SAN FRANclsCo, Sept. 24.-A Chron- | icle special from London by cable says | that the Emperor of Rnssla's famous ride through the streets of Moscow or | the occasion of the coronation was e | sham; that he was ImpersOnated by aI l officer of She imperial guard made up to resemble him. The fears for his safety by the secret police were too much for him and he consented to the deception.
 The secret Is said to have been discover
 ed by officers attached to the British en-
 bassy who have not wholly maIntaint q
 the silence enjoined upon them.
 SAN FRANCIsCo, Sept. 25.-Judge
 Fields interpretation of the Chinese
 restriction act and decision rendered
 yesterday Is fsvorably received, and
 commented upon by all the morning
 papers.
 telegram received late last night
 from Oakland announces the death of
 s. S. Montague, Chief Engineer of the
 Central and Southern Pacific Railroads.
 He died near Shasta, in camp at the end
 of the track of the California and Ore gOn road, now In course of construction The deceased was comparatively yOung man, only 46 years Of age. He leaves a wife and family living in Oakland, Cali fornIa. The probabilities are that l.. NJ Clements, who for some time past has been acting as Assistant Chief Engineer, will succeed to the position. Mir. Clem- ents IS acknowledged by railroad men to be one of the most competent engineers Tn the country.
 SAN FRANCIsCo, Sept. 2i. - Judge Field, of the |. :. Supreme Court, sit tingin banc with Judge Sawyer, rem dered decision to-day m respect to the rights claimed by Chinese born in Hong Kong landing in the United States. He rules that the fact of Chinaman being l born in Hong Kong does not constitute l hIm British subject. He euiarges on i the fact that Congress never intended to | disregard the requirements of treaty | with foreign government. An act of | congress, he says, must be constructed | according to its manifest intent,and must | be so enforced by courts or law in re- spect to the restriction act. No cOnsid- eratiOn was deemed necessary to the | position of other governments regarding | Chinese within their borders; it's object | was to exclude Chinese labOrers from | any part of the world. IL was known that Hong Kong would pour Chinese gbOrers into our country every year m ess covered by the restriction act. The lct declares ln the first section that on md after go days after the passage and Intil the expiration Of ten years the coming of Chinese labOrers to the United States, with put limitation of countries rom which they might come Is sus- pended. During such suspension it hall be unlawful for any Chinese lG- ,orer to come, or having come to re- main in the United States. The twelfth ! ectioh declares that any Chinese per on found unlawfully m the United States shall be removed therefrom, by | iirectiOn of the President, to the coun- " from whence he came; not necessa- fly to China, but to the country he came rom. He concluded that all provisions f the restriction act were conversant 7ith each other, and that the full pur- Ose of the law to exclude Chinese la- orers from the United States would be l efeated by any other construction.

THE Agent of the Associated press al San Francesca had better be a little more careful in making up his reports Recent! he sent out report from that place, that reads as follows: Three out, rages by desperadoes are reported from Tucson, Arizona. The telegrams state that the citizens fear to take measures against the perpetrators. The Cover nor will have to suppress them, the city authorities being powerless." The ont rages he referred to occurred at Clifton 8 mining camp over 200 miles from this place. Tucson is one of the most order. ly cities in the country. Roughs and thieves have but little show to ply theil rascality here, and they give us a wide berth. Even burglars and the common tramp avoid Tucson, knowing that il they come this way they will find steady employment in the chain gang.

THE NEW DISCOVERIES

IRE Quliotoa mines in the western part of Pima county. are destined to be.

 mountain, and the croppings, which in
 some places are forty or fifty feet hiph.
 form the backbone, as it were, and ex-
 tend along the cone of the ridge for e
 distance of over 5000 feet. The ledre.
 so We are informed, is continuous the entire distance, and samples from the
 cropplngs, which have been tested, assay
 from loo to 4,O00 ounces per ton. The
 ore IS free and can be successfully mill
 ed. Owing to the scarcity of water, but
 little development work has been done
 so Tar, but considerable money has been spent in building tramways and prepar- ing for working the mine. A small force of men are now at work on the mine, ex- trsctlDg ore from the side of the preci- plce 7Ofeet below the top pcroppingsIwhere ore IS found that will net several hun dred dollars per ton. The owners of the mine inform us that there are four feet of the rich ore, and that there are at least 40 feet of ore that will go 50 ounces and over to the ton. l; they are not mistaken in their estimates, the QuIIo- toa lode Is among the richest and most extensive that has eve been discovered Tn Arizona. But we should not be too sanguine as to its value; there has not yet been sufficient development work done to prove them to be mlnes, yet there IS sufficient ore in sight to | warrant the belief that they will turn out well. The peculiar formation has exposed the ledge to a depth of about lOO feet, therefore we may consider the | mine as prospected to that depth. The ore IS continuous from top to bottom, and so far as tested similar to the sur lace croppings. The rich ore is being sacked and will be shipped to Benson tor reduction, or brought to this place If the ssmpling works are up in time. But It IS the intention of the owners of the mines to ship all high grade ore to Tucson for reduction as soon as the works are completed, but If sufficient water can be found near the mines mill wlll be built there for the reduction of the lower grades of ore. These valuable discoveries are mostly owned by citizens of Tucson. Aaron Mason also IS largely interested in the mines, and as he Is also interested in the -ednction works going up at thi- place, t would not be strange if he should lee his influence to bring a large DOT ion of the ore to this place to be treat d.

As the day of election grows nearer in Ohio. the fight becomes warmer. The democrats are claiming the solid Ger man vote of Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo; if they should secure the German vote in the dis tricts above named, it will require hard work on the part of the republi- cans to overcome 1t. Both parties now claim theIr ability to elect a majority of the legisla' ture. The republicans are still ssnguine of their ability to elect Foraker Gov ernor, though not by so large @ majority as they claimed a few weeks ago. The contest will be @ spirited one, but tht hard fight will be centered on the cleo ton of the Legislature, as 1t will have the election of a Senator to succeed Pendleton.

 From the 7th level and up to the 1st which is IA feet below the surface, there Is the remarkable firm body of quartz and ore to be seen all the way; the solid side of which Is the main support of the mine. Much ore has been taken down in the various levels. leaving this stand ing, and 1t is full of wonderfully rich streaks and Jumps of mineral all along. Now let us calculate the quantity of ore m the breast of the mine alone. Sup posing 1t to be only 100 feet thick, It being estimated that 13 cubic feet form q ton; there is 600 feet in highth by 20O feet m length, in round numbers, mIi- lion tons, and how many more tons of ore are in sight? There were about II men at work on this shift actually min ing and some l6 labOrers and carmen; they were scarcely observable in the vast cavern. There is work for 1000 men, and POO stamps cannot crush the ore thus to be taken ont.
 Eureka.-From the same journal We learu that work on this mine has been suspended. On the upper level there IS a large body, a mass of quartz. The assays are running SSO, l S9O and Sl30. The distance from the | mine to the mIll is about fodr miles, | with a good wagon road for three miles. | The cost of transportation and mining | cannot be more than SS per ton. The | ore is very soft, is free milling ore, and | has been worked heretofore at from 80 | to 90 per cent by Wheeler, Doran and | others.

THE candidate for governor of Mas sachusetts on the republican ticket George D. Robinson, is an able and popular man, who will make a strong race. Mir Robinson was born at Lexing. ton, Mass, January 20, 1884, and graduated from Howard College in 1856, after which he held the position of principal of the Chicople high school until 1885, in the mean time preparing himself for the legal profession. being admitted to the bar in 1866. He was a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives in 1874 and of the Senate in 1876. He was elected to the forty fifth, fOrty-sixth, torty-seventh and tortp-eigth Congress from Eleventh district of Massachusetts, making an able and efficient member. He will carry the full strength of the party in his State, and will be very apt to do away with Buffers presidential aspirs- tions.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 2j.-The audience that filed the large hall of the Cooper building assembled thIs afternoon, at the call of the interest of democratic harmony of this city. Many prominent democrats are upon the platform David Dudley Field was nominated chairman, and enthusiastically received. Field said that the meeting had been called for the purpose of arranging about an harmonious action among the democrats of this city as existing dIssensiCn ID the ranks seriously endangered the success Of the party in the future. The repub- hean party had mismanuged the affairs of the nation as could be seen by ex- cessIve taxation, reckless and extravag- ant expenditure of public funds and en- crOachment, and especially in states where the republican party could be displaced as long as the democrats of this State were unIted. Chas. A. Dana, Joseph Pulitzer, editors Of the Sun and World, were among the list of vice presidents. Resolutions were presented by Congressman Potter, which called upon all democrats to lay aside differ ences and unite against the common enemy and denouncing all leaders and organizations who neglected to carry the resolution into effect. 4 cOmmitte was appointed to P-eseut resolutions to the State Convention to be held at Buffalo and urge upon the democratic masses the necessary of harmonious action.

On Monday night about midnight the 10th inst, Prof. Swift, director oi the Warner Observatory, Rochester, N r., discovered another comet Tn the same constellation with the one recently found by Prof. Brooks. It is moving al most directly toward the earth, and hence shows very little motion, so that Prof. Swift found it difficult to verify and was unable to do until last Sstur day night.
