An Unfair Appointment.

LONDON. PA dispatch from
Shanghai, published in the Pail
Mall Gazette says dissatisfaction
and Indignation prevails among
mem bers of the foreign colony at
the appointment of the formerly
degraded Viceroy Liu, who Is re-.
garded as being the originator OF
Cheng Tu riots, to investigate the
recent outrages and causes thereof.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-It said
at the State department that IL the
report is true that Viceroy Liu will
be appointed to investigate the
Cheng Tu riots, then foreigners
have good cause for complaint. If
the report be true it is probable
that both the British and Ameri-
can governments will protest.
Viceroy Liu was governor Of the
province in which Cheng Tu Is
situated and he was said to have
been guilty of negligence, which by
SONS persons is regarded as
amounting to completely, in the
Chinese riots Of last June.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. A.-At IL 80
o'clock yesterday evening the Air
Line hotel, at Air Line junction,
about four miles from this city,
was discovered on fire. The alarm

tanned considerable Roadway and
when the department arrived the
entire building was in flames.
Nearly all the guests escaped

three were unable to get out OF the
building. One, Tim Mccarthy,
from Hillsdale, Mich, was taken
from the building soon after the
arrival of the department, badly
burned and died before reaching
the ground. There are still two
unknown men in the building, a
large frame structure which was
dry as finder. Several small build
ings in the vicinity were also
burned and the loss will probably
reach $4,000.

brothers who control the Standard
Oil company, is engaged to marry
DIR. David Hunter MacAlpin, Jr.,

the Republican ticket has been re-

Chicago's Big Canal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. A.-The re-
port of the board Of army engi-
neers appointed by the secretary Of
war to examine and report upon
the effect the Chicago drainage
canal would have upon the waters
of Lake Michigan, has been re-
,ceived at the War department. 1t
probably will not be made public
until the return of Secretary La
mont, who is expected this evening.
Very little can be learned as to the
contents of the report, although 1t
is understood the board finds the
canal probably would reduce the
average level of Lake Michigan
about six inches and possibly Lake
Huron the same. 1t is probable
the government will not stop the
work on the canal.

GRAIN DEALERS FIGHT.
Will Boycott Chicago Elevators
Unless Public Weighers are
Annnintad
Appointed.

CHICAGO, Ills, Aug. 24,-Unless
the demands OF the Illinois grain
dealers association are promptly
acceeded to by the elevator men of
Chicago, there is bright prospect
for the institution Of boycott
against the latter class that will
affect their business to serious
extent. This is the kind of gaunt-
let that was thrown down at
Joint meeting Of representatives
from the Illinois Grain Dealers as
ISOLATION and the Chicago Receiv-
er's and Shippers association. The
former committee represented
some 500 grain shippers through
out the state, and the latter was
composed of members of the Board
of Trade, commission merchants
and shippers. The meeting was
arranged for the purpose Of discus
sing the evils of the present system
of weighing grain In vogue among
elevator men and to devise means
for it's correction. 1t resulted in
the unanimous conclusion that the
interests of the grain dealers Of the
state demanded that disinterested
weighers should be in duty at each
pnblic elevator, and the elevator
companies that refused to adopt
the suggestion should be discrim-
mated against by all dealers max
ing shipments to Chicago. The
chairman OF both com mittees were
outspoken in denouncing what
they deem the outrageous me-
thods of the elevator men,, and
each claimed to voice the senti-
ment of his association as being in
favor of public weighmen.

Price $500 a Year
A Big Golf Tournament.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-One of the
most interesting golf tournaments
OF the season will be the meeting
today between teams of ten men
each from st. Andrews Golf club,
near Yonkers, and the Brookline
Country club, Of Boston. 1t will
practically be a golf contest be-
tween New York and Boston, as
the st. Andrews men are really
New Workers. The contest will be
by hole play, and there will really
be two matches, one to be played on
the grounds Of each club. The United
States team this year will be very
weak, for many of the best men in
Philadelphia will be unable to
come, owing to their engagements
against the English university
team later in the fall.

Cruel Quito Government.

NEW YoRR, August 24.-The
Herald correspondent in Gusya-
pull, telegraphs that the news
comes from Quito that those who
still remain in power there have
caused the arrest of many notable
patriots, including women. The
only offense which these unfortun-
ate persons are supposed to have
committed is that they have long
deeply sympathized with Gen.
Alfaro In his struggle. 1t Is report
ed from Quito that the prisoners
in the city are subjected to indig-
nations of all kinds and in some
cases, to torture.

Died in South America.

WEsTFIELD, Mass, Aug. s24.-

John Phelps Cowles, whose wife
resides in this town, has met death
in South America. 1t is thought
that he was killed during one OF

Cowles was appointed in 1880 by
President Hayes, vice Consul at
Foo Chow, China, and held the
place until nearly the close OF
President Clevelsnd's first admin

SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. "a. - The

today for New York. 1t is thought
that now as she has had her speed
trial she will on her return passage
break the Southampton record.

which is one of the strongest teams
that ever came to this country, are
booked to sail today on the st.
Louis. They will play their first
match in New York on September
2. Other games will be played at
Toronto, Philadelphia, the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, Elmwood and

says:
"The Audrey has closed one OF
the most successful seasons on
record. Out of thirty two starts
she has obtained sixteen firsts,
nine seconds, and two third prizes.
The Niagara's total, including the
Clyde matches, will approach very
close to this, but the Niagara, on
the Clyde, had nothing like the
competition that the Audrey had
in the Solent. Moreover, Lord Dun
raven designed the Audrey, and
was at the tiller In nearly all her
matches. This is the most support
i've thing done In the history OF
yacht racing"
AS to the coming race on the
other side of the Atlantic, the Field
says.
"The New York Yacht club can
not be blamed for selecting the De-
fender, although she has not, in
fair and square race, shown that
she is the superior OF the Vigilant.
Undoubtedly she is the better boat.
1t is regrettable that so much trou-
BILE has been taken to get the Vigil
liant out Of the way, and to i'm
press upon the public mind that
the Defender had defeated her in
conclusive manner. 1t does not
concern the English yachtsmen
much, but il the Valkyrie defeats
the Defender, and it is then claimed
that the Vigilant is better boat,
we can then refer to the Britain
MAS numerous victories over the
Vigilant."
Continuing last weeks article
upon the coming contest between
the London Athletic club and the
New York Athletic club, the Field
applauds the New York Athletic
clubs system of invitation to ath-
letic meetings, and thinks that the
scene on Sept. 81 will probably sur
pass anything ever witnessed. The
writer complains that although
the correspondence has been OF the
politest, the New York Athletic
club has tried to get the names Of
the London Athletic club team be-
fore revealing their own. "Any-
way" the article continues, ait is
certain that the London Athletic
club will meet the very pick OF
Americas athletic talent. We
think, on the whole, that America
would be better pleased at our set
ting the strongest team possible, as
tending to increase the excitement.
Unfortunately, the London Athlet-
ic club team is only the ghost OF
what it appeared likely to be, so
that the New York Athletic club
will find the task of choosing a
team less hard than once seemed
probable. The inclusion of Bacon,
Thomas and wilkins, in the Lon
don Athletic clubs team is still
doubtful. In conclusion, we are
confident that the Lon don Athletic
clubs team will receive chivalrous
treatment and the strictest fair
play. The American may be diff
cult to make a bargain with, but
when it is made, he does not de-
part from it,"

last evening she was getting along nice
ly and was out of danger. The physi-

that her case is not one of hydrophobia,
although the symptoms were similar,
but that she was suffering from hys-
terra. Mrs. johnson drank water after
being taken to the hospital and has
done so several times since. About
three weeks ago Mrs. Johnson was Bit
ten by neighbor's dog and when Sat-
urday she developed peculiar symp-
toms, such as biting and swapping, it
was thought of course that she had hy-
drophobia. Saturday morning she be-
gam swapping, growing and biting, and
DR.. Klenke was summoned. She final
ly became so violent that in the even
ing the physician decided she should go
to the hospital Word was sent to po-
lice station No. for an ambulance and
straightjacket, but the latter article
was not in the station, so Officers Po-
ronto, Roche and Began were sent

the hospital. On the way she became
violent and seized officer Poronto's To-
Gust club in her teeth, biting piece out
of it.
