ALvORD, THE RESPONDING NOTE
 TELLER, WAS ARRESTED IN BOSTON
Located in a Lodging House and Expressed Pleasure That Sus-
 penSe Was Over.

Boston. October 29.-Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., the absconding note teller of the First National Bank in New York City, who Is charged with stealing $70000O from the bank, was arrested here this afternoon by Chief Inspector William Roberts of this city and Detective Armstrong of New York in an ordinary lodging house at the corner of West Newton street and Burlington av- enue.
 When arrested Alvord who knew Detec- tive Armstrong stated that he was glad the suspense was ended, and was willing to go back to New York without papers. He sat down the bed and smoked cigar, and was only dressed in his under clothes at the time. He dressed quickly and packing a few things in a bag, stated that he was ready to go A hack was called and he was driven to police headquarters, and after being measured and photographed under the Bertillon system, was taken to New York on the o'clock train.
 Inspector Watts said the department was first informed that Alvord was here Wednesday morning when Henry Alexan- der of Denver telephoned that he had seen Alvord in the Hotel Tourane He knew him well and described him perfectly. This in- formation was wired to Captain McCluskey of New York, who immediately sent Detec- tive Sergeant Tinker here to Identify AL Vord
 In the meantime Chief Watts and Detec- lives Douglass and Morrissey went to the hotel, but did not find the man. Inquiry of the hotel people brought out the fact that a man answering the description had reg istered as Bryan Sterling, and had been assigned a room, but that he had not used 1t. On the arrival of Detective Tinker a search of all the hotels in the city was made without success. From information brought to Chief Watts today, he and De- tective Armstrong went to a boarding house in the back bay. They went up to a back room the first floor and found the door locked. On gaining admittance as gas inspectors, Armstrong identified Alvord who seemed greatly relieved that Arm strong had arrived and arrested him, and said as much.

YANG YU,
Chinese Minister to Russia, Favors Ar
 bitration.

New York, October 29.-IIis Excellency Yang Yu Chinese minister to the court of St. Petersburg, while at Yalta, near where the Czar is staying, was questioned by a Herald correspondent regarding the Chi nese problem. His Excellency was three and a half years minister to the United States. He was also Chinese delegate to the peace conference at The Hague. He was asked how China would accept the idea of arbitration in this present trouble, to which he replied:
 My own idea Is that arbitration in this matter would be the ideal solution, for my fear at present is that unless something is done negotiations will drag on for a long time.
 ''The idea of arbitration is exceedingly popular with us in China. fear our peo- pie would object to court of arbitration the members of which comprised only Eu- ropeans. They feel that Europeans are prejudiced against them They would im- agine that they were not going to be treat ed fairly We should have to persuade our people that it was all right.
 Vt is to the interest of the United States to bring about a normal situation in China with the utmost rapidity America has a large trade with us, and that trade is be- ing very seriously damaged by the condi- tion of things. which may last long time. !"
 His excellency thought that Russia would support the idea, as the Czar's ideal was arbitration as shown by his calling togeth- CT of the peace conference. Then he said:
 England would join because she also is suffering severely in the matter of trade, which is becoming worse each day."

PRINCE SU
Gives Interesting Account of the Flight
 of the Count

Pekin, October 2S.-Prince Su, who &C., companied the Chinese court in the flight to Tai Yum Flu and afterward returned here disheartened by the anarchy existing among those composing the immediate advisers of the throne gave today an interesting &C., count of his journey.
 "On the first day." said Prince Su, "the court travelled In carts twenty miles north, and was escorted by 5000 soldiers, who pillaged, murdered and committed other outrages along the entire route. The flight was continued at the rate of twenty miles a day to Hsuan Hua Flu, in the most panic stricken manner. So little authority was ex- erted that soldiers even stole the meal pre- pared for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The execution of several mur- derers and pillagers eventually brought them under control"
 The court remained three days at Hsuan Hua Flu, some advisers counselling fur ther stay. They, however, were overruled, owing to the fear of foreign pursuit, and the flight was resumed to Ia Yuen Flu, with 1500 additional troops under General Tung Au Hsiang, who added to the dis cord.
 The Empress Dowager did little else but weep and upbraid her advisers. The Elm peror reviled everybody. The journey oc- cuped twenty-six days, the longest route being taken, owing to fear of pursuit.
 On arriving at Tai Yuen Flu great diff fculty was experienced in forming any semblance of government. Many edicts were ignored, and a state of absolute chaos existed. The Emperor would have pre- to trnS inn DSplf NUi all h,,r he was compelled to join in the flight.

GOVERNORS YAMEN
Destroyed by an Explosion in Canton
 More Trouble

Hong Kong, October @.-A serious ex- plosion occurred in Canton Sunday morn- ing. Four houses near the governors ya- men were destroyed and many persons killed. It is rumored that the scene of the explosion was the reformers arsenal which is full of powder and gun cotton and that the object was to destroy the yamen. The occurrence will probably lead to the persecution of the reformers. It is rumored that the French are preparing to send 1000 troops from Saigo to Canton. This report, together with the presence of numerous French warships, has aroused suspicious among the Chinese about the designs of the French. The reformers now threaten that if the French attempt to seize the city the Cantonese will lay the city in ruins.

BUSINESS SITUATION.
CorrleIspo,ndeuce:


Chicago Correspondence;
The most important development of the
week was the enactment of the new cur
rency law. The passage OF the bill came
at an exceedingly opporfune time for the
security markets. The surplus reserves
Of the New York banks, which stood At
10000, 900 about two months ago, are
now practically wiped out, and but for
the knowledge that relief is mt hand
through the operation OF the new law II
is more than likely anorbcr stock market
panic such AZ occurred last December
would be seen. Ff
Wheat was in good speculative and con-
sumptive demand, and, in consequence,
its price was firm. Europe, after strenu-
Gus endeayors TO live on what IL expect
ed to get from Argentina, discovered
there still remained an aching void which
could be filled only by increased ship
ments from this country. As a result, IT
has been preparing for emergencies by
free purchases of wheat for shipment
during the latter half of this month and
April. Large engagements have been
made for shipments from Chicago and
Duluth and considerable sales were also
made for transit by away of gulf ports.
The demand from lake shippers was not
all for export requirements, but was
largely, and perhaps to greater extent,
for home consumption in the East, where
the warehoused stocks are in diminutive
contrast to the large quantities held at
Chicago and the terminal points of the
Northwest.
The corn market gave indications OF
great strength 1t advanced cents a
bushel Monday, little more Tuesday.
but during the remainder of the week it
underwent the reaction due to a too rapid
advance the first two days. Its future
is still regarded with much confidence by
a majority of the heavier traders. Gov
eminent made the stocks in farmers
hands March / smaller than they were
at a similar time the year previous, with
out any such stocks of cribbed corn in
commercial hands as was the case q
twelvemonth ago. 1t is asserted by those
who believe in higher prices that no such
reserves being in existence this year sup
plies for the remainder of the season are
likely to run short.
The immense and unusual quantities be-
ing fed to cattle in the States of heavi-
est production, matter frequently expa-
tiated upon in former references to the
influences governing the corn market,
is still subject Of daily remark. The only
weak point in the bull argument is that
with all the scarcity OF cribbed corn,
smaller farm stocks and immense guam
titles being fed, enough is coming to hand
not only to fill all other requirements,
but also to add to the visible supply.

Keep the windmill Runuiag.l


ut pays to have the windmill 80 Il
can be thrown in and out Of gear auto
matically. II II Is located any distance
from the house." says a writer In the
Homestead. There are many devices
for doing this, and some of Thorn are
inexpensive. I once saw one that had
an old-fashioned creamery can attach
ed to the wire that put the mill out Of
gear This had very small hole In 1t
so the water would run out OF 1t very
slowly. When this can was empty the
mill would go In gear and pump the
tank full. The Overflow pipe from the
tank would fill the can and the weight
of the water would pull the mill out of
gear. After an hour or so the water
would leak out so the mill would again
go In gear. and thus the business was
kept up all the time. Should but little
water be used the mill would only run
long enough so the overflow would fill
the can and the mill would be thrown
out of gear" =. y -, ~ ~

Now MiIking DEVICE.

Doctors, scientists and agricultural
experts are all very much concerned
at the present time about the contain
ination of milk and the serious conse-
Quences that are apt to result from 1t.
In the up-to-date dairy every effort is
made to keep the milk from being con-
taminated by stable dirt or foreign
matter, which may adhere to the cows
teats or tanks, or which may be float
ing around in the air In the stable.
Among the precautions suggested are
mechanical mixers, but these have not
come into extensive use. although In
one form or another there are Isolated
examples of their use In diaries In diff
ferent parts of the world. The Illus
tration here presented Is suggestion
along this line and represents the idea
of John c. Dulgan, Of Melbourne, Vic
toria. 1t comprises teat cups, with
finger loops for the thumb and finger
arranged longitudinally on opposite
sides, which prevent the mixers hands
from coming in contact with the teats
and thus transferring dirt or disease
germs from one animal to another. The
milk is conducted to the milk pail
through rubber tubes, and, as the pail
Is inclosed. there is no contamination
there, so that, provided the milk is

An unanswerable Argument.

The excess of exports over imports

ley's administration has been: 1897,
$3.50, 2G3, IA; 1898, $615, 431 GIG; 1899,
$529, SLASH.
That the United States sold far more
than a billion dollars worth of prod
ucts more than it bought during this
period. despite the fact that n state of
war existed during the greater part of
it. is an unanswerable argument in IA
vor of the protective tariff: During the
last two years, under wise and care
full Republican administration and an
adequate tariff for the protection of
American industries, the people Of the
United States have sold more goods
abroad than under any three years Of
Democratic administrations
During the past two years the excess
of the sales made by the people Of the
United States in foreign markets over
their purchases in foreign markets,
over one billion Of dollars, has been
greater than in twenty years of Demo
cratic administration.
During the past two years the people
