BurgE. April A.-The CoKsy army got
away st two o'olook this morning. stealing
an engine out Of the Northern Pacific round
house. providing il with a crew. stsaming
up. aud attaching u TO a boz car filed with
provisions and six coal cars crowded with
men. About 250 or 300 men boarded this
train and about Fifty we're left behind, they
staying mp town after the mass meeting
and when they reached the camp they found
their comrades gone. These men bsRhn
forming a new army to-day. which is abont
100 strong.
Al six o'clock this evening d train Of
1 United States deputy mafshals left Butte
in stern chase in pu'suit Of the army.
Eighty men were crowded In two oabooses,
but fifteen deserted as the train was NOV
ing cut At the same time Gov. Richards
aud United States Mhrshal MoDsrmott left
b. special on the Montana Union for Hell
ena. The report is here that they will get
two companies Of militia Ia Helena and 90
on. joining the deputies at Bozeman, where
another company of militia will be taken
on board.
The tunnel this side of Livingston is
chase. Ths CoKsy army was delayed by a
cave there several hours, and overlook the
passenger train there. The army got
shovels and cleared away the track. passing
through the tunnel about Elk o'clock this
evening and running great risk IN doing So
Immediately after they passed through
there was another cave In the tunnel. so
that the passenger train was stopped there
and tho pursuing train is likely TO be
stopped unless this damage is quickly re-
paired. The Coxev train went into the
Livingston yard where the men provided
thamae yes with tools 10 repair the
track IN case they fnd 10 torn
up a. any place. They also waited in the
yards at Livingston TO steam up another
engine.
Il 10 understood TO be the intention Of
the authorities 20 arrest the army and bring
them 20 this city for trial at a special term
Of the United States court Of the Southern
district of Montana for the stealing the
train. Probably the trisl will be sonnued

disrs at Fort Keogh will be called on TO
intsroeIt the army in case the deputies do
not catch them.

The Coxey army intended TO t'y to steal

Arbitrations
While ths men we're In session all kinds
of rumors we're ahoat. Some of the Mon
tana members of the committee are in
structsd against com mpromise In any form;
others incline that way in their opinion,
and there is difficulty In reaching de-
cision. One Of the officers of the union
said that his private opinion was that the
committss would decline to aTbitrate. and
that the strike was as far from bring set
tied az il ever was.
Vice President Howard. OF the A. II. u,
was selected as chairman OF the com mittee.
and Presidsnt Dsbs was on the floor great
deal of the time. Both he and Howard are
open advocates Of arbitration. They have
both declared themselves TO the COMMITTEES,
and advised settlement. II is said that
thres-foutths OF the members are instructed

tion. The peace element. however. is max
ing a strong fight for q conservative posi-
tion. One st. Paul delegate anid he was

could not vote otherwise unless . meeting

profits Of trade or banking are viewed askance as soon as they seem to exceed tho fair wages of n carrier, apparently because of a feeling that n man who lives by profits only is kind Of usurer. The concurrent outcome of the authori- tative opinions expressed by the great classical writers of China Is that the great wealth and costly lnxuries intro- duced by trade are evils and the source of evil. Contemporary and subsequent scholars have contended that the luxury brought about by commerce under the Han dynasty from B. C. 200 to A. D. 200 would have ruined the empire If 1t had not been summarily arrested with the for eign trade that gave 1t birth. It Is ad- mitted that the tendency of mankind in this direction cannot be eradicated, but the experience of China has shown that 1t can be kept in check. Liaoutchi was but one of Il long series of sages who have maintained that the govern ment should visit with penalties and disgrace everything that tends to di- minish the production of useful com modities; as, for instance, allowing pleasure gardens to occupy fertile ground, the planting of curious and un- profitable trees, the gathering of the buds of the tea tree, and any employ ment of labor which withdraws the peasant from the cultivation of the ground and artisans from industries use- full to the public. A certain minister called So-ling once lent twenty thousand ounces of silver from the treasury to twelve little merchants, and when asked why he did so, said: "In order that the public may not have to pay for the banquets, the entertainments, the varnishes, the concubines, and slaves of him who has monopolized the trade in silks" The rivalry between a number of less wealthy dealers would, he said, oblige them to compete in industry and skill, and not to ruin the public with high prices.
 It is astonishing that people who are yellow in color, whose eyes slant, who wear pigtails and who wear their shirts outside their trousers could have got hold of such notions as these. They actually seem to believe that it is not all of life to make money. They must be gods or lunatics. No sensible human beings would have such ideas.

THE ELECTRIC ROADS.

It Is probable that fin spite of the elo- quent pleas which have been and will be made for the preservation of the beauty and the loneliness of the coun- try roads of Connecticut and the safety of the children of the farmers, most of the towns of this State will soon be elec- trically connected. Many of them al- ready are. A similar state of things ex- ists In several other States, and in fifty years from now it may be possible to take n bag of five cent pieces and go from New Haven to San Francisco on the electric roads. It will be possible to go from New York to Philadelphia on electric roads very soon unless the plan that has been made fails. A trolley line is to be constructed to carry passengers and light freight between those two cities, charter having been obtained from New Jersey for the purpose and right of way for the entire distance secured. The New York and Phila- delphia Traction company has capital stock of 1000, 900, and will begin con- struction immediately at Trenton, and work both ways toward the termini. There will be one hundred and fifty miles i'll the main and branch lines, the system having been planned to cover 8 very large number of towns. Seventy miles of local lines in different cities are to be merged into the system. The men interested in the enterprise own a valuable water right just below the falls in the Delaware, and contemplate using it in the production of the power needed to operate large portion of the line.

SOME CHINESE NOTIONS,

China is very old country and has had time to learn great deal. It is, therefore, barely possible, we suppose, that she has learned some things the of which hasn't fully spread through this great, glorious and high 0ockalorum nation. MT. B. J. Simcox in his book on China, which is the sub- ject of one of MT. HazIeton's remarka- ble reviews, shows us how the Chinese have dealt with some problems which are vexing thoughtful souls in this country. It appears that in China the owners of wealth are looked upon by the government as the dangerous class. Both laws and custom are unfavorable to accumulation, so that large fortunes do not remain long in the same family. Actresses are unknown, and conse- quently fortunes cannot be increased by marriage. The Chinese millionaire is as likely as not to leave thirty grand sons equally entitled to share in his in- heritanoe, and therefore the members of the next generation can at most suc- ceed to g modest competence. Of the four recognized classes, namely, the literati, the cultivators, the artisans, and the traders, the latter is, on the whole, considered to stand lowest. The

agricultural prices has been severely felt by n country largely dependent on it's agricultural exports, and suffering just now from an exceptionally bad season, and thus doubly crippled in the price of it's produce and in its amount. The political difficulties, which are of constant recurrence in Argentina, and from which lhere Is no immediate pros pect of escape, do not improve the out look. Worst of all, the correspondent says. there seems no likelihood that the people of Argentina will be induced to look facts steadily in the face. He hopes that some day they will realize the position in which they are placed, but can detect no present signs that they will
