Xkw York. Aug. i ti. —It. (1, Dun Jk
Co.'s weekly r« view of trade says:
The extraordinary spell of deadly
heat affected trade throughout the
country, and in the Hast speculative
feeling was somewhat affected until
Thursday by apprehension of the poa-
ible in Hue nee of the Hr.van meeting.
With cooler weather there caiue also
jn Thursday u perception that the
meeting would not affect business
unfavorably. Hut other conditions
were not stimulating. According
to government reports the crops
have sustained serious injury, (la-
bor dilliculties extend, and the
closing of establishments for want of
work and the refusal of commercial
loans by banks checked many opera-
tions in branches of industry and
iradc. The week, therefore, closes,
is last week did, with domestic busi-
ness unusually dull for the season.
Measured by clearing house changes,
it was per cent smaller than last
vear, and l'r.o per cent smaller than
in the same week of lhb«\ the last
year of full business at this season.
AFTER LI HONG CHANG
A Ssrrat Soelety at Ban Fraoclseo Haa
Branded Him a Traitor.
San Franc iscof **ug. 10.—Li llung
Chang, China's aged viceroy, is threat-
ened with deposition if not death. For
several days the dead walls of China-
town have been illumiued with bright
posters, proclaiming the purposes
of a new society, known as
"Hing Chung Woey," and calling upon
all patriotic Chinamen to acquaint
themselves with the principles of
the new order and lend it their moral,
physical and tinancial support. The
circular complains in the bitterest
terms of the influence brought to bear
upon the emperor by corrupt officials,
aud special reference is made to the
viceroy. He is charged with traitor-
ous conduct in connection with the
late war with .fapun, and incidents
are cited at length to show that Li
Hung < hang's relatives traded their
honor for >>apan gold during the war.
Members of the local t hinese colony
entertain a bitter hatred for Li Hung
Chang. Tb0 present political move-
ment has increased this hatred, end
those who pretend to know the state
of affairs in Chinatown declare the
viceroy would certainly be killed if he
came here. It is beiieved that Li
11' nc Chang has been fully advised of
this fact, and purposes to avoid Sen
Francisco for this reason.

Fonod by tha Kngllsh Selentlat on aa
lea rioe—Hla l.oeky Sleeting With
the Norwegian Explorer was Ac-
cidental—Tha Frais Aban-
doned In the Drifting
Ice—Nan sen'a Story.
Vardok, Norway, Aug. in.—The
captain of the Windward, the Rritiah
steamer which hae just returned from
Franz Josef land after taking supplies
to the British North pole expedition
commanded by Jackson and known as
the Jackaon-Harmsworth expedition,
filed a telegraphic message here yes-
terday describing the accidental
meeting of Jackson and Dr. Nanaen,
forming one of the most remarkable
incidents in the history of Arctic ex-
ploration, for It appears that the Nor-
wegian ex plorer had been living in a
hut quite close to one of the English
explorer's stations for a long time pre-
vious to the meeting of the two men,
yet neither one of them was aware of
the other's presence in that vicinity.
In thia messrge, Jackson describes his
accidental meeting with Dr. Nansen
while the latter was traversing the
ice pack, and it appears that it waa a
lucky meeting for the -Norwegian ex-
plorer, aa the latter was misled, ow-
ing to inaccuracies on the map drawn
by l'ayor, the discoverer of Franz
Josef land, and also oecause Dr. Nan-
sen's two chronometers and his watch
having stopped, he was quite unable
to establish his position and was con-
sequently trying to march westward
to 8pitzbergeu over the ice pack,
which was not only highly dangerous
but probably impossible
Jackson, after meeting Nansen, coo-
ducted the latter to Klmwood, the
headquarters of the British expedition,
where the Ikietor awaited the arrival
of the Windward, which left the
Thames on June 10, and Vardoe on
June 29, to take supnlies to the Jack-
son expedition, and not to bring them
hack, as currently reported.
Jackson, in the dispatch tiled by the
captain of the Windward, said: "On
June 17, I met Dr. Nansen three miles
out on a floe, east of ( ape Flora, and
nuder most extraordinary circum-
stances. He had wintered in a rougn
hut within a few miles of our north-
ern limit in l^ii't. and this apring we
unwittingly came within a few miles
ol his winter (quarters.
"Dr. Nansen left tturPrm with one
companion, Lieuteuani Sigard Scott
Hansen, a lieutenant in the Norwegian
navy,and director in the astronomical,
meteorological and magnetic observa-
tions, and reached Intilii ie sn 14,
traveling northeast from where he
left the Frarn, which wus in *1 North.
102 East.
It is believed here that the I rem
may turn up here or et Heigen
shortly, as she stood the icn very well,
has plenty of rroviaions on board and
there was no sickuess among her crew
when Dr. Nausea left her on March
14. 1W.\,
I'rofessor Mohn says th it t the acien-
title result of Dr. Kattseti'a observa-
tions are magnificent, and that sev-
eral islands hsve been discovered.
Dr. Naosen, in deacribing their life
during the winter of said:
"When the bears' Heah had been ex-
hausted we werd obliged to kill the
weakest d"g* to feed thai others, and
continued thus until the whole pack
had lieen slaughtered.
