RICRs DUTY UNCHANGED.
The Brewers Fail to Live Up to their
Agreement.

The Brewers Faii To Live Up to their
Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.--The expected
agreement between the representatives Of
the rice growing and the brewing In
terests was not reached at the conference
to-day. Tho brewers refused TO adopt
formally the compromise proposition
which some OF them had informally agreed
to. The brewers, reinforced by Mr..
Fowler and other importers from New
York, insisted that the sO-called 'granus
latedD rice and all smaller sizes should
pay but 20 per cent. ad valorem--in other
words, that the Fairchild decision should
be maintained.
STAND OF THE GROWERS.
the rice growers representatives were
willing TO cOncede that all rice up to and
including No. grade should be admitted
at 20 per cent. al yalorem. so they sub
mitted the matter 10 the Secretary OF the
Treasury without an agreement. Seore-
tary Manning asked them whether this
was not matter for Congress 10 settle.
"NO," said Mai. Burke, "we want It
settled now and by YOU"
So the Secretary said he would eonsid-
or it.
WHEN IT WILL DE DECIDED.
IL Ia thought that his decision may not
be rendered until alter the New York
election. 1t will be, IL is believed, favor
able to the rice growers, probably on the
line OF the proposed compromise.
Collector Heddan has recently made o
decision on rice Of the so-called granu-
lated grade which imposed the ~ cents
per pound duty. This may be Inc basis
of the Secretary's decision.

nose Pronounced Untrue.
Rock SPRINGS, Wy, Oct. 24.-All the
reports OF the recent raid upon tue Chi
nese here are sensational and untrue.
There has been no organized demonstra-
tion Of any kind, though one or two Chi
namen who ventured out alone after night
have been assaulted, and a gang Of Chi
nese section men were frightened FROM
their houses Wednesday night by gang
OF half dozen small boys, who threw
coal against the building occupied by
them. Everything is quiet and
there is no real reason TOT
apprehend any further trouble. Most on
the old employees, including ii Of the 16
who were arrested as leaders IN the riot
have gone. Ii is alleged here that 1t is
the intention Of the company to employ
only MOrlnOns and Chinese hereafterl
claiming that the former are controlled
by the bishops and the latter by ChinesG

miles from the city, has died, and another
has been taken sick. Twenty-Five Of the
pupils left tonight in charge OF priest
for Toronto.
TROUBLE IN THE COLLEGE.
AninteTView with the priest shows that
the students were not driven out OF the
college without their breakfast as was re-
ported on the streets here, but left on
their own account. According TO the
reverend gentleman's statement, they
for some time have been dissatisfied with
the treatment received, and tor the past
two or three weeks have been discussing
the question OF leaving IN body. Their
plans came 10 the ears Of the authorities
OF the college last night, and so they left
at 3 O'Clock this morning. They refused
breakfast, however, before departing.
They assert that the food put before them
was not ft for human beings, and that
when they left this morning, money which
had been sent to them by their parents
was refused them.
TWO DEATHS LAST WEEK.
They also state that two pupils died
from smallpox last week, but they did
not find this out until yesterday, when
they determined 10 leave at once. Several
students are sick with smallpox, but how
many they do not know. These cases,
they say, have been concealed for weeks
az Toronto. They intend 20 enter ~.
Michaels college. All will be Vacoinated
and mmigated before they leave. They
say that the other pupils will follow their
lead.
HOSPITAL FACILITIES.
Seventy new cases Of smallpox were
verified yesterday. The civic board of
health to-day refused the request OF out
side municipalities 10 be allowed 10 send
their patients 20 Montreal hospitals, and
recommended that they build hospitals Of
their own. The provincial board having
failed TO adopt the local boards suRges-
ton 10 close churches, ETC., the latter has
determined TO print on large posters
"pithy digest" OF the law f0rbidding peO-
pie from infected houses exposing them
selves and afilx the posters 10 church
