enemy was mainly composed of Chinese
armed with Remington rifles General Bouet
commanded the left column of French
troops 1t is believed the enemy's loss was
small. The French doctors complain of

The number of gunboats is also inadequate.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
The Party Hunting and Fishing-Approach-
ing Yellowstone Park.

CAMP HAMPTON, on Snake River, Aug 90
The President and party reached this
camp, after travelling about eighteen miles
along tine foothills between the Shoshone
and Teton mountains. The camp is named
in honor of Senator Wade Hampton, who
was expected to accompany the party. Its
location is grand, on the bluff on Snake
river, and facing the entire range OF the
Teton mountains. Judge Rollins shot and
brought in his first antelope. All kinds of
game abound at this camp. Nearly all the
party are engaged iu angling for trout The
President and Senator Vest outstrpped the
rest of the party, and are vieing for
the supremacy. Each landed two.and-a-
half-pound trout from the bluff facing the
camp, witnessed by the entire command.
Their catch for the day is much larger than
any day during the trip. AT our last camp
the temper of the entire party was severely
tried by the extremes of the weather-hot
weather in the middle of the day, and a Sc
we're gale of Chinook winds throughout the
night accompanied with binding clouds of
dust. Ice formed an inch thick on the water
buckets before the tents before morning to-
day. The weather is clear and bracing, and
all of the party are in excellent health and
spirits. To-morrow's march will take us to
the southern boundary of Yellowstone Park.

NAMES OF PENSIONERS.

Correcting Some Absurd Statements Con-
cerning the Proposed Publication.
Washington Special
The Pension Office is preparing for publi-
cation a complete list of all pensioners, and
somebody started the story that there was
great unwillingness to have all these ad-
dresses fall into the hands of pension agents,
and therefore it was represented that the
Commissioner was going to take extraordi-
nary pains to keep the volumes in dungeons
and other places where the unofficial eye
could never penetrate. The story was alb
surd, because the publication was ordered by
Congress for the express purpose of letting
everybody know who the pensioners are,
with the view of exposing fraudulent cases.
Nineteen hundred copies were ordered by
Congress- ard Commissioner Dudley promi-
ses to give the publication the widest circula-
ton he can. He expects that second and
much larger edition will be ordered by
the coming Congress. 1t is expected
that the first edition will be ready
for distribution by the 1st of Decem-
ber. The Commissioner anticipates that the
publication will make great increase in the
work of the office, because it will bring thou
sands of letters from every part of the coun-
try protesting against the granting of pen
sions to persons named. Many of these will
be founded on ignorance. A man may
have a wound of a serious character that
amply entities him to pension that his ac-
quaintance may know nothing about BY
way of dscounting objections of this char
acter, the list in consequence of suggestion
by the Commissioner will state the ground
Tor which each pension is granted, except
where such statement would be embarrass-
ing to the pensioner on account of the ma
ture of the wound. Most of the protests
against the pensions that the publication of
the list will bring in will be purely mali
cious. All objections that seem to be re-
spectacle will be investigated, and brief of
every case is now being prepared so that at
the shortest notice all the reasons for which
any pensions were granted may be at once
found and reported 20 any person authorized
to know

Raper and St. Bernard.

Special to Chicago Tribune.
The Chicago Templars were somewhat sur
prised to-day to learn through the columns
of the local press that friendly contest be-
tween the several competitive drill corps
was to have occurred at Merchants Pavilion
last night. AS matter of fact, St. Bernard
Commandery having been so fraternally
greeted by the Sir Knights of the Pacific
coast, the old feeling of years of jealousy
which so strongly characterized the meeting
of Raper and st. Bernard com:nanderies, and
in the friendly contest at indianapolis last
June, has taken this form of expression. The
st. Bernard drill corps did, at a late hour,
learn that their band was invited by the
Grand Commandery of Illinois to discourse a
selection OF music and that Raper Com
mandery No l. of indianapolis, was to give
a parade drill during the evening at the pa
vilion, but they did not understand that the
Chicago commandery was even expected to
be present, much less to give any display
drill. The current opinion is that this ma
neuvre on the part of Raper was for effect,
showing as they believed, their own will
ingness and ST. Bernard's unwillingness to
engage in any drill before the competitive
drill on Saturday next.

A MEDDLEsOME PAPER.
The Effect of the North German Ciazette's Re-
cent Articles on French Af.irs


cent Articles on French Affairs
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Times, commenting
on the Berlin North German Gazette's article
referring to the attacks of French Journals
on Germany and declaring that Fraace alone
threatens the peace of Europe, says the ir-
ritation shown by the latter paper cannot be
explained by the reason assigned, as the
French press, upon the whole, has been very
moderate in regard to Germany. The article
was rather an expression of general impa-
tience at the conduct of the French, and
ought to convince them that their expedi-
tions in various parts of the world do not add
in the smallest degree to their influence in
Europe. The articles in the North German
Gazette startled Paris alarmed Europe, and
causes prices on the bourses OF Paris. Vienna
and Berlin to fall. The press everywhere ex-
press surprise at the Gazette's attack on
France, and wonder as to what its object is,
The French papers repel the charges con-
tanned in the article, and intimate that
France is better prepared now to say that
Bismarck is seeking pretext for n quarrel
or for the imposition of fresh army burdens
The Austrian press ask ii the article means
war. The English journals think the warn
ing was overdone and the cause for it iusuffi-
cent. 1t would not be wise they say, to
attach TOO much significance to the article.

nifty by a suit for Damages.
Special to the Indianapolis Journsa.
WASHINGTON, Aug. pa few days ago a
colored man prosecuted a keeper of a res
taurant for refusing to sell him dinner,
and the court fined the defendant for viola
ton of the civil-rights bill. The prosecuting
witness claimed to be from Norwich, Conn,
but it is now known that he is a native and
resident of the State of North Carolina.
Emboldened by the success of his prosecu-
ton for misdemeanor, he now threatens a
civil suit for damages against the restaur-
ateur, unless that individual compromises
by. paying the sum OF $3.50. To
avoid the expenses and annoyance
of litigation the restaurateur will
probably split the difference and
pay 500 for immunity from further pro-
ceedings. The better class of colored peo-
pie strongly condemn the action of this per-
son. They say he should have been satisfied
with the decision of the court in the misde-
meanor case, as that decision fully vindi-
Gated the principle of equal rights which
the civil-rights bill was designed to enforce.
The suit for pecuniary damages now threat
ened, they declare, will arouse public opin-
ion against the whole series of so-called re-
construction acts, and still further postpone
the period when the perfect equality of the
two races before the law will be
recognized universally. They have taken
the pains to inquire into the antecedents of
this pretended Connecticut negro, and, as
has been stated, not only find that he was
born p slave and has always been resident
of North Carolina, but that he has been
making practice of proceeding against the
proprietors of public houses that have re-
fused him entertainment 1t is said that he
has been making his way for two or three
years by this method of dead beating, and
that he does not pursue violators of the law
upon principle, but for gain, and therefore is
doing the colored race incalculable injuries.
There is talk of publishing a card signed by
a number of the leading colored men of the
District denouncing his attempt to secure
damages.

The North Half of Rochester a Complete
Wreck-The Loss of Life.

The North Half of Rochester a Complete
Wreck-The Loss of Life.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Congressman Mark H.
Dunnell telegraphs the following graphic
picture of the Rochester disaster to the Daily
News:
The cyclone struck Rochester about $50
in the afternoon of Tuesday, lasted a min
ute and half, and largely spent its force on
the north half of the city. ALI the dwelling
houses but two on the north side of the
track, embracing an entire ward, were wholly
destroyed, and most of them blown into
atoms. On the same side one -four mill was
demolished, another unroofed and a large
foundry wholly demolished, a large elevator
unroofed, and the depot and adjoining
buildings wholly demolished. The destruc-
ton from the depot north was complete.
The bridge over the Zumbrota river near the
depot was destroyed.
The destruction On the south side of the
track was very great, but not so sweeping.
The court-houee and all the churches were
badly damaged, the Methodist Charch suffer-
ing most Not less than one hundred
buildings on the south side of the track
are more or less damaged. Tie destruc-
ton was mainly north of the Cook
House; that part suffering complete wreck.
IL was north of the depot and inhabited by
laboring people,
Darkness set in soon after, and the scene
was terrible. Twenty-Five dead bodies were
taken from the ruins, many of them parents
with children. Not less than $50 buildings
were wholly or partially ruined, and the loss
cannot be less than $500, 600 The loss OF life
is very great; twenty-five killed and four or
five died since. Some seventy are now
being cared for who were injured. OF those
now in the hospital fifty were terribly
cut and mangled by flying timbers and
pieces of wood The destruction to life and
property along the track of the cyclone is
very great. st. Paul sent $5, 000 Owatonna
will send 81 900, and other cities and towns
will send relief. The poor people of the city
are the greatest sufferers. Two persons were
killed near Kasson Cattle in large numbers
were killed, and grain in staci; and shock
was taken somewhere, not leaving straw

The Kingdom of Annam.

Tonquin forms, with Annamite Cochin
China, the kingdom of AMMAN, whose capital
is Hue. The northern part is by far the
more important. The area of the kingdom is
n little more than half that of France Its
former limits have been greatly reduced by
the cessiOn of six provinces to the French
and the establishment OF the kingdom of
Cambodia as an Independent monarchy. Iii
the north are Hanoi and Namdlnh, where
French garrisons have been established. In
the south is Hue, the capital. which the
French expect to lombard. BY this move
the French hope to terrorize the black flags
who are stationed along the Red river delta
in the north. and thus leave the forces at
Hanoi and Namdinh free for an active cam
paign.

DoDeE CENTER, Mimi, Aug. 23-Crops in
the path of the cyclone, two miles south of
here, were all destroyed, and heavy damage
done to buildings. H. Elbrecht and wife
were working in field when they saw the
storm, and clung to each other when it hit
them. He was knocked senseless and she
was blown to a considerable distance. She
was found this morning in horribly mutt

other nearly so. A number of other persons
were less badly injured.
