wnr In China.

SAN Francisco, June 5.-Thc steamer
City Of Pekin arrived from Yokahoma to-
day and brings some particulars of the
war against savages in Formosa. The
fight is being conducted in a desultory
manner. The Chinese troops have suf-
fered several severe repulses, and are un-
able 10 make any progress in the subjec-
ton of the country. Ii Is believed that
the troops in the north Of Formosa have
lost heavily both from attacks of the en-
euiy and from disease. In South For
I3no<e also the whole Chotan tribe of abor-
lss1n. have again taken TO the warpath.
This action was caused by the arrest and
confinement of two of their number for
petty offenses. The tribes marched
against the city where the men were con-
fined and threatened to kill the iniiabi-
tants unless the prisoners were released.
The men were accordingly surrendered
and the rebels departed. A force of 5000
men has been sent after the savages, who
retreated TO the mountains.

SAN Francisco, June 5.-A Chronicle
special from San Diego says: The inves-
t.Ration OF the proposed filibustering ex-
pedition against Lower California con-
tinues Ia reveal startling facts. A new
phrase is now put upon the affair. From

American C.t,I. I'm nr,,aip.

LONDON, June A deputation from
Scotland visited Hon. Mr.. Chaplin, the
minister Of agriculture, to-day and asked
him To modify the restriction against the
importation of American cattle. The
chief arguments in support of their re-
quest was the scarcity Of store cattle In
Great Britain aud the absence of pleuro-
pneumonia in America. Mr.. Chaplin
said the bulk of the farmers of Great
Britain favored the restriction and he was
unable Ia hold out the slightest Hope of
any modification of the present regula-
tions governing the importation Of cattle,
even IL cattle in America were entirely
free from disease.

TINT the corn burners OF Kansas, who were
in favor of the free coinage OF silver,

that 10 a large extent payments must bs
derived from the people along the lines OF
the roads; and, third, that the govern

and additional security as the companies
might be able To give. The report points
out the differences between the house and
senate bills and says the bills agree in
fixing the rate of interest at 3 per cent
for Union Pacific and per cent. for Cen

The Union Pacific st. Paul Fight.

CHICAGO, Dec 29.-President Miller, of
the Chicago, Milwaukee 81 ST. Paul rail
road said this morning he had called a
meeting of the new consolidated association
of western roads, to be held in New York
January ). He intimated that the present
complication with the Union Pacific about
the Omaha bridge matter might interfere
with it. IF the contract which the st.
Paul road has with the Union Pacific"
said Miller, .'cannot ne enforced. it will
not be expected that any private agreement
the presidents might make will hold good.
The st. Paul road is not alone in the fight,
the Rock Island having also received notice
from the Union Pacific that it will not be
permitted TO continue the present bridge
arrangement
The officers of the Rock Island and ST.
Paul roads claim that in May last a con
tract was entered into between the three
roads in interest and ratified by all the
boards of directors, whereby the st. Paul
and Rock Island roads were granted track
age facilities over the Union Pacific bridge
for an annual rental of SIS, 900. They ad-
nit the terms are very favorable, while the
new Union Pacific management claim the
rental paid is too small, and with view to
securing better terms are trying to abro-
gate the contract.

A Heated Anpeal to Irishmen.

DUBLIN, Dec. 29-Vincent Scully, re-
Gently defeated by Sir John Pope Hen
Messy, in the contest for the North Kill
kenny seat in parliament, has written
letter to the Freemdn's Journal in which he
says that the attitude of the Irish bishops
before and during the election referred to
only shows Parnen committed private
vice and allowed Judgment by default to be
delivered against him and therefore he has
been pronounced no longer eligible to
position Of public trust" Continuing
Scully says:
The Irish struggle is essentially a political
and not q moral one. a struggle Tor leave for the
Irish to manage Irish affairs after their own
fashion; the struggle is one of pounds, shflllngs
and pence and not of sacraments. Alhlone,
Roscommon and Westmeath are excited by a
proclamation placardedi in all prominent places
il states that true Irishmen have resolved TO
support their independence and that the Kill
kenny reverse Is q trumpet call for you TO
close youcranks and make a last supreme fight
for the cause 1t adds that ''fatherland is
threatened BY q calamity surprising a thou
sand coercion actS-the lowering of the flag of
independence on vague promises of British
statesmen. Irish history teens with disasters
resulting from reliance placed upon English
promises" Continuing. IL asks the people to
sustain the tried policy Of an independent party
IN parliament. adding that with the people of
Ireland ana America united behind it. il should
sustain the lerder who made that policy and led
you 10 victory until now. The issue between
the independent party was as to whether the
people should choose their own leader and
party or as to whether they should become
merely part OF the English Liberals and ac
cept the leader dictated by English leaders.
That would not be home rule. We want real
home rule, home rule for which Emmett aud
other patriots gave their noble lives. We were
advancing to victory under good leader. Sup

THE LOUISIANA STATE LOTTERY
Is Without President-Sketeh of the Life Of
DR.. Dauphln-The Status of the
Irish Quarrel.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29.-TSpecial
telegram to THE HERALD. Idaho is at the
front in the Senate to-day. The Senate
spent nearly two hours discussing the
right of the state legislature to elect
three Senators at one session, and the
whole matter, at Mr.. Hoar's suggestion,
was finally referred to the committee on
privileges and elections, Of which MIR. Hoar
chairman.
Governor Shoup is the only one
of the two Idaho Senators who has
thus far put in an appearance. HIS col
legue, Mr.. Mcconnell, is en- route
to Washington. He will arrive on
Friday. He evidently does not I'M
1erstand that the Republican leaders are
awaiting his presence before proceeding
to force matters on the closure resolution
The Republicans need all their strength in
the rapidly approaching fight over the
change in the rules. For this reason Gov
ernor Shoup was somewhat disguised
when he received telegram from McCon-
nell, asking if his presence here was neces-
sary. He replied that 1t was and advised
Mcconnell, as good party man, to get
here at the earliest opportunity.
After the governor was sworn in o-day
he went over on the Republican side and
with characteristic western modesty
seated himself on the outer row.
Frank Hiscock, of New York, was
making a dreary speech in sup
port Of the force bill. The new Idaho
Senator was his only auditor, every other
Senator on both sides of the chamber had
sought the seclusion of the cloak room. L
was terrible dose, but Shoup stood il
bravely for two hours until Hiscock fin
ished. He evidently felt that he was re-
ceiving his first lesson in senatorial cour-
tesy. The governor is as yet Legislative
tenderfoot When he has served a novici-
tate of thirty days he will know better how
to escape gracefully from a tiresome speed
quite as well as Edmunds, Hoar and Sher
man and the rest of the veterans.
