SINKING OF THE BELLE ISLE,

Fire, ns Reported.

London, May 20.-Replying in the
house Of commons, yesterday to o
question on the subject of Saturdays
naval experiment, when the British
first class battleship Majestic fired
upon and sank the Goast defense iron
clad Belle Isle, near Portsmouth, in
nine minutes, the FIRST lord of the adj
miralty, Geo. j. Goschen, said, TO the
extreme surprise Of the naval men,
the Belle Isle did not take fire. She was
reported 20 have been in flames six
minutes after the firing commenced.
He explained that the spectators, be-
ing at distance from the war ship
were misled by volumes OF steam and
lyddite smoke. Mr. Goschen added that
there was a slight smoudering in one
cabin Of the Belle Isle, but that other
wise the woodwork, although shat
tered in every direction, was not con-
sumed by fire to any degree.
The experiment was Instituted spe-
cally TO see whether the woodwork
of the Belle Isle would burn as the
woodwork of the Spanish ships de.
stroyed by the Americans had burned.

ton prayed for by the Chinese resi-
dents of this city restraining the board
of health authorities from interier
ing with the free movements OF the
Mongolian residents Of San Francisco
and their freedom in travelling TO and
from this city. The complaint of the
Chinese stated that, in enforcing the
terms Of a resolution adopted by the
board of health declaring that plague
existed in this city, they were re-
strained of their liberties granted
them under the constitution OF the
United States and the existing treaties
bewecn the government of the United
States and the Chinese governments
that the authorities Disseminated
against the Mongolian race in singing
out the Chinese and japanese for the
enforcement Of the terms OF the reso'
luton; that hafkin prophylactie was
not the proper treatment for persons
already exposed to the plague, ana
that neither the board OF health nor
the federal authorities had proven
that single case of plague existed in
this city or state. The court sus'
tanned every contention in the com

Kansas City. Mo-, May 20.-A Star
special from Falls City, Neb., says:
The passengers on the sleeping car
of train No. /, of the Missouri Pa
cifc, which left Kansas City Sunday
night at 9:25, were held up and
robbed between here and Stella by a
lone highwayman. 1t is thought that
he either boarded the train here or at
the Harrington & Missouri crossing
at Verdon, nine miles north. After
the train left Verdon he entered the
sleeper, and compelled the porter, at
the point of a revolver, to precede and
aid him. He had to work fast, as the
train was making up time, and he
only had from ten to fifteen min
utes before the train should slack up
a mile east of Stella. There he
jumped off, keeping the passengers
back at the point of his revolver, and
escaped. There were not many pas
sengers in the sleeper, and he did not
get much. Among those he encoun-
tered were Travelling Auditor S. G.
Sprague, whom he relieved of his
watch and pocketbook, and Missouri
Pacific Attorney ], w. Orr, who was
compelled to give up his watch, pocket
book and passes.
A. j. Frederick, Kansas City trav-
cling salesman, resisted the robbers
demand to surrender his yaluables, and

let graled Fredcrick's head, and was
