Detectives Make an Arrest and
Search a Man.

Detectives Helan and McNamee made
what is believed to be a quite important
capture this afternoon. While the officers
were passing the store No. SIS G street
northwest their attention was attracted by
the peculiar actions of man who was en-
gagged in selling some old silver and mu-
tilated coins to the wife Of the proprietor.
The detectives entered into conversation
with the man, who gave his name as James
E. Vanamberg, and address New Haven,
Conn, and soon became convinced that he
ought to be taken into custody. This was
done and Vanamberg was taken to de-
teciye Headquarters and questioned, with
the result that 1t was decided to hold the
accused until further investigation could
be made.
The detectives then went to Vanambere's
room In house at the corner of Sth and d
streets northwest, and searched It, finding
a number OF satchels and packages
containing revolvers, coins and other ar
tlcies OF more or less value, all of which
were taken to headquarters. Efforts will
be made to ascertain who are the legal
owners of the property captured Vanam-
perg was locked up at the sixth precinct
station for the night and tomorrow he Will
be arraigned In the Police Court as a sus-

MING PO NATIVES KILLED
French Police and Marines Fired on a Mob
of Them.
Everything Quiet In the English and
American Settlements Chinese
Can't Maintain Order.

LONDON, July 1s-The Shanghai cor
respondent OF the Times, telegraphing Sun
day says:
In the riots at Ming Pc today a large
mob attacked the police station. The
French police and the marines from the
French cruiser Eclaireur fired on the mob
on two occasions.
Thirteen natives were killed and over
thirty wounded. The Chinese local authori-
tives expressed their inability to maintain
order or to compel the guild to comply with
French demands.
Similar riots arose from a similar cause
in 1874 In the present case the action of
the French authorities is generally con-
sidered unnecessarily severe, the matter
resolving itself into one of arbitration and
adequate compensation for the value of
the site claimed. All is now quiet, but fur
Their disturbances are not improbable"
The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Mall says;
Twenty natives were killed in the riots
at Ming Pc today Sunday. The peaceful
natives have quilted the French settle
ments, fearing incendiarism. Two hundred
Italian sailors have landed. Thus far

POTOMAC RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Col. Aliens Report as to the COndf-
ton of the Work.

In recent report to Gen. Wilson, chief
of engineers, Col. Charles J. Allen, the
engineer officer in charge of the Potomac
river improvements, says that since the
establishment of Camp AIger the travel on
the Aqueduct bridge has largely increased,
and that the wisdom of the temporary sus-
pension of work on the defective pier Of
that structure is apparent to even the most
casual observer He also reports that the
work OF dredging the channels of the Po-
tomac opposite Washington has been sus-
pended owing to the damaged condition Of
the dredge plant used by the contractor,
Mr.. A. NJ. Clegg Of this city. Three libels
have been placed on the dredge, and 1t is
in charge Of a deputy marshal. Col. Allen
says it does not seem possible that any
,appreciable amount of work will be done
by Mr.. Clegg. to judge from the present
condition Of his. dredging plant
The joint resolution Of Congr ess, approved
April IL, 1893, providing for the improve.
ment of the Anacostia river, calls for a
project and estimate for the improvement
of the river and the reclamation of its
flats between the District line and the
mouth OF the river: also for certain in
formation in regard to the ownership OF
the flats and the cost Of acquiring any land
owned by private parties. The resolution
made an appropriation of 5000 for the
surveys. etc.
Col. Allen, to whom the work has been
assigned, says that, owing to the great
amount, of information called for and the
limited appropriation available, 1t will not
be practicable to make surveys over all
the area between the mouth of the river
and the District line. Fortunately, he says,
surveys have been made, at different times
by government engineers over good deal
OF the area between the mouth of the
river and the Baltimore and Potomac rail-
road bridge. within comparatively recent
years. A large part of these surveys may
be made available for the work in hand.
The field work of the SURVEYS is under way.

established from which to set tide gauges.

HANNA STANDS BY COL. DICK
Split in the Senator'S Faction Assumes
Serious Proportions.
Democrats In Ohio Hope to Profit by
the Trouble In the Repub-
Iican Camp.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 1s.-The split in
the Hanna faction of the republican party
is assuming a serious aspect
With the Bushnell or anti-Hanna fac
ticn almost certain to oppose the state
ticket and the other faction engaged in
internecine war, the case of the democrats
in Ohio this fall is viewed by them as by
no means hopeless.
Last night John r. Malloy, who was
elected secretary of the state executive
committee last week. placed letter in
the hands of Chairman Cyrus Huling of
the state central committee, stating that
he would not accept the office.
Malloy had just come from Cleveland.
where he consulted with Senator Hanna in
regard to the matter and his declination
of the secretaryship is in accordance with
the senator's advice.
The trouble grows out of the contest for
the nomination for governor next year,
which is already on. Colonel c. F. Dick
is a candidate and Senator Hanna wants
him to have it. H. M. Daugherty, chairman
of the state executive committee, is also a
candidate.
The anti-Dick men were willing to per-
init Malloy, who is Senator Hanna's close
friend, TO be secretary of the committee
this year If he would accept Martin Cowen
as his assistant.
Cowen is an anti-Dick man, and the OBJ
ject of putting him on the committee was
to see that nothing was done in this cam
paign to further Colonel Dicks candidacy.
Malloy objected to Cowen and his OBJ
lection Is now sustained by the senator.
Hanna stands by Colonel Dick, and it
evidently means that IL the state committee
persists in its hostility to Dick the sena-
tor will contribute neither funds nor ef-
fort to the work of the present campaign.

MRS. ROCKHILL DEAD.
Wife of United States Minister to
Greece Passes Away.

Greece Passes Away.
ATHENS. July 1s---Mrs. Rockhill, the
wife of Mr.. w. W. Rockkill. the United
States minister to Greece, died yesterday
9f typhoid fever.
The news of the death OF Mrs. Rockhill
will be heard in this city with intense
regret. She was well acquainted, not only
among the official circles. but also among
other residents. With her family, she
sided here during some of her husbands
long travels in foreign countries. During
his connection with the State Depart
ment as chief clerk and first assistant sec
rotary, Mrs. Rockhill made her home very
attractive to those in official life, by whom
she was greatly liked. She went abroad
about two years ago to be with her daugh-
ter during the finishing Of her. education,
and after Mr.. Rockhilps appointment as
minister to Greece Joined him In Athers,
from which point she has written to home
friends many interesting letters. One Of
the most talked-of incidents of Mr.. Rock
hills career in the State Department was
the disinclination Of the then French am
bassador to this country, Mr.. Patenotre,
to have any Intercourse, even officially,
with the former. The feeling was entirely
shared by Mr.. Rockhilf, and gave Else to no
end of comment. Of which copious eApla-
nations were made by the two principals
and accepted as satisfactory by the friends
of each. A personal slight which the
French ambassador felt he had suffered In
the home of Mr.. RockhilI, while the latter
and his wife were living in China, was
the basis Of the misunderstanding.

resume operations by the Penwell Mining
Company with non-union miners was a
complete failure, not miner appearing for
work. The Penwell Company had given
notice that it would resume with non-union
miners from Hillsboro. and a large force of
deputy sheriffs and extra police were on
hand to protect any men who might at
tempt to enter the mine. The Penwell
premises and streets leading thereto were
crowded with several hundred union miners
and their wives. The deputies and police
tried vainly to dispense the crowds. A large
number of arrests were made.

veying non-union miners to work in car
riages. Serious trouble is expected.
