THE ROCK SPRINGS OUTRAGE,
Many More Cinnamon Killed than First
Reported.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. ga Leader
special from Rock Springs gives the latest
that can be obtained from the scene Of the
recent anti. Chinese troubles. All Is quiet
to-day. The miners have returned to work.
At . meeting held last night measures were
taken to put stop to the drunken carousals
of fey Of their number who have been eel
ebrating the removal OF the Chinese. Two
moro dead Celestials we're found to-day
one In the ruins Of Chinatown and anotL or
beneath the bridge about mile east. The
hesthen had been wounded and mansged to
walk that far before he gave up. Your cor
respondent talked with the miners to day
who took an active part In the attack upon
Chinatown, and was told that less than .
third Of the dead Chinese In the ruins Of the
houses have been found thus far. They de-
clare thst no less than twenty-five were shot
down inside the burned buildings. These
buildings had dirt roofs, which covered up
the dead Cinnamon when the dwellings sue
cumbed to the flames, and - no actual
search has been made in the ruins, Il IL quite
prooaDle thAt these statements are true.
Cinnamon are still arriving 1t stations east
and west almost dead from fright and weak
from fatigue aud lack Of food. All are ship
ped TO Evanston BY the company. They
r''teraie the statement that many have died
: the hills from wounds received In the A.
tack upon them. II 10 reported here that
the white miners at Almy, In the western
end Of the Territory, have notified the Chi
ness lsboren In tho mines that they must
leave inside Of three days, and that the IN
lon Pacific has guaranteed their removal
within the time specified. The Celessials
Ill along the road refused to work TO- day,
and demanded passes to Evanston. The
Chinese iaundrymen and servants At Green
River were told last night that they must
lsave within twelve houn, and they viii 90

Death OF Ex-senator Gwin.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Tribune says
Ex-senator Gwin, Of California, who had
been sick for week al the New York Hotel,
was thought to be getting better until night
before last. At noon yesterday he died,
having lived within one month Of so years.
His son, ex-senator Gwin, has been on the
way from California since Monday. Owing
to The assurance Of speedy recovery tele-
graphed Mrs. Gwin at San Francisco, she
made no effort to reach her husband before
his death. Last evening his body lay prac-
tically In state at the hotel. Numbers Of
old friends from the South and West who
have been more or less associated with him
politically in years gone by, passed by the
coffin TO take last look at his face, and con-
versed upon the remarkable career of the
Californian. On the coffin lay large
wreath Of flowers, the gift Of near friend.
Gwin had been spending the summer at
West Point and Washington. About week
ago be was attacked with dysentery, which
caused his death. For some time be has
been on intimate terms with Senator Call,
of Florida, and he and his family cared for
the ex-senator during his sickness.
The World says: The death of Gwin re-
moves much oral testimony against Henley,
which was expected to be used 10 the next
Congress 10 unseat him. Last winter he
devoted his attention to the defeat Of the
Nicaraguan Canal scheme. He was 40 sp-
plicant for the place Of Minister to japan
under the present administration, but The
appointment was refused him ostensibly on
account Of his age.
New York. Sept. L-The remains Of the |
late Senator Gwin, Of California, were sent
home 10 day. Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express
were entrusted with the proper delivery Of
the body.

NUMBERING CHINAMEN.

One Of the grossest outrages ever perpe.
trsted In this country 10 tie murder of The
Chinese miners at the Rock Spring coal
mines In Wyoming, where an unknown
number Of Chinese, variously estimated ii
from thirty 70 fifty, were shot down In cold
blood while being driven from the works
and their homes. Their only offense seems
to have been that they were Chinese miners,
working In the Rock Spring coal mines in
competition with whites. II needs no reiter-
alton here that we are opposed to Chinese
labor. The history Of that issue here .
dozen years ago is all that need be referred
10. But the anti Chinese sentiment In Mon
tans never went to the extent Of dispossess-
ing any human being Of . dollar rightfully
his, or Of q privilege or immunity any citi-
zen or any one entitled to become such had
or might acquire, much less to expelling
him by unlawful force or q resort to infs-
nous procedure. There Ii nothing TO JUS
tIfy or condone the Rock Springs outrage.
1t was . cold-blooded murder of human
beings working ITO better their cond ition,"
as all Of US do, and II there Is justice In
this land, the perpetrators should be hunted
out, prosecuted and punished TO the extent
OF the law. The very fact that they are .
helpless, Isolated people, is additional rea-
son why they should be protected or those
who persecute them be visited with severest
penalty. The powerful can protect them
Selves IL Is the weak in whose behalf the
strong arm Of justice should strike.
The Union Pacific Railway Company en-
ployed these Chinese miners. 1t has had
them for the past ten years. The Rock
springs coal mines do not afford continuous
work. During the fall and winter months
there is market for all the coal that can be
mined. During the summer months the
demand Is diminished. The Company use
The Cinnamon In their mines when their
labor Is needed there and puts them on track
work during the summer. 1t Is claimed the
white miners will not do track work ss Chi
namen will; that the rates for mimi z coal
are high, and that this method gave white |
coal miners almost continuous employment |
and prevented the troubles that would arise |
rom throwing half Of them out of employ
nent during the summer months. There
may be something in this, but 1t would seem |
he railroad company could better afford to |
surplus in the summer and
employ only citizen labor In the mines or on
he track, where one ordinary white laborer
will do the work Of two average Cinnamon.
Perhaps this will be done hereafter: doubt
ess 1t would have been better to do It here
ofore. But no policy that has prevailed,
Tor any conditions that exist, even pslliates
he infamous crime that has been commit
ed. Let us be rid Of Chinese labor, but let
be done legally and with supreme respect
or the lives and property Of those who are
'oor and weak. Nothing will justify assas-
iuation.

A DISASTROUS CYCLONE.


WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, O., Sept. O.
The cyclone, which came upon this town
last evening At O'Clock, almost completely
demolished it. Not . single store facing
Central Square, out Of forty, Is left intact,
and the majority Of them are leveled. Abou,
200 residences were destroyed, and the
streets are so filled with debri, that It IL
almost impossible to pass. The total mum.
Der known to be dead Is five, and about 900
are injured. One If the latter of these was
the manager Of the telephone exchange, who
was hurled across the street, and had one
arm, one leg, and collar bone broken.
Some houses were lifted bodily and carried
several hundred feet, and then dashed TO the
ground with terrific force. The loss will
exceed one million dollars. Washington
was the county seat Of Fsyette county, and
. very prosperous town. The storm only
lasted about two minutes. The track Of
destruction was only about half. mile wide
1t it, greatest extent. and considerable dam
age was done At Cambridge, indiana, and

CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Its constitutionali.y to be Tested in the Courts.


NEW York, Sept. "A suit has been
commenced In the United States Circuit
Court TO test the constitutionality of the
Civil Service law. On the petition to-day
OF United States ex rel. James A. Hlnckley,
quo warranto order was granted by Judge
Wallace, returnable on the 18th inst, requir-
Ing Dorman b. Eaton and other Civil Ser
vice Commissioners 10 show cause before
the court why the defendant exercised un-
constitutional powers. The petition sets
forth In the complaint the acts and duties of
the Commissioners under the Civil Service
Act, and urges that the defendants, under
the Civil Service Act, are limiting the pow.
ers OF and divesting the President Of the
duties and responsibilities vested In him by
tho constitution, limiting his power and
choice OF nominations TO persons presented
to him by the defendants, and prohibiting
said President from appointing any other
citizens or persons to office, and so to COM
pei the President to submit the qualifica.
tions and fitness Of nominations Of persons
for public service to them, instead of to the
Senate of the United States, after the nomi-
nation, as required by the constitution. 1t
10 urged in the petition that the President
cannot exercise his constitutional power to
appoint in his discretion. That the defend.
ants, under color of the Civil Service Act,
supervise the conduct Of the officers of the
Government mentioned in sections ii to Is
OF the act, and that they have usurped and
exercised powers snd duties which cannot
legally be delegated to, nor invested in them,
by the citizens of the United States. The
complainant then asks for writ compelling
the Commissioners TO answer by what right
they exercise or claim to exercise the right
or power, or do the duties, acts or things set
forth, and that a rule be made that this in
formation be filed, and that the defendants
Aforesaid show cause why the aforesaid in
formation should not be filed.

From the Livingston Enterprise.
Some Of our Territorial contemporaries, in
discussing the proposition of the Bismarck
penitentiary authorities to board Montana's
surplus convicts 1t reduction from their
present cost, are opposing the plan on the
assumption that 1t 10 scheme to all the Bis
marck penitentiasy. and ask the U. 8. au-
thorities TO enlarge that building. The
prison at Bismarck was built by the Terri
tory on IN appropriation made the year
when tho Legislature located public build
ings ct every prosperous town in Dakota.
All the same the Enterprise opposes the
scheme. We hope Montana has not yet
reached the ebb where she IL forced to call
upon sister Territories 70 help her out-not
just yet. Speaking Of that Bismarck prison,
We wonder how Montana would feel II the
next Legislature should get together and
make appropriations for . university ct Deer
Lodge and another at Glendive; an insane
asylum 1t Livingston and another 1t Mis-
souls; . penitentiary 1t Billings and another
q Dillon; college Of agriculture 1t Boze-
man, school Of miues 1t Butte, state nor.
NAL school 1t Virginia City, . school Of
navigation at Fort Benton, and training
establishment for aspiring stockgrowen It

should appoint commission empowered TO
locate capital and pledged 10 locate Il Il
Helena. That 10 about the way they did In
DAKOTA. When We consider that memorable
assembly Of saees from the land OF the d.
kotos, We feel - II there were depths which
Aontsns's latest Legislature did not think
Of attempting 70 fsthom.
