A Successful Tunnel.

In an interview at Sarnia, Ontario,
Sir Henry Tyler expressed himself as well
satisfied with the progress OF the tunnel
works, and with the highly beneficial
change which the tunnel will work for
Grand Trunk trafic. 1.-THE opening,
which takes place September 10, will be in
the nature OF an inauguration of the fas
passenger and freight service of the CON-
pany between east and west On and
after the formal opening both passenger
and freight trains will commence running
through the tunnel. Regardingthe capac-
ity OF the tunnel and the volume of
trafic likely to pass through, nothing
definite can be said until the tunnel is in
operation However, a second tunnel
will, without doubt, be built, and the pros
poets are it will be commenced as soon as
the present one is in regular working
order"
The cost of the second tunnel, accordir z
to Sir Henry, will not at all figure up as
much as the first, on account of exper
ience gained and the company having the
machinery, plant, etc, for the work Of
the prospects of traffic this fall, Sir Henry
speaks highly, saying they were never
better. He expects a large volume of
freight from the western states east, and
also that the company's passenger trafic
will increase.

Excitement on Change.

The Chicago produce exchange ex-
perienced something of panic on tn
18th. At 1880 when trading began, the
wheat pit was packed with traders, and
the excitement which characterized Fri
days session was quadrupled When the
gong announcing the opening of the DAYS
business rang out mighty yell went up
II was impossible for some time to tel
what the price of wheat really was. for
there were half dozen different prices
yelled out in different parts of the pit,
ranging from sLOI5s TO sO3Js.
Wheat went up and down in big leaps,
going to l.031{ and from that point to 81 o5
almost in one bound AT Sl.08Jx E
Partridge came into the pit as a biz
buyer, but he could find no sellers No
body wanted to sell Just then and tn q

,orth between the two figures for 10.
10000.
During the last advance from sl.O5 to
sl.os, the scenes of confusion were inde
scribable. Every time there wss an ad
vance the bears got frightened and ex
erted every effort to unload at the 10 west
price, for fear there would be a drop as
sudden as the rise.
Then few minutes later. when the
market had again advanced, tne men who
had sold were clamoring to buy back thei,
wheat and were willing to pay from 10 8
cents more than they had previously sold
for. Over and over again this was repeat

struction of the village of Kokman through

over the mountains near Botzen, which is
protected from inundarion by a strong
dyke two miles in length. The fall of
water flooded the low lands and converted
a mountain stream into a torrent which

A Utah Mining Craze.

A dispatch from Ogden dated the
18th says: The excitement over the new
mining camp in Bear Gulch is reaching
fever heat Yesterday was not mark
er'' to what it is today. The road from
here to the mines is crowded with people.
Two hundred arrived here to-day from
Salt Lake City and left at once for the
mines. Every train brings new arrivals
who leave as soon as they can get convey
auces. Over three hundred Ogden people
went to the new camp to-day, and from al
appearances half the men in the city are
getting ready to go.
One hardware firm sold $50 outfits to-
day to miners and prospectors. One
stage line was put on to day and two more
go on in the morning.
The camp is about twenty five miles
east of this city, in a heretofore unex-
plored section. 1t is at an elevation of
about 5000 feet and is supplied with water
and timber. The first discovery was made
by a sheep herder about two weeks ago.
Since then the strikes that have been
made are numerous. Five DAYS ago only
six men were there; yesterday there were
500, with a stream of new corners pouring
in night and day. The town has been laid
out and is named La Plata.
The strikes so far show large vein of
copper ore. This is on Copper Hill on the
south side of Bear Gulch. 1t shows a belt
about fifty feet wide Immediately under
the grass roots and the ASSAYS so far re-
port an average of so per cent. copper and
eighteen ounces of silver. Six claims are
taking out ore, all supposed to be on this
vein.

FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.
Situation Serious.-Demonstration by
Foreign Powers.

Foreign Powers.
A recent dispatch from Shanghai
says: There is no use in Disgusting the
fact that a most serious state of affairs,
political exists in this country at the
present moment, and the combined fleets
of the powers may be called upon at any
moment TO take effective action. The
danger clouds have been seen on the hori
zon for months past, the smolderinE hres
caused by the agitation existing against
foreigners and others among the populace
have repeatedly broken out into flames,
but apparently without until suite re-
Gently, revealing the strength of the vol
cano which is threatening a most disss-
trous outbreak. Internal affairs, undoubt-
edly, are the inward and actual cause Of
the displays of i'll feeling against foreign
ers, which are only the outward signs of
the movement in progress.
In this city at present a state of great
excitement prevails at the increased and
still increasing tension between the
Chinese government and the ministers of
foreign powers. From all appearances
the former are obstinate in their refusal
to redress the injury done to foreigners
during the recent riots. Some people say
the government dares not take this step
demanded in common justice to the pow
ers for fear of mourning a storm of popu-
lar disapproyal; in any case there is no
doubt as TO the obstinacy of the refusal to
right the wrongs inflicted upon the for
eigu residents in China
On the other hand there il also no rea-
son to doubt that if the Chinese author
| tiles do not yield to the firm demands of
the ministers of the powers, concerted
hostile action upon the part of the war
vessels Of the various nations represented
! in these waters is immin ent Too much
damage has been done and too many out
| RACES have been perpetrated upon the
| foreign residents of this country to permit
! of the representatives of the powers sub
mitting any longer to being put of with
vague statements, which in the main
actually mean that China cannot or will
not redress the wrongs done to peaceful
residents of foreign nationality, and thai
China does not admit that the latter have
been outrageously treated in their persons
or in their possessions by Chinese mobs,
over which the authorities seem to have
no control.
Such is the state of affairs, and it is now
known that the foreign ministers have
been compelled to inform the Chinese
government that joint naval demonstra-
ton of an effective nature, in which the
French, American, British and Germ an
squadrons will take part, will be ordered
in the near future, unless speedy repara
tion is made for the injuries, outrages and
abuses complained of by the ministers OF
the powers.
Naturally, the foreign population OF
this city, being aware of the firm stand
taken by the ministers, and having knowl-
edge of the ultimatum sent to the Chinese
government, is in a state of considerable
anxious expectation, and will SO remain
until the reply Of the Chinese government
is made known.
