The Butte Anti Chinese Meeting.
Last Wednesday night one of the
created labor demonstrations ever held
in the West took place in Butte, Montana,
under the auspices of the Knights of
Labor. Hugh bonfires were kindled in
the court house yard, lighting up the
street for blocks in every direction. Then
the crowd commenced to gather from all
directions-principally men, but there
were also good many ladies present,
who doubtless felt an absorbing interest
in settlement of the question as to how
the Chinese were to be made go without
leaving them (the ladies' to do their own
washing, cooking and housework.
Further back from the street several
roofs were ascertained to be occupied by
Chinese spectators, who Notwithstanding
their evident fear, seemed determined to
learn the worst at the earliest moment.
In some cases these persons were at
tracted for purely individual reasons, but
il is known that the Chinese were
organized, fearing violence, and that
their spies were not out of hearing of the
speakers voices and the inarticulate
murmur which at such gatherings as
this evidence the mood of the crowd.
The following resolutions were passed
Resolyed, While the Knights Of Labor
determine to rid Butte OF the Chinese
if such desirable result can be accom-
plished by lawful means - they are
emphatically opposed to violent measures,
and stand ready to aid the authorities in
suppressing any overt means which
might possibly be resorted to by UNI
organized enthusiasts.
Resolved, That we consider it fit and
proper to form in this city an anti.
Chinese league in the belief that such can
be done without conflicting with the laws
of our country. Further,
Resolved, That the evil intended to he
remedied is great, and calls for united
action, fully confident that moral suasior
is all that is necessary to accomplish oul
purpose. Our object is to discourage in
any shape whatever the employment OF
Chinese, and we pledge our honor that
we will not employ or patronize directly
nor will we knowingly patronize directly
or indirectly any person who does EN-.
ploy or patronize them.
These resolutions were adopted UNI
animously.

Drowned in Snake River.

We learn from Mr.. Harvey, just in from
Snake River, that Thomas Briggs, fore
man, working for Mike Hyde, was
drowned in Snake River Saturday after
noon, about half mile below Dorsey's
ferry. 1t seems that they had been swim
ming some cattle across the river and
Biggs rode in after fractions steer that
had reached small bar and refused to go
farther. After getting the animal on its
way he took Il direct route for the shore,
instead of returning the way he came.
His horse struck swimming water, became
manageable, and it is supposed struck
Bigge in some way, disabling him. At
any rate he sank from sight and was
drowned. His friends instituted search
for his body, but up to the time that our
informant left, on Sunday, it had not
been recovered.-Boise Statesman, 2Sth

The Deepest Mine in Wood River.

During the past day or two the face OF
the prospecting drift or tunnel, on the
fifth or lowest present level of the Parker
mine, has shown very favorable indica-
tons. Bunches and spots of galena have
been encountered, and the formation has
shown "kindly" or mineralized appear
ance which is accepted as an indication
of the proximity of an ore-body. This is
most encouraging, as the fifth level is
opened at depth of between 700 and 800
feet, and is thus the greatest depth yet
attained in any Wood River mine.

OPPOSITION TO SILVER COINAGE.

The New York Board of Trade and
Transportation is endeavoring to make
it appear that the majority of the bust
ness men of the country are opposed to
continuing the coinage of silver. A
committee appointed by the Board
stated that they had addressed circu.
lars to merchants, manufacturers, bank
ers, farmers, planters and professional
men throughout the country, request
ing opinions as to the advisability of
continuing the compulsory coinage of
the standard dollar, and that SS5 re.
plies had been received from points out
side of New York city. OF these I'll
favored the immediate repeal or sus.
pension of the Bland law, a small por-
ton of them only favoring suspension
of the act. One hundred and thirty.six
favored continuing the coinage Of silver,
and 3S were undecided in their We've.
Five of the responses from California
favored continued coinage and eight
favored repeal of the law. No replies
were received from Nevada and Oregon.
The committee take it for granted from
the replies received that a majority
throughout the entire length and
breadth of the country are dissatisfied
with the present silver coinage law, and
demand its immediate repeal
Now, if the circulars had been ad.
dressed, as stated, to persons in various
occupations in all parts of the Union,
so that the replies would fairly repre-.
sent public sentiment, this would indi.
cate that the people are opposed to the
further coinage of silver. As it is,
every banker in, the country was adj
dressed on the subject, and as their
views are we'll known it was q useless
expenditure OF time and postage to ask
their opinions. The fact that nearly all
the members of Congress west of the
Ohio and south to the Gulf are in favor
of silver indicates much more clearly
than the test Of the Board of Trade and
Transportation of New York what the
public feeling is on the coinage ques.
tiou, and while there are few even in
the silver producing States and Terri
tories who favor change in the coinage
laws, ninety-nine per cent. of the
people west of the Mississippi believe
In the Bland law, and a majority of
them favor the free coinage of silver.

The term of General Logan as United
States Senator from Illinois expired on
the Sd of March last. The Legislature
OF Illinois, which was to elect his sue
cessor, was evenly divided politically.
and it was not known who might be
elected to succeed him. Meantime a
special session of the United States
Senate was held and the committees
were appointed. Sewell of New Jersey
was given Logan's old place, the chair
manship of the Committee on Military
Affairs. Logan, however, was re-
elected Senator from Illinois, the death
OF two Democrats having broken the tie
in the Illinois Legislature, and when
Congress convened week ago he was
chosen President pro tenn. of the Sen.
ate, death again having given him an
opportunity to take the Office to which
the living would not elect him. He
declined the position with thanks, on
the ground that it was not to his taste,
and added to his popularity by doing
so. As all the important committees
had been filled at the special session
there was no place for Logan. As he is
energetic and likes to make speeches,
something had to be done to give him
opportunity to do SO. This something
was accomplished in a caucus of Repub-
lcsn Senators, which made arrange
ments to get Sewell off the Military
Committee and give Logan his old
place, which is to his liking.

that Brown paid higher wages and fed
his men better than was necessary.
Quarrels ensued; Benson refused to d.
vide with Brown; the latter brought
suit ard obtained judgment for 5000
less than one half what he claimed
against Benson. The change Of Admin
istration caused suits to be entered
against surveyors to recover unearned
or Incorporated money, and Benson,
who was in the ring, made an assign
ment which put his estate beyond the
reach of the Government, and he re-
fused to pay Brown. This so ex-
asperated the latter that he shot Benson
and then ended his own existence.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. November 21.--
Officers Henry DOnnelly and Thomas A.

about three O'Clock this morning at the cor
ner of State Line street and Sixth, and be-
fore more than half dozen of the all-night
frequenters of that locality were aware that
any serious trouble existed five or six
pistol shots rang out, and the people who
ran to the place as soon as the firing ceased
saw a man reel into the street, stagger up
on the side walk and fall helpless. He was
found to be Officer Thomas A. Mcdonald,
one of the older policemen OH the Kansas

who had shot him ran into the saloon

D0nnelly, and he is also one of the Old
of the police force over the line.
1t was 3:25 when the shOOtin. occurred.
Mcdonald was taken into Kelly IL Nc
Graws saloon, and in fifteen minutes
he WIS dead. On close examination
it was found that the dead man had been
struck four times. One ball entered the
abdomen, five inches to the left of
The navel; another just grazed the
left side; third went through the left
side of The neck, and the one which prob
