A New Telephone Discovery.

terieS

The U. S. Telephone Co., at Mad
son, Ind. has devised an improve
ment in the contraction of tele
phones which bids fair to revolu
tiOnize the most of telephone scr
vice and at the same time an Il!
most perfect system. The clear
Tess and dis:inctness that results
in the use of their telephones is won
derful. The telephones were tried
on Il line twenty miles long, and a
reporter carried on a conversation
which was far more distinct than
for a few blocks with the ordinary
telephones. There was none of
the inferna! humming that is al
most always heard in other tele
phones. Not a sound marred the
clearness Of the conversation. The
telephones are made to work on
che club system, with trunk lines
and requires no Exchanges. AS
the Company sells the telephones
outright, consequently there is no
exorbitant rents to pay.
BY sending your address and a
postage stamp to the U. 8. Tele
phone Co., at Madison, Ind, you
will receive an illustrated circular.
giving description Of telephones
with prices, SC. The Company
have been in operation for years,
and are composed of reliable bust
ness men.

China Aroused.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Herald's
 Washington special says the following
 cablegram has been received by the
 Chinese minister from the governor-gen-
 eral of Canton, China: "Canton, Feb.
 g, ISS6.-Cablegram has been received
 from Chinese merchants in San Francis.
 co, stating that the Chinese in the
 United States have been most outrage ously attacked. Hearing this news the people of Canton are furious and retalia- tlon IS threatened. How did the Ameri- can government act in the matter? Can you not ask the President to adopt measures for the protection of the Chinese and for the prevention of such acts, in order to preserve good friend ship between the two governments? Otherwise the consequences will be serious. [Signed:] Chang Chee Lung."
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The Ex- aminer this morning had column ex- planatory of circulating reports on re- ceipt of the Chinese message by the President. The investigation of Col. Bee, the consul-general of China at San Francisco, into this matter has convinced that officer that it was cruel outrage. perpetrated by workmen he said, who were supposed to be Americans upon inotfensive people. He so reported to the home government The instructions of the Chinese minister, received from his government, are startling. He was directed to demand from the United States the total amount of damages sus- tained by the Chinese and the combined of those engaged in the kill. ing if it could be proven. This was an If the United States refused to comply with these demands the Presi | deut is to be informed that the Chinese government will immediately proceed to collect the indemnity from American citizens in business in imperial territory and to withdraw then then protection from them, which means nat they would be ordered to leave China at once. Simultaneously with his, information has come to the state

Chinese ambassador to the courts of St. James and St. Cloud, was about to re- turn home totake high position in the imperial council of state, and would insist upon stern measures being taken against the United States, to mark the displea- sure Of China a. the outrages which the American authorities permit their citi- zens to commit on her people, without any movement to prevent them, or pun ish those who openly avow participation in them. This was the situation when the president sent his message to con- gress on Thursday last. It will be seen that he denies the right of the Chinese government to demand an indemnity for property destroyed. This Is the point upon which the instructions Of the inn perial council to the minister here ad- init of. no concessions. It has been known for month past that the Chinese minister here will return home very soon. It is learned that he will take with him the final conclusion of the president in regard to this matter. These simple facts, the critic says, are from undoubted authority and will give to the country an idea to the comprehension of the presidents past message, in it's full imDortance

A marked change has come over tn
 mining industry during the past few years. The days of booms and biz stock settlements are drawing to a close and more attention is being paid to mining for mineral. Much study is beino directed to the problem of reducing low grade ores, at a minimum of cost and great strides have been made in this direction, during the past five years, while a still further improvement my be expected during the next five years We are apt to forget how young the bus. ness of silver mining is, in this country What has been accomplished is bu; trifie, compared to what we may expec,. in the future. It is by no means un. reasonable to anticipate that, before many years, ten dollar silver rock will bc regarded as a regular bonanza. When that time comes, the territories will not have to wait long for admission as states on the ground of insufficient population

ClrY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
CHIN MAKES A STAND.

The telegraph brings grave and inn portant news, in regard to the Chinese question. It seems that the Chinese government has at last made stand, in reference to the eviCtions and outrages on Chinese subjects on the Pacific coast. The Chinese minister at Washington is said to have handed an ultimatum to President Cleveland, in accordance with instructions received from his govern ment. In this an indemnity for all the recent losses suffered by his countrymen, in the United States, is demanded If this request IS not acCeded, il is threaten ed that the indemnity will be collected from American merchants in China and that protection will be withdrawn from them.
 It is not at all surprising that such step has been taken, by China. The only wonder is that something of the sort has not been done before. Ger ,ainly no civilized country would have so long allowed its subjects-residing here under treaty obligations-to be treated as the Chinese have lately been, without making very vigorous protest and fol lowing mp that protest, if unheeded, by prompt action. At the same time, it is difficult to see what claim China can have on the United States Our govern ment has done all in it's power to pro- tect subjects of China, whenever it's as- sstance has been called upon. Any claim for damages should apparently, be made on the county or city governments, where the damages were sustained, as was done in San Francisco, during the Kearney riots, eight years ago, when S3oo,ooo was recovered from that city. This Chinese question threatens to be- come almost as troublesome to our country as was that of Negro slavery. It will need the best efforts of our great est minds to pilot us safely through the dangers that now threaten. Meantime, it will be we'll for communities through out the country, to act with caution and avoid throwing unnecessary difficulties in the way of the national government

The board advises that the sole ground on which the Illinois lodge ostraci2ed these three lodges seems to be their continued allegiance to Eng land and therefore directs that the re- lations of the Grand Lodge of England with the Grand Illnes lodge be severed, and that the pttent granted to the re- presentative in England of the Illinois lodge be withdrawn.
