She brought advices from China to Aug. 30. Sir John Wolsom, the Brit ish minister, has protested strongly against the dilatory manner in which the Chinese government dealt with the recent riots and has put three ques- tions to the government, asking first, why the edict on the subject of the riots was not dispatched through the empire by telegraph; second, why the Wuhu magistrate who tried to stop the riots was degraded, while his superi- ors, who did nothing, were not pun ished; and, third. why punishment of the guilty ct Wusuch was delayed.
 The Chinese government sent the questions to His Excellcncy Li Hung Chang to be answered. Chang replied: First 1t is not the custom of China to send edicts by wire; second, the magis trste was degraded for other reasons; and, third, rioters wore punished, two being executed and others otherwise punished"
 Lord Salisbury added to his three questions the demand that Human. which is the hotbed of anti-foreign sentiment in China, be opened to trade. coupled with the threat that if China could not control her own people foreign powers would take the matter in hand

 WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. l5.--An un- known and desperately wounded robbcr here Is giving remarkable ex- hibition of nerve. Yesterday morning before daylight the police found in a doorway on Main street a man ser iouslv injured by two pistol shot wounds in the side. He was removed to the hosp tai, and when examined there was found on his person consid- era ble money and jewels, which, when shown, were identified as part of the plunder obtained in Providence from numerous robberies of pri- vate house. The robbcr flatly refused to give his name or any particulars about himself. Investigation showed that early lasS night the house of Mir. Frisble, at Hartford. Conn.,, had been entered by burglar. and that the lat tor had fed, wounded by shot from Frisbie's pistol. He dragged himself to the depot, wounded as he was, and, stealing under passenger coach. rode on the trucks as far as Springfield, where faintness compelled him to let go. He entered the car and got as far as Worcester, and was unable to go any further. The doctor says that with his two fatal wounds he showed the greatest nerve he ever saw.

A Wreck on che Union Paciflo fin Colorado Twenty-six People wore

DENVER, Col, Sept. 15.-Passcngcr train No. 314, bound toward Denver on the Graymont division of the Union Pacific railway, was wrecked this morning about il o'clock near Beaver Brook station, and twenty-six passen- gers were injured, five of whom will probably die.
 The train was late and running very rapidly. When rounding 8 sharp curve the express car left the track and rolled down fifteenfoot embank meut It was followed by the mail and two passenger coaches, ono of which turned over twice before reach ing tho bottom.
 Tho train was loaded with passen- gers, many of whom were Knights of Pvthias returning from the Knights of Pythias State convention, which was held at Aspen last week.
 When the news reached Golden, Colo, wrecking train was ordered out, and was starting, when Robert Pruin, an employe of the road. at tempteo to board the engine In doing so his revolver fell from his hip pocket and the weapon was discharged, the ball taking effect in the mans neck. making wound which will result fatally.
 Those seriously injured in the wreck were left at Golden in the hands of physicians, while those not badly hurt were brought to this city and taken to their homes or the hospitals The seriously injured are:

It is not known exactly what caused the wreck, but as the road is narrow gauge and the coaches very top-heavy, it is thought the train was running too rapidly for safety. A passenger train on the Colorado Central railroad was wrecked at noon to-day. Fifteen passengers were in jured, but 1t is thought none fatally. It has been impossible to learn the particulars yet as the telegraph ofilc 6 at that place has been closed.
