A CHIN ESE MASSACRE.

A massacre of Chinese laborers
occurred at Rock Springs in Wyom-
ing Territory one day last week The
trouble was revolt by the whites
against Chinese laborers. They dc
clared that the contractors favored
them above white laborers in various
ways, but of course it is the old hos
tility to Chinese labor. They were
all miners of coal, both whites and
Chinese. The part of the town oc-
eupied by the Chinese had about 500
Cinnamon and they were driven from
the town to the hills. They were
shot down or burnt to death ia their
cabins or houses. twenty-five dead
bodies were soon found and others
since, so that with those burned in
their houses and wounded so that
they died afterwards the number of
killed was about fifty. Some have
starved in the hills, whence they
dare not emerge. Fifty houses be-
longing to the railroad and fifty more
belonging to the Cinnamon were de-
etroyed. 1t is declared by some tc
be nothing but massacre of de-
fenceless people.
Later adyices rather make the
case worse than otherwise. The
white miners claim great provocation
in favoritism to the Chinese. 1t il
supposed the Chinese work for less

Representative physicians and
officials Of the different railroad cen
tering in Montreal held a meeting,
last week, and took measures to adj
wise the Dominion government of
the immediate necessity of compelling
the civic authorities of the city to
abate the smallpox scourge, and
also to notify the mayor and board
of health that unless such action was
taken the city would be cut off from
all railroad communication with the
states of Vermont, New Hampshire,
Maine and Michigan. 1t is probable
that this action will stimulate the
city authorities to do the best they
can to abate the plague. The Mon
treal Gazette reports that it is dimin-
ishing, and that sanitary science,
allied to public spirit, has achieved
much of this result. The disease
has appeared in few places outside
the city, but is not raging to q Sc
rIous extent. asH

Whether the New York San is

Whether the New York San is
friendly to the administration or not,
it does we'll to criticise the order of
the treasury department requiring
one-dollar and two-dollar bills TO be
sent to Washington from the SUBJ
treasury, so that they may not be
used for general circulation. This
is done to oblige people to make use
of the silver dollar instead of the
small bills. The supply of these
bills in circulation is still adequate,
but unless the order is revoked its
effect will soon begin to be felt by
the public. The San does not be-
lieve that people want to carry silver
dollars about in their pockets for Or
binary use, or that they will bear the
change with patience. 1t thinks the
administration ought to consider
what will be the political effect of
depriving the people Of these small
bills and forcing them TO use silver
dollars .s3tgdim ytf.d r. el.

The seizure of the Caroline Islands

The seizure of the Caroline Islands
by the Germans caused great excite
ment in Madrid, and led to an at
tack upon the German embassy.
The demand for PREPARATION was
promptly made by Bismark, and the
hot-headed Spaniards as promptly
made due apology. The Germans
claimed Spain never took formal
possession of the Carolines, and Bis
mark desired to leave the question to
arbitrators. 1t is now asserted that
Emperor William has sent despatch
to King Alfonzo saying that he has
no intention of trenching upon Span
ish rights, and will do nothing to
prejudice his old friend Alfonzo
tina Germany will withdraw and
abandon all designs on the Caroline
Islands, and admit Spanish SOW
ereignty over these islands, provided
it be made effective. Bismark wish
ed TO pursue his original plans but
was overruled by the emperor.

A special from Springfield.

A special from Springfield, O.,
says a terrible cyclone struch Wash
ington Court House, a city of 1000
inhabitants, % miles west of CleVe-
land, at eight Tuesday evening, and
almost literally swept it from the
earth. 1t came from the northwest,
and broke upon the town very sud-
denly, carrying everything before it.
The tornado whirled up Court street,
the main business thoroughfare, and
ruined almost every business block
on it. Hardly a private residence in
town escaped, fully 400 buildings
going down. The Baptist, Presby-
terian and Catholic churches all suf-
fered the same fate. The Ohio

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.

Washington, Sept. IT,.
The president has notified the
m embers of the cabinet that he will
return to Washington on Monday
and that the usual meetings will be
resumed Tuesday. A number of
reports, especially from the navy
and treasury departments, have been
prepared for use at the cabinet meet
ing.
Secretary Bayard, it is understood
will make new recommendation for
minister to Austria in place of Mr..
Kelley. and it is generally believed
that the department of justice will
provide for the eX-mayor of Rich
mond in the future. Mr.. Bayard has
not yet taken vacation. but goes to
Wilmington, Saturday night and re-
turns Monday morning. Secretary
Whitney is expected at the navy de-
partment tomorrow, and postmaster
General Villas telegraphs that he too
is eastward bound. Attorney Gen.
Garland is still on his farm in AZ
kansas, but it is probable accompa-
MED by Secretary Lamar. he will re-
turn to Washington in time for the
first fall session Of the cabinet. Some
interesting Developments are expect
ed from this sudden determination
on the part of the president and his
councillors.
Secretary Manning returned to
this city from Watch Hill this after
noon and tonight was closeted with
assistant secretary Fairchild and his
private secretary at the Arlington
The secretary says he has enjoyed
his vacation very much and will re,
sumo his customary labors at the de-
partment. There were a:great many
subjects demanding attention al
once, and they had in a measure cur
tailed his trip, but he is now ready
for hard work agian. The coas
survey and other questions of simila
Importance, which had been PARTIAL,
settled during bis absence, would b.
carefully examined and a stict com
plianee with law enforced, regard
less of consequences.
Miss Cleveland is expected to re
turn to the white house about th
first of next month and will be &C
companied by one or two lad,
friends, who will remain with he
until the gay season begins. Sine

RULERS IN COUNCIL.

The chief interest in foreign mat
tiers during the past week has center
ed in the meeting of the car and the
Emperor of Austria at the little town
of Kremsier, in Moravia. The Aus
trian diplomatic world believes that
this imperial meeting will mark the
Inauguration of great changes in the
political life of Europe. Perhaps
the scene and the event may become
of historical Importance. 1t is worthy
of note, indeed, that it was the little
town of Olmutz, only twenty miles
distant from Kremsier, thirty-two
years ago, that car Nicholas met
the kaiser, Franz Joseph, and pre-
vailed upon the young emperor to
observe neutrality during the Cri-
meau war. But passing this. it is
evident that Austrian diplomats be-
lieve in the certainty of war between
England and Russia, during which
they hope to be able to take hand
themselves in garnering the spoils
as far as the Hgean sea. On the
other hand, the car seems to enter
tain the fear that while he is busy
fighting England in Central Asia,
Francis Joseph may go further be-
yond the Balkans than would be de-
sirable from slavic point of view,
and therefore, besides receiving neu-
trality, would like the imperial prom
Use from Austria that she will 90 so
far and no father. All these ar
engagements at Kremsier are to be
made in view of the coming conflict
In Central Asia, and with the deter
mination to check the domination of
England in Europe. Nor can Russia
or Austria be blamed for taking such
action. England's policy has always
been the shopkeeper's policy; and
for that she has upheld an effete
Ottoman power, and done what she
could to avert the progress of Rus
STA. But though emperors meet and
plan, it is well to remember that
both emperors together cannot make
any arrangements now that will hold
good when the general scramble for
spoils in the European Orient takes
place. That time is coming, and
doubtless before the present century
dies. And when it does the world
will witness one of the greatest
struggles of modern times, resulting
in a changing of the map of Europe.
And it will be no thirty, nor yet a
seven years war-a few weeks, a
few months at the best will end the
conflict, and then and not till then
the great powers will feel themselves
able to disarm large part of their
great armies, and Europe for once
will find itself on a peace footing.

The Humming Bird.

Entirely peculiar to America are the
humming birds. Their only rivals in
the metallic brilliancy of color the sun
birds, belong to East India Thus
far about $50 species of humming birds
have been described, of which only fif-
teen species belong to the United States,
and only one single specie to Wiscon-
sin. Not knowing the difference be-
tween the sexes, people frequently say:
81 have seen them on my morning-glo-
ries and honey-suckles, and l know |
have seen two species, one with a fiery
red throat and the other without that
ornament" 1t is generally believed
that the humming birds live entirely on
the nectar of flowers. This is pop
ular mistake. Their principal food is
small insects, as testified by numerous
examinations of stomachs of those birds;
yet many times bird-hunters have
squeezed out of the Threats and bills of
humming-birds that were shot while
feeding several drops of the sweetest
fluid. The time when the humming-
birds arrive in the spring is generally
when the garden currants are in flower;
sometimes a little earlier. The males

and sometimes between two very Young

fully expanded, form a natural umbrella
over the nest. There are always two

frequently take the sun-birds to be hum

point out marked differences between
these two beautiful families of passeres.

The firm hold which Mr.. Rankin has
upon the hearts Of the people of Manito-
woe WAS shown on Saturday when news
OF his sickness reached the city. 'Have
you heard from Rankin 2" was tho general
query aud many were the wishes that his
health would be restored. MIR. Rankin
has always been generous. kind hearted
man. but has never allowed his good deeds
to be known. No man has evec appealed
to him for assistance which he could
render and been refused, while friend
could never draw too much on his
generosity. He is abnormally sensitive
to any expressions of gratitude and this
characteristic makes him shrink from
demonstrations Of good will. His sick
ness has shown the esteem in which he
is held and the love which his neighbors
have for him.
