but despite the willingness of Deves,
Minister of Justice, the answer of the
House amid great uproar, was to order
the inquiry indefinitely postponed. The
Minister of Marine, Divers, formally in
formed the President of the Chamber

The British national debt averages an
annual reduction of $15, 200, eco, and has
for twenty five years past. Its present
amount is $685., 100000. At the pres
ent rate of reduction, therefore, two
hundred and fifty years will be required
to effect its entire extinguishment, a
time so remote as to make it seem that
the debt is perpetual. With continued
peace and prosperity. however, it is not
impossible or improbable that a more
rapid reduction will be entered upon,
and the whole amount paid in perhaps
a half century.

saws the Diamond Match Company has

interesting facts are that one gross OF

can be made for sixty cents per gross,
but the monopoly will not make cheap

CHINESE MURDERED
And Their Cabins Burned by Whi
Men.

And Their Cabins Burned by White
Men. -
VICTORIA B. O., May 17.-Accounts from
Mainland state that the conduct of the men
who attacked the Chinese was cowardly and
brutal. The white men who had an alteration
with the Chinese beat them off with pickhandles.
At night when the Chinese were in bed the
camp was attacked by crowd of white men
armed with clubs. They struck down the Chi
neae as they rushed out of tbeif cabins in the
dark. Nine were left on the ground for dead.
The mob set fire to the houses and decamped.
As the white men left some of the Chinese has
tened back to the camp and tried to put out the
fires, but there being no water everything was
burned up. Yee. Fook died in the morning.
The Cinnamon sent to Lyton for wagons to
bring the murdered and wounded men to town,
there being no white doctor willing to assist the
Chine~e. The Chinese doctor from Yale says
three more of the wounded will die. Nine of
the Chinese had frightful wounds about their
heads, in one case the brains oczing ont. The
coroner found it impossible to procure medi-
ca! examination of the murdered men.

No Rest for the Hog.

BERLIN, May 16.-The North German Gazette
attempts to prove by statistics that the danger
of contracting trichina from American pork is
sixty times greater than it is from German pork
and refers to the latest reports of the sanitary
officers at Chicago, Erie and Boston, and publi-
cations in the New York medical j'urnals to
prove the correctness of the statements. The
Gazette declares the inspection of pork on ar
rival at German ports proved useless. It says
that the quantity of American pork consumed
in Germany is small and is decreasing, and that
the question therefore is not of economic i'm
