A Rebel Rising in China.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The Chronicle CORE
spondent at Shanghai says: The capture of
the Tehwei near Foo Choo Tuesday by
10, 600 rebels was well organized rising.
The rebels were armed with repeaters
and were led by capable men. The out
break was directed mainly against the au-
thorites, though anti-foreign cries were
heard. The officials were poweIless. Euro
pean residents are apprehensive of a
spread Of the revolt.
This British consul here in an interview
said he believed the recent quietude was
only temporary, spring and summer being
the favorable period for outrages in China,
Light draft gunboats are an absolute neces
sity to protect Europeans in the interior
and at the river treaty ports where mas
sacres will inevitably follow the anti-for-
elgn demonstrations unless special proven
tative measures are adopted. In spite of
the semi-official statement that two Ichang
rioters had been beheaded and others bas-
tinadoed. it is notorious the real culprits are
still free, being protected against arrest by
exalted agents.
The Pekin treasury has paid the indem
mites agreed upon, 1900. to the sufferers
of the state of Wuchu and ga, 600 to the
families of Europeans killed at Wusseh An
American missionary, Dart, has expressed
the opinion that trouble will be renew ed
next spring.

The Ian Ow Row Case.

WAsHISeToN, Nov. 16.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day granted
an application for writ of certiorari to
compel the circuit court for the district
embracing the Pacific coast to certify to
this court the case of Ian Ow Bow, a
Chinese importer Of Portland, Ore, who
was refused admission to the United States
after brief visit to China.
The court, in an opinion by Chief Justice
Fuller, says it will be seen the case in
wolves the construction of the Chinese re-
striction act and the treaties between the
United States and China. The Chinese
restriction act as amended made the iden-
LITIGATION of Chinese, other than laborers
who were entirely excluded, in the mode
provided the sole evidence of their right to
enter the United States. Manifestly the
question involved as to how the act should
be construed in view of the treaties Is one
of gravity and Importance and involves q
matter o: international concern. The case,
it holds, has no connection with the
Chinese case heretofore decided, and re-
lied upon to exclude Bow for the resAon in
that case the man was laborer and not q
merchant. The court is therefore of the
opinion sufficient grounds are shown for s
writ of certiorari

The Free Silver Men Gathering
in Denver.
AGGRESSIVE MEASURES WANTED
The Farmers Gathering for Organization
They Want Presidential Nominee Who
Favors Alliance Principles.

DENVER, Nov. 16.-[Special telegram tc
THE HERALD. THE silver men are girding
up their loins and preparing for battle in
the Mining congress which meets or
Wednesday. Delegates are pouring IL
from all points Of the country and the hotel
capacity is tried to its utmost. Genera,
Warner, of Ohio, who was expected to
help the silver men present their demand
for free coinage resolution, is unable to
be present, but Senator Plumb, of Kansas,
is announced to be on the way and will
make strong plea. Governor Anthony is
expected to be here, also together with
several candidates for the nomination of
governor of that state. 1t is not improb-
able that the fight for nomination in
bleeding Kansas may be settled in the
Mining convention.
The scope of the convention will be rauch
larger than has been anticipated and q
meeting will be held in the morning to
make the congress international in its
scope, in order that several Europeans who
have expressed a desire to attend may do
so as delegates. Two gentlemen from
Italy are now on their way here. Messrs.
Nicholas Bogdanof and Roman Levitzky,
of Russia engineers, are here to attend.
The attendance Of Senator Stewart
of Nevada will be expected. Miners
are fiocking in to attend the drilling con-
tests. Besides the prizes offered by the
exchange of Denver, an insurance policy
paid up for $500 will be given each OF the
winners of the two handed contest.

Fonsecas Iuterrupting Cablegrams.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-The Herald's Val
paraiso cable says: Advices from Rio de
Janeiro state Fonsecas' government is in
terrupting all dispatches referring to the
revolution. Buenos Ayres reports the gar
rison at Yaguarros is not in sympathy with
the revolutionists. There are dissen-
sions in the ranks of the reyolutionlsts
owing to differences of opinion as to
the policy. All the navy, except two ships,
remain loyal to Fonseca. A number of
Uruguay army officers are joining the rev.
dictionary forces. The post of commander
in-c chief has been offered A. Strojillo. He
is considering. The revolutionist band oc-
cupied the town of Itaqui, but the garrison
800 men. remain loyal to Fonseca
and is entrenched in the arsenal. The
commander of tie Uruguay river squad
threatens to lombard the town unless the
insurgents lay down the arms. The in
habitants are greatly alarmed. Complete
anarchy and discord are said to exist
through the state. At the town
OF Artezas, members Of the ma
tional guard will not fight if the
government troops are sent against
them. Visconde Palotas has opened nego-
tiations with the dictator. The govern
ment is calling for mutual concessions.
This is owing to the tardy secessions OF
troops from Fonseca. 1t is confidently eX-
pected the revolt will turn out to be a
purely local fight against the governor oil
the state. The officials are generally moi
against Fonseca

Contllcting News from Brazil.

LONDON. Nov. 16.-The news from
Brazil continues of the most conflicting
character Official dispatches from Rio de
Janeiro assert with unequivocal positive
ness that the country is absolutely tranquil
while kilograms from Buenos Ayres and
Santiago report Brazil is torn with dissen
sion and secession. The actual facts prob
ably will not be known until mail advices
are received. An official censorship pre-
vents dispatches not approved by the gov
eminent reaching Europe direct. 1t is not
known how such dispatches reach Buenos
Ayres ana Chill.
The latest official advice from Brazil
states the trouble in Rio Grande do Sui is
purely local and that the government Of
that state is now in the hands of pro-
visional junta. 1t is inferred from this
that the authorities at Rio regard the
iunta as in sympathy with the central gov
eminent, but this theory is contradicted by
dispatches from Santiago to the Times.
These declare the provisional jupta has
taken absolute control and asserts it has
an army of 10000 men armed with rifles.
1t Is short Of artillery and has but one war
vessel, river monitor lightly armed.

Knights of Labor Assembly

TOLEDO, o., Nov. 16.-In the Knights of
Labor assembly the first business was the
consideration of the resolutions presented
by the Worlds Women's Chris tan Tenn
perance Union and National Women's
Christian Temperance Union. Those that
demand equal pay for equal work for
women, woman suffrage and the same
standard of purity for men and women
were at once agreed to. The resolution de-
manding the closing of the Worlds fair on
Sundays was rejected, the knights declar
ing in favor of having the fair open Sun
DAYS for the education of the masses, pro-
vided no one employed at the fair shall
work more than six days per week. The
assembly declined to indorse the resolution
for the prevention of the sale Of liquor on
the Worlds fair grounds. The last resoln-
ton asked the Endorsement Of a petition to
prohibit the sale of alcohol, opium and
other narcotics, and to raise the standard
of law everywhere to that of Christian
morals. This was referred to committee.
At the afternoon session General Master
" orkman Powderly made lengthy state
ment to the assembly with reference to the
charges against him made by ex-Secretary
Turner in various newspapers throughout
the east yesterday. Mr.. Powderly vigor-
ously denies all of the charges and court:
the fullest investigation of his every act.

portant session for the city and really
worked an era in Ogden's growth. Anum-
Der of small claims were allowed. The
Calvert matter came up and the whole
matter was laid on the table, inasmuch as
the First district court had decided the
matter and Mr.. Calvert had transferred
the contracts, out of which the trouble
grew, to other parties.
Considerable discussion was had regard
ing the Twenty fifth street sewer on the
bench, complaint having been made that it
is not being put in deep enough: The city
engineer explained the matter in salts
factory manner and the question was
dropped.
The question OF street paving came up
and resolution was passed to pave twelve
blocks, as follows: From Twenty second
to Twenty seventh on Washington avenue;
on Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth, from
Washington to Wall, and from Twenty
fourth to Twenty fifth, on Pearl.
Mayor Turner and Councilmen Spencer
and Graves were appointed committee to
visit other cities and report upon the best
kind of paving and report as soon as pos
sible. When this report is made and the
council decide upon the question of the
kind of paving to be used, the work OF
paving will be commenced and will be
prosecuted vigorously.
| The fire committee reported the purchase
of two extra fire teams from Malad, Idaho,
for use on the new apparatus. The teams
are beauties.
After some other less important business
the council adjourned.

Greeley. Salt Lake & Pacific Railway

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 16.-ISpecial tele-
gram to The HBRvLD. Reports. come
from Fort Collins, in the northern part Of
the state, that the Union Pacific is resum-
ing work on the Greeley, Salt Lake g.
Pacific. The line connects with the Jules
burg cutoff at its connection with the
Denver Pacific near Greeley, runs west
and enters the mountains at La Porte, just
west of Fort Collins, following up the
Cache la Poudre river through the first
mountain canon and then DETECTING north
TO Larimie City.
If built, this line would shorten the dis
lance from Denver to Salt Lake between
seventy and eighty miles, and if used as an
overland line from Julesburg to Larimie,
would decrease that line by about the same
distance, and avoid some of the heaviest
grades on the Union Pacific along the sum
NIT near Summit. 1t would also do away
with the need of miles of snow sheds. The
line is built to the mouth of the Cache la
Poudre caflon and has been used to carry
stone over for the past year.
The activity of the Denver, Apex s.
Western and the Denver, Lakewood 81
Golden is making the Union Pacific look
out for its western business. The proposed
line is all graded with the exception of
between twenty and thirty miles.

Or. McGlynn and the Pope.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Judging from the
mocking tone of his remarks in Cooper
Union last night, Rev. DR.. McGlynn is not
likely to submit 20 the terms sent by the
Pope as condition of his reconciliation
with the church. He merely touched upon
the Pope's ultimatum, but all Through an
address upon the admissions of the Pope
in his labor encyclical he gave clear eX-
preston of the light esteem In which he
holds the authority of Rome. For instance,
he said: 1.-The Pope in this letter might
have told US that he did not know it all.
He did not say that he was a poor, weak
man and one Of the least of those who have
sat in the chair of ST. Peter. Yet his au-
thority is good with grimace) when 1t
agrees with US.
1--WE Catholics, you know, have great
respect for the Pope in his proper place.
am not quoting the authority of the Pope
for my Israeliush or agnostic or Protes-
tant hearers, but for some Of you who are
Catholics and for myself who am Cath
olic 1 quote the authority of the Pope
that the social evil of poverty does exist"
At the announcement that he was q
Catholic the audience laughed and DR.. Nc
Glynn smiled. In closing McGlynn re-
ferred to his own affairs in this way
'Something has happened to me during
the week The newspapers, by authority
of the archbishop, and presumably by au-
thority of the propaganda, have published
certain conditions under which l may b.
received again into the church. | shall
speak of this matter next Sunday evening
when 1 shall have carefully prepared N.
retraction."
The emphasis on the word ''retraction'
| was scornfIll and the speaker hesitated
moment after using it. Then he continued
clam spoken of as the 'unfrocked priest,
and upon such and such conditions ma.
get it back again. They did take away N,
frock; have 1t still, old and patched IN
ior want of better use to put it to, wea
it for dressing gown. The mighty intel
lect of some journalist invented the phras
unfrocked,' and priest of some ionrna
istic intellect has referred to m
as an 'sx- priest I am not an 'ex-priest
A man once priest is always priest, an
by the seasons Of the Catholic church
will continue to be priest when the star
shall have burned out"

Der IA: affirm that complete tranquility

president and approving the course pur-
sued by congress.

A SALVATION GIRL.
Captain Smith, Who Was Shot
by Nettie Beidler, Alive.
The Suicide Had Strayed From the Paths Of
Rectitude aud When Rebuked by Her
Captain, Shot Her.

OMAHA, Nov. 16.-[Special telegram to
The HERALD. Captain Smith, of the Sal
walton army, who was shot last night by
Nettie Biedler, a min eteeu-year-old girl,
still lies at the point of death. At the in
quest to-day little was developed indicat-
ing the cause of the tragedy and
the report was current at Salvation
army headquarters that the Bied-
Ter woman had a rather questionable
reputation and Captain Smith had en-
dsavored to cut loose from her on that &C
count. 1t was stated the two had chummed
together more or less during the captain
sojourn in the Bluffs, but the friendship be-
came very obnoxious to the latter 1t was
also asserted Miss Biedler had not only
strayed from the path of rectitude and
virtue. but was also endeavoring
to draw Captain Smith aside from the
course she was pursuing, and angered at
her loss Of what little influence she
formerly had, in her despair had shot her
and then taken her own life. This is the
accepted theory.
The weapon with which the shooting
was done is in the hands of the assistant
coroner 1t is 32-calibre revolver of the
''bulldog'' pattern, and contains three
empty shells. 1t was picked up on
the sidewalk scarcely two feet away

Survivors of the Crew of the Sarah.

VICTORIA, b. c., Nov 16.-The survivors
of the crew Of the ship Sarah, wrecked at
Carlanah Point November s, have arrived
here. She went on the rocks in dense
fog. While the mate and nine men were
lowering the long boat Captain Greenhalgh,
his first officer and four men tried TO get
the whale boats. One of the sailors was
knocked senseless and one killed and sec
one put off in the long boat despite the en-
treaties of Captain Greenhslgh fer them to
save his wife and child. The remaining
unfortunates stood two days on the vessel
suffering terribly from cold and wet. They
endeavored to MAKE raft on the second
day, and while engaged in this work huge
wave swept over the vessel, carrying off a
sailor named Thornton. 1t also shifted the
whale boat so the survivors were unable to
launch it and they were washed ashore
where they were succored by Indians IN
til q tug came down from this city after
them. The men who left them to their
fate were also picked up by the tug.
