FOUK NATIVE SCHOLAKS AVOl'SBEl). The Chanel and School House Were Wrecked But the American Teach ers Escaped Without Injury. Hong: Konsr, Aue. 22. An otheroutrage has bee rt committed upon missionaries hearFooChow. The American missionaries has been attacked by a large and in- furiaed mo b armed with various weapons. The chapel and school house of the mission were wrecked and four of the native scholars were wounded. The foieign teachers, however, escaped injury. A strons: anti-foreign local feeling prevails at Foo Chow, and it is spreading among the populace, who are parading the rjublic thoroughfares with cries of 'drivi out the foreign DEATH OF TECUMTHE. devils." London, Aug. 22. A dispatch to the Times from Hong-Kong, this afternoon, confirms the dis patch from Hon-Kong announc ing the attack upon the Ameri can mission near Fno-Uhow, and a dangerous state of the popu lace of that city. According to the Times dis patch, the American school was situated just outside of the "West gate of Foo-Chow. The dispatch adds: The situation at Ku-Uheng is unchanged. Captain John S Newell of the United States cruiser Detroit, and Dr. Hart have gone therefrom Foo-Chow More anti foreign placards and namnhlets are being distributed at Canton. London, Aug. 23. A Shang hai dispatch to the Times, says that hi. M. S. Rainbow left Foo Chow yesterday for Yokohama, though her presence at Foo- Chow is urgently required. Washington, D. C. Aug. 22 The Chinese Legation here had not been apprised of the latest attack upon American missions by the Chinese fanatics near Foo Chow until show the Associated Press dispatch bringing the news. The minister expressed re gret at the occurance through his interpreter. It is freely admitted at the le - gatioj that in the present state of feeling in China, growing out of is-norance and prejudices of the natives, and especially be cause of the recent war, all for eigners in the interior of China are in more or less danger, The hope is expressed at the legation that the missionaries win recog nize this state of things and will seek the treaty ports until the excitement subsides and normal conditions are restored. The utmost confidence was ex pressed of the intention of the Chinese imperial government to protect the Christian missions as far as possible, and the last edict from the JEmpeior, issued within the past ten days, was quoted as evidence of this intention. Officials of the State Depart ment said that it was probable the riot was one which was re ported to the State Department several days ago as occurmg at Ynn.or-Fn. a nlace not far from 0 X FoosChow. The facts in the case corres pond so closely to the report of the Yung-Fu affair that it is be lieved the same report having reached Hong-Kong, was cabled as a new outrage. MinisterDen by was informed of the Yung-Fu affair, and this win De investi gated by the commission which has gone to Ku-Cheng. The Old Man Holds the Farm. Acolored man owns a little farm of nine acres in the very middle of the Vanderbilt domaid at Bilt- morfi an d he will not sell. Van derbilt has offered $1,000 an acre for it in vain. His last otter was 20,000 for the holding, but Uncle Tom shook his head and would not take it. Imagine what a fortune $20,000 would be to such a poor old colored man! But he declined it. The old dar key's cabin is so close to Mr. Vanderbilt as to make itself con spicuous. It it almost directly under the great wall aboye which the castle has been erected. One fj-nld almost strike it with a stone's throw of the castle. Find ing it impracticable to wipe out the blot, Vanderbilt has done his best to effect the little farm by surrounding it with a ring of tall trees. These are growing rapid lv. and before long nobody will be able to see from the castle the old man's humble cabin and its ffiw surrounding acres. That it is riiirA obstinacv which impelled the old colored man to hold on to his farm is by no means certain. He has had law - vers to advise him. He said with a shy look: "Oh, I'll I'll sell. When Mr. Vanderbilt offers me what my farm is wuff, I'll sell." The Story as Told hy the Son of One of His 111CUUS. A new account of the death of the great Indian chieftain 'le- cumseh, or Tecumthe, was found among the papers of Richard J. Conner, editor of the Peru Sen- tin el, and widely known, and who died on July 25th. It contains information touching the ques tion that has heretofore been widely disputed. Mr. Conner said: "My iatner "I OAA ' -31 was in command oi ouu ineuuiy Indians in the battle of the Thames in Canada. His command was attached to Colonel Paul s regiment in that battle. His In dians did some good service and contributed to the defeat of the British and Indians. "After the battle, late in the afternoon, he was summoned to the headquarters of Col. R. M. Johnson, who stated to him that it was the rumor that the great chief Tecumthe, was among the slain in battle, and requested my father to take some of his friend ly Indians and search the field and ascertain if it were indeed true. My father immediately took with him four or five Dela- vvares and began the search, which was successful. When they found the body some of the Indians were not at all sure that it was that of Tecumthe. There was a striking resemblance between the two brothers, Tecumthe and the prophet, but one of them had a spot or defect on one of his eyes. One of the Delawares stooped down and pushed open the eyelid, and it was at once known that the dead man was indeed Tecumthe. During the political campaign of 1840 it was universally as serted bv the Democrats that Col. Johiison killed Tecumthe. My father often declared that it could not be, that an old Indi an warrior and a camp follower of the expeditions in Canada named Wheatley, was probably Tecumthe's slayer. He was a bitter Indian hater and a crank on that subject. He was not en rolled as a soldier, but went to battle on his own account. He, too, was killed in the ngnt. le cumthe was shot through the breast, and the wound plainly showed that he came to his death from the effects of a shot from a small bore riiie, such as the frontiersman usually carried. A few feet from the dead body of Tecumthe was found that of Wheatly, who had been killed in the thick est of the fight, at a point to which he had pressed himself near where the great chieftain fell. "At the time it was the uni versal belief with the soldiers who participated in the battle and knew Wheatlv. that it was he who did the killing. Col. A VERDICT OF GUILTY.

The iury-this morning returned a verdict of guilty against seven teen of the twenty-three negro rioters, which have been on trial here for several days. Two of these were discharged by Judge Brown, on account of old age and infirmity. Mitigating testimony was then offered as to several of the defendents who had pleaded guilty. Two or three, against whom they were separate iudict ments for carrying concealed weapons, plead guilty and judg ment was suspended on account of sentence in the former case. After court opened this after noon statements were made by the counsel for their respective clients, asking the court to deal gentlv with them. Judge Brown stated that he had given this matter a great deal of earnest thought. He did not want to be severe nor weak in asserting the majesty ot the law. if those people had dispersed when re ouested to do so by lawful au thority he said there would have been no prosecution. They were crivon airmle time to disperse. If they chose to defy the law they could not come in court and say thpv did not mean to do it. It was hot-headed rashness in the -w- . 1 . O 1 extreme.

New Orleans, Aug. 22 A voung man named Louis Gervars aged 24 vears, attempted to kill Miss Eugenia JSIethancourt ana her father about 12 o'clock to day, on Villere street, because of the refusal of the young lady to marry him. He had been court ing the girl for more than two years and claims they were en gaged to be married, but her la ther interfered and prevented the marriage. To-day he called at the home of the girl and demanded that she marry him at once. On her refusal he went away, but soon returned and renewed his de mand. Again the girl refused and, Gervars becoming crazed with disappointment, drew a re volver and fired twice at the voung lad v. Her father rushed in on hearing the shots and Ger vars shot him three times. Mak ing his wav from the house, he met a voung sister of .the girl and knocked her down with the butt of his nistol. He then ran to the old basin with the inten- tiou of committing suicide, but after iumninid in he changed his mind and swam out and was cap tured bv the police. Miss Neth- ancourt's wounds are slight, but her father is seriously hurt.

London, Aug. 23. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Pall Mall Gazette says the Chinese Gov ernment has made a most extra ordinary appointment in connec tion with the outrages upon the English missionaries. The for merly degraded Liu Ping Chang who is generally regarded as the actual originator of the Chengtu riots, has been definitely ap pointed imperial high commis sioner to investigate the circum stances which led to the out break and the facts connected with the outrages themselves. The appointment has caused the utmost dissatisfaction and indig nation among the former residents. A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai confirms the report that Liu Ping Chang, formerly Viceroy of Szu Chuan, has been mis- to investigate the out rages upon foreign nations.

The extra Hostilities between "culture" and the pursuit of wealth have moderated until we can see glim merings of the time when a so cialistic jeremaid against busi ness competition or a demagogic campaign against mercantile methods will be as dishonered as a defense of common theft. Professor Hadley sa,ys in the Yale Review that in the effort to make money the economist per ceives the most powerful incen tive to work in the service of the community that the world has yetknown. He continues: To this extent he may be said to glorify the pursuit of wealth, in showing that it is a means of mutual service, instead of mu tual robbery, an honorable am bition instead of a base one. But in thus elevating it to its proper place in the social order, he al so reduces it to its proper place. By understanding the uses of the commercial system, he is able the more effectively to criticise its abuses. The day is past, if ever there was one, when indis criminate condemnation of busi ness methods and business am bition can be effective. lhe moralist who tries to show that money-getting is a mean thing overshoots the mark. His own acts, in his daily life, are unus- ully enough to convict him of in consistency. The economist, on the other hand, in pointing out the reasons why modern business methods are approved by society puts himself in a position to con demn those methods when they re carried to a point where they cease to be of social service and violate instead of futhering the purposes which have justified their existense.

Literature is at last learning to riav due respect to the philan thropy of the modern commercial system. munities, the two first objects are honesty and efficiency. Every additional advance raises the standard and all men who aim at success must guide themselves by the standard. There is less and less endurance of drunken ness. irregularity and unreliab ility. The mind must be kept clear aad the body capable of continuous work. Moral sentiments have been talked with abundant fluency for thousands of years among Hin doos, Egyptians and Japanese But commercial civilization has actually made morality. It has compelled what we call respecta bility on the street and in the home. The elevation of the wife and the value placed on children as future citizens are largely the results of the same cause. The restraints on tryanay have been obtained and "kept by the com mercial strength of the pursuit of wealth.
