C., July 23.4101}: steam ship Empress e-f India, which arrived here yesterday from China and Japan, brings advices that Li Hung Chang is credited by l Chinese papers with the remark, .Now, China has made a treaty with Brule, our countrymen can go there and never mind 3 the United States.” _ Chinese consulates are to be established 5 at several points on the Paelfic coast, l among them Victoria and Portland. . l E. F. Brandon, marshal at the United, States consulate general’s office in Shang- hai, has committed suicide. The leader of tlle 'Wullu riots has been arrested at Shanghai and handed over If. the Chinese authorities. . , The band of Chinese pirates in Hair-4 have been completely wiped out by tlw French forces, but punishment seems t-C be no deterrentto others, as armed attacks on villages are reported to be very com- mon. The whole southern portion ol China is in a state of turmoil, as law and order are set at defiance and armed bands of plunderers make business almost im- possible. Li Hung Chang is making arrange ments to start a million dollar cotton fac— tory at Shanghai. The feeling at Shanghai on account 01 the late Chinese riots is one of disquietude, and foreign residents are not sure but that attacks will be made upon them at any time. STARTING A FOSTER l “001“. That’s What the Chicago Tribune Says of John Sherman. CHICAGO, July 23.—A Tribune special from Cincinnati says: “The probable rea- son of the continued presence of Senator John Sherman in Cincinnati has leaked out at last. Mr. Sherman has come to the conclusion that he stands a poor chance for re-election, and he is trying to start a boom for Charles Foster, secretary of the treasury. Sherman has no use for Fora- ker, and will do all he can to beat him. “During his stay here Senator Sherman has had talks with most of the prominent politicians of his party in this city. He has quietly hinted that in the event of his not being able to succeed himself he would like Mr. Foster to have the place. It is known that Mr. Foster wants to go to the senate, and as he has lots of money and the patronage of the administration, he will make it interesting for Foraker, who will have the entire Hamilton county dele- gation at his back." THE BARDSLEY llIATTER. Seine Decided Action to Be Taken by the State Soon. PHILADELPHIA, July 23.—The general expectation that some decided action will be taken by the state officials in reference to the disclosures made by the expert' who investigated Bardsley’s accounts, in- volving the state treasurer’s office and Auditor General McCamant’s oflicial con nection with the Bardsley frauds, is likely to be realized. The governor has referred the report oi .the experts to the attorney general to take "civil action to recover the stolen state funds and to prosecute those who have in any way made themselves amenable to the criminal laws of the state. The arrest and prosecution of prominent state officers is likely to follow. Big Four Men Out. SPRINGFIELD, 0., July 23.—’1‘lle entire force of yard switchmen, night and day men, on the Big Four road here, thirty- eight in number, went on strike last even- in g at 7 o’clock.

The continued good crop news, the reports of the railroads showing better prospects and the dis continuance of the gold exports were attributed for The strength of prices in the face of the ex. trelne inactivity.
