Maddern Fiske's new play The
Right TO Happiness" is novel in
theme. Its leading character is
new TO the stage, ard is said to
give Mrs. Fiske an admirable op-
'ortunity fer the display of her
unique powers as an actress. The
olay was originally in German, and
enjoyed a run st ore of the best OF
he Berlin theatres. 1t has been
adapted by Marguerite Meringtop,
one of the brightest of American
dramatists, and author of "Lettar
blair, with which L. III. Sotherr
was so successful. Miss Mering
ton is said to have put much origi.
nal work into The Right to Hap
piness," which is declared to be a
drama OF fine comedy as well as Of
intense interest, with heart con
Germ that is absorbing and happily
satisfied at the end.

Mohammedans Massacred in China by
Imperial Orders.
Vancouver. B. G., Aug. 14.-The steam.
er Empress of Japan, which arrived
Wednesday night, brought mail advices
from the orient as follows: The news
from gKansu is that the famous Tung
'Fuhsiang, in obedience to the imperial
command, has begun a massacre of
all Mohammedans that he comes across.
At Hsining-Fu he slew 5000 business
men and sold their wives and female
children. Fears are entertained of a
general uprising, especially in Pintain-
Flu and Haitien, which have hitherto
remained faithful.
Floods are doing terrible damage in
China. In many places entire towns
and villages are submerged. All rail-
roads have stopped running. Many
deaths have taken place and hundreds
of homeless men, women and children
are starving to death.

which has been offered TO them. !

SPAIN WANTS CASH,
Demands Indemnity for Filibustering
Expeditions.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Spain is pre-
pairing to present a heavy bill for dam
ages against the limited States on ac-
count of the operations of Cuban fiji
clustering expeditions. Calderor Carr.
Isle, the. legal adviser of the Spanish
|legation, has submitted to Minister De
Lone, by his direction, avolu1ninous
report on s'fhe legal aspect Of hostilities
committed by vessels pecially equipped
in whole or in part within the United
States for warlike uses, and by mill
5tary expeditions and enterprises car
ried on from the territory of the United
States, against the Spanish dominion
in Cuba during the present insurrec.
tion.' .@z-
There can be no question, according
to Mr.: Carlisle, that the United States
are and have been fully cognizant of the
state OF instruction in Cuba. More,
over, the Spanish government, through
its accredited minister and other repre-
sentatiyes, has not failed repeatedly to
warn the authorities -though generally
in vain----of the impending purpose OF
Glibustering expeditions about to leave
various ports. r..-
These facts, says the brief, are so no
torious and the violations of neutrality
Sc fragrant that the claims of the Span
ish government arising Hereunder arc
entitled to every consideration as wei
grounded and lawful.
In concluding the first section o.
his report Mr.. Carlisle says the powers
invested in the president of the United
States have not been effectively used ;o1
preventing the carrying on of military
expeditions forbidden by, the statutes
Whatever pretext. andsattempts may be
made to carry on these expeditions az
peaceful and lawful voyages, the fact
remains, says the attorney, that from
the beginning of the instruction the
base of supplies for war material has
been in the United States.

FAST MAIL WORK.
Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery IL

Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery In
~. Large Cities.
q It would not be surprising, says Har.
aper's Round Table, to find Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington connected by tubes, ell.
aiding letters and parcels to, be for.
warded in as many hours as it now
takes days. The telegraph companies
will be seriously affected by the new
system.
The operation is very simple. The
letters are placed in a leather tube or
carrier, which fits snugly into the pneu-
matte tube. Then blast of air from be-
hind, or the suction OF air from the
front, or a combination of the two
methods, forces the carrier and it's con.
tents forward. AS the friction sooH
wears out the leather carriers, Amer.
lean genius will be called upon to in.
vent a metal carrier on ball bearings. .
With leather tubes about so per cent. ci
the power applied is lost in overcoming
friction and in waste, only ten per cent.
of the total force applied being used to
propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
y letters in Paris was IS cents each in
1879, and the territory covered was but
q small part of the city. To-day every
part of Paris is reached by the tubes,
and the charge is ten cents per letter,
the same as our special delivery. Nins
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected. Probably many Of the
readers have one or more of them. They
bear map of the city on the face Of tic
envelope, showing the different sections
served by this post. The Berlin and
Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in
design. There are no special designs o.

BIG RACES.
Some Of the worlds Best PAGERS WIN h
Seen on the Gr0und

q rs
w. w. p, the great PAGER that was
the sensation of theaDetroit meeting of
last month, has been booked byPresi.
dent Weaver for the state fair. He
was authorized by the racing commit
tee month ago to secure the best star
event possible to- be added to the rae
ing program already arranged, and this
is the result. w. w. p. is regarded by
many horsemen as likely to carry off
the highest honors of the turf before
the season is over. At Detroit, So, 500
was offered for the free-for-al pace:
ST, 900 of the amount was offered to the
winner for the first heat, the beaten
horses to race, best two in three, on a
subsequent day for the balance. of the
money, $1,000. 1t is needless to say
that the first heat was a warm one, the
most exciting of the meeting wv. W:
P. won cleverly in 2:O51, defeating
among others Frank .Agan, who at Co.
lumbus, a week later, defeated Patch
en- and Gentry. making the fastest
fourth heat on record.
w. w. P. is to be shown at the fair
on two days He is to be put against
the worlds wagon record, 2:os11. and
the record of the track, 2:O7, made by
Nancy Hanks. Frank B. Loomis, his
owner, is confident he will accomplish
both undertakings, for he is in fine
fettle and is doing his best work.
Another star feature President Wea-
yer has booked for three days the state
fair is decided novelty. 1t is Marion
Miles, the phenomenal PAGER, with a
record of going mile in 2:12M with
out a strap or prompter of any kind.
The mare is harnessed to sulky and
without bride, reins or driver goes
around the track like wind without a
break. 1t is likely that the entries for
the 2:0s pace will also include several
horses of national reputation. The en-
tries close Friday. A purse for three
year old trot has also been added and
there are to be several running races
not yet announced.
