chinese War CLOUD.
Great Excitement Over the Ex-
elusion Of the Consuls at
Ku-Cheng.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

LONDON, Aug. 90 1S95.-A despatch
from Shanghai to the "Pall Mall Ga
zettes' ascribes the action of the Chinese
officials at Kucheng in preventing the
British and American Consuls from be-
ing present at the examination of the
persons arrested for participating in the
massacre of Christians at that place to
fear on the part of the authorities that
the testimony of the prisoners will in
culpate them. The refusal of the au-
thorities. the despatch says, shows the
futility of allowing the Consuls to start
on their mission without the accompani-
ment of strong British military escort.
AS the matter stands. the Consuls are
powerless, and the whole inquiry is a.
farce Public feeling among Europeans
in Shanghai is strongly inclined towards
the conviction that British Minister
O'Conor should demand from China an
independent inquiry by the Consuls with
out delay, and also that a powerful escort
of British troops should be Immediately
despatched to Kucheng to protect and
assist them.
A despatch from Shanghai to the
''Times'' confirms the previous reports
of the refusal of the authorities to allow
the Consuls to attend the examination of
the Kucheng prisoners and adds that the
Chinese officials have been most often
sivel yobstructive to the Consuls, who
are powerless to do anything without a
proper escort of British troops.

RATTLESNAKE INTERRUPTS THE
SUPPER.

Hipe William, a hunter and woodsman,
who lives near Brownville, Braxton
county, VIVA, had an exciting experience
a few evenings ago with a tremendous
rattlesnake. Williams and his family
were eating super in their kitchen. when
ratltesnake thrust it's head through a
rathole in the floor. One of the children,
q little ten-year-old girl who was sitting
near the spot, happened to-look down
and saw the snake near her feet She
screamed and fell from her chair in a
swoon, almost within reach of the rep
tile, which fortunately had not yet drawn
its entire length out of the hole and
could not coil to strike. Williams, seiz-
ing he child, snatched it out of the range
of the reptile. and after ordering the
rest of the family to keep quiet,
seized an axe and cut the snake
in two at the first blow. The
reptile was six feet long and had
seventeen rattles.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
