TAKE TOO MUCH TIN PLATE.

Manufacturers Will Hardly Roof Worlds
Fair Buildings Free of Charge.
The first number of the american TIN Plat
Reviep, with George E. Kepple, well known
in industrial circles, as editor and manager,
appears to-day. Among other information
it contains, is the following:
report was sent out from Harrisburg
this week to the effect that the tin plate
manufacturers would probably cover the
Pennsylvania buildings at the Worlds Fair
with American tin free of cost. There is
little, if any, likelihood of such q proposition
being made. Considering that it would re-
quire 10000 boxes, the manufacturers, who
have just completed their plants at enor-
nous outlays of capital, could scarcely be
expected to do such a thing. Secretary
Benney, of P. H. Lauiman & Co., said yester-
day: 81 feel very certain there is no truth
in the report. Our firm made proposition
to furnish all the material necessary to
cover those buildings at n fixed price, but
can scarcely see how the manufacturers
could make proposition to do the work
meyer, of the United States Iron and Tin
Plate Manufacturing Company, was asked
about it. he replied: 1 know nothing what
ever OF the matter"

best safeguard will probably prove to be q
contrivance of his own-a bag like an exag-
gerated canteen filled with concentrated
ammonia, with 80 inches of rubber hose and
a nozzle attached. If the gorillas try to
form a combination and surround him he
will shoot some of the ammonia at them
and make them respect the peaceful scien-
tist.
The fumes from the ammonia will strangle
any number of gorillas, rendering them
temporarily helpless and half-conscious.
Whoever has gone foolishly near to q
woman's smelling salts may multiply the
effect on his nose bv 1000 and get a faint
idea as to what Mr.. Garner has in store for
these gorillas if they act badly. While the
gorillas are recovering from their half
strangled condition and talking about it,

ago, while making his campaign for Con-

Chase met young in Owen county, Ind,
Harrison by name., to whom he took q
fancy.
"When you get married want to per-
form the CEREMONY" said Mr.. Chase.
'T will hold you to that PROMISE" said
the young man, and he did. Last week
Governor Chase received letter from the
young man telling him that the day for the
wedding had been fixed and asking him to
keep his promise. Mr.. Chase decided that
because he had succeeded to the Governor
ship of Indiana was no reason why he
should break the promise, and tonight he
went over to Taylorsville to tie the knot.

and France, has been made Taotati. This
young fellow was conspicuous in posting
up anv foreign placards and in foment1ng
riot and the destruction of mission property
at Wusich. This honor given to him shows
the real feeling of the Government in the
present crisis.
There is nothing to record in regard to
the situation of American missionaries In
China Large numbers have come In to
Shanghai and the river ports where there
are foreign men of war There is gen.
eral complaint that too few war yes
sells have been ordered to the Yang-Tse
river, and that should concerted rising
take place all along the river, many for
eigners would lose their lives. The native
troops sent up from Shanghai are worse
than useless, as most of them are merely
coolies. Some are armed with old anti
quated guns, but the majority have merely
umbrellas with which to strike terror into
their foes. One man with modern repeat
ing rifle could stand off 1000 of them. Off
GERS of all the men-of-war have been very
busy providing for the safety of the stations
near which they are assigned.
The Foreigners Are in Danger.
In his latest letter to the North China
Ne,cs, Mr. Drummon gives this as the inside
news of the Chinese Governments plans:
The Chinese Government has made in
quiries, and the conclusion has been arrived
at that statements in regard to the danger
now existing from the monopoly of military
power by the Human and Anhui men, and in
regard to the prompt and vigorous action,
are true. Orders have been already given
for the enlistments and drilling OF troops in
other provinces and at Canton, and 1t Is In
tended to send these as soon as they are
ready, which will be in the spring, to the
Yang Use provinces to break up the Human
predominance by distributing large por-
tion of the Human troops. 1t is also said
that as soon as it is considered safe, Vice
roy, who is not a Human man, will be sent to
Nanking.
AS have previously stated, the necessity
when it comes to be actually carried into
effect will be critical. As the condition of
the provinces near Yang-Tse is such ns to
constitute serious danger to the Chinese
Government as well as to the lives and
property of foreigners, and, as the Govern
ment is now well aware of the danger, there
IL no reason to doubt that efforts to break
up the Hunan-Anhui monopoly of military
power will be vigorously prosecuted, and if
this can be successfully completed before
any general outbreak occurs the dangers Of
rebellion will be averted. The fact, how
ever, that a change is to be made is becom-
ing known adds considerably to the gravity
of the situation.
The salt riots at Tek-Hua, near Foo Choo,
are still threatening. Imperial troops
gained one victory over the rioters and be-
lected another body of troops and deffed the
army. but was a second time defeated. 1t is
now reported that he is negotiating for a
compromise.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrATCH.l
SAN Francisco Dec. 20.-The Pacific
mail steamer City of Peking arrived to-day
November "a No passengers could be
seen. as all are quarantined. Details of the
trouble in Human and along the Yang-Tse
river given in Shanghai and Hongkong
papers throw light on the meager cable dis
patches, and show that the situation of the
foreigners is very grave.
There seems to be no doubt that the main
cause of intense bitterness against the for
eigners are the books issued in the capital
of Human by literary man who is an init
mate associate of the Governor of the prov
ince, and who has not been punished for his
offense. Dr. Griffith John, of Shanghai,
located this fellow. whose name is Cheen
Han He is a Tartar of considerable wealth
with influential connections. Five keepers
of pawnshops in Wuchang were arrested
and punished severely for selling the books.
Ore, however, who was a relative of Cheen
Han, was released, the authorities claiming
there was no evidence against him.
The yiccroy Afraid of the Disturber.
Cheen Han a few weeks before the riots
began 10 send emissaries up and down the
Yang-Tse Valley with his filthy books con-
tanning bitter attacks on foreigners and
calling upon the Chinese people to expel
them and burn their houses These men
were known to be doing this work in March
and April The first riot occurred at Wuhu
On Nav II Then came the Marking riot
on the 25th of May, the Wusueh riots on
the 9th of June, and the Ichang riots on
September .. Compare these dates and you
will see at once that all these riots synch-
ronize with the presence of Cheen Hans
emissaries in the Yang-Tse Valley.
Everywhere they found a state of mind
ready for their reception and lots of Human
men only too glad to join them, but they
themselves seem to have been the principal
agents in infaming the popular mind and
raising an uproar These books, as well as
obscene and blasphemous placards, are
ascribed to Cheel Han, whose residence is
well known to the Vicerov, Ii Hung Chang,
but in the present state of the Chinese En-
pire he dares not attempt to send force into
Human to capture this man, who is respon-
sible for all the trouble.

A Kissing Game Suggested Instead OF Pro-

LEBANON, Mo-, Dec 20.-For some rea-

failed to return indictments against the
progressive euchre players, although a num-
ber of society leaders were summoned be-
fore that body to testify as to what they
knew about the game. Whether that august

exacting pledges from members of the var

progress.

by a committee of ladies, and the fiat has
gone forth that the fascinating game must

on such occasions, will probably fully oc-

the point which he playfully makes that a
man who lives long on the plains comes to

of his stories runs, he had the misfortune
while entering dining room in this city to
step upon the skirt of lady's dress. Apol-
ogizing, he said: "You. know that I have
been living with the Indians lately and
have grown somewhat awkward"
The lady, Miss Potter, quickly replied:

prised at one thing, that after living so long
with the Indians, you shouldn't be better at
