Vauoocteb, B. C, Sept 26. The
steamship Empress of China arrived
from Hon,? Kong and brings the follow
ing advices.
J. A. Leonard, United States consnl
geneialat Shanghai, telegraphed Ad
miral Helknap September 3: "A Shan
. ghai morning paper has a telegram re
ceived saying there was a riot at Ichang
at noon September The mission and
all foreign property was burned; no
lives lDSt." Aciu'.ral Belknap 6ent im
mediately the Alliance and I'aloe to
Yang Tse.
A special to the Japan Mail of Sep
tember 3, says a rioi occurred at Ichang.
All the foreigners' property at this
point was burned, but no lives lost.
Foreign residents are under arms.
A few cases of cholera have appeared
in Kiobe, Japan, and a general break
out is feared Twelve cases are reported
in Yamaga Chi, with four deaths.
A landslide occurred near Togiro
September 2, burying twenty workmen.
Four perished.
In Oita prefecture, Japan, 3,000 eases
of dysentery are reported, with 700
deaths.
During the celebration of the Feast
of Lanterns at Jokotecbo, Akita pre
fecture, a bridge fell owning to the pres
sure of the throng, and more than 1XI
people were precipitated into the water.
Over twenty were injured and several
lives were lost.
.London, Sept. 2C. A dispatjh to the
Times from Singapore says: r-hanghai
advices to Sept. 12 prove that the
Ichang riot was an organized outbreak
on the Dart of Hunan Boldiers. The
central government was powerless to
quell the riot, except by tending troops
from a distance and risking civil war.
As gunboats asceud the Ichang a mer
chant steamer will take the British
murines. Placards issued to students
in Nankin accuse Christians of gross
crimes. People at the treaty ports say
that nothing but the landing of a well
armed force of foreigners will quell the
troubles.
A dispatch to the times from Foo
Chow says that a secretly organized
scheme to capture the arsenal has been
discovered by foreigners employed
there. Foreign residents consider the
presence of a gunboat imperative.
They Will DliOmnd.
Trimdad, Cole, Sept. 26- The mem
bers of the Trinidad fire department are
having a big demonstration, which will
laEt until midnight, when the apparatus
will be turned over to the city and the
various companies disbanded. This
leaves the city without any protection
against Are. The action of the tire boys
is due to the fact that the city council
refused to compensate them for time
put in at the fires. Headed by the
bund playing a dirge, the four com
pazine marched through the principal
streets, the boee carte draped in mourn
ing. At the head of the prosession was
a transparency representing a coffin.
The citizens are in sympathy with the
members of the department, who have
been very shabbily treated. The only
recourse for the city now is to oigani.e
a paid department.
A Terrible Murder.
Dcrasoo, Colo., Sept. 26. Edwin liny,
a miner, returned home from bis work
nd upon entering the cabiu found bis
wife lying upon tbe floor of their bed
room dead. Her brains had been beaten
out with a bammer, tbe blood scattered
over tbe room showing she bad not died
without a terrible struggle. Tbe things
in the room were disarranged but noth
ing stolen, which proves that the pur
pose was not robber'- On the kitchen
table was a note from tbeir 20-year-old
son Ralph saying hia mother had been
murdered and he had gone to capture
the inurdeters if it took him ten years.
Some think be is the guilty person,
while others believe that he also Las
been murdered and that tbe note was
left for the purpose of leading the offi
cials to believe that be committed the
crime.

Watbrivoo, la., Sept. 24. -A petition
asking the appointment of a receiver
' for the Life Indemnity and Investment
company of Siou City was filed in the
district court. The petition is lengthy,
alleging various misdemeanors of the

A NEW CLASS OF CIT12EN
EoflUh, Reottk, and Tanadlaa CettlaJ
KaturallEaU.
The movement anion; Enilbhmen,
Scotchmen, and Canadians throujruout tie
xmnury to become ciuzcni is one of great
jnporiance. They constitute the only
jalionalities or nationality, for they are
practically one who show a high order of
auelligence. and who yet have to a large
: txteut retrained irom luucumying uiem
I wives fully with their adopted country,
t Their number is rnvuer than m iuv real
ize. It is iiinuted tbut there are in
Massachusetts more than L'i.OOU unnatural
ized Kneiblunen and Scotchmen. In the
City of New Haven alone there arc said to
be 3,St'J. The chief center of interest in
:hia qutstlon just now is 1 hirnrro, where
aine Enirlish societies are co-operating to
ward tais end, and expert the .Scotch,
Welsh, and Canadians to join th"rn. The
figures of the size of these element are
necessarily only approximated, but they
show that this movement may have a de
cidedly appreciul lc effect upon the vote
in that city. There are said to be 10,l0
male adult Canadians in Chicago, of
whom only 1,21 H) arc naturalize!, ruJ 10,
.D0 English and bcotch men, of whom
even a smaller proportion are believed to
be citizens. Even allowing for exaspera
tion in these figures, it w.ll be seen that
this element might do a pood dad morn
than hoid the balance of power in some of
our cities, ar.d with their vote cajt uu the
tide of public honesty and municipal econ
omy, as most of them doubtless would be,
they could cxerciso a great influence for
gxd. In the public utterances thus far
made by these bodies in diiierent parts of
the luion they have shown themselves
strong friend of the common school sys
tem, and especially determined to check
public corruption.
Americans, and all patriotic citizens,
will giadly welcome this new element into
the great fraternity of citizenship. The
very strength of their attachment to the
mother country, which has probably been
their chief reason for continuing their al
legiance to her so long, will make
them the best American citizens when they
have once been naturalized. They are
among the moat intelligent of our alien
residents. I heir traditional sturdmess
will make them independent in political
action. No one will ever hear of a Hosa
carrying the English, or Bcotch, or Cana
dian vote in his pocket It is only fair to
ray, at the same time, that their assump.
liou of their lull duties as American citi
zens has been delayed long enough. It is
time that they should vote, serve on luries
and perform the order of duties of citizen
ship with the rest of us. When so many
of the vexatious problems of our National'
life arise from the presence In the country
of great numbers of uneducated and even,
lawless foreigners, It would be eminently1
appropriate, to say the least, that all Intel J
ligent and law-abiding foreigners should
do whatever lies in their power to help
along the cause of good government.
The proportion of the English element
in our population is not fully realized, per
haps, by many. The censusof 1170 showed
1.030,7o3 persons born in the British Em
pire, including British America but ex
cluding Ireland. Iu other words, the',
number of persons born on the soil of
Great Britain and the Colonies was only'
219,816 less than the number born in Ire
laud. In New York City there were by
the censusof 1W0 more than 46,000 per
sons born in Great Britain and the Colo
nics, excluding Ireland. How many of
these are naturalized?. It would be inter
esting to know. In Philadelphia there
were more than 35,000 such persons. At
the present time these figures would need
to be considerably increased, as the immi
gration from the British Empire has been
large during the last ten years. It hat
reached a point where it much exceeds the
immigration from Ireland. Up to the 1st
of August there were 9,500 more Immi
grants from Great Britain this year than
from Ireland, as shown by the figures of
the Bureau of Statistics. Obviously, the
British-Americans can be a power in our
politics and in a way which no one can
find any fault.
A llrnve Defence.
A Manitoba paper contains the follow
ing accouut of a brave little boy's defence
of a wounded brother, who was attacked
by a cougar. John Kodenberger is a farm
er who lives near Shelton's Point. YV. T.,
and his four children the youngest 4 and
the eldest 9 go to school. The school
house Is on the road between Big and Lit
tle Bhookum Bays.
The other afternoon, while the children
were going home, they were startled by an
awful screech, and the next instant a big
cougar launched himself from the over
banging limb of a tree, right upon 6 years
old Jesse, who was sturdily tramping be
hind the other children.
The little boy was dashed to the ground
and the heavy paw of the cougar peeled
his scalp down over the right side of his
face, and lacerated the cheek and ear.
But the cougar had no chance to do further
barm.
John Rodenbcrger, 8 years old, had
been walking juat in front of Jesse, car
rying a big bottle, in which had been the
milk that formed part of the children's
luncheon. He threw himself upon the
cougar, grabbed him by the ear with one
hand, and struck him with the bottle as
hard as he could. The animal raised its
head from its victim, and Johnny gave It
another blow with the bottle. It reared
to attack the brave boy. but another blow
nearly knocked him over, and with a yell
it turned and tied.
The children took tbe wounded boy
home, and the neighbors set out to hunt
the cougar. They found and killed It
near the place where it had attacked the
children. It was fullgrown, and measured
nearly nine feet from tip to tip.
Wonderful Production of Dakota.

New Vukk, Sept. 25. A Washington
special says: It is reported here thai
the administration H considering the
advisability of making overatures fr
the acquisition of the island of St.
Thornac, V. I., as a naval and commer
cial station. The Mole St Nicholas is
still looked ur on with favor, but in tbe
light of d'flic iittes encountered in secur
ing it, tin re is a ft !ing aaiongthe ciem
tiers of the admin at ration that we had
better turn our attention in the interim
to St. Thomas, which Admira! Porter
referred to 83 the kiytne of the W tst
Indies, and which is rartie.1 by many
naval experts as tne most desirable site
in that section for a naval station.
It has been known for some time that
Germany has its eye on this harbor, an J
it i6 doubtlees with a view of cl.wk
matiiig the inperial government thit
the administration is now moving in th
matter. It is understood that the
negotiations have now reached a point
wuero the United States bus been yivou
the refusal of the is'and at ntcut .he
8'iiue price it was offered io ltC7. Pres
ident Harris n wiil no doubt rocommetd
iu Ins annual message to congress r,ex".
December a sufficient appropriation for
the purchase.
The advantages of this island as a
rendezvous for our West Ind aequaurun
have long boon recognized. It lies right
io the track of all veiBois from Europe,
Brazil, West Indies and the Pacific
ocean. It is the central point from
which any or all of the West Indies can
be assailed, while it is iinprevious to
attacks from landing parties and can be
fortified to any extent at a men normal
cost It has often beea referred to as a
small Gibrulter t.tat ould only be
attacked by a naval for.e. Being sur
rounded by reefs and breakers, there is
no opportunity for landing troops, and
every point near which a vessel or boat
could upproach is a natural fortification.

A ItlondleMi Iiuh.
Guthrie, Okl., Sept. 20. The blood
shed that was looked for in connection
with the opening of landa to settlement
did not come. A couple cf cowbovs
told u negro that ho had better move
on, as thay had killed a couple of
negroeB already. The frightened
darkey, fresh from Texas, who spread
the story, and as it went down the line
it was that two men had been killed.
A dozen other stories of the same na
ture occupied the tongues of everybody.
Only a fe v tenderfsec believed it. The
rush was not accompanied by a single
killing.
The negro colonists were not very
successful in the rush. A few of them
got good claims, but in a majority of
cases a white man will contest the
claim. Three, or four negroes would
settle on a claim and will prove up 40
acres each, but the white men all want
1G0.
Chicago, 111., Sepr. 25. Adjutant
General McKeever of General Miles'
staff, received a diapatch from Colonel
Wade, the commandent at Fort Reno,
saying everything was peaceful among
the boomers in the Cherokee strip and
he would return to hie post. General
McKeever discredits the report that
serious trouble has occurred among tbe
home seekers.
"There are five companies of cavalry
and three companies of infantry on the
uround ti be ready to quell any dis
turbance." said General McKeever, "and
I am sure if any one had been killed we
should have been apprised of it. The
truth of the matter is the boomers and
other people down there would rather
lie than tell the truth, and it is, I have
no doubt, the way the report of con
flicts originated."
Wh it Will Itie Ilialiop Say?
New i ork, Sept. '25. A question of
great interest to the Koman Catholic
church and its relations to secret soci
eties has been revived by a dispatch
from Addison, If. V., stating that one
Dennis U'Keefe of that place was at once
a Catholic entitled to all the privileges
tf the churcbrand an Odd Fellow in
good standing. It is stated that the
question as to raising the ban against
certain secret societies had been referred
to Archbishop Corrigan. The Archbis
hop is nt present out of town, but
Father L .Voile, his secretary, said that I
while be could not say positively as to
Archbishop Corrigan's decision in this
particular case, he believed that it was
no longer against the law of the Roman
Catholic church to be an Odd Fellow.
