TfiEY HATE US ALL ALIKE Powtr Shtuld Hive Retired After Leiitloni Had Beta Rescued and Chinese Treated as Barbarian-Arc Now la Dsnier. NEW YORK, May 27. Prince Okh tomriky, president of the Riwso-Chinese Hank, who Is d?eriled as knowing the Chin as having mu lled them and as ' having lately spent four months at IVkfn, la quoted at some length on the Chinese situation In a St. Petersburg dlKitatch to the Herald. In the course of the Interview, he said: I did not eee Count Von "Walderse at Pekln, but every one there knew that be felt the uselewneas of his position. The kaiser thought Pekln could be tak en with a battalion. So it coutd. but the battalion could not srop there. That ... la what he did not understand. He did not comprehend the tenacity and silent rawing power of the Chinese who have the character of the Flnlander and the charaererhuica of Turanian blood. The Chinese will never forgive and never forgets. There la no fear with them. The rpErlt of fatalism among them H tar too ataong. They would not care even if aa many more of them were sac Hficed. " "Do they hate Germans particularly?" "No, they dislike us all alwut equally and now more than ever." "What would have been the right course to pursue?" "Retire at once after the legations bad been rescued and treat the Chinese as barbarians whh whom we would have no more intercourse. Had that 1een done Li Hung Chang and the rest of the Mandarins would have come run ning down after us. Instead of that, and I look upon it as a shame that Rus .. sum representatives should be In such "" 'position, ministers are running after "ng Chang, bowing, scraping and of t.g audiences of him," cityaould Germany not evacuate Pekln a tre the wet season comes on?" f'Wben the season commences the le .. jfons cannot remain in the city. They have to so un to the hills. Tbev go with a small guard of soldiers." r 7bat wt'.l happen then? Saw the recent trouble over which " there were suJh great difficulties only one of the legations was attacked. The prob&'ollt'.y is ihat the Chinese are now mure angry and excited than ever an J will attack all the legations. Remem ber, the Chinese are very bitter and fiave much right to be so. The pillag ing at Pekin waa something awful. Pekin was fabulously rich." Prince Okhtomaky siid further of the situation: "The Germans do not mean to get out of China at all. That wis what every body knew who was in Pekin. It was the common talk of ' every German there and they mad? no attempt at concealing the object of their mission which was to stay." "But wha,t do they want?" "Thv provinces of Chan Tung and Chill, adj.icent to us in Manchuria a territory with 25,000,000 of Chinese in habitants. They want Yang'.se, but on ' ly for trading purposes. All this they look upon as a colony for Germany." SUPERIMPOSED TURRETS. Plan of Naval Board by Which Battle ships Are Balanced. NEW YORK, Miy 27. According to a Washington dispatch to the Herald. JuperimposeJ turrets for the battle ships of the Oregon class will probably not be advised by the navy board of obstruction. Naval Constructor Capps Is supervising the 'preparation of a Eczema sets the skin on fire. The acid poisons in lie blood are forced out through the pores of the skin, causing intense redness, burning and itching. So terrible is the itching at times, especially when the body is over heated, that the almost distracted sufferer feels that he could tear the skin to pieces, and that he must scratch or go crazy. He knows from experience that this only makes matters worse, but. made desperate by the terrible burning and itching, he is for the time being indifferent to after effects. There are several forms of Eczema, the moist, or weeping kind, that comes in little pus tules which discharge a watery, sticky fluid, which dries and peels off in bran-like cales. So profuse is the discharge at times that large scabs or crusts form, which are both painful and troublesome, and not easily removed. Red, disfiguring bumps and sores are symptoms of Eczema. The dry form usually attacks the head, bands and feet ; the 6kin, becoming bard and rough, often cracking open and bleeding, and attended with much itching. Eczema depends upon a poisoned con- Mr. L.

GA. plan by which the turrets of th Ore gan, the Indiana and the Masfuchusetts can be balanced. The great defect of these vowels Is that when tholr main turrets are turned to srarbiwrd or port the vessels list so as to submerge on one side most of their armor belt and on the other to expose their unirv tected hulls. When the Oregon returns to ttv I'nli ed States late in the su:iwner. she will be placed out of commission and given a thorough overhauling and the vie. partment may then balance her tur rets. It Is doubted, however, that anv such extensive reconstruction a pro viding her with, superimposed turrets will be authorized as this would nvt-s-sltate a special appropriation by con cross.

Dr. IVxter Addresses Large Congr-gu-gntion at Humboldt Park Church. CHICAGO, May 27. The Kev. S. R IVxter defended the army canteen t the Humboldt Park Rapt lot church last night. While disclaiming any inte!itl n or dilre to i-humtd.ut intemirniice in any form, he strenuously opposed the extremists who demanded congress to pass a lw which they exp.vted would compel temperance In Uie army. Dr. lVxter's addtvtM was Usleiie.l to by a large- audience, many outside of his regular congregation coming to h.tir his views. Ho w-.us one of the minister ial commission who visited Kort SheH dan recently for ihe purpiwt of Investi gating the effect of tbt repeal of the canteen law. and that he differed nui terialv from Dr. Parkhurst and ulvrs was a reason for the Interest shown in his remarks. The mlnK.'r informed thr reporter af ter his address that in view of the iv fusal of the lhiptisl ministers to re ceive his rt'iHM-t on the can tew iues;lon. at their la: meeting, he had sent In his resignation to th.t body.

May 27,-The close of the first week of the machinists' trike at Newark, N. J., finds about 1S00 Idle men In Newark and Its suburbs. The strikers have ceased to be as anguine as at first regarding the outcome of their efforts to compel their employers to grant a nine-hour day without ie crease of pay. A naif dojen of tbe smaller shops in this section have given In to the dem-tmis of the men. but nc:e of the larger ones has shown any dls position to yield. Representatives of the larger firms say they are prepared for Just as long a fight ta the machin ists care to maintain. It is probable that the machinists em ployed In the American Engine Works at Piainfield will go ou: today. This company agreed to the nine-hour clause but cut 15 cents from the ten-hour Pay. There will be a meeting of the men to day a: which the full demands will be uresented. PROVOKING MUCH DISCUSSION. W-alihy Britishers Being Called Upon to Follow In Carnegie's Footsteps. NEW YORK. May 27. The British newspapers and reviews do not provide .iltoee'h'r Dleawnt reading fr the Brit ish multi-millionaire these days, the London correa.-Ktndent of the Tribune thinks. Ever since the announcement of Mr. Carnegie's gift to Scotland, men of vast w.-alth in Great Britain haw been vainly called up m to follow in the foot sreps of those of America. Sir Hnry Itoee e. in an article In the Mon'hly Revle.v, gives a list of nine American universities endowed with various lar.Te sums by single individu als, and it has attracted a lot of notice. In r-ntri'it it is pointed out that al though the Duke of Devonshire. a.s Charicetor f Cambridge University, not long ago ak"d for 500,000 to revive the work of that great English institution which has been hit so hjrd by the ag ricultural depression, a gxd deal b'ss than half the ?um iefiuirei has yet to be obt line.J. CLAIM THROWN OUT. Judicial Determination of rh-i Cause of the Destruction of the Maine. NEW YORK, May 27 A special to the Herald from Washington says: In order to prevent a Judicial deter mination of the cause of the destruc tion of the battleship Maine, the gov ernment has taken advantage of a tech nicality to throw out the claim by Har ry S. McCann. who was a sailor n the battleship when she was blown up in Havana harbor. The government asked that his peti tion be dlsmisn?d on the ground that It is not within the terms of the treaty between the United States and Spain or the act of congress organizing the Spanish claims commission. The political d-partment of the Unit ed States, it Is further stated, has final ly dispose! of the claim ard this dis position bars the Jurisdiction of the commission or any other tribunal.
