hung CHANG 4 PRISONER
No Confirmation OF the Report That
He L. Held bN the AdmirnIs.

London. Aug. 29-That the mex
plicable delay in forwarding kilograms
from the Chinese capital still contin-
ues is illustrated by the fact that the
latest dispach from Pekin, the tele-
gram of a special correspondent de-
scribing the search for Boxers" in the
Imperial park is dated nc later than
Aug. 81
There is no confirmation from any
source of the report of an advance
northward from Pekin On the con-
trary. movement southwark to clear
the country and to insure free COM
munication with Taku is apparently
in progress. The powers, as late as
Aug 2l were still unable to agree as
to how to deal with Pekin itself, the
Japanese and Russians being at vari-
ance as to whether the imperial pal
aces should be destroyed.
Nor is there any further news Of the
alleged detention of Ii Hung Chang
by the admirals. Probabilities increase
that all the members of the imperial
household have gotten safely to the
interior. The report regarding Ii Hung
Chang was given out at Paris yester-
day, and was as follows.
Admiral Courreiolles, the French
commander in Chinese waters, has
cabled to the navy department here
that council of admirals has notified
the foreign legations at Pekin that it
has been decided to hold Ii Hung
Chang on board ship until the opening
of negotiations between the powers
and China"

were riddled with shells, burned or

Apparently the Chinese did not have

The Siecle's report of a defeat suf-

where discredited.

THE LATE KING HUMBERT'S PLEA.

Assnssinntcd Ruler Contemplated
Giving Up Rome To Hierarchy.
London, Aug. 2S.-"As the result of
the outcry against the declaration Of
The Osservatore Romano" says the
Rome correspondent of The Daily EX-
press, that the late King Humbert
had nediated giving up Rome to
hierarchy, the clerical papers have
been instructed to publish statement
giving confirmation and details.
According to this account, King
Humbert. some months before his
death, wrote to Cardinal Giuseppe
Frisco, archbishop OF Naples, request
ing that a Trustworthy priest be sent
to hear his confession. A priest was
sent, but absOlutiOn was refused unless
Humbert would agree to abdicate and
give up Rome. The king asked time
to consider, as he was anxious to re
ceive the sacrament, and, according
to the clerical version, it was this
communication to the priest that in
duced the Holy See to grant Christian
burial

Frisco will be published. A circular

Great Iron Ccnters.
New York, Aug 25.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade says: The
sky is not cloudless, but there has been
no backward movement this week.
Crop advices continue as cheerful as at
any time lately, and the labor situation
shows no important change in working
forces. Prices are steady, but there is
talk of a decline, perhaps $40 per ton
in steel rails shortly to a basis at which
it is believed the railroads will be will
ing to place orders for the ensuing
years supplies.
More good news comes from the
great iron centers where bridge and
boat builders and makers of agricul-
tural implements. stoves and cast iron
pipe are all eager to secure raw or
partially finished material Prices are
sustained and in a few cases move up
ward.
Factories are still working only part
time in the eastern boot and shoe dis
trict and 1t is evident that the esti-
mates of accumulated stock were much
too small
There is more activity in the hide
market and prices are sustained by
strong foreign quotations, activity in
Chicago by California tanners and gov
ernment purchases for harness.
Failures for the week were III in the
United States, against 1G3 last year.

SHOOTING OF A MESSENGER BOY

BuSy-NcErO'S skull Ernctureu.
New York, Aug. PA number of
incipient race riots broke out here
yesterday, the direct cause being the
shooting on Saturday night OF John
Brennan a white messenger boy, aged
20, by John Davis, alias "LamplighteT, -
a negro Brennan was one of crowd
of whites who taunted Davis, and bull
lets from the blacks revolver lodged
in his stomach and chest. He is in a
hospital and likely to die. The shoot
ing was done on SiXty-secOnd street,
and becoming noised about the rough
white element began to search out
negroes. Before daybreak yesterday
morning James Arnold, colOred, while
passing Sixty-fourth street and Am
sterdam avenue, was attacked by a
crowd of whites and badly beaten. He
was treated at the hospital Shortly
afterwards. about two blocks away, the
gang dOled out a similar experience
to Alexander Ballentine, a cOlOred man,
who was passing quietly along. In
neither case were arrests made.
At $50 o'clock in the morning a
crowd of whites, Confessedly led by
Frank McPyke, "A years old, went to a
five story tenement on SiXtieth street
occupied by negroes, with the avoWed
purpose of cleaning it out. They had
about demolished all the windows and
incidentally cracked a head or two
when the police arrived. McPyke and
another man was arrested.
At 1.30 O'clock in the afternoon Jo-
seph Doyle, IS years old, filled his hat
with stones and took his stand at
Fifty-ninth street and Eleventh ave-
nue. lie succeeded in inflicting scalp
wounds on two cOlored men before a
policeman clubbed and arrested him.
Officer John j. Clearey placed under
arrest for being sassy" William Hop
son, colored man. He rashly under
took to take his prisoner to the station
through West SiXtieth street. That
street, between West End and Amster-
dam avenues, is called Cuckoo Row"
and here colored people live by the
hundred. The fact that one of their
race was in the hands of policeman
was all that several Of them wanted.
and half a dozen Of them thought they
would release HCpsOn. Clearey used
his club and then drew his revolver.
BY threatening TO shoot the first man
to move he held the mob at bay until
other policemen came TO his aid. They
arrested George Meyer, also colored,
who Clearey said started the attempted
rescue Meyer resisted arrest all the
way to the station, and when he got
there he had several scalp wounds.
One in particular was very large. and
it is thought the negros skull was
fractured
William ana Henry Rapp, brothers,
and white, were arrested and locked
up last evening on complaint of Adam
Johnson, colored, who claimed they
had stoned him.
The above are only a few of the as
saults which came to light by arrests.
The fact is that all day long the police
IN the neighborhood mentioned were
kept busy dispensing small mobs bent
on mischief. The consequence is that
the force is unusually alert, and pre-
pared to cope with any serious trouble
should il break out.

and which will bring him down into pos

of one of the most remarkable men the

The pope does not like to sit for his
portrait, and, therefore,, when Sir Ben
iamin applied for permission to paint
him, it was at first refused; however,
when the artist described the magnl-
tude Of the work, n it's Importance, his
holiness gave his permission and the
painting went rapidly forward.

they run hither n thither through the
vast sanctuary. At last there is a con-
certed movement toward the altar of
confession under the large DOME. Then
all fall on their knees, men and women,
and repeat their chaplets.
This murmur of prayer is soon lost
in the noise Of the multitude which
presses forward seeking to be near the
passage through which the holy father
will pass. The basilica is now ed with
a compact crowd. All are thrilled with
expectant emotion.
"All eyes are directed toward the
chapel through which the pope will en-
ter. Another lot of tardy arrivals
princes and ambassadors, accompanied
by their secret chamberlains and a few
grand dames-make their way to the
tribunes reserved for them.
Finally the door of the chapel opens,
and there is GREATNESS silence. The
Swiss guards are seen to range them
selves in their places; the officers Of the
Noble Guard draw their swords and
suddenly, in a golden penumbra, a vague
form appears above their heads in the
distance.
