San Francisco aespeteh eaye ; A con respondent writing frorn Yokohama, Japan, -under date of May 21et, saya "Some unemeinees prevaila among foreigners in the Jepaneee capital owing to developments wiaioh eheve followed the murder of the Canadian naisaionary, the late Rev. T. A. Lerge. The excitement oc- casioned by the now of the murder had just died away when one of the best known foreignera in the city found himself a viotim of oireemstnaims which compelled his departure, and following close upon that another rnissiouary was set upon by a crowd of students, e.nd eeriously out by knives, "On May 6th Rev. Jame e Summers, for many yeara peat proprietor of the Englieh echool at Tokio, patronized by the uobiliety, was driving in one of the principal thoroughfares of Tokio with his wife when the carriage of the Dowager Empress, mother of the preeent Mikado, approached with a cavalry escort. When a member ot the Royal family passes, it is oustornary for people along the street to uncover their haute, and Summon reined in hie horse into the side of the etreet and halted. As the carriage approached he took off hie bat, replacing it as soon as the carriage was past him. One of the escorts in the rear of the carriage notima big hat, and brought his lance in line with it so that the cavalry- man etruck Summers a severe blow on the head. The soldier was at once arrested and court-martialled. "The native press immediately took up the matter, and muale feeling against the foreigners was manifested by the rough student element known as the Shoz, who were inflamed by the report that Summers had been guilty of an act of disrespect to. wards the Empress Dowager. They called repeatedly at his school, and so alarmed Summers that he left the school in the hands of the police, and sailed on the 16th inst. by a steamer for his home in England, leav- ing his family in the care of friends. The Shoz are greatly exoitea, and foreigners are fearing serious outbreaks. Unfortunately Mr. Summers is the same man who, about forty years ago, caused the death of the Governor of Memo, iu China, by refusing to remove his hat when a Corms Christi pro- cession was peaeing. He was thrown hate prison by the Portuguese, was rescused by an English Admiral, and impending the excite- ment the Portuguese Governor and one other person were killed. " On the 17th inst. the Japanese students of the Presbyterien school, hnown as Helji Caknin, started to play a game of baseball with the students of the Cab Seigakko, a preparatory school and the feeder to the Imperial University at Tokio. The Rev. G. W. lams, the Anaericen miesionary, teacher in HO Cakuin, accompanied the students from this school. While the game was in progress another American missionary, the Rev. S. Imbrey, of New Jersey, a teacher in the same school, went to the grounds and stepped up over a low hedge -fence into the field. He was set upon by the Shoz, and beaten about the head and body and suatained injuries and knife out about the head. No cause is .given foe the act. He will recover. " Leas fear is being shown by the Shoz of the polioe, and the outcome of the excite- ment is the topic of general earmise. The American squadron on the Asiatic; station heel not had a vessel stationed in Yoko- hama harbor since the flagship Omaha left two months ago for Kobe, at which port she is still stationed. The Monooaoy is in Chinese waters, and the Swatara is at Chemulpo, whither she carried the family of United States Minister Herd. This vessel is expected within a week at Nagasaki, whither she briugs ex -United States Minister Dinsmore." .itOXIAIRP MESSENGER, Escapes With the Swag After lima' Agents Stop the "Train. A. St. Penh Kinn., despatch says: The Northern Pacific east -bound paesenger train, which aeriyed here toonght, was robbed by masked men near New Salem, N. D„ litet night. Two rages east of New Salem and twenty-five mike west of Mandan the engineer and firemen were surprised by two masked men climbing over the tender, presenting big revolvere, and ordering the train to be steamed. The am:omens was obeyed. Esprees Illemenger Angevin, hearing shots fired forward, and euepeoting something, hid a600 in money from the safe, looked the small safe, put out the lights, and ran back to New Salem. The mail oar was fleet tutted by the robbers. Only one mail agent was in it, and he obeyed orders by turoing over the mail matter. A number of registered letters were rifled, and then the robbers turned their attention to the express oar. 'This they forted deeerted, much to their chagrin, and mistaking the fireman for the express messenger, they ordered him at the point of pistolto open the safes. He protested and finally satis- fied the robbers that he anew nothing about it. Then the train was allowed to back to New Salem, and finally came on east. The expreas messenger got on the train as it telt New Salem. The paseengere were not touched. One put his head out of the window, but was told to got his head blues and a bullet whizzed past hie head. The sheriff e,nd it posse, mounted, and armed, left Mandan early this morning on it special train for the scene al the robbery. The robbers compelled Engineer Kilmartin to break in the door of the postal oar. Only four masked men were eeen, and suspicions are rife that only two were engaged in the work. La the mail car the mask fell from the face of one man. The district around New Salem is peopled by quiet, lima abiding citizene. The robbery is presumed to be the work of people unknown in that part of the country.

Seven out of a Party of Eight Eleazure- Seekers Drowned. A Boston despatch says: About 6 o'clock Sunday morning eight yoang men started on a fishing excursion in a sailboat. When they were about a mile from the Thompson's Island, in Dorchester Bay, the boat was struck by it equal' and capsized. All but one were swimmers, but instead ol trying to swim ashore they tried to climb on the boat, which wita.so heavily ballasted that their weight would force her beneath the surfam, leaving them strug- gling in the water. In thia manner the strength of the men was exhausted, and they sank one by one until but one was left. The survivor, Walter Quinlan, had sunk Lor the last time, when the boat rising, came up under him, lilting him above the surface. He floated unconacions for some time, when the boat was seen frora the shore by employees of the gasworks at Cow Pasture point, who went out, brought him to shore and resusoisted him. Nebraska's Big Storm. A. special from Weston, a village seven miles below Underwood, Neb., says the beat part of the town ie under from five to fifteen feet of water. Corn cribs containing 100,000 bushels of oorn will probably be it total loss. Heavy losses of cattle and sheep are reported. The track and bridges of the Rock Island and Milwaukee roads are gone.

A London cable says : The Anchor Line steamer City of Rome, Ceptain Young, from New York, May 31st, arrived at Queenstown at 10 o'clock this morning. The vessel had a narrow ems,pe from destruction at Fastnet. She made land in it dense fog e.t 4 o'clock this morning. She was going slowly and Was taking soundings when, notwithstanding the care exercised, she struck Fastnet rook about three miles seaward, off Crookhaven, bow on. Her forefoot got on the rock, and but for the promptitude displayed iu reversing the engines a great fatality would have been recorded. Passengers who were inter- viewed scar the steamer trembled all over when he tartlets the rock. For it time there yeas intense alarm on board, the density of the fog adding to the ominous cherecter of the eituation. The passengers were finally quieted by the repeated assur- ances ot the commander and other officers of the steamer that not the slightest danger existed. The full extent of the damage will not be ascertained until the steamer is docked at Liverpool. Her stem is broken at the peak and she shipped a large volume of weaer forward. The steamer started for Liverpool at 11 o'clock, proceeding ea half speed. It is rumored that the fog gun onFastnet rock was not fired notil after the City of Rome had struck.

Be Touched it Live Wire. , A Baltimore despatch of Sunday says: Charles Frazier, an employee in Kern's saloon, went into the cellar last night to get a keg of beer. In his work he caught an electric light wire and was instantly killed. The smell of burning flesh attracted the attention of Kern and he went to assist .Frazier, but as soon as he touched the body he received it shook which knocked him eenseless. He was restored to con- sciousness after some labor. Frazier was terribly burned. The Farmers Will Take a Rand. A St. Paul despatch says: The Rama live Committee of the Farmers' Alliance held it secret meeting here on Friday to consider the advisability of placing in the ,field it tioket at the coming election. Not having heard from enough of the local alliances, to which the matter was referred, action Wag deferred.

A London cable says: The Times de- clares that the order to despatch American °masers to Behring Sea smacks too much of the methods of the first Napoleon in dealing with weak statesmen, and that if the order is executed British men-of-war must follow. "We can only imagine," the Times continues, "that pressure from Irish- AtelerieealS 1168 induced Dlr. Blaine to with- draw from his apparent deeire for it diplomatic settlement. We believe Eng- land will agree to a close time for seals in the open sea, but auoh an arrangement must be international, and cannot be im- pend upon the world by American gun- boatsmt the bidding of Mr. Blaine." limed at a Religious Fete, A San Jose, Costa Rica, despatoh says : While it religioua prom:mien ih celebration Of Corpus Chrieti was passing through Central Park here On Thursday the iron railing bordering the western prornenade gave way, falling on a crowd assembled to witneee the apeetaole.

TUX EANAeha CANAL, The Great Saving it Will Provo to the World's commerce, The /medal Panama Cane' Commission has prepared a &mil report on the pros - ',locative earnings of the (anal he mule it is completed. In thie the annual coat of maintenance is pieced at 5,600,000 trams - The expenses of administration are placed at 1,800,000 frame annually, and the cost of transit is eetimeteci at 10,000,000 francs annually. The itinerate for the first four years is eatiene.ted at 61,250,000 frame. This is oelculeted on an average amnia tonnage for that period of 4,100,000 tone, and the proposed rate of charge per ton is twelve and one-half francs. The comnais- Bien eetimatee that after the first four years there would be an annual increase in the tonnage of 250,000 tons until a maximum tonnage of 6,000,000 be reached.

What to De atom orners. A. corner is it good pla,oe for bric-a-brac shelves. , A series of three or five, one above the other, nen be put tip by mewing narrow cleaets against the wall; a fringe or a narrow embroidered or painted band, or strips of felt out in fringe, three or four inches deep, tacked on with braes -headed teaks, or with common tacks covered by it braid, ornamented with stitches of gold - colored silk, will finish the shelves prettily and hide the °teats. Another way of arranging corner shelves for books or brie-a•brao is to place them one above the other until as high as the top of the door casings. Belore fastening the top shelf, put at eaoh end of the front miae screw eyes such as are need for hang- ing pictures; gild the eyes and run it beam rod or gildea wire through them. On this wire, by brass rings or gilded button rings, bang a drapery ot any light material con- venient. Laoe or darned net should be lined with color. China silk is pretty, and as only one width is needed it is inexpene sive. Cheeeeoloth embroidered with any amall figure, as rosebuds, daisies, etc., in crewels of colors to harmonize with the aurroundings, and tiny tassels of the same crewels on one edge would be exceedingly dainty. Loop baok about three or four feet from the floor, set a jar or figure, urn or jug, on the top shelf. Again, a oorner is a good place for it mirror, with a round stand under it for holding a lamp. Over the mirror, two bright folding fans can be fastened, bring- ing the sides together et the angles. Or have is bracket shelf above for vase of grasses, ete., and hang a drapery 'from it to loop back et either side of the mirror, or attach the drapery to it rod plimed across the corner. A corner is it very cozy place for a email writing -desk or table. Place a bracket shelf three feet from the ceiling, if high ; if low, plaoe it curtain pole or brackets olose to the oeiling, hang draperies heavy or light according to surroundings, and loop back about three feet here the floor. With a lamp and the curtains drawn, this makes of an evening a cozy little study, where one may reed and write as privately as if alone, with the room full of people, A corner between windows as,n be made to simulate it bay window, by arranging the draperies morose the oorner. If one or both of the windows have it sunny ex- posure, by placing shelves across them, and the opener likewise, the shelves filled with plants, you change it into a tiny conservatory. With it song bird hanging in gilded cage, between your looped back draperies, you have it bit of eummer for the darkest winter's day. lilies Beauty (loftily)—" 01, yes, I'll excuse you.

Cure for Dipsomania. Those most bopelesely addicted to atom hone beverages would seem to have found it friend in a certain Russian medical prac- titioner, Dr. Pombrak by name. He has recently contributed an article on alco- holism to the Ikteditsinshoe Obozrenie, in wlaiola he describes seven oases of ine- briety treated by hypodermic injeotiona of strychnine. He states that in cases of chronic alcoholism and of dipsomania he has found strychnine it very valuable remedy. Not only are attacks cured, bat the desire for drink ceases to exist. Even oases of delirium tremens yielded in large measure to the influences of the method adopted. The treatment, however, would seem to be somewhat tedious, requiring to be carried ont systematically and most frequently for long periods of time. Dr. Pombrak has, in some exceptional in- stances, prescribed doses of one -fifteenth of a grain, thougla in general doses of half that amount have been given, and, while under the treatment in question, patients have abstained frora all spirituous liquors of their own free will.—St. James' Gazette, gi I see eornehody has introduced a bill in Congrese to prevent this ocean reoing.

Free Dinners for School children. Free dinners, which the Vienna school ohildren have been so fortunate as to have provided for them during the winter, were stopped e,t the end of last month, mnoh to the regret of the little ones. Our corres- pondent says that they will begin again in November. Four hundred tkiousand per - tions were served in thirty-three days to 3,000 children. Many of the school ohil• dren brought their little brothers and sisters to slatire the dinner with them, and the portions of Such children were always extra large.
