The Salvation ARMY Dispersed.

Eastbourne, London, was yesterday again
the scene of disorder, growing out of the hos
tility continually shown there to members of
the Salvation Army. The disturbance, how
ever, was not nearly SO marked as that of two
weeks ago. The Eastbourne police dispersed
the gathering members Of the army and pre-
vented their holding their customary Sunday
services on the beach or playing on their in
struments in the street. But in spite of the
efforts Of the police there was much disorder
and several fights occurred. These unruly
manifestations were witnessed by thousands Of
persons who had gathered, probably expecting
to see much more disorder than they really
witnessed. The onlookers included the Duke
of Portland and several members of the house
of commOns

Count Won Butcher, the German nobleman
who was cast off and disinherited by his father

The services were SO entirely without cere-

rites of the church.
The young count was disownod by his father
because he married beneath his noble station.
He was married in Milwaukee last July to Miss
Alma Loeb OF Brooklyn. His wife was seeking

AN EDUCATIONAL DISPLAY.

Superintendent of His Plans.

Commissioner Harris Tells the School
Superintendents of His Plans.
Mr.. L. R. Klemm OF the bureau of educa-
ton before the department of superlnfend-
ence of the National Educational Association
in Brooklyn yesterday described the system in
Germany, where the authorities have power to
compel parents to send their children to school
or to be summoned before the police magis-
trates. Mr.. E. B. Prettyman, superintendent
of Maryland, also participated in the discus
sion.
Selim H. Peabody, chief Of the department
OF liberal arts, read n paper describing the
educational exhibit Of the worlds Columbian
exposition.
W. T.. Harris, commissioner of education,
read a paper on 1.-THE Worlds Educational
Congress" Mr.. Harris said it had been well
considered by the Columbian exposition that
side by side with the exhibit of the material
resources of all nations there should be an ex-
hlbition OF the spiritual achievements A pro-
gram had been mapped out which set apart
each OF the six months of the exposition for
some congress of human achievements. The
month OF May had been set apart for art, liter
allure and music. 1t was appropriate that the
series should begin with a discussion of the
spiritual activities which have for their object
the display Of human nature: for every exposi-
ton of the ideals and the achievements OF the
people OF the world. June was set apart for
religion and morals, July for education in all
its forms; not merely school education alone
was to be considered butall manner of learned
societies were to meet in confereuce. On the
subject of education advisory committees had
been formed on the departments of higher ed
ucation, public instruction, music teaching,
instruction of unfortunates and special educa-
ton.
The special committee of the National Edu-
catlonal Association, Mr.. Harris said, had been
recognized and made an advisory council on
public instruction. At first this committee
found itself embarrassed by seeming to find its
functions limited to the Office of making sug-
gestions on the subject of public schools and
excluding the topics of higher education. man
ual training, music and kindergarten. But a
correspondence and conference had removed
these difficulties. The committee now acting
in conjunction with the local committee,
would complete the organization of the several
departments Of the congress by inviting dis
tinguished educational specialists from the
several states and foreign countries to Join in
the work OF ten sections representing the
| scope of the National Educational Association.
A brief discussion followed the reading of
these papers. At o'clock services in the
memory of John Hancock we're held. W. Z.
Sheldon of Boston. d. S. Kyle of st. Paul and
l.. W. Day of Cleveland were the speakers. A
reception was given at night to the delegates.

THE INsURREcrION IN CHINA.
Minister DENLY Tells the Real Cause Of the
Uprising.

tprfslng.
The rumors regarding the recent insurrec-
ton in China have been so contradictory that
Minister DENLY has reported to the Depart
ment of State a carefully prepared statement
OF the facts. The locality OF the rebellion is
In the northern part of the province of Chiuli.
sometimes given as Che elee and Pecheelee. in
which province is situated the city of Peking,
the capital Of the empire. Various causes have
been assigned for this uprising, many incor-
rectly, and many Of exaggerated proportions.
The foreign residents Of Picking have never
been caused the uneasiness which some cable
grams sent abroad have indicated. Antagonism
to Christianity was not the cause of the
rebellion, but more probably the depredations
OF organized bands OF robbers, such as are usual
every year, north of the great wall, to some de-
gree This year these bands had Of their num-
Der many TaOist priests. who are supposed to
be aoie to protect their associates from the
bullets of the enemy. The missionaries at
Tsun-hua were in greater danger and upon
order Of the local authorities they were COM
PEELED to abandon their missions and take
refuge in Tlentsin- There have been doubtless
about !, 200 Catholics killed. owing to the fact
that they resided north of the great wall, where
converts to the Catholic religion comprise
most Of :he population. When the uprising got
under way il took the form Of q revolt against
the reigning dynasty and was under the
leadership OF Mich Cheng Wang prince Over
throw of the Chings), a. he styled himself,
Ching being the dynastic title of the present
emperor. The loss to these insurgents IN
killed and captured has been about 5000.
while the loss to the troops of the Chinese gov
eminent has been less than 100. and the vlgor-
Gus action of the imperial troops renders fur
Their disturbance unlikely The losses TO the
people of the northeastern part of the province
has been severe as usual from both insurgents
and troops.
Ii has been a saying among these people for
many years. Pear not the tiger which comes
from the south. but fear the chicken which
comes from the north" and as the power of
proverbs is very strong among the Chinese the
rebel troops carried banners on which were
displayed painted or embroidered cock. thus
hoping to enlist many by the idea that north
ern force could ard would overthrow the pres
ent emperor. The fuifillment OF this prophecy
Is said TO be illustrated in the fate of Shih
Kwang-ti, who built the great wall land who
was one of China's greatest emperOrs). viz:
That his empire would be endangered by Hu.
He devoted his efforts therefore to the con-
quering of the northern tribes (who were
known as the HUI, yet the prophecy WAS real

successor. The present insuTrectiOn Is re-

the reporter.
