It was the purpose of the health department, Dr. Ed- son announced, to ask from the board of estimate and apportionment a sufficient ap- propriation to establish a plant for the pro- duction of this infallible specific, which otherwise would be too costly to be within the means of poor people.

Bloodthirsty mongolians Keep Up Xhelr Hostile Preparations and Con- tinue the Worlt of Butchering Each Other —Spies are Decapitated. SHANGHAI, Aug. 28.—The activity of the Chinese in hunting down Japanese spies in- creases every day. If the Chinese are to be believed, the coast must be overrun with agents of the Japanese government. Seven Japanese, in Chinese costums, were arreBted here Saturday, and is given out that they will be expelled from China, but nobody would be surprised if they were treated more severely. The Japanese elsewhere are subjected to the most harsh treatment. At tbe island of Formosa, the Chinese authorities have been decapitating Japanese subjects, supposed to be spies, in large numbers, According to adviceB received here from Formosa, fifty Japanese have had their heads cut off re- cently, after having been arrested ae spies. The most intense heat prevails here, and there is much suffering in consequence. In order to raise money to push the war- like operations, the Chinese government has increased the transit dues o n yarn. The letter from Chemulpo, Corea, re- ceived at Ohe-Foo Saturday, announcing the defeat of a Japanese force and the kill- ing of 1,300 Japanese soldiers, is much commented upon here. If the report of the battle is correct, the Chinese calvary, in dividing the Japanese force i n two parts, did excellent service, and the subsequent heavy fire of the Chinese artillery from an eminence, causing great havoc in the ranks of the soldiers of the Mikado, would seem to denote generalship of no mean order up- on the part of the Ohinose commander. A dispatch from Tien-Tsin says: \in imperial edict which has just appeared, condemns the officers responsible for the recent outrages on missionaries, and orders that they be beheaded. The actual crimi- nals are rebuilding the chapels and liberal compensation will be given to relatives of the victims. Li Hung Chang has expressed regrets t o the British minister.

The presi- dent has been painfully silent as to what course he would pursue in the matter since the passage of the bill, and permitted the last opportuniiy i n which he could send a message to congress to escape. In a letter to Representative Catchings of Mississippi, however, he gives hia reasons very plainly for not approving the measure. He declares there are provisions in it which are not in line with honest tariff reform and that it contains inconsistencies, crudities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind.In a word he does not liiie the bill and says so; he does not like the inci- dents which accompanied its passage through Congress, but makes the best of the hole in which he has been placed, by saying that notwithstanding the bad treatment the measure received at the hands of pretended friends, it presents a vast improvement to existing conditions, although not enough to warrant his signa- ture. However, he refuses to permit h.m- self to be separated from his party to such an extont as might be implied by a vetd. The President still has hopes for tariff re- form of the kind he would like to see, but just now they appear very much shattered. Sis letter is a strong arraignment of those legislators who are controlled by trusts'and monopolies. Dr. WebVti Bi« Claim. Dr. William Seward Wobb, the railroad magnate, who owns a vast preserve around. Albany lake, in the Adirondacks, has filed a claim against the state of New York for $187,000 for damages to his property claim- ed to be overfbwed by the construction of dama in the Beaver river.

Robinson of West Pierrepont, St. Lawrence county, met with a terrible ac cident in his saw mill at that place on Thursday. He came out of it with three ribs broken, MB arms and head lacerated, and his whole body a mass of cuts and bruises. .In an attempt to shift a belt ho was hurled on to tho carriage of the mill and then pounded by the rapidly revolving belt. One end of the belt was on a wheel revolving 500 times a minute. He started to slip the other end on a stationary pulley. Just as he was about to do so the belt be- came tangled on tho opposite wheel, and with terrific force dashed him against tho carriage. He fell in just such a position that the heavy bell, in its revolutions pounded him like a huge flail. It is feared no can not recover. Crayon Portraits For SI.
