SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-The Pacific Mail
steamer Colorado arrived last night from Hong
Kong, March 18th, and Yokohama, March
25th, and brings the following intelligence:
Yokohama March 25th.-It is now known that
government changes of considerable Importance
are impending and modification of the pres

officials, owing to the efforts of foreign minis

anese internal affairs.
The Mikado has been i'll but is recovering.
The rule requiring the payment of two cents
hostage on newspapers from America has been
abolished for the Japanese post office.
Considerable excitement prevails among the
japanese sOldies in consequence of news that
the Chinese had already provoked conflict
with the savages of Formosa, and the opinion
is expressed that China should be required to
give a guarantee for at least reasonable
treatment of the aborgnes. The circumstance
of China having exacted submissive acknowl-
edgment's from the Loo Choo Islanders which
is vet unexplained, adds to the feeling of indig-
nation against that empire. The Loo Chooans
concerned have arrived in YeddO in obedience
to a government summons. Inc case Is now
undergoing investigation.
The expectation OF rice Is now permlIIeu ny
the government.
legraphicEcommunication is established be-
tween all the important cities of Japan.
Intelligence of the proposal of the United
nifty is coldly received in Japan. 1t is felt that
the money either does or does not belong to the
United States. An offer to refund portion
would not be cordially welcomed in the present
state of public opinion. A partial acknowl-
edgment would probably be refused.
Taxes on $50 small articles of trade have
been abolished and transferred to tobacco and
native wine, which will now yield about
| $2000000.
Hong Kong, March 10, and Shanghai H.
Particulars have been received of fight in For
mosa between the savages and Chinese troops.
Two Chinese officers vontured in January last
to enter the region of Botan inhabited wholly
bv the aborigines, and were Immediately killed.
On the 18th of February 200 troops were sent
to negotiate. They burned one village and put
the inhabitants to death, including old men,
women and children. On their return they
were surrounded and .routed with loss OF 80
killed. among whom was the Chinese leader.
The loss of savages is estimated at 30. The
affair causes much excitement in China and
there are rumors that large forces are to be de-
spatched TO the scene.
Additional foreign loans are about to be ne
gotiated by China.

Arrest of a Woman Charged with Murder
LEBANON, April 16.-Mrs. Sarah Wilson was
arrested in Tilton to-day by Deputy Sheriff
Emerson on suspicion of being connected with
the sudden and at the time mysterious death OF
Mrs !. H. Kendrick. Mrs. Wilson was en-
ployed at the time as domestic. Although
suspicion pointed strongly towards her at the
time, sufficient evidence strong enough to cause
her arrest had not been adduced until Thurs
day of this week, when Deputy Sheriff Elmer
son, County Solicitor Putnam and Detective
Sargent of Boston proceeded to Tilton and
made the arrest as above stated. Mrs Wilson
is reported to be an eccentric character, and
has been twice married, her first husband dying
very suddenly, and it is reported under sus,
picious circumstances. An examination will
probably be held Immediately. Many circum-
stances connected with the case are withheld
from the public until the evidence is more fully
completed She was brought to this place to.
day. She stoutly denies any knowledge OF the
affair. A large crowd gathered at the depot to
see the woman, who did not manifest any I'M
easiness at being brought back here suspected
of murder She was Immediately taken to
Halls Hotel, where the sheriff and detective
are closeted with her. Public sentiment is
against her, as those who have met her CON-
slider her dangerous person.

New YORK, April 16.-A Pottsville despatch
says the continued suspension of mining IS Sc
riously iniuring all kinds of business in that
region No positive failures have been report
ed as yet, but manv merchants have from NO.
600 to 800 900 on their books of which they are
unable to collect dollar, and one firm In the
place, retailers of dry goods and groceries, nave
already invested $40 900 in the strike. A CRISIS
is at hand. The Wholesale dealers are refusing
to sell goods to this region except for cash, and
without fresh supply the retailers VIII soon
have nothing for their customers but empty
shelves. This explains too, how the miners are
able to hold out so long, and live comfortably
on nothing, where they declare they would
starve on their wages. They have been living
on the merchants.
COntiuued Attempts to Wreck Trains,
A few days ago a car laden with iron was
started down the track to meet passenger
train coming the other way with some fifty
passengers on board, but the telegraph opera
tor saw it, and teegraphed just in season to
catch the passenger car which was switched
off. The Reading road now sends pilot engines
ahead of trains, and several piles OF lumber aud

No one can ever be found who knows the cul.

A Proposition TO Resume the Manufacf-
ure of Iron.
PITTsBURG, April 16-In accordance with
the action of the iron association Wednesday
night, number of the principal firms have re-
sumed active operations, while others are ac-
lively engaged in preparing to start up, SO that
within week or ten days all will doubtless be
at work. The following is the resolution which
was unanimously agreed to. After preamble
setting forth the fact that Notwithstanding there
has been no visible improvement in the price
of manufactured iron and the representations
which were made t, the pudders at the com,
mencement of the difficulty apply with equal
force at tine present time, several firms whose
cooperation had been depended upon had fol
certain reasons started their furnaces at S.: 90
per ton. 1t was resolved that in view of this
action, and the fact that western mills are
largely running and taking trade which belong:
to Pttsburg, we deem it inexpedient to ne
longer continue the suspension of our mills and
that we WILL or as many of us as desire, resume
work at $3.50 per ton.
