Burning ofu Go ellie ship 672 Lives
uOlf.

from tine Bsston Il weller. june Is.
The Italian ship Napoleon Canevero sailed
from Macao on the 9Th of March, with crew
Of forty and six hundred and sixty three COO
lie emigrsnts, bound &c Callao. Part Of the
cargo consisted Of eight thousand boxes of
Chinese FIRE crackers. A few hours after
leaving port tho Office. 0i the ship Discovers
ed that there was plot among the coolies o
poison them. and that two hundred had a.
greed to revolt and if possible capture the
shin. Some of the riugeaders We're logged,
while others were placed IN irons. At o :.
clock the next day the interpreter reported
to the chief mate, Mr. A. F. Faw, that the
coolies intended to revolt at > o'clock. To
the Captain OF the vessel they denied any such
intention and the provisions were served to
them. At a quarter past ) o'clock the COO
lies revolted ana broke up the sleeping ben>
ches, into which they had driven spikes, for
weapons They also had several -kniyes,
shades and two cutlasses taken from the men
on guard.
The crew fred upon them, and, after
about thirty had been shot, the Captain called
upon them to surrender. They retcsed and
set fire to some stuff ia the hold Of the vessel,
probably thinking that the crew would rush
down tho hatchway to extinsuish II, giving the
coolies below a chance to go upon deck and
Join their comrades. The FIRE rapidly increas
ed, and the coolies again refused to surren>
der. Two boats were lowered and swamped;
but third was lowered in safety and several
Of the crew got Into it and put of from the
ships side. The Captain, mate and suPercargo
were saved BY swimming to one of the swamp
/ ed boats from which they were tasen by the
crew IN the third boat lowered bu. the doc
tor, storekepoer. interpreter and several
others Of the crew persisted At 10 O'Clock
that night the vessel blew up, the fire having
reached that part of the mold in which eight
thousand boxes Of Chinese fire crackers were
slowed, and all those on board persisted.

INHIGRATIoS.-From Jan. TO Nav 81,
1866, there arrived in New York q 1852
German and 2a,765 Irish immigrants. The
whole number of immigrants during the five
months was 63,sl3. It is anticipated that,
during the whole year, the i'm migration will
reach 100000 persons. Last year the ar
rivals numbered only l96,s4s, and in 1854
they were 226,9l6. The K.cw-Nothing
excitement Of 1915 checked the mmigra-
ton, which has never since eqnaIled what it
had been for the few years previous. The
figures were: 1871, $50 sol: 1872, 100000 ::
1853, 2St,9tj; 1851, 3l9.223. The nex.
year the numbers fell Of 10 l35,OO), and in
1861 had run down TO 1000

OTTAWA. June 18Th, 1906
The committee appointed by the grand
Jury 70 visit the La Sale County Jail beg
leave II report, that they have this dav gers
formed the duty assigned them that, in 50
doing, they found fourteen prisoners, (ali
males.) incarcerated for various crimes
awaiting trial in the Circuit Court now in
session. Iuey made little or 10 complaint
As to matter d food, but they complain loud
~, and. as we think. j,l.Gy of the uncoufprt-
able an1 unhealthy quarters assigned them
for lodging.
THIS Is no, the fault Of he Tailor, but Of
the county in nJt Provi3ing better quarters
for the prisoners.
We find here bat SIX cells Thesa are now
AL Gee pied. ONE y t%c an! some by three
prisoners. At times. many o. them are
crowded with al least three prisoners each.
These cells are all arched vaults, running
back in faralelograms from the main hall,
without particle Of light or air, except what
enters through the grated doors opening into
the main hall, which itself is badly ventilated.
Tie whole jail is a,ubte-aneau vault. hav
ing but ote small grated window al each end
for light md ventilation.
Your cpmmit;ec earnestly protest against
III . whole concern. as their predecessors have
done Tor the last Ten years, as unsafe; I'M
healthy, inhnman, disgrace 20 tie age in
which we iiy5 as slso. to the good people Of
the great, wealthy, and patriotic county, of La
Sale.
1t strikes your committee tina. the plan of
this pr son must have been conceived in the
spirit of TIE ages long since passed away
it is very dark.
Your committee can see no reason for the
continuance Of this nuisance any longer.
Surely the good people Of La Sale county
have no idea of the horrors OF this place :;
o.her wise the evil would soon be remedied
By voluntary contribution, should the super>
yisors fail to act in the premises
O for Mrs. Dix, or some other popular
humanitarian 10 visit this prison ard wake up
the human sensibilities of our people, espe-
cially of our honorable Board of .SuDerrtSOrS.
Do they ever visit the Jail, as We by law
are obliged to? Let them spend at least
twenty minutes in the hall and cells of this
prison a D., we have done. at each of their SEES
sions, and we venture to predict that the
evils viii h We complain will not be of long
contin uance.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.

The New York Tribune, after full survey
Of the crop prospects for wheat in 1866, Civ
ing correspondence from ell parts Of the
county, sums up as follows:
1t is certain that the winter wheat in the
State Of New York and several other States,
will b. a very short crop. Upon the ''true
wheat lands of that State, of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, michigan, Indiana, Hi
uois, ETC.. til, prospect for winter wheat is
very unfavorablc. The prospect Of a large
crop of spring wheat in Minnesota IS fatter>
ing. and larger amount was sown than
usual. The same is true Of The spring sown
grain in other Western States. Winter
wheat i. badly killed in many places. There
will be about half ar average crop of winter
wheat in OHIO, Kentucky and Illinois. but
not more than ore quarter of q crop in Ohio,
and something better in Indiana. Up the
Valley of the IIlinoi. from Alton tho winter
wheat never was better, though nearly de-
s.royed in the eastern part of the State. The
prospect is fair for good yield in Mary 'and,
Delaware and some parts Of Pennsylvania,
but as a whole, the prospect Of full crop
Of wheat in all the Northwestern States ID
certainly unfavorable.
