g5* cation at London ls Very
Optimistic. -:"s

ARE HIDING the SITUATION
Believed the Dispatches and
Edicts Are Nothing But
% Subterfuges.
Report From Shanghai That
Empress and Court Are
Leaving Pekin. s~@."

LONDON, July 23.-sir Oheh LIE Feng,
the Chinese minister in England, took
the unusual step Of paying . Sunday
call at the foreign Office. As Lord Sails
bury was absent the visit was without
special result, but it's Importance may
be gathered from an interview with the
secretary of the Chinese legation, Sir
Halliday Mccartney, in which the lega.
ton officials seem to have assumed to
some respect personal responsibility.
Sir Halliday said that communication
would soon be reopened with Pekin
and that the messages from Sir Claude
Macdonald and the other ministers
might be expected at any minute. He
hoped the trouble would soon be over,
as the Chinse government was doing
it's utmost to overcome the difficulty
and control the lawless element. In his
opinion the Americans had taken the
most common sense view Of the stu
alton and he insisted that China ought
not to be misjudged. Against the sup
position that Ii Hung Chang had any
thing but a sincere pacific object in
view he protested warmly, asserting
that all stories about the
Perfidy and Treachery OF Earl Ii
were absolutely baseless. With regard
to the prospects in the Southern prov
inces the secretary admitted that there
might be small outbreaks, but he said
there could ba nothing serious and that
Europeans would be quite safe in treaty
ports. The long silence he explained as
''due probably to the rebels, who have
cut the wires and blocked the roads,"
Thus, according to the secretary Of
the legation, few days more should
bring a solution Of the great mystery.
Nevertheless no one in England believes
that the alleged dispatches and ediots
are anything but subterfuges to hide
the real situation as long as possible
and to- avert retribution by sowing
discord among the powers. + II ~ e. ' !.

THE CRUISING VESSELS
Large Expenditures Were Made
During the Last Fiscal Year.
The mount OF Coal Being Con-
sumed BY the American Navy
Is Increasing Year BY Year
at an Advanced Cost.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE report
of Adm. Bradford, chief Of the naval
bureau Of equipment, records un-
precedentedly large expenditures by
cruising ships during the last fiscal
year and the disbursement of large
amounts for freight involved in the
transportation of stores. Adm. Brad
ford sets forth the desirability of a
naval station at Guam, emphasizing
the Importance of the island as
naval base. He also recounts rapids
improvements in equipment work at
Cavite naval station, and the compile
ton of steel cold storage house at
PagO Pago,' on the island of Tuituila,
Samoa. A new floating dry dock for
the naval station at Algiers, La, is
to be completed by May, 1901
The amount. of coal being consumed
by the navy is increasing year by
year, and it's cost last year averaged
nearly 50 ton more than during the
fiscal year of 1898. Adm. Bradford
again renews his recommendations
for new naval coal depots. The bu-
reau recommends the installation of
the Marconi system of wireless teleg-
raphy on board of several ships of the
navy, provided it can be done at rea-
sonable cost. Experiments in this
system of signaling have proven sue
cessful in the main in the trials made
by ships of the North Atlantic squad
ron, although quite serious defect
has been discovered. In the event
that two vessels using the system
should attempt to signal single port
or vessel simultaneously the receiv-
ing station or ship is found to be I'M
able to distinguish between the mes
sages sent to it.
The report says that the survey by
the United States steamer Nero for
a trans-Pacific submarine telegraph
cable between Honolulu and the Phil
ippine islands was most successfully
accomplished and that satisfactory
route for an all-American cable to
connect the Pacific coast with the
outlying colonial possessions of the
United States in the Pacific and with
China and Japan has been discovered,
thoroughly explored, surveyed and
mapped. The bureau is now ready to
lay the cable at any time.
The attention of the department. is
called to the necessity for a survey
of the Western Pacific ocean. Many
reported danger spots" appear on the
charts whose absolute danger is
doubtful, thus giving rise to great
deal of uncalled-for solicitude among
navigators.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. f5.-.A
Times special from Tacoma, WASH,
says: At midnight at Gem, Ida, For

men were dead when bystanders sep
arated them. Adams was treated as
a hero and Wednesday a coroner's
jury. exonerated him on the grounds
OF self-defense.

ALASKA'S POPULATION
Nome District the Most Popuious in
the Northern Part of Territory.
Most of the Natives Are in the Dis
trict Lying Between the North
of the Yukon and the kus-
kOquin Rivers.

Washington, Nov 15.-The census
bureau recently completed the emu
meration of the district of Alaska
The schedules have been received at
the office and are now in process of
tabulation. The director of the cen
sus Wednesday gave out the follow
ing statement with reference to the
work in the great territory:
Samuel c. Durham, who had charge
of the work in the northern district,
returned to Washington a few days
ago and submitted his final report.
He left Washington on this work on
May 4, 1899
The native and mixed population of
the northern district of Alaska is
1852. The most populous district
with respect to the native population
is the country lying between the
mouth of the Yukon and Kusl0oquin
rivers and extending back from the
coast 100 miles.
Maurice Johnson, the agent for this
district, travelled over 1000 miles with
dog teams during the winter, and
enumerated 3,O13 persons, oil of
whom were Indians. The Indians in
this region are probably the most
destitute people in the North Ameri-
can continent. Mr.. johnson reports
that from December l to March Is
he visited a interior villages, and
during that time saw but three fires
burning in the shacks or dugouts.
The poor creatures huddle together
in their miserable dwellings during
the long winter and subsist on frozen
fish and a little seal oil, which they
secure on the coast during the sum-
mer. The fur-bearing animals, which
formerly furnished them with natural
clothing, are nearly extinct, and they
have been forced to adopt the white
mans garb, and, as their poverty pre-
vents them from securing enough to
cover their nakedness, there is great
suffering from the cold.
The spiritual condition of these
neglected natives is no better than
the physical. as the missionaries de-
vote their attention to the more at
tractive fields in The gold regions and
along the river, where their good
work may be seen.
The Nome district is the most pop
ulous in Northern Alaska. The emu
meration showed permanent white
population on June 1 of 2,7O4. Dur
ing the summer about $4,000 people
landed at Nome, about $500 of these
coming from Dawson. About 12,OOC
have returned to their homes in the
states, leaving about 1900 people in
the region contiguous to Nome It
is probable that the population of
the town of Nome during the winter
will be between 1000 and 5000.

POSTAL ESTIMATES.
Congress Will Be Asked an Aggre-
gate of About 1921, 100000 for
the Entire Service.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Postmaster
General Emory Smith has framed his
estimates to be submitted to congress
and will ask an aggregate of about
$121, 100000 as the appropriation for
the entire service for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1902. This includes
an estimate of $3,5OO,O00 for the rural
free delivery service. BY the close of
this fiscal year 1890 rural free deliv-
cry routes throughout the United
States will have been established and
the general extension contemplated
for next year will involve about 1850
additional routes. The success of the
service so far instituted has resulted
in plans for very general extension
next year. The postmaster general,
together with other officials, is in
vestigating the feasibility of putting
the service in operation at every point
throughout the country not reached
by the regular free delivery service
in operation in the cities.

MADMAN ON A VESSEL.
Armed With n Hatchet, He Dened

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Armed with a
Ratchet, John Kerwin, an insane stow
away, defed all the members of the
crew of the propeller Tioga to re-
move him from the vessel Wednesday
night and it was not until a police
officer managed to crawl through
small window in the side of the vessel
and got behind the mad man that he
was overpowered and removed from
the boat.
Capt. Wulke, of the boat, said that
he did not discover Kerwin until aft
er the steamer left Buffalo last Satur-
day. Kerwin pleaded so hard that he
be allowed to remain on the boat
that the captain permitted him to do
so Two days ago, however, the man
became insane, and since that time
the crew had great trouble with him.
When they tried to get him to leave
the boat upon it's arrival here, armed
himself with a Ratchet and threaten
ed to kill anybody who touched him.
