The Yellow river fl’oods have destroy--
ed the crops, famine has resulted and
thousands of natives are reported to
be in a starving condition.
Thousands of hungry and ragged re—
fugees are moving doWn the river in
boats only to find the walls of the
cities closed against them.
The government appropriated three
hundred thousand 'taels for their relief,
but less than one-fifth of that money
has been distributed.
It is said that dishonest officials have
misappropriated the balance. A relief
fund has been started for them in
Shanghat
The Rev. B. Craig Patterson of the
Chin Kiang mission, North Kiangsu,
appealed to Americans for aid.
A panic prevails throughout Szech—
uen province. caused by the rehoist—
ing of the black flag of rebellion by
the outlaw Yumantze. After offering
to refrain from further depredations,
and receiving a. compensation therefor
from the Chinese authorities, Yumant-
ze has reassembled his followers and
started a new anti-Catholic crusade.
The French missionary Fleury is be-
ing heldby Yum‘antze’s band and
hopes of rescuing him have been aban—
cloned.
OUR FLAG ON THE MAINE
Raised Over the Wreck in Havana by Capt.
’ Sigsbeo’s Men.
Havana, Jan. 3.—-It developed yester—
day that the company of the Indiana
volunteer infantry which waved Cir-
ban flags during the parade Sunday
was not placed under arrest as at first
reported. __
Investigationvproved that *tHEl'l-l'a’gs
were given to members of the company
by Cubans in the crowd and that the
flags were thoughtlessly waved by the
cheering volunteers.
Tw enty- Il-ve Cubans, well mounted
and armed, joined the column at the
Prado and rode to Central Park turn-
ing into a side street. They aroused
much enthusiasm.
The seamen of the battleship Texas,
at 12.30 Sunday afternoon rowed to the
wreck of the Maine and hoiSted the
Stars and Stripes to the fore peak of
the wrecked battleship. The flag was
saluted byihe ships in the harbor. A
large American flag was also hauled,
to the top of the shears at the naval
dock. It could be seen for miles.

being appointed a‘ companion of the
Order of St. Michael and St. George
in recognition of his services as cap-
tain of the British first class armored
cruiser Immortalite, which was st...-
tioned at Manila during the war, which
the Times points out afforded him the.
opportunity to display tact and judg-
ment, of which he took every advan-
tage.
Mr. Sadlcr, the former British con-
sul at Chicago, is made a. knight coms
mandor of the Order of St. Michael
and St. George.
Connecticut Senatorship.
New Haven, January 3.—Feissenden-
men in this city are claiming that in
the senators-hip contest they have now
secflred the pledge for their candidate
of ninety members of the state legis-
lature out of 101 needed to elect. The
Hawley men still claim a clear mm
jority under the pledge, and that they
have lately secured almost the solid
delegation from Windham county, with
the understanding that Representa-
tive Russell will be second choice.
All the indications ..go to show that
the workers of the three candidates
are trying to get votes by deals with
Russell as a. reversionary candidate.
Bonapartlst Activity.
London, Jan. 3.—A dispatch from
Paris to the Exchange Telegraph Com-
pany says that the Bonanarti'sts, de-
spite their denials, are actively em-
ployed in organizing their forces.
Committees have been established
even in the small communes, for the
purpose of ascertaining the number ol
citizens likely to favor the restoration
of the Empire.
A Coal Mine on Fire.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 3.—A dispatch
to the Post-Dispatch from Carlinville,

Serious problem. Both branches of the
legislature have passed a lailroad bill
which railroad ‘ttorneys assert is not
worth the pap ‘ it is written 011.
It was announced yesterday that
Governor Leedy had signed the bill
‘ a. great revulsion
but as a matter of fact, he went to his ‘
home at Lawrence without doing so,
and his failure to approve the ‘meas-
ure, is prompted by a, desire to confer
with the steering committee with :1
view to changing it and having it re-
enacted under a suspension of the
I rules.
The constitution gives the governor
power to assemble the legislature in
extraordinary session when a grave
emergency demands it. The “emerj
gency” set forth in Governor Ledy’s
call was the necessity of railroad leg:
islation. Now, the legislature has
passd a bill which does not meet that
“emergency” until the first Monday in
April next, and one month after a
regular session of the legislature shall
have adjourned.
The railroads intend to contest the
new law on that ground, and have
announced that they will carry the
matter to the supreme court: of the
United States.
They will assert that no emergency
exists, and that if it did exist the new
law should have been made operative
at once. '
HELPLESS ON THE OCEAN
Efforts of the Newby to Aid the Stemship
Dart. V
Queenstown, Jan. 3.--The British.
steamship Newby, Captain Clark, from
Philadelphia on December 1 for this
port, has arrived here, and reports
having passed .the British steamship
Dart, a vessel of 2,056 tons register, on
December 2, in latitude 49 north and
longitude 18 west with her propeller
carried away
The New by towed the Dart for an
hour, when the hawser parted. She
then stood by the Dart for twenty—
seven hours, but was unable to get
another ha‘wser aboard the disabled
ship owing to the heavy sea.
Her own safety demanded that she
proceed, leaving the [Dart in a helpless
condition. '
The cabin of the Newby was flooded
and much interior damage was done.
Her lifeboats were stove in and her
deckwork was badly injured while at-
tempting to aid the Dart.
The second mate and a seaman of
the Newby were injured, all the pro-
visions on board were destroyed and
the crew lost part of"*their clothing.
Mr Aldridge’s Sucvssor,
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 3.—Many guesses
are being made in connection with the
appointment of the superintendent of
public works.
It is said that this, that and the oth-
er man are strong favorites and that
each is sure of the appointment. As
a matter of fact, the question is not
likely to be settled for a day 01‘ two
at least.
Governm Roosevelt has been de 1 nt-
ing his attention to other mattels since.
his arrival here. He did not approach
Henry H. Lyman and offer him the
position, as has been reported, nor is
Colonel John N. Partridge the leading
candidate, as a morning newspaper
said. '
A high official saw the governor Sun-
day night and advocated Colonel Par:
tridge’s cause with him, but he receiv—
ed no answer.
As the case stands, the next super-
intendent of public works may be
Erardiner, Lyman or some one else. per—
haps Charles Sooysmith. Each has an
equal chance.

Paris, Jan. 3.--The Journal has been
informed by a personage in the suite
of the (ex-Empress Eugenie that, on
the eve of her departure from Eng-

France and England, I would ask- God
to allow me to die béfore hostilities be-
gin.”
Three days later, it is added, the:
secretary of the ex-empreSs commu-
nicated the words of Queen Victoria to
the French foreign office. -

threatening to break into flames of
disorder. .
But at the last moment General
Brooks had a happy thought. He in--
vited the Cuban generals Mayia. Rod.
riguez, Mario Menocal and Rafael do
Cardenas to the feast atria turned the
tide of resentment into joy.

Where missiles and ebithets had been
hurled at him by a. frenzied a’nd mis-

city.

cide at his home Saturday night.

house, then returned to his home and

iety were the cause, although as late
as Friday evening he seemed to be in
the best of spirits.
