streets became lower torrents as the
waters poured in rivers down the up

the force of the water. and windows
were no protection against the furious
food.

day morning from Sebastopol an
nounced that squadron Of battle
ships, the Tri Siatitelia, Sinope and
Rost.slav, with a cruiser and several
torpedo boats, only started for Odessa

This explains the non-appearance OF
the squadron at Odessa, but it is diff

critical a juncture.
ONE NEGRO WILL RECOVER.
After the prisoners had been tied to
the fence posts, the mob lined up and
fired five volleys into their bodies. All

DISPLAYING SHARP RESENTMENT
They Urge That Coolies should Not
Be Kept O"t of Hawaii, Where They
Do Not Compete With American
Labor, While Chinese immigration
Has Long Been Established in the
Philippines.

Pekin, By Cable.-The question OF
Chinese exclusion from the United
States continues chiefly to occupy the
attention of the Chinese. The extent
and depth OF the feeling manifested
astonish foreigners and is regarded as
an evidence OF the growth OF a nation
al sentiment Of public spirit which five
years ago would have been inconceiv-
able.
The chief obstacle is the question OF
exclusion OF coolies from Hawaii and
the Philippines. 1t is urged that there
is no reasonable objection to the land
ing of coolies in Hawaii, where they
do not compete with American labor,
while Chinese immigration has long
been established in the Philippines.
These points the Chinese regard as es-
sential, but it is thought unlikely that
they will be conceded by the Ameri-
\can government, hence the apparent
deadlock. With view of facilitating
settlement. China proposed to send
special mission to Washington, but
American Minister Rockhill declined
to entertain the idea.
In the meantime the boycott Of
American goods from the United States
continues and the alti-American cam
paign is increasing in vigor. The Am
erican minister has applied to the
Board Of Foreign Affairs to check
the movement and Viceroy Yuan. OF
Chill province, has issued proclama-
ton on the subject, but its efficiency
