General sherman,s Career.

William Tecumseh Sherman was born at
Lancaster, Ohio, on February s, 1920. He
was called Tecumseh after the great Indian
chief of that name, who had been a warm
friend of Williams father, Judge Sherman.
Young Sherman graduated from the Mill
tary Academy at West Point in the class of
1910. After his graduation he served with
distinction in the Florida War and sabse-
Quel.tly in the war with Mexico. He next
held staff position in the army in CalifoI MIA,
Missouri and Louisiana from 1917 to 1853,
when he resigned Giving up the tent for the
counting room he became a banker in San
Francisco and was in that business for four
years.
He had while in the army studied law.
and thinking this profession more to his
taste he practised 1t for the next two years.

GILLIAN REBELS.
Their Victorious Advance Places the
Government in Desperate Straits.

The Gillian Government troops have been
defeated at Coquimbo and Quillota- The
insurgent forces are rapidly increasing
in numbers, and they are advancing upon
the capital, Santiago de Chilli
Only a few towns remain loyal to the
Government. The destruction of the rail-
ways by the insurgent forces hampers the
movement of the Government troops
President Balmaceda is well supported in
TIE capital and is said to be hopeful of being
at.Ie to repel the rebels.
1t is feared that the effect of the rebellion
will be disastrous to the finances and COM
merce of the country.
During the course of a battle fought at
Tarapaca, AS miles southeast of IIo. the
mines at Tarapaca were set on fire, and after
wards were flooded in an attempt to extin-
guish the flames The German miners who
were employed in the mines there fed into
the interior.
Tarapaca is only ten miles from the mouth
of a river opening into the Pacific Ocean, so
it is inferred that the destruction of prop
erty ct Tarapaca was the work of a landing
party which came ashore from one Of the in
surgent war vessels.

LACED by the insurgent sailors sent ashore to
obtain coal for the rebel vessels C0ronel is

JOHNSTOWN FLOODED,
The City Submerged and Eight
Bridges Swept Away.

A dispatch from Johnstown, Penn, says:
Johnstown is experiencing many of the hor-
rors of the food Of June, 1889. Owing to
continued heavy rains the river began
rising, and by noon had reached an alarm
ing height. From that time on the volume
Of water increased more rapidly, the rive
rising at the rate of one foot an hour.
By night both the COnemaugh and Stony
Greek were running over their banks.
Eight temporary bridges, which were
erected after the food OF May, 1889, were
washed away, with a portion of a new steel
bridge which was in course of erection
The loss to the bridge company who had
this contract in hand will mount to several
thousands of dollars The water flooded the
lower parts of the city.
The Cambria iron works were flooded and
were compelled to shut down. The other
mills have also shut down. Cellars were
flooded, and the merchants were kept busy
moving their goods to higher ground
Communication by wagon with the Penn
sy1vania Railroad and the lower part of the
city was cut off entirely, the only means of
communication being by the Cambria Rail-
road Bridge. Reports received from uD the
country say that the rivers are higher than
at any time since the famous food, 1889. in
which several thousand people lost their
lives.
Owing to the water covering the floors OF
the City Prison the doors were thrown open
and the seven prisoners confined released
The people are still greatly excited over
the report that the log boom will break and
the streets are crowded with excited men
running hither and tt her. A mounted
patrol has been established and every pre-
caution taken to give immediate warning Of
impending danger.

In aShingtOn.

The President had just finished his luncheon
and was walking upstairs to his office wher
the bulletin announcing the death of General
Sherman reached the White House. The tele
graph operator handed the despatch to Pri
vateSecretary Halford, who fastened to in
form the President and met him on the stair
way. The President was very much shocked.
he sent for General Lewis 4. Grant, who i,
acting as Secretary of War, and Ma ior
General Schofeld, and gave instructions Tor
full military honors for the dead soldier
He also prepared a message to Con
gress on the same subject ana

lively session of the Reformed Presbvter-
ian Synod this morning, caused by the
reading of letter by DR.. McAllister. in
which he claimed that he was unfairly

he was informed that the minister under

Rev. Milhgan denied the statement and

case disposed of by resolution rather
than by trial. Il is still under discussion.

WASHINGTON CRY. June 1.--i5mcsl-
The Washington City Star pa de
patch this evening from its special cor
respondent at Raleigh, n. c., in which sh
revolt that has begun in the South ae1inst
Cleveland is described and commentsd
upon at length. The Star is not
Republican paper by any means, and Il
gave President Cleveland loyal support
It's dispatches are therefore absolutely
candid and non-partisan. The Raleigh
correspondent says: ut is an undo
niable fact that the Western tide
Of popular disapproval of Clevelands
attitude on the silver question has reached
the South, and it is discovered to BE- Z
much stronger and altogether mors
resistless current than the casual OBJ
server would have though possible
six months ago. Indeed, it already looks
as though Mr.. Cleveland would have "a
stand aside as far as the presidential nom
ination is concerned, if the Democratic
national convention should meet nexi
month instead of year hence. The 6a
correspondent has noticed the growth d
this anti-Cleveland feeling in Georgia, Ala
bama and South Carolina during the Ian
few months, and now he discovers 1t en-
joying q lively growth as far east 4
here in North Carolina. The leading
Democrats of this state are men who few
months ago were the strongest kind d
Cleveland men, and would not admit
the possibility of the nomination d
any other man for the presidency by IT,
Democrats. Now they express graz
doubts as to the wisdom of such nofnt

piled: Consider the literal meaning OF

is humbug, and theosophy Is Buddhism.
There IS absolutely nothing in theosophy

itual quality. Now, it seems to me

q subject of interest to the hundreds of
thousands who heard the converted Hindu
lady, Pundita Ramabai, lecture in this
country three years ago in behalf OF the
child-widows of India. Said he: "Just be-
fore sailing for America visited Pun
dita's school at Poona, where she has
forty-hve high caste child widows, rang
ing in age from IA to 20 years. l examined
her pupils and / find they are making
satisfactory progress in the rudiments as
well as receiving Christian instruction"
"But, doctor, it is said in this country
that Pundita Ramabai has converted the
money raised here to her own uses"
II cannot believe that; the school is
there, and Pundita is accomplishing a
noble work. She Will conduct the school
for ten years as an experiment. The pupils
are all child widows"

Loss Nearly Million A California
Woman Burned to Death.
NEW YORK, June 2.-Fire destroyed q
four-story brick building in Williamsburg,
occupied by the Brooklyn Cooperage Com
pany, this tuesday, morning. The fire
spread to bagging factory adjoining,
which was also destroyed. The loss is
estimated at nearly million.
PLAcERvILLE. CAL, June Mrs. Colwell,
widow, a resident of Oakland, was burned
to death last night at the residence of her
son, Ralph Colwell, near Lotus. Ralph
Colwell, with his wife, left home in the
afternoon to visit friends near Coloma,
leaving his mother alone at home. Re-
turning about IL o'clock at night, they
found Mrs. Colwell absent from the house
and discovered that the barn had been
burned. Mrs. Colwell's charred remains
were found near where the door of the
barn stood. No satisfactory theory has
yet been advanced as to the cause of the
fire or of the manner of the woman's death.

DIPLOMAT SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Tcheng Xxi Tong, Chinese High-Rol1er,
Will Lose His Head.


PARIS, June L. Advices from Pekin
state that Tcheng XII Tong, formerly act
ing first secretary of the Chinese legation
in London and this city, has been con-
demned to death. It is believed to be the
outcome of his diplomatic actions while
in France.
His life in this city was marked with
many traces of extravaganza. Early in
this year the London Times had dispatch,
coming ostensibly from Ii Hung
Chang, prime minister of China,
authorizing Tong to negotiate for
the Chinese government loan
of 100000. Tong opened negotiations
with English and French banks, but was
suddenly recalled and sailed for China,
to the great sorrow of number of credi-
tors to whom he owed immense sums of
money.
1t was generally believed that he had
taken advantage of his official
position to swindle. But Chinese
law is far-reaching. where subjects of the
empire are concerned. and when Tcheng
Ki Tong was recalled, owing no doubt to
reports of his conduct here reaching the
Chinese authorities, there was no course
open to him but to obey the emperor's
mandate. Had he not done so his family
in China would have been held response
BILE for his acts, and all his relatives would
have been held to strict accountability
for the deeds of their kinsman.
Rather than bring this disaster upon
his relatives, Tcheng XII Tong obeyed his
sovereign's command to return to his ma
tive country. Immediately upon arrival
there he was placed under arrest. His
trial shortly followed, and death is his
penalty for wrong doing.

CHICAGO, June Live hundred fathers
struck today for an increase of 20 per
cent. in wages. All the big contracts in
the city are interrupted.
PIrTsBURG, June 1.-The annual conven-
ton of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers will open here to-
morrow. The wage committee has been
in session for three days preparing a scale
for presentation to the convention, and
from the progress made it is safe to say
there will be no change in the price of max
ing iron from that in force last year. The
committee on the steel scale is also pre-
pairing its report. 1t is generally believed
that the manufacturers will accept the
current rate for the current year without
attempting to reduce it.

ing of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Switchmen's Mutual Association was
