to formally welcome the Ambassador to
the United States. Gen. Ruger, on behalf
of the President, gave him the freedom
of the country. On arriving at the dock
the Ambassador was welcomed by eighty
Of his fellow-countrymen. They stood in
a line three deep, surrounded by palms
and facing a strip of red felt, placed for
Ii Hung Chang to walk upon. The Chi
namen were in holiday attire and headed
by Consuls General SEE, of New York
City, and Wy Yu, of Cuba.
Pleased with HE Rece ption.
Earl Ii, accustomed as he Is to pomp
and ostentatious ceremony, was evidently
pleased with his reception. His mobile
face assumed placid, smiling expression
and his manner, while dgnifed, was easy
and unconventional. He looked well, too.
While he is an aged man, time has not
cut many marks on his strong face. He
stood the voyage well and was not trou-
bled with illness of any kind. Drawn up
to receive the Emperor Of China's repre-
sentative were eighty blue jackets of the
First Battalion, New York State Naval
Reserve, under the command of Lieuten-
ant Commander George T.. Kent, Lieut.
w. H. Staylor and Ensigns Macfarlane
and Mouton. They formed n guard of
honor from the steamship to the space on
the wharf set apart and decorated for his
reception. The amateur tars, the palms,
the red decorations and bowling and bend
ing mandarins in their gaudy silks of
many colors made indeed an uusual and
picturesque scene. The Ambassador pass

capable of seating comfortably about
1000 people, and is admirably adapted for
the purpose of a large public meeting. The
interior and exterior of the building were
handsomely draped with bunting in the
national colors, interspersed with the
stars and stripes and other patriotic and
appropriate devices. The rear of the
stage was ornamented with life-sized por-
traits of Jefferson, Jackson and Joseph
Mcdonald on the one side, and Cleveland,
Tilden and Hendricks on the other. In
the center and over the head of the chair
man was large eagle with shield and
flags. The rear of the stage was cur
tanned off with red, white and blue bunt-
ing. To the right and left of the stage
bunting was arranged to represent a sun
burst with curtains made of immense ma
tional banners. Fan-shaped curtains of
the same material extended from the right
to the left of the stage overhead. The
stage itself was raised some four feet
above the general level of the floor so as

Rostovsky, Russian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, died suddenly while travelling
from Vienna to that place. Prince Loban-
Rostovsky was in the company of the
Gar at the time of his death, and his de-
mise was wholly without warning.
The news of the death of Prince Loban-
off Rostovsky, according to the dispatch
to the Telegraph, caused great excitement
throughout Russia. where the personality
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs was
considered to be second only to the Car
himself. Prince Lobanoff- -Rostovsky pur-
sued strong foreign policy-a policy
which was regarded in some quarters as
threa tening the peace of the world.

In calling the convention to order Sena-
tor Palmer struck a responsive chord.
The calling of the roll was also accom-
panied by great enthusiasm as party lead
ers answered for their respective States.
Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming were
the only States whose names passed un-
answered. OF the Territories Arizona,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory had no
delegates present.
Temporary organization was then eff
fected, with ex-Gov. Roswell L. Flower
of New York as chairman and John r..
Wilson of Indiana as secretary. Mr..
Flower was loudly cheered as he took the
gavel from Senator Palmer, and In a
speech which was literally applauded
throughout he addressed the convention.
After the roll of States had been called
for the members of the committees on res
olutions and credentials, national commit
teemen and vice presidents a recess for
two hours was taken at o'clock.

KING MENELEK'S INDEP


 The Pope's influence has failed to se- cure the release of the Italian prisoners in Abyssinia. It is said that his shrewd councillors disapproved an at- tempt so little likely to succeed at a time when his Holiness cannot afford to risk the Papal prestige; but gene rous pity overcame their reasoned ob- 1ections. As if to emphasize the refu- sal Menelek has set free sixty-four officers and men of his own accord. They report that the Abyssinian mon arch is not such barbarian as is com monly supposed. He reads the leading Italian journals through an interpreter it is well for the prisoners that he cannot understand them himself Menelek desires to make himself equal to the European sovereigns; and this fact represents progress for all his pre- iecessors firmly believed themselves to be already equal or superior. The Ital- an officers are frequently questioned about the manners and customs of roy atty in Europe. His queen actually wears dresses from Paris and stock ings, shoes, etc. Many French families are settled-at and near Entotto, where the Negus has a palace, and they sup ply these articles. One would like to know what the prisoners mean exactly by many" It may be credited, how ever, that Abyssinia is about to under

merly an ambulance surgeon, at first under the Turkish government, and af- forwards to the Stafford House com mission in South Africa, observed the effects which pure air had on wounds when exposed to it's influence During and after the Zulu war he was in structed to administer surgical relief to the wounded natives-which by the way, they were most unwilling to &C., cept. He could not, however, help re- marking that the natives carried their own wounded to the hilltops, several thousand feet above the level of the sea, where the wounds were exposed to the action of the atmosphere, and washed with water several times daily. Under this simple and primitive treat ment severe wounds healed rapidly, partly, no doubt, owing to the pure blood of the patients, and partly to the fact that they abstained from alcoholic stimulants, but even more, as the ob- server believed, was the result due to the action of the oxygen in the air. The idea was not lost on Dr. Stoker, who ultimately arrived at the conclu- Sion that wounds and ulcers might sat isfactorily be healed by exposure to OK ygen gas. Thirteen years later, on his return to England, he began treating cases of the kind-by enclosing the parts affected In a wooden box, with a glass lid, at the end of which is an aperture, fitted with an india-rubber funnel, for the admission of the infect ed limb A mixture, half pure oxygen and half pure air, Is introduced into the box from an indla-rubber bag. Other apparatus are used for affections of the eye, ear, nose, head and trunk The first effect Of the oxygen on the wound is to relieve pain; and, when visiting Ethe home, I saw case of woman who, although she had passed through many forms of attempted cure, had not enjoyed a nights complete rest for eighteen years, yet who now is free from suffering and on the high road to health. As is familiarly known, oxy- gen is a powerful sanitary agent, and it well retains It's power in this treat ment dissipating all offensive odors like magic.
 It was observed, from the beginning that on many of the parts exposed to the gas hair grew with astonishing ra- pidity, and it was determined to try the effect of the oxygen in cases of prema- ture badness. A girl of eight, who had been bald for several years, was fitted with a cap made of india-rubber, kept |constantly filled with pure oxygen
 Her hair grew with astonishing rapidi- ty, and is now in a normal condition. A boy who was affected on the front of one of his eyes, and who, under treat qnent, wore a shield over the upper part of his face, after a few weeks de- veloped eyebrows and eyelashes of an extraordinary length. The treatment seems admirably adapted to the cure of wounds and ulcers, not only in the ex- tremities, but in all parts of the body. | London Telegraph.

HARTFORD YACHT CLUB.
It's Annual Regatta Held on the Raging
 Cnnnecticut.


 Connecticut.
 Cromwell, Sept 2l.-In every respect was the annual fall regatta of the Hartford Yacht club held on the Con necticut river opposite here a success, Towards the latter part of the day a lively single reef breeze sprang up which made the last races interesting. The first race was started at 11:13. It was the power boat event. Five yachts were entered. The course was three miles down the river and return. The Trio, owned by John U. Reed of Hart ford, won; time 42:29. The Irene, own ed by Charles Doolittle of Windsor, was second, and the Luzetta, c. M. Spencer, Windsor, third. At 12:16 the two sailing events for boats of class A and of class B were started.

Railway and Miscellaneous Stocks Were
 Stronger and Higher Yesterday.

Railway and Miscellaneous Stocks Were
 Stronger and Higher Yesterday.
 New York, Sept. 21--The railway and miscellaneous stock market was strong and higher to-day. Business was not active by any means, but the trading was well distributed. The de- mand from outside sources, as of late, was light, but the professional element was generally arrayed on the bull side of the account The latter were more favorably impressed with Saturdays bank statement, the easier condition of the money market, the arrivals of gold from Europe, and the reports of the starting of mills both in New England and Pennsylvania.
 Money on time was in better supply, and a few transactions were reported at 6 per cent. on good stock exchange collateral without commission. In regard to gold importations it was an- nounced that e203, 900 American eagles had been sold by the Bank of Eng land for shipment to New York. The opinion obtained that at least fifteen millions additional will be forwarded to this country in the near future This would bring the total importations since August 2S up to fifty millions.
 At intervals operators were disposed to take profits, but the offerings were quickly absorbed, and near the close a number of stocks sold at the best fig ures of the day. The unfavorable re- ports of the Northwest road for Au- gust and of the Northern Pacific for the second week of September were generally ignored. Manhattan was the special feature, and after an early de- cline to S5A jumped to SS0S75s.
 A report was current that a deal was on foot with the Metropolitan Trac- ton. Sugar, Leather preferred, Lack awanna. Erie first preferred, the gran gers. Reading, Northern Pacific prefer red and Western Union moved up 1k@2 per cent. Chicago Gas gained a point on a story that the officials of the va rious companies in Chicago were en- deavoring to arrive at an understand ing in regard to rates, etc.
 In the final dealings the grangers and the low priced issues were in par ticularIy good request. Speculation left off strong, with prices from 1k to 24 per cent. higher than at the close on Saturday.
 Bonds were active and strong. Total sales were $1, ,0G9 .600.
