MASSACRE IN ASSAM.
Ammunition Gave out and the Camp Sur
rendered.

CALCUTTA, Marc!; 30.-A dispatch
from Manipur, in the province OF Assam,
brings news Of a disaster to a force OF
native troops there. The news was
brought TO Kahinaan. on the Assum
frontier BIZ two Jookhas-native soldiers
in the British service-who arrived thsre
yesterday. The massacre originated n
feud between the Raiah Of Manipur
and the lea ling tribal chief. The Rajah
was deposed and he was appoint to the
V;ceroY. British Commissioner Quin-
ton was sent to settle the tro uble and
started from the headQuarter at Phlllo-
ny, escorted BY the Forty-second and
Forty-fourth Goorkha Light Infantry.
After crossing the front, Qulnton sum-
moned the chief to Durbar, at Manlpur,
for the purpose of arresting Rlbel Sioux.
The chief Of the tribemen, pretending to
obey the summons. moved IN force and
at midnight before the day On which
Durbar was to be held suddenl Y attacked
and attempted TO surprise the camp, but
failed and the tribemen were driven back.
They returned, however, and kept up
the attack day and night for forty~eishl
hours. Finally the ammunition of the
Goorkha gave out and Commissioner
Quinton was obliged to give the order,
Save who can."
During the fight scouts were sent to
trv TO communicate with Shillong, but
they never returned. The Manipur ma
tlves cut the telegraph wires and killed
the messengers. The fugitives report
that general massacre followed the
lootiny of the camp. There is reason for
believing that the estimate that 470 were
killed IS incorrect. Quintou and his
staff were made prisoners. Another
account says that Colonel Skeno, a COM
mapder. Commissioner Quinton, with
his son and daughter, Captain Balleau
and six officers were killed, the natives
refusing to give them quarter. The
rebellious tribe IS famous for cunning
cruelty and bravery. Immediately upon
receiving the news of the disaster the
Vice.oy at once summoned the Council,
Two natiye regiments stationed IN AS

Abducted his Wife.

LONDON, March 31.--A committee,
headed by Bishop Roberts, is circulating
an appeal for funds in order to carry the
Clitheroe case to the House of Lords.
The committees appeal asserts that it
is in the interest of religion and moral.
ity that this final appeal should be made.
The Clitheroe case consisted in the ab-
duction, by her own husband, of Mrs.
Jackson, wealthy lady, whose relata-
tives had persuaded her not to live with
her husband. The Court of Appeals re.
Gently decided that the husband could
not compel his wife to live with him,
and ordered her to be allowed to choose
her own residence. The contention OF
counsel for the husband was tnat, there
fore, he was justified in abductlng her
and compelling her to live with him.

the buildings will be placed. The build
inc will consist of large three-story
school building. On these grounds they
propose erecting suitable buildings to be

New YORK, March PA special to
the World from Butte, Mont, says a
movement has been begun by the leaders
of the Republican party in Washington
to throw Montana into the Republican
column in 1892, insure the election OF
Saunders to the Senate, steal three eiec,
toral votes from the Democracy and
contest the seat Of Representative elect
Dixon. The object Of the Republicans
is to disfranchise 1000 naturallZed cltl-
Zens, all, or nearly all, OF WHOM are
Democrats, because ola technlcal error
in the process Of naturalization. IhlS
error was the swearing OF the men ID the
open air instead Of in the office OF the
| CITY Clerk. The case Of Mrs. Langtry
will be taken as precedent, her natlr'
alization having been declared irregular
and void by the United States because
the oath was administered at her room
in a hotel instead OF in the clerk S office:
it is the intention of the projectors OF
the scheme to keep the case pending un-
til after the next Presidential election,
so that in the meantime the 1850 men
will be kept from voting.
