the better sense of the people asserted itself.
The Legislature took sensible view OF its
duty, the Courts interpreted conservatively,
double taxation was avoided, and the fiscal
system of California is now substantially that
which before existed, and is no more objec.
tionable now than that of New York or Mas

The killing OF spotted TaiI-0ficiaI At-
count of the Murder.
YANKToN ID. T. J, August 10th.-The of
fetal account of the murder of Spotted Tail
was received last night by General Cook,
Agent of the Spotted Tail Indians, from act
ing Agent Lelar, which says: About noon
of the 9Th inst. Spotted Tail reported at the
Agents office to receive instructions regard
ing his contemplated visit to Washington.
He was urged to start at once, as the letter
from the Indian Office directed him to report
to Agent Andrews at the Yankton Agency
no later than the Sth inst, as delegation
from the Pine Ridge Agency was expected to
reach Rosebud Agency on the evening of the
9Th. Spotted Tail concluded to wait until
next morning, and go with the Red Cloud
delegates to the Yankton Agency. This ar
rangement having been concluded upon,
Spotted Tail decided to have talk with his
people that afternoon, and receive an express
sion of their views upon the subject to come
before the conference. Bidding Lelar good
by, saying he would call at the Office in the
evening and report for any further instruc-
lions which might in the meantime occur to
| that gentleman, Spotted Tail left for the In
dian village to confer with his people. An
interview was held with the Indians. They
had big talk and feast, and the council
horse and started homeward. The In
dams were scattering in all directions,
with the noted chief somewhat in advance of
the others, he being the first out of the lodge.
After leaving the council lodge Crow Dog
was seen approaching Spotted Tail. He had
his wife with him. He got out of his wagon,
and was stopping down when Spotted Tail
rode up to him. He suddenly raised up and
shot Spotted Tail through the left breast.
The chief fell from his horse, but rose to his
feet and made three or four steps toward
Crow Dog. endeavoring to draw his pistol.
He then reeled and fell backward. Crow
Dog jumped into his wagon and drove off at
full speed toward his camp. some nine miles
distant The acting Agent at once issued
orders for the arrest of Crow Dog, under the
paragraph in the treaty Of 1868, which rem
ders him amenable to the white mems laws.
The arrest was accomplished, and he was sent
to Jail at Niobrara to await trial for murder.
The Chinese Embassy.

Washington special says: The new Chinese
Minister who is expected to arrive in Novem
Der to succeed Chin len Pin is Ching Tsan
the Government service many years. He has
been of late Government Inspector of Arsen-
ais and more recently Director of Customs at
Tien Tsin 1t is understood that Yung
Wings place of Assistant Envoy Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary will not be
continued in the future, and Minister Ching
Tsan Yuwill bripgwith him a full complement
of attaches for Consulates in Cuba, Peru and
Spain, to replace those who return. Some

three years, for which the Chinese Govern
ment makes it's civil appointments. but
most Of them will return to China. Of the
attaches here, it is understood at the Lega-
ton that Ho Shen Chez and Yen Use Chez
will stay as part of the personnel of the new
Embassy. Tou Sum Kee who recently re-
turned to China, expects to return
with Tsan Yu. He came here to be sent as
Consul General to Peru, but owing to the
Consulate there was never established. He
returned to China on leave of absence, OBJ
tanned because his mother commanded his
presence at home. He hopes to prevail on
her to allow him to come back, provided he
receives the appointment from the Govern
| ment. Officials at the Legation explain that
tho party of Chinese students who have
started for home are to be employed in the
establishment of a telegraph line from Shang-
hal to Pekin. This week twenty of the most
apt students were chosen. They are not
yet expert operators. but will be taught
there. 1t is believed their knowledge in
other branches of the business will be exceed
ingly important in the establishment of the
line and the management of officials. 1t is
denied at the Legation that the recall Of the
students is on account of their republican
teaching here Although no cause is assigned,
the return is supposed to have been ordered
at the suggestion of Superintendent Woo, OF
the Hartford school, who is a very conserve
tive Chinese gentleman, and the cause of his
dissatisfaction does not appear to be distinct
ly understood by the attaches of the Lega-
ton. However, there has been a modifca-
ton of the order, according &c information at
the Embassy, although no time has been set
for their departure.
SECOND DIsPATCHl
CHICAGO, August 10th.-Twenty-6ve Chi
nese students, on their way from Hartford
home, arrived to-day. They say they have
completed the studies fer which they were
sent. One reason they give for being sum-
moned home is that the Governments mill
| tary and naval academies are closed TO them.
| As Germany allows them to enter her insti-
tutions, China will probably send her students
to that country hereafter, and to England.
! They state that none of their party have
