So in the care of these people Lonsdale
was safe, apparently, till Dscoits became
rampant over all the land between Ran
COON and Bhamo. Yet bis impotence of
the life he led grew stronger every day
now that his wound was completely
healed.
His thoughts forever rose on his broth
er officers, on the regiment snd what it
might be doing, on the deaths of poor
D,gby Montressor and other good fellows,
on the unfortunate Claire, now really 8
widow in q distant land. More than all
did his thoughts, Of course, run on Me-
LAME md how she might be situated.
Had she heard of his cspture-it might
be of his death?
All these surmises coursed through his
mind again and again, and knowing the
mslign stars that reisned over her destiny,
his soul rightly foreboaed the worst, and
seemed to writhe within him, in mis- wild
and eager longing to procure arms and
quit his monOtonous life among the
Poongyees, not one word OF whose
language could he understand.
His protectors hours seemed num-
bered, and the latter was evidently sink
ing fast when there came to the monas-
terry q Poongyee or R.hoan, who had
once been IN Portuguese merchants
cffice 10 RsngooD, and who, in trade, had
frequently come in contact with the
British Thus he had picked up some OF
that gibberish known as "pigeoD Eng
lish," by means of which he made L'ns-
dale aware OF ths progress OF recent
events; and that though BIrmah
was supposed to be conquered, and
its king was departed, great
dacoite was sprineing up on every hand;
and that, weekly, fresh troops, horse and
foot. were pouring from Bengal into the
land OF the rubies; that hkstile bands
were spripging up everywhere, that his
existence in the monastery IS known to
some Of these, and that II tie old PooD-
gyee, who was an influenti4 cara, died,

thus entrapped, surrounded, run to earth
like wild animal, and would inevitably
be done to q terrible death without hope
or mercy.
The most active and conspicuous among
them was Burmese OF gigantic stature,
deeply tattooed and wearing white
frock, well quilted, IS the season was q
cool one.
In the light of torch, held by one OF
the ASSISTANTS, he could see their tawny
vissges and floating dresses, their CLEAN

the action, their top-knots became loose

European face, and with frantic yells
fired their pistols at 1t, their Wis

with fiendish maligni,y, and the almond
shaped black eyes flashing as ii with
falne, their white teeth glisteniDg and

wall, over which the bullets where whist
ling, in utter doubt what to do, .Kken
suddenly volley of musketry shQM the
darkened air, and the yells OF the Bacoits
seemed to pierce the starry welkin. (
For moment glow Of hope rose q
Lonsdale's heart-the hope that q paTfs
of our own troops had come upon Hsn ;
but it was not so. -
The tolling of the great alarm ben OF
the psgoda, booming out generously on
the night afar over wild forests and rice
fields, scared those who were At work

narrow foreheads, and coarse, let'y hair,

Chinese type-for such the Burmese are
a people described by Father Sanger
mano in 1855 as "servile, slothful, british
and false"
The undressed wound on his head &C.
casioned Lonsdale intense pain and no
small anxiety, when day began to break,
snd he knew that in time it would attain
it's tropical heat; while his captors were
still proceeding-he knew not in what
direction, save that by the position Of the
sun he supposed it must be inland, or to
the eastward of the Irswaddy, far from
the welcome sight of the smoky tunnels
of the river steHmers-at once go sugges-
tive of Europe, of civilization, and Of
home.
By order of the Poongyee, some food
such as rice and cold fowl. with chillies
and pounded fish, ell taken, with other
plunder, from house they hsd passed
was given to him when the whole party
halted to refresh, in wild and lonely
plsce amid the jungle scenery.
Meanwhile, the poor old Poongyee, who
lay in the pslaDquin in agoDy, alternately
tanning himself and telling over his rosary
made Of large seeds strung together, took
only little boiled rice, served up on
green leaf, and washed down with spring
water.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-As a result
OF the conference between Gen. Malone
ad Senator Q uay, recently held in this
city, it is announced that proceedings will
be begun in the Virginia state courts,
u. S. district court of Virginia, attack
ing the right of Democratic electors of
that state to cast their vote for president
in the electoral college. The certificates
of the electors will not be issued until af-
ter the meeting of the state board of can
vassors in Richmond next Monday, and
the contemplated proceedings will be then
Immediately instituted.
Secretary Whitney has received a letter
Of thanks dated Benecia, Gala, from the
owner of the schooner Jane Gray. which
was raised by the United States steamer
Thetis after hing wrecked in the Arctic
ocean and returned to her owner without
salvage.
Lord Sackville and the Misses Sackville
West will leave Washington Friday morn
ing for New York and on the following
day will sail for Havre in the La Bour-

berlain and his bride to France.
The Post tomorrow will say: It can be
stated authoritatively that the president
denies most positively ever having used
the language attributed to him by Judge
Rucker in the now celebrated interview.
AS a matter of fact the president does

REcker. On the day in question Senator
Blackburn called at the white house with
some friends. This much the president
has called to mind. He recollects also
that Just before leaving the library the
senator stepped over to him and spoke a
few words in regard to a senate report on
civil service investigation, but at no time
was anything said about politics in New
York, and under no circumstances has the
president ever charged or intimated that
there was treachery toward him in New
York.

The K. of L..

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-The ques-
ton of elections still agitate the minds of
delegates of the Knights of Labor general
assembly. Every one now acknowledges
the certainty of Powderly's election and
his choice for other positions will be the
choice of the convention. Hayes, present
general secretary, is said to be Powderly's
choice general secretary-treasurer. Mrs.
Barry will undoubtedly be reelected to
her position in charge of woman's work,
and it he wishes it, Richard Grifeths of
Chicago may continue to serve as gen.
eral worthy ~foreLuau.
Powderly's nominations for members
OF the general executive board cannot be
so readily predicted. Canadian members
are desired. From the South there is
also a request for representation on the
board. Mcclure and A%ylesworth of the
present board, and O'Reilly of New York
and Hugh Cavanagh of Cincinnati have
been considered liable to be selected.
Some hours were spent in heated de-
bate over the Skefington case, and it was
finally decided that Skefington was
guilty OF INSTRUMENTATION, and that he be
publicly reprimanded by the general mas
ter workman.
1t was decided to send representatives
ofthe order to the Paris exposition, and
then an hour and a half of the conven-
tons time was devoted to the considera-
ton of secret work of the order.
For the finance committee Hugh Cav
anaugh (chairman) reported that it had
found the methods of discussing the
funds very loose, that bills had not been
countersigned before being paid; that
some officers should be given the veto
power in regard to the expend-
iture of money, under such
a plan more mnny would
now be in the treasury, and further re-
commended that more business ike meth
DDS be established. They made no sug-
g~estions of any crookedness, finding all
accounts perfectly correct, and the report
states that the reductions which have
already been decided Upon by the CONSOLE
dation ant reduction of officers, would
foot up SIS. 900. Salaries will remain the
same as heretofore. Power is given to
the general secretary treasurer to throw
out excessive items from expenditures.
By a vote of SO to 81 it was decided to
continue the salary of 5000 to the gem
eral master workman. and the secretary
treasurer will be paid 1000. Members
of the executive board will receive 81 a
day and expenses. The report of the
committee was adopted and these matters
as to salaries came up Immediately after
wards.

The Cattlemen.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22.-The long deferred
Joint convention of the Range Association
and the butchers was held to. night IN the
exposition building Only 100 persons
were present when Thomas Armour called
the meeting to order. The report of. the
Joint committee of the International AS
ISOLATION was read by H: NJ. Taylor of
Denver. The report cites the danger of
the combination and concentration of the
markets of the country in the preamble,
while the resolutions favor combined eff.
forts on the part of butchers and cattle
men to secure such legislation as will re-
store the condition of trade so that in
stead of only having two markets for cat
tie in the country there will be hun
dreds of points where brisk competi-
ton will insure to the benefit of the small
dealer aud consumers.
Col Chas. james, the president of the
Butchers National Association, addressed
the convention at length, r~eciting the re-
suits OF his Investigations in various cities
as to the workings of dressed cattle COM
bines. An address by G. G. Slaughter
OF Texas, followed, after which Col. o.
j. Broadhead of st. Louis read a paper
on the constituionality of state inspection
laws.

of the passage OF laws providing for he
inspection of cattle on the hoof only at
regular stock yards, and inspection of
meat for export at the request of ex-
porters.

At a summer resort the other day, a
bright little 4-yesr-old child amused the

The commission Men.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 22.-While the Joint
convention of rangemen and butchers was
in session in the exposition building, a
meeting OF committees from the live stock
exchanges of Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha
and Kansas City was held at the Southern
hotel. They were reinforced by seceders
from the convention and adopted a set of
resolutions setting forth their views. The
preamble %recites, that,
WHEREAS tie inspection and approval
of meat products is necessary to COM
mand the confidence of the consumer,
and such inspection and approval should
be made under authority free from local
%preiudices, and the interests of consumers
and producers alike demand the best ia.
%cilities for marketing live stock and pro-
ducts, therefore, it is
ReSotued, That we favor a national
inspection law providing that it shall be
unlawful to transport from one state into
another state or foreign country any beef,
pork, mutton or veal to be sold for hui
man food which has not been inspected
alive at the slaughtering place by in
spectors of the United States and found
healthy.
The resolutions favor the appointment
of practical stockmen as national inspect
ors, and oppose local or state inspection
laws, which shall hinder full t~ransporta-
ton and the marketing of meet products,
as such laws would have a tendency to
DESTROY competition, and would not com.
mand confidence in foreign countries that
national inspection would.
A copy Of the resolution will be mailed
to each senator and congressman in the
United States.
