PVoieiOu III CiidiSc VI oOHHhy Lii, HIS
bearer during the war, who was shot
through the body land left for dead on
the battle field at Corinth.
In view of the large supply Of corn in
New York city awaiting transportation
to Europe the steamship companies
have doubled their charges for freight.
They know that the New York Central
road has agreed with the owners of this
grain to transport it to Liverpool, and
they have the road in their power.
HAS Mrs. Marsh fled to Canada? She
is wanted as witness before the grand
jury in Washington, to testify against
Belknap; but the District Marshal, after
a diligent search, made return that she
cannot be found. The family appears 10
have mysterious faculty for disappear
ing when particularly wanted.
THE New York assembly adjourned
without passing the rapid transit bill for
New York city. This is called a victory
of the horse car companies, and its cost
is put down at twenty-five thousand
dollars. 1t reminds old New Workers of
the opposition of the stage and omnibus
lines to the horse railroads, when the lat
ter were first proposed.
DIsRAELI said hat the title of En-
press of India" was intended, like
Chinese mask, to frighten Russia and
prevent further aggressions i'm Asia. The
Car evidently doesn't understand what
it is meant for, as the Russian embassa-
dor at London has received orders to ex-
press the Emperor's congratulations and
approval of the new honor.
ACCORDING to the dispatches from
Washington to the. journals of both par
ties, even including the New York World.
the opinion is general that the Senate
will decide that it has no jurisdiction in
the Belknap impeachment case. Belknap
not being an officer when impeached; and
thus the House will completely break
down once more, and be again convicted
of ignorance of the constitution and
laws.
The President and Secretary of War
deny that Gen. Custer was relieved from
his command because he was wi tness
in the Belknap impeachment trial. 1t
was the wish of the President that Gen.
Custer, having been subpenaed as wit
ness, should remain and give his evidence.
and that in the meantime the Indian ex-
petition should be placed under COM
mand of another officer. Neither the
Secretary of War nor General Sherman
protested against relieving Custer.
WINsLOw, the alleged forger, was not
discharged by the British authorities
Wednesday of last week, though, accord
ing to the British laws, the time he could
be held expired that day. Upon what
law or pretence of law he is still held
is puzzle, since the British government
refuses to extradite him under the treaty.
pleading that its own law is superior to
the treaty but its own law says that, if
not extradited at the endo 60 days from
the date of his arrest, he must be set
free.
The South San Francisco Anti Coolie |
club and Young Mems Universal Reform |
society, of San Francisco, California, held
a meeting May I'd, indorsing the destruc-
ton of the Chinese quarter at Antioch,
in that state, and advocating similar
course i'm that city unless the Federal
government should take immediate steps
to abate the evil. Highly incendiary let
tiers were read from societies in the interi- |
or of the state, seeking cooperation. The |
sergeant-at-arms had received q telegram |
from New York saying that 1900 stand |
of arms could be delivered in that city at |
10 days. notice. While such talk and ac-
ton are universally reprobated by the
great mass of thinking people in that
CITY, there can be no doubt that they |
meet the approval of large and dam
gerous class in the community, and that
i'm the event of no action being taken in
the matter by the General government, |
there is grave reason to fear serious dis
tllrbance at no distant day.
THE stage routes to the Black Hills at |
different points are infested with pesky |
redskins who amuse themselves in firing |
upon the passengers. Governor Thayer,
of Wyoming has called upon Gen. Cook
for military protection. He wants forces
stationed both at Red Canon and Hot
Creek. The former is very deep. and all |
travel has to pass through it. The In
dams crawl up its sides and shoot down
or throw rocks upon travellers. The Gen.
has promised all the protection possible,
and an order issued to that effect.
The Centennial commission has de-
cided to close the exposition on Sunday |
in spite of the requests of good many |
Americans and the protests of many for
eigners. This action would be generally
sustained by the religious element of the
country and agrees with the prevailing
