An Insurrection lias broken out nt ChniiK-
ahan , In the Shantung province , sulllclently
formidable to beat back the detachment of
troops sent from AVel-Ilal-Wel to quell the
disturbance. There Is no evidence that the
outbreak has any political significance ,
though hints to that effect appear In the
Chinese newspapers The general distress
In the neighborhood and the apprehension of
famine sufficiently account for popular dis
orders In more than ono locality. Fears
nro expressed In the north of China that the
btipply of rice will be Insufllclent , not only
for the people at large , but even for the
demands of tlio army and navy. The
Grand canal route from the southern rice
growing districts Is blocked above Chin-
Klnng , nnd doubts have arisen as to the
practicability ot ttansporlliiR grain by fcca
Hy a singular error of Judgment , the
Pckln government has Included rice In the
list of contraband articles , a circumstance
which would be turned heavily to the dis
advantage ot Kuropean ships had they not
since received an order that the grain
uhlppeil In neutral vessels must not be con
sidered contraband. Even uniler this rul
ing , the dllllculty of securing ships for the
bervlce Is great , nnd the conveyance uf food
to the Chinese troops In Corea , across the

The case > ot two alleged Japanese spies
who have been given up by the United States
consul general at Shanghai to almost certain
dentil at the hands of the Chinese attracts
mucli attention and causes no little Ill-
feeling among Americans nnd Huropeans In
China. These young men had for some
time been pursuing their studies In Shanghai ,
and like the majority ot the Japanese resi
dents , were In the habit of wearing Chinese
dress. With the Idea of serving their coun
try In some Indefinite way , they undertook
at ihe outbreak of the war to collect In
formation which they thought would bo valu
able to their government. Wliat they gave
to the government has not yet transpired ,
but It Is charged that they made drawings of
defenses , In consequence ofvhlch they were
arrested by native offlcers In the French
qt crier. Upon the Japanese consulates clos
ing It was rumored that all Japanese re
maining In the country should look to local
representatives of the United States for such
aid nud advice as could be unotndally vouch
safed i\p1anatlona were given that no
absolute protection could be- extended , but in
the hope that something might be dona to
rescue these foolhardy young men from their
perilous position they weto handed over
from the Trench consul to the American con
sul general , In spite of the protests and de
mands of the Chinese governor , who Insisted
on their surrender. Mr. Jernlngham , con-
uul general , soon discovered the suspected
men had no connection vtlth the Japanese
authorities and that they acted wholly upon
their own responsibility. It Is understood
that after due Investigation he was disposed
to ship them to Japan , but on reporting the
Incident to Washington , he received peremp
tory Instructions , to deliver them to Chinese
custody. This , the telegraph announces ,

LONDON , Sept. 25. A dispatch from Her-
lln to the Times states a member of the
Chinese legation In an Interview said China
cannot abandon Corea , even If the war
should last thirty years. Besides , he added ,
theCoreans are still hostile to the Japanese ,
as Is proven by their refusal to concede the
Japanese demand that they cut off their long
hair , as a sign of submission. The Japanese ,
he further sold , have done everything to
wound the feelings of the Chinese. Directly
the Chinese minister had left Toklo at the
outbreak of the active hostilities , the Japan
ese destroyed the Chinese legation and Iludd-
hlst temple , , besides setting fireto and de
stroying Chinese club houses and residences
and murdering helpless Chinese In the
streets.
Count Aokl scouts the Idea of any cessa
tion of hostilities. In an Interview he flatly
denied that the Chinese had been murdered
or their property debtroyed at ToMo. On
the other hand , he said , the Chinese- had In
sulted the Japanese minister at Tlen-Tiln
and had massacred fifty liirr.iless Japanese
laborers who were working In the camphor
fields In Coren. It was also untrue , he de
clared , that the Japinese had demanded that
the Coreans cut thoii hair. The" king and
the people of Corea have been friendly with
the Jap-iuese since the battle- near Asan.
In conclusion the count said the * Japinese
le-ulers would perhaps have a hard task to
Invide China , but they were detcimined to
pei severe
The 1 lines this morning publishes a leadIng -
Ing article , In which It says- Japan has al
ready effected enough to convince Intelligent
men the world over that henceforth they
must reckon with a new power In the far
east. Ping Y.mg and Yalu have opened the
eyes of all not willfully Indifferent or blind
that a now slate has taken her rank In the
hlciaichy of nations and that her voice
can no longer be Ignored In their councils
The Nova Vremvn , the Times adds , ic-
minds us that Unas a sllll hankers for the
possession of a secure open harbor on the
Pacific. Such a possession would be a
great menace to both Hnglnnd nnd Japan ,
who arc l.Kely lo be found standing side by
side pn tome Impoitnnt points should tlic
powers Inlentne In the present dispute.
In another article discussing the war the
Times calculates the Japanese will ce-tiluly
reach Wljti from Ping Yang at the end of
tills vvock , and that they will meet the
Chinese troops thnt were landed on the
Corcan bank of the Yaln river by Admiral
Ting. It Is nqt clear , the Times adds ,
whether the Chinese transports had time ( o
disembark their Uores. At any rate th ?
condition of the Chinese column must be
precarious , and there seems nothing to
prevent a Japanese squadron from revisit
ing the mouth of the Ynlu and destroy ins
nny Chinese transports remainingthere. .
Further it will be easy for the Japineae.to
move troops from Ping Yang by pea to the
Yalu , and then shift their base of opera
tions further north , thus supplying relnfoice
ments lo the column marching northward
from Ping Yang. This Is olmoM certain lo
be done If an advance into Manchuria is
Intended

Whether or not such defenses as Mukden
passesscs would prove formlOe.bl'1 to the
Japanese artillery , the fighting power of the
Chinese would show to the best advantage
In the defense of a walled city. On tlie
whol = , difficulties and uncertainties , may still
deter the Japanese commander from cmbiil-
Ing upon such an adventure. The pacifica
tion and administration of Corea would them
selves absorb the energies of a largo mili
tary force during tli * winter. With regard
to the naval tattle , the damage Inflicted
might have been done In the days of the
"seventy fours " Of ramming we hear noth
ing and It Is not clear that torpedo's played
any effective part , while it li tolerably cer
tain the story of their deflection by Chinese
nets Is wholly mythical As to the political
outcome of the struggle , the r strlctions
which have converted Yokohama Into a kind
of Gibraltar cannot be much longer retained
agilnst the aspirations of a powerful naval
and military nation too long subjected to
trammels. Unpleasant ns the changed con

WASHINGTON , Scj > t. ' 23. Bishop Kein ,
dean of the Catholic Unlv'e-rslly of America ,
has given out the Information as a result of
his recent audiences with the pope , that the
latter would In the encyclical soon to be
Issued , set forth for the first time certain
important enlargements In the functions , au
thority and dignity ot the apostolic delega
tion In the United States over which Mgr
Satollt presides. Ulshop Kcan says ho Is
Impressed with the desirability of establish
ing the pupil legation here on a basis com
mensurate with the extent and character of
this country. The details ot how this will
bo accomplished the bishop docs not state ,
as these will be made known In th" coming
encyclical. It Is probable } that Mgr Satolll'B
jurisdiction will be cnltrged end that his
authority will be supreme In this country
'nnd will be subject to appeals to Home.
Illshop Kcan says this does not mean the
establishment of an American "pop& " as
sometimes suggested , as the supreme author
ity ot the ablcgate would extend to ca es of
dispute , and would be In the nature of a
supreme court , subject , however , to the papa. !
power on all questions outflde of those of
church Jurisdiction nnd procedure. Bishop
1C am regards Mgr Satolll us , a permanency
In his position. "Of course i.t is settled be
yond question that Mgr. Satolll will be made

It will be next month or ns-ct yeni it Is not

WASHINGTON. Spt. 23 , The expected In
dictments against Me.asrs , .Havemcyer und
dearies of the Sugar trust , who refused to
answer questions asked them by Ilia senate
investigating committee , have bcn finally
framed In the district uttorncy's office and
only await the action of' the grand jury ,
which vvll present theni to the court. The
time which has. elapsed incs the cases were
fi st presented has been wiluly consumed In
the preparation of these 'Indictments' ' No
inois difficult tf clinical task has devolved
upon the district attorney for years , chiefly
on account of lack of pre-cjdent. The brunt
of the piosecutlon of the ! Sugar trust will
rest upon the Indictment. Their Is no
doubt that the lawyers of' the tuist ofllclals
will mike motions to quash the bills the
first step In their defense. , The decision of
the criminal court judge , wlll doubtless be
taken to the court ot appeals of the district ,
fur although an appeal at. that stage ot an
ordinary cisc Is not allow od , the couit of ap-
polls makes an c.\eeptlonfor a case of ex
traordinary Importance tcrtsave the expense
of a criminal trial based upon an Indictment
which may be Invalid. * fhu decision ot the
appellate court upon the ( legality of the In
dictments will , therefore .have much weight
in determining- power of a congressional
committee to compel witnesses to answer
questions , or tf refusing , to submit to pun
ishment for contempt. If the court of ap.
po.ils fay thot they cannat be Indicted for
such an offense- that settles the matter unless
an attempt Is made to cafry the question to
the supieme court.

GRAND ISLAND , Sept. 23. ( Special )
Tlio political horizon In this county is dotted
with many -very Interesting- situations and
conditions nnd there have so far been more
sensational Incidents than for years past.
The excitement at the democratic con-vcnllon ,
In which a man was nominated who but the
day beloro Iti the populist convention had
denounced that party and bid it an eternal
farewell , In which the son of Senator Vest
withdrew his name from the congressional
delegation "because lie was a domocral ' and
would not vote for the "bob-tailed cur , " Mc-
Kclglian , In which the same "unworthy son
of a noble sire" had denounced demo-pops as
"snivelling , sneaking ofllce seekers , assas
sins In Ilio night , well poisoners , " etc. , In
which ! ' . O'Hrien. ono of the noblest Irish
democrats of them all at Wood river , had
rushed from the hall with a "Good Lord1
that's enough , " expression , when the chair
man had appointed four fiee silver men on
the committee to select the delegation to the
state convention , from which B. Kno < c.
another old apostle of that democracy which
was pure and undetlled and never tided
away , washed his hands of the convention
that excitement has scarce .subsided when
a republican faction brings about a startling
view In the political kaleidoscope. At the
various precincts caucuses u.ro held Prlilay
night for the purpose of suggesting n.iints
for election at the primaries yesterday for
delegates to the county convention. The cnn-
cuses wcro better attended than ever before
In the history of the city.
The county attorney elect will have some
important cases to hindle in the district
court. In which case the bondsmen of the
several de-faulting county officials are deeply
concerned. The ante-caucus manipulations
of both candidates , C R. Thompson and W
A. Prince , were thorough but honorable
Prince won about forty of the fifty-four dele
gates In the city , Uefore the oponhig of
the- polls at the primaries , yesterday Thomp
son and Prince met and agreed to stand by
the results of the caucuses. In open viola
tion of this agreement 1'rlnce mn list night
rushed into Thompson's precinct , which had
Instructed the latter to name his own dele
gation , and carried a different delegation by
five votes. Prince could not be found this
nurnlng. It is nut believed lint he in
stigated this action , termed treacherous by
the Thompson followers , but Clnrlcs
Wasmer , who led In the iplsodo ,
admitted this morning thut Prlnco
was ndvlscd oC It when he , Wasmer , opined
the game , and did not demand them to de
sist. The Thompson men had generally
conceilc-d that Pri'ifa ' had tlic nonilnitUm ,
and to say the least the action was 111-
aO vised.
Ttrj } Mojore was ! re the early part of
tha w ck , Since jhe.ii club * luve been trumps ,
but they are acrimpfJilcd by vciy poor suits
in \\ie \ \ hands of the few MaJprs * fallowcrs.
It may be tald without Uar of cojitracUc.tlnn
( hut I ho ringleaders lime all they can do to
Kscp republicans In line on the he d ot the
state Llcl.et without turning their attention
to pops or democrats As an instarcit

roar of thunder tlmt was deep and con
tinuous. The opera house wus picked wllli
people to witness a popular play and a
panic was almost ocisloneJ by the warring :
elements.
Robert Stevenson , living about four miles.
north of Whtteinore , was the first victim.
He wus lilt In several plitccd and was fatally
Injured. His grove looked as though It had
been mowed down with a scythe. Carl Bar

demolished , but hla wife and five children ,
came out ot tlie wreck unhurt.
The force of the win I v , aa such that

At ( ieorge Holman s the roct of Ills house
went , leaving the walls standing and the
whole family was carried un from between
the walls and away about thirty rods , ono ot
the children being killed. G. W. Ferguson's- '
family was can led some distance through the/

baby went a little f.uther und wus found
seated on n piece of the roof. The wife ,
of Swan E'cterson had tier bkull cut open In

head were literally packed with sand , plas

Particulars are coming In all the time ,
which Indicate that half of the horrors ot the
cyclone have1 not been told. The scene of
desolation was visited all day by great
crowds , all available conveyni.icH being char
tered , The destruction of property will not
bo less than $100,000. Most of the farmers
were well-to-do , with snug bank accounts ,
but numbers of the victims who were renters
lost everything , some of them losing
their families. Tim peimanently crippled will
make a long and sorrow ful list. The wires
are down moat of the time and news Is hard
