"Bull Dog" Kelly on Trial.

ST. VINCENT, September 28.-Much eX-
citement prevails here over the trial of Ed
Kelly, alias Bull Dog, who was arrested
here Augast 3lston charge of the MUIR
der of Robert Baird of Missoula, Montana,
particulars of which appeared in full in
the Pioneer Press. He was taken to Hal
lock, thence to Crookston, and the exami-
being fixed to be held here. The prisoner
was brought here last night by Sheriff
Vanstrum of Kittson county and was ar
raigned before United States Commissions
er Ives. The court, after hearing a few
preliminaries, adjourned the case until 2
o. m. At the afternoon session the first
wisness called on behalf of the prosecution
was Manuel barnard. He testified to be-
ing in the company of one Henry Myers
and the murdered man Baird, on the 9th
of November, 1884, going through the
Kootnenay trail, about twenty miles south
of the line of the Canadian Pacific railway !;
that he heard a shot, and looking behind
him saw Baird fall from his horse dead.
A second shot was fired at Myers, who
was riding to the rear of Baird, but missed
its mark. A man arose from an ambush
and fired second shot at Myers, which
took effect in his thigh. The witness then
described the man who fired the shot, and
identified Kelly as the man in question.

which was pulling westward heavy
freight that day, set fire to the hay, and
also set fire to the meadows in several

The Stockholm Calamity.

LONDON, September 28.-The following
additional particulars of the recent calam-
ity at Stockholm have just been received:
Nine. NiIlson had just finished song
and was bowing her adieus when the en-
thusiastic crowd began to rush toward
Carlos XIII Square. The police Vainly
tried to break the rush. Women and
children screamed, causing panic. A
horrible scene ensued for fifteen minutes.
Dresses were torn from women and many
persons were trampled under foot while
fighting for their lives like maniacs. The
night was clear and the moon was shining
bright. A large staff of physicians were
busy all night caring for the sufferers.
Many persons are still missing and it is
feared they were drowned in the canal.
Nine. Nillson has disbursed thousands of
kroners in behalf of the wounded and pays
the funeral expenses Of those who were
killed. She gave a concert last evening
in behalf of the sufferers.

Poisoned Johnson Grass.

The reports from Montana about the
poisoning of cattle there from eating
Johnson grass, rather surprises Texans,
who have so largely and satisfactorily
used this grass. DR.. G. B. Johnston sug-
gests that the grass in Montana had blight
which might be productive of ergotlsm; !;
but this disease is not quick in its fatal ef-
fects, while the Montana cattle seemed to
die as from strychnine poisoning.

Among the members of the syndicate is

Movement Against MongoIians.

PORTLAND, September ga large and
enthusiastic meeting closed late last night
at Seattle, Washington territory. 1t was
a convention of laborers called together to
try to devise some means of Kidding the
country of the burdensome Chinese. Del
egates were present from the various labor
societies and organizations in the follow
ing places: Tacoma, New Castle, Rento,
Black Diamond, Colby Sumner, Squak,
Whatcom and seattle, besides a number OF
citizens not in any labor society. The
organization effected the following cleo
tion of officers President, Mayor r j.
Weisbach, of Ttcoma; vice president,
Judge PIP. Good; secretary, Walter
Walker; assistant secretary, Dr.. A. Gallo
way; treasurer, M. McMillen of Seattle.
Many speeches were delivered, and
each utterance that could be construed to
mean expulsion of the Chinese, eiCher by
peaceful means or if necessary by force,
was greeted with applause. Some of the
speakers assured the audience that riot
would surely be the result il this question
is not speedily solved; but most Of them
advocated cool but determined action.
The following resolutions were adopted.
ResozUed, That the present eXcired state
of the people on this coast and the depres-
sed condition of industries aud commerce,
are due to and directly traceable TO the
persistant refusal OF congress to legislate
in the interests of the people.
| Resolued, That it is our firm and stead
fast resolution to rid our territory and if
possible the United States from the pres
ence of Chinese slave labor, and we call
upon all citizens to aid and assist us in
this great an important object.
ReSozued, That to accomplish this end
we ask all citizens to Immediately dis
charge all Chinese in their employ.
Reso1yed, That on the return of the del
egates to their respective localities they
shall call mass meetings to be held on
October 81 for the purpose of appointing
committees to notify the Chinese to leave
on or before November 1st, 1885. These
delegates shall call mass meetings of
citizens to hear the report of said commit
! tees on November 9th, 1885.
! ResoEoed, That these delegates inform
the committee at Seattle Immediately after
their respective meetings on November 9th
1885, as to the action which has been
taken in this great reform.
Reso1ued, That the Western Washington
Congregational Association, in asking for
the unqualified repeal of the Chinese re-
striction act, misrepresent the sentiments
of the people of Puget SoHnd and the Pa
cific slope.
Reso7ved, That in adopting the above
resolutions we are guided by the conVic-
ton that the enforcement of the same will
eradicate the Chinese evil, and we will
hold ourselves not responsible for any acts
of violence which may arise from nom
compliance with these resolutions.
The meeting then adjourned.

OverprOductiOn-

New York SUN.
Senator Edmunds, who has just
returned from England, is report.
cd as saying that the depression Of
business in Great Britain is caused
by overproduction, and that the
remedy for the evil is q protective
tariff. His idea seems to be that
foreign markets being glutted with
British goods, foreign goods must
he excluded from British markets
in order to stimulate home con-
sumption. This is the only way
in which protection could be Of
service. How it could render this
service we leave to Mr.. Edmunds
to explain. To our uninstructed
intellect it looks as if protection
would only increase the cost of
British goods and still further re-
strict the market for them.
It appears to us also that Mr..
Edmunds is inaccurate in saying
that there is an over-production Of
British manufactures. Mr.. Cos
chen, in his recent Manchester ad-
dress, demonstrated pretty thor.
oughly that the surplus stocks Of
staple goods in Great Britain are
no larger now than they were five
years ago. All that has been pro
durcd during the five years ha.
been consumed. This is what
ought to he expected. Men dc

about, a part of their productive
machinery has to lie idle, and som
of their workmen are left withou
employment. Hence, there
distress, but tho distress is due t
diminished consumption, and nc
to over-production.
The most plausible cxplanatio
of the prevailing commercial d'
preston in Great Britain IN
elsewhere is found in the rccel

A NYAcK New York; doctor had .
queer incident with acigar in that town.
He bought cigar as he went homo to
his dinner. After the meal he bit one end
of the cigar, and, after leisurely smok-
ing for few minutes, he was startled
By loud explosion. which knocked him
from his easy-chair. He was blinded,
and severely burned about the face and
head. Fragments Of tho cigar were
found scattered about the room, and on
empty shell Of twenty-five caliber
pistol-cartridge was picked up. An
experienced oculist has charge of the
injured man. It is feared that he may
lose his sight. It is not thought that
the cigar was known to have contained
the cartridge when sold, and the dealer
says that the box from which the cigar
was taken was received by him from
the manufacturer but few days ago.
The maker, who is one Of the most OK
tensiye cigar manufacturers in the
country, can not account for the cart
ridge being in the cigar.
