Latest From China.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-United
States Minister DENLY today tele-
graphs from Pekin as follows
"Yamen have telegraphed the
authorities at Chilli, Shansi and
Shensi to appoint an officer to es-
cort the commission. An edict
will issue in few days furnishing
officials and degrading the viceroy.
Will telegraph it,"
This message refers to the indie
pendent American mission, which
has been formed to investigate the
Cheng Tu missionary riots. The
edict to which reference is made is
supposed to be about to issue as a
result of the French investigation
of the Cheng Tu affair and the
viceroy concerned is probably Liu.

ILLINOIS METHODISTS.
WOMEN ADMITTED AS CONFERENCE
DELEGATES.
DR.. Frank NJ. Bristol Becomes a
Candidate for Bishop-rIme
of Service Limit not
Disposed Of.

ELGIN, ILL.,, Sept. 2S.-Dr. Frank
M. Bristol, of Evanston, has been
chosen the delegate from the Rock
River conference to the coming
general conference of the Metho-
dist church. This action makes
DR.. Bristol formidable candidate
for the bishopricy.
Without a dissenting vote, the
conference passed resolution
favoring the admission of women
as lay delegates to the general con-
ference. Altogether this was the
most important day in the most
important conference ever held in
this great Rock River district.
Beside choosing DR.. Bristol, the
ministers elected five other dele
gates to the general conference and
the laymen selected their two dele
gates. After electing delegates to
the general conference the preach
ers heard reports from three of the
presiding elders, Burns, of Chi
cago; Hardin, of Freeport and
Van Horne, of Dixon. The lay
men struggled all day long with
organization, election and resolu-
tions on church polity.
The resolution on the admission
of women was the only one adopt
ed without a dissenting vote.
The resolution declaring for the
abolition of the time limit was
laid on the table by a close vote
and left there by the laymen, in
spite of the overwhelming senti-
ment among the preachers for its
abolition. The same fate befell a
resolution favoring the election of
bishops for a term of years instead
of for life. Several other resolu-
tions calling for changes in church
polity as will give the laymen a
fuller voice in the councils of the
church and restrict the powers of
bishops and presiding elders, were
adopted by close votes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Acting
Comptroller Bowers, after some
days deliberation, countersigned a
warrant issued by order Of the sec
rotary of the treasury in payment
of the draft drawn by Ex-senator
Ransom on account of salary as
United States minister to Mexico.
This action of the comptroller
seems to dispose of all the ques-
tion affecting Ransom's right in
getting his salary pending his con-
firmation by the senate.

John L. sullivan to Referee.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The Tribune
prints interviews with hundred
or more devotees of sports in vari-
Gus parts of the country regarding
the fitness and propriety of having
John l.. Sullivan referee the fight
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
In all the answers there is not one
word against the ex-champion's
fitness for the position and with
very few exceptions those inter-
viewed are enthusiastic on the sub
iect of having him for referee.

sCHoFIELD'S LAST ORDER.
Bears Out Personal Grudge
Against an Old Enemy.


NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A special
to the World from Washington
says: Capt. Geo. A. Armes, retired,
better known as Maj. Armes, was
arrested at his home, Armleigh
Park, yesterday evening by a file
of soldiers and confined in the
Washington barracks. The order
for his arrest was signed by Assis-
tant Adjutant Gen. Vincent, by
order Of the acting secretary Of war,
Gen. Schofield, who, was yesterday
the acting secretary. There has
been personal quarrel of 20 years
standing between Gen. Schofield
and Maj. Armes. The dispatches
say that Maj. Armes refused an
interview to the general and wrote
him an insulting letter. He at first
attempted to resist arrest when
Lieutenants Comings and Gordon
read the order, but consented to
enter the ambulance which came
for him. Maj. Armes was court
martialed for pulling the nose Of
Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania,
at the inauguration Of President
Garfield.

Tammspy Reorganizing.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-It is stat
ed on excellent authority that one
of the results of the return of Rich
ard Croker to this city will be a
material change in the leadership
of the Tammany Hall Organiza-

fairs of Tammany have been guild
ed by eX-POlice Commissioner Mar
tin and ex-Mayor Gilroy, and it is
stated these gentlemen will be re-
quested to take a less prominent
part in the organization. The man
whom Cookers friends have de-
cided to place in the position of
leader as chairman of the finance
committee is eX.Police Commits
sioner John c. Sheehan, and it is
stated that Cookers friend, Law
renee Delmour, will be given a
craftsmanship of one of the other
important committees.

TITLED LADY CONVICTED.
Her Passion For Horse Racing
Gambling Causes Her Disgrace.

LONDON, Sept. 2S.--At the Old
Bailey, before Sir Forrest Fulton,
Lady Frances Rose Cunning, aged
SO, described as Of no occupation,
pleaded guilty to certain counts of
an indictment, which charged her
with forgery, the indictments
ranging from the year 1892 down
to the present time. She had, in
fact, obtained large sums of money
by forging the name of her father,
who was country clergyman, so
years Of age, living at North
ampton, and she had also
forged the name of one of
her fathers church wardens.
She also leased club at Kensing-
ton, in which she induced young
women to invest capital. One
young lady, who let her have f1,-
300, had been rendered penniless.
Another young lady invested e.
600 in shares of the club, but re-
ceived none. Total sums obtained
by accused on account of this club
was ES,600, whereas the books &C.
counted only for f62S; and in adj
dition, prisoner had handed forged
bills to tradesmen to cover debts.
Her father had already paid large
sums for her to avoid exposure, but
had now put his foot down. Docu-
ments had been found showing
that Lady Cunning had been en-
gagged in betting on horses.
Lady Cunning has undoubtedly
held a very high and influential
position, but was sentenced to
twelve months hard labor.

STORMY LAKES.
THE EQUIN0OTIAL SEASON BRINGS
GREAT DISASTER.
Vessels Harvesting High Freight
Rates Wrecked On Our
Inland Seas.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-During the
past twenty-four hours Lake Mich
igan has played havoc with the
craft which cleared from various
ports. The sharp change from the
heat of last week to the cold of
this bred q sea on the lake, such as
many old mariners had never seen
before. Captain Mcintosh, of the
City of Chicago, bringing his boat
from st. Joseph, Mich, to Chica-
go, Thursday night, reported that
in all his experience on the lake he
had rarely met with such a turbu-
lent condition of the waters. One
of the crack boats of the Goodrich
line, the Atlanta, was disabled off
Grand Haven by the. breaking of
her main shaft. The wreckage of
an unknown steamer is coming
ashore at Manistique. The schoon-
er Thomas Rowland had all her
top rigging blown off last night
just outside of Chicago harbor and
various other marine casualties
are reported, serving to make a
grewsome list for those vessel own
ers who have been straining every
nerve to take advantage of the
high freight rates now pre-
vailing.
The list of injured and disabled
craft, as reported last night, was:
Atlanta, owned by the Goodrich
line, main shaft broken while at
tempting to make Grand Haven I;
boat will be retired from service
for the winter.
Unknown steamer wrecked off
Manistique; wreckage floating in
to harbor.
Thomas II. Rowland, schooner,
salt laden for Chicago; top rigging
blown off outside Chicago harbor;
boat towed into river.
G. A. King, schooner, of Detroit,
sunk off Point Aubargues, crew
rescued by steamer barge E. @.
Pope.
Mark Hopkins, steamer, sunk by
collision with steamer Vanderbilt,
two miles below Nine Mile Point (;
crew rescued.
When all the reports are in from
the exceedingly large number Of
lumber, coal and grain craft out, a
number will undoubtedly be found
missing,

Harrison's Denial Again.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 2S.-
Col. John C. New, who managed
ex.President Harrison's campaign
for the nomination for the presi-
dency, and was consul general of
the United States at London dur
ing the Harrison administration,
in an authorized interview to the
Associated Press today, said:
"Gen. Harrison does not desire to
run for the presidency, and is in no
sense a candidate, and the state
ment that he has withdrawn in the
interest OF anyone, is without foun-
dalton in fact. Were his advice
needed he would select neither Nc
Kinley nor Reed as the Republican
candidate for president. Col. New
declined to state whom Gen. Har-
rison would prefer as candidate

he KILLED A RoBBER.
Then Skipped to Mexico Because
He was Afraid of Prosecution.

New YORK, Sept. Pa special
to the Herald from Atlanta, Ga,
says: The case of John S. Smith,
the broker and banker who fled to
Mexico and whose mysterious dis
appearance created such sensa-
ton, has taken new turn. Ac-
cording to his own confession
Smith killed a man on the night of
his disappearance from the city.
He says that on the night in ques-
ton, he started for his home and
had in his pocket 81, ITO in money.
He lived in the suburbs and had
just alighted from his car when
three men shouted "hands up"
Smith, according to his story,
pulled a pistol and fired at the
leader twice, both of the shots TAX
ing effect. The two other men
jumped upon him then and took
from him all the money he had
except 1925. They told him, he
says, that he must leave town i'm
mediately or they would swear he
killed the third man without pro-
vocation. He fled to Mexico. He
wrote back inquiring if there was
a charge of murder against him
and says that when the reply
came, he was down with fever and
could not let his whereabouts be
known

DIsGRAcEFUL CONDUCT.
Five Women, One White, Claim a
Dead Negro az Husband, TO Sc
cure His Estate,

CHICAGO, Sept. lS.-Five women,
fighting for the body of a man
whom each claim as her husband,
was a spectacle presented at one
undertaker's establishment in this
city yesterday. The corpse was
that of Thomas Holbrook, a Negro
who was killed Wednesday morn
ing by Carrie Stewart. Holbrook,
who was 26 years old, had quar-
relied with the woman and she
shot him. Her detention at the
jail on charge OF murder was the
only thing that prevented her be-
ing at the undertaker's with the
other five women, to also claim the
body. The police say the dead
man was not married to any one
OF the six and the only reason they
claim him as a husband is to get
possession of about $1,000 he was
worth. While writs of attachment
and search warrants for the body
were being served on Undertaken
Rolston the corpse was on its way
to Oakwoods cemetery. Public Ad-
ministrator Kinnare and Coroner
McHale had given Mr.. Rolston per-
mission to bury the body at cost
not to exceed 500.
When the lawyers and alleged
bereaved widows learned how they
had been outwitted by the under
taker they became demonstrative
and the police had to be called. A
Negro saloonkeeper, who had tried
to prove that Holbrook's lawful
widow lived at Ala Thirty-third
street, said he would have search
warrant issued against the ceme-
terry. One of the women who
claimed the body was white. She
said she wanted the funeral to take
place from her house.

Bob FitzsImmons.

The world-famed Bob FitZsim-
mons will tomorrow night at the
Grand Opera house make his last
public appearance before his fight
with Corbett for the heavy weight
championship of the world. En-
route to Corpus Christi Fitzsim-
mons has stopped at several cities
and he has been received with I'M
bounded enthusiasm. His athle-
tic exhibition has been pronounced
superb. AS is we'll known Fltz-
simmons is indisputably the best
bag puncher the world has ever
produced, and his skill in this re-
spect is marvellous. Nero, the big
lion which the newspapers have
made famous over two continents,
will appear with Lanky Bob. FitZ
has taught the lion many tricks
remarkable and interesting. FitZ's
two sparing partners will also APP
pear, and FitZ will have a four
round bout with each. Every
branch OF athletic sport will be in
troduced by master, and the en-
tertainment will eclipse anything
OF the kind ever seen in San An
tonic.
The indications are that the
house will be packed, for 1t will be
Fitz's last appearance before the
big fight.

A Gold Bug Idea of Government for This
Time job.
Atlanta, Ga, May 31.-A sensa-
ton was created in the meeting Of
the Southern Wholesale Grocers' as
sociatlon this afternoon when Cap
tain j. Ii. Martin of Memphis, the
largest wholesale dealer in groceries
in the South, exclaimed in the course
of speech: "Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, re-
ceives salary of $4,000 a year.
He should be given one of 100000
and be elected for life"
This statement was made while
the officers salaries were under dis
cussion. Hardly had the words been
uttered when cheer after cheer
fairly shook the walls Of the building
and reached the street beyond. Time
and again President Leigh raped
his gravel for order, but the shout
still went up, while men waved their
hats wildly applauding sentiment
so expressive of their individual con-
victions.
The scene was an impressive one.
1t was several moments before busl-
ness slmmered down to its ordinary
channel, and even then men talked
the happening over among them
selves and paid little attention to
the subsequent speeches. A canvass
of the members of the association
showed them to be practically nnan-
imous in support of President Cleve'
lands financial policy.
