The Rock Springs Trouble.


The Union Pacific recently imported
a large number of Chinese to take the
place of white men employed at their
mines ii Rock Springs, Carbon, Evanston
and other mining points in western Wyo-
ming This so 1ncensed the miners that
movement was organized for systematic
attack upon the Chinese. The initiative
was taken by the Rock Springs miners ON
the end inst. The outrage commenced
in mine No. 6, where three Chinese miners
were attacked and killed. Then the riot
commenced all over town, even women join
ing with loaded shotguns in their hands.
Every Cbinaman, over 500 in number,
was driven out of town and sought refuge
by flight to the hills Fifty houses be-
longing to the railroad company and fifty
more owned by the Cinnamon were
burned. Many of the Chinese were killed
outright and others died in the hills from
the effects of their wounds. One estimate
places the number of killed at fifty.
Later advices state that the military
under Col. Anderson, the 9th Infantry,
have been stationed at Rock Springs,
Evanston and Almy, guarding the COM
pany's property and that no farther
trouble is apprehended. The Cinnamon
driven into the hills are gradually being
picked up by the trains and taken to
Evanston. A Cheyenne dispatch of the
9TH states that the sheriff of Sweetwater
county has arrested twenty-five supposed
leaders Of the Rock Springs riot, including
Isaiah Whitehouse, member-elect of the
legislature. They were taken to Green
River, the county seat, and jailed and will
have preliminary hearing tomorrow.
More arrests will follow. The charges
against the prisoners are murder, arson,
rioting and robbery.

will make trial run this week. he
tells me that he has no doubt of the en-
tire success of the trial and if the result
is according to his expectations he ex-
poets to keep the furnace hot all winter
and an indefinite time longer. He says
it is not such difficult matter to take
the Stag out of mineral-bearing rock

should be made-an opinion which he
expects to prove correct by practical
operation.
Now as to our trip around the Park:
We left Mammoth Hot Springs on Fri
day morning, eleven strong-ten on
horseback and Geo. Knight in charge OF
the mess wagon. The round dozen was
broken on the start by the fact that W.
E. Harmon's horse strayed from the
Springs and he did not find it until it
had returned toward home as far as
Yankee Jim's. We camped the first
night out from the Springs at Norris
Geyser Basin and Saturday night found
us pitching tent in the rain at Upper
Geyser Basin. There we were Joined
bv MIR. Harmon who had got revenge
on his troublesome horse by riding it
that day from the Springs. Sunday we
spent looking at the great geysers and
yesterday, Monday, started for the Falls
About half way between Upper BASIN
and Firehole we met Brownlow L.
Gray who had ridden up to meet us.
He, Geo. H. Wright, H. L. Burton and
the writer cut loose from the main party
at Firehole and starting from there at
80 p. m. yesterday rode 80 miles over
the mountains to the Falls last evening.
This forenoon we spent in looking at
the incompatible scenery at that point
and at 1890 started for this station, Mr..
Burton having remained at the Falls
while his place in the quartette was
| filled by c. T. Haraden who with his
wife has been running the station at
the Falls-the best in the Park-and is
now on his way to take a position IN
the dining car and restaurant service OF
! the Northern Pacific. He and Mr.. Gray
are to 90 on to the Springs tomorrow
morning and, if no accident occurs, the
evening will find Mr.. Wright and my
self in Cooke. The main party reached
the Falls and camped there about noon
to-day. All were feeling well and en-
joying themselves hugely. From the
Falls they go to Yellowstone Lake.
Our sub-party reached here on our
horses at $50 and are now snugly
ensconsed around Uncle John Yancey's
cheerful fire--happy and contented.

Powerful Medicine.

As physician, the colored gentle

who graduate with honors refuse to

skill and spurn his roots and herbs.

A singular Accident.

As Mr.. Chat Ogden and sister were driv-
ing out home after the concert at the High
street NJ. E. church, night before last, most
singular accident happened to their horse.
On first starting from the church Mr.. Ogden
noticed that the horse went a little lame, but
concluding that it had lost shoe thought
nothing more of the matter. When on the
National pike, out near the place where the
tol-gate used to stand, there suddenly came a
crack-like pistol shot, Mr.. Ogden says
and the horse at the same moment almost fell
down On getting out 10 investigate the
matter he found the animal had broken a leg
Just above the knee. A neighbor coming
along at the moment, the horse was LETT by
the roadside until next morning, when it was
shot, and Mr.. and Miss Ogden were taken
heme by their friend. Mr.. Ogden says the
horse never stumbled, but Just broke his leg
while trotting quietly along.

There was handsome turnout of Fourth
Ward Republicans at their caucus, at Bark.
ley's grocery, last evening, the attendance
numbering 70 OF so and the greatest interest
and spirit being manifested i'll all proceedings
| Capt A. S. Bushnell was elected chairman
and Joseph X. Parker secretary. The follow
| ing lii ket for ward officers was nominated,
and the Republicans OF the East End propose
TO elect it: For Councilman, Hugh Russell
| For members Board of Education, long term
| F. B. Bingham, short term Hon. E. G. Dial.
Assessor, Joseph X. Parker. This is the first
| of the ward caucuses and seems TO have done
| its work in a manner TO set an example to
| Republicans of other wards
1t may do no good, but can certainly do no
harm, and will sssuredly bring TO the GLOBE
REPUBLIC clear conscience, to make the US
Ial appeal with regard to nomination of can
dIdates for ward assessors. Some gross mis-
takes were made last spring, in spite of the
hints and warnings given, the Fourth ward
furnishing leading instance. The Democrat
elected assessor in that ward last April was
so inefficient that some of the oldest residents
in the ward were not returned by him at all.
and his books were in such shape that much
of the work had TO be done all over again.
This Is only one instance, and the mistake
was no. made in that ard alone lti too often
the case that caucuses are influenced by per-
sonal feelings, and make nominations fer this
Office without thought TO the capacity of
the nominee to do the work, and the con-
sequence is the community suffers and Of
fcials who have enough of their Cwn work to
do are obliged to add that of these incapables
1t is possible for Republicans or Democrats
either, in any of the wards to find men among
themselves who are wiling and able to act as
assessors efficiently, and such men should be
selected. This matter is not one" to be trifed
with.
The true inwardness regarding the Mayor
and Marshal bills now pending at Columbus
is coming out. On the authority of Demo-
cratic city official who is inside of matters in
that connection, 1T is now stated that our
sweet-scented shrub of legislature will take
no action on either the bill making
the Mayors salaried Office or that
abolishng the Office of City Marshal, until
after the April election, when it will be seen
whether the Democratic or Republican can
didates are elected That is il the Demo-
Gratis elect their men the bills will be defeated
and the present regime continued and if the
Republicans are successful the bills will pass.
Such course is worthy of such legislature,
at least.

Shady Side sugar plantation, Louisiana, where
the parents reside, and had been sent north
for a collegiate course at Wooster University.
His age was about fourteen years, and he was
bright promising youth. 1t is understood
at this writing that the remains will be
brought to Springfield for int,rment, but at

The Way You See II.

The reader will remember the old
story of the Chinese traveller in Eng
land. In those days, not long since,
when the pleasant shores and banks
of the Thames were lined by water
men, our Chinese traveller was landed
by one of these ancient worthless who
had a wooden leg. 1t was a fact, and
it struck him; the stranger saw that
the wooden leg was used to stand IN
the water, while the other was kept
high and dry. The economy of this
fact struck him very much; he saw in
it strong evidences of design. and he
wrote home that lin England one-leg-
ged men were kept for watermen, to
the saving of all injury resulting to
health, shoes or stockings from stand
ing in the water" The fact was cor
rect, the inference or generalization
was ludicrously wrong.
There is story told by the once very
popular writer, Dr. John Moore, of
French student in London who lodged
in the same house with poor man i'll
of fever, and who was continually
teased by his nurse to drink, although
quite nauseated by the liquids she Of
fered him. AT last, when she was
more importunate than usual, he
whispered: For heavens sake, bring
me salt herring. and l will drink as
much as you pleaser' The woman in
dulged his request. the man perspired
profusely and recovered; the French
student inserted in his notebook this
aphorism: "A salt herring cures an
Englishman in his fever" On his
return to France he prescribed the
same remedy for the first patient in
fever he was called to attend; the pa
tient died. The student inserted in
his notebook: IN. b. Though a salt
herring cures an Englishman, it kills
a Frenchman." This may be satire
upon that rapidity of generalization
for which our French neighbors are re-
markable. But, true story or joke. it
certainly illustrates the false method
in mind that is called observation

ening, and adjourned until Monday next 10
consult and arrive at decision in the mat
ter. The case was argued ably and exhaus-
lively by Mr.. Hagan for the city, and by Mr..

out in the testimony that, so far from the city
having bonanza" which was TIE express
sion used, from the increase of taxes received,
a careful estimate showed they would be
losers by ten dollars per year. Also that, ill.,
stead OF disseminating the school in Lsgonda

ing to replace the present

tinuipg it. The allegation that the protesters
had not been fully and properly notified of

of the joint boards was shown to be not sup
ported by facts, as the city papers have pub
lished full accounts of every stage of the
proceedings. The law was quoted literally,

shown further that the proposition Of trans

way into print through Leeds journal.
The Duke took occasion not long ago
to reason with her upon the peculiari-

which prevent her from being popular
like her sister-in-law, the Princess of
Wales. A royal row ensued, but
wound up with the announced resolve
of the daughter of the late Car to
model her compartment in future after
that of the Danish Princess. 1T hap

is slightly lame; and the Duchess OF
Ediuburg, who was present and deter
mined TO carry out the suggestions of
her lord to the letter, went round the
room behind the Princess and mimick-

supposed, matters were not at all
