SMUGGLING THE LEPERS.

4 Complete Organization at Victoria
for tho Purpose of H unning China

and $50 the Prices Paid.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept 1s.-The Custom
House officials state that a few days ago
about forty or more Cinnamon landed at
Ultsalady, Washington Territory, from Brit
ish Columbia. The Celestials had managed
to smuggle themselves across the boundary
in violation to the restriction laws. The
statement is made on good authority that
there exists complete organization at Vic
toria for the purpose Of running Cinnamon
across the border. The masters Of various
steamers plying along the Sound report that
many Cinnamon are passing up in spite OF
the vigilance of the officials. The captain on
one steamer has been privately offered $50
each for women and $40 each for
men for landing them surreptitiously on
American soil. 1t is reported Shat about
thirty Chinese women were smuggled over a
few days ago and landed at Port Gamble. The
women are invariably imported for immoral
purposes and high sums are paid for them.

Testing a wire's Affection.

FORT GAINES, Ga, Sept. 1S.-There is a
colored man here named West Gordon who
has been jealous of his wife. Their quarrels
were numerous which the injured husband
determined to end by trick that nearly
proved fatal. He got the clothes line and,
throwing it over one Of the nfters in his
cabin, fixed it, as he supposed long enough
to let him stand on the floor while he was try
ing to make hissvife think he had committed
suicide. When he slipped the moose around
his neck and stepped off the chair he found to
his horror that the rope was just enough too
short to make it uncomfortable. He groaned
SO pitifully that it awoke his wife, who came
rushing out exclaiming, as she saw his posi-
ten: "You old fool, Use most mind to let
you stay dar." She procured the scissors
snd cut him down, when he fell to the floor
almost choked to death He says he will
never test her affection that way again.

Sat Down Upon.
New YORK, Sept. lS-Hungry Joe. the
notorious bunko steerer took advantage of
Captain Williams supposed absence from
town on a vacation to ply his trade to-day in
the redoubtable Captains preonct. His pals
had just engaged a bsnevolent looking coun-
tryman in conversation when Captain VIII.
liams walked into Madison Square and spied
Joe, who was watching the movements of
his confederates The stalwart officer fastened
the fingers OF his fight hand upon Joe's ear
and raised him off the bench with an angry
jerk. Then he scowled steadily and recalled
to the trembling captive the thrashing admin
istered to him when he tried to bounce the
Captains brother.

Joe's ear, that I'd smash the life out of you
the next time l saw you"
AS he said this, one Of the Captains Oxford
ties rose upward with energy and his brawny
fist went out Both struck the bunkoman re-
soundingly. His new derby flew Off and hs
himself few forward against post
"Now," shouted the Captain, letting Jo.
run, ''if you come into this precinct again I'll
kick you full OF holes"
The tragedy lasted about five minutes and
had about sixty astonished spectators. The
most astonished of the lot was the benevolent
gentleman.

Lo, THE POOR INDIAN.
According TO Rest Accounts He's Al
ways Starving.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 1S.-Advices from
Lake Temiscamingue give deplorable ac-
count of the condition Of remnant Of the
a!gonquis Indians in that region. The money
granted by the Dominion Government to re-
lieve these Indians is wasted between the
Hudson Bay Company and middlenen, while
the Indians are left to starve No less than
thirteen Of these unhappy creatures were last
year allowed to die of hunger and cold at the
very threshold Of Long Point Fort, situated
On Quincy Lake, and many got through the
winter by eating refuse from the lumber
camps aud picking up flour and other pro
visions dropped from the supply sleighs
The Government reports concerning the
condition of the Indians on Lake
Temiscomingue Reserve are said to be manu-
factured from hearsay, as the condition Of the
Indians is the very reverse Of what is repre-
sented This state Of affairs is attributed to
the action Of the Government in appointing
the Hudson Bay officials to distribute among
the Indians the annual supplies intrusted to
their care, and it is believed from what has
been frequently witnessed Of the arrogant and
avaricious disposition manifested by this cor
poration towards the poor Indians that the
position of Indian Agent is used merely as a
lever to promote their own aegrandizement.

Long Law suit.
PETERSBURG, Va, Sept 1S.-While Police
Officer William Schanck was sitting at homt
with bis wife he suddenly was taken with
violent nausea; he had feeling also Of some
thing crawling up into his throat Retchine
ensued and an almost choking sensation en-
sued. Schanck put his hand into his mouth,
and, aided by his wife, pulled out what
proved to be a lizard shaped body. 1t was in
animate, but an incision in the head showed
life had been there. The thing was fourteen
inches long and two inches In diameter The
head, which was shaped like a greyhounds,
was three-eighths Of an inch In diameter, and
the body was cartilagenous. 1t is supposed
that Schanck swallowed the embryo Of the
animal while drinking water. The mon.
strosity was thrown out into the yard and
soon began to decompose, when
two friends Of Schanck's obtained it and pre-
sented it to DR.. John B. Hartwell, hom1.
pathic physician Of this place, who placed it
in alcohol to preserve it as a curiosity This
morning Dr. Schanck, the officers brother,
made a claim upon DR.. Hartwen for the sur
render Of the "what Is it." and was told that
upon the payment Of a sum to reimburse the
latter for his trouble he could have it. This
DR.. Schenck refused, but brought suit before
a Magistrate against DR.. Hartwen for un-
lawful detention of property and obtained
judgment. The case was appealed and will
go to the Hastings Court

COMPROMISE PROPOSED.
Basis on which the Molders VIII
End the Strike.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1S-The sto ge molders
of this city have made proposition to the
stove manufacturers to meet the latter half
way in the matter Of scale; that is, to go to
work, at 1871 per cent. on the board price
This is the basis on which the Quincy, Illinois,
molders and manufacturers settled last week,
and is better proposition than the manu-
facturers asked earlier in the season. This
was done by the molders to allay the excite
ment and apprehension Of labor disturbances,
which apparently exist in the city at present,
ON account Of recent troubles, and to demon
strate that they are willing and ready to act
in fair and conservative manner. The
manufacturers have given notice Of their in.
tention to treat with the moldeIs on this basis
and the latter think they are not likely to ac-
cept the proposition, as disorganization and
not reduction is their chief aim.
