nese residents of this city. An alarm was
quickly sounded by ringing the fire bells,
but before the citizens could realize what
was happening, guard, composed of mem
bers of the anti Chinese association here,
was placed in possession of each house, and
the Cinnamon were ordered to pack up
their effects and leave. The mob was led
by a young man named Hetzel, who was
recently employed as assistant enrolling
clerk in the legislature, and who has held
position for some time in the Office of the
territorial auditor, and also by a junk
dealer, named Boles, who took up his resi-
dence here only few months ago. The
bosses of the Chinese houses have been
given three days to leave town; the en-
ployes have notice to leave at once. A
public meeting was held here tonight, to
take measures to preserve order, and pre-
vent the mobbing of the Chinese.

The death of General Hancock was not
merely a surprise to his family-it was as
much Of a shock to them as to his friends.
Twenty days ago he started on business
connected with the department of the At
lantic to Philadelphia, where he remained
two days, then proceeded to Washington,
where he had business. In Washington q
neck. 1t was lanced January 3Oth, and the
general was much Inconvenience by its
presence and returned to New York sever
al days sooner than he had designed. Dur
ing the first week in February, the boil de-
veloped into malignant carbunkle, which
suppurated constantly, preventing rest and
sleep. pr. Janeway was called and it was
not until marked weakness had resulted
from the presence of the carbunkle, that
the surgeon discovered General Hancock
SUFFERING FROM DIABETES
and kidney trouble. DR.. Janeway called
in as consultation DR.. Sutherland, medical
director of the department., and DR.. D. M.
Stinson, of New York. The medical men
concluded the case assuming a very seri-
GUS form. At 10 o'clock Monday night, be-
fore going away, DR.. Janeway found the
patient in good spirits, able to assist him
self and left him apparently improved. At
6:45 a; M, Mrs: Hancock despatched an
orderly for DR.: Janeway, as the general was
lily and found the General in a comatose
state, with feeble pulse and all the premoni-
tary symptoms of death present. He sum-
mOned the two physicians already named.
Hyperdermic injections of brandy and ether
and carbonate of ammonia and brandy were
administered. These, however, only alle-
waited the suffering of the soldier who
GRADUALLY SUNK AWAY
until death was reached. At 2:51 p. m, as
stated afterward by DR.. Janeway, "the
general went down to the close of his life
like a person descending stairs. When
death came, three physicians and the hos
cock being in an adjoining room. The
general leaves his widow and three grand
children, two girls, and boy, named
the generals son Russell, who died Decem-
Der 26, 1884, and whose loss The general has
ever since mourned bitterly.
Major General Whipple will assume
command of the department., supported by
Lieutenant Cole Jackson, until the presi-
dent shall appoint the generals successor
from Generals Schotie1d, Terry or How
ard. Orders in relation to the funeral Ger
emonies are expected from Washington
tomorrow. In the meantime the body will
be embalmed by officers Of the post.
In the general orders tomorrow will be
promulgated the announc ement of General
Hancock's deaths, when regulation mourn
half masted on the announcement of the
death.
THE FUNERAL,
it is expected, will take place at Norris
town. Penn, where the generals body will be
buried by the side of his daughter Ada, who
died in 1877. The Tribune says: General
Hancock's body will be taken to St. Louis
for burial, and be placed in the family
mansoleum. He does not leave a large es-
tate. He owned property in and about st.
Louis, but little else. His charities are
said, by those who knew him most init
mately, to have been constant and much
greater than his income warranted. For
some time General Hancock has been die
tating "reminiscences of the war of the re-
belliOn to one of his aids, which are said to
be of great historical Importance. In this
work he has of late taken great interest"
Among letters of coincidence are those
from Generals Sherman and Fitz Hugh Lee,
President Cleveland and others.
