PHILADELPHIA Nov. 22.-The International
Navigation Company, which recently purchased
four American built steamships, of the Ameri
can Steamship Company, and which assumed
the company's agreements with the owners of
five British vessels, all of which have been and
are still run between this port and Liverpool
under the title, American line" is seriously
considering the running of the American
built steamers under the British flag instead
of under the American flag, as at present 1--WE
shall try the old plan for some time longer"
said an officer of the company to-day, because
we are loath to haul down the stars and stripes
1t is matter of patriotism solely that now
keeps the old Gag where it is. Under the Brit
ish flag we could run these steamers at very CON
siderably less cost for the reason that now we
are compelled TO ship men at American ports,
and American labor is much higher than labor
abroad

WHO WILL BE BOSS?
The Supporters of Hendricks Say They VIII
Run Things.


Washington Special
The utterances of Cleveland on the position Of
the colored men and of Hendricks on the civil
service have attracted attention to-day in both
Republican and Democratic quarters. The Re-
publicans regard it as extraordinary that Dem
ocratic Presdent-eect should deem it necessary
to announce that his administration will not
mean the re-enslavement of several mill
ions of American citizens. The Democrats
were apprehensive at the radical machine
utterances of Hendricks on the civil service.
The conservative men fear it means split
in the party unless they are grossly deceived as
to Cleveands intentions. The spoilsmen re-
joice in it, as they feel convinced that the Hen
bricks policy will be the policy of the admins
tration. One of Hendricks nearest political
friends said to-day:
"That is the only kind of civil service there
will be under the administration Grover
Cleveland cannot carry out any such theories
as he has advanced He will have but four
years in office anyway, and the President in
1855 will be Thomas A. Hendricks. The West
and South will not permit the bookish men
of the East to prevent the Democracy from Sc
curing the fruits of its victory Mr.. Cleveland
will not be able to stand the pressure even if he
has been rightly understood az. i'm earnest on this
matter. The civil-service scheme of the Repub-
licans will have to go.
The same gentleman added that Mcdonald
would not be given n Cabinet place that he
would not be provided for until there should be
vacancy the Supreme bench, when he
would be appointed to that position. The Hen
bricks men really talk as if they would be the
administration.

What NJ. Ferry Hopes to Accomplish by the

What NJ. Ferry Hopes to Accomplish by the
Blockade of FOrmosa.
PARIS Nov 22.--The minutes of the TonOuin
credit committee have been published. 1t ap-
pears from these that Prime Minister Ferry de-
clared in committee that no diplomatic CORE
spondence had been exchanged with the powers
on the subject of Tonquin. There had been sim
ply friendly verbal explanation, and the media
ton of Germany in the Franco Chinese difficulty
had neither been asked nor offered; neither had
anything been asked of England, and any at
tempt at mediation in any event would prove
futile if information concerning them
should be prematurely published. The
committee thereupon referred to the
rumors current concerning English mediation
and asked NJ Ferry if he believed the British offer
sincere, and whether England did not require
compensation. Ferry repeated that no diplo-
matte document embodying such a demand was
in existence, there being merely verbal assur-
ance given Of the soliditary of all European
interests. The blockade of Formosa, he declared,
was made with the acGuiescence of England; it
was entirely pacific in its purpose, and was sim
liar to the blockade of the coasts of Greece in
1927. I'VE shall not, he continued exercise
tke right of search or capture on the high seas
but have the right of access to blockaded ports
and to sink any ships that attempt to run the
blockade
The committee asked Ferry how he hoped to
force the hand of China, and he replied that he
'hoped to accomplish this by remaining in Formo-
ga and fortifying our positions there. China has
refused to tolerate the Japanese in Formosa
and she will not acquese in our presence there.
Regarding indemnity. he said the revenue from
Keelung, and the customs dues collected at
Tamsui for twenty years, might form the equiya-
lent of the money demanded. 'and any way
he said, 1--WE believe it will be to the military and
political advantage of France not to evacuate
Tonquin and FormOsa, but to strengthen our
garrisons there"
Admiral Courbet telegraphs from Keeling
that detachment Of 400 French troops de-
stroyed Chinese fort and other works on the
road between Keelung and Tamsui.
The Debats and other journals of this city
protest against any further efforts on the part Of
France for mediation. They claim that the
pour parlers on the part of China are evidently
made by the Chinese with hope of firing the
French and that China is not yet pursuaded by
the force of events that the French are resolved
to maintain their claims.

Fatally Beaten by Her Jealous Lover.

PlrTsBURG, Pa, Nov. Pin a fit Of jealousy
this morning, young man named Samuel
Stewart brutally assaulted his sweetheart, Kate
Hobson, inflicting probably fatal injuries. The
couple attended coachman's ball, at
Oddfelows Hall, last night, and, in
the course of the evening, Stewart be-
came so intoxicated that Miss Hobson
refused to allow him to accompany her home
and left with another young man. At o'clock
this morning Stewart kicked at the door of Miss
Hobson's residence, and rushing up to her room,
knocked her down and beat her in an unmerci-
full manner When found she was semi con
scious-with two ribs broken, her face pounded
to jelly, and with other injuries, which, it is
feared, will result in her death. Stewart has
been arrested

member of the national Republican committee,
in which he says that while l did not issue an
Office open election day, the order was is
sued by an assistant, but by Mr. Hatton's
order This is wholly incorrect No oficee of
the Postofhce Department had any instructions
from me in regard to an order affecting the New
York postoffice on election day Equally in
correct is the statement that the Democratic
chairman called my attention to the law pro-
hbiting the closing Of Offices on cleo
ton days. never, to my knowl-
edge. met Mr.. Barnum until this evening,
since reading the DesMoines dispatches when l
was introduced to him by Senator Blair, of New

subject. Equally incorrect is the statement
that said to a leading Democrat in Mount
Pleasant or to any one else, during my re-
cent visit to Iowa. that l intended to keep
the New York postofce open election day.
The records of the Department. show that the
acting Postmaster general, the night before the
election, telegraphed to the postmaster of New
York to give his employees full opportunity
to exercise the right of suffrage, and
terview says: Every man engaged
in the postoffice had ample opportunity, during
the time between the opening and the close of
the polling places to deposit his ballot in his own
election district. This matter does not seem to
warrant any further discussion, and shall re-
ceive no more attention at my hands do not
want to believe that Mr.. Clarkson desires TO
purposely misrepresent me"

Death of Isaac W. Wiley, Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.

Methodist Episcopal Church.
New YORK, Nov 22.-Rev. J. NJ. Reid, sec
retary of the Methodist Missionary Society has
received cablegram from Foo Chow China,
saying that Bishop Isaac W. Wiley, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. of Cincinnati, died
to-day, while on episcopal visit to the mis-
Bions Of Japan and China His death was sud
den and unexpected. A tuner of the stomach
was the cause of death. He died at the residence
Of N. ]. Plumb, missionary, at Foo Chow.
Isaac W. Wiley was born in Lewistown Pa, ,
March 90, 1926 He united with the church
when but ten years of age, but entered on a
more thorough religious life at the age of thir
teen. AT the age of eighteen he was licensed to
exhort, and year afterward to preach. A won
derful revival having occurred at this time, he
labored day and night for about six months.
From this labor his throat suffered severely. He
had been preparing to enter the sophomore class
in Dickinson College, but the affection of
his throat being considered permanent, he
commenced the study of medicine and
was graduated in 1886 from the medical
department of the University of New York. He
pursued, also, course of classical study in the
same institution. He commenced the practice
of medicine in Western Pennsylvania, and sub
sequently in 1S49, removed to PottsVille. At
the request of Dr. Durbin he went as medical
missionary to Foo Chow, China after having
been received into the East Genesee Conference.
He attended an additional course of lectures in
the University of New York, and in March, 1850,
sailed for China, holding his membership, at his
own request, in the Philadelphia Conference.
He returned from China in May, 1854, and was
Immediately assigned to fill vacancy on Staten
Island. In 1855 he was transferred to the Newark
Conference, where he was successfully stationed
in Newark and in Jersey City. In 1858 he
took charge of Pennington Seminary where he
continued until 1863. in 1864 he was elected
editor of the Ladies' Repository, and was re-
elected to that position in 1865. He was elected
a bishop of the church in 1872. On his return
from China he published book entitled, '"The
Fallen Missionaries of Foo Chow While acting
as editor of the Repository he also edited the
books, and published THE Religion of the Fam
lily" Bishop Wiley had visited the various
States and Territories and travelled extensively
abroad At the time of his death he was engaged
in an extensive tour visiting the missions in
China and Japan.

round sharply and left him.
In spite OF the excellent advice which
Mr.. Whitlestatr had received from his
housekeeper, bidding him not have any
more words, even with himself, on the
matter, he could but think of all the
arguments which John Gordon had
used to him. According to Mrs. Bag
gett, he ought TO content himself with
knowing that he could find food and
raiment and shelter for his intended
wife, and in feeling that he had her
prUm and her assurance that that
promise should be respected. There
was to him rock in all this, upon
which he could build with absolute
safety. And he did not believe that,
were he 20 10 act, she would turn round
upon him with future years or neglect
her duty, because she was ever thinking
Of John Gordon. Ho knew that she
would be too steadiast Tor all that, and
that even though there might be some
sorrow at her heart, it would be well
kept down, out of his sight, out of the
sight Of the world at large, and would
gradually sink out Of herown sight, too
But If it be givento TO a man ''to maundel
