The Salvation Army Hope to Follow in ' the Footsteps of Japan. San Francisco, May 14. Another army is about to invade China, though the campaign will be conducted on dif ferent lines from that of the Japanese. The Salvation Army is going to try to conquer the Orient and bring the mill ions of Chinese in the folds of Christianity;- The leader of the movement is'Fong'Foo Sing, a' young Chinese and ' member' of the Salvation army here, and who is employed as a type writer in the offloe of . the War Cry. He said to a reporter: "I expect that the army at the proper time will send me to China. To go to China was really the object that led me into the Salvation Army. I wanted to do, something for my oountry along army lines. : The late war, I believe, has made China open her eyes. As a result, the way will be open for Chris tianity, civilization and, other good things." Captain Fong expresses himself fluently in English, but uses some ex pressions that are peculiar. The fol lowing is a note that he wrote for the reporter: : ; . "l fully believe that when we have a Chinese work started in a prosperous way,' lots of -Christian Chinese will rally around us and file beneath our colors to bring China to Christ Yours to liok the devil."

THE LABORS OF THE COMMISSION As a Result the Powers Have Suggested to the Porte the Necessity of ' Reforms in That Land. Constantinople, May 16. The com mission whioh has been investigating the atrocities in Armenia traversed the devastated villages and arrived at Jel ligoosan, where 120 houses were found burned. The people were sheltered in miserable huts, and ample proof was found of the massacre of the Armenians. The bodies were thrown into a pit, where the Turks endeavord to conceal their crimes by pouring barrels of pe troleum .upon the bodies and setting fire to the oiL The flames, however, failed to oonsume the mass, and a stream was darned and diverted from its course in order to wash away the half -burned bodies, but even this failed to obliter ate the terrible evidenoe against the Turks. The local authorities were compelled to remove the remains piece meal. Villagers had removed the bulk of the bodies and interred them in con secrated ground before the arrival of the oomimssion at Jelligoosan. The commission returned to Moosh, which Tilace thev left Atiril 5. The Turkish delegates at terst declined to aooommpany them, and then ohanged their minds. They found the villages of Shenik and Gernol- in ruins, brand ing in the midst of devastated fields. They passed other villages where many houses were burned. At Jelligoosan caused two pits instead of one, as origi nally reported,, to be opened, and found in them skulls and bones, with hair and clothing still adhering. ' In- still another pit in a ravine, near Jelligoo san, were found decapitated trunks and other remains; but few whole bodies, however, were found. The villagers told the delegates they had removed the bodies from this pit. The exhala tions from the pits were so frightful the delegates experienced great trouble in prevailing upon the laborers to finish their .horrible task. As a result of the investigation and the reports of the delegates, the powers have submitted notes to the Turkish government, impessing upon the porte the necessity of promptly inaugurating a scheme for Armenian reforms, whioh should include the appointment ' of Christian officials in Armenia, the powers to have the right to veto the ap pointments of the governors. The notes of the delegates do not base their suggestions on the asserted outrages, but on the generally unsatisfactory con dition. '. - ' - .;. A CRISIS IS REACHED. '. Great Britain It ef uses to Enforce the ,' Sealing Regulations. Washington, May 16. An ugly crisis has been reached in the negotiations between the United States and Great Britain looking to the adoption of uni form regulations for the government of the seal fisheries this season. The British government positively refuses to enact the regulations of last year, whioh prohibited the carrying of fire arms by sealing vessels through the sea north of the 25th parallel during the olosed season. The United States offi cials look upon this as disastrous to the seal fisheries, holding that the result will be to relieve the pelagic sealers of the only restriction which has operated to prevent an unlimited slaughter of the herds. While killing by firearms remains illegal, it is realized it will be impossible to enforce this prohibition if arms oan be freely carried. Sealers would kill seoretly, unless; they should happen to be under the very eye of a revenue cutter. Meanwhile the United States outtera have gone out under- the old instructions to seize all vessels car rying arms : not under., seal. r 5 These must be modified speedily by orders sent through the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer, which leaves San Franoisoo in a day or two, or else there may be another big claim for damages on aooount of illegal seizures filed by the British government. The attitude of the latter is viewed with much dis satisfaction at - the state- department, whioh is considered as evidenoe of the unwarrantable concession to Canadian pelagic sealers. It is also held that the effeot of the British aotion is to practi cally nullify all measures of protection for the seals that was conferred by the Paris arbitration, and it would not be surprising if this course is persited in if it resulted in a declaration by the United States of the abrogation of , the treaty. ' Frightened a Man to Death.' Bowling Green, Ky., May 16. Mil ton White, a farmer, has been indicted for murder. " It is charged that his vic tim, William Hines owed him $1,000.

Seattle, May 16. Elijah Brown, alias J. W. Howard, called on the As sociated Press correspondent today and asked him to announce that he was ready to return to the Kansas state prison at Leavenworth, from which he escaped three years ago, while serving a term for burglary. He said that he was arrested in 1886 for burglary, but escaped from jail. He was rearrested and sentenced for one year. After his release he was arrested with two others for burglarizing a restaurant at Cha nute, Kan. . He was . sentenced for twelve years, but, after serving four years, escaped from the Leavenworth penitentiary and came West. Since then he has been hounded, though he has lived honestly. For some months he has been working at a boarding house, using his true name, Elijah Brown. For some time, he says, he has been endeavoring to become a Christian, but his past life stood as a barrier before him. At last on Satur day night he was converted at a Salva tion Army meeting, and then deter mined to tell his story, . but could not muster up ; courage until : today. He gives his address as Corps No 1, Salva tion Army, Seattle. ; The school board decided to resist the order of the health board closing two of the publio schools on account of the prevalence of scarlet fever. The school board denies the authority of the health board in the matter, and will secure a decision on a test case in the courts. HAWAIIAN ROYALISTS. The Honolulu Police Believe They Are Plotting in This Country.1 Los Angeles, May 16. Chief of Po lice Glass has received a letter from Honolulu which conveys the informa tion that Los Angeles or its vicinity has been selected as the headquarters for the operations of a section of ' the royalist faction,' which is seeking to overthrow the Hawaiian republic. The epistle arrived at San Pedro May 6, and comes from the marshal's office of the republio, and the envelope bears the label, "Department of the attorney general, Hawaiian islands, bureau of police. " ' The letter is marked per sonal, and reads as follows: ' "I have received information that a filibustering party is being formed at or near your city for the purpose of overthrowing this republio. I know that $150,000 has been subscribed here for that purpose. Please investigate and inform me as soon as possible, that I may be able to give this government timely warning. There are signs of great activity here among royalists, and I think we shall soon have trouble. The letter ' was signed "A. D. Mo- Evoy, ' secret 1 service, Hawaiian isl ands." Chief Glass has investigated and has replied that he finds no sign of the reported filibustering expedition in this vicinity. The Hawaiian authori ties seem to think that arms are to be purchased here and loaded on vessels at San Pedro, thence to sail secretly for one of the outlying islands of the Ha waiian group. . : ON THE BLACKLIST. Southern Pacific Ex-Employes Will Sue That Company for Damages. : San Francisco, May . 16. The: em ployes of the Southern Pacific Company who took part in the strike of last sum mer and have been unable to secure employment since are likely to fol low the example of William J. Shea, of Toledo, O. , and bring suits against the company for damages. The mem bers of the A. R. U. say that since the strike ended they have found that their names were on the blacklist of every road in the oountry. . The Southern Paoifio Company will not employ them. It is.no use,, they claim, for them to go to any other part of the country to seek employment on railroads. They con sider that they have a right to demand damages and to compel the railway company .to remove, their names from the blacklists. Many prominent attor neys are of the same opinion, and are getting ready for the suits, which they expect will soon be filed. ... ,r Sailors Will Turn Miners.' r r, San Francisco, May 16.

CORBETT MUST FIRST APOLOGIZE The Englishmen Are Offended by the ' Champion's Sneering Allusions ' to Their Club. : London, May 15. A crowded meet ing of the National Sporting Club was held tonight, at which the secretary read the dispatch addressed by Brady to the elub,-expressing Corbett's will ingness to meet Jaekson before the club. Jackson was present dressed in the latest style. He made a speech, begging the club to put up a purse and let him have a chance to meet Corbett. His proposition, however, met with no response, owing, it is said, to Cor bett's sneering allusions to the Na tional Sporting Club. It was decided to decline to put up a purse. Peter Jackson said tonight , to a re porter: "I do not think Corbett is in earnest this time. He knows he is mr popular ' with the National Sporting Club, and had little reason to expect it to hang up a purse. Then it is very near the close of the season, and its books are full for the next season. , I feel, and I told the club, as though my last chance of meeting Corbett is gone. He knows we cannot fight in America. Since the action of the Louisiana legis lature there is no place where we can meet. There is no other club that will hang up a purse. I will meet Corbett anywhere, and have always been anxious to do so. You will re member that my challenge has always been open to him. But I do not think Brady is in earnest about this proposal. He must surely have known how un popular Corbett is with the National Sporting Club. I have done all that is in my power, and am now ready to leave England. I shall sail for America soon after Derby day and go direct to San Francisoo." , , ; The Sporting Life says that at the meeting of the Nationl Sporting Club, Matchmaker . Fleming, after reading Manager Brady's dispatch, asked for an expression of opinion. : The meeting boiled over and there were shouts that there could be no , contest unless- Cor bett publicly apologized to the club. It quotes Jackson as saying: "I do not blame you for the stand you' have taken in this matter. I thought I might get a chance at Cor bett my only one. I am sorry I can not get the contest, and suppose I shall have to find another occupation for my old days. I will stop in England a lit tle longer, in case something should turn up." ' : 1 ' - OUTRAGES ON SAILORS. The Case Against the Seattle Boarding : House Runners. ' Seattle, May 15. Thomas W.Wright and Thomas J. Newman, : non-union sailor boarding-house men, were dis charged in the criminal court today, where they had been brought on infor mation sworn to by Paddy Glynne, of the sailors' union, charging them with carrying concealed weapons. The testi mony showed that the men's lives had been threatened and they went armed under a permit from the mayor.- De velopments at the trial have brought to light many brutal outrages on - non union sailors, , shipped by . Wright & Newman. ; John Anderson was attacked after he had gone on board the Maggie Ross and felled to the deck by-two men, "who quickly sprang ashore. John Borie, who alsj-shipped on the Maggie Ross, was met on a trestle, and his bundle of clothes and bedding and hat thrown into the bay." John Fegan, of the barkentine Eureka, was set upon and kicked in the mouth and a number of the crew induced to leave their ships.

The postmaster-general has decided ' to establish a marine mail service at Detroit for the free delivery and collection of mail matter of vessels that pass up and down the Detroit river and carry a floating population of 2,500 to 8,000. More tonnage passes Detroit than any other city in the. world. During the season of navigation on the lakes a vessel passes Detroit every seven minutes dur ing the day. The new . service will therefore be continuous and will be conducted by means of a steam launoh, which will be used by the ' postal em ployes. " The new service will be main tained through the free delivery ap propriation in the bureau of the first assistant postmaster-general. " Mail will be delivered to the vessels by car riers, just as it is to ordinary business houses. -.. " , ' -. The Negroes Must Go. " Houston, : Tex. , ' May 1 5.

Washington, May 15. An arrange ment has been effected between the United states and Great Britain in which October is set as the time for the assembling in Washington of a committee to negotiate a treaty as to the claims of sealers on account of the Behring sea seizures. - Delegates will come from Canada to meet the authori ties here. The report coming from Victoria that -the British government has vacated the sealing regulations because of the non payment by the United States of the $425,000 claimed for seizures, is said to be due to a misapprehension. In view of the fact that the committee will meet in October to consider the seiz ures, there are, it is stated, no presest grounds for complaint for nonpayment. Moreover, it is learned that the report from Victoria is based on a misunder standing of the word "sealing" which does not apply to the seal animals, but to the locks or seals by which imple' ments used in sealing are locked up during the close season. 1 From authoritative sources the sub' stantial features of the text of the new British regulations have been secured Last year a rule was made that sealers could go to Japan or other proximate territory where a British consul or other officer would seal up the ammuni tion, guns, etc, used in sealing. . Ves sels having arms thus sealed up were allowed to remain in Behring sea dur ing the close season. ; They were not subject to search and seizure, as the seal on their arms was a guarantee that they were not capturing - f urbearing animals. ' But the British admiralty has found that this rule is imprac ticable. In one case a shipmaster concealed arms and used them in the close season, although he had another set of arms sealed up as a guarantee against inspec tion.. In another case, the apparatus used for life-saving was seized under the impression that it was used for kill ing seals. Owing to these objections, the British authorities have determined to abolish this one rule, but not all of them, and notice to this effeot has been given. The effect has been to make it unnecessary for vessels to go to - Japan or elsewhere and have their arms sealed during the close season. It is said, however, this will not permit British ships to ptfach during the close season. The law against this is in the British statute books in the same words as adopted by the Paris court of arbitra tion. The abolition of the rule, will not, it is said, permit the violation of the law against the use of arms in the close season. British naval vessels will patrol the sea as usual, and the list of these patrol ships is daily expected. CHARGES AGAINST HUGHES. An Emissary of the Interior Department Makes an Investigation.
