Ma,ricide, Sororicide and Arson.
Detroit, Dec. 1.-Two years ago Ly-
man Blackman, farmer living near
Birmingham, Mich, decided his farm
to his son Henry, on condition that he
would support his parents and sister.
He failing to do this, his father started
for Pontiac to-day to get out the'neces-
sary papers revoking the deed. In his
absence Henry quarreled with his
mother and sister, which resulted in
his shooting and killing them both,
and setting fire to the house and barn.
He is now in Jail at Pontiac.

The willingness of three of the Re-
publican members of the committee to
unite with their Democratic colleagues
in ordering this report was strength
ened, and perhaps. to some degree in
spired, by the private knowledge of the
fact that considerable number of Re-
publicans in the Senate, including Sar-
gent and several other so-called radical
Republicans, were firmly of opinion
that Eustis was fairly entitled to the
seat, and intended to vote for his ad-
mission, whether a majority of the
committee recommended it or not.
The chairman of the committee says
that the report will not be called up by
him for action for some time, and prob
ably not until after the arrival of

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The Six Companies Heard From.

The Six Companies Heard From.
San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The Chinese
Six Companies have addressed COM
munication to Secretary Evarts, in re-
ply to Sargent's letter. They call at
tention to the fact that since the adop-
ton of the treaty the United States has
received from China nearly eight hun
dred thousand dollars indemnity for
outrages on American citizens and
property in China; that for years the
Chinese have been robbed and mur-
dered in California, and not in one case
in fifty were the perpetrators brought
to justice; that the punishment of the
Chico murderers is attributable to the
influence and money of good citizens of
San Francisco, the result being an ex-
ception to the rule. They recall the
recent anti-Chinese raid in Placer coun-
ty and the July riots in this city to dis
prove Sargent's statement that the
county officials have sought to punish
offenders against the Chinese and snc-
ceeded. They admit the courts to be
honest, but claim that the officers sur
rounding the judiciary are pledged to
persecute them before they can get
office. They state that in twenty-five
years immigration has not exceeded
emigration by four thousand annually,
and they reiterate their desire eN-

Another Burglary.

New York, Dec. 1.-On the morning
Of Monday, the 18th of October, it was
discovered that the office of the Mari
posa Land and Mining Co., in this city,
had been entered before business hours
by a burglar, who is supposed to have
had duplicate keys to the outer office
and to some of the desks and lockers.
Soon afterwards tine counsel who was
preparing for the argument of the mo-
tion made in behalf OF stockholder
Wallace, to continue the injunction
against Eugene Kelly Il Co., applied at
the office of the company for some doc
umentary evidence, when it was dis
covered that certain of these docu-
ments had been distracted by the bur-
glar. Among the stolen documents
were the original rough minutes of the
last annual meeting of the stockholders
of the company, the original ballots
cast at said meeting, and tie original
proxies and powers of attorney upon
which such ballots were cast. 1t is
believed by the detectives that the bur-
glar, with the stolen papers in his pos
session, is now'in California, and the
company offers 81, 900 reward for infor-
nation that will lead to his arrest and
conviction and the recovery of the
papers.

Washington, Dec. There is ap-
parently strong probability that the
duties on tea and coffee will be restored
during the coming session af Congress.
While there has been as yet no organ
lied expression of opinion on the sub
ject, the casual declarations of individual
members generally tend in that direc-
tion. Secretary Sherman's effort to
simplify the revenue system by abating
duties on imports of slight Importance,
will of necessity obtain Democratic
support, and this will assist the pro-
posed adjustment of the free breakfast
table in exchange for many small addi-
tions to the free list. No general revi-
sion of tariffs, however, is anticipated.
If attempted it will fail.

The Senate Majority.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The action of
the Privileges and Elections committee
in reporting that Eustis is entitled to
the vacant Louisiana seat in the Senate
created almost universal surprise to-
day, and following SO closely the admis-
sion of Butler, excited alarm among
such Republicans as have not yet fully
realized that the recent danger Of loss
of party supremacy in the Senate has
been averted by the return of Conover
and Patterson to the party fold and the
admission of Kellogg. The admission
of Eustis will swell the total Demo-
cratic vote to 36, or, including Judge
Davis, to 81, as against Republican
strength, including Sharon, of 80 votes,
together with the casting vote of the
Vice-President to fall back upon in

ONE Of the most favorable business
indications east is the fact that the
recent bank failures in Chicago and
elsewhere cause no general alarm. 1t
indicates that business management is
now on a more cautious and firmer
basis than in the past. Foreign invest
ors are more easily alarmed than our
own, consequently the threatening OF
the public credit by Congress has al.
ready brought home for sale some few
U. s. bonds, just enough to show the
color on Wall street.
