CHINAMEN ASSAILED
BY the Ex-senator From New
HAMPSHIRE.

by the Ex-senator FROM new
Hampshire.
AsBURY PARK, n. j., July 23.-EX-
United States Senator Henry w. Blair,
of New Hampshire. appointed as min
lister to China, and who was repudiated
by that government, delivered an adj
dress at the national service at the
Fifth Avenue auditorium this after
noon before vast assembly. His theme
was THE True Relation of Our Nation
to the Other Great Nations of the
Earth" and he dwelt with particular
force on the question of Chinese emf
grafton. He asked, what are we TO do
with the great and pressing problem of
emigration? Is it our duty to admit
them iudiscriminately?"
In referring to the Monaghan, he
said: Had it been permitted, twenty
millions of MongOlians would now be
occupying the western portion of our
country" Further on he said: "They
come to stay, and to debauch the moral
Influences that now exist" and cited
the fact Of their population of $4,000
+ living in New York, who were sapping
the life blood of the American laborer.
They can live on twenty cents day,
where it takes 81 to support an Ameri-
can.
he continued in this strain, and urged
self-preservation by shutting out the
Mongolians. He cited treaties with
China as mistakes, as the advantages
we're on the side of the Cinnamon, and
claimed that the acts of 1883 and 1892
did not go far enough in dealing with
the dangerous people. He asserted
that the foreign powers were diplomat
ically trying to create an antipathy 0e-
tween China and this country for selfish
commercial objects, and declared that
Great Britain was the most active ma
ton melting the bad blood. Frequently
during the address the building re.
sounded with bursts of applause.

RETURNED WITH HoNoRs.
Company A Back From a Glorious
Time at the Fair.

Tanned by Chicago sun, thoroughly
sick of Chicago water, but greatly ell
Unused over Chicago hospitality, Com
panY A, of the Minnesota National
guard, returned from the White city
yesterday and deposited their guns on
the armory floor with a resoundlng
thud. All of the company are we'll and
in good spirits.
The members of the company quickly
shook off their regimental regalia, and
went to their homes to take good nap.
The return trip was made in a comfort
able sleeper on the Great Western, and
the men were all we'll cared far. Every
member of the company is enthusiastic
in speaking of the trip. From first to
last the men were treated royalty, and
they did not have complaint to make.
The reception they met with was a
great contrast to that which was re-
ceived when the whole regiment went
down last year to participate in the
40Oth anniversary exercises, at which
time the men were left to shift for
themselves.

cially in the maneuvers which reduce
a column of tours to a column of files

showed many points of eXt ellence, but
on the whole they were outdrilled by
the Minneapolis lads.
Several members of the company
were in the agricultural building when
the canvas awning under the dome, PIC
feet from the floor, caught fire, causing
| great excitement. Those who saw the
heroic acts of Fire Marshal Murphy and

great financial loss as we'll as prob
able loss of life.

remained in Chicago to see still more of

coed to his home III Philadelphia.

MET DEATH SUDDENLY.
Y0URG LADY KILLED Nv A STREET
CAR ACCIDENT.
HER NAME STILL UNKNOWN

Nobody Seems to Know Just How
the Accident Occurred-Gen-
eraI Opinion That 1t Could
Have Been Averted-Genera
News of a Warm Sunday.
A street car accident happened on
the Bloomington line late yesterday
afternoon by which a young lady lost
her life. 1t occurred on Eighth avenue
south, near the court house, between
and o'clock. The young lady was
about twenty-five years old, but her
identity or name could not be
discovered last night. The story
current regarding the accident
was that the victims hat
blew off and she thoughtlessly stepped
off the car while it was in rapid motion,
to recover the article. AS her feet
touched the earth she was thrown VIC
lently to the ground and rendered in
sensible. The South side patrol wagon
was called, and she was taken to the
hospital, where she died in a few min
utes.
Coroner Spring was notified, and he
ordered the remains taken to Warmers
undertaking rooms.
Neither the undertaken. the coroner,
nor the officials at the city hospital knew
what her name was, as nothing was
found on her person to indicate who
she was.
The car from which she fell was Cos,
the name of the motoneer is Daniel Sui
livan, and that OF the conductor A. Sill
verthorne. The latter, when asked for
information regarding the accident, at
first said he knew little about it, but later
remarked that he had been told not to
say anything. The car is closed one,
and an accident as described would not
seem likely to happen, as the girl would
have to go to the door to step off, and it
seems as though the accident could
easily have been avoided by proper
precautlon. Coroner Spring said an in
quest may be necessary unless more
satisfactory details of the accident are
obtained this morning.

ALL ABOUT 1T.

a Few Pointers.
DR.. II. II. French, at the Wesley
Methodist church, preached last even
ing on the Power of the Press" a SER
mon of unusual interest, which was
listened to by large audience. The
following Is brief synopsis:
1.-The pen, which we are told is
mightier than the sword, has IN these
modern days welded the art pre-
servative.' The result of the union has
been exceedingly fruitful. The progeny
are named history, drama, satire, po-
etry, biography, fiction, sermon, essay,
to say nothing OF the periodical liter
allure, whose best exponent is the mod
ern newspaper. We shall limit our
selves to discussion of the Iast-named
child of the pen and press. Yet no one
need complain that our subject is narrow.
for the weeklies, monthlleS and dailieS of
the United States and Canada number
upwards of II, 900, whose aggregate circu-
lation per year is nearly $500, 900, 900. For
veal or woe this tremendous modern
force has entered the stream of civiliZa-
ton; and no one can doubt that the
future of the world will by it be mould
ed. Nor can we deny that vast amount
of good is accomplished by this ubiQui-
tous agency. 1t is pretty sure sooner OF
later TO get upon the right side of every
moral question that comes up for settle
| ment and it is often the factor that un-
earths the misery and drops into it the
light of day. Illustrations are not far
| to seek. The struggle with the 10
| terry, the expose of the London Mino-
| taur, the conflict with the Louisville
gamblers, and with the ballot box stuff
ers in Chicago, all afford striking ex-
amples of the truth of this statement.

RUBS IT IN.
Rev. o. r.. jerks breaches a Hot
Sermon on Gambling.


Rev. o. r.. jerks breaches Hot
Sermon on Gambling.
Rev. Orrin R. jerks, of the Advent
Christian church, corner Fremont and
Twenty-fourtn avenues north. preached
last evening on the Gambling Cham
ber," a sermon full of earn
estness, in which he attempted to
show matters just as they are.
BY way of introduction, he sailed
into the saloons of this city, speaking
Of'those running concert halls as places
of prostitution, where man entering
is set upon by shameless women as by
bloOdSuckerS. He also charged that
saloons were run Sundays and many of
them all night.
The text was, Thou shalt not steal. :"
The preacher said: "Gambling, that is,
getting something for nothing, is steal
ing. 1t becomes a mania, and the VIC
tim ought to be incarcerated In a lunatlc
asylum. 1t is not new evil. Cards
were known in China before coming to
Europe. and history fails to locate their
origin. Ii is probable that they are the
invention of the devil himself. To give
an idea of the prevalence of gambling,
il is estimated that in the United States
alone $500, 900. 600 changes hands in this
vice every day.
The speaker then began an enumera-
ton of the different forms of gambling,
placing at the head of the list as being
the most vicious the race track. The
pool room came next. In this instance
the places were definitely located,
the speaker saying that in one
from three to five hundred young
men are to be found every day
and the others in proportion. They
not only receive the young men who
come to them of their own account, but
also send out advertisements for 9th
erS." A resolution will probably be in
troduced at the next council meeting
asking that the pool rooms be abol-
ished, but there is little hope of its
passing. Fashionable clubs came in
for rub. They are formed princi-
pally to avoid the laws, but are as dan
gerOus as the worst licensed place"
Finally church affairs were reached. and
here the speaker did not hesitate 10 tell
what he thought. "Many a young man
has been started on a gamblers career
ut church fairs or ratfies."

BURIED A WHOLE DAY.

den of sand and Timbers.
San Francisco Examiner
The funeral of Joseph Nelson took
place in Oakland last week, and when
the coffin was lowered into the grave he
was buried for the second time. The
first burial was twenty-seyen years ago,
when he was entombed alive at the
capture and explosion of Fort Fisher,
when he was buried in the debris for
tnirty-siX hours before he was found,
and then he was dug out for dead.
Joseph Nelson was then a lad of
twenty-onc,a volunteer in Company F of
the Sixteenth New York, and attached to
Gen. Benjamin F. Buffers division.
He was at the Storming of Fort Fisher
under Gen. Ames, with fleet under
the command of Admiral Porter. Fort
Fisher was captured, and when it was
evacuated by the Confederates the
magazine was fired, and when the Union
forces took possession the fort was
blown into the air and the Union troops
with it. Mr.. Nelson was buried many
feet under the ruins, and it was thirty
six hours before he was found.
He was paralyzed from the burial,
and became a sufferer from Sciatic
rheumatism for his entire life from the
effects OF the shock and exposure. He
never recovered. but was for time able
to perform the duties of conductor on a
light run Oh the Southern Pacific rail-
road.
Mr.. Nelson was not always willing to
tell OF his unusual experience of his be-
ing buried alive for such length of
time. He was very graphic in his ac-

has led the way in discussing, exposing
and strangling vices and crimes which
moral and religious organizations could
not touch. But this must not blind US to
radical faults of this great agency of
modern times. An Englishwriter declares
ANY American who cares for truth
ought to be willing to admit that the
newspaper in the United States is not a
satisfactory productions 1t is easy to
say, 'Oh, well, that is the opinion of an
Englishman, and he is preludiced,' but
there are Americans who look upon the
influence of the newspaper in this cOun-
try with the greatest apprehensions.
Its bill of fare is of questionable NOR
ality.
1t spreads before you all the murders,
suicides, Opponents, cases of conJugal
Intidelity, dog fights, prize fights, rob-
berries, etc, ad libitum ct ad nauseam /;
but treats with amazing meagerness
great moral and religious meetings and
movements. And this so persistently
that if one is inclined to dissent from
the opinion of u. Washington GLADDEN.
that the attitude of the average news
paper toward religion is one of
'cTim superiority.' he will accept
the opinion of A. ii. Siegfried that it
is one of friendly indifference And
In Its Sunday editions the newspaper
has done more for the secularization of
the Sabbath than any other agency.
Nor is this the opinion OF narrow,
Digoted preacher alone. Now what can
be done with this gigantic force, some
what bad and somewhat good, equivocal
in its moral tendencies and menacing to
religion in so far as Sabbath is con-
= cerned? l think well of the proposition
to endow newspapers as we do colleges,
and thus lift them TO be something
more than mere money makers. But
this monster is the product of the age,
neither better nor worse. 1t re-
fleets the state of society pretty
faithfully. Hence if you wish it i'm
proved you must improve the age. In
dividualS must better in order that the
age may be. Every citizen in a true
sense is part owner of the newspaper.
1t is like the great river that flows
through our city, which no man or COM
pany can wholly own. 1t is highway
for all the people. The remedy then is
with the people themselves. Let them
demand a better, cleaner and less
eQuivocal press and it will come"

This novelty is intended to start a
popular agitation against Sunday gov

be stopped if possible in the future. 1t
is said that large number of people
will post letters unnecessarily on Sun

many of these stamps are used.

Olson's Missing Hand Found on
the Top of a Barn.
Gust Olson's hand has at last been
found.
When the terrible explosion of last
Thursday took place and scattered the
unfortunate mans body in horrible
profusion for distance of four blocks
around the spot, it tore off both his
hands and arms and separated the for
mer from the latter. One of the hands
was found, but the other was deposited
in so obscure spot that, although
the search has been carried on ever
since, the missing member was
not found until about noon
yesterday. The force of the ex-
plOsion carried everything upward and
to the east, and in this direction the
search was prosecuted. Yesterday two
boys who climbed upon the roof of barn
on Adams street, two blocks from the
scene of the explosion, noticed a red OBJ
ject sticking near the ridge pole, and on
climbing up to the spot found it to be
human hand. The lads we're naturally
frightened and reported the find to
their parents. The hand was that of
Olson, and Was turned over to the I'M
dertaker to be buried. The hand was
clenched and been torn from the arm at
the wrist
