EVERY mail from China brings
news of fresh troubles between the
Chinese and foreigners, some of
these resulting in bloodshed, for
which most undoubtedly the Chi
nese government will be held res
ponsible. Still, foreigners are to
some extent accountable for the
growth of this hostile feeling in
China. 1t has been augmented by
the recent anti-Chinese legislation
in the United States, in Australia
and other countries, not to speak
of Hawaii. 1t will result sooner
or later in open war. Even now,
France has made demands on
China, which if not satisfied, will
result in an open attack on some
of her ports. DR.. Happier of Can
ton, father of Mrs. F. W. Damon of
Honolulu, said recently to the Call
interviewer, in San Francisco,
"prior to my departure many
threats had been made by the
natives against foreign residents OF
Canton, the Chinese being parti-
cularly inimical to the mission
aries of all denominations. Angry
mobs pursued US and stoned us
whenever we appeared, and our
lives were in such peril that the
British Consul at Canton sent
down to Hongkong for gunboat,
and thirty foreign customs officials
organized a military company for
the defense of their women and
children. Since my arrival in San
Francisco, I have heard that the
Emperor of China has issued an
edict that the foreign residents
must not be molested.

SUMMARY.


But little matter offers itself for
summary of the last fortnight.
Her Majesty, having completed
her tourin Kauai, where she every
where met with a hearty and loyal
welcome, Notwithstanding the re-
ports to the contrary suddenly in
vented by q seurrilous sheet here
which has again returned to its evil
practice of covering a page with its
mis-statements expressed In the
English tongue, has continued to
carry out her programme, and has
visited that part of Maui omitted in
her former trip and again met with
the same warm greetings from all
classes. natives rs well IS foreign
ers. on her tour TO West and Cen
tral Maui.
In consequence Of his continued
I'll health. and nj his own request,
the Hon. H. A. Widemann has been
succeeded as Minister Of Finance
by the Hon. !. Mott-Smith, al old
resident who happened TO bein the
kingdom on a visit, after an ab-
sence Of : few years.
The honorable gentleman was .
noble Of the kingdom under the old
constitution, is 2 Privy Counselor
Of long standing, was Minister Of
Finance in the reign Of hameh2me-
ha v, 1892. and of the Interior
in the late kings reign, IS76-7S,
and deserves, and has, the conf
denee Of the country, both for his
well-known ability and integrity.
The appointment has given
very general satisfaction, and,
what is much the same
thing, has called forth the
little sneers and gibes of the sheet
which has lately been vilifying the
Queen.
The extreme drought has been
somewhat relieved on this island by
slight showers, amounting alto
gether for the first nine days of
August to only O.43 inch, Many
districts on the other islands are
also suffering from want Of rain.
The vital statistics for the month
Of July show the number of deaths,
60, as being .he highest in the last
five years. OF this number, p IN
der one year must be deemed an
undue proportion. Influenza has
fallen back to Z, while diarrhea
mas claimed 10. Pernaps scarcity
and bad quality of water may have
something to do with this.
The native population show q
death rate of 500 per thousand,
while "all natonalities" stand at
3L39. "Un-attended are Is in
number; probably the Kahunas
could account for most of these
cases.
An English barque has arrived
on her way to the guano deposit on
Laysan Island. She will take be-
tween thirteen hundred and four
teen hundred tons to Hamburg
and, if the report of European
chemists and agriculturalists be
favorable, the result will be
new and lucrative business for
these islands.

in sight in this section. Last fall N. W.
Fla;ssig formed a partnership with Pc
ter Bauman, OF this city, as agent for the
Garden City Billiard Table company, Of
Chicago. As early as last December,
Flaissig made his first move toward
leaving the city, and his creditors, by
attempting during his partners ab-
sence, to dispose OF all the goods for
cash. Mr.. Flaissig's proceeding did
not excite suspicion until early
in Nav. Mr.. Bauman was absent,
ard Elatssig seized the opPortu-
nity to dispose OF the stock and take his
departure. The company got wind of
the trouble. and sent out Mr.. Ludwig,
an agent, who arrived the very day
FlasHg left. An examination showed
that F.cssig had made a clean sweep
OF everything Of value and raised
money on it and borrowed
money on fictitious securities. Since
thattime drafts on himself, ,TanSlnSaIlth the
way to $50 from 500, have been coming
from towns all along his route east, and
aggregating $3.50, the last being from
Helena, Mont. The Garden City Com
pany is out about $4,000. The agent
slys Flaissig left his young wife prac-
tically penniless.
Four ycars ago Flaissig was travelling
for the Brunswick-Balke ColleEder Com

WASHINGTON, June 1.-some corre-
spondence relative to the taking of seals
in Bering Sea has been made public as
result OF its disclosure in London.
The correspondence closed with note
from Secretary Blaine to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, dated April IA last, chang
ing somewhat thesix questionsproposed
to be submitted to arbitration,
SO that in brief they provide for de-
termination OF the old Russian rights in
Bering sea, tho extent OF their recog-
milton by Great Britain, the definition
of the boundaries OF Bering seq, the
extent OF the reversion of the Russian
to the United States, and the right Of
the United States to protect seal and
finally the questions raised by the
United States.
Mr.. Blaine's last missive concludes
with: "In this exigency the President
instruCts me to propose to
Lord Salisbury that he concede
to the North American Company
to take n sufficient number (7,50O) OF
seals and no more than sufficient to
compensate them for their outlay in
taking care OF the natives, and that, in
the phrase OF the Presidential CONNER
cial killing of seals be prohibited pend

THE BERING SEA CASE
Presented by Mr.. William Henry Smith i
Pnr,Inment-Terms of the Concession.

Presented by Mr.. William Henry Smith in
Par,Iament-Terms of the Concession.
LONDON, June 1.-The First Lord OF
the Treasury, Mr.. Vim. Henry Smith, in
the house Of Commons to-day moved
that the Bering Sea bill be read Sec
ond time.
MIR. Smith said the bill dealt with a
question OF urgency and was prompted
by desire that arrangements OF an
amicable character should be made to
settle the dispute. There had been q
delay in submitting the question to Par
lament owing partly to causes which
those who had experience in diplomatic
negotiation would understand and part
lyto the illness ofthe Canadian Premier.
The consent of the Dominion Govern
ment was subject to certain conditions
w.ich appeared to be reasonable, one
beiLg that ships fitted out under the
British flag for lawful fishing in Bering
Sea be compensated for loss during the
period Of prohibition. Under the bill
sealing is prohibited simply within
Boring Sea. The effect will be greatly
diminished catch of seals and great
rise in the price Of skins obtained south
OF Bering Sea.
The prohibition will continue until
1892, within which time it was expected
the arcitrators would make an award.
Compensation would depend upon the
actual loss ship owner sustained.
There was every reason TO hope for the
cooperation OF Canada in making the
necessary regulations. He did not urge
the House to acceptthe bill on theground
ofabsolute right or otabsolutej justice, but
as a friendly act to the friendly power.
He hoped tie course would be accepted
that would lead to a sett ement OF u
question that had given concern to sue
Cesslve governments for lcng time
past. He was sure that in the case oil
the North sea Convention the House
would gladly concur in arrangements
recesFs ry for such purpose. Cheers
Sir William Vernon Harcourt agreed
with Mr.. Smith that serious misun-
derstanding between England and the
United States would be serious calam-
ity. The government would always re-
ceive the support OF the opposition i'll
referring international questions to ar
bitration. The Bering Sea dispute
seemed above all others to be one lend
ing itself to arbitration; therefore he
had nothing to say, except to express
satisfaction ut the course adopted.
Sir James Ferguson, Under Foreign
Secretary, said arbitration would be
concerned not only with the respective
rights Of England, the United States
and Canada in Bering Sea, but also with
measures TO preserve the seals. Over
lures had been made TO Russia for the
fixing OF close time. Although no
answer had as yet been received, it was

CoxsrAxTINoPLE, June LA party OF
brigands near Teherskei yesterday
placed distractions across the railroad
1a.k and succeeded in derailing the
eastern express. When the brigands
had thus brought the train to stand
still they found that there were several
German and English tourists among
the passengers. One of them was a
banker Of Berlin. The brigands have
demanded $4,000 as ransom for the
captives and Chancellor Won Caprivi
has telegraphed to Herr Won Badwith,
the German Ambassador here, author
izing him to advance this amount. Tie
remaining passengers were despoiled ot
their belongings and were left alone.
The place where the act of brigandage
occurred lies between this city and
Adrlanople. The band which made the
attack on the troin numbered thirty
men, led by the noted robber, Anasta-
sius.
The brigands first seized the watch
man on duty at the railroad station,
and when they had prevented him from
giving IN alarm they set to work and
tore up the rails for some distance.
They set no warning signal for the en-
gineer OF the train, but allowed the cars
TO dash on to possible destruction.
When the eastern express reached that
spot the engine tumbled over on its
side, dragging over with it the tender,
baggage car and all the third-class
passenger coaches. The frst-class pas
senger oars, luckily, did not follow
the other part of the train, but re-
mained safely en- the road.
When the train was thus disabled
the brigands rushed forward, uttering
loud yells and bIoudishing their guns
in q most threatening manner, and
boarded the cars. Several of the prs
senge1s resisted the attack made on
them by the brigands, who replied with
volley from their guns and danger
ously wounded one Of .the@mep who
sought orepuIse Them:
The outlaws finally overcame the oc-
cupants of the cars and proceeded to
plunder them, stripping the travellers
Of all their valuables and looting their
baggage. When the brigands ended
their work of robbery they seized four
Of the passengers in the tirst-class cars
and also the engineer of the train and
started with the captives for their rem
devious in the mountains.
The men carried away by the outlaws
were Oscar Gregor, Herr Israel, % banker
of Berlin, Herr Maquel, land owner OF
Siegelsdorf, Bavaria, Herr Oscar Kotysch,
Of Sorbig, Prussian Saxony, and Freu-
diger, the engineer OF the eastern ex-
press. Upon reaching their retreat the
bandits sent Herr Israel to get the ran
som OF $4,000, which they demanded
for the release OF the prisoners. Herr
Won Badowitz claims that the Porte will
refund this money.

known that Russia some time ago
was favorable to such meas
ure. The government assented
with reluctance to the United
States, proposal that 900 seals be taken
this year. This arrangement was a
temporary one for the removal OF the
the source OF difficulty pending arbitra-
ton. The matters to be referred to
arbitration were still the subject Of
correspondence, but the two govern
ments steadily approached points Of
agreement, and he believed that q reply
which was about to be addressed 10 the
United States Government would bring
them SO closely together that harmon
ious reference would soon be obtained.
The bill was then read the second time.

Prince was consulted, and it was on his

signed the undertaking never to touch

Several weeks after the Tranby Croft
incident Lady Brooke and Gordon
Cummings met each other at a country
house. A tiff ensued, when Gordon

pected Of Cheating, much'less detected.
The Prince was deeply ahronted by
Gordon -Cummings' proposal, which

tion, and he replied that he would never

Gordon Cummings apparently in
sane persistence in bringing the case
into court, in view OF the document he

the Prince would do anything rather
than let the public into the Iranby

that the Prince was determined to dare
