EASTER LILIES.
Over s3. 900. 900 of These Flowers Im-
 ported Annually from Bermuda.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Another foreign industry seems likely to be nipped in the bud as a result of home enterprise. According to a dispatch from Los Angeles, a syndi- cate of flower growers has made an experimental shipment of two car loads of Easter lilies to the East, with the intention of going into the raising of the flower on an extensive scale if the experiment. proves sue cess. Hitherto the horticulturists of Bermuda have enjoyed a practical monopoly of this business. Last year the imports of bulbs from this Island reached fully $3,O00,000 rep resenting fully 16, ,0OO,000 flowers, in addition to large importat!ons of loose flowers in bulk timed to reach this city a day or two before Easter. This year the importations have hardly been as heavy owing toap par tial failure of the Bermuda crop, but the deficiency will easily be made up by the California shipments. Should the flowers from the Golden Gate prove equal in appearance and keep ing qualities to those imported, it is only a question of a year or two, in the opinion of florists, before the Bermuda growers will find their oe- cupation gone.

FIFTY DOLLARS AND COSTS.
Is the Fine Assessed Against the Pseudo
 Priest for Disturbing the Peace.

The Circuit Courtroom was filled with spectators this morning when the case of the State of Arkansas vs. J. N. Hicks, was called for trial.
 It will be remembered that the Grand Jury found three true bills against Hicks; one for slander, one for disturbing the peace, and one for using profane language. A de- murrer was filed to the slander case and it was sustained by the court. This left only the two misdemeanor cases against Hicks, and he felt sure of only light punishment, for when he entered the courtroom his face wore a broad smile and confident ex- pression.
 After considerable discussion be- tween Prosecuting Attorney Martin for the State and MT. Walter Sorrels for the defense, the two attorneys repaired to a side room for consulta- tion, and when they again entered the courtroom Mr. Sorrells entered plea of guilty for his client to the charge of disturbing the peace, and the other against him was nolle pressed by the Prosecuting Attor- ney.
 Judge Elliott made the fine for the offense $50 and costs, which, in the aggregate will be about $l20.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga special
to the Herald from Paris says
At a meeting held at Neuilly,
Levallois, the event OF the day was
the international contest over a
distance of 1900 meters for har-
messed trotters. Fourteen were en-
tered and there were three French
abssntees.
Although somewhat heavily
handicapped, the main trio Autri-
an, Eriburn and Grace Simmons
showes what training can do. Lit
tie by little they crept up pressing
the Russian Roussalka and Vol
shebnitsa and then going for the
leaders. The finish was one OF
the most exciting ever witnessed
on track, as Phillips, knowing
what Autrian is worth, kept her
quietly in hand until the final
round when he over hauled the
Ambour and going right away,
won as she pleased. The times
were: Autraiu 6 AZ l.5; Tambour
6:A; Helen Triburn 6 :46 As.
The non placed trotters were
Miss Tilford, Uncle Sam, Rous-
salks, Volshebnitt. Grace Simmons,
Ada and Boewey.
No sooner had the garnet and
gold collars passed the post than
shere was a public demonstration,
toward Phillips, the driver being
turrounded. Knowing that fact
and that the Americans were seen
on a French race course for the
first tie, their sortie from the pad
dock gave rise to prolonged cheers.

GROWERS BLUNDER.
Will Reappoint Ransom to the
Mexican Mission.


New YORK, Aug. ga special
to the Herald, from Washington
says: Matt w. A. Ransom, of n.
C.,will be reappointed United States
minister to Mexico, and the Presi-
dent will thus correct the blunder
made in the first appointment OF
Mr.. Ransom, while he was still a
member of the Senate. Whether
Mr.. Ransom will return to Mexico
or not will depend entirely upon
his wishes. In deciding what to
do in the matter, Mr.. Ransom will
be governed very largely, II not en-
tirely, by consideration as to his
health. His experience with the
climate OF Mexico last Spring was
not such as to greatly encourage
him to return. Mr.. Ransom was
not well when he went to Mexico,
however, and his physicians
thought the unfavorsble effect Of
the climate was largely due to his
then physical condition and would
not have been so serious II he had
been we'll when he left the United
States. Since his return to this
country he has recovered his
health. II Mr.. Ransom finds it
advisable to decline the Mexican
mission he will probably be offered
some other place, though none is
now vacant or likely to become
vacant in the near future that will
compare favorably with the mis-.
sion to Mexico.

Coal Yard Waterman in a Tight
Place,

AdSOs
CHICAGO, Ills, August &c.
Prompt action by the police pre-
vented Thos. Sorenson, a private
Waterman, from being lynched by
an angry mob yesterday and the
presence OF the officers nearly pre-
cipitated a bloody riot. During
the afternoon baseball game was
in progress back Of a coal ward
which Sorenson was watching.
Some boys climbed upon one OF the
coal sheds to watch the game and
when Sorenson ordered them down
they refused to obey. He there.
upon threw large chunk of coal
at the boys and struck Pat. Holmes
on the head knocking him to the
ground. The crowd thought the
boy had been killed and ball field
was quickly deserted, the enraged
players chasing the Waterman in
side the coal yards. Two police
officers arrived and attempted to
keep the crowd back by fiouishing
their revolvers, but this had no
effect. Sorenson and the two officers
were chased into the company's
private Office and from there one Of
the policemen managed to send in
a riot alarm. Being but short
distance from a police station a
wagon load OF officers quickly ar
rived and put the crowd to flight.
Sorenson was escorted home by the
police.

ditti for Plumber and Treasure.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-Sam
Moy, q prominent Chinese mer-
chant of this city, has receiver q
copy OF new Chinese newspaper,
published at Foo Chow, which gives
four columns Of space to the at
tacks upon the English and Amer
lean missionaries in June. The
paper is interesting because it
contains the Chinese version of the
affair, including the reasons given
for the beginning OF the attacks,
which hitherto were supposed to
have been purely from religious
fanaticism. A free translation of
the principal points of the Chinese
review of the riots show that the
attack on the missionaries arose
firstly from motive of mere rob-
berry, caused by the building Of
houses with Easements and second
ly from the corrupt practices Of
some of the hangers on of the mis-
sion station.
According to the report the mis-
sionaries had built houses with
Easements, something unusual in
China. AS there were no other
Easements in Ku-Cheng or its vi
cinity this popularity excited the
curiosity of the Chinese OF the city.
There is a large horde of bandits
near Ku-Cheng, composed of the
wild tribes and negatives from jus.
tice from the civilized parts Of Fo.
KEN. These bandits had heard Of
the peculiar construction of the
missionaries houses, and conceiving
that the Easements were intend
ed to store treasures, the banditti
planned and executed the first raid
for the purpose of robbery.
