THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1891. 5 WAR WILL CONTINUE C1IIXA PRGPAKKG TO DRAW OS nun LATENT FORCR9, Overture for I'ence Hnvlnc Been Rejected British CaMnet ItebufTed Afghanistan' Ameer Dying. LONDON'. Oct. 13.

dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsln, which will be published to-morrow, says "that the Pel-Yang squadron has been able to leave dock, completely refitted with magazines filled and otherwise ready for active service. Another dispatch to the same paper says that an Imperial edict has been published at Peking assuming for the government full responsibility for the protection of foreign residents, denouncing rowdyism and punishing culprits shown to have taken part in the recent assaults made upon travelers. The imperial edict also assures Grangers that their person and property will be protected and ita wording especial- I ly favors the missionaries. The whole ton-; Of the edict is highly satisfactory. The Chinese overtures for peace having been rejected without a hearing, the war now enters upon a chronic stage, demanding an appeal to the latent forces of the empire.

The latter are described as being quite pre.vt; but It la added that they require time in order to organize them. The Chinese government Is prepared, though reluctant to do so, to engage in a protracted conflict. The party in power recognizes the urgency of radical military and fiscal reforms. The question Is, how long will the natural cohesion bear the strain of a great war. The danger is, the correspondent adds, that a revolution may be followed by prolonged anarchy.

A dispatch from Shanghai says that Chang Tshl Toung, Viceroy of Hu Kwang, haa been summoned to Peking in connection with the upming in his province. The viceroy travels incognito, and upon his arrival at Peking will be given an inter-View by the Emperor. The rebels In the province of Hu Kwang recently attacked come covernment buildings and captured them, after defeating the troops employed in their defense. Some of the Chinese troops subsequently Joined the rebels. The rebels killed two mandarins and a number of Chinese troops.

They are now believed to be marching upon Woo Chang, which city has been denuded of troops, all the garrison having been sent to the coast. Donnd for the Orient. VANCOUVER, B- Oct. 15. -The steam-ehlp Empress, of India sailed thl3 afternoon for the Orient with seventy-two saloon and 410 Chinese passengers, three hundred of the latter being from the States.

Among the passengers were Thomas Bailey Aid-rich, of Boston, the well-known poet: Hon. II. Lw Pierce, ex-Mayor of Boston; Sir C. Vf. Freemantle, brother of Admiral Free- jnantle, commander of rthe British squadron in Chinese waters; Captain Cavendish and Captain DuBouIay.

Tiie two latter are British army officers and have been deputed by the British Foreign Office to follow the Chinese tnd Japanese armies, respectively, as military attaches and observe their tactics. Captain Cavendlfh was eeen by a reporter. He stated that he proceeds to Che Foo, thence to Peking, where fie receives orders from the English minister. DuBouIay goes to Tokio for instructions. British Cabinet Blander.

LONDON, Oct. 15. The Times this morning says, editorially: "By degrees we have learned the significance of the Cabinet meeting hastily summoned recently. It floes not appear that the government found single power willing to co-operate in an attemot to mediate to stop the war between China and Japan. The government Incurred a needlessly humiliating defeat which cannot but impair Great Britain's capacity to intervene with effect should a fitting occasion arise.

They blundered Incredibly, Ignored the most obvious elementary considerations applicable to the case, and courted a rebuff which ought to have been recognized at once as inevitable. Possibly the rumors of overtures for peac? are based on some sounding of the Chinese government by the British government." Korelsrnera Xot in Peril. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. A cablegram was received at the Staje Department today from United States Minister Denby at Peking which 13 calculated to reassure persons who have friend3 in China and who have been fearful as to their safety.

The minister says that the reports of danger to the foreign residents of Peking are exaggerated. There has been only one instance of an attack on Americans and adequate punishment was meted out at once to the perpetrators. A proclamation has been issued by the authorities enjoining protection for foreigners. AX AMEER DYIXG. Jlnler of Affthnnlainn Reported to De ill with Bright' Dlnense.

SIMLA, India, Oct. 15. News has been received here which confirms the alarming reports In circulation regarding the health of Abdurrahman Khan, Ameer of Afghanistan, It is now admitted that the Ameer Is very seriously ill and It is said he is Buffering from Internal hemorrhages. In view of this fact. Sir George White, commander of the British forces, has postponed his tour of inspection.

In addition, the Governor-general Earl of Elgin has summoned a special council to meet immediately. The news of the Ameer's -impending death Is a great surprise. He is known to have Brixht's disease of the kidneys, but It was not thought that he was seriously affected. For the present, Mr. Pyne, the En.Kllsh engineer who has started a factory for the manufacture of guns, rifles the cartrlJge3 at Cabul.

In addition to turning hLs attention to the manufacture of articles of commerce, and the other Europeans, including Mi3s Hamilton and the lady doctors, should be assured protection by the Ameer's eldest son, Sardar llabibulla Khan, who. presumably, will assume the direction of affairs. The policy of the Indian government will have to be declared promptly, and it is believed that llabibulla, if assured of British support, will be able to hold hi3 own. The friendly relations between Great Britain and Afghanistan have not been broken since the successful mission last year of Sir Mortimer Durand to the city of Cabul. General Kendnlinr Expects Trouble.

LONDON. Oct. 13. Gen. Lord Roberts Kendahar, V.

formerly commander-in-chief of the British army In India, was Interviewed to-day in regard to the illness of the Ameer of Afghanistan. Lord Roberts paid: "Similar reports of illness, and from which the Ameer has recovered, have reached India in years gone by. But the Ameer Is now older, and the constantly recurring attacks of the gout must have seriously undermined his general health. The news, doubtless, was brought from Cabul by horsemen and was telegraphed from the latter place to Simla. Should the question of succession arise there will certainly be erlous trouble at Cabul between the opposing parties, one favoring the succession of the elder son.

Sadar Habibulla Khan, the child of a wife of low rank, who has al- 1 Awaroed Highest Honors- World' Fair. MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder. Fret from Ammonia, A'um or any ether adulterant WO YEARS THE STAND ART. ready held a sort of power at Cabul.

The second party supports the younger royal wif in the interest of her son. who is a child. Upon a former occasion, when the Ameer's death was expected, this queen-mother' made preparations to seize the treasury and gain the adhesion of the army. If the Ameer dies trie Europeans at Cabul will be In danger from the fanatical hatred of the Afghans, which is only suppressed through the personal influence of the Ameer. Unfortunately, there are three Knglish women at Cabul.

and their only means of escape Is a journey of 1W miles to Peshawur, during which they will be at the mercy of the Afghans until they reach Lun Jikhotal. where they will be under the protection of the Khyber Rifles. The situation will cause the greatest anxiety to the government of India. The summoning of a special council Is a very unusual proceeding, and It is evident that the Earl of Elgin considers the situation to be grave." IX HONOR OF STRAUSS. Reception and Presentations nt Vienna Yesterday.

VIENNA, Oct. 13. The festival In honor of composer Strauss was continued to-day. The reception and presentations took place in Hen Strauss's house In Sgelasse in the Wleden.

Then foil wed the presentation of a little silver table of choice design, ornamented with gild. After this a gold medal from the members of the celebration committee was presented to Herr Strauss. Baron Bezecny ntde a speech In which he said: "Though Strauss may belong to the whole world, he belongs to us before all. We Viennese will not allow our Strauss to be taken from us.

May he live Ion? and yet make mankind crazed with his melodies." At a quarter of 11 o'clock Burgomaster Grubl arrived from the Rathhouse. The crowd was then so dense that he found it difficult to reach a position beside the "Waltz King-." After he had reached Herr Strauss the burgomaster said: "I am instructed by the town council to greet you in the name of your vaterstadt, to whose Illustrious sons you belong. All Vienna joins in these celebrations. All Viennese, without exception, are delighted that you are able thus to participate. May you be spared long to the Joy and pride of your Two other addresses were made.

Then Herr Strauss, his voice displaying Intense emotion, said: "I am not a speaker. For all these splendid presentations I am thankful to my predecessors, my father and Lanner. They showed me in what way progress was possible through the de- velopment or the form that is my single Insignia of merit." (Cries of Herr Straus3 paused for a moment and then continued, saying: "My efforts have been feeble attempts to improve the gifts which I inherited. I have been extra fortunate, but I feel that I have been too greatly honored. (Cries of 'No, Indeed, you Kive me over honor." Herr Strauss hesitated at this opint, placed his hand upon his forehead and muttered: "Es 1st schon genug," and then sat down.

His friends enthusiastically clamored for the privilege of shaking hands with him. Among the congratulatory messages that were received from all quarters of the world and from all sorts of people was ono from the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. him el? a musician, who said: "I also send hearty congratulations and sincere admiration for your musical merits."

Ormlnton Chant Lending; a Reform Slovcment in London. LONDON, Oct. 13. Mrs. Ormi3ton Chant, of the Vigilance Association, In a speech at Leamington to-day said in referring to the crusade against the Empire Music Hall that her -action before the licensing committee of the London county council liad stirred not only the heart of London, but the whole of England.

It was a tremendous thing to attack the richest music hall in London, but the Vigilance Association held that the Impurity of rich men's halls was more deadly than that of poor men's. The reason that the Empire had been selected far attack was that under cover of a most magnificent building and a most splendid stage show, the promenades were nightly used for traffic between men anct women. The case of the association had been more than proved, Mr. Edwards, the proprietor of the hall, having given notice of discharge of his employes, telling them that hl3 Inability to sell drinks in the auditorium owing to the county court's refusal to grant him a license and the closing of the promenades meant ruin. Belglun Socialists Rejoice.

BRUSSELS. Oct. 13. The Socialists held a demonstration here to-day to celebrate their successes in the elections. Thousands of members of the Socialist party paraded the principal streets of the city singing the Marseillaise.

There was no disorder. At Mons, the capital of the province of Hai-nault, the Socialists also held a demonstration that ended in a riot. The mob attacked the building occupied by the Cathollo Club and stoned It, breaking most all the windows. The result of the elections is the complete overthrow of the Liberal party, save in the capital. The first application of the principle of universal suffrage has, therefore, juitifled the forebodings of the doctrinarles, who foresaw in it the.

downfall of their cause. What they failed to foresee was the immense success of the Socialists, with whom the Catholics have now to reckon alone. The old Chamber of Deputies was composed of ninety-three Catholics, who In this election have lost ten seats and gained two. and twenty-nine Liberals, who have lost twenty-four seats and gained seven. The Socialists were not represented In the last Chamber.

They have secured nineteen seats. The old Senate consisted of forty-seven Catholic members and thirty Liberals. The former have gained ten seats and the latter three. Chief AVlttbool Yields to Germans. BERLIN, Oct.

Sir Walter went out at once to make the pace after the fall of the flag and carried the others up to the hill at a merry clip.

Herring to-day. "We have the best detectives to be had, and enough of them to watch every point. It makes little difference where they go they will have a reception; they will bo hunted down." Mr. Herring, when asked about the failure of the express company to offer rewards for the arrest of the robbern, replied that he did not think a reward would secure their arrest. "You cannot catch thieves by rewards," he said.

"We have already begun a pursuit which will land them and it will be expensive enough without paying a reward when they are caught. It cost3 money to catch thieves, and in this case the difficulty is greater than in many other sections. There are many ways for them to escape, and besides there are so many places for them to hide.

There is no stronger team in the West than the Madison kickers, and their play to-day, as far as it went, showed them to be a determined set of men. The line-up is as follows: Purdue. Position. Madison.

Marshall Left end Sheldon Smith Left tackle Bozenthal Fulkerson, guard Dungb Robertson Center Comstoc Kercheval Right guard Jacobs Al ward Right tackle. Sil McHenry Right end Major Heile Quarter back. Lyman, capt.

The Wisconsin team had the kick-off and Purdue the west goal.

The ball was kicked to McHenry, who was downed at the thlrty-ttve-yard line. After two downs Wisconsin got the ball on a fumble and was "downed on the thirty-yard line. Nelson ran around Purdue's left end for a touchdown in five minutes, and goal was kicked.

Ruschman was downed by a foul tackle at this point The umpire disqualified Lyman, captain cf th? Wisconsin team, for slugging. The team refused to play further and the game was awarded to Purdue on a score of 6 to 0.

Much feeling was manifested by the Wisconsin team at the decision of the umpire. They claim that their captain was ruled off for an accidental rough play; that the decisions were always against them when they made long downs, but never were on short ones. The captain of the Wisconsin team urged his men to continue, but they were unanimous in their decision that he had been unjustly ruled off, and that they would not continue the game. It Is claimed by the lurdue team and their friends that Captain Lyman was guilty of slugging, and that he had been three times forewarned by the umpire before he was disqualified. Wisconsin team claims that in refusing to play they did not forfeit the game, as the referee did not call time and that they are ready to meot the Purlue team on any ground and with any umpire and referee that will be impartial to either team.

E. L. Drake who first "struck oil" in Pennsylvania, but comparatively few are aware that the man on whoe initiative he undertook the exploration which resulted in a discovery of worldwide benefit was James M. Townsend, then and still living in New Haven. "The agtnt is but the Instrument of the principal, and Mr.

Townsend would seem to be entitled to fully as great public credit as Colonel Drake, a recognition which so high an authority as the Prof. J. s. Newberry has given him. The presence of petroleum in Pennsylvania had ong been known, the oil having been encountered in small quantities in boring brine wells, and also appearing in natural springs: but it was valued chiefly as medicine.

In 1851 It wait tested with a view to its use for illuminating purposes, but the supply was exceedingly scanty. Practically the first step toward developing the industry was taken In 1851, when Messrs. Eve-leth and Blssell- organized in New Haven the Pennsylvania Itock OH Company, controlling the right to one of the natural springs on Oil creek, a sample of the oil from which snring was sent to Professor SUliman, of Yale, for analysis. Professor Sllllman's report, published In the fall of 1835, was highly favorable, but no action was taken for a long time. Messrs.

Rve-leth and Blrsell retired, and Mr. Townsend, who was one of the largest stockholders, finally effected a new organization, the new corporation the Seneca Oil Company taking over the property and powers of the former concern. In 1857, on the suggestion of Mr. Townsend, R. L.

Drake was commissioned to make a journey to the wilds of Oil creek in behalf of the company, under special instructions to bore for oil. Drake went, and, after many months of toll and disappointment, on Aug. 29. 1S39, "struck oil." bringing into existence what has grown to be one of the most gigantic Industries in the world. Mr.

Townsend, who profited little financially by bis enterprise in the exploitation of the petroleum industry, is an officer or director of various corporations, a park com-mirsioner of New Haven, a captain in the Connecticut National Guard and an earnest Republican. He lives on the old Shell road, now Townsend avenue, across the harbor from New Haven proper, on an estate which has been In the family for more thin two hundred years. Judge W. K. Townsend.
