1000 Families to be Clothed and Fed
till next Harvest.


till next Harvest.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25.-The Relief Com
mittee for Northern sufferers by the late
fires, desires to say TO the generous public
that the supply of men and boys clothing
now at this point and on the way for the
sufferers in the burnt districts of Wisconsin
and the adjacent portions of Michigan is
ample for present wants. Heavy and
warm clothing for women and children is
still needed, especially under garments. An
essential thing required is money with
which to purchase provisions, materials,
tools and implements for building houses
barns, shops and mills, for buying horses,
oxen, hay and feed. From fifteen hund-
red to two thousand families are to be
housed, fed and clothed until next harvest,
from supplies which must come chiefly
through this Committee. Money may be
sent to Alexander Mitchell, Treasurer.

LOS ANGELES.
Disgraceful Crusade on the Chinese
Sixteen Hanged and Three Shot Dead

SAN Francisco, Oct. PA terrible riot
at Los Angeles is going on. A fight having
occurred in the Chinese quarter, officer Bill
derain attempted to arrest Chinaman
for shooting another, and called on a citizen
to assist. The Chinese, ON both sides of
the narrow street, opened fire. Thompson
fell, shot through the breast, and died. Bill
deraiu was shot through the shoulder, but
succeeded in getting on horseback and es-
capped. A Mexican boy, Juan Jose Mon
ders, was shot through the leg. A mob
attacked the whole Chinese quarter, and
were resisted by the Chinese. Five hun
dred armed men prevented any from escap-
ing. Fifteen Cinnamon were hanged by the
mob. Fire was applied to the houses, but
was eXtinguished.
9P. M.-Order has been partially restored
by the authorities. There will probably be
no more blood-shed. Several Cinnamon
have been arrested, and are in jail.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 25.-The
Chinese of Los Angeles numbered about
fifty. The mob was determined to clean
them out of the city. Before the hanging,
the mob fired on them from the roofs and
other points, killing one woman and several
men. Quiet has been restored.
Later.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 2j.-The
riot at Los Angeles was more disgraceful
than at first reported. The mob was COM
posed mainly of native Californians, and
the dregs of society. All the Chinese hang
ed were frightfully beaten and maltreated
before hanged. One was child, only eight
or nine years old. In addition to the six
teen hanged, two men and one woman were
found shot dead. Another is in jail in
critical condition. Only one Of those hang
ed was identified as engaged in shooting the
officers. The others are supposed to be in
nocent, the guilty ones having escaped be-
fore the mob assaulted their houses. The
old Vigilance Committee is reorganized, to
prevent repetition of the rioting.

Finance and Trade.

HlhsthCc anu
The banks are running smoothly. They
have few calls for loans, and deposits are
abundant. Many of the Eastern and Euro
pean insurance companies are paying their
losses promptly, and these funds furnish
our merchants with money to purchase
goods, and to capitalists who are preparing
to rebuild. The grain, lumber and live
stock markets are brisk and as much doing
as before the fire, and in lnmber much
more.
1t may seem strange, but mechanics are
wanted Carpenters, masOns and almost
every other class are in demand at good
wages.
Potter Palmer is pushing up his new grand
hotel as fast as possible. When the fire
took place the walls were up to the top of
the first story of the superstructure. They
were not damaged of any consequence. He
will have full force on during the winter,
and expects to have it up to the top of the
fourth story by June. The stores in the
first story he will have ready for occupation
on the first of January. Tney will rent
when ready for $4,000.
Politics.
The combination of the two political par
ties for the next city and county election,
has not yet been fully consummated, owing
to the large number of candidates, and the
diversity of views of those engaged in the
work of combining. But the work will
probably be finally consummateG. At least
that is the prevailing opinion. There is no
diversity of feeling in regard to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Medill for Mayor, and Mr.. Gage
for City Treasurer, and Mr.. Jameson for
Judge of the Superior Court. They are all
popular. The nomination of Mr. Haur for
County Treasurer proving very generally
unpopular, Mr.. Philips has been substituted
for Mr.. Haur.

ing is fourteen million dollars, losses by
the recent fire is over four million dollars;
the stock notes amount to three million

many of the stock holders are insolvent and

THE vaults of all the banks in Chicago
Were fourfsl after the great fire to have been
SO substantially constructed as to preserve
all their contents in good order. Not so
the vaults of the custom-house building.
The Chicago Tribune states that they were
the weakest of the city in resisting the
ferceness of the fire. The greenbacks in
the vaults of the custom-house were burned
up, while the gold was melted. In an old
iron safe outside of the vault was $780,
600 in mutilated bills and fraction
al currency, and this was deemed
unworthy place in the vault. The con-
tents of the safe were not injured. What
is true of the customhouse vault is also true
Of the post office vault. The building was
pronounced fire-proof when erected, but it
turned ont very different, and burned when
once on fire like tinder. The Tribune pro-
nounces the whole building "a fraud of the
most barefaced description, and an ever
lasting disgrace to the country"

by Drowning and Exposure.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The schooner r. P.
Messner, of this port, on the 9th inst, dur
ing the prevalence of a fierce gale, struck
rock on Crane Island, Lake Michigan, and
soon filed. The crew were taken off by a
fishing vessel and carried to Mackinaw.
Preparations were then made to get the
vessel of. The pumps were rigged, and
after few days efforts, the vessel was got
off. While the tug Leviathan was towing
her ashore, she filled with water, capsized,
and five out of the nine on board perished
before relief came. 1t is charged that the
tug cut loose from the schooner when it be-
came evident that she must sink, and left,
making no effort to save the crew of the
schooner, who also suffered terribly, until
five died from exposure.

CALhEnRNIA COTTON.

Whether cotton could be grown success
fully in the southern vnleys OF the State of
California has been for a lSng time rather
vexed question among the cultiyators of the
soil on the Pacific Slope Recent expert
ments made by a gentleman in Mercer and
Los Angeles counties seem, however, now
to have settled the matter beyond dispute,
proving that the culture of cotton can be
made highly profitable in the warmer
counties of California. In former years
but few acres have been planted,
but this year one gentleman planted
seventy-five acres. and is now gathering his
crop. The yield of his field this year
amounts to three hundred and seventy
five pounds of ginned cotton per acre, the
cost of producing which is about six cents
per pound. Next year he intends to plant
SOD acres, all cotton, and there is, appar-
emily, no reason Why the pr oduction of this
staple should not be carried on successfully
in certain portions Of California.

checked in any direction. Our flour, coffee,

mixture of cotton seed oil. A paragraph in

FRANCE,


A Defunct AnglO-French Conspiracy.
PARIS, Oct. 25.-The Courier Diplomat
iqte publishes what it says is a semi-officisl
communication in which it is stated that in
1864, Earl Russell, then British Minister of
Foreign Affairs, made overtures through
Lord Cowley, British Ambassador at Paris,
to Rouher, proposing an alliance offensive
and defensive with France to help Denmark
in case Prussia and Austria should declare
war against her. England was to cooper
ate with France and was willing to promise
France in return her assistance in the rec
tiication of her frontiers on the Rhine by
the annexation of a portion of the Rhenish
provinces.
Rouher asked time to consider, but three
days from the time they were presented to
him Napoleon accepted them. .--
Lord Cowley Immediately communicated
the Emperor's acceptance to his govern
ment, whereupon Earl Russell replied that
it was too late, as her Majesty's government
decided not to interfere in the case of Den
mark. No attempt was made to reopen
the subject.
Contributions for the relief of Chicago
now amount to l76, ,430 francs.
