III HUNG CHANG AGAIN IN POWER.
The Emperor Appoints Him Minister
of Foreign Affairs.

London, Oct. 26.-Telegrams received
from Pekin announce the appointment
of Ii Hung Chang as Chinese minister
of foreign affairs. The announcement
is somewhat surprising and has caused
a great deal of comment here. The ST.
James Gazette says that Ii Hung Chang
upon leaving Southampton at the termi-
nation of his recent visit to England,
told the reporters, who were among those
assembled to see him off, that his ability
to carry out the reforms which he de-
sired to have established in China de-
pended on his return to power after he
got home. The success of his mission to
Europe is consequently gagged by his
appointment to the foreign ministry.

DISCOVERED IN TIME.
Brother and Sister Engaged to he
Married.
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
New York, Oct 2S.-There was to be mar
ried in this city to-day Miss Maude Harvey
and Mr.. Joseph Allen, an actor and an ac-
tress now playing at Frank b. Carr's
Third avenue theater. For the past six
months the couple had been In Sam L.
Jacks Bullfghter Company, and had been
engaged to each other after being ac-
quainted for only two weeks. On Sunday
last they met at the house of Miss Har-
vey, 217 East Thirty-second street, and
there began to discuss each others past
lives. TO the horror and astonishment
of both, they found that they were brother
and sister.
There was, before the war, prosperous
merchant living in Buffalo named James
Benedict. When the war broke out he en-
listed in a Buffalo regiment, and at the
battle Of Gettysburg was killed. After
the war Mrs. Benedict, with her three
chlldren-Nelne, Ada and Joseph--were to
tourney to San Francisco to live with an
uncle Of the children, then a wealthy gold
mine owner Of that state. But on the
way fever broke out among the travellers,
and Mrs. Benedict succumbed to the dis
ease. The children, Of whom the Oldest
was six years old. were taken care OF by
some of the other travellers, to be handed
over to their uncle when San Francisco
was reached. But the uncle could not be
found in California, and they were subse-
quently adopted by the travellers who had
agreed 10 take care of them.
A Mr.. Wilfred Halton adopted the boy,
and at the request of his protector, the
boy adopted his name. The girls were
taken care Of by family named Harvey
and Merose, respectively. The two girls
kept up constant correspondence, but
after about five years lost sight OF their
brother. BY some strange coincidence all
three Of them adopted the stage as their
profession. The boy had changed his
name, for professional purposes, to Joe
Allen, while the girls retained the names
OF their protectors.
The story OF the love between Maude
and Joe has already been told. but the
surprise whchAhe company received when
It heard OF their relations has almost up
set the whole organization. OF course,
all wedding invitations have already been
recalled. and word was sent to the Rev.
Dr. Houghton that his presence would not
be required to-day.
