San Fianuisco, Cal. There is a move
ment on foot at Vallejo to raise by sub
scription fund sufficient to erect a
splendid monument over the graves of
the sailors of the wrecked United States
war vessels Vandalia and Kipsio, who
lost their lives in the terrible hurricane
hich swept the Bay of Apia In 1880. It
ill be remembered that shortlv after
that awiui disaster in namoa. wha tj re
sulted in Die loss of so many brave sail
ors, nineteen of the Vandalia and Nip
sie's dead were broimht to this port and
Interred in the cemetery at Vallejo. Un
til recently, however, only a plain board
has marked the location of their graves.
although it has been hoped that some
step would be taken by the government
to place a monument over ine spot.
Friends of the dead sailors, however.
have hoped In vain. Unfortunately there
were no funds at Mare Island which
could be used for such a purpose. Those
o jisve the plan in charge propose to
ollclt iUDecripuoM iron, residents oi
Vallejo and the navy yard and also from
men aboard different warships, who will
no doubt gladly contribute their mite to
ward such fitting tribute.

New York. Unheralded and un

just returned home after a three years'
absence abroad, twenty-two months of
which have been passed In the heart of
Africa, in regions never before pene
trated by white men. After a warm
greeting from two or three friends Mr.

Chicago, III. Additional complica
tions may arise in the case of assassin
Prendergast. Judge Chetlain is not sit
ting in the Criminal Court. Judge
Payne, when a continuance as agreed
upon was submitted to him, refused to
enter the order, saying he knew no rea
son why a continuance should be granted.
The matter went over temporarily. Pren
dergast insisted on making a speech. " I
am defendant here," he said. " I want
no continuance. The question to be de
termined is my guilt or innocence, not
insanity. Murder ia a malicious taking
of human life; that crime I have not
committed." The prisoner was thrust
into his chair by bailiffs. Judge Payne
said that he would not consider the mo
tion for a continuance until after a case
now before him ia disposed of. An agree
ment has been reported by the counsel
on both sides, and State's Attorney Kern
said that the hearing of the insanity
case will go over until November 2.

CmcAOO, III. The excursion agree
ment of the Western Passenger Associa
tion was given a staggering blow by the
news from St. Louis that the Chicago
and Alton was making a rate of (20 for
the round trip between St. Louis and
Denver for the convention of the Home
opathy Society a cut of (2.50 from the
regularly authorised rate. The Missouri
Pacific at once put on the (20 rate, and
the Atchison and Topeka lost no time in
following suit. The other lines also
joined in without loss of time. General
Passenger Agent Charlton of the Chicago
and Alton denied that rates were being
cut by bis line, but Uie St. Louis agents
of the other line were positive and
unanimous in their charges against that
road. Chairman Caldwell is still hope
ful that he will be able to keep tha
trouble within bounds, but the prospects
are not bright.

Massillon, 0. The miners' relief
committee of Massillon has retained to
Governor McKinley the (10 he contrib
uted to their subecripUon for the relief
of unemployed miners on May 20, which
be spoke ol in his letter oi transmission
as his "mite." This is Uie letter from
the relief committee: "Inclosed you
will find 110, your donation to the miners
of Massillon. They unanimously refuse
to accept a mite from the hand that as
sisted in smiting them. Your donation
was solicited because the miners believed
you were at least as much in sympathy
with them as an ordinary, e very-day cit
izen, but since you have divested your
self your true character stands out in
glowing colors, and they abhor your
charity. Your ambition in a political
way, so far as the miners are concerned,'
is aura to be gratified henceforth."

The House Committee on Banking

. Delegate Smith of Arizona will make
an effort to have the appropriation for
the Carlisle Indian School struck out of
the Indian bill. Mr. Smith says the ed-
ucationof the Indians at Eastern insti-
tntions has done more harm than good.
His observation in the Western country
has shown him that the woman gradu
ates of these schools consider themselves
superior to their Indian associates and
turn their attention to miners ana ais-
solute white men of the Indian country
to the destruction of the morals and de
cency of the Indian girls. The male
graduates are also said to have their vi
cious traits sharpened, so that they are
a more dangerous class than their unlet

are confined to the Eastern schools,
where the pupils are removed from their
families and friends. - I

The Western members of the House
have held a caucus to map out a cam-
Eaign on the irrigation qnestion, and
ave resolved to spare no labor to secure
action by thin Congress. Representatives
of thirteen Western States and Territo
ries, including members of all parties,
met here the other day. Mr. Sweet,
who called the meeting, was elected
Chairman, and the matter was thor
oughly discused. In accordance with
instructions of the meeting a committee,
consisting of Representatives Sweet,
Colleen of Wyoming and Baker of Kan
sas, called on' Speaker Crisp to ask that
the Committee on Rules set apart three
davs for the consideration of a bill, which
is to be agreed upon by Western men.
The Speaker suggested that a resolution
be introduced in the regular order, and
asked to have copies of the bill submit
ted, but made no promise.
Such smooth sailing marked the first
meeting of the subcommittee ol the

and the government undertakes to make

be to make the national bank the sole
source of issuing currency under gov

but two Portuguese have been afflicted,
The plague has paralyzed business to a
large extent, as many leading steamship
lines refuse to take either passengers or
cargo from Hongkong. The symptoms
of the disease are as follows: "Without
premonitory warning in the shape of a
chill mere is a sudden onset of fever,
' rising to 105 degrees or oyer. There is
much headache, accompanied by stupor.
In eighteen or twenty-four hours a glan
dular swelling occurs in the neck or arm-
pit, increasing to the size of a fowl'segg,
oei
ing hard and tender. With or without
decline of Uie fever Uie patient sinks
into a condition of coma, and dies at the
end of twenty-four or forty-eight hours.
If six davs are reached, recovery is pos
sible, the Canton correspondent of
Hongkong papers under date of May 8
says: "There ia scarcely a house but

Buisos Arsis. The recent coup
d'etat in Paraguay ended peacefully.
Not a shot was fired. Generals Egus
guida, Caballero and Escobar, each ol
whom is a candidate for Uie Presidency,
entered into a conspiracy with the Min
ister of War to overthrow President Gon
zalez. When the President, accompanied
by the Minister of Uie Interior and uie
Chief of Police, was entering Congress
in Assumption he was suddenly sur
rounded and arrested by armed men,
who compelled him to resign his office.
The Vice-President, who is a nephew of
General Caballero, at once assumed the
power of President. The object of the
coup d'etat was to destroy the official
candidacy of Dr. Decond. Paraguay's
Minister to Uruguay. A fight for spoils
between the three gentlemen who want
to be President will probably commence
in July during Uie election of electors.
The Vice-President favors his uncle.
