The Chicago Tribune thinks the vote in that
city will be close In November. AS the
Tribune is q Republican paper that Is always
disposed to put the best face upon party
prospects, this is scarcely an encouraging
outlook from the Republican point of view.
The fact Is that the Democrats look for a
walk-over and their opponents are preparing
fnf. sllch a result. -

A Chinese woman Roasted to Death.

As officer Avan was patroling Pa
ciic street, below Stockton, about
balf.past three O'Clock this morning,
be heard soma muifled police whistles
the sounds evidently coming from
the basement Of the second building
below Bartlett alley. Plunging down
a riekety stairway, into the opium
dens and sleeping holes, be groped
along low corridor toward the rear
of the building, where q bright light
could be seen and where the whistles
were echoing furiously Pushing his
way through group Of half dozen
aud wholly stupid Chinese that stood
around the blaze, the officer got q
view Of it and saw the horrible spec
taclc of Chinese moman living on
her back on the floor, kicking and
moaning, while her elcth;ng was in a
blaze from head to foot The horri-
BILE roasting continued until the off =
Ger could get some water and sever
al buckets of it had to be dashed on
before the Iiaze was extinguished.
The Chinese gazed indifTerently on
all the while aud did nothing. With
Officer Fleming's assistance the IN
fortunate victim was picked up and
carried to the city prison, together
with four Of the Chinese, who were
arrested on suspicion of having been
concerned ia the affair. The woman
was literally baked from head to
foot. Her hair was barned from
her head, her eyes burned out, and
her skin hung in fragments from ev-
cry part Of her body She still re-
tanned consciousness, however, but in
response to the question Of n inter-
prefer would only say II was hun
CRY; | got up to eat and caught FIRE +"
There was a deep cut on the back Of
her head an inch and half long, ev-
identity made with some sharp in
strument, but nothing could be learn
ed of its origin. The hall in which
the woman was found was filthy in
the extreme, and had every appear
ance of a prison. She had been there
long time, Judging frcm what eould
be learned, aud was the only woman
in the building. She was said to
have been incurahly sick, and been
shut up to die, though onIy twenty
four years old.
Whether the parties desirous Of
her death ..hastened it with coal oil
and mach, or whether she, BY
means not apparent-as there was
no FIRE in the room except a dim
lamp on the wall-set herself on FIRE,
will probably remain one of the
myriad mysteries that the under
ground dens Of the Chinese quarters
conceal. The woman fingered until
about I O'Clock in great agony, and
then died. Her name was Quoy Chin.

The oseaa Floor


Here is an end OF all romance
about hidden ocean depths. We can
speculate no longer about peris il
chambers Of pearl, or mermaids, or
heaped treasures and dead mems
bones whitening in coral caves. The
whole ocean floor is now mapped cut
for us. The report Of the exploring
expedition sent out from London in
Her Majesiy's ship, Challenger has
recently been published. Nearly
four years were given TO the evan
nation Of the currents and floors of
the four great oceans Of the world.
TIE Atlantic, we are told, IL drained,

ain ridge in the middle running par

land, on the TOP Of which lies sub
marine cable. The OCEAN is thus di-
vided into three great basins, no lon
ger "unfa:homed depths" The tops
Of these sea mountains are two miles
below sailing ship; aud the basins,
according TO Beclns fifteen miles,
which is deep enough for drowning,
if not for mystery The mountains
are whitened for thousands Of miles
by tiny, creamy she'll The depths
are red in color, heaped with volcan-
ic masses. Through the black mo-
tionless water OF these abysses move
gigantic abnormal creatures. which
never rise to the upper currents.
There is an old legend coming down
to Us from the ffst ages Of the world
on which these scientific deep sea
soundings throw a curious light.
Plato and SolOa recorded the tradi-
ton, ancient il their days, of a coun-
try in the western seas where aOag-
ishsd the Grst civilization Of man
kind, which by volcanic sc.ion was
submerged and lost The same
story is told by the Central Ameri-
cans, who still celebrate 10 the fast
of Izealli the frighiful cataclysm
which destroyed this land with its
stately ciIies. De Bourbourg and
other sIcheologists assert that this
land extended from Mexico beyond
the West Indies. The shape Of the
plateau discovered by the Challenger,
corresponds with this theory. What

mania for European travel 10 strong.
1t has become ;be fashionable thing
to come to Europe. Swarms of
Americans from all parts Of the I'm.
nion, and from Canada, are ranging
the continent, spending usually the
largest portion Of their time and
money in Paris. Formerly only
Americans came to Europe, those
who had struck oil, government
contract, or cotton plantations. Now
the United States sends forth bat.al-
ions who come with only four or five
hundred dollars, for pleasure, to study
art, or for general culture The old
class set the example of high prices,
and Europeans have been only too
happy to believe that the chief pleas
ure of Americans is to spend money.
The old wealthy class Of American
travellers have by their prodigality
done a great wrong to those who
come after them. 1t is edifying to
see q number of Americans travel
abroad No people in the world
have such facility Of fraternization
