Missionary Shaw's Arrest-An ExpIana-
 tton Rendered to England.
 PARIS, Aug. 23.-The French government has shown some anxiety at the earnest atti- tude assumed by England in the Shaw mat ter and has lost no time in informing the Gladstone ministry through M. Washington that Mir. Shaw was arrested neither as 8 mis- sionary nor an Englishman, but because the French commandant had what was regarded as sufficient proof that he was on confidential terms with the Malagassy ministry and was furnishing to the Hova leaders information and advice hostile to the French. He is not accused of having done this by the authority of any British officer, but on his own person. al account. which leaves him answerable only to the French authorities and deprives him of British protection. The government has en- deavored to fully explain the matter to Eng land and has assured the English cabinet that MT. Shaw shall have every opportunity to defend himself and that no unnecessary de- lay will be had in providing all the facts. Dispatches from London to might say that an explanation has already been made in Parlia- ment and that the British government will not take further action until additional in- formation has been received

A Defeat for Tammany Hau.

SARATOGA, Aug. 23. = The Democratic State committee met at the United States Hotel at o'clock and after long and sharp debate adopted the plan of representation in the coming convention proposed by R. B. Roosevelt of New York. The plan was strongly opposed by the members of Tam many Hall. especially by Senator Grady, ex- Comptroller Kelly's proxy on the committee. It was, however, agreed to by vote of 1S to 12. The committee agreed upon Buffalo as the place for holding the convention and fixed the date for September 27.
 The action of the Democratic State com rnittee in adopting Mr. RooSevelt's plan for chosing delegates from New York city is con- sidered by some here as 8 decided victory over John Kelley and is reported by others as settlement of the question. Some of the Tammany people affect to accept 1t in good faith and proclaim themselves still for harmony. It is pretty generally believed, however, that Kelley will appeal to the State committee disregarding the action of the committee to-day. The selection of Baffalo as the place of meeting of the convention excited surprise and was not done in apirit of fraternity altogether.

The Rochester CycIOne-Its Approach as
 Described by an Eyewitness.
 ROCHESTER, Aug. 33.-George Mcdonald, who occupied an upper room at the Cook House, thus describes the approach of the cyclone q was standing at a window watching the approaching storm with no thought of the fearful consequences which would follow. The sky was a mass of om- inous inky clouds which made the earth as dark as twilight, but illuminated every few seconds by vivid flashes of lightning darting from one cloud to another. strange still ness pervaded the town, hush as if there was sense of impending calamity. Then a low rushing sound as of high wind blow ing through the trees was heard, which grew gradually louder until it amounted to a roar. Men and women ran hither and .thith- CT seeking shelter. Shingles and dust filled the air. To the southwest I saw a huge black funnel shaped cloud approaching which seemed to be revolving with great Eapidity.I rushed to shut the window, but be- fore I could reach it there was 2 horrible crashing, banging and breaking The whole building shook and the wind rushed in with such force as to throw me to the floor. The shock lasted but a few seconds. The street was filled with debris and people were run ming about looking for lost friends and rela- tions while the cries of the injured were heard on every side"
 In field near Dodge Center a herd of twenty cattle stood in the track of the cy- clone. Of these nine were killed. The horns of eleven others were found sticking in the ground, showing that the cattle had been caught suddenly by the wind and thrown to the ground head first, the horns being left in the ground. Ex-Congressman Dunnell arrived on the first train from Owat- tonna after the news of the disaster was re- ceived and was conspicuous among those helping to extract the mangled remains from the ruins. At Owattonna a meeting of citi- zens last night authorized the city council to appropriate 1000 for the Rochester suf- ferers.

Opening of the ExpOsttton-A Grand and
 natus.
 CINCINNATI, Aug. 23.-Grand preparations are being made here by the Order of Gin oinnatus on the occasion of the opening of the eleventh industrial exposition. The beauties and wonders of the New Orleans Mardi Gras and the Baltimore Oriole will be rivaled by Cincinnatus and his followers and for two days and nights Rex and thirty members of his royal court from the Crescent City will be the guests of the former. In order that fitting reception may be tender ed his majesty Rex of New Orleans and to arrange proper ceremonial for his own advent the dictator ot the Order of Cinoin- natus issued his proclamation to his followers to-day.
 Edict fourth of the proclamation assigns Patrician James A. Wise to the duty of com modore of the fotiIla of State, who will be
 ably assisted by four vice commodores, and
 instruct them to put their transports in order
 at once. The hotiIlas of State will consist of
 some twenty-five or thirty steamers and
 transports which will on the evening of
 September 9th after receiving the load of
 citizens and others slowly steam down to 8
 point three miles below the city where the
 steamer having Rex and his royal family
 aboard will be met and escorted back to the
 levee front of this city. The scene that this
 great AotilIa will present with flags flying,
 bands playing, cannon booming, crowds cheering and an elaborate display of electric lights and fireworks will be one un-
 surpassed for splsndor and something never
 before seen in the United States. On the advent of Rex there will be parade of mil itary and the members of the order from the
 wharf to the expoaision buildings, where Mayor Stephens will deliver te the. i1lustrious visitor from New Orleans the key of the city, while Oaptain Peabody will extend to him the freedom of 'the greatest in the world" !" On the first night as an adjunct to the inaugural ceremonies there will be tableaux by Rex and his court and q reception rendered to him until 10 o'clock. Wednesday, evening, Sep tember 9th, the street pageant consisting of | fifty floats will be given. Rex and his court will be attired in the gorgeous robes which are undoubtedly the finest and most expen- sive ever used on an occasion of this kind. Business men and others are already making ! preparation to decorate their places of busi- ness and residences and the display of buAt. 1 ing will be one that will be to the credit of ! the Queen City. platform seating five thousand will be erected on Fountain Square and the seats will be under the direction of | the order as well as those to be erected on the opposite side of the street from which Rex will l view the pageant. The dictator last | evening appointed John Garrison as chief of ! the visitors accommodation bureau with 1 headquarters at 10e West Fourth street, who announces to all parties abroad expecting to visit the city during the festivities and de- siring this bureau to arrange for their &C., ! commodation that they should apply at once | giving the date of their expected arrival and

The Cholera Dying Out-But Little Ma-
 tertaI Left to Feed on.
 ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 23.-The cholera is gradually leaving the Delta and working it's way along the Nile into upper Egypt. To- day only sixty-six deaths are reported, 8 much less number than had been expected in this city. This would indicate that the fears which have been general that the infection would extend to the upper portion of the city are groundIess and that the disease as it proceeds into the interior and sparsely pop ulated districts lying along the upper Nile will die out for want of material to feed upon The fact that but 209 deaths have been re- corded to-day for the entire infected district strongly supports this view. The reinforce ment of the. admirable sanitary regulations of the British authorities has been largely instrumental in allaying the violence of the scourge.
