CHINAMEN CREMATED.
Ten Thousand Lives Reported Lost
in a Big Fire.


in Big Fire.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 1S.-The
steamer City OF Pekin arrived yesterday
from Hong Kong via Yokahoma. The
Shanghai Courier of May 10 contains news
which the latter received from its corre-
spondent at Chung King, to the effect that
Luchow, city of some Importance in
Upper Pangtszee, was reported MS being
nearly destroyed by fire about a month
previous. Seven out of eight gates of
the city are said TO have been
destroyed, and the loss of life in burned
and trampled to death is estimated at
10000. Commenting on this the
Shanghai Courier says: ''In case this
startling news is true, it is re-
markable fact that it mas not reached
Shanghai before now, as it is just a month
since the fire was reported to have oc-
CURED. Still, this is not conclusive
proof that the great disaster has not
happened as a month is not too long a time
for letter to reach Chung King. We met
a gentleman in Shanghai to-day, who was in
Ichang less than month ago, and he in
formed us that the mandarin was a fellow
passenger with him as far as Hankow, aud
told him about the fire, mentioning that
three-fourths Of the people Of Luchow had
been destroyed.

BLAINE's OBJECTIONS.
The Outcome OF the Samoan Confer
ence Still in Doubt.

ence Stin in Doubt.
BERLIN, June 13.-The American com
missioners to the Samoan conference have
received instruct ons from Mr.. Blaine, the
American Secretary Of State, in relation to
the protocol drawn up by the conference.
MIR. Blaine disagrees with several provis-
ions made by the protocol, and also is of the
opinion that England and Germany have not
gone far enough in respect to the rights
conceded to the United States The con-
ference had a sitting to-day TO receive Mr..
Blalnes reply. The English and German
commissioners will afterward consider Mr..
Blaine's objections and decide upon what
policy they shall pursue and upon the atti-
tude which they adopt depends the contin-
uance OF the conference.
Judging from what has passed, and
especially in view of the American delara-
tions, the Samoan commissioners have
probably large amount of work still
before them. lJ is said that the regular
sttings OF the conference will be resumed.
There is material difference of opinion on
the points between the three powers.
LONDON, June 13-The Berlin cores
pondents of the Times, Daily Neios, Morn
ing Post and Standard all agree that sew
eral notifications of the Samoan protocol
which were suggested by the United States
government have been agreed to by the
conference, but minor details which are
still unsettled will necessitate another sit
ting of the conference, which will probably
be held on Saturday next.
NOT ORDERED TO WITHDRAW.
WASHINGTON, June 13-There is the
highest authority for the statement that
there is no foundation whatever for the
story published in New York this after
noon, that Secretary Blaine had ordered
the American commissioners to withdraw
from the Samoan conference unless more
concessions are made. The negotiations at
Berlin, it is said, are proceeding in perfect
harmony.

GERMAN BAPTIsrs.
The Annual Meeting at Harrisonburg
CLOSED.


HARRIsoNBURG, Va, June 1S.-The great
annual German Baptist meeting closed to-
day. Before the regular proceedings the
venerable John Meter of Cerro Gordo, ILL.,,
delivered a powerful and eloquent address,
exhorting the brethren to lead pure lives
and keep themselves unspotted from the
world. The intellect of the speaker was as
bright as in years gone by, when his elo-
quence charmed the ears and his logic con-
WINGED the minds of his hearers. He spoke
both in English and German.
The first business of the regular session
was consideration of the question whether
any but elders and bishops could be en-
ployed In missionary work. There was a
long and heated discussion upon this sub
Ject. and decision was finally postponed
until the next annual meeting.
THE DIVORCE QUESTION.
The divorce question, which, it was
thought, would be the great question of
the meeting, and upon which q special
committee was appointed at the last annual
meeting, was brought up by the following
report of that committee:
We have not had good opportunity to consult
with each other on this subject but we know
that we cannot agree to our own satisfaction,
ana we desire that you defer the question an
other year and appoint another committee
This led to long and spirited debate, and
the matter was finally settled by resolu-
ton authorizing the standing committees
to appoint committees of five to report to
the next meeting.
Resolutions of thanks were adopted to the
various committees, the citizens of Harri-
sonburg, the congregations which had lent
their churches, and the railroads which had
favored the brethren with half fares.
Warrensburg, Mo-, was chosen as the
place of the next annual meeting, and the
first Tuesday after Pentecost as the time.
The meeting then adjourned

charge of attempting to blow up Mrs.

about half drunk, was discovered in the
cellar asleep with big dynamite cartridge
attached to fuse in his hand. The police
