GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.

Two and Half Millions Arrived on
the Monowai.
San Franclsoo, Oct J8. The steamer
Monowai, which arrived from Australia
today, has on board about f 3,600,000
worth of English sovereigns, consigned
to Assistant United States Treasurer
Berry, to be melted down and milled
luto double eagles here and stored away
in tbe subtreasury.
About a month ago a shipment val
ued at fl, 600,000 was received here
from Australia, and at tbat time Assist
ant Treasurer Berry wss authorized by
the treasury department at Washington
to receive the coin at bullion value fur
storage in the subtreasury and to accept
additional shipments to the amount of
$0,000,000. Soon afterward diapatohes
aunounoed that the second shipment
from Australia, amounting to 13,600,
000 bullion value, bad started on ita
way from Australia.
The treasure will be taken to tbe
iniut where the gold will be tested for
weight and fineness and afterwards
either oolned into f'JO pieces or stored
in the lubtreaiury a bullion.
Tbe gold thu chipped from Australia
is placed to tbe credit of merchants
who are buying in New York and
Europe to make up tbe balance of trade,
which is naturally in favor of New
York at this season. A dozen years
ago this plan was devised by Hugh
Craig and others, aud by it the annual
saving in the exchange between here
and New York amounts to a large sum.
Tbe next shipment, which will arrive
before the first of the year, will proba
bly be larger tban either of the two
preceding.
INFORMATION SUFFICIENT.
Convlctloa of C. (. Downing of tn.
beiilement Sustained.
Olympia, Wash., Oct. 28. The su
preme court today affirmed the lower
oourt's judgment in tbe case of State of
Washington, respondent, vs. C. O.
Downing, appellant This was a case
wherein the appellant, as clerk of Spo
kane county, was conviotcd of em
bezzlement. Counsel for Downing
urged tbat tbe information was in
sufficient to charge an offense, under
tbe act of 1803, making it embezzle
ment for any county officer to whom a
salary ia paid to fail to pay to the ooun
ty treasurer all sums tbat shall oome
Into hia bands for fees and obargea In
bia office; also that the information
did not obarge an offense under section
67, of the penal code. The supreme
court held contrary to this contention
in the oase of the State vs. Isense, the
defaulting city treasurer of New What
com, and ooncludes upon the authority
of that case, that no error was commit
ted in the lower oourt In overruling
the demurrer in this oase. Tbe excep
tion taken by the appellant to certain
charge of the lower oourt are held by
the (uprome oourt to be untenable.

habitants. The rebellion has spread
to the provinces of Manila, Bulacan,
Pampangs. Nueva Eeija, Tarlao, La
Laguina, Cavlte and Batangas.
An illu.tration of the atrocities per
petrated by the rebels, is furnished by
an attack on a large monastery, in
Cavite province, which tbey have since
used a their headquarters. Tbl
wa one of the flnt place attaoked.
Maddened by the refusal of the priest
to yield, tbe reble. on getting imide

order to wreak their vengeauce on the
Driest. Several of tbem were banged
to tress and roasted to death by burn

to Carolines. By torture, Spaniard

Tbe prison at Manila, which ba
earned for itself the opprobius title of
the "black bole of Manila," is an old
fortress. Prisoners are thrown iuto a
dungeon, the entrance into which is
gained by a bole in tbe roof. The
only ventilation is through a barred
opening underneath the platform floor,
and at high tide this means of ventila
tion i totally closed, and large num

suffocation, were found to bave torn
each other in a dreadful manner in fit
of insanity.
Numerous accusations of oowardice
bave been made against tbe Spanish.
In a brush with the rebels, they placed
native troops in the van, aud when
these were dispersed, the Spaniards
fled. To show the stress to which the
authorities are plaoed for men, dis
charging of tbe steamer was suspend
ed fur some days, because there were
no soldiers available to perform the
duties of customs officers.

that the Japanese are pacifying that
island by exterminating the natives.
Men, women aud children are bayonet

country is overrun with banditti. In
many districts, there has been severe
drought, and in addition to other hor

face. A travelor, who has just re

has been subdued, though most of tbe

Cause of the Hilton Hughes Failure.
New York, Oot 20 Chief among
the causes for the failure of the big
bcuse of Hilton, Hughes & Co. is de
clared to be tbe postage-stamp mania.
Any employe of tbe firm who had oc
casion to consult or oonfer with the
bead partner, Albert Hilton, usually
expected to meet with the petulant ex
olamatiou: "Ob, go away; don't bother me now;
can't you see I'm busy?"
He was busy, the chief of this great
conoern, but not with balance sheets
nor with oontraots, nor estimates, nor
in consideration of new ideas in dry
goods selling. The bead of one of the
largest dry goods stores in Amerioa,
the employer of thousands of persons
and over whose counters immense sums
of money were passed daily, was busy
during business hours almost exclu
sively with his collection of postage
stamps.
