quarter. and two Chinatown watch
men who drew revolvers were swept

men then rushed to Stafford alley,
where the Chez Kong Tong society was
holding dn outdoor festival. intending
to retaliate by smashing the idols. An
other melee ensued, and Ping King

his hat about his head, Slade. who is
seven feet high, shouted dramatically:
''Let her go, Gallagher" Then to his
surprise Lille did jump far out into
the water, and as vision of
crinoline flew past the people
on the lower deck and woman was
seen struggling in the water there was
great excitement. The Cepheus passed

at Greytown is nearly completed, the
actual dredging for the canal ON the
gulf side has begun, the telegraph tine
from Greytown to Lake Nicarag ua,
connecting with the lines ON the
Pacific coast, is completed, and
the railroad from Greytown to the
lake along the line of the canal, is well
under way. At present about 1900 men
and corps of so officers or engineers
are Cd the ground and at work. The
first work, preliminary to work on the
canal proper, was the building of the
great pier at Greytown. extending 1,S00
feet out toward the deep waters. This
is to protect the entrance to the canal,
and work was begun on it early last
January. Seven hundred feet have
been completed. This pier has proved
lucky enterprise. When work was
begun on it the entrance to the harbor
was DISTRACTED by sand bar. The 500
feet of pier already built has so changed
the currents that this obstructing sand
bar has almost entirely worn away by
the action of the water.

Should Be.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 7.-President
Diaz is maturing plan for the reduc-
ton of the army, which it is intended
shall be composed entirely of volun-
teers. His plan is known to only few.
The idea excites universal comment.
1t is believed. as far as can be judged.
that it would have the effect of
eliminating the criminal and otherwise
undesirable elements from the army,
which, 1t is said, will hereafter be prin-
cipally used on the northern and south
ern frontiers and in territory occupied
by Indians. There are very large
number of officers, some of whom have
seen service, who are being supported
on the retired list, and if these
are disbanded it Will cause a
saving to the country of sew
eral millions annually; but such
change would have to be effected grad
ually, so as not to offend the more than
$50 generals and other officers in pro-
portion. If the presidents plan is car
ried into effect it is supposed many of
these officers would find employment in
the national guard and other services
in the different states.

EURoPE's RAGING RIVERS.
Damage Being Done by the Elbe
and Danube.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Elbe is still
sixteen feet above the normal height at
Dresden. but it is gradually falling, and
it is believed the danger is over. The
Freudenau races which were to have
taken place to-day had to be abandoned,
the course being submerged. A slight
subsistence is noticed in the main
branch of the Danube at Vienna to-day.
Similar reports come from Lima, Stein
and Tullu. The Austrian government
has granted s1,000.000 for repairing the
damage done by the floods and assisting
the sufferers.
LONDON, Sept. s.-The Chronicles
Vienna correspondent fays it is esti-
mated that the losses by the floods in
Central Europe will reach $40, 900, 900.
Owing to the damage to the beet crop,
it is likely that the Austrian sugar ex-
ports will be 60 per cent under the
average.

Cohen's ample beard. but were desper-
ately resisted by Cohen and his wife,
who were speedily reinforced by nearly
hundred other Hebrews The leader
of the reinforcement was Jacob Stiff,
neighbor of Cohen's just returned
from ranch in Montana. The cowboy
Hebrew made things lively for the
hoodlums during brief space, but
rashly believed that revolver in the
hands of one of them merely meant
bluff. Attempting to completely van

hospital in dying condition. Four of
the hoodlums, John Foss, Harry Clark,
Frank PETER and Frank Mason, were
arrested, but the identity of the cow

Speculation DIS W " ndC WAY De
Done Next.
/ WASHINGTON, Sept. T. Admiral
Walkers visit to Washington last week
and his conference with Secretary
Tracy has been the source of much
conjecture and speculation in navy cir
Giles. The idea that Admiral Walker
and Rear Admiral Harmony are to sue
coed each other in the respective posi-
tons of commander of the white squad
ron and chairman of the light house
board does not receive much credit at
the department. 1t is generally thought
that Admiral Walkers visit was mere
ly to discuss the future movements of
the vessels now on the Atlantic station.
The white squadron will probobly re-
main on the home station, with Admiral
Walker in command, while Admiral
Gherardi will proceed to the European
station, with the Philadelphia as his
flag ship, accompanied by the Concord
and the Petrol. In such an event the
Baltimore will probably return to the
home station. Vessels are greatly
needed oh the Pacific station, and prob
ably the Alliance would be dispatched
thither from the Asiatic station.

The Spanish mission, and that he would

ment to the tariff bill were passed, was

himself permanently out of public life.
He was engaged in the practice of his
profession. and thought that it was to
his interest not to accept public office.
1t was true that he took an active inter-
est in promoting reciprocity, because he
believed reciprocity with the countries
south of us producing products we did
not raise in large quantities was sim
pie question, and one that could not be
but to the interests of the United States.
At the same time he did not think it
necessary that he should take part in
