HAVANA, October 3l.-The report OF the
selling OF coolies, brought by Dr.. Seeche
from Trinidad, was confirmed with the ad-
dition that Seeche had engaged to bring
from Trinidad and Demcrara ten thousand
coolies aycar, they being contracted for five
years at one shilling q day, and that Of
forty coolies, which Seeche had already
brought, he had sold three at Santiago
De Cuba for $500 each. The fraud in the
contracts, which were made out in English
and Spanish, consisted in English not being
a translation OF Spanish, rs the latter gave
Seeche the full llpower Of the transfer while
the former docs not mention this copdition.
Some OF the contracts were for one year,
and were signed by the Coolies, who could
read, The remainder are for five years, and
are signed with their marks by those who
could not write or did not understand the
contracts. The British Consul there
fore seized tho contracts alter
considerable trouble and resistance
on the part OF Seeche, who brought
civil action against the Coolies for breach
OF contract and criminal action against the
Consul himself. The latter succeeded in
shipping the Coolies back TO. Trinidad.
Some misunderstanding was reported to
have arisen between. the British Consul
and the government here, and 1t was re-
ported that the latter had threatened to
withdraw the Consul's exequatnr.. Ihe
audacity OF the whole scheme will be ap-
preciatcd when the fact Is known that
these Coolies were, without exception,
British subjects. 81,

The Kid Glove Cnse.

WASHINGTON, October 3l.-There was n
preliminary hearing Of New York parties
interested in the kid glove assessment this
morning at the Treasury Department. Mr.:
Clarke, representing Isclirs 4 CO., agreed
that the facts were sufficient to justify the
Secretary OF the Treasury in remitting the
entire matter to to the appraisers on the
ground that there had been no valid ap-
sraisement. There had .cettainly been ir.
regularities in the proceedings. Judge
French did not understand the Secretary
OF the Treasury as advising any course af-
fecting the valuation, but merely to exam
inc the law points involved. General APP
praiser Ketchum asked how the appraise:
mient could be re-opened, as the gloves had
gone into consumption, and Mr.. Clarke re-
Piled that the custom officers have the
same pleas. Judge French said he would
notify tho parties interested when he
would come to decision on the legal
questions involved, and tho conference
came TO q close.

Morton, Of the Executive Office, and VIM.
T. Crump, OF the Presidents household,
reached Baltimore this afternoon on visit
TO the Maryland Institute Fair. On ar
irving at Camden Station the President
was taken to the City Hall, where he was
received by Mayor Latrobe, who welcomed
him in brief speech, to which the Presi-
dent replied. Other city officials were,
present, including Collector Thomas and
Postmaster Tyler. From the City Hall the
President, accompanied by the city otti-
cials and a Committee OF the Maryland In
stitute, proceeded to the Carrollton House,
where lunch was served. Thence they
went to the Fair OF the Maryland Institute.
The hall was denscly crowded, and when
the President appeared on the platform he
was received with cheers, the band play
ing "Hail to the Chief"
James II. Bond, President OF the Mary
land Institute, introduced the President,
who spoke as follows: |SSi i,
FELLOW CITIZENS OF BALriNoRE-1t is
well known that believe in the faithful
observance OF contracts, and there was q
distinct understanding with my friends OF
the committee that while in Baltimore |
should not be called upon to make q
speech. Believing in the sacredness Of
contracts, / do not propose to make o
speech. l thank you, however, for the
kind attention to the two or three SEN
tences have uttered, and the committee
for their kind and: hospitable reception.
[Applause.
The crowds rushed to the stand to shake
hands with the President, who subse-
quently walked through the various divi-
sions Of the Fair. At 1910 o'clock the
Presidential party returned to Washington,

WAsniSdroS, D. G., October 3l.-The
United States Consul ut Tangicrs trans
mitted dispatch to the State Department:
giving an account OF frightful ravages OF
cholera in the interior OF Morocco. The
misery among the people is great. Busi-
ness is almost completely paralyzed. The
cholerai is sweeping over the middle and
southern PROVINCES. Hundreds are dying
OF starvation. To all these miseries small
pox and malignant fevers add their hor.
rors. Never before has Morocco passed
through such fearful ordeal. All the
leading Israelites and many Europeans
have fled from Tangiers panic stricken,
while the wild and uncertain rimors OF the
'rayagcs OF the pestilence in the interior
which are brought daily to Tangiers by the
refugees, add TO The general CONSERVATION.
While immense numbers OF persons are
starving in the very streets of Tangiers,
and while merchants are selling all bread
stuffs at cost, the authorities still persist
in levying tariff OF 10 per cent on all i'm
ports OF provisions. Add to all these fear
ful visitations further the fact that the
neighboringg countries have almost COM
pletely cutoff Morocco from communica-
tionJ with tho outside world, and no
gloomier picture can be imagined.

/ BY he PSsilat ollie United Staies:
The recurrence OF that season at which
1t is the habit OF the people to make

sons for our gratitude and Thanksgiving.
Exuberant harvests, productive mines.
ample crops Of the staples Of trade and
manufacture, have enriched the country.
The resources thus furnished to our reyiy-
ing industries and expanding commerce
are Fastening the day when discords and
distresses will, under the continued favor
of Providence, have given way to conf
dence and energy and assured prosperity
and happiness. Peace with all nations
has remained. unbroken, and domestic
harmony has prevailed, and the .institu-
tions OF liberty and justice which the wis.
dom and virtue OF our fathers established
remain the glory and defence OF theirchild-
rem. The general prevalence OF the bless
ings OF health through our wide land has
made more CONSPICUOUS the sufIerings and
sorrows which the dark shadow OF the
pestilenoe has cast on. portion OF our
people. This heavy attiiction even the
Divine Ruler has tempered to the suffer-
ing communities in the universal sympathy
and succor which have followed to their
relief, and the whole nation may rejoice
in the unity of spirit in our people, by
which they cheerfully share anothers bur

Poiiramy In the Courts.

SALT LAKE, October 3l.-In the Myles
case, Miss Owens, second wife testified,
and the prosecution closed the case. 1t
appears that Myles went TO England as
missionary, and brought Miss Owens to
this country, together with his mother.
They had been in this country three weeks,
when It was understood that the marriage
was to take place according. to the serre-
mony OF the Mormon Church. Miss
Owens had been a member Of the church
for two years. The parties looked upon
the advice OF the President Of the church
as right and conclusive. II was claimed
by the defense that the marriage with
Miss Owens, had been proven. 1t was
admitted that tho defendant had occupied
the same apartment with her the night
succeeding the marriage. The pitiful
pleading face Of this poor English girl was
enough 10 stir the hear OF any but asavage,
as there was no hope for her from investi'
CATION, but TO prove her shame.
SALT LAKE, urAn, October Sl.-Miles
case is closed. The defendant was held
for action OF the grand jury in fifteen hun
dred dollars bonds.

steamer Georsia Investigation.

SAN Francisco, October 3l.-In the ex-
animation OF Captain Howard for the loss
OF the steamer Georgia to-day, Hennessy
Purser, OF the steamer, testified: In all
my sailing with Howard l never saw him
under the influence OF liquor on the ship.
Iheard rumor after the passengers were
on the Salvador that Howard was under
the influence OF liquor. The state
ment in the Chronicle that the
Captain was taken to his rooms drunk is
entirely false, nothing OF the.kind occurred.
Saw Howard giving orders after the ship
struck as to the boats and provisions.
When I first went on. deck after the ship
struck the weather was misty with driz-
cling rain. Land was about half or
three quarters OF mile of and In plain
sight.
Ii. ]. Bernard, steeragc passenger, testi-
fed that he saw Capt. Howard Just before
the steamer struck. A woman camc out
OF his room, and witness went below IA

saw the Captain atboat one. He was very

probable End d .he C,sonousahela Coal
Miners, strike.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, October S0.-The strike
OF the coal miners OF the Monongahela
River is now about on its, last legs, accord
ing to reports. Many OF the principal
works along the river have been idle for
some months, on account Of the demand
for q cents per bushel made by the miners.
Some OF the pits Of Brown & Co.'s works
have been in operation all summer. Two
weeks ago another one Of the works was
started by the miners agreeing to dig for 2
cents per bushel. This evening Colonel
Schoonmaker, the Manager OF the works,
received letter stating that the balance
OF the strikers, who have been idle since
MAY last, arc clamorous to resume work
Immediately at the old rate. The miners
employed at; the works OF 0'Neill & Co.,
,Joseplt Walton and Roberts & Co., re-
sumed work yesterday at the former
prices paid for mining. The works Of
James 4. Stone &Co., II. B. Hayes & Bro,
Rishers, Lysle 4 Co., and one or two
others on the line OF the river, are still
idle, but 1t Is the opinion OF well informed
operators that Just as soon as the firms
mentioned arc ready TO resume operations
there will be no difficulty in securing the
miners, or, in other words, that the bottom
has dropped out OF the strike.
