TAKES IN WASHINGTON.
Ii Hung Chang Sees Many Wonderful
Things and Asks Questions

LII flung Chang sees Many Wonderful
Things and Asks Questions.
Washington, Sept. 5.-Li Hung Chang,
after breakfast at $3.50 q. NJ, was driven
about the city and shown the public
buildings and principal points Of in.
terest. At noon he partook of luncheon
at the Chinese legation and afterward
inspected the buildings, method of
transacting business and held long
conversation with Minister Yang Yee.
In the afternoon Maj. Gen. Miles,
Gen. Beck, Gen. Ruggles, Gen. Greeley
and others called to pay their respects.
The viceroy asked Gen. Miles how old
he was, and when the general told him
he had served with Grant the viceroy
became deeply interested and asked MI.
merous questions about Grants army
life. After this interview ex-Secretary
Foster took the viceroy, Lord LII and
DR.. Mark to call on Secretary Carlisle
at the latter's residence. The visit
turned out to be the most important Of
the day and resulted in the complete
demolition of the afternoon pro-
gramne. When the discussion had con.
tinued until 4:3O o'clock the viceroy
drove to Secretary Lamont's, where he
left his card, repeating this courtesy
at the residences of Gen. Miles and
Secretary Francis. At seven o'clock he
sat down to an elaborate dinner ten
dered by Secretary Foster. During the
repast the United States Marine band,
under special orders from the.nayy de-
partment. gave serenade. At the con
clusion of the dinner Gen. Foster made
q few remarks to which Ii Hung Chang
responded through his interpreter in
written speech. #
His address expressed the favorable
impression received by him during his
visit to the United States of the liberty
and freedom enjoyed by the people, the
welfare and prosperity in their indus
trial and commercial pursuits, the char
acteristics of their classical, historical,
philosophical and poetical literature,
the manner of application of the
scientific discoveries for promoting the
happiness of mankind and the display
of their artistic taste in the architecture
Of the public buildings, sculpture and
paintings of historical figures and
facts. These impressions, he said, he
would carry home, not only as aug.
mentations to his store of knowledge
of the points of western modern civil
cation, but as the means of enlighten-
ing the millions he represents and in,
culcating the introduction of those very
means and ends of civilization into
China and amalgamating the oldest civ
ilization of the far east with the most
modern of the extreme west

LOYAL TO sEwALL.
Chairman Jones Says He viii Not Be
Withdrawn.

Withdrawn.
Chicago, Sept. 4.-Severa1 days ago
Chairman Jones, of the democratic ma
tional committee, wrote Mr.. Arthur
Sewall, stating that many democrats
throughout the country, and especially
throughout the west, were objecting to
fusion with the populists on electoral
tickets, for the reason that they do not
wish TO be disloyal to Mr.. Sewall. In
reply to Senator Jones, Mr.. Sewall for
warded copy of letter written to
Mr.. Bryan July IS, while the St. Louis
convention was in session, stating that
having been nominated for president
by the populists, with Mr.. Watson for
president, Mr.. Bryan should not allow
any personal consideration for the
writer to influence him in deciding
whether or not he would accept. He
wrote further to Mr.. Bryan expressing
desire that he should do just what he
believed to be best for the success of the
head of the ticket. He would not allow
hims elf to be factor in any action
of Mr.. Bryan's that would in the
slightest degree hazard All electral vote
for him.
Chairman Jones, referring to the let
ter. said:
'The talk about the retirement OF our
candidate for vice president is too absurd
to be seriously considered. Mr.. Sewalls
letter, written just after the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan by the st. Louis convention,
is a spendid illustration of his loyalty to his
associate on the democratic national ticket.
He sees no embarrassment whatever in Mr..
Bryans nomination for president by an
other party and upon another ticket but
believes it to be an important step toward
complete answer to efforts Of the gold
democrats to create the impression that Mr.
SeWall will retire under any circumstances,
to say that the democratic party and it's
national organization are just as loyal to
Mr.. Sewall as he himself is to Mr.. Bryan
and the great cause ofthe common people,"

Blooms Will Close.

The boom companies have been or
dered to close their booms on Sept. IL.
This action was decided upon in a joint
meeting of all the log owners in Min
neapolis, held in the Offices of the Mis-
sissippi g. Rum River Boom company.
Immediate steps are to be taken to
place all the logs now in the booms in
condition of safety, also so that they
may be gotten at with the greatest con-
venience next spring. The sentiment
of the log owners was unanimously in
favor of closing the mills at the earli-
est possible date, and the only reason
that the date was not set for one week
earlier was that certain of the mill
owners, Backus, Nelson-Tenney, Day,
and one or two others desired little
longer time to cut in order that they
might be in condition to meet all the
orders attendant upon their spring
trade.
The decision to close the booms Sept.
10 means that the mills of Minneapolis
will cease cutting lumber one week
later, thus throwing out of employ
ment hundreds of men.

Dead In q Bath Room.


James Cullen, the proprietor of
bottling house at 251 Hennepin avenue,
Minneapolis, was found dead in tho
Turkish bath parlors of the Guaranty
Loan building early Saturday morning.
Cullen engaged in a fstic alteration
with James Gallagher Friday night be-
fore closing up. AS a result of the fight
Gallagher was thrown out of the place
by Cullen, who was a large, heavy
man. Gallagher left with broken
arm, threatening arrest for assault and
battery.
The bar tender states that Cullen was
drinking heavily Friday night and after
the fight left the saloon, saying that he
was going to take bath at the Guar
anty Loan parlors. An attendant at
the parlors found Cullen's dead body on
one of the lounges at $3.50 o'clock. in the
morning.
The body of Cullen was removed to
the county morgue and a cursory ex-
animation of it gave rise to the suppo-
sition that something besides heart dis
ease was responsible for the mans
death. In several places on the body
the skin had peeled off, giving the i'm
preston that the man had been SUBJ
iected to intense heat.

Lost $4,000.

A dispatch from Chicago states that
James L. Sprague, a patent claim
agent of Minneapolis, arrived there
over the Lake Shore road from Buffalo,
n. Y. He got into a political argu-
ment near the Van Buren, street station,
and offered to bet that statement he
made could be substantiated. and at
the same time pulled out a roll of bills
amounting to $4,000. The bet was not
taken, and he. with eight persons, en-
tered a Parmalee bus to be driven to
downtown hotel. just after entering
the bus he discovered that his roll was
gone. He ordered the driver to stop
and asked the passengers to allow him
to search them. They refused, where
upon he called Patrolman Beechter,
who had the whole crowd taken to the
Harrison street station. The money
was not recovered, and it is thought
that a clever pickpocket, seeing
Sprague fash the roll took it while the
Minneapolis man got into the bus. ...u

Stung by Bees.
The 2-year old daughter of John Han
son, of Winona, was nearly stung to
death by bees. The little child had
wandered into the yard of a neighbour,
where bees are kept, and began to
amuse herself by poking at the hives
with a stick. This greatly angered
the bees, and they came out in swarms
and covered the whole body of the little
intruder. The child was literally ono
mass of stings, and the two attending
physicians pulled hundreds of stings
out of her body. It was at first thought
that the wounds would result fatally,
but the little suffer is somewhat i'm
proved, and her recovery is now hoped
for. In attempting to rescue her two
women from the house where the bees
were kept were also badly stung in
trying to save the child.

There was fatal accident on the
state fair track where horses were
being speeded. It was horse, and not
human being, however, that was the
victim. Sapphire, 4-year old runner,
belonging to Michael Lynch of st. Paul,
was being logged on the track by
boy. Some horses loose in the in6eld
came running up. Sapphire reared
suddenly and launched heavily against
the post, striking his head in such po-

fell to the ground dead. The colt was
worth about $500, and his loss is keenly
mourned by his owner, who had great

number, as it contains an unusual num-
ber of articles of life and adventure in
the open air. First among these is the
leading article of the number on the
Colorado Health Plateau, by Lewis

social study by man who has travel
led in many regions of the world, and
who knows the region around Colorado
Springs thoroughly, having spent a
number Of winters there. lie describes
pictnresquely and with great deal of
invalua BILE information the life that is
led there by those whose health makes
it necessary for them to reside in that
climate. Most of them are compelled
to leisure, and therefore driven to every
device for amusement which makes
the life particularly bright and attrac
tive, SO that there is not q touch of in
yalidism in Mr. Iddings's account of it.
1t is ID pleasing and interesting social
picture that he draws, and what he
has to say of the delights, conveniences
and necessities of Lille in the Aiti-
tuaes' is most entertaining.
