special to The MORNING GAIL

CALCUTTA, March 3o-A dispatch from
Manipur, Province of Assam, says that
James Quin,ou, the Chief Commissioner Of
Assam, has been investigating some of the
troubles which have occurred among the
native chiefs with the view of arresting one
Of them, who has been instrument i in de-
posing the Rajuh. The Commissioner oc-
cuDied a camp garrisoned by 4 strong force
of Goorkhas. native infantry in the British
service. Suddenly this camp was attacked
by nun b,r OF hostile tribes. 4 two days
battle. during which desperate fighting took
place. followed tie onslaught. The Goork-
has fought most deternineily against heavy
odds, and according to report 40 Of them
were killed. Seven British officers who ac-
companied the Commissioner, besides that
officer, cannot be found.
News OF the massacre was brought to
Kohima, on the Assam frontier, by two
CooTkhas. 1t originated in feud between
L.. R0jlh Of Manipur, and leading tribal
chief. The Raiah was deposed and ap-
pealed to the Viceroy MI Quinton was
sent to settle the trouble and started from
headquarters at Shillong, escorted by the
Forty-second and Forty-fourth Goorkha
Light Infantry. After crossing the frontier
Qunton summoned the chiefs to a durbar
st Manipur for the purpose OF arresting the
rebelious chief. The tribeSmen, pretend
Ing TO obey the summons, mustered in
force and at midnight on the day before the
day on which the durbar was to be held
suddenly attacked the camp Of Commits
sioner Qulnton, which lay between kohima
and Manipur.
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 forty eight hours.
Finally the ammunition Of the Goorkhas
gave out and Commissioner QIinton was
obliged to give the order: "Sauve qui
peut" During the fight scouts were sen
cut to try 10 communicate with Shill0ng,
but never returned. The Manipur natives
cut the telegraph wires and killed the mes
seugeTs.
The fugiuves reported that a general mas
sacre followed the taking OF the camp,
There is reason for believing that the esti-
mate that 40 were killed is inCOrrect.
One account of the affair reports that
Commissioner Quinton and his staff were
made prisoners, Another account says that
Colonel Skene, the Commander; C6mmis-
sloner Quintou, with his son and daughter
Captain Berleau and six officers were killed,
tie natives refusing TO show them any
mercy. The rehelious tribe is famous for
its cunning, cruelty anu bravery.

Possible Effect Of the Canadian Pacific and
New York Central Combination.

NEW YORK, March 30-The Post, In its
financial article, says: The new combina-
tOn of the Canadian Pacific with the New
York Central, by which the latter road lets
the former bring its freight and passenger
trains in over the West Shore and Central,
with as good facilities as the New York.
New Haven and Hartford road gets, is re-
garded very favorably-a sort OF guarantee
that the Canadian Pacific will not be dis
turber ofyates, as 1t has been so frequently
charged with being, and especially in the
eastbound rates from Chicago, via Wabash
and Canadian Pacific. This, therefore, af-
the trunk lines.

doubt that the fight over the use Of the

been engaged in enhancing tine natural ad-
vantages with varied means. Ihe exterior OIL
the building had been decked with pains
and bamboo sprays, which also lined the
stairway ascending to the hall door on the
first floor, where huge red screens protected
the audience from untoward draughis. In
the hall itself there were further evidences
of care and taste.
The stage had been extended ten feet and
covered with dTapeTy. Before IL and at tue
sides was massed pr0fusion of palms OF
every variety, while tail ferns clambered up
the columns supporting the prOscenlum
arch From the latter toward the back OF
the stage was dTaped broad eXpanSe Of
dark red material, improving the acousUc
properties Of the hall and constituting an
artistic background for the light toilets OF

intervals with Easter lilies, while still
higher were festoOnPd flowing scarfS OF

would gather together an almost unique col

Indeed, at one time it was feared that the
management would be swamped by veri-

musical genius. But thanks to the manage
