PAGES from where she stood. She dropped
her bucket and ran for the house, about
fifteen yards. and explained to the hired
man, between gasps, the Gauss OF her

nineteen shots at the quartette, killing
three Of them. Mr.. Chapman, who had
been away. arrived homo shortly after, and
started out with his rifle and a pack of
stag hounds after the fourth bear. which
came on the bear at the edge
of a timbered piece. and followed the bear
and the logs into the timber. The dogs
chased bruin ont into the open ground. and
Mr.. Chapman succeeded in laying lit low
with three shots. They were all tour silver
and a yesrling. Tn cubs weighed about
$50 pounds apiece. Mr.. Chapman has the
four hides to attest tho truth OF his nara

THEODORE THOMAS In HOT WATER
But the Musical League Takes No Action

But the Musical League Takes No Action
on His Alleged Boycott.
MILWAUKEE, March 2o.-The National
League of Musicians to-day discussed reso-
lutions bearing on the charges of Theodore
Thomas alleged boycott of Chicago musi-
clans. They declare that, in view of another
impending importation of foreign musicians,
in violation of the rights and privileges OF
American citizens under the alien contract
law; and in view Of the Chicago Orchestra
Associations scheme of securing Theodore
Thomas and colonizing in Chicago his SO.
called orchestra recruited in New York and
European musical centers, and expressly
stating that in their contract with
Mr.. Thomas no Chicago musi-
clans were to be contracted with
as regular members of his said orchestra;
and whereas, the Chicago Musical Society
denies the lack of capable performers on
any instrument, making importations un-
necessary, and whereas Mr., Thomas, as q
member of Local Union No. 1, New York,
is amenable TO the laws of this body, that
union is instructed by the resolutions to call
on Thomas to annul such contracts as con.
trary TO the spirit and laws of the league and
in case of his refusal, to discipline him to
the extent of its laws.
After heated discussion the resolutions
were finally withdrawn at the urgent request
of the New York union, because the Chi
cago delegates did not have any document
ary proof of their charges against Mr..
Thomas. The proposition to join the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor was finally ruled out of
order, and a resolution to make low pitch
the standard musical pitch of the United
States, was adopted.

A Lawyer Holds That Chinese May Legal.
Cross Over in Rowboats
UTICA, N. Y, March 2O.-In the trial o
j ames A. Miller, alias James Muldoon, fol
smuggling Cinnamon into this country,
now in progress before United States Dis.
trict Judge Coke, in this city, Attorney
DeAngelis, of this city, who was assigned
to defend the prisoners. raised an interest
ing point to-day.
The Cinnamon came to this country by a
rowboat across Niagara river. The statute
provides that it is misdemeanor to aid or
abet any Chinese person to enter the United
States by land. or to aid or abet any such to
land from a vessel. Mr.. De Angels argued,
and the Government admitted, that the
rowboat was not a vessel within the mean
ing of the statute. Mr.. De Angels argues
that coming by rowboat could not be con-
strued to mean coming by land. The effect
of this construction of the statute would en-
able Cinnamon to come to this country by
rowboats. The court held that for the pres
ent, he would hold the statute broad enough
to cover coming to this country by whatever
means, but promised to give the question
further consideration, and change his rul-
ing, ii wrong.

From the Demerqra ~ gosy

At the general meeting of the Royal A. aud
Commercial Society on Thursday, a letter
from Mr.. Rockford, manager of Pin. Success,
East Coast, was read, giving some informa-
ton regarding a deadly murrain amongst
cattle on some estates on the East Coast,
chiefly Lusignan, Non Parcel, Chateau Mar
got and Monlrnse. On a few estates nearly
800 horned cattle. brsidcs a few mules,
have fallen a prey to the disease, which III
its nature seems to be- as mysterious as IL Is
deadly. Amongst all the planters and others
who have seen the atf cited cattle, no one
could diagnose the disease or prescribe any
efficient remedy for it, although a free use
of tar upon the animals body seems IN some
cases to have avetted II fatal issue. The
symptoms are thus described by Mr Pasea
Of LuSignan -:
The disease begins with fearful sweating
and then great difficulty in breathing, with
a swelling under the throat. Green-

The official journal Of Martinique, lie
Moniteur, Of the 2jth Of August, contains two
DEGREES issued by the Governor, one authoris-
ing vessels under a foreign fig to carry on,
until further, the coaSting trade of the colony,
provided that they submit themselves to the
ordinary customs re ~ulatious the other APP
pointing commissions of aid for the sufferers by
the recent hurricane. This decree appoints
first a Central Md Commission, for the purpose
of determining, according to the necessities
of the several communes, what sums should be
placed at the disposal ofthe local COMMISSIONS.
The Central Commission consists Of the Cover
nor, as president the members Of the Privy
Council the Bishop of Martinique the Pre-

the Mayors of Fort de France and st. Pierre;
the presidents of the Chambers ofCommerce in
st. Pierre and Fort de France.
The local Commission Of aid in each Com-
mune is to consist of the Mayor Of the Com
mune and other persons indicated.
The M0mtte"r Of the 28th Of August contains
a circular from the Director Of the Interior to
the Mayors, in reference to the above. Among
other things be Tells them that they must pre-

those who have suffered losses, but only of
relieving those who in various ways have been
deprived of the means Of support. He says
thata sum Of $4,000 francs, remaining still at
disposal from the collection in aid of the
sufferers by the fire last year, is Immediately
available for distribution. The Director gives
the Mayors detailed instructions as to how they
are to proceed in distributing the money placed
at their disposal. If the retail dealers in the
commune will agree to sell their goods at the
prices before the hurricane, say those of the
18th August, then the Mayors are to dis
tribute the available amount in the form of
orders for goods. If the scarcity of provisions
or the want of good will on the part of the
the retailers, makes it necessary for the MUM
cipality to open dep6ts of provisions, then the
provisions will be supplied to such dep6ts by
the administration, and are to be sold at the
prices prevalent on 10Th August, either for
cash or in exchange for the orders of the Local
Commission.

Getting to M Market.

The Butchers Gazette reports as follows the condition of the San Fran cisco cattle market:
 Stocks have been accumulating and with free arrivals the corrals are full Some Arizona cattle have been killed during the past two weeks and some of then, are in very good condition Our local slaughterers have been buy ing largely in Arizona to stock their ranches in the southern part of the state.
 Sixty carloads arrived at Bakersfield on Tuesday to be fed in Kern county besides other large shipments, and they have been picking out the best and shipping them to market.
 Buyers who have been in northern California and southern Oregon report cattle plentiful and in better condition than they have been for four years. Hay is also abundant and cheap, and many will soon commence to feed for the winter market.

A Silver Lesson.

Professor Stockwell of Cleveland, one of the most distinguished mathe- maticians in this country, has taken the pains to compare the relative coin age value of silver in the three coun- tries, England, India and the United States. In England it has the value of $l 446SO5; in India it has the value of $1.359l23; in the United States it has the value of l.2929?9. He there fore pronounces the supposition ab- surd that the people of these countries would ship silver to this country for coinage. He also proves from figures of all countries coining silver that the coinage value Is higher than in the United States and that consequently we could open our hints as we did from 1792 to 1873 70 the product of the world, and we would not get an ounce outside of our own product.

The Other Side.

The answer to the complaint of the plaintiff in the suit of Pascholy vs Hare was filed today by Herring & Herring the defendants attorneys. He denies each and every allegation with the exception that he did get $4O0O from plaintiff. The story cut short is as follows as related in the answer. Igo had a hay contract at Fort Apache and Jo Pascholy was oh his bond Igo and Pascholy induced the defendant to go to Apache and fill the contract and relieve the plaintiff from his per- ilous financial position. The picture of the small amount of money needed and the easy task it was to perform as related in the answer, might be boiled down to use slang expression, ilto budding" for the defendant. When the defendant arrived at Apache how ever he found that the 5000 which plaintiff had said would fill the con- tract, was not a starter and after pay ing out $4000 of his own money, he telegraphed to the plaintiff for $400O more which was sent. Nothing was said or mentioned regarding interest or profits. The answer also relates the hardships which the defendant was obliged to undergo which were dangerous Tn the extreme. He asks the court to dismiss the suit and also for 5000 as just compensation for relieving the plaintiff from loss.

The case of Chong Sam, China man who entered the United States from Canada, and who was ordered deported to China, has been finally disposed of. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister, interested him. self in the case on the ground that the man had domicil ary residence in Canada, and had therefore been allowed to enter Canada, and in order to accomplish that purpose he urged that the president grant a pardon to the Chinaman.
 The president wrote to the secretary of state September 19 as follows: "1 have had under consideration the case of Chong Sam, a Chinese subject who crossed from the Dominion of Canada to the United States and was arrested at Port Huron for violation of our exclusion act, and in whose behalf Sir Julian Pauncefote, her Majesty's Min ister to this capital, has made some representations and requests that this man should be returned to Canada. You will please say to Sir Julian that if this were single cause it would give this government great pleasure to show it's consideration by comply ing with his request; bu. there is in volved in this case, in my opinion, the whole question of the success and en- fo-cement of our exclusion acts. If Chinamen can land in Canada and suffer no other penalty for crossing our line than that of being returned to Canada, from whence they may again repeat their attempt to get into our territory, our law becomes practi- cally dead letter. have, therefore, directed the secretary of the treasury to send him back to China.
