There were some six hundred of them
engaged in working gold mine on the

divided Into shares. Of which every
coolie had one. Other members OF the
community had more shares. according

For instance, the schoolmaster had

A CLEVER STRATAGEM.

How Telegraph Wires Have Been, and
Are, Protected i'm Chill.
When the electrical telegraph was
first introduced into Chill, q stratagem
was resorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part of the Araucanian Indians
and maintain the connection between
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between forty and
fifty captive Indians in the Chilian
camp. General Pinto called them TO-
gether, and pointing to the telegraph
wires he said: 'Do you see those
wiresr' .'Yes, General" ..Very good.
want you not to 60 near or touch
them; for if gou do, your hands will be
held, and you viii be unable to get
awav." The Indians smiled incredu-
lously. Then the General made them
each in succession take hold of the
wires at both ends of an electric bat
tery in full operation. After which he
exclaimed: Il command YOU to let 60
the wire" 81 can't; my hands are
benumbed, said the Indian. The bat
terry was then stopped and the man re-
leased. Not long afterward the Gen,
eral restored them to liberty. giving
them strict injunctions to keep the
secret, and not to betray it to theil
countrymen on any account. This had
the desired effect. for as might be ex
pected, the experiment was related ''if
the strictest confidence" to every mar
of the tribe. and the telegraph has evel
since remained unmolested. -Eteetrsca

taciturnity about his own affairs. and
dislike to talk about the affairs of

UNAVOIDABLE REPORT.
A Big Shortage In the Winter
Wheat Crop.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The Nav
crop report of the department of agri-
cultural says: Low temperature and
deficient rainfall, with drying winds
and some frost, have reduced the con-
ditiOn of winter wheat in the Central
states. 1t has also been cool on the At
lantic coast and not favorable to I'M
proyement, and yet the liant has nearly
held its own in this region. On the Pa
cific coast only medium development
is reported. In the Southern states.
changes are slight. several averages be-
ing the same as last month. Pennsyl-
vania shows decline of four points:
New York 16; Ohio 12; Michigan IL:
Indiana 6; Illinois Z: Missouri .; Kan
sas 3. The general average is reduced
nine points, from 81 to -. Last year
condition was reduced from ST. in
April to S5.S in May. The state averages
of winter wheat in the principal states
sylvaHia, 81; Virginia, 90; Ohio, Sc:
Michigan, "a; Indiana. 50; Illinois. 81:
Missouri, 80: Kansas. "a; Texas, 90.
Winter rye remains very nearly as in
April, the average being 90 9 instead of
93.5. The condition of winter barley is
SS.3, promising medium crop. Spring
blowing is not quite so we'll advanced
as usual. 1t is relatively later in the
more northern states of the Atlantic
coast, slightly later than usual in the
Middle states. and scarcely up to full
average in the South. Its progress is
an average in the Ohio valley, but late
in the Northwest. especially in Dakota.
An investigation of the rate of wages of
agricultural laber shows that no ma
terial change has occurred since the last
previous inquiry in May, 1885. There
is slight increase in New England, in
the northern tier of states, from Michi-
gan westward, and in some of the South
ern states. There is no appreciate
change in the central states. The next
monthly report will give rates by states.

TO MURDER THE WHITES.
Negroes Organize for the Purpose
of MaSSacreing White People.


of Massacreing White People.
ST. LOUIS, May 9.-Several reliable
gentlemen reported at Montgomery,
Ala, the following particulars, to
the purpose and extent of the plot laid
by the negroes at Sandy Ridge, Lowndes
county: A negro who was mortality
wounded made some very startling rev.
Citations. He states that Friday night
last was the time appointed to massacre
the whites. Meetings were held by the
lodges to raise money to purchase ANU
milton to kill the whites if they attempt
ed to arrest the negroes. The principal
negro engaged in the plot was Bob Rob-
inson, who was president of the meet
ing. Bob spoke very bitterly against
the whites, and implored his fellow
brothers to raise up in arms against
them. Neal Mangum was also deeply
implicated in the daring plot, and was
secretary and treasurer OF the
lodge. They claim to have large
societies throughout the United
States, who have resolved Mto
avenge their fallen ones, and to protect
their color in the future at all hazards.
The negro claims that Lowndes, Cren-
shaw and Butler counties have the
largest clubs and fully competent to do
their duty. They state that they have
endured the mistreatment of the whites
long enough and propose to put an end
to it or there will be bloodShed. All
the members of the lodges were notified
by the president that if they failed to be
present at the meeting of Friday night
or do their duty in the proposed massa-
ere of the whites. they would be put to
death. The above statement is from
Emerson Shepherd, under oath, in the
presence of four witnesses. This negro
was fatally shot in the fight with the
sheritf's posse last Thursday evening,
and has since died. He revealed the
whole plot, saying the leaders had
gotten him into this trouble, and as he
expected to die, it was his desire to see
justice meted out to them. Forty-eight
of the negroes engaged in the riot have
been arrested and jailed. The sheriff's
posse ana the state troops seem to have
put an end to the trouble for the pres
ent, but another outbreak is liable to
come sooner or later.

ALBERT LEA, May 10.-The Republi-
can county convention for the election
of delegates to the state and district
conventions will be held Saturday, and
the Democratic for a like object next
Monday. Republicans are not quite as
harmonious as they might be, and it
will be strange if the efforts of slate
makers do not stir up disagreeable an
tagonisms. McGill seems to have few
friends, the tendency being to favor
Merriam or dark horse. For congress
Capt. j. II. Mullen, of Wabasha, is
quite popular among old soldiers, but a
scheme is being worked in the interest
of Daniel Sinclair, of WinOna. He is
little known here among the people
generally, and would not be
popular candidate, his back
ing being confined entirely to
few politicians. Many of the leading
Republicans favor an uncOmmitted del
egation to the congressional convention,
composed of fairly representative men,
but there is little prospect of such one
being chosen, and the consequence may
therefore be repetition Of 1856. Among
Democrats the sentiment is yet strong
in support the Kelly-DOran regime.

again. The county is ordinarily Re-
publican by 1000 majority, but McGill's
majority was only 173, and Ames would
probably do as we'll on another trial.
Any able and popular Democrat of good
character and record, and capable of
making an active, aggressive can
vass, might do equally as we'll. This
is. however, presidential year.
Everybody is discussing the tariff ques-
ton. 1t is the chef topic i'll the cOun-
try debating clubs and tariff literature
is eagerly sought. The sentiment is.
without doubt, overwhelmingly in ia
vor of radical reduction of present
talilf duties, and it is almost equally
strong in favor of retaining the internal
revenue taxes. This sentiment will be
largely controlling one and the result
of the election will depend greatly on
the stand taken on tariff reform by the
two parties. The prohibitionists are or
ganized and are steadily at work. Their
best-posted leaders claim they will ill
crease their vote 80 per cent in the
state. Democrats are of one opinion as
to a congressional candidate-they are
all for Wilson.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
Terrible Ending of an Illinois
Law Suit.

BEECHER CITY, ILL.,, May 1O.-A triple
tragedy was enacted in the country near
here last evening. Henry Miller and
William Oderholt, farmers, had law
suit over trivial matter, and Miller,
the loser, swore he would get even.
After the trial, Miller, true to his word,
ShOuldered his rifle and went to field
where l.. G. Kinsey, one of Oderholt's
witnesses was blowing. Miller first
killed Kinsey's horse, and then shot
Kinsey twice, intiicting mortal wounds.
Then the slayer went to another field
where Oderholt was at work. Oder
hollis horse was first slain by Miller and
then Oderholt himself. 1t is supposed
that KinSey and Oderholt attempted to
shield themselves behind their horses.
When the revenge was complete,
Miller proceeded to the hut which
served as his home and, after setting
fire to the place, blew his own brains
out. His blackened corpse was found
in the burning debris when the fright
ened neighborS mustered courage to in
vestigate. Beside him lay two guns
and bowie-knife. Miller was a for
eigner, forty years old, and lived alone.
Kinsey and Oderholt were among the
most respected citizens of the county.
