Chinese immigration.

The grand total of arrivals of Mongo-
lians at this port since the year 1923 is
1904, of which number los, 902 were
males and 4,l72 females. In the years
1864 and 1867 no Chinese females came
to this coast and only one such arrival is
recorded for the year 1866 The great
est number of Chinese arriving in any one
year since 1923 was 10 1858 in 1928. No
reliable data are at hand TO present CON-
parison between the arrivals and depar-
lures, but the number of Chinese who re-
turn to their country permanently is COM
parativtly small. A very large proportion
of the Chinese who came to this State be-
long TO the lowest caste, and their system
of bondage holds them here with a firm
grasp. Of the large number of Chinese
women now in this State there are lew who
do not subsist on the wages of sin, and the
narrow confines to which this class of be-
ings has BEEN restricted in this city are
reeking with filth and moral pestilence.-

An Indian Chase in the Wind River
Valley.

A recent raid of redskins into Wind
River Valley is thus described by CORE
spondent of the Laramie Sentinel:
Another round with the internal Sioux,
or their allies, the Arapahoes and Chey-
ennes. On the afternoon of the 18th all
of sudden the valley seemed alive with
Sioux. The number would not exceed
thirty or forty, but the festive cusses were
PLAYING in every direction, and could not
be enrolled. SOon the valley was alive !;
horses were trump, and every loose nag
was soon making two-ten-head and tail
up, like a steer in cornfield.
The principal scene of action was around
Camp Brown, and in the open valley be-
low the agency, where the ranch Of I'm
Gle Billy Rodgers is situated. Two OF his
sons and another man were under fire a
distance from the house. A daughter OF
Mr.. Rodgers witnessed the fight from the
house. and seeing that they had exhaust
ed their ammuni ion, gathered up sup
ply and ran to them under heavy fire.
The second dose was too much, and the
Indians made off for lot of horses.
Col. Baker promptly ordered out the
troops, and soon every available man was
in the saddle-twenty men all told. Capt.
Peale was out scouting. Lieut.. Robinson.
whose courage has been often and well
tried, was in command, and Lieut.. Rowal-
ley, quarterm3ster, who showed pluck
enough for man three times his fighting
weight, swung in. and all struck out to
take hand in the circus, and the Lo
family began to scratch gravel
in good earnest. By this
time the Indians were in three parties
and driving horses in different directions.
M, - that x.rar, PAGERS
family, were now making off with eight or
nine of his horses. The command started
IN pursuit, and commenced straight heat
of twenty miles tor the PopO Agia, which
was never beat in this or any other cOun-
try. The course taken was through the
Wind Hills, or sand-driits, many OF them
two hundred feet high, and in every con-
ceivable shape-the western sid a gradual
slope, the eastern side a sharp cutoff, or
steep escarpement, aud through this coun-
try the Indians did not expect pursuit, but
they were badly mistaken. The boys were
after them, and gradually gaining upon
them; now up the sloping hillside, and
plunge of thirty or forty feet down the
drifted sand; then bunker slide TO the
bottom and up the next hill. The Indians
pealed off, and the hurdle race they made
knocked Barnum's hippodrome into =
cooked hat. They reached the PopO Agia,
and leaving every thing behind except the
horses they were riding, plunged into the
rapid, swollen stream. and were over just
as the cavalry reached the bank. Further
pursuit was impossible. The horses were
covered with dust and broken down five
handed in their checks and quit the SER
vice. Uncle Sam may growl about his
horses, but if he orders Company BIS
twenty men to do the work OF two or
three companies they will do it, or break
something, sure.
The command returned to Camp Brown
some time inthe night, bringing back all
the stolen horses.

A Frightful Plunge.

The Lewiston (Me.) Journal of July 8
says: Thursday morning the river-dIiv-
ers were cracking their jokes and stirring
up the logs at the head of West Pitch
jam had gathered at the very verge of
this grand waterfall. George A. New
man of Bradley. below Bangor, stood on
the lower log of the jam. He is a veteran
PenobscOt lOg-roller, and this is his third
season on our river. George got his can't
dog under tine log and Immediately II
rolled. Another riverman leaped off, but
Newman's iron-shOd boots were dull and
he slipped, and in he went. He caught
hold of his companien's cant-dOg, but his
hand slipped, and off Newman darted
down into the Pitch. He swan off the
big curl, and quick as lightning plunged
down the awful abyss. His friends never
expected to see him more. but in a twin
king ne was seen emerging from the foam
at the foot of the falls, and bravely strik-
in. out for the island. The shore of Iht
river ut this point is now lined with logs,
and a rapid current flows there. Newman
saw that it would not be safe for him TO try
TO effect a landing at these points, so he
coolly swan for the island, distant per-
haps fifty to seventy rods from the foot
of the falls. He reached the land safely.
the mainland. His hips. knees, arms and
back were somewhat bruised. He was
taken to the Auburn House and placed in
bed, when his fellows gathered around
him, delighted 10 find him crank and 10

The doctors reported no bones broken.
Several bad bruises were gradually dis
covered by the patient, who sigEalized the
discovery by using strong expletlves. He
continued Il held my breath, 'Lish,

Some one of the crowd outside asked ::
sis he dead?" "NO,' said the river
driver, "only little discouraged"
The Indian legends say that a large
party of Indians was once decoyed into
the rapids above the falls, and persisted in
West Pitch. However that may be, we
doubt if any man ever passes through
what George A. Newman passed on the
morning of July 8, to come out with the
breath fife in him.

Cool Girls.

For fear of missing the road they took
the railroad track. They walked along
leisurely, unnoticed or unnoticing, until
when, just In the middle of the bridge,
they heard train approaching. Turning.
they saw coal train of the Lackawanna
Railroad coming on the bridge at full
speed. There was not time enough to
cross the bridge; there was no place on
which to step aside. Quick as thought
both girls dropped themselves between
the ties, and there hung between train and
water until the long line of empty jimmies
passed over their heads. Their muscles
weakened, but they hung for dear lie. Fin
ally the train passed, and the girls by dint
OF hard scrsmbling regained position on
top of the bridge Utica On. ~ Observer.

The Steamship Scythia's Encounter
t.r with a Whale.

The Cork Examiner has the subjoined
particulars of the encounter OF the steam
ship Scythia with huge whale:
The Cunard Royal Mail Steamer Scy-
thia. which arrived ia Queenstown haTbor
yesterday morning, from Liverpool, met
with an extraordinary accident. IL APP
pears that all went on well during the pas
sage down channel. the weather being
moderate. with smooth sea, and when
between Ballycotton Island and Roche
Point, distant from the land about three
miles, the ship struck something which
caused her to Vibrate all over. Several OF
the passengers felt the shock, and on
looking oveI board they saw huge whale
rise at the stern, and leap over ten feet
out of the water. A volume of blood also
burst from the fish, and it was clearly
seen that the propeller made cash, esti-
mated at twelve ieet- lengthwise, through
the body of the fish, which is sUated,by the
eyewitness, to have been over fifty feet
long. The ship at the time OF the
casualty was steaming thirteen knots
an hour. For yards round where the fish
rose the sea had become beer color from
blood. Immediately on the arrival at
Queenstown, Capt. Haines communicated
with the Queenstown agent, MIR. Mcqueen,
who had divers sent down TO examine the
propeller, and it was ascertained one OF
the four blades of the propeller had been
taken clean off. This collision have been
fatal to the whale, which will, if picked
up, be good prize for the Ballycotton
fishing boats. 1t is supposed that the flsh
was asleep when run into by the steamer.
Had the occurrence taken place during the
night the shock would have been sufficient
to create panic on board, and would have
been attributed to sunken wreckage. The
Ship, otherwise Than the loss of the blade
of her fan, is not injured. Many people
are incredulous respecting THIS strange
occurrence, and the account given OF the
accident would not be believed generally,
were it not that so many OF the saloon AID

rose under the ships stern, Inc dlVer

SEVERAL SENATORS EXPECTED TO VOTE AGAINST
MR.. PINCHBACK's ADMIssION-HIs VIEWS RE-
sPECTING THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBCNE.l
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Mr Pinchback himself
has little hope of being admitted to the Senate, and
almost everyone else is cofdent that Mr. Morton's
resolution to seat him will fail. An informal
vass made to-day leads to tho belief that the fol-
lowing Republican Senators will vote against Mr..
Pinchback's admission: Messrs.' Allison, Edmunds.
Morrill, Vt.), Morrill, (Me. Wadleigh, Ferry Conn,
Hamilton Uexas), Alcorn. Dawes. The friends of
Mr. Pnchback are not sure that he will receive the
votes of such men as Messrs. Frclinghusen,
Conkling. and Sherman, and his opponents say that
in full Senate tho vote against him will be SO or
40. Messrs. McCreery and Thurman will speak to-
morrow, and Andrew Johnson within dav or two.
Mr.. Pinckback, in conversation to-day, said that
his position in regard to the Wheeler compromise
had been misappreheDded He is not opposed to
the compromise as such, but to the onesided fea-
lures of it, He thinks that the guarantee which the
Conservatives give that they will not disturb Mr.
Kellogg. should extend to the other State officers,
Messrs. Antoine Brown. and Deland; and he be-
heges that the Conservatives when they get the
power, will remove Mr. Antoine at least and install
Mr. Penn in his place. This he desires to prevent.
and this has been the object of his telegram and
letter. about which so much has been said.
