NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Bills Discussed by the House Com

The House Committee on Public Build
ing and Grounds yesterday in executive
session discussed for nearly an hour the
question of providing buildings for the
city Of Washington. Three bills We're
considered by the committee, one prOvid-

use of the United States and the District
of Columbia. one authorizing the purchase
of the old Corcoran Art Gallery. for the
use of the Court of Claims. and another
providing for the purchase of site and
erection thereon, of building for the
United States Supreme Court.

among the committee as to the necessity

PRINCE TUAN
REMOVED FROM OFFICE

Washington, Oct. 2.-The Chinese
minister has received official confirma-
ton of the issuance of an imperial de-
cree degrading Prince TLan. kangi
and other officials for their course in
regard to the recent troubles in China.
This information agrees with that
contained in n dispatch received by the
State Department from Consul Nc
Wade at Canton.
The minister has heard nothing of
the selection of officials designated by
Minister CGnger to act in concert in
peace negotiations, but he has no doubt
it is correct
Several important dispatches We're
received to-day from China. Generally
they tend to confirm the events record
ed Saturday. From Canton, Consul
McWade reports the issuance of the
decree Furnishing Tuan and his col
leagues, SO that there is no longer
doubt as to the accuracy of Sheng's
statement on that point. Mr.. Conger
also has received official notification
of the Chinese peace commission,
which was forecasted by Minister
Wu's advices several days ago. Mr..
Conger made no reference to the con-
demnatory decree, hence 1t is inferred
that 1t was not issued when his dis
patch was sent last Thursday. The
COnger message says:
Have received notice to-day from
Prince Ching that he Earl Ii. Yung Lu
and Viceroys Kun vi and Chang Chip
Tung will act in concert in negotia-
tions for peace. Yung Lu is in the in-
terror. Ii Hung Chang is at Tien
Tsin."
The appointment of Yung Lu is not
likely to be satisfactory to any other
of the powers, as Yung Lu has made
himself as offensive as Prince Tuan.
He is generalissimo of the imperial
troops and Is regarded as mainly re-
sponsible for the persistent fight on the
legations during the crisis. The other
commissioners are highly acceptable.
Chaffee reports he is moving with
rapidity toward the execution of the
departments orders relative to the
withdrawal Of his troops.

Although the labor leaders positively

ranks of the anthracite coal strikers,
they We're nevertheless pleased to learn
that the ten per cent. advance granted
by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
and Iron company in the Schuylkill
valley was totally ignored by the
striking mine workers to-day. 1t WAS
predicted that many of the strikers
would return to work under the belief
that the ten per cent. increase would
be the limit of the operators cOnces-
sions. and the unanimity Of the men In
deciding to stand ont for further
advance caused much surprise.

1T is OF no offense against the United

stances shown in the evidence were
sufficient to charge them with such

The decision quotes from Hawkins
as follows:
"In an Indictment nothing material

proposition that an Indictment for

The duel in Italy has been very
deadly OF late. 1t is estimated that
during the past year 2.400 duels were
fought in the kingdom. which yielded
crop OF 4S0 deaths. The Chinese way
OF getting even is more civilized on
the whole. The enraged inhabtant OF
the celestial empire is as likely as
not to commit suicide on his enemy's
doorstep, in order to do him as great
an injury as possible. And a suicide
under those circumstances in China
really does throw the foe into a ter
rible funk, owing to the supposed
bad luck such an incident brings to
