QUEER JAPANESE IMAGE.
Dug Up at Kioto and Sent to New
York by Rev. s. D. Gring.

New York, June 30.-An interesting
relic of early Japanese history has just
been received at the Church Missions
House, Fourth avenue and East Twen-
ty-second street, from the Rev. A. d.
GrinG, a missionary of the Domestic
and Foreign Missionary Society of the
Protestant Episcopal church, now resi-
dent in KiotO, Japan. The relic con-
sists of a rough fragment of stone, like
granite, out of which has been carved
the form of a human or divine person
age, which was apparently object Of
worship in one of the temples of the
city.
In the process of digging a deep well
for the use of ST. Agnes Episcopal
school, in Kioto, the workmen came up
on this stone with its remarkable sculp-
ture and carefully hoisted it to the sur
which the image has been cut is about
three feet long and a little over a foot
in diameter. According to the Rev. Mr..
Gring, the donor, the image is a sculp-
ture of Observation-Disclosures who has
been called the COnfucius of Japan, and
is not less than 1,004 years old. Suga-
wara- Michisane belonged to one of the
most distinguished families in Japan,
about the ninth century of the Chris
tian era, and was rendered famous by
the great interest he took in promoting
the cause of education among his peO-
pie. Many temples were erected in mis-
honor and students worship his spirit
as the patron god of letters and litera-

CHINESE OUTRAGES.
Britons and Americans Held Up and
q Yankee Imprisoned.


Vancouver, B. c., June 30.-The Brit
ish ship WO On, owned by Banker &
Co, was held up on May % at KAN
chuck, on the West river, by % masked
robbers, who coolIy emptied her cargo
into junks lying alongside, after which
the passengers, many of them British
and Americans, were made. to hand over
81, 900 in cash. Three Chinese torpedo
boats, placed on the river to prevent
piracy, were anchored within 500 yards
of the scene of the outrage, but made
no attempt to assist the merchantmen.
After the robbery the captain of the
Wo On reversed her flag at the mast
head, but the torpedo boats steamed
by without paying any attention to the
signals of distress. Boat captains of the
West river held a meeting after the
robbery and sent a resolution to Pekin
recording the robbery.
A strange incident happened in Pekin
a few days before the steamer left, in
which a brave American citizen figur-
ed. 1t appears that DR.. Yung Wing,
Ii. D., a graduate of Yale, was de-
cOyed from Shanghai by direction of
Prince Chang and was imprisoned in
the temple. It was given out that the
reason was his sympathy with the re-
form movement. On the eighth day an
American disguised as a Chinese at
tache of the American consulate enter
ed the prison, held up the jailers, cut
Yungs bonds with sword and spirited
him away.

ALL ONE ROAD.
Street Car Lines of Greater New York
to Consolidate.

New York, June 3O.-The Tribune
says:
Negotiations looking to the consolida-
ton of all the street transportation lines
of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx
boroughs are in progress.
Within the last few months the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit company has alb
sorbed the Nassau Electric Railway
company, its chief competitor in the
business of transportation in that bor-
ough-the Brooklyn Elevated company,
owning elevated roads in several parts
of Brooklyn and operating the Brooklyn
Bridge railroad and the Brooklyn and
Brighton railroad, and it is soon to take
over the Kings County Elevated rail-
road, its control of which will leave only
one company, the comparatively small
Coney Island and Brooklyn system, out
side the fold. Its elevated lines are rap
idly being equipped with electricity; the
third rail- being already in use on the
bridge and on parts of the roads in
Brooklyn itself. Its surface cars, too,
now cross the bridge.
The elevated lines of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit system have their New
York terminus at a point almost ad-
joining the terminus of the Third Ave
nue. Elevated road.
The Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany, controlled by the powerful Whit
ney syndicate. has steadily absorbed
line after line in this borough, until
now it operates seven main lines, run
ming north and south, and a, large num-
Der of branches and cross town lines,
which it is rapidly as possible equip
ping with electricity. 1t is building, too
a great power house, in which it expects
to generate more than enough electric
ity to run its cars, it's purpose being
to sell its surplus electricity for general
commercial purposes.
The Manhattan Railway company re-
Gently arranged for the issue of s18,-
600. 900 of new stock, the proceeds of $1O,-
100000 of this amount to be used for the
equipment of it's road with electricity.
Like the elevated roads of the Brooklyn
Transit company, the Manhattan lines
are to have the third rail- and like the
Metropolitan, it is building big power
house and will sell it's surplus electricity
to the general public.
The Tribune has reason to believe
that consolidation, or virtual consolfda-
ton, is very close at hand although it
may not at first include the Third Ave
nue. COMPANY

VOLUNTEERS FIRST.
Getting Them Home Is to Take
Precedence.

Chicago, June 3O.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Under direct orders from the presi-
dent, every nerve is to be starined to
get the volunteer regiments away from
the Philippines without a days delay.
Even the important work of sending
reinforcements is to be considered sec
ondary to the necessity of returning
the volunteers. The president feels that
they have been kept too long already
and is anxious to see the last man
homeward bound.
To facilitate the work the administra-
ton has ordered transports to clear
from San Francisco as soon as they
can be made ready for sea, whether
there are recruits ready or not. They
will take reinforcements when there
are any ready to sail. but after arrival
will hasten back for volunteers without
regard to the new recruits for Otis. The
president has also authorized the pur-
chase of two new transports, which
will be put into the regular service as
soon as they can be equipped. After the
volunteers are retired the transports
will carry back full loads of regulars
and when they are landed will return
for the new volunteers

Children.

New York, June 3O.-GeneraI Leonard
Wood, governor Of Santiago was the
guest of honor at an informal reception
given by the Cuban orphan fund in the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon The rooms of the chamber were

General Wood spoke on conditions in
Cuba. He said many children We're dy-

no better plan of relief than the Or
phanages.
I'VE are going to be held responsible
for whatever happens in Cuba. We
cannot hope to establish any liberal
government in Cuba with the present
educational system. I would like to
state. and make it very emphatic, that
the schools should be absolutely nom
sectarian. Religion should be left out
entirely at present and in the future
only brought up as the trend of relig-
ious feeling shows"
General Wood left New York last
night for Washington, where he will
