Uprising Nea" Chang King Due to Hatred
of Christians.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 1.-THE Kobe
News, under date of Oct. IS, says: The
latest kilograms respecting the risings
in; the neighborhood of Chung King
state that il is movement against the
missionaries ON the part Of a marauding
band led by one Yu Max Use. The
French church, hospital and school, an !
also the American Methodist church at
Hong Chou, about so miles from Chung,
King have been destroyed. The ranks
of the marauders are constantly swelled
and the lawless mob now numbers
about %, 900, most of them armed with
Anticipated rifles, but about 1000 mer
are armed with Winchester rifles. There
are about 80 English and American
subjects living in Chung King. Mr..
Smithers is the United States consul
there The consuls wired to their re-
spective min; 3ters at Picking asking that
pressure be brought to bear upon the
viceroy to send troops to suppress the
riots; but owing to political changes at
Picking, the government, it is said, will
not be able to comply with the order.
The general in command of the garri-
son at Cheng Tu has committed suicide
to escape punishment for not suppress
ing rioters.
The English and American residents
of Chung King have left the city and
gone down the river to a place of safety.
The home department of the Japanese
government is making an investigation
with the object of placing Christian and
Buddhist temples under the same regr
lations.
Under the present laws Buddhist
priests are debarred from sitting in the
diet, although Japanese Christian pas
tors, are permitted to sit; on the other
hand Buddhist temple is exempt from
taxation, while Christian is not.

AN ALLIANCE
Said Emperor Williams Visit Has
Resulted in an Agreement
With Turkey,
By Which He Agrees to Guar.n-
tee the Integrity of the Sui
tan's Domain
And in Return Receives Valuable
Commercial and Industrial
Privileges.
IF True, the Movement Promises
to Incur the Vigorous OpDS1
sitiOn of Russia.

BERLIN, Nov. THE Frankfort lei
tung says it learns from well informed
source that Emperor Williams visit to
Turkey led to an agreement, by which
Germany undertakes to support the in
tegrity of the sultan's possessions, for
which Germany will receive CONNER
cial and industrial privileges. The pa
per adds that it is believed this agree
ment is tantamount to an armed alliance
between the two countries.
A number of rumors as to the real OBJ
jects of Emperor Williams visit to Con-
stantinople and the Holy land have been
in circulation ever since the intention Of
his majesty to visit the Orient was an
nounced about a year ago. The alleged
purpose included important railroad
concessions to Germany, the ceding
territory in Syria to Germany for colon
izing purposes, the ceding of the port of
Hafa, in Palestine, the ceding of the
island Of Rhodes to Germany, and tn
granting to Germany of the right to
plant large German colony all alon~
the whole frontier Of Tripoli. This last
agreement, il was added, was intended
to protect the sultan against French en-
croachments across the Tripoi-T unis
frontier, and would also avoid granting
Germany a concession in Asia Minor
which, it is added, would induce Russia
to demand compensation.
On the other hand, it has been an.
nounced that some of the powers have
notified Turkey that she will not be per
mitted to cede any territory to Germany
and Russia, 1t was announced from Ber-
lin on Saturday last, is arriving atan I'm.
derstanding with Austria and France t
provide against the accomplishment
certain German plans in the Orient.

Consul Monaghan Makes a Series of Re-

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Consul Mon
oghan at Chemnitz has been making a
series of special reports to the state de-
partment on the utilization of the water
power and canalization in Germany.
He gives some figures to illustrate the
economy of the system practiced there
particularly in the reduction of freight
rates and says the Importance of canali-
zation to an industrial country need
hardly be mentioned. With two canals
now under construction completed,
cheap transportation is possible to all
parts of the empire. The results have
always more than justified the expendi-
lures, "and," says the consul, ''the
kaiser's recent remark that the empires
future is on the water is an encourage
ment to canal builders"

Tuesday as the Governor Osborn funeral
started from the First Methodist church
another funeral that of a little child, cut
through it and the two funerals proceed
ed east on Sixth street on either side of
the street.
There is a case of scarlet fever in the
family of Judge F. G. Adams of College
Hill. A little girl who was being kept
for short time for the Kansas Waits
home was taken i'll, and all the Adams
family have left the residence until the
child shall have recovered, rather than
be guaranteed.
The Edison company, which recently abb
sorbed the Brush plant, will rebuild the
Brush wiring system. The small poles
and old wires on both sides of Kansas
avenue will be removed and the new wires
will be strung on the tall telephone and
telegraph poles now in place on Kansas
avenue. This will improve the appearance
of the avenue considerably and will lessen
the danger of the old system. The Brush
plant will be consolidated with the Edi-
son plant and all the electric power fur
nished from the Edison plant.

WHO Is TO PAY?
Somebody Owes the Probate Judge a
Dollar on Every Marriage.

Probate Judge DOlman of Shawnee
county has been the cause OF bringing
no end of woe to Assistant Attorney
General George Smelling
1t is Mr.. Snel1ing's particular duty to
answer all communications asking for
opinions on any of the points of the va
rious state laws, and since Judge Dol
man announced several days ago that
he believed probate judges could, under
the new fee and salary law, collect 50. 80
instead of $3.50 for issuing marriage
license, Mr.. Smelling has been deluged
with letters asking him if Judge Dol
mans opinion is correct
The law provides that probate judges
may collect $3.50 for issuing marriage
license, and that they are also entitled
to 81 for recording its return. But
right here the question arises of who
shall pay the fee for recording the re-
turn. When the license is issued the
judge is only allowed by law to collect
81. 80 and if the marriage is performed
by minister he invariably makes the
return, and usually by mail. There is
no legal reason why the minister should
give up 81 of his oftentimes small fee
for the privilege of carrying or mailing
the license back to the probate judge,
and by that time the couple are mar
ried and oblivious of probate judges and
marriage licenses
In his replies Mr.. Smelling tells the
probate judges that if the to-be-bene-
diets are green enough or happy enough
to be buncoed out of an extra dollar
when the marriage license is issued,
then probate judges can get $3.50 out Of
the service. But otherwise, Mr.. Smell
ling states, they will have to be content
with $3.50.

CHRIS GIVES BAIL
And is Released Shortly After Arriv-
ing in Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 9.-Chris Won Der
Abe, the st. Louis base ball magnate,
arrived at the Allegheny county Jail
last night in the custody of Detective
Nicholas Bendel, who made the sensa-
tiOnal kidnap at St. Louis. When the
party reached the jail they were met by
United States authorities, who pro-
duced ~habeas corpus papers issued by
Judge Burlington and claimed the pris-
oner. Bendel refused to deliver his man
until the United States marshal had
given him a receipt. After a consider
able wrangling this was done, and Mar
shall Gamble took charge of Mr.. Won
Der Abe. J. Scott Ferguson, his at
torney, then signed the bail bond for
s., 800, which released the magnate I'M
til a hearing in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings can be had.
Won Der Ahe's attorney says the ar
rest of his client was clearly illegal and
that he will go back to st. Louis under
protection and not in custody.
Mr.. Won Der Abe on his arrival was
nervous and plainly showed marks of
rough treatment. His clothing was dis
arranged and buttons were torn from
his coat and vest. He is very indignant
at the manner in which he was captur-
ed and the subsequent treatment, and
says he will fight the case to the end
Mr.. Won Der Abe is the guest of AttOr-
ney Ferguson at his East End mansion.

HE HAS BRYAN'S COAT.
Tim Murphy is Presented With the
Garment Worn at Chicago.


Kansas City, Feb. 9-Tim Murphy wears
the coat which Bryan had on when he
made his great speech at the Chicago con-
vention, the speech which secured for him
the Democratic nomina ton for president.
That is to say, Mr.. Murphy can wear the
coat whenever he chooses, for he has it
safely stored away in his trunk. For a
year the actor has been giving an imper-
sonation of the great orator. The two
men met in Lincoln, Neb., last week. They
at once became fast friends, and when
they separated the actor bore with him
the coat and necktie which the orator
wore when he made the most remarkable
speech of the decade.
Mr.. Bryan gave me the coat when I
was in Lincoln a few days ago." said Mr..
Murphy. I'VE had played at the opera
house in that city the night before. Mr..
Bryan had been in the audience and had
invited me to spend an hour at his home
I gladly accepted the invitation. While
we were there something was said about
my impersonation of him. and he offered
to give me the coat which he wore when
he made the famous speech, of which
give a brief extract. You can imagine
how much prize it memento.
"He not only gave me the coat, but he
took off the tie he was wearing and hand
ed it to me. I told him I had often heard
of a man taking off his shirt for friend
but I had never heard of his taking off a
necktie.''

PRAYER AT A DANCE.
Ministers Invited Come in and Hold
Religious Services.

Knob Noster, Mo, Feb. 9.-Severa1 days
ago the society young people of Knob
Noster issued invitations to a dancing
party and included the ministers of the
town in the list of invited guests The ball
was largely attended. Whether the invi-
tations to the clergy were intended as
joke or not is undecided. During the even
ing, when a rousing quadrille was being
reeled off to the inspiring strains of "A
Hot Time in the Old Town." the door
opened and Rev. F. H. Brigham of the
Methodist Episcopal church and Rev.
Frank Russell of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church walked in. The dancers
were demoralized and the dropping of
pin could be heard as Rev. Mr.. Russell
announced that they came on invita- ton
and would hold a short service
The young people found seats, and DR..
Russell produced his Bible. He selected
a chapter peculiarly appropriate to the
occasion and read in solemn and impress
i've tones The dancers were then re-
ouested to kneel while Rev. Mr.. Brigham
sent up an earnest petition to the throne
of heavenly grace, and prayed that the
dancers might be led to see the error of
their way, with all the fervor and elo-
uuence of his young heart. After the
benediction was pronounced the ministers
were invited to join in a short waltz, but
thew declined with thanks and departed,
and the dance went merrily on Rev. Mr..
brigham is an old-time foot ball player
and quite I'D to date in his pastoral work.
He was a member of the NJ. S. U. Tigers
in 1895, when Kansas was defeated.

THEY WANT THE X. P.
Committee is Trying
to Compromise With the
Government,

Washington, Feb. 9.-There seems to
be a probability that the negotiations
now pending between the government
and the Union Pacific reorganizing
committee will result in a settlement
of the governments claim against the
Kansas Pacific without the necessity
of a foreclosure sale.
Up to yesterday the best offer made
by the committee for the governments
interest in the road was 81, SOC, 900 and
upon this being declined another pro-
position was made on a basis of 81, $780,
OO0 which also was declined. The gov
accept less than S. 3O3, CO. the principal
of the debt and as the difference be
tween this amount and the offer alrea-
dy made is only $1,S03, 900, it is believed
that before the time arrives for making
the motion for leave to pay off the first
mortgage and for the pOstpOnement of
the sale the full amount will have been
offered and accepted.

BAD FIRE AT TT. WORTH
Greatest Fire Loss in the City's
History Today.

Kansas City, Feb. "a Star special
from Fort Worth, Texas, says: At
O'Clock this morning the largest proper
ty loss by fire that ever occurred here
took place. The eight story Hurley
office building, the Dreyfus cOmpany's
mammoth dry goods house, the Farm
ers' and Mechanics bank, the general
offices of the Fort Worth and Denver
City Railway company, the Fort
Worth Cycle company and one or two
small merchandising companies being
burned to the ground.
The fremen were unable to get the
fire under control before 9 o'clock this
morning. The total loss is estimated
at over $3.50, goo. The Hurley building
was the largest in the city and was
owned by William Butler, trustee of
the Simpson heirs of Boston. It is
impossible at this time to ascertain the
exact amount of insurance, but it is
known that it will fall far short of the
loss. over twenty tenants in the Hur-
ley building lost everything. Flying
embers fell ten blocks away. Street
car lines are paralyzed, wires cut and
no cars are running.
1t is the worst calamity that ever be-
fell the city.

TOWNE IN BIRMINGHAM.
He Explained the Purpose of the Sill
yer Republicans.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 9.-CharIes A.
Towne of Duluth, Mimi, former mem
Der of congress, and chairman of the
National Silver Republicans organiza-
ton, spoke here last night under the
auspices of the local Democratic Bime-
talIic club. He was greeted by large
and enthusiastic audience.
In the course of his speech Towne
Said that he was just from a conference
of the national leaders of the three sill
yer parties in Washington, and, in pur-
suance of their plans, is enroute to the
Pacific coast to campaign for silver in
California, Washington and Oregon. He
said that the first gun in the campaign
of 1900 Will be fired in Oregon in June
next.
Referring to the purpose of the ma
tional silver Republican party, he said
that it is a club raised to knock the
brains out of both the Democrat and
Populist parties if they failed to do
their duty, and intimated that it would
eventually be merged into that party
which did it's duty according to the con-
ception of the silver Republicans. The
speaker was particularly severe in his
excoriation of the Mckinley admins
tratfon for its duplicity on the question
of international bimetallism.
