Bad French Wines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Consul
chancellor at Havre has sent an
extended report to the state de-
partment upon wine making in
France, covering the past twenty
years. The consul declares that
much OF the wine product has no
grape juice in it whatever. The
French government recently de-
stroyed $4,000 casks OF wine found
to contain no grape juice, but made
of water, alcohol, sulphate OF gyp-
sum, glycerine, salts of potash and
berries for coloring. 1t has been
ascertained that whenever the vint-
age was poor immense quantities
Of sugar, amounting in 1887 to &c.
600 tons, had been used for mixing
with wine, while the deficit in the
production OF the vineyards has
been made good by producing
many millions OF gallons OF wine,
so-called, from raisins, currants
and the lees Of the wine press. The
consul says that sweetness in wine
covers any defect without improv-
ing its quality, yet many people
prefer sweet wine, which Injuries
their health.

heavy Storm-standpipe Break

WICHITA, Kas., Aug. 12.-One Of
the worst wind storms in the his
tory of Southern Kansas passed
over Eldorado Saturday night. The
storm came from the north. Trees
were leveled and houses moved off
their foundations. So far as heard
nobody was fatally injured or
killed. The wind blew down the
reservoir tower Of the waterworks,
a half-inch boiler iron standpipe,
$50 feet high aud II feet in dia-
meter. When 1t was turned over
it contained 100000 gallons Of
water. Fortunately it bent down
about ten feet from the ground,
leaving the water to sepe through
instead Of pouring out, in which
event it would have swept away all
the houses in the neighborhood
and probably drowned many peo-
pie. It's foundation, Of solid ma
sorry was destroyed and some very
heavy rock were fonnd thirty feet
from where they were laid in
cement. For some time the water
works boilers were used after the
accident, but direct pressure en-
CINE in now at work. The storm
did a great deal OF damage to the
surrounding country.

upon the island as British terri
tory. No notice was taken by the
authorities Of Uruguay of the fact
that Brazil claims Trinidad island
as her own possession. The action
OF Uruguay is regarded by Brazil
as savoring OF subterfuge.

A Cowardly Kid.

HENDRICKS, w. Va, Aug. H.
Yesterday, at Beverly, Victor Cap
ten, picture frame peddler, was
shot in the head while trying to
make a sale at the home of Mrs.
W. Il. McClintic, by Mrs. McClin-
tics 15-year-old son, Clyde. The
bullet struck Capten in the right
temple and entered the brain. He
dropped apparently dead. The bull
let had entered the brain fully two
inches, but after it was removed
Capten became conscious and told
HE name and residence and said
young McClintic had shot him pur-
posely, because he refused to sell a
picture frame on credit. Capten's
skull was trepanned and he is
doing much better than could be
expected.
McClintic has been arrested and
held without bail.

meeting OF foreign residents of this
city held here today it was decided
to communicate by cable the ne
cessity Of immediate Intervention
in China upon behalf Of the United

Tien Tsin as an appeal to the peo-
pie OF the United States for assist
ance:
"The foreign community Of Tien
Tsin express sympathy with the
friends of the Kucheng victims.
They consider the Chinese officials
guilty and the British and Ameri-
cans blame the continued apathy
of their governments for this situa-
ton. They regard England's de-
mands for an inquiry into the
Kucheng massacre to be useless as
before; the officials will substitute
innocents for the actual criminals.
They protest the Szechuen commits
sion implicated the officials of that
province. England and America
must send an ulttmatum treating
of reprisals, Diplomacy is useless.
We implore attention"

BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME
To Reclaim the Arid Lands in the
Salton Basin For Fruit


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. H.
A local paper says a number of
Eastern capitalists are Ia this city,
at work on a scheme to reclaim a
vast tract OF arid land adjacent to
the Colorado river. The company
also has a grant of 100000 acres
in Mexico that it will irrigate. AS
outlined, the plan comprehends
the development of the greatest IT.
rigating system in the Western
hemisphere. AS an indication of
the good will and faith of the pro-
motors, they are said to have hand
ed the Southern Pacific check for
81, 100000 in return for it's title to
the alternate sections of land in
the Salton basin. The land turned
over amounted to about 100000
acres. Principally Eastern capital
lists are behind the scheme. j. G.
Beatty is general manager Of the
company. Interested with Mr..
Beatty in the company are such
men as Chas. Linton and HI. A.
Pierce, Of Providence, r. l., and P.
j. Mclean, OF New York. The i'm
portance Of the project lies in the
fact that the irrigation OF so vast a
tract Of land will revolutionize the
fruit industry of the country. Work
will be begun soon, it is said, and
water will be running through the
trenches before the end of next
year. The company expects to
have 100000 farmers on its lands
within a few years.

EX-GOVERNOR FLOWER BLOOMS
His Version of the Cleveland Move
ment-Whitney His Presi-
Dental Choice.


New YORK, Aug. 12.-Ex-Gov.
Flower was interviewed by World
correspondent in Saratoga regard
ing the Democratic presidential
nominee and said: 81 am for
Whitney. l don't think he is a
candidate, but l am not at all sure
that he would not be one II shown
that it was a party necessity. There
are not many men who will refuse
presidential nomination. The
ex-secretary tells what is absolute
ly true about the growing senti-
ment in favor of Cleveland, or
rather the administration. 1 have
no idea that Mr.. Cleveland wants a
third term but he is very strong
man and will have good deal to
do with making the candidate"
"There is the big mass of Demo-
Gratis who will vote for the
party candidate whoever he may
be. Some Of them do not like
Cleveland, but they will always
vote for him II he is the candidate.
Then there is another class who
are sometimes Democrats who will
always vote for Cleveland when
they might not for some other can
didate. There is where Clevelond
is strong and that strength is grow
ing every day. l predicted that
this would be the case two years
ago"

some demur, his request was grant
ed, to the surprise OF his European
and American colleagues. The
audience took place July Z, and
after appropriate addresses were
delivered, the envoy's documents
were received by Prince Kung,
president OF the Stung Lyman.
Mr.. Hayashi's speech was as
follows:
"His majesty, the emperor OF
Japan, rejoicing sincerely at the
peaceful relations now established
has been pleased to accredit me as
his representative at your majesty's
court. / take the permission to
express my sense of this honor. 1
enjoy being granted this audience
and given opportunity Of present
ing my credentials. 1t Is my pro-
found hope that hereafter the ami.
cable intercourse OF the two EN-.
pires may become more and more
intimate and that 1 may long be
favored with your majesty's con.
sideration. L pray that your
majesty may be blessed with long
life and prosperous reign"
The reply was brief and to this
effect:
"The war is ended and peace re.
established. I am happy to receive
you. Two countries separated only
by a narrow strip OF water should
always maintain terms of friend
Ship"
A storm of extreme severity wis.,
tied Japan on July 25th, causing
great loss of life and destroying
property of immense value. Many
calamities are reported, the most
serious of which was the over
throw of a railway train, bringing
disabled soldies from Hiroshima
north, for hospital treatment. The
force Of the tempest was such that
thirteen cars together with the en-
gin9 were blown from a causeway
into deep inlet of the inland sea.
1t is stated that 100 passengers
were killed or fatally injured, but
hopes are entert aimed that these
first accounts may be exaggerated.
A corps of surgeons was dispatched
from Hiroshima by the Emperor's
orders to the scene and 500 yen
were sent by express to relieve the
immediate wants of the sufferers.
Plans for an international expo
sition are now under consideration
by Japan capitalists, and there is a
prospect that the scheme may be
decided in the next session Of the
diet. The site suggested is in Toxic,
at the mouth Of the Sumida river,
and the first or second year in the
Goth century is indicated as the
earliest practicable time.

cHIN-JAP TREATY.
negotiations in Progress That Put
Japan On Her Feet In China.

Negotiations in Progress That Put
Japan On Her Feet In China.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. r.
Word reaches the Japanese lega-
ton that the new Japanese minis
try at Pekin has begun the nego-
tiation Of the new treaty Of com.
merce and navigation with China,
and that everything is moving
smoothly, without the difficulties
that had been contemplated. The
new treaty follows the treaty of
peace made at Shimmonozki, which
recited that when peace was final
ly restored new commercial treat
ty be formed. 1t is an important
document, as it gives in detail the
terms on which China is to be
opened to commerce, whereas the
peace treaty recited only the gener-
al fact.
The negotiations have gone far
enough TO show that Japan will
have the favored nation clause as to
commerce. This will be the first
time China has granted this clause
to Japan. 1t assures to Japan the
lowest rate of duty on articles sent
to China that the latter country
eXacts for any country. Japan
is thus placed on equal terms for
TIE first time with Great Britain
and the United States and other
great powers.
Another feature of the new
treaty Is the establishment of JAP
anese consular courts in China for
the trial of Japanese. But as Japan
has raised her judicial system to a
high plane, abolishing all relics of
brutal punishment, there is found
to be no need of foreign courts in
Japan. Great Britain and the
United States have agreed to
abolish their consular courts in
Japan, and following this new or.
der Of things Japan will not let
Chinese consular courts be estab-
lished there, although they insist
that Japan should have the same
protection as other powers against
the crude methods of Justice in
China.

To be Decorated by Sons of the Revolution

 < It has hitherto been the custom for the veterans of '61-65 when decorating graves on Memorial day to decorate mot only the graves of their own com rades, but also those of soldiers of the revolutionary and Mexican wars, but so many of their own numbers are being added to the honored dead that at the last national encampment of the G. A. R. it was voted to decorate only their own comrades graves.
 The Society of the Sons of the Revo- lutionaTy War has, however, voted to attend to the rest. Committees will be appointed from General Gould Silliman branch of Sons of Revolution to mark the graves and on Memorial day they will be decorated. The ladies of Mary SilIiman branch of D. R.
