his prophecy will be found fulfilled.

this prophecy will be found fulfilled.
 In Human there is deep feeling against the present dynasty because of it's favor shown to foreigners. Human is the seat of a set of fanatics who would rejoice to see every European thrown out of China. In this province have occurred the worst outrages on Christian missionaries, and anyone journeying up the Yangtse retains vivid recollections of the showers of stones and obscenity that descended upon his house-boat from the ne1gh- boring banks. Intercourse with foreigners seem only to intensity the popular hatred of the European inter lopers, who, they think, are encouraged by the young Emperor and his advis- CTS. The worst feature of the situa- tion is that the central government does not dare to rebuke the insolence of the Human people. This has been shown repeatedly in recent years, but the most conspicuous instance was the failure to punish Chou Han, the author of the infamous Human tracts against Christianity, which caused all the peril and suffering of missionaries in the Yangste valley. This man was proved to be the author of these tracts melt ing people to murder Christian mis- sionaries, and the very blocks on which they were printed were found in his house, but he escaped on the spacious pretext, trumped up by the governor of Chang Gnu, that the man was insane, and therefore beyond the reach of the law!
 Again in the recent Suneku massacre of two Swedish missionaries the viceroy of Human was first insolent, then procrastinating, and finally, when forced to act, cunningly made scapegoats of some of the best native friends of the missionaries. He then dilated on the thoroughness of his work and the impartial punishment dealt out. Everyone recognized the mockery of the thing, but as no European could follow out an investi- gation his report had to be accepted. Since then elaborate protests have been nled With the Iaung-ll Yamen against the injustice of the proceed ing.
 In any other country than China such acts would have resulted in the degradation of the guilty officials, but the governor of Changcha and the viceroy of Human are both in office and complacently defy their foreign critics.
 It is from Human, therefore, that we may expect to see the first uprising against the present dynasty. There are already rumors of serious trouble. but no one can ascertain the facts, be- cause the province is closed to Euro peans, and the few native Christians dare not tell what they know for fear of the vengeance of the officials.

Bought at Close Range.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 1S.-A special from Birmingham. Ala., to the Republic, says: A fatal duel occurred near Northport, Ala, between John and Alexander Tyler, brothers, today. Both were planters and their plantations ad. joined. They quarreled few days ago about the location of line Of fence and today the difficulty was renewed. Hot words were followed by blows and finally both drew pistols and fired at close range. They continued shooting until both had emptied their revolvers. John was wounded three times and Alexander received two bullets. John died and the other is expected to die. The only witnesses to the duel were the sons of the dead men.

A HATED EMPEROR.
Ill Feeling Existing Between the Chinese Ruler and His Subject
The Speedy Downfall of the Present Dyn- asty Prophetically AnnOunced-The Country to Be Divided Into
 Three Kingdoms.

Reports of serious revolt against the present Chinese government in Manchurin and the issue of proclama- tions by the rebels declaring that the Manchu dynasty is near its end have created great deal of interest among the foreign colony in the treaty ports, says letter from Shanghai. News that bears directly upon the reported disaffection in many provinces of China comes from Nanking. It appears that all up through the great valley of the Yangtse finely written prophecy of the approaching end of Manchu rule is being circulated. It is almost impossi- hle for foreigner who has not lived ifEhina to understand the importance that is given by the gentry to anything which is well written or carefully printed. If such document does not strongly violate the probabilities it will be accepted as Gospel truth.
 This prophecy, says the Chicago Tribune, appears to be firmly believed by all the Chinese who have read it. It purports to have been written by Huan Peh-Shan, who in a vision describes the downfall of the present govern ment. It shows considerable literary ability, but anyone who is skeptical may readily see that the author has thrown in local detail to clinch his prophecy.
 The sketch of the emperors of China is very well done, but this historical in- troductlon appears to have been writ ten merely to Hull the suspecions of the reader and to induce him to accept the sensational statements about the com ing ruin of the Manchu dynasty. The prophet declares that the great prov inces of Yunnan and Kueichou are the first that will abandon the empire. After this China will be divided into three kingdoms, but this will not take place and permanent peace will not be secured until the woods are cleared from Purple mountain and the waters of Lotus lake are dried up. The spacious nature of such prophecy may be seen when it is stated that about all the forest has been cut off of Pur- pie mountain, while in dry years one may walk over the bed of Lotus lake, which is converted into solid ground. Any season of drought may therefore be taken by the conspirators with the assurance that the two main items of

 Trick, but Escape.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-A new scheme of wire tappers was discovered here through the vigilance of the Western Union officials. The company supplies the outside racing information for the Alexander Island and St. Asapha, Va., pool rooms. The company discovered that connection had been made with it's wires on the long bridge. A thin wire ran down from a pole on the out side of the bridge flooring and was there caught by a brass piece with spring atta a:hment. Inserted into this piece was cable wire securely held by the spring. The men who made the dis covery began pulling on the cable and found that It led to sail boat 100 yards out in the river. The two occu- pants being thus warned hastily cut it. The police and the telegraph officials gave chase, but were unable to ap- prehend them. So far as known the men had not succeeded in sending any information to their confederates.

WHAT THEY WILL DO.
Important Matters to Be Discussed
by the Council Tonight.
The Terminal Facilities Plan VIII
Again BE the Subject for Pro-
tracted Debate.

The session of the Common Council this
evening promises TO be protracted by de-
bate on the amendment TO the resolution
opposing the terminal facilities plan for
the new Union depot presented by the
Consolidated railroad provided that
train-sheds are made part OF the
plan. The Council passed resolu-
tion at the last meeting directing
the committee on terminal facilities
TO request that corporation to furnish
such plans, but SO far as is known there
is no prospect OF any report from that
source. The resolution with the amend
ment was laid on the table two weeks ago
and there is a determination on the part OF
many members TO revive the issue tonight
and secure thorough and exhaustive ex-
planation of the relations of the
corporation and the city. There
among the majority as affecting the obli-
cations of the railroad to provide track
shelter and as business proposition
they insist upon an object les
son" as guarantee OF good
faith on the part of the rail-
road. OF course the argument will be
forthcoming that il the rider is tackled on
the resolution, the Consolidated will sus
pend operations and the deadly grade
crossing will not be abolished, but the
City Council is doubtless aware that il is
clothed with sufficient authority to not
only demand the addition of the train
sheds but also to force the corporation to
take up its tracks at grade IL ii insists
upon its dilatory policy. IL mas been
insinuated that, owing TO differences of
opinion in the city government, the settle
ment OF the problem of terminal facilities
has been pending for more than decade,
and that this Is the first time that
either a commissioner or committee
has been able to secure something sub
stantiai and adequate in the way of ter
minal plan. This may be regarded rs a
powerful reason why the city should
swallow the bait thrown out to it, but II it
is true that the delay has resulted
in a far preferable plan then no harm can
result from insisting that it should be
complete and satisfactory in all OF its de-
tails and in conformity with the pledge
under which the Consolidated secured its
franchise.

Expert brokers in the bond market
claim that not in months has there been

Review of the Market.
London prices came in about steady
Saturday morning and the local market
opened generally firm in tone with busl-
ness very limited in volume. AS has beeh
the case for several days past
Sugar was the leading speculative
feature, the stock opening higher
and Immediately gaining about
u on purchases which proceeded from
shorts and local buyers. There was moth
ing in the way oftariff news, but gossipin
the crowd rather indicated belief that no
change is expected in the coming divi-
dend. For the balance of the list an un-
expectedly strong tone was developed
for the Granger shares, st. Paul moving
up rapidly after the publication of earn
ings for last week and month of February
which showed considerable decrease in
gross, but not so large loss
as had been predicted. The
bank statement showed that the banks
have gained over 81 ,00o, 900 in surplus re-
serve and now hold 75A millions in excess
OF legal requirements. For the remainder
OF the dealings the market continued
strong and closed with gains ranging
from q to 15s per cent. for Sugar, the
Changers and General Electric.
The developments this week as to tariff
matters, gold exports and the Sugar divi-
dend will be important in determining
the character of the fluctuations, but
feeling of growing confidence Is noticeable,
and there appears to be gradual increase
i'm the disposition to buy ON reactions.
The speculation, however, continues pro-
fessional in character and it may be some
time before definite tendency is devel-
oped.
Gossip of the Market.
Erie securities strong on reports of with
drawal Of opposition.
