Tho Malay. of Cape Town.

In Cape Town, South Africa. the
Malays own q great deal Of real es-
tate and have q practical monopoly
OF the cab and laundry business. A
Malay wedding 10 exceedingly pic
turesque, and the Europeans often
seek an invitation. The bride invart-
ably wears white satin. profusely
trimmed with silver tinsel. and the
guests appear in gorgeous attire of
richest satin and silk. The priest
wears wide white trousers and gaily
embroidered coat. with flowing
cloak of silk or satin of brilliant hue.
The wedding feast is ? superb affair.
with cuisine reserved for bridal oc-
casions. AS the Malay is permitted
to have four wives. weddings are not
of rare occurrence. From wedding
feasts to cemetery is far cry, but
the Malay cemetery is really as in
teresting in its way. At the head of
the newly-made grave are seen the
cakes and meats for the spirit of the
dead to eat, and also for the ghosts
that visit Elm when night falls.

We are glad that even during the

pentance, at the time Of the session

not take anything back Of what we

sufficiently smart to hide the fact
that he is Wolcott emissary. He

jority for Bryan and Sewall in 1896

even if Mr.. Wolcott is making the

OF all the promises made to the
negro during the thirty>6ve years
which he has been voting the re
publican ticket, none have been
kept and he has exchanged all his
loyalty and votes tor few petty
janitorships. The black man can
never expect anything from the
republican party. Mark Hanna and
his minions are not concerned over
what the black III IN wants, but only
how he shall vote. The same old
list Of promises will go out again to
the colored voters of the country,
but nothing will come OF it In
quite a number of states, where the
black man has had advantages he
has rebelled against republican
ownership of his vote and has Civ
en- it out that he shall vote the
democratic ticket. He is wise il
he shall stick to that resolution,
because il in thirty-hve years he
can not size up the quality OF re-
publican promises there is little
hope for him and he will go ahead
forever. or SO long as the republics
an party is the dominant party in
accepting janitorships in exchange
for his vote.

HANDLES PADDLE.
Cleveland Indian Claims to BE the
Worlds Best Canoeist.

Worlds Best Csnoeist.
Without doubt the most expert ca
noeists in the world are those of the
Chippewa tribe of Indians who dwell
in the country adjacent to and north
of Sault Ste. Marie. Mich. Only the
marvellous skill of the Eskimo of the
northern seas can be compared to the
dexterity Of the Chippewa voyageurs.
Both peoples, the Eskimo and the In
dians of western Ontario, are bred as
much to the water as to the land, and
with each the use of the paddle has
become second nature. In like man
ner the Apache Indians of the western
plains are brought up on horseback.
SO to speak, and become the most per-
feet riders to be found anywhere. One
of the Chippewas, descendant of the
illustrious Chief Showwano, formerly
OF Sault Ste. Marie, has been for many
years resident of Cleveland. and de-
clares himself to be the champion ca
noeist of the world. He rests the val
1dity of his claim upon the character
OF his performances with the canoe
and paddle, and he is ready and will
ling to meet any and all contestants
for the aforesaid worlds champion
ship. Baymosing Onaquad, or Flying
Cloud, as rendered in English, was SO
named because he was SO swift of foot.
His tribal name Is equally appropri-
ate to the winged fight of his canoe,
as 1t is guided like darting arrow
through the rushing rapids OF the
most turbulent rivers. Flying Cloud,
who ia knnUr in hyyo LCrc
lish name, resides on well known
residence street. 1t is his wish that
the English name by which he is
known in Cleveland be not given to
this connection on account of family
and business reasons. The tribesmen
are equally adept in ascending or de-
scending the swift water of the st.
Mary's rapids and the latter accom-
plishment is called running or shoot
ing the rapids. No effort is made to
Withstand the force of the current on
the part of the canoemen. One is sta
toned in the bow and another in the
stern. With deft strokes Of the paddle
the fragile bark is guided and steadied
upon its perilous course, the channel
being well known throughout, and
length at the st. Marys Falls.
A false stroke OF the paddle would
cause not only the immediate destruc-
ton Of the canoe, but the drowning OF
the boatman in the raging waters.
Many passengers are carried through
the rapids in this way with the In
dian pilots. There is 30 seldom an ac-
cident that summer tourists and 9TH
ers, who chance to be sojourning at
the Sault, find the making of this trip
a novel. exhilarating and not dan
gerous pastime.

GOES ASHORE.
o. s. Transport Mcpherson Sticks
Fast on the Rocks.

New York, Aug. THE Atlas steamer
Alene, Captain Long, which arrived to-
day from West India ports. reports the
United States army transport McPher-
son from Santiago for New York, ashore
at Fortune island. From what could be
learned on board the Alene it appears
the Mcpherson was proceeding at full
speed on the End instant and more
than two miles out cf her course, when
she went ashore. In order to tighten her,
the troops she carried, consisting of over
400 men Of the Fifth infantry, were land
ed on the island. A considerable quanti-
ty of stores were also transferred to the
shore. Kedge anchors were put over
board. The steamer then attempted to
back off into deep water but without
success. The Alene made fast to the
transport and hauled steadily for six
hours, but failed to float her.
Gable reports from Nassau state that
the transport was foated on the 5th un-
injured and proceeded.

strike today because the steamship

several days ago, when Patterson. RAM

$50 by the StevedoreS' union for employing
non-union men. This fine the firm refused
to pay and the stevedores claim that the
other steamship agents united with the
firm in question to employ non-uniOn
men and break up the union This morn
ing the leaders of the union presented to
the agents an agreement binding them to
employ union men exclusively. which the
agents unanimously declined to sign The
strike was then ordered and promptly
obeEed.

CHINESE JUMBLE.
Number and Variety of Conflicting
Reports Unabated.

New York. Aug. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There is the usual tumble of menaces
and surmises from China, with no off,
cial bulletins about the battle of Pei
Tsang on Sunday, and no apparent
change in the situation. The Chinese
camarilla with the empress dowager at
its head, is doing everything in its
power to prevent an advance of the al
lied army on Pekin- Heads are falling
in order to convince the powers that
the legations have no friends and are
al the mercy of the empress dowager
and of Prince Tuan. The troops are
massed between Tien Tsin and the cap
ital, and are strongly intrenched in
order to warn the foreign commanders
that they win be forced to fight their
way into the city.
The communications of the ministers
with their governments are closed be-
cause the empress doWager prefers to
leave the civilized world utterly in the
dark. Such reports as are allowed to
pass out to the coast are menaces, like
the rumOr that Tung Flu Slang has
stopped the further entrance of supplies
into the British legation, or confessions
of terrorism, like the story that Prince
Iuan has put to death Yuan Shih Kai
and other VicerOyS, or glittering prom
ises, like the reiterated assurance that
the legations are under the escort of
strong force and are journeying to the
coast.
All these rumors are signs that the
empress dowager is determined to keep
the allies out of Pekin. Her motive is
plain She is convinced that if they
once enter the capital some of them
viii not go out until provinces have
been ceded to them in place of indemni-
ties.
The situation is so perplexing that it
IS not strange that several powers are
