KittridBc Canyon with ono Of Dorsey
Bros. buggy teams, Tuesday evening,
the horses became unmanagcable, and
dashing down the steep pitch, crossed n

the whole party 10 the ground. Mr..

the vehicle and escaped with few
bruises. but the dress OF Mrs. Soulo be-
cano cntnnglcd ia n wheel, dragging
her over the rough ground distance of
20 yards, injuring her quite severely,

The reported strike In the Sutro
Tunnel Mt q point about 1860 feet
from the mouth, has occasioned a good
deal of comment in n,iling circles here.
Thoro is generally expressed belief
that there is some truth in the report,
MS mining Experts have been predit ting
strike there for the past two months.
When the hcadero tho tunnel passed
shaft No. 3 without reaching an orc
body, il was believed that nil. immediate
hopes OF reaching orc had been nban-
loned; but the rock in the hender, Il IA
said, began to improve in qunlity over q
week ngo, md il was understood amor q
q favored fow yesterday thnt an ofo
body had boon reached yesterday
morning. No ono Is permitted 70 90 Ia

permit from Mr.. Sutro. AS he is in
Washington. the chances fer admission
OF any outsider TO the interior OF tho
great boro are not promising. Tho Of
ticials OF tho tunnel arc vary reticcnt,
md tho only thing that interested part.
les can do is to await developments.

For a wonder the last steamer from China
TO San Francisco brought out no Chinese
passengers. The serious agitation OF the
Chinese immigration question within year
past has undoubtedly had due affect on the
celestial mind, and possibly may tend to
prevent the further influx of this very unde-
sirable class OF immigrants, or st least to
materially diminish their pnmber.

The democrats are bound not to be behind
their political opponents In gallantry to-
wards the fair sex, and yesterday in the con-
vention at st. Louis respectfully listened to
q handsome little address by Miss Phebe
Cozzens. "She was listened to in silence
and with respect" says q dispatch, "per-
haps because she was young, handsome, and
well dres sed." 1t now remains to be seen
whether the democrats will give the women
plank They have never yet done so, but,
In view OF the fact that the republican con-
ventloDs of 1872 aud 1876 contained woman's
plank, and that the sufrragists express the
intention OF throwing the weight of their
influence with the party which gives them
the fullest recognition, they may deem IT
polite to make some aliusion to the ere
spectful consideration OF woman's claim to
the ballot"

Reports OF sun strokes in various north
ern cities are becoming quite common, while
In Washington we have yet to hear OF q sim
gle authenticated case OF coup de Soliel. The
fact is that Washington is undoubtedly the
coolest city during the heated term in the
United States Our wide streets and avenues
afford ample room for the circulation of air,
and during the hottest weather the atmos-
pierre is always modified by refreshing
breezes. It is owing 10 this fact probably
that We have so few cases of sun-stroke,
even during the prevalence Of the most su.try
weather.

Our dispatches from st. Louis this morn.
Ing Indicate that Tilden is not gaining
ground on the whole; though there are re-
ports OF a compromise or combination be-
tween the Tilden and Hendricks men, by
which Hendricks will take the second place
on the ticket. The general tenor OF the re-
ports from st. Louis Is that Hancock is
gaining strength steadily. The construction
of platform seems to be a troublesome job
for the democratic carpenters, and fight is
likely TO occur when IL comes before the
convention for adoption. An explosion Is
threatened also when Tilden's name is put
In nomination. Altogether the prospect for
efectiny 9 nomination to day Is not hopeful.

The New York tribune, referring TO the
deadlock between the two Houses OF Con-
gress on the appropriation bills, pertinently
asks, "Do the gentlemen In Washington
understand what that meaDs?' 1t means,
says the same paper, that the mail trains
will cease running; that the post offices VIII
be closed: that the consular and diplomatic
corps will be recalled; that drafts on the
government will be protested. and that clerks
and laborers will be discharged In a BODY.
The question now arises whether Congress
will permit the disgraceful spectacle OF q
suspended government after the 3Oth instant.
