The country around Peking is Hooded. Orders have been given by the government not to attempt to drain the waters on the plain. This Is in order to prevent a Japan ese ad vanes. Advices from New Chuang , China , say that on September 1 the British steamer Peltunc , which was taking on a cargo lor Japan , waa ordered to stop the work ot loadIng - Ing by the nuthrides On September 2 twelve Japanese women and the Japanese conrul went on the vessel In distress. All the houses of the women had been destrojed , nnd they had been robbed and maltreated by Chinese soldiers. The women had been rescued and hidden by Kuropeans They were taken to the vessel two and three at a time In disguise The steamer was soon surrounded by boats full -of Chinese seeking ti get hold of the refugee ! ! . Two soldiers actually boarded the vessel , but they were quickly ejoctul. No further attempt to get aboard was made. In the afternoon ot the second day a military olllccr came off to the steamer anil advised the ship t leave port that night , otherwise the authorities might possibly be unable to prevent trouble.

C. , Sept 9. The Northern Pacific liner Sikh , from Yokohama , brings Interesting advices of the war In the Orient. The reason given by the commander of the Japanese warship NanUval Kan , when asked why he fired upon the Kovv Shung , seeing she was flying the British flag. Is now given for the first time , and Is certilnty pertinent , "Because she was sailing under false colors ; was carrying Chinese troops and hud been sold to the Chinese government and fully paid for. " Notwithstanding this explanation , the name paper which gives It publicity an nounces that the mini of $750,000 has been agreed to by the Japanese government as reparation for the sinking of Captain Gill- worthy's vessel and compensation to those dependent upon the Kuropeans lost with her Roth China and Japan are nt prcscnl keenly alert for articles contraband of wui and to this the delay In the nrilval of UK Sikh hero Is attributable. The govcrntnenl has declined , to consider rice ns a contra band of war , but both belligerents claim II to be such and use every endeavor to inter ccpt rice carrying vessels. The Sikh wa ! detained at Shanghai by a Chinese gunboat which made an effort to gain possession ol the rice portion of her cargo. The Drills ] consul objected and the merchantman \ : allowed to proceed. It is almost impossible to get reliable wai news anywhere In the east , even at Shang hal. This trip the steamer passed very close to the Poocliow fortn and saw the Chlnesi garrison drawn up In line. They were al attired in flowing sack gowns of gaudy calo and had on high , three-cornered silk tuit and presented a curious spectacle.

Most of the men enlisted am drafted into the Chinese army are coolie of the low order. The Chinese have beei offering great inducements to Ruropcans ani Americans to enter their service , and hav secured many. On the other hand , th Japanese v.111 have no outsiders In any br.inc of tl.u service. On the way over on the last trip lo th Orient the Sikh pas&cd through n. fleet c twenty Japanese ships.

At the session of the hygienic congress an Interesting paper on cholera was read by Dr. Krnest Harts lie argued the disease csme from the valley of the Ganges , where , there Is an utter dis regard ot sanitary precautions and where the people habitually drink polluted water. Dr. Harts said It seemed certain pcrsns could tench or even rub cholera patients with Im punity. The danger consists of the swal lowing of the bacillus , which the doctor contended live two lives , one In the human boxly , multiply tig within the patient anil injured forth by him abundantly , and the other outsldo the body. In damp ground , dirty ttntcr , etc. , to ba ssvallovvcd by s'nio ono else In order to start again its destruct ive course. Cholera , he said , Is spread broadcast by pilgrims to Mecca and else where. The government of fivilla must watch thu fairs and festivals In that countiy , and Europe , by International agreement , should guard the pilgrim by Isolating early cases. The sultan ot Turkey cuglit to adopt meas ures for the thorough sanitation of Mecca , which Is a nursery of dialers. Upon the conclusion of the reading cf tlis papci a resolution was adopted expressing the full approval by the congress of the Dresden convention respecting the disease Some dlsagiccrnnt ensued regarding a num ber of resolutions submitted owing to the fact nuny of them were not tratislat d , and were apparently not umlersto d by a mijorlty of those present. At an early Mage of the dlbcussion Dr Billings , who rrpre'ents the American government and several scientific b dies , energetically protested against the vvholesala adoption of re > .olutlon . that were unexplalnpd anil Imp-rfectly understood , and urged that nn Intern it'onal con- Kr ss of this kind should only pass resolutions regarding which a general consensus ot opinion existed He would object to every resolution and chal lenge the batch. The voting had Increased the confusion and resolutions were now re jected for no apparent re-ison. Ur Billings then read his protest and said that while there were 2,500 members < t the congress , resolutions will be passed by a vote- of thirty or forty He demanded the number of votes on each resolution be recorded ( Cheers ) . The president thoiciipon ordered a count rf delegates nnd found elghly-slx were present. Dr Lowe of VI nna said tlut In its present conduct the meeting was simply destrojlng the work of yeara Important resilutlons were being rejected because only a few dele gates were acquainted with the subjects A tosolution was sh rtly aftPruard adopted relating to thu compulsory Insu'ance ot cat tle. Ui Billings protested that this was not a hygienic , but a commercial question The resolution was rejected. Another proposal to appoint an Interna tional committee to make stud'es ' for on In ternational phurnmcopae was submitted , Dr. H'lllriKS said the question was for a medical or phniniaceutlcal congress. This congress , he d > 'i-lnrrd , might as well prop se to pass resolutions bc-ailiiK on International law. ( Cli.cxs ) . 'I tie resolution was rejected. Other Irrelevant resolutions met a similar fate. The attendance nt the sessions gradually dwindled until today when adj urmnent was had it waa less than fifty.

"Ccmrades" and friends have been flocking Into Ftttsburg all day and night , taking complete posses sion of the city. It Is estimated that on the night before the opening1 ot ( he twenty-eighth nat'onal encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at least 100,000 visitors are here , and tomorrow's arrivals will greatly swell that number. A copkus shower fell this afternoon , clearlnft the atmosphere and tendering the licit so sight-seeing has been iruulo pleasant. The saloons were closed , of course , but other business was transacted In a way which made ths average citizen Imagine he was away from homo v.siting some ether place not KO stiff In tha observ ance cf the blue laws. The universal comment of the \lsltors re garding the decorations and display of pa triotism Is that at no time In the past at an encampment has Plttsburg been outdone As the different visiting posts arrive they are met by escorts detailed from the local regiments of the national guard , and with tl > lni ; colors and bands playing arc talcan to the places assigned them and cheered to Iho tcho by the throngs on the sidewalk. Up to a late hour tonight no accidents have been reported Tlio naval veterans who arrived today are established In quarters on the river on steamers fitted up especially f r the r use. Old tlmcg certainly are being revived to them , for they observe the strict est discipline on their "ships , " and seem to bo enjoying It ti the full rUO.M DOM3 S DOMINION. Among the noted arrivals today were two men from Honolulu. They represent the full mtmbprshlp of the Grand Army of the He- public In Hawaii , and were dUeimined to bo present at Mie lust encampment which they will likely enjoy. The Women's Belief corps headquarters In the Monongahcla house was a place of ac tivity all day. No business was transacted , tbut as each rnemb-r of the c rps would arrive i she was taken to headquarters and made to I leel at home. Among the arrivals of this corps today are Mrs A. A. Cheney of De troit , national treasurer , and Mrs. Kllzab'tli D Kinney of San rranclsco. past national president. About the cnly matter that would be called disagreeable in connection with the cjicamp- mcnt so far is the fcltng of bitterness among tliei Grand Army of the Republic people at the action of the railroads In refusing a 1 "cent a mlle rate for nearby towns , thereby keeping down the number of visitors at least 20.000. It has cropped out that the subject will be Introduced In the convention and a resolution offered , backed by the delegates from Pennsylvania and Ohio , to the effect that hereafter no encampments will hi held , but that the delegates , 1,200 In number , meet and transact necessary business at the ex pense of their respective pests , without asking favors from the ralhoads The veterans can not understand why In the past Columbus and Milwaukee were granted the 1 cent rate and Plttsburg denied It. From what can be learned , the Cleveland people are leading the rtv-lt. It Is not l.noi\n how the icsolutlon will be received. The first fatality among the veterans to be reported Is. the sudden death of Comrade Louis Treasler of McClnro , Pa. He was a men her of post 355. On arrival at the post headquarters Treaslcr was completely ex hausted and died of a weak heart within flf- ten mlniitea after reaching the building. The principal arrivals ars : Commander-ln- Chlef Adams and staff , ex-Commaniler-ln- Chief Alger ot Michigan , State Commander William Emsllo and twenty-five posts from Pennsylvania , numbering : 1,000 men ; IlsndPi post of Philadelphia , fifty men ; Quarto-master General Louis Wagner.

WESTERN MEN ARRIVE.

Utah men are also friendly , but theli first duty Is to secure the election of Dr Illff as national chaplain.

The governor pioposes n remedy for ( inching In the south. Iti an interview he was asked : "What would , do you think , bo the ultimate remedy In the south as to the war between the races ? " "I think we have the remedy now In having ns spe dy a trial m possible to remedy the matter as much as possible. I would suggest tint It will bo advisable to conllne the c guilty of such a crime In the peniten tiary at once as soon ns they are arrested until a court of Justice can ha held anil give them n fair trial. That would put them beyond the reach of Ijnchcrs. " "You believe that would do away here after with all lynching' ? " "No , sir ; I do not. I can't say that , but that would be a step In the right direction to protect the man s life tram lynching , to put him In the penitentiary right away , or us soon as possible , ai.J give him n speedy trial It is exceedingly tortiimtD for the white women of our cduntry that the men do not reid the- northern papers or they would mistake the conduct of the papers as I n dars lug their conn-p. Of course , I consider It exceedingly fortunate that those guilty of the crime of assault do not read the northern papers or there would be moro assault * committed , and If they condemned the fact of assault more , nnd lynching less , it would have a better effect " "And at the same time you do uc' want to condone Ivnchlng- all ?

CHAMBERLAIN. S. D. , Sept. 9 ( Special to The Bee. ) During the past few years hundreds ot two and three-Inch artesian wells have been sunk by farmers In Yankton , Bon Homme , Clay and other counties In the extreme southeastern portion of the state , and the Investments have proved profitable , furnishing sulllclcnt water for successful Irrigation , thus render ing Kooil crops a wrtulnty. The drouth this season has aroused the fa/mcrs In this sec tion of South Dakota to the importance of possessing nt least one each of these small wells , and a number of farmeis In this county aic now talking ot having wells of this character put down. llrule county has luuily twenty large artesian wells belonging to the tovvublilrm. 1hpie are found to do very well In the way of furnishing water for block purposes and create living streams through the various townships , but they are inadequate for a general system of lirlga- tlon. In order to be partially Independent of them Individual farmers will sink artesian wells of their own , of smaller size , but stljl suiUclently large tq furnish ample water for irrigating the land which they cultivate each season. Without fear ot contradiction it-cau.be said that any farmer who has upon Ills laiid n two or three-Inch artesian1 wejl and knows ho to Use the water Intelligently is a king among farmers nnd can raise good crops each season , regardless of tlie amount ot rainfall. During the coming winter and spring hundreds of these wells will be sunk , Inarlous portions of South Dakota. MOK.lt II' I1) ( USVKlt IL. llglitnli > K nnd Wlml ! > < > < ! r.it Oiuingo In lonn.
