great farmers convention which is to be
held at the A. and M. College on that day,

partment of the State and the State Mus

Manchurian Question.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, July 1S.-The Foreign
Office states that the Manchurian question
has not yet reached a stage justifying a
formal statement at this time. 1t points
out that the pourparlers are continuing.
that the ports to be opened have not been
selected nor the details arranged.
Nothing has yet appeared in any Rus
sian paper on either of these questions.
At first glance the above dispatch APP
pears to contradict the official announce
ment made in Washington Thursday OF
the receipt of Chinas promise to open
several ports in Manchuria to the worlds
trade and Russia's formal assurance of
her assent. This, however, is not the
case. The Washington dispatch did rot
say that the negotiations had been con-
Guided or that the ports had been speci-
fed.
1T is gathered" said the dispatch
from the communications received lat
Washington that they fthe ports to be
opened) are Moulkden and Ta-Tung-Kao.'

To the Editor:-I am spending a short

and well cooked by old man Rufus Jones
who so long fed the guests at the Var

this beautiful spot, and all come to have
good time. The park around the spring
has been greatly extended by cutting out
ulderbrush and greatly improved by new
seats, swings, hammocks and all that goes
for outdoor comfort; and it is all offered
freely to people from near and far as
well as to the guests oI the little hotel
and nearby cottages.

On A STEAMER
A Furious Storm Bursts Over
the Section Around Phil
adelphia.
tBy the Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, July ia storm of I'M
usual severity visited this section tonight
and considerable damage resulted, especial
" in the suburbs of this city and farm
ing districts The wind attained yeloc-
ity of forty-four miles an hour. One ia
tally has been reported thus far, Edward
Bricker, six-year old boy, of Huntington,
Pa, was drowned in the swollen waters
of small rivulet, which flows through
the town.
Navigation of the Delaware River below
this city was difficult and dangerous, and
panic occurred on the excursion steamer
Thomas Clyde. The boat, which carried
nearly one thousand people, attempted to
effect landing at Woodland Beach, but
was prevented by the high wind and rough
water. One of the side wheels caught up
a floating log. The noise of the log revolv-
ing around the paddle box frightened the
excursionists. They rushed to one side
and the steamer listed so badly that her
main deck was awash.
Scores of women tainted and great ex-
element prevailed. Boats were lowered
by the crew and they were quickly filed
with the panicstricken excursionists. Re-
lieved of its burden the boat righted it
self.
The passengers were prevailed upon to
return to the boat and they were brought
safely back to their home towns. The
steamer was sent to Camden tonight for
repairs.
The storm was particularly heavy in the
coal regions. All of the small streams in
the Schuykill Valley are greatly swollen
and at Pottsville rain has fallen contin-
uously twenty-four hours. At Mahanoy
City the st. Nicholas and Maple Hill col
hepies were rendered useless by the high
waters. The tracks of the Schuykill Trac-
ton Company at Gilberton washed out
At Reading nearly e inches of rain fell.
The water was nearly knee deep in some
of the streets.

HOW RUSSIA REGARDS IT.
The Petition to the Czar---Jsws TO be Expelled
From Certain Localities.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
st. Petersburg, July 1S.-The Foreign
Office authorizes the Associated Press cor
respondent to say that the reason for its
refusal to accept the Kishineff petition
was the unalterable objection of the Rus
sian government to outside interference
in the internal affairs of the empire, and
that, even had the petition been acceptable
as a diplomatic document Russia would
have regarded the publication of the text
before transmission as unusual. The For
eign Office says it is willing to regard the
incident as closed and adds that Russia
continues to cherish American friendship.
The police commissaTy of the Kishineff
district has transmitted to the police com
missaries in his jurisdiction the following
circular:
GAS a result of the disturbances at
Kishineff April 10 and 20 and in conse-
quences, also. of the alarming reports in
circulation and the possibility of fresh
disorders, many Jewish families left Kish-
ineff and settled in villages of the district
contrary to the law of May, 1892 Conse-
quently, with a view to avoiding the very
results to which this might
lead, herewith instruct eommissaries to
take vigorous measures for the expulsion
of such Jews from localities where they
have no right to live. I think it my duty
to add that if commissaries fail to carry
out these instructions / will deem myself
obliged to inform the governor thereof"
