international Affairs.

The continuation of hostilities In China,
and the assassination Of King Humbert of
Italy-which was the direct cause of a
largely amplified police surveillance of Null
berry Bend. where the main colony Of New
York Italians is planted-are two matters
that have effectually served to put at least
a temporary end to Summing on the part
of New York visitors. The guides and
couriers who have for years made a BUSH
ness Of escorting strangers through the
malodorous Chinese and Italian quarters
are consequently looking to other roads to
the enjoyment of daily mixed ale and COM
parative ease. The truth Is that the Chi
nese quarter in particular. just now, isn't
the safest district in New York wherein to
go abroad at night. Since the beginning
of the troubles in China the New York
Chinese-with really little or no reason
wherein to base such an expectation-haye
been looking for an attack in force upon
their domain on the part of the Caucasian
population of New York. and every man

guards. to employ the western phrase. 1t

RISE IN COFFEE.
Brings High Degree of Prosperity to
Venezuela.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Frank LOOMS,
United States minister to Venezuela,
has arrived in Washington on leave of
absence from his post Mr.. Loomis says
that when he left Venezuela the country
was perfectly quiet so far as political
conditions were concerned. CONNER
cialy there has been a great improve
ment in affairs, and the rising price of
coffee promises a period of great pros
perity. American capital, he says, is
going into Venezuela in increasing
quantities. One corporation has just
undertaken to supply Caracas, the cap
ital of the country, with Illuminating
and heating gas, manufactured at the
seaport Of La Guayara, twelve miles
distant. Gas coal in Caracas costs $12
a ton. At sea level the price is 81, hence
the projected pipe line. Another Amer
lean enterprise under way is the cree
ton of electric light plants at La Qua
yara to light Caracas by long distance
transmission of power.
Mr.. LoomiS says that the conditions
across the line in Colombia are politi-
caliy in confusion, and this has affected
business unfaVorably.
Just before Mr.. LoOmiS left Caracas
the two commissions appointed to de-
limit the boundary line in the disputes
between Venezuela and Great Britain
and Venezuela and Colombia arrived
and entered upon their work. Tt is be-
lieved, Mr.. Loomis said, that under the
award of 1896. when Spain acted as ar
bitratOr between Venezuela and Colon
bia. that Venezuela will lose almost one
seventh of her territory, being almost
the entire strip of coast west of the Rio
Negro.

That is that the British forces will re-
main in Pekfn indefinitely. England
being without a diplomatic ally in the
Chinese complication will naturally
maintain an attitude of mastery in ac-
tivity, and decline to send away her
troops until the imperial government
has been reconstructed and some effect
i've measures have been taken for secur-
ing the punishment of the guilty man
darinS.
Press dispatches are filled with fore
casts of the peace negotiations at Pekin
and the conditions which Russia and
the other powers are likely to impose.
Most of the summaries are ingenious
guess work and all are premature The
demand for the return of the emperor
to power is accurately stated without
doubt, but this leaves the question of
the empress influence unsettled, and
that lies at the bottom of the present
complications. The leaders of the boxer
revolt and of the imperial army never
can be punished if she retains any in
f1uence at the palace.

O'ROURKE DROPS SHARKEY
Prize Fighter Will Open a Saloon in
New York

New York. Sept. 15.-Tom O'Rourke.
manager of Tom Sharkey, has decided
to let Sharkey manage himself in the
future For months. it is said,
O'Rourke and Sharkey have had nu-
merous kicks. When the story was cir
culated a few months ago that Sharkey
had left O'Rourke and would be man
aged by Jack Dougherty, O'Rourlxe
boiled up and declared the Sailor would
fight under his mana cement or not at
all, as his contract with him would pre-
vent him from fighting in New York
state under any other manager. This
was the starting of the trouble between
ORourke and Sharlxey, and since that
time they have had frequent quarrels
which no doubt have been responsible
for ORourke'S refusing to manage the
-'ship ahOy" fighter another year.
O'Rourke said today: 4 intend to
act as manager for only two fighters
hereafter, and they are Joe Walcott
and George Dixon
DO you mean that you really will
not manage Sharkey hereafter"
Yes. L mean it. I will let him do
for himself from this time on, and then
he can see if he can manage his affairs
better than I did" replied O'Rourke-
How about Bob Armstrong, whom
