The National Democratic convention will

clare for honest money and other Demo-

name they stole, and utterly undemocratfc
1t is unfortunate that the Democratic ma

HNTE-ELECTION PRAYER.
Special Invocation Promulgated by
bishop Henry G. Potter.

NEW YORK, Sept. bishop Henry c..
Potter, of the Episcopal Church, has pro-
mulgated the following new prayer for the
use of the churches in his diocese from
now until election:
20 Almighty Lord, who fashicnest the
hearts of men and considereSt all their
works, grant, we beseech Thee, to US and
to all the people of this land the spirit of
obedience to Thy commandments; that.
walking only in Thy fear, we may, under
Thy mighty protection, continue 10 dwell
in righteousness and peace. Defend our
liberties, preserve our unity, save US from
dishonesty, laWlessnesS and violence, from
dfscord and confusion, from pride and ar
rogance and from every evil day. Con-
tinue Thy goodness to US that the heritage
received from our fathers may be pre-
served in our time and transmitted unim-
paired to the generations to come: that all
the nations of the earth may know that
Thou, O Lord, art our Savior and mighty
deliverer and our king forever. Grant this,
we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen"
Regarding this prayer the Rev. VIM. x.
MCGOWAN, of Grace Emanuel Church. said:
Bishop Potter has the authority to at
any time, whenever occasion demands or
the necessity exists, to devise or formulate
such a special prayer as he may deem ap-
propriate and send it to the clergy of our
diocese to be read for a stated period or
until he requests its discontinuance. Any
great calamity, threatened pestilence or
any such case might be deemed a time
for special prayer"

LII ADMINISTERS TAFFY.
The Viceroy Likes America and
American Ways.
New York Special.

Soon after he returned to the hotel one
of the Earls secretaries, in answer to
many requests from the reporters for an
expression Of Ii Hung Changes opinion,
gave out the following statement, with
the announcement that it was authorized
by the Earl:
His Excelency is very much pleased
with the United States. He thinks it is
the greatest foreign country that he haa
been in. The inventive turn OF mind OF
the people he regards as phenomenal. The
sights that he has seen here. and the
York city are such as he has never known
before, because they are unknown in
China and European countries.
For instance, such a thing as a man
investing SIS, 0o0,00 in gold in a house like
the Waldorf Hotel, as Mr.. Astor has done,

travelling through the European cities.

His Exeelleney enjoyed immensely the
f Fift6 ne a1e mad to1 ia to up sour your beautiful athat
that he had never in all his life seen so
many large buildings, one after the other.
Never had people in Europe or Asia
thought if possible TO erect twenty-four-
story buildings. 1t showed now enterpris-
ing and wonderful the American people
are. The architecture of the buildings was,
too, pleasing to his eye.
His Excellency says that the country is
greater in many ways than any he visited
in Europe. As to the people he likes their
free and easy methods; everything is
above board; everybody seems to be hap
Ply: they make one feel comfortable.
His Excellency admires the American
people for their push and ambition: their
desire to create everything on a grander
scale than was ever known before, and
for their patriotism. There is nothing. his
Excellency says, about the American peo-
pie which he admireS more than their 10y
atty to the flag under which they live.
So deep is their patriotism that public off,
GERS become poor men in the service of
their country.
His Excellency is enthusiastic over Pres
ident Cleveland. He likes him. He likes
his manner. AT first the reception was
most formal, and then it became CORE
Spondingly informal.
His Excellency was delighted. While
we were returning to the hotel his Excel
lency told me how much he liked Mr..
Cleveland and his easy manner.
The Viceroy is enjoying excellent health.
He has entirely recovered from the little
fatigue of his voyage, which, / might say,
we all looked upon as an excursion.
During the trip the sea was calm and
everything was most enjoyable. We met
many delightful American women. We
like the American women. They are bright
and vivacious.
1t will be seen by this that Ii Hung
Chang desires to please, which surely is
quite as admirable as a genuine admira-
ton for our tall buildings, and perhaps
that is genuine, too.

sation does not prevent him from arriving
at logical and deeply considered results.
No doubt quite q little of his desultory,
pointed and unconventional heterogeneous
is due to his Asiatic popularity: but Ii
Hung Chang is too old. too wise and too
willy an observer To ask many foollsE- and
useless questions. The evident conjecture
is that the veteran diplona at is asking his
questions IN his own way in order to hide
as far as possible his own secret lines OF
inquiry. BY asking all manner of ques-
ti5ns. he blindfolds everybody as to his
real objects. and thus he elicits the infor--
all his many close scrutinizers ferreting
out the impeiling and important motives
of his tour or talk. The fact is he has
fooled all the diplomats of the Western

a Possible Cause of Crime.
Philadelphia Record

Even the most cursory reader of the daily
news must have noticed that within the last
few weeks there has been a marked out
cropping of crimes against life and prop
erty. These crimes have been of an I'M
usually audacious nature, such as the as
sassination of a postmaster by burglars at
Bedford. n. Y. and the atrociouS murder
of a Burlington \. j. Stcrekeeper by gar
rioters. Their uniform trend suggests some
cause out of the common, and raises the
utable in part. at least. to the anarchistic
teachings which have found too frequent
utterance in Inc present campaign. What
ever their cause. they point a moral of in
creased vigilance everywhere, and the
moral is not alone for the police. The peo-
pie who hoard valuables are in a sense, ac-
cessory TO such predatory crimes. and they
invite peril by a practice for which there is
no excuse in these times when safe de-
post facilities are available in every com
munitN.

COAL FROM THE ORIENT
ANTHRACITE MINED IN TONQUIN
SELLING IN THIS COUNTRY.
Dangerous Rival to the Pennsylvania
ArtfcIe-FormOsa Still Uncon-
guered by

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. China has
thrown down the gauntlet to the big coal
miners of the United States. The Ameri-
can bark Colorado, which has just ar
rived in port, brought a mixed sample
cargo of anthracite and manufactured ccal,
mined and made in the Tonquin district.
1t was consignd to a coal dealing firm
of this city which promises to push the
Chinese fuel on the coast market at prices
greatly below those which Penn
sylvania and Welsh Goals of the
character are now bringing. Tx
aiming experts have pronounced the
Tonquin coal beds almost nexhaustible.
Chinese article is in the market to
stay, it is said, at least as long as the
present tariff conditions exist. Tonquin,
since the Tonquin war, has been under the
control of the French, and it is French cap
ita1 that is now developing the mines, but
the land is still populated by Chinese as
before, and it is the cheap Chinese labor
that is employed in the mines, hence the
extremely low cost of production, which
enables the French owners of the Tonquin
mines to undersell the coal products OF
the other countries, where the labor is bet
ter paid. The coal from the Orient is said
to he Of the finest quality, fully equal to
the best Pennsylvania or Welsh coal.

SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-According to Japa-
nese advices received to-day Formosa con-
tinues in a state of rebellion against Japa-
nese rule. This japanese forces are kept
constantly alert in an endeavor to subdue
the rebels. Discussing this state of affairs,
the Japanese Daily Mail urges the imme-
date suppression of the uprising and says:
There are certain foreign countries that
have long turned longing eyes upon For
mosa and are most anxious to get possess
sion OF it. If. in view of these repeated
disturbances and our failure to administer
the island, the world decides that Japan
is not competent to hold it what a bitter
disgrace it will be to her. Continuing, the
paper says the only way in which the gov
eminent can raise funds for the suppress
sion of disorder and to bring about peace
is Ito take a really bold step by raising
a loan, domestic and foreign, on security
of the island. If Formosa be placed in
pledge there would be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning 100, 10000 yen, for foreigners would
be ellghted to go into such an invest
ment.'

A bold and successful break for liberty
was made Wednesday evening about
1880 by seven Of the prisoners confined
IN the county jail-this being the first
time such thing having happened
since Tailor Stamps has had charge,
although attempts had been made at
different times before.
The names of five of those who escaped
are as follows: Lee Scantlin, felony ;
HUT, counterfeiting Winfrey, forgery
smith, horse stealing, and Sid Jackson
burglary. All but Jackson are white.
The facts in the delivery are about as
Follows: As was his usual custom
Tailor Stamps entered the corridor
alone at the above time to lock the
prisoners In their cells for the night and
had locked three in one of the cages
when, on turning the corner, he was
assaulted by Sid jackson, who struck
him In the face, when some of the other
prisoners, who had previously prepared
II, threw blanket over Stamps head
forcing him to the floor and tying him
IN such manner as to almost choke
MIN and 30 he could not move. Then
the brute of a negro jumped on the
PROSTATE jailor, kicking him in the
stomach and face and seriously iniuring
him. They then took the key to the
outside door, which they had taken
from the jailor, and unlocked 1t and
went down stairs. They were seen
coming down by Mrs. Stamps and son,
but they We're powerless to stop the
escaping men. They, however, gave
the alarm and fastened to the assistance
of Mr.. Stamps.
Except that everyone was excited
their capture would have been easy,
but, as is usual in such cases, everyone
was too much excited to do any good,
and all made their escape, and up to
yesterday morning nothing had been
learned of their whereabouts, although
ofhcers had been searching diligently.
jackson would have suffered summary
punishment had he been captured that
night, as it was at first feared Mr..
Stamps would not recover from the
injuries he inflicted on him. He is now,
however, much better, and the fact of
the escape appears to hurt him more
than his injuries.
Scantlin, it is feared, will not submit
easily to arrest. He is the party who
attempted to shoot Deputies Winfrey
and HALEY at the time of his arrest and
was himself seriously wounded in the
melee. Jackson, some think, is in hid.
