A Marriage OF the Dead.
Chinese girl, recently deceased, was
married to dead boy in another village.
1t not infrequently happens that the
son in the family dies before he is mar
ried, and that it is desirable to adopt n
grandson. The family cast about for
some young girl who also died recently,
and proposition is made for the union
OF the two corpses in the bonds of matri-
mony. If 1T is accepted there lisa COM
bination OF wedding and funeral, in
the process of which the deceased bride
IS taken by large number of bearers to

unreasonably, the subject of conflicting
doubts. 1t has been overdone; the re-
creative mean has been passed and tho
resulting exhaustion can find no solana

LIKE A NEW BUILDING.
Paint, Decorations and Repairs Have Re

Paint, Decorations and Repairs Have RE-
stored the White House.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-While up to
the present time the attention to the
White House improvements has been
directed principally to the interior dec-
orations, still the exterior of the execu.
tive mansion and its surroundings have
not been neglected.
Major Ernst, the superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, who is in
charge of the improvements, has made
it his ambition that when the president
returns to the White House this fall he
shall find the stately mansion in better
shape inside and out than it has ever
been since the days of Dolly Madison.
TO tell the truth, the exterior, that is to
say, the walks and approaches to
the White House have been an eye
sore. The pavement of the avenue be-
tween the White House and Lafayette
square has been in such shameful CON
dition that on dark night ones life Is
in danger. This will be remedied by
replacing the broken and missing slabs
OF stone by composition pavement. All
the roads in the White House lot lead

rapidly repaired, new terraces are being
built and the parking is being much i'm
proved. The roads leading to the mon
ument are also being put in good order,
so that the White House lot and the ad-
jacent ground will become one of the
lleasantest drives in the city. The new
furniture is beginning to arrive, and the
carpets in the reception room are being
laid.
Major Ernst has ordered a distinct
improvement in the paint work, which
has hitherto been white for about ten
days after the painting was completed,
and then for the rest Of the year was
always of an indefnable dirty, smudgy
color that defied all soap and securing.
All the woodwork is being given ma
hogany finish.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 1.-The

the Pacific ocean record by eight hours,

that caused the loss of 200 lives. The
typhoon struck the steamer on the even

and loss of life resulted all along the

the Georgetown people wild with ex-

It is believed that no more incendiary
fires will be started, but at the same
time it is thought best to be on the safe
side, and armed vigilance will not for
the present be suffered to relax. The
excitement still runs high and the feel
ing against the negroes is very bitter.

LONDON, Sept. THE Chilian war is
now acknowledged to be over, and it is
stated semi officially that rs soon as the
government of Chill is reorganized by
the victorious congressionalists, the new
administration will be recognized by
Great Britain.
1t is expected mere that Balmaceda
will join the list of exiled monarchs and
ex-presidents in France. His family left
Santiago some months ago, and are said
to be in Buenos Ayres, awaiting his ar
rival in the event of defeat. He is also
said to have forwarded about $500, 1000 in
gold to London two months ago on his
own private account and presumably
realized from his private fortune, which
was formerly large.
The Chilian ministry in London has
had nothing to say for the past two
days. Both here and in Paris the min
listers have been loyal and active adher-
ents of Balmaceda and they can expect
no favors from the new rulers of Chill.
The press of both Berlin and Paris re-
joice at the fall of Balmaceda.

Who're is Balmaceda?
There are all sorts of rumors about
the movements of Balmaceda. 1t was
said that he was making his way over
land to the Atlantic coast. Another
statement was that he had gone to Co
quimbo, where the Almirante Condell
and the Imperiale were awaiting him.
On good authority, however, he went by
a special train Sunday to Talcahuno, on
Conception bay, and that there he will
make connection with the Condell and
Imperiale, and in one of those vessels,
probably the former, make for Buenos
Ayres or Montevideo. If this is SO he
will in all probability escape.
Order Restored in Valparaiso.
Comparative order has at last been re-
stored in Valparaiso. 1t took drastic
measures to do it. Rioters who were
caught in the work were summarily
dealt with and many of them were shot
out of hand, These prompt measures
have cooled The ardor of the lawbreak-
ers at last, but rioting was not stopped
until property estimated to be worth ST.
5000 had been destroyed.
Many Acts of Tyranny.
Many acts of tyranny have been per-
petrated here by government officials
since last January, and every war ship
in the bay has its quota of refugees.
This gave rise to much dissatisfaction on
the part of the congressionalist leaders.
The feeling was particularly bitter
against the Americans, for Admiral
Brown had given asylum to many un-
popular officials on board the San Fran
cisco and Baltimore. Admiral Brown
Sunday afternoon had long consulta-
tion with the leaders of the junta and
his explanations have had the effect of
putting an end to the irritation against
the Americans.
Want Our Recognition.
The junta are exceedingly anxious to
secure recognition from the United
States government, and are now hopeful
that it will be accorded. Numerous ar
rests Of government officials have been
made.
No Butcheries Probable.
The insurgents show a moderate dis
position, however, and there have been
none of these bloody butcheries which
usually mark the success of a South
American revolution
All to BE Given Fair Hearing.
The leaders say that every man against
whom charges are made will have full
and fair hearing before the proper civil
authorities when order is fully restored.
The ambulance service, however, has
been simply disgraceful. Hundreds of
wounded men were left on the battle
field to die who might have been saved
if prompt measures Of relief had been
taken.
