RIOT NEAR LRADvILLE.

Lisus. Governor Of Colorado shot and Killed.
DENVER, November TIA report reaches
here tonight from Leadville that riot Is in
progress among the miners at Robinsop's
Camp, about 20 miles from Leadville, and
that 1t. Governor elect Geo. B. Robinson
had been shot and killed. A relief party has
gone from Leadville. The report is believed
to be true.
i New York, Nov. 1S.-There seems to be
some mystery about the shooting of 1t. Gov.
Robinson, at Robinson's Camp, last night.
The particulars, so far as heard, are these /:
There was dispute about the possession of
a mine there, and a guard had been placed to
watch 1t. Last night Governor Robinson
and the manager of the mine went to it af-
ter dark. The guard, not recognizing them,
and not hearing an answer to the inquiry as
to who they were, fired, he says into the rock
overhead. Governor Robinson fell, shot In
four places. He is still living, but his wounds
are believed to be fatal. The fact that there
has been trouble between the miners and
managers during the past week, the guards
story and popularity of the wounds make
the theory that it was accidental very unsat-
isfactory. E .. g.. .r ..rI..

NEW YoRK, Nov. 3O.-It Is claimed on be-
half of the Northern Pacific Railroad that
land win be granted the company as fast as
the road Is built, and the government grant
has not been forfeited by the delay in COM
pleting the road There are now completed
and in operation 600 miles of road, on which
are mortgages or liens. The total funded
debt of the company amounts to $465, oOO,OOo.
II Is believed the issue of the first mortgage
bonds will amount to $5O,OOO,0OO. The
amount is limited, however,to $25, 900 mile
of finished road. To complete the road there
remains to be built 1900 miles-323 miles on
the eastern end, 457 miles on the Pacific end,
and a gap of $40 miles on the Central Divis-
ion connecting the Missouri and Pen d'Ore-
lille Divisions Under the terms of agree
ment, the syndicate has been granted the
right to name two members Of the Board OF
Directors. The persons selected are J. w.
Ellis, of the firm of Winslow, Lawrence q
Co., and J. c. Bullitt, q prominent lawyer OF
Philadelphia. The syndicate probably will
not offer the bends publicly until January;
but it is understood from members that sub
scriptions have been already received from
large capitalists, prominent among them be-
ing John Jacob Aston. The negotiations
thus completed were begun two months ago
An officer Of the First National Bank, who
was formerly of the firm of Jay Cooke Il Co..
when informed of the agreement, said:

Some UNPARALLELED Facts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The Times says: The
Union Pacific Railroad Company have
recognized . tendency toward reducing
passenger fares, and the rate from
Omaha to Ogden, near Salt Lake City, dis
tancec Of l,033 miles, has been reduced from
SIT to 500, or from u cents per mile to
cents. The earnings of the same road, dur
ing the past sixteen days of November have
increased $225, 900 over the same period last
year. What wonderful magnanimity this is
to reduce fares to cents mile over road
built by Government money and presented
TO the syndicate ring controlling It, together
with purse of SCI, 1000, 900 of unexpended
bonds, in consideration Of their trouble and
responsibility in accepting the property. The
distance from Chicago to New York is only
. few miles greater than from Omaha to Og-
den. The passage Is 81, or one-third that
charged by Jay Gouid & Co. on road built
by Government. The faithful members of
Congress from the West have looked on with
complete Indifference all these years, while
their constituents who Travelled on that road
were heeced II cents per mile on road that
cost the ring nothing, and which Is as cheap
~ operated IS are roads east Of Omaha. It
Is still cheaper for the laboring man to walk
than to ride on one Of Jay Gould's roads,
built by the people Of the United States. ]

CHINESE TREATIES.

Two New Treaties-Reguiation Of Immi grafton
sfsa Arl Left to the United States. rts
New YORK, Nov. 30.-The Trib,me's
Washington special says: Two treaties have
been negotiated with China instead of one.
The first relates mainly to the question of
Chinese immigration and the other is COM
mercial treaty. In the first the Chinese gov
eminent practically leaves the subject of
regulating immigration 10 the decision and
control of the United States. In return for
this concessions Of some new and important
commercial privileges have been granted. In
the second treaty which regulates the whole
subject of commercial intercourse, China
shipping will be placed on the same footing
as that of the most favored nation. 1t Is ex-
pected that duties paid last summer under
protest on u Chinese steamer which put In to
San Francisco will be refunded. Within q
week second vessel will arrive at San Fran
cisco and be allowed to enter that port upon
the same terms as are imposed on ships q
other nations. .,Gat..-a g...sfr-. f....

New York special has story of Robert B.
Bedell, the venerable ex-president of the
Erie Railroad Company, who married a
young and dashing second wife In '62. A
conspiracy then seemed to be formed against
him by his former intimate friend, A. l..
Murray, whose son was his wife's too intim-
ate friend, and its purpose seemed to be to
rob him Of his money. Under Its baleful
workings his wife procured divorce and
alimony, and he (BedelD was one day in &c

station at Goshen, held by two of them, and

Blaine and Garfield

WASHINGTON, November 26.-Blaine had
long private interview with Garfield to-day
and the conversation was Of the most frank
and friendly character. 1t is understood that
Blaine gave his views Of matters and things
with great freedom. 1t is probable that these
gentlemen will not meet again until the in
auguration. Such being the case Garfield
was anxious to know whatever suggestion
the Maine Senator wished to make. After
their interview Garfield was asked question
in regard to his prospective Cabinet, and he
replied he should not agree in his own mind
as to the members Of his Cabinet before Feb
ruary; that he thought this was abundantly
soon to come to conclusion upon that i'm
portant question. One Of his intimate friends
says he has determined on no single person
yet. A Southern delegation called on him
to-day in the interest Of Southern claims for
q Cabinet position. The General will stay
till Monday.

Trouble Begins.

WASHINGTON, November 26.-Horace
White and F. w. Wlthbridge, representing
the Independent Republicans of New York,
to-day presented General Garfield an address
congratulating him on his election, which
sealed the approval of the principles he had
advocated, and promised him support in car
rying them out. They gave him their cor
dial support because Of his avowed and de-
termined advocacy of civil service reform.
They dwell on the danger Of quadrennial
election for President when the spoIls are the
reward Of party supremacy. No other gov
eminent exposes its trusted servants to beg.
gary on the hazard Of an election. The abuses
of half o century's growth are not reformed
in a. day. We believe, however, that public
opinion Is In advance of any reform of the
civil service hitherto attempted, and that you
may easily establish rules for entrance to all
subordinate positions which shall make as
eertained merit the whole test of the ap-
pointed, discarding both partisan service
and party affiliation from the test Of qualifi
cation.
In this way q new basis may be gradually
gained for the civil service to rest upon, SC
that hereafter the political party in its power
shall not look upon public offices as ar
enemy's camp, subject to indiscriminate pill
lage. If the civil service shall receive the
same statesmanlike treatment at your hand.
as President as you have bestowed upon 1t
as q member of Congress and a public
teacher, you will be entitled to the gratitude
Of your countrymen and to verdict which
history awards to those who have wisely used
q great opportunity.

THE RETIRED LIST.

N Mu
WASHINGTON, Nor. 30.--E l. underst God
the chief obstacle in the way Of army retire
ments favored by President Hayes Is the hos
tility Of Gen. Sherman. He does not believe
in retiring men who, although old, are doing
very well and they are not SO old as staff Of
fcers in Europe. 1t appears there are ~ Of
fcers equal to or above grade of 1t. Colonel
who might be retired under the law as fast
as vacancies occur ON the retired list. This
would promote 135 younger officers who, with
their friends, are urging the law should be
enforced. ALI of the n except eight are staff
officers. OF these eight three are general Of
fces. 1t Is source of great concern to Of
fcers whether the President persists in his
desire to keep the retired list full or General
Sherman's policy not to retire men as long as
it can be possibly avoided. General opinion
to-day about headquarters seems that com
promise will be effected by the retirement Of
about one-half dozen including Ord, Barnes,
Meade and Dunn. ....-.

Upon careful estimate made by Treasurer

we believe it will be greatly exceeded, as this
