In Golden Days the following story of a
Newfoundland dog occurs;
a particularly fine Newfoundland dog
was one day sitting on a wooden bridge
over very swift stream discussing bone
when predatory pug came along, and a
smart alteration arose over the bone So
violent became the debate that both sud
denly overbalanced and fell into the stream
beneath. The nearest landing place was
100 yards down, and to it the Newfound-
land betook himself without much diff
Guilty. and after a good shake was prepar-
ing 10 depart when he suddenly became
aware that the pug was having very hard
time Of it, wildly beating the water and
showing every symptom Of exhaustion.
One look was enough. In went the shaggy
coated fellow, and seiZing the other by the
collar brought his late enemy safe to land.
The two dogs then eyed each other with a
perfectly indescrihable expression for some
seconds, then solemnly wagged their re-
spective tails and with dignity departed.

police authorities are still prosecuting q
vigorous search through Santiago for
the fugitive ex-president Balmaceda.
Il is now the general belief that he Is
in hiding in some OF the monasteries.
Several OF these institutions have al
ready been visited by the police, but so
far no trace Of Balmaceda has been dis
covered. In spite of this fact rumors
gain ground that he has found. protec-
lection under clerical wings.
There is no truth whatever in the re-
port about an Indian uprising. The
story evidently had It's origin in the
pillaginy of Coronel by miners.
The foreign ministers are much
chagrined at the promptitude displayed
by Minister Egan In scoring point In
behalf OF the United States In recogniz-
ing the Junta's authority ahead OF any
other nation.
Two severe earthquakes occurred
here this morning. the first was eX-
pericnced at twenty minutes TO s, aud
created general alarm. 1t was OF n
few seconds duration. Before the peo-
ple had recovered from their fright,
second shock took place at u quarter 10

the forerunners of more serious shocks,
but happily none other occurred.

PHILIPPI, w. VA, September l3.-
Yesterday was Farmers Alliance Day
here, and as such it was success. A
mass meeting OF tho various sub-Alli-
ances OF the county had been duly an
nounced TO be held at Ices Grove, half
a mile from town, and as the weather
indications were favorable, extensive
preparations were made for it.
The day was bright and clear-tine in
all respects-and early in the morning
people began pouring in TO participate
in the meeting. The chief speaker OF
the day was Prof. II. Ii. johnson, of
Romney. He was met at the train by
procession OF some 500 people in wagons,
on horseback and on foot, headed by a
brass band and escorted to the grove.
The kind, generous farmers had
brought in ample supplies of dinner
and of course the hungry crowd did
justice TO IL.
After dinner Mr.. johnson spoke to
an appreciative audience on the vital
questions of the day. His advice to
the farmers was to study both sides OF
the political situation. His speech
was a good, fair one and was well re-
ceived.
The number of people attending is
variously estimated at anywhere from
800 20 $500. A better behaved crowd
was never assembled in Barbour coun-

CINCINNATI, O., September 13.-Vera
Ava still remains the heroine Of a cum
ming, romantic episode, or the victim OF
a cruel outrage. There is strong dis
positlon here TO regard her as Diss
Debar sailing under another name.
Mrs. Bonnell, of New York, who knows
Diss Debar, says Miss Vera Ava called on
her last evening, and said: This Is
not Diss Debar."
To the representative OF the Associ-
ated Press late this evening she secuted
the Debar theory and said witnesses
will settle that. Every person that ever
knew Debar will, on seeing me. testify
that | am not the woman. Further
more, there Is more reliable test than
human testimony that l am not that
woman Debar. have never had chill
dren and Dis Debar has had several.
An examination by competent physi-
clans will prove that beyond possibility
of doubt that am not a woman that
has given birth 10 children and there
fore cannot be Dis Debar."
This morning she was visited by
committee of religious women from the
Woman's Temperance Union. She led
in PRAYER, and afterwards thrilled them
with her eloquence, taking for her text
the condition OF some mere chlidren
that occupied cells in the house OF
detention.
The representative of the Associated
Press this evening asked her why she
did not make known the names or her
friends in London so that she
might get help from them.
She said: 81 have my reasons
for that. have right to expect help
from DR.. Bolton. 1t was only last Sum-
day night that my money was more than
one-thrd Of ali that went into his con-
tribution box. Then she broke out into
a controlled denunciation of DR.. Bolton,
accusing him of ingratitude and un-
faithfulness in not coming to her aid.
Recovering composure, she said: Il
think shall lecture here some time this
week in this dress and just as l am in
nv stocking feet. think / can raise
money in that way to get back to Chi
! cago." :.
inst then she arranged her calico
dress, and throwing Il sack OF heavy
black crepe 9-ound her neck, she said:

l made my escape. | intend to keep
this as long as l live, and | hope to be
buried in it when | die" Then she
driited away into talk about her scheme
to lift children out of the slums.
In this connection she said Archbish-
op Feehan was dIspleaSed with her, not
on account of her effort TO elevate the
wretched, but because she took the poor
children to DR.. Bottoms congregation.
In all her conversation her voice was
clear, her enunciation perfect, her story
consecutive and her language fluent,
and well put together in vigorous Eng
liSh.

CHINESE NEWS.
The Demands Made on the Governments Tor

The Demands Made on the Governments Tor
the Punishment OF rioters.
SAN Francisco, September 13.-The
British steamer China arrived early this
morning from Hong Kong and Yoko-
hama. She brings advices from China
I'D TO August 80. Sir John Wolson, the
British Minister, has protested strongly
against the dilatorY manner in which
the Chinese government dealt with the
recent riots and has put three questions
to the government asking, trst, why an
edict on the subject of the riots was not
dispatched through the empire by
telegraph; second, why the Wuhu
magistrate who tried TO stop
tho riots was degraded while his supe-
riors who did nothing were not pun
ished; aud third, why the punishment
of the guilty at Wusuch was delayed.
The Chinese government sent the ques-
tions to His Excellency, Ii Hung Chang,
TO be answered. Chang replied, first,
it is not the custom of China to send
edictsby wire;sec0nd the magistrate was
degraded for other reasons, and third,
the rioters had been punished, two be-
ing executed and the others otherwise
punished.
Lord Salisbury added to his three
questions demand that Human, which
is the hot bed of anti-foreign sentiment
in China, be opened to trade coupled
with d threat that if China could not
control her own people the foreign pow
this the Viceroy replies that China i
perfectly able TO control her own peo-
pie. The conclusion is that IL able, she
must be unwilling. Engand's action is
understood to be backed by other pow
erS, and il is thought force will be used
if China is not conciliatory.
Over twenty thousand people assem-
bled at Lung Chow in the province Of
Human recently to prevent workmen
from putting up telegraph lines. Ten
thousand poles were burned and the
men driven over the boundary. A So
ciety has been formed to keep the tele-
graph out, and mob is still on the
watch. Great apprehension is felt by
the inhabitants of the border districts
in Human.
The following advices are from Japan:
On August 16 an American vessel, name
unknown as yet, was wrecked in Kan
No Wa bay. She had a crew of seven
teen and the captains wife. All but
two were drowned.
By the recent floods in the Tu Ku
Shima prefecture 354 houses were de-
stroyed and over six hundred injured.
Two persons were drowned and thirty
one vessels destroyed.

MEETING OF TRADES ASSEMBLY.
Topics thatWere Considered by the Menu
bers Yesterday.

Topics thatuere Considered by tho Mem
bers Yesterday.
During the last few months there
seems to have been sort OF reawaken-
ing interest In the proceedings OF the
Trades Assembly, as the attendance
has been large, and even on the most
sultry Sundays, when people are less
inclined to gather within doors, the
representation has been large. In the
absence OF President Riley, Vice Presi-
dent Donneley presided. While there
was little of special moiaent involved
in the meeting of yesterday there were
many ideas advanced likely 20 be OF
considerable Importance later.
There was a slight discussion over the
beer question, which has for some
weeks engrossed the attention OF the
assembly. 1t was reported that some
of the saloons, even those that had
signed the agreement to discontinue the
sale of the same had been getting Mil
waukee beer into their saloons through
the back entrance in order to avoid In
spection. Several saloons on Market
street are reported to have done this.
The committee having the matter in
charge was instructed TO attend TO this
matter at once.
The Secretary announced that there
would be a net profit Of aboutS1 COO from
the recent celebration OF Labor Day.
The first member was fined yester-
! day for non-attendance, according to
the revised constitution Of the Assem-
bly, which now fines members who are
absent two meetings in the month.
A communication from District AS
sembly No. 8, of Pttsburg, was rcceiv-
ed in relation to the Marvin boycott.
| It was to the effect that the boycott
is renewed in that section. The boy
colt on the Marvin goods In
Wheeling has not vet been ordered
of. but the~boycott has not been lived
up TO by wide margin. There was also
communication from the bung and cork
workers of Pittsburg in relation to the
same industry In Wheeling. The brew
ers' union will probably look after the
matter in this locality.
A committee Of three was appointed to
meet committee OF the Grocer's Asso-
citation. The committee consists OF Chas.
Morningstar, Roman Dobler and Rich
ard Robertson. 1t is claimed that the
grocer's have violated their agreement
| with the assembly by the non observ-
ance of the laws of closing and the sale
of non-unlon goods, especially scao
stogieS. While it is adiiiicult mat
ter to confne grocery store
exclusively TO union goods, they
are supposed tn keep only such othor
goods as ore mutually agreed upon by
the store keepers and the Trades Assem-
bly,. The grocery stores by the last
enactment were supposed to have closed
at o'clock evenings, with the excep-
tion of Friday and Saturday.
The Trades Assembly have set apart
one of the smaller apartments OF the
hall, where the legislative and the or
ganzation committees will meet once q
week.
1t has not yet been decided what local
was the winner of the silk banner for
turning out the largest number Of mem
bers on Labor day. The matter Is still
in the hands OF the subcommittee. and
will probably be reported to the Assem-
bly, next Sunday.

are already receiving considerable pen
sion they are not entitled TO as great
proportion Of the official force working
upon their claims for increase Of pen
sions, SIS those claimants, old soldiers
and widows, who are not drawing pen
siOns.
Now in addition to letters of mem bers
of Congress the Office last year received
/, ,l70, 600 communications from claim
ants, their friends and attorneys, max
ing inquiry as TO the conditions of those
claims. You ask why IS one Congress
sional call answered sooner than an
other when they are both filed at the
same time. Your calls are answered
when the claims. are reached in their
turn.
BY directing the energies of the Office
10 the adjudication Of claims and keep
ing the force steadily at work upon
that business I have at last brought the
office up TO the adjudication OF $4,000
claims per month.
/ believe that this can be kept up
during the present fiscal year. In fact,
I have set the Office the task of issuing
$50, 900 certificates during the present
fiscal year, which will be an increase.
During the past fiScSl year there were
received in the office 154, SIT communi
cations from members of Congress in
regard to pension claims. Nearly all
the members of both houses are in cor
reSpondence with many claimants, and
you will observe that an average OF
more than three hundred applications
per day for status were received during
the past fiscal year. To draw the
claims 20 which these letters relate and
have the examiners from day TO day
give the status OF claims as requested
by members would be such an interior
ence with the other business of the
bureau that 1t would be denial OF jus
tice TO probably 75, 900 or 100, 900 PEN
sioners per annum who would otherwise
receive certificates upon adjudication OF
their claims.
Where a member of Congress is cogni-
zant of the fact from knowledge or ac-
| curate information that an old soldier
| is in such a condition, physically or
| fnancially,as to render it necessary that
| his claims should have immediate atten-
| tion, and that fact is brought to the no
! tice OF the officer, do not hesitate To
/ have the case called up, examined and
/ the status given; and in such cases
would be glad TO respond to your letters
1t seems TO me that when the veterans
of the war who are your constituents
understand the condition OF things al
the bureau and the efforts that are be-
ing made to dispose of their business
they will counsel patience on all sides
The Important thing for every claimant
to do is to obtain and furnish the ne
ceSsary evidence to complete theil
claims. When this is done they must
gjve notice of the fact OF completion
and claim will be taken up promptly
and disposed of soon as possible.
Very truly yours,
GREEN B. RAUM, Commissioner.
