MINING MATTERS.
More Gold Fields,

Mining and scientific Press
The Chinese, having recently found gold In
their territory bordering on the Amoor river,
have put several thousand men at work on the
new diggings. Now comes the news that the
French have discovered gold in paying qusnti-
ties In Madagascar. No special sensation has
been caused by the latter announcement, al
though some 81, 600 or IS, 900 has been received
as the first results OF tide discovery. The gold
is in the mountains which lie in the territory
of the Hovas, with whom the French are car
rying on a sort of skirmishiug war, which,
however, win no doubt be put end to If the
gold discoveries are as extensive as supposed
The Island Of Madagascar is the third laI gsst
in the world, Icing $50 miles long from north
to south, and $50 miles across its widest part
1t is in the Iudian ocean, and about 500 miles
from the southeast cOsst of the African CONT
nent, from which It is separated by NoZam-
bique channel. The country Is still but i'm
perfectly explored. The country is pretty
well watere6, even in the highest ranges in the
interior, the abundant rainfall giving peren-
nisl supply to the inuumerable springs and
streams.
The geology of Madagascar has been fmper-
fectly investigated. Still II has been found
that iron exists in great abundance In the cen
tral parts of the island. and copper and silver
are said TO have been found in small qusnti-
ties, but are not worked. Antlmony seems TO
be plentiful in the north, and rock salt, iron
pyrites, plumbsgo, and various Others arc
among the mineral products. There are thin
beds OF Ignite, suitable for steam coal, on its
northwest coast.
The HOva, Is the dominant tribe, and rCcu-
pies the central province of Imerins. They
are the most advanced, int. lligent and civil
iZed Of all the Mslagassy. TIE new gold
fields are in their territory. This Is the only
place owned by the French people where gold
has been found, and its occurrence is likely
TO excite the French to a wonderful degree. It
is too soon to spssk definitely CT the ext, Mt or
value Of the discovery.

Short Line, near Lufkin, Texas, sixty convicts,
who were working on the road, made n dcsper-

twenty-five Of them were killed or wounded
The prisoners were In one large body and the
guards simply emptied their repeating rifles

A BIG STRIKE ST. LOUIS.
At tho Command Of the Knights OF Labor
the street Car Men oHit Work

:
ST. Lou1s, Missou,i, October 6.-At
n meeting Of the Executive Committee Of the
Knights of Labor this afternoon, Il was decid
ed 10 order general strike o, the s;rcc,-csr
men, to begin al O'Clock to-day. Promptly
al the appointed time the men on the Wash
ington avenue line turned in, and by 4 O'Clock
this afternoon the strike was well under way,
and the running of cars was almost totally sus
pended on al the roads in the city, excepting
the Olive street, the Market street lines aad
the South 81. Louis road.
The strike was made In accordance with an
order issued by an Executive Board OF Knights
OF labor into whose hands the street car men
had placed their affairs and who allcCc that the
men were ordered out because by the Presi-
dents order, the other ofllcisls OF the car COM
panies failed TO meet thchi, or even to notice
their invitation to srbitratc their differences
between their men and the companies.
Some days ago the men drew up set OF
grievances, and made demand that twelve
hours should constitute a days work: that
conductors should receive g. per day wages,
drivers, 81 75, and that the drivers OF bob-.ail
cars should receive the same as conductors
This, the Executive Committee allcge, was
etut W bnt Ol street COM
psnies, and they also say that they specially
invited the Presidents of the companies TO
meet them and three prominent members OF
the Merchants Exchange, who had been Sc
lccted for the occasion, at the Laclcde Hotel
to-day, to consult together and arbtrate the
matter.
Only one President responded to the call,
Mr.. johnson of the South St Louis Road, who
acccdcd to the demands OF the men, and his
line was exempted, but on all the other roads
and In opposition TO the advice of the leading
merchants, whom they had called to their aid,
the Executive Committee ordered a strike and
the men went ont, except on the roads above
mentioned.
The inopportuncss OF this strike, no mat
ter what the grievances Of the men arc or how
Just they may be, is 50 manifest at this partic-
ular time, when the city is thronged with visi-
tors to attend the fair and witness the various
spec tRclcs provided for their entertainment,
that the universal sentiment of the citizens Is
one OF the severcst condemnation. The men
have wholly forfeited the sympathy OF every
body, and they cannot hope TO be successfulin in
their ill-advised movement. Thousands Of

A NEW VERSION.
1t In Now Charged that the Chinese Them
selves Fired their Houses at Rock
Springs.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, October B.
A special TO the Sun from Green River says
that some testimony of a startling character
was given to the Grand Jury to-day which is
calculated to throw new light on the transac
tions at Rock Springs during the recent riots
there. Rev. Timothy Thurloway, Congrega-
tional minister who resided at Rock Springs
with his family during the riot, has made a
sworn statement showing that the Chinese set
fire TO their own houses in order to prevent the
white men from robb!hg hem Of their money,
which was buried in the ground underneath
their dwellings. Subsequent events have
shown that this was the case, for as soon as
the Cinnamon returned TO Rock Springs they
commenced txcavating under the ruins and in
one instance over e., 900 were found.
Timothy Thurloway being duly sworn made
the following statement: am MINISTER of

guns, clubs and other weapons. | stepped
out Of my house with my wife and saw first,
two houses that were set on fire. While we
were standing there | could see a number OF
white men on the north side Of Chinatown, and
nj the came time four Cinnamon came out of
a house in the southeast part Of the town, only
a short distance from US. They were some two
hundred yards from the white men. The four
Cinnamon had not moved more than twenty
yards iron. the house with their bundles when
some one called them back, and they re-
uaiued in the bouse two or three minutes be-
fore coming out again. In the meantime 8
volley was heard on the north side Of China
town, and almost instantly the Cinnamon
rushed out Of the building. They had hardly
left when we saw that the building was on fire.
No white men were to be seen near the house,
and It WAS apparent that the house was fired
by the Cinnamon. Ny daughter, who talked
with some Chiusmen afterwards, can tell you
more about that and the object OF the China
men In set;ing their houses on fire. The two
houses that were first burned belonged to the
railroad company, and were known as pum-
bcrs 10 and 10. Among the Cinnamon that

Pairing or at Red Bend.

That evening, when the School Com
mittee of Red Bend, w. r., met to con-
slider the singular rapidity with which
all of Red Bends ewly-imported East
ern school teachers and servant girls
were courted and whisked off 10 the
altar by the Territorial swains, Mr..
Elder, the Chairman, said he had an
idea which he thought might be worthy
the attention of his associates. He
proposed that in the future all school
teachers should be made to sign bond
not to marry before the end of the
term. The idea WAS accepted, but
fearing that the conditions might make
it impossible for them TO get omen
nto the town, they said nothing about
them TO the one with whom they opened
negotiations. She came on, and, af-
ter deciding to take the place. was in
formed of the contract which she would
have TO sign. To this she Indignantly
declined TO accede. The School Com
mittee was ineNorable, and so was she.
She said she would leave for home in
the morning The committeeman
looked at one another to see if any body
was weakening, but no one appeared
to be willing to give in; so it was de-
cided that she would have to 60. This
particular girl was young and very vi
vacious. and when she started off with
School-Director Beebe for Yakima the
whole town wished she would stay. An
hour later Beebe drove into town with
the girl still in his wagon, and to the
people who gathered round the vehicle
with questions he said:
The fact is, we've decided to get
married. She didn't want to 60 back,
and didn't want 10 have her go.n
Every body felt that Beebe had played
roots on everybody else, but there was
nothing to say.
At the next meeting of the commit
tee, which Beebe did not attend, Mr.
Elder again had an idea which he
wanted to submit He said that in view
of what had happened it occurred to
him that Red Bend had greatness with
in its grasp. Now" he continued.
..let us overstock this market with
schoolma'ams and servant girls. Ad-
vertise for them everywhere, offer big
wages, and hire al that come Wen
get enough after while to go around,
and when we do it we may have few
on hand
The suggestion was discussed at con-
siderable length and finally adopted.
The School Board decided to hire ten
teachers, and twenty of the married
men in town agreed to take twenty-five
servant girls. The advertisement
brought many answers, and in the
course of time the town began to fill
up with young women of every descrip-
ton. As they arrived they were as
signed TO different families, and before
week had passed there were more
marriages on foot than the preacher
could keep track of. The experiment
has been found to work splendidly, and,
as the only schoolma'am in town now
is said TO be on the point of marrying,
it is thought that the same device will
be reSorted to again. Six girls have
married out of McGinn's kitchen, and
during the last twelve months there
have been fourteen teachers at the little
school. The present incumbent is a
grcnadier from Michigan, and the COM
mittee thinks she will last some time.
