Joseph Pulitzer, Proprietor of the
 New York World.

New York, Oct. 19.-Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York World, died of heart failure today on board his yacht Liberty in the harbor of Charles ton. s. C., after an illness of two days. The news was received here in a tele- gram from his secretary.
 Mr. Pulitzer, accompanied by his younger son, Herbert, left New York aboard his yacht Oct. 20, intending to take Q leasurely voyage to JeSy Is land. near Brunswick, Ga., where he had a winter home.
 Aside from heavy cold, MT. Pulit- ger was in his usual health when he left this city. He was taken i'll on Fri day and the yacht put into Charleston. His illness proving to be serious. tel egram was sent to his wife, who left NewY ork for Charleston yesterday and arrived shortly before he died. The body will be brought to New York to- morrow, when funeral arrangements will be made.
 For more than quarter of 8 century Joseph Pulitzer had been one of the leading figures in American journal ism. Born in Hungary in 1847 and edu- cated there, he came to this country in 1863. enlisted in the Union army and served as a cavalryman until the end of the year. After the war he settled in St Louis, which was for years to be the scene of his journalistic activities.
 
 reporter, and he was afterwards city editor managing editor and part pro- prietor of the Westliche Poste, edited by Garl Schurz. He bought the St. Louis Dispatch in 1878 and united it with the Post, as the Post Dispatch, and under his management that paper became in a few years one of the best known and most widely read in that section of the United States.
 MT. Pultizer's entry into New York journalism occurred in 1883. when he bought the World, then a paper of small circulation. Its circulation and prestige grew rapidly, and under his general direction it has continued it's great influence. A building to house it which he erected in 1890 on Park Row was, until overtopped by the skyscrap- CTS of later years, one of the most striking Of New Yorks office buildings
 Mir. Pulitzer's sight began to fail him in the late eighties. and after a. time he became totally blind. From then on he was a partial invalid. but up to the last he kept up general supervision over his newspaper properties here ana in St. Louis and took pronounced in- terest in civic affairs. Much of his wealth has been given for educational purposes. He donated $1,00o, 900 to Co., lumbia college to establish and nain- tain college of journalism, and estab- isheJ scholarships in that institution for deserving boy graduates of New York public schools.
 During his residence in Missouri, MT Pulitzer served as a meinberr of tho legislature, and was a delegate from that state to the democratic national convention in 1880. He was elected to the Forty ninth congress from a New York district, but resigned after a few months of service.

 Loan Scheme Dangerous.
 The loan scheme whereby China hopes to raise many million dollars through a Belgian and French syndi- cate, is considered dangerous in some quarters. The national assembly is likely to oppose it fiercely, while for eign assistance for the government is likely to arouse among the rebels an ant1-foreign feeling, which up to the present has been absent. A substan- tial advance on the loan within a fort night has been arranged.
 Another Town Joins Revolution,
 A message from Hankow reports an artillery duel between the rebels and the Chinese gunDoa ts. The town of Tai-Tuen-Fu in Shan-Si provinece is reported to have joined the revolution. Previous messages from that place said rising was expected and that a run on the banks was under way,

The govern ment's estimate of the rebels casual ties III the Hankow battle is 5000.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-In other respects than mere number of ships and power of armament, the great naval review to be held at New York promises to surpass any naval pageant ever seen in this country.

Through Rapids
 In Motor Boat
CAPTAIN LARSEN's LAST MAG
 ARA ADVENTURE.
ESCAPES WITHOUT AsCRATCH
Duplicates Feat of Last Year, but Will
 Not Try It Asain-Expects to Make Trip Across. Atlantic in Same Boat.

Niagara Falls, N. Y., Oct. 29.-Cap- tain Klaus Larsen of Detroit made his second trip on the Niagara river from the cataract to Lewiston, in a motor boat. today, completing the six miles of stormy water in 25 minutes, and coming through without a scratch. But he is through with Niagara adventures.
 "Never Again." He Says.
 "No more for mine he said. as he stepped out Of the boat at Lewiston, "The trip today was worse than last year. The water was above normal and the wind very troublesome. There wasn't minute that I wasn't working else try. But next year I will make a trip across the Atlantic in the Niagara. Any boat that can take me through the rapids and the whirlpool can take me to Europe
 Larsen started from the Canadian Maid of the Mist dock at 150 o'clock and swept under the lower steel arch bridge five minutes later. Coming in to the swift drift, where the river breaks from the calm upper reach to the rapids, he veered towards the Ca nadian side. The boat was behaving perfectly. She rode the smaller waves without tremor.
 A Trying Minute.
 But, caught by the fierce current about midway of the rapids, she was hurled up and almost clear of the mountains of water, to be lost to view in the spume as she came careening down into the trough of the waves. Once the craft was almost keeled over by a comber. But she righted and went out. The rapids trip took hardly more than a minute. But it was a minute that tried the strong nerve and sineW of the man.
 Almost Drawn Into Vortex
 The watchers were fearful that the engine had been put out of commission in the tuTnbling waters, but as the Mi agara entered the whirlpool it was seen that the engine was working perfectly. In the trip. last year Larsen's engine failed him in the pool and from that point on man and craft were play things of the river Larsen kept to- wards the American side of the pool, but he was caught in 8 cross current and was almost drawn into the vortex. Only the hardest kind of work with the tiller prevented trouble.
 Five Miles in Nineteen Minutes.
 Once clear of the whirlpool and in Quieter water, Larsen brought the boat about and headed her upstream, so that he might get a chance to put things shipshape before the final test in the Devils Hole Rapids. As he worked, Larsen footed a greeting to the watchers and shouted that all was well. He was badly delayed in the low CTS, but managed to hold a course close to the Canadian side, and. at 2.14 o'clock he passed under the Suspension bridge at Lewiston. He hade made the five miles between the bridges in nineteen minutes.
 Larsen is the second man who has ever naNigated the rapids and the pool in an engine driven craft.

Chinese Officials Seek Protection of FOreie
 Soldiers For Wives and Children
ATTACK AGAINST THRONE FEARED
Massacre by the Manchus Likely to Follow Such De- velopment-Race Feeling Becoming Intensifed-Im- peral Victory Reported at Hankow-Two Ameri- Wounded-Rebel Losses Placed at 5000.

PekinS. Oct. 29-The situation in Pe- king Is becoming worse. A veritab1e Panlc prevails among the Manchus, and the ALanchu women are adopting the Chinese dress. Some of them arc attempting 10 make thair feet appear small by peculiarly constructed shoes. inc trains that are leaving the cap ltal are for the most part drawn by two engines, so heavily are they toad ed, and the people are sitting on top of their household belongings. Off, clals are seeking asylum for their wives and children, among the foreign CTS.
 Flee to Foreign Soldiers for Protection
 Prior to the revolution the news papers frequently cried out against the presence of foreign soldiers but the natives are now fleeing to them for shelter. One report fixes tomorrow night for an outbreak, but the pres ence of 15,0G0 Manchu troops against 5000 Chinese insures the safety of the capital for the present.
 The Throne in Danger.
 The only danger seems to be from q sudden attack against the throne or against the officials which might pre- cipitate the threatened massacre by the Manchus. Race feeling is becoming intensified.
 Prices of Provisions Rising.
 The price of provisions is still ris- ing and a large number of foreigners are entering the legation quarters. The legation guards are preparing for en- ergencies The Americans have sand- bags piled on the corner wall, which is now under G strong guard. Pic turesque movements of the Manchu troops through the city gates occur silently after Ilightfall to prevent ex- citement among the population.
 Many Rumors AfIoat.
 Runlors are current that the emperor has been spirited away and that Prince Ching, who is too old for flight, has committed suicide. There ar Q many such stories. They may or may not be true. The American legation has is- sued orders that the women and chill dren living along the Pel1ing- Hanhow railway and also in the country to the west of the line must proceed as sooa as possible to the coast.
 An American Wounded. The American consul general at lIankow, Roger $. Greene, reports that an American, A. H. Kepler, has been wounded in the fighting around the city. Consular reports from Nam king are pessimistic. The new troops fear an attack by the old troops and are clamoring for ammunition which the viceroy refuses to give them. They were ordered to leave the city, but de- clined. The viceroy of Frank Si has chartered the British steamer Fetching,
