coroner that q frightful stencil was being
emitted from cellar on Pacific streef.

found the floor covered with human
skulls and bones, partially covered with
flesh, in the last stages Of putrfaction.

Shiny with liquid exudins from the re-
mains. In an inner room the coroner
found a number Of Chinese engaged in
boiling down the remains Of other bodies,
while other Chinese were engaged in
scraping the boiled bones and packing
them in boxes for ship nent to China.
It is estimated that the cellar contained
over three hundred dead bodies, which,
had been taken secretly from various
cemeteries throughout the Stata, AS an
instance Of Chinese ingenuity it Is stated
that those in charge OF the operations,
fearing the stencil from the boiling pots
would be SO great as to attract the attan-
ton of the outside procured two. living
skunks, so that the odor OF the latter
might overcome the former.
The coroner confiscated all theFemains.
After all the boxes containing the re.

that when he arrived the cellar in which

AMAx by the name Of Tyser, who has
been appointed to clerkship in the
Treasury Department, does not turn out
to be, but was known to be an ex.convict.
He has served fye years term in the
New York State Prison, aud 4 four years
sentence in the Minnesota penitsntiary.
He was we'll acquainted with President
Cleveland. Commenting on this the
Philadelphia Pres goes on to say: THE
Democratic slogan, turn the rascals out,
seems TO mean in its application to
turn them out Of jail and put them
into office. The Administration has
certainly been pursuing this very
policy. There Is Horse-thief Judd,
who was appointed agent Of the Labor
Bureau; swindler Payne, who, after
pleading guilty to the charge OF obtaining
money under false pretences, was appoint
ed Barbiere's successor in the Philadel-
phia Pension Office; DR.. Hire, Of New
Orleans, who, when appointed by Pension
Commissioner Black examining surgeon
for the Pension Bureau. was under indict'
ment for fraud, and is now awaiting trial.
Higgins, who seems to be the special
tavorte of the Treasury Department, is,
IS the records show, htmsslfa q professional
rounder and ballot-box stufer, and the
friend and protector OF notorious burgiart
aud other criminals.
The list might be extended indefinitely
At Ieasttwo postmAsters appointed under
the present Administration are unable tc
qualify, because they are in jail, awaiting
trials for serious offences. Two other
newly made postmasters have served
terms in jail, while the number of thos'
whose careers have been notoriously cor
rupt who have been befriended by the
new Administration ia legion. Thus the
Democratic party acquits itself Of the
charge of ingatituds. The criminal clasl
has always been its strongest element, ant
now that the Democratic party is In powel
its horse thieves and torgers have to bt
provided ior.''

saloons at tho Capital.

wAsHtSaTos. Sept. l5.-some Of the
District officials are examining the ques-
ton ofhigh license with view Of adopt
ing it here. At presenta retail license Of
500 prevails. This city has far less
trouble from the saloons than most COM
munities, but, like ali others, it is the
worst evil it has to contend with, and
causes by far more trouble to
the police authorities. The study
Of the question has arisen from the trouble
caused by the rapid increase OF the small
est and lowest drinking places. These are
having q most corrupting influence among
the colored population, which makes up
so large proportion Of the laboring class.
The idea Of those examining the question
is that the Ohio Scott law would prove
most beneficial by abolishing the small
saloons.
