LONDON, Aug. 22 1S95.-In the House
of Commons today Mr.. Walter H. Long,
President of the Board of Agriculture,
refused the demand of Mr. White, mem
Der for Forforshire. that the brief Off
cial report of the inquiry into two cases
of pleuro-pneumonia alleged to have
been recently found in Canadiaa cattle
at Deptford be laid upon the table of the
House. Mr.. Long, however, offered to
supply Mr.. White personally with a copy
of the report.
Mr. White asked if in view of the
conflict of opinion of Canadian and
British experts and also in view of the
assertion of the Dominion Government
that contagious pleuro-pneumonia had
never been known in any part of the
dominion invitation to send veterinary
expert to Canada to elucidate the facts
Mr. Long said he did not see that that
would be of any assistance. His own
view was based upon the actual detec-
ton of cases of the disease in England
He saw no need of making any special
experiments with the last cases dis
covered, as the Board of Agriculture was
perfectly satisfied with the opinions of
their advisers.
Sir John Long, member for Dundee,
asked Mr.. A j. Balfour, First Lord of
with the views he had repeatedly ex
pressed he would advise that the Govern
ment invite the assembling of an inter
national conference in order to obtain
an agreement in regard to the currency.
Mr. Balfour said he had always been
strongly in favor of an international
agreement, upon, the currency question,
colleagues to such an opinion, nor had
he any reason for thinking thatNsuch an
agreement would result at. the present
ence. A second abortive conference. he
thought would be very undesirable.

LONDON, Aug. %. 1S95.-A despatch
to the Times from Hong Kong con-
firms the report of the attack upon the
American mission chapel and school,
near F'uchau, and adds that Captain
Newell of the United States cruiser De-
troit has gone from Fuchau to Kucheng.
The despatch also says that thousands
of additional anti-foreign pamphlets and

The Pail Mall Gazette'' says Seere-
tary Olney may be relied upon to take
vigorous action in behalf of the Amer

A despatch to the "Globe' from Shang-
hal says the Chinese soldiers at Tientsin
revolted yesterday and assembled out
side the gates of Ii Hung Chang's pal
ace, where they raised clamor for the
arrears of pay. Later they made an
attack upon the shops in the city, wreck
ing many of them and killing over a
hundred persons.
A despatch to the Globe from Shang-
hal says the deadlock in the Kuchong
inquiry continues. 1t is believed that
the prisoners in custody there will i'm
plicate some of the highest officials in

RoCEAWAY RIVER POLLUTION
Unquestionable Advantages of the
Jersey City Water Com
pany's Bid.

Just when the Board of Finance will
meet to approve a water expert to as
sist them in disposing of the water con-
tract awards before them is not known
The Commissioners are becoming more
convinced daily that the Jersey City
Water Company is the only one that
presents favorable features.
The publication in yesterdays News"
that extensive dye works and other man
ufacturing plants are about to locate at
Dover did much to help the Finance
Commissioners.
PoLLUTE THE RoCKAWAY.
These new enterprises will drain their
sewage into the Rockaway above the
intake of the Roekaway and Hudson
Company, and such pollution as they
will empty into the river cannot be avert
ed. As an evidence of the fact that
Dover is a growing town and its people
enterprising, it is said on the best au-
thority that the Board of Trade recently
raised 5000 to get big manufacturing
plant to locate there.
uNQUEsMoNABLE ADVANTAGES.
All of this contamination would flow
into any intake established below Dover.
Here again the Jersey City Water Com
pany comes to the front. It collects its
water in the lakes and streams six miles
above Dover and beyond all possibilities
OF pollution.
This fact in itself is thought by prop
erty owners to be sufficient to convince
the Finance Commissioners that the Jer-
sey city's plan is the only one that con
he consistently concurred in.

THE KU-CHBNG ENQUIRY.
Undue Zeal of Our Consul Creates
COmpIF locations

WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1S95.-The in
vestigation which the government of the
United States will make into the Kuch-
eng massacre has been somewhat com
plicated, and the probabilities seem to
be that the complication has been caus-
ed by an excess of zeal on the part of
j. Courtney Hixson of Alabama, United
States Consul at Foo Chow or Fuchau,
who has gone to Ku Chang as the. prin-
cipal representative of the United States
on the joint British American commits
sion of inquiry.
1t was learned today that Mr.. Hixson
and the commission started for Kucheng
before the formaIities preliminary to the
ese Government. and before the State
Department had snt him full instructions,
and the interesting information has just
somewhat surprised to learn, after the
commission had left Foo Chow, that the
other American representative was En-
sign Waldo Evans of the United States
ton of the State Department. after a
consultation with a1, the naval officials. to
Kucheng with Mr. Hixson.
Captain Newelfs wide experience and
his reputation for discretion and good
nser e5by ns haS s
matters concerning the commission with
the Chinese government, Mr.. HiXse and
Ensign Davis started for kucheng and
the supposition here is that the refusal
of the Chinese officials, who are also
making inquiry into the massacre, to per-
nit them to attend the hearings. is eaus-
ed by the fact that proper authority from
the Peking government was not obtain
ed by Mr. Hixsen before ne made his
somewhat hasty departure.
The cablegram. from Hong Kong, via
London, stating that Captain Newell has
gone from Fo Chau Goo Chow to
Kucneng, causes much qualification at
the State Department, and Justifies the
authority to pursue the investigation,
which Mr. DENLY was instructed to Sc
cure, and will break the deadlock caused
bv the refusal of the Chinese officials
at Kucheng to permit the foreign COM
missioners to be present at their in
uuiry Kucheng is some distance in
land. and for that reason the State De-
partment has been unable to communi-
cate with Mr.. Hixson to ascertain why
he started too soon.

HONG KONG. Aug. %, 1s95.-Informa-
mob OF fnfuriated natives, armed with
weapons of every conceivable kind made
an attack a few days ago upon the AM
erican mission near Fuchau and wrecked
the chapel and school attached to the
mission. Four native scholars attend
ing the school were wounded, but the
teacher, an American, succeeded in max
ing his escape. The strong anti-foreign
feeling which exists in Fuchau is spread
ing rapidly. The populace parade the
streets. shouting, "Drive out the foreign
devils,' and it is not safe for a foreigner
to show himself.
