VESSELS IN DISTRESS.
How French Brig Proved Valuable to
Some Cape Breton Folks.

NORTH SYDNEY, G. B., May s.-The
American fishing schooner Stranger, of
Gloucester, arrived here in tow today.
She went ashore on Brander's rocks, off
Cape Ray, Newfoundland, where she re-
manned 15 hours when she worked her.
self off and was taken in tow by the
steamer Havana. The schooner Eddie,
reported missing, has arrived here. The
vessel and cargo are in good condition.
The French brig Rose, st. Pierre for
Sydney, arrived in port today with a
prize crew in charge. She was driven
ashore off Neil's Harbor, G. B., and the

prize crew got her off with favorable
winds and tide. She received no dam
age.

CHINESE sULLEN.
The Ignorant Among Them Expect War
Some Remarkable Resolutions.

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.-Collector of
Internal Revenue John G. Quinn, in an
interview in regard to the Chinese regis
tration law, says:
"The Chinese are acting very sullenly
about this law. They have refused to
register, and seem to think no actual
steps can be taken to remove them. In
fact, they laugh at the idea of the law
going into effect. They seem to think
that the Chinese government will never
permit its people to be removed from the
United States.
''The Chinese have stated to me that
if the United States insists upon their
departure fleet of Chinese battle ships
may be expected at the Golden Gate at
any moment. This indicates that among
the lower class Of coolies there exists
determination to resist the law, and that
the expect their government to 90 to
war if necessary to keep them in this
country. If violence is not opposed to
the officers when they are called upon to
perform their duty, if the law is declared
constitutional, Il shall be much sur.
prised.'
Inquiry in Chinatown shows that the
fears of Collector Quinn are well
grounded. There exists among the
Chinese most sullen disposition, which
has been inhamed by circulars issued by
the Six Companies. Every circular is
sued has contained advice to the Chinese
to resist the law a.,
At the Office of the Six Companies it
was stated that this simply ment that the
Chinese were not to become panic stricken
and register on tina last day allowed by
law, and that they were all to contribute
their quota to the fund for employing
lawyers to fight the law. There can be
no doubt, however, that the Chinese
placed different construction upon the
circulars.
A mass meeting of the Peoples Party
and anti Chinese voters of Portland, Ore, :,
was held in Albina Knights of Labor Hall
Friday night at which the following reso-
lutions were unanimously passed:
Resolved That the Peoples Party. in SON.
vention assembled, tender our admiration and
respect to Gov. Pennoyer for his very apt re-
buke to the Gresham-C Cleveland Chinese combi-
nation.
Resolved, That workmen as a class are
merciful and lenient toward the unfortunate
and unskilled, even in craftsmanship. and we
therefore tender our condOlence.to Gresham
Cleveland, and the Six Chinese Companies.

When the Closure Put Temporary
Stop to Their Speeches-Irish Members
Retorted With "Remember 1Ss7''-The
ance Concerning Bismarck Attributed
to Caprivi.
BERLIN, May Sin the midst of all
the confusion caused by the dissolution
of the Reichstag and Caprivi's resigna-
tion, passage from the Chancellor's
speech of Friday, which has just been
published in the stenographic report, is
attracting wide attention. Caprivi said:
Germany must get used to it, she can
not have always man like Bismarck at
the head of affairs-a man such as is
born only once in centuries and W hose
diplomatic art nobody will attempt to de-
n.y."
Reports from Friedrichsruhe say that
Prince Bismarck has fully recovered,
and is again seen daily promenading
about the estate, and even riding his fav-
orite large bay horse. Doctor Schwen-
ninger has advised him strongly to
move about as much as possible, as the
trouble with his leg would increase if he
did not keep in motion, The inflamma-
ton of the eyes, from which he has been
suffering for some time, has also disap-
peared, but to his great regret he has
been forbidden to indulge in newspaper
reading The Prince has always been in
the habit of reading the marked articles
in the newspapers himself, and also dis
pensed with the services of a reader as
far as the light French literature which
he enjoys SO much is concerned.
There can be no doubt that America
will be largely called upon to provide
Europe with breadstuffs, more largely
than in the last two years. The Prus-
sian Agriculture Department has gath
cred statistics to show that in no part of
the German Empire will the crops yield
more than a small average. Reports
from Austria and from Hungary say that
the spring crop has been terribly dam
aged by the weather, and the exports
from Russia will be very small, if there
are any. Breadstuffs are unprecedentedly
high at present, and it must be admitted
that this is not due to the action of the
Bourse alone. There is indeed a very
formidable reason for the price rising,
and the government views the situation
with much anxiety. Indian corn, which
has been excessively well advertised by
the agent of the Washington govern
ment, Col. Murphy, during the last, two
years, ought to have better chance now
than ever before.

YUMA. Ariz., May S.-An investigation

of prison property. McInerney was ar

ton OF the grand jury.
