THE CHINESE.

The Chinese agitation has finally
reached Ketchum and demands
SOME action on the part of every
right-thinking citizen. Our peace
and business interests largely
depend upon proper disposition
of the question and we cannot
afford to confinc our opinions to a
criticism of the accomplishments
of special clement of the people
any more than we can afford to be
passive on each and every matter
of public concern that appeals to
the judgment Of our best inhabi-
tants. The KEYSTONE is, and always
has been, in accord with the preva-
lent sentiment that the Chinese are
a great detriment to the moral and
industrial welfare of America ;
that automaton-like they supplant
the white laborer and mechanic Of
every craft that they absolutely
fail to patronize American customs
and American notwithstanding
all their earnings to China and
receiving in return the scanty raj
ment and rice they exist upon
that they spread vice and corrup-
ton throughout the land that they
cannot become citizens and cannot
be of service in time Of war
ior peace; that there is moth
ing in sympathy between them
and the white race; that they
threaten a stupenduous influence
upon the future advancement
and enlightenment of our ma
ton. All this can be reiterated
against the Chinese, while on the
other hand we must bear fresh in
mind that they are here under pro-
lection of our flag; that the inter
national commerce between China
and the United States amounts to
$50, 100000 annually; that the
number Of American subjects in
China is not inconsiderable, and
that their safety may be leopard
izod by a natural retaliation from
The Chinese that in the event of
unlawful expulsion or violence, war
were possible between the two
nations that the place of the
Chinese in our own section cannot
be supplied in an instant, nor their
property disposed of, and that the
Chinese, are human beings, and have
n just claim to our consideration as
such. All these things should be
considered, and while the Pacific
Coast is sustained in its anti-Chi- |
nese sentiments by the promise of
national legislation upon the sub
jet, it is sustained by no precedent
of law or reason in the encourage
ment of boycotting or violence.
The great anti-Chinese revolution
is working itself, and while we
believe in giving it every legitimate |
and reasonable encouragement we
do not hope to see it accomplished |
until the Mongol has had ample |
opportunity to find new sustain
ance in his own or other countries,
and we appeal to the good judy |
ment of every true and law-abiding
citizen in defense of this right to
the Cinnamon.
Those citizens who are in the
habit of thinking, are perfectly
aware that the process must begin
at that point where white labor is
and can be marched in
from distance. This labor brings
with it families from which a sup
ply will be recruited to occupy
gradual vacuum created by the exo-
dus of the heather race, and so by
easy and natural processes the
change will be wrought, the reform
will be accomplished, without
loss or bankruptcy upon
anyone.

1t has come to lights that Colone
Bee, Chinese Consul, has been
secretly preparing and publishing
an eighty-page pamphlet to circu-
late in the East and before Con-
gress, quietly detailing the woes of
the Mongolians and the imposi-
tons of the white people, purport-
ting to answer at great length all
the anti-Chinese arguments. The
intention is the stopping of the
prohibitivc legislation now in pro-
gress. The San Francisco papers
will cxopse it.

Within the boundaries of Nevada
are a great many dead mining
camps. They are Wondering skel-
etons of what were once prosperous
towns. When the surface rock
gave out in the early days, or when
the ore was not of great value per
ton, work was abandoned and the
towns that had been built up were
deserted. The idea prevailed that
the precious metals found their
way into the crevices and assures
from the surface, and after an
apparent exhaustion, further search
in the depths would be fruitless.
Where rock was of low grade in
value the cost of extraction and
reduction consumed the returns,
and this idea and fact brought ruin
and depopulation to many thriv-
ing little town. The fact has been
changed, everything can be done
more cheaply, and when in former
days lodges were valueless on
account of expense, they can now
be worked at a profit. The expe-
rience of deep mining has shown
that the greatest treasures lie in the
depths, and the effect will be resur-
rection of many dead and gone
camps and the permanent life of
those where work is now carried

Mr.. Geo. w. Gibbs, an old pros
pector in the Carcade, interviews
the Signal and says that the upper
Natcheez, a distance of 60 miles
from North Yakima, will prove the
richest mining camp discovered in
the past fifteen years. He vouches
for the statement that in the heart
of the Cascades, along the Natcheez
river and lake, there is tin ore in
unlimited quantities, and that the
platinum, quicksilver, gold, silver,
nickel, iron and copper, placer and
quartz mines will some day be a
source of fabulous wealth to this
country. The distance of this I'M
developed mint is about half way
between this point and Tacoma
and the construction of wagon
road from this town thereto, he
believes, will be of great material
benefit to North Yakima.

A MODEST HERO.
Matt Hughes, the Life-Saver of La
Mascotte Fame.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo-, Oct. II The
bodies of Mrs. William FL. Wheeler, first
engineer William O'Brien and colored
roustabout were brought in to-day. Act
ing Coroner Paar held an inquest with
the usual verdict. Matt Hughes, the
brave farmer of Benefits Landing, came
down with the bodies. A correspOn-
dent hunted him up, and after considera-
BILE persuasion obtained the story of his
resculng the passengers of the Mascotte.
Matt, as he is Familiarity called, was
resident of Cape Girardeau county until
five years ago, when he moved over to
Benefits Landing. he is plain man In
speech, modest in demeanor, and has a
heart much larger than Capt. Ebaugh's.
He said:
81 was at dinner at my home at Ben
nett's Landing on Oct. 3 and saw the
steamers Mascotte aud Eagle passing up.
They were between quarter and half
mile apart. My wife said to me, Il be-
lieve that the Eagle is trying to overtake
the Mascotte.' just then heard the
noise of the explosion, and exclaimed to
my wife, The Mascotte is lost and l am
going to her. She told me not to 90, that
| might get burned or hurt, but | Imme-
diately ran where my skitf was tied, some
800 yards, and started for the boat, u mile
and quarter distant When | reached
within 100 yards of the Mascotte the heat
was so intense l could not approach her.
/ determined to try and reach her bow,
which finally did. l found the stage
was fiat in the water, but was held to the
burning wreck by wire cables.
II took off on the first trip five persons
and landed them on the shore above
Hanging Dog. Jack Howard knew me
and called me to save him. He is para
lytic and has been living at the poor
house in Cape county. l made second
trip and brought of two men and Que
lady, Mrs. Louis Seimers, and landed
them on shore. | then put back and got
one lady and two men, names unknown
TO me. | went back again but | could be
of no service to anyone. | saw young
lady with a little child sink about forty
feet from me. l could not reach them in
time. The child had on red hose, and the
young lady had on life preserVer, but it
was on wrong.
81 saw the derrick and chimneys fall
on the stage, and they knocked off a num-
Der of people. The Captain OF the Eagle
could have saved number OF people, If
he had done his duty, by sending out his
small boats. This | know from the rela-
tive position of the boats. l don't know
how many, can't say, perhaps nine or ten
that got ashore and had to run 800 yards
to my skiff, and then row mile and a
quarter to the Mascotte, crossing the river
below the Eagle. Ebaugh might have
done as much. He turned his boat out
and stood away from the wreck"

RULES OF THE RAILS,
Work of the Time Convention anC
of the superintendent.

Work of the Time Convention and
of the Superintendents.
NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-The second days
session of the members of the National
Railroad Time Convention was held to-
day at the Hotel Brunswick. The ques-
tion of the movement of trains on a single
track when the block system is used and
the manner OF giving signals in times OF
accident, was discussed. Nearly all the
rules prepared by the committee have
been adopted with few alterations.
These rules, when they have all been
adopted, will govern the movement of
trains on all roads in the United States
and Canada after Nov. u.
communication was received from
the Car Accountants Association, asking
that a committee be appointed to devise
uniform way OF keeping accounts, which
was acceded to.
A committee on the twenty-four hour
system of time reported progress and was
continued. Railroad men think the sys-
TEN impracticable, though many Canada
roads have adopted it. The meeting was
the largest railroad gathering ever held
in this country. One of the subjects of
discussion was the signal system now in
use. Many roads use different sets of sig
mails and rules. This often creates confu-
sion and makes accidents liable.
THE RAILROAD OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The railroad Superintendent held a
convention here to-day. Il. NJ. Stevenson,
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, presided, and Waterman
stone OF the Providence, Warren and
Worcester railroad acted as secretary.
The question of the use of spring rail
frogs was discussed, and committee was
appointed to inquire into the ACCESSIBILITY
OF substituting spring rails on the tracks
for the fixed frog rail which is now in
use. The Central Association of Railroad
Superintendent presented communica-
ton in which it was stated that they de-
sired to disband and join the main asso-
citation. The communication was accept
ed, and the Central Association was nOtI
fed that its members would be admitted.
The name of the association was changed
to that of 1.-The Association OF North
American Railroad SUPERINTENDENT
A resolution was adopted In which a
committee was appointed to inquire into
and remedy the excessive delays in the
freight car service caused through con-
signees loading and unloading the cars.
The constitution was changed and COM
mittee on roadways, machinery aud
transportation was created, with power
to fix uniform rate to be charged for the
cars OF connecting lines passing over
other roads. President Stevenson gave an
illustration OF the use OF the Phelps sys-
tenn of telegraphing to moving trains, and
stated that it was the only system that
had stood the practical test. He said it
had been in use on his road for six
months, and that it was invaluable. The
convention adjourned, TO meet next year
at the same place and time as the Gen
| eral Convention.

FIRE LICKING UP A TOWN
EASTPORT AT THE MERCY OF
THE FLAMES.

Telegraphic and Telephone Communal
cation With the Outside World Cut
Off-Insdequate Fire Apparatus and
the Water supply Giving Out-The Re-
Election Seen Thirty Miles.
EAsTPoRT, ME-, Oct. IA destructive
cOnflagration broke out between 3 and 4
O'clock this afternoon in Capens' sardine
establishment and was soon sweeping
through the business portion of the town.
Four sardine houses, Smiths saloon,
Paine's large store, Warren Browns
house, r. B. Clarke's house and other
dwellings were destroyed before O'Clock.
The Passamaquoddy Hotel then caught
fire. The wind was blowing from the
southeast and there was no hope of pre-
venting the fire from sweeping the whole
of Water street. The greatest excitement
prevailed. All the merchants at once
began moving their goods out of their
stores. There was no fire apparatus in
the town except two hand engines. Two
years ago this month the town was de-
stroyed by fire. Even the telegraph poles
were soon burning. This afternoon the
telegraph office mad to be abandoned and
all Geographic communication was
stopped at O'Clock.
SEEN FOR THIRTY MILES.
CALAIS, ME-, Oct. 14.-The teIegra ph
and telephone Offices at PASSPORT were
tually burned and communication
was suspended. The reflection of the fire
on the sky could be seen at distance Of
thirty miles at 6 O'Clock this evening, In
dicating that the fire was raging with in
creased fury, and it was feared that the
main part of Eastport will be destroyed.
When the fire started the tide was low
and ebbing and the reservoirs became eX-
hausted. The latest intelligence from
Eastport is that the Passamaquoddy
Hotel and BuXton's livery stable were
burned. A telegraph official has lett
Calais 10 re-establish communication, and
until that is done nothing can be learned.
FIRE ON LAKE KILLARNEY.
LONDON, Oct. 14.-Lord Kenmare's
mansion, situated on the lower Lake of
Killarney, is reported to be burning thi s
evening.

CHURCH TITLES.
Efforts to Wipe Out the Name of
the Episcopal Denominat ion.


CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-At the Protestant
Episcopal Convention to-day the resolu-
ton of Mr.. Judd, of Chicago, to expunge
the words protestant Episcopal from
the title OF the prayer book was again called
up for debate. The discussion was opened
by Rev. DR.. Phillip Brooks, of Boston,
who declared that the pending question
overshadowed in Importance all others
before the present convention. he OPP
posed the proposed change in such elo-
quent language as TO enlist the attention
of all.
Rev. B. A. Rogers, of Texas. MAN.
tanned that the attitude OF thus desiring
change was an arraignment Of the
reformation in Germany.
Rev. L. VI. Gaylor, OF Tennessee, made
good impression in an eloquent paper,
which was characterized as "progres-
sively orthodox" He was inclined to
favor change, and suggested that if the
pending proposition was adopted 1t would
have to lie over until another convention,
giving ample time TO consider the name
most applicable.
HOBBIES OBJECTED TO.
Rev. DR.. Royce, Of Wisconsin, objected
to the present name, because he wanted
the church to have no hobby or be placed
apostolic succession. de said to style
the Protestant Episcopal Church the
American Catholic Church doomed it to
be the refuge Of contracted element in
no sense representing broad American
Ism. 1t would confide it TO those who de-
pended upon apostolic succession as GER
tainty Of salvation. HehOped God would
ferfend the day when any such fanatic
step should be taken.
DR.. Ans, OF Connecticut, defended the
proposed change, giving prominence to
the right to assume the title OF Catholic"
Rev. DR.. Gibson, CT New York, declared
if ever a historical blunder was made it
was when the name episcopal" was APP
piled to this church. He defended the
adjustment of what he deemed meaning
less titles. They would understand that
it was a short cut being taken to the
truth.
Rev. j. F. Girault, of louisiana, and
w. c. Beuett, of South Carolina, both op-
posed the change. Mr.. Beuett thought it
as easy TO try to turn the course of the
Gulf stream as the course of popular
acceptation Of any term of the English
language.
The convention then adjourned. To-
morrow the convention will sit chiefly as
board of missions.
