San Francisco, July 31. Percy F.
Marks, one of the proprietors of the
London Financial News, and one of the
recognized authorities on financial
matters, arrived vosterdav on the
Mnnowai. The paper was founded in
1883, and is owned by himself and brO'
ther, Harry H. Marks, a member of
parliament. -This brother, previous to
embarking in this London newspaper
enterprise, obtained his journalistic
experience ou American papers.
Mr. Marks has been In Australia
making a study of the gold fields of
West Australia, New South Wales,
and New Zealand. As these mines
develop, which they are now doing
very rapidly, he predicts a very re
markable increase in the supply of
pol, amounting-, in fact, to a glut of
the yellow metal in the market. The
mines of West Australia are particu-
t'-ly prolific, hut have the disad
antagre of being in a country scantily
supplied with wood, water and means
of transportation. Hut these disad-
antages are beiujf rapidly overcome.
ho government is extending the rail-
oail from Perth to C'oolgardie, on to
Kalifoorlie, hotter known al Hoanus,
5 miles, an extraordinarily rich min-
ng region.
The government has also asked par-
iamont for $5,000,000 for the purpose
of laying 3,000 miles of water pipe. In
many places drinking water sclis for
2 shillings a gallon.

Chicago. July 31 Driven to despair
by different causes, six people at-
cide. Four succeeded and now lie in
different morgues awaiting the inquest
of the coroner. The dead are:
John Carrington, left home Wednes
day to look for work, body found in a
shed, and a. bottle which had held car
bolic acid was found by his side.
Ooss Frederick, drank carbolic acid;
77 years old, and has been out of work
for some time.
Michael Oppelt, despondent over ill
health; swallowed carbolic acid.
Eva Skulup, took rat poison; twenty
four years old, and has been out of em
ployment for two months.
Crop Badly Damaged.
Aberdeen, S. D., July 21. Later
reports of the heavy hailstorm indicate
extensive destruction of crops., It
started near Ipswich, passing south
east, completely destroying tbe crops
in a tract from six to eight miles wide
and fifty to sixty miles long. The
Hunter irrigation farm near Melottels
said to to completely mined. The
storm accompanied " by a heavy
wind which drove the hall with ter
rible force.
Cases of individual losses are not
obtainable, but the total will reach
many thousands of dollars, being the
worst storm that ever visited this part
of the state.
Death List Foots Tp 43.
Atlantic City, N. J., July 31. The
number of deaths by last night's col
lision now foots up 42 and the number of
injured 53, several of whom will pro
bably die,
Many of the bodies were mangled
beyond recognition. Corner Mc
Laughlin empanneled a jury this
morning to inquire into the cause of
the accident. The arrest of William
Thurston, telegraph operator at the
signal tower, confirms the theory that
a mistake in the display of the signals
was the cause of the accident. How
ever the arrest may have been merely
a formality.
Floor Rates Go l"p.
San Francisco, July 31 Rates on
flour to the Orient have been advanced
from $2 to $6 a ton by the Pacific Mail
Steamship company. It has been en
abled to do so by the increase on rates
between this city and Portland and
Sound points, and the tariff on rtoet
articles to the Orient is expected to be
augumented.
Internal Revenue.
Washington, July 31. The com
missioner of internal revenue in his
report shows: From epirits the re
ceipts were 80,670,0"0, an increase of
$803,771. Tobacco brought in a rev
enue of $30,711,629. or $1,006,721 more
than was derived from this source in
the preieeding year. There was a
general increase in all items under this
head, the largest being in cigarettes I
under the pounds per thousand, whose I
receipts were $2,021,001, or 374,37fl
more than in the proceeding year.

KI.KCTION IN ALABAMA.
The State Carried by the 1'nual Demo
cratic Majority.
'ONTGOMF.RY, Ala., Aug. 3. The
size of the democratic majority seems
all that remains in doubt, with regard
to the result of today's election. Be
cause of the slow counting under the
new ballot law, returns are necessarily
slow in coming in, but there is no
doubt of a complete democratic victory.
ocomplete retnrns from about half
the counties so far reeeivod indicate
democratic gains in all but Mobile and
Macon. In the former, the democrats
appear to have lost somo 500 votes by
tay-at-homes, but the comity is still
it the democratic column by 5't0 ma
jority. In Macon county, which gave
Oates a majority of 800 in 194, the
esult is close and doub'ful.
rtio populists, on the other hand,
ave carried Tuscaloosa county bv
000 majority. Jt gave Kolb 200 ma
jority two years ago. Marshall county,
hich went for Kolb by 600, is close,
and probably democratic. Lee county,
which had a populist majority of 500,
is like Marshall, Chambers county,
with 400 majority for Kolb In 1894, Is
In thedtiinocratio column. Tallapoosa
county, with 000 majority for Kolb at
the last election, is close, and may be
democratic. - Fayette, another .popu
list county, is in the doubtful column,
as are also Coosa and DeKalb.
In tho counties which Governor
Dates carried, two years ago, there
have been increased majorities in all
so far beard from, except two," -V.'

Browu Hoisting Works Employes are
Alarmed.
Cleveland, Aug. 3. The labor situ
ation in this city is arala critical. One
hundred and fifty nonunion men went
to work at the Brown hoisting works
this morning, guarded by four com
panies of miHUa and a large force of
police. A big crowd of union men
were present, but no outbreak occurred.
The police and soldiers kept the
strikers moving.
A sympathetic strike, threatene
ever since the strike at tho Brown
company's works began 11 weeks ago,
was inaugurated this morning. Eighty
seven men employed by the Van Wag
ner & Williams Company, hardware
manufacturers, laid down their tools
and walked out. They said their only
grievance was sympathy with the
Brown Hoisting Company's men.
Committees were sent to other factor
ies to notify the men that they were
called out. The leader of the Van
Wagner strikers said they would de
mand of Mayor MeKissen that the non
unionists be disarmed and if this was
refused, the strikers would arm them
selves and compel the uonunionists to
give up their weapons, by force if
necessary.
Shortly before noon Director of
Police Abbott ordered another com
pany of militia to the Brown works,
making five companies in -all. The
director said he had received private
information which satisfied him that
the condition of affairs is more serious
than appe on the surface.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 2. A startling
piece of news in connection with the
Brown strike, which comes from an
apparently reliable source, is to the
effect that the swlkers are arming
themselves and drilling. It was said
today that 40 of the st rikers had organ
ized a company last Saturday, elected
a captain and purchased revolvers.
TL 1 tlx t . , . ,
x no company uriueu aaturuay even
ing, and It was announced that th
purpose of the men was to avenge the
death of tho two who were shot at dif
ferent times in conflicts between union
and nonunion men.
James O'Connell. the head 'ot the
machinists' union, who was here in
charge of the strike, and who helped
to bring about the settlement under
which the men returned to work, came
back to Cleveland today. He was very
much chagrined to learn that the men
had struck a second time. He said
that he believed the company had en
tered luto the agreement with the
men In good faith, and ho was satisfied
the company intended to live up to its
agreement in every respect.
Four companies of militia are on
duty at the works tonight, and a large
force of police will be on hand iu thu
morning to prevent trouble when the
nonunion men go to work.

church, preached a sensational sermon
here tonight, on the conditio!! of mun
icipal affairs. Ho vigorously scored
the city officials, from the mayor down,
for their negiect to enforce laws, and
blamed them " for the recent ballot
robbery. The speaker said:
. ''Yve Wve uKi-'cbree years of awful
examples, and unpunished "'crl'inVhaJaJ.
are walking the streets. Go down , to
the otlicials and be laughed at for your
pains. The mayor, the muuicipul
judge, the attorneys, who are, sworn
to protect tho laws, will do nothing to
help you. This siege of crime has cul
minated in this ballot robbery, which
has burst on the community like
climax."

Walla Walla Grain.
Walla Walla, Wash., Aug. 1.
Harvest is now in full blast, and rouny
farmers havo Leaded and threshed
their grain. The general result shows
that the damage from hot winds was
not as great as was believed a few
weeks ago. Along the foothills and
around the city fall grain is yielding
heavily, while spring grain is fair.
On Eureka flat the grain is fair, and
the farmers will come out much better
financially than they expected. Around
the foothills wheat is averaging 50
bushels to the acre, and barley 80
bushels. On the fiat wheat will aver
age 20 bushels.
In the Waitaburg section the show
ing grows better, and the average
yield will be about 40 bushels to the
acre. Taking the entire county, fall
wheat will be a fair crop, and spring
wheat has been damaged about 20 per
cent. -

NAMES OF CHILDREN.
Custom of Baptismal Cbristeulns; and Odd
Results ot Mistakes.
Down to t!ie early p vt of the ptvwnt
ceutnrv it was usual to name a child
after the saint on-whose day he hap
pened to lie born. A writer lo Niites
, WSKa'" le."thor of th-- acts lncit-
and Querii
reep-WiTy baptized a child by the name
of lienjuinlu Simon Jude. On his ex
pressing some surprise at this some
what singular conjunction of names,
he was informed that the birth iiad
tukeii plaee on the festival of SS.
Simon and Jude, and that It was al
ways considered very unlucky to take
the day from a eliild.
The custom of naming children after
any particular saint has fallen into
general disu.se, except in those coun
tries where the population is composed
almost entirely of Roman Catholics.
The giving of a name in baptism is
really no essential part of the rite, but
is merely a custom derived apparently
from the Jews, and which through
long practice lias become an important
element in the ceremony.
Many instances might be furnished
of children who have inadvertently re
ceived wrong names. The registers in
Warminster church contain the follow
ing entries:
"1790, January 17, Charles, daughter
of John and Betty Haines. This child
ought to have been christened Char
lotte, but owing to a mistake of the
sponsors, it was wrong named."
"1791, July 31, William, daughter of
William and Sarah Weiddick. N. B.
It was intended that this child, being a
girl, should have been christened
Maria, but through a mistake of the
godfather it was named William."
WILL WITH A TIME LOCK.
Odd Testamentary Freak of an Eecentrlo
PolUh Land Owner.
The contents of a most eccentric will,
left by M. Zalesky, a rich Polish landed
proprietor, who died in the province of
Taurida in March, 1989, were recently
published, says the London Telegraph.
The property left by the deceased
was valued at seventy-five thousand
dollars, and his will was inclosed in an
envelope bearing the words: "To be
opened after my death." On this en
velope being opened, the executor
found a sealed envelope, on which was
written: "To be opened six weeks
after my death." The stipulated time
having elapsed, the second envelope
was opened and a third was found
with the words: "To be opened a year
after my death." At the end of the
year a fourth envelope was discovered
which was to be opened two years after
tbe death of the deceased.
This continued for five years, and
when, at length, in 1S91, the actual will
was read, it was found to be as eccen
tric in its dispositions as in the direc
tions attaching to its opening. The
testator bequeathed half of his fortune
to such one of his heirs as has the
greatest number of children. The rest
of his money he directed ta be placed
in a bank, and at the end of one hun
dred years, distributed, with the ac
cumulated interest, among the dq
scendants of the testator.
The heirs of the deceased, howe
have taken proceedings to test.

Reports of a serious revolt against
the present Chiuese . government In
Manchurin and the lisue of proclama
tions by the rebels declaring that the
Manchu dynasty is near its end hare
:reated a great deal of interest among
the foreign colony in the treaty porta,
says a letter from Shanghai News
that bears directly upon the reported
disaffection in many provinces of China
comes from Nanking. It appears that
all up through the great valley of the
Yangtse a finely written prophecy of
the approaching end of Manchu rule Is
being circulated. It is almost impossi
ble for a foreigner who has not lived
in China to understand the importance
that is given by the gentry to anything
which is well written or carefully
printed. If such a document does not
strongly, violate the probabilities it
will be accepted as Gospel truth. '
This prophecy, says the Chloago
Tribune, appears to be firmly believed
by all the Chinese who have read it. It
purports to have been written by Huan -Peh-Shan,
who in a vision describes
the downfall of the present govern
ment. - It shows considerable literary
ability, but anyone who is skeptical
readily see that the author has

The sketch of the emperors of China
is very well done, but this historical in
troduction appears to have been writ
ten merely to lull the suspecions of the
reader and to induce him to accept the
I sensational statements about the com-
! ing ruin of the Manchu dynasty. . The

first that will abandon the empire.
After this China will be divided into
three kingdoms, but this will not take
place and permanent peace will not be
secured until the woods are eleare4 ;
from Purple-mountain and the waters'
of Xotas lake .. are . 'dried .npr The
specious nature rof such a prophecy may
be seen when- it is stated that about
all the forest ha- been ' cut off of Pur j
pie mountain, while in -dry years ena
may walk over the bed of Lotus lafoy .
which is converted into solid ground ;
Any season of drought may therefore '
be taken. by the conspirators with the
j aaauranee mat tne two main rcema ot
this prophecy will be found fulfilled.'
In- Hunan there' is deep feeling
against the present dynasty because of
ts favor shown to foreigners. Hunan
Is the seat of a set of fanatics who
j would, rejoice to see every European ;
thrown out of China. In this provinoer ..'
have occurred the worst outrages on
Christian mlaaionarlea, - ud - su;n- .
journeying up the Yangtae retains
vivid recollections, of the showers of f
stones and olsccuity that descended :
upon his house-boat .from the neigh
boring , banks. Intercourse with,
foreigners seem only to intensify the
populur hatred of the European inter- ,
lopers. -who, they think, are encouraged
by Uie young r.mperor and his advis
ers. The worst feature of the situa
tion is that the central government
does not dare to rebuke tho insolence
of the Uun.in people. Thla has been
shown repeatedly in recent years,' but
the most conspicuous instance was the
failure to punish Chou Han, the author,
of the infamous II uuan traeta against
Christ ianity, which caused ull the peril
and suffering of missionaries in the
Yangbte valley. This man was proved .
iuLr ucouici w. wiruyr luruusu iuia

they were printed were found la hia
house, but he escaped on the. specious
pretext, trumped up by the governoa ..
of Cha ng Chu, that the man was insane,
and therefore beyond the reach of the
law!
Again in the recent Suneku massacre
of two Swedish missionaries the
viceroy of Hunan was first insolent,
then procrastinating, and finally,,
when forced to act, cuhpingly made
scapegoats of some of the best native
friends of the missionaries. He then
dilated on the thoroughness of his '
work and the Impartial punishment,
dealt out. Everyone recognized the,
mockery of the thing, but as no
European could follow out an investi
gation his report had to be accepted.
Since then elaborate protests have
been filed with the Taung-li Yamen
against the Injustice of the . proceed
ing. .
In any other country than China ,
such acts would have resulted in the
degradation of the guilty officials, but
the governor of Changcha and the '
viceroy of Hunan are both in. office '
and complacently defy their foreign
critics. . -
It is from Hunan, therefore, that we ,
may expect to see the first uprising .
against the present dynasty. There .
are already rumors of serious trouble,
but no one can ascertain the facts, be
cause the province is closed to Euro-'
peans, and the few native Christiana
dare not tell what they know for fear :
of the vengeance of the officials. ,
