THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.


LONDON, Oct THE French elections
continue to excite the greatest interest.
The general opinion is that the republic is
safe, and that the reaction is not a sign of
a change of Republican for Conservative
principles, but an indication of protest
against the Ferry policy in Tunis, Tonquin
and Madagascar, and proof only that the
French Democracy decline to be dragooned
by those Republicans lately in office. No
danger is to be apprehended from the con-
junction of the BOnapartes and Royalists.
The lesson taught by the elections is well
learned and will only place the republic
on IA surer foundation.
1t is n curious fact that the result of the
elections is not regarded in England as
nearly so serious as in France. The Re-
pubique Franchise says there is but one
remedy. The Union National saws the
result of fifteen years patient work has
been compromised in few hours. The
Standards correspondent is confident
there will be bloodshed in the streets
of Paris. NJ Henri Rocheforte's RENE
dy is to gullotine VI. Ferry. There
are other causes besides blundefs of for
egn policy, and especially the depression
of trade, which in England eXerts a dan
gerous political influence. The voters
only method of protesting, too, was by
voting the hostile lists.
Preparations in the Balkans.
LONDON, oct. I'm the Balkans great
preparations and great silence are the or
der of the day. Constantinope is shaken
by military activity. From Belgrade
comes the news that the last of the re-
serves have been called out and all mill
tary surgeons have gone to the frontier of
old Servla.
There is the greatest activity in the navy
yards at Salamis. The foreign correspond
ents believe that Prince Bismarck has not
yet made up his mind, but Russia, need
ing all her men and money for Asian
schemes, will cooperate fully with Ger
many, The powers are expected to sane
tion Bulgarian unity, but will authorize
Turkey to suppress any other attempt at
extension of territory.
Union of Bulgaria and Roumelia
PARIS, Oct. "A despatch from Philip
popolis says the Mayor has caused pacards
to be posted throughout the city announc-
ing the wishes of the foreign ambassador
to Turkey. The sultan has accepted the
union of Bulgaria and Roumelia under
the rules OF Prince Alexander,

"Six infantry companies at Rock

General Sohofeld was ON the spot
himself. In my opinion there is
only ono way to deal with the Of
tenders in this case, and that is by
martial law. The miners were i'm
ported directly from Europe by the
Union Pacific Railroad Company,
which fancied that by thus doing it
could develop the country more
rapidly. The company has lately
given them to understand that they
cannot dictate to it, and it is not, L
think, disposed to favor them at the
expense of the Chinese.

the mines all of the railways between
the Missouri river and the Rocky
mountains could be deprived of their

more serious one for the Govern
ment than even for the Union Paci-
fc, as the United States cannot get
their mails carried without coal.
Some sharp, decisive measures in
regard to these miners are necessary,
or it will be impossible to tell at
what moment they may not repeat
their recent outrages. No attorneys
life would be safe in that region
without an escort. They stone sol
diers who stragglc from the camp.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-

appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx

3d-Thc premiums on Tontine pO-
Icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.

time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine po-
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and

A LONG TIME BREWING d.

'The attack was not" declared
Colonel Bee, "the result of any sud-
den impulse or provocation. 1t had
been brewing for three months.
The Cinnamon and Mormons at work
in the mines could not be induced
to strike as desired by the Knights
of Labor, and hence it was neces-
sary in order to carry out the de-
signs of the organization that they
be gotten rid of Or else forced to
quit the region. The plot to preci-
pitate conflict was laid for the day
prior to its actual occurrence, but
miscarried because the Cinnamon
did not work on that day. The
whites had taken possession of the
Chinamen's section and had pre-
pared a blast and were there in
readiness to receive the latter when
they should arrive. The atrocities
committed are beyond description.
The officers and soldiers who are
now at Rock Springs say that in
many combats with Indians they
have never witnessed any traits of
human nature so hideous and repul-
sive as those which the miners dis
played. Not one of them is a citi-
zen of the United States or has ever
announced any intention of becoming
such. Six of them called upon Gov
ernor Warren of Wyoming and pre-
sented demand for what they
termed their rights. He asked them
if they were citizens. They said
no; they did not care to be. The
surrender of the eighteen rioters
was Il farce, as was also the inquest.
The inquest was held on twcnty-one
bodies, and we dug up twenty-nine
soon after our arrival. There were
also fifteen Cinnamon missing; the
dead bodies of two of them have
been found in the hills. One poor
fellow crawled three miles, being
unable to walk, and was four days
in reaching the railroad. He almost
starved, and suffered such an agony
of thirst that he drank his own
fluids. Wild animals tore out the
bowels of one of the wounded before
his life was extinct. i offered q
reward of S15 for every corpse that
could be found and brought into
the town, but, of course, no one
would dare bring one in if offered a
thousand dollars"

THE WYOMING MASSACRE.
INVESTIGATED BY A CHINESE REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

When the news of the massacre of
Cinnamon at Rock Springs, Wyo-
ming Territory, reached Washing
ton, ID. c., the Chinese Minister i'm
mediately telegraphed to Vice Consul
Bee of this city to proceed to the
scene, make an investigation and
also represent the interests of the
foreigners in whatever inquiry the
Government might institute. The
Chinese Secretary of Legation was
sent from Washington to join Mr..
Bee, who was accompanied by legal
counsel, and the War Department
ordered General McCook and Lieut.
enat Groesbcck, with detail of sol
diers, to escort them. Colonel Bee
left San Francisco OH the 18th of
September and has just returned.
He found at Rock Springs the Gov
eminent Directors of the Union
Pacific Railroad, Judge Savage of
Omaha, Mr.. Hanna of Ohio and Mr.
Alexander of Georgia. They made
an investigation, of which summary
accounts have already been pub
lished. The white miners were in
vited to present, with all possible
freedom, every grievance which they
might have. They failed, according
to Colonel Bee, to make any serious
charges against the Chinese. 1t was
not claimed that they were under
cutting the whites in the price of
labor, the Cinnamon receiving eX-
actly the same rates and making
from So to S4 day, while the earn
ings of the other miners ranged from
So to SIS. The examination of wit
nesses was during the whole inquiry
in the hands of the Knights of
Labor, one of whom is a Justice of
the Peace, and acted as Coroner IN
reference to the victims. Consul
Bee stated yesterday to Chronicle
reporter that there we're seventy-fve
white men engaged in the massacre.
Eighteen gave themselves up and
were released upon bail of $500
each. The outbreak of the trouble
was Immediately due to the whites
claiming that section of the mine
which had been assigned by the pit
boss to the Chinese belonged to
them. They entered it and attacked
the Cinnamon with the handles of
their picks. All of the latter were
then ordered to the surface. The
whites armed themselves with gus,
the women with pistols, knives and
clubs, and they mercilessly
slaughtered the Mengolians in the
streets and their houses. 1t is
proven that the wives of the miners
Drained some of the victims, and
that others of them plundered the
cabins and set them on fire.

Inelosed please find the law creating the Of

by to-days mail my report to the last Legisla-
ture. During the past two years great complaint
has appeared in the papers because did not do
several things-such as protect fish in rivers,
lakes and streams; because I did not distribute
fish, spawn, etc, to private individuals; because
I did not establish hatcheres ETC. l have been
unable to learn, after careful study of the law,
that had any more right as Commissioner of
Fisheries to protect fish or prosecute offenders
against the game and fish laws of the State than
any citizen possesses 1t certainly is not made
my duty. Again it is very. plain that l would
certainly become liable, and render my bondsmen
liable also, if I distributed fish, spawn
etc. to private Individuals In refusing
to do so have acted on proper consultation with
those able to advise I have distributed many
fish to private parties sub agents of the United
States fish commission, of stock sent me from
Washington.
You will observe the appropriation at my COM
mand has been some five hundred dollars per year.
Will YOU or any one, point out to me how the
various requirements of the statute can be fully
or partially carried out by the most economical
use of the money! If you will convince me
that hatcheries can be established anu cared for

While do not wish to defend my action, rs
you may we'll note from the fact that l have

without embarrassing the State with any indebt-
