Negro Predicted Disaster.

That coming fatalities cast their
shadows before" is now said to be. the
case in the Galveston catastrophe.
Two months ago an old negro preacher,
living in Galveston, had three dreams
upon three consecutive nights to the
effect that Galveston was being
destroyed by tidal wave.
He told his friends about the first
dream and the second, and with the
coming Of the third he began to preach
among the colored people to leave the
island, as we'll as advising the whites
to do so. Every one laughed at him,
and, finally. in sheer dispair, the old
negro took his departure for Houston
with his few household effects.
stating that he was going to leave the
island. even if no one else did.
He has not been heard of since he
arrived in Houston, some four weeks
ago, but parties who remembered the
incident are looking for the old negro
now, considering him an important
parsonage.

Where Was Moses When the Lights Went
Out?

The boarders and guests of the Riv-
erview Hotel were treated to "a sur
prise Tuesday night. 1t was IA night
when the hotel was full of people-a
night when the proprietor was wearing
a Bryan smile and thinking of the
happy days OF free silver, free baths,
frve lights and free Filipinos-a
gay-ia-day. The night was dark

es to ret in their work
All was happy IN the hotel. The
enterprising drummer was there copy
Ing his orders. The festive railroad
man was there figuring up his income
and his outgO. The man who wanted
to be clean and nice was in the bath
tub. The literary man was diving
down in Dickens novels, the author
was writing the tenth chapter in his
history of the Philippine Islands. and
the hotel was like Il hive of busy bees
all happy, all contented. when all
of sudden, without warning to the
happy multitude the lights went out
and the water ceased to pour in the
bath tub. The hotel was in total
darkness. All was confusion. The
were color blind. The white
patrons and the colored servants look
ed alike, if they didn's smell alike.
All this turmoil, this trouble. this
confusion and surprise was brought
on by a difference Of figuring between
the hotel people and the Water Works
& Electric Light Company. Mr.. Can
non, manager of the Water and Light
Company claims that the hotel owes
him over one thousand dollars for
water and light and Mr.. Dunlop says
the hotel owes no such sum.

main in darkness unless coal oil !

CONGER AGAINST RETIRING.
The American Minister Opposes With.
drawaI From Pekin

Although no official announcement
has been made as to the contents OF
the last COnger MESA ge, it has become
understood that it advised against
the withdrawal of troops at this time
from the Chinese capital. 1t has rails
ed Il serious question in the minds of
the president and his advisers as to
the best course to pursue. 1t has
long been known that Gen. Cha flee
advised in favor of the withdrawal of
the troops and that this government
was disposed to take such action. If
it shall prove true that Mr. Conger
has taken Numerically opposite
view from that of the head of our mill
itary forces, the result will probably
be an indefinite delay.
The object of retaining the troops
in the Chinese capital is to have a
sufficient show of force on the ground
until Ii Hung Chang. Prince Ching
and Gung Lu are assembled there,
and begin their work of negOtia-
ton with the Representatives of the
powers. While the President is de-
termined not to allow this country to
become involved in any of the foreign
quarrels or foreign complications
which may grow out of the Chinese
situation he does not wish to act arbi-
trarily in Withdrawing our troops
and thus possibly embarrassing the
otner foreign powers who have forces
on Chinese soil.
We have an advantage over every
other nation-with the exception pos
sibly of Japan-in that there is a mil
itary base at Manila, to which we can
remove our troops on comparatively
short notice and place them in COM
Portable winter quarters. Supplies,
which had been intended for the use
of Gen. Chaffee during the winter in
China, have been forwarded to
Manila, and can be made use CT
there.
1t is not expected that Ii Hung
Chang will reach Pekin for at least
ten days, as the journey from Shan
ghai will take about week.
No one can foretell at this time the
eventual drift of affairs in China.
The Developments of day or an hour
may alter the entire situation and so
change the outlook that the United
States will be forced to immediate ac-
ton, either in the way of permanently
from China or in serving
notice on the powers that in whatever
way they become involved. the United
States will expect, in the final settle
ment. to see its interests considered |
and properly protected. The situa-
ton seems to be well in hand so far
rs the suppression of disorder in the
empire is concerned.
