Chinese Resisting Officers Engaged In
Protecting a NewIY-Married Chi

sonora Avoiding the
Revolution.

SAN Francisco, February ga Virginia
City dispatch says that China town has been
in commotion all day over the abduction of a
Chinese woman Officers who went down to
rescue her were fred on by the Chinese with
shot-guns They returned the fire with re-
volvers and dispersed the Chinese. The
woman who was taken by the police was
married this evening. The couple asked to
be allowed to spend their honeymoon IN the
county Jail, as they fear they may be killed.
Considerable excitement prevailed. The
Chinese attacked the officers again this even
ing, while they were after the woman s
clothes.
A San Diego Dispatch Union special to-
day from Tucson, Arizona, says: Hundreds
of Sonorians are coming into Arizona to
avoidpart in or effects Of the revolution. Many
are destitute. Captain Rafferty,, with COM
pany of troops and Indian scouts left yester-
day for a months scout along border
southwest of here. This scout was ordered
weeks before the Sonora revolution was
known, hence no reference to it. Very little
exploring, however, was made In southwest
ern Arizona, and this expedition is a sort of
pioneer one, by which mining and other IN
formation Is expected.
In anticipation of the veto of the anti Chi
nese bill tomorrow, and the possibility of
disturbances ensuing, General M'Cune, act

placed guards over all the armorles OF the
militia. 1t Is not known tnaI, IN oOlng Ihls'
he is influenced by any knowledge of any
proposed movement of a serious nature. 1t
Is probably purely precautionary measure.
There is good ground for belief that, at the
present juncture OF political affairs in this
State, the leaders of the Workingmen and
their followers will be among the first to OPP
pose any violent action. In some quarters 1t
Is considered probable that criminals might
seek to make the veto the cause for creating
! n disturbance with a view to plunder; but
any demonstration from that quarter would
be summary Equelched.
At the police headquarters not ripple oil
excitement is discernible, and all knowledge
of anything ahoat tending to breach of the
peace is utterly dsclaimed.

THELYNN TKUNA HORROR
Proves to be Beyond Doubt Victim
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Description
OF the Corpse.

BosToN, February 2S.-The investigation
regarding the body of the young woman
found in Saugus river, at Lynn, demonstrated
beyond a doubt that death was caused by an
abortion, probably within forty-eight hours.
The body was clothed in long white night
dress; underneath was a white merlno shirt,
and around the abdomen was a swath of
brown checked gingham. In her ears were
small gold earrings, with pendent globes.
The face was clotted with frozen blood, which
being washed away revealed the fact that
the woman's nose had been cut completely
off, apparently with some sharp instrument,
and with the evident object of causing disig-
urement, which would prevent Identification.
The body was Of a person probably from
twenty to twenty-five years of age; the face
was much emaciated, aud bore signs of in
tense suffering previous to death; her weight
was about one hundred and fifteen pounds,
and hight, FIVE feet one inch; the hair was
shorter than usually worn by women, and
was of light brown color; the teeth were
sound, but uneven, and probably SHOW ed
quite prominently in front during life. The
deceased had apparently not been accustomed
to manual labor, as her hands were quite

Last evening the wife of J. P CoaIson, of
Coalville, Webster county, locked her three
children, from three to nine years OF age, IN
the house, and during her absence at
neiohbor's the house was burned to tue
ground and the children persisted IN the
flames.
Deputy United States Marshal Roe arrest
ed, yesterday afternoon and evening, at Pekin
and Peoria, some fifty persons under lndlct-
ment at Springfield for completely IN whisky
frauds. Some of them are the most proml-
pent and wealthiest citizens, and represent
every branch of business. Startling develop
ments are promised. The entire company
left for Springfield to-day. No occurrence
has produced so much excitement IN that
section for years. One of the chief witnesses
is said to be disinherited son of John NJ In
tyre, the heaviest dlstiller in that section.
Chas. w. Angel was taken to Joliet at
nine o'clock this morning. bis brother WI
liam accompanied him, and a considerable
crowd collected at the depot of the Chicago

money within year after his wife's death,
when his creditors became so pressing that

to settle with them by using the company S

ploy of the CON missioner of agriculture,

it was shipped shows that there paver has

ReeOnciied Their Little Dispute
Export and Import Statistics
Cabinet Session on the Chi
nese Question.
Tie President Regards its Veto as ABB
sOlutely Necessary-Speaker Randall
EXOnerated-The Greenback-
ers-Business Before
Congress.

WASHINGTON, February 2S-The sub
scription to the four per cent loan since yes
terday report amounts to one hdndred and
ninety-six thousand dollars.
There is the best authority for saying that
the published statements of a reconciliation
between Conkling aud Burnside are without
foundation, and upon the same authority if
can be stated that Burnside has made no re-
traction of anything SAID by him IN executive
session.
The chief OF the bureau OF statistics, in his
seventh monthly statement for the current
fiscal year, in regard to the imports and ex-
ports of the United States, says the excess of
exports over imports of merchandise appears
to have been as follows: For the month end
ing January 81, 1879, $25, 1885, 1854; for the
month ended January 81, 1873, $33, 539, 1923;
for the seven months ended January 81, 1879,
$l75, 565, 357; for the seven months ended
January 81, 1873, S135, 699, 528; for the
twelve months ended January 81, 1879,
1927, $50, 063; for the twelve months ended
January 81, 1873, $146, 781, PA.
An investigation was had at the instance
OF Speaker Randall to examine into the
charges preferred by Special Agent Will
liams, regarding Randall's connection with
certain illegal appropriation warrants.
Among the witnesses examined were Treas
urer Gilillan. Chief-of- Warrant Division
Power, Colonel Hem phil, Jones, the book
keeper of the bureau of engraving and print
ing, and Moore and Williams. The testi-
moDy is stated by members of the committee
to show that there was no irregularity what
ever on Randall's part, and that the charge
is without the slightest foundation. The
committee concluded the examination into
the affair at their meeting to-day, and will
proceed at once to prepare their report, which
will fully exonerate Mr.. Randall.
The session of the cabinet to-day was
mainly devoted to the Chinese bill. The
entire cabinet, it is said, support the Presl-
dent, who regards a veto an absolute
necessity.
The national congressional Greenback COM
mittee to- day resolved that it is not advisable
to call national convention prior to the
holding Of such to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President.
Both houses of congress held extended
sessions to-day. The senate spent the day
on the pension bill. The important business
before the house was the appearance of Sew

of the government, was also rejected. The
