WILL BE A MUTUAL FRIEND.
FRIENDLY OFFICES TO RE USED
 TOWARD CHINA AND JAPAN.

Consuis to Both Countries from Americs
 Received Instructions-Thcy Must not
 Grant tho Right of Asylum in the LeRa-
 tions and Consuiates.
 Washington. Sept. 1.-The acquies- cenee of the United States in the re- quest of both combatants in the east ern struggle to stand by as a mutuM friend to each. has now assumed deh- mite official shape. The state depart ment has instructed all diplomatic and consular officers In those countries to use their friendly offices In the protec- ton of Chinese subjects in Japan and Japanese subjects in China.
 The term good offices" Is not to be construed to mean the granting of right of asylum in the United States legatio and consulates and officers in the Amer ican foreign service are not to have the functions of consular officers of either Japan or China All the Chinese con- suls in Japan and the Japanese con- suls fin China have gone back to their respective countries and their interests are now practically in the hands of the Americans.
 A report that two Japanese subjects were given asylum in the consulate general of the United States at Shang- hai is contradicted by the consul gen eral in dispatch to the state de partment.

Successful Experiment Between Denver
 e Esnd Pike's Peak.
 Denver, Sept IA message was car ried, by signalling with sunlight, from the top of the Equitable building to the summit of Pike's Peak, sixty-six miles in an air line, yesterday. Several days ago sergeants McGlone, McLaugh- lin and Bisseli left Denver for Pike's Peak to make the experiment. This was the message which was flashed from the top of the peak:
 Pike's Peak, Sept. s.-To Captain Glassford, Denver: We greet you via sunbeam. Arrived at I p. m. yesterday; snow storm prevented our opening sta tion. (Higned)
 sssr 2 McGlone.
 Experiments will be continued at certain hours for three days of this week., at the end ot which the signal men will start for their attempt to flash a message from Mount Uncom- pahgre to Mount Ellen, 183 miles. The flashes of the mirrors on Pike's Peak could be distinctly seen by the naked eye during the transmission of the message. The peak was first called. from the Denver side, of the line, and within five minutes after the oper-r ators began their work came the re eponsA ' .ss ' j V.

FIGHTING FIRES IN cHAUTAU9UA.
Farmers Flowing Land to Hem in tho
 Flames.

fInturh.
 Buffalo, N. Y.. Sept. 4.-Forest fires are raging in portions of western New York. In Chautauqua county the flames are sweeping through meadows. woods and farms. reducing to waste every thing in their path.
 Pickets are posted to announce the advance of the fire. but It's velocity is such that the families have barely time to escape before their property is en- veloped in flames.
 Near Falconer the farmers have had to organize a bucket brigade to keep the flames from burning their houses and barns, but notwithstanding this, several farms have been laid waste.
 In Erie county. in the vicinity of Win dom. forest fire Is raging and unless rain comes soon great damage will be done. The fire started in the under brush and spread with frightful rapid ity.
 Farmers have turned out In body to plough the surrounding land and en- deavor to check the progress of the flames. The weather to-day is extreme ly hot and sultry all through this sec tion. with no sign of rain.
 Dunkirk, N. r.. Sept. 1.-The fierce forest fire now raging south of here threatens disaster to everything In Its path. Already thousands of dollars worth of property has gone up in smoke, and the work of destruction continues unchecked, notwithstanding the vigorous efforts of hundreds of men, women and children who are fighting the flames day and night.
 This morning the flames reached a point just south of Fredonia, and every available man in the village and sur rounding country is fighting the fiery demon. The village is practically with out fire protection, the water in the reservoir having been nearly exhausted on account of the long continued drought, and should the fire gain head way the entire town would be wiped out
 Fires are also raging on the Cavey farm, a mile south of this city, and much apprehension is felt on account of the high south wind now prevailing
 Reports from the surrounding coun- try are to the same effect. Everything is burning up and there are no indica- tios of rain. Farmers are in terrible predicament. Those who escaped the ravages of the grasshopper plague are now having their seasons crops de- stroyed by fire. The city is dense with clouds of smoke from the fire district and lake vessels of this port are keeping up constant footing of fog horns in order to prevent collisions.

WHAT BEGETy TRAMPS,
Professor McCook of Hartford Explains it
 in Ills Paper.

Professor McCook of Hartford Explains it
 in Ills Paper.
 Saratoga, Sept. 1.-The American So- cial Science association met this morn- ing with President Kingsbury in the chair. From g a. m. to 1 p. m. a con- ference on social science teaching was held, in which papers were read, among them being the following:
 "The Possibilities of Social Amelora- tion," by Prof John J. McCook of Trim ity college, Hartford.
 Professor McCook noted the great factors that are the stumbling blocks that cucumber the pathway of civilized life and social advancement at every tsep as hcentiousness, shiftlessness and intemperance, all leading to the de- generacy of the race, creating the great tramp evil and leading to pauperism and crime. z
 The statistics of American almshouses and prisons. said Professor McCook, show that 90 per cent. of their inmates are of intemperate habits. Like begets like, and weak and licsntious parents beget children who are condemned by the law of heredity to follow the foot steps of their parents. The homely word shiftlessness fully explains why 1t is that so many workmen who earn large per diem wages when working are soon penniless and seek town or charitable relief az soon as that labor Is cut short and the weekly pay Is cut off. Then the search for work com mences, and the man and his family, from honest people degenerate into tramps and the children sink lower and become depraved. They enter the ranks of inebriety.

Still After the Pullmans.

Chicago, Sept. l.-Attorney General Monoley is still after the Pullman n company. He has notified its attor- ney that he will appear before Judge Gibbons tomorrow and ask leave to file the amended petition in the quo war ranto proceedings which the company is asked to show cause why 1t should not forfeit its charter. The reasons given are that the company sells gas and wa ter without proper authority, and also
 does a good business in supplying steam heat to residents at a large price. The company's right to speculate in lands is denied: also its privilege of operating brick plant. The sale of liquor at the Pullman hotel is held to be direct violation of the law. In ad- dition to these tho charges in the orig inal petition are renewed.

4 SENsATIOSAL RACE.
Fanny Wilcox Made New Record at the
 Fleetwood Track.

Fleetwood Track.
 New York. Sept. S-Threatening weather tended to reduce the attend ance at Fleetwood park to-day and not more than 1000 persons witnessed the second days races of the grand circuit trotting meeting. The track was not In so good condition as 1t was the day before. still the average rate of speed was almost as good as on the opening day.
 The first race furnished the sensation of the meeting thus far and It's out come was one of the biggest surprises of the grand circuit of 1894. OroWilkes. the California colt that took a record of 2:l1 at Terre Haute fortnight ago. was favorite before the start. selling for sl0O against s15 for Miss Lida and $5 for the field. When Miss Lida won the opening heat in PISA. with Orc Wilkes away in the rear, the odds re- mained almost unchanged, Goldsmith having made no effort with the favorite. and Gro sold for $100 against $40 for the field. In the second heat Gold smith made his drive for the lead just beyond the half-mils pole. Gro mo- mentarily went to the front but Miss Lida came again near the three-quar- ters, and in spite of one of Gold smiths most artistic drives the vest ern mare forged ahead in the home- stretch. beating the black colt out by more than q length.
 There was a rush to hedge by the players who had backed Orc Wilkes heavily at the start, and before the third heat Miss Lida sold for $10O against $50 for the field. She was ap- parently a sure winner, but Fanny Wilcox came up from a rear rank and with a grand burst of speed snatched the lead at the outset and holding 1t all the way to the wire, won in 2:13, a new record for the Connecticut mare.
 Miss Lida was tired and accounted out of the race, but Orc Wilkes again became favorite and sold for even money over the field. The daughter of Jerome Eddy gave him sound beating, however in the two succeeding heats landing them both with something to spare. while the colt was driven out to the last ounce by Goldsmith, whose money was on his own horse.
 There were nine starters in the 2:1s class and Ralph Wilkes was hot fa- vorite at s10 to $2O over the field. The Boston horse made straight heat race of 1t going alone in the rear until the half-mile in the opening heat, when Golden began his drive and the colt cut down his opponents as if they were a lot of 2:S0 trotters, gaining the lead at the head of the home-stretch and fin- ishing in PISA. After this he was barred in the betting and was not after ward bothered in the least, landing the next two heats in 2:15h and 2:16h.
 Goldsmith did not make move with Lesa Wilkes until the last heat, but when he did so the brown mare could do nothing with Ralph Wilkes Red Bud was hot favorite for the three year-old race, selling at $10O to $25 over the field. He far outclassed all the others and won every heat with a lot to spare.

Tho Mxsterx neapsua.

| Providence, R. T., Sept. 1.-The mys- tery about the murder of Mrs. Susan A. Potter of Rice City was deepened last night when her husband returned and learned of the crime. There were some who suspected Potter, but his grief was so apparently genuine that it caused revultion of the feelings, and there are few now who believe him guilty. The bullet was taken from the woman's head to-day, and though it is somewhat battered it is apparently of 32-calibre. Potter had revolver of that size, which he gave up last night upon his return home.

 St Johns. NE. Sept +.-Considerabla apprehension is felt hsvs for tha steamer Miranda. which should have reached Sydney last week. She left here with the Cook Arctic expedition for Greenland on July 14. She returned two days later for repairs. having struck an iceberg and stove her bow.
 She left again on July 27 and has nod been heard from since. It is feared that she has met with some accident, as iron steamers like the Miranda ara entirely unsuitable for Arctic naWga- tion.
