APPEAL FOR HELP.
FOREIGNERS IN CHINA CALL
FOR PROTECTION.
England and the United States Called
Upon to Take Decisive Action Against
China for the OutrageS Upon Missions
aries In That Country.

TEN TsIN, Aug. 10. AT meeting
of the foreign residents of this city
to-day it was decided to set forth by
cable the necessity of immediate inter-
vention in China by United States and
British governments and the following
telegram was, according to a resolu-
ton, addressed to the Associated Press
as an expression of the sentiments OF
the foreign residents of Tien Tsin and
an appeal to the people of the United
States for assistance:
nThe foreign community OF Tien Tsin
express sympathy with the friends OF
the Ku Cheng victims They consider
the Chinese officials guilty and the
British and Americans blame the con-
tinued apathy of their governments
for the situation. They regard Eng
lands demands for an inquiry into the
Ku Cheng massacre to be useless, for as
before, the officials will buy innocent
heads as substitutes for the actual
criminals. They protest that the See
Chueu commission implicated the off.
cials of that province. England and
America must send an ultimatum
threatening reprisals Diplomacy is
useless. We implore attention.
DICKINSON, Chairman.
The chairman of the meeting is W.
W. Dickinson, chairman of the NUM-
cipai council of Tien Tsin and part
ner in the firm of Collins 6 Co., well
known merchants of Tien Tsin.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Ac-
eordiug to the findings and records OF
the federal court here DR.. George w.
Fraker is dead. The record is that he
was drowned in the Missouri river on
the evening of July 10, 1893. On that
finding and record nearly $4,000 in In
surance has been paid out to the heirs
designated in his will. If he is not
dead, then he has evaded one of the
most relentless searches that has ever
been made in this country. For six
months there has been an offer of $780,
900 in gold for his capture, but no one
has been able to capture the tempting
bait.
Yesterday the six months stay OF
execution was up, and the attorneys OF
the insurance companies met the rep
resentatives of the plaintiff and set
tied the judgment in full.
It required payment of S35, 50
to satisfy the record in the federal
court. OF that amount the Provident
Savings association paid SS,568. 20; the
Modern Woodmen of the World, ST.

New York, Aug. l2.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says
Business continues unusually active
for midsummer, and, though there Il.
no perceptible relaxation, there are nc
signs of reaction. The one change Of
great Importance which the past week
has brought is eminently helpful-the
amicable settlement between coal
miners and employers in Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. II
is said that about 100, 900 men will have
their wages increased after October !
by this adjustment, and, while the en-.
largement of purchasing power is Of
consequence, 1t seems even more i'm
portant that chronic cause of con-
troversy has been removed by the new
agreement as to company stores,
There is no important change in crop
prospects, and at this time no news Il

GRANT TO MARRY.

Reported Engagement of New York's Ex-
 Mayor to Miss Frees.
 WAsHINGToN, March 12.-The Washing ton Times says today: A most interest ing report is current as to the matrimonial intentions of ex-Mayor Grant of New York. The rumor is of especial interest, as, according to the talk on the subject, the little romance in which he figures be- gan in Washington and dates only few weeks back.
 It will be remembered that Miss Mur- phy, daughter of the New York senator. gave a cotillon shortly before the season closed in honor of her guest, Miss Frees of Now York. Among the guests who came from n distance to attend the cotil- lon was ox-Mayor Grant. He then, ac- cording to the story met Miss Frees and became greatly interested in her. This feeling of admiration developed so rapidly into something warmer that before tho close of the season he made a formal pro poSal.
 The color of strong probability is given the rumor from the fact that tho OK mayor has now gone to Old Point Comfort, where Senator and Miss Murphy havo been for n week or moro with Miss Frocs. The marriage, according to this same report, is to be one of the events of Easter week in New York.
