Viceroy to Be Degraded for the
Chinese Massacres.
Aid Is Being Extended the Amer.
lean Committee OF Inquiry.

dispatch received at the State Depart
ment from Minister DENLY this morning
shows that good progress has been made
in the matter of the investigation of the
Chengtu riots, and that the Chinese Off
Gals have directed the necessary assistance
to be given the American commissioners.
The dispatch states that the Yamen have
telegraphed the authorities of PclI-chile,
Shausi and Sheusi, to appoint an officer
and escort the commission.
These three provinces comprise the ter
ritory, about 400 miles in length. through
which the commission must pass on its
overland journey from Rientsin to Chengtu.
1t is now believed that the commission will
get to work in about six weeks.
The second part of Mr.. Denby's dispatch
is not altogether clear. The statement
is made that an edict will issue in few
days furnishing officials and degrading
the viceroy. Mr.. DENLY says he will cable
this fact as soon as 1t is announced. II is
not understood here that the viceroy OF the
province in which the Kucheng riots oc-
Cured was implicated in any way, and the
degradation can hardly apply to that vice
roy.

implicated Viceroy Liu in the Chengtu
riots, and the degradation is supposed TO
refer to him, Notwithstanding the fact that
the American commission has not reached

The evening times., 1895-09-28

Miss Susan E. Blanchard, young lady
of four and twenty, employed in the Gov
ernment Printing Office, by her attorney,
Campbell Carrington, this afternoon filed
suit for breach of promise against Fred
erick J. Lung, a contractor oil Takoma.
The young lady came to Washington sew
eral months ago from little Maryiaud
town. She was member of the Presby-
terian Church. and a constant attendant
upon its services.
When Mr.. Lung proposed to her. she states.
she wrote home to her pastor, and now has
a latter in her possession addressed TO
herself and the husba nd she expected TO get,
from the pastor rcongratulating both.
SHE WAS EVER WILLING.
The declaration filed to-day by the pc.
titioners said that 1.-THE plaintiff and de-
fendant had agreed to marry one another
and reasonable time for the marriage has
elapsed and though the plaintiff has been
ever willing anu ready Net the defendant
has neglected and refused to marry.
Then the darker side of the picture is
turned, and the petitioner relates that
she had lived with the defendant at his
pretty home in Takoma for some time
past, and now she begged of him to wed
her TO save her from disgrace.
HIS REPEATED PROMISES.
She said that Mr.. Lung had openly apd
repeatedly told other persons that they
were to be married, but that now he comes
and says he never intended to marry her.
The reason for his change of mind, Miss
Blanchard said. is because his sisters OPP
pose the match.
The young woman states that her only de-
sire was to maintain her good name, ana
that the husband might Immediately sue
for divorce If he would agree to the per-
farmance OF the marriage ceremony.
To her entrcaties, she said, the defendant
told her if she had any redress to seek it.
Miss Blanchard estimates the wrongs and
in juries done her to be worth $40, 900 dam
ages
