ago he said that the question of social
equality did not disturb him. Il have
never desired" said he, ''to associate
with any man, white or black, unless
my company is acceptable. However,
if white man is well educated, clever
and respectable [ would just as soon
be caught in his company as in the com
pany Of a negro" While speaking on
miscegenation another time his eye
glasses bothered him by sliding from
his nose. Il wish" he broke out, 1--WE

REDDING, Aug. 1.-Frank Miller,
pioneer merchant of this city, was killed
in his store this morning about S o'clock
by his insane wife.
The store is double one, with two
front entrances. Ono door was locked.
Miller was inside the darkened room with
his wife From tie position of the body
Miller was evidently STOPPING down be-
hind the counter to get some plaster OF
paris out of box, with his back toward
his wife, when she hit him across the left
side Of the head with sharp hatchet.
After he fell she leaned over the coun-
ter and hit him several times on the right
side of the head above anG behind the
ear, severing portion of the'ea The
murdered man was discovered lying
doubled up on his face in his own blood.
His wife admits the deed. She says she
hit him, but did not intend to Kill She was
seen to walk rapidly from the store early
this morning. The body was discovered
by three mon, who thought that some
thing had happened Miller, as the store
had not been opened as usual. He had
not lived with his wife for several years.
She has been crazy for a long time, but
could not be sent to the asylum because
she was too shrewd for the doctors. She
has assaulted her husband several times
before. Miller was Treasurer of the
Masonic Lodge, and was recognized as
man Of strict prObitY.

to raise agricultural products bounty
will be of no benefit unless the amount
is excessive. Let us see." continued the
Secretary. turning to his last annual re-
port. what the total OF our foreign ship
ments for the fiscal year 1894 were."
The figures showed the total shipments
abroad during that period 30 be worth
$S69, ,204. 937. OF this amount S62S, 363, ,O3o
represented farm products alone. That
is to say, the shipment OF American farm
products abroad is equal to 73 per cent. OF
our entire foreign expectations. III other
words. if Mr.. Lubin's proposition be
adopted it would follow that the Ameri-
cans who sent the other y per cent. of
their products abroad would be called
upon TO contribute very largely from
their earnings to the profits of those who
sent 70 per cent. The plan is unfair on
its face. and there is no probability that
it will ever be adopted, no matter how
much these gentlemen resolve.
"M oreovef." said Secretary Morton.
IAN export bounty would be unconstitu-
tional. Section 8. paragraph ., OF the
Constitution, specifically provides that
no taxes or duty shall be laid on articles
exported from any State [ should think
that would dispose OF the matter aside
from any other consideration"

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
Importance of the opinion Announced
by Solicitor-General Reeve.

Importance OF the Opinion Announced
by Solicitor-General Reeve.
WASHINToN, Aug. 1.-The opinion re-
Gently announced by Solicitor-General
Reeve of the Treasury Department upon
the scope of the Chinese Exclusion Act
is of more importance and has wider
reach than at first indicated. lie decides
that the provisions of the law prohibiting
the re-entry into the United States Of
Chinese who have once gone out are re-
stricted in their operations to labOrers
alone. Every other sclass OF Chinese,
either merchants in the strict sense of the
terms or otherwise who comply with the
requirements of the law regarding regi s.
tration certificates, are entitled To come
again into this country.
The Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department are agreed in the
Interpretation of the law, and the Col
lector OF the Port of san Francisco has
been so advised. This opinion is based
upon the application for re-entry made
by Lew \ ee soon, a restaurant keeper of
Los Angeles. who arrived in San Fran
cisco June lst upon his return from
China. The Collector refused him ad-
mission on the ground that he was not
a merchant within the meaning OF the
law. This action is reversed by the
opinion, and Lew zee Soon will be ad
mitted.

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 1.-Six orga-
nized bands of robbers, armed with
Remington rifles, have for a long time
harassed the District of Eriwanin, Trans
Caucausia. These bands recently united
under the command Of a notorious leader,
ABDUL Heyder Khan, and attacked and
burned mum Der of isolated farmhouses.
Finally, becoming boIder. the robbers
attacked in broad daylight several vii
lagos. which they captured and burned.
All the men in the villages and all male
occupants of the farmhou who were
unable 10 escape were put to death, while
the women and children were carried off
by the bandits.
The police were unable to stop these
outrages, and force of 200 Cossacks was
sent to punish the robbers. On the night
of July 18th the Cossacks encountered the
robbers at Nachitischewan. After a
sharp fight the bandits who are now
armed with modern magazine rifles, re-
pulsed the Cossacks.
Reintorcements to the number of 500
have been sent to assist the defeated Co.'S
sacks, and the troops are now Dilleted
throughout the harassed districts.

BEATEN AND ROBBED.
EDWARD FALKNER ASSAULTED
WHILE ASLEEP.
Received Injuries Which VIII Proba-
ably Result in Death and What
Little Money He Had Stolen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-The police
have another mystery case to work on.
1t has not assumed the magnitude of
murder yet, but Edward Falkner is dy
ing at the Receiving Hospital from a
fractured skull, and the police are scour-
ing the town to find his assailants.
1t happened at the freight yards at
Fourth and kentucky streets. The first
the police knew of the crime was "a
telephone call to the Southern Station.
Policemen Driscoll, Mcguire and Ross
responded. They found Falkner. a de-
cent appearing man OF about "a years of
age, in half unconscious condition.
Somebody had dealt him several terrific
blows on the back of the head with
blunt instrument. Blood had poured
from the wounds. The hair was matted
with blood aud the mans condition was
shocking.
The robber Or robbers succeeded in es-
Gaping, and the police have not as yet
any cew. Their victim was left for dead,
lying on a platform beside one Of The
tracks. He was discovered at o'clock
in an UNCONSCIOUS condition. There was
an ugly wound upon his head, evidently
inflicted with some blunt Instrument,
and he was lying in pool OF blood.
A telephone message summoned the
ambulance, and the wounded man was
taken to the City Receiving Hospital. Ho
was unconscious when he was placed
upon the operating table. but regained
the use Of bis faculties sufficiently TO tell
u story which at once set the police to
work upon The robbery and attempted
murder theory. He said his name was
Edward Falkner. He is railroad yard
man. and recently arrived from his na-
tive State. Tennessee He has been look
ing for work for some time, and only
yesterday the foreman at the yards
promised him job, directing him to re-
port for duty this morning.
Il went down this morning to go to
work." he said, but when | arrived the
fireman was not there. and l lay down
and must have gone TO sleep. for l don't
remember anything until I was lifted into
the am oulance. Footpads must have
found me sleeping there and struck me
ON the head with sandbag. | had 60
cents and a knife in my pockets when l
lay down. but they were takeu."
DR.. We'll, the new Police Surgeon. and
Dr. Thompson, his assistant, SCI TO work
on the case. They found severe frac-
ture at the base of the skull, aud ex-
pressed little hope for recovery from such
an injury.

AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR.
No Truth in Story Published Con-
corning tho Central Pacific.

No Truth in q Story Published Con-
corning the Central Pacific.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-At the offices of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company
here it is positively denied rnat the COM
pany had avoided receivership by max
ing arrangements with bondholders.
When shown dispatch stating that a
San Francisco paper had made this as
sertion, l.. + Bates said:
There is absolutely no truth in this
statement. When the series of bonds
amounting to nearly $4,000, 900 became
due on July 10th, the bondholders were
given the privilege of extending them for
TWO and a half years at per cent. per
annum, and the holders readily accepted.
"There has been no dividend declared
by the company, but the Southern Pa
cltic, as has been extensively advertised
since July LIST mas been paying one-half
Of l per cent, of the par value to the
stockholders of the Central Paci tic Com
pany. These are the facts, and it can
easily be seen no deal was made. The
statement to the contrary is without
foundation"
