CHINESE LOAN NOT FAVORED
Germans Opposed to English Sup
port of the Celestials-News
via Vancouver.

LONDON, Aug. 49, 1894.-The Tien Tsin
correspondent of the Times" says that
the North Chinese squadron, under Ad-
miral Ting, has searched the Gulf of
Pechili fer the Japanese fleet, but with
out success. The Admiral has reported
that the japanese have left those waters.
The "Pall Mall Gazette has this dis
patch from Seoul:-"By the special order
of their King, number of Coreans ac-
companied the Japanese troops to Yashan
and took part in the fight. Some of the
Coreans fled but most of them foughr
bravely.
1.-THE fact that they took part in the
fight is greatly remarked as showing
that the Corean King Sides with Japan
against his former suzerain.''
A despatch from Berlin says that the
''Vossische Zeitung' warns German
financiers against taking any part of the
proposed Chinese loan. To contribute to
the Chinese war fund, says the editor, Is
to support the cause of barbarism
against that of civilization.
The report that Germany might side
with England, giving positive moral sup
port to China is not regarded with favor
in Berlin. 1t is believed to be unfound-
ed, in fact, as the German Foreign Office
is following scrupulously a policy of alb
solute neutrality. There has been no
indication as yet. moreover, ina, ,nis
policy would be changed.

quested the arrest of every Japanese who
appears in Chinese costume, but in the
foreign settlements this has been re-
fused. Two Japanese were arrested as
spies yesterday on the French conces-
sion. They were arrested merely on ac-
count of their nationality, as the charges
against them were entirely groundless.
They are still in prison, awaiting the for
nation of proper tribunal to try
them"

AMERICAN CAPTAIN DROWNED.
Alaskan Miners in a PrecariOus SIT
uatiOn-The Arctic Wrecked.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. Is,
1S94.-Advices from the Yukon River dis
trict up to July l have been received
here. They state that Captain Lyon,
who was going down the Yukon to take
command of the steamboat p. B. Ware,
and four others, were capsized and
drowned at Five Finger Rapids.
The steamer Arctic, which was used
as a freight tender on the Upper Yukon
was caught in a gale about sixty miles
from St. Mfchaels Island and badly
damaged. She was compelled to return
for repairs, and there is no other avail
able vessel to take supplies to miners
on the Yukon River. There are, one
thousand one hundred miners there,
and if food is not sent at once it is
feared that much suffering will ensue.
Missions and trading stations along the
Lower Yukon River were greatly damag-
ed last year by the extreme high water.
The natives lost most of their winter
wood and were reduced to starvation.
Several new mining discoveries were re-
ported Commander Morgan of the Unit
ed States steamship Alert came down or
the ship Iroquois on account of illness,
and went to San Francisco.
Much anxiety is felt for the safety of
the steamer Aldion, which left Puget
Sound for st. Michael's Island early in
June with cargo of supplies for the
miners. Ordinarily the vessel should
have arrived at Unalaska early in July,
and at it's destination two weeks later.
Recent. abvices from both places say
that the steamship had not reached there

TWO NEW YORK SUICIDES.

NEW YORK, Aug. IS, 1S94.-An un-
known man about 95 years old, well
dressed, with dark hair and mustache,
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the breast near Grants Tomb,
in Riverside Park, at two O'Clock this
morning.
The only thing found on the dead man
to give any clue to his identity was a
slip of paper with the address No. 81
West 18th street.
The suicide was well built man and
to all appearances man of refinement
and intelligence.
Leopold Janowitz, a jeweler, 80 years
old, of No. 65 ST. Marks Place, COM
mitted suicide at his lone this morn
ing by& taking dose of carbolic acid.
The man was married and lived with
his wife and two children. He had been
out of work for nearly a year when he
secured place in a jewelry store near
his home. His wife says he was greatly
oyerjoyed on account of his good luck,
and his feeling can be imagined when
his employer told him yesterday that
on account of the dull times, he would
have to discharge him. Brooding over
his i'll luck probably caused him to end
his life

DOUBTS MILLER,s SUICIDE.
RumOr That He Had Been Censured d
Denied at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS, 1894.-Samuel B.
Griffith, assistant United States Attorney at
Altoona, Pa, telegr aphed the Treasury De
partment this morning with reference to the
tragic death of Bank Examiner Miller, that
it was doubtful whether Miller committed
suicide, as all the facts in the case seemed to
indicate.
Mr. Tucker the Deputy Comptroller of
the currency, said today that there was no
basis for the report that Mr.. Miller
had been censured for delay in
making public the exact condition
of the Second National Bank, whose affairs
b e was examining when he died. The COM
plants made against Mr. Miller for not giving
out information as to the prospects of the bank
for resuming business were not un-
usual, as in nearly every case of a
defunct bank depositors sought such
information, and were refused by the
examiner in charge who is un-
der instructions not, to tell the result of
his researches until he has made his report
to the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Miller adhered to this rule, although
importuued by wealthy depositors to
let them know how the bank
stood. Some of the depositors called
on the comptroller of the currency and COM
planned that Mr.. Miller would not tell them
enough about the condition of the banks af-
fairs Beyond this the Treasury Depart
met does not know of any criticism of Mr..
Miller'S management

RACE POSTPONED.
The Vig1lant's Centre Board
Wrecked on a Shoa1 In
the Needles.
THE DAMAGE IS SERIOUS
Why Mr.. Clarke, Owner Of the
Satinita, Was Blackballed-
Lady Lenox's Hand.
Bu CdbIe to the United Press.

TOTLAND BAY, Aug. 1S, 1S94.-The or
iginal intention of the committee in
charge of the match race between the
Britannia and the Vigilant, for the VOL
verton Cup, was to have the racers
out to the starting point by the steam
yacht Osborne and Mr.. Goulds Alta
lanta. There was enough breeze from
the rendezvous here under their own
sail. The Atalanta and the Osborne
preceded the racers. They were to have
been started from the Osborne, from
which they were to have been timed at
the finish.
Both yachts got under way at 10:30,
and passed the Needles half an hour
later. Britannia stood inshore, and in
Fresh Water Bay, Isle of Wight, just
to the asst of the Needles. The Vigilant
was then standing close to the Needles.
There were an impression on shore that
the boats were preparing to start. This
was soon dissipated. There seemed to
be some misunderstanding. The Vigi-
liant luffed up, lowered her topsali ana
took in her forestaysail. Boats put out
from the Osborne and the Atalanta and
were rowed to the Vigilant and the Bri-
tannia.
The result of the visit of the club boat
from the Osborne to the Britannia was
that the Prince Of Wales yacht sailed
Ddck 10 GOWoS. lHeT6 was OIL imp CO
sion that the Vigilant or the Britannia
had become disabled. AS the Britannia
returned home under SAIL 1t was sur
missed that the Vigilant was the unlucky
boat.
1t was the Vigilant that got into troub-
le. When she luffed up and lowered her fr
forestaysail and topsail, preparatory 10
returning to Cowes, her centreboard was
disabled. It probably struck, on a shoal
near the Needles when the sloop started
to round that point and make for the
open channel. The course today would
have been to windward from the royal
yacht Osborne, anchored fifteen miles
southeast of the Needles and back be-
fore the wind. The race was post
poned
The Vigilant's centreboard which was
held by patent gearing in the forward
part of the trunk, dropped out and went Il.

rino as Minister TO the United states mas
elected much comment from the ver-
nacular press, which is inclined to con-
meet 1t with Corean affairs. His appoint
nlent was urged by Count Inouye. 1t
was through Inouye that Corea came to
be regarded as an Independent power
by western nations
UNCLE SAM RECOGNIZED COREA.
The United States was the first west
ern power to recognize the independnce
of Corea, and send representative to
Seoul. Mr.. Kurino played consider
able part on this occasion. He is re-
garded as being intimately connected
with the problem of the independence
of Corea, and his present sudden appoint
ment is considered to be necessitated
by the present complications. Mr.. Ku-
rino is a graduate of Harvard College.
and his appointment is therefore re-
garded as being unusually well chosen.
THE WAR is POPULAR.
According to the. japanese papers, the
war is very popular with the mass OF
of the many instances in which this
spirit has been exhibited. The pupils Of
the fencing masters in japan are peti-
tioning the Government to form htem
into a corpse of swordsmen and send
them ito cut off the pigtailed heads of
the Chinamen." The japanese seaside
and mountain resorts are almost de,
to the absence of the many military and
naval officers, who are in the habit of
spending their furloughs in these sum-
that only 700 troops We're on the sunken
Kow Shing. According to report made
by q man who has returned from the
scene of the naval fight of the 25th ult.,
the suffering experienced by the Chinese
in the wreck of the transport was very
severe Several hundred corpses are now
floating along the shore of the island in
the neighborhood of Phungdo.
On the 9th ult., the King of Korea
was pleased to release some members of
distinguished families who had been i'm
prisoned since the rebellion of 1884.
A very promising seam of coal has
been accidently discovered in Sandakan,
China, of fine steaming power
The Japanese press is surprised and
indignant to find that in their own coun-
try there is native so treacherous and
devoid of patriotism as to attempt to
sell coal to China. The plot was dtscov-
cred and frustrated by Korean.
The Chinese Government has forbidden
the export of beans. This affects the in
terests of Japan in no small degree. Last
year Japan imported 160,000000 cattles,
worth 3,500,0O0 yen, mostly from China,
though some were from Korea. The ex-
port of rice from Shanghai is prohibited
except for the use of the troops or for
charity.

WHAT CAUSES THIS ?

The water in the reservoir at Summit
and Central avenues is so low that grass
can be seen growing from the bottom.
No water has been pumped into it for
over two weeks, and it is in such an
alarmingly low condition that people
passing by on the elevated road look
at it in horror and amazement.
From appearances there cannot be
more than five or six feet of water in it.
When full the reservoir holds from
twenty-six to twenty-eight feet of water.
