THE CHINESE PROTOCOL.
Delay I'm Signing Causes Some Un-
easiness-Li Hung Chang In
DfsfavOr.

Peking. Aug. 24.-The delay of the
Chinese plenipotentiaries in signing
the protocol is causing some uneasi-
ness in the foreign community here, al
though the ministers of the powers do
not think that the Chinese intend to
defy the powers by ultimately refusing
to sign. Indeed, they believe China is
anxious to wind up the negotiations
speedily. DEGREES reciting the punish
ments and suspending the eXamina-
tions vii! be issued before the Chinese
signatures are affixed. Prince Ching,
at the request of the empress dowager,
telegraphed to her verbatim the re-
strictions as to the importation of
arms. Ii Hung Chang, having practi-
cal!y conducted all the active negotia-
tions, has retired into the background,
leaving to Prince Ching the response
bility of consummating the work. Earl
Ii finds himself in the same precarious
position that he occupied at the close
of the negotiations following the war
with Japan. The native press is unan-
imous in violently denouncing him for
what is called his surrender to the for
eigners, and number of officials have
petitioned the emperor to punish him
for betraying his country.

TRADE TIDE TURNS.
Every Indication Seems to Point to
Enlarged business mt Bct-
ter Prices.

New York, Aug. A,-Bradstreet's says:
evidence multiplies that the tide of trade
has turned, and that II is now setting
strongly in the direction of an enlarged
business at steady or higher prices. Crop
Improvement particularly in the central
west and the Mississippi valley, has been
the handspring of the more cheerful tone
of advices and enlarged fall trade opera
tions at such cities as Chicago, st. Louis
and Kansas City. Even from the so-called
drought-stricken corn belt some advices
of quite satisfactory business, in some
Instances reports being of a larger jobbing
trade than in the corresponding period a
year ago.
Prices. except for some irregularity in
the cereals, have been generally quite
steady. Wheat was weak early on in
creased supplies afoat, enlarged receipts
at the northwest and technical market
conditions favoring decline, but strength
ened later on continued poor crop reports
from abroad, fairly large clearances, al
though not equal to last week and general
care In present or better prices being main
tained. Corn has sympathized largely
with wheat though weakening on its own
account on better crop advces from the
states east of the Mississippi, where timely
rains have fallen. Net changes for the
week are slight. Some hog products. par
ticularly lard, have sympathized with the
strength of corn"
r. G. Dun &s Co., in their Weekly Review
VI
Though there are some drawba cks.
notably the labor troubles in the iron and
steel Industry, business is of well-sustained
volume, TO which fact payments through
the country's clearing houses, railroad
earnings and the strength of prices of
staple and partly manufactured merchan-
disc offer ample testimony The Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Plate Workers succeeded in enlisting the
sympathy of other workmen with the re-
suit that the output of merchant bar and
wire rods is curtaled to the extent of
about 1000 tons monthly. Beyond this de-
fection, wage earners In allied branches of
the steel industry have refused to break
their contracts. Many idle mills resumed
curing the past week, and even in the tin
plate region there is a moderate output.
Plates have begun to arrive from abroad.
and prices in the London market sharply
advanced. Hoop and sheet mills increase
production daily, and there is no loss in
the rail- division, but some anxiety is felt
regarding supplies of cotton ties as the
picking season has begun in many states
decreased consumption tends to weaken
pig iron, and tin is similarly affected.

UNEARTH CONSPIRACY.
Treasury Omcin1s Discover p1ot at.
NognIes, Arizona, for Admft-
tnncc of Chinese.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Probably the
most important arrests ever made in
connection with the smuggling of Chi
nese across the Mexican border into
the United States were made Friday
in Arizona when William NJ. Hoey, col.
lector of customs at Nogales; b. F.
Jossey, an immigrant inspector;
Frank How, a Chinaman living in
Nogales, and another Chinaman living
at Clifton, Mexico, just across the bor-
der from Nogales, were taken into cus-
tody by special agents of the treasury
and secret service operatives. Other
arrests are expected to follow within
a day or two.
1t is stated that with two or three
exceptions the whole customs and inn
migration administrations at Nogales,
are involved. Some time ago an Of
fetal of the treasury department hav-
ing Nogales as his headquarters wrote
the department that he had reason to.
believe the official force at that point
was corrupt, and that Chinese in large
numbers were being smuggled across
the border for consideration. A se--
cret service operative was sent there
at once and plans laid to secure evil
dence against the persons under sus--
picon.
Several Cinnamon we're furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This.
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50 to-
5000. The secret service men also ar

into the collectors Office at certain
time and demand share of the money
beng received from Cinnamon and to
be admitted Into the combination, so.
that they might get their share of the
proceeds of future deals. This was re-
luctantly agreed 10 and considerable
sums of money were handed over in
the presence and full hearing of Sc
cret service man who had previously
secreted himself in nearby office
closet. The officials soon found that
Cinnamon who presented a certificate
marked with the letter were allowed
to proceed without question. while
those having certificates that did not
bear this cabalistic mark were turned
back without ceremony.
Later on it was developed that the
letter \ on certificate indicated that
the amount demanded had been paid.
Several Cinnamon were sent through
with the requisite \ mark on their cer-
tificates made by one of the secret
service men. The utmost care and se-
crecy was maintained from the first to
secure positive proof against each man
under suspicion. A special United
States attorney will be detailed to-
prosecute the persons arrested.
Hoey was appointed collector about a
year and half ago.
The number of Cinnamon who have
bought their way into the United
States through the connivance of the
Nogales officials is not known. but it
is believed to be large. A special agent
has been ordered TO Nogales TO take
charge of the office if he finds it nee
essary.

Murderer to Board to
Hang Him.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.-Chares W.
Nordstrom was hanged Friday morn
ing for the murder, November 81, 1891.
of William Mason. Nordstrom had
fought for his life in the courts and
for nine years STAYED off execution.
From early morning the condemned
man seem to fully realize his position.
and while ministers and members of
the Salvation Army prayed with him
he wept continually. Shortly after
$3.50 Nordstrom was brought from the
room in which he had been, just ad-
joining the execution room. 1t re-
quired the assistance of four men to
keep him on his feet. When he was
taken into the presence of the scaffold
he broke down entirely, crying in a
childish voice, and praying that his life
be spared to him. He collapsed entire
ly and fell to the floor.
Efforts TO raise him and keep him on
his feet were fruitless and al last Sher-
iff Cudihee ordered that board be
brought. To this Nordstrom was tied.
While being fastened to the board
Nordstrom continued to cry in a loud
voice. Several times he seemed to
speak, but his words were unintelligi-
Bile. The six men who had held him
raised his body on the board and with
great effort succeeded in getting him
onto the fatal trap. Here he was stood
upright, four men standing on the
four sides of the trap and holding him.
In less than two seconds after the con-
demned man was in place the trap was
sprung and Nordstrom paid the penal
ty of his crime.
The trap was sprung at 9:49 and
Nordstrom was pronounced dead at

WILL HAVE MORE TROOPS.
Thousand Soldiers and Num-
bcr VIII he Increased.

Manila, Aug. 26.-In the city of
Manila there are now less than 1000
effective soldiers, and it has been de-
cided to increase this number by
four companies of infantry.
The official reason for the increase
is that the guard duty is too heavy
for the present force. AS n matter
of fact, however, there is n feeling
that, though there is no apparent
prospect of trouble, nevertheless in
the event of an uprising in the fu-
ture such as is always possible
among the Malays, it would be better
to have n sufficient body of troops
available for such an emergency.
Gen. Chaffee says he considers the
city of Manila to be perfectly orderly
and he can see no prospect of an
uprising.

STORMS WILD WORK.
Wind and Flood Cause Great Damage
to Property in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.


New York, Aug. 26.-The country

New Jersey and from eastern Con-
necticut to Mauch Chunk, Pa, was del
uged with cloudburst whipped with
high winds and cut and torn with rush.
ing rivers and cataracts of water from
leaden clouds which obscured the
whole sky.
The rain fell in torrents, with only
two brief intervals when the clouds
seemed to pause to refresh themselves.
Every street car and railroad line in
this whole district was hampered, and
in some places traffic was entirely sus-
pended for the night.
Thousands of dollars of damage was
done to property. Trees and buildings
in Jersey City and Hoboken were
blown down. Houses were undermined
by water, and only remarkable good
fortune prevented great loss of life.
New York city escaped the worst OF
the storm. Across on the Jersey shore
the high wind swept down the bay,
snatching all the vessels except the big
ocean liners from their moorings.
In Jersey City the steeple of ST.
Mary's Roman Catholic church crashed
through the roof of the building. The
Biiou theater was partly wrecked and
panic was caused by the report tina t
several lions Gagged there had escaped.
Two other churches and the Union
League club suffered damage.
Hoboken felt the full force of the
Il -

lean engine house chimney blown
down. Fifty or more huge trees in
the parks were uprooted.
Near Union H;ll. under the palisades,
a house was demolished by the cat
aract and the family narrowly escaped
with their lives.
Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-Reports re-
ceived in this city state that the heavy
rains which have fallen almost inces-
sanity during the last week through
out the state have resulted in the most
disastrous food experienced in many
years. At Mauch Chunk the storm was
attended by four fatalities. Jesse
Struthers, of Mauch Chunk. and three
boys, named McClaffery. Mckinley and
Johnson. were standing on a bridge
spanning Mauch Chunk creek when The
supports collapsed and the four were
precipitated into the water and
drowned. The stream had become a
raging torrent by the bursting of
dam 4 half mile above the borough
line.
The Mauch Chunk creek is Is feet
above its normal mark. and the towns
in Carbon county along its course have
suffered much damage. Bridges, cul-
verts and arches are destroyed and
the loss to the borough and to the prop
erty holders will be many thousands Of
dollars. Business is at a standstill.
At Wilke sbarre a landslide occurred
