TRANSPACIFIO ADvICES.
Politics, Fire. Hard Times and the
Grip tm Japan.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-The steamer
Belgic arrived this morning from Hong
Kong and Yokohama. Japan news
pspers are full of articles on the political
situation and the programme of the
parties. Some of the papers advocate
the appointment of Mr.. Mutsu, the
japanese Minister to the United States,
| to be president of the new House of Repre-
sentatives. February 1lth, the 2550th
anniversary of Jimmu Tennos, the acces-
sion and founding of the imperial line
also anniversary of the granting of the
new constitution, was duly celebrated as
holiday.
THE CHINESE TRUNK LINE RAILWAY.
Vicercy Chang Hi Tung is said to have
obtained the assistance of four foreign
mining and metallurgical engineers to
prospect for coal and iron mines in the
country through which it is planned to
make trunk railway between Hankow
and Peking pass. He is reported, as far
as his influence goes, to be seriously bent
on constructing this line, which has re-
ceived the nominal sanction OF the En-.
peror but he is still adverse to the employ
ment of foreign capital or foreign mate
rial. A railway engineer attached to the
German legation, has been engaged to
make preliminary survey of the coun'
/ try.
The Overland China Mail says: "We
fear that if the Hankow railway has to
wait till coal and iron mines are opened
cut and rails manufactured in China, il
| is more likely to be the end than the
beginning of the next century before the
hip trunk line is com Dletpd -

THE REBELLION IN FoRMOsA.
China advices state that the aborig.
ines of Formosa banded themselves to
gether and offered 80 determined opposi
tion to the Chinese troops, that were
trying to quell the former, that the com
mander of the Chinese forces, after 200 o
his men had been led into ambush and
all but ten slaughtered, gave up the cam
paign against the rsbels, and opened
friendly negotiations with them. The
natives, on receiving promises of large
concessions, agreed to abandon their hos
| tile attitude toward the Chinese authori
ties. Brigandage, however, is still ram
pant.
The French and Chinese telegraph
lines will soon be connected at Mongteze
on the Tonquin- Chinese frontier.

KANSAS Cry, March 9.-The charges
made by Alderman Ford concerning the
frightful condition of the prisoners con-
fined in the workhouse, are found to be
true. Two reporters of the Times in

found about seventy-fve male prisoners
crowded into narrow and filthy cells,
reeking with vermin and not provided
with sanitary regulations. The men are
constantly manacled with shackes
weighing from five to thirteen pounds.

For these seventy-fve prisoners there
are but two guards. The guards say on
account of the desperate character of the
men, it is necessary to shackle them TO
prevent their escape. 1t is thought likely
that brick prison will be erected pro.

The convention at Krisch hall will
be called to order at II am.

The old courthouse raccoon feels
very much elated over the rumpus

The new campaign paper called

pear next Monday. 1t will be red

A few disgruntled Office holders
are mad at the LIGHT, because it is

PIE ONLY.

drop few of its leaders, and then
kick a few of the Jim Davis demo.
Gratis out of its ranks, harmony could
prevail again.

a colored republican League.
The Old Grey Mule, four BARRIERS
and few colored democrats will hold
meeting tonight to condemn the

Prof. Jim Davis is still mad because
ne was not appointed census enumer-

have appointed him inspector of pau

assistant to the mayor, will address

UNDER THE WHEELS.
A Negro Asleep on the Track and
the Usual Result.

A Negro Asleep on the Track and
the Usual Result.
This morning about 3 o'clock an
outgoing freight train of the Southern
Pacific going west, ran over and kill
ed a young negro named William
Eads, who was about 20 years OF age.
The circumstances indicate that he
had been drunk and laid down ON
the track and so met his fate, as he
had just come in from the country,
where he had been at work. No one
witnessed the accident and the train
did not stop, and it is probable that
the men on the train knew nothing of
the accident. Nothing was known of
it until this morning when he was
found by the members of his family.
The wheels passed over the body in
the middle, cutting it completely in
two and throwing the two halves on
either side of the track where it re-
manned for some time viewed by num-
bers of curious people.
The inquest is not yet concluded

why Strikers Fail.

From Denver Republican.
One reason why labor OrganiZa tons
do not accomplish more than they do,
is because they fail to act together.
In the strike on the New York Gen.
trail, the locomotive engineers are de-
termined to side with the corporation,
and defeat the strikers if they can.
This is because the strike is under
the auspices of the Knights of Labor.
The engineers are glad of the oppor-
tunity to punish the Knights of Labor
for the aid they gave the Burlington
the engineers on that road. The
time that they were justified because
of some similar action by the brother
hood men during previous strike on
Pennsylvania road. Following this
policy out, the next time the brother
hood men strike, the Knights of La
Dor will claim right to oppose them,
because of the position which the en-
gineers have taken on this New York
Central strike. This is q fortunate
condition of affairs for the right rail-
way corporations. AS long as the rail-
way companies can play the brother
hood against the knights and the
knights against the brotherhood, the
success of any great railway strike
will be very doubtful. The engineers
and the Knights of Labor form two
great divisions in the labor camp.
United, they would be strong. Di-
vided, they are not capable of con-
tending against organized capital.
Notwithstanding that the Wander
bilt system has many rival railway
companies to contend with, not one
of those companies is doing anything
to cripple the New York Central, In
so far as its contest with the knights
of Labor is concerned. Capitalists
are nearly always found on the same
side.
