and Terror, the ram Katahadin and the
dispatch boat Dolphin, with the Recep-
tion Committee on board. The men-of-
war formed in double column, and as
the St. Louis passed between the lines
saluted in turn with the roar of their
batteries.
The committee from the Dolphin
boarded the ST. Louis off Quarantine
and accompanied Lii Hung Chang to the
pier Of the American Line at the foot
OF Fulton street, where the landing was
made
Preparations for the reception of the
famous Chinaman had been carefully
arranged. Major General Thomas Ru-
! ser, Commander of the Department Of
the East, as the personal representative
Of President Cleveland, with his two
staff officers, Major George w. Davis
and Captain Mills; William w. Rock
bill, First Assistant Secretary of State,
representing his department; the Chi
ncse Minister, Yang Yu, and Secretary;
/ the Chinese Consul SEE, and q repre-
! sentative of the United Associated
/ Presses, boarded the United States dis
patch boat Dolphin to meet the EN-
/ bassador
AS the st. Louis steamed up toward
| Quarantine, along the rail Of the hur-
ricane deck could be seen a row of
/ strongly marked Chinese faces, all
! eagerly noting the different objects of
! interest in the harbor. They peered
cut Of their slant eyes with look of
wondering establishment at the impress
s!ve fleet lying idly at anchor. They
/ talked hurriedly to each other and
kept continually pointing at the death
| dealing naval machines.
At the masthead of the ST. Louis
floated the imperial colors of China, the
yellow flag, with an immense dragon
boldly outlined in the center in natural
colors, blue, red, green and yellow.
When the ST. Louis came to quaran-
tine a steam launch was lowered from
the davits of the Dolphin, and the re-
ceiving party conveyed over to the big
liner
A score of steam yachts and a dozen
or more excursion steamers passed in
and out among the war vessels and pro-
ceeded down to the narrows to meet
the st. Louis. From the arrival of the
st. Louis in the upper bay the journey
to her wharf was among a fleet of tugs,
steamboats, and yachts filled with peo-
pie anxious to get a glimpse of the Chi
nese ambassador and suite. At quar-
antine the health officers boat went
alongside the St Louis, and Dr. Doty
boarded her Immediately after she
| passed the narrows.
1t was l2:4o o'clock when the launch
from the Dolphin got alongside the
gangway and the Reception Committee
went aboard. The revenue cutter went
alongside. and a detachment of police
from the police boat also boarded the
steamship. The excursionists on the
| steamboats, saluted the distinguished
| traveller by discharging hundreds of
packs of firecrackers. At 1885 O'Clock
all the steamboats, and accompanying
fleet blew q united blast on their
whistles. At ] D. m. the ST. Louis
started uD the bay for the city The
flagship New York saluted as the
steamship passed her. The guns of the
other warshipS remained silent.

OUTLOOK IN MONTANA.
Ex-senator Sanders Says 1t is En-
couraging for Republicans.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Ex-Senator w.
+. Sanders of Montana, who is in charge
of the distribution of Republican liter
ature in that State for the National
Committee, in a letter received to-day
by Chief Perry Heath, states that the
Republicans will hold a State conven-
ton September 9th and organize State
Committee beyond doubt for sound
money, pro ection, Mckinley and Ho-
bart"
The ex-senator adds: Upon the
whole, the outlook in Montana is en-
couraging. The struggle for the next
two weeks will be for control of the
State convention. There is a law gov
erning primaries, which if enforced will
enable the true Republicans to control
the convention. Confidential friends of
Senator Carter assert that he will make
a speech September 9th declaring his
support for Mckinley. The boycott of
Mckinley Republicans into which Dem
ocratS and Populists entered a month
ago has utterly broken down, and has
proved boomerang"

to speak in Detroit September Sd, and

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Li Hung
Chang, Viceroy of China, ambassador
Extraordinary to Russia and world-re-
nowned diplomat, arrived in New York
to-day and became the guest of the
Nation. The steamship st. Louis passed
Fire Island at 1888 a. m with the dis
tinguished visitor on board. The
steamship made the trip from South
ampton in six days and three hours.
She was saluted by the footing of whis-
ties, tugs and steamers as she passed
up the lower bay and entered the mar
rows.
The day was a perfect one. Bright
sunlight overhead, an atmosphere clear
as crystal, with tinge of autumn cool
ness in it and a light breeze that ruffied
the surface of the bay, combined to
make the first view that Ii Hung
Chang had of the harbor of the metrop-
ural beauties was the imposing specta-
Gle furnished by the presence of the
finest fleet of warships Uncle Sam has
ever gathered. They were the best of

THOUSANDS MASSACRED
DURING THE RIOTING AT CON.
STANTINOPLE.
No Effort to Check the Mob in Their
Muir rderous Work rlade by
the Police.

PHILIPPOPOL1S, Aug. 2S.-Travel
ers who arrived from Constantinople
say that a state of anarchy continues
in the Turkish capital. The number Of
persons massacred reaches into the
thousands.
NO EFFORT TO CHECK THE MOB.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. ZS.-The
principal slaughter in the recent rioting
here was done by a Moslem mob in re-
venge for Armenian outrages. No effort
to check the mob in their murderous
work was made by the police: Numer-
GUS arrests of Armenians We're made
to-day, and this led to further rioting,
which, however, was of a less serious
character. The hospitsls are crowded.
All of the ghardships have landed par
ties of marines to assist in preserving
order.
The Ministry Of Police has appointed
a commission of eight Christians and
Mussulmans to inquire into the revolu-
tionary rioting Wednesday.

Minister at Constantinople reports that

A u. s. WARSHIP TO BE SENT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.--The Presi-
dent has decided to send warship to
constantinople, and the little cadet
practice ship Bancroft has been Sc
/ lected as the first American national
vessel since the ratification of the
treaty of Paris to pass the Rosphorus
and anchor in the Golden Horn oppo-
site the gardens of the Seraglio. The
! Administration having reached the de-
cision that the presence Of a United
States war vessel was imperatively de-
inanded at Constantinople to perform
duty similar to that of the guardships
| maintained there by England and
/ France and other European powers
and the Turkish laws resting on the
/ treaty of Paris foroidding a vessel of
over six guns to enter the Bosphorus
! the Bancroft alone was found available
for the service required.
The cruiser Bancrofts main battery
consists of four four inch rapid fire
rifles and a number of small secondary
weapons and two torpedo tubes. She
carries ten officers and 100 men. In
all respects she is a warship of the
| highest class in miniature, equal in ap-
pearance to the finest vessels in foreign
navies. For her size she is probably
the most formidable OF United States
/ vessels
