~ DISAGREABLE IMPRESSION.
The imperial edict promulgated yes
tcrday by Niceroy TAX. at Canton, has
left a disagreeable impression here.
Despite the Chinese Minister'S view to
the contrary. this edict Is looked upon
as suspiciously like a preliminary to a
formal declaration of war. and as only
onc step toward securing time to move
Chinese forces into better position for
defense against the internationais.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF THE
CREW OF THE oYMRIC.
DEADLY CHLORINE GAS.
When Nineteen Hours out From 0ueens-
town Fire Was Discovered in tho For
ward Hold, which Ragged for Thirty
six Hours-Heat Poured Out From the
Hold.

New York (SpeciaD The White
Star liner Cymrlc, which has arrived
here, had terrible experience while
crossing the Atlantic. At noon on
Sunday, August 3, when the big ves-
sci was nineteen hours out from
Queenstown, fire was discovered among
the cargo in the forward hold, and 1t
ragged thirty-six hours, until midnight
on Monday when 1t was reported to
be under control. Hold No. |, where
the fire is believed to have originated,
had been flooded for the purpose of
checking the flames. The water leaked
through into other compartments aft
causing damage to the general mer-
chandise stored there. The boat, how
ever was not seriously injured.
The loss on the cargo was so heavy
that Agent John Lee, of the White
Star Line, notified the consignees of
the cargo that they would be expected
to pay their pro rata share of the loss.
Captain Lindsay, of the Cymrlc, told
the experience of the men on the YES
sci In fighting the fire. In addition 10
the ordinary danger of such work, the
fire could not be located, and deadly
chlorine gas, which poured out of
the matches, made it impossible for
the men to remain long at work.
The officer of the vessel headed the
men, and man after man was lifted un-
conscious from the hold time and time
again.
The captain was carried out four
times, and once it appeared as though
breathing had stopped.
In the hold were hogsheads e
bleaching powder and soda ash. Tie
heat and fire caused chlorine gas to
generate, and this poured out at ter
rife rate. As soon as the hatch was
thrown off the upper deck on Sunday,
Captain Lindsay and some of the men
who were investigating the source of
the fire were overcome and had to be
lifted to the upper deck. DR.. w. ].
Fleetwood, the ships surgeon, was
called on. and he was kept busy re-
viving them. So many were overcome
that he was compelled to summon a
physician who was a passenger to his
assistance. The men as they were

The fire was not declared out until
Monday night, and after the men had
been at work a day and a half. 1t was
not until the flames had been extin-
guished that the exact location was de-
termined. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the spontaneous COM

persons were instantly killed and
eleven others, several of whom will
die were seriously injured in a grade
crossing accident three miles east of
this city, by passenger train on the
Lehigh and New England Railroad
crashing into an omnibus containing
twenty-five persons. All the dead and
Injured were in the omnibus, and but
three escaped uninjured.
The accident occurred about 5 o'clock.
The omnibus, driven by man named
Peters. was returning to Slatington
from a funeral the occupants had
been attending at Cherrysville. The
coach belonged to Henry Bittner of
Slatington, and the dead and injured
were nearly all relatives of Sophia
Schoeffer, at whose obsequies they
had been present. The train was a
special, and consisted of an engine and
one car.
At the point at which the collision
occurred there Is a sharp curve in the
road, and the omnibus came along mt a
good rate of speed, the occupants un-
conscious of any impending danger.
AS the bus swung around the curve
the engine and car came in sight. II
was too late to stop either the omni-
bus or the train, and as the driver of
the former whipped up the four horses
to cross the track ahead of the train
the latter crashed into its middle.

eleven dead were killed outright. Ply

GOLD UNDER RICHMOND.
Quantities of Ore-Bearing sand Discov-
cred by Workmen.

Richmond Va. (SpeciaD Gold, pure
and unmistakable, in seeming good
quantity, has been discovered in one
of the bitches in the excavation now
being made at Fifteenth and Main
streets for the erection of the Seaboard
Air Line depot. Its presence was first
noted when about fourteen feet below
the surface pure, clear water, black
sand and round gravel were found.
These conditions at once suggested
gold to G. A. Lyell, superintendent of
the work, who has spent several years
of his life among the gold mines of the
Pacific Coast. He made investigation
and discovered that the sand was filed
with shining gold, and occasionally n
flake was found. Mr.. Lyell does not
claim to be an expert, but says he is
quite certain gold has been discovered.
Others who have visited the spot
and examined the sand are of the same
opinion. The sand will be analysed,
but it is not probable the presence of
the gold will interfere with the erec-
tion of the depot.
