FRANCE PREPARING FOR A WAR
Rn clan a Anxiously "Watchlnar the-
1ollcr of the United States
Ta.t I can end. Q,nfrlTin1.
LONDONj Aug. 25-Tho policy of the
United States toward Chink Is -watched,
here -with mitre Interest than Is that ot
nay other country, tor Englishmen be-Hox-o
somehow or other that In the trou
"bles ahead, America will he the only
power with Interests parallel to theirs.
Tb ypectator, discussing the frailty at
"the ties connecting the powers, says:
"'Continental statesmen, look askance
at tho new force, America, whose limits
jthey do not clearly discern, and which,
.for examplQ, can send black troops to
China, and they mutter words about tho
possible Anglo-Saxon understanding, and
would, if thov could, irladlv nastoone all
action so as -to have more time for reflec- i
tion and combination; only you see Pe
Tdn is inflames, the Chinese Semlromis Is
on her way to Seran, and a Russian
General publicly reports that tho Amur
now .flows through Russian territory. Ja
pan has been helping" Europe, but Eng
lish observers are uncertain what her
statesmen intend."
"That the French Government Is pre
paring for war there can bfr no longer
-any doubt.' This first sentence in a
long article In the Pall Mall -Gazette of
"Wednesday, on "Tho Imminence of War
With France," Is tho .subject of serious
speculation in most of the periodicals.
The Speaker considers a French invasion
a. nightman but fears that the persist
ent fomenting of Rational hatred is omi
nous and may precipitate a conflict. The
Spectator says it does not -wish to en
courage the scare, but it voices a cau
tion that a strenuous watch should bs
maintained over tho National defenses.
According to present arrangements,
the Queen will hold a council at Os
borne August SI, Henry Labouchero as
serts, at -which the dissolution of Parlia
ment will bo sanctioned with the custo
mary formalities, and the general election
will be held early In October.
English correspondents at Paris, in ex
plaining why France, though bestowing
decorations on the representatives of all
the other principal countries at the ex
position, omitted so to honor those of
Great Britain, say that the British com
missioner when requested to designate
those worthy of decoration, replied that
the laws of his country did not allow him
or his official associates to accept deco
rations. The introduction of the young King of
Bpaln to his subjocts on tho northwestern
seaeoast, was attended by a degree of
good feeling not before seen in Spain In
generations. Even In tho provinces
where socialistic and dynastic discontent
Is always verging on insurrection, the
people showed patriotic pleasure, and a
desire to forgot the past disasters and
accept the now order of things.
It would be supposed that the question
of superiority of tho American method of
riding horses had been sufficiently demon
strated by this time to convince even
the conservative British horseman. The
eportlng papers, however, -are still filled
daily with letters on this subject. The
bitter reluctance with which the friends
of British Jocklos admit the advantage
of the American system is a curfdus
part of the controversy. This has gone
co far that a writer in the Sportsman
today calls for a halt in the discussion,
and advocates the American system,
whlch, he says, "certainly suits our
horses, owners and trainers," adding.
let us still be sportsmen, oven if wo
ore beaten at our own game."
The note Issued by the "Vatican au
thorities against the prayer of Queen
tMarguorlta, written by Her Majesty af
ter the assassination of King Humbert,
has set going a violent discussion in
Italy. The Borne correspondent says:
"Its publication has caused Indignant
Outbursts, has evoked sympathy for the
Qulrinal and lins strengthened the young
King In bis Inherited controversy with
tho church. The note was a personal act
of the Pope, and its avowal as such was
meant to rebuke those representing the
Pontiff as an aged man and as a tool in
the .hands of Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary of state, tho truth being
that Rampolla Is as clay In tho masterful
hands of tho pontiflcal potter, and bends
like a reod before tho Imperious will of
Loo. The Pope, in spite of his years,
Is still the soul of the "Vatican, and rules
his entourage with a rod of Iron."
Forgetting tho Chinese cryptogram and
the unending war In South Africa, and the
reconstruction of that country, a Btrike
on a little 100-mile "Welsh railroad stirs up
more serious interest than anything else In
England this week, because it Is closely
related to tho coal supply and the manu
facturing vitality of tho kingdom. The
Taff-Vale Railroad carries tho product of
60.000 coal miners into Cardiff, The fifth
day of tho strike sees small quantities of
tho best stoam coal commanding 55 shill
ings. All tho Cardiff factories are shut
down, and the merchant fleet Is unable
to leave the harbor because it has not
boon supplied with coal. Most of the mines
ere still piling up coal at the pit mouths.
All wiH probably be Idle in another week.
The cause of tho dispute is that WOO rail
"way servants" want a halfpenny an hour
tnoro and ore upheld In that demand by
the Union of Railway Men of the United
Kingdom with 350.000 In the treasury and
a. strike income of 3000 a week. Inter
woven In tho discussion anent the
coal scarcity, trouble Is brewing else-
where In the railway world. The Great!
Eastern men have handed In an ulti
matum demanding increased wages and
threatening to strike if this Is refused.
The probabilities are $hat American coal
"will be imported. The arrival In the
Thames on Thursday evening of tho Brit
ish steamer Queonswood with 400(Xtons of
coal, and the palling of the British
eteamer Armstor from Norfolk, Va., on i
"Wednesday, with 4000 tons destined for
2antry $ay ror the British Navy, afford
6. text on which hangs abundant specu
lation. English writers seem to take a
melancholy satisfaction In pointing out 1
America s exhaustless coal supplies, and
the ultimate certainty that large exports
will be made from that country.
"Passengers are requested to beware of
rambling.'' This penciled notice was
posted In the Campania's smoking-room
when she arrived7 a week ago. Several
Americans who had lost rather heavily
at poker after the game compared notes
and decided to repudiate their debts, be
ing convinced that they had been playing
against card sharps. Tho principal loser
was a South American ranchman whose
paper debts amounted to over 1000. The
winners wero two New Yorkers who were
apparently unacquainted with each other
when the -Campania leffrNcw York. The
Sorh American alleged that he had been
johejued. He paid 10 ahd notified the
Winners that "he would pay the balance
of Ms losses when they produced satis
factory references. Ho also telegraphed
from Queenstown for a detective to meet
the steamer at Liverpool. One did so, but
beyond telling the victim that the "Win
ners were well-known sharpers, he could
do nothing.
Mary Aderson (Mrs. Antonio Navarro)
admits that she Is as young as when
playgoers knew her, but she has con
fessed to bating received a shock at a
bazaar held in. Broadway, "Worcester
shire, the other day, when the rector of
a religious community told her she was
a mother to them. She made a little
speech In which she remarked:

clerical compliment, but 'he might have

The taking by Americanibankers- of the
exchequer "bonds seemed to impress the
Shah of Persia immensely. The St.
James's Gazette has some curious Infor
mation from Pari3 on the subject. It
sayst
"The Shah Is convinced that financial
reasons render the alliance between
France and Russia less important every
day, because France is tired of giving
money to Russia. -The only nation-that
can givo money to Russia is the United
States. The Shah has a brilliant Idea
that by -cultivating friendship with Amer
ica he may secure himself with Russia,
whose relations-with America aro likely
to become very close before long.
Charles Stewart Smith, a member of
tho New -York Rapid Transit Commis
sion, who has gone tp Scotland to visit
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, has de
voted considerable time to studying both
the Paris and Ijondon underground elec
tric railways. ,
"I have been afforded every opportunity
to study the workings of both systems,"
said Mr. Smith to a representative of the
Associated Press, "especially in London,
whore I nave ridden during almost every
hour of the day. and I am prepared to
niake a complete report to tho commis
sion on my return to New York. The
London electric railroad is certainly a
great Improvement over anything Lon
"don has ever had. But, after all. It la
not rapid transit in the sense we under
stand it In the United States. The dis
tance from the Bank of England to Shep
nrdsbush Is 400 yards short of six miles.
This is covered In 25 minutes. Including
13'Btops. This is -done" by means of two
single-track tubes which, of course, pre
vents the running- of express trains. The
Now York line will contain four tracks
'and express trains will run from the
City Hall to the northernmost end' of tho
Island tn from IS to 10 minutes.
The engineering work in London Is
admirable, and tho rolling stock is an im
provement even on that of tha New York
elevated 'railroad, as the cars ore better
lighted and better furnished."
Tho middle of August finds London In
tho apogee of tho season, while the exo
dus of returning tourists is limited only
to tho carrying capacity of the outgoing
steamers. C A. Gilllg, who is an expert
at calculating American travel in Eu
rope, said to a representative of the As
sociated Press:
"It is nonsense to talk about 150,000
Americans crossing the Atlantic this sea
son. Their numbers ore always exag
gerated. There is only a certain number
of trans-Atlantic lines, each limited to a
number of ships of well-known capacity.
Going over the question with a little
care, I estimate that there will be about
85,000 Americans in Europe during the
season. The tide 61 travel is western
now, and until October I will be tre
mendous. Tho Oceania took 90 cabin
passengers "Wednesday, and the Kaiser
"Wllhelm der Grosse 300. The fact that 86
Americans left the Carlton Hotel that
day shows how strong the homeward
procession is."
It Is not often that any American resi
dent in England secures a place in "Van
ity Fair's portrait gallery, and far less
frequently does the subject of these
pleasant caricatures resent them. Notso
with ''Little Johnnie" Rleff, however,
wh'o is tho subject of this week's cartoon.
Reiff, who cares more about kittens and
candies than fame, says:
"I could forgive them for the unnatural
position of my hinds, but why did they
want to turn my black hair into a shock
of dirty yellow?"
"Slaughter by Australian Blaclcsf
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 25. News
comes from Sydney, by tho steamer Mari
posa, of on outbreak of latent sayagery
in two aboriginal blacks Who had lived
for years in close association with whites,
and it resulted in the slaughter of flva
women and children Jn one place and of
five people in another. At Breelong, in
New South "Wales, the Mowbry family of
fended twp natives, known as Governor
and Underwood, who in revenge broke into
tho Mowbry house, armed with toma
hawks and war clubs. In the house wero
Mrs. Mowbry. her two daughters, Grace
and Hilda; her niece, Elsie Clark; Miss
Kerse, a school teacher, and three boys,
Percy, aged 13; George, aged 12, and Al
bert, aged 9. Of these only the two
youngest boys escaped, by hiding. All
the others wero either killed or mortally
wounded. The blacks seemed to have
blood madness upon them, for in their
flight across tho country to tho Queens
land Mountains they killed Alex McKay
and his wife, at Gulong; old Mrs. O'Brien
and her young child, at Meruwa, and
Kerin Fltzpatrick, an old man of 60, at
Mudgee. Their horses were captured by
the police, but thoy escaped.
THE SCHARN MURDER.
TTevr Yorlc Police at Last Hare a
Clciv.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. After seven days
something has been found upon which
the police may go to work In the Scharn
murder case. They have learned that
Catherine Scharn was in tho habit of re
ceiving a male visitor in her flat on Sat
urday evenings. Also, there is a proba
bility that the girl was strangled with
a bed sheet, which has disappeared since
the crime was committed, although it was
In the flat when the body of the mur
dered girl was found.
Celestine and Anna Gretz, two girls
who delivered washing at tho Scharn flat
tho Saturday evening Catherine was mur
dered, and had done so each Saturday
night1 for months, told the police that
three or four different Saturday evenings
when they delivered .washing a strange
man had been in tho room with Miss
Scharn. From the flrst the police of tho
central office have insisted that the mur
der -was due to the Jealousy of? some man.
Tho story of the girls is tho flrst thing
they have learned that bears out this
theory. They are now directing their ef
forts to locate Miss Scham's regular Sat
urday night caller.

THE NANCY HANKS
TRIBUTE TO THE MAItTYRED PRESIDENT'S MOTHER, TO BE ERECTED

Tho design presented by Thompson Stickle, of Springfield, HI, for a monument to be erect
ed over the grave of Abraham Lincoln's mother, In Spencer County, Indiana, has been ac
cepted by tho Nancy Hanks Lincoln Monument Association, ot which Governor Mount, of
Indiana, is tho head. The association accepted tho offer of Colonel J. S. Culver, Of Spring
field, fo build the monument by tho uso of as much eranlto as possible from the National
Lincoln, monument In this city, and stono from the temporary receiving vault where tho
body of Lincoln rests. According to the design of Mr. Stickle, the baso will rest on a solid
foundation, on which will bo constructed a massive stone-faced pedestal, the brocets to form
tha support for tho monument to b cat from tho solid rock. On tho face of tho die block
is to bo carved a scroll, roveaHnff tha name, "Nancy Hanks Lincoln" underneath. Ivy, tho

at Shanghai to be sending troops to the
Tonquln frontier and to be intending to
fight the French at Meng Tse.
'The bulk of the German fleet recently
at Shanghai, has gone to Taku as an
escort to the new German Minister, Dr.
Mumm von Schwarzensteln, who Is bound
for Pekin.
Clan fights aro of dally occurrence in
the Heung-Shan district. The foreign
residents of Shanghai aro alarmed at the
arrival of the extraordinary number of
warships, and are fearful of European
complications, but they have been as
sured by some of the naval commanders
that tho gathering was accidental.
The cqntlnued, absence of direct tele
graphic newls from Pekin during -the last
few days, together with reports of furth
er fighting near Tien Tsin, is causing
some anxiety. It is not, however, thought
that the allied contingents can have any
real difficulty In clearing their line of
communications, even if the Chinese
should nave gathered in force in their
rear.
"What Is In reality more disturbing is
tho state of affairs in the central and
southern provinces. Hong Kong tele
grams received here yesterday were dis
quieting. There is no doubt that serious
rioting has occurred in Foo Kien and
Klang Se Provinces, where tho missions
have been attacked and plundered. The
disorder at Suatow has also been grave,
and a French gunboat landed a body of
bluejackets and marines to protect mis
slons, while the Japanese have been pa
trolling at Amoy. It would almost seem
as if an allied force would be required
in every one of the treaty ports.
GERMAN "WAR PREPARATIONS. '
Powerful Army May Be Transported
to the Orient.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The report telegraphed from "Washing
ton that Germany is preparing to make
San Francisco a base of supplies with a
view to sending a very powerful army to
China, has attracted considerable atten
tion. Your correspondent has made-dn-quiries
on tha subject in shipping circles,
and finds that German orders for stores
and provisions are sufficiently extensive
to lend probability to this rumor.
It certainly would not surprise the dip
lomatic authorities here if the German
force should eventually reach a total of
40,000 or 50,000. Some importance may
possibly be attached to the meeting which
tho Prince of "Wales had with the Ger
man Emperor yesterday. i
. The Prince, In company with the Duke
of Cambridge, who, it will be remem
bered, preceded Lord "Wolseley as Commander-in-Chief
of the British Army,
drove from Homburg to Castle Frieder
ichsdorp to meet the Emperor and Em
press Frederick. Subsequently tho Em
peror accompanied the Prince and Duke,
back to Homburg, and had a long private
conversation with them at their hotel. It
is commonly understood that the British
heir apparent does not interfere in polit
ical matters, and In a general way this
Is true, but In their foreign policies there
is a good deal of private communication
between tho English and German courts,
and it is extremely likely that the Kaiser
and his uncle discussed tho outlines of
a Chinese policy, which may be pursued
by their respective empires.
On more than one previous occasion tho
Prince has been employed as a kind of
dignified and superior Foreign Office mes
senger, able to say to the German Em
peror what could not conveniently be con
Teyed through ordinary diplomatic chan
nels. In the present crisis, Lord Salis
bury may have induced the illustriout
tourist to take advantage of his visit tc
Homburg to point out to hl3 imperial rel
ative that unnecessarily 'aggressive or
violent action In China would bo ex
tremely distasteful to Great Britain. The
German Emperor has views about tho al
leged "yellow danger" which have never
been shared by tho English Premier.

CHAFFEE'S RECOMMENDATION.
That Troops No-w In China Re "With
draTrn. NEW YORK, Aug. 25. A special to the
Herald from "Washington says:
Major-General Chaffee has recommended
that the United States troops now in
China by withdrawn as soon as all tho
Americans in Pekin havo reached places
of safety.
His cable dispatch advising this and ac
cumulating evidences of lack of harmony
among tho powers were the main sub
jects of discussion at Friday's Cabinet
meeting. The President and all the mem
bers of the Administration are anxious to
get tho troops out of China at the earliest
possible date, but it can be said on au
thority that there will be no Immediate
withdrawal of American forces unless
there is an Immediate change in con
ditions. There is a disposition In Administra
tion circles to believe that General Chaf
fee's recommendation Was based on mili
tary considerations alone and that he did
not take political considerations into ac
count when making if, though there is
reason to think that his dispatch was sent
after consultation with Minister Conger.
"Withdrawal of American troops will bo
considered permissible when the restora
tion of order and obtaining those guar
antees for the protection of American life
and property contemplated by Secretary
Hay's note of July 3, can proceed with
out their presence.
The withdrawal of the troops will be
required if, through the declaration of war
against China by one or more of the pow
ers, a condition should arise -which would
temporarily at least interfere with tho ac
complishment of the- objects which the
United States had in view in co-operating
with other nations.

The Chinese will rise in a body, and it
will take much money and many lives
to ultimately suppress them. Would your
Christ wish you to advance religion at

"Wounded and Sick in China.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. The large
base hospital that was projected by the
Government at Nagasaki, Japan, has
been abandoned, and the wounded and
sick from China, who would have gone
there, will bo brought directly here and
treated in the general hospital at the
Presidio. The physicians, nurses and
others ordered to Nagasaki will remain
here for the present.
The labor council of this city has
strongly protested against the employ

Three Russian vessels are also in the

Third Artillery and 500 marines are

Rations for 40 days are being forwarded
to tho Pekin contingent by boat. A hun
dred civilians havo left Pekin, including

PARIS, Aug. 25. General Frey, com
manding tho French forces at Pekin. tel
egraphs this, under date of August 20:
"The allies have driven the Boxers from
all the points they occupied. The allies
aro camped outside the Imperial palace,
which was occupied by some soldiers of
the regular Chinese army. The Generals
decided to march the international forces
through the palace doors, which were
afterwards closed."
A Great Methodist Temple.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.A temple that will
rival any other in the world is to be
built in Chicago, if plans now under con
sideration by the various Methodist
church officials in this city are matured
and executed.
The edifice will bo the' homo of the con
solidated churches, under institutional
rulo, and If reports prove correct, the pre
siding ecclesiastic will bo Dr. Canlden M.
Cobern, of Denver. Dr. Cobern, who is
pastor of TrinJy Church, In the Colorado
city, was Interviewed in Denver, but
would say nothing beyond asserting that
the matter had not reached a point where
he could talk. Presiding Elder Jackson
said: i
"I will not say that Dr. Cobern has been
approached in regard to the Institutional
church pastorate."
The plan will be to effect the consolida
tion of several big Methodist Churches
and congregations, including Trinity, tho
First Church and others, sell the proper
ties and employ the capital thus derived
probably ?2,000,000 in the building of ono
of tho greatest religious temples ever
known in tho history of the world.
Nicorngraa-Costn Rica Boundary,
NEW YORK, Aug. 25. General P. Al
exander, who was appointed by President
Cleveland arbitrator in the boundary dis
pute between Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
has Just returned from those countries
on the completion of his mission.
An Interesting feature of General Alex
ander's work lay in the fact that his la
bors on the boundary questions wero the
cause of a close survey of the line of
the proposed Nicaragua Canal. He said
that he did not think the commission now
preparing a report would advise a new
route.
"While disclaiming definite knowledge
on the subject lie was inclined to think
that a proposition from the NIcaraguan
Government to ours had already been
made. He believed that, rather than not
have the canal built, the NIcaraguan
Government would accede to almost any
terms made by the United States.

TORPEDOES AGAIN DEFEATED.
Spokane "Won by Superior Ail
Around Work.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 25. Spokane
again defeated the Torpedoes by superior
all-around work, particularly in base run
ning. Humes was in the box for the visi
tors, and he proved a fairly easy mark,
but the score would have been quite
close had the team behind him played
with any degree of accuracy. The Tor
pedoes started as if they were sure win
ners. When the first Inning closed, five
runs had been made off Dreher, the op
posing pitcher, and the crowd thought
Spokane was out of it. Dreher steadied
and for the next eight innings only 28
Torpedoes came to bat, and only two of
these made their way across tho plate.
Humes gave Ave bases on balls and hit
four men, which had considerable to do
with Spokane's easy victory. The same
teams play tomorrow.

A SQUARE FIGHT.
Opinion of the Sports Who Smv
Sharkey Knocked Out.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25. That the fight
between Robert Fitzslmmona and Thomas
Sharkey last night was on the square Is
the unanimous opinion of all the New
York morning papers and most of the
reputable sports who witnessed the bout
Charley White, who refereed the bout,
when seen at an early hour this morn
ing, said:
"The fight was on the level. Though
short. It was the best mill I ever saw,
and the best man won. Both men dis
played great gameness. Each man had a
hard punch. It was e hard fast, furious

"As a ionic 1 find that Ptrnna Is

Mrs. J. A. Bashor, Knoxvllle, Tenn.,
writes: "My health was completely brok
en down and has been for almost a year.
I could not rest day or night, but suffered
constantly untold misery. Tried remedy
after remedy but found no relief until
fight from the flrst tap of the bell. Both
men wero clever and kept away from
each other in the early stages, but toward
the end of the flrst round they began to
slug in earnest. Sharkey landed a heavy
swing on Fltzslmmons just as the gong
sounded at the end of tha round. Tho
blow knocked Fltzslmmons down, but it
was a trifle too high to be effective. Fltz
slmmons and Sharkey mixed It up from
tho opening to the finish of the second
and last round. Fltzslmmons got In a
number of hard punches on Sharkey, that
would havo knocked out a less courageous
man than the sailor. When the end came,
Sharkey stood tha rain of blows like tha
stolo he is. When nearly gone. Fitzbim
mons got in his famous left hook to the
Jaw that won the flght.
"Fltzslmmons proved by his flght that
he is a clever, shifty man. with a hard
punch. Should he and Jeffries como to
gether again in the squared circle, the
sport-loving people of this country will
have a chance to see tfie greatest fight
ers of the age struggle for the suprem
acy." Fltzslmmons dressed hurriedly and left
the buhdlng a few minutes after tho
fight. He bore no marks of the contest.
Ho said:
"I knew all along that I would win, but
really I did not think that I would do
It so quickly. I expected that Sharkey
would last about five rounds. I was in
the best condition of my life. I am glad
it happened as it did. for It show3 that
I beat him in San Francisco four years
ago. I was willing to do anything to
wipe out that stain. I cannot say what
1 think of Sharkey, because the flght
was too short to size him up. He is not
as good a man as Ruhlin, though. Ruh
Hn Is more clever, but Sharkey depends
mostly upon rushes to win. He can hit
harder than Ruhlin, and Is a game fel
low." Sharkoy accepted his defeat good-naturedly.
"It was Just a case of hard luck," said
he, "but that is one of the fortunes of
war. Fltzslmmons is the hardest ighter
I ever faced. He'll whip Jeffries sure if
they ever meet."

tho day, was seen there and saldr relative
to the' challenge:
"I have defeated Fltzslmmons decisively
