ENERGETIC MEASURES WANTED
English Naval Commanders In

LONDON, Eng, Aug. 7.-To-morrow the
Standard will print dispatch from Shang-
hal that ]. r. Nixon, United States Consul
at Foo Chow. has, in the course of his in.
quiry into the recent outrages, obtained a
list of names of more than fifty natives
who are known to have been actually en-
gagged in the outrage at Wha Sang. This
list includes the names of the leading and
some of the actual murderers.
Nixon has collected abundant evidence
to prove conclusively that the district Off
Gals were fully cognizant of the fact that
mischief was brewing before the commits
sion of the crimes. The dispatch further
says that reports arrive daily from almost
every province in the empire of horrible
prosecutions to which native Christians
are subjected by the officials and of the
molestation and insults to foreigners resid-
ing in the interior.
The Telegraph will say that the settle
ment of the French claim for the sacking
of Cheng Tu and other outrages in the
month of May is proceeding rapidly.
Bishop Dunaud has elected much
damaging evidence, convicting the ex-
Viceroy, Lu Ping Chang, of having insti.
gated and fomenting the uprising.

clamorous that measures equally as ener-
getlc as those taken by the French shall
be adopted. The message sent by DR..
O'Connor, British Minister to China, to
Consul Mansfield, fails to give satisfaction,
and the appointment of a Chinese guard
to protect the English Consul at Ku Cheng
during his investigation is looked upon
with derision.
The Government has instructed the
British naval commander in Chinese
waters to enforce, if necessary, Great
Britain's demand looking to the protection
of British subjects throughout China and
the prompt punishment of all who were
implicated in the recent massacres.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. THE
vacation of the Chinese Minister, Yang
Yu, which he was spending at Niagara
Falls and along the st. Louis River, has
been brought to sudden close by the re-
ported massacres of missionaries and the
destruction of American and English mis-
sionary property in China. The Minister
felt that in view of these troubles and the
complications which may arise between
the two countries as result thereof
he would better return to Washington,

his deep regrets at the reports, and hopes
that later and fuller inform alton will mod
ify the severity to some extent. He is
satisfied that the Picking Government will
do everything in its power not only to
prevent further outrages, but to punish
the guilty perpetrators OF those which
have already occurred. 1t is believed at
the legation that the secret societies OF
Southern China are the moving spirits in
the recent massacres. There is some diff

nese people, however, that mob uprisihgs
are likely to occur in any country, and
that China is not alone in having her
share of these difficulties.
HONGKONG, CHINA, Aug. 6.-The Brit
ish and American missions at Fat-Shan,
near Canton, were attacked yesterday
evening "Wednesday afternoon) by large
and infuriated mob. The hospitals are de-
molished. Some of the missionaries fed
to Shameel, while others remained.
A Chinese gunboat has been dispatched
to quell the riot. 1t is reported that all
the missions at Kwang-Tung will soon be
destroyed, and the missionaries driven to
the treaty ports.
The yegetarians are $4,000 strong and
well armed and organized, and able to
withstand the Chinese troops.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 7.-Harlem will
resume racing tomorrow without pooling
or bookmaking of any kind. The man.
agement believe that there are sufficient
racegoers in Chicago to support the track
and are willing to make the experiment.
The programme for the first nine days is
out, five events being carded for each day
with 5000 purses. Secretary Murphy said
this afternoon that there would be con-
tinuous racing at Harlem until November

been declared off it is within the limits of
possibility that they will be run off if the
public supports the track.

So the Railroad People Were
Compelled to Remove OBJ

Ten Thousand Persons and the Po-
lice Attracted by a Deafenlng
Din at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. THE triangular
fight which has been going on for the last
three days between the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, the steamboat-oWners
and the city resulted to-day in an agree
ment by the railroad company to build i'm
mediately temporary viaduct across their
tracks at Van Buren, street and to permit
the public to have free access to the lake at
all times. The company also agrees to de-
press the tracks two and a half feet, but
the final arrangements cannot be made
until August 26, when President Fish, who
is out of the city, will return,
Shortly after 4 o'clock the excursion
steamer Macatawa from Windsor Park
landed fifty passengers at the Van Buren,
street dock. The special officers of the Il
linois Central Company refused to allow
them to cross the tracks and a long train
of freght-cars was drawn across the right
of way.
The Macatawa Immediately started
blowing her whistle and other boats at the
dock joined in, creating deafening up
roar The noise speedily attracted crowd
to the lake front of at least 10000 people,
coming in hot haste from all directions in
anticipation of riot.
The police were notified of the gathering
crowd and Captain Koch, with two lieu
tenants and a squad of police officers, was
soon on the scene. He endeavored to
silence the boat whistles and sent Lieuten-
ant Preston on board the Leslie. The
captain of the boat refused to stop the
whistle and Lieutenant Preston proceeded
to arrest him. The captain seized an ak to
ha If
and Immediately pulled out into the lake.
The Undesirable din caused by the loot
ing of the whistles continued. Each boat
began firing up and the smoke emit
ted choked and blinded the officers, boat
men and the constantly increasing crowd
of spectators. The workmen engaged in
tearing down the old viaduct, unable to
hear orders or see their way about on the
big structure, ceased work for the day.
After long parley between the Illinois
Central police, the cit officials and the
Chicago police, the passengers from the
boat were allowed to land and proceed
along the tracks to Randolph street, where
they were permitted to reach street.
When this was done the boats ceased
whistling and further trouble was averted.
About P. NJ. the steam boatmen were in
formed that passengers could cross the
tracks without hindrance, and that tenn
porary viaduct would be placed in position
by noon tomorrow. At the conference
between the railway officials and the city
authorities, the company agreed to build
temporary viaduct which should be in
position within twenty-four hours, and in
the meantime passengers would be allowed
free access to the steamboat dock. The
question of depressing the tracks was also
considered, but in the absence of the presi-

PROPP|NG THE RESERVE.
Treasury Officials Confident
the Syndicate Will Keep
Its Contract.
Over Two Million Dollars In Gold
Drawn Out This Week for
Expectation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. THE
demand upon the treasury to-day for
$1000,000 in gold for shipment to Europe
tomorrow was not unexpected and treas
ury officials will not be surprised if this
demand is duplicated before the end of the
week.
The situation causes them no alarm.
however, if the facts are accurately gagged
by the public expressions of those in high
places in the department. 1t has been
stated IN some quarters that the bond
syndicate has abandoned its effort to re-
tain gold in this country by maintaining a
high rate of exchange. Treasury officials
point out the erroneous conclusions thus
reached by showing that a high rate of
exchange is the big inducement for the
expectation of gold. The position of the
syndicate, it is said, has been quite the
reverse, and instead of keeping the rate up
1t has sought to reduce it, because the
lower the rate the less profit there is in
handling bullion or coin, and the less in
ducement will there be to ship it. To
reduce the rate of exchange seems to have
been the aim of the syndicate, but it has
not been able to bring about the desired
result.
The official figures of the treasury show
That at the close of business to-day the gold
reserve stood at $104, 468, 104, but this does
not show the withdrawal of the one mil
hon to-day. The treasury officiaisssa ssume
that this withdrawal is due to the liquida-
ton OF foreign obligations, and believe it
Will have no effect upon the treasury or
upon Wall street for the reason that the
street understands the nature of the trans
action. What the syndicate proposes to
DO is matter upon which there is no ad-
vice, and there is no reason why the
treasury should be taken into the conf
dence of the syndicate beyond knowing its
contract will be lived up to. This pro-
Vldes that the gold reserve shall be kept
unimpaired up to October 1.

Gladstone gave expression to the general
convictions of his countrymen. But it is
not premature to sound note of warning
against well-meant exaggerations. Fanat-
ical distortions of healthy impulse, I'M

The Times commends Mr.. GladStone's
prudence and moderation in dealing with
the political part of the Armenian ques-
ton, and says: He carefully abs tanned
from saying anything that might hamper
the Government, nor did he advocate
autonomy, which would not be an effective
guaranty for the security of the Arme-
mans, and would not be approved by Rus
STA.
All the papers comment on Gladstone's
astounding vigor and the brilliancy of his

Decision in Fdror of the Defender by the
Regatta Committee.
NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. THE great
interest of the day was in the doings of the
regatta committee, which was in secret
session all day. It's last session was COM
pleted just before o'clock this evening,
but it was o'clock when Commodore
Kane announced that the members had
come to decision, but as matter of cour-
tesy they considered it privileged COM
munication and did not feel at liberty to
give it out to the public.
They forwarded their answer to both the
syndicate and Mr.. Willard. This answer
is understood to cover the several COM
plants, as well as the formal protest on
the'race of July %. Through the kindness
of Mr.. Iselin The United Press was allowed
to take a copy of the letters sent him by
the committee, which are as follows:
FLAGSHIP SYLVIA, NEWPORT HARBoR, Aug. z.
To E. A. Wiltard, ESq.-DEAR SIR: Referring
to your protest of July %, asking that the De-
fender be disqualified for alleged violation of
section 2, rule 10. of the racing rules, and re-
ferring to your subsequent request at the Vine
ron returned to Newport, we now beg to say
that after mature consideration the committee
has reached the conclusion that 1T cannot sus-
tain the protests. Yours respectfully,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Post
master-Ge neral Wilson, in an attempt to
show that there has been great revival OF
business in this country since the passage
of the Wilson tariff bill, has caused state
ment to be prepared showing an increase
in postoffice receipts at thirty cities as
compared with the receipts for the same
period last year. The following gives the
increases for the quarter just ended over
the quarter ending June 3d. 1894:
New York SIG, 004, Philadelphia $54, 1874,
Boston $40, 361, Baltimore $11, sos, st. Louis
$40, 142, Cincinnati $16.350, Chicago $133. 900,

Island 1868, Newark $500, Kansas City

Richmond (Va.) $2499, Troy $3.50, Toledo
San Francisco shows decrease of $119O
and Washington a decrease of $23, 400. The
percentage of gam for thirty cities is 7.6
per cent. 1t is surprising fact that out
OF thirty of the principal cities OF the coun-
try San Francisco and Washington are the
only ones that show decrease in the re-
celpts. All the rest show increases of sew
eral thousand. Postmaster-General Will
son, in commenting upon these figures,
said to the CALL correspondent:
"Of course the great decrease in the re-
ceipts at the Washington office is easily
accounted for. Congress was in session
for the corresponding quarter of last year,
and of course that makes a difference. II
always does, and the decrease this year is
not greater than in former alternate years
The most, and, in fact, only surprising re-
port comes from San Francisco, and l am
not able to understand why there should
have been a decrease there when there
have been increases ranging from $4,000
to $4,000 in cities of that class, such
Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo
and Detroit. The department may send
an inspector to see what is wrong out
there"

GLADSTONE AND ARMENIA.
Ufterances of the Grand Old Man Are

LONDON, ENG, Aug. THE Morning
Post to-day, referring to the Armenian
question, says it fears that Gladstone
speech at Chester will prove dangerously
mischievous. His extravaganza criticism
and wild words, says the Post, may
kindle civil war in the Sultan's domains.
This may spread into a European con-
fagration, and England, with her millions
of Mohammedan subjects in India. may
be threatened with renewal of the hor-
rors of the Sepoy mutiny of 1857.

Plans of Europeans for Sticing China

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. IA Wash
ington special says: There is some discus
sion here of a European combination
which would end in the division of the
Chinese empire among the various powers.
Russia would control Manchuria, Mongolia,
Kashgaria and the country to the north of
the Hoang-Ho; Great Britain the middle
provinces as far south as Canton; France
the territory to the north and east of the
Tonquin frontier. Germany would de-
mand some consideration, but could be
appeased in other directions, possibly by
extensive concessions of England in Africa.
The other European powers would not be
material factors in the deal. Japan would
be powerless to resist.
Such disposition of China would, it is
thought, assure stable administration,
progressive internal development, and
finally Ii settlement of the Chinese ques-
ton.
