No japanese naval movement to the

SENSELESS WAR SCARE
British Cabinet Meeting Called
to Discuss Chinese Affairs.
MADAGASCAR BLOCKADE DENIED.

Mobs of Lawless Chinese Are Threatening
Europeans In the Hankow District since
the Chinese Troops Have Been Called to
the Front, and Serious Trouble Is Feared.
LONDON, Oct 4.-The Chronicle has au-
thority to state that the cabinet council
has reference not to Anglo French affairs,
but to the situation in China. The rela-
tions of England and Franco, 1t says, are
good, and it is doubtful whether they will
form the subject of any special or novel
discussion at today's council All this,
The Chronicle remarks, should serve rs n
warning against future panics. The coun-
try has been alarmed, the markets have
boon affected. kilograms have bccn flying
all over the world, and all for nothing.
Inquiries made at tho foreign Office
ELECTED the Information that the calling
of q cabinet council for today has no con-
nection whatever with the meeting of the
French cabinet today.
The relations between Great Britain
and France have certainly been strained
during the past six months since the at
tacks of the French press ON the Marquis
of Dufferin. the British ambassador at
Paris Numerous colonial questions have
also given rise to friction.
Although the government ministers
would no glad to seize upon an occasion
to discuss these matters, the cabinet would
not have been summoned but for the dan
gerOus appearance of tho situation in
China
The Marquis of Dufferin is still in the
north Of Ireland, and he will not return
until the end of the week. II the rela-
tions with Franco had been the cause of
the summoning of n cabinet council, Lord
Dufferin would certainly havo como to
London to consult with Lord Roscbery,
the premier. The Marquis of Ripon, the
colonial Secretary, arrived at the colonial
Office and held consultation with vari-
Gus officials connected with affairs in
China

The Indian Office has been in frequent
communication with the vicoroy and the
commander in chief of the forces in In.

He Was Once Tried For Heresy by the
Chicago Presbytery.
CHICAGO, Oct. l. - Professor David
Swing died here OF acute blood poisoning
brought on by an attack of jaundice.
Every possible restorative was applied in
vain.
Professor Swing was born in Cinoin-
natl Aug 90, 1880. At the age of Is tho
boy entered Miami university at Oxford,
O., graduating in 1852. In 1866 he no.
copied the pastorate of the Westminster
Presbyterian church Of this city. which
was later united with the North Presby-
terian church, the two forming the Fourth
Presbyterian church, ono of tho wealthiest
and most influential institutions of its
kind In Chicago.
Shortly after tho great Chicago fire OF
1871 occurred the most important event
in the great minister's eareer-his trial
before the Chicago presbyter on a charge
of heresy, preferred by the Rev. DIR.
Francis l.. Patton, now president oil
Princeton college. These charges, of which
there were rs specifications of lapses from
Presbyterian doctrines, were not sustain
ed, there being 81 members in the pres
bytery, and only IS voted against him
But the subsequent feeling was so bittel
that Professor Swing brought matters Il
u close by resigning his pastorate, a larg'
number of his friends going with him ant
| forming the Central church, In which
Professor Swing has since labored will
