though there is still possibility that

announced their intention of returning

GREAT FLOODS IN CHINA.
Thousands of Lives Lost Along the Yanstse
Riyer-Rice Crop Ruined.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Under date
of Shanghai, July 25, Consul-GeneraI
Goodnow reports to the State Depart
ment that the most disastrous floods
are prevailing in the valley of the
Yangtse River. He understands that
they are the worst known by Euro
peans in that valley. All the towns
in the neighborhood of Wuhu and
Kiukiang are, to large extent, under
water. The farms, especially in the
rice-growing region about Wuhu, are
so completely flooded that there is no
hope for the crop this year. In ad-
dition to this, thousands of lives have
been lost, and unknown numbers rem
.dered homeless by the overflow The
stoppage of trade is very serious. The
destruction of the crops in the fields,
and particularly the probable loss of
the rice crops in the district of Wuhu.
the great rice-producing center, will
add famine to the other difficulties be-
setting the empire.

at Buffalo.

Buffalo, Sept 9.-Through quiet,
peaceful Sunday every word that came
from the big vine-ciad house In Della
ware avenue, in which the stricken
Chief Magistrate of the Nation lies
battling for life, was reassuring and
tonight the chances of his recovery
are SO greatly improved that ali of
those who have kept the patient vigil
at his bedside feel strongly that his
lite will be spared.
The developments of last night and
today were dreaded, but hour after
hour passed and the distinguished pa
tient. struggling there beneath the
watchful eyes of physicians and train
ed nurses, showed no unfayorable
signs. Five times during the day
the doctors and surgeons assembled
for consultation, and each time the
verdict was unanimous that what
change had occurred was for the bet
ter.
Not the slightest premonitory symp-
tom of peritonitis appeared and the
fresh hope, born with the morning,
grew stronger and stronger as the
day advanced, until, toward evening,
the confidence expressed in the Presi-
dents recovery seemed almost toe
sanguine.

CAPTURED BY BRiGANDs.
kidnapping Of an American Woman in Mace.
donia is Confirmed.


Washington, Sept. 9.-The State
Department has received information
from the United States legation at
Constantinople confirming the press
report of the capture of an American
missionary by brigands. The dis
patch from Minister Leishmann re-
ports that brigands captured Miss
Stone, an American missionary, who
was travelling with a woman compan-
ion, in the yilayet of Salonica. The
department adds that the matter has
received the immediate and earnest
attention of Minister Leishmann.
Boston, Sept. 9.-The American
Board of Foreign Missions has re-
ceived a cable message from Rev. j.
H. House, one of the missionaries at
Salonica, in Macedonia, saying:
"Brigands took Miss Stone and
companion between Bansko and
Djoumania."
These places are situated about 100
miles northeast of Salonica in a coun-
try long familiar to the missionaries
of the American Board. Miss Ellen
H. Stone is one of the tried mission
aries of the American Board, having
been in this mission since 1878. Mis-
sionaries now in Boston from Bull
garia are confident that no illtreat
ment will be given the ladies, but
think it is simply case in which ran
som is sought for by the robbers.
Constantinople, Sept. 9.-The Sui
tan. Immediately upon hearing of the
abduction of Miss Stone and her com
panion, peremptorily ordered the Val
| of Salonica to secure their release
and to exercise every care for theil
comfort and safety.
