DEFIANT CHINAMEN.
They Snub the Consuls Of America

IN TIE KUoHENG INVESTIGATION.

Tho consuis Not Even Allowed to be
Present Daring the Examination OF the
Prisoners-soidisrs Engaged In Piunder-
ing the People.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 20 "A dispatch from
Foo Chow says 1t is reported on good au'
thorlty there that the Chinese government
has refused to allow the American and
British consuls, Mr.. j. G. Hixson and Mr..
n. w. Mansfield, who accompanied the
commission appointed to investigate the
recent massacrcs of missionaries and their
families at Kucheng to make any inves-
tigation into the circumstances of the
massacre.
LONDON, Aug 2o-The Times has q
dispatch from Hong Kong confirming the
Shanghai dispatch containing the report
that the Chinese government has refused
co allow the American and British oonsuls
TO mako any Investigation into the Ku-
cheng massacre. They are not even al
lowed to be present during the examine
tion Of the prisoners. The Times dispatch
adds that soldiers are engaged In plumber
ing the people, who feel that the foreign
ers are the cause Of their suffering, and
that therefore the latter should be de-
stroyed. Further incendiary placards have
been posted ut Canton.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
1t Is Not Feared There That Serious Com
pIicatlons win Arise.

piicatlons VIII Arise.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 20.--The officials Of
the Chinese legation havo no information
throwing any light on the reported re-
fusal of the home government to permit
the members OF the mixed British and
American commission to investigate the
kuoheng massacre. In fact, the legation
has not yet been apprised officially Of the
appointment Of the commission. The
only explanation given as a reason for
the reported refusal 10 that the action re-
ported to have been taken was by the
Chinese local officials, who possibly have
not been informed by the central govern
ment Of the appointment of the commits
sion to mako the Investigation, the local
officials acting merely on their own in
elination in the premises.
II the reported action Of the Chinese be
correct 1t Is apparently not a matter Of
very great surprise to the officials of the
state department here. They attribute
any refusal Of the local authorities to per-
init the commission to investigate the
troubles to the we'll known desires OF the
Chinese to conduct such inquiries by their
swn people, the dislike to having any In
terference by outsiders, and to the gen.
sral suspiciousness with which they look
upon foreigners
The present troubles. the officials say,
ere not dissimilar In any material respect
from others that have occurred from time
70 time In the diplomatic history of the
governments interested, and n glance at
the British and American blue books will
substantiate this statement.
A somewhat analogous case to the pres
sent 1t Is said, is found in that of Ray
mond Margory, q British officer In the
consular service, who was killed in the
province of Yunan about fifteen or sixteen
years ago. In this instance the British
government demanded reparation, and the
appointment Of q commission to make an
Investigation resulted At first there was
decided objection by the local officials to
having foreigners take part In the In
Quiry, but the matter was finally adjusted
in way apparently satisfactory to the
British.
1t is not feared here in official circles
but that any complications that may have
arisen in the present case will be adjusted
and ample reparation be made for the
lives that were lost in the Kuoheng mas
gAcre.

In virginia.
There is 10 record Of his having at
tended any school except that of the
parish of Kirkbean, but he developed a
truly Scotch passion for reading and
writing. He went co sea when IL years
old and made two voyages during his
minority in a SLAYER, but hating the
traffic he left it and the ship too At 20
he was in command of a fine brigantina

O threatened criminal prosecution for
having had a carpenter logged, which
was the usual mode of punishment in
those days The matter was investigat-
ed, and Paul Jones was fully acquitted
1t is worthy Of remark that the mag
istrate who inquired into that matter
notes that Paul Jones expressed great
sorrow for having had the man logged,
although the charge of cruelty was fully
disproved. He returned to Scotland once
after this, and although affectionately
received by his own family his friends
and neighbors seem to have treated him
coldly. The smart from this injustice
turned the Indifference he felt for his
native land into hatred. and ever after
he considered himself quite free from
any responsibility for having been born
and having spent the first 10 years OF
his life in so inhospitable country.
In his twenty seventh year q great
and fortunate change occurred to him.
His brother William, who had emigrat-
ed to Virginia and died there. left him
an estate. There is no doubt that Paul
Jones was often afterward in want of
ready money, but it must be remem-
bered that everybody was in want of
ready money in the eighteenth century.
Certain it is, from his papers preserved
at Washington, that he might be consid-
cred at the beginning of the war man
of independent fortune.
The two years Of his life in Virginia
are obscure, as might be expected from
q man living the life of a provincial
country gentleman, which the records
concerning him prove. At the outbreak
of war with the mother country Paul
Jones fastened to Philadelphia, and
through Mr.. Joseph Hewes. member
of congress from North Carolina, got
his commission as senior first lieutenant
in the infant navy of the colonies 1t
was then he made the acquaintance Of
Robert Morris, to whom he felt pas
sionate gratitude and affection, and
whom he named as sole executor in his
will, Mr.. Hewes being then dead

She wilted Him.

There is one patron Of the North
Pennsylvania street line who has the
reputation of being most dreadfully dis
agreeable. The conductors say he is a
kicker. and the neighbors say he has the
dyspepsia. Anyway he generally creates
a scene wherever he goes, but since a
recent experience he is little particu-
lar about his conduct ON a street car.
He boarded crowded car at-well,
some street between Ohio and Seventh.
The aisle was filed with persons hold.
ing on to the straps. he stood for a Sec
ond in the doorway and glowered at
those within. The conductor placed his
hand on the shoulder of the bad tenn
pered man and said:
Pass ON, please, and don't stand il
the doorway
The disagreeable man turned his head
a bit and snapped in return:
Don't get gay. Stop your pushing,
or I'll report
The unfortunate man, while making
this speech to the conductor, did not OBJ
serve that woman was attempting TO
pass out. Like many others, he thought
the car had stopped for him alone. But
his Grabbed remarks were cut short by
an energetic shove from the lady passen-
ger. She thought his cutting remarks
were aimed at her, and in high pitched
voice she replied:
"You are insulting. sir, and very IN
gentlemanly. / must get out, and If you
are not enough of gentleman to allow
me to pass l shall do some reporting
The bad tempered man tried to explain
and apologize, but the woman brushed
past him. All the passengers heard tho
remarks and witnessed the incident, and
the disagreeable man looked truly

sAYagvlLe,s AMAZING Hues.
Jersey BIasphrmy In Yellow Set In Z
Symphony of Blue.

Jersey BIasphemy In Yellow Set In =
Symphony of Blue.
Probably the most remarkable bit Of
color to be found within a radius of 100
miles from this city is the little hamlet
of Sayreville, N. J. From an artists
point of view Sayreyille is impression
istic in the nightmare sense of the word.
Its surroundings are beautiful, for it
stands ON little bluff overlooking a
spreading marsh, through the center of
which a sparkling river runs to lose
itself in rift of the PARKWAY hills. The
marsh is dull, grayish blue, the river
gives a steel blue effect, and far away
the distance of the hills blends in soft
gradations into the hue of the sky. In
che midst of this gem Of landscape
stands Sayreyille, yellow in every sense
of the word 1t is blasphemy in yell
low set in symphony in blue.
In the neighboring villages there is q
legend as to how Sayreville became yell
low. They say that when the town was
first built there wasn't painted house
in it, and that one day an enterprising
peddler on his notion selling rounds
saw in this an opportunity for money
making. He procured large quantity
of damaged paint at a nearby city, all
of the paint being in various hues Of
yellow, from bright orange down to the
dullest buff. This paint he carted to
Sayreville and sold at low prices, and
still with large profit to himself. Then
the town set about painting itself yell
low. Some of the people pooled their
interests and their paints and ornament
ed their houses with the combination.
Others ran to stripes, and having used
up one tint filled in with the rest. One
man tried polka dots in chrome on a
background of greenish buff, with bril-
liant effect. When the work was done,
the peddler came back with big con-
signment of staring green, which the
townspeople bought, and with which
they painted their blinds. The result
was pleasing to the Sayrevillers, but
startling to such few outsiders as
CHANGED to journey to that town.
In the course of time two household
ers found courage to break away from
the prevailing yellowness. One repaint-
ed his house in robins egg blue, the
other tinted his a deep magenta, and
now these two buildings stand out con-
spicuously and give just enough color
tone to the village to accentuate its
amazing effects in yellow. New York
