Il HUNG BLAMEs ENGLAND.
Says She Could Have Prevented the War
with Japan.

Says She Could Have Prevented the War
with Japan.
LONDON, Ang. 4.-The Times Monday
morning had an article regarding Ii Hung
Changes views and the object of his mis-
sion to England. The Chinese statesman
considers that England could, if she had
chosen, have prevented Chinas disastrous
war with Japan. He therefore reproaches
England with waning friendship, and con-
tends that China was taken by surprise
when entirely unprepared for war. He
now desires as an evidence Of sympathy
that England should concede to China the
right to make substantial addition to
the duties charged under the treaty be.
tween them upon goods entering Chinese
ports.
The fall of silver, Ii Hung Chang con-
tends, has reduced the revenue derived
from these duties to half of it's original
value. Japan has already secured SINH
lar relaxation of old restrictions.
Ii Hung Chang hints that this increase
in China's revenue will be devoted to the
purchase of warlike stores in Europe.
''He assures us" says The Times, that
he has great reforms ready to be put into
operation, including provision for a fleet
and an army, which, within five years,
will place China in position that would
render impossible any such defeat as she
recently endured"

strike Outrage nt Detroit.

DETROIT, Aug. 3.-It is probable that
one death will result from the strike of
polishers and mounters at the Detroit
stove works James Taylor, non-union
stove worker, was assaulted by strikers
while going home on a street car last
Wednesday night. In the melee Taylor
inflicted n knife wound on Frank Cross
ley. Taylor was arrested and bailed.
Saturday evening after drawing his pay
Taylor was en- route home with his wife
on street car, when he was attacked by
five of the strikers, who used slungshots
and knives as weapons. Taylor made q
determined fight against his assailants,
but as the result of the unequal struggle
the back of his neck was ripped open, his
skull was fractured by being knocked and
dragged over the car seats and he was
terribly battered up otherwise. His con-
dition is very serious.

NOBODY SEEMS MUCH HURT

BY the Collapse of the "Gigantic" Deal I'm
Diamond Matches. Etc.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Barring the fact that
the stock exchange was closed-which, by
the way, is not an unprecedented thing
and that there were several or more big
spectators who wouldn't have as much
money when things were settled as they
had before, the collapse of the gigantic"
Diamond Match and Biscuit deal does not
seem to have been gigantic" at all in the
matter of disturbing trade. There are good
many losses, it is true, and some are large,
but those who lost can pay and the failure
will cause hardly ripple in business af-
fairs
The Diamond Match company and the
Biscuit company are not in the least hurt
the doings do not affect them at all, al
though one of the Moores is president of
the latter company and the two Moores,
of Chicago, are the ones who were under
most when the crash came. Both the
companies are sound and dividend-pa
30 1T is authoritatively reported. New
York financiers approve the closing of the
stock exchange temporarily. The same
ching was done there in 1869 and 1878. The
idea of closing is to make as many settle
ments as possible before the "bears'' are
let loose.

cially dead, and will soon be on top
again" said j. H Moore in his office yes
terday. "This affair was hard shock,
but it is only temporary We think we
are perfectly safe in saying that we will
tide over every trouble 1t is but tempo
rary, and we are long way from being
financially dead.O

Populists Have Hopes, Though, If They
Can Get a Fair Count.
MONTGOMERY, Aug. 4.-The size of the
Democratic majority seems to be all that
remains in doubt with regard to the result
of yesterdays election Because of the
slow process of counting the votes under
the new ballot law returns are necessarily
slow in coming in, but there is no doubt
of a complete Democratic victory. In
complete returns from about half the
counties so far received indicate Demo-
cratic gains in all but Mobile and Macon.
"Johnson's majority is probably larger
than that of Governor Oates two years
ago, which was $4,000 l think we have
the legislature by an increased majority."
The foregoing is from n signed statement
by Chairman Vaughn, of the Democratic
state committee.
AT Populist state headquarters the chair
man was not on hand, being absent from
the city. The secretary Frank Valtzelle
said: I'VE have received no returns what
ever from the state We feel that if we
have had fair count GOODWIN has won.
The size of his majority would be govern
ed by the number of votes the Democrats
steal in the black belt. l am not prepared
to give out my figures, but believe we
will carry eight counties which Oates got
two years ago, and lose two which Kolb
carried. We expect the horseback mails
to show Goodwyn's election.
p. G. Bowman, another Populist, said
he believed GOODWIN would have from
$1,000 to 10000 majority, but had seen no
returns upon which to base his claim
which was founded altogether on opinion.
