The mourning draperies in honor of General
Grant will all be down by tonight. and the sad
fact OF his death will no longer be constantly
brought to the minds of the public. There is
something painful about this, but it by no
means signifies that this hero, last dead, will be
forgotten. So long as the Nation endures, his
name will be gratefully remembered. Mean
while renewed exertiOns to increase the Monu-
ment Fund must be made.

of the approaching New-York State FAIR have just
been sold The privileges were put up at auction and
were knocked down tn the highest bidder. The Al

A popular subscription in behalf of the
sufferers from cholera in Spain has been
started in Cuba. We shall be curious to see if
large sum is raised. Possibly no dependency
ever suffered more at the hands of the home
government than this misgoverned and OPP
pressed island. and if the contributions for the
help of the oppressors are large, the fact will
have some political significance. The Cubans
are gene rous but they are Only human. and If
deep hatred of Spain prevails all over the
Island, as revoutionists lsafe in New York;
would have us believe, the popular subscription
scheme will not be heartily supported.

road onlcIAl Has to Say AbOutit

OMAHA, Sept. G.-General Manager Gallo
way, Of the Union Pacific railroad compa
ny, was asked this afternoon to make &
statement OF the situation a. the RocE
Springs, Evanston and other mining
camps on the line OF that road regarding
the existing trouble between the Chinese
and whites. Mr.. Galloway said that notice
has been served on Beckwith and Quinn,
coal mine contractors at Rock Springs and
Evanston, to remove all Cinnamon from
Evanston by to-day otherwise serious
trouble would ensue. The United
States Government has sent troops
there and he assumed that order
would soon be restored. "Iu COLI
sequence OF the difficulty experienced" +"
continued he, "in getting reliable Ameti-
can miners in the Territories. A contract
was made some ten years ago, under
which certain proportion Of Chinese
were engaged. Both classes, he asserted,
are now paid fully 80 percent higher
wages than are paid in Eastern mines. At
Rock Springs, where the massacre oc-
CURED, the coal company's returns show
that during the past month there were
employed about 500 miners; at Evanston,
800, and at Carbon 800. ALI those at Car
bon were Americans, while at the
other two places they are d.
vided, two.thirds Chinese and one-third
Americans. Their pay is from 75 cents
to a dollar per ton mined, according to the
width OF the veins and difficulties encoun-
tered in getting out the coal. Both classes
are paid at the same rate, and have been
averaging about three dollars per day to
the man for eight hours work. The
Americans being more industrious and
skillull get out larger number OF tons
than the Cinnamon, and many OF them
earn over $l00per mouth. This scale has
been in force many years, and YVES
supposed to be satisfactory 10 the
men. The only advantage claimed by the
coal company in the employment Of
Chinese was that it enabled them TO mine
sufficient coal to keep the trains moving
when the other miners were oil on strikes,
Last winter all the men at Carbon went
out by order OF the Southern Colorado
laniners union, while theyadmitted having
no grievances OF their own. The Mormons
and Chinese will not Join their unions
and therefore come under their bane.
The Mormon miners are now moving
their families away, fearing repetition Of
last weeks trouble"
Mr.. Galloway was asked to dtfue the
policy OF his company. He replied that
inoil0nsive employees OF the coal depart
ment and some Of its officers have been
driven from their homes; had their prop.
erty destroyed, and many OF them were
foulIy murdered. They are now awaiting
protection from the Territorial or Federal
authorities, and when they can be assured
Of this we will resume operations.

the State Department here, but he does
not think China is likely to take any Wig
orous action in the matter. sfn-the first
place, he says, the Chinese Government is
opposed to the emigration OF her subjects.
There is an old Chinese law which
has been in force until within re-
cent years, which absolutely pro-
hibited Cinnamon leaving their country
to make their home elsewhere. Through
the Intervention Of the English, the
Chinese officials were induced to relax the
rigor OF this law, and 1t has OF late years
become almost dead letter, but still the
policyof the Government isagainst China
men leaving their country, and the
Chinese immigrants in this country, while
not exactly outlawed in their own coun-
try, are looked upon with disiayor. The
Chinese Government does all It can to
prevent Cinnamon leaving the country;
and 1t is only through the efforts Of for.
eigners that large numbers OF coolies are
brought here. Under these circumstances,
DR.. McCartee thinks Chinese officials will
not care much about the Wyoming affair,
andit will not become generally known in
China.
The attache in charge OF the Chinese
legation here, in the absence OF the Minis.
ter, stated that they had not communi-
catedwith tho State Department on the
subject, as they were waiting 10 hear from
the Minister, who is in New York. He
thought, however, that correspondence on
the subject would be opened, and said
that, notwithstanding his country's oppo-
sition to her subjects leaving home, these
had not done 80 in violation Of any law,
and had claim upon their country.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch OF yesterday

we'll known fact that Providence and
Buffalo are wrecked playing ball towns.
Providence has already diepesed Of Ban

that Radbourne goes with him. Startmay
also come, but no definite arrangement
has been made. Hines is to be reinstat-
ed and goes with Provldence's franchiseto
Washington. Providence has no inten-
tion to remain, but Is playing bluff
game, so as to secure good money for the
release OF its players. The Eastern part
OF the League is to be Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Washington. Plttsburgh
and Cincinnati are to be replaced by De-
troit and Buffalo in the West, and the
American Association Is to be allowed q

BosroY, Sept. 5.-The Advertiser in its
weekly review Of the wool market says:
Contrary to the expectations of some, the
market shows increased sales Of nearly
100000 pounds over last week. There
certainly appeared good ground for these
expectations, for the average OF the sales
Of the previous seven weeks has been over
100000 pounds, and more than the
immediate wants OF manufacturers should
have been met by them.
The feature OF the market is practically
the continued sharp demand for low
wools, which are from 8 to cents per
pound higher than the lowest point.
Extra super pulled woods have been adj
yanced &c per lb this week. It will be re-
called that, early in the season, the atten.
ton OF manufacturers was directed, in this
report, the low prices these woods were
selling at, being out Of all proportion to
fleece. Pullers have now either with.
drawn their woods, or have advanced
their prices at least 80 per lb.
Some lots OF XX delaine have been sold
at SEC, and some No. combing has also
brought that price. 1t is noticeable that
there is greater difference than 10 usual
between washed and unwashed combing,
now 10 or II cents, whereas, generally,
the price OF unweshed is 25 percent less
than washed. A year ago No. ! combinR
brought 36a37c and unwashed 25a28c.

crimson featherin her hat or wore piece
of red ribbon pinned to the bosom Of her
dress. The men had red bands about their
hats and more Of the same material fast
ened to their coats. The children wore
red stockings. The occasion Of this display
was the socialistic picnic, organized in
opposition to the Trades Assembly dem.
onstration tomorrow, because the latter
had voted to taboo the red flag. Speeches
to the assembling crowd were made by
Messrs. Field, Parsons and Spies. A
TRADE against capital was INDUCED by all
the speakers, each putting much stress
upon the assertion that poverty is close
ly allied to social degradition.
A red flag was presented to the Metal
Workers Society. Then there was cheer
ing and, the bands struck up lively air.
Though chilled by raw wind from the
lake and though the sky threatened rain
socialists formed inlineand set out to walk

good time. A noticeable feature was the
absence OF drum majors, or indeed any
leaders. Nevertheless the procession
got through all right. Along the line Of
march, however, but little excitement or
curiosity was manifested. In addition to
the usual Socialist notices were banners
bearing denunciatory legends against
Mayor Harrison and Governor 0glesby |
for their respective parts in the Chicago |

troubles. In the neighborhood OF Divis.

ot the route had been covered, occurred

Deafening cheers greeted the cut against

by those composing the pro-

The Champion Fires Up and Paints Thing
Very Red.

van has been "as full as a fiddler" since
his return from Cincinnati. As usual
when in such a condition, his fayorite
advertisement has been the hiring OF
livery teams and painting things red.
Yesterday afternoon he secured horse
and buggy at the st. James stables, on
Washington street, and taking his sisters
little boy In with him, raced recklessly
through the streets Of the city most OF the
afternoon, narrowly escaping Rsmash-up
many times.
About 5 5o'clock, after visiting several
bar rooms and securing a supply Of paint,
he left the boy, at the latter's urgent re-
quest, and turned down Lenox street at a
Maud s. gait. The buggy made the turn
into ShSwmut avenue on two wheels, ald
the rig few down the avenue, the wheels
running in the grooves Of the horse car
trick and the animal as straight as a
string.
At the corner Of Camden street Sullivan
turned the animal to the right. The buggy
balanced on two wheels for second, like
,R,fRncy roller skater, and then went over
into the gutter with q crash, throwing the
drunken prize fighter with terrific force
into the street. The horse ran with the
the, overturned buggy as far as Washing
ton street, where he WIS stopped uninjur-
ed, and the kindling wood and old iron
attached to the traces were gathered up.
The champion Of the world lay on the
pavement, motionless, and only partly
conscious, with blood trickling from cut
on the head. One man took him by the
shoulders and anotherby the legs, intend
ing to carry him to the stable.
Sullivan suddenly came to, struggled TO |
his feet, adjourned to Richardson's stable
and took an inventory Of himself. His
brand-new $40 pantaloons were torn bad.
ly. He sent James Welch, better known
as "Pop," (the man who never wears
stockings), to his mothers house for an.
other pair Of leg coverings; put them on
and started of.
"Pop" put his hands into the pockets OF
the discarded pantaloons and pulled out
$50 in bills and 81 or s. in silver, and
offered it to Sullivan. The champion
looked at the money disdainfully and
went of down town without 1t, "Pop"
wrapped the money up in paper and
turned 1t over to Sullivan's mother.
Sullivan telegraphed Paddy Ryan at
New York last night that his fight with
him, set down for the 10th, was "off," as
here wasn't time enough between now
md then for him to do his training.
