The Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who

but lead to an aggravation OF frauds and
Irregularities in the Indian service.

INDIAN AFFAIRR.

The Benton Record says: The Nez
Perce Indians reported on the Marias are
now prisoners at Fort Shaw. The party
consists of five bucks. four sauaws and
two boys, all from across the line. The
leader Of the party went to the Blackfoot
Agency. where he was taken prisoner by
Agent Young and brought to Fo, Shaw.
Captain Rawn. commanding the post then
sent detachment to the Marias and ar
rested the rest Of the party, who were
found in the Piegan camp. The prisoners

THE GREAT PLAGUE.

AT last accounts the yellow fever was
with little exception. raging with unabated
fury At some points favorable weather
changes had taken place. and at Grenada
Mississippi, and other points. slight frosts
had fallen. The contributions from all
parts of the country continued large, but
so great is the suffering and destitution
that much privation exists. The Govern
ment had been called upon for tents that
convalescents might be moved and shelter
ed out of infested districts, and the demand
has been answered to the extent Of public
ability. The death rate has not lessenel,
and new cases are constantly repol ted from
all inflicted sections. At Memphis the
coiored people have acted SO faithfully that

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.

Chicago, September 20-President An
derson. of the University, who has Just re
turned from San Francisco, lectured herr
last night in answer to the question
"Must the Chinese go?'' He admitted
that the Chinese had driven the white labor
out Of the trades Of shoe making and cigar
making. and that there was some basis for
the cutlery against them, but the cutlery
was great exaggeration and most OF the
reasons why it was said the Chinese must
go would not bear scrutiny.
Although white laborers did not receive
as high wages as they did few years ago,
yet. they still get more than the white la
borers of the Mississippi valley. There
had been no general depreciation Of wages.
The Chinese were no fonder of work than
Were other men. They wanted to be cap
i'alisis. Everybody was capitalist who
had anything saved-up ahead. Even Kear-
ney was capitalist, for he owned, several
horses and drays that were making money
for him while he was making speeches in
his shirt-sleeves. If the Chinese did send
their money home they didn't rob this
country. they lett behind the equivalent
of the money in work. If the Americans
didn't prefer the work to the money, they
wouldn't pay tie money. In regard to
cleanliness, the doctors said that there was
no other class in this country that did
equal work and kept SO clean rs the Chi
nese. In regard to lewdness, the Chinese
were not notably worse than the white
people. The worst street in Chinatown
was one filled up with white houses Of
prostitution. The cry OF leprosy was
ridiculous exaggeration. There were in
San Francisco only four or five lepers, and
eprOsy was not q contagious disease.
sound Craftsmanship and sound political
economy Offered no support to the cry.
