timidation and fraud on the part of
Democratic members in connection with
the Senatorial election.

The Car has appointed econ
mission of Supreme Control" with Gen.
Melikoff as Chief. The Imperial ukase,
defining the powers of the Commission,
declares that 'the head of the Commits
sion shall have direct control over all
political trials held throughout the EN-
pire. All local authorities are placed
under the jurisdiction of the head of the
Commission, and all the employees in
the various departments are bound to
afford him their entire cooperation.
The head of the Commission is at liberty
to adopt any means which may appear
to him desirable for the protec-
ton of order in the Empire,
and the orders he may issue
are to be Internationally obeyed."
Gen. Melikoff has issued proclama-
ton, in which, after referring to the in
dignation felt in Russia and throughout
Europe at the attemps on the life of the
Emperor, he declares the Government
is compelled to adopt effectual meas
ures for the suppression of the evils
threatening social order. He will not
hesitate to take the most stringent
measures for the punishment of crim-
inals, while endeavoring on the other
hand to tranquilize and protect the we'll
intentioned part of society. He hopes
for the cooperation of all honest men,
and begs the population to await the
future with calmness, and to disregard
malicious and frivolous rumors.
APPREHENsIONs of serious disturb
ances in San Francisco are reported, on
account of the demands of unemployed
laborers and others for the discharge of
Chinese workmen by corporation man
ayers, in compliance with the law re-
Gently passed. A number of companies
refuse to comply with the law until its
constitutionality has been passed upon
by the United States Court. The
Board of Health has declared the en-
tire district known as Chinatown a
nuisance, and ordered the removal of
the occupants to the outskirts of the
city. A seeming dilatoriness in carry
ing this order into execution has added
to the clamor of the workingmen. A
citizens vigilance committee has been
formed, in order to suppress any violent
outbreak that may endanger the peace
of the city.
THE Union Pacific Railway Company,
on the 9th, by order of Jay Gould, took
forcible possession of the telegraph bust
ness along their lines, by abruptly sew
ering the Western Unions connections
at all principal points, and making con-
nections with their own offices.
The American Union Telegraph Com
pany, of which Mr.. Gould is the prin-
cipal promoter, will succeed to the bus
mess, unless the Courts decide that the
Western Union Company own the lines,
as claimed by them, by virtue
of their contract with the Union
Pacific Railway Company. The
Western Union Company had already
obtained an injunction restraining the
Union Pacific Company from interior
ing with their lines, and an almost end
less litigation seems likely to result from
the proceedings already taken.
THE Senate Committee on Territories,
after having heard arguments from rep
resentativcs of the Cherokee Nation in
opposition to the bill providing for the
establishment of United States Court
in the Indian Territory, decided to ad-
here to their previous action, directing
the measure to be reported with recon-
mendation for passage.
In conformity with the recent procla-
nation of the President in reference to
the threatened invasion of the Indian
Territory by would-be settlers, two
companies of troops have been ordered
to rendezvous at Caldwell, Sumner
County, and two companies at Coffey-
vile, Montgomery County, Kansas,
to put forcible stop, if necessary,
to the movement across the Kansas
border.

the Mexican Government a franchise
for the extension of their line through
the State of Sonora, to the port of Quay
mas, ON the Gulf of California. The
Mexican division of the road will be
known as the Sonora Railway. Quay
mas is about 600 miles in an
air line from Santa Fe. The route
has already been mostly surveyed,
and the work will be pushed as speedily
as possible. The rails for the Mexican
division are being purchased in Eng
land, and will be landed at Guaymas
duty free. Guaymas has commodi-
Gus port and enjoys large coasting
trade, and it is said the bulk of the bust
