that the rapid fall of the Nile increases the
fears that Wolseley's plan for reaching Khar-

II the boats to have been used should be
completed in the Liverpool and Clyde yards

DUST TO DUST.
The Remains of Senator Anthony Laid
to Rest-An Imposing Ceremony.

PROVIDENCE, Sept. O. The funeral of
Senator Anthony was solemnized from the
First Congregational church at noon to-day.
1t was the occasion of a gathering of the
representative men of the nation and state,
such as probably has never been equalled in
this city. A Sunday quiet prevailed in the
central part of the city, many of the largest
business houses being closed during the
hours of the funeral. Emblems of sorrow
were displayed from many shops and various
parts OF the city. The arrangements were
under Charge of w. P. Conrady, sergeant-at-
arms of the senate. The doors Of the church
were thrown open to the public shortly after
l1-o'clock, and shortly after Gov. Bourne
accompanied by his staff ex-governors,
state officials and long procession of past
and present members of the legislature filed
INTO the main entrance, followed by the
judges OF the supreme court, circuit Judges,
United States federal officers and large dele
cations from various local bodies. AS the
bells rang out the hour of noon the casket
containing the remains of the lamented
senator was slowly borne from his late resi-
dence. President Arthur entered side
door accompanied by Edmunds, president of
the United States senate, and other distin-
guished persons. The massive pulpit in
front was tastefully and appropriately draped
with Grape, while on the communion table
rested beautiful cross of tea roses and
plnks, to which was attached a sym
bolic floral anchor. There were other
magnificent floral offerings. The remains
were met at the entrance by the officiating
clergyman, Rev. Thomas r. Slicer, pastor of
the church, Rev. Augustus Woodbury. and
Chaplain Huntley, of the United States SEN
ate, who preceded them down the middle
aisle, reciting the service of the dead, while
the solemn and expressive strains of the
dead March in Saul'' flooded over the
hushed assemblage. After the casket had
been deposited in the chancel Rev. Mr..
Woodbury. then delivered the funeral Grafton,
after which hymn was sung and the bene-
diction pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Slicer. A
very long cortege followed the remains to
Swan Point cemetery, where they were in

Prey on French Commerce.
Probable Failure of Wolseley's Plan

Shipwrecked Sailors Forced to Murder

FRANCE AND CHINA.

VIENNA, Sept, ct is reported that China
has called for 25, 900 men to defend Pekin
and granted the minister of war 1900, 900
francs to purchase munitions of war.
PARIS, Sept 6.-Admiral Mot cables that
he has seized Passondova bay, Madagascar,
without resistance. The French still occupy
Tamatava.
President Grevy has sent Prime Minister
Ferry the letter he received from the depu-
ties of the extreme left, in which the de-
mand is made for the convocation of the
chambers in view of the conflict with China.
President Grevy does this because the reserve
imposed on him by the constitution prevents
his answering personally.
Advices from China state that Admiral
Courbet has left Kelung and joined the feet
In the Min river, where he will await rein
forcements from Saigon before attempting
to occupy Kelung. A steamer runs daily be-
tween Sharp Steak, the landing place Of the
cable, and Foo-C Chow to carry kilograms.
LONDON, Sept Ga Hong Kong dispatch
says the governor of that place has received
orders to enforce the provisions of the for
eign enlistment ac'. The governor has no.
tilted the French admiral of these orders,
and the latter will respect the measure.
CHINESE PRIvATRERs.
LONDON, Sept 6.-In response to the de-
mands of the press to strengthen the British
fleet in Chinese waters, a communique has
been issued by the admiralty, stating it is
preparing to dispatch several cervettes and
composite sloops to China. The army and
Navy Gazette, however, declares the admiralty
is trying to throw dust in the eyes of the pub
lie to conceal the fact that there is no single
vessel ready to send through the Suez canal
that would be able to sustain the attack by
the weakest French ironclad under Adj
miral Courbet. If there was q ship ready,
it says, the admiralty would be unable to
man her without calling on the reserves or
forcing the crews at foreign stations TO re-
main beyond their term of service. The
Gazette asserts England is in position of
such utter naval collapse as will take years to
remedy.
1t is reported that Chinese agents in Glas-
gov, Liverpool and London are trying to
arrange privateer commissioners with the
object Of preying on French commerce.
Vanity Fair publishes memorandum which
Gen. Gorden prepared for the Chinese gov
eminent in 1880 on the power of China to
make a privateer war. Gen. Gordon lays
stress on the legal necessity that privateer
must start under letters of marQue from a
Chinese port.
The report that subjects of England and
Germany in the Chinese service had been
recalled by the governments of these two
countries is declared untrue.

HENDRICKS INTERVIEWED
His Opinion Of Buffers Candidacy
Frankly Expressed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Elm an interview
in this afternoons Nescs, Gov. Hendricks
was asked:
''What do you think will be the result of
the Butler canvassl'
':That is very difficult question to an
swer. Mr.. Butler is unquestionably very
dangerous man before an audience, and he
will attract large audiences, and were the
election to occur to-day, should be inclined
to concede him considerable vote; but the
weakening process is going on steadily.
The people do not like to throw votes away,
and the certainty that his election is impos
sible under any circumstances will deter
many of his admirers from voting for him,
and it is also impossible for him to effect as
perfect an organization as that possessed by
either of the old parties. But Mr.. Butler is a
remarkable man, and those who know him
best admit that he is u very good one"
eff the Chicago convention had placed
your name at the head of the ticket don't
you think you would have had his sup
port!'
81 know it, said Mr.. Hendricks warmly.
81 know it.''

mits Suicide and the Bank
Closes.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Sept. 6.-There
is big run on the National bank. The
police are keeping back the crush. The bank
is paying all demands, but may close all its
doors to-day, as the surplus stock has been
impaired. 1t is rumored there is deficiency
of 100000. No one doubts it. Cashier
Charles S. Hill committed suicide. Gov.
Abbott has appointed DR.. c. NJ. Slack county
clerk, the place being vacant by HIPS
death.

stopped payment at 12:45. The run has
been tremendous all day. All the surplus
is exhausted, but the bank expects funds
from New York to help to tide over the diff
Guilty. 1t is certain Hill committed suicide.
His deficiency ranges from 1925, 1000 to
$780, 600. One of the directors, NJ. G. Mar

ROME, Sept. 6.-The cabinet ministers
visiting the cholera stricken quarters of Ma
pies have returned to Rome. They are i'm
pressed with the belief that the rapid
spread of cholera in Naples is due to the
sanitary condition of the city. The report
that the sanitary council had decided to quar-
antine at the frontier is groundless. Dur
ing the past twenty-four hours in Italy the
new cases in cholera numbered 293, deaths

is confined to Spezia and vicinity. One
hundred and sixty-eight fresh cases, and
sixty-eight Of the deaths reported above were
in the city of Naples alone. The project of
Riggio has been summoned to Rome in con-
sequence of the demonstrations at that
place.

The Races.


The weather was so threatening Yesterday
that very few ventured out to the fair
grounds, and at 2 o'clock, the advertised
time for starting the first race, there were
scarcely 100 people in the grand stand.
Ten minutes later it began to rain gently,
and for nearly an hour it continued to driz-
zle, rendering the track so heavy that good
time was impossible. The shower, however,
caused no cessation of the races, and all the
events on the programme were contested
and decided. Mike Wilkes won the 2:25
pacing race in three straight heats, but
Theresa Scott made an interesting struggle
to overtake him in the two last heats. In
the running race Fleur de Lis and Centen-
NAL Maid had fight for first place in the
first heat in 1:473l, but in the second Fleur
de Lis, although never far in the lead, came
under the wire an easy winner, as she was
not forced to use her reserve, The gentle
mems roadster race was the prettiest of the
day, and the audience had a deal of merri-
ment out of it. It took five heats to decide
the race, Pattie taking the first and third,
and Kittie Stratton the second, fourth and
fifth. Gold Seal came under the wire first in
the first heat, but was set back to fourth
place for running half the distance. After
the other races were over Splan sent Johnston
around the track a time or two to let the au-
dience see his style Of going, and shortly af-
forwards Gem and Firebrand wound up the
fair in an exhibition mile to beat Minnie
RS 2:11% of Friday.
PACING, 2:25 CLASS.
At 80 the horses in the pacing race were
called. Mollie L drew the pole, Mike Wilkes
second, Theresa Scott third, and Niger last.
They got away at the second attempt. At
the turn Mike Wilkes went to the front, and
increased his lead at viii to the three-ouar-
tiers, where Spencer pulled him up to allow
the others to save their distance. Niger
acted badly and broke two or three times.
The order at the finish was Mike Wilkes.
Mollie L, Theresa Scott and Niger. Time,
2:25%.
SECOND HEAT.
The horses got away OF the second attempt.
1t was raining steadily and the track was
growing heavy. Mike Wilkes again led at
the turn, but Theresa Scott came up rapidly,
and at the quarter she had her nose ahead.
Further up the course Mike showed up at the
front, but Theresa Scott AMI Mollie L were
going well and made it exceedingly warm
for the leader. When they reached the dis
lance stand there was less than a lengths
| difference between the three. Mollie came
in under the whip, but she could not foot
the ground fast enough, and got third place.
Mike Wilkes was first, Theresa Scott second,
and Niger last. Time, 2:2S15.
THIRD HEAT.
Before furlong was trotted Theresa Scott
came up on even terms with Mike Wilkes.
AT the quarter pole Theresa had a lead of a
neck. The two went together to the home
stretdh. where Mike pulled out and won by q

Why Arctic Explorer Henry was Shot.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 6.-Julius R.
Fredericks who was sergeant in the Greedy
polar expedition, is in the city. He denies
the story that there we're two factions in the
Greedy party, and says the men of the expe-
dition were united and harmonious. There
may have been cannibalism, but of this he
has no personal knowledge. He gives the
following account of the shooting of Henry:
'Henry had been warned several times
about stealing food but he repeated the Of
Tense, and finally Greedy issued the order of
his execution. Three guns were loaded, two
with ball and one with a blank cartridge.
Frederick, Long, and Brainard were detailed
to carry the order into effect They took the
guns and found Henry $50 yards away in
the act of stealing seal skins. The three
men approached within twenty yards, and
the ranking man called out, Henry, we are
now compelled to carry out our orders. ,
The men fired, and Henry dropped dead.n

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Postotfice Notes-Rag Importations-
SIGNAL Service Notes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The commission
appointed to investigate the condition of
the Pittsburg postoffice, has made a
report. They recommend the abolition of
the office cashier, and the consolida-
ton of the duties of that Office with those of
the assistant postmaster, whose salary is to
be increased from 81, 700 to $4,000. They
also recommended the abolition of the office
of chief clerk of the mail division, and the
separation of the mail and city delivery di-
visions, now under one head. The carrier
service is severely criticized in the report as
not prompt and lacking in discipline, but
the city has been redistricted, and an i'm
proved service will go into operation the
first proXimo. With view of securing
proper degree of efficiency in the city deliv-
cry of the service, it is recommended that
the postmaster be instructed to
select from the present force the most
available man for superintendent, at
an additional salary of $500 per annum. No
additional force is regarded as necessary. A
number of suggestions are made looking to
the establishment of discipline in the office,
and to the proper enforcement of rules. The
changes recommended in the report involve
an annual expenditure of s11, $50, and re-
duction of $4,000; net decrease of ex-
pense, s., $50.
The treasury department received letter
to-day from DR.. Hill, United States health
officer, London, asserting that the importa-
ton of rags into this country from England
is fraught with great danger. Smallpox, he
says, is and has been for some time preva-
lent in London, where quantities of rags are
collected and shipped to America, and large
quantities of continental rags are forwarded
to London for shipment to American ports.
These rags undergo no process of disinfec-
ton previous to importation, and are
very likely agents to convey infection of
cholera or smallpox, if collected in infected
localities. Twenty-three bags of rags were
recently shipped to New York by the Lydian
Monarch, upon the representation that they
had not been collected in any infected dis
drict, but an investigation showed they came
from Dunkirk, France, where cholera has
just broken out. Large quantities of CONT
mental rags are now being forwarded to
America by way of Hull, more dangerous
port to ship from than either Liverpool or
London.
The signal service reports that light frost
is indicated for Sunday morning in Dakota
western Nebraska and northern Minnesota.
There are no indications of very cold wave
in Manitoba
