70 China.
New York. Aug. 30.-Li Hung Chang
was the guest OF honor last night at
banquet In the Waldorf, given by for
mer United States ministers to China.
He entered the banquet hall leaning on
the arm Of General J. E. Ward, the first
minister sent by this government to the
Chinese court. President Cleveland
was represented by Assistant Secre-
tary Of State ROckhill.
The viceroy had requested that the
banquet last not more than forty min
utes. At the table he barely nibbled
the delicate dishes set before him, and
would not touch the wines. This was
noticed by his hosts and in few
minutes chop suey and chop sticks
were placed before him and he ate
with relish. Toasts to the honored
guests, to the president, to the emperor
Of China and others were drunk. Ia
Hung Chang responded In q most
gracious speech of thanks and propos-
ed that the banqueters lift up your
glasses and drink to the health of our
old time friends" As the viceroy was
escorted from the room he was loudly
chcered by the seventy gentlemen at
the banquet table.
During the afternoon Mayor Strong
called upon Ii Hung Chang and well
coined him to the city. The interview
took on form of general discussion
Of the American government, especial
ly as applied to cities, the viceroy ask
ing for many minute details, and not
failing to inquire what New York paid

Bryan Holding Up Wen.


jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 3O.-Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Bryan enjoyed day Of ease
after a week of campaigning which has
included speeches In two or three farm.
ing centers and many short ones from
car platforms. Two or three and some
times more long speeches have been
made by Mr.. Bryan each day and the In
tcrvals between have been spent In trav
cling by train or carriages.
Despite this continuous strain, Mr.
Bryan was looking almost as fresh as 9
week ago when he appeared In the hote
dining room this morning. His voict
has lost most of Its h,iskiness which al
one stage Of the tour threatened to bring
1t to IN end.
He and Mrs. Bryan went to the Ffrst
Presbyterian church, where they listened
to sermon by Rev. G. NJ. Colville In ths
morning. Afterward they drove to Lake
wood on Lake Chautauqua, twelve milei
from here. where they were entertained
by Norman f. Mack Of Buffalo. Wher
ever they stirred curious groups gathered
about them. Tomorrow Mr.. Bryan
leaves New York state, probably to re
turn in October when he will speak IL
Brooklyn and other places.
In the morning brief visit Will b
made to Chautauqua; there VIII be
speech at Ripley, and then dash TO
Cleveland, Ohio, where Mr.. Bryan vii
speak tomorrow night.

The final decree has been promul-

Creek nation, as 1t has been handed
down by Judge Adams. chief Justice of
the supreme court OF the nation. in the
citizenship case. 1t strikes from the
rolls of the citizenship Of the nation
the names of over 100 negroes. The
decision holds that the action Of the
Indian council, after the passage of
the emancipation act by the United
States, In admitting the negroes to
tribal relations, was unconstitutional,
and therefore at this time invalid. Since
the passage of the act these negroes
have drawn In annuities 81 .000. 900 from
the Creek government; have held posi-
tions Of ofncial trust, and have I'M

children at the nations expense for
twenty years. From the decision Of the

STOPPED THE PUMPS.
LEApvILLE MINE OWNERS ACT.
CITY lines for WAils Ovlag y tn
Great EHpsass.

Leadville, Colo, Aug. 5l.-A move
which has been anticipated for several
weeks past was realized yesterday. The
great pumping plant Of the Penrose and
Bon Air mines has been closed down IN
der instructions from the general mana
ger. Eben Smith.
These two plants are located IN what
Is known as the downtown section and
drain a very large territory, embracing
some of the richest mines In the district.
These two properties were working on
the $3.50 basis when the strike occurred.
They. Of course, were compelled to close
when the miners union called out the
men, but the pumps were continued In
operation at very heavy expense. As
these pumps kept other mines dry. 1t was
very important that they should be coll
tinued In operation. No attempt was
made on the part OF the union to call out
the pumpmen or the engineers, % that
the pumping plants have run asong as
usual until the present time.
At late hour Saturday night, word
was received by the superintendent In
charge to shut down the pumps. This or
der was promptly carried out and by
morning both OF the properties were ST.
lent. The Penrose was pumping 800 gal
Ions minute and the Bon Air 500 gal
Ions minute. BY this means the Wei
don mine. the Bohn mine, the Coronado
mine. the SIKH Street mine, the Bsor
mine and the Northern mine were KEEP
free from water. The result will be Il
completely drown these prope'ties 30 tha
they cannot be drained agah excepting
at enormous expense.
As Eben Smith is In Derver, his rea
sons for the closing down eannot be oh
taIned. 1t Is understood, however, tina
Mr.. Smith was endeav0ing to secur
the cooperation Of Other companies II
paying for the pumping expense. sucl
an arrangement was In existence be
tween the Maid of Eril and other prop
critics In that vicinity. 1t would appea
from the action that h. could not secur
the desired help and consequently tool
hit SttP "DlSh UTSh ~ AohS ANaASo+
This action, of cowse. has much bear
ing ON the strike situation. The foodin;
Of the properties practically amounts II
their total destruction, at least for th
present time. This. of course, is mos
serious condition Of affairs, for 1t Is likel!
to throw out Of employment permanent
ly at least thousand men.
The miners union officials state that i
will make no difference 80 far as thu
strike Is concerned 1t takes away tb'
fear. they claim, that these mints woult
be operated by imported labor. Htnce
they are rather satisfied than Cherwis'
at the turn affairs have taken. Th@ be
lieve that this turn may bring mattIn tt
crisis sooner than was expected. 1
1t 10 dimcult to forsee just whaSe6ec
this movement will have, but frdh the
fact that all these properties are ertalr
to remain idle for months, thereih nj
question but that the conditions al mos
deplorable and unfortunate.

Big Crowd to Hear Bryan.

jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 3O.-william
]. Bryan spoke last night In the con-
vention hall at Celeron. on Lake Chau-
tauqua, two miles from this city. The
determination Of twice as many people
as the hall could hold to hear the
presidential candidate resulted In a
crush which would have ended In great
loss Of life II the panic which for half
an hour seemed imminent had not been
prevented. The hall contains seats for
5000 people, but fully 1900 were
packed into its frail walls, fighting for
mere standing room an hour before
the speech making began.
