Washington, June Ex-senator NIL
Ter called upon Secretary Frelinghuysen
in relation to the story published in
some of the eastern newspapers that
the Chinese government had formally
complained to the president through
the Chinese legation here Of the enact
ment Of the Chinese prohibatory law.
The statement was also made that the
president in view of this complaint,
had promised to recommend congress
in his next annual message to modify
the Chinese bill. Mr.. Frelinghuysen
told the senator hat the story was of
fabrication, and that no official com
plants had been received from the
Chinese government and the president
not having promised to suggest any
changes in the present law. THE
most impudent request L have heard of
in a long time,'' said Miller, sis that of
the Chinese government to ship go, 900
Chinese home from Cuba via New
York and San Francisco" Everybody
knows that there not more 10, 900
Chinese in Cuba, and if they want to
go home why don't they take . direct
route across the isthmus and ave sew
eral thousand miles OF travel. Of
course the government refused their
request. 1 see the California people are
discussing the difficulty of identifying
Chinese laborers by the form Of certif-
cate" said your correspondent.
"That is of but little Importance
replied Senator Miller. "Only one
Chinaman can come in on a certificate,
and it Is not Of much Importance
whether the same nan returns or a new
one comes back"

ent Thompson, Of the railway mail
service, returned a day or two since
from the west, where he had been at
the request OF the postmaster general,
to try to make arrangements with the
trunk lines west of Chicago for a fast
mail train which should lessen the
time between New York and San Fran
cisco by t~wenty-nine hours, as the mail
trains now average the running time
between New York aud Chicago is
some t~hirty-fiye miles per hour, be-
tween Chicago and Council Bluffs
twenty-nine miles per hour, between
Council Bluffs and Omaha nineteen
and a half miles per hour, and between
Omaha and San Francisco twenty and
a half miles per hour. Mr.. Thompson
laid before each of the three roads run
ning.out of Chicago. viz: The Chicago
B. & G., the e. r. & z. and the North
Western requests for propositions for
such mail train, it being proposed to
mako up the entire twenty-nine hours
between New York and Omaha, the
regular trains on the Pacific road TO
take the mails beyond that point.
Yesterday the superintendent receiv-
ed a letter signed by the general mana
ger Of each of the roads mentioned,
saying, that having investigated the
powers of the department in the matter
they feared it impossible to accept any
proposition which the department could
make, as no such train as that proposed
could be put upon either of these roads
without serious %pecuniary loss, the
three roads mentioned having pooled
their passenger traffic, of course could
not be induced to run against one
another and the departments PROPOSE
lions were blocked at the fret step by
this communication.
The department has determined upon
not yet ready to make it public.

Chicago, June 2S.-W. B. Thompson,
superintendent United States mail SER
vice, has te~legraphed the manager of
the Lake Shore road here to PROCEED
with the preparations for a fast mail
train between New York and Chicago.
The inference is that he has completed
negotiations with the Union Pacific for
a fast train between Omaha and San
Francisco, which have been progressing
for ONE time. There will be no change
in the schedule between Chicago and
Omaha, but it is believed that nearly a
day can be saved on the remainder Of
the route,

Chicago, June 2S.-The Illinois river
is out Of its banks, and bottom farm
ing for this year is impossible. The
railroads generally have suffered much
less. No serious mishaps have &C.
CURED to tracks, on account of the
careftihess of the management. The
telegraph wires are twisted, torn and
grounded in every direction in Nebras-
ka. The storm travelled three hundred
miles in six hours, being from North
Platte to Omaha.
Yesterday an angry, black cloud
and a hot, dark atmosphere scared the
people of Atchison, Kansas; but al
thoughta dangerous cloud formed over
the city, only a few of the ordinary
casualties to roofs and fences resulted.
Part of the storm struck Kirwin, and
carried away churches, barns and resi-
dences.
At Talmagc, Marysville, Avoca and
other places the storm wrought de-
struction. Three men were killed at
Talmage. Crops were levelled in the
direction of st. Joe. The depot was
unroofed, and at Lsthrop a house was
RACED to the ground. The damage to
crops in Nebraska amounts, according
to different estimates, from 800, 900 to
$4,000. The loss in Omaha is esti-
mated at 100000, and the loss about
Genoa, Illinois, is about $4,000. The
great bulk of losses seem to have been
among farmers, and are very slow in
coming to light.

Santa Fe, New Mexico, June 81
The following correct account of the
trouble already telegraphed you at the
MescaleCo agency has been received.
For a month past about dozen hostiles
of Nana's band have been hanging
about the reservation endeavouring to
incite the Mescaleros to go on a raid.
They had also stolen about fifty head of
horses and cattle. Agent Llewellyn
discovered their camp and with the
Indian police went to arrest them. He
captured the camp after a fight in which
one of the hostiles was killed. Four
were captured and the rest escaped.
Agent Llewellyn was wounded twice,
but not seriously. Colonel Crofton,
with four companies of cavalry, reach

WARRINGTON NOTES.

Washington, June 2S.IConirmations

The colored journalists of the United
States met in convention Tuesday and
were addressed by Frederick Douglass.
1t is rumored in republican sircles
that the President may soon take some
step r%eassuring to office-holders alarmed
by the Curtis circular. Just what this
will be is not known. Hubbell's reply
is being prepared and will, it is under
stood, be very incisiye.
The Washington Star says that DR..
Hicks, of the Tabernacle church, Sun
day after asking prayers of his people
for Guiteau, entered a solemn pro-
test against the blood thirsty, vindic-
tive, fiendish spirit that possesses most
of the people. 1t was murder under
protection of the law.
Congressman Randall and a number
of others left Monday night for the
Harrisburg democratic convention.
Much anxiety is felt regarding the re-
suit. The general impression is that
while n respectable democrat is liable
to be struck by gubernatorial lightning,
Hopkins is probably in the lead, with
Patterson second and Cox in excellent
position as the dark horse.
The house committee on elections de-
| cides to give the seat now occupied by
Tilman, Of South Carlonia, to Smalls,
the contestant. In the Alabama case
| of Strobach against Herbert, the ON
test was dismissed, with leave TO Stro-
back to withdraw the papers without
prejudice, In the other Alabama case,
of Smith against Shelly, it is recon-
mended that the seat be declared va
cant.
A good deal Of uneasiness is felt by
Mrs. Scoville's friends regarding her
presence here. She is very exciteable
and difficult to control, and while hen
brother insists that she is perfectly
sane there is no doubt she is nearol
crazy than Guiteau aud liable 10 dc
something desperate before the week
ends. One man expressed his belief
this morning that she was liable u

refusal to grant her brother a respite.

that might be the means Of educating
the people up to his theory Of inspira-
ton. But if it could not be done he
would rather hang; the sooner the
better.
His last admonition to DR.. Hicks in
regard to seeing the president was in
the following words: $50 no more;
the matter is now between him (the
~president) and God. Let him act, IS
he must give an account. He is re.
sponsible to God"
The president replying to John w.
Guiteau said he sympathized with him
in his present afiiction, and that he
would give to the papers submitted his
careful attention. He did not, however,
hold out to Guiteau any encouragement
to hope for executive interference in
his brothers. behalf.

finding all quiet sent one company on
the trail, returning with the other to
Fort Stanton. Your correspondent
called on General Mackenzie, who
stated that Llewellyn was a good agent
and had the Indians under good ION
troll, but as the rations had given out
and congress had SO far made no appro-
priations he had ordered the issue of
fifteen thousand rations monthly to The
Mescaleros as it was much cheaper to
feed them than to Eight and starve
them.
Later news just brought by Major
Fountain of the First regiment militia,
who had been sent by Governor Shell
don to Tularosa with orders to take the
field if necessary, is TO the effect that
three hostile Indians were killed in the
fight and that Lieutenant Wood and a
company of cavalry and some Indian
scouts are now on the trail of the seven
hostiles that escaped, with fair chances
of capturing them.

Washington, June 2S.-John W.
Guiteau, the assassin's brother, had an
interview with the president Tuesday
afternoon. He was accompanied by
Rev. DR.. Hicks, by special invitation
of the president. Gulteau submitted a
synopsis of the pamphlet he has as tend

and also the pamphlet. He made an
earnest appeal in behalf of his brother,
and urged the president to give oppor-

proposed by DR.. Beard, before it was
too late. He was confident a proper
medical examination would show that
his brother was utterly irresponsible for
his acts. He deplored his brothers.

Mysteriousiy Missing ships.

What becomes OF our mlsslDgs ships?
Time after time we learn that Board OF
Trade courts find it impossible to answer
this question. Many vessels that leave
our ports apparently IN most seaworthy
condition are never more seen or heard
of, and no amount OF inquiry serves to
throw any light on the cause OF their
disappearance. Like the Hermes whose
loss formed the subject of an investiga-
ton at Greenock, Scotland they may
start with every prospect of a fair and
prosperous voyage, with what is thought
to be safe Ca ~, properly slowed and
under the charge of captain anu crew
equal to any emergency. And yet with
all these advantages, the lamentable
fact remains that many share the fate OF
the Hermes, simply vanishing, and so
helping to increase the melancholy
record of missing ships. A valuable
abstract which has just been prepared
OF the returns issued by the Bureau
Veritas brings out some interesting
statistics connected with this record. 1t
shows that the total number Of sailing
vessels and steamers lost throughout
the world during the last two years
reaches some three thousand and five
hundred, and that of these some three
hundred were reported as missing. OF
all the maritime disasters, therefore
that occur, it is found impossible to
account with any degree OF accuracy,
for at least one-tenth of them. Guesses
on the subject may of course be made.
There is always the chance OF collision
to be taken into consideration, OK OF
some flaw in the constructure OF the
machinery which, though it escapes the
vigilance of the surveyors. may unfit the
ship to meet the usual perils OF the deep.
There is also the probability that some
OF the vessels may have been able to
sneak away in all improper condition
perhaps overloaded with an insufficiency
of freeboard.
