The Chinese Riots Were OF I'm

LONDON, Nov. 3O.-The Chronicles
correspondent at Tien Tam says: "Of-
fetal reports of the Takow massacre
contain details almost without par
allel, even in the the history of
China. Previous dispatches have given
but faint idea of what happened. The
members of the little Belgian mission
had no opportunity of escaping. The
slaughter commenced with the killing
of native converts, many of whom were
put to death with fendish cruelty.
Children Of tender years were seized
by the savageS. hacked with knives
and roasted at huge fire.
A worse fate still befell the nuns. who

is increasingly serious. The rebel

imperial troops have not yet got into

ments of troops have been ordered
forward. The rebels in their south
ward march occupied towns without re-
sistance being made by the populace.
At all the places through which they
passed the rebels made acquisitions

Commodore Melville Calls Atten-

Commodore Melville Calls Atten-
ton to n Grave Danger.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. -Commodore
Melville, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering, has submitted his annual
report to the secretary of the navy.
After detailing the work accom-
plished during the past fiscal
year, and the condition of the machinery
of the vessels of the navy, the report
touches upon the needs of the various
navy yards. By far the most important
feature Of the report is Commodore
Melvllle's statement touching upon the
personnel of the engineer CORDS. He
says: cit is with regret that l am
again compelled to report that the
number of engineer officers is INSULT
clent for the proper performance of the
duties belonging to them, and to en-
phaSIze the fact that unless measures
are at once taken TO remedy this con-
dltlon and 10 stop the steady de-
crease i'll numbers, we shall before
long have painful awakening by
a serious breakdown OF accident
on some of our vessels. There is limit
to even naval engineers endurance,
and while the officers of the engineers
corps will do their best to make all
needful repairs and keep in efficient
condition the magnificent machinery
of the new vessels, from which
the country justly expects so
much, and in which it takes a
proper pride. they can 90 no further
than the limit of their physical strength;
when this has been reached the ma
chinery must take care of itself" Com
modore Melville says that the number
of engineer officers should be at least
500. and even this number will he in
adequate unless supplemented by a
sufficient number of intelligent and
skilled artificers and well-trained fire
men.

BEALs WON'T PROSECUTE.
He Says His Honor Was Pledged
Not to Do So.

Not to Do So.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 29.-Public ex-
element over the Beals kidnapping case
has subsidized to very great extent,
principally because of the public an
nouncement that Mr.. Beals will not
prosecute the abductors. MIR. Beals
claims that his honor is involved be-
cause he gave his word that he would
ask no que stiOns If his child were only
returned. The police say that
the promise related only to the
person who returned the child, and
ought not to allow him to refrain from
doing all in his power to convict Mr..
and Mrs. King, now under arrest for
the crime. Despite the decline of pub
lie interest in the case, nevertheless
the prisoners are still kept at Independ-
ent out of the way of possible attempt
at lynching. The man that returned
the child to his home and got the re-
ward. is still being searched for by the
police. No trace of him has been
found and the police believe he has sue
ceeded in getting out of town.
Prosecuting Attorney Marcy Is.
Brown, in an interview tonight, stated
that Mr.. Beals had nothing whatever to
do with the prosecution of the prisoners
further than that he might be called
upon to testify at the trial. If he de-
clined to testify. then he might be i'm
prisOned for contempt or arrested as an
accOmplice after the fact in assisting IN
the escape of the man to whom the ran
some was paid.

met two men on horseback, who proved
to be Luther Matthews and his
brother John. They were commanded
to halt, but instead put their horses
into run. The second party was met
oy the two men, and, in the collision
that ensued. Justice Perry was knocked
from his horse and badly hurt. County
Clerk Ely, RoSeburg and Hill Saunders
composed the third, and, hearing the
firing, started their horses on run to
assist in making the arrest. They met
and also collided with the Mat

STRIKERS TAKE A NINE.
Affairs Becoming Serious Among
French Miners

PARIS, Nov. 29.-The excitement
among the coal miners of the Pas-de-
Calais, in the extreme northwestern
part of France, is spreading. by
sympathy to the rich coal fields
of Loier, in the southeast.
The miners of st. Etienne and vicinity
have been greatly disturbed for several
days. Today 500 of them assembled in
the town of Rive de Gier, about twelve
miles from st. Etienne. Several of
their leaders made violent speeches
of an extremely sarcastic char
acter. The miners then formed
in parade and marched through
the streets of the town, singing the
Marseillaise, and swinging cap of lib
erty on the head of pole. The popu-
lace acclaimed the procession and, fol-
lowed by numerous rabbte, the min
ers proceeded to the Agurau de
Mine, one of the important mines in
the vicinity. They took possession
of the mine, declaring that its
name thenceforth should be the Caesar
BerthOlet, and they announced they
would resist to the death any attempt to
drive them away. The local authorities,
feeling unable to cope with the stua-
ton, have asked for directions from
Paris.

ton of the business part of tins place is
in ashes tonight from disastrous fire
which broke out on Front street at II
o'clock this morning. The confederation
broke Outsuddenly in the Hughes build
ing on Front street. The wind was
blowing a strong gale from the south
east at the time, and the flames
spread rapidly, taking the wooden
buildings along Front street in quick
succession. With the poor facilities
at hand IN the way of water and fire
apparatus, nothing of any account
could be done in the way OF getting the
fire under control, and the attention of
the people was turned towards

very short time, with the exception. Of

at Z o'clock this evening, was under
control, although the wind still con-
tinues to blow. In most cases the
Stocks in Stores

ing to burn, owned by r. E. Hughes,
and occupied as a general store and
dwelling, went down with its entiLe
contents, as also the building occupied
by ID. Stafford as a hardware store.
The loss cannot at present be esti-
mated, but it will reach into the hun

Company, for the failure to cure
said man of drunkenness and for
damage to his health for taking the gold

ing habit. This Monroe admitted. He
afterward returned to drinking, excus-
ing the fact with the statement
that during, sickness the physician
prescribed liquor for him and the
habit became again fixed on him. He
left Dwight, so far as the doctor knows,
for no other reason than that he had
become so dissipated that he could find
no employment. If the matter ever
should come to trial, which the doctor
is satisfied it will not, he is prepared to

BLAINE IS A WE'LL MAN.
At Least This Is the Report of a
Philadelphia Physician.


Philadelphia Physician.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The Press
tomorrow will publish the following:
TO consult his medical adviser was the
prime reason of Mr.. Blaine's trip
to Philadelphia. Mr.. Blaine learned
that he was in better health
and strength now than he was four
years ago, and that six months OF year
hence he would be stronger than he Is
now. He learned further that he is as
good a man. physically at sixty-one
years, Mr.. Blaine'S age, as any body else
of like age.
Mr.. Blaine is well man." This is
what DR.. Madison Taylor, the physician
to the secretary, said yesterday in an
interview: DR.. Taylor thoroughly ex-
amined Mr.. Blaine during the latter's
visit to this city, and he had been asked
to make this statement to put q
stop to the many reports to
the contrary. ''Mr. Blaine is in
better condition, great deal better con-
ditiOn than six months or year ago."
added DR.. Taylor, ''and, SO far as | can
definitely say from careful ObServa-
ton of his condition and what has been
told me OF what it was before l began
to attend him, Mr.. Blaine enjoys better
health than he did three or four years
ago. Six months hence he will be even
better than he is now.
MIR. Blaine is well man. For his
years. he is sturdy. When | began to
attend Mr.. Blaine last spring he was
suffering from an acute illness. He was
in very bad condition and completely
broken down by OverwOrk. | did not
know what the outcome would be.
Now there is no doubt in my mind,
for Mr.. Blaine's health is excellent
He is back TO his normal weight. He
has good appetite and leeps well.
Mr.. Blaine has got we'll by the exercise
of common sense, not medicines. At
Bar HarbOr he went out riding so far
per day, walked certain distance and
played handball a fixed lenght of time.
In short, he conscientiously OBJ
served my advice in the matter of
exercises, and now we are very much
gratified. Before his illness MIR. Blaine
was not man who would take much
exercise. Now he is the opposite. He
has grown to like it. Mr.. Blaine wrote
me a couple Of weeks before his visit
here that he walked about two miles
every day. Very often, he says, he
walks a mile at stretch.
''If Mr.. Blaine continues to take care
of himself, as he is now doing, see no
reason why he should not live many
years longer. He has entered upon the
ripe age, being siXty-one years old, and
he takes pleasure in his present
strength. When | examined him he
pulled up his right arm and felt his
muscles. They were good and
large. 1t is very gratifying to
state that his limbs and his
arms are more muscular and larger
than they have been for years. When
l said he will be even in better health
in six months from now, stated as a
reason that person, say one who has
been i'll with typhoid fever, will not re-
cover all his former strength immedi-
ately upon recovery. He will have a
heavy feeling in his limbs, etc. This
will gradually work off day by day I'M
til he finds himself sturdy, quick and
full of bright health"

would prove that the senate lacked two

PROBABLY ALL DROWNED.
The Tahiti Lost With Nearly 800
on Board.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga dis
patch from Manzanillo, Mexico, says
the American steamer Roseville has ar
rived there and reports passing
wreck-that of the brig Tahiti-at sea.
She was floating bottom up. and the
captain of the ROseville says she must
have been capsiZed. The rigging had
been cut away on the port side. appar-
emily to prevent this. The Tahiti Gre
ated sensation Sept. 20 last by putting
into Brakes bay near this city in
distress. She had 270 Gilbert island
ers OH board under contract for work
in Mexico at starvation wages. These
men were, practically slaves. and there
was mucl! talk of Selling the vessel.
Collector Phelps, however. decided lie
had no rightly to detaIn her. and the
brig left. 1t seems almost certain that
all on board have been lost, as the
ships boats were still with her, and
nothing has been heard of any of the
survivors. The wreck must have hap
peued at least month ago. Besides
the islanders, the vessel had officers
and a crew of twenty men, making a
total of 291 on board the Inflated craft.
