SAN FRANCISCO AND AUSTRALIA.


The San Francisco Bulletin OF the 14th says:-
"Reliabe Information, in which we place the full
est confidence, but which we were hardly at liberty
TO disclose before the sailing OF yesterdays Austria

grand proportions are contemplated aiming to con-
troll the future commerce of the Pacific. The great

the westward outreach of the road says, not with

to sway their sceptre the ocean also, and pro-
pose to run their terminal ferries from San Fran
cisco Bay to China and Australia.
sit is rumored that the Moses Taylor was detained
yesterday for several hours to complete certain
papers preliminary to the transfer Of the interests
and privileges of the North Pacific Transportation
Company in the Hawaiian and Australian line The
transfer OF interest is said to include the sale OF the
Moses Taylor to the new company. 1t is also un-
derstood that the Webb line is to be under the drec
tion of four 6rst-class business men, whose names
and financial strength are pledge OF their ability to
make 1t commercial success In this quadriateral
directory W. II. Webb is to represent the shipbuld-
ing and shipowning interest; Sir George Grey,
former Governor OF New Zealand representing the
English interest of our colonial cousins across the
ferry, and ewo prominent railroad men representing
the Overland Railway interest.
'lt is manifest that with such combination OF
and Colonial Governments, With possibly the add
ton OF the once rejected subsidy OF S25 600 year
from the Hawaiian Government, and with all exist
ing competition put quietly out OF the way by an
honorable purchase, 1t will be easy to control the
trade and forestall all rival companies II they pur-
steamers, well oficered and well appointed, their
success is assured. The Pacific Ocean compaIa-
lively free from storms subject TO protracted
calms, and well supplied with convenient coalng
stations is the ocean for steam, and the new COM
pany have it in their power to afford such facilities
Tor travel as shall make an otherwise tedious voyage
a pleasure excursion.
1--WE attach hardly less Importance TO the rumor
that the railroad kings aim also to secure a control
ling interest in the China line either by the imme
diate purchase OF stock by starting opposition
by way Of the Hawaiian Islands, which shall ulti-
mately secure the same resultg-
"lf 1t shall wOrthily represent the broa lest views
OF commercial policy, that need kot necessarily be-
come a monster monopoly which thus reaches out
in every direction seeking to turn the entire trade
and travel off the Pacific into the transcontnental
route. The afiliating Of the railroad and steamer
interests means business. And this city may share
largely in the advantages TO the entire country
suting from making the iron girde Of the continent

PLANTATION LABOR.

The experiment of the Chinese on the Mnlaudon

they were doing work which negro laborers could
not be got to DO, to wit:-Getting wood out of a
swamp, where they had to wade and work ali day

planter sigh for few such on his own plantation.
With such laborers, or fair proportion OF them, we
could see revive our sugar production, and IN these
needed for consumption in the United States. The
need OF this labor is especially impressed upon
planters by the general neglect OF the negroes OF
their industrial emplOyments in order to devote
themselves to patriotic and political duties The
approaching election Il a most Important epoch witt

they are employed. This present election will in

Local finances are in an unsettled condition
at this time, owing chiefly to the doubts as to
the political future of Europe, and resulting in
a renewal of that extreme caution among lend
ers and capitalists which characterized their
action on the official announcement of the sur
render OF Sedan. a strong impression exists
that peace will be proclaimed within o few
weeks, and that this event will be Immediately
followed by withdrawal of capital from our
markets, and consequent stringency in all the
great money centres of the country.

we readily allow, but the cause cannot be said
to have any existence or probability at the pre-
sent time, and therefore the extreme caution
now practised by money lenders we regard as
unnecessary Meanwhile 1t will have the effect
of strengthening the market by affording an
excuse for raising the scale of rates. To-day @

RAILROAD DISASTER.
Accident Near st. LoulsATwO Wen Killed and
several Others Wounded.

The ST. Louis Republican Of october IS says
very serious accident occurred yesterday after
noon, about O'Clock, near East st. Louis on the
Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad, resulting in
the killing of two men and the injury of seven
others-all employed as laborers by the company.
The particulars OF the deplorabe affair are as
tollows:-
A gang of men was sent out from East st. Louis,
yesterday morning, TO do some work in raising the
track about eight miles from town, under charge OF
Mr., James Stout, foreman. The day proving wet,
about O'Clock an engine with two fiat cars was
despatched to bring the workmen IN. On reaching
he place the workmen crowded on board the nat
cars and the foreman took place on the engine
with the engineer Mr.. Worr, and the train started,
the engine pushing the cars ahead.
The train with its jolly feig&t of workmen ran at
q speed OF about ten miles an hour until between
Venice and East ST. Louis, about half way. Here
some COWS were observed on the track and the en-
gineer slackened speed. The train had passed
portion of the drove when one of the men In front
started again, and a minute afterwards the acci-
dent occurred, and before the train had gained
much adGSha cow which had fSa
track, suddenly veered about and jumped right In
front OF the train and close to it that the engineer
had barely time to hear the shout from the men and
reverse the engine before the front car had caught
the animal and forced 1t down under the wheels
The cars slanted up and then sprang from the
track and rolled down the small embankment
while the other car also left the track and
went down the other side. The engine re-
mained on the track AS the accident occurred
some OF the men jumped from the cars, and,
curiously enough, 1t is said that it among this
number that the loss OF life and injury occurred.
The train was running quite slow, but the men in
before they could get out Of the way the cars came
crashing down upon them. In moment there was
shocking tragedy enacted In the rural spot and the
piercing cries Of the crushed and mangled sufferers
flled the air.
The engineer and the foreman Immediately went
10 work to eXtricate the bodies of the dead and
wounded, having summoned all the assistance pos
sibe. The cars were not much broken by the accl-
dent and hence the bodies were taken out from the
without mupl

Some days ago the committee appointed by the

upon the condition OF Susan C. Goodseye better
known as the "Sleepng Beauty" pronounced the
case one of collusion and said Susan q humbug.
The Republican has a communication from N. N.

Hickman, KY, near the residence of the Goodseye
family, stating that the writer has been personally
acquainted with the family upwards OF twenty years,
and knows by personal knowledge that there is no

period indicated has always been in her present
condition.

curiosity to know whether the medical committee
will notice the communication, especially as the
