reckoned among the most beautiful Of races
But those who took part IN the scurry to
Cairo after Telel~Kebi- had unique oppOr-
tunity of judging.
Coptic women OF the better clsss are at
least as much secluded as their MoSlem sis
ters-or were, under the old state Of things
But as the news of the Christian triumph
sped along they turned out In their best
sttire to welcome the Misunderstanding
with joy and relief, no doubt. The train,

BEAUTY ON A CAR.
At each town it stopped reports were
handed in ard arrangements made. In the
crowded horse box, where had my place
with two generals, a peer, and swarm OF
fell officers, whose Spurs were very awk-
ward in the crush-the beauty Of the CODts
was soon remarked. Standing at their doors
or on the housetops, conspicuous by bare
faces black robes, and white scarf about
the head, they remain in my memory and
in that Of others as the statelieSt women
ever saw.
Briefly, speaking from very wide ex-
perience, my impression is that the most
beautiful women of the world are the Sikh;
that is the highest average of regularity In
feature, charm Of expression andsymmetry
of figure is observed among them. But per-
haps one must be an old traveller to disre-
gard complexion. l have got so far as to
think the golden bronze of the Sikh girl at
least as agreeable to the eye as our lilies
and roses.

From the Ne,O York Advertiser.

From The Neto York Advertiser
NoRwALK, CONN. Nov. S.-Amelia Beers,
a widow, will be taken to tie asylum at
Middletown on Monday, as she is hope
lessly insane. For some time she has been
laboring under the delusion that the Lord
had called upon her to sacrifice all the chill
dren and chickens in the ne!ghborhood.
She has threatened children living near
her home, and has said that she was going
TO burn them up as offerings to God. She
has an altar in her back yard, where many
innocent chickens have been cremated. The
neighbors became so frightened that last
week they drew up petition which stated
that Amelia was a public nuisance. Yes
terday she was examined by physicians
ard they ordered her committed to the
asylum.

THECHINESE REVOLT.
FOur Million Inhabitants Of the
North in Rebellion.
THE IMPERIAL ARMY FEEBLE.
European Powers About to Take Action
to Compel the Government to Restore
Order and Protect Foreigners.

BRUSSELS, Dec kilograms from Belgian
missionaries in Mongolia state that the mission
aries of Taku have escaped to the mountains,
and that during the recent troubles Chinese
priests and nuns were horribly treated 1t il
feared some missionaries were killed at Chiay-
okan.
The rebels are not Mongolians, but Chinese
colonists, who are very numerous in that region.
They belong to a secret society that has been
conspiring for four years, and they have i'm
ported many foreign rifles The severe measures
ordered by the Chinese government have pro-
voked the revolt. The rumors that Russia
would interfere have spurred the government to
take active measures to stop the revolt
LONDON, Dec 1.-The Times correspondent at
Paris confirms the report that the French gov
eminent is urging the powers to take combined
action against the Chinese The Standards
Paris correspondent hears that the United States
will also be urged to take part.
NEW YORK, Dec. Ia Hongkong newspaper,
the Swtn zee Dor, received here says the revolu-
tonists are already rated at 1000 900 ablebodied
men. 1t is said that no part of the imperial
army at present upon the field Is capable OF
meeting the emergency. It is rumored in
Chinese circles in New York that an official
Geographic dispatch has just reached the
Chinese consulate, said to be from the minister
at Washington City, giving an account OF pre-
nminary skirmish recently at the port of Shang-
hal between two italian men-of-war and govern
ment warships, and that newspaper correspon-
dents there were warned not to telegraph the
exact truth of the situation for fear of injuring
the cause of Europeans in China.
Won Cea Soong, former popular consul of
the ports of San Francisco and New York, was
recently made general commander of the Chi
nese navy, now in active service, under Viceroy
Ii Hung Chang. This news has created furore
among the New York Chinese friends of the
former consul, and they all hope he will be sue
cessful in his new post.
VIENNA, Dec. 1.-The Political Correspondence
says that France, in view of the situation in
China, has urged the powers to take immediate
united action.

YOUNG FIELD CRAZY.
He Is Locked Up in an Asylum
as Dangerous.
AFTER ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.
His Old Father, Whom He Ruined, and
Sister, Whose Husband He Robbed,
Lie at the Point of Death.

NEW YORK, Dec. Edward NJ. Field, who
has stripped his father of all his possessions,
and upon whose life there is 100000 insurance,
attempted suicide last evening. He has been
committed to an insane asylum as q dangerous
lunatic.
The Tribune says that 1t has been asserted
that the firm had 600 or more invested in
project for the consolidation of all the large sugar
plantations In Cuba into one corporation. This
private enterprise of the sugar planters was
represented by senior J. Demier, who has arrived
in this city since the failure of the firm. The
project was about ready for completion.
Charles Gould, assignee of the firm, ad-
mitted the firms connection with the project,
but could not say what interest they had in it.
1t was asserted, however, that the project will
be put into execution. II so, it is possible that
large assets for the suspended firm may exist
there Assignee Gould this afternoon said:
believe the only great sufferers the men,
bers of the firm, who have been victimized by
Mr.. Field. / am particularly sorry for WEIGH
ers, whom consider as honest young man as
l ever met. The fact is, he has been robbed.
Edward M. Field is the most plausible person
l ever met. Only two days before the assign
ment / talked with him and he ratified off list
of the assets of the firm, showing that they
were worth over 100000. He Is undoubtedly
crazy.

Deficit in the Italian Budree.

ROME, Dec LIN the discussion on the budget
today, Tuzzeti, minister of the treasury, said
that excessive expenditures and overestimation
OF the receipts had caused the budget for 1891 to
show deficit of 100000 lire which new
economies and financial measures would
amply cover. Signor Tuzzeti added
that in the budget for 1892 the revenue would
cover all expenditures aud give a surplus of
over 600 lire. This the first time in the
history of Italian finance that such a result
could be achieved, but 10 secure this parlia-
ment must accept ali the governments
proposals. He said the treasury's
debt now amounted TO 457,000,000 lire Instead
OF meeting the debt in the usual course by the
issue of rentes. he proposed an issue of treasury
bonds for seven aud one half years, redeemable
annually, TO be subscribed Tor only in Italy
Able hnanciers here consider that Minister Tug
zeti has overestimated the governments income
by S0,o00,0o0 lire.

are expected. Judges from the East will
be secured by both associations, and the inten-
ton is to have strictly frst-class show. A
joint catalogue, handsomely gotten up, will be
issued in a few days, which viii contain full
lists of premiums and other necessary informa-
ton. The entrance fee for each dog has been
fixed at 81. and the entries, for poultry as well
as for dogs, close on December 2s. Premium
lists and entry blanks for dogs are in the hands

and for poultry, pigeons and pet stock with
John B. Mercer.

Josiah Collins, Oscar Jones and John d. Mercer
as committee on premium list, rules, printing
etc.. and j. NJ. Brentz as q committee OF one on
diplomas. +. II. Mclaughlin G. G. White and

premiums for the dogs from the merchants of
the city. Correspondence will be opened with Mr..
Roberts, OF London, Ont, who has been Judge at

PORTLAND BRIDGE BOND TROUBLE
Rollins Investment Company Sues the
Committee for Breach of Contract.


PORTLAND, Dec. Especial. Suit was begun
yesterdy by the Rollins Investment Company
of Denver, against the Portland bridge commit
tee in the United States circuit court for the
specific performance of 8 contract made by them
for the sale of the bridge bonds. The bridge COM
mittee were given authority by the Meusdorffer
act to issue and dispose of 100000 of bonds for
the purpose OF providing money to purchase or
construct free bridges across the Willamette
river. In last July the committee advertised for
proposals to purchase the bonds. Several bids
were made, the best being that of the Rollins
Investment Company. Their bid was accepted.
Assertions have been made by parties interested
in getting resale of bonds that combination
was made by different bond houses for the
purpose of beating down the price of
bonds, and that this constituted a fraud
upon the rights OF the bridge committee and
rendered their contract void. These assertions
and charges Of combination are denied and
alleged fraud, it is claimed, is absolutely with
out foundation, and as the Rollins Company's
bid requires them to take aud pay for the
bonds between January l and April l, 1892,
they have made all of their arrangements
for funds to take and pay for the bonds. The
action OF the bridge committee in resembling
the Rollins contract was doubtless brought
about by feeling that the public would be bet
ter satisfied since these rumors of combination
and fraud had become rife, If the matter were
left to the adjudication of Il court.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN DRUNK AGAIN.
After Twenty Weeks OF Total stin enc,
the Champion Fails From Grace.

BAN FRANCISCO, Dec. latter twenty weeks
total abstinence, John l. Sullivan became glori-
ously drunk Monday night and continued on a
spree all today. The audience at his play
Monday night was very small, and this Is be-
ieved to be the cause OF his fall from grace.
Those who know Sullivan best prophecy that he
will go on weeks drunk, and many think he
has made his last effort to let liquor alone.
His failure to get fight with Slavin is said to
be another cause for his return to drink, as he
had promised his hackers in the East that if
they would match him against Slavin he would
not touch a drop of whisky from the day
they made the offer until after the fight, and to
show them that he was in earnest he stopped
Now that their efforts to make a match have
failed, Sullivan evidently considers himself re-
leased from his promise

To Make All Printer. Swift.

TACOMA, Dec L--ISpecial.l-F. W. Middaugh,
a local typesetter and member of the Inter
national Typographical Union, has secured q
caveat on device for holding type in a stick
which he believes will fully answer the place of
the thumb of the left hand, which is ordinarily
used for that purpose by typos. He also has q
device for holding the stick to the case, thus
leaving the left hand free to assist the right in
placing the type in the stick. By this method,
he claims he can set 60 per cent more type than
formerly, when using only one hand. He con-
ceived the idea OF using both hands by watch
ing country newspaper editor operate type
writer, using both hands. II his method proves
q success Mr. Middaugh believes there will be
no use for typesetting machines, his method be-
ing more rapid and less expensive.

is. dispatch was received today from the
Brazilian minister of foreign affairs, stating
that Immediately upon the restoration
of the legal government of the state,
after the deposing Of Da Fonseca, the

patch does not in any way agree with the state
ment made yesterday that the people OF Rio
