Bad for Missionaries,

New YORK, May l4,-Rev. DIR. j S.
Baldwin, for - years Methodist mis-
sionary in China and for nearly quar-
ter of a century secretary of the mis-
sionary board of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, which has large monied in
terests in China, said he had positive in
formation from dignitories of the Chi
nese government fr I'M his own Chinese
missionaries that il the Chinese sxclus-
ion act is carried into effect and Chinese
shipped from this country to China, de-
ported simply because they are here
without certificates, that Americans in
China will likewise be deported from
that country. "If the law be declared
constitutional by the supreme court"
be said, Il anticipate there will be an
exodus both of missionaries and merch
ants from China in retaliation for our
sending some Chinese from the United
States, Several years ago this was
urged upon the Chinese government by
one of the censors, who was supported
in his memorial by number Of promi-
nent officials.
Ii Hung Chang, at present yiceroy of
Chuh LIE and Shang Tung provinces,
the great statesman of China whom Gen
eral Grant so heartily admired. has been
very slow to come to such view of the
case and very unwilling to relinquish
his marked friendship for the United
States, but there is ground for believing
that this great statesman has at last
come to the conclusion that the only
way to defend the honor and dignity of
acts % oppressive legislation on our
part and in view OF diplomatic action to
produce any remedy, is to enter upon
course of retaliation and treat Ameri
cans in China as Chinese arestreated in
America. This is the most perilous
time in the relations of China to the
United States yet encountered 1t is
probable the Methodist church will make
an appeal IT, the Chinese authorities in
case deportation is decided upon in be-

Fell Half q Mile.

HoUGuToN, Mich, May l4.-'Ten men
were dashed to pieces in the Red Jacket
perpendicular shaft OF the Calumet and
Heckla mine At noon to-day. The min
ers were coming in a cage to dinner and
the engineer hostcd the cage against the
timbers OF the shalt. The coupling pin
broke and the men and cage dashed down
ward over 5000 feet to the bottom.
| The men were aboard skip used in
hosting rock, and when the load OF hui
man freight had reached the surface the
engineer did not stop in time, but went
to the top OF the derrick, when it broke
loose and went back with a crash to the
bottom of the shaft. There was no way
Of reaching the bottom for getting the
dead men out except by going through
another shaft half mile away, so it was
nearly three hours before the true state
of affairs could be ascertained, and it
will be toward morning before the bodies
can be brought to the surface. 1t was
necessary to hoist them 500 feet by ropes
to reach the level OF the next shaft, then
carried nearly half mile through drifts,
and then hoisted by a man car. Twelve
went down this morning, but one was
attacked by sickness and sent up, ac-
companied by Il comrade.
A coroner's jury is making Il thorough
investigation,
1t will be another day before Mine In
spector Hall and the coroner's jury can
gather the evidence required to fix the
responsibility for the engines failure to
stop, an investigation that the miners
demand shall be thorough. General
Manager Whiting and Superintendent
Duncan are almost Frustrated by the
awful responsibility which is thus thrust
upon them. Did the indicator fail to
work and fail to inform the engineer
when the carriage reached the surface,
as he saws, or did he become careless and |
fail to stop the engine at the right mo-
ment? These are the questions that are |
being asked and which the investigation |
is expected to determine.

II investigation proves these claims
to be correct and it is found that all the
pomp and panoply of war has been in
voked TO prevent citizens from working
upon their own property the secretary
OF war will experience some difficulty in
extrlcating himself from most ridicu
lous position.
Since their arrival the troops have not
interfered with the Indians and work
has gone 90 as it did before they APP
peared. The outcome Of the AFFAIR will
be awaited with much interest not only
on the reserve, bat throughout the state.

Rough on Chinese.

SAN Francisco, May 15.-News that
the United States supreme court had con-
firmed the constitutionality of the Chi
nese exclusion act was received with
great interest. The Chinese stood about
in large groups before their own bulletin
boards for some statement from the Six
Companies, which compelled them to re-
fuse to register. They We're not inclined
to accept the report through American
newspapers. During the first hour there
was no outward excitement among them,
but it was evident the news was distaste-
full and unexpected. Chinese Vice Coun-
sci Chong Owang was seen by n repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press, to
whom he said: "You are the first to
bring me this news. have nothing to
say in regard to the immediate effect the
final decision OF the supreme court will
have on the Chinese in America. 1t will
be great blow to business in Chinatown.
As to what the Chinese government may
do in the matter have still less to say.
The treaty between China and America
has been withdrawn by the government
at Washington and is no longer Il con-
tract and will not be regarded by the
Chinese government as a factor govern
ing any action they may see tit to take. y
During the noon hour crowds OF whites
were attracted to the vicinity OF the
stock exchange by the appearance OF d.
r. O'Donneu and Denis Kearney, local
anti-Chinese agitators, who urged their
hearers to hold mass meetings approx
ing the decision. The crowd listened to
the speakers but displayed little interest
in what they had to say. News from the
interior points where Chinese colonies
exist, as at SACRAMENTO, Fresno, Los An
geles and san Diego, showed the Chinese
were taking keen interest in the next
move which might he made, but the de-
cision was otherwise quietly received.
Collector OF Internal Revenue Quinn
said the decision did not surprise him.
He will take no action, however, until
further advices from the treasury depart
ment, as he was notified some time ago
not to make any arrests until ordered.
He thinks by their systematic course OF
opposition to the law, the Chinese Six
Companies have brought about their own
destruction. In case the deportation OF
Chinese is ordered the collector says he
will begin ON the criminal and worthless
classes first. He has Il list and descrip-
ton Of nearly 1000 such in this city
alone and could get at them At once
Then he would begin ON the laborers.
District Attorney Carter and Collector
Of Port Phelps said nothing could be done
until iurthar orders from Washington
but expressed the opinion that deporta'
ton would be no easy task.
4 number OF prominent Chinese mer
chants were seen this evening and eX
pressed great regret at the decision OF th'
court, saying i meant terrible draw
I back for their business interests. Chons

loss to Chinese merchants OF $50,0OO,0O(

The Puyallup "Nar."

The threatened outbreak or inbreak,
whichever it may be called. on the Puy-
allup reservation, is not without its COM
ical side, it being the first time in the
history of the country that United States
troops have been called upon to prevent
citizens from improving in the way that
best pleases them lands to which they
bold patent,
Convinced that a railroad acros the
reservation would greatly enhance the
value of their lands the Indians have
been for some weeks past engaged in
clearing and grading a roadbed-each
Indian working upon his own farm.
Considering that they lad a right to
make what improvements thew pleased
upon their own property they paid nc
attention to Agent Eells' command &c
cease the work and the agent at once
Invoked the aid of the secretary Of wal
to protect these misguided children o.
the forest from their own wishes witt
the result that a company OF the regular
army is now on the ground to prevent
the work, by force if necessary.
The Indians, who are by no meant
asleep in the matter, claim that as they
hold the land in severalty, and it hal
been allotted and patented to them in
dividually by the government, they ar
the only owners OF it, In addition Il
beng land owners they are citizens a

of Washington. Therefore, since the,

fere with them in the cultivation or iu
provements which any other citizen {
the United States might wish to max

They look, he said. for modification OF
the law.
Dispatches from Portland, Or, and
many points in this state say the Chinese
as rule received the news quietly and
declined to talk till they had advices
from the Six Companies. A prominent
Chinaman at Sacramento expressed the
opinion that the Six Companies had done
wrong in advising the Cinnamon not to
register White people throughout the
state generally received the news with
approval, the exceptions being some east
ernrrs and few clergymen.

SMALLPOX IN VIRGINIA.
The Excitement Over the Disease Con
tinues.

| Passengers who arrived here Friday
last from Roanoke brought some
| news to the effect that the smallpox
scare is still raging in Southwest Vir.
ginia.
While there is not now thought to be
great danger of an invasion by this
great disease, the matter is being
watched with considerable interest by
the people of Roanoke.
Nearly all the physicians in that
city lave secured a supply of virus
and they have been busy for the last
few days yaccinating people. Nearly
every physician in town has already
Vacclnated quite number of people,
some of them from 10 to 100.
The Evening World, of Novemb
2ith. says that the secretary of the
State board OF health called Thursday
on the superintendent of public in
structlOn and requested that every
school superintendent in the State be
instructed to have every child in the
of the provisions of the school laws,
but, 1t IS said, is not always enforced
in the country.
Mayor Trout, of Roanoke, has made
arrangements to receive a bulletin
from the smallpox infected districts
in Southwest Virginia every morning
and the authorities of the city will
thus be kept posted as to the exact
situation.
The mayor says tnat whatever
steps were necessary would be taken
to protect the city from an invasion
bv the disease. By keeping Informed
daily from reliable sources as to the
exact progress of the disease the city
authorities, he thinks, will know best
what to do.
The reports received Yesterday
show that there has been no spread
in the disease. Some of the parties
in quarantine have been attacked. and
all of whom have been exposed are
thus detained. There is nothing to
indicate that the disease will spread
beyond the limits to which it is con-
fined.
1t is feared that if the disease
reaches Roanoke it will not only be
spread over that city but will be
brought to Salem, as the
Twin-City is on the direct line.

n BRILLIANT TELLER.
HIS Carelessness Secured His AcquittaI
of EmbeZZiement

ROANOKE, Va, Nov. 25.-H. f. Low
ing, former paying teller of the First
National Bank of this cicy, who was
indicted October 23d for embezzling
s., 500 from the funds of the bank, was
tried in the Hastings Court yesterday
and acquitted. The jury returned
verdict of not guilty after fifteen min
uteS deliberation. The prosecution
failed to prove that Loving actually
took the money or that there had been
real embeZzlcment. The evidence
was to the effect that Loving while
teller at the bank, was careless and
negligent and often in cashing checks
would over-pay large sums, sometimes
paying out aS much as ST 900 in excess
of the face Of the check presented 1t
was shown to be likely that Loving
made this mistake and when he found
the shortage in his accounts, falsified
the figures. hoping to hide the matter
temporarily until the shortage could
be made good. The verdict, which
was in accordance with the inStruc-
tons and the evidence. was received
with applause by the audience in the
court room.

SIXTY~EIGHT YEARS OLD
A Calico Dress Which has an Interest,"
ing History.

Mr., Jack Pigg who lives just across
the Mecklenburg Union county line,
in Union, the Charlotte News says,
has in his possession a pink calico
dress that is siXty-eight years old.
The history of the dress is hard to be
believed when it is Gold, but is youch-
ed for by Mr.. Pigg himself.
When Mr.. Pigg was baby he wore
the pink dress. 1t was worn by all of
his mothers kids younger than he was
and then lald away. Finally Mr.. Pigg
had children of his own and this same
dress which he had worn in infancy
was brought out and put on the ba-
bies, one after another, until it had
served as infant dress for the mem
bcrs of his entire family of children,
consisting Of six.
Later in life Mr.. Pigg became a
grandfath and this same pink cal
ico dress was put upon the kids to
make them comfortable. 1t served
one after another of the grand-chil-
dren as ''their turn came" until
eat-grand-children put in an appear
ance, and on four such occasions the
dress has done duty.
The dress has now returned to its
first owners home, and Mr.. Pigg has
it locked up in his chest. He eXhib-
its it as man would show something
handed down from one generation to
another and regarded as treasure.

Do You Want to be Sheriff?

The Progressive Farmer says: 1T
is said that but few county sheriffs in
North Carolina ever come out of the
office as well off as they We're when
they went in. Just why this is we
don't know OF late years the record
has been getting worse. In the past
few weeks two or three sheTitfS have
assigned or were sued on their bonds
for taxes they had failed to collect.
The eX-sheritf of Forsyth county is
behind about SO, 900, and he and his
bonlSmen have been sued for that
amount. No dishonesty is alleged.
The sheriff simply failed to collect
that amount of tax out of the people
OF the county. He says he couldn't
get the money without selling the
property Oh taxpayers, and money has
been SO close tnat he couldn't get the
amount even if he put the property
up for sale

SEPARATED DURING THE WAR
Two Brother Hear From One Another
After 30 Years.

Mr. Albert Forester received a let
ter last week from War Eagle Mills,
Arkansas, which proved to be from
his Oldest brother, Mr.. John Forester,
whom he had supposed for many years
was dead, says the Wilkesboro Chroni
Gle. Mr.. Forester lived in Wilkes
county before the war, and was well
known. The late civil war, which is
accountable for so many rents and
breaks in families, separated him
from his brother and relatives. In
1863 when the war was raging Albert
and John, the two brothers, parted at
Newton, being in different companies
of the Confederate army, and never
saw nor heard OF each other again till
last week-3O years. John drifted to
Arkansas where he settled and mar
ried. He has splendid farm there
and is doing we'll. He has nine chill
dren. 1t must be great pleasure for
these brothers after 30 years to find
each other again, and know that each
is living and doing well.
