An Underrround River.

CHARLESTON, ). c., October 24--[Specal. |
The discovery of a phenomena which indioa-
ted the existence of n subterranean river, rum
ming from the mountains Of Virginia through
North and South Carolina has been noted in
these dispatches Recent additional discover
les seem to confirm this theory.
The latest is reported from Blacks Station,
town in this state almost on q direct limo
from Raleigh, N. O., through Lanrons and
Abbeville counties At Blacks two farmers
named Dyer. who live there, were engaged in
digging well on their farm, which is on line
of tho G. @. & Q. II. Il. The story they tell is
as follows:
"At depth of twenty feet they struck q
limestone formation which gave ont ~ hollow
sound under the tools used. In further pro-
gress OF the work few feet OF tho stone had
been removed, and workman striking the
point of the bar forcihly into an apparent seam
In the rock, was surprised first to see a hole
open under him, and see his bar disappear
wholly from sight. The rush of air following
this break through the may be roof of largo
cave or cavern, was accompanied by n loud
noise, and continued into the next day. The
worknen were terrified, and hastily leaving
the we'll, refused TO return to tho work.
Later tho depth OF tho hole was attempted to
be measured by use Of long pole, but IL
failed to reach anything solid, and when
dropped gave back no sound to those who lis
tened at the opening. In this connection 1t is
remembered chat well dug upon the north
west side OF Whitaker mountain, some years
ago, was abandoned for the same reason, the
discovery OF large cavern, without apparent
bottom. Parties familiar with the rock forma-
tion OF this section, say they are probable OPEN
ings into one OF the same hollow places
exten( in under and through the mountain
Whether this is a mammoth cave or subtcrra-
mean river remains to be proven. An inyeSti-
cation will be had at once

The Fnr,nnra in snasin,,.

MACON, Ca, October 4.-[Special. lover
one hundred farmers, representing the county
trustees of the state exchange OF the Farmers
Alliance, met this morning at the Hotel La
nier for the purpose of organizing q state OK
change and transacting other important
financial business appertaining to the alliance.
Ex-senator W. l.. Peak, of Conyers, was
chosen chairman, and Mr. Josiah Bias
singame, of Walton, secretary. The
day session has been devoted chiefly to organ
izing. More important business may be trans
acted tonight. The alliance men act very
secretly, and are quite cautious in imparting
information for publication. Among the
trustees in attendance are some of the most
successful and best known farmers in Georgia.
The trustees are a fine looking body of solid
substantial men.

A Baeging Mandatory for Griffin.


There arc two thousand farmers in the eight
counties around Griffin who might each sub
scribe twenty-five dollars towards hagging
factory to be erected at this place. What say
you farmers? This is tho way to break trusts
and It is in the line we have marked out for
the Alliance. We want tho Alliance, through
Its warehouse, and state exchange, and bag
ging factory, and cotton seed oil mills to be
able to handle its cotton crop. Herein lies
success. Upon this line we can make the
order the grandest thing that ever ilourished
south. Think of it, $40 millions in a single
crop and that crop grabbed up by SPECTATORS,
trusts and gamblers. Let lis work on the cot
ton business until we handle the staple from
its seed to manufactured cloth. Do this and
new era will come upon us. We need an oil
mill and bagging factory right now in con-
nection with our warehouse and state exchange.
Griffin should in two years more manufacture
every bale that comes to this Market crush
every seed into oil and make every piece of
bagging. We can make our farms profitable
and cotton again be our own loved "king."

Distressing Reports From the Cheyenne
Reservation In Dakota.

BUFoRD OAK, October 25-Reports by a
courier from the Cheyenne reservation, seven
ty-fve miles south, are to the effect that unless
aid is soon extended to them by the govern
ment great numbers OF Cheyennes will die of
starvation. The Indians are insutficiently ra-
toned and clothed and lack of sufficient
food has resulted in much sickness, especially
among the older members of the tribe who are
unable to go out in search of food. Young
bucks, owing to a scarcity of game, are unable
TO supply the wants of the sick and helpless
and are leaving them to die All OF these In
dams should receive rations from the
Berthold agency on the west bank of the
Missouri and south of tho fort.
Within the last month numerous bands OF
Cheyennes, twenty or thirty in number and
comprising bucks, women and children have
come to Fort Buford begging for food to keep
them alive. Fort Buford and Fort Keogh are
constantly beseiged by these bands of starving
Indians, and Colonel Robert e. Crofton, com
mandant at Fort Buford, notified the war
department of the condition Of affairs. In his
report, Colonel Crofton calls attention to the
imperative necessity of at once supplying the
Indians with rations and clothing, as they are
in AFFECT want and suffering.

Dental clerk and southerner. Mr.. Will
lams used the property proftably during the

.. Morris, of New Haven, counsel for Mr.,
Hand, advised the latter to seek q settlement

New Haven and honorably paid up the origi-
nal sum and interest, amounting to seas, COO

They Propose to Retaliate by Excluding the
Americans

SAN FRANCISCO, October 26.-The steamer
Arabic arrived from Hong Kong and Yoko-
homa this afternoon. The Japan Gazette has
a statement published in the Chinese Times to
the effect that the action of the Chinese min
lister to the United States in the matter of the
treaty which was recently rejected by the
Chinese government, excited great animosity
against him i'll Kwantung, and endeavors were
made by the angry mob to wreck the minister's
house. The Chinese Times also contains a
letter signed by Picking official, and written
just after the news has reached China, that
the United States senate had passed the Chi
nese exclusion bill. The following is an ex-
tract from the letters: "If the obnoxions
American bill should be carried into effect,
there will be no other course open for China
consistent with her dignity as nation, than
to adopt retaliatory measures by prohibiting
citizens of the United States from coming to
China This will be by no means proportion
ate to the harm done to Chinese interests in
America, but it will have to be done in order
to show that the Chinese can do something,
and If this will have no effect in bring
ing the United States congress and the United
States government to reason and fairness,
then it will be question for China TO consid
er whether 1t is not time for her to cancel her
treaties made with that country, to recall her
subjects from this country and to cease all re-
iatlons and intercourse diplomatic and COM
merclal, with that country"
Difficult Law to Enforce.
Ell PAso, Texas, October 26-The task of
enforcing the Chinese exclusion act proves to
be no easy one along the Mexican frontier.
Ell Paso, Texas, and Paso Del Norte, Mexico,
are separated only by the Rio Grande, which
is at present practically dry, and is fordable
for ten months Of the year. There are two or
three hundred Cinnamon in the two cities, and
heretofore they have passed freely from one to
the other Collector Magofiin is enforcing the
law as fully as his small force of inspectors
will permit, but is an easy matter for the
Chinese to violate them, Moreover China
men can easily come up the Mexican Central
railroad or across the country from Guaymas,
or other Pacific points, and slip across the line
into the United States.
