San Francisco, June 5.-The City Of Peking
arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama last
night in fifteen days and two hours from the
latter port, being the best time ever made by
this steamer. She brought 1O2 Chinese pas

Quoted In a desultory manner. The Chinese
troops have suffered several severe repulses
and are unable to make any progress in subju-

troops in north Formosa have lost heavily.
The expedition returned to Tamsui and the
governor, being chagrined at failure of the

A colonel was also beheaded for appropriat-
ing the pay OF the troops. In south Formosa
the whole Bhotan tribe of aborigines has again

POISONED MILK.
Two Queer Cases of Wholesale Poison.
ing From Milk and Cream.

UNION CRY, MICH, June 5.-This town is
greatly excited over the report that sixty
people had been poisoned from drinking m ik
from improperly cleaned cans. At a large
picnic Tuesday the cans containing the milk
had not been properly cleaned and no sooner
was the repast over than the people began to
get sick and soon over sixty of them were rolling
about In agony. Fortunately there we're some
doctors in the party, and they were able to re-
heve the sufferers somewhat. For a time it
was feared that seven of the party would die
from the effects OF the poisoning. All the sick
are now in a fair way to recover.
HIGHLAND. ILL June ST. Jacob. a small
town i've miles west of here. is excited over
what seems to be a wholesale poisoning Sunday.
About seventy persons partook of ice cream
and Monday all of them complained of severe
pains. Although there are no very critical
cases several are suffering severely. DR.. War
ner Schmidt of this city has gone to st. Jacob
to try and get some Of the cream, if possible,

AMERICANS WE'RE CAT's.PAws.
Inside Workings of the Scheme to Seize
Lower California.

SAN Francisco, June 5.-The Chronicle's
special from San Diego says: The investigation
being made into the proposed flibus-
tering expedition against Lower Cali
fornia continues to reveal startling facts,
and a new phase is now put upon the
affair. From the evidence furnished by the
agents OF the Mexican Land and Colonization
Company 1t appears that the president of the
company had In view a plan to annex the
peninsula to the British empire by pur-
SUING the same policy that was followed
by the East India Company when Great
Britain acquired her possessions in Asia.
1t was designed to coloniZe Lower Cali
fornia and secure concessions from the Mex
lean government and then to provoke a
strife and foment discussions. English capital
and interests would then be jeOpardiZed, and
the Intervention of the mother country was to
be invoked. In proof of this the
statement of the agents Of the COM
pany. substantiated by documentary
evidence, has been secured. Maj. Scott,
manager OF the company, assured the flibus-
tiers that twoEnglish men-of-war would be in the
vicinity of Ensenada off the coast when the re-
public was to be declared. As soon as the dec
laration Of independence of the new govern
ment had been proclaimed these war vessels
were to enter the harbor and recognize the new
nation.
Scott also stated that the nucleus of the
armory was already in Lower California, stored
in a ware house Of the English company at
Ensenada- Three cases of rifles were shipped
to Ensenada, billed to the English company,
some time ago. Scott supposed that after the
republic had been established the United
States government would join with the Me1i-
can government in suppressing the invaders,
then Great Britain would be appealed to to
protect the interests Of her subjects,
and would establish a protectorate over
the peninsula. This, up to present de-
~velopments, is as far as Mai Scott in
implicated in the affair. This much may
be proved by the correspondence over his own
signature. 1t all goes to show that Mai. Scott
was only using the American conspirators,
Smith. Merrill, Worthington and others, to give
the plot an appearance of being an American

given a rousing reception at the auditorium

to produce Cinderella next week. The chill
dren, to the number of about one hundred and
fifty. reached the auditorium about 1890 o'clock

n ominate a presidential candidate.

HOPE FOR THE b. AND o.
The State Stock Will be Bought II the
City's Shares Can be Secured.

BALTIMORE, June 5-The Baltimore and Ohio
people in this city are sanguine of an early and
satisfactory settlement OF the contemplated
stock deal. Should the syndicate, represented
by E. r. Bacon, obtain the city's shares Of Bal
tamore and Ohio stock, which the action of the
city council last night, after approval by the
will make nearly certain. there is no
question but that the preferred stock held
by the state will be purchased and exchanged
the Johns Hopkins trustees for the Is. 900
shares Of Baltimore and Ohio in their possess
sion. The completion of these transactions
will result in the accomplishment Of the Balti-
more and Ohio's long-cherished scheme to rid
its board Of directors of city and state direc-
tors and place all matters relative to the man
agement and business affairs OF the road in the
hands Of persons financially interested in its
success.

HIRING AN ASSASSIN.
Mrs. Randolph Wants to Give 81, 800
for the Murder Of MIR. Foltz.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, June 5.-Mrs. Randolph, a
well-known character of New Castle, was ar
rested yesterday, charged with soliciting Sam
uel Kissinger, An ex-convict, to kill VIM. s.
Foltz, president of the First National Bank.
When she first made the proposition to Kis-
singer he pretended to look favorably upon
1t, but Immediately informed Mr.. Foltz OF the
matter. Detectives were detailed to investi-
gate the case, and by an arrangement with
Kissinger they managed to be present, but out
Of sight, when Mrs. Randolph and Kissinger
were having a conference. After having
heard the woman offer Kissinger 81, 500 to kill
Mr.. FOltz the detectives arrested her. She
claims that she was only drawing kissinger
out, to see how far he would go. No reason
why she should want Mr.. Foltz killed can be
imagined, and it is generally believed that the
woman. who is sixty-ive years of age, is a
crank"

MAGAZINE BROKE OPEN AND xucH POWDER
A8sraAcrrn
There is trouble at the Washington barracks
and Sergeant Clishiam, Q trusted non-commis-
stoned ofhcer. is under arrest, charged with ap-
propriating to his own uses q large amount Of
government property. Lieut.. Bennett, who
has been acting as ordnance officer, has been
ordered to Fort Monroe, and in his
absence Capt. Hobbs was placed in charge Of
the government stores at the arsenal. An in
ventory Of course had to be taken before the
transfers could be made and this had not gone
tar when it was discovered that two valuable
prass howltzers were missing.
suspicion at once fell upon Clishiam. who
was acting ordnance sergeant and who was re-
sponsible for the safe keeping OF all such prop
erty. The howitzers were the most valuable
articles in his possession.
IL was his duty to report at once the absence
OF anything in his charge, but he had made no
such report In the case Of the howitzers.
When their loss was discovered Clishiam could
not be found and was away for several days.
About three days ago he returned and
was placed under arrest. charged with
commissioned officer he was not put in the
guard house, but was simply placed
ON bonds. A board of survey was appointed to
md out just how much was missing.
THE MAGAZINE BRoxES IN.
The night after Clishiam's arrest the rear
door of the magazine was broken in and a con-
amount Of powder and fixed
ammunition for small arms was stolen.
The magazine faces on the river
and was out Of sight Of the
guard. 1t is not known Just how the robbery
was committed. Who did the deed is also q
matter OF conjecture, but the officers at the
arsenal suspect that 1t was the work
OF the ordnance sergeant and done to avert
suspicion from himself and give the impression
that it was all the work of some organized band
OF thieves.
THE ROBBERY REPORTED.
This morning Capt. Hobbs reported at police
headquarters the larceny from the arsenal OF
seven barrels Of gunpowder, each containing
100 pounds. 1t is known that more than that
ID missing. but how much more is unknown
and will not be known until the board of survey
shall have completed its work. When that is
done Clishiam will be put on trial at once. He
is not in the guard house now but is still on
bonds. Sergt. Clishiam Is an old soldier
in the service and has always had the
respect and esteem Of his superior
officers. Col. Gibson has preferred to have
him act as ordnance sergeant and has kept him
here, imposing perfect confidence in his integ-
rity. The officers are unable to give any good
reason for his downfall.
Clishiam has a family Twin 9 in this city.
