Chinese Officials Attack Ii Hung
Chang, the Viceroy.
ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION AND STEALING
A Conspiracy Alleged Of Traitors
to the Empire.
RETURN OF MISSIONARIES

LONDON, November 2S.-According to a
dispatch from Shanghai, a. sensation has
been caused there by a memorial to the
throne. signed by over 100 high officials,
impeaching Ii Hung Chang and charging
him with corruption, peculation and decep-
ton.
The memorial also says that Ii Hung
Chang rejoiced at the Japanese victories
and prevented the Chinese from achieving
success. He is said to have represented
that China was prepared for war when he
knew that the contrary was the case.
Ii Hung Chang is also said to be impli-
Gated with Prince Kung, the emperor's
uncle, and president of the Tsung LII va
men, and president of the admiralty. who
was recently appointed dictator, and with
the Iaotai and the commander OF the Chi
neSe forces at Port Arthur.
These three officials are said by the sign
ers of the memorial to be guilty OF high
treason and of selling state secrets and war
material to the enemy. They are further
charged with investing money in Japan
and with harboring reasonable designs
against the Chinese empire and with con-
spring to procure the overthrow OF China
The memorial demands the instant pun
ishment and dismissal Of all concerned In
the conspiracy.
Port Arthur Considered Impregnable.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 2S.-Tho
Oceanic brought over dozen missionaries
frcm various parts of China. Among them
was DR.. II. p. Blodgett of the American
board of foreign missionaries, who has been
engaged in missionary work in the orient
for forty years. He does not believe there
is any danger to missionaries or other for
eigners in China, and Is returning for a
holiday. He says the murder OF Mr.WyNe
was the only act of violence committed.
The Chinese, he says, considered Port
Arthur impregnable, and 1t was as strong
ly fortified as ingenuity could suggest. he
believes the Japanese will capture Pekin,
although the troops must march thirty
days to reach the Chinese capital. The cap
ture of Port Arthur will give easy trans
portation to japanese troops. The ulti-
mate aim of the Japanese Is to acquire
more territory.
A United States naval officer who came
over on the Oceanic says never In any war
has such patriotism been shown as that
evinced by the Japanese. Rich and poor
have contributed to the war fund and en-
rolled themselves members Of the Red
Cross Society, in the ranks of which are
royal princes and mobiles. The society has
hospitals in every part of the empire, and
has done fine work on the field Of battle.

The Other Side.

The other side OF tho case. 1t must be
confessed, ID vague and indefinite regarding
details. 1t consists. as far as have been
able to ascertain, in complete denials Of do
ception or intention to defraud. Mr.. Har-
rison Dingman Is generally believed, as be-
fore stated, to be in entire ignorance of the
methods followed by the agents in charge
of the branch Offices of the company. Mr..
Andrew Wall stated with positiveness to
me when / saw him this afternoon that
Mr.. Dingman knew absolutely nothing
about the work of the branch offices, and
had nothing whatever to do with 1t. Mr.
Wall was very much exercised over his
humilating position. He was walking
around the narrow platform that ran along
the sides of an oblong cell room, giving
access to the ten cells on the tier. Four
tough-lookng men were taking exercise at
the same time. He was certain that his
arrest and the others was brought about
by persons engaged in a conspiracy against
him. When / asked him to state the OBJ
jects Of the company, he said they were
abundantly set forth in the contracts en-
tered into with certificate holders, which
have been sufficiently explained in The
Star heretofore

Two Sample Victims.

While talking with the detectives at police
headquarters this morning a woman came
in who had certificates in both the Fidelity
Company and its successor. the Columbia.
She wanted her money. Her appearance
bespoke humble surroundings. and she was
poorly dressed. In the afternoon while at
the same place, another younger repre-
sentative Of the same class came in on a
similar mission with a Fidelity certificate.
Both said they had applied to take out
their money some months ago. but had
gotten no satisfaction after repeated in
Quirtes abou. 1t. One Of the women. named
Purroy, said friend of hers had lost her
standing in tho company because the col
lector had not called to get the money, and
when she went to the local offices of the
company, in the Ferguson building here.
she was told that she had lost her invest
ment by failure to pay the regular dues.
The woman in question will be found and
her testimony used.

THE USE OF WAR.

Civilization weeps when nations are forced
10 settle their differences by the stern appeal
to cold steel. but the war now in operation
between China and Japan may do more to ad-
vance the eau Sc of progress and humanity in
the Orient Ian all the other forces combined
which have been set in motion during the
past halt century.
The Chinaman is like child: he learns
quickest from object lessons. While China
has hidden from the rest of the world behind
her great wall, Japan has become e'imbued
with the thought and advancement OF the
Ocoidenr, and she has been quick TO seize
upon European ideas to forward her material
welfare. While China's ships and guns are
slow and old, Japan has modern cruisers and
rapid-fire rifles. The music of Gatlings and
the roar of shells may not sound pleasant in
the ears of Celestial mandarins, but it will
serve to remind Them that the genius Of the
new world is a more potent factor In the des-
tiny of nations than the torpor of Asiatic bar.
barism.
Krupp guns. smokeless powder, and arm
ored cruisers are the nineteenth century SYM
bols of progress and civilization. war in
the East may impress these facts upon China
and hereafter cause her to entirely change
her relations with the rest of the world.

Chairman Sayers, of the House Committee

OF the present Congress. including permanent
appropriations, show, according 10 Mr..

under the appropriations made at the last ses-
sion OF the Fifty-frst Congress, and, deduct
ing the amount of the river and har5pr bill,
l.i73, ls0. which should be done for the
purpose OF comparison. inasmuch as no river
ana harbor bill was passed by the last Con-
gress at its last session. the reduction is : 40

The bills, including deficiencies. as passed
by the House made a reduction under the

the appropriations made during the two ses-
sions Of the last Congress S175. 1876, ,6lS were
the result of those laws, and that only S127,-
309,lll were appropriated at both sessions OF
the Fifry-frst Congress, under those laws
which it passed. entailing such enormous OBJ
legations upon its successors.
During the present session OF Congress the
salaried list of the government has been re-
duced by more than 600 in number and over
800. 900 in annual cost and more salaries
