HARD ON THE CHINESE

A Recommendation for Vigorous Fn-
foroement OF the Law to KceP Them
Out of This Country.
Representative Lehlbach Wednesday
made report to the house on the re-
suit of the visit of the subcommittee
of the immigration committee of the
house and senate to the Pacific coast TO
investigate the Chinese question. The
report says that the number of Chinese
in this country is decreasing in conse-
quence OF the Chinese exclusion act,
although not as rapidly as the commit
tee deem desirable, this being due to the
difficulty in enforcing the law. The report
expresses the opinion that If the pres
ent law is strictly enforced it will not be
long before the Chinese race in the
United States will be extinct. The
Chinese quarter in San Francisco is
spoken of as n pest-breeder which
should not be tolerated in any American
community. The Chinese are inveter-
ate gamblers, and their lotteries, the
report says, flourish to such an extent
that it seems impossible that such a
state of affairs could exist, except with
the connivapce of the authorities. The
Chinaman is described as having his
good qualities and being Industrious,
but the committee is of the opinion that
to rescind the Chinese act would surely
result in the whole Pacific coast being
overrun with Chinese, with resultant
serious labor troubles The committee
recommends that the present law be
kept in force and vigorously executed

THE HUNGARIAN DESERT.
Its Queer Formations and Interesting Pro-
ductions.

Its Queer Formations and Interesting Pro-
ductions.
The desert region called Zungaria,
which lies on the western borders of
Mongolia, rises to height of about
twenty-five hundred feet, but descends
from it at many points. The soil is
chiefly composed of the clay called loess,
a mixture of very fine sand and gray
or yellowish calcarous earth. This
argillaceous mass is pierced, like a
sponge, by numerous tubes or pores,
which are often lined with incrusta-
tions formed by herbaceous plants.
The winds and the rain shape these de-
posits into abrupt, elevated, square-cut
masses. This property of forming a
kind OF vertical cliffs, with the porous
texture and the absence of stratifca-
ton, are characteristic of the loess, as
is also the presence of terrestrial or
lacustrine remains instead of sea-fos-
sils. Being exceedingly fine in consti-
tuition and well charged with certain
salts, the loess is generally, when well
irrigated, exceedingly fertile. In all
the tillable regions of Central Asia, in
cluding China, it plays the same part as
the "black earth" of Russia. The
mountains which form on the south the
western border of Zungaria are rich in
minerals. Gold is an important pro-
duct of the region of Khotan, where
there are twenty-five mines, some of
them employing three or four thousand
workmen. This region has long en-
joyed the honor of being the known
place where nephrite or jade was found.
The beds of that rare substance was in
the district of Karakach; but the quarry
ing for it has greatly fallen off since
the disturbances that occurred during
the brief reign of Yacoub Beg in Kash-
gar.-Interior.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Two SUGAR plantations in Louisiana
have produced the past season 4,70O, 900
and 4,46S,OOo pounds of sugar respect
lively.
THE development of smokeless coal
mines in Tonquin shows much larger
deposits than were at first believed to
be possible.
THEY are talking about drilling a
well at Butler, Penn, to be 10000 feet
deep, with the idea of "piping off heat
for economic purposes"
THE decrease in the shipbuilding of
the United Kingdom during 1890
amounts to 29,s2S tons in the aggregate,
but the production of the Scottish yards
has increased 81, 900 tons.
VIRGINIA, North Carolina and Ten
nessee raise an average Of 2,970,OO0
bushels of peanuts year. The annual
value of the crop averaged 81, 800, 900 for
the last four years.
GREAT quantities of buttons are now

A GREAT FLOOD.
The Cumberland River Rising at
an Alarming Rate.
some Five Hundred Families at Nashville
Drowned Out.

The Cumberland river is several feet
above the danger line at Nashville,
Tenn, and is rising at an alarming
rate, experienced river men predicting
that the greatest flood ever known will
be there by Tuesday night Already
over five hundred families have been
drowned out by the water and much
property destroyed owing to the sud-
denness of the rise. Street car traffic has
been abandoned on several lines. The
gauge at 10 o'clock Sunday night
shows. 48 $40 feet, which is
seven feet below the disastrous
flood of 1882, when half of the
city was submerged and property val
ued at hundreds of thousands destroyed.
Reports from up-river sustain the pre-
diction that the present flood will be
more disastrous than that of 1882. The
severest rain storm for years has pre-
vailed almost throughout the entire
state of mississippi during the
past thirty-six hours. Five inches
of rain fell at Vicksburg, and the heav-
lest rainfall ever known is reported
from many points. The rainfall in
Memphis, Tenn, and section of the
south for the past few days, is unprece-
dented. Nearly five inches has fallen
in Memphis during the past forty-elght
hours Specials from the adjacent
country report the heavy rain as gen.
eral. The entire lower part of Canton,
Miss, is under water and all trains on
the Illinois Central road are delayed.

The brusque and fussy i'm.
pulse of these days of false
impression would rate down
all as worthless because one
is unworthy.
As if there were no notes
in sunbeams !
Or comets among stars
Or cataracts in peaceful
rivers
Because one remedy pro.
fesses to do what it never
was adapted to do, are all
remedies worthless?
Because one doctor lets his
patient die, are all humbugs1
1t requires a fine eye and
a finer brain to discriminate
to draw the differential line.

High School at Monr oe, N. c., Burned
Two Youths Meet Their Death.
Fire was discovered in the Monroe
IN. O. high school early Thursday
morning. An alarm was at once sent
in and the students of the school
aroused as soon as possible, but it was
too late to save the building. Two
young men, Thomas E. Pemberton, of
Little Rock, Ark, and Albert Bost, of
Bost's Mill, NC, perished in the flames.
At the first alarm the young ladies, who
roomed on the ground floor of the
school building, made their escape. The
young men roomed on the third floor,
and when the alarm reached them the
means of escape were partially cut off
and the building was filed with flames
and smoke. Pemberton was not seen
at all and his remains were found on
the wire springs of his bed, which leads
to the belief that he did not wake at
all. The school building and furniture
were entirely burned up.

Up to midnight Friday returns have
been received from 19s constituencies
out Of 215 in the whole dominion Of
Canada, two of which did not elect
Thursday. These returns show the fol.
hwing: In Ontario 50 out Of 02 con.
stituencies elect As liberals and "A con.
servatives-a net liberal gain of IL. In
Quebec sixty-one constituencies out OF
sixty-five elect SO liberals and 81 conser~
vatives, u net liberal gain of Q. One labor
candidate was elected in Montreal. In
Nova Scotia seventeen constituencies
out of twenty-onc elect 40 liberals and
10 conservatives; no gain for either
side. In New Brunswick thirteen
constituencies out of sixteen elect
liberals and II conservatives, net
conservative gain of 8. In Manitoba
four constituencies out of five elect
one liberal and three conservatives
No gain ON either side. In Prince Ed
ward Island six constituencies complete
elect four liberals and two conserva-
tives. No gain on either side. British
Columbia returns indicate that the con.
servatives will carry all of the four con.
stituencies. No change from the last
house. Returns from the northwest
territories indicate that the gov.
ernment will carry all of the
four constituencies there. No change
from the last house. The conservatives
have, therefore, elected 1OS members
and the liberals so. The liberal net
| pain is 1S and as IL was necessary for
them to make clear gain of twenty
six seats to defeat the government by a
bare majority, it is safe to say that the
Mac Donald government is sustained by
anywhere from 10 to Is majority.

His Attention Called To the Congress OF
American Nations.
The Heraldo, of Madrid, in an article
protesting against u supposed scheme
of the United States government to an
mex the island of Cuba, says Mr. Blaine
ought to recollect that the congress
of American nations plainly proved
that Spanish-Americans are not dis
posed to allow themselves to be absorb
ed by the great northern republic. The
people of Cuba, it says, are strongly
Spanish, and are equally opposed to
becoming part of the United States.
Probably with the exception of few
tradesmen, there is no one on the island
who is at all desirous of annexation.
Spain, the Heraldo continues, would
shed her last drop of blood in resisting
any attempt to deprive her of her
colony, fearing neither Cuban revolu-
ton nor war with the United States.
