MARSHALL FIELD HONE.
Well Known Chicago Merchant Re
turns From Europe.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Marshan Field re-
turned to Chicago yesterday after an alb
sence of three months in Europe feeling
better in health and spirits and accord
! ingly glad to get home. During his tour
abroad Mr.. Field Travelled through Eng
land, France and Germany remaining the
greater part of the time in the first nam
ed country. During his sojourn abroad
George NJ. Pullman, president of the Pull
man Palace Car company, in which Mr.
Field is extensively interested, died, and
his stay in Great Britain may be said
10 have been shortened by the event.
So significant is the arrival of Mr. Field
in the affairs of the sleeping car concern
that a meeting of the directors has been
called for Thursday. At that time it is
expected an executive head for the cor
poration will be decided on and the affairs
of the company reviewed since the time
of Mr.. Pullman's demise.
With the possible exception of A. A.
Sprague of Chicago, who is at present in
California, all the directors of the big cor
poration will be present at the meeting.
Both Mr. Hulburt and Mr.. Reid assured
Mr.. Field of their presence. A successor
to George NJ. Pullman will then be named
with less formality than the appointment
of a chairman in a college DEBATING So
ciety.
Mr. Field refused to discuss the proba-
bilities of the different men who have
been talked of as candidates for the po-
sition. He said he had heard that
president had been already appointed, but
declared there was absolutely no founda-
tion to the story, which printed in
New York newspaper. He insisted that
during his different meetings with the
eastern directors of the company after
his completing his voyage the subject was
not even broached.
Mr.. PuIlman's successor will be decid-
ed on Thursday" he said. This spec
uIation is entirely unfounded. How could
the chief executive be named when the
directors have not convened?''
Mr.. Field had an opportunity to OBJ
serve the impoverished condition of Eu-
ropes wheat crop.
Grain from the United States is in great
demand he said. 'Of course. everybody !
knows by this time that the crops across
the water failed. There would be a scare |
fty of bread were it not for the abund- |
ance which this land offers. 1t is evil |
dent that the need is extensive from the |
persistent high mark of the price on the |
cereal"

Having, through his legislature, Gre

had the right to bestOw it upon whom

Platt has given Croker this victory.
PIatt has betrayed his own party in so
doing, and what is immeaSurabl more
to be deplOred, he has succeeded in pre-

The responsibility for this disaster is
upon the head, first of Boss Platt, and
secondly of those respectable Repub-
Hcans who followed his lead when they
knew just what it meant of shame and
loss and diScOuragement and demOraH-
ZatiOn to the people of their great city,
rich and poor alike.-BaltimOre News.
The return of Tammany to power
seems to be the greatest calamity that
has befallen the people of New York
since the days of Tweed. But it has
come to them, and is without remedy
or reclamation for four years. The loss
of the state can only be assigned to in
competent management, and the party
should satisfy itself who is to blame

There are some compensatiOns in the
New York result. 1t is probable that
Platt's grip on the state legislature has
been shaken He has also suffered a
knOckdOWn blow in the greater city, if
it did cost a Tammany victory to deliv-
er it. AS against Croker, the easy
boss is regarded by most people as the
far more dangerous, and his broken ap-
pearance in the outcome is cause for
public rejOicing.-SpringfieI Republi-

TACOMA, WASH, Sept. 22.-China ad-
vises per steamer to-day report that
this years treshet was lower by more than
foot than those of preceding years, but
in spite of this decrease and also the fact
that the Grand canal has not contributed
anything due its usual quantity OF water,
the Peiho River has burst both its eastern
and western banks, and one vast sheet OF
water now stretches from Yang Chung to
Pei Kuan, a distance OF twenty odd Ii.
One hundred thousand people have bee n
rendered destitute, and the damage TO
property is estimated at about LOCO, 600

The railway is in danger from the food,
and should wind of any strength arise,
the damage to the road from the wash of

ing them more suspicious of all strangers
than before. Last week three travellers
passing through village were set upon
and beaten to death and buried by the ex-
cited mob. Another man, living Just out
side the city, was accused OF KIDNAPPING
and so frightened by the threats that he
lost his reason and is now running about
the place half naked and quito craZed.
Several C ristians have been beaten and
attacks have been made upon some of the
country chapels.
The officials in that district are doing
everything to quiet the people. and so far
there has been no attack on residents at

a total loss. In addition 10 the oil there
was also lot of whale bone aboard. After

WAGING HAR ON VICE.

Secret Soct-ty Hhtch Is Making Itself
Eet IN Santa Rosa.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. 22.-It has
been suspected for some time that q secret
society existed in Santa Rosa for t he sup
preston of vice. This suspicion was con-
tirmed to-day by the receipt of letter by
the City Marshal, signed by the secretary
OF the com mittee of good citizenship, ask
ing him to notify certain couple in
Santa Rosa of their disgracefuI conduct
being known to others and that unless it
was stopped the committee would tar and
feather them and deport them out of the
town. The couple were brought before
the courts recently, but the charge of mis-
conduct was not sustained.
The public have been at loss for some
time past to account for the fund of in
formation lodged with the police against
certain we'll known persons in the COM
munity This is now explained by the
existence of this commlttee, which has
been quietly working for some time to
make Santa Rosa a model town. The last
letter of the com mittee was m ade public
to-day and has caused no little sensation
in town.
