alleged offense is cOndoned, and that the
object is not divorce. but extortion and

IN COLOR AS WELL AS NAME.
The White House to Receive a Coat
of Snowy Paint.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-Ths President
is expected 10 remain away until the mid
die of October. This fact was disclosed
to-day by a remark of the contractor who
is renovatiDg the executive mansion. He
says he expects to have the work done by
the 18th of October, which means, of
course. that Mrs. Cleveland and the babies
will remain away until that time and the
President will be absent with them. The
fact, too, that mem bers of his Cabinet are
making pilgTimages to Gray Gables now
Indicates a much longer stay on the part
Of MIR. Cleveland.
In the Office of Private Secretary Thur
ber preparations are being made to for
ward the official mail to the Presidents
summer home for some time to come. In
connection with the renovation of the
executive mansion il is worthy of note
that while the building has been called
the white House," 1t has not been dis
tinctly that color for years. its one coat Of
paint being of a creamy hue. but this year
II is to be absolutely white.

General, soon discovered that the sus-
pected men had no connection with the
japanese authorities and that they had
acted wholly upon their own motion and
responsibility. 1t is understood that after
due investigation he was not indispOsed to
save their lives by shipping them forth
with TO Japan, but on reporting the incl
dent to Washing on he received per-
enptory instructions to deliver them over
to Chinese custody. This was, the tele-
graph announces, done on September 5. to
the intense dissatisfaction of a great ma
Jority of the aliens dwelling In Shanghai.
Ibe ordinary procedure with accused
IorelSners who have no consular repre-
sentatives is to bring them before
mixed court under control of native
magistrate and foreign assessor. but no
one oeheves that the prescribed course
VIII De followed in the present case,
unless strong demonstration is made by
the several C0nsuls and is supported by
The Ministers at Peking against the re-
moyal OF the prisoners from the settle
meDt. 1t is generally apprehended that if
the Chinese are permitted to have their
own way In this affair they will make it
precedent for evading the customary obIi-
CATION hereafter. From the commence
ment of the war the attitude of the native
authorities 10 Shanghai has been cause
OF anxiety to many aliens. and the neces-
slty of maintaining intact all the safe
guards in the foreign community is en-
Dbatically proclaimed.
without regard to the question of legal
right or prOpriety it is regretted by Amer1-
cans that the Government felt it impera-
tive to inf1ict what was virtually a sentence
OF death upon those over-ZeaiOus japanese.

from the passenger list, aud every effort
was made to conceal his identity.
He declined to even meet any news
paper man, saying that he did not want to
prejudice his case by any public uiteranee,
AMI beyond that it is believed that he is
going 10 tell his story at space rates in an
American publication.
During the trip, however, be discussed
tie matter with passengers and told sew
eral things which have not before been
made public.
He stated that three hours before he fell
in with the japanese fleet he met two Chi
nese cruisers in retreat.
They had sighted the enemy and were
flying from them with all speed, going at
IS knots. At their mastheads flew flags of
truce.
They passed the Kow Shing in plain
view. but did not stop to warn her of dan
ger. They may not have known what she
was. but the troops crowded her decks,
and it was cowardy If they recognized her
and still went on.
When he desired to obey the commands
from the Japanese waTshir, knowing what
utter folly it was to resist, the Chinese
troops placed guard at the compauiOn-
way of the bridge. They had their
swords drawn and their orders were to
cut him down if he attempted to leave.
The first torpedo thrown at the Kow
Shing went wide of its mark, and then
came the broadside. Galesworthy, with
others, put on life belt and sprang into
the sea and the Chin ese opened fire on
them, and later they were under fire from
both sides.

picked bin up. Before the Kow Shing

not recovered yet from the effects of his

he was surrounded by such overwhelming
numbers of Japanese that after fighting
desperately for six hours and infiicting
frghtful slaughter upon the enemy he was
compelled to retreat and carry the remains
OF his army to a new rendezvous at Ping

He humbly begs that be be severely

Japanese forces: but the Emperor pro-
claims that, since he was able to escape

fered, therefore "Eis merit is sufficient to

sequence of the continued refusal of the
Governor of Shanghai to allow that city
the privileges of neutral port remon-
STRANGE was sent early in September by
the foreign COnsuls. As no satisfactory
answer was returned .he following joint
resolution was drafted and forwarded to
the Chinese authorities:
The action OF the Taotai OF Shanghai is
most unfair to a neutral port: and if he con.
tiuues 10 act in such violent manner troops
VIII be landed from the British French and
American men-of-war for the protection OF the
inhabitants Of the settlement.
Two European missionaries have been
murdered by Chinese soldiers. One, a
Frenchman named Jozeau, wno had a
large native following in the Korean
town OF Hong Ju, is said to have incurred
the displeasure of General Yeh, on that
warriors retreat from Asan, and to have
been beheaded after a form of military
trial on imaginary charges. Tne other, a
Scotchman named James Wylie, was wan
tOply set upon in Sise Yang. and beaten
so brutally that he died in few hours.
Korean adventurers are taking advan-
tage of the present disorders TO engage in
piracy on a small scale. Within the past
fortnight several Japanese fiShing-boats
nave been seized al different points off the
Korean coast, their yslualles stolen and
crews barbarously maltreated.
Warning has been sent from Shanghai
that an attempt will be made to disguise a
number of ships belonging the China
Merchants Steam Navigation Company
and dispatch them under the British f1ag
with munitions OF war and provisions TO
places occupied by Chinese troops.
Foreign newspapers in Japan announce
that the new war bonds cannot be held by
aliens. This is an error. The Depart
ment OF Finance declares that the sub
scription is open to all persons, ire
spective OF nationality.
The Japanese newspapers continue to
charge English officials in China with un-
fair partially toward that empire. Trust
worthy evidence is thus far lacking. but
complaints are so numerous and direct
that inquiry may become necessary.
Grave discOurtesy is attributed to Admiral
Freemantle in his recent correspondeDce
with Admiral Ito, an accusation the truth
of which should easilv be tested.
The intention of Korea to send such
forces as she can enroll to fight under the
Japanese standard has been formally pro-
claimed, and the first detachment has left
Seoul for Ping Yang.
Marquis Saionii. bearer of gifts from
the Emperor and Empress of Japan to the
