tions Are Under Way in China.
MINNEAPOLIS, September 21st.-In an
interview Bishop Fowler, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, speaking of his predic-
ton in the reported interview from Chi
cago that the Chinese Government was pre-
pairing for calling to account of this nation
for breaking the treaty with the Chinese
Government, says:
II did not say we would have war with
China in ten years. The substance of what
l said was this: When any country goes
back on its own paper such action is dss-
tardly. When this country allows man
to go back TO his own country with the as.
surance that he can return, and then passes
law in his absence preventing his return,
it is not right and as to war, l do not say
that there will be war. know not what the
future holds, but let me tell you this: The
most extensive military preparations are
now under way in China. The Chinese
move slowly and Prince Ii, the Viceroy,
says that in ten years he will have matters
where he wants them and then, well, then
| know what will come; but the Chinese
are great people, of great courage.

Attorney Forest Creates a Great Sensa-
tion In Court.
CHICAGO, September 2lst.-Quite an ex-
citing scene occurred in the Cronin murder
trial this afternoon when attorney Forest,
in making an objection to question asked
candidate for juryman, said "In this
case we don't even concede that DR..
Cronin was murdered"
The Judge, attorneys for the State and
spectators appeared as if they were knocked
silly To say that Forests statement Gre
ated a sensation would be drawing the
matter very mild.
The end of the third week of the trial
shows that only four jurymen have been
selected and 495 jurors have been excused
by the Court. Sixty-fve peremptory chal-
leDged have been used by the defense and
forty by the State. The trial will be
resumed at l P. NJ. Monday.
Just at adjournment this evening
Kupzes attorney made demand that the
States attorney show what evidence they
had against KuDze 1t was thought that the
defense had abandoned the effort to force
the State to show its hand, but this proves
different. After hearing the arguments,
the Judge reserved his decision until next

A Board of Supervisors Who Are Look
ing Out for Their Pockets.
SAN DIEGO, September 2fst.-0ver four
years ago the Board of Supervisors gave a
contract to J. P. Mccormack to build two
wings to the old Courthouse. Six months
ago it was apparently discovered that the
old building was not strong enough tostand
the strain put upon its foundations by the
design of the completed structure. The
Board then authorized Mccormick to tear
down the Courthouse and rebuild from
the ground. Great excitement was caused
to-day by published charge that the
change is not necessary and was made by
collusion with the Board, whose members
got contracts for trimming, terra Gotta pipe
and room rent for county officers. 1t is
brick to be used as building material. The
Grand Jury is said to be investigating the
matter. About 100000 is involved.

STORMS IN MEXICO.
A Cyclone Causes a Great Destruction
of Property.


ST.. LOUIS, September 21st. = Adyices
from different parts of Mexico say that very
heavy storms have been sweeping over
that country since August 10th, visiting
different States at different times. The
latest prevailed along the Pacific coast, and
reports from Mazatlan and Manzanilla are
that the steamers Porfro Disz and Alata
have probably been wrecked. After five
days steady rain IN the State Of Vera Cruz
cyclone passed over the town of Chicin-
tepec, causing great destruction and terror.
A great landslide occurred on mountain
back of the town, part of which passed di-
rectly through the town, cutting great
swath through buildings and carrying away
everything in its path. A torrent of water
then passed down the gully made by the
blizzard and flooded that part of the place
not already destroyed. There was no loss
of life, however, as the people had warn
ing and sufficient time TO escape, but the
destruction in crops and the loss of cattle is
very great.

PECULIAR WILL.

Who Obtain Divorces.
SAN Francisco, September 21st.-The
will of Mrs. Margaretha Paulhaber, who
died recently, gave to her four daughters
the income of one-fourth of her estate
while they lived with their husbands, but
provided that if divorced each should re-
ceive one-fifth of the estate. Soon after
the death of the mother one of the
daughters obtained a divorce, and then
began proceedings for one-fifth of the
estate. The other three sisters successfully
defended the action in the Superior Court
which held in effect, that the mother had
made will to induce her daughters to
separate from their husbands, which was
against good morals and the policy of the
Jaw. An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court, which tribunal has reversed the de-
cision of the Court below, holding that the
mother had right TO consider that legal
separation could not be bad without
reason, which was neither contrary to
good morals nor the policy of the law.

ing of the Council Chamber, which was
densely packed with spectators. He was
apparently unmoved by the proceedings,
but during recital by Hon. A. NJ. Cannon,
the Chairman of the Relief Committee, OF
Waters untiring efforts as an officer in the
militia while the city was under martial
law, the prisoner buried his face in his
handkerchief and wept like a child.
Four witnesses were examined, includ-
ing an expressmsn who hauled large
quantity OF goods to Waters house, and
testified that Waters told him not to let
any person see where the goods were de-
livered.
This was the most damaging feature of
the testimony, although large number of
witnesses are yet to be examined. The
case was adjourned till Monday. Waters
is on the streets tonight, claiming to have
been vipdicated, but the attorneys for the
prosecution state they are thoroughly salts
fed with to-day's testimony, which is only

KANSAS CRY, September 21st-A special
from Oklahoma City, Indian Territory, to
the Times, says: To-day was one of the
most exciting days in the history of the
city. About six weeks ago faction of
citizens, after failing to induce the Council
to call convention for the purpose of
framing an amended charter, framed one
themselves, and called an election for the
people to vote on it. AS it provided for
the immediate ousting of the present city
government, the United States troops,
under the authority of General Merritt,
prevented the election.
Two or three weeks ago charter pre-
pared by committee authorized by the
Council was voted down. The original
charter faction then called an election on
their charter for to-day, again without the
consent of the Mayor and Council.
General Merritt again sent orders to Col
onel Snyder TO prevent the election, and
this morning Captain Stiles, in command
Of the troops here, carried out the COM
mand at the point of the bayonet.
The polls were opened early in the morn
ing, and large crowd assembled. A num-
Der of persons endeavored to vote, when
Captain Stiles threw his company across
the street and gave command to charge.
The company encountered no opposition to
their progress.
The leaders of the charter faction then
rushed to another place and declared the
polls open.
Again Captain Stiles repeated the charge,
and again cleared the street.
r. Glasgow then mounted box, called
crowd around him, and advised them to
disperse Continuing he cepsured the in
reference by the military, when Captain
Stiles charged the crowd for the third
time and brought the speech to an abrupt
termination. The Second Ward polls were
then declared open in another part oi
of the city. Captain Stiles proceeded
to the new voting places. The leaders OF
the charter faction. after consulting with
Captain Stiles, advised the crowd to.dis.
perse. The advice was followed and the
excitement subsided.
Nine of the leaders were afterwards ar.
rested on charge of conspiring against the
authority of the United States and the city
government.
