orders occurred. Four leaders of the
rioters have been executed and twenty
one banished. Five mandarins have
been adjudged- culpably remiss in not
aqoptlng measures to preserve order.
The Imperial Government has ordered
the Viceroys of Chipi and Manking to
dispatch the northern and southern
squadrons TO patrol the Yang Use Kiang,
and afford protection to the life and prop
erty OF Europeans wherever necessary.
Though rumors of further troubles still
excite uneasineSS in certain places, the
Government has no doubt of its ability
to cope effectively with all attempts at
breaches of the peace"
Nothing is known respecting the re-
ports cabled to Europe of an attempt to
seize the FoochOw arsenal, but undoubt-
ed evidence of the activity of secret So
cietieS has been obtained in other quar-
ters. Thirty-tive cases of foreign rifles
consigned to British subject employed
in the Imperial customs Office at Chin
klang have been seized at Shanghai by
customs officers, and the consignee ar
rested and turned over to the British au-
thoritieS. The same man had a quantity
of dynamite, which, with the rifles, he
confesses was intended for the use of a
secret society at Ching Kiang. The other
British subjects and six other foreigners,
nationality doubtful, are implicated in
the transaction, which the British of
ficials are investigating.
The cablegram concludes with a repeti-
ton OF the statement that the Imperial
Government has no doubt of it's entire
competency to preserve order.
WANT TO SHIRK THE INDEMNITY.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Times Paris
correspondent says it has become known
here that the Governor of the Chinese
provinces in which the riots occurred have
distinctly declined to be held response
ble therefor, and have declared it impos-
sihle to pay indemnity. The inference to be
drawn is that the Chinese circular to the
powers aims simply at delay in order
to shirk the indemnity, and therefore not
be held to account to Europe.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Fate of an Old-Timer In the Woods in
Fresno County.

Fresno County.
FRESNO, Sept. 25.-Word reached this
city last evening of the frightful death in
the mountains near Fresno Flats of J. r.
O'Neal. O'Neal was a shoemaker by
trade, and lived alone in secluded place.
For several weeks he had been missing,
and search resulted in the finding of his
dead body but short distance from the
cabin. A section of a large tree which
O'Neal had evidently sawed off had
rolled down on both his legs, pinning
him to the ground. Alone, and power
less to release himself, he must have en-
dured the pain caused by his crushed and
imprisoned limbs and finally died of
starvation and exhaustion.
The body was badly decomposed when
found and was laid to rest on the ranch
on which the terrible accident occurred.
The deceased was well known to old
timers in Mariposa County and generally
throughout the northern section of
Fresno County. He was typical mount
aineer, who would not have been con-
tent anywhere else, and who loved the
pure air and free life of the hills.

Your favor received. l cannot take
part in the Ohio campaign this year for
many reasons which I need not give, but
| hope no effort will be spared to elect
Mckinley. His victory at this time is
very important to the country and the
party. He and Mr.. Campbell represent
an honest difference between the two
parties at this time. There is no need of
dodging and no evasion and the voter
need not be deceived. The election of
Mckinley means a policy of protection
and honest money. The election of
Campbell means free trade and corrup-
ton of the currency. i believe Ohio win
stand by Mckinley. Very sincerely
