The Sun, Instead OF Reducing
Its Price, Decides 20 Double
It's Size.

Special to the Chicago Evening Telegram.
NEW YoRK, September 20 The re-
fusal Of newsdealers throughout the
city, with a few exceptions, to sell the
Herald at less than three cents is ex-
citing great interest. William Henry,
business manager Of the Herald, says
that its circulation has largely in.
creased since it reduced its price
Nevsdealers say that. while the Her
aid may have increased its out-of-
town circulation, its circulation in
New York City and suburbs has grown
less. The newsdealers also say that
at present, in consequence OF the
small margin Of profit allowed them,
they only buy as many Heralds as
they are sure Of selling. Previous to
the reduction they bought Heralds
for transient custom. Henry said
that the Herald fought the news
dealers successfully when the paper
reduced its price from four to three
cents, and be was confident that the
Herald could Illustrate any organized
efforts of the newsdealers.
The loss entailed by the Herald in
reducing its price is to be borne by the
advertisers. The advertising rates Of
the Herald have gone up Eve cents a
line. The resolution ofthe newsdeal
ers to charge extra for serving the
Herald and Times by carriers is said
by Mr.. Henry, Of the Herald, and Mir.
Gilbert Jones, Of the Times, to be a
matter exclusively for the cozsidera,
tion Of the newsdealer and his patron,
and that they may come to any agree
ment they please about it, Jones, in
speaking of the action Of the news.
dealers, said the Times anticipated no
trouble from them, as the newsdealers
made as much percentage on the Times
now as they did before the paper was
reduced to two cents. When the
Times was sold for four cents tn
dealer made one cent profit; now when
il sells for two cents the dealer de
rives a half cent profit.
The Sun, instead Of reducing its
price to one cent, as has been anticia
pated, will meet the reductions made
by the Times and Herald by doubling
its size. 1t will hereafter appear as
an eight-page paper.

The Board of Referees for West

the docket Of the Supreme Court, will
remove to Memphis and begin to hear

Monday, and probably sit about thirty
days. This will be a great accommo>
datiOn to the Memphis bar. Decisions,
We presume, will not be rendered here,
but at Jackson after they reas
scmble. Jackson seems greatly agitated
over the matter, if we may judge from
a long editorial in the Tribune and

there can be affected or lose anything
by the change, except a few boarding

the move is argued at nearly a col.

Masataka Yamanaka, a japanese stu
dent from Franklin and Marshall college.
Lancaster, Pa, delivered an interesting
address at Christ Reformed church,
Sixteenth and Green streets, yesterday.
The pastor, Rev. G. Fl Johnston, said the
speaker arr ived in California only sir
seven years ago, but soon became q d
vert to Christianity. He came to Marsj
college to fit himself for missionary VI
in his native country. Mr.. Yamanaka
spoke from the text: Lo, am with
you alway, even to the end Of the world
He praised the heroic devotion exhibited
by converts and missionaries in Japan in
the face of the greatest persecution for
having told the people the plain story Of
the Scriptures. He attributed the perse-
cution to ignorance, as the people did not
know Christianity was the true faith. The
principal work had heretofore bean oOn-
fined to the seaboaFd cities, bus OF lato
they had penetrated to the interior eities.
One Christian university had been estab-
lished and was in charge Of graduate Of
Apdover. Even the Buddhist priests had
come to recognize the importance Of the
work, and were now distributing anti
Christian tracts, in which they confess
that Christianity il spreading like fire on

been contributed by the converted Japan
csc themselves in the past two years to
be expended in sustaining the missionary
work.

1t was rather graceless task for Mr..
Randall to propose a vote of thanks to
Speaker Keifer. Nobody comes out of
the last Congress with less credit than
the presiding officer. Mr.. Randall may
have regarded it as common decency -
and no great strain upon the politeness
due to a political adversary to offer the
resolution, but he might have remem-
bered that such vote was denied Kelfer
at the close of the last session, and that,
too, in large part by the influence of Mr..
Randall's colleague, ex-Gov. Curtin,
whom Keifer had treated so meanly
that he could not with any proper sense
of self-respect assent to such resolution.
It is difficult to see how Keifer estab.
>hshed any new claims to considera-
tion during the last session. He
signalized its closing scenes with ILL.,
treatment Of the correspondents and
messages to them conveyed in language
that lacked the forms of common
liecency." He vacated the seat of one
Of the official reporters of the House to
make place until the next session for his
nephew at SIS 900 a year and nothing to
do in the interval. Altogether Keifer
was bad lot, and he has scant claims
even on the" common decency" which
has been SO often lost sight of in the
House under his regime.

Down In tho mississippi.
A special from Donaldsville, Louisiana,
says that on Sunday morning at o'clock
the steamboat YazoO, when near Bonnet
Care, struck an obstruction, supposed to
be log, and began to fill. She was landed
and a small line put out. The line parted
and the boat sank. The following persons
were picked up by the steamboat st. John
from the floating debris : ]. B. Sullivan,
captain /; w B. Foulke, first clerk; R. E.
Cooley, pilot; Bill Curtis, barkeeper; !;
Alphonse, barber; Grant Miller, third
cook, and six roustabouts and the following
passengers Mrs. r. E. Cooley, Miss Dan
iels and J. R. Richardson. 1t is hoped that
remainder of the crew and passengers
went ashore while the line was being
made fast. Captain Sullivan and the
other persons saved from the Yazoo. whose
names were given in the Times Democrat
dispatch, have arrived in this city on the
Jesse K. Bell. The captain reports the
following persons known to be lost: Lee
Carper, second clerk Christ Kerns, first
mate John Franz, carpenter; Dan Light
ner steward the colored chambermaid
and eight colored roustabouts. Also the
following passengers Mrs. Lewis, of
Chicago; the seven -months-old child of
Pilot Cooley and colored moman, name
unknown. The disaster occurred at
Gypsy Point, about IS miles above this
city. The boat was heavily laden with
miscellaneous freight, the value of which
is not known. The boat was valued at
at 81. 500 and is insured for SIS, 600 in the
Peoples insurance company, of New
Orleans, and the Eureka, of Cincinnati.
