Francois, French consul at Yun Nan Sen, arrived here yesterday afternoon aboard the steamer Tonkin. When questioned with regard to the causes of the troubles in China he replied that the first cause was the hatred the natives felt for the foreigners. After that, in his Judgment, came the overwhelming ambition of Prince Tuan, the inspirer of the imperial policy. "Tuan, it was," said M. Francois, "who prepared everything. He was able by his Machiavellian skill and by the assistance of his creatures to get an imperial order delivered the same day In all the provinces of China di recting the massacre of foreigners if they refused to leave the country." Referring to the danger run by a colony so small as that at Yun Nan, he said: "It was so great that I am certain a formal order to massacre us had al ready arrived from Pekln. Fearing our means of defense, the mandarins dared not act, but they tried to hinder our departure by pillaging our hag gage. Finally the fan tai, or secre tary general, proposed to accord to us an authorization to leave on condi tion that we placed hostages in the hands of the Chinese authorities. This I I refused with indignation, declaring j that I Intended to leave June 24, and i that I was ready to cut my way through all obstacles. It was just then that the dispatches from M. Delcasse arrived." Kit* R«»tir«»M Frimi tin* Miim. New York, Aug. 28. —Fitzsimmons and William A. Brady, manager for Jeffries, met yesterday afternoon to arrange a match between the two men.

Atlanta. Aug. 29. —Capt. Frank Cren shaw, Twenty-ninth volunteer infant ry, died here yesterday. Capt. Cren shaw saw service in Cuba and the Phil ippines, and a wound received in the battle of Puto'.a caused his death. Capt. Crenshaw, who arrived in Atlanta a week ago, made a statement to his father, in which he charged outrageous treatment and neglect on board the transport Sherman from Manila for San Francisco. The statement was to the effect that after the vessel left Ma nila, and was on the high seas, officers in the state rooms next to Capt. Cren shaw's complained that he kept them awake by the sufferings from his wound. He was taken from the state room and, paralyzed in the left side and unable to lift his head and almost unconscious, was placed in a berth down in the hold of the ship, near the engines, in the midst of the insane men who were confined there. Capt. Crenshaw said he was unable to hold himself in the berth and fell out three times while the ship was rid ing out storms in the China seas. Ho finally bribed a hospital steward with $25 to give him some attention. At San Francisco Capt. Crenshaw al leges that treatment was refused htm, the surgeon in charge informing him that it was impossible, because of lim ited assistance in the hospital. The wounded officer, accompanied by his uncle, then started for Atlanta, and an operation was performed here. The census of Boston is 560,892, against 448.477 in 1890.

A pocket to hang at the head of a bed | is always useful, and It may be made | quite an ornament also. The one we j illustrate is very pretty, being made In the palest blue silk and velvet of a lit- I tie darker shade of the same color. I The foundation for the back is a stout kind of cardboard cut to the shape of the illustration. For a useful pocket to hold handkerchief, purse, {TOSS notebook or keys it should be about 12 inches In the deepest part and 7% inches across the widest part. Cover tills with blue silk on which is em broidered or painted a wreath of flow ers and a monogram with silk of deli cate shades of pink and green. Line the back with sateen. The part which forms the pocket is of velvet lined with silk. It is cut to lit the point of the back part, but is wid ened out at the top so that it stands away from the back a little. Sew the edges to the back; then trim all round with a frill of the blue silk pinked at the edges. The bows of ribbon are of a medium shade of blue. Of course any colors may be used to suit the bed hangings or the wall paper of the room In which it is used. Housemaids' Ilim*. Scrapbaskets, as has been suggest ed, are a necessity in every room; but if the chambermaid carries them off to empty and forgets to return them they may be the cause of great annoyance. To obviate this have the maid carry to each room a large bag made of silesia, the hem at the top being run onto a metal or wooden hoop. Into this bag each basket is emptied every morning, and, as it never leaves the room, it is, of course, not lacking at the critical moment; nor is it found full to over flowing Just when a bundle of papers needs a home. The bag Is emptied also after It has made its rounds and Is hung up with the brooms and brushes. Ice In Dainty llnsketn.
