THE CHINESE TROUBLES.

| An Uprisins i'm Western Manchoorfa SuPpressed-VflIage Looted by Ban. dits-Imperial Troops Guarding the Great Wall.
 LONDON, Dec. 2.-A dispatch from the British consul at New Chwang, treaty port is the province of Laow-Tong, Man. chooria, states that rumors were recently current that the people in the country 15O miles to the westward had revolted against the authorities. The rising is now reported to have been suppressed. No Europeans were in danger. ..
 The dispatch further says 8 Presby- terian minister from Kin Chow reports that 200 bandits recently footed village in LeaowTong. The minister says such an occurrence is nothing unusual in the winter. The people as a whole throughout the province are friendly to the native Christians and Europeans.
 Advices received by the government as to the strength of the insurgents in the field, place the total number at only 1 ,500. It would be foolhardy for such a small body of men to attempt the capture of the capital. To judge from the activity in military circles, however, imperial author ities do not place implicit confidence in the reports reaching them and are prepar- ing to deal with a much larger force than is said to be heading toward the capital. There are now 5000 imperial troops guarding the places along the great wall where it is expected the rebels will attempt to force passage.
 The advices received by the government further state that the movement, instead of being concerted rising to depose the emperor, is merely an attempt to wresk private vengeance. According to these advices the wife of the leader of an armed band of marauders was abducted from her husband. The latter, with his followers started in pursuit. and as he swept through the country he instructed his men to make reprisals for the loss of his life upon the innocent inhabitants.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-It is stated at the Chinese legation that no dispatch has been received there stating that a preliminary skirmish had recently taken place ''at the port of Shanghai between two Italian gun. boats and the Chinese navy, and the two former were sunk in deep water" The minister said that he believed the story to be without foundation.
 LONDON, Dec. 2.-A correspondent at Tien Tsin telegraphs: Ii Hung has in formed me through the British consul that he has no doubt that the rising in Mongolia is mar auding expedition. prompted only by greed of plunder, and that there is no reason to regard it as revolution. All is quiet here and in Pekin. The American gunboat Palos arrived here to-day The port is about to close for the winter.

LAKE MICHIGAN FALLING.
The Waters or the Great Inland Sc,
 Slowly Recedin1

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-For the past five years Lake Michigan has been slowly fall ing, until now the old water line is high and dry and covered with weeds. Many reasons have been advanced for the retreat of this great body of water, but nobody
 paid any attention to them. To-day, how ever, the man out at the crib where all the water used in the city is drawn by the big pumps on Pine street, wildly telephoned that the pipes were out of water and that it was impossible to give the city its sup ply. A strong off-shore wind was blow ing, and this doubtless caused the trouble, although it is the opinion of the men who have watched the strange drop in the lake that if the water continues to recede the pipes will have to be lowered several feet

FIVE PERSONS BURNED. Unable to Escape From 8 Burning
 Building in Detroit.

DETROIT, Dec. 2.-The Free Press prints the following account of a fatal fire this morning: "The most appalling catastro- phe that has visited Detroit since the burning of the Tilden school two years ago took place at about 3 o'clock this morning. Fire broke out in the grocery store of George J. Refs, at 332 Orleans street, and, communicating to the dwell ing house overhead, smothered to death Charles Refs, aged twenty-two years, and his brothers Joseph and Edward, aged eleven and seven years respectively. The two latter children were found in their bed, and the older boy was discovered by the fremen lying upon the floor before 8 window, as if he had realized the danger and had attempted to make his escape.
 "The father and mother were found locked in each others arms at the foot of the stairs leading out into the yard. They were burned to crisp in endeavoring to reach the open air. If they had gone down by the front way they would un- doubtedly have been saved. As it was, they rushed into fiery furnace, for the fire did most damage where their bodies were found. Two other children, Max, aged fifteen, and Tony, aged twelve, and a hired girl whose name could not be ascer- tained, escaped by jumping out of the windows into the arms of the police and firemen."
