London, Nov. ia dispatch from
Shanghai dated Nov. IA says:
"a reliable Chinese report says
Prince Tuan and Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang
are in open revolt in the province of
Kansu. M. Bazaure the French con-
sui, says serious disturbances have
already occurred and that anxiety is
felt as to the safety of the Catholic
missions -
Another dispatch from Shanghai is
in direct contradiction of the above.
1t says:
can imperial edict was issued to-
day which deprives Prince Tuan and
Chwang of all rank and: offices and
hands them over to the imperial clan
court. They are to be closely con-
fined While awaiting further punish
ment. Duke Ian is also deprived OF
his rank. In regard to Gov. Tung Flu
Hsiang. the notorious anti-foreigner
who was decently reported to have
committed suicide by swallowing gold
leaf, it is ordered in the edict that he
shall be temporarily handed over to
the clan court for confinement While
awaiting Punishment to the furthest
borders of the empire, where he is to

SECRET OF FRAxcE,s:..sN;Et:iWtiy Gun \.
Capt. I. N. Lewis Obtained the In
formation by Purchase.

formation by Purchase.
Washington, Nov. Is. - Capt. I. N,
Lewis, of the Sixth cavalry, recorder
of ordnance, is the man who, while
abroad last summer incognito, OBJ
tanned by purchase the information
about the new French field gun, over
which so much fuss is being made.
This is now freely admitted at the
war department. and it is stated posi-
lively that no official person in France
helped him. Mystery still shrouds the
name of the man who committed the
indiscretion of publishing the fact that
the plans are i'll the possession of the
war department. and there is. little en-
pectation of ever discovering him. 1t
is learned that Capt. Lewis purchased
the secrets of the nav field gun with
money provided by the ordnance de-
partment for that purpose. The letter,
relating his success and Offering to
build a gun on the French plans, was
addressed to Gen. Burlington, chief of
ordnance. There was only one copy
of it in existence and that is in Gen.
Buffington's desk. He is the only man
who is supposed to have access to it.
Yesterday Gen. Burlington addressed
to Gen. Miles an official denial OF hav
ing beer concerned with the publica-
ton of this letter. 1t was the publica-
tion of this letter that threatened to
cause trouble between Gen. Miles and
Gen. Burlington, which might have
ended in a court martial. but Gen.
ButIington's denial ends this phase of
the affair.

D1sMEMpEnMENT THREATENED.
Germany, Russia and Great britain
break Faith With the United

StutcS.
Washington. Nov. II. Germany.
Russia and Great Britain have broken
faith With the United States in the
International allegiance which pledges
itself to restore order and authority
in China. The car and kaiser espe-
cially have violated the conditions eN-
acted 10y this government in the joint
circular Of July 3, While Great Britain
has been passive if not tolerant third
party to the cruel aggressions and
bloodthirsty expeditions which have
been carried on under Count Won Wal
dersee's command. Owing to the
dragooning of innocent natives, in
GLIDING women and children. by Ger
man and Russian troops in China. the
Eastern question once more FORCES
forward as a subject of anxiety and
threatening international relations.
Russia has broken faith with this gov
erHment by failing to withdraw its
troops from China. While the United
States troops have all been Withdrawn
to a man, with the exception of the
Pekin legation guard, the Russian
troops are all encamped near Tien-
tsin. and none of the allies have made
good their pledge to recall their troops.
In fact Russia and Germany have
made elaborate preparations for a
continuous campaign, and SO far as
the reports of their military opera
lions received here reveal the situa-
ton, there is no sign Of an armistice
or cessation Of hostilities. Prominent
state department officials here do not
hesitate to express the fear that Ger
many and Russia are endeavoring to
provoke an uprising among the China
men, and in that manner precipitate
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. While Russia and
the German emperor in public does
and international correspondence pro-
fess the utmost zeal in bringing Chi
ncse affairs to q peaceful elimination,
their armies are killing natives apu
committing outrages against the Chi
nese beside which the Pekin sirege and
horror pale into insienificance.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE statistics of
The foreign trade of the United States
for October, which We're published yes
terday by The Trade, make a phe-
nomenal showing ana one that is most
important in it's bearings upon the
commercial and monetary situations.
The value of the exports for the month
was $163,093OOO, which is $S7 ,027, 900
larger than for the sam; month of
last year, and exceeds the previous
high record by $2S,936O 900 More than
one-third of the total exports We're of
cotton. The value of that staple ex-
ported during october was S60.00O,O00.
Or more than twice the value of last
years shipments. The detailed state
1nent indicates that the exports of
manufactured goods for the month
were about s5S,0OO,O0O in value.
While Exports Increased
enormously imports fell off slightly as
compared with last year, the decrease
being approximately $1,6l4.O00. The ex-
cess of exports over imports for the
month was $92,475,OOO, the largest in
any month i'll the history of the coun-
try. The figures for October make the
excess Of exports over imports for the
ten months ending Oct. 81 approxi-
mately $50o,OOO,OOO an increase of S129,-
$4,000 over the corresponding period
OF last year. Against this amount this
country has to pay for a comparative
ly large amount of securities sold here
by foreign holders since the beginning
of the year, considerable sums for
ocean freight charges and the inter
est and dividends on q constantly di-
minishing volume of American securi-
ties held abroad. 1t is plain from the
action Of the foreign exchange market
that a deduction has been made for
the above and similar items, that there
is still q large amount Of money due
this country by Europe.
