KILLED AT THE ROLLAND HOUSE,
Mrs. Arthur Levy's lead Crushed by the
Elevator.


New York, Feb. 13.-Mrs. Arthur
Levy of 20 West Eighty-fourth street.
and the wife of a member of the whole
sale clothing firm of Hays, Goldberg e
Co., was instantly killed tonight in an
elevator at the Holland house. The ac-
cident was most extraordinary and is
probably without a parallel in the long
list of elevator casualties that have
occurred since the invention of that We
hicle. A party of ladies, of which Mrs.
Levy was one, had accepted an invita-
tion of H. C. Marks, st. Louis mer-
chant, to go to the hotel where he was
guest, and look at display of pho
tographs which he had gathered.
Reaching the Holland house, Mr.. Marks
escorted the ladies to the elevator and
gave orders to have them shown to
the parlor, he returning to the hotel
desk.
On entering the elevator Mrs. Levy
placed her hand upon her forehead
and complained of dizziness to her
companions. Before they could reply,
the elevator boy had closed the door
of the shaft, gripped his lever and the
car shot up with bound. Almost at
the same moment Mrs. Levy reeled
and fell with her head out of the door,
The elevator was about an inch and
half from the walls of the shaft and
as far as the walls her head extended.
There was sickening crash and the
boy with dexterous move brought his
car to a stop at the first floor. 1t was
too late. Mrs. Levy lay lifeless on the
bottom of the elevator, her mead crush
| ed in as if by heavy bludgeon. 1t had
| been struck by the slight interjection
Of the first floor.

COLLEGE no BE REMOVED.
The Upsala of Brooklyn-An Endowment
of 800. 900.

Manchester, N. H.. Feb. 13-At the
afternoon session Of the Swedish Luth-
eran conference Saturday 1t was vot-
ed after a long and spirited debate, to
permit the trustees of Upsala college,
Brooklyn, N. Y, to do as they please in
the matter of its removal. This means
that the college will be removed to
New Orange, N. j., where land valued
at $4,000 and an endowment fund of
100000 has been offered at conditioned
upon the change. The opposition in the
conference wanted the Brooklyn college
abandoned, holding that Augustana
college at Rock Island, ILL.,, was sufi-
cient for all the needs of the confer
ence.

Service in Presence of n Congregation of
Pilgrims.

Rome, Feb. 13.-The pope celebrated
mass to-day in the Basilica, in the
presence of congregation of pilgrims
from all parts of the country, in honor
of past and coming anniversaries
jointly of his first mass, his election
and coronation. His holiness was
borne to the church in the Sedla Ges-
tatoria, and an elaborate ceremony
was observed. The pope knelt while
his chaplain celebrated the second
thanksgiving mass, and then, seated on
the throne, received the leaders of the
pilgrims. At the conclusion he pro-
nounced the apostolic benediction in a
strong voice, after which he was car
ried from the church with the same
ceremony. His holiness appeared to
be in excellent health.

Danbury, Feb. 13.-The police in New
York have been notified to be on the

STATE DEPARTMENT Is MUM
SECRECY REGARDING WOODFORD'S
CYPHER DISPATCH.

Assistant Secretary Day Says That Fact OF
Information Being withhold is Not to
be Taken as Serious Indication-How De
Lome's Letter Was Intercepted-Another
Filibustering Expedition Leaves Tampa
CLARA Barton Begins Work.
Washington, Feb. 13.-The three hun
dred-word cipher dispatch received
from Minister Woodford on Saturday
night was translated at the state de-
partment to-day, but no intimation of
it's import could be secured from Off
cial sources. Assistant Secretary of
State Day, who has been entrusted
with the whole correspondence by the
president, refused to discuss the mes
sage. He said merely that there was
no development in the case which
could be made public at this time. In
one instance he supplemented this
statement by the remark that the
mere fact of information being with
held was not to be taken as serious
indication.
Every effort to supplement Secretary
Days statement with some information
from the white house failed. To ur-
gent appeals for something definite the
president replied through Secretary
Porter that the whole matter was in
Secretary Days hands and that the
president relied on him to handle the
information for the press. 1t was stat
ed at the white house, however, that
there was no truth in the rumor of an
assault upon Minister Woodford.
Minister Woodford's course, it was
stated, had been entirely satisfactory,
and any criticism at this time was un-
fair. 1t could not be ascertained posi-
lively whether or not an answer to
Minister Woodford's last dispatch has
been sent. 1t is almost certain, how
ever, that a reply has been drafted and
that it was put in cipher at the state
department this evening. Sidney I.
Smith, chief of the diplomatic bureau,
was at the department until after 8
o'clock. Special orders had been issued
also to allow no one in the building
/ without pass.

ADVICES FROM THE ORIENT
CONSIDERABLE TROUBLE ON SHIPS
MANNED BY JAPANESE CREWS.

Great Britain Called Upon to Interfere and
Prevent the Partition of China-England
Negotiating for the Opening of Another
Treaty Port-New Years Audience to
Foreign Ministers.
San Francisco, Feb. 13.-The Orient
al and Occidental Steamship companys
steamer Gaelic arrived to-day from
Hong Kong, Yokohama and Honolulu,
bringing the following advices: The
Hong Kong, Telegraph says that con-
tinual trouble Is being reported from
vessels manned by Japanese crews, the
Japanese resenting any instructions or
surveillance from European officers
and displaying an especial grudge for
European passengers. Several cases
| have been reported where officers were
marked for attack by the Japanese
and warned to withdraw from the SER
wise, the retention of their positions
being invariably followed by a MUIR
derous attack from ambushed Japan
ese The Japanese armed with knives,
crowbars and Delaying pins brutally
beat the chief engineer and his assist
ant and attacked a passenger, Thomas
Hall, in his BERTH on 6. German steam
! er.
The Shanghai Recorder deplores any
partition Of China which, it says, will
certainly be unfavorable to missionary
work. adding that it will be a sad thing
for all concerned If the powers under
take such action, predicting that parti-
tion would be the beginning of un-
ending strife and bloodshed.
The Recorder calls upon Great Brit
ain to interfere and says that China
shall not be divided but that she shall
be reformed and saved, predicting that
in such interference England would
have the support of Japan and the ac-
tive acquiesence of the United States.
The annual cotton report from
Shanghai states that the year Of 1897
was one of extraordinary vicissitudes
to those in this trade. The year began
with an enormous stock of unsold
goods on hand. Prices declined stead
lily until the end of August Then came
stringency in the Chinese money
market, the result being widespread
disaster among the cotton dealers, very
few importers escaping heavy losses.
The turning point is believed to have
| been reached, however, the year 1898
opening with an improved demand and
an increased number of transactions,
although Shanghai jobbers can hardly
congratulate themselves on the prices
obtained. The chartered transport Je-
lunga from Hong Kong arrived at
Singapore on January 6, bringing the
first battlaion of Prince of Wales Own
and bringing away the same day the
departing rifle brigade.
Pekin Feb. 13.-England is negotiat-
ing with China to open Yuen- Chau Flu
in the province of HUMAN, as a treaty
port and is negotiating also on the
subject of the navigation of inland
waters. The Chinese government has
paid the indemnity of $4,000 to M
Laiudet, the Frenchman kidnapped by
Tonquin pirates in 1895. The new
years audience for the foreign minis
ters has been fixed for February Is and
the banquet by the Tsung Lii Yamer
will be given the following day. Ow-
ing to the long delay the ministers had
declined an audience; but the Tsung-
Li-Yamen has now arranged the mat.
