Chinese Excitement in Dragon.

IL 0kCAH
PORTLAND, Nov. G.-The Oregonian' 4
Seattle, W. 7. special says: There is
much disappointment here among the
law abiding citizens over Governor
Squire's proclamation. They asked for
troops, and think troops absolutely neces-
sary to preserve peace. The governor
proclamation will have no effect they say.
A conference was held yesterday after
noon between the leaders of the anti Chi
nese organizations, a committee of citi-
zens and a committee of Chinese mer-
chants. The latter agreed to leave if they
were paid for their property. One Chi
nese firm here has one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars invested in property.
Last night a public meeting was held, at
which members of the peace committee
and Chinese agitators spoke. References
to the outrages at Tacoma were greeted
with loud cheers. The city is in a fever
of excitement, and trouble is feared be-
fore the end of the week. 1t is believed
by conservative citizens that the presence
OF United States troops alone will pre-
serve peace and prevent bloodshed.
TACOMA, W. T., Nov. G.-Thc damage
by the destruction of Chinatown was
about $4,000. The buildings were mere
shanties, but a great deal of merchandise
was burned. The houses were fired by
anti-Coolie agitators so that the expelled
Chinese, if they ever should return,
would have no habitation. The incendi-
aries have been manufacturing evidence
to show that the Chinese themselves fired
the buildings. Only two Chinese were in
the city at the time of the fire, all the re-
mainder having been driven u the day
before.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 6.-The anti
Chinese movement for the peaceful ex-
pulsion of Chinese is rapidly spreading to
other towns on this coast. At San Jose
last night the city council. accompanied
by the citizens committee, visited China
town in a body to determine what action
should be taken to abate the Chinese nui-
sance. At Santa Cruz tonight a meeting
was called for the purpose of forming an
anti Chinese league. Seven hundred
names were enrolled. Another meeting
will be held tomorrow,

ZINC Montrenl Tronhles-

NEW YORK, Nov. GA Montreal spe-
cial says Montreal evidently is on the eve
of another riot. The forcible removal of
Gagnon's children to a hospital by the
mayors sanitary officials has evoked Il
storm of Indignation from the French
paper la M1ierre and lie Monde, in
which Mayor Beaugraid is described as IA
murderer and revolutionary outcast. Says
lie Monde: You have no heart; you
have not got the right to maltreat those
who have the honor of having one. Your
inhuman and barbarous conduct caused
the death of brave Gagnon's child; you
are responsible for this death. Yesterday
you triumphed over poor and courageous
Gagnon, from whom you took his child
rem and his wife, and whom you have
thrown into prison with his children.
You are victorious, but your injustices,
your cruelties, your barbarisms already
crush you and cover you with shame and
dishonor."
La Mu1eyre goes further and invokes
the populace to resist the officers. As the
result the mayor has issued warrants for
the arrest of NJ. Vanasse, NJ. p, editor
Of lie Monde; NJ. Tassemp, editor, and
NJ. Getmas, sub editor of In Miaerrc. on
the charge of personal and scditious libel,
the latter against Beaugraid in his capa-
city as mayor.

Abductlng and Maltreating a Beau
tiful Girl.


The Denver Nelcs has the following
special:
PUEBLO, Nov.5.-A strange and villain
Gus case of abduction and attempted muir
der caused great sensation here to. day.
The victim was Minnie Boone, of La
Veta, n beautiful young lady of 10, at
tending school on the mesa, in South
Pueblo. Last evening, while on the way
to the evening session of the commercial
class, she wos seized and chlorolormed
and remembers nothing more. When
next she came to her senses she was lying
on the track of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway, three miles west of the
city, on the north side of the river, at 4
O'Clock this morning.
1t was all she could do in her paralyzed
state to reach the nearest farm house.
She was brought home and is lying in a
PROSTATE bur not dangerous condition.
The only plausible supposition at present
is that the deed was done by her husband,
named c. NJ. Gaffett. Of Leadville. They
were married three years ago and soon
separated and Gaffett swore that if he
could not live with his wife he would kill
her. He was seen here on Tuesday. He
has been employed as collector on the
Denver & Rio Grande road at Leadville,
and is about 2i years of age. He is rath
er a small man, while Minnie weighs $50
pounds and is a well built girl as well as
beautiful and intelligent She took the
prize in the oratorical contests in the Col
legiate institute last June.
A napkin, which was evidently used to
chloroform her, was found to day. For
t%unately there are no night trains on the
Santa Fe coal branch. 1t may be that
Gaffett is innocent, but if he had appeared
this morning in town he would have been
instantly hung by an excited mob. Off
GERS are out in all directions.
LATER.-The more the abduction case
is worked up the more serious it becomes,
and it is quite possible after all that CAT
tett had nothing to do with it.

Sleeping With a Corpse for Three
Nights.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 6.-Herman,
the wife murderer, confesses the crime
aud says it was committed Sunday night.
lie was jealous of her and says he slept
on the same bed for three nights upon
which lay the body of the murdered wo.
man. The deed was done about : o'clock
in the evening when Mrs. Herman wished
to go out alone; he insisted on accompany
ing her, when words ensued. He threw
her upon the floor and killed her with a
razor. Alter cutting her throat, he lifted
her to the bed, took herapron and soaked
up the blood, washed himself and went
out. He returned to the house about s
O'Clock and laid down by the corpse, az
stated.

New York, Nov. G.-ln an interview
to-day in regard to the boycott which the
Knights of Labor have instituted against
the Mallory line Of steamers at Galveston.
Mr.. Mallory said that he had not the
slightest intention Of yielding, as the de-
mands Of the strikers were wholly unreal
sonable, and as one concession would only
open the way To more demands and more
concessions. The line was having its
work at Galveston done all right by col
ored laborers. The extent to which the
knights of Labor were exercising their
power at present was indicated by the
fact that they practically controlled the
telegraph, all the dispatches between his
firm and the agent at Galveston being
known to the strikers and some of the
dispatches were being delayed in trans
mission.

Army Matters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a general or
der issued late this afternoon from the
headquarters of the army says Gen. Sher-
idan has filed the vacancies upon his per-
sonal staff created by the relief of his two
aides de camp, pursuant to orders from
the department. The newly appointed
aides are Lieut.. Col. Kellogg, Of the 9TH
cavalry, and Lieut.. Col. Blunt, OF the
ordnance department Col. Kellogg, who
was an aide de camp to Gen. Thomas
during the war, has lately returned from
Europe, where he attended this years
autumn manguvres of the French army,
and is now serving with his troop at Fort
Supply, |. T. Col. Blunt has been serv-
ing for more than a year as inspector of
rifle practice at headquarters of the army,
the duties of which position he will CON
tinue to discharge in addition to those Of
aide de camp. He is the author of the
manual Of rifle firing adopted last year for
use in the army. Coils. Kellogg and Blunt
are widely and lavorably known both in
and out of the army, and it is said to-
night, in military circles, that their selcc-
ton by Gen. Sheridan as his personal
aides is likely TO give general satisfaction.

WINNIPEG, Nov. Owing to the
discovery of an alleged compact ON the
part of some residents of this place to
take the life OF Riel, should the Dominion
government fail to execute him, the gov
eminent has become alarmed and placed
a double guard over the prisoner at the
barracks at Regina The prisoner has
been placed under the special charge of
a commissioned officer, and special mount
ed guards have been told to patrol for
miles around the barracks to see hat the
garrison is not surprised and the prisoner
rescued. As the time for the execution
draws near. Riel grows nervous and
idgety. He PROCESSES to believe he will
not be executed, but evidently suffers
mentally, as he has become considerably
emaciated. 1t is reported that Archbishop
Lache has written to the pope to use any
influence he might be able to exercise to
save the prisoner for the part that Riel
played in the rebellion of 1869, when the
pope sent him a memento in the shape
of an alleged nail from Christ cross.

A Murderous and Adulterous Rec

AOIa
PEYMourn, Eng, Nov. G.-Rev. Stew
art Ross, formerly rector of Christ church,
Belfast, Ireland, was addressing the Ply
mouth Young Mems Christian society
last evening, when Charles Joy, Canadian
emigration commissioner, burst into the
room and shouted you hypocrite, you
eloped with my wife. Ross turned pale
and fed from the room. The audience
were surprised and excited. The moment
many of them realized what was the mat
ter they became a bowling mob and pur-
sued their lecturer for a mile, yelling all
the time. At this point Ross, who was
breathless and driven to bay, turned sud
denly and stabbed two of his most active
pursuers. Others coming up at the time,
seized and disarmed the murderous rec
tor. The police then put in an appear
ance and arrested Ross. He was taken
before a magistrate to-day, when 4 charge
was lodged against him and he was re-
manded for a week, without bail. 1t has
transpired that Ross disappeared from
Belfast two years ago, leaving a wife and
three children, clipping with Mrs. Joy, a
teacher in his Sunday school. Mr.. Joy
received a letter from Ross saying: Your
wife has undergone malpractice, and you
had better arrange for obtaining a divorce
from her" Mrs. Joy was found in the
prisoners lodging and when informed of
her paramount arrest gloried in her con-
nection with "the Lords Amounted, as
she called him. She attended court to-
day and sat in a brazen manner through
out the proceedings.

4 Played-out Mining District

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-On the recon-
mendation of the DIR. Kimball, director of
the mint, Secretary Manning has author
lied the suspension of operations and the
mint at Carson, New. Since the suspen-
sion of the coinage of standard silver dol
lar. last June, this mint has been con
Quoted as an assay Office. Deposits,
however, have been insignificant during
the last few months. The reason assign
ed by Director Kimball for the present
action is that the yield of the mining in
dustry once centering at Carson is now
practically reduced to nothing. so that
whatever reason there once was for the
license of the Carson mint, is no longer
in force. "
