SAN Francisco. Feb "A raid was
made last night by the police on the Chi
nese highbinders' quarters Twenty-Five
places were visited and furniture, gods,
pictures, ct. were broken into kipdling
wood. In several places weapons we're
found, but generally the highbinders were
warned in time and removed all portable
properly. The latest scheme of the DO
lice is to destroy the fixtures of the high
binders as Often as they are renewed, and
thus drive them ont OF the city. But it
is probable that the power of the police
to destroy this property will be tested in
court, as 1t will be very hard to prove the
character Gf the societies. The police Sc
verify is due to the many recent cases OF
shooting and blackmail by highbinders.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 3.-The u 5
toms officials have Just learned that they
have been swindled out of about $50, 900
revenue by sharp Cinnamon. 1t is the
custom here when goods are imported to
take to the appraisers store 10 per cent
OF them from which the total duty is cal
culated. Tho broker files a bond of $500
for the payment of the duty and the
owner is hen allowed to take the other
nine tenths out. Jan. l a Chinamau
went through this routine with a large
shipment Of opium, but now that he is
wanted to pay the duty he cannot be
found. The government has 10 per cent
of the shipment, worth about SO, 500,
while tue amount the Chinaman carried
away would bring a duty of fully $50, 900.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-Advices from

say the silk trade is in a very bad way.

ent appearances the losses will continue
for some time yet.
A serious state of affairs exists il Siam
owing to the failure OF the rice crop. The
Mercantile Gazette of Yokohoma says that
unless efficient measures are taken to
meet the emergency rebellion and riot by
the starving unemployed, followed by
epidemics, will surely be the order Of the
day.

The small boy worked off n stock o.
fun at the parish social of Holy limo
cents church, which was held at the
rector's residence one evening. The
boy in question was on hand early, and
was demurely seated in n corner wheR
his elders arrived. One by one, as
they approached the amiable rector
and his wife, to extend the greetings of
the evening, they were seized with q
violent sneezing and coughing. Final
ly the whole room was in an uproar.
A general panic of influenza seemed
imminent. 1t was only when a sup
pressed giggle from the corner was
heard that suspicion pointed in that
direction. The urchin was hastily sum
rIoned before a judge and jury, and,
amid a burst Of sob and tears, that
showed his pleasure to be at low ebb,
he confessed to having s~prinkled the
floor with red pepper.
After n lengthy lecture from the pas.
tor he was handed over to the mem.
beers of the church who were present as
a special subject for prayers. Indian.

The house then went into committee Of
the whole on the diplomatic and consular
appropria ion bill
McKeuna of California. replying to
NcCreary's criticism a few days ago OF
the Barrundia case, defended the action
OF Minister Miner in the matter. If he
(McKenual understood Miners situa
ton, he was supported by every publicist
of repute. Miner had a strong regard
for the flag and as tender constituencies to-
wards it as any gentleman on the floor.
He (McKenns) asserted that in his situa-
ton at his post in Guatemala Miner did
himself honor and his country honor.
Applause.
Dalzell OF Penusylvania came to the
defense OF Commander Reitsr. In due
:ime he proposed to submit some remarks
in support of these PROPOSITIONS: That
the secretary OF the treasury had no right,
under the law, to administer a public
reprimand to Commander Reiter. as he
had done by the insulting letter published
in the press; second, that Reiter and
Miner followed international law as prac-
ticed in the last fifty years 10 the coun-
try's history.
Hit Of illinois made a most eloquent
defense of the state department. He re-
viewed the case at length aud said, in
closing, God grant that no man OF any
party shall be ever secretary OF state who
will not disavow the act of a minister
who orders the surrender OF a political
victim who trusts to our protection, and
the act OF a commander who sits supine
with two war vessels at his back INT per
mits such a bloody tragedy and disgrace
to our national name. Applause
After further debate. the committee,
without ~disposlng OF the bill, rose and
the house adjourned.

BRDGEPoBT, Conn, Feb. 3.-There is
confined in the county Jail at Litchfeld a
mar who, though not guilty of any crime
Is practically imprisoned for life. He is a
French Cauadian of the name OF Michael
Bion. Already he has spent one year in
the jail, but recently friends raised a sum
of money and at the term of the superior
u mex Tuesday for Litchfield county
habeas corpus proceedings will be insti-
tuted in an effort to secure his release.
Bion was placed under 5000 bonds to
keep the peace, and being a poor man
was. of course. unable to secure it. The
charge against HIM was that he had
threatened the life of Commissioner Dun
ming of East Canaan. 1t is said Bion
can never hope to furnish the bonds as
long as Commissioner Dunning lives. The
matter has been before the superior court
of the county, but State Attorney Hunt
ingtou is determined that Rion shall stay
in Jail

READING, Pa, Feb. The puIdlers
Of the Brook Iron company t-Birdsboro,
this county, refused to accept the proposed
reduction Of twenty-five cents per ton and
the rolling mill closed down this morning.
About four hundred and City hands are
thrown out of employment. The lockout
is the result of the men refusing u accept
a reduction in their wagCs. President
lIessig says that the uniayoruble and IN.
satisfactory condition OF the iron trade at
the present time justified the reduction.
If business brRhtens the company

what senntor slewnrt HOPES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SENATOR Stew
arts profound antipathy to the president
aud his silver policy led him to say yes
terday: | think the president will IN
doubtedly appoint some gold bug to ill
the place made vacant bg the death of
Secretary Window. But | hope that
whoever is appointed Harrison will not
kill him by forcing him to make speeches
against free coinage. | am confident
that Mr.. Windom's death was due to the
tact that he spoke at the Board of Trade
dinner IN New York. lie appeared there
at the earnest request OF the president,
who knew that Mr.. Window was suffer
ing from heart disease. The president
was aware the occasion would be a great
opportunity TO present the views OF the
administration. and that TO one could
give them so much force and effect as his
secretary of the treasury. MIR. Window
was a tull blooled man, and the trouble
with his heart was of course aggravated
by any unusual exertion. | do hope the
president will not kill his successor BY
making him uphold the views of the ad-
ministration in an official way.

Carried out Into Lake Huron.

BAY Cry, Mich, Feb. 3.-Much ex.
element prevails here concerning the re-
port that many fishermen have drifted
into Lake Huron on the ice field carried
out OF Saginaw bay by a strong south
wind today. The fishing village is about
fifteen miles northeast of this city and FIVE
miles from land. 1t is estimated that 200
men were engaged in spearing fish. and
first reports were to the effect that all
were lost. Toward evening several of the
fishermen reached Essexville, a suburb OF
this city, and reported that most of their
companions had reached the shore in
safety. The best authority obtained
places the number of castaways at from
twenty to fifty. Those acquainted with
the situation say they will reach shore be-
fore the ice passes outside OF Saginaw
bay. If they do not there Is no hone of
their being rescued.
