Finally, while the Japanese ships were still firing at the is- land, six vessels lowered boats filled with marines armed with cutlasses and car- bines.

I knew I was hurt, but was too stunned to tell how or where, and the first thing I knew I found Miss Roberts beneath me and lifted some timbers off her and helped her out. I feel that I am in luck to escape as well as I did. I am hurt internally, but can- not tell how badly.” STRIKERS DISPERSED. Connolly and a. Large Number of Men Driven Away From Brooklyn City Hall.

Other “’arships \Vill Probably Be Hurricd to the Scene. ' SHANGHAI, Feb. 5.-——Nothing has been heard of the party of marines that set out from the United States warship Concord to rescue the group of their officers cap- tured by the Chinese at Chin-Kiang for accidentally shooting a. Chinaman while on a hunting expedition. Grave fears are felt for the safety of the entire party, since the Chinese were wrought up to an extreme pitch of resent THE CONCORD. ment over the killing of their countryman, and the marines Were sent out under or- ders to rescue their officers at all hazards. Under the circumstances it is generally feared a. fierce battle may be fought, since in their frenzy it is thought that the Chi- nese will not willingly surrender their pris- oners under any circumstances. Ships llIay Be Sent to China. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. -——Thercportcd kid- naping of the officers of the United States steamship Concord at Chin-Kiang in China reached Washington at too late an hour to permit it to be inquired into in naval or diplomatic circles. The situation will create a profound sensation beyond all question, and unless later reports show that the captured officers are at liberty other vessels will probably be hurried to the scene. Knowing the excited condition of the Chinese at the present time and the way in which they are likely to deal with prisoners, there will be great anxiety un- til the safety of the party is assured. A court martial will probably follow, as the policy of the United States government is to require unusual care in such cases. The Gunboat Concord. The Concord is now on the Asiatic sta- tion, the squadron there being under the command of Rear Admiral Charles C. Car- penter. She is an unarmored gunboat of 1,700 tons displacement and with engines of 3,400 horsepower, giving her a. speed of 17 knots an hour. Her armament consists of six 6 inch breechloading rifles, four six pounders and five quick firing Maxim guns. The Concord is commanded by Com- mander J. E. Craig. ,. In recent years the United States has had but one serious complication with any nation of the far cast. it occurred in 1887. when Commander Thomas O. Selfridgc incurred the enmity of the Japanese by ac- cidentally killing a native with a chance shot from his vessel while at target prac- tice Off the coast of Japan. He was tried by court martial for alleged carelessness and neglect of duty and was wholly and honorably acquitted by the court in June. 1888. To is now commander of the Bos- ton navy yard. llInic. Joniaux‘s Awful Sentence. BRUSSELS, I-‘eb. 5.—~Under the Belgian law Mme. Joniaux's sentence of death must be commuted to a. sentence of life imprison men t. But this life imprisonment is of such a hideous form that death must soon follow. They will put her in a cell into which daylight cannot penetrate. She will never see a human being, never hear a human roice again. They will push her food in through a slit in the wall of her cell. She will go mad at the end of a few Afflicted With Rheumatism. Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afllicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies without receiving any relief until I bought a. bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.

Feb. 5.—The late Robert L. Cutting was stricken with heart dis- ease in a Broadway car and died in Janu- ary, 1894. A codicil‘to his will disinher- ited his son, Robert Livingston Cutting, who contested the probate. His contest was based on the will of his grandfather, Robert L. Cutting. who died in 1871, leaving an estate valued a t 58, 000, 000. Young Cutting was named as ex- ecutor, with his Uncle Walter. He claims his father’s wealth consisted almost entirely of _ what he inherited " ‘ from the elder ' Cutting, and which. so the grandson claims, v was ultimately in- ROBERT L. CUTTING. tended for him. He brought suit to compel his Uncle Wal- ter to make an accounting. It has been compromised. The terms of the compromise were submitted to Surro- gate Arnold today. John M. Burns, attorney for one of the legatees, refused to say anything about the settlement. “The matter is in the hands of the court. ” he said, “and as soon as the com- promise has 'received the sanction of the surrogate it will become public property.” It is understood that Robert L. Cutting. who was disinheritcd for marrying Minnie Seligman, the actress, will receive one- third of the estate, amounting to about $400, 000. The legal bitch in the settlement and theprincipal question for the court to de- cide involves the protection of the inter- ests of James De Wolf Cutting during his minority. James De Wolf is 6 feet' tall. but is legally described as an "infant. ” He inherited most of his father’s estate and is understood to be willing to share with his brother Robert, but whether he can do so is a matter for the court to de- cide.
