The Mohican to Be overhauIed.

San Francisco. Sept. 16. = The
United States gunboat Mohican has
arrived from Honolulu. She will go to
Mare Island. It is understood that she
will be overhauled and prepared for
a cruise to Samoa. The overhauling
will take considerable time, as her
boilers are said to be in very poor CON
dition and will probably have to be re-
placed. The Mohican went ashore
while coming out of Honolulu, but was
pulled off by a tugboat without sus-
tanning any damage.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
A Former Servant Kills a Louisville
Man, His Child and
Herself.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 16.-Joseph F.
Villier, his two-year-old child and a
woman named Nellie McGuffin were
found dead in a room in the Enterprise
hotel Thursday morning. From notes
left by the woman it was learned she
had given Villiers and the child NOR
phine in wine, but, fearing that this
would not be effective, had shot him
through the right temple and then
turned the revolver upon herself, death
being instantaneous in each case. The
child was already dead from the effects
of the drug. Villier was a motorman
for the Louisville City Railway COM
pany and was &c years old. He was a
widower. The woman had once been
employed by Villier as a servant.

Mount yesuviu. Active.

Naples, Sept. 16.-Mount Vesuvius is
presenting the grandest spectacle since
1872, due to a violent outburst of activ-
ity. The central crater and a number of
new mouths are vomiting lava and
ashes. Three imposing streams are
flowing down the mountain side, burn
ing the chestnut woods at the base of
Monte Somma, nearly reaching the OBJ
servatory, destroying part of the funi-
cular railroad leading thereto and
threatening the barracks of the cara
biniers.

THE DEAD
of the Funeral Train in Vi
enna-Blessing of the
Remains.

Vienna, Sept. 16.-The funeral train
arrived at ten o'clock Thursday even
ing, Prince Won L~iechtenstein, the
chief court marshal, the officers of
the general staff and a military guard
of honor were waiting at the railway
station, which was heavily draped
with crepe. The clergy having blessed
the remains, the procession started
for the hofburg, The whole route was
lined withtroops, and immense crowds,
bareheaded, stood silently watching.
The soldiers presented arms rs the
procession passed. The streets were
imposingly decorated. On reaching
the hofburg the remains were trans
ferred to the chapel. Emperor Fran
els Joseph, with the principal mourn
ers, had driven from Schonbrunn to
the chapel to attend the ceremony of
blessing the body.
The scenes at the station, in the
streets and near the hofburg were weird
and solemn. The ceremony was most
elaborate and impressive. There was
no music and the stiffness was only
OlohCh ny Tic "ulIcU uTuu1S, the sup
pressed sobs of the populace and the
words of command, which sounded
sharp and shrill, though given in an I'M
dertone. AS the coffin was borne to the
chapel the choir chanted the "Mis-
~erere."
The emperor's coming had been kept
a secret from the people. He was ac-
companied by his daughters and his
sons-in-law. After the benediction all
departed except the emperor and the
relatives, who remained along with the
beloved dead until shortly before mid
night, when they returned to Schon-
brunn. All the festivities III connec-
ton with the jubilee of Emperor Fran
els Joseph have been completely aban-
doned. The emperor will spend six
months in almost absolute retirement,
only attending to state business and
not going even for the usual autumn
deer shooting.

THE MONETARY CONVENTION.
Last Days Discussion at Omaha-Gen.
Warner Speaks Against the
Single Standard.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 16.-The third
an,l last day of the national currency
convention began with a paper in sup
port of an unlimited issue of irredeem-
able currency by the government by
Gen. A.. j. Warner, president of the
American Bimetallic union. Gen.
Warner said the debate would be di-
vided into first, the advocacy of bank
currency; second, a plea for a govern
mental currency to circulate concur
rently with the metals, and third, an
affirmation of an irredeemable govern
ment paper currency or absolute fat
ism. AS to the defense Of falling prices
made by the gold standard advocates,
he said he concurred in their opinions
except as to farm products, for which
the labor cost had not decreased, and
with the further qualification that
there had been no reduction in the
fixed charges, such as transportation
rates, debts and taxes.
A reply was made to him by Con-
gresham G.. N. Fowler, of New Jersey,
who supported bank currency. Mr..
Fowler said the only logical position
the silverites could take was that of
Gen. Warner; that if they could legis-
late values into silver they could legis-
late value into paper and make it re-
deem itself.
President Wills, of the Kansas ag-
ri%cultural college, led off in the aft
ernoon, arguing for public control OF
money. He charged the banks with
securing legislation inimical to the in
terests of the people and by manipula-
tions having produced the panics OF
1878 and 1893. He cited the post Of
flee as an instance of the operation of
public control of public utility, and
said money, the greatest of all public
utilities, should also be under public
control.
John P. Irish, of San Francisco, de-
Tended the gold standard in a few
words. Chairman Towne came back
at the gold mems contention that val
ues cannot be legislated into a sub
stance by saying legislation can af-
feet value. The only value money has
is its exchange value.

WOE IN THE WEST INDIES.
While the Havoc Wrought by the Re-
cent Hurricane Was Great, Loss Of
Life Is NOtSO Heavy as Reported.

ST.. Vincent, British West Indies,
Sept. 16.-The official reports reduce
the number of deaths here during the
that 800 lives were lost, but it is now
believed the number is considerably
smaller. The exact figures are not OBJ
tainable.
People are locking into Kingston,
ST. Vincent, from all the country
round for shelter and food. Every
where it appears that all the small
buildings and many large ones were
destroyed, and there is no doubt that
the fatalities were numerous. Sir
Cornelius Moloney, governor of the
Windward islands, cables hat two YES
sells were sunk and that the fate of
many others is unknown. The gov
ernor of Barbados, Sir J. S. Hay, re-
ports that the hurricane was of ten
hours duration. Already he has been
officially notified of 81 deaths and of
81 persons seriously wounded. The re-
ports from the country districts in
the island are incomplete, but there
has been a heavy loss of government
and private property. Assistance is
urgently required.
Trinidad, British West Indies, Sept.
ia steamer which has arrived here
from Barbados reports that fearful
havoc was caused there by the hurri-
cane on Saturday night. The destruc-
tion of property was immense. 1t is
believed over $50 persons were killed
throughout the island and numbers
were rendered homeless and destitute.
The shipping suffered seriously. The
ship Loando, a bark and two barken-
tines broke from their anchorage and
were driven to sea. They had not re-
turned when the steamer left Barba-
does. Many local vessels were wrecked
or blown out to sea. Bridgetown, the
capital of the island of Barbados, is
a scene of desolation and ruin. Demol-
ished or roof1ess houses are to be seen
on every side and hardly a tree is
standing. Particulars from the coun-
try are still wanting.

CHINAMAN DID NOT TRUST.
He Was Good Himself, But Did Not
Think Other People Were to
Be Relied On.

Speaking of laundries," said a Chi.
cago woman who was entertaining
friends, 81 had a most amusing in
stance once of trying to obtain laun-
dry service, and it was in the kingdom
CT the celestial laundryman, tool
mean his American kingdom-Wash-
ington, d. c."
Tell us about it," entreated her
friends, and Mrs. B said:
81 was visiting in Washington, and
not only had seen the ordinary every
day Chinaman in his stronghold, but
had been at the white house on a re.
ccption day when the members of the
Chinese legation had paid their re-
spects to the president. was charmed
with their gorgeous apparel, the
length and variety of their pigtails
attended the Chinese gathering in the
G street Methodist church and saw
the C~hinanaan studying the Bible with
a pretty American girl for teacher.
He was dressed in full Chinese cos
tune of silk or satin, and made a pic
ture, and he was obedient but shy"
"Who were the teachers" asked one
of Mrs. BIS guests.
1.-THE daughters of senator's and con
gressmen, some of the fair society
girls Of Washington, and is it any won
der that now and then a Chinaman
fell hopelessly in love with his teacher
and embarrassed her by presents of
live ducks and other tokens of his af-
fiction? Well, 1 promised my Wash

q Chinaman, and one particular Chi
namap at that, and one day, happening
10 be out alone. stopped at the laun-
dry in question and saw the identical
Sam Che Lung to whom l had been in
troduced the preceding Sunday. He
was not dressed in his womanish fnery
for business, but looked a very ordi-
nary celestial. The dialogue which
followed was something like this:
"'Who your. !,
81 gave my name and told him
where l had seen him.
"'Where live?'
81 mentioned the private hotel where
he was to send my laundry.
"Then he handed me a printed cir
cular, which gave in English the price

yellow forefinger to a conspicuous line
at the foot of the list, walked off and
left me. I got out on the street as
quickly as possible and then perused
that line. 1t read:
