Hurried Call for a Special Meeting
of the British Cabinet
Council.

LONDON, Oct "A special Cabinet
council has been called for Tuesday next

summoned to the city. kilograms have
been sent to Sir William Vernon Har-
court. who started yesterday for Italy.
and other Ministers who are absent. Sud-
den developments regarding the delibera-
ions between Great Britain and France
are without doubt the reasons for the
hasty summoning of the Ministers.
The Daily News, commen ting on a re-
port that the special Cabinet council has
been called owing to new developments in
the relations with France. SAYS: Rumor
is always wrong when applied to Cabinet
meetings, and wise men pay no attention
to its wanderipgs. There are several ques-
tions at issue between France and Eng
land. but there is no question of opposing
interests comparable in the remotest de-
gree with those that set France and Prus-
sia to antagonism in 1870.
The Standard correspondent at Paris

the views of the Minister of Colonies.
gives. exclusive of the questions of Egypt
and Madagascar, list of eleven outstand-
ing difficulties between France and Eng
land, connected with frontier and similar
disputes in various African colonies.
Many Of these. however, have practically
been settled, and none of them would
justify rupture unless one country was
bent upon pickl1g quarrel with the
other, which the paper says is not the case.

5000 japanese troops at Passiet Bay, as
announced officially from Tientsin. This
bay lies directly on the eastern boundary
between Korea and Russian: maritime
provinces. 1t is not believed that any
Chinese troops are in the neighborhood as
the country is too rugged and barren to
warrant the plan of marching the troops
overland clear across Korea to join the
army advancing on Moukden, and it is
considered conceivable that the japanese
are preparing to resist possible advance
by the Russian troops from the north into
Korea.
The purpose of the other movement re
ported from Tient sin, the reconn offering
by the Japanese fleet off the Chinese coast
near Shang Hal KwaD, is more reasonable
and apparent. Shan Hai Kwan lies on
the boundary between the Chinese prov
inces of Manehuria and Chilli at the east
ern end of the great wall which traverses
China. 1t is directly on the railroad
building from Tentsin to Moukden and
as the line is already in operation between
il and Tientsin the town is a place of
great strategic advantages. Should the
japanese effect lis capture and land an
army there would be nothing In the way of
a rapid advance on Peking, the capital, and
unless the Chinese resistance is more
formidable than it has been so far the
march could be made in week or ten

AWFUL CARNAGE.
Men Shot: to Pieces in the Battle
Off the Yaiu.

LONDON. Oct: "A British naval officer
attached to the Chinese naval squadron

Graphic in which he says: ,'.On board

PRINCE KUNG,s RETURN:
1t Is Not Believed That He viii Be-
tray the Emperor. -.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-Oficials of
the Chinese legation were very incredu-
lous to-day ofthe reports from Shanghai
that ihe Chinese Emperor was about to be
dethroned and his place occupied by a son
of Prince Kung. 1t is pointed out that
Prince Kupg: has been in retirement go
long and his son is so little known in polii-
icalaffairs that there is no reasonable basis
or ctedttng such an internal revolution a s
might overthrow the Emperor.
On the other hand Prince Kung, who has
been recalled to imperial favor in China
and placed at the head of the Privy Coun-
Gil, is said by diplomats who have known
him personally 10 be one Of the ablest
and most adroit statesmen in the Chinese
Empire. He has behind him long record
of distinguished service, beginning in
1850, and running until April, 1884, when
he fell into disgrace. He was the founder
of the Tsung-li Yamen, or Prlvy c. uncil,
has broad knowledge of foreign affairs,
and TO bis courage and energy in remain
ing at P4king in 1861 when the British
Il
fed was due the very existence of the
reigning dynasty.
In April. 1884. the Empress dismissed
him from Office in disgrace, in his decree
asserting that probably on account Of
broken health he had become careless and
had neglected his duties. He has since
recovered, and while he is now in the six
ties, he is said to be vigorous, alert NJ an.
During his retirement from Office he had
always opposed Ii Hung Chang. the Vice
roy. ald his restoration is taken here to
mean the ascendency of his party over Lii
Hung Chang, and it is also believed that
he stands committed to a vigorous war
policy, and will endeavor TO force the
fighting with the Japanese instead of fol-
lowing the Fabian policy of Ii Hung
Chang, who must give place to Kung in
direction of affairs.
SO far as is known here Prince Kung
had but one son, youth of evil habits,
who died in a fit of dissipation many years
ago. Should he have second son it is
not believed here that be would endeavor
to place him on the throne and dispIace
the reigning Emperor, as the Empress
would scarcely put him in a position
where he could destroy her own son unless
she felt confident of his loyalty.
The official draft of the new treaty be-
tween China and the United States as
Gently signed in China is now On its way
TO the legation here. 1t is expected that
the Presidents proclamation making the
treaty effective in this country will be the
next step taken.

OPPOSED BY HAMPTON.
Does Not Favor Government Own
erSfliD of Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Oct. General Wade
Hampton, Commissioner of Railroads, was
at his desk to-day for the first time in sew
eral weeks, having returned from an ex-
tended trip over the Government roads
which come under his supervision. The
Commissioner says he encountered iu Cali
fornia great deal of clamor for Govern
ment control of not only the Union and
Central Pacific, but Of all the roads. Both
of these propositions are opposed by the
Commissioner, who will submit his report
to the Secretary Of the Interior Novem-
ber l.
I'm the first place." he said, ''bonds on
these roads are not due until 1898, and the
Government cannot fOreclose until that
time. If the Government should foreclose.
having only the second mortgage, it would
be compelled to pay the first mortgage
amour ing to many millions. A Govern
ment such as ours cannot operate rail-
roads. In autocratic Governments it is
posi- BILE, but not in this. The demand for
foreclosure of the Pacific roads does not
come from the best-informed people of the
Pacific Coast, although it mas got to be a
very popular movement in the West"

WORK BETTER IN THE DARK.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Every body in
political circles Is waiting to see what will
be the action of the aDti-snappers regard
ing Hill. That they will not vote for him
is morally certain, but the great question
is whether they will openly revolt and
name ticket of their own. They do not
claim that the convention was not regular
nor that Hill was not nominated formally
and legally. They have a personal COM
plaint. Their claims to being deegates
were not. recognized and seats were re-
fused to them. :. :"
Information received here from several
sources exceptionally good is to the
effect that the Fairchilds- Grace Cleye--
land-anti-Hill Democrats .. will not
put an Independent ticket in the
field, having come to the conclusion
that they can better serve their purpose of
InJarlng Hill by another method. Their
plan, as laid out, is to do their utm ost for
the election: of Lockwood and Gaynor and
to knife Hill They nope In this way to
secure HilPs defeat without the absolute
loss Of the State and to make it appear:
that he is the weak man on the ticket.

Washington and New Y ork sources.

prestige, even if he is defeated, otherwise
he would not consent to make the ran.
He thinks that as matters stand to-day he
has an even chance of election: He relies:
upon his ersonal knowledge of the State
and the fact that in every township from
one end Of the State: to the other he has
trusted lieutenants who are adept in the,
science OF politics and trained in the same
bold school as himself. Hill will lose
thousands of Democratic votes in New:
York City. but Flower was elected by tue
vote of the northern emo of the State, and
Hill countsa great deal upon this fact. :
The Democrats cannot we'll open their
campaign until they know just what the
aut-snappers will DO. If an independent
ticket is put in the field. it will neeessltate
an entirely different sort of campaign. =
The Republicans are also waiting for.

decided that young Jacob SIoat Fassett

asserts, by her husband. DR.. and Mrs.
Glennan have not lived together for about
three years. The doctor attempted to
secure possession of the children through
the courts, but failed. He is surgeon in
the Marine Hospital service and his wife
was formerly Miss Susie Rayner, daugh-
ter of Joseph K. Rayner, a long time Con-
gressman from North Carolina.
Mrs. Glennan and her two sons have
been occupying rooms on the third floor of
a boarding house. and early this morning
the mother was awakened by the breaking
in of the doors leading to her own and her
sons rooms. She screamed, but before
the occupants of the house were aroused
the children were seized and carried away.
Four men composed the party. and Mrs.
Glennan alleges that one of the men was
her husband.
Further developments put new light
on the case and make the affair assume
an entirely different aspect from that
given by Mrs. Glennan. 1t is alleged in a
bill of divorce filed to-day that DR.. Glen
