h Colored Exodus.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Senate
Exodus Committee yesterday examined
George T. Ruby (oolored). editor Of the
New Orleans Observer. who said the exc.
dus originated among the plantation
laborers and was the result OF the politi.
cal mobs OF 1874 and 1875. The idea
spread rapidly through the State, partic.
ularly in the cotton belt, where outragss
had been most frequent. Outrages in
Louisiana in 1878 had caused the New
Orleans Convention to consider the
means Of going out Of the hell in which
they lived. There was In New Orleans
alargs and increasing class Of white Dem.
oorats who deplore the present condition
Of affairs. but these men are merchants
and capitalists, naturally timid, and sI.
ert no influence over the political lead.
srs. who are Q rabid minority, and who
control the party. Nearly 5000 negroes
have gone from Louisiana to Ksnsss.

WASHINGTON, March l0.-Althoush
no orders have yet been issued by the
Washington authorities In regard to the
present situation in San Francisco, sI.
cspt to keep them (the a%uthohties) con.
stantly advised and meanwhile to have
the United States forces In readiness for
an order from President Hayes to 70.
spond to the call OF the Governor
OF California, 1t may be consii.
cred certain that President Hayes
order will DO telegraphsd imme-
dist, ly. in ease the Interpolation OF
Federal authority 10 invoked by the
Governor to preserve tho peace, and 1t
Is believed here that the troops already
within reach OF San Francisco. together
with the United States msn.of-war now
in the harbor. will be sufficient to make
the response to any such amply sufa-
Gent. At the same time 1t 10 the belief
OF the Washington authorities that the
good sense OF the people Of San Francis.
co will undoubtedly avert any need for
Federal in~tsrposition. aud that good
order will be maintained by wise coun.
sells and judicious, peaceful measures OF
the local authorities.

afirms the Monroe doctrine 30 vigorous
ly. In reply to the question by whom
this opposition will be made be said:
"Why, by men Of sense The rssolu.
ton Of the committee is . declaration Of

Los ANoKLrs, March l0.-A terrific
wind storm passed over Pasodona and
the San Gabriel valley last night. The
most remarkable feature OF the storm
was that, while tho wind howlsd among
the trestops like the roar Of Niagara,
on the surface Of the ground there
was scarcely breeze enough to move
o feather. Birds and fowls roosting In
the trees were driven out in great fright,
and domestic animals sought the shelter
OF houses and barns. It was the nearest
approach 10 . tornado ever known here.
A brilliant meteor passed over the
southern part Of this city at 2 o'clock
this morning. II exploded just beyond
the city. emitting q green light.

The Steam Wagons.
Reno Ga.,tie Mareh 10. :


Yesterday q reporter Of the Reno Ga.
.ette was sent out to Wadsworth to col.
lsct information in regard to the routes
on which 1t il proposed to run the newly
arrived steam wagons. Prominent
freightsrs and teamsters are doubtful Of
their success. Fuel aud water are scarce
on the roads to lone and Bslleyille, and
in many places the sand Is deep. and
several bridges are not strong. In n
place on the Bslleville road there 10 no
water for 80 miles, aud In other places
II 10 alkaline and unfit for steaming pur.
poses. On the lone road there are runs
Of from % to 25 miles without water,
and wells have often to be dug over 100
feet deep to get any. Owners OF toll
roads are opposed to the steam wagons,
ON account Of freightipg teams being
more profitable to them. An engine was
tried at the Rye Patch mine and the
Rabbit Hole sulphur mine, but was I'M.
successful. Il IL now hauling wheat in
