SHANGHAI , Aug. C. The rumor to the
effect that the Japanese fleet-had captured
tliroo mcn-of-wnr has not been connrmed.
It Is believed hero Hint the report Is possibly
a rehash of the reports of the prior engage
ments of the fleets. As yet there has been
no disorder In this city growing out of- the
war beyond a tew trifling encounters be
tween Japanese and Chinese rowdies. The
municipal council has appointed a rendez
vous for the volunteers In the event of an
emergency arising that will require their
services , but no anxiety Is felt as to the safe
ty of Europeans. The Japanese- association ,
which Ificludes among Its members the leadIng -
Ing Japanese of Shanghai and vicinity , has
Issued a warning to Japanese residents that
they must behave themselves and avoid any
act that would tend to precipitate a conflict
with the Chinese. They arc particularly
warned to keep away from the Chinese
quarter of the city after dark and to remain
as far as possible within their home.

LONDON , Aug. 5. The abnormal abund
ance of money during the past week com
pelled the joint stock banks to reduce
their allowance on deposits from the pre
vious minimum of 1 per cent to ' , < per cent.
It was even suggested that the IJank of
England should change Its custom and
descend below Its recognized minimum rate
of 2 pur cent. Gilt-edged securities have
attained phenomenal prices , though It
would be rash to predict thtit they h.ive
touched the highest point. The Stock ex
change bus worn n holiday appearance ,
having been cloned for two days. Except
for a drop of a few points In Japanese and
Chinese stocks , the market showed a bet
ter tone generally. Railway and foreign
securities weie llrni. There Is no fear that
the Japanese-Chinese troubles will cause
Kuropean complications. American rail

MANCHESTER , Aug. 5. During the past
week a fair aggregate of business was
done. The greater part of the transactions
were effected early In the week , when the
decline In cotton enabled the execution of a
number of Indian orders. After that the
market became very dull. There was little
freih business nnd the offers made were
nt Very unsatisfactory prices. The running
of mills on short time Is extending. Yarns
were 11-lCd nominally worse , but sellers
were open to negotiation. The production
continues excessive. German spinners are
working their full production easily nt
fairly paying prices. The French cotton
Industry Is well engaged.

Share of the Work ,
WASHINGTON , Aug. G. A review of the
legislation which has been accomplished by
the second session of the Fifty-third con
gress up to nnd Including August 3 shows
much has been done , aside from tha engross
ing tariff struggle , which has largely di
verted public attention from matters which
would , under other conditions , have been
considered of great Importance
One ot the moat Important nets of the ses
sion , which passed both houses by a strict
party vote , being In fulfillment of a plank
of the democratic platform , was the act re
pealing all laws creating federal supervisors
of elections and defining their powers. An
other Important act was that to enable the
people of Utah to form a constitution and
state government and to bo admitted Into
the union on an equal footing with the orig
inal states , and providing the machinery by
which the territory will bo admitted , probably
In December , 1S05.
The act making the first Monday In Sep
tember a legal holiday , to > bo called Labor
day.
Three bills were passed to give effect to
the award of the tribunal ot arbitration at
Paris which adjudicated the seal fisheries
disputes.
Several measures were enacted In accord
ance with the recommendations ot the Dock-
cry commission ( so-called ) for improving and
amplifying the methods of doing the gov
ernment business. Most Important wcro
thcso changing the method of auditing ac
counts In the Treasury department , Improv
ing the methods of accounting In the I'oit-
ofllcc department , and changing the money
order system and that regulating the mak
ing of property returns by the officials of-
the government.
The naval bill empowered the president to
flll vaca'ncles In the grade of ensign or as
sistant engineer by selecting from the grad
uating class of the naval academy where the
vacancies exceed the number of cadets In
the line division or engineer division. Also
that a vacancy In the naval school from a
district which the secretary of the navy Is
called upon to fill must be filled by the ap
pointment of u resident of that district of
two years' standing.
WHERE NEBRASKA COMES IN.
Three of the appropr.atlcn bills have not
yet gone to the president the river and har
bor , the general deficiency and sundry civil.
Incidental to the sundiy civil Is a provision
granting 1,000,000 acres of the surveyed arid
public lands to each of the states to which
the dessrt law Is 'applicable Nebraska , Kan
sas and the territories of Ar zona , New
Mexico , Oklahoma and Utah , to be selected
within ten years.
Five deficiency bills have been necessary
this season. The principal Items In the
first one was | 127GOO for the pay of assist
ant Janitors and' custodians under the Treas
ury department and J20.000 for mileage of
members , the regular mileage appropriation
for the first session having been used during
the special session. The second bill Included
$74G,000 for the Treasury department ,
$300,000 ot It for the customs service ,
$200.000 for the pension service , $300,000 for
the census and $200,000 for public printing.
The third deficiency earned $100,000 fcr the
Treasury department , half of It for enforce
ment of the Chinese exclusion act , with
$316,000 for treasury printing and $50,000
far Improvements to the gunboats Castlne
and Machlas. The fourth carried about $216-
000 for the Treasury department , most of It
for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving ,
and for the United States courts $1,430,000.
The fifth bill , approved June 19 , carried
$165,000 for the public print.ng office and
$185,000 for the customs service. Two reso
lutions appropriating $50,000 and $10,000 for
enforcing the Chinese exclusion act were
approved December 7 , 1S93 , and April 4 ,
1S91. As most cf the appropriation bills
had not passed at the beginning of the fiscal
yea ' , July 1 , It was necessary to extend by
resolution all approprlat.ons fcr the neces
sary operations of the government for pen
sions and for the District of Cslumbla. Th y

Jur.o 30 and fifteen days from July 30.

As a measure of relief to the west during
the business depression the requirement that

$100 worth of labor or Improvement to bo
each year done under penalty of forfeiture
was suspended for the year 1891. The time
for making final proof and payment for all
lands located under the homestead and desert
land law was extended for ono year and the
time for final payments under the preemption
tion act when entrymen are prevented from
making payment from causes beyond their

Testimony of 11 Witness of the 1'croclty of
the J. p Soldier * .
LONDON , Aug. 5.Tho : Times tomorrow
will publish a dispatch frotn Shanghai , stat
ing that Colonel Van Hannefeln , formerly aide-
de-camp to the viceroy , wh6 was among those
rescued from the British steamer Kow Sluing ,
which , while being u ed1 as a transport for
Chinese troops , was sunk by a torpedo from
the Japanese warship Nanawal , has given his
testimony before the commission appointed
to Inquire Into the facts relative to the
sinking of the vessel. Colonel Van Hannekln
said the Nanawal ordered the Kow Shung to
come to anchor , which order was obeyed.
Then the Japanese commander ordered the
transport to hoist her 'snchor , get under way
and follow the Nanawal to japan. As soon
as the substance of this order became known
to the Chinese troops on the Kow Shung they
Insisted that the order bo not obeyed , Inform
ing the officers that they preferred death to
being captured. Captain Galsworthy , the
master of the Kow Shung , explained to the
Japanese commander that the Kow Shung
was a British vessel and' ' staled that she had
left port before hostilities between Japan and
China had been commenced. He offered to
abandon the voyage and , return to China.
After a little time , the Nanawal displayed
signals reading , "Abandon 'the ' ship. " To
this the captain signaled the reply : "Impos
sible ; the troops will not permit me to
leave. "
When this signal was ircad the Nanawal
withdrew for a little further distance fiom
the Kow Shung and discharged a torpedo at
the transport. The torpedo struck the hull
of the Kow Shung and exploded , tearing a
great rent In her bottomt . As the transport
was sinking the Nana.wal fired a broadside
Into her. A half hour' afterward the Nana
wal lowered an armed boat , which cruised
about the place where the transport hud
gone down , firing upon the men who wera
struggling In the water.
* Dispatches received at the foreign office
from Shanghai confirm the Times- dispatch
as to the testimony''felvcn by Colonel Van
Hannekin. The official advices show that
some of the British -officers of , the Kow
Shung Jumped overboahl 'frontthe' vessel nhd
were rescued by boats from the Japanese
warship , ii -
The government has rcpelvcd no confirma
tion of the report , that the emperor of China
has deprived Viceroy LI Hung Chang of the
yellow riding jacket.
TAKirF"S1TUATIO S.
Conferees Asaemlile ami Some Agreement
U Anticipated Within a Few IJuys.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 6. The usual Sun
day quiet of the capltol building was broken
today by assembling of the democratic
conferees at 2:30 : o'clock. All of the demo
cratic conferees were present except Senator
Voorhees , who Is nick , and Chairman Wil
son , who had gone to West Virginia to see
his sick wife. The meeting lasted until C
o'clock and was marked with even more than
the usual secrecy. 'Some of the conferees
declined to admit they 'were together. Others
were moro conimunlcatlyo , , , expalnlng ! ' that
the gathering was duo to the de'slro to ex
pedite a settlement at the earliest moment
possible. S
The meeting resulted In an understanding
that a report should be made one way or the
otier ) agreement orotherwise within the
next seventy-two hours. That It would be
an agreement was not. howevcr , definitely
settled. On this point' the conferees say
they have not yet passed the danger point ,
although they seemed Inoro confident , to
night that It would bo nn agreement.
The discussion turned"on sugar , Iron ore
and cal. The house cotiferees are proceed
ing without reference to the strong opposi
tion to the new sugar schedule by the
Louisiana senators. This opposition may be
overcome , however , by permitting the pres
ent bountv , cr n portion of It , to run until
January 1 next. By postponing the t'me at
which the bounty provisions of the McKlnley
law shall be repealed until January 1 would
operate on the crop about to bo gathered.
Tills , llko all cthors details of the proposl-
tlon , Is not yet agreed upn , but It was men
tioned by one of the conferees tonight as a
fair concession to the Louisiana men and
ono 1 kely to overcome { heir opposition. The
Louisiana senatcrs have said they would be
willing to accept hilf of the bounty for the
prssent year In addition to the duty In the
now compromise schedule.
Some attention has also been given to the
Income tax , and while a final agreement has
not been reached , It Is practically conceded
the senate limit of five years will bo adopted.
It will so recommend Itself that an exten
sion ot tha system will ba enacted at a
subsequent congress. , Efforts are being made ,
however , to extend Yhe.tlma to six or eight
years. < ,

signed by the prcifdenU Borne of these bills
are In conference till , 'but ' If an agreement
on them would bring * n'adjournment It would
not be long delayed , ds'there ' ara no Irrecon

ure other than the tariff'bill and tha appro

to hold the senate tigother for even a day.
The probabilities of tUa week Include a re-
part from the conference committee and
subsequently debate , 'ami slso the presentation
of the conference reports on the sundry , river

the consideration of the calendar when these

bill will come up , and In lieu ot the tariff may
excite considerable -'debate. The republican
senators are In .the condition ot u further

democrats In the senate have pot shown a
disposition to accept the challenge and they
may clicoso to permit the republicans to

WASHINGTON , Aug. 5. There are differ
ences of cplnlon among the treasury ofllclals
as to the probabilities of another bond Issue.
Neither Mr. Carlisle nor Ass slant Secretary
Curtis Is willing to admit that there Is any
real cause for alarm In the present financial
situation. It Is known , however , that the
president and his advisers are watching with
eager Interest every change In the financial
situation and that every phase of It Is being
carefully followed and thoroughly studied ,
Notwithstanding this solicitude It Is believed
It Is the judgment of the president that
the sltuat on docs not furnish any just cause
for apprehension and a change for the batter
Is confidently expected soon. From this point
of view It Is argued a change of the pending
tariff bill Is sure to result In a prompt re
vival of business nnd that In consequence
there will bo a large Increase In the govern
ment revenues. Receipts of customs , which
for many months past have been gradually
growing less , It Is believed will show n
marked Improvement from the first and will
continue to Increase until normal conditions
havs been reached.
It Is con 'en Jed that notwithstanding the
fact the gold reserve had reached the low
water murk of about $52,000,000 , the govern
ment Is really far better able to meet Its
obligations today than It was Just prior 'to
HID February bond Issue. There are some ,
however , who take a less hopeful view of
affairs. They observe the gold reserve ,
which six nlonths ago was brought up to
Its normal condition by an Increase of $50-
000,000 In the public debt , again melting away
and already reduced to a point $13,000,000
below the lowest point reached prior to the
February bond Issue. They contemplate wl h
uneasiness the fact that for a year and more
the ordinary expenses of the government
have largely exceeded the receipts. This was
true even during last month , when , In ex
pectation of a material Increase In the tax
on whisky , the receipts on Internal revenue
were abnormally large. It Is argued that
should the pending tariff bill become a law
and go Into operation even as early as the
middle of the present month , no material In
crease In the revenue could be reasonably
expected earlier than next December for the
reason that the tariff bill will have passed
too late In the season to realize any consider
able amount from the fall Importations. Tht
treasury figures show there Is now In this
country at least a six months' supply of
sugar , so little may be expec ed from that
source. This Is true also of whisky. The
statistics of Internal revenue show the tax
has already been paid on over 13,00OtOOO gallons
lens of whisky In excess of the amount upon
which the tax had been paid ono year ago.
Therefore but little relief may be expected
from this source before December.
The only recourse , therefore , It Is con
tended , will be to a bond Issue , and there
are many well Informed persons who believe
It this congress docs not pass a prohibitive
resolution before adjruonment , $50,000,000 or
morewill soon bo Issued. That there would
be no difficulty in placing any reasonable ,
amount , even at the premium exacted In
February , seems apparent from the fact that
the February bonds are being sold at n
premium of 1.27 per cent.

WASHINGTON , Aug. G. The envoys from
Queen Lllluokalanl , who are In Washington ,
have not yet succeeded in obtaining an audi
ence with President Cleveland. They have
begun to lay their case before members of
congress who belong to the senate and house
committees on foreign affairs. They do net
conceal their disappointment over the cool
ness of the administration towards them , and
although careful to say nothing acrimonious ,
they convey the understanding very plainly
that they think President Cleveland Is treatIng -
Ing them rather shabbily. In view of his
former attitude toward the defunct Hawaiian
monarchy.
Messrs. Parker , Cummlngs , Wldemann
and their associates had an Interview today
with a prominent member of the house com-
mltteo on fore'gn affairs. The royalist en
voys were not very clear In their state
ments of what they expect to accomplish
by their visit to America. They said they
expected to stay here until President Cleve
land gives them definite Information of his
Intentions' towards Hawaii. They said that
the president had abruptly broken off his
efforts for the restoration cf the queen , which
they understood that ho had determined
upon , and never had given the royalists any
Information regarding his position and In
tentions fcr the future. The envoys com
plained that Minister Willis cherished an
undue friendship for the republic. As one of
them put It : "Ho Is Just as bad as Stevens.
Ho Is quick to think with Dole and Dole
now has him completely under his domina
tion. "
" \Vlllls moves In the same church
c rcles with the leaders of the republican
government ; Is socially Intimate with them ,
and has become to bo regarded as a member
of their circle , " was a further statement of
the representatives of the royalists.
"Will you tell what tort of a president
Dele Is ? " the member of congress Inqu red
of the delegation.
Mr. Parker , who was the queen's minister
of foreign affairs , replied : "No cno knows Dele
better than I do , and I am prepared to s'ay
that he Is upright , able , thoroughly honest
and conscientious. "
Ono of the envoys remarked that Clans
Spreckles Is still a supporter of the mon
archy , and had not yet been reconciled to
the republic. The Interview closed without
any statement to Indicate that the mission
has any financial object to attain.
The Associated press reporter Interviewed
Mr. Wldemann today after his visit to Sec
retary Clrcsl'iam. He told ; "I laid the

Inside Illntory of the rrcnorlptlon of
Miliiimlstx In Catholic Suelctlr * .
COLU.MI1US , O. , Aug G. To nil Associated
press reporter today Illshop Wattcrson gave
some Interesting Instdo history leading up
to his now famous pastoral letter on total
abstlnencj nnd Catholic societies In relation
to manufacturers and venders of Intoxicants.
A week before Thanksgiving last year a
member of ono of the Columbus societies be
longing to the Knights of St. John's
union told the bishop of preparations making
In their society for an entertainment at Which
beer was to ba sold and promiscuous danc
ing Indulged In. After reproving the mem
bers , the bishop received a promise that the
objectionable feature would be omitted. Not
withstanding this the entertainment was held
as originally Intruded. When the bishop
learned of this violation he refused to longer
recognize the members of the society as
Catholics.
In December , at the regular election of
the society , saloon keepers , regardless of the
bishop's wishes , were elected president and
captain respectively. The bishop thereupon
warned the members If these olllcers were
Installed he would deprive the wjiole division
'
of Its rank and privileges ns a 'Catholic so
ciety. The society thereupon resolved to con
sult the supreme president of their union.
This the bishop knew of only after the appeal
was made. During n visit to Mgr. Satalll
In February , Illshop Wattcrson , In the mean
time having heard a rumor that an appaal
had been made , asked the delegate If such
was the case. Mgr. Satolll answered In the
negative , and the bishop decided to wait an
other month.
The very day , ho says , on which the
pastoral letter was Issued , he was served by
the apostolic delegate with the appcil of
the society referred to and the correspond
ence with the local president relating thereto.
The bishop's action In regard to the s > oc cty
was upheld by Satolll. The scclety was not
satisfied , however , nnd hearing tint the dele
gate was to visit Columbus In June , drew up
i second appeal , which they asked the bishop
to sign , that It might go canonlcally to the
delegate.
While this was go'ng on In Columbus the
national convention of Knights of St. John
was taking place In Buffalo , nnd a few dele
gates frcm Columbus attempted the unprece
dented thing of arraigning a bishop before
a convention of laymen. The majority of the
delegates were against such action , however.
The second rtecls on of the delegate Is dated
July 3 and addressed to the secretary of the
protesting society.
MgiSatclll first lays dtwn the general
pr nclple that , "as It belongs to the office of
a bishop to find out In his own diocese what
Is hurtful or helpful to the spiritual good of
tlia-faithful , so It belongs to his power to
command , forbid , counsel or permit to bo
done or to be removed whatever he may
judge contrary to his own duty and the good
of the faithful. The letter of the right rev-
crened bishop of Columbus concern ng Cath
olic scletlcs' disposition to abstain from In
toxicating liquors ought by no means to bo
the subject of discussion of every private
Individual or every assemblage of s'mplo
Catholics or citizens , but every Catholic of
good conscience must hold fr certain that
the bishop has commanded those things
which seem for the greater good of the
faithful and the honcr of every Catholic
society. "
Then , as the Judge to whom the appeal
was made , ho says : "Therefore , these things
which the right reverend bishop
has commanded In his deorte I
approve nnd I decide ' that they
are to be observed : but If perhaps they for
the time being seem t9 hurt the material
condition of the few , they will have to be
patlen ly borne for the good of the many
and for the honor of our holy Catholic
church. "
The bishop says he Inserted the wedge of
reform and those who are affected by the
decision got the apostolic delegate , glory to
him , to drive it In.

Not less than 10,000 people wcro crowdeil
Into the grounds to witness the game. Every
seat In the grand stand nnd bleachers was
occupied and a large crowd of men and boys
had taken positions on the Held. The game
had advanced to the seventh Inning , when
n cry of flro was heard from the bleachers ,
and a thin veil of tnioke was seen creeping
through the cracks of the grand stand. The
cry was taken up on all eldcs , nnd In a short
time n terrible panic ensued. All the four
exits leading from the grand stand wcro
jammed with men and boys and also a
sprinkling of women. The exits were not
large enough to permit the throng to go
through , and hundreds of men sought to
Jump over the barbed wire fence Into the
ball grounds.
The first reaching the fence scaled It suc
cessfully , but those tluit followed , In their
anxiety to get to safe quarters , tried to
crawl through and In nearly every Instance
became wedged between the wire and their
clothing was torn in shreds and hands and
legs were lacerated by the sharp barbs.
When the lire department arrived the entire )
GO-ccnt stands on Lincoln street and also a
portion of the grand stand were n mass ol
flames. The flro spread rapidly and the
small force of firemen which responded to
the first alarm were unable to cope with the
flames.
The heat from the flames was so Intensa
the firemen were unable to get within twenty ,
yards of It. Kdwntd Ahcarn , a fireman , en
deavored to roach the ball ground by going
through a portion of the burning stand.
His clothes caught flro and he was compelled
to retreat , badly burned.

canio wedged In the barb wire fence , se
verely cutting his hands and legs. Several
others who followed fell on top of him ,
smothering him into unconsciousness. Dart-
lett was removed to the county hospital ,
whereIt was found his leg was broken and
he was badly bruised.
For an hour after the first alarm many
physicians were kept busy attending the In
jured. > Twenty or more went to the1 county
hospital to have their wounds dressed , but
nil save Ahcarn and Dartlstt were able ta
leave as soon ' " 3 their Injuries were attended
to. After nn hour's work , the blaze was
under control.
The damage was about $ -1,000 , The flro
was caused by a cigarette thrown among
the combustible material under the stands.
