have been years of exile, and. accord
ing to letter that Sam has received
from the secretary of the Chinese lega-
ton at Washington, his prescription is
ut an end, and on his return to China all
his titles, honors and possessions will
be restored.

of the Tai-Ping rebellion. which broke
out in northern China in 1880 and con-
tinued IA years. Hung STA Tsuen. Yen's

That the time has arrived for the south
to demand of congress better banking
facilities under just and equitable fed

retire from the banking business and the
whole system Of national finances be re-
adjusted on such a sound and scientific
basis as will give each section of our
common country circulating medium
adequate to its business and based upon
its commercial assets. That bondholdcrs
and general creditors should be protected

part of the world. That there should be
no discrimination between state and ma

Vessels are reported on shore OH every

known to have foundered with the prob

wreckage about the Goodwin sands.

Six vessels were wrecked between Var
mouth and Bacton, only a few miles
apart on the Norfolk coast, and twenty
five lives were lost. The brig Verara
stranded at Bacton. The storm tore out
her masts and when the rocket lines were
fired the crew were unable to haul it in.
Finally the line dragged them into the
surf and three out of seven were
drowned.
Rochester and Strood, about thirty
miles southeast of London, have suffered
severely. At Rochester the gas works
are flooded and the town is in darkness.
The gale is now traeling southward and
traversing various parts of the continent.
Very rough weather is reported along the
north coast of France.
A dispatch from Liverpool says that
during the gale the Russian bark Nikolai

Formby. After q fearful experience her
sails were blow away and the vessel
was damaged so as to be uncomfortable.
One of the crew was swept overheard
and drowned. The captain says no one

the exception noted, the ships crew is
safe, but the vessel will probably be-

DIsARMED AND KILLED.
A Dead Negro, Who Found the Man

Sealy, Tex. Nov. S.-(Special) l)-Iio-
land Davis, a negro, was shot and killed
in the negro part Of town this evening by
lot johnson. Davis had been hunting
johnson to collect debt Of so cents. He
went to the house where johnson was,
and, opening the door, said:
Now ] have found you and want the
30 cents you owe me-"
Johnson replied: "You always strike
me when ] haven't any money"
Davis thereupon comemnced shooting,
hitting johnson twice, when johnson
grabbed the pistol from him. Davis then
got hold of an ak, whereupon Johnson
killed him ;yith his Davis0 own pistol.
johnson surrendered TO Deputy Sheriff
II. p. SwearDgen, but was not jailed,
only put under guard, the case being one
of clear self-defense. Johnson's wounds
are not considered dangerous, although
one ball perforated his left breast, com
ing out at the back. The other passed
through his wrist. Johnson IN consider

ing camps may he utilized. Secretary
Alger has confidence in IL as a means
OF transportation.
The members of the cabinet were all
intensely interested in the matter of
securing relief Whether the men who
are supposed to be suffering went there
arainst the repeated warnings of all
officials is beyond the question; the sim
pie fact that they are there and need
relief make II imperative upon the gov
ernment to extend aid If possible.
No estimate has been made as to the
cost, and none can be prepared now.
Congress will be asked to appropriate
sufficient sum, aud the war depart
ment will eXpend II in the most eco
nomical manner, as in the case of the
Mississippi flood sufferers, when 500
600 was appropriated and only $4,000
expended.
The task of getting supplies into

tmated and doubts are entertained as to
It's being possibility. Dyea can be

ter Is often down to 80 and 40 degrees

peditlon can not reach the Klond.ke be-
fore February at the earliest. and the
hope is expressed that there is y sufii-
Client supply Of food to last aneil that
time II Is estimated that there are
10000 people In the gold country. A
dispatch received recently stated that
10000 head of hogs md cattle went 10
the Klondike short time ago, hut
Commissioner Smith, at Dyea, says that
such Is not the fact. He says that 1000
sheep have been sent to the mines.
Secretary Alger believes that Capt.
Ray has gone to Dawson, and that he
will make his wny back and report on
conditions there. Nothing has been
heard from him since he left for the
Yukon, but he expects advices from
him almost any day.
1t is probable that the president will
send special message to congress ask
ing an appropriation for the relief of
the people in the Klondike. and it Is
believed prompt action will be taken
and the money will be Immediately
available

Dixie Relief Discussed.

Washington. Nov. 30.AMembers of con-
gress are unusually slow In putting in
their appearance for the regular session,
which convenes next Monday. Up to
this time there have been scarcely more
than dozen arrivals each day. From
now on. however. it is expected that the
rush will begin and that u very full at-
tendance will be in their places on the
opening day. Few of the leaders of
either house are here yet. This ia es-
pecially true of the house of representa-
ives. Neither Speaker Reed nor Mr..
Dingley, the floor leader of the majority,
VIII reach Washington until Sunday.
With the exception of pronounced end
radical pro and anti-Cuban congressman,
the members of both houses us a rule
| seem to be holding their judgments in
| aneyance until they can ascertain from
ofhcial sources exactly what the situation
Is as to Cuba.
In the matter Of the currency, II seems
established that the democrats and their
| free silver allies will oppose stubbornly
anything the majority is likely to propose
and the fact that the opposition in the
senate seems insurmOuntable, inclined
many OF the republican members of the
house to the opinion that II would be
wisdom not to attempt any legislation
whatever Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa is one
Of these. Hc thinks the futility of pass
ing a measure in the senate makes 1t
expedient for the house to attempt to
put through II measure, and, besides, lie
doubts the propriety Of the republicans
OF the house attempting to make re-
publican policy on a subject upon which
the republican platform does not spcnk
TO the point. He says if the president
should, as reported recommend any
| scheme for the retirement of the green
backs, II would be beyond the republi-
can platform and every republican would
| be free to support or oppose it. as his
| judgment Indicated. There is some talk
| of a republican caucus on this question,
many of the members believing that II
q currency measure Is to be passed diff
ferences could be most easily adjusted
and concerted action secured in this way.
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts, chair
man of the committee on banking and
| currency. some time ago sent letter to
every member of his committee irging
| the Importance of currency legislation and
asking each member to be prepared az
soon after the opening OF the session as
possible TO work to the end that some
measure may be submitted to the house
| for action.
! Mr. Hepburn, who Is chairman Of the
committee on interstate and foreign com
mercc, says he has received many letters
during the recess particularly from mer-
camille bodies, urging action on the nnti-
scalping and pooling bills and he expects
both these questions to receive early at
| tcntion.
