A NEW CHINESE MINISTER.
Chang Yen Goes HOme-He Likes America
Very Well.

1eu UOtS UG llhco AulcIlCd
Very Well.
| Especial to THE HERALD--Examiner Dispatch ]
WASHINGTON, April S.-The United States
will have early in the coming summer, a
new minister from China. His name is
Tsui HOOK Van. He is man Of scholarly
attainments, and holds high rank as men,
Der of the imperial academy at Pekin.
The present minister, Chang Yen Hoon,
will not leave America until his successor
arrives. He will return to China by way
of Europe, stopping at Paris and visiting
the exposition en- route
The change in ministers is made in con-
formity with the custom of the Chirese
foreign Office, which does not permit their
representatives to remain longer than three
years in any country.
Chang Yen HOon expresses himself as
well pleased with his stay in America. He
likes the people, and so far as Washington
society goes, he is very popular. He is
fond of American cooking, and shortly after
his arrival here, discharged his native cook
and substituted a French chef. He will
probably receive the appointment of pro
visional treasurer or governor OF one OF the
Chinese provinces upon his arrival at home.
The Chinese minister to England will be
relieved about the time that Chang Yen
Hoon is. He will be made governor of
Canton. His successor will be the present
superintendent of arsenals at Shanghai.
It is authoritatively stated that no
opinion will be rendered in the Chae Chan
Ping case, which was recently argued be-
fore the supreme court with view to test
ing the constitutionality of the Chinese ex-
clusion law, which passed Congress last
summer, until early in May.
The bench is said to be divided upon
several material points, and it is unlikely
that any decision will be reached for at
least four weeks.

THE CASE OF ENSIGN SCHWERIN.
He is Sent -Lieutenant-C Commander
Emory Detached.

| Especial to THE HRRALD-Examiner-D Dispatch
| WASHINGTON, April S.-The case of En-
sign Z. P. Schwerin, attached to the
Thetis now at San Francisco, has been
settled by Secretary Tracy, and that young
officer will be ordered tomorrow to return
to the ship and resume his duties.
1t will be remembered that while at Sitka,
Alaska, he and his commanding officer,
Lieutenant Commander W. H Emory, had
some trouble which resulted in Ensign
SchWer1n being sent to the navy yard at
Mare Island under arrest, and was
confined on board the Independence.
When the ship arrived, Liutenant-
Commander Emory preferred charges, and
the secretary of the navy ordered a court of
inquiry, consisting of Captain c. Watson
and Commanders Kempff and Glass to in
Yestlgate the case. The report of the board
was sent to Secretary Tracy, who, after
reading it, ordered both officers to this city,
so that he could hear in person their YER
sion of the story. After hearing both sides
and taking the record of the court of in
curry, Secretary Tracy did not deem that
the otfense warranted a trial by court
martial, and issued an order restoring
Ensign Schwerin to duty. Lieutenant
Commander Emory thereupon requested
his detachment, which was granted by the
secretary, and Lieutenant-C Commander C.
d. Stockton left on Friday night for San
FRANCISCO to assume command of the ship.

Where the President and Cabinet are Going
to Take Rest.
Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April S.-There is still
some uncertainty about the Presidents
prospective trip to Salt Water.
Mrs. Harrison is anxious that the gen
eral should leave the city for few days,
does not feel that he can leave the city at
the present time, however, and it is not i'm
probable that the trip may be postponed
for some days yet.
Captain Barnett, the chief of the
revenue marine service, says that if his
advice should he asked regarding the trip,
he should oppose it on account of the
bOister0us weather outside at this season of
the year.
At the commencement of the heated
term, the President will send his family to
Deer Park, Maryland, where he has rented
a cottage for the season, and where he can
escape at the close of each week for a
brief respite from official cares.
Vice-President Morton will accompany
his family to Ellerslid to remain until the
autumn, and upon his return to Washing
ton, will occupy his recent purchase, the
Bell mansion, at the junction of Massa-
chusetts avenue and N street, upon which
extensive improvements will shortly be
begun.
The families of most of the members of
the new cabinet will return to their re-
spective homes to remain away until the
opening of the day season at the capital,
with the exception of Mrs. Window, who
has decided to pass the larger part of the
summer at the scene of her husbands du-
ties. With this intention they have taken
a furnished residence within easy walking
distance of the department Mrs. Wanna
maker and family will, most probably,
continue their travels abroad for the
present.

CHICAGO, April S-This evening a resi-
dent of the annexed territory applied to
Judge jameson for writ of injunction re
straining the election commissioners from

ground taken is that the residents of the
annexed strip having no notice Of the cleo
ton were deprived of their electoral
rights, thereby vitiating the whole cleo
ton.
The applicant was armed with recon-
mendation from the master in chancery
that the injunction be issued. Judge Jane

HIS sTEALINGs BEGAN
A Terrible Time.

CHAMBERLAIN, Oak, April During
the terrible gale and fires last week, a train
from the east had terrible experience two
miles east of Mount Vernon. A destructive
fire was raging at that point, and the dust
and smoke made the surroundings as dark
as night. The engineer plunged the train
into the darkness, and the first thing he
knew, he found the ties on fire for nearly
a mile ahead. He checked the train, fear
ing to advance lest he should find no track
ahead, and there in the suffOcating smoke
and heat, with blazing ties underneath the
train and flames on each side of the track,
the crew sought to extinguish the flames
and save the train.
The passengers became excited and
pleaded to be released from death by the
fire or the suffocatiOn that seemed so near
at hand For time, escape seemed i'm
possible, and several passengers gave up.
SEVERAL LADIES PRAYED ALOUD,
and on all faces were pictured the fright
natural to mankind when death appears to
be only few moments hence. The train
crew and passengers worked heroically
Men bent forward gaSping for breath and
felt their way to the tender and found
water to dash on the burning ties,
while others went a few feet
ahead of the engine to see
whether 1t was safe to move
ahead. Behind, the road was on fire as
far as the eye could see, while ahead all
was darkness and mystery But it was
death tO.linger in that cauldron of fire, and
when the surroundings either meant NOV
ing or death, the effort was worth the at
tempt, and start was made The sus-
pense and horror during the few moments
required to pass over the burning track and
through the terrible heat and smoke cannot
be expressed, but the train finally pulled
out of the flames to fresh air and safety.

New York, April An explosion, pre-,
sumably dynamite bomb, which occurred
February in the rear Of Stevenson
brewery. has been found to be the work OF
labor union men. four of whom are in
custody at police headquarters. One OF the
four men Inspector Byrnes has in charge,
made confession and told Of
THE GUILT OF THE OTHER THREE.
The informer is Henry A Fitzgerald,
formerly a walking delegate of the ale and
porter brewery employees protective asso-
citation, who compose local assembly No.

The men implicated, and who are in Gus

' bly, Patrick Close and Thomas ReardoA,
members of the executive comm ttee.
O'Connell was president of the executive
committee and undertook to bring Steven
son to terms. The prisoners constituted
the executive committee at the time OF the
explosion. According to the informer' S
statements, the committee were about TO
invent some scheme whereby Stevenson
could be made to recognize the union ana
discharge the non-uniOn men.
THE PLAN WAS
to send union men to the brewery to apply
for work and state they were not attached
to the union, and the union men who might
secure employment under this dis
guise, were to place grease IN
the beer and ale watts. Several APP
plicants who visited the brewery failed
to get employment. The cOnspirators then
conceived a plan to blow up the brewery
The engine of destruction, it was planned,
should be exploded in the engine room. An
opportunity to reach the engine room was
not afforded the conspirators, and the dyna-
mite was finally used in the area. Detec-
tives who have been on the case learned re

him before the grand jury Friday, where
he repeated his confession and indictments
were found.

Fort DODGE, Ia, April s.-A posse of
twenty-five men will arrive from Des
Moines this evening to assist the United

will be resumed as soon as the rain ceases.
The settlers say that if the coming investi-
CATION sustains the claimant, immediate
possession will be given without any nee

individuals driven to desperation by their
wrongs.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]
WASHINGTON, April S.-There is trouble
in the Pacific coast delegation. 1t arises
from the complication which followed the
endorsement of an Oregon man for the post
of United States marshal for Alaska.
Just after the new administration come
into power, the Oregon Senators succeeded
in getting the entire coast delegation to
unite in recommending Mr.. Orville S.
Porter, of Albany, Oregon, for. the posi-
ton. His application, with his endorse
ments, is now on file in the department of
Justice. 1t was generally thought that he
would get the place, and the fact has been
frequently stated in these dispatches. On
Friday, the California disposers of public
patronage held meeting, and united in a
request to the President for the appointment
of MIR. P. Mahoney, of San Francisco,
to the position, which was wired the ES-
omincr the same night. 1t now occurs that
this was done without the consent of the
full delegation, and was engineered through
after Senator Stanford had left the city.
Senator Mitchell heard the news Sunday
for the first time. To say that he was
furious over such shabby treatment, as
he termed it, is but expressing it mildly.
He now threatens, unless that paper is
withdrawn from the files of the White
House, that he and Senator Dolph will can
eel every recommendation they have made
for the obtaining of any position by Cali
fornia man. The Nevada and Oregon dele
cations united with the Californians in
recommending candidates for federal offices
outside of the state of California, and unless
truce shall have been agreed upon by last
night there will be some lively music in
the vicinity of the White House about noon
to-day.
sThe Oregonians propose calling on Gen
eral Harrison tomorrow morning and ex-
planning the entire situation to him. The
members of the California delegation give
as their excuse for recommending Mr..
Mahoney, that they were unaware that re-
commentator had been made for anyone
else. The records of the department Of
justice, however, do not justify this asser-
ton.
Senator Stanford left on Wednesday for
Massachusetts for weeks stay, after
which he intended to journey by slow stages
to San Francisco. He has been appraised
of the situation by telegraph, and it is not
unlikely that he will return to the city to-
day to see what effect his presence will
have upon the delegation. All of the rest
of the Californians are in the city.

The California Delegation NonpIussed.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. ]
WASHINGTON, April S.-Some days ago
the California delegation announced their
inability to decide whom to recommend for
the office of internal revenue collector at
San Francisco. General Sheehan's en-
dorsements were so numerous and OF so
weighty character that it was hardly pos
sibleto ignore his claims, and yet, when
the papers favoring General Franks ap-
pointment were examined, a like embar-
rassment ensued. The delegation there
upon agreed that the entire matter should
be held in allegiance until they return to
California 1t now appears, however, that
a quiet effort is being made to throw Gen
eral Sheehan over and to recommend Gen
eral Franks appointment 1t is not known
positively that this will be done, but it has
been suggested in certain quarters I'M
friendly to General Sheehan, and the sug-
gestion, it may be said, has met with con-
siderable favor.
