ALL OVER THE WORLD AND A PEEP
AT IMPORTANT EVENTS.


Railroad Accident at Ravenna, O.-Great
Britain Refuses to Recognize ChiIian In
surgents-The German Emperor's Jour
ney-Christians Mobbed in China-Para-
graphs.
Mission stations and Christians have
been mobbed in China anil many persons
killed. The government seems power
less to prevent the outrages, even if it
desires to do so. The officials say the
foreigners promise them happiness in
this world and the next if only they will
adopt their religion, but the opium curse
Is due wholly to the action of the for
eigners. The argument is a sharp one
and has its effect with the Chinese.
More than any other country China is
amply able to exist without outside con-
trlbutions, aud more and more it desires
to do so. IT will take many years to
overcome the prejudice now existing in
the Chinese mind against all foreigners.
1t can stop the sale of opium but that
means war with England, for Is was the
guns of England's fleet which first COM
PEELED the trade in China 1t is not for
gotten, and though Americans are inno-
cent of any of the evils, they are classed
with the English and suffer alike. A
large number of the rioters have been
beheaded but apparently it did no good.
Augustin Ross, representative from
Chill to the court of Great Britain, has
made an unsuccessful attempt to-day to
get the courts of Great Britain 20 recog-
nize the Chilian congress as the govern
ment of Chill. Mr., Ross appeared in
court, claiming to represent the govern
ment of Chilli, and prayed for an injunc-
ton to restrain the Messrs. Rotbschilds
and Barring Brothers company from pay
ing over the proceeds arising from the
sale of certain Chilian securities to any
persons but those duly authorized by the
Chllian government to receive such pro-
ceeds. The judge said that if sovereign
power sued in the courts it must sue by
and through the government of the
country.
Mr.. Parnell doesn't seem to be able to
convince the Irish nation that he is COM
petent to once more lead the home rule
movement. A London dispatch says the
action of the Irish bishops Thursday in
reaffirming their declaration that Mr..
Parnell was unfit to be the leader of the
Irish people is considered to be the final
blow to Mr.. Parnell's cause, and the re-
ception which he met with at Carlow
Thursday shows that the people have
ceased to pay any attention to him. At
Myshall Mr.. Parnell addres sed meeting
at which only 80 people were present.
California is evidently not the paradise
some have been led to believe it is. A
dispatch from there says: ss'rhe extreme
ly hot weather in California continues.
Yesterday was the hottest day ever
known in the state. In the interior the
thermometer ranged 120 to 130 degrees
in the shade. The intense heat has
burned up 100000 worth of crops and
fruits. Forest fires are still raging in
Mono and Invo counties and hundreds of
families have lost everything, and are
left destitute"
Roscoe Garland shot Henry D. Watson
in the abdomen in Pittsfield, n. H., Fri
day night about o'clock. Garland was
placed in charge of the Baptist church to
keep anyone from ringing the bell. Wat
son was one of gang who wanted to ex-
ercise boys privilege of making a noise.
There was apparently no special cause
for the use of firearms. The revolver
was 80 caliber and the bullet took
effect in the abdomen, infiicting probably
fatal wound. Pittsfeld is verv much
excited over the matter.
Sing Sing prison was the scene of the
second attempt at electrocution Tuesday
morning. Four murderers, Slocum,
Smiley, Wood, negro, and Jurigo,
japanese. were executed by electricity.
The execution of the four took only an
hour and half. There was no hitch
this time as in Kemmler's case and death
was instantaneous. The only serious OBJ
lection to the law is the muzzle it puts on
the press.
They won't let Prince Bismarck alone
even in his exile from his official posi-
tion. They say that he would have been
deposed by the old Emperor William.
who, it is claimed, would have been COM
PEELED to depose the prince if he persisted
in his headstrong course. The story is
Indignantly denied by the prince and his
secretary. These stories have heretofore
been so untrue that they have never been
noticed before.
Berlin dispatches announce the advent
of a terrible thunder storm accompanied
by cyclone, July 2. 1t caused much
damage in the lower Rhine district. and
on the roads to Viersen and Sttard the
damage was placed at $3.50, 900 and many
people were killed. In the village of
Aurath scarcely house was left stand
ing, and the damage will equal S175,000.
At Ravenna, o.. July 3, frightful ac-
cident occurred on the Erie railroad, in
which 10 persons lost their lives and 3S
were badly hurt. The coach and two
sleepers were burned, adding to the hor-
rors of the time. 1t was due to want on
and some one ought to be
made an example of.
The German emperor and empress
have received royal welcomes at Amster-
dam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Eng
land. The journey TO England probably
