The present disturbance, All account OF

papy's decision to move tEeir plant.
About % weaveis went ont on strike

A GRUEsoME DISCOVERY.
City Councilman Find White Baby
on Ash Pile at Crematory.

A sensational incident took place at
the city crematory about / l.30 O'Clock
yesterday morning William j. johnson,
who was recently elected to the seat in
Council of Jonathan Groves, deceased.
has taken the latter's pace on the crema-
tory committee, and yesterday morning
made his first visit to the crematory in
company with George A. Willis, chair
man OF the committee, and William p
Morrison, clerk of Council.
After the plant had been inspected,
Mr.. Willis led the party to the place
where ashes are dumped and there made
startling discovery.
Laying among the ashes he found
what was apparently the remains of a
still born child. The others in the party
gathered about him and one suggested
that the coroner had better be notified.
Mr.. Willis, however, stopped down
and after turning the body over said: II
see no necessity TO send for the coroner,
we can pass on little matter like this
There seems to be nothing suspicious ex
cept that if the child would have lived
it would have been crippled, as it sc ems
to have but one leg. Let us bury it,
The others agreed with him and a
quantity of ashes was hurriedly placed
over il.
The affair leaked out and created much
excitement in that section OF the city
and finally number of citizens visited
the ash pile and exhumed the supposed
corpse and to their disgust found it to be
china baby.

June II. 1t establishes clearly the fact
that the American minister and prob
ably the other legatiOners We're alive on
July 4, though in sore straits.
Therefore it completely and finally dis
poses of the first stories that were pub

the massacre on July q, two days later

This dispatch, he said, tended strongly

situation since the 18th had changed de-
cidedly for the better. he said, as regard
ed the strength of the imperial govern
nlent in Peking. There was every reason
TO believe, now that the imperial authori-
ties had got the upper hand of the reyolu-
tionists in the capital, that they both
could and would protect foreigners and
safely deliver them into the hands of the
allies.

in view of Ii Hung Chang's statement
