COksI.-GN.

The officials of the Chinese Govern
ment have made the apologies demanded
by the British Government officials for
the outrage committed by Chinese SOL
diers on board the British steamship
Chung King, in August last. The Chung
King was saluted by the guns of the
Taku forts, and the required apology
was made to the British Minister. On
Oct. 16 dispatch from Shanghai an
nounced that an ultimatum had been
sent to the Viceroy regarding the Chung
King affair. 1t demanded that within
seven days the Taotai Shcng be dismissed
and degraded, that the Chung King be
saluted with twenty-one guns from the
Taku forts, and that a money indemnity
be paid to the owners of the Chung King.
If these demands were not complied with
within the specified time the British Off
Gals threatened that the feet under the
command of Admiral Fremantle would
make reprisals, and it was believed that
steps had been taken to occupy the i'm
portant island of Chusan, which COM
mands the line of communication by sea
between the northern and southern prov
inces of China. The British occupied
this island in 1871, during the first war
between China and England. Eventu-
ally the Chinese Government succeeded
in recovering Chusan by giving up Hong
Kong in exchange.

The entombment of the remains OF tho
late Gar Alexander III. took place at
St. Petersburg Monday in the Cathedral
of st. Peter and st. Paul. A thick fog
envelOped the city, but the populace was

at the same time the troops detailed TO
take part in the funeral ceremonies COM
menccd moving toward the positions
assigned TO them. The cathedral was
packed with people, including representa-
tives of all the imperial and royal fam
lilies of Europe. The Gar and the Grand
Dukes and the members of the royal fam
lilies present took up positions on the right
OF the coffin, and the many military Off
GERS in attendance were grouped behind
the bier. On the left were the foreign
ambassadors and ministers and their
STATS. while grouped around in different
parts of the cathedral were countless
delegations from Russian cities and
elsewhere. including the numerous dele
cations from France. The Gar, the inn
perial family and the royal mourners
were received at the door of the cathe-
dral by the Metropolitan of St. Peters
burg and by all the members of the Holy
Synod bearing crosses and holy water.
The imperial party formed in n solemn
procession, which marched up the aisle
until the Gar and the other mourners
reached their appointed places.

CHAS. E. STRONG DEAD

UNION PASSES AWAY.
The Wei Known and Highly Esteemed
Had of the Largest Auxiliary Printing
Establishment In the World Succumbs
to Heart Paralysis.
Sketch OF HIS Life.

Charles Z. Strong. general manager of
the Chicago Newspaper Union and its
branches, died at his home in Chicago
early "Wednesday morning, paralysis of
the heart being the immediate cause Of
death, although his illness dates from the
time of the annual meeting of the Ty-
pothetae at Philadelphia in September.
While in attendance there he contracted
severe cold. This aggravated compli-
cation of heart and bronchial troubles
from which he had long suffered, and on
Nov. he was obliged to take to his room.
There were no particularly alarming
symptoms. not even on the day and even
ing of his death; in fact, his joyial spirits
had given the anxious ones hope of final
recovery At midnight, however, Mrs.
Strong was awakened by unusual rest
lessness on the part of her husband. and

NEW DIPHTHERIA TREATMENT.
Serum Greatly Reduces the Death Rate,
but L. Very Costly

Berum Greatly Reduces the Death Rate
bnt Il Very Costly.
Among the reports coming to the State
Department upon the new serum treat
mcnt for diphtheria is one from Consul
General Charles DeKay at Berlin, ex-
hioiting the efficacy of the new treatment
by comparison. He says that the estab-
lishment at Schering, near the Jungfern
Heide, has forty horses under treatment
for the production of serum. yet the de-
mand has been so great that the hospitals
ran out of it in September. This has a
singular effect on the death rate, which
in children under four, the most difficult
age, had sunk to IL per cent before the
exhaustion of the store of serum; it rose
during October to 60 per cent.
The serum is costly. because estab-
lishments for its production are few; it
takes a long while to prepare and must
be had comparatively fresh. 1t takes at
least nine months and sometimes q year
to get the animals-all under three years
old-into condition. One animal does not
furnish much blood at time-say two
quarts. 1t must be carefully fed between
dates of tapping, and as in time the
strength of its blood as q means of cure
gives out. it is necessary to go over again
the process Of cultivating the bacillus.
Absolute certainty is not ascribed to the
cure. and cases in which other diseases
are present should not be considered q
fair test Of its virtues.

a StriI<r Commission.

Considerable interest attaches to the
stand which the President will take in
his message to Congress regarding the
strike last summer. The appointment by
him of a commission TO Investigate the
occurrence, the report which its members
have submitted TO him, and the severe
criticisms which have been passed upon
his action by Gov. Altgeld of Illinois,
viii afford a text for referring to this i'm
portant event. 1t is expected that the
President will recommend the appoint
ment of permanent strike commission.
This has always been n favorite idea
with him., and as long ago as 1886, in
message TO Congress relative to the
Missouri Pacific troubles, he suggested
voluntary arbitration the best means
of settling disputes. Mr.. Cleveland also
argued in that message that such a
permanent commission would, by its
very existence, prevent strikes, would
have ample power to enforce its decis-
ions, and it could be easily engrafted
upon the Bureau Of Labor by the addi-
ton of two commissioners. 1t is thought
that in his approaching message he will
reiterate the views which he expressed
eight years ago, in which case legislation
by the present congress is not unlikely.

him, and as he did so heard two shots
behind him. Turning. he saw that Whit
worth had shot himself twice with ps-
tol. Whitworth was cool and collected
during the shooting and also after the af-
| fair, and expressed no regrets, but de-
sired to know if he had killed his man,
saying nobody who had treated him as
Allison had done could live in the same
country with him. The cause of the
tragedy was the failure of Allison to
settle or secure large sum due from him
to Whitworth for a money loan, said to
be about So, 900.

Story of His Life.
Charles e. Strong was born in Union
City, Mich, March %, 1871. His pa
rents were among the early pioneers of
that State, having located there in 1896.
In 1850 they removed to Milwaukee,
Wis, where, at the age of fourteen years,
their eldest son, Charles e., was appren-
dced to s. Nj. Booth, then publisher Of
sAo Odiiy Ice DeIuOcTdt, 10 learn the
printers trade, with whom he remained
for four years. Afterward Mr.. Strong
was engaged in the different newspaper
and job printing Offices in Milwaukee
until the year 1860, when he entered the
office of the Evening Wisconsin as COM
positor, and two years later was made
foreman of that establishment, which
position he held until October, 1870, when
he was sent to Chicago by his employers
to establish and put in operation the
Chicago Newspaper Union, which has
become, under his management and d.
rection, the largest auxiliary printing
house in the world. He had probably done
more to advance the ready print news
paper system than any other man in the
country, and was the pioneer in practical
work pertaining to that business, his
first experience in making up what is
termed patent inside" forms dating
back to the spring of 1864. Probably no
man in Chicago had q larger or more
agreeable acquaintanceship or was held
in greater esteem among the country pub
fishers Of the West than Charles Z.
Strong.
