cause two of the rioters were executed at
Wusch, therefore the matter SO far as that
town Is concerned is to be regarded as
closed. So far from this being the case the
British government has, through the British
consul at Hankow, categorically demanded
that the whole case as regards WuSch shall
be reopened, that an investigation into the
cause and course of the riot there shall be
held, at which British officers shall be pres
ent, and that all those found to be impli-
Gated. especially in personal attacks,
on foreign ladies and children shall receive
severe punishment. At the same it has
been intimated to the Chinese government
that while the victims of these riots must
receive adequate compensation, this IN
demnity cannot be allowed to alter or di-
mlnish the responsibility of the Chinese
imperial government or of its local
authorities for the due punishment
OF those found TO be concerned in
the riots. In the meantime the British
war vessel in the Yangtze TO the presence
of which the Chinese have particularly OBJ
lected will remain until the whole subject of
the riots has been dealt with in q manner
satisfactory 10 her maJesty's government.
This stiff communication has been followed
already by an important consequence.
The viceroy of the province in which
Wusuch is situated has already set about
an investigation on the spot, and some of
the foreign fucitives from the town are be-
ing taken back from Shanghai To
give evidence. From other sources
it is learned that the foreign officers
of Europe are thoroughly aroused. and
intend to make all ffoI't to put stop once
for all to these recurring mob outrages on
Europeans and 10 teach the central GOV
eminent in Pekin, as well as local officials,

England and Russia

Finding that the English government is
eagerly disposed to make the position of the
Dardanelles matter a weapon of offense,
Russia has suddenly changed her diplo-
matte tactics. NJ. Nederof, Russian
ambassador at Constantinople, has inform
ally advised Sir William White, the Eng
lish ambassador to Turkey, that the alleged
occupation of Sigri, on the island of Nifty
lene by British force, does not in any way
concern Russia. and Count Won
Schouvaloff, Russian ambassador at
Berlin, nas explained to Chancellor
Won Caprlvi that Russia disclaims any
special privilege in the passage of the Oar
danelles. A remark, inspired. which ap-
peared in the ST. Petersburg Novesti yes
terday and which was telegraphed here
through a semi-of1icial agency, offers the
hand Of friendship to Great Britain.
1.-The empire of Russia" says the Novesti,
sis already too extensive for her to desire
to add to it by the conquest of India. If
she is forced to undertake the enterprise at
some future day, it could only be an act of
retaliation for the hostility shown by
Great Britain to the cars government in
Europe. On the other hand, should Great
Britain renounce her anti-Russian
policy she would have nothing to fear

THE RAlN-MAKERS.
Not So Hopeful of SUCCESSIVE Rain Yet,

None VIII FAN Soon.
Special 70 the Gazette.


Ell PAso, Sept. ia thorough test of
the theory Of rain making was made all day
yesterday, but the prospect for success
looks very slim. The day was clearing
of day, consequently bad day for expert
menting. Some idea of the extent Of the
shaking up the atmosphere received can Dc
reached when it is stated that in the ten
balloons exploded there was 200 feet Of
oxyhydrogen, equal TO 5000 pounds of dy-
Mantle. In addition TO this there
were exploded leo twenty -one-poGnd
bombs, thrown into the air by means
of mortars, aud half ton of dynamite and
rack-a-rock were exploded on the ground.
The explosions were viewed with
great interest. There still re-
main few hours in which rain
may fall, but the experimenters are not
hopeful of success. They state that the
readings of the barometer were for eI-
tremely dry weather, and his state
ment is Touched for by n. S.
Lane of the Weather bureau a: this station.
They further state that il shower is had

concludes by urging Salisbury's govern

it could be done under more favorable cir
cumstauces perhaps than it could at any

BERLIN, Sept. 19.-The army maneuvers
which have been in progress for some days
were concluded to-day with an attack of the
Fourth and Eleventh army corps, COM
manded by Emperor William in person,
upon the enemy under Gen. Witch. The
emperor left Mulhausen yesterday morning
and proceeded to Voikemoda, where he as
sumed command of the Eleventh army corps
The Fourth corps, quitting their bivouac at
a. m, joined the Eleventh, and the united
force, marching in three columns advanced
toward Schlotheim. The operations ended
with the repulse of Gen Wittich's COM
mand and its retreat upon Langensalzea.
Later the emperor started for Wilhelms-
hohe.
Military experts are reviewing the recent
series of army maneuvers by Aus
trian. Bavarian and Prussian troops,
and all concur in the opinion that
grave defects were exhibited by the Aus
trian troops, owing to the absence of gen.
erals capable of directing their move
ments without laundering. Emperor Will
liam is reported as having told Emperor
Francis Joseph that his men and officers
We're tit to meet any enemy that might be
brought against them. but that his officers
were wanting IN self-reliance, asserted with
consciousness of their ability to ham
die their men. The Bavarian and
PruSsian maneuverS disclosed less
serious defects. The generals in these
armies displayed great efficiency and readi-
ness to take the initiative, but the colonies
commanding the various regiments acted
too much like machines, adhering strictly
to the letter of their orders. Last even
ing the emperor grouped the officers
of his army in the field near Schlothem
and made brief speech to them. In the
course OF it he advised that less rigid sys-
TEN be followed in marching and
that freer methods be adopted in
drilling in order to add elasticity to the
movements of the troops. At the same
time and in spite of his criticisms his mai
esty complimented the troops upon their
general efficiency. High military authorl-
ties are agreed that the Austrian and Ger
man armies are now fully ready to meet an
enemy.

Bismarck's Memoirs.

In letter to an English friend tod V
DR.. Geffcken expressed certain feeling OF
annoyance at the circumstantial statements
which have been made to the effect that he
was about to assist Prince Bismarck in
writing his memoirs The idea was started
some time ago by Blowitz in one of his let
tiers from Paris to the London Times, and
since then it has been repeated as a definite
announcement in a number of continental
and English papers. DIR. Geffcken seems
to treat the report is a sort of BallOu-Des-

While reserving its decision as to the riot
in other parts of the Yangtze valley and the
degree of responsibility resting on the
chinese government for them, England has

Arrangements for FIorencs's Funeral
ss- "Reminiscences of His Life.
New Y DIRK, Nov. 21.-The body OF
william J. Florence lies at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where the comedian had
made his home for the past thirty years.
1t will remain here until Monday at II
o'clock, when the funeral will take
place from st. Agnes Church. The in
terment will be in the family vault at
Greenwood Mrs Florence is now on
her way home, having sailed on the
Aurania.
There is no end now Of stories about
Mr.. Florence, and the prauks he played.
Florence, Ned Sothern, Nelse Seymour
and Dan Bryant were a quartette who
made fun wherever they went.
At one time Florence and Sothern
were both playing in st. Louis-Flor-
ence in "The Mighty Dollar and Soth-
ern in either "DundreAryn or "Brother
Sam" In the midst Of one of Florence S
best scenes who should appear on the
stage but Sothern, vino had taken ad-
vantage Of half hour off in his own
play to make public visit to his friend
The next night Florence called upon
Sothern in the same way, and both au-
diences saw a double performance much
to their delight At another time,
when Florence knew that Sothern was
to be in St. Louis, he advertised for
1000 bulldogs to be left at Duudreary' s
door.
Florence used to say the first practi-
cal joke that was ever played on him
was the means Of getting him out of a
scrape, and he felt kindly toward that
form of wit ever since
1t was when he was a lad, playing
minor comedy parts in Broadway thea
tre at $40 a week He thought he was
mRdly in love with young actress at
work for the same stipend. During the
play one night he invited her to take
some oysters after the performance.
Then he rushed to his lodgings, changed
his clothes, met her and took her to an
oyster house.
His bill there was $1,90, but unfortu-
nately he found he had left his money
in his other clothes The waiter and
the proprietor both said his story was
too diaphanous, and made him give up
his watch and his fathers ring that he
wore, just then a whitehaired, benevo-
lent-looking old gentleman came out Of
one Of the private dining compartments
they used to have in those days aud

You ought to be ashamed, sir Any one

never set foot in your place again"
Out in the street Florence was over

"Give me your address, sir" said he
to the kindly old gentleman. 81 will
return you the money tomorrow.

Didn't Pay the Rent.

A teacher in one Of the Sundny schools
of town tells a laughable experience he had
recently. He had charge of lot of boys
one day, and was trying to ma 20 them un-
derstand that all good comes from one
source. As an illustration he told them
of building house, putting water pipes in
with spigots in all the rooms, these pipes
not being connected with the main in the
street He said to them
"Suppose turn on II spigot and no water
cDmes, what is the ma'ter2'
He naturally supposed that some of the
boys would answer that the water was not
turned on at the main.
But they didn't.
On the contrary, one boy at the foot of
the class, called out in voice which showed
that he thought that be was right:
you didn't have your water rent paid. +"
