'(.rF.CIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.!
New York, Aug. a The Pittsburg ball
team left this morning for Boston, and, to
s-ay'the least, the boys were not in the best
ot humor. Manager McGunnigle is not
jetting along on the best of terms with
some of the players, and the team are not
one vrhit better than they were when here
on their first trip. If the Giants had been
in anything like their best form the Pitts
lmrgcrs would not have won a game here.
Miller's fine on Saturday was a little too
M-vere, as the coachers were more to blame
than he was. As a result the feeling in the
team will probably be worse than it ever
was. Manager McGunnigle does not hesi
tate to state, or at least imply, that the
team have not been managed in the past,
and he says he will place them up the list,
Yesterday he said to a reporter that he had
good pitchers, good fielders and good hit
lers, but that nobody had so far gotten the
learn down to syt-tematic playing. He
mjans to do this, but so far he has not been
very successful. Hanlon is playing ft great
game, and there Is far more respect among
the players for him than for the present
manager.
SHAKE UP IK THE RACE.
As was to be expected, the coming of the
"Western teams to the East has resulted in a
shake up in the League race. Tho Bostons .
and New Yorks are so near each other that
the difference of a game lost or won cither
nv causes them to change places. For tho
past ten days they have been vibrating
scroncl v between second and third places,
nnd under the preeent condition of affaire it
f,wnis likely that they will continue to so
vihntte.
There have been three other swapplngs
about of position. The Brooklyn)), by dint
of a little good luck and the encouragement
of their soulful admirers, have been enabled
to thrust the aspiring Cleveland Dumplings
into the -sixth hole, and at the same time the
PittshuigJ, by reason of the unusual circum
stance ot winning two games In one short,
fleeting wees, have mounted once more to
tho seenth rung of the ladder, in which
proer ss they have relegated the ill-starred
Cmcinnatis to the south end of the list.
The Philadelphlas, also, have been play
ing an excellent game so excellent, in fact,
that they compelled proud Anson to suc
cumb on three separate and distinct occa
sion, thereby conferring a great favor on
the citizens of this neighborhood, and llke-v-isc
advancing themselves from fifth to
fourth position. The Philadelphlans are by
no mean out oY the race, and if the gait at
w htch thev" are at present playing is contin
ued for any length of tlra, it will not be
long before they will cause cold chills to
creep up the respective spines of Managers
Anson, Slutrie and Selee.
A COMFORTABLE MARGIN.
But, In spite of the three games dropped at
Philadelphia, the Chtcagos still occupy front
place by a comfortable margin. If, as had
been anticipated, tho Bostons had been able
to win two out of three from them, they
would now be within easy reach of the
Giants. As it Is, the heavy responsibility
devolves upon the local players of defeat
ing Capt. Anson three straight games.
For the achievement of this end Rusle's
strength has been hoarded, and he will be
pitted in two out of three game with tho
leaders.
Up to this morning the Xew Yorkg had
won four games and lost one since beglnn
rlng the scries with the Western clubs at
the Polo Grounds. One of the Cleveland
giincs has been protested and will unques
tionably have to be played over again.
The decision of Umpires Battin and
Pot ors in the ninth inning of the last game
-with the Giants wa plainly an unfounded
one, and wai the result of an ignorance of
the rules combined with a sudden attack of
the rattles. Scanners of the percentage
tables will therefore carefully bear in mind
that the standing of the New Torts Is not
m li.it it is cracked up to bo. and that they
have in reality won one game less than the
number ci edited to them.
Unpleasant as this reflection is, every
fair-minded crank, if there is such a one,
inut acknowledge that the game in ques
tion was unrighteously awarded to the
Giants at a time when the Clevelands were
in a fair way of winning it.
It is reported that Manager Mutrio has en
gaged two now pitchers.
They are supposed to be Coughlin, of the
Svracue club, and Barr, of the Buffalos.
Coughlin has been ancled tor by the League
fishermen for t-ome months, and he wasonly
lestrained from ioining one of tho major
clubs b reason of the tad-iron cinch which
the Syracuse officials had placed on his ser
vices. ABOUT PITCHER COUGHLIN-.
Ho has proicd hiiiis-olf an excellent
liitchcr, in tho Eastern League, but there are
Etiinc Manager McGunningle, for instance,
who believe that the League, confraternity
w ill bo too bpeedy for liim. Pitcher Bob
Rarr, of the Buffalos is k veteran, and his
abilities are well k-aown. The only wonder is
that ho ha not been engaged in some major
oi ionization before.
It is to be hoped that in case these pitchers,
or cither one of them, are engaged by Man
ager Mutrie they will come up to expecta
tions. Tho pennant cannot fly from the pin
nacles of this capital unless Husie receives
some assistance other than that afforded by
Jleisrs. Mickey "Welch and Long John
F-K-tag.
It had been hoped that our pitching de
partment hnd had its share of suffering, but
to cap the climax of nil that has gone before
conies the intelligence that Welch has met
with yet another interesting event in his
family. It is the eleventh interesting event
of the kind Welch has experienced. Such
occunences, in fact, have been so frequent
in the Welch family that tho interest
therein, to the veteran twirlcr at least, has
w orn off omev. hat at the corners.

TIM MAY RETIRE.
Eeefe States He May 'ot Sign to Pitch
Again This Season.
New York, May 9. Considerable has been
written or late of the probability of Keefe
wearing a Brooklyn uniform. President
Byinesaid yesterday: "What do we want
Keefe fort Have we not enough pitchers
already? Of course I would sign him under
certain conditions. If he can show that his
arm is all right ho can sign with the Brook
lyn club at his own terms. The trouble is
that Keefe would probably want a cast-iron
contract calling for a big salary without it
being known whether he could earn that
salary. Young ballplayers are aching to get
a chance to show what they can do and that
they are worth something. Xow if Keefe
would be w illing to jump in and show what
he is capable of doing and prove that he is
not a back number, he stands in a good way
to receive the largest salary paid to any
pitcher in the country. But I am not sign
ing players on what they nave done in years
past; it is what they can do at the present
time."
Manager Ward said that Keefe told him
that he visits the Polo grounds every morn
ing to practice and find out conclusively
what kind of trim he is in. If he finds that
he Is not in flrst-cluss condition he will not
sign again this season, but will wait until
next year.
HAYEK'S SIDE OF IT.
The BridgevUle Team Manager Explain!
His Club's Position Very Clearly.
To the Sporting Editor of The Dispatch:
Bbidoeville, Aug. 9. I hereby submit to
you the first and only authorized statement
In regard to our standing in the County
League. It is true that the Bridgeville club
had considered the advisability of with
drawing from the league. The refusal of tho
East End Gyms to appear in Bridgeville
caused much dissatisfaction among our
patrons of the game and, in fact, threatened
to hurt the club so much in a financial way
that the directors did not think it advisable
to remain and suffer the loss.
The reconsideration of this position of
the "Gvms" manager, as shown by his card
in The Sunday Dispatch of course takes
away Bridgevllle's cause of complaint. I
therefore accept tho proposition of Mr. Bar
bour to play on Wednesday in Bridgeville,
the Gymns to receive expenses; but I cer
tainly will not allow Bridgeville to be dis
criminated against, and I will not put up an
extra forfeit if $50 unless the managers
of the other clubs do the same,. Bridgeville
is a member ot the County League in good
standing, and it would be the height of in
justice to require us to make such a deposit.
I would further say to Mr. Barbour that the
expense of the Bridgeville team does not
concern him. Also, I emphatically deny
that I said the League was run in the inter
est of the East End Gyms, but I did sav that
thev nad a decided advantage over the other
clubs in tbe League in the way of expense.
They can put their team in the field in their
homo grounds at a cost of practically noth
ing, and they play It out of the 20 games at
home.
However, we have no right to feel grieved
over a natural advantage possessed by the
Gym club. I have always opposed the cry
which arose against tbe East End Gyms run
ning the League. I give them the credit of
being the most active and useful club in the
League. I do not want them to believe that
I inspired all tbe articles which they have
seen in tbe papers during the past few days.
Let us be harmonious and make the League
long-lived. C. P. Mater,
Manager Bridgeville Club.
A Good Contest.

KNOCKED MCMILLAN 0TJZ
Tom Itran Very Easily Settles the "Washing
ton Man in the "Welter-Weight Fight,
Kicn-ARDSOX, III., Aug. 9. The fight an
nounced for this morning between Tommy
Byan, who defeated Danny Keedham at
Minneapolis last -winter for the welter
weight championship, and William Mo
Millen, of Washington, D. C., was fought at
Richardson, a milk station 48 miles west of
Chicago, on the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas
City road this morning. The fight was onej
sided from start to finish. McMlllen, who
had been nearly starved in oider to weigh
in under 144 pounds, being so weak from his
training that he could hardly have fought a
school boy. The result of the contest was
easily predicted when the two men stripped
in the little railroad freight warehouse at
Richardson and stepped on the scale. Ryan
in excellent condition was in marked con
trast to McMillan's overtrained appearance,
he having sweat off six pounds in the last
day or two. Their weights at 4:20 this morn
ing are unknown, as neither balanced the
scale which was set at 144 pounds.
The seconds were chosen as follows: For
Ryan, Jim Hall, the Australian, and Prof.
George Siler; for McMillan, Bob Collins and
Jim Kuhns. Malachi Hogan was then se
lected as referee and at 6:40 A. si. time was
called.
The fight was for 75 and 25 per cent of gate
money and a small side bet, Quoensbery
rules, with two-ounce gloves, to a finish.
The 6even coaches on thb train probably
contained about 350 men at $12 per head.
After the usual preliminaries time was
called and tho fight was on.
Round I They sparred cautiously for an
opening when Ryan led for the face with his
left, and they "clinched. Breaking Ryan
feinted with his right, landing lightly on the
jaw and following it with a hard left hander
on the mouth. McMillan got in an easy
thump on Ryan's ribs, whereupon ltyuu
adopted rushing tactlos, getting home ou
McMillan's forehead and neck with right and
left- The fighting had been rapid, and both
men were now somewhat weary. After a
pass or two, which did no damage, Ryan
mHde a dab at McMillan's jaw, but missed
and eluded a return. Ryan got home at
close quarters with his right on Mac's small
ribs and followed it up with bis left hard on
the Jaw. McMillan, while apparently a trifle
"rattled," succeeded however In waking
Ryan up with a jab under the heart, which
made him grunt and catch his breath. It
was plain thus early that Ryan had the best
of the round, McMillan though taking his
punishment well not having sufficient
ktrength to make his blows effective.
Round 2 This round opened with a lead,
cross lead and clinch, Rj an landing a light
tap on McMillan's mouth on the break. Stc
Millau led the right, Rjnn eluded, nnd, re
turning again, received a hard whack in the
ribs. Then Ryan, atter feinting with the
left, planted a solid blow squarely on Mc
Millan's nose, causing It to bleed freely.
Rjnn now began to lorce matters, nnd in his
eagerness laid himself open to McMillan's
right, which collided with his neck. Ryan,
dazed for an instant, lell heavily backward,
and it was feared ho was done. At seven
seconds Rvan regained his feet, and ap
peared little the worse for the blow which
so nearly lost him the fight. He went in now
for revenge, driving McMillan all over the
ring with last and furious blows, twice fell
inz him to the floor.
In the third round Ryan soon knocked Mc
Millan out. Only one or two knock down
blows wero needed until ho was knocked
senseless.
The Big Western Race.
CniCAOO, Aug. 9. The entries for the $10,
000 race, which is to be run at Garfield Park
August 22, did not close yesterday as was at
first nnnounced. Instead, Saturday, August
15, has been set as tho day for closing. This
change was made at request of certain
ou tiers of high class racers who desire more
time to look into tho conditions of the big
race. The race, however,is nowise affected
by the above change, and weather and track
permitting, the most notable equine battle
in the West will be decided at Garfield Park

Something Is Up, Sure.
f SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBI DISPATCn.l
Chtcismati, Aug. 9. Something is up.
Seven clubs of the American Association
have requested Edward Renau to resign the
presidency of the club at Pendleton. He
was nt the game this afternoon, but refused
to be interviewed. In his paper to-day,
Secretary Johnson, of the Cincinnati club,
declares "the American Association officials
may protest as much as they please, but
thelrclub will be removed from Cincinnati
beforo the season closes. When Manager
Barnle was here he was burstlnir with sensa
tions which ho couldn't keep to himsolf. He
declared, that the Association had already
secured Ward, Connor and Dannie Richard
son for nextjseason, and that capitalists had
been found to back teams to play cheap ball
in Brooklyn, Chicago and Pittsburg next
season."

MTJEDEBED HIS FATHER.
A Touth Shoots Because He "Was Pushed
Downstairs Into the Yard.
Ciuciknati, Aug. 9. About 8 o'clock
this morning Charles Xieman, aged 20, shot
and instantly killed George Nieman, his
father. George Nieman is a cobbler. He
had been divorced from his wife, but still
lived in the same house with her and her
children. He had frequent quarels with his
divorced wife and family, and this morn
ing's tragedy was the culmination of one of
these disputes. He had come downstairs a
little after the boys had risen and while
they were yet dressing and demanded that
the door be opened, which -was done.
Just ljefore he opened the door, the son
Charles took a loaded revolver from the
mantel and put it in his pocket so that his
father might not get it. The old man en
tered the room, began to abuse his bon and
filially assaulted him. The boy's mother in
terfered, but was roughly pushed aside by
her divorced husband, and she fell to the
floor in a swoon. The old man then pushed
his son out of the room and backed him
down stairs. At the foot of these stairs is a
yard. As soon as he reached the bottom of
the steps Charles stepped back and drawing
the revolver fired, killing his father in
stantly. The boy was arrested and his
father's body .was taken to the morgue. The
boy takes his arrest very quietly.
COLONELS EIGHT A DUEL.
Mexican Officers Fight "With Swords Until
One Ilecoxnes Exhausted
City of Mexico, Aug. 9. A duel was
fonght at Piedad, near here, Thursday
morning, between Colonels Francisco Nevoa
and Manuel Blanco. The duel was brought
about by a dispute, the two colonels using
language to each other of the harshest na
ture, ifevoa had for his Eeconds General
Flores and Colonel Eodrigo Valdes, and
Bianco was supported by Deputies Fran
cisco Romero, a celebrated duelist, and An
tonio Tovar, the author of the dueling code
of Mexico. The arms chosen were swords.
The. assaults after the signal for attack
was given were ten. In "these ten assaults
Blanco was wounded in the right arm,
again in the throat and was laid out by a
thrustin the liver, he only giving up after
becoming so weak that he could not stand,
when the seconds ordered the duel to come
to a close. Xevga had several scratches,
none, however, worth mentioning. In view
of the fact that President Diazforbade duel
ing in the arniv by a special decree some
months ago it Is probable that the Colonels
will be placed under arrest and punished.
A SUSPICIOUS EIEE.
Max nart and Ills Foreman Are Thought
to Have Started It.
Isfecial telegram to the DisrATcn.
Philadelphia, Aug. 9. A fire, sup
posed to have been the malicious work of
the proprietor, occurred in the pantaloon
factory of Max Hart this morning. Hart
and his foreman, Adolph Burnside, are now
under "the care of Lieutenant Burke, at the
Fourth district station house, pending au
investigation by the fire marshal. The loss
is estimated by the department' at 51,500,
but the proprietor claims he has lost stock
alone to the value of $8,000.
The story of the fire, as related by those
on the spot at the time of the,occurrence,
gives it a very suspicious appearance.
MINISTERS WILL MEET.
Eussian and French Cabinet Officers
to Have a Talk Abont
THB ATTITUDE OP THB DREIBUND.
The Withdrawal of the Princely Pretend
ers' Proscription.
THEY MUST OBEY AND CANNOT COMMAND
Paris, Aug. 9. M. Eibot, French Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, will go to Lau
sanne at the end of this month on a vaca
tion, during which he will meet, either at
Lausanne or at Luzerne, the Bussian
Foreign Minister, M. De Giers, who is also
about to make a holiday sojourn in Switzer
land. The meeting is the subject . of much
speculation, apart from the Franco-Bussian
military entente already partially eflectcd.
M. Eibot, according to a diplomatic report,
will seize the chance to consult with M. De
Giei on the menacing attitude of Dreibund
Zollvcrein toward both France and Bussia.
Yesterday evening's North Qerman Gazette
frankly avows what the French foreign
office has long suspected-'-that the ultimate
object of Germany in promoting a European
Commercial League was the conclusion of
tariff conveutions with all States outside of
Europe.
A semi-official communication in the
Forth German Gazette repudiates any design
to isolate France or to interfere with Eus
sian commerce, but the palpable result of
the Zollverein in placing the parties to the
compact in an advantageous position for the
negotiation of commercial treaties with for
eign States is dwelt upon.
PRINCES CAN OBEY, BUT NOT COMMAND.
If M. Eibot succeeds through his confer
ence with M. De Giers in effecting an
'economic entente between the two countries

TOO WICKED FOB UNCLE SAM.
A Western Town Declines to Have a Di
vorced Man for Postmaster.
Concordia, Kan., Aug. 9. For the last
few days this city has been greatly excited
over rumors concerning a divorce and mar
riage of Postmaster Taylor, of Superior.
Last night an indignation meeting was
called that the whole matter might be made
public. Over 600 of the best citizens at
tended this meeting at the Briges Opera
House, and Mayor Cotton was called upon
to preside. The facts are briefly as follows:
On July 16, Mr. Taylor and ivife started
for California. Mr. Taylor was to accom
pany his wife to Denver. The arrival of
the Taylors had been preceded by D. A.
Baxter, who engaged rooms at a respectable
house for Mrs. Taylor and her four children.
Shortly after Mr. Taylor arrived in Den
ver he, with Baxter and a stranger,
visited a honse of ill-repute, and on
the next day a complaint was filed by
lawyer McCabe for Mrs. Taylor, asking for
a divorce from her husband. Taylor waived
all defense, and on July 22 a divorce was
granted.
On the next morning Mrs. Taylor, with
her children, boarded the train for Califor
nia. Mr. Tavlor lost no time returning to Wy
more, Neb., and from there took the tram
for Marvville, Kan., where he was married
to Miss'LaJvrence July 27, after which Mr.
Taylor, with his new-made wife, returned
to Superior to conduct the postoffice for
Uncle Sam. The citizens gave expression
to their indignation at the mass-meeting by
passing this resolution:
Itesolved, That in view of the scandalous
proceedings of Superior's postmaster, Victor
Taylor, we do most respectfully and
earnestly ask his Excellency, President
Harrison, to at once remove Victor Tnylor
lroni the position of postmaster of Superior.

SHOT WHILE SEINING.
TnE MIDNIGHT CAFTORE OF AN OHIO
FISH AND GAME WARDEN.
A Fisherman Breaks a Lantern Over His
"Head and Sets Fire to the Grass In the
Battle One of the Marauders Was
Wounded.
Datton, O., Aug. 9. State Deputy
Game Warden L. K. Buntain, of this city,
fatally shot David Mcllvain, who he caught
with four others seining in the river near
Harshmanville about midnight. Buntain
had heard that a party had gone up the
river to seine, contrary to State law, and at
the request of Ben F. Seitner, member of
the County Fish and Game Protective Soci
ety, who accompanied him, he went to the
spot, both being disguised.
Four miles up the river they came upon
the party in the act of drawingthe seine,
and Buntain, stepping into view, said:
"Hello, boys, we got here just in time to
see you make a haul." Instantly one of the
fishermen struck Buntain a hea'vv blow in
the left eye with a stone. David Mcllvain,
who was in the river with the seine, drew
his revolver and began shooting at Buntain
and Seitner. Another of the fishermen also
pulled his revolver. Then Buntain fired
twice at Mcllvain, hitting him in the arm
and sending a second bullet through his
body just below the heart, the ball ranging
from the left side to the right.
One of the fishermen struck Seitner over
the head with a lantern, bursting the
lantern and setting fire to the grass, light
ing np the scene. This gave the officers
command of the situation. Buntain com
pelled the four men to bring the wounded
Mcllvain to the bank, then range in line
in the light of the fire until he identified
all: John Hazell, David Await, James
Percy, William Eichardson and the wounded
man Mcllvain.
Buntain took the seine and otherproperty
and the party brought Mcllvain to town.
Buntain lmmediatelv called at the police
office to give himself up, but as he was a"
State officer and did the shooting in self
defense, as admitted by the wounded man,
no arrest was made, nor have the fishermen
been arrested.
Cyrus Osborn, ex-President of the State
Fish Commission, called at the police office
to say that the County Fish and Game Pro
tective Association will stand by Buntain.
A BIG POSTAL UNION.
Delecates From Almost Erery Country at
The Vienna Congress.
Washington, Aug. 9. Captain Brooks,
Superintendent of Foreign Mails, has just
returned from Vienna where he was in at
tendance as a delegate to the
International Postal Convention.
There were he says delegates
present from every civilized country except
Sfatal and the Transvaal. He believes that
by the time of the next convention, which
meets here in 1897, every civilized country
will be in the Postal Union. The principal
event of the Vienna convention was
the admission of the Australian coun
tries. They agreed to come in on October
1 this year, provided the international
postal rates were not reduced. They claimed
they could not stand a reduction. The
present rate between this country and Aus
tralia is 12 cents and from that country to
this the rate is 6 pence a half ounce. This
country will at once reduce the rate to 5
cents. Australia may keep its rate at 10
cents, bnt it is likely it will reduce it nt
once to 5 cents.
Another matter of interest is the change
in the size of sample packages of mer
chandise which may be sent through the
mails to and from countries in the union.
The present treaty limits such packages to
3x4x2 inches. The new treaty increases the
limit to 12x8x4 inches.
Yet another measure of public interest is
included in the new treaty. That is a clause
requiring each country in the union, after
July 1, 1892, to issue a double postal card
for the foreign service. A double postal
card for foreign use will cost 4 cents.
HE WHIPPED THE CB0WD.
They Turned the Tables and He Barely
Escaped Hanging to a Lamp Post.
ST. Louis, Aug. 9. Daniel Burman
stopped at the house of Michael Becker at a
late hour last night, where a number of
people were gathered for a social purpose,
and, being belligerently inclined, offered to
whip any person present. The challenge
was followed by blows from the whip Bur
man carried in his band upon the head and
shoulders of a number of those present.
So many persons seemed unwilling to re
ceive punishment that it required a squad
of police to rescue Burman from the hands
of what soon became a mob, whose inten
tion was a lynching, for he was being
dragged to the nearest lamp post by the
mob, several of whom were clubbing and
hitting him in the face and on the body
with their fists. Burman was badly hurt,
but will recover.

ME VICEROY'S AMBITIOUS PROJECTS
New York, Aug. 9. The Herald to-day
prints the following from its special cor
respondent at Shanghai, China:
Events in China are rapidly going from
bad to worse. Grave disorders and serious
uprisings have broken out in the principal
open ports of the Yangtse Kiang. As you
are already aware, the scene of the first re
volts took place at Woo-Hoo, bnt the dis
patches to the London Time on the subject
were inaccurate. Since then the blaze of
straw has become a conflagration.
The numerous secret societies, and among
them the all powerful Kolaghwei, have
thrown themselves heart and soul into a
movement directed toward the overthrow of
the present dynasty. I am in possession of
a thousand details of the metods of action of
this extraordinary association, which I
shall make the subject of another
letter. The Kolaghwei has found a
most favorable field of action in the
Yangtse Kiang country, because the distress
and misery there are terrible. The drought
has destroyed the harvests and the people
there are on the verge of starvation and
dying off by the hundred thousand. The
surviving wretches, instigated by hunger
and want of every kind, are burning, robbing
and murdering on every side, so they
naturally become the unconscious agents of
the leaders of the revolution.
among the soldiers.
All soldiers who have served their time
in an army organized in regiments and
brigades are now ready to obey any orders
emanating from he Kolaghwei. All these
people have nothing to lose, but everything
to gain. Mandarins of the highest rank and
at least two viceroys are connected with the
movement. This Chinese socialism is dif
ferent from that of Western Europe, but
has certain points of similarity to nihilism.
Governors of provinces, provincial func
tionaries, officials of every rank, down to
the most insignificant employes, and almost
the whole of the literary classes are
joined together with the common object of
overthrowing the present Government and
reigning dynasty. In Eussia the peasant
workman and the lowest classes are not, as
a rule, implicated in nihilism, but remain
loyal to the Czar; butin Chinathe ignorant,
starving masses become docile agents of the
Kolaghwei, who remain in the background
secretly directing and fomenting the move
ment. As you already know, the American mis
sionary, Mr. Argent, and the English Cus
tom Mouse official, Mr. Green, were assas
sinated at Wusueh. Their heads were
crushed between large stones and their
mangled bodies were kneade'd into a jelly.
The river boat arrived in time to save the
women and children. Do you snppose that
the British authorities, the Consuls who
represent England and who should protect
the lives of Europeans in danger, gave
themselves any anxiety abont such a slight
affair? They neglected to take any meas
ures of precaution for other persons, but
looked out pretty carefully for themselves.
A CONSUL'S ESCAPE.
At Woo-Hoo, for instance, the English
Consul, who, according to the inaccurate
dispatch sent to the London Times, was
said to be "wounded," in reality was in a
state of absolute despair. He. however.
managed to escape by disguising himself as
a Chinaman, and went to a place of safety
without troubling his head about the
European women and children in peril.
As to the British fleet, which is pretty
strong now in Chinese waters, it was alto
gether invisible and only put in an appear
ance when the emeute was all over Ad
miral Richards was, in fact, cruising to
ward Japan. On the other hand, the United
States snip Palos and the French cruiser
L'Inconstant were on hand, and at Kukiang
acted in friendly co-operation
They cleared their decks for action and
threatened to bombard the town if the rioters
moved a step. The commander of L'Incon
stant, Captaine de Fregate de Jonquieres,
watch in hand, fixed the hour for the Taotai
of Kukiang himself to bring the entire
European population missionaries, nuns,
orphans, women and children into the
"Bund," in default of which the
two men-of-war would open fire and reduce
the town to ashes. All the guns
were loaded and pointed. Mitrailleuses,
Hotchkiss, quick firing and machine guns
were placed in the tops and "to quarters"
was sounded on both the ships. Singularly
enough, in the London Times dispatches
L'Inconstant was referred to as an English
man-of-war.
These good relations and perfect under
standing between the United States and
French naval officers are everywhere ap
parent, especially at Shanghai, where the
Palos and Le Villars almost fraternize.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SIDE.
Every one asks, What was the Chinese
fleet doing? It is an open secret that just
before the outbreak the all powerful Li
Hung Chang, surnamed "the Chinese Bis
marck," who, among other important-func-tions.fulhlls
that of Chief of the Admiralty,
sent a fleet off to the north to execute the
grand naval maneuvers. It is the great Li
Hung Chang, in fact, who holds the fate of
the Empire in the palm of his hands. He
is V iceroy oi i. eiciuii.
Pekin is situated in his territory, and is
at his mercy. His bodyguard alone com
prises 10,000 splendidly armed and equipped
veteran soldiers. Admiral Tzing, who com
mands the fleet, is his near relative. Li
Hung Chung, Viceroy of Canton, including
tht nrnvinces of Ouane-Toun? and Quantr-
See, is his brother. The Viceroy of Szech
uen is his devoted servant and ame damnee,
who owes him everything he possesses in
the world.
LI HUNG CHANG'S POSSESSIONS.
Li Hung Chang's relatives, friends and,
devoted adherents occupy important posts
scattered through the length and breadth
of the vast Empire. All the money from
the provinces comes to him. His private
fortune is enormous. He is absolute and
arbitrary. He is untrammeled by the
slightest control, and all the resources of
the Empire are at his disposal. What does
the dynasty weigh in the balance against
this experienced statesman and general?
Up to the present time he has not signi
fied anv positive intention to overturn the
dvnasty, but he has most certainly done
nothing to defend it against the present
revolutionists.
The rebels have already caused the nomi
nal rulers at Pekin to become estranged
from the European powers, who might
otherwise protect them, but who, on the
contrary, are sure to demand from the im
perial Government heavy indemnities. At
Shanghai there is intense excitement in the
foreign settlement and in the French con
cessions. There is here a large settlement
of English and an important American
colony; there are Germans, P.ussians, Jap
anese, etc.
FOR SELF-PROTECTION.
All the consuls, presided over by their
doyen (M. Wagner, the French Consul),are
arranging for the defense of the reservation.
A call has been made for volunteers, arms
are distributed, and a military police, com
prising men who have served in the army.is
formed "into a corps d'elite of home guards.
English and French volunteers and German
mobiles are drilling day and night.
The men-of-war of all nationalities are
ready to take part in the defease of Shang
hai when an attack shnll be made. La
Triomphantc, flying the AdoiraJ's pennant,
is in the harbor with 450 blue jackets on
board. She is an ironclad and has an arma
ment of 15 heavy guns. Le Villars, of 15
guns, with 270 men. is also In the harbor.
The United States ship Alliance- is anchored
near .Lie viiiars. a sponisniour gun cruiser,
with 120 men, is also on hand.
Her Majesty's ships the Bedpole and
Swift, the former with six guns and T5 men
and the latter with five euns and 93 men,
are ready for any emergency. Italy is rep
resented by the Voltnrno, of eight guns anu
182 men. Japan has the Yamata. with seven
guns and 130 men, In good order and eager
for the fray. Two Russian cruisers, the
Koreyetz and Mandjour,came recently from
Nagasaki, made a short stay at Shanghai
and proceeded up the Yangtse river to join
the United States ship Palos, the Alacrity.
Admiral Richards, flagship, and the French
gunboats La Vipere and L' Aspic.
AMERICAN APATHY.
Admiral Richards is most severely criti
cised by the local English press here for
his apathy during the recent outbreak. It
is now understood that all the vessels will
act in concert in case of an attack, and will,
if the necessity arises, land marines and
blue jackets to act in conjunction with the
volunteers at Shanghai or any acessible
ports on the Yangtse, such as Tchang, Han
kow, Ku Kiang, Wuhu, Njanking, Chin
kiang, etc
The revolutionists have posted placards
on the shops of the native cities and towns
and on those of all the European conces
sions, even in Shanghai, annonncing tbe
town will be burned and pillaged. The
taotai, of Shanghai, has replied to this by
posters stating that every rebel captured
shall have his head chopped off.
It is relatively calm here now, but this
cannot last. It is feared that the quarterly
examinations at Nankin will be made a pre
text fo- a general outbreak. At the lowest
estimate 30,000 students will assemble in
the ancient capital of China on this occa
sion. Each student brings with him a serv
ant. All the merchants collect there, and
upward of 100,000 able-bodied men will thus
be in Nankin in addition to the normal
population. These examinations begin the
first week in September, and it is the liter
ati who constitute the most dangerous ele
ment of the Kalaohwei; the hotbed of it is
in the province of Hunan.

Hundreds of Men Still Out Hunting
the Ohio Desperado.

But Eludes Them Again and Buries Himself
in a Dense Forest.
PLANNING TO SMOKE HIJ1 OUT TO-DAT
rSPZCTALTELEGBAlI.TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Lima, O., Ang. 9. The people of Co
Inmbns Grove are still in a wild state of ex
citement over the bank robbery and mur
der. Last night at 7 o'clock, when the sun
went down, fully 1,000 men were scouring
through the corn fields, wheat fields and
meadows lying between Bluffton, Beaver
Dam, West Cairo and Columbus Grove, but
the robber was still at liberty. The closest
watch was kept up all night long, and
traces of the desperado were found at in
tervals. William Vandermark, the good oJ(
fanner who was the innocent victim of one'
of the murderer's bullets, died at 3 o'clock1
this morning at his home near Vaughan
ville, five miles west of Columbus Grove.
He was surrounded by his family. It was
a very touching; scene at his bedside. Hun
dreds of his neighbors and friends drove to
the family homestead to-day to condole
with the family. His death is deeply de
plored, and has had the effect of putting re
newed vigor into the determined men who
are in pursuit of his murderer.
THE CASHIER'S CONDITION.
Cashier Jlnples has rested comfortably all
day to-day and will speedily recover if not
set back. He received many messages from
outside friends to-day. He hopes to beable
to be at his desk in the bank to-morrow.
Officers Hugh Patton, Jack Stockton and
Charley Rooney returned home this even
ing. They say theynever saw such an ex
cited populace. They declare there are
1,300 men out after the murderer; that they
drove through cornfields with buggies; tore
fences down and broke down wide rows of
corn in their eagerness to overhanl the
robber. Sheriff Williamson, ot Putnam,
was on the gronnd early with a big force of
deputies, but from lack of organization the
pursuers are more like a mob than sensible
men.
The desperado is a fleet runner. He stop
ped at George Baily's farmhouse to obtain a
drink of water, and at several houses be
tween Beaver Dam and Bluffton.
THE MUKDEREIt'S BOLDNESS.
At Frank Freet's house a large posse of
men was waiting for him. He dashed out
of a com field right among the crowd.
Freet leveled his gun, but he dashed into
the woods and was soon lost to view. He
was again surrounded in Tom Wilkinson's
woods, hut his nerve did not fail him, and
he dashed out into the open country.
He ran across a gang of men about nine
miles southeast of there employed by the
Standard Oil Company, in laying a new oil
line to pump oil from Finley to their re
finery in this city. These men had no
knowledge of the robbery. He asked for
something to eat and the men divided lunch
with him. He still wears the same clothe
that he had on at Columbus Grove. Pat
Boyle, the foreman of the gang, described
him exactly as Cashier Maple did. He
claimed he was on the road to Bluffton look
ing for work.
A FRIGHTENED FAMILY.
He called at the farm house owned by
Mrs. Bippert, who was sick in bed. He
rushed into the house with his murderous
revolvers in each hand. Her two daughters
went into hysterics and Mrs. Itippert had
an attaok'of heart trouble. It is feared she
will die from the shock. He stole a valu
able blooded more from the field on the
farm of DaTid GraftoD, about 4 o'clock this
afternoon, and at 7 o'clock to-night he was
seen gome in the direction of Ada.
It is bellevedby many that he belongs to
the Marvin Kuhn gang of horje thieves,
and that he is trying to reach Prospect,
O., by way of Marion. The farm of Grafton
is located along a side track of the Lake
Erie and Western Railroad. It was sup-
Sosed that by this time he is secreted in a
ense forest lying about halfway between
Ada and Bluffton. The last man who saw
him was Asa Battle, living southeast of
Blufiton.
"WIIX SMOKE HIM OUT.
William Maple, the brother of the cashier,
has a large nnmber of good men close on
his trail, but will be unable to smoke him
out before morning. Maple declares he
will capture him dead or alive.
John T. ITorris is anxious to engage in
the chase. Norris' theory is that he is an
escaped convict from Michigan City, Ind.,
but the theory that he is one of Marvin
Knhn's pals finds most believers.
Whoever he is, he has displayed wonder
ful nerve and endurance and has made a
wonderful chapter in the criminal history
of Ohio. The excitement increases as the
hours go by. Several officers leave here in
the morning at early sunrise.
VINDICATING HIMSELF.
Ex-Bank Examiner Drew Makes a State
ment of His "Work "With Keystone.
rSPECIAL TELEGHAX TO THE DISPATCn.l
Philadelphia, Ang. 9. Ex-Bank Ex
aminer William P. Drew to-night forwarded
to Secretary Foster a detailed account of
his work in connection with the Keystone
National Bank. The statement is in vind-
cation of himself and deals with the 0iJ
tion of Comptroller Lacey in asking"
for his resignation, owing to his omission
in his January report of the condition of
the Keystone Bank, in connection with the
Clearing House loan. Mr. Drew says it
was an oversight in transcribing and cal
culated in itself to greatly mislead.
He was not aware of the omission until
June 23, when he received his papers in the
case, but the Clearing House loan cer
tificates were liabilities of an extraordinary
nature, and ,known to the Comptroller's
office to have been issued to the Keystone
National Bank in November, 1890, and to
have been greatly increased in amount
in December following by reason ofa "run"
on the bank. His January report, 3Ir. Drew
says, was marked "preliminary," in
timating that a fuHer and more trustworthy
report was to follow, and which did follow
with the omitted item in fulL The state
ment further comments upon the fact that
the omission was not disco ered until five
months had passed, and that the unsatis
factory condition of trje Keystone and
Spring Garden Banks was called to the at
tention of the Comptroller in 1889.
