near Port Stephens lighthouse. Only
twenty-six lives were saved. The ter
rfble details of the catastrophe NIL many
pages Of the Australian papers. Twelve
whites and forty-one Chinese were
drowned.
The accident was due to currents
drifting the steamer on the rocks in the
fury and darkness of the storm.
Mrs. and Miss Loring. who perished.
were the wife and daughter of the sec
retary Of the Imperial Federation
League of Australia. and were well
known in San Francisco, having been
on their way there via China.
At the coroner's inquest 1t was EN-
phatically proved that the steamer was
being steered all right and that the only
way to account for the vessels striking
was that some mysterious current car
ried her on the rocks.

Statistics Of circulation show de-
creases both for the month Of June and
the year ending Herewith. The net
decrease in June amounted to $2.047.-
BSs. while for the year the decrease
amounted to nearly 3s0.o00. 900. The
total cireulation on July 1.t this year
pared with 41.ss4. .061 .232 on July LIST,
1884. The gold coin in circulation
amounted to $3.50. .275, ,057. which repre-
sented a decrease Of nearly $17.600 900
as compared with the corresponding pc
riod last year. The gold coin In the
treasury, ON the other hand. showed an
increase Of little over $11 500. 900

INK $es,147.9l4. The money Of all

estimate that the population increased

50 ,s7s, 900 at the beginning Of the cur.

The lessons Of history teach us that
the Chinese can only be brought to
terms by show of force. Their word
IL lightly given and lightly broken.
They promised to investigate the mur-
ders at Ku Cheng, but now the Ameri-
can and English consuis sent with the
commission to see to 1t that the inquiry
was searching have been excluded.
Left to the Chinese prefect and his
auxiliaries, the Investigation will be as
farcical as Its predecessors. A pretense
Of Furnishing the criminals will be made
and the agents Of the empire at Wash
ington and the European capitals will
be commissioned to deceive the offended
couutrymen of the victims. The
course Of Sir Halliday Mccartney, coun-
cil1or Of the Chinese legation at Lon
don. is proof enough that only ocular
demonstration is reliable in dealing
with Chinese ENJOYS or their Caucasian
mouthpieces. The incautiousness Of the
missionaries in invading China Is not
q plea in abatement. They are Amer
lean citizens, under the protection Of
the nag whenever and wherever found.
American gunboats are now cruising in
Chinese waters. The appearance Of
one Of them. cleared for action, In a
Chinese port would do more to compel
proper punishment Of the murderers
and relief for the frightened Americans
in Canton and other towns than an
other month Of juggling with diplo-
matte forms.

and o. L. Martin. laborer, lie dead In
the morgue tonight from the effects of
poisoned wine, of which both partook

a boy, who said the bottle had been
handed to him by y colored man to be
delivered at the depot for Pullman
porter named James Gardner.
Thompson and Martin partook Of the
wine and shortly after they became yfo-
