Truly yours, one who has enjoyed the

A Chinese MaSsArrp.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, April THE
81 amship Oceanic, which arrived this after
noon, brings news Of a terrible religious
massacre in certain sections of China From
the accounts contained in the Shanghai
Mercury, it appears that the Viceroy
OF the Yum Nav and Kive ChOng prov
inces issued decree last month command
ing the destruction of all Roman Catholic
converts. He also ordered all the Roman
Catholic converts and all foreigners killed.
Reports had reached Shanghai that several
Roman Catholic settlements mad already
been destroyed and several hundred con-
verts killed. The village of Kinyaping,
two days journey from Tall, had been de
stroyed and four converts AMI two priests
killed. The only reason assigned by the
Chinese Viceroy for the massacre was that
the Roman Catholics were going to revolt
against the Chinese Government.

look.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Retums Of
April to the Department of Agriculture,
indicate reduction of over ten per cent of
last years area in winter wheat. The
aggregate shortage amounts to 3,O0O,0 900
acres. A decrease Is reported In every
State except Oregon. 1t is 90 per cent in
Kansas and Virginia. 20 in Mississippi, Is
in California, IA in Alabama, IL in Tennes-
see, Illinois and Missouri, II in New York
and North Carolina, 10 in Maryland and
Texas, s in New Jersey, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Indiana, i'm Georgia and
Ohio, 6 in Pennsylvania and Delaware, 5 in
Michigan, 8 in Arkansas and in South
Carolina. The present condition of wheat
as reported, is worse than in 1888. 1t is
a per cent. against 90 last year and so In
1888. In 1881. the year of the lowest ie-
cent date of yield, the condition April
SIS, and serious loss was sustained after
ward. The real status of the crop will be
better shown month hence, when the
vitality OF the roots has been demonstrated
and the character of the spring determined.
On the present showing tina reduction of the
yield on the basis of last years promises to
be 100000 bushels on account of the ie-
duced area, and more than 10000, 900 from
winter killing and low vitality. Whether
the crop will exceed 10000, 600 bushels
or fall short of it depends upon
the reliability of present appear
ances and on future conditions
affecting the growth and ripening. The
soil was I'm bad condition ut the time of
seeding on the Atlantic Coast from New
jersey to Georgia, and i'm West Virginia
and Tennessee. 1t was better i'm the South
west and in Missouri, Illinois and Michigan.
In the Ohio valley it is scarcely i'm medium
condition. Damage by the Hessian fly was
net severe, though worse i'm Indiana, Hi
nOis, Missouri and Kansas, where injuries
have occurred in three-tenths of the reported
territory. The acreage of rye has been de-
creased In about the same proportion as
wheat, but the condition of the crop is de-
cided!y better, the average being 81 per
cent.

INDIAN MASSACRE.

The Northwest Indians XIII q Number OF
Whites-An Indian Agent Among the
Number.
WINNIPEG, April 10.-Word has just
been received from Battleford of the mas.
sacre of white settlers at Frog Lake, north.
west of Fort Pitt. The following are the
names of the victims:
Il. T. Quinn, Indian agent.
John Delaney, farm instructor.
Geo. w. LantOck and wife.
Father Taford.
Father Lemars.
Two other men, the names Of whom are
not learned, were killed.
Mrs. Delaney is prisoner. 1t is no,
known what has become of Cameron, the
Hudson Bay Company's agent. Word was
brought to Battleford yesterday by W
Quinn, nephew of the Indian agent,
who escaped. The wire between Battle
ford and Clark's Crossing has been lying on
the ground and the circuit was established
for short time, allowing messages TO come
through. 1t is stated in the same message
that BattlefOrd Is surrounded by thousands
of Indians, but no attack has been made
on the barracks. Indian Agent Rea has
not been killed, as was reported. The Hud-
SOC Bay officer has received intelligence by
way of Edmonton and Calgary that the
Saddle Lake Indians have raided the Gov
eminent warehouse at that point and have
gone to join the rebels. The Gov.
eminent has also received cipher
message from Prince Albert dated March
81. which states that the country is being
secured for provisions and asking for sup
plies. A dispatch states that the Indians
are quiet, except the Sioux and
fifty Crees who have joined the
rebels. The Indians on Frog Lake
reserve are all Crees. They number about
two hundred. There was Roman Catholic
school for Indian children at Frog Lake
which was in prosperous condition last
summer. That this massacre has been the
work of Frog Indians alone does not seem
probable, as they have hitherto been quiet
and weIl-hehaved

A Difference of Opinion,

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Mr. Bayard is
one of the most extreme advocates of not
disturbing officials whose records are good
during the life of their commissions. 1t is
understood from trustworthy source that
none of the subordinate officers of the lead
ing legations will be removed, and the ma
iOrity of the Consuls will be left undis-
turbed Mr.. EndicOtt is also understood as
favoring Mr.. Bayard's views. The remain
der of the Cabinet are not of this opinion.
They believe, in the main. that all of the
Republican officials should be suppianted in
the course of a reasonable time by Demo
Gratis. If this is not done they hold it would
not be truly Democratic administration.

Coal Mine Caves In and Ten Miners are
Xxi led.

SHENANDOAH, April Yesterday after
noon one of the gangways of the Cuyler
coiliery at Eavenrun, operated by S. ~.
HeatOn & Co., caved in without warming
ent0mbing ten miners. The cave was
caused by the sudden crushing of the tim
bers. The nImes of the ten men entombed
are: Frank Mclaughlin, William Ander-
son, John Anderson, Henry Mervin, Benia-
min Mauser, Nicholas Purcell, Barney
Smith, Michael Herrity, Daniel Kenney and
John Cavanaugh. The entombed men all
had families, and the cries of their wives
and children filled the air. Exploring
parties report the mine complete wreck.
and all hope of rescuing the imprisoned
miners alive has been abandoned. The slope
is seven hundred feet deep, and is divided into
four lifts. The ten men now in the mine
were in the lower lift, and the place is
closed to the bottom of the first lift, 400
feet above. There were three openings 10
the mine, an air hole and two slopes, and
all three are closed below the first lift. The
dangerous condition of the mine not only
prevents rescuing parties from doing any
work, but fOrbids even thorough eXami-
nation of the workings. The conclusion
caused by the fall was so great that the
mine cars at the foot of the first lift were
forced up the slope a distance of fifty feet.
Miners acquainted with the workings de-
clare it doubtful whether even the bodies of
the men en:Ombed can be recovered. The
coliiery employed from $50 to 200 Hlen, but
fortunately was not in operation, or all the
men would have been lost
