A Steamship and Most of Her Passen-
gers Lost off the Coast Of Chilli.
Panama, August 2.-The Pacific
Steam Navigation company's steamer
Eten, commanded by Captain Coathupe,
was lost on the morning of July Is, at
Los Who's, 20 miles north of Valparaiso.
There must have been considerable loss
of life, as IA bodies had been recovered.
Forty-three of the passengers and crew
had reached shore and 20 were still in
the rocks, unable to reach shore, al
though efforts were being made to res.
cue them. An English man-of-war and
a Gillian gunboat have gone to the as
sistance of the u~nfortunates.
San Francisco, August ia dis
patch from the southern coast states
that the government steamers were I'M
able to render any assistance to the
wrecked passengers owing to the bad
sea. The survivors on the rocks, owing
to exposure and want of food, threw
themselves into the sea to end Their
misery, and only three were saved.
Another account says, out OF a crew
of 81 all toad, and 100 passengers, there
are not more than IS saved.

ALL the Mormons are not Saints,
unless Brigham Young is very serious
ly mistaken in his estimate Of them.
In a recent address he said: II have
many 4 time on this stand dared the
world to produce as mean devils as we
can. We have the greatest and smooth
est liars in the world, the cunningest
and most adroit thieves and any other
shade of character that you can men
ton" Brigham Will probably continue
to dare the world in vain, but there is
a place, which it is currently reported
is set apart for devils, that may be able
to offer some fair competition with
the average Mormon devil, after a little
special training. Nevertheless it would
not be well to give the Mormon any
points in the game, or wager a great
deal on the other devil in an ever trial.

H NORWEGIAN
Seeks Relief IN the Ballot.

Philadelphia, August IA meeting
of the ~workingmen was held Mt Cole
man Hall, to concert measures to form
a new political party, through which
the workingmen of America hope and
expect to make their collective influ-
ence felt. Nearly all the trades were
represented. The meeting was private
and all reporters excluded.
The following preamble and resolu-
tions have been adopted.
WHEREAS, The lamentable state of
affairs existing in this country having
been brought about by undue power
granted by the laws to corporation cap
ital, by partial legislation in its favor,
by the distinctive laws through which
associated laborers are deprived of all
right to regulate their own affairs, and
by the total alienation of the govern
ment and the representatives in legis-
latures and Congress from the people
who have entrusted them with their
interests and protection; and
WHEREAS, Efforts having heretofore
failed which have had for their object
the emancipation of the working
classes owing to the manifold division
in the ranks of labor, and a
WHEREAS, The destruction of the
industries of the country and the
pauperizing of its labor must be the
inevitable consequence of partial legis-
lation on the part of our law makers;
therefore, .
Resolred, That We earnestly recon-
mend the organization of workingmen
for political purposes, to be called n
Protective Labor Party" having for
its object:

Mysterious Murder.

Dayton, August 1.-THE body of a
woman named Mary Donaldson was
found hanging to a tree near Milledge-
vile Thursday. The body contained
marks of violence, showing that her
death was not a suicide. There is a
great deal of excitement in regard to
the affair and several parties have been
arrested at Milledgeville who are sup
posed to have been accessories to the
crime. The statement of a physician
c~orroborated the fact, that the girl was
dead before she was hung to the tree,
and the jury brought in a verdict of
death by causes unknown. The girl
was of good family and respected by
all who knew her. She had been miss
ing for several days when her body was
foIlnd

A ESCAPE.


Topeka, August 10.-A seven year
old daughter of j. p. Ennis was, on
Friday. while riding, thrown from 4
horse and hung in the stirrup while the
horse ran about ten rods. She was so
short her head did not touch on the
ground, 10 that she escaped with a
slight hurt. Those who saw it were
paralyzed with fear, expecting every
moment that her head as it swung
around would hit a wagon, a number
being on the street.

Contradictory Reports.

Contradictory Reports.
London, August 11.-News from the
seat OF war, to-day, is SO confused and
so indefinite that it is almost impossi-
BILE to sift the truth from the great
mass of dispatches constantly arriving.
There are many uncertain reports of
battles, but nearly as soon as they
arrive denials come from one side Or
the other. The Russians are deter
mined not to allow the truth to come
out when they are defeated, while the
Turkish generals are maintaining dis
Greet silence in regard to all move
ments Of the slightest Importance,
whether they result successfully for
their side or otherwise. When they
are obliged to talk, they dilate at great
length on the multitudious reports of
Russian atrocities. In other respects
it is not probable they are conducting
operations with discreet reticence.

THE CHINESE ~coNUNDRUM.

Senator Morton Interviewed in Frisco.
San Francisco, August ia depu-
tation of leading Chinese merchants
recently waited upon Senator Morton
with regard to the troubles attendant
upon the presence of their countrymen
in California. The spokesman stated
in effect that there was a strong feeling
existing against them; that their
property had been destoyed, they had
been subjected to personal violence,
their rights under the Burlingame
treaty disregarded, and that the state
and United States governments had
failed to afford them the protection TO
which they were entitled; that they did
not blame the American people for this
state of affairs, recognizing the fact
| that it was the foreign element h a so
| strongly opposed them; and that having
borne with this treatment for many
years with no prospect of relief, they
wished to adopt such measures as
would have a tendency to check Chinese
immigration, and to this end requested
the Senator to introduce a bill at tile
next session of Congress providing for
the modification or abrogatiOn of the
| Burlingame treaty, and for the levying
| of u per capita tax of II hundred o
lars. on every Chinaman landing in
| America, the proceeds of this tax to be
devoted to paying the passage back to
China of those Cinnamon who desire to
return but lack means.
They also expressed their intention
of ~endeavoring to induce the Pacific
Mail and Occidental and Oriental steam
ship companies to modify their rates of
steerage passage so as make the rate
Mnmfer 1etficIng" the price thence to
China to thirty dollars. The present
rate is fifty-five dollars either way.
They expressed their readiness to pro-
| vide all mean necessary to pay any
expenses incident upon procuring such
legislation.
Senator Morton expressed his will
lingness to introduce such a bill.
Touching the recent troubles in this
| city, the committee of safety have had
repeated consultations with the leading
spirits of the workingmens' party,
%anti-coolie organizations, ETC., all of
whom unite in deprecating any resort
to violence, and announce their readi-
ness to cooperate in maintaining the
peace of the city against hoodlum as
saults.
Chinese Claims Against Uncle Sam.
San Francisco, August 11.-Colonel
Fred A. Bee, well known in connection
with affairs of the Chinese on this
coast, will present a claim against the
| United States government for indem-
nifty in the case of the Chinese of this
city, whose property had been destroyed
during the recent disturbance.
The application will be made through
the British minister at Washington, as
China has no ministerial representative
there, and the parties injured e%migrated
from the British port of Hong Kong.
The claims will aggregate about one
hundred thousand dollars, upward of
half of which is for actual, and the
remainder for constructive damages.

A SpIendld Success.

The Ladies bazaar at the Baptist church is
proving more than successful, and all who
have thus far found time to visit, look over
the attractions and enjoy the delightful mu-
sic, have been more than repaid. To-day
everything has been in splendid working Or
der, and the departments of Messrs. w. H.
Frear, StaTkweather, Allen and Baker. and
Fred II. Cluett, have been exhibited in a
mastery and enterprising manner. but Of the
latter we desite more fully to speak. Mr..
h'rsd II. Clustt, who withdrew june list
from the old firm of Cluett 81 Sons. to en-
gage in business for himself, under more sat
isfactOry circumstances, agreeable to such
arrangement, secured the large and attrae-
tive store No. 800 River street, and as the
manufacturers whose instruments he had
been very largely representing for approach
ing twenty years, saw fiit to transfer their
agencies and territory to him, when MI.
Cluett was prepared to open mis- new store he
carried with him the prestige of putting in
and offering for sale a carefully selected
stock of the incompatible pianos of Stein
way and Chickcrlng, the meritOrious Haines
Bros. and the immensely popular Estey or
gan, now university acknowledged to be the
leading organ of the world, AppreciatinP
the opportunity of being thus able to meet
so many of the sturdy yeomanry of Vermont
and Its most public spirited citizens
Mr.. Cluett saw fit to avail himself of thepres.
ent multitudinOus gathering and has put
on exhibition at the Baptist church seven
splendid representative instruments. To
add to the interest of the occasion, the SER
wees of Prot. Louis Davis, of Troy, have
been secured, and when it is generally known
that the accomplished professor performs
upon two instruments, piano and organ al
the same time, we doubt not that during the
balance of the entertainment and exposition
the church will be crowded with intelligent
audiences. We noticed that Mr.. Edwin Ira
cy, who has been very intimately associated
with Mr.. Cluett for q number of years, is ad-
vantageously representing his interests and
to him we are indebted for many courtesies
