advices were received by the steamer
Olympia which has reached here from Yo-
kohama. somewhat serious disturbance
took place at KUre. About seven hundred
blue Jackets from men of war in the harbor
invaded three inns smashed all the furn-
iture and were with difficulty reduced TO
order after nearly three hours rioting. The
alleged cause is that the men were en-
ragged because the innkeepers had opposed
the attendance of geishas at the entertain

The latest about the Kwang-Si trouble
related to the appointment of Wang Chih
Chung as Governor of the province Wang
whom the world knows as the amba ssador

have assured the Empress dowager that a
majority of the Kwang-Si rebels are hu-
name, and that II he were mtrusted with
the duty of quelling them he could easily
bring them TO listen TO reason. The En-
press took him at his word and appointed
him TO the governorship. The Empress
dowager is said to have recently expressed
radical dissent from the boxer propaganda
ard anti-foreign command. Her Majesty
said the instigator of the boxer outbreak
was Yum Men and that Princes Tuan and
Chuan encouraged it. Replying to a minis
ter who urged that ever since the flight OF
JOenOl IN lcbb, the Imperial mouse mad SUI
fered only insults at the hands OF foreign
ers and that TO treat them with considera-
ton was a great mistake. the Empress
dowager severely condemned such a doc
trine. Only a small span OF life remained
to her, she said and during that time il
was her determination not to involve her
country in trouble for sake of saving per-
sOnal wrongs.
Because the magistrate Of Yang -Hsien
would not give them permission TO destroy
the Christian churches in that town. some
1000 boxers attacked the village They
were met by the troops and twenty OF them
were killed and their bodies displayed in
public places. One of the leaders who was
captured was tortured and executed IN
public.
The converts of Shan-Si and their priests
complained that the indemnity paid on ac-
count of the boxer outrages was not great
enough and the converts have attacked
villages for the purpose of indemnifyng
themselves.
Details were received OF the attack on
Bishop Moores, the Revs. Appenzeller and
Swearer and the Misses Moore and Melvin
by japanese coolies in Korea. The coolies
who were carrying Bishop Noore's rick
shaw stopped to talk with a friend and
the bishop lost his temper and rapped the
coolies over the knuckles, whereupon the
coolies called out and a lot of Japanese
camped in the vicinity. rushed the mis-
sionaries and stoned them. Bishop Moore

leaders were arrested and sentenced 10 two

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 31.-Serious
trouble has developed on the Msyflower

Cured among the crew. A member of the
crew said to-day that not less than sew
enty men on board the ship were awaiting
a favorable opportunity after pay day to

marily the trouble seems to revolve around
the executive officer of the ship, Lieut.. w.
W. Phelps, who, the men assert. is over
bearing and tyrannical. Ordinary priv
ileges, II is alleged, have been curtailed
seriously; the men on watch eight
hours and off four. and when on watch are
kept hustling all the time; smoking is pro-
hibited and shore leave is difficult to OBJ
tain. The men are proud 10 be aboard the
Presidents official vessel. but they declare
they cannot endure the racking discipline
forced upon them, not, they say. by the
lieutenant commander, Albert CleaVes, in
command. but Lieutenant Phelps.

agree to this. and at the same time build

soon got beyond control OF the peace

beaten by some one in the crowd Mr..
Daugherty said. because he was carrying

BRYAN ON CLEVELAND.

The following letter written by ex-
President Cleveland to a Mississippi
editor, appeared in the press dispatch
es few days ago:
Princeton, Feb. 26, 19O2.-F. M.
Runnels, Editor Star.-My Dear Sir:
desire to thank you for sending me a
recent editorial from your paper, and
for the pleasant letter accompanying
it. I would not be frank If I failed to
express my qualification with the evil
dence the editorial furnishes that my
acknowledgements in the south are be-
ginning to know me better and to I'M
derstand that the course I have felt
constrained to pursue under the man
date of true democracy is not tainted
with disloyalty to party obligations.
| can truly say, however, that this
qualification is as nothing compared
with the Joy of believing that the time
is fast approaching when our grand
old party will shake off the dreadful
dreams that have afflicted it, and fight
again, as of old, the glorious battles of
pure Democracy.
My prayer Is that I may live to see
those happy days.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The letter is interesting, first, be-
cause of the gleeful tone which per-
vades 1T. The venerable ex -president
tears that some of his countrymen have
been looking at him through "a glass
darkly'' and he is happy in the belief
that they are beginning to discern a
halo where they once saw only a finan-
cial ring. 1t is interesting to know that
during his intimate ASSOCIATION with the
enemies of the Democratic party he
has cherished the delusion that he is
the sole and only embodiment of "true
democracy" But more entertaining
still is Mr., Oleveland's prediction that
''the time is fast approaching when our
grand old party will shake off the
dreadful dreams which have afflicted
it, and fight again, as of old, the glori-
GUS battles of pure democracy"
This is certainly roseate prospect,
but the Sage of Princeton is as usual
long on language and snort on lucidity.
To understand what he considers
dreadful dreams" and what he regards
as ''pure democracy" we must recall
his last administration For four years
he stood between the people and re-
form; for four years he made the White
House the rendezvous of cunning and
crafty representatives of predatory
wealth; for four years the corporations
and syndicates controlled his admins
tration and forced him to veto Demo
cratic measures and sign Republican
measures. He refused to give his sane
ton to the most important measure
supported by the Democrats, and bent
all his energies toward securing legis-
Iation desired by Republicans, even
when he knew that he would divide |
