PEK1N, April S.-The rumors which
have been current during the past few
days OF the outbreak Of a rebellion, head
ed by Gen. Tung Fuh Sian the former
commander of the Northern army in
the provinces Of Mongolia and Shan 81,
nave been absolutely authenticated.
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching have
received information on the subject,
which, though indefinite, still proves that
the court is seriously alarmed.

accounts, about $50 miles from the court.

about the same number Of soldiers at
Sian Flu, but it is probable that the
troops Of Tung Flu Sian are better driii-
ed and better armed.
1t is believed that the Mongolian re.
bellion was brought about through
agents of Prince Tuan and Gen. Tung
Fuh Sian. Ii Hung Chang thinks there
are about 5000 regular troops in Mon
golia, and inclines to the belief that they
have not Joined in the rebellion He does
not think the court is IN any danger.
and thinks the object of FRINGE Tuan

Gen. Tung Fuh Sian is to create diver

Prince Ching, who, as relative. may
be considered to take the court view or
the situation, thinks the rebellion is a
storm in a teacup. He says the present
court is loved and esteemed by nine
tenths of the population of China, and
that the same proportion Of able-bodfeo

existing dynasty. The empress dowa ger,

acquired had not been the basis upon
which they have determined the amount
of stock to be issued therefor.
The fact that the expected consumma-
tion of the deal caused the market value
of the stock to rise, and which was used
as an argument that the proposed pur-
chase would not be advantageous to the
stockholders Justice Dixon finds to be
without weight He says that if the in
trinsic value of the stock was only 60
per cent of it's face value, and an out
slider offered so per cent in money for ad-
ditional stock to be issued, such an offer
would clearly be advantageous to the
company and it's stockholders, but it
could not be legally accepted, because
the legislature has required that 100 per
cent, whether in cash or property, shall
be received for corporate stock.
The court finds that the mere fact that
two-thirdS of the directors and stock
holders voted for the purchase cannot
prevent it's review, pointing out that this
would not justify issue of stock for
an illegitimate enterprise.
In accordance with these views the
court orders that the stay be continued,
enjoining the purchase, and that pro-
ceedings to increase the stock should
likewise remain in statu quo pending
final arguments and a decision by the
court of chancery as to the real value of
the Guggenheim property.

WILL STIMULATE RESEARCH.
Dr. Koeh's Theories on TubercuIosir VIII Spur Scientists on to Deeper
 investigation.

Dr. William J. Coates, of the New York American Veterinary college, thinks that the views recently ex pressed by Dr. Koch on tuberculosis will result in increased research re- garding the disease, and that the task of determining whether tubercular bacilli in animals can, be transmitted to man should be taken up at once by the Rockefeller institute for research. In an interview he said:
 ''I am of the opinion that tuber- culosis is transmitted from animals to man. Statistics in medical and other libraries, think, will reveal specific cases in which tuberculosis was con and other animals. It is transmissible through milk and meat. Dr. Koch is an eminent authority on tuberculosis. Still, the assertions which he has re- gently made on the subject can be proved, in my judgment, to be wrong. Microscopical examination reveals no differences in the appearance of bovine and human tubercular bacilli. Bac- least, most of them cannot tell which are tubercular bacilli from animals and from human bacillus of each looks like the other. And the general symptoms of animals which have been inoculated with tubercular bacili of animals and of human beings have been the same, ac- cording to all reports on such experi- ments that have seen."

PAsTIMEs OF TURKISH WOMEN
Their Principal Pleasure Is to Be Rowed Up and Down the
 Rivers in Caiques.

In comparison with their European sisters Turkish ladies have a very poor time; in fact, they practically have no amusements at all. In the summer, however, they manage to get considerable pleasure by going to the Sweet Waters of Europe and Asia ofl Fridays and Sundays.
 All through the fine weather, says the London Chronicle, these two riv- CTS are crowded with hundreds of boats and caiques of all descriptions, full of Turkish women, who are rowed up and down. Unfortunately, the graceful caique IS dying out and being replaced by the nnore useful boat. A caique has many disadvan- tages, the chief of which is that it requires special boatman to row it, and he will never do any other work. As most Turkish households are be- coming poorer, and, therefore, more economical, they abandon caiques and keep boats, which are rowed by a man who will do gardening or any other odd job.
 Nevertheless, enough caiques re- main to make the scene a very pictur- esque one. Every now and then one will flash past, rowed by one, two or three men in brilliant white cos tunes, relieved by zouave jackets, embroidered in gold and silver, on a groundwork of silk or satin. In the stern will be seated two ladies fault lessly attired in Turkish dress, with very thin yashmak. Their outer dress does not allow of much variety in color, so they are forced to put all their inventive genius into their para sols, and the collection of parasols is the most varied and brilliant to be seen anywhere. No Turkish woman will be without one, which she all ways keeps, even after sunset.
 The best caiques have over the long after-deck a carpet or piece of em- broidery which trails in the water on both sides. This is seldom seen now: in fact, there are only two regularly attending Sweet Waters which keep up this custom. One belongs to Turkish lady whose boatmen's uni forms are blue and silver, and the embroidery matches them; the other is the khedive's mother, whose colors are gold and crimson, and the em- broidery consists of a pattern made up of crowns and fishes.
 Of course there are hundreds of boats. full of men, and many f1irta- tions are carried on throughout the summer. The firtations carried on are very mild, and consist chiefly in the lady lifting her veil and showing her face for a moment Now and then few words are exchanged, but that is dangerous, and can only be done when the boatmen are all in the secret

FARMS IN ARIZONA.
Census Bureau Issues Some Interest ing Statistics Regarding
 the Same.

According to bulletin issued by the census bureau the other day there are 5,S09 farms in Arizona with a total acreage of 1885, 1927 acres, of which 254,52 are improved. Of these farms 1,769 are owned by Indians. Tn 1890 there were only 1O4,12S acres of inn proved land in the territory. In 1890 the average size of farms was BIO acres, and in 1900, 46S acres. The total value of the farm land with improve ments and live stock is placed at $29, ,906,875. The increase in farm wealth for the decade amounted to 162 per cent. Of the total number there are q farms of more than 1000 acres and 814 of less than three acres. About half of the latter class belong to Indians. Of the total investment in farms over half, or $15,458,717, was in live stock. The number of cattle is placed at SO7, ,454, and of sheep at 668,- 45S. The report shows that of the total area of the territory little more than one-third of one per cent. is inn proved. During the last decade 545 miles of irrigation ditches were con structed at cost of $1 ,508, ,469.
 The prediction is made that ulti- mately much larger area will be brought under cultivation by these ditches than now. The principal crop is alfalfa, of which 62,585 acres were grown in 1899. There also were sev- eral thousand acres of fruits and nuts.

 The Methodists of New York city are endeauoring to stamp out the evil of gambling which, it is said, the pas tors find so prevalent among their wealthy members. Resolutions in support of the movement were unani- mously adopted.
 Father O'Neill, pastor of St. Fran. cis' church, San Francisco, is acknowl- edged to be one of the best rife shots on the Pacific coast. He has frequent ly refused to enter contests, saying ''it is poor business for a priest" Father O'Neill is also great lover of and expert on thoroughbred dogs.
 Joseph Fritz, of Byron, Mich, is president of the Epworth league there, and is also bartender in his fathers saloon. He is only 19 years old, and considers himself subject to his fathers orders, so the ministers of the town advised him to remain in his po- sition until he attains his majority.
 The British and Foreign Bible Soci- et'ys annual report states the years is- sues at 4,914,000, reduction of 133, ,000. This, however, is due wholly to the Chinese crisis. The falling off there is 250,000, so there is considerable gain in other fields. Foreign sales in 27 countries, through SIP colporteurs, were 1,6OO,000.

coNGREssMEN's DARING FEAT
Members of Party from Washington Ride White Horse Rapids in
 Alaska During Trip.

A thrilling ride was taken down the White Horse rapids by half the mem bers of the rivers and harbors congress siona1 committee during their recent Alaskan visit. The trip was made in a barge, manned by sl1illful pilots, with the American flag flying at the mast head.
 Scores have been drowned in shoot ing these rapids and half of the con gressional party refused to make the trip. Half dozen women of the party insisted on taking the hazard and the party was finally made up of the more adventurous. Four oars, used as sweeps, handled by prospectors, guid- ed the craft until the swirling waters carried it well within the entrance of the canyon. The swift waters took the craft in tow and it sped through the canyon.
 Those who did not make the trip watched from High bluff the perilous voyage until the barge shot safely out of the lower end of the canyon and into still water.

THE FATE OF HAWAII
Politicians and Statesmen Are Much
 Interested in It.
Natives Want Statehood or Annexa- tion to Ca1ffornia-Others Think Territorial Government Is
 Good Enough.

While Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii, fs urging that the archipelago (now territory be admitted to the union as state. the recommendation is heard in some quarters that the is- lands be annexed to California. The Honolulu Sunday Volcano, for exam pie, says:
 ''The Volcano, in advocating the an- nexation of Hawaii to California, does so with the most patriotic mo- tives. The Hawaii of to-day is carry ing all of its eggs to market in one basket. We are raising two products sugar and children. The contract labor laws having been abolished, children are hardly q commodity of commerce. Hawaii under present conditions to be prosperous must have stable market for its sugar. The market for Hawaiian sugar is Amer ica. Under the Downes decision of the United States supreme court con- gress has the power to levy duty on any or all goods shipped from. a ter ritory of the United States. Now we do not believe that congress will ever place duty upon Hawaiian sugar. But, believing this, would it not be presumptuous to say that congress never will do it? There is no telling what an Hawaiian legislature or an American congress will do.
 ''Is it not best to be safe in this matter? Haven't the people of Ha- waii had enough dearly purchased ex- perience in assessment sugar stocks
 
 government. By becoming a part of California, Hawaii would be forever free from tax on it's sugar. What a strong argument this is for annex ation to the Golden State!"
 The semi-official Philadelphia Press, however, expresses its belief that
