Dealers at Swords Point.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 1S.--0wing to the rapid
growth Of the trade In oleomargarine in
this city, meeting OF butter dealers was
called for the purpose Of organizing cam.
psign against the bogus article. The
members Of the Anti-O Oleomargstine Asso-
citation responded very generally, but the
outside butter dealers didinot attend ex-
cept in two instances, one OF whom was
the head oi the opposition association last
year, and the other neutral. Under the
circumstances II was not thought desirable
70 proceed with an organization, bat on
the contrary II was urged that Q call
should be issued for o mass meeting OF
butter dealers. irrespective OF either oil the
old associations. Such q plan was agreed
upon, and the old association adjourned
to meet on Wednesday, the S0th inst.
The butter dealers present were then
called 10 order, and committee was ap-
pointed to issue q call for mass meeting
Ot butter dealers 10 be held at the reading
room Of the Merchantsr Exchange next
Wednesday, II being agreed that the call
should embrace the appointment Of Judges
10 award premiums for butter exhibits at
the st. Louis Fair. Further than that
there was no discussion, and the question
olwar or no war remains unsettled.
There are two elements Of the butter
dealers, and each was organized in an as
sOeiatiOn last year. The one Of which Mr..
Keen is President made O hard campaign
against bogus butter Of all descriptions.
The other one was in favor Of allowing
the sale OF bogus butter, as 1t was sold
elsewhere, The anti-bogus butter society
employed attorneys and chemists, and
kept detective regularly;employed, and
the campaign cost the members q great
deal Of money. Many Of them are not
ready To- go down into their pockets 10 the
saue extent this year, and It seems very
probable that the fight against bogus but
ter will be very feeble. In the meantime
agents Of Chicago factories canvassed the
city, and It is claimed that one dealer
bought 1000 pounds Of the deceptive arti-
Gle, while others gave orders to be de-
Ayered month"; from now.

OTTAWA, oNr., Sept. 1S.-Sevcral meet
ings Of unemployed workmen at Victoria,
B. c., have been held recently to protest
against the employment Of Chinese on
the public works and in the factories,
and il is feared collision may take place
at any time between them and the Celes.
tials. A few days ago a Large body Of
white workmen marched through, the
streets, visiting all the factories where
Chinese are employed, and demanded
that the Cinnamon be discharged. Sew
eral OF the employers promised to COM
ply, while others refused to be intimidated
into making any such promises.
Another dispatch says: Every white
miner and laborer about the mines quit
work yesterday. There has been no dis.
turbance, but the situation is grave. The
scene OF the massacre presents a dark pic
ture, the Chinese occupying freight cars
and the troops camping near. The mill

enforced II there ia any disorde attempt.
Affairs here look very dubious.

THE wYoMiNG MASSACRE.
An OniciAl IuTssugRtion of 'he AflAir-The
Chinese Consul.

Rock sPRINGs, Wy, Sept. 1S-The
Government directors OF the Union
Pacific, on tour OF inspection, arrived
fsom the East yesterday, and have been
looking into the cause OF the late riot.
They were met by a committee OF citizens,
who presented over thirty closely written
pages Of evidence, showing the anti
Chinese demonstration to have been the
outgrowth OF an accumulation OF griev-
anCes under which the miners hsdsuhered
for several years. The directors will con.
tinue the investigation to-day, leaving for
the West in the afternoon.
Three Chinese Consuls arrived yester-
day to inquire into the causes and effects
Of the late riot, in behalf Of the Chinese
Government. They are General Bee, Of
San Francisco; Hy- Young. Foy, Of Wash
ington, and General Tsing, OF New York,
aud are accompanied by an interpreter.
They were closeted with their own people
most OF tue day, and it is impossible to
learn Just now what they have accom-.
plished. They will remain several days.
Assistant General Superintendent Dick
inson and Governor Warren and Superin-
tendent Warrel are also here presumably
to ssaiat the Chinese officials In their in-
vestigations. They began taking tes-
timony to-day.
CnEYESNE, Wy Sept. 1S.-The Chinese
are las; leaving Rock Springs, being afraid
TO resume work, aud it is confidently ex-
pected that the whites will soon be ena.
bIed to commence operations. The road
west from Rock Springs is lined with
Cinnamon with their faces turned toward
the setting SUI. The white miuers are
greatly encouraged over the present pros:
pecs, and an amicable adjustment be-
tween the company and the knights OF
Labor is expected Immediately. Cover
nor Warren and Government directors are
now in the camp.
Attorney General Campbell left Chey-
enne for Rock Springs last evening to
prosecute the participators in the recent
massacre. Rumors are rite that further
trouble at Rock Springs is expected, but
no particulars can be ascertained.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-Nellie Dean, the
daughter Of the millionaire lumber mer-
chant Thaddeus Dean, of this city, who
obtained work in a knitting factory at
Rockford at sixty cents day, abandoned
her place to-day owing TO the publicity
given to the affair. She was to receive
81 from her father for every cent she
earned. When she applied for work she
was placed at mending mittens between
two Swedish women who could not speak
aword Of English. She started in energet.
icaliy, however, and worked faithfully and
hard. The general air rofTefnement led to
an inquiry as to the identity OF thestranger
and as result when the facts became
known she at once became an object Of
curious interest. Miss Dean is refined and
bright and talks freely about her work.
She says that she did not intend to take q
permanent situation, and certainly not
after the publicity given the affair. She
proudly exhibited o draft for 81, however,
a..sYou see I'm such q good
worker they raised my salary the first
day." The knitting company drew up
S6ue excellent recommendations OF her
ihtustry and ability, which will doubtless
ha valuable should she deaire to seek
aiiother position. The draft reads:
Pay to the order, Of Miss Nellie Dean 81
for ONE days work in our mending and
mating department.
The company supplemented this with q
certificate Of the good quality Of her work.
When her father was spoken to this
evening he remarked: Thank Heaven |

she worked one day and quit. It would
have been to her credit to nave remained
