TO PRESERVE NEUTRALITY.
Cleveland Decides to Unite With
Great Britain and Other Powers.

New York, Aug. "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
President Cleveland has practically de-
cided to unite with Great Britain, Ger
many and Italy to preserve forcibly the
NEUTRALITY of what are known as the
/ treaty ports of China during the war.
The Chinese government has been fully
informed OF this intention, and it is un-
derstood the emperor viii submit without
protest to their forcible occupation of his
principal ports.
1t is not a question of pride with him,
but of prudence. He realizes he is in no
condition to resist the policy of the Euro
pean nations and that an empty remon-
STRANGE would do more good than harm.
The Japanese government assents
cheerfully to the arrangement, and has
animated that similar occupation CT her
principal commercial ports would meet
no resistance.
The plan was suggested by the British
premier. but the negotiations have been
mostly conducted in washington by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor. Baron Won Sauerma-Jeltsch. the
German ambassador Baron Fava, the
italian ambassador and Secretary Ores

REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
Damage Done to Corn Has Been
Overestimated.

Omaha, Aug. 3.-The Burlington, to-
day, issued what is regarded as an ac-
curate estimate of the crop situation in
Nebraska, South Dakota, and Northern
Kansas. through General Passenger
Agent Francis. He says:
1T is encouraging to note that the
damage done to the corn, especially
along the lines of the B. & NJ, is not so
serious as reported. The heat and de-
lay of rain in different corn belts, of
course, gave a bad outlook for the
growing crop, still my experience has
always been that the first reports re-
ceived are usually exaggerations, ard
these have been no exception to the rule
this year.
He predicts a good railroad tonnage
this fall, and while he does not look for
any phenomenal boom, he expects a
good deal more than was warranted a

was at its height.

SLEEPING CARS DISCUSSED.
Text Was Furnished BY Representa-
tive Brickner's Bill.

Washington, Aug. S-The HOUSES COM
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, devoted an hour today to the
discussion of the sleeping car system.
For text, it had Representative
Brickner's bill, which %as introduced
during the Chicago strike, and which
provides that after January 1, 1895, rail-
road companies engaged in interstate
shall own or control by lease
all sleeping cars used on their roads or
branches operated or controlled by
them, and fixing a penalty of $40 day
for failure to comply in each case.
Several members spoke in favor of the
principles embodied in the bill
Members of the committee believe a
measure of that kind will be reported
which will include dining cars and all
palace cars, but the time will doubtless
be extended to 1896 with a view to Civ
ing the companies time to adjust their
business to the change.

That There VIII Be More Serious
Trouble in Omaha.


Trouble in Omaha.
Omaha, Aug, S-Though Adjutant
General Gage has been on the ground
tonight, there is little evidence of.
trouble The strikers held meetings at
various places tonight, and they dis
patched men to Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City to report the situation
there. If it is found the men are not
out in these places, the strikers here
will call a meeting to discuss the situa-
ton, and submit a new proposition to
the packers with the clause which
states, ''They will not go back until all
differences are settled in Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City"
Should this be done, it will be the
key to the settlement of the differences
in very short time, and the settlement
may be had and the strike declared off
by Monday morning. However, should
they hold out and the butchers union
object to this clause being eliminated,
no further negotiations will be possible
with the packers at this point, and the
war will be fiercer than ever with the
probability that the strikers places will
be filled by men from other points, thus
defeating the strikers.

FURY OF A CLOUDBURST.
Seven or Eight Persons Swept Away
and Drowned Near Trinidad, Col.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug, 3.-Last night,
there was cloudburst in the hills
above Berwind, and the water came
down the canyon leading to that place
in such volume that a party of five per-
sons, who were caught on the road,
were swept away and drowned. c.
Cando, the mail carrier between Chicosa
station and Berwind, on the arrival of
the Gulf train from Denver at Chicosa,
secured an Italian miner, wife and two
children as passengers for Berwind.
They had just entered the canyon when
the storm came upon them and so
quickly came the rush of water that
they were unable to escape. A search
ing party at once started out and by
evening most of the bodies had been
recovered.

NEAT POINT OF LAW.
Chinese Who Served ON the Charles

Rac-tSter


San Francisco, Aug. 3.-Local authori-.
ties of the federal government are
wrestling with the cases of eight Chi
nese employed as servants on the Uni
ted States steamship Charleston, who
ask to be registered under the recent
Chinese exclusion act. During all the
time The Chinese in this country were
being registered under the new law, the
Charlestons coolies were serving on
that vessel in Brazilian waters. The
time for registration having long since
elapsed, Revenue Collector Welburn re-
fuses to accept their applications. He
says such action would leave loop
hole for hundreds of Chinese who might
claim to have served on American ships
during the period of registration. Uni
ted States District Judge Morrow now
has the case under consideration. When
the Mongolians sail forOChina on the
Charleston they want to claim Aneri-
can citizenship.

Hints to Housekeepers.
Do not attempt to extinguish the
flames of blazing oil with water, it will
only make them Worse. Pour corn meal
or -four quickly over them, or throw
over rug, or anything handy that will
exclude the air.
New shoes can be worn with as much
ease as old ones if they are stuffed in
the shape of the foot with cloth or paper
and patiently sponged with hot water.
Or if they pinch in some particular spot,
a cloth wet with hot water and laid
across the place will cause immediate
and lasting relief.
To keep tortoise shell combs bright rub
them after each wearing with soft leath-
err When they become dim clean with
rotenstone and oil applied with channels.
Gum arabic and gum tragacanth in
equal parts dissolved in hot water make
the best and most convenient mucilage
you can keep in the house.
A French authority on cooking
gives these rules for testing the heat OF
an oven: Try it with piece of white
paper. If too hot the paper will blacken
or blaze up; if it be comes a lighter
brown it is tit for pastry; if it turns
dark yellow, it is fit for bread and the
heavier kinds of cake; if light yellow
the oven is ready for sponge cake and
the lighter kinds of desserts.

THETWo MOUNTS.
BY FATHER RYAN.

There are transitions in the lives of all,
There are transcendent moments when
we stand
In Thabor's glory with the chosen
And weak with very strength of human
love
We fain would build our tabernacles
there;
And, Peter-like, for very human joy
We. cry aloud: "'Tis good that we are
here"
Swift are these moments, like the smile
of God,
Which glorifies a shadow and is gone.
And then we stand upon another
mount
Dark, rugged Calvary; and God keeps us
there
For awful hours to make us there his
own
In crucifxion's tortures; tits his way.
We wish to cling TO Thabor. He says:
"No."
And what he says is best, because most
true.
We fain would fly from Calvary; he says:
mo"
And it is true, because it isthe best.
And yet, my friend, these two mounts
are the same.
They lie apart, distinct and separate,
And yet-strange mystery they are the
same.
For Calvary is Thabor in the dark,
And Thabor is a Calvary in the light.
1t is the mystery of Holy Christi
1t is the mystery of you AID mel
Earth's shadows moves, as moves Tar
Heavens sun,
And, like the shadows of dial, we
Tell darkly, in the vale, the very hours
The sun tells, brightly, in the sinless
skies.
