NANTES or Chinese troops attacked Hactoi,
the capital OF Tonquin, on March 90 but
were repulsed by the French. He also said
Captain Kergaradec bears letter from Pres

that his inability to assure the security Of
Tonquin compels France to establish herself
definitely there. The letter advises the King
not to resist but invites him to recognize
the protectorate of France and guarantees
the integrity of his dominions.
Conrad added that the French would col
lect the taxes in AMMAN, and install officials
devoted to France. The occupation of the
Delta. he said, would lead to possession of
the whole province. The commission then
adopted a report in favor of the credit pro-
posed by the government for the expedition.
The reinforcements for Tonquin include
three batteries OF mountain artillery.

ports telegraphed from here to Chicago last
night, and sent out from there in the Asso-
ciated Press report this morning, concerning
the fire at the Western coal mine at West

most grossly exaggerated character. Only
the engine-house at the mine was burned,
involving loss of abont 5000. The fire is
believed to be the work of an incendiary,
and is attributed to the striking miners, but
at mass meeting of strikers yesterday they
denounced the act and promised to do all

SENATOR FAIRS SENTIMENTS.
He Wants What VIII Contribute to the
Happiness of His Family.

SAN FRANcIsco, May 9.-Senator Fair. in
ciated Press representative, regretted bitterly
and keenly the notoriety given matter SO
exclusively concerning himself and his wife.
He said: II am the man, and l am willing
all the odium which the public, in ignorance
of the real facts, may choose be cast upon
me; but my regret is for my wife, whose
name should be associated and Incorporated
in dispatches transmitted all over the coun-
try. Now, as always, my desire has been to
do that which would contribute to the hap
piness of my wife and children Ii have
in any way failed, God knows it has not
been prompted by desire to do so. Now,
as ever, 1 want that which will
best contribute to the happiness
of my family. If my wife thinks a
separation will contribute to her further
happiness, then her mind and mine are
alike. have done nothing to merit the
obloquy cast upon me, and those who best
Know me will tell you what my desires are
in this matter. God has blessed me with
wealth, and l aaxe never used it for any
mean or unmanly purpose. My heart and
hand have always been open to those in dis
tress, and will continue to be to those who
seek or require my help. I repeat that in
this matter with my wife, which has been
made so public, L have nothing to say fur
ther than that Il pains me TO see her name and
mine associated with such dastardly and vim
dictiye. dispatches. as have gone forth to the
world. l am the man while she is the wo-
man. and in these relations will shield her
name at every point in my power"

WIND AND STORM.



EAsroN, Pa, May 9.-Passengers state that
the hurricane in the Lehigh and Wyoming
valleys last evening was the severest known
in eastern Pennsylvania. Between Penn
Haven and Haza.ton trees in the woods for a
distance OF 1000 feet were moved down like
grass The wind and rain beatso hard against
the windows of the cars that the passengers
had to place the cushions of the seats against
them to prevent them being blown in. The
engineer of one train, to avoid wreck by
falling trees, reduced the speed to coal
train time. At Gould's siding, near
White Haven, the engine of a passenger
train was struck by falling telegraph pole
and damaged; the same pole struck a pas
senger car, making splinters of its front, and
about the same time tree fell and broke
the windows on the right side, alarming the
passengers All this occurred while the
train was running at full speed. A short
distance below the train men had to move
two telegraph poles that lay across the track.
Near Rockport rock weighing thirty tons
rolled from the hillside and lodged on the
track A Waterman saw it in time to stop
trains going that way. Near Stony Creek
station four freight cars of moving Lehigh
Valley train were overturned.
