SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May IA morn ing paper states that when the Charleston sailed Saturday morning it was under sealed orders. A cipher dispatch was received by Capt Remy at midnight ri- day.

An Attempt to Marder the Cxarswitch ot
 Russia.


 BERLIN. May 13.--A dispatch received here from Tokio, the capital of Japan, an nounces that an attempt has been made upon the life of the Czarewitch, but that the imperial traveller, though seriously wounded, is considered to be in no danger of dying. The particulars as to the att tempt at assassination received here are most meager. The only details given are that the Czarewitch was suddenly attacked by Japanese, who was armed with Q sharp sword. The Japanese, before be could bs overpowered, succeeded in inflict- ing severe wounds upon the Czarewitch, who defended himself gallantly. The mo- tive of the attack is not given in the dis. patch received here.
 ANOTHER VERSION.
 LONDON, May 13-A dispatch received hero from Japan confirms the re port that an attempt has been made on the G. are witch. This dispatch, however, says that the attack upon the heir to the Russian throne was made yesterday and hat the scene of the attempted assassination was at kioto (now officially called Saikio) or Western Capital, the former capital of Ja- pan, on the Island of Hondo, twenty seven miles by rail northeast of Oss aks and about 250 miles southwest of Tokio.

Tho Cowboys Dsy ia ton..

I met a cowboy yesterday who was
returning from the Western plains to
his home in Ohio. He was sad and his
face bore a doleful expression as he
narrated the memories of happy ranch
life never to be again. "The plains"
said he, "are nothing like they used to
be. Instead OF herds of buffalo and
cattle they now have boomers scrub.
stock and scalawag dogs, and instead of
cowboys, as in the past, the inhabitants
are settlers who have during the past
twenty years 'squatted' in nearly every
State and Territory west of the Missouri
River. So long as they kept out of the
Cravings country we didn't mind them.
but since there has been such a demand
for more land for settlers those fellows
have crowed their society upon US until
we had either to fght, get out or accept
them as neighbors.
i guess the general run of my kind
OF fellows would much prefer the first
proposition, but it doesn't pay. AS for
the last, it doesn't go at all. / know
We are rough fellows, and maybe we
don't seem any better in the eyes of the
world than 'buomers,' but that sort of
calculation is 'agin' us. I guess no fell
low ever made a success of COW punch.
j 3 wlio was lazy, and I know I never
met any fellow On the range who'd live
in a schooner and starve his family
sooner than work. A good many of us
could get little herds and keep at the
business if it wasn't for the boomers
but as they're coming we're going. I
don't think you'll find many Of the old
cowboys on the range after this year,
and next year you won't know by Wis
ting what wa once cattle-range coun-
try that there ever was such a set as
genuine cowboys"

A Newspaper Mar,

The genuine journalist is a right royal
fellow, who walks through the corridors
of time NTH elastic step and takes what
canes with the serene indifference
which philosophy alone can furnish.
For! example DR.. Guerrero, editor of
the Honduras, Nec'en, apologized to
his readers the other day for a delay in
the appearance of his paper. 1t was
caused, he said, by "the sad circum-
stances by which we were surrounded"
You might suppose that, like Senator
Quay, he had gone tarpon fishing and
missed the train. But not SO. He was
simply engaged in a little Instruction.
After a short tussle he was captured
and condemned to be shot. His family
got together $15, 600 and messengers
we're sent with this money as a ransom.
The yictors concluded that it was more
profitable to take money than life and
pocketed the cash.
Dr. Guerrero was ready to die, but
preferred to live. He lifted his hat in
acknowledgment of his purchased re-
lease. bowed himself out Of the GEM
pany ofdesperadoes, mounted his pony,
threw . kiss to his family as he rode BY
the house, went directly to the office,
started the presses, dictated ripping
leader and remarked to his constituency
that the crisis was over and he was
ready to receive subscriptions at the old
stand.

very dull place. after al.-Nep York
