A Sensation In Washington.

WAsnINUTON, March 21.-Thc nyws of the assault on Ii Hung Chang caused a sensation in diplomatic circles ill this city. CasoS where an envoy of any kind has btrn assaulted in the country Ia which he is accrcdited are rarr, and those in which a peace commissioner is attarkCd arC al most unhrard u( in uo,!rcn days
 The opinion horr iS that Japan will suf- fer gratly nS a cun>,Nlucnrv uf the aS- sault, and that tEr position of China will be SD Strengt horrd that she may he able 10 sCCur' better terms of peace than shC could otherwise have hoped for. The incident may lead Ia tho hr,AhinE off of pence nr- cutiat ions which wrrr pruv,ttlinE >u ssltiS- factorily, or at least may postpone further action in this dir, lion until Japan has gUarantCVd the safety ut China envoy and made prupvr rCImr,Ltiun.
 \ rCCCnt parallel ,sIS,' iS the attack made hy General Count FurntZ uf the spanish army on the Mu"rish rmla>e;G,lur The latter was sent tn ask Spain tu grant Maru,r0 m"rr time for the payment of the war indemnity promised tur the attacks nn the spanish al Mrllila. General FurutH bc,amC rnraced at unr of the conferences and struck the rmhaS>,,dor in tho flcc with his Cliurhvd fist
 Su seriously dih the spanish govern mrnt r,'a,ard the incident that Primo Min iStCr SIAylSta trlCErlphed full CNplana- | tion, coupled with expressions of profound regrct, to all the European courts. General Furntz harrly escaped being shot and will probably ho confined for life in ono of I the fortrcss,s of the country. The Moor | ish CmbaSSador took advantagr of the in cident to press for further delay, and 60 cured it with little trouble.
 No news on the subject of the attack upon Iii Hung Chang has been received by the Japanese legation horc. and Minister kurino was unwilling la discuss the oc- currcnce Tho members of tho legation | realized that il is a serious matter. but hopc that the first reports may prove to be exaggerated.

Assessment Work Not Suspended.

There having been considerable
speculation in this vicinity as to
whether the law passed by congress
suspending assessment work applied
to this year as we'll 1894, we repro
duce the following from the Mining
and Scientific Press, which effectually
decides the point:
ain response to continued inquir
les it is again stated that there has
been no suspension of the federal law
this year regarding the amount of an
nual required assessment work on nm
patented claims. There was in '93
and '94, but this year the SI0O work or
improvement must be done. Nor is
there the slightest likelihood that the
congress which meets on the I'd of
December will do anything in the
matter, if for no other reason than it
would be then too late in the year to
make effective any legislation appli
cable to so wide an area"

After Logan and Hickey.

Yesterday Bob Logan had Pat
Lynch, alias the Popoos, arrested on
the charge Of insanity. 1t appears
that Lynch went to Virginia City and
informed the officials that Logan and
Hickey were stealing amalgam from
the mills, and that each night he saw
the two sneaking out of the mills with
boxes Of amalgam on their shoulders.
The officers got quite interested until
they inquired how much amalgam
and learned that the boxes we're 80
feet long and 10 feet wide. The depth
of the boxes was unknown to Lynch,
but he was certain about the length
and width. He further stated that
Logan stole the amalgam and Hickey
ate it. He wanted gun to kill the
pair, rs they we're arranging to poison
him. This was what led to his arrest
on the charge of insanity. He is now
in the city jail.-Appeal.

The Sheep Market.

The depressed condition of the
sheep markets in Great Britain at
present is not due to any excessive
supplies of sheep from this country,
but to heavy importations from South
America. This is a new field for
European markets and threatens to
become a strong and dangerous COM
petitor of the United States. Shee,
can be raised in Argentine for a mere
trit1e, as grass is abundant and the
expense of herding is nominal. They
have summer when we have winter
and are in position to fatten their
sheep at minimum cost at the time
when our sheepmen have to feed
grain and the cost is greatest. How
extensive this South American trade
viii become remains, to be seen, but
1T Is said that English capitalists are
interested IN the development of the
sheep industry in that country and
have in late years introduced breed
that is superior for mutton purposes
to the old.time Merino.-Drover's
