PEASCIS MVRPHI'S WORK.
Three Thousand Citizens of Helena,
1' Mont., Wear the Bine Ribbon.
Helena, Mont. Aug. 17. Francis
Murphy has just concluded the most
remarkable temperance revival in the
history of Montana. Three weeks he
labored day and night, and in that time
more than three thousand people, or
fully one-sixth of the entire city's pop
ulation, signed his pledge of total abstin
ence and donned the blue ribbon. In a
typical western town, built on the site
of the famous Last Chance placer mining
camp, this is a wonderful showing.
After a short rest Mr. Murphy will grap
ple Bacchus in his own stronghold, the
greatest mining camp on the earth,
Butte City. From there he will go on
west to the Sound cities and down to
California. As in other places, Mr.
Murphy has been rabbidly attacked by
the red-hot prohibitionists, for he
neither advocates nor believes in that
doctrine. Mr. Murphy in an- interview
with a local newspaper reporter said :
'Prohibition has failed wherever tried.
Kind words, encouragement, love and
God's help alone can pervail upon men
to quit the use of Intoxicating liquors."
Mr. Murphy has never done much
work in the western mining and live
stock counties, and he considars his suc
cess in Helena among the most notable
of his long career. .
ATTEMPTED MUKDEK.
Two ex-Convicts ' Assault a Man Who
Had Testified Against Them.
San Ebancisco, Aug. 17. Two des
perate ex-convicts, known as Peffer
Taylor, alias King, and William Gordon,
alias Lewis, attempted to kill Archie
Salisbury at the corner of Calffornia and
Kearney streets a few minutes before 1
o'clock this morning. Three years ago
Salisbury was a witness against them,
when they were convicted of burglary
and sentenced to Sari Quentin. They
secured their release from the peniten
tiary two weeks ago and started in
search of Salisbury with the avowed in
tention of killing him. When they
overtook him on Kearney street this
morning Gordon drw a dagger and Tay
lor a pistol. They sprang upon their
victim with an oath. Gordon slashed
at him with the dagger. The blade
struck Salisbury on the right shoulder,
cutting his clothing but not reaching
the flesh. Salisbury fled and his assail
ants chased him until Officers Johnson
and Minnihan captured Taylor. He
was charged with an assault with a
deadly weapon and carrying a concealed
weapon. Gordon escaped at the time
but was arrested soon after.
Danger of a Uenewal of the War.
San Francisco,-Ang. 17. A private
letter from Samoa, under date of July
16, says there is great danger of a re
newal of the war. Some residents have
made arrangements to send their wo
men and children to Honolulu, at the
first outbreak of the trouble. A stren
uous appeal has been made for a United
States warship. The only man-of-war
there at the time was a German vessel.
Robert Louis Stevenson, who is living
a few miles from Apin, has greatly im

Another World to Conquer.
West Superior, Aug. 16. On good
authority it can be stated that the
American Steel Barge Company is out
lining plans for employing the whale
backs on the 'Mississippi River. The
river cities and individual interests
looking to a betterment of their com
merce are co-operating to that end.
These barges, with the advantages they
possess over the ocean craft, as respects
less draught, combined with equal car
rying capacity, can traverse the river
from St. Louis to the gulf.

LOOKS VFRY SERIOUS.
Concerted Action to be Taken by For
eign Powers Unless China Makes
Some Redress.
The Combined Fleet May, be Called
Upon at Any Moment to Take
Effective Action.
The Wheat Markets of the World
Quieter and Prices Take a
Little Drop.
t
Shanghai,. Aug. 17. There is no use
disguising the fact that the most serious
state of affairs exist in this country over
the agitation against foreigners and
others. The combined fleets of the
powers may be called upon at any mo
ment to take effective action, looking to
redress for the outrages by the" Chinese
government. At present great excite
ment prevails at the increasing tension
between the Chinese government and
the ministers of foreign powers. From
all appearances the former is obstinate
in its refusal to redress the injury done
foreigners during the recent riots. If
the Chinese authorities do not yield to,
the firm demands of the ministers of the
powers a concerted hostile action upon
the part of the vessels of the various
nations represented in these waters is
imminent. Such a state of affairs exists
that it has just become known that the
foreign ministers were, compelled to in
form the Chinese government that a
joint naval demonstration of an effective
nature, in which the French, American,
British and German squadrons will take
part, will be ordered in the near future,
unless speedy reparation is made for the
injuries, outrages and abuses complained
of by the ministers of the powers.
London, Aug. 17. The Standard to
day says ; "Should China persist in her
present attitude, grave consequences
are threatened and no one can see
issues. This is what the shrewder of
Kolao and other secret societies desire.
They hope to involve the government
with the foreign powers, and thus dis
tract it, knowing that if the powers at
tack China the empire will probably
collapse and the whole of them -fall into
a state of anarchy, which could not be
suppressed in our time. Happily the
European diplomatists understand this
condition of affairs, and knowing how
how desperately fragile is the imperial
authority in China, will persuade the
others to deal with it in a gingerly
manner."
Got Eight Years In the Penitentiary.
Philadelphia, Aug. 18. Charles Law
rence, ex-assistant cashier of the Key
stone bank who pleaded guilty to in
dictments and charging him with making
false entries in the bank books was this
morning sentenced to eight years im
prisonment in the penitentiary and pays
a fine of $100 and costs. In the cases of
Francis W. Kennedy, president, and
Henry F. Kennedy, cashier of the sus
pended Spring Garden bank, sentence
was postponed until September 8th.
A Bijr Fire at Boston.
Boston, Aug. 18. At Cambridge this
morning the Damon Iron Works burned ;
buildings valued at $50,000. The entire
loss of the Damon Iron company is ap
proximated at $200,000 on which there
was partial insurance. The Kendall
machine shop adjoining was also de
stroyed, loss $80,000 on the contents,
insurance $50,000. The men employed
at both places lost tools valued at $10,
000. The Harvard Drv Plate company
suffered a loss of $90,00".
The Railroad Commission in Session.
Salem, Aug. 18. The railroad com
mission is now meeting to consider the
matter of reduced rates recommended
by the board for the united pacific. No
decision has- yet been reached. The
board will probably adopt the rates
recommended unless'the company shows
a good cause why not. The rates are a
reduction of about 25 per cent, on wheat
and 16 per cent, on horses, mules, etc.
The Chicago Wheat Pit Quiet.
- CmcAGof Aug. 18. The feeling in the
wheat pit was quiet this morning, for
eign markets being lower.' December
wheat, which closed at 1.03 yesterday,
started at that price but fluctuated both
ways within range of 1J.- At the end of
the first, half hour it was . quoted at
1.02.

Expected to be a Billion Dollars More
Than During Recent Years.
New York, Aug. 17. The American
Agriculturist, in its annual review of the
harvests, to be published in its Septem
ber issue, estimates that the farm profits
this year will be $l,00O,000,Q00 more
than during the recent years of depres
sion. On the basis of the present pros
pects the corn crop of 1801 is estimated
to be 2,000,000,000 bushels ; wheat, 500,
000,000 bushels; and oats, 022,000,000
bushels. The total yield of "wheat, corn
and oats on the basis of this estimate
will be 28.8 per cent, greater than last
year, and 16.7 per cent, above the aver
age of the preceding eleven years. On
this basis the value of the corn crop will
be to the farmers, $1,000,000,000; wheat,
$500,000,000; and oats, $250,000,000.
This is $450,000,000 more than the value
of these crops in 1800, and $625,000,000
more tnan the average of these crops
from 1880 to 1890 inclusive. Cotton and
rice will command better prices than
last season. Cattle will be worth one
third more than eighteen months ago,
with other live stock in proportion.
Tobacco is advancing heavily, and hops
are firm at good prices. Winter fruit
will command large values and all veget
ables are yielding fairly, with every in
dication of a remunerative market.
The export outlook was never better.
Immensely increased sums will be sent
to the United States for our produce.
Of course ulterior influences may inter
fere with these brilliant predictions, but
it is almost certain the farmers will re
reive better profits on their crops than
ever before.
A Special Meeting of U.. 1. Directors.
New York, Aug. 18. This afternoon
a special meeting of the Union Pacific
directors went into session. George,
Gould, Sidney, Dillon, Vice President
Lane, Marvin, Naughitt, and practically
all the governors of the road were present.
After the meeting adjourned the fol
lowing statements was issued : "The
holders of more, than half the floating
debt on the Union Pacific assented to a
plan for extending the debt by issuing
notes for three years, and the board of
directors of the company today passed
accessary resolutions to put that into
effect. It is proposed to issue sufficient
3-year six per cent, notes to retire the
entire floating debt of the company. J.
Pierpont Morgan , Edward King, John
A. Stewart, Alexander Orr and Freder
ick L. Amer were appointed a committee
to represent creditors in the settlement
of the matter.
Child Insurance Money.
London, Aug. 17. Although the billr
strongly advocated by the late Arch
bishop Magee, to have all child insurance
money paid to undertakers did not pass
parliament this session, it has none the
less strong advocates, and coroners
throughout the United Kingdom are
conducting inuqiries into such deaths
with more vigor than before. There
seems to be no doubt that many insur
anced children perish through inten
tional neglect rather than positive
voilence, and that it was intended to
take away wholly the motive for such
crime.
The Salvation Army in South Africa.
London, Aug. 17. A dispatch from
South Africa 'says that the heads of the
Salvation Arruy in that country are anx
iously awaiting the arrival of General
Booth. The Salvation Army people
have acquired a desirable site in Swazi
land for the foundation of a colonial
farm, on the plan suggested by General
Booth, and a good portion of "Darkest
England" may be on the way there be
fore the extreme severities of winter.
The general will arrive soon in Cape
town. .
'
Wife-Murder and Suicide
Ottawa, Kan., Aug. 17. This after
noon E. B. Preston, a lumber merchant

wife, and then attempted suicide. The

count of a quarrel over the attentions a
certain young man was paying their
daughter. Mrs. Preston, however, re

sults. Preston will die.
