AFLACE WHERE TIMEISK'TMONEY t4?hi Kew land Commissioner and Stories of Introductions. 0K1BNTAL EMBASSADOR ESJOIMEST icoBitxsroxDEScx or thb DisrATcn.i "Washington, October 12. I met a few days ago a man who Lad just returned from China alter a year spent in travel throuch that country and the unexplored part of Thibet. Discussing the possibilities of rail road construction in the far East, a subject to which he haspaid some attention, he said: "It will be many years betore they accept rapid transit in China, if, in fact, they ever accept it Time is not money to the Orien tal Money is even thing to him and time is an unconsidered quantity. The people who put money into railroads in India dis covered that long ago. AVhen they made a third-class rate of travel for the natives on the basis of the other rates of fare charged, they ran their third-class cars empty. The people found that they could travel as cheaply by bullock carts, living at wayside inns, as they could by the railroad. They continued, therefore, to travel by bullock carts. In order to build up a business among the natives the railroads had to put third class fares down to a ridiculously low rate. LONG 'WALK FORFOUB CENTS. "The same trouble will be experienced in China. There is a little railroad there about 40 miles of it. The trip costs 25 cents. "Well, a native can walk 40 miles in two days. It costs him 10 or 11 cents a day to live. Ho saves by walking, perhaps, 3 or 4 cents, which is quite an item to him. "As for the products of the soil, they are transported principally by water, the means ot water communication belli? verv perfect There is a great deal of commerce between the different sections of China. One section cultivates rice, one barlev and another oats. Tt is a popular error to believe thatCbinamen live almost entirely on rice. In one section of China the natives live principally on oat meal, in another on barley meal, in another on potatoes. A very large number of them live on rice. You seldom see meat there. Thev have pork occasionally. Traveling over the plains of Thibet we lived princi pally on barley meal made into dough-balls, with butter. Mongolians EAT MEAT EATEN OUSLT. ""When I started with my party across Thibet we were seven in all, and we took with us about 150 pounds of mutton and 50 pounds of butter. It was all gone in six days. The Mongolians take the meat in great hunks, and alter boiling it, devour it ravenously. "Everything is boiled in Thibet Travel ing we had but one kettle. "We boiled our meat and our barlry in that, made our tea in it, and alterwanf fed the dogs from it. Leading a 'dog's life' in earnest, was it not? The people of Thibet are very jealous of in vasion. They believe that the strangers who attempt to penetrate their country are in search of gold. They believe that Thibet is the richest country in the world in pre cious metals. It is certainly very rich in gold, although very little effort has been made to develop its gold fields. Mining there is entirely placer that is, the gold lies loose in theearth and sand and is washed out. They have a saying in Thibet that no one ever became rich hunting tor gold. I met a man one day who had evidently been after gold. He had on his shoulder the wooden cradle in which he had been washing it. I asked him what lnck. "Verv good, he said, and opening the needle case which hung at Iiis side, he produced a little pinch of gold as the result of four days' work. The natives never go after gold until they have exhausted every other means of supply. Yet GOLD IS TElrr CHEAP there. Before going into Thibet I bought some gold at the Chinese rate of 20 times its weight in silver, and sewed it in my cloth ing as a precaution against being robbed. I found when I got into Thibet that my gold was worth there only 12)4 times its weight lu silver; so I lost on my investment. "We had some odd experiences in boats," said my informant "Going through Thi bet we crossed a number of streams which were so deep that we could not ford them. "We had to let the horses swim across, and we went over, one at a time, in a boat The boat was a native affair, made of skins drawn over a light frame of wood, and about four feet in length I had to sit very still in it for fear of capsizing it, and put my feet on the little wooden cross-pieces for safety. The skin was softened by contact with the water, and, if my feet had touched it, the chances are ten to one it wonld break and the boat sink beneath me. In China I went down the Yangtse river in boats. Near the western border there were heavy rapids, and we sat with our eyes shut while the 12-foot boat spun around and around. I felt like the man whom Jules Verne describes as caught in a maelstrom. SOT AT ALL HOSPITABLE. "The Thibetans are not a hospitable peo ple. I bad to flee from their country for my life. I had six guides with me when I started, but when I was half through with my journey, two of them had left me and we were a party of five. Two or three times the native chiefs had acted in a sus picious manner. I had to bribe them with gifts" from time to time until I had hardly anvthing left except the clothing on me. One day a number of them went off for a conference about me, and I thought from their looks that I had better leave. I took two of my companions, leaving the others with my baggage. It was as well I did. The chiefs returned and put the two Mon golians in irons. They escaped, but were recaptured. Then they made a second es cape and succeeded in getting out of the country with my papers. I found on reach ing the western border of China that, al though the French missionaries had been established there 27 years, none of them had ever been able to penetrate into Thibet" THE NEW LAND COMMISSIONER. Judge Groff, the new Commissionerof the General Land Office, slipped into "Washing ton so quietly that his appointment and his coming attracted very little attention, al though the office which he holds was one of the most difficult to fill under the new ad ministration. None ot the candidates who first applied for the appointment were chosen. One of them Governor Stone, of T Colorado was rewarded with the position of Assistant Commissioner, but the others are still waiting for the voice that shall call them into public life. Ferwraallv Judge Groff is a most agreeable man. He is tall and thin and his shoulders are a bit rounded. "When he sits down he curls himself ud in his chair for all the world as Gillette used to do in "The Private Secretary." He wears no hair on chin or lip, but a pair of light sideburns depend from his head of bushy hair. He reminds one verv much in his manner of Gillette's almost inimitable impersonation. There is nothing of "The Private Secretary" in Judge GrofTs con versation, however. He is a very entertain ing conversationalist And he seems to find a great degree of enjoyment in talking. AN INCIDENT EECALLED. Judge Groff went to the Executive Man sion with Colonel Perry Heath, the corre spondent of the Omaha Bee, to call on the -President While they were talking with the President, Congressman Butterworth. of Ohio, came up. Being introduced to him, Judge Groff said: "I have never met you before, Mr. Butterworth, bnt I know you Tery well by reputation." "That reminds me," said Mr. Butter worth, "of my first meeting with Don Piatt I extended my hand when I was introduced, and said: 'I have never seen jou before. Colonel Piatt, but I know you by reputa tion.' 'Then, I am glad to have you know me personally,' said he, 'fur my reputation is Tery bad."' "And that' said Judge Groff, "reminds me of the salutation that passed between two men who met on the street in Omaha and were introduced by a mutual friend. One of them said to the other: 'I have never seen you belore, but I know you very well by reputation.' The other replied: 'I have never heard of yon, sir; but your face is Tery familiar.'" y ' ., L The President laughed Tery heartily at both of these anecdotes. He appreciates a story, although he has not Abe Lincoln's extreme fancy for pleasantry. CURTAILING THEIR ENJOYMENT. It is said the new Chinese Minister docs not intend to allow the members of his suite to indulge in social enjoyment as freely as their predecessors in the Chinese legation. This is unfortunate, as about the only pleasure that there is for the Chinamen is to no out in "societv" and to the theater. Many members of the old embassy were very popular in their way. When I say "in their way," I mean that they were popular as far as they were amusing. They spoke so little English that they could hardly have been entertaining. An impression pre vailed last winter that the Chinese used their photographs as visiting cards to recall their identity to the memories of those whom they honored with their society. I believe this was a fallacy, but there is no doubt that they distributed their portraits rather freely, and that if it had not been for this they would have had great trouble in estab lishing their identity. They had very little to say in English, although I do not doubt that they weie very eloquent IN THEIE NATrVE TONGUE, and their chief eojovment seemed to consist in sitting still and listening to the sweetly accented words that fell from the lips of pretty American girls. Even those who spoke no English at all found a certain re lief from the monotony of the legation in going about in the social world. Their chief enjoyment, however, was always found at the theater. Whenever opera is given at any of the theaters the Chinese Legation is represented in one of the boxes at least once during thg week. The Chinese are always in full native cos tume of bright-colored silks, and they alwaj s attract a great deal ot attention. The fat, yellow faces seldom express any understanding of what is going on or any appreciation of the music. But I suppose they enjoy the performance in a way. It must be more enjoyable than sitting in the legation staring out of the windows or in the little park in front of the legation feed ing crumbs to the snarrows. O'Beien-Bain. A EIOT IN CHUBCH. Two Excommunicated Members Refuse to Leave the Bnlldlng Constables Called In, bnt Are Not Able to Carry Oat Their Orders. IEPECUL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Atjbuen, N. Y., October 13. The old fight between the Bev. Louis A. Lambert, now in Borne, and Bishop McQuaid, of Bochester, broke out with now vigor in Waterloo to-day, and a riot was narrowly averted in the church. Seven weeks ago to dav Bev. Eather Hickey, the present pastor of St. Mary's Church, read a Jetter excom municating William Dempsey and James Kelly because they had ben instrumental in bringing Bev. Dr. McGlynn, of New York, to Waterloo to deliver a lecture upon Father Lambert This morning, at a few minutes before 11 o'clock, John Welch, one of the trustees, advanced to the altar rail and said: "Ire quest James Kelly and William Dempsey to leave their pews and stand at the door of the church." Neither man stirred and Mr. Welch then called npon the congregation to put them out Michael Boyle and James Talbot, two Auburn constables, went down to Mr. Kelly's seat and ordered him out. After some talk he got up and took a seat near the door, from which he refused to stir. Then the constables tried to get Dempsey out He relused to stir even when they took hold of him. Several men, members of the congregation, crowded around and made fun of the two constables, and the latter finally saw that they had gotten into a muddle and left the church. Kelly and Dempsey remained in the church until 15 minutes to 12, when they went out, followed by the members of the congregation who had staid in the church during the scene. Deputy Sheriff Yancleef came up to the church during the squabble inside but did nothing. FOE A PICTURE OF JI0SEB An Artist Selects n Pbotocrnph of General Pike's Head. Washington Post.! The picturesque figure of the venerable General Albert Pike, who was in a carriage with other grand officers of the Templars in the parade, attracted considerable attention yesterday, and one of the grand officers tells an interesting story about the General's striking head. "A Canadian priest," said he, "desired a model for a plaster represen tation of Moses. He had searched for a long time in his own and other countries, and had never seen anything approaching his ideal. Not long ago, however, he was in New York, and in passing along Broad way he spied a full-length photograph of General Pike disnlayed in one of the photo grapher's windows. He did not know whose picture it was, but determined to se cure it at once, and did so. Another story abont General Pike, which is Touched for by the best authority, is that a Chicago artist recently took one of the pictures of the .head of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Bites to make a paint ing of one of the saints to send to the Pope to Bome. MET ON THE SAME TBAC1L One Man Kllled'nnd Several Injured in n Railroad Colli ilan. Cincinnati, October 13. At 9 o'clock last night at Bapid Bun, Several miles west of this city, on the Big Four railway, a west bound freight, consisting of an engine and 11 cars, met and collided with an east bound wrecking train, both going at full speed, owing to a misinterpretation of orders. The result was a terrible wreck of both trains, the instant death of fireman Edward Morris, of the wrecking train, and the serious, if not fatal, injury of fireman Jack Whetstein. The injuries of the other mem bers of the train are so slight as to be un worthy of mention. Engineer Green, of the wrecking train, seems to be the one that Mistook the orders. TOO MUCH ALCOHOL.

At Kowlesburc, Preston county, at 1 o'clock Saturday morning Thomas Dunn shot and instantly killed George Moore. Both men were employes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. On Friday night a young man stole a gallon of alcohol from the express office, and about half a dozen road employes began to drink the stuff. About 1 o'clock in the morning a quarrel was started, in which Moore had his jaw and collar bone broken before he killed Dunn.

All the Coast in That Vicinity Eeady to Eise in His Farort THEEEYIYAL OP AN ANCIENT LEGEHD If General Bonlanger seriously entertains any notion of leading a desperate attack on the strongly intrenched Eepublican Govern ment of Prance he could have chosen no better place to start out from than the rocky Isle of Jersey. Standing on any of the fortress-crowned heights that encircle the quaint old city of St. Helier's, one can on looking to the east see plainly on a clear day the long, low blue coast line of Nor tiandy. With a glass, further off to the south, scarcely distinguishable, between sea and sky can be seen the cliffs of St Lunaire, in Brittany, and sometimes even the light house is visible on the extreme point of Cape Frehel, which, like some enormous wall, pushes out from the French coast miles and miles into the sea. "La Belle France" is hardly 15 miles away. Once the doughty General should cross that stretch of tempestuous channel water, however, he would have truly burned his bridges behind him. The English garrison of Jersey would doubtless offer him any thing but a safe retreat after violating their J hospitalitr. while between him and the coveted Elysee would be the soldiers of the Republic he defies. POINTS IN HIS FATOB. Nevertheless there are several points which would count in the General's favor in case he casts his sword in the balance, which he must have reckoned by selecting Jersey for his present residence. Romance and relig ion appeal strongly to the emotional French man, and on these impulses the exiled officer will have to depend if he lands on the Breton or Norman coast and unfurls the standard of revolt to constituted authority. The an cient religion of Brittany, the Boman Cath olic, is still the creed of the simple peasan try of that province and of Normandy. It is'well known that this Church has openly rnirAftnn 9 ln IJnfi&vfll ' Annn raaini 11 Ilia favored the General's cause, seeing in his snecess, probably, a chance of relief from the somewhat intolerant edicts of the pres ent.Government On the day of the recent election at Mont martre, the Parisian suburb where General Bonlanger was a candidate, prayers were offered lor his success in many of the Catho lic churches throughout the district The General would find nimself among a friendly people at the outset should he land in either Brittany or Normandy. If he has any chance at all of upsetting the Government he could not select a population in France who would flock to his side sooner than those peasants and fisherfolk whose thatched-roof cottages line the rocky shores of ancient Bretagne and Normandie, or are hid away in the dark recesses of the great Forest of Pontual. THE BEST SPOT POSSIBLE. Then not far inland is Rennes, the Gen eral's birthplace, and his hold upon popular favor in that vicinity is well known, and would be a source of material help to him as a base of operations in an uprising and a mad dash on Paris. That part of the French army garrisoned at Rennes, Dinan, St Malo, and neighboring cities are all be lieved to be secret adherents of the cause of the "Brav' General," and doubtless it is upon their help that he counts when the crucial time comes. The French title to Jersey remained un questioned for hundreds of years after the Christian era, until it was brought under English sovereignty by William the Con queror along with his other Norman posses sions. The islands they got in this easv way the English have stubbornly held on to ever since. Normandy they were forced to let go, but their islands, never! True, it costs more to hold them than they are worth. Every height in Jersey and Guernsey bristles with cannon and is clad with masonry, while the keeping of the garrisons and the con tinual engineering experiments to strengthen the forts make a oig hole in the annual war estimates. But it would never do to let the French have them again. Nevertheless, the French yearning to get back these lovely lands has never abated. It is a patriotic flame that burns with special brightness in the breasts of the peo ple of Brittany and Normandy. For centu ries the peasantry of these 'provinces, the most superstitious in Europe, have been taught from their cradles the tradition that some city in either Bretagne or Normandie would bring forth a hero whose mighty arm would restore to France these islands, these jewels in her crown, of which she was robbed by the combined forces of natnre and the prowess of Norman arms at Hastings. AIT OLE- LEGEND REVIVED. The ancient capital of Ann of Brittany, Bennes, with its great cathedral, according to popular belief is to be the city' that will get the proud distinction. Three times have the French landed in Jersey, and vainly tried to drive out the Saxons. Twice have they been led by men from Rennes. Bonlan ger, a native of Bennes,wnen War Minister, contrived to feed this superstition with fresh fuel, and the crednlous Bretons began to think that," with the "man on the black charger" 8t the head of the State, nerhans. after all, the hour was at hand when a blow would be struck which would give them hack their ancient islands. His presence in St Helier's just now will hardly fail to re vive this wistful feeling. Eminent men besides Boulanger have found seenrity in Jersey when forced by political exigencies to fly'their native lands. The thought is doubtless consoling to the General tl at, besides his illustrious country man, Victor Hugo, Jersey was a refuge for Charles IL, of England," when Cromwell ruled Britain. The rooms the King occu pied at Mount Orgueil andElizabeth Castles are among the interesting sights pointed out to visitors to these fortresses. HE FELT BELIEVED. A Georgia Shooting Affair Which Beinllcd Fntnllj. rSrZCTAI. TELEOItAM TO TUX DISPJlTCn.1 Augusta, GA.,October 13. Major Chas. E. McGregor, who shot and killed Mr. James M. W. Cody in Warrenton, Ga., yesterday, was brought here this morning by Sheriff Shurley, of Warren county, for safe keeping. Judge Lumpkin apprehended that Cody's friends would do violence to Major McGregor if he remained in Warren ton, so he ordered his removal here. The excitement in that little town is somewhat quelled, but there is blood on the moon yet McGregor was seen in jail this-morning by a Dispatch correspondent, and said he now felt relieved for the first time in oyer two years. He will waive preliminary ex amination and remain in Jail here until next April, when court meets, and he will then return to Warrenton and stand trial. A Falllnc Derrick Kill Three Bleu. Lansing, Mich., October 13. While a wrecking crew was eogased in clearing away a freight wreck on the Lansing Transit Rail way to-day the hoisting beam of the steam derrick broke and fell upon a group of over a dozen men, killing Peter Quinn, conductor of the construction train, of West Bay City: George Buby, of Jackson, a machinist, and! John Tentile Vest, a brakeman, of Bay City. The two former leave families. The other men escaped serious injury. Arrlvnl of n S100.000 Picture. New York, October 13. The steamer La Bourgogne, from Havre, which arrived to day, has on board Millet's picture, "L'An gelus," which was recently purehased for the American Art Association for $100,000. HISSING THE FLAG, - ChlqaBO Socialists Ininlt the Stars and Stripes, While Cheering: for the Ban ner of Annrchr Inflammatory Addresses on Snndny. Chicago, October 13. When the stars and stripes were raised at the Socialist mass meeting in Vorwaert's Turner Hall this afternoon the flag was greeted with hisses. There were probably 1,000 men and women in the room at the time, all the seats on the floor and most of the seats in the galleries being filled. The banner was brought out by the janitor, and when he unfurled it so that the red, white and blue could be seen, the hissing commenced. He fastened the pole so that the folds of the flag fell on the stage at the foot of those who were to he speakers, and as he did so the hissing increased In volume. Probably half those in the hall joined in it The red flag was then unfurled and fast ened on the opposite side of the platform. Immediately the hissing ceased, and was succeeded by a burst of applause. Men cried "Bravo," and women clapped their hands and waved handkerchiefs. After this demonstration, Martin Schmiedinger was chosen Chairman of the Meeting. He in troduced Sergins E. Shevitch, of New York, as the first speaker. Shevitch spoke in German, and began by declaring the hang ing of the Anarchists to be the gravest crime ever perpetrated in America. This statement, and every statement of the sort that was uttered, was loudly applauded. He" said he was proud of the city in which that execution occurred, be cause he felt that one day It would be the Paris the city of revolutions of America. An awful discontent was smoldering in the hearts of the laborers, and would soon burst forth in the fiery revolution. He said it was useless and idle to think that this revolution would be a peaceful one. The other speakers, Philip Rappa port of Indianapolis; Mrs. Greie,of New York, and Franz Seubert, of Brooklyn, all took a milder tone. A session of the con vention was held dnring the morning, but was occupied in the appointment of com mittees. X50CKED OFF THE TBACK. A Man and Ills Daughter Ban Into by a Trnln and Seriously Injured. tSFXCIAL TELEGRAM TO TBS DISPATCH. I Feanklin, October 13. Last night as J. I C. Davison and his daughter, aged 16 years, were crossing the Lake Shore and Michigan I Southern Bailroad track two miles east of this city in a wagon, they were struck by an accommodation train and so terribly in jured that they will probably die. Tho horse was killed and the wagon was reduced to kindling wood. At the point where the accident occurred the above road runs parallel with that of the Erie Bailway. Mr. Davison saw a train ap proaching on the latter road and drove his horse on the Lake Shore tracks to avoid it. He failed to heed the warning of the en gineer or observe the train approaching until it was too late to escape. He was caught on the cow-catcher and carried several yards and then thrown over an em bankment, receiving terrible injuries. His daughter was thrown some distance, but was not hurt as badly as her father, and may recover. CONTENTED AND HAPPI. A FlttsbnrEcr Finds His Lost Wife Married io n Hubbard Mlllmnn. ISrECIAL TELEGKAil TO THE DISPATCH.! Youngstown, October 13.
