The Empress of China Brings Late Adj
vices From China.
VANCOUVER, May 7.-Adyices by the
Empress of China say that the Chinese
Government is alarmed at the rapid de-.
crease in the sales of Chinese teas, owing
to the preference existing for Indians and
CeylOns. 1t has strGngly exhoIted the peo-
pie to use all possible care to improve the
quality of the tea exported.
Captain Pedro Casorla. one Of the fore
most men in the Spanish nayy, recently
shot himself on the cruiser Reina Chris
tina near Hong-Kong.
Lui, Governor of Hwang Tung. whose
capital is Canton, and formerly Chinese
Minister TO London, Paris and st. Peters
burg, is dead.
The Canton authorities. owing to the out
cry against the recent seizure of an English
warehouse at Fat Shau, have trumped up
charge of smuggling, which, on being lnves-
tigated before the British Consul at Canton
and the Chinese officers, entirely broke
down. The most despicable trickerY TO es-
tablsh the charge was shawn.
The defalcation of the Chinese 'c0mpra-
dore" OF the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank has caused several Chinese banks to
close their doors. This has shaken conf
denee in Hong-KCng securities and brokers
estimate the net decrease in local stocks at
SIS, 100000 during the last year. The pro-
p0sal OF the Hong-Hong Government to
raise loan has consequently been aban-
doned.
The foreign press and community of
Shanghai have raised an cutlery against the
brutal torture Of Chinese prisoners. accused
of being accomplices of Mason, who was
supposed to have been fementing an insur-
rection against the Chinese Government to
extort confessions. Even the usually cal
lous Chinese have been moved and the
atrocities have been discontinued
Captain Boor of the Seventeenth Bengal
Cavalry and DR.. Thorold, with nine Hin
docs, left Cashmere in April, 1891, aud
traversed the Land of the Lamas from
east to west, entering China in Szchuan.
The greater part of the journey was made
at an elevation of $4,000 feet, aud 30 horses
persisted on the way. The trip was an ex-
traordinary one.
Lord Salisbury has advised the British
missionaries in China TO avoid anything
which might give rise to suspicion or dis
trust among the people. or trying TO shock
national prejudices. The practice of un-
married female missionaries travelling with
unmarried male missionaries is considered
an outrage on the Chinese ideas of decorum,
affOrding grounds for scandal, which gains
publicity through filthy and scurrilous
pamphlets, circulated by the anti-Chrstian
party.

THE SPIRIT OF WORSHIP.
Outline OF Mrs. Cooper's Lesson to He
Bible Glass.

Outline OF Mrs. Cooper's Lesson to Her
Bible Glass.
In opening the Bible class yesterday MS
Cooper gave much interesting information
in regard to the kindergartens. which have
been crowded during the past few months.
She also stated that she had accepted an
invitation 10 deliver an address at the
Woman's Council Of the Worlds Fair on
the subject of Free Kindergarten Work 10
Large Cities"
The lesson was based on psalm 81: "How
amlable are Thy tabernacles. o Lord Of
Hosts" etc. Mrs. Cooper said: We need
more reverence in human hearts and lives
to-day. Those who disobey the laws Of
God in human nature can find little pleasure
in the temple where He is worshiped. We
need to so live as to be able TO respect our
selves. Self-resDect is the cornerstone Of
all virtues, for no one can truly respect
himself who is not conscious of desire TO
be true. Il is for our own sake, aud not
for Gods sake, that worship and reverence
are enjOined.
In closing the lesson the teacher said
''Children should be so trained as to love
the Sabbath. This can only be done by
making the Sabbath a pleasure and not a
penalty. There should be the same JOY
experienced in receiving spiritual nOurish-
ment that there is in receiving physical
nourishment There is serious fault some
where if this is not so. The children who
90 astray, as rule, are the children who
have had no TUE Sabbath at home, and the
children who have had an enforced and un-
lovely Sabbath"

The Body Of a Middle-Agcd Man Found
Near Clay-Street Wharf
William Tole. a boatman, saw a dark
object floating past Clay-street wharf at 2
O'clock yesterday afternoon. A close in
speciion showed the object to be the body
Of n man. With the assistance Of Harbor
Policeman Callahan the boatman tied a
rope around the body and tOwed it ashore.
Then the Coroner was notified, and the re-
mains were conveyed TO the Morgue.
Decomposition had set in, and the re-
mains had the appearance OF having been
in the water about 10 days. The deceased
was evidently middle-aged man, and at
tired as a longshoreman or coal-passer.
Nothing was found by which he could be
identified. the pockets OF the clothing being
filed with coal-dust.
The body was attIred in a blue flannel
Shirt blue overalls, black cashmere cut

FIGHTING IN ToNoUIN.

the Rebels.

The French Capture the strongholds of
the Rebels.
Hard fighting in Tonqnn is reported by
the Shanghai Mercury. which says that the
concentration of considerable force at YEN
the, under General Voyron, resulted in
three days operations between the 18th and
18th OF March. The ''pirates" were forti-
led In most formidable manner in in
trenehed camps, with great natural ad-
yaDtages In their. favor; their leaders were
heard to exhort their men. through the in
tervals of firing. to take good aim and fire
slowly; they were composed of Annamite
and Chinese bands. and appear to have
been admirably led. On the part of the
French, several batteries of 80 and 90 milli-
meter mountain pieces were brought into
play. When the strongholds Of the rebels
were finally entered they were found to be
deserted, and therefore the rebel loss is not
known. The French forces lost % killed
and 43 wounded. Rear Admiral Fourier
has received orders to proceed at once to
Saigon with the Alouette. after arrival of
the river boat on board of which he was
embarked.

electric road wants ii at its terminus, near
Garfield Park. Neither side is willing to
give, and after all Santa Cruz il appears,
is unable to raise the $1,000 necessary to re-
open the question and take the camp from
Fruitvale. The railroad Is the cause.
1t has refused to make any concession
other than TO give 50 so rate for the round
trip, and this means that Santa Cruz must
pony up about $500 to have the camp. The
railroad is obdurate, because it claims 1t

Now another proposition has been brought
up in regard TO the camp at Fruitvale, and

Fourth OF July week is chosen, is to bring

this occurred in this city. The division can
be brought over from camp for about $500.
