Massacre ina the Pacific.
(From the 7ii;meS.)

Advices of the 18th of July, re-
ceived at Lloyd's from Sydney, New
South Wales, state that the Queens
lamd Government agent on board the
May Queen gives the following ac-
count of the massacre of the boats
crews of that "labour" vessel:-"I
regret to report the murder of our
recruiting agent, Richard MDonaId,
and eight of the boats crews, by the
natives of Aoba, two only of the
boats crews escaping and swimming
to the ship. This happened on the

east point of Aoba, nearly becalmed.

warned the recruiting agent to be
particularly careful, and on no &C
count to allow the two boats ashore
at the same time, the one boat to act

not done, unfortunately; hence the
catastrophe. During the day the
captain tried to work the vessel
southwark to pick up the boat. The
wind was too light, however, and the
current which runs along the Aoba
coast was against us. At 100 pm.
a coo-ee' was heard from the water;
men were sent to the masthead, but
could not discover any one. At 2

PunishmenG Of the Ferrea''
COnspiratOrs.

Henderson, Wallace, and Wright,
the persons who contrived to obtain
fraudulent possession of the steam
ship Ferret many months back in
Glasgow, and were subsequently
arrested in Melbourne, were tried at
the last criminal sessions of the
Supreme Court on three several
charges. 1st conspiracy to defraud
the owners of the Ferret, the High
land Railway Company; I'd, conspi-
racy to defraud intending purchasers
of the vessel in Melbourne and Sd,
conspiracy to deceive the Commits
sioners of Trade and Customs, by
entering the vessel here in a false
name, and to obtain a certificate of
sale, under which the vessel could
have been sold in this port. The
prisoners were acquitted of an at
tempt to defraud the Railway Com
pany, but they were convicted on the
other counts. Henderson and Wal
lace were sentenced to seven years
Imprisonment, and Wright to impri-
sonment for three years and six
months. The case excited greet

of smallpox, which is supposed to
have been imported from Hongkong.
This is not absolutely proved, but it
is probable, the first known case hav-
ing shown itself in a Chinese house.
The early steps taken by the Gov
eminent to deal with the disease were
not very judicious, and it has got a
slight footing. A new smallpox hos
pital, however, has been constructed
a few miles out of town, and an
ambulance and d~isinfecting corps has
been established. All new cases are
at once isolated, the patients removed
into quarantine, and their houses dis
infected. At present we have only
had Is cases, of which two have
been fatal, and it is hoped that by
prompt and effective treatment. we
may stamp the disease out entire

Statue OF Marco Polo i'm Venice.

A statue of Marco Polo, discovered
in Canton, has been received at his
native city, Venice. 1t is life-size,
made of wood, and gilt. According
to a foreign contemporary, the famous
Venetian traveller is represented
seated, wearing the Chinese attire,
although the cloak and hat are after
the European fashion. His nous
tache and beard, which surround his
face, are tinged dark blue, and while
the Chinese artist has given him .
peculiar form, the features in no away
resemble those of a Monaghan type.
Opposite the large, red, easy arm
chair upon which Marco Polo is
seated is placed a porcelain bowl
intended to receive perfumes, with
which he vas honoured in the snme
manner, as is the protecting genius
of China in the temple. Of Canton.
The statue has at the foot an inserip-
ton in Chinese characters.-P~13ey

They picked up the dearest man, u
of our boats crew, named Dick, a
New Caledonian, severely wounded
in five places with tomahawks and
knives, and put back to the ship with
him. They then put off for the other,
and got him just in time; he was
utterly exhausted. He was the steers

named Billy. He has a fearful toma-
hawk cash in his back. How they

New South Wales and the
Chinese.

Since Parliament has assembled
it has been principally busy over the
Bill to restrict Chinese immigration.
The general form of this measure
is in harmony with that which was
framed at the IntercoIonial Confer
cnce, the two great points in which
were the levyIng of an import duty
Of 910 on each Chinaman, and the
making it penal to bring them 10 the
colony by sea in larger proportion
than one for every hundred tons of
the ships burden. Our Government,
however, has added another clause,
in virtue of which any ship bringing
Chinaman into the country may be
quarantined indefinitely. Consider
able objection has been made to the
Introduction of this clause, on the
ground that it is unwi:e to make use
of the quarantine laws for any other
purpose than the protection Of the
public health. But the Government
urge that a vague fear is the best
deterrent, and that though this arbi-
trary power is never likely to be
improperly used, the knowledge that
the Government has it will deter
shippers coming to this port from
taking a Chinaman on board. There
is a small party who intensely dislike
making Chinese Immigration penal,
who recoil from the idea of putting a
poll-tax on them, and who think that
the clause limiting the number to be
brought in each ship is quite sufi-
cient for all practical purposes. A
thousand-ton ship could only bring
ten Cinnamon, and at hat rate it
would be quite impossible for US to
be swamped by these unpopular
arrivals. But it is impossible to
satisfy the Glamour of the working
classes by this moderate amount of
encouragement. They want to go
as near as possible to absolute prohi-
bition. The Government has salts
fed this demand by the ten pound
poll-tax and the risk of indefinite
quarantine. The Act is made inap-
plicabie to British subjects, and
although some of the furious anti
Chinese agitators demur to this dis
tinction, the Government point out
that the Bill might be disallowed in
England if this saving clause were
not included. British subjects, how
ever, will have to prove their natu-
ralization, and it can easily be under
stood that the subject may be made
as troublesome as possible for them.
The feeling against the Chinese
has been intensified by the outbreak

What it is alleged Burke and Dewey Re
ceiVed for Conserving to their
Dismissal.

1t is reported on the streets and in
stock circles, says the San Francisco
Pest, that Burke, who in all the suits
has been but the dummy of Squire p
Dewey and his principals compromised
upon the condition that the bonanza firm
should take up $4,000 shares of bonanza
stock at $40 per share. 1t is said that
Dewey, in supplying his lawyers and his
dummy with the funds t., hlrass the
bonanza firm, has expended over thirty
thousand dollars. Another story is to
the effect that Burke and his associates
received much larger figure than
$1SO,OOO with the condition that Burke
should not only drop the bonanza and
O'Brien estate litigation, but that he
should case the role Of public reformer.
One significant fact in connection with
the dismissal Of the suits is that Burke.

past ten days. HIS attorney says that
this is merely Il coincidence, and moth
ing more, rs Burke went to Stockton to

there went to sacramento, where he is

THE WAsHOE INDIANS.
Obliged to Leave Carson, They Diiafe
on the Knsratitude Of fi,e Whites.

The Wash0e Indians have received
orders from the city authorities to leave
Carson and remain outside the city
limits during the hot season. This plan
has been decided upon to guard against
the possibility OF smallpox breaking out
and spreading among the whites. The
Piutes Of Storey county have been eX-
PEELED from the city because OF small
pox in their midst, and it is thought
that as the WashoeS are like their
neighbors on the ComstOck-not spe-
cialiy clean in their habits-the same
causes may lead to the same results.
The Indians do not seem % compre-
bend why they should be driven be-
yOnd the borders of the city, when no
smallpox has as yet appeared among
them. One of tn. Washoes called at
the APPEAL office yesterday, and de-
sired, through an interpreter, to express
his opinion us to the ingrati,ude OF the
whites. He desired to remind them
that during the Indian Wal some TWEEN
ty years the WashOes sided with the
whites, and also came in ana delivered
up their arms as Il guarantee Of good
faith. Some of the Washoes even Joined
the white forces, and acted as guides,
always doing the fair thing. He called
special attention to the honesty of the
Washoes, and challened the Reporter to
name Il single instance Of theft ON their
part. After all these things he thought
it little rough. that his tribe should be
driven to the hills on the b.re p-usprct
of smallpox breaking out among them.
The Indians had lived, he said, by do
ing work for the whites, and always
paid cash at the stores for what they
got. If deprived of the means of earn
ing money, he did not see how they
would manage to get along. He drew
a dolrful picture OF a lot OF Waohoe In
iians starving in the mountains, and
hoped that the authorities, viewing the
case in its proper light, would relent.

BODlE MACHfsNEET.


The opening of the new road to Haw-
thOrne does not seem to be attended
with the dire business distress which
was predicted. Travellers going to
Bodie generally stop over night at Car
son before taking passage on the narrow
gauge. The greatest help to the city is
the fact that a good deal of the heavy
machinery for the Bodie mines is being
built at the V. d L. machine shop,
which gives large numbers of men EN-
ployn.ent. The cars for the new road
from Bodie to Mono Lake are also being
made here, and for.y freight cars are
now being Although travel
on the V. a. L. is very light. and ten
locomotives are lying idle, the machine
shops are running with a good force,
and are likely to continue to do SO for
some time. The quicker the Bodie
mines get their machinery at Work, the
better it will be for Carson.
