DOMESTIC NEWS.
Eastern Views of the Seattle Trouble.
NEW YORK, February Sth.-The Times,
in an editorial on the outbreak against the
Chinese IN Washington Territory, says
Precisely what is to be done with the
Cinnamon when they reach San Francisco
does not appear; but, as the race is as cor
| daily hated there as on any other part of
the coast, the prospects of a cordial wei
come are not encouraging. 1t is said the
work OF expulsion is done by order of the
Knights OF Labor. If this is true, the
knights have taken step which will sure
ly recoil to their injury. At all events it is
the duty of the Government to protect the
Cinnamon who are in this country under
| treaty stipulations and this last outrage
should not be allowed 10 go unpunished
THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, February Sth.-The news
of the forcible attempt to eject the Chinese
from Seattle was received here this morn
ing. The Secretary of War and the Presi-
dent held a consultation about the matter
this afternoon, but nothing could be learned
of the result Of their deliberations. No
troops have been ordered tonight TO the
| scene of the alleged disturbance. The
members of the California delegation in
| bly, expel the Chinese from American terri
tory should have been made The entire
delegation is now working harmoniously to
secure the passage of Morrows bill to fur
| ther amend the Restriction Act, and they
| fear that any organized effort to drive the
Chinamen by force out of the country will
cause a revulsion of sentiment, at least.
that may damage the present bright pros

slaf IL, Il.
| Mr.. Louttit and other members of the dele
| cation, while expressing his sympathy
with the desire of the residents of the Pa

| by peaceable means, has strongly opposed
| any attempt to dislodge the Mongolians bv
| the exercise of lawless methods. When
| the miners of Wyoming attacked the Chi

| approval of the proceedings in strong terms,
| and animated that the passage of a bill to
amend abe Restriction Act would not be
| helped by the presentation of a claim for
damages to citizens of China by the repre-
| sentatiyes of the Imperial Government.
| Under the existing treaty stipulation, Mr.
| Cleveland feels bound to extend the pro-

who may be assaulted by American citi.

Seattle develop into anything resembling a

The Chess Contest
| New YORK, February Sth.-A Post edi-
| torial says: There is an unpleasant sugges-
| ton of hippodroming in the course of the
chess contest between SteinitZ and Fucker
| tort. That the fortunes of the match should
vary is not surprising. What is strange is
that SO many games should be lost and
Won by mistakes which we are assured
would be unaccountable in the case of play
ers of only moderate skill. These successive
inexplicable mistakes, occurring as they do
always just at the proper time to increase
the uncertainty as TO the result, distinctly
| favors the betting talent, and thereby are
doubiy unfortunate, to say the least
Yesterdays GAME.
ST. LOUIS, February Sth.-The chess
match between Zukertort and Steinitz was
resumed this afternoon. On the twenty
second move, the players being tired and
the pieces being pretty evenly swapped,
the game was declared drawn, and the
play closed about half-past T. The next
game Will be played on Wednesday,

comprehensive Southern Hebrew charita-
BILE institution has been conducted with

Peculiar Railroad Accident.
ST: LOUIS, February Sth.-A freight train
consisting of fifty-two cars, heavily laden,
while running up Poplar street from the
river this morning, separated in the middle
and immediately the rear portion of the
tram started back down the grade The
brakemen did all in their power to arrest
the progress of the runaway cars, but their
efforts proved unayailing, and in order to
save their lives they abandoned the train TO
its fate. Each foot in its backward course
increased the speed, and almost immedi-
ately several OF the cars began swaying
from side to side ar soon several jumped
the track, but sill kept on in their down
ward course, crushing into the houses
which line the street, and leaving destruc-
ton in their wake. One of the cars became
detached, and this arrested the progress of
those behind it. The cars continued on
their course, some off the track and some
on, until they were toppled into the river.
Several houses on Poplar street. from Fifth
street, where the portions of the train be-
came separated, to Second street. were
damaged, and almost every house from
thence to the river was badly wrecked.
The debris OF The wrecked cars and houses
now strew the track, which it will reonire
several hours to remove The loss can
scarcely be estimated at present, on account
of confusion, but it is placed at $4,000.
