TACOMA, September 1.-THE Execu-
tive Committee of the Interstate Fair
has yielded to the public demand and
made 25-cent rate of admission to the
fair for evenings and Sundays. The reg
ular rate of admission throughout the
day is to remain at 90 cents, but in the
evening and all day Sundays the price
of admission is to be 25 cents. This rate
begins at once. The people and the con-
cessionaires have been clamoring for a
lower admission. This trial is made as
an experiment. / the fair does not
continue to pay expenses, the trustees
say the straight 50-cent rate will be re-
stored. Many believe the attendance
will be more than proportionately in
creased.

SALUTE AT MIDNIGHT.
why the Attack on Wei Hal Wei Proved
Failure.

New YORK, September 1.-THE fol-
lowing remarkable message in the origi-
nal has been translated by a japanese
gentleman in New York. 1t was sent
by special japanese correspondent
serving with the fleet in the Gulf of Pc
Chi Ii to the newspaper in Japan which
he represents, and the name of which is
for obvious reasons withheld. The Jap
anese government, which exercises a
strict censorship over all news relating
to the war, prohibited its publication.
1t is dated "With the Japanese feet be-
fore Wei Hal Wei, Gulf of Pc Chi Ii,
August 12:"
-"At II O'Clock yesterday morning, Au-
gust II, our feet, consisting OF twelve
men-of-war and feet of six torpedo
boats, took advantage of the darkness OF
the night and crept into the harbor at
Wei Hal Wei unknown to the Chinese IN
the forts and vessels. Six torpedo boats
were sent out with the purpose OF blow
ing up the Chinese warships anchored
within. The feet was proceeding in the
wrong direction, and then, discovering
their mistake, they turned back, changed
their course and made straight to the
place where the Chinese lay in safety.
When midway British man-of-War,
which was anchored there, fired salute
for the Japanese vessels, a very unusual
thing to do in such circumstances. Upon
this all the electric and search lights at
the forts were lighted in an instant, and
soon all the forts were in activity. An
exchange OF shots for over an hour iol-
lowed. Seeing that the plan to take the
Chinese by surprise had fallen through
on account of the salute from the British,
and further firing being of no avail, the
Japanese retired. AS the torpedo, fiotilla
was returning, Chinese torpedo. boat
discharged a torpedo againstit, but failed
to do any damage, and for its trouble was
instantly rewarded by being sunk by a
torpedo discharged from one of the Jap
anese boats. The salutes from the Brit
ish vessels cannot but be regarded as a
signal to make the slumbering Chinese
know of the presence OF the japanese,
as it is not customary to fire salutes at
the dead of night"

VARIOUS INDIAN AGENCIES.

Sioux the Largest TriDe anu usage inc
Richest.
SAN Francisco, September E.-C. Q.
Duncan, one OF the five United States
Indian inspectors appointed to travel
and investigate the various Indian agen-
cies, is in this city. Inspector Duncan
has lust returned from Round Valley,
where G. 600 acres of land have been APP
.portioned to 500 Indians. He says the
most of the reservation has little value,
being composed largely OF hills. Some
of it has been sold at low price. The
business of the agency is pretty well
closed, the Indians having been put in
nearly self-supporting condition. In
spector Duncan has been visiting great
many agencies on this Coast and else
where lately. He says that last year the
statistics of the Indians showed that they
had increased instead of decreased for
the first time in twenty years. He
added:
1.-THE reason is that they are relying
on themselves, The Sioux constitute
the largest tribe-some II ,000-that are
under the government. The Osages are
the richest people in the world. There
are but $40 of them, but they have 81
600, 900, which brings them in an interest
of $3.50, 600 a year. Besides this they
own large area of profitable lands.
The Occur d'Alenes of Idaho are the
most civilized of any except the Chero-
KEGS. They live in good houses, and are
otherwise advanced from the sale OF
their lands some time ago. They re-
ceived $3.50, 900 or 81 100 for every man,
woman and child; so they are well
fixed"

TOO PROUD TO BEG.
The Child Dead and the Mother Dying
From Starvation.

CAMDEN, N. j., September 1s.-Mrs.
Kate Massey, her three-year-old child
and her infant weresfound starving yes
terday in their house in Westminster
avenue, Stockton, near Camden. A
month ago Mrs. Massey's husband died
while undergoing an operation in Phila-
delphia hospital; two weeks later Mrs.
Massey gave birth to a child. She was
left destitute, but she would not ask for
aid, and her neighbors did not know her
condition until yesterday, when Over
seer of the Poor John Renner visited her
house and found her and the children
apparently dying. Mr.. Renner immedi-
ately summoned DR.. 0. L. Greembrecht,
but the doctor said the woman and her
children were too exhausted to recover,
but he took them in hand Immediately.
The infant died soon afterward. Its
death was entirely due to lack of nourish-
ment. Mrs. Massey can live but few
days at the furthest, and the other child
is very low. The mother had starved
herself and given the trifiing food she
had to her older children.

SAN FRANcIsco, September 1.-THE
first damages growing out Of the colli-
sion between the steamers Oceanic and
the City of Chester have been paid by
TIE Occidental and Oriental Steamship
Company to the families of the victims.
The accident occurred in 1888 in San
Francisco harbor. Suits were brought
in behalf of the six minor children OF
Columbus Davis and of three other chill
dren, whose parents were drowned. The
iury awarded the Davis children $40, 900,
and the steamship company appealed
the case. The appeal is still pending,
but the company finally decided to pay
the claim in full. The results OF the
other suits hinged on the decision in the
Davis case, and they, too, have been set
tied. In all 500, 900 has been paid out
80 far by the company.

HIS POLITICAL TESTAMENT.


LONDON, September 1.-THE political
testament of the late Comte de Paris
was made public to-day. The document,
which is very brief is dated Stowe House,
July 81, 1894, and says:
GAS had no knowledge of my future,
l would not attempt to trace a line of
conduct for my son, feeling with perfect
confidence that he will always uphold
the traditions of our house, which are
love for France and the faithful dis
charge of all the duties incumbent upon
him. | hope that France will soon be
reunited, all parties finding basis of
common agreement under the traditional
monarchy. If l went to Frohnsdorf in
1878, it was to show my respect to the
hereditary Prince. Since then | have
tried to deserve the confidence of my
party by fighting, although an exile,
zealously for France"
The document concludes by express
ing his trust that God has not abandoned
France, to whom he gave Saint Louis
and jeanne dare. He felt certain that
France will return to her old religion,
and meanwhile he could only hope for
the unity of all existing parties. He
was sure that his friends would under
stand that this was a necessary condi-
ton and precedent to all they hoped for.

PossibIe-There May be Some Testi-
mony That Will Embarrass Her.
New YORK, September 17.-Ward Nc
Allister believes in the old saw that
forewarned is forearmed," and when
Mrs. Mccall brings her suit for breach of
promise against the son of the famous
leader of the 400, there may be some
testimony that will embarrass her. Nc
Allister, Sr., has been gathering evidence
with assiduity that proves that he is good
for something more than model for
those who wish to be in the swim. He
has learned that Mrs. Mccall has rather
an unenviable st. Louis record, and two
well-known men of that city, as well as
a prominent New York newspaper man,
may have to tell what they know of the
woman's past. One of the st. Louisans
in question is Colonel John Norton, man
ager of the st. Louis Grand Opera House,
who is one of the best known theatrical
men in the country, and whose wife eloped
some years ago with Henry Moore, man
aging editor of the Post-Dispatch. Mrs.
Mccall played temporary engagement
in st. Louis not very long ago, which
ended in her chasing the susceptible
Colonel Norton through the streets with
a horsewhip. All this, with much inside
history, Mr.. McAllister is said to have
gathered as ammunition in case his son
Hayward is called upon to renounce his
celibacy.

ayers of the Cunard Steamship Company
declare that the statement made by the
officers of the American steamer New
York that the Cunard steamer Lucania,
bound east, was seen by the New York
fifty miles north Of her proper course is
absurdly Incorrect" The New York
beat the record from Southampton by
one hour and twenty-four minutes last
Friday. The same day the Lucania from
New York broke the eastward record by
two hours and nine minutes. The New
York log showed that she sighted the
Lucania fifty miles north of the eastward
route and in the line followed by the
west-bound steamers. The routes are
agreed upon by the various companies,
and captains are expected to adhere
strictly to the agreement.

The Chicago Newspaper Man to Sail for
Home Wednesday.
LONDON, September 17.-Mr. Well
man, the leader of the American Arctic
expedition, whose plans to explore the
far North were frustrated by the sinking
of his vessel, which was crushed in the
ice, will sail from Southampton for New
York Wednesday next by the steamer
Spree. He will be accompanied by the
American members of his party. In the
course of an interview to-day Mr.. Well
man said the failure of Lieutenant Peary
to reach North Greenland shows that,
like the Wellman expedition, he met I'M
usual difficulties arising from the ex-
tremely unfavorable season. He warmly
defended the expedition against the
charges made of inexperience and a bad
outfit. He especially protested that he
had not abandoned Prof. Oyen on Dam
ish Island. The professor, he added,
had 200 pounds of provisions on the
island, and was therefore in no danger
from suffering from lack of food. Prof.
Oven had himself perfectly absolved
himself from the charge of abandon
ment. In conclusion Mr.. Wellman stated
all the Norwegian members of the expe-
dition had promised to accompany the
next expedition. AS to Messrs French,
Mohun and Dodge, he said, Drawer or
better men cannot be found.

THoMAsToN, Conn, September 15.-
Thompson, town one mile south OF
here, was excited to-day by report that
Clarence Ward, the ten-year-old son of
Ferdinand Ward, ex-banker and tinan-
cier of New York, had been kidnapped
from the home OF his guardian, Frederick
D. Green. About O'Clock two men
seized the child and put him in car
riage. They the drove north toward
Webster, Mass. Mr.. Green notified the
police of all the surrounding towns by
telephone, and then started in pursuit.
About 10 O'Clock a message was received
here from Webster announcing the men
had been arrested and the boy recovered.
ferdinand Ward has several times tried
to get possession of the child. The boy
has made his home with his uncle, Mr..
Green, at Thompson since the death of
his mother, while his father was in Sing
Sing. Mr.. Green was appointed the
boys guardian by the New York courts,
and has charge of the property left to
Clarence by his mother. FERDINAND
Ward since his release from prison has
made several attempts to gain the custody
of the boy through the courts, but has
ALWAYS failed.

THE YACHT RACE.


New YORK, September 17.-Both Lord
Lonsdale and Lord Dunraven are seri-
ously talking of building yacht to race
for the American cup, and, Judging by
the comments in English papers, num-
Der of important concessions will be
asked of the New York Yacht Club. 1t
is said that, if the Englishmen decide to
challenge with seventy or an eighty
footer, they would like the New York
Yacht Club to meet them with a boat of
similar size and not have the Vigilant,
Jubilee or Colonna put against their
smaller craft. They also say that they
would like to have the races decided off
Newport to avoid excursion steamers.
While no formal proposition has thus
far been made to the New York Yacht
Club on the subject, the questions have
been informally discussed among the
members, and those in authority say that
neither proposition finds favor here or
would be accepted under any circum-
stances,

ILLINOIS NATIONAL GUARD.


Mutiny in Chicago Because Their Pay
Has Not Been Received.
CHICAGO, September IA mutiny
broke out in the ranks of battery D of
the Illinois National Guard last night,
and seventeen artillerymen were placed
under arrest, pending dishonorable
discharge from the service of the State.
The trouble has been brewing several
weeks, and had its origin in the failure
of the State to pay the men for their
services at the stock yards during the
recent railway strike in sympathy with
the Pullman workmen. Last night was
drill night, and when the order was
given to fall in" seventeen men re-
fused to put on their uniforms and pre-
sent themselves for roll call. One OF the
malcontents voiced the feelings of his
fellows by saying:
1--WE don't put on our uniforms until
we get our $780,"

THE OPIUM SMUGGLERs.
How They Evade the Law in Southern
California.

Los ANGELES, September ia big
gang of opium smugglers was unearthed
to-day by Collector of Port Gaffey. One
hundred and fifty fve-tael cans of opium
have been seized and several arrests
made. The chief of the gang was Gus
Algren, restaurant keeper in Santa
Monica, who was arrested this afternoon
and brought to this city along with the
opium seized. Steward Smith and col
ored boy of the steamer Minneola are
charged with having landed the opium
at Port Angeles. A man named McClel-
Ian, partner of Algren, is wanted, but
has not as yet been captured. 1t has
been known for some time that a we'll
organized gang has been operating in
several places along the coaF5, and Col
lector Gaffey several weeks ago put Spe-
cial Agents Cornell and Mappa to work
up the case. They discovered that the
smugglers were dropping the opium
overheard from sailing vessels outside,
encased in black bags. These were sunk
with weights, but had ropes attached
above to buoys. Confederates would go
out in small boats and pull up the stuff
and take it ashore in fishing bags.
