LONDON. Dec. 16, 1S95.-The United

ceiving the service of that concern in
the United States on Saturday and cabled
back by the New York correspondent

terly untrue. The despatch in question
contained the following paragraph
The long dispatches from New York
ON the Bayard incident have revived m
terest here in the affair. Mr.. BayaTd,
He said to a friend recently hat he re-
garded it as the result OF the silly sea-
son" in America.
Mr.. Bayard has at no time treated
American criticism upon his recent Edin-
burgh address lightly. nor has ne ever
said to a friend or anybody else that
he regarded the whole matter as the re-
suit of the s'silly season" in America.
AS q. matter of fact, Mr.. Bayard has
made no comment whatever upon any
phase of the incident, and the Chicago
Associated Press had no more foundation
for it's assertion that he has than it had
for the alarmist despatch 1T sent out a
few days ago that it was rumored that
the Sultan had been poisoned, a rumor
which never reached anybody in Eu-
rope, for the very good reason that there
was no such rumor.

The tragedy occurred shortly after II

The affair created great excitement on

nounced to be dangerous. It is believed
that a failure at eoonciliation on the
part of the husband prompted the deed.

CHINA AS II IS.
Interesting Address by Missionary
Mrs. Mary Baldwin.

Mrs. Mary Baldwin.
Mrs. DR.. Mary Baldwin, a missionary
to China, who has just returned to this
country, having spent twenty years in
the land of the h%eathens, delivered an
interesting address on missionary Work
in China" before a large congregation
at the Simpson M. E. Church last even
ing. She described infinitely the mode of
living and customs of the people and
showed a pair of Shoes three inches long,
which were worn by a Chinese lady. In
explaining the method resorted to to
stunt the growth of the feet, she said
from two to four years b~andaging of
the feet were required. This causes
great pain to the infant.
In describing the slums of the country
she said language ould not describe
them. "Asiatic cholera" said she, ."the
disease we dreaded so much a couple of
years ago, would nevr obtain a foot
hold if the people of the heather countries
and China in particular would give more
attention to personal cleanliness.
I'm China missionaries are looked upon
very much as the Salvation Army is
looked upon here. But the missionaries
can preach there without first securing
a permit from the Mayor of the CITY,"

TO DEEPEN GOWANUS CANAL.
Different Jurisdiction Produces a
Queer De- q nck In Its Construction.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16, 1S95.-Mr. Fish
er (Rep., N. " today introduced in the
House a joint resolution directing the
Secretary of War to prepare n submit
plans and estimates for continuing the
work upon Gowanus Canal, New York,
with a view to secure a depth of IS feet
from Percival street to Hamilton avenue
bridge. This action is not to be construed
to commit the government to proceed
with the construction of this improve
ment.
Mr.. Fisher explains that the govern
ment work now stops at the intersection
Of Percival street, while the jurisdiction
of the city of Brooklyn ends at the Ham
nton avenue bridge. This leaves a bar
between the two points over which there
is but seven feet of water. This results
in an anomalous condition of affairs.
Where the government has been operat-
ing there is 26 feet of water, and where
the city has dredged there is Is feet.
As a result no boat can get from the
government dredging into the city basin.
The purpose of Mr.. Fishers joint reso-
luton, therefore, is obvious. 1t is to
make the government work of some mo-
ment and permit vessels to get up to the
city and thus have the navigation per-
