The Commission of Inquiry into the Hwatang Massacre Progress ing Slowly at Kucheng. New York, Sept. 2.—The World’* special from Foo Chow, China, says: The commission of inquiry into the Hwasaug massacre, sitting at Kucheng, progresses slowly. Over 100 arrests hare been male. There hare been 12 capital oourio- tions. The viceroy retards the work, re fusing to give tho prefect discretion. There is a day’s delay over each question referred to the viceroy Tne intention is to exhaust the pa tience of the umimissiou. At the present rates the trials will require a year. Tne imperial edict issued command ing severe meusures is a mere blind. Rioters at Hokchiang attacked the Christians, wounded four and destroy ed houses. The dangerous situation is the fault of the magistrate who issued a procla mation slandering the Christians. Unless America can be induced to take vigorous measures it is feared that there will be general rioting. British weakness encourages the Chi nese. The American government is the only hope. Consul Hixson is energetic The Chinese goveaumeut is torpid unless prodded. All the Americans have arrived at Foo Chow. RATES ADVANCED. THE WRECK IN QEORQIA.

It will probably take six weeks to get ths rolling mill and forge in shape, but hardly half so long to do the needed repairs in the machine shops. The first two depart- i ments will manufacture bar iron for the market and the latter will do job j work. Between 200 and 300 skilled SHAKES mechanics will be given employment.

This year the latter manner of spending the holiday predominated. The lists of exenrsiout to points ontsid* the city was long and well arranged. For the first time in mauy years the , Central Labor anion did not parade through the city’s streets. An excor- : sion to Coney Island was deemed the better way to spend the day, and as a | result the sea beach palace there was j crowded with the men whose delegates practically regulate the labor element in the oity from Clarendon hall on Ban- days. To offset this, however, there were arranged the parade of the striking garment workers and the demonstra tion at Union Square of the Knights of Labor, with wnioh organisation the garment workers are affiliated. In the garment workers New York sees prac tically the only body of men on a strike at the present time in the city, and it was perhaps on account of apparent content among the other trades that the central tabor union did not demon strate its strength by parading in the streeta Tlie New York letter oarriere, headed by Postmaster Dayton and bis staff, marched to the postoffice on their way to the Letter Carriers National associa tion convent.ou in Philadelphia.

William Cleveland, grandfather of President Grover Cleveland, was a silver smith in drowsy Norwich town among the hills of eastern Connecticut and deacon for more than a quarter of a cen tury in the village Congregational chnrch. The house in which he spent his long life it still standing. His shop, a weather beaten rookery, was torn down several years ago. The "Deacon,” as he was always ad dressed, was an expert workman, and his goods were always in demand. An a consequence the country families abont Norwich town have Cleveland silver spoons in abundance, coming down by inheritance from old time ancestors. A Norwich town woman's legacy of two of the spoons—exquisitely wrought specimens of painstaking work—was re cently transmitted to Roth Cleveland, and in return a personal letter of thanks was received from her distinguished fa ther.
