A REBELLION IN INDIA.

Natives of Assam Massacre Whole
Camp of 40.
A dispatch from Manipur, province Of
Assam, India, brings news Of disaster
to force of native troops there. 1t
seems that James w. Quinton, the
chief commissioner of Assam, has re-
Gently been investigating some serious
troubles among the native chiefs. AS a
result of his investigation the chief COM
missioner was holding conference at
Assam with the view Of arresting one Of
the prominent chiefs who had been in
strumental in deposing the ra jah. The
chief commissioner occupied camp
which was garrisoned by strong force
of Goorkhas, native infantry in the
British service. Suddenly this camp
was attacked by number of hostile
tribes led BY their chief. A two days
battle, during which some desperate
fighting took place, followed. Accord
ing to the report 40 of the Goorkhas
were killed. Seven of the British Off
GERS who accompanied the chief COM
missioner, and that official himself, are
missing.
The ncws Of the massacre was brought
to Kohima, on the Assam frontier, by
two Goorkhas, who arrived there yes
terday. The massacre originated in a
feud between the rajah of Manipur and
leading tribal chief. The rajah was
deposed and he appealed to the
viceroy. Mr.. Quinton was sent to set
tie the trouble, and started from the
headquarters at Shillond escorted by
the Forty second and Forty fourth
Goorkha Light Infantry. After crossing
the frontier Mr.. Quinton summoned the
chiefs to a durbar at Manipur for the
purpose Of arresting the rebellious chief
The tribesmen, pretending to obey the
summons. mustered in force, and at mid
night before the day on which the
durbar was to be held suddenly at
Quinton. The attempt to surprise
the camp failed, and the tribesmen
were driven back. They returned,
however, and kept up the attack and
siege night and day for weight
hours. Finally the ammunition of the
Goorkhas gave out and Commissioner
Qulnton was obliged to give the order
Tor each man to save himself if posi-
BILE. During the fight at the camp scouts
were sent out to try to commune
cate with Shillond, but they
never returned. The Manipur natives
cut the telegraph wires and killed the
messengers. Fugltlves report that a
general massacre followed the taking Of
the camp. One account Of the affair re-
ports that Commissioner Quinton and
his staff were made prisoners. Another
account says that Col. Skene, the com
mander, Commissioner Quinton, with
his son and daughter, Capt. Boileau and
SIX officers were killed, the natives
refusing to give them quarter. The
rebelllous tribe is famous for cunning,
cruelty and bravery. Immediately
upon receiving the news of the disaster
the viceroy at Simla summoned coun-
Gil. Two native regiments stationed in
Assam have already been dispatched to
Manipur. The Third Bengal Infantry
will start for the scene tomorrow.
Inc viceroy of India has abandoned
his tour and has started for Simla. Five
regiments and mountain battery have
been ordered to Manipur.

JnDaid Bills at Auction.

There was an exciting scene at the
New York Real Estate Exchange on
the 18th, when Martin F. Hatch. acting
for the Merchant Tailors' Society,
stood, with gavel in hand, before a
crowd of several hundred prominent
business aud society men, and sold to
the highest bidder about thirty-fve I'M
paid tailor bills. These bills bore the
names of well-known New Workers and
those who did not seize the opportunity
to pay up before the sale were held up
to public ridicule. The lucky fellows
who could settle up had their names
stricken from the list. The ridiculous
ness of the sale can be realized when
several bills amounting to seven hun
dred odd dollars were sold in bunch
to Hebrew tailor for 81.

Iowa EpohibitiOniStS.

President j. Ii. Harvey, of the Iowa
State Temperance Alliance, has taken
steps to reopen the question of the pro-
hibitOry constitutional amendment
voted on by the people in
1882, and carried by 10000
majority. Owing to clerical err
rors the amendment was annulled by
the state supreme court, and the pres
ent prohibitory law was then passed by
the General Assembly The Temperance
Alliance still insists that the amendment
is part of the constitution, notwithstand-
ing the decision of the court. The the
DRY is that the question was purely a po-
litical one and not legal one to be passed
upon by the courts. President Harvey
has demanded of Secretary of State
Mcfarland a certified copy Of the con-
stitut1on including this amendment.
Mr.. Mcfarland refused on the ground
that the amendment was not part of
the constitution. Mr.. Harvey then had
served upon Secretary Mcfarland a
notice setting out that petition would
be on file Immediately in the district
court asking writ of mandamus COM
polling him to certify as demanded.
