of any Kind except oyster-liquor. Being

Mr. Bayard Immediately replied Il hon.

ALL QUIET AT PEKIN,
chinamnn Who InsuIted Europeans
Publicly Punished,

Pekin, Oct. 5.--There Is an entire abb
sense of excitement here. and the streets
are as quiet as those of London. The
decision Of the Russian legation to in
crease the strength of its escort or
guard Is calculated to have an in
furious effect in keeping up the fiction
of excitement. This step has obliged
the British minister. Sir Claude M.
Macdonald to follow suit and de-
tachment of British marines has been
ordered to the capital for the protec-
tion of the legation of Great Britain.
The place where number of Eu-
ropeans were recently insulted has been
roped off, and inside of 1t the eight Of
tenders have been placed. wearing
heavy cages, inscribed Punished for
assaulting Europeans" The Chinese
foreign office has amply apologized for
the occurrence, and several regiments
are held In readiness in case of dis
orders.
Well Informed people here differ as
to whether Ii Hung Chang will return
to power. But the absence of news
from the palace leads to the assump-
tion that the power of the dowager
empress is definitely assured. Fur
ther changes are improbable. as the
emperor is reduced to a state of tute-
lage

SENATOR PENROSE'S CHARGES.
Mr.. Wanamaker's Alleged Efforts TO
Secure a SenatorShiD,

Secure n SenatorshiD.
Huntingdon, Pa, Oct. 5.-United
States Senator Penrose and Colonel
W. A.. Stone. Republican candidate for
governor. were the speakers at an en-
thusiastic county meeting here last
night This was Senator Penrose's first
speech In the campaign. He devoted
most of his attention to Mr.. Wana-
paker. saying In part:
During the selection of the Republic
can candidates for the legislature in
1895 Mr.. Wanamaker was a candidate
for the United States senate, and made
overtures to influential gentlemen in
the Republican organization to obtain
their support. A representative of Mr..
Wanamaker went to Pittsburg, where
he sought out prominent Republicans
in the endeavor to interest them in
Wanamaker's behalf In the senatorial
campaign.
Sometime in the spring Of 1896 I met
Mr.. Wanamaker's representative, with
whom l was previously acquainted, at
Pittsburg. l went with him to the resi-
dence of Richard r. Quay. at Swick-
ley. A conference ensued in regard to
the political situation in Pennsylvania.
During that conversation Mr. Wana-
makers representative stated that
John Wanamaker wanted to be United
States senator and he (Wanamaker)
was willing to put up about $25O, 900 IL
Quay and his friends would make him
senator. The same gentleman said II
this was done Mr.. Wanamaker would
not interfere with the political patron
age of the state. but would agree that
Quay should control the senatorial ap-
pointments, as all Wanamaker wanted
was the social advantages which the |
senatorship would bring to him."
Mr.. Penrose proceeded to discuss al |
legged attempts of Wanamaker agents |
to bribe legislators to vote for the ex-
postmaster general for senator.

was granted decree, with the Gust t)dy
of the two children. Judge Bland 1e-
cides that the divorce was an inJus-
tice to Mr.. Campbell. He said the
evidence went to show that Campbell
was a poor man. working for wages,
while his wife had $4,000 in property
and a fixed income Of $50 a month be-
sides. The husbands only offense was
his, poverty. Judge Bland said there
was no law in Missouri which made

Camden, ~ j., Oct 5.-The interest
manifested in the previous trial Of
young Eli Shaw, when he was arraign-
ed on the charge of numbering his
grandmother, Mrs. Emma Zane. and
acquitted, was noticeably lacking yes
terday, when Shaw was again placed
on trial for his life in the Camden
court for the mother of his mother,
Mrs. Sarah Shaw. Since the acquittal
of Shaw on the charge of killing his
grandmother the morbid desire of the
throngs who were so persistent in their
attendance at the first trial seems to
have been satisfied. The case now.
evidently, has no elements of sensation
alism for the crowd.
