Dispatches from Consetlgra this morning state that the workmen who have been engaged in moving the dead and drowned cattle have left in a body and positively refuse to resume work. They claim that the stench arising from the bodies is so severe that no human being can handle them. Disinfectants are being sent for, and it is expected the work of clearing the streets will be resumed this afternoon. The country around tbe flooded district is swarming with marauders. The authorities are employing all avail able force in securing the destitute and in attempting to dear away the worst wreckage encumbering the streets and buildings. The bodies of 1200 victims of the flood at Consuegra have been buried. The town wears a most desolate aspect. An official report of the disaster says 530 buildings at Consuegra have vanished from their sites, while 150 are in a pre carious condition and need to be demolished. Ten men are under arrest at Consuegra charged with robbing the dead. The damage done by the floods is now estimated at $4,000,000.

The gate roceip a to-day are going to be larger than Satur day of last year, although the weather was not so favorable. Among the campers and exhibit ors there is a lively moving. All are preparing to leave and this evening found the fair grounds a scene of moving. People are go ing away satisfied at having at tended the best state fair ever held in Oregon, and which would have been measurably larger had the weather been clearer. The pre miums have all been awarded and the secretary force are busy hand ing out warrants. At tbe Oregon state fair this afternoon the races which were to be about the best of the fair started in the rain. The track soon got heavy and the time was slow.

The French are anxious t make an impression on the Chinese that will be favorable to the settlement of pending questions in Tonquin and the frontier, while the Eng lish desire to keep the Chinese alienated a? far as possible from tue Kussians. meantime a sensi hie Chinese magistrate at Shang iai has addressed Ins friends among the foreign residents an apology, for the conduct of the Ubinese who looted the mission houses. The magistrate whose name is Sun Vuh Wen. ar&rues inat while the rioters have been justly punished, the missionaries are not free from blame. He claims that their habit of buying cnnaren ior education as Christ tans give rise to suspicion as to wnat is done to children, the more ignorant imagining that they are sacrificed in religious rites. Such matters, the magistrate thinks. ought to be conducted more dis creetly. Meantime the Chinese continue to be enraged against loreigners, especially in the interior. St. Pktershcro, Sept. 19. The Russian government views with increasing alarm the aggressive course of China in the direction the Russian frontiers. At a special meeting of the officers at the headquarters of the general staff at 6t Petersburg, a few days ago, the military position of China was discussed, and one of the generals who took a prominent part in tbe meeting stated that the Chinese numbered nearly .600.000 men, with an inexhausti ble population from which to draw recruits. The Chinese govern ment has consented to the con struction of a "railway from Pekin close up to the Russian frontier, and many thousand of Chinese colonists fre crossing the border! into Russian provinces, and would prove a hostile element in the event of war. in a body in Cimmaron valley, as the lands are opened.

Last night they returned, all drunk, and fired a score of shots into a crowd of negroes on the streets. Several received slight wounds.

It is deposited in sub-treasury in New York and delivered to the sub-treasury in San Francisco, and sent here.

San Francisco, (Sept. 19. Richard Everett, of Montreal, who recently represented an important constituency in the Canadian par liament, is in tbe city. Speaking of the growth of the annexation sentiment in the Dominion, he said that the scandals, which fol lowed so closely on the death of Sir John Macdonald, had made the time for a union of the two countries many years nearer. All Canada had the greatest confidence in Macdonald, and the people were inclined to give full credence to all he said against men close to Sir John, but even against the premier himself, and the people had learned that it was easier to conceal corruption under a colonial than under a republican government. Ihere waa a power- ful opposition to oyexespjc-TIfr" Everett said. bstTon'the whole the annexation movement was gaining strength every day. There were now annexationists among the most conservative French and English people in Canada. A few years ago those classes weie solidly against any nnion. IMITATING THE PRINCE.
