Ing the two-story residence of George
Cochrane, an engineer on the Lake Shore
road. located on Greene street. was de-
stroyed by fire, entaiiing loss OF about
$1,000 The family were visiting south or

start before 1t was discovered by the
firemen at engine house No. s. The prin-
cipaI work accomplished by the firemen

that one OF the adjoining houses was oc-
capied by man named Yearny. who was
not aware OF what was going on until
aroused by the people who had been at
tracted TO the scene by the fire. AS soon
~ ne saw the danger his house was In he
fell down on his knees and with out
stretched hands said: ..oh. Lord. have
mercy on me and save tho house.. His
house was damaged slightly. The Ccch-
rane house was fully insured.

New York, Sept. 6.-The government
gold reserve was restored to-day above
the 100000, 900 point by deposit in the
sub treasury at Chicago of $25o,oo0 in
gold coin in exchange for small legal
tender notes.
This, however, is exclusive of gold
withdrawn from the sub-treasury here to-
day, which will bring the reserve below
the Sl00, 100000 point unless the govern
ment bond syndicate makes additional
deposits. =,
Sub treasury officials report the with
drawal of gold up to 2 p. m. as $l,6O0,00O.

NATIONAL CAPITAL BUDGET.
Oxnard Sugar Bounty Question will
Be Appealed to United States
Supreme Court.
TRANSFERS OF TROOPS In The WEST
Uncle Sam will Make Thorough In
vestigation of Chinese Outrages on
Missionaries Independent of
Great Britain.

Washington, Sept. 6.-There seems to
be no doubt that the Oxnard sugar boun-
ty question, which was yesterday decided
by Comptroller Bowler adversely to the
grounds, will 60 to the supreme court of
the United Statss for final determination.
Within few days Secretary Carlisle
will certify the case to the court of claims
under section 1868 of the Revised Statutes,
stating to the court that it is alleged by
the claimants that their rights under the
constitution have been denied them and
asking, as great public interests are in
volved, that the court pass upon the mat
ter at an early date.
Under the rules of the court the claim
ants might put off making their appear
ance for more than six months, but there
seems to be no reasonable doubt that the
Oxnard company will favor early judica-
tion, although Senator Caffery, it is under
stood, has protested against being forced
into court on the questions involved.
MILITARY POSTS ABANDONED.
Extensive transfers of troops in the
west were directed in an order issued by
the secretary of war. Fort Bnford, N. D.,
ard Fort Hancock, Texas, are discontin-
uod as army posts and directions given to
turn over the public lands occupied there
by to the interior department.
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.
The U. s. government, it is authorita-
lively announced at the state department,
has decided to enter forthwith upon an
Independent investigation of the Cheng
Tu riots.
AS first arranged, the inquiry was to
have been made in cooperation with En-
gland. The change of plan is occasioned
partly by the fact that the British consul
at Chug King, who is to conduct the in
vestigation on behalf of his government,
and to whom it was first proposed to en-
trust the preliminary investigation OF
the facts, has been detained at his post
and will not be able to begin the inquiry
for month or more.
China is expected to support the Amer
ican inquiry to the extent of supplying
an escort to the persons, who will con-
duct it, and will probably furnish an Of
fetal to cooperate with the American in
vestigator, as in the Ku Cheng investiga-
tion,

First steps Toward Organizing for
the Benefit OF the Banking

tion toward this end will now be oppor-
tune; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That committee of five

president shall be one, shall be appointed
to secure an expression of opinion from
the various state bank associations
throughout the country as to the advisa-
bil,ty Of establishing national organiza-
tion, the membership of which shall be
com posed Of delegates from state bank
ers' associations"

substantial BANKERS will be received BY
the committee, who will report to the ex-

oUYRAGES IN The ORIENT.
Stirring Letter OH the Subject Of Chi
nese Brutality to Missionaries by
An Eye Witness.
U. S. MINISTER SEVERELY CRITICISED
Shocking Spectacle Vividly' Described
Helpless Infants Hacked to Death
Servants of God Burned
in Their Beds.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 6.-President E.
P. Pierce, of the Kentucky Wesleyan col
lege, at Winchester, to-day received the
following stirring letter from DR.. Q. +.
Reid, of Shanghai, China, citizen Of the
United States and presiding elder of the
Shanghai district Methodist church
south:
Shanghai, Aug. 1O.-Only two weeks
ago to-day sent you an account of the
Chuen outrages, and to-day am sending
you accounts of the massacre at Ku
Cheng.
"Had our minister acted promptly and
adequately in the first case, the second
would probably not have occurred, and
we should have been spared the spectacle
of eight young and consecrated women
being dragged from their beds and brut-
ally massacred; helpless infants hacked
to death, and faithful servants of God
burned in their beds.
II am sending you these accounts in
the hope that you will use them where
they will do the most good. l wish I
could put my copy in the hands of every
editor, every congressman and every
other man who has any interest in the
welfare of the church or the honor of his
country.
"We do not seek for revenge, but we do
ask for justice and the protection every
American has the right to demand and
no civilized nation has the right to with
hold from its humblest citizen.
Foreigners in China are unanimous IN
the belief that little prompt and vigor-
GUS action would at once put an end to
these things.
"We have lost all hope of help from the
legation at Pek1n and are now appealing
directly to Washington. Will you not
help usY Unless something is speedily
done we shall have to abandon all our in
terror work, which represents SO many
years of toll and sacrifice.
"In our opinion the action required at
this time is the appointment of a strong
commission, with such rank and author
ity as will enable them to try and fix the
guilt of the highest official.
"To punish few Coolies will be more
than useless. We must 60 to ths source
of these troubles, which is found in some
of the highest officials in the empire.
(Signed) C.F. REID"
