The London Disturbances.

New YORK, Feb, IA Mai
and Express London special says;
The Socialist affair Of yesterday
has aroused a new food of public
indignation against the police
Their management seems to be
quite a fault on every occasion, and
the behavior Of the officers is re-
gardcd as governed entirely by i'm
pulse, not guided by reason or COM
mon-sense. It is generally admitted
that the police, yesterday feeling
indignant at the popular criticism
to which they were subjected by
their remisness during the previ-
Gus riotings, displayed excessive
zeal when there was really no coca
sion for it and acted in an impul-
sive, ill-advised manner. which
tended to madden the crowd, rather
than to effect its peaceful disper-
sion. If it had not been for the
GOODNESS Of the leaders and their
preservation of peace, another riot
would have been due entirely to the
conduct Of the police
LONDON Feb. 24.-Col. Sir Ed
mund Henderson, head of the Met
Police Force, is severely
censured for the inefficiency of the
police during the recept riots in
London. has resigned. This action
is supposed to be due to the con
viction Oh his part that the Com |
appointed by Childers, the
Home Secretary, to investigate the |
cause of the riots would blame him |
for the course of the police.

n Queer Mistake.

John Dennis is one Of the mos
unfortunate editors in the State
and although meaning well at times
occasionally gets into some terrible
situations.
A few days ago he wrote these
two items:
The citizens Of Tuscarora are
mourning the loss Of twenty valu-
able dogs, poisoned by some mis-
creant.
The butchers, Sayles & Bayley,
announce that they have just made
up large batch of fine, large sau-
sages.
These two items, by the devilish
ingenuity Of the foreman, appeared
one under the other, and Sayles
took It as q personal reflection and
came in and knocked the u.fertu-
nate editor sf Z stool.

False.

New YORK, Feb. PA World s

nese residents Of this city who have
been living a nervous and unhappy
life since the commencement of the
Lou johnson murder trial, were
startled by the report that the
Emperor of China had issued a
proclamation directing all his sub
jects to return to the Empire and
place themselves under his rule.
The reporter found All Lung and
All Sing explaining the matter to a
group of their countrymen yester-
day, All Lung came here from
California and has been conspic-
uous during the Chinese trials as a
sympathizer with the accused men.

"A Worried Juror.

Johnny Morris, who has strong
anti-Chinese proclivities, was one
of the jurors who sat on the case of
the suicided Chinaman. The Chi
nese now assert that the man is not
dead, but will come out of his
opium slumber on Friday, and they
refuse to bury him until he has a
fair chance to resuscitate.
Johnny Morris says that he has
decided the man dead, aud has
been backed in his opinion by Dave
Lent and others. and the China
man has no business to bob up
again and make trouble and legal
complication. Morris has made
oath that the man was dead when
he sat on him, and he will stand no
foolishness. If he learns of the
Chinaman's coming to life, he pro-
poses to take the jury down and
sit on the Celestial again; sit on
him hard.
If the Chinaman comes TO life

yesterday a man asked him if he
could tell dead Chinaman when
he saw him, and Morris knocked

Worn Out.

Hugh Lamb, who died recently
in Virginia City. died literally be-
cause he was worn out. For years
he was the Underground Foreman
Of the Bonanza mines, and a man
in whose honesty and judgment the
owners had the greatest confidence.
He lived underground half his
time for years, and fretted and wor-
ried himself to death. Many a time
he WIS asked by his employees to go
away and take vacation and rest,
they Offering to pay his salary just
the same and all his expenses; but
he would say: Wait a few days,
until the South drift develops
something"
Then he would be urged to start,
and would reply: ''The wInze is
getting interesting, and | must
watch it close So the years
rolled on and he watched the pro-
gress of the developments that
lifted beggars to affiuence, broke
millionaires on the brutal wheel of
speculation and left Virginia City
rising and falling, stagnant and
whirling. When he went to bed at
night the map of the lower levels
was stamped on his brain, and in
his dreams he looked into the
great chambers Of the rocks. He
felt that everything was on his
shoulders, and every day was a
steady drain upon his nervous
temperament. While everybody
about him was getting rich he
never reached out to grasp the
fortune that others acquired with
much less worry, and finally he
laid down and died, talking of |
drifts and cross cuts to the last
A more honest heart never beat |
than Hugh Lambs. His only mis-
take was in imagining that to do
his whole duty he had to toll
like a slave every hour that he
did not sleep.
The old ledge will never again
see such a Conscientious hard-work
ing foreman as Hugh Lamb.
