velopment in the working Of the Chi
nese Exclusion act A Chinaman in
Jail in Tucson last week gave an ex-
PLANTATION Of the attempted exodus Of
Chinese from Mexico into the United

who was recently arrested for illegally
entering the United States from Mexi-
co and was taken to SanFancisco, had
first sent home all his savings of sew
eral years work in Mexico, and then
deliberately crossed to the United
States that he might be captured and
sent home to China at the expense Of

Bold Work of Circus Ruaians.

WELLINGTON, Kan, September o.
Vest erday while Wallace & Co. 8 show
was exhibiting here Deputy Sheriff
Dickinson, Of Elk county, arrested q
fakir who was charged with fleeing a
countryman out of $40 by the change
racket at Howord the day before. An
attempt at rescue at the time of arrest
was foiled by the local officers, and Q
subsequent effort to secure the fellows
release on q writ OF babeas corpus was
ed the evening Southern Kansas train
with his prisoner, several Of the circus
gang also got on the train unknown to
him. As the train slowed up at Dalton,
q small station six miles east, they
made rush on the unsuspecting,deputy,
who was soon overpowered and de-
prived OF his weapons. At the Same
time the train was boarded by eight or
nine of the same gang, who were in wait
ing at the station. The engineer and
fireman were held I'D in regular train
robber style, while passengers and
trsinmen were likewise intimidsted by
the raffians' revolvers. Dickinson made
q gallant fight, but was brutally beaten
over the head by half q dozen pistolo
while the prisoners shsckles were be-
ing cut by an Ak and cold chisel, after
which he was hurried out of the car and
the train allowed to proceed, the whole
party riding of in the darkness to-
ward Wellington. None of the partici-
pants in the outrage wore masks or at
tempted any concealment whatever. At
Caldwell, where this circus exhibited
to-day, two OF the gang were arrested
by Sheriff Morse, OF this county. Dick
inson, the wounded officer, will proba-
bly, die from the effects of the terrible
clubbing he received.

DISGUSTED BOOMERS.
Thousands of People on the
Back Track.
The Townsite of Chandler, Which had a
Population of Five Thousand, Now
Entirely Notwithstanding
the Strip.

GUTHRIE, Ok, September 2S.-The
disguised crowd still continues TO pour
in from Chandler, and the trains from
town are loaded with people anxious to
get home. The crowd that is leaving
is not as good natured as it might be.
The railroad mel report fights on every
train.
Out of the 5000 people who rushed
for Chandler not more than 1,S00 re-
main there. Every precaution is now
being taken to keep wagons out Of Bell
Cow creek, and to keep the spring in as
good condition as possible, but water is
still almost as scarce as gold.
The surveyors seem to be doing little
toward getting their work finished,
and while some people will take up lots
on the government quarter section
when it is opened, the main town will
probably always be on the west half
section. where the people are now
camped.
Several merchants here who sent
wagons filled with goods to Chandler
have ordered them hauled back.
The crowd about the land Office is
larger to-day tnan yesterday, and the
long procession will keep up for at
least week. There is very little money
in the crowd. Many people have had
to telegraph home for money to make
their filings.
Every courier from Chandler brings
a worse tale of suffering for water. A
hundred people are sick, and one woman
is dying. Seventy horses have died,
and hundreds more are suffering terri
bly,.
Anumber Of men from Saltwater have
founded a town in the Sac and Fox
country. calling it Saclahoma, and are
already pushing newspaper. Under
tie law opening that reservation to
homestead entry only, town cannot le-
gally exist there, and they will be COM
PEELED to leave.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., September
2S.-A great many wagons are trailing
back over the Cherokee strip with peo-
pie who failed to get claims in the
lands opened Tuesday. Almost all of
them will drift about, living under can
vas waiting for the strip to open. They
seem to feel as if everyone on the strip
is their enemy, and are said to be firing
the grass in hundreds of places. They
do not know when they are on the strip
or when they are on Indian reserva-
tions, and the reservations along the
Santa Fe have sffuered greatly. About
Ponca yesterday the grass was burning
on every side. and it was only after
hard fight that the houses little way
from the station were saved. To the
west the whole line of the horizon was
wall of smoke, looking like great
chain of mountains covered with snow
TO their base.
The grass is getting very dry and
burns readily and the fires are sure to
cover the larger part OF the strip and
render it useless for winter grazing.

William Had q Good Time.

When the Sunday evening train
came into the Long Island depot.
Brooklyn. from Cauarsie. there was
woman waiting for it. She had been
waiting nearly an hour, and as she
waited she explained to those about
her:
II came down to meet my husband,
William. The poor Iuan went down
to Canarsie to have good time to-
day."
The train finally rolled in. and pretty
soon two men came leading n third
between them into the station. He
had no hat or coat. both eyes were in
mourning. and his nose four times too
big. and he looked like a man who had
been playing with the fy-wheel of a
600horse power engine.
William. is it yOu?n asked the wife.
as she rushed forward.
Yes" he sighed. as he looked up.
Il came to meet you. You have
had a real good time, and 1 am Sc
glad! Let Us go home, darling."-M

Opposed to the Third Party Moyo.

PRINCETON, KY. September 23-
The alliance of Trigg county, becoming
alarmed at the political status that their
order is assuming in this district, have
just held meeting denouncing the peo-
ple's party movement and decrying any
attempt on the part of the order to en-
ter politics. The sub-treasury and
land loan scheme is opposed, as we'll as
any change in the present constitution
that would admit of a political party
being organized. This movement is
headed by old-line democrats who are
trying to stop the inroads upon their
party made through the third party
movement. The alliance is quite strong
in that country and succeeded in elect
ing delegate to the constitutional con-
vention last year, and is now in po-
sition to dictate terms to the democratic
party. Grave fears are entertained by
the leaders of the alliance in this dis
trio that this movement will be the
rock upon which the alliance will split.
The sub-treasuryites and third party re-
formers, however, are in the majority

Java for America.

LONDON, September 2S.-The Jewish
Colonization association, although
formed but a few days, has already
taken hold vigorously, and the project
of settling the poor Russian jews in the
United States is to be pursued as rapid
ly as possible. The association has
come to the conclusion to send nearly
all the Jewish exiles TO the United
States, and to secure their landing by
all lawful means. The Jews will be
settled as far as possible in agricultural
colonies, but it is not expected that
they will confne themselves TO the
country. Their right to 60 into any
lawful business will be vindicated, #
necessary, through legal proceedings.
It is claimed that the United States has
room enough for all the Jews that will
emigrate from Russia, and the oppOr-
tunities for profitable business are not
equaled in any country. The assocla-
tion will, therefore, for the present
wholly confine its attention to sending
Russian Jews to the United States and
supporting them there. A st. Peters
burg dispatch says the car seriously
thinks of sending the Jews in large
numbers to Seberia- They will not be
deported as convicts, but are to be pre-
sented with land and forbidden to re-
turn to Russia.

UNCLE SANS NEW NAVY.
The MIantonomah, Rebuilt for the SEQ.
ond Time, to Protect New York
Harbor.

New YORK, September 28.-New
York harbor will have its first armored
protector about October |. The moni-
tor Miantoromah lacks only the plac-
ing of two great guns in the fore turret
to be complete. She now lies at dock
in the Brooklyn navy yard.
The big, double-turretted monitor
was one of the fleet of ironclads built
toward the close of the civil war after
the model of the famous little Monitor.
At that time Uncle Sam had for the
second time in his history the most
powerful navy in the world, and the
Miantonomah was the most formidable
in it. Originally she was built Of oak.
Her armOr. which was of iron, was
bolted on over her hull. In 1872 she
was rebuilt in iron. together with the
Anphitrite, Terror and Monadnock, and
placed in commission for a second time.
in 1888 she was brought again to the
Brooklyn navy yard and has remained
there ever since, nearly all the time In
repair or alteration.
The Miantonomah is not completely
modelled even now. Her armor is not
of the nickle steel that will probably
encase the Maine and other big war
ships. But the mingled iron and steel
are amply sufficient for ship Of her
build, for see squats down in the water
so that she practically presents no tar
get except her slight superstructure,
and this can be shot away without Grip
ping her.
The Miantonomah is the first really
formidable ship Of the new navy. She
is battle ship in one sense OF the word,
for there is no ship of war ahoat in any
water which she could not meet with
some chance of victory. But she Is pri-
marily a harbor defense ship. Her
business is not to 60 out to meet an
enemy in other waters, but to lie in
wait for an approaching. foe. To
such a foe she would give welcome
worthy of her flag. for i'll every respect
except her armor she is powerfully

A Moving Mountain.

Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine
for September has an interesting ac-
count of moving mountain, which
exists at the cascades of the Columbia
1t is triple peaked mass Of brown
basalt, rising some 2000 feet above the
water, and facing the river for six or
eight miles. Impossible as it seems,
the mountain is moving slowly and
steadily down toward the river. The
forests at its base have become sub
merged, and large stumps may be seen
deep in the water. Railway engineers
find that the road that skirts the foot
of the mountain is being constantly
displaced. At some points the road
way has beeu pushed ten feet out Of
line in few years.

MADE TEN OUT OF ONE.
ExrmpIe of Expert Note Raising Received
at the Treasury Department from
Denver.

WASHINGTON. september 29.-Prob-
ably the most expert piece OF note-rais-
inc ever attempted has been received
at the treasury department from Den
yer, Col. 1t is in the form OF 81 silver
certificate with the Martha Washing
ton head. raised to $40 national bank
note. When the great difference in the
designs on the two notes Is taken into
consideration the work of the note
raiser is indeed remarkable and cannot
be detected without close scrutiny.
The vignette of Martha Washington on
the face Of the certificate has been so
reduced in shape that it is not visible
except on close inspection and over that
the picture of Benjamin Franklin has
been painted. All the heavy, dark
background of the vignette has been
erased and above the vignette has been
reproduced the counter, on which Is
written the word ten" On the right
hand side OF the face of the note the
treasury number has been transferred
into die bearing the figure ten.
The geometrical late work on the
right hand side of the face OF the note
has been transformed into the figure OF
woman resting on the back Of the
eagle soaring above the clouds. The
words lone silver dollar" on the geo.
metrical die in the center of the face
have been changed to ten dollars" on
the back of the note.
The large figure Il" on either end
has been removed by the skillfnl use OF
chemicals and ink. The note-raiser
has on the left hand produced and al.
most exact copy Of the coat of arms oi
one of the western states, and on the
right hand the eagle and flag enclosed
in an oval, which appears on this part
of every national bank note.

WHY BALMACEDA TOOK HIS LIFE.
The Argentine Minister Impressed Him
With the Danger of Mob Violence


SANTIAGO, Chilli, Sept 29.-The sem
sational suicide of ex-President Balma-
ceds in the Argentine legation here,
last Saturday morning, has so worked
up the masses that an emeute broke
out among the troops of the junta yes
terday. They had been excited BY .
too liberal indulgence in the potati0ns
that were given out during the last few
days in the celebration OF the national
independence holidays. The trouble,
however, did not assume alarming pro-
portions and was put down speedily.
One OF the causes which contributed
to the suicide OF the hunted dictator
was the fear expressed by Senior Urri-
buria, the Argentine minister, that
the people would attack the legation if
they discovered that Balmaceda was
sheltered there. This nervousness of
Senior Urriburis seems to have been i'm
pressed upon the ex-presidentis mind
in many Of the talks they had while
Balmaceda was hidden in the legation.
1t apparently formed subject of their
animated conversation last Friday
night, after the Argentine minister
had returned from the theater. With
this idea uppermost in his mind the un-
fortunate dictator retired for the night.
He must Lave carefully considered the
subject before arriving at the grim de-
termination TO put an end to his mis-
cry by self-destruction.
Except for the outbreak among the
troops. Santiago is in much quieter
mood than any time since the war
ended.

STATE NEWS.

Labette county, Kansas reduced the
mortgages on real estate during the
eighteen months ending July by S204,-
905. .S3, and the chattel mortgages dur
ing the same period by over $500, 600.
Since the first of January, 1890, the
county has paid more than 81, 900, 900 OF
Indebtedness on real and personal prop
erty. This Is only specimen fact of
what the people Of Kansas are doing to
earn the best OF credit at home and
ebroad.-Kansas City JoIBuLu
John L Waller. sent as consul to
Madagascar, writes that he arrived at
his post July oath. He was received
with great pomp by the governor in
the name OF Queen Ranavanola. After
the reception the governor sent a s.
year old beef, six chickens, two ducks
and goose for his dinner. Waller re-
fers to meeting Thomas I. Prentis, who
has been consul at Mavutins for twenty
years, and is cousin of Noble Prefltis.
He inquired about old John Brown, Jim
Lane, Mark Parrott, John Spear ard
ex-senator Pomeroy, the latter being
the only one he knew personally.
The Kansas City Star saws that Eu-
gene F. Ware has been figuring on the
nationality of Kansas population. He
says that Kansas is an exceedingly pure
blooded state. 1t is state with ped.
igree. 1t is composed of S4} per cent.
native born. white Americans; that is
to say, the American born Caucasian is
"a and 54-10Oths per cent OF the total
population, and in the balance q little
over Is per cent. are found 70 be col
ored, Chinese. Indians and foreign born
persons. This was by the figures OF
1880. Mr.. Ware thinks 1t Is safe to
presume that the Kansas population of
to-day Is go per cent. American born
white men.
