The Anti-Chinese Agitation.

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-The Governor of
Washington Territory yesterday telegraphed to
Secretary Lamar that the citizens of Tacoma
had expelled about two hundred Chinese from
the city limits. The Governor then telegraphed
the local authorities at Tacoma, asking if they
could preserve order. He was informed that
while order had not been perfectly preserved, no
one had been seriously injured. Another tele-
gram from the mayor of Seattle stated that, in
view of the outbreak at Tacoma, trouble ap-
pretended at Seattle. The Chinese in the Terri
tory have made an urgent appeal to the govern
ment for protection, and gubernatorial procla
nation has been issued, calling upon all citizens
to assist in the preservation of order This action
was reported to-day to Secretary Lamar, and,
after a conference with the President, tele
gram was sent to the Governor of Washington
Territory, approving the issuance of his procla-
nation, and directing him to all means in
his power to prevent further trouble.
A private dispatch from Tacoma states that
Chinatown, situated near the lower depot and
wharf of the Northern Pacific railroad, has been
burned by mob. aud that the railroad tank,
trestle and other property have been damaged
by the flames.

pared for Persecution.
Salt Lake Letter.
John Taylor, the president of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is invisible
to public gaze at the present time. Although
nearly fourscore years of age, he is in excellent
health and spirits, and economies life philo-
sophicaliy. The present anti Mormon boom
| worries him but little. He and others of the
church do not look upon the imprisonment of
their brethren as disgrace, but rather as an
honor, being test of faith and principle. Some
few of the sal nts weaken when they get before
Judge Zane. but the majority 60 in cheerfully
for all 1T is WORTH ard even seem pleased at the
honor conferred upon them when they get their
sentence tor Six months imprisonment and $500
fine. To all appearances. if the judiciary can
stand it the saints can. What will be the sequel
of the onslaught on the Mormons time will tell
John Taylor was born in Westmoreland coun-
ty north of England, nearly eighty years ago.
At an early age he emigrated to Canada, where
he embraced the Latterday faith. His appear
ance is that of a venerable nobleman, slightly
bent with age with mental facilities as acute
a man of fifty In his younger days he was
tall, stout and robust Mr.. Taylor is not of the
type of ordinary ecclesiastical dgntaries but
rather would impress you as senior in the
diplomatic service of some leading power. In
appearance department, and education he is
true gentleman, cordial, amiable, and unassum-
ing. He is a fine conversatonaiist, being mas
ter of several languages and he has travelled
much in Europe and elsewhere. He lived for
some years in New York city as editor of church
organ, The Mormon, published by him in that
city.
His habits are pure, plain and healthy He
never used tobacco in any shape, but observed,
when had the pleasure of dining with him,
that he seemed to enjoy his one glass of Utah
light wine, which, by the by, is an excellent
article, grown and manufactured in the southern
part of she Territory.
1t Is erroneous to think that John Taylor de-
votes his whole time to preaching and praying.
or that he is antagonistic to the use of outside
capital in Utah. Far from it. Work and
pray" is his axiom No man has done more for
Utah Territory. Brigham Young's work was
necessarily open to public gaze, for he founded
settlements and built railroads; but John Taylor
works silently. Perhaps you will be surprised
to know that Mr.. Taylor has been the c.iief ma
nipulator in obtaining purchasers in England
and elsewhere for the richest mines in
Utah, but such is the fact He sold the great
Ontario mine for nearly million dollars and
was to receive 10 per cent commission, but he

on Corners Point about three miles from here
across the bay, covering an area of FIVE acres,
and at present carrying stock of about 100 600

though tugs and fre-engines sent from this city
have been throwing streams of water upon the
fire for several hours The dock property was
built On made land, consisting of slabs and saw
dust, and as the fire is underneath the plank, it
is very difficult to get at 1t is impossible to
make al estimate of the probable loss at this
writing.

WASHINGTON. Nov 5-Auid the reiocings of
the Democrats last night over the triumph of
Robert E. Lees saddle most significant incl
dent occurred The crowd was assembled in
front of the Post building, from which Office the
kilograms received were flashed upon a large
screen. During long wait for more kilograms
the enthusiasm of those present was aroused to
frenzy by the appearance first of portrait of
Fitz Lee, and then one of Hill. The crowd went
"clean daft" over these. and for several minutes
the air resounded with cheers, and was darkened
by the fngng up of hats. canes. umbrellas and
handkerchiefs Then the broad, stolid features
Of President Cleveland were delineated on the
screen and they were received in the most pro
found silence! Not word of commentator or
appreciation could be heard from all that vast
crowd of enthusiastic Democrats of the first
Democratic administration since before the war.
For the head Of that administration, after it has
been in power just eight months to day, they
had nothing but disapprobation and silent con-
tempt Even Republican crowd could not
have received Mr. Clevelands portrait with any
more disapprobation than did the Democrats in
front of the Post building last night.
