Ghinamem Leaving.
CHEYENNE, Sept. 1s.--The Chinese are
fast leaving Rock Springs, being afraid
to resume work, and it Is cenhdentialiy
expected that the, whites will soon take
their old places. The road west from
Rock Springs is lined with Cinnamon
with their faces toward the setting
sun. The white miners are greatly
encouraged over the present prospects,
and all probability instead Of being
Chinese camp, it will be one employing
exclusively white labor. An amicable
adjustment between the company and the
Knights OF Labor is expected Immediately.
Gov. Warren and the government direc-
tors are now in the camp.
AttorDey-General Campbell left Chey-
enne for Rock Springs last night to
| prosecute the participants in the recent
massacre. Rumors are rife that further
trouble at Rock Springs is expected, but
| no particulars can be ascertnined.
INVESTIGATIONS BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
AND CHINESE ooNsuLs.
| Rock SPRINGS, WYOMING, Sept. 49,
| The government directors of the Union
| Pacific on tour of inspection arrived
from the east yesterday and have been
| looking into the causes of the late riot.
| They were met by committee of citizens
who presented over 80 closely written
pages of evidence showing the anti
Chinese demonstration to have been
the outgrowth of an accumulation of
grievances under which the miners had
suffered for several years. The directors
will continue 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 Gen. Bee of San
Francisco, Hy Young Foy of Washing
ton, and Gen. Using of New York. They
are accompanied by ar interpreter. They
were closeted with their own people most
of the day, and it is impossible to learn
Just now what they have accomplished.
They will remain several days. Assistant
General Superintendent Dickinson and
Governor Warren and Superintendent
Warrel are also here, presumably to assist
the Chinese officials in their investiga.
tions. They will begin. taking testimony
to-day.
The government directors at Rock
Springs, Wy, have sent dispatch to
Secretary Lamar that as the result Of
their investigation they find such con
dition of affairs here as to endanger the
property of the road and jeopardize the
interests of the government, and that tn,
, proper officers should have authority X
render assistance in protecting the com
pany's property and in aiding the road h
conduct business. Colonel Bee, one o
