AIIack Upon u. -. Consulate AT
Monterey.

DR.. Campbell, American cousul at
Monterey. Mexico, went to Laredo, lcav-
ing the consulate in charge of Rev. Mr..
Shaw. ON Monday night the office
was entered by mob of MeXicans
and Mr.. Shaw was attacked and beat
en- almost to death. The furniture
and papers belonging to the consul
were destroyed. Mr.. Shaw, after be
ing beaten scnscless, revived suf1i-
cicntly to crawl to one of the public
hotels and give an account of the out
rage. but in few moments became
again imScnsiblc. and at last accounts
was still unconscious. The insult is
such Il bold one that the American
government must take measures to
resent it, if it shall cause rupture
between the two governments. The
American government has been slow,
in the past, to resent and punish of
fences against its citizens and its flag,
but action in such case as this
should bc immediate and summary.

Probable strike Of Telegraph
PrS.

The long-talked- rumors of a gen
eral strike of all the telegraphers be
longing to the brotherhood of the
Western Union has assumed definite
shape, and unless their demands were
complied with they were all to quit
work last evening. They ask an in
crease of fifteen to twenty five per cent
in salaries, that the hours for day-wOrk
shall he eight and for night-work seven.
that extra pay shall be given for Sun
day work. and that women shall be
paid as much as men for the same ser
vice. 1t is said that the Brotherhood
have been holding secret meetings in
Boston Tor year, and secret gather
ings have recently been held in other
cities of the country. The Western
Union company employs about $4,000
operators and it is claimed that some
10000 belong to the Brotherhood.
There has been but one great tele-
graphcrs' strike in this country. and
NiI'iN w hll JANUARY -. ICS' hdllIOdu
operators were not included in the
league, and many of these were pressed
into commercial work. Others were
brought from Canada, and yet others
came from the Atlantic and Pacific and
other rival companies. Superintend-
ents worked day and night, and of
course many unemployed and more or
less nnSklltul men were picked up.
The wires became clogged, but still
the business was managed somehow,
and at the end of 30 days the strikers
surrendered on the company's terms.
The telegraphers as class are hard
worked, and probably their pay is not
commensurate with their ability and
responsibility. \ general strike will
cause great Inconvenience and loss in
the commercial and social world.

The EIIIIIle.

One of the most interesting features
of a trip to the mountains has COM
prised visit to the Flume, where the
huge boulder has been suspended.
wedgcd in between the rocky walls
Whatever may he thought of the COM
parative interest attaching to this
point before the fall of the boulder and
the present time, there will be great
desire 10 see the place where it was
lodged for 50 long time. the enlarge
ment of the Flumc and the work of
destruction along its sides. and the
present restingplace of the boulder.
The suspended rock is gone forever,
and one of the marvellous sights of the
mountains has passed away with it.
1t is said that the scenery in the Flune
is more picturesque than it was before
While this may be true, it does not
seem that any amount of scenery can
supply the void made by the fall OF
the rock.
The fall occurred on June 30. One
of the heaviest rains known in the
mountains took place, accompanied by
heavy thunder and sharp lightning.
During the heaviest of the shower, a
thunderbolt, that Jared the country

The Trade Dollar.

The trade dollar, which is regarded
with such disfavor at present, made
its first appearance in 1873, and was
then valued ut something over Sl.03.
1t was originally coined not for circula-
ton in this country, but for eXpOrta-
ton to China. That empire possesses
no mint for the coinage of gold or
silver, and depends upon foreign
coins for its domestic circula-
ton. and until the institution of the
trade dollar the principal shipments
of coin to China were in the form of
Mexican trade dollars. 1t was designed
to compete with the Mexican dollar,
and for that purpose was made a trifie
more valuable, about two mills per
piece. 1t therefore not only afforded
Il market for the surplus silver of the
mines on the Pacific coast. but furnished
merchants and importers from China
with silver in convenient form for
payment for commodities instead of
their being obliged to purchase MeXi-
can dollars for that purpose. In 1876
the coin was worth only little more
than eighty cents, and is now valued
at about eighty-seven cents. In 1876
the legal tender qualities of the trade
dollar were removed by congress, which
also restricted coinage to the actual ex-
port demand. 1t is a mistake to sup
pose that the trade dollar is govern
ment coin. Under the act which au-
thorized the coinage of trade dollars,
these pieces were struck off for depOsi-
tors of silver bullion at the mints, aud
Il charge imposed for coinage at a rate
not to exceed the actual cost to the
government of manufacture. By this
act any owner of silver bullion could
have the same coined into trade dollars.
They therefore were not issued or paid
out by the government i'll payment of
obligations or exchange for other mon
ev. The government has endeavOred
to keep the trade dollar in its lawful
and proper channel, and from ignOr-
ance of the law relative to this coin
people have taken them in ordinary
business transactions when they could
have been lawfully refused.-[ Berk

snow has not yet entirely disappeared,
but vestiges of it remain to form a
marked constast to the warm tempera-
ture at the base of the mountain. 1t
is said that it may now be found in the
ravines to a depth of some fifty feet.
The day was not very favorable, and
the view on the Glen house side was
entirely INSTRUCTED. As an indication
that prices as well as clouds have a
tendency to run lower, the price OF
board at the Summit house has been
reduced from six to five dollars a day.
