THE WYOMING MASSACRE.
Fifty Cinnamon KILLED and wounded
aud Five Hundred Driven from Ia

The latest news from Rock Springs,
Wyoming, indicate the state of affairs
much worse than at first reported.
Every Chinaman, over 500 ia number,
has been driven out of town. Fifteen
dead Cinnamon have thus far been
discovered, and there are as many
more dead bodies probably in the
ruins. Fifty houses belonging to the
railroad company and fifty more own
ed by the Cinnamon were burned.
The Cinnamon are yet in the hills,
west of the town, without food, afraid
to 20 to Green River City, a distance
of about ten miles. Governor Warren
is now at Rock Springs, with General
Superintendent Dickinson and Super.
intendent Wurtele, of the western
division of the Union Pacific Railroad.
No more disturbances are anticipated.
Food will be sent to the starving Chit
namen in the hills by the authorities.
Colonel Bee, the Chinese consul at
San Francisco, CAL, has received the
following dispatch from Evanston,
Wy. T., relative to the massacre of
Chinese at Rock Springs: THE sum-
Der of Chinese killed outright was
eleven. There are a large number Of
wounded still in the hliis, many of
whom viii probably die. The Chi.
nese dare not go out in search of
them" The dispatch concludes stst-
ing that it was nothing but a massacre
of defenseless people,
A Chyenne dispatch says: The
worst has evidently no been told re-
garding the anti-C Chinese riots in the
west part Of Wyoming. According to
advites from Evanston, where the
second largest coal mining camp of
the Union Pscifc Road is located, the
movement was a p~recoacerted one. 1t
had been arranged that the first ats
tack upon the Cainese "a to be made
In Carbon, a mining town about $50
miles east Of Rock Springs, TO be fol-
lowed by like movements in the latter
place and Evanston. The Rock
Springs miners, however, took the
initiative and the result there has been
announced. The mob at that place
looted the houses of the Chinese be
fore setting Ere to them. The Out>
RACES commenced in Nine No. 6,
where three Chinese miners were az
tackled and killed. Then the riot
commenced all over town, even
women joining with loaded shot guns
IN their hands. Superintendent
Evans, Of the coalemines, has been
warned TO leave town, and he did so
with alacrity, passing through here en-
route for Omaha. Nothing can be
heard from Carbon. The operator
there is evidently afraid to send news.
Prom Evanston the sheriff of Uintah
county telegraphed to Governor War
rem as follows: "a large number of
citizens, with myself are satisfied that
She outrages committed at Rock
Springs viii be repeated here, and are
liable to break out at any time. We

property OF our citizens Governor
Warren is as Green River, but he has
telegraphed to the commanding Off
GERS at Fort Steele and d. A. Russell,
and troops are ordered to hold them
selves in readiness 20 nov al 3 mo-

A NEW sugar is now obtained from
the seeds OF the Taurus persea, a ueo
growing in the tropics. This sugar
has on previous occasions been neticed
by chemists, but was supposed by them
10 be maunlte. II is extracted by
boiling alcohol, from which 10 crys-
talizes on cooling. Its point Of fusion
is 1873 5 tc lS4 degrees, while taat Of
mannite is twenty degrees lower; it is
very soluable in hot, less SO in cold
water, and even in concentrated solu~
ton it has no action in the polarme
Ter; on adding borax, however, to q
four per cent. solution, it gives q 70,
tation to the right Of 0.55 degree. 1t
does not reduce copper solutions, and
is not fermentable. Boiling nitric
acid converts it into oxalic acid, with.
out the production Of murlc acid.
There are also some other chemical
characteristics peculiar to this new
agar.

EXTRA SESSION.

The Republican Press of Oregon seem
ito treat the matter Of an extra session
of the Legislature as a fixed fact-a
foregone conclusion-even a proper
thing to be done. We call our readers
of both parties to attest the fact that
we have never yet shown the lack of
confidence IN Gov Moody that has been
shamefully displayed by his own party
organs. They do not attach any i'm
portance to the circumstance that the
Legislature just adjourned had exclu-
.sive jurisdiction over the subject and
saw fit to do nothing. The law made
it their duty to consider the matter of
electing U. S. senator. Surely the
proclamation of the Governor cannot
have any more binding force than the
law they are sworn to obey. The
Governor has the right to recommend
the passage of measures and the Legis-
iature has perfect right to disregard
his recommendation. Should they do so
it cannot be pretended that the Gov
.srnor should reconvene then to consid-
,er the same subject. Nonsense, and
yet this is parallel with the senatorial
business. Under the circumstances
the Governor has no right to call the
Legislature together for the purpose of
voting for U. S. senator and it is a
real shame that his own political organs
should thus seek to mislead him. If
he is afraid to trust Legislature new
and fresh from the people then morally
he is restrained--he should not, he dare
not thwart their will. If Oregon must
need have the vacant senatorship sup
piled then although we cannot concede
his power to do so, it would be better
to appoint By so doing over thirty
thousand dollars would be saved to our
treasury and the people year hence
viii have opportunity to be heard for
themselves. Economy, honesty and
fair dealing cannot be successfully
disregarded by Mr.. Moody or any 9th
er man or body of men. The Cover
nor should prefer to be known as an
honest man, patriot, rather than as
the plant subservient tool of political
tricksters.

ROSEBURG REVIEW
FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1885.
A STEP FORWARD.


With this issue, we discard our sspat-
enta outside and present te our readers
home printed newspaper. Not quite
six months ago The REVIEW came under
Its present management. That it has
had steady growth in the favor of the
public can be testified to by its large
advertising patronage and by the many
new names on its subscription list. We
have aimed to keep it fully abreast of
the demands and to meet the wishes of
the progressive people who have so gem
erously endorsed our course and ptir-
poses.
TO give the people Of Douglas county
q complete local newspaper, to give
Southern Oregon representative jour
nal, and the State Of Oregon bold,
fearless champion-these have been the
objects CT the REVIEW. That it will
take time to make the REVIEW all we
wish it, is fact; and to aid us in our
undertaking, we look with confidence
10 the people who have given us such
adequate endorsement in the past
Politically, the REVIEW is Demo
cratic and heartily endorses the admin
istration of President Cleveland. We
desire revenue reform. civil service re-
form and an honest and able adninis-
Gration of the government. These, we
take to be the aims of the Democracy
and of the Cleveland ADMINISTRATION.
But above all parties must come Amer
ican citizenship, and we will always
claim and exercise the fearless and In
dependent advocacy of any cause we
believe TO be right and in the interest
of the people.
Again we thank our numerous pat
Tons for the support they have accorded
the REVIEW, and promise many more
improvements in the near future.

DIED,

On Friday the 26th Of last month In
dian Mooch died on is place on East
Unipqua. Mooch was we'll liked by all
who knew him. Our readers will re-
ine.nber the circumstance mentioned
IN this paper several months ago Of his
having sent to President Cleveland a
present of pair of Indian make buck
skin riding gloves. They were gra-
ciously received by the President who
in return sent his photograph. This
humble American citizen was deemed
worthy the respect and courtesy of our
great Chief Magistrate and the evidence
of it further served to exalt this great
officer.
Mooch was a Klamath by birth, was
captured when a child and raised by
the Umpquas and at death was thirty
five years old. He was quiet and civil
and never bore arms in war except to
assist the whites against the Modocs
i'll 1872. His life furnished good cx-
ample to others Of his race. In the
vast field Of eternity may he reach and
rest in the happy hunting ground pre-
pared for all who in life were meek and
lowly.

Hail Columbia.

Tomorrow viii be the anniversary OF
the birth day of the government of the
United States. On July 4th l776,
the delegates from the colonies of New
Hamshire, Massachusetts, Bay, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina South
Carolina and Georgia met at Philadel-
phia and declared for new order in
government. At that time all the gov
ernments in christendom were governed
by kings and princes, while the people
were entitled to such rights only as
their rulers would grant. The men
who had carved out Of the wilderness a
new empire were not disposed to
acknowledge any rights of kings, but
astonished the world by declaring that
call men are free and equal, that they
are endowed by their creator with GER
tain inaiienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, that TO secure these rights gov
ernments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, that whenever
any form of government becomes de-
strnctiye of these ends, it is the right
of the people to alter or abolish it, and
to institute Il new government, laying
its foundation on such principles and
organizing it's powers in such form, as
to them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety ard happiness. This
heretical doctrine was maintained by
folce of arms, in an unequal contest
with the strongest kingdom in Europe,
and when independence was won, was
embodied in the constitution Of 1889,
which stands to-day the brightest ex-
ample OF the power of the people fol
self-goyernment the world has even
known.
This declaration Of independence is
The event which tie people arc assem-
bling in every town and every hamlet
throughout the Union to celebrate to-
morrow. It will be celebrated by large
crowds, some of whom will listen to
the orator of the day; but the majority
look upon it as holiday devoted to
pleasure and fireworks, without the
slightest thought of the solemnity Of the
occasion. Our sorefathers held it Sd
cred IN memory Of those grand old
patriots who pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor to
maintain the principles Which are the
foundation of our government. 1t
would he we'll If their descendants
wonld celebrate in the same mannet
and thus keep alive the same flames on
