Minister DENLY and His Wife Narrowly
Escape Drowning.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Orient
al mail brings news that Col. Charles
DENLY, the United States minister to
China, and his wife had a narrow es-
cape from death last month while jour
neyinS from Tien-Tsin to Pekin in a
house boat. According to a letter re-
ceiVed in Yokohama on Aug. rs, Col
onel DENLY and wife were towed up
the river by a steam launch, when a
collision occurred and the house boat
was eapsized. Colonel DENLY was on
the deck at the time, and with consid-
cradle difficulty he succeeded in get
ting to the bank of the river. But Mrs.
DENLY was less fortunate. She was in
the cabin when the boat capsized, and,
being unable to get out before the boat
turned bottom side up, was imprisoned
in the cabin. She was rescued when
almost unconscious by cutting a hole
through the bottom Of the boat. Had
she remained a prisoner much longer
she would have died. as she was near
ly suffocated.

SCHOOL TROUBLE At ST. PAUL.
VIII Not Open Until the Finances Are
shown Up.

ST Paul, Sept 14.-There is a big SEN
sation in st. Paul school circles. The
public schools are scheduled to open on
Monday, but the school board an
nounced Friday night that the schools
would not open on that date or any
other date until Mayor Doran sends
to the council a budget showing how
much money there is i'm the school
fund, and how much there is likely TO
be there in the season. The school
board claims that under the laws of
the state. if il opened the schools
without knowing what il was TO sup
port them with, it would be liable to be
sent to states prison for from six
months TO year. The trouble seems
TO have risen from the obstinacy of
Comptroller McCarty, who has not fur
nished the mayor with the usual state
ment regarding the school fund. The
1000 school children Of st. Paul must
therefore wait until the mayor sends a
message to the council, which is COM
posed of two bodies. and is acted upon.

LETTER BY GLADSTONE.
Says the Concert of Europe L. a Miserable.
Disgraceful Mockery.

London, Sept. 1.-THE 1T. Hon. w.

letter denouncing the sultan of Turkey.
In this communication Mr.. Gladstone
says:
In my opinion the assassin and not
his Mohammedan subjects lis the au-
thor of the massacres. From first to
last their atrocity has no parallel in re-
cent history. The concert of Europe
is a miserable, disgraceful mockery,
and some sovereigns and governments
have given direct countenance and
support to the assassin. Indeed, the
presence Of the embassies at Constan-
tinople is in itself substantial coun-
tenance Of support TO him, and his
guilty proceedings. The coercion
which should long ago have been ap-
piled TO him might even now be the
means of averting another series of
massacres"

Havana. Sept. A.-It is the rebels
now who are making war upon the
pacificos. Under a late decree of Gen
eral Maxine Gomez, the insurgent
leader, those who have attempted TO
preserve a neutral attitude must show
their colors and come out openly for
one side or the other. Able-bodied men
who are combatants must take mach
etc in hand and strike for Cuba and
independence, or abandon their fields,
take refuge within the cities and towns
held by government forces, and Shout
der rife in defense of Spain and the
crown. Neutrality in the future will
not be respected in time of war Gomez
says there should be no pacificos save
helpless women and innocent children.
BY strange coincidence he and Cap
tain General Weyler have upon this
subject Identical ideas, and, stranger
still, each is opposed to allowing plant
eEs to gather their sugar, coffee, and
cocoa crops until after the war is
fought TO finish.
Orders Carried into Effect.
All over the island dispatches bring
reports of instances where GomeZ's or
ders are being carried rigidly into eff
feet. Beyond the Vibora, on the Bar
reto sugar estate, but a few leagues
from Havana, Ramon Velez, a poor
peasant, was dragged from his humble
hut, shot, and afterward horribly
macheted by an insurgent band before
the eyes OF his wife and children,
whose appeals for mercy availed him
naught His crime was failure to obey
a previous intimation from the insur-
gents that he should join them or move
into town. On the Fortuna estate,
near Artemisa, an old widow with a
house full OF small children, was driv-
en- out of house and home, the torch
being applied TO the building. while
their humble paintings adjacent were
destroyed. In Matanzas province.

10 MUCH WORK
For q Healthy Existence.-That's
Why the Kidneys 80 often Fail.

Nature has provided certain amount
OF work for every organ OF the human
body; overtax them and disease eventu-
ally follows There Is not one por-
ton of our organism that Is SO overworked
as the kidneys; on them is placed the i'm
portant function of filtering the blood Of
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action of life and digestion. The
kidneys are consequently termed the sew
erage of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid, which brings on disease
in many forms. The back is the first TO
show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; 1t should be needed,
and the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doans Kidney Pills will right the action
of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of
pains and aches, and cure all troubles of

Little at Dayton, q.
Dayton, o., Sept 1.-THE case OF
Albert Frantz, charged with the be-
trayal and murder of Bessie Little is
developing into one of the most mys-
terious crimes on record. Chief of Po-
lice Terrell has ascertained where and
when Frantz bought the revolver that
was used and now he is hunting the
weapon that Frantz threw into Still
water river with Bessie Titles body so
as to identify il as the one Frantz
bought. Diver Graham OF Cincinnati
has been at work here searching the
bottom of the river where Frantz, on
his own confession, threw the body
from the bridge.
Hundreds of people lined the banks
OF the river and the excitement in
creases' daily. Meantime Frantz sticks
to his original story that Bessie Lit
tie shot herself while they were out rid
ing and in his fright he threw her
body in the river. He confesses that
he threw the revolver in the river and
says it did not belong to him. If the
weapon is found and identified by Fer
rell's man then FrantZ will have a
complete chain of evidence against
him. Frantz was arraigned Friday,
plead not guilty and his case was con-
tinued without bail.
