The Chinese plenipotentiaries refused to comply with the demand. Thereupon the Japanese government from Tokin communicated with the southern vice roys and induced them to use their in fluence with the empress dowager against the treaty.
 In the meantime the empress dow ager instructed Ii Hung Chang to com municate the treaty after certain mod;- ncations to the ministers Of the powers. and if they should not object, to sign the same Ii Hung Chang visited Lessar and explained to him the iI- strUctionS.
 The Russian minister strongly ob- ieCted to revealing the text of th,- treaty to the ministers of the othei. powers and a stormy interview ensued. Ii Hung Chang went home in a violent passion and had heInorrhaEe. which the doctors attribute to over-exertion of his weakened system

very much improved. The report that

DROWNED IN OIL AND WATER
A Well-known Oil Well Pumper
Found Dead in the OIL Fields
Near Marion, Ind.

Marion, Ind, Sept. 2.-Henry Pin
gree, aged 2s years, an oil-well pump
er, was found dead, Sunday, lying
with his head submerged in oil and
water by the side of large tank, in
the oil fields south of the city. AT
first it was thought that his death
was due to foul play. 1t is now be-
lieved, however, that he died from
strangulation. The theory advanced
is that he fell from the tank to the
ground and was knocked insensible.
His dead body lay face downward in
the channel of oil around the tank,
and he was probably drowned. The
coroner will investigate.
