The register of the treasury recently sub mitted a proposition to Secretary Maunlut for certain modifications of the existing regulation! in that bureau in regard to tin transfer and surrender of Uulted States bonds, the object belns to socure proof In each cnie similar to that which would b required in a court of justice. The niuttor was referred to Judge McCue, sollcltor-gen. cral of the treasury, aud ho has given an opinion adverse to tho proposition, on the ground that the present system Is sufficient for all business purposes, and that changes such as were suggested would tend to need less trouble and deluy. United States Consul Twchuck, of Vera Crut, in his report to the secretary of state, ays the yellow fever epidemic at Vera, Cms has bean very malignant. About 60 per cent of all cases have proved fatal. Inas much, however, as many families and sin gle persons who were subject to the dlaeust havo been absent from the city since the outbreak, there was a scarcity of material for tho attack of tho epidemic. The con sul himself had been attacked, but was al ready convalescent and attending to the duties of his consulate. Members of the KnighU of Labor state that the subject of boycotting Chinese laun dries has not been mentioned In their meet' lags. It ia further said that a boycott could not be issued against these laundries en the plea of cheap labor, an their prlcee are jrnerHlly higher than those ol waaber-worawi.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Tho schomo proposed by Sir James An derson during tho international telegraph conferenco at Berlin to Do Stcphnn, Ger man minister of posts and tolcgrnphs, for tho acquisition of all submarine cables of tho world by an international government syndicate has developed tho fact that tho oggregato capital of theso companies is 111, 4 50,081). SirJatucs' idea is that if tho govornniontH combined nnd purchased theso cables an International syndicato could mukoa tariff common to all nations, cacli to rceoivo its proporproportion of not revenues, tho tariff to bo adjusted with a viow to fetching modorato interest upon tho enpitnl used to purchase.

THE COUNTRY'S WHEAT. Pair Showing or tho Stato of tho Crop Throughout tho Country. The September report of tho dopartment of agrlculturo maks tho distribution of wheat In acres nverngo 135,000,000 bush els, while the estimate of tho production average 425,000,000 bushels. Of the dif ference, ovor 80,000,000 bushols, nt least 50,000,000 moro are on hand than nt the beginning ol tho period. The 510,000,000 remaining aro scarcely Btifllciont to offset the loss by lire, and on tho lakes and in manufacturing. Tho average consumption, 24:1,000,000 bushels; seed, 52,000,000 bushels; exportation, 140,000,000 bush els. The exportation tor eight years was only 17 000,000 bushels less than tho en tirti report of tho fifty-one preceding years. The decline In tho annual exports slnco 18U0 averages 58,000.000 bushols. The department estimates tor California aro shown to bo in excess of expectation and ordinary consumption by 400,000 bushols per annum, whllo local commercial estimates aro in oxcess by 100,000,000 in ten years. The assessors' returns of western states nro shown to bo Incomplete in varying de grees of Inaccuracy proportionate to the comparative efficiency of tho sorvico.

London telegram: Tho populace of Phil Ippoopolls, tho capital of Eastern Roumo lla, almost to u man roso lu rebellion yes terday and seized tho governor-general, deposed tho government nnd proclaimed union with Bulgaria. A provisional gov ernment was established, and tho revolu tion was so well planned that no disorder or bloodshed occurred, every ono being in sympathy with tho government except Iho government otllclilx. Foreigners in tho city nro perfectly safe from harm, us Is also tho property of foreign residents. Immediately utter thooiyniiUiitlon of tho provisional government tho militia wero sworn in, taking tho oath of ulloglauco to Prlnco Alexander of Bulgaria.

THE YANKEE BOAT WINS- Tho Great Race Between tho Puritan and tlio Crcnesta. XTho Frtze Cup Will Ilemala in America. New York dlapaUh: The race Sept.lBtb decided that America'! cup shall remain In America. It was a grand contest, and It can not be said the result proves that the cutter is lupcrlor to the center-board. Tho Puritan's wlnnlns was so small that the slightest slant In favor of her opponent would have turned tbo tables. The Puritan was tho better boat by only 1 minute and 33 scotnds. The breeze early in the morning was from tho northwest nd only fair. When the Luckenbach left her dock It bad hauled around to the south, west and freshed a little. The weather was cool, the sky almost cloudless. The Judgcsi boat was late In starting and sho mado no stops. Oil the point of Sandy Hook, a largo fleet of sail vessels could bo seen clustering irouud Scotland lightship, from whero tho start was to bo made. Among tbeso her big topsails wero distinguishable, towerine above tho smaller fry. Both wero hcadeu to land. The Luckenbach got underway and when mar them Mr. acbuvler was put on board tbo Curltan, Fleet Cautaln C'tntcr going to tho (jencsta. The Luckenbach got nearer to the Gcncsta, ?Ir Richard Sutton and his lrlcnds wero sitting about smoking and reading the pa- "llow do you make tho wind!" called out Chnlrmnn 'lams from the tug. Dr. Wood bury answered, "West by northwest by this compass." ''So do wo; that will make tho couise cast by southeast," replied Tams. Then the Luckenbach went to tho Puritan. "Can ou glvo us tho course before putting up tho signals!" called out Skipper Crocker. Tams said, "l'cs, It will bo east by south erst." "Good, then wo can rely on that course and preparo to set our spinnaker!" "yes, sir." The Luckenbach took up ner position about 2C0 yards from tbo lightship and to the north fast of it, and at 10:45 a. m., biew the signal. The boats were standing away towar.l the Jersey euore, but came about headed for tho starting point. At U o'clock tho preparatory signal five minutes beforo the start was civen. The vachts were tomo distance away. Tbo starting slinal was blown at 11 :05. The Gcncsta crossed the line first at 11:5-0, as she crossed her si lnna!er was set and it bellied out in tbo fresh breeze. At 11:0(1-10 tbo Puritan crossed the lino aud also set her spinnaker. They both looked like blackbirds with enormous white wmgs. Tho I'urltan drew up on the Englishman at once and got so tloso that from directly In tho rear they looked lUo one boat. Tno Puritan got on the Gcncsta's pert quarter and gained grauu ally until they were on even terms. As they passed Sandy Hookllehtshlp the Genesta was under mainsail, spinnaker, club topsail, jib, Jib eta) fall, and jib topsail. The Puritan carried mainsail, spinnaker, club topsail and Jib. She had her balloon jib set when sho started, Lut Skipper Crocker quickly saw it wasn't drawluir and It was taken in. At 11:43 tbo Puritan looked to Le ahead about five lengths, but the Genesta caught a pull directly aud drew up with her. Tho Gcncsta took In her Jib to, sail, liotli started with spinnakers out to starboard, but at 11:67 the Gonesta took hcr'a In, and at 12 o'clock abc jibed, and two minutes after ran out her spinnaker on the port side. Sho seemed to do better than beforo, Lut there was no advantage on the part of cither. The Puritan continued under too same sail. Tho wind freshened a Uttlo and white caps ai pcarod. This was what everybody was wish ing for. Probably everybo ly wanted a "cut ter day," so that the s, ccd of the Englishman could be shown. At 12:15 both wero even, and about half a milo from each other. Fol lowing them were four excursion steamers, four steam yachts and a few tugs and sailing vesst-ls. Theso latter did not go far. -The g amnions went too fast and thoy coucludod CO oack and see the finish. At 12:48 the Genesta took In her club top sail and so did tho Puritan. Half a minute later, at 12:52 tho Genesta put up her sprit topsails. They were nearlng the turning raft and the Ueucsta was leading a out a quarter of a mile. At I o'clock she tonk down her inlnnaker and her sailors swaved up the boom. At 1:01 tho Parltan took In her spin naker. The Genesta's boom was over to starboard, and as he nad to go to starboard of the raft it was ncccsary for her to tlbe. Every ono thought that sho would lose ground by this, but sho uldn't. She went around the raft so neatly and qulcklr, that whatever sho lost was not er ceptlble. She stood awav on the starboard tack, having turned at 1:03-80. Tho Puritan turned at UU7-U0. lloth heeled over, and their sailors lay to windward, only the tops of their caps bein dlsccrniblo over the bulwarks. At 1 :23-3 the Puritan went about on tho port tack, and half a minute later the Genesta followed. At 1:25 tho Koatonlau housid her tot sails and went along under aelnsall, jib and Jib stay- 8nUnder tho ten knot breeze both boiled through the water. 'I ho Genesta was at angle of aiout 45 degrees. The Purltau began to outpoint aud got nearer her rival. At 1:37 tho Geucsta set her worklug topsail. It be gan to blow great dins and tho spray dashed over tho decks of the judges' bo it so that It was uncomfortable. At 2:111 tho Genesta went about on the starboard tack, and at2:17 the Puritan foil wed. This was the last tack, anil both now had tliclr courses for the finish. The waves dashed over their bows and they bobbed up and down, as they rust ed nlong. Ti e Puritan had out olnteil the Genesta. 60 she was ahead a Uttlo and calnln; all the timo. She was about three-fourths of a mile to windward and eL lit miles from tho llght shto whn C aptain Crocker let out hU main sail a little aud let her go. Sho ran up close to the Geni sta, ae.d at 3 40 there was a Utile lulling uinti m. The Genesta was behind and sho went to the windward, evidently trying to irrt up and cup" her opponent Sho lost ground In this. ..... The Luckenbach went ahead and anchored about SO I vards to the north of tie llnhtslit,). The end was approaching and tho steamers tot ready to blow their wi Istles aud the vaeliM to' flro their guns. Tho Puritan crossed the lino at 4:0'. 15, Whistles blew, guns were tired, and everybody cheered. She Im mediately lutfid aud watched tho English man c me In. The (ieuesta crossed at 4: iO at. the was cheered and dated. It w as all ovor, and it can hardly bo called a defeat. The tug t-eaudlnavlan took tho Puiltau In tow and a moment later the Luck cubaeh gave the Genesta a lino. Tho dlu of whistles and cheering continued somo time. The Luckenbach overhauled tho tcsndlna vim. and as tho two yatclies came near each ot er. the UenesU people dolled their caps to the Puritan people. TUe Old Dominion stoamer Richmond passed bv with a crowd of ccUtor '1 hey cheered the Genesta, then cheered at'ttn. Touipkinsvllle was reached about fl:S0, and the two champions dropped auehor. The sslling time was Puritan, 5.01 M; Geneta, 5 0 2.1. Gi uesU's corrected time was 5:04 5J. Thel'uiltan won by 1 minute, US second. NO FK1END OF H1U) CLOUD. Mr. Metluiii Hum Some Hani Tliliign to Say ofllioOlil Warrior. Mr. Lcldom, sergennt-at-nrms of the house, who was in chnrgo ot tho Holinun Indian committee, conies back hen?, says a Washington dispatch, with various novel views ot tho Indian race. Bed Cloud ho believes to bo a loafer and constitutional dcadbeat, who is tho only ono ol all the chiefs the committed lino visited that steadily refuses to allow his children to attend school nnd tako on tho ways of civilisation. Hed Cloud tolls his peorio that us long as the great fatherkuows that they nro ui a do to support themselves they will bo provided with rations, but if they becomo self-supi ortlng they will re ceive no more help. hoi it was suggested to him that his men should learn to mrm, he said: "Our farmer (their Instructor In agriculture) is not of tho rig'it kind. Ho comes hero and wnnts our warriors to work. What we want is for the great father to send us white men to plant our corn, hoo it, reap it and put it in bams, which they should build for us. Wo aro warriors and don't work; squaws work." Mr. Lcidom says the committee has a number of reforms in Indian government to recommend. The general tenor of them all will be to treat tholndlans Ilkochlldron, and govern them accordingly; to teach them to farm nnd earn their own living, but to care for them whenever they aro un able to do bo themselves. THE COAL MINE BUTCHERY. Thorough Inicstleatlon Into Causes of tho Dastardly Crime. Secretary lmmr Telecrnplicd tliat Protection 1 Needed. 77i Chinese Contttl and the Government, Cheyenne dispatch: Three ol tho govern ment directors, Gen. E. P. Alexander, M. A. Hanna ad Jnmcs W. Savage, are at Kock Springs investigating tho circum stances attending tbo late outbreak. Thoy gave a hearing yesterday to the committco of citizens who hnd previously presented their case to Mr. Bromley. Nothing now appeared as to tlio alleged griovanccs against tho Chinese, or against tho om ployes of tho mines. Tho same rules were observed with regard to the circumstances immediately connected with tho outrages, all witnesses refusing to say anythlngwhat ever concerning the attacks upon the China men nnd tlio burning of their quarters. The examination wus chiefly conducted by Judge Savage, who was materially as sisted therein by Mr. Hanna, who is him self a mine owner und familiar with the subject of miners' grievances. Every op portunity has been furnished the citizens and miners to present their grievanco. Tlio government directors decided upon the facts as shown, to send the following dispatch to Secretary Lamar: Tho undersigned government directors of the Union Pacific railway, pursuant to law, report that we havo mado investigation upon the spot of the nllcgcd outrages re cently occunlng at this place, and wo find such a condition of alfuirs hero ns in our opinion endangers tho property of tho road, jeopardizes tho Interest of the government nn u calls for prompt interference. Wo therefore deem it important that full authority should bo given the propcrofll cers to affoid nmplo assistance to the man agcrs in their efforts to protect tho proper ty of the company and conduct thobusiness of the road. E. P. Alisxandkk, M. A. Hanna, Jas. W. Savaqe. Tho Chinceo consul nt San Francisco, Col. Bee, and the Chinese consul at New York are hero with a Chineso interpreter, to muke a thorough investigation onbehnlf of the Chinese government ot ail the circum stances connected with thooutbreak. They aro ordered here by the Chinese legation at Washington. Col. Bet) hns already had tho remains of some of the Chinamen who wero killed exhumed, and it wus found in two in stances the skulls ot the Chinamen were fractured, Indicating that they were killed in a struggle at close quarters. Tho consuls have offered a roward of $15 each for additional bodies found in the vicinity. Accurato returns ns to the num ber ot Chinamen killed cannot yet bo made, but so far as can be now learned there are fifteen missing, and the wholo number killed is twenty-one. Col. Bee has made up his mind from con versations with the citizens nnd officials that any attempt to bring tho offenders to justice through the local authorities will fall. It is his intention to telegraph the state department through tholegation call ing tor moro vigorous measures for the pro secution of the criminals by tho United States courts under tlio provisions of the treaty with China. Ho says that all of the proceedings that havo been had in tlio mat ter bo far are a bold farce, and unless the matter is taken in hand by tho United States authoiitics there will bo nothing done. Ho finds eleven of tho grnnd Jury before whom the coses of the raen already arrested will go aro citizens of Kock Springs, many of them miners, all of them sympathizers with tho rioters, whilo of thopctit jury four teen of the twenty-four aro from Bock Springs. Col. Pec states ns ono of the remarkable results of tho inquiries, that of the men en gaged in tho outbreak not ono was nn American born citizen. Ho deems it espec ially significant that tlio outcry against tho Chinese which Is depended upon to Justify tho outrages comes from men who nro not themselves natives, and many of them not citizens of tho United States.

Not n Single Fact Presented to Justify tlio Jtccent Onslaught. Work Resumed at the Mines. Salt Lako telegram: Mr. Bromley, as sistant to President Adams, who represents the company in the matter ot tho Rock Springs difficulty, has been in tho city to day. Interviewed by a representative of the associated press, he was asked it the reports nro true. Ho said in his belief tho company would turn over the road to the United States government in event ot a general strike. Ho said he was, of courso, not authorized to speak for the company, but had no doubt thostatement hcretoforo published was substantially correct, that sooner than submit to tho demnnd of tlio strikers thatthoCiiinesoshould be excluded from tho mines and tho men guilty of mur der, robbery and arson berestored to their positions unpunished and almost would surrender tho management promptly to tho United States government. He was asked what he thought as to tho outlook at Rock Springs to-morrow morning, and said ho hud notnt any timebelioved the Knights ot Labor organization would put theniHelves in so fnlso a position as to undertako to jus tify the outrngo at Rock Springs by a gen eral strike. Ho had heard the testimony of Rock Springs citizens nd miners presented to him as a representative of the company, und subsequently in letter form to tho gov ernment directors, nnd had not been able to discover a single fact which justifies in tho remotest degree tho recent occurrence. Ho was ( onfident the government directors wero of tho sumo opinion after they heard the discharged miners, and their friends and sympathizers present their own views of the situation, lie wns asked if the com pany hnd serious apprchonsions as to tho situation. So far ns ho knew, he eaid, ho believed tho directors wero perfectly con tent to suUmit tho question as it now stands. If a general strike is ordered upon this stato of facts, it will go out of the hands of tho management of the company nnd becomo a question for tho American people to decide. Tho directors of tho com pany aro trying to manage its affairs in such a way ns to give no just causo of com plaint to any of ita employes, but will not be put in a position to justify such out rages as were perpetrated nt Rock Springs. They will not avoid or evndo tho issue with tho miners or others of their employes upon this question. As it now stands they aro prepared to rcsumo work in the mines to-morrow morning and offir employment to nil miners who desiro to go to work who wero not engnged in the recent disturbance If any organized at tempt is mado to obstruct them in tho peaceablo operation of their mines, tiioy will do all iti their power to avoid obstruc tions. When they find thoy nro powerless, they will simply abdicate and let tho gov ernment take hold. The government direc tors E. P. Alexander, of Montana, and James W. Savage left here this afternoon.

TIIE SILVER QUESTION, Likely to lio a Prominent Issue of tlio Coming Soislou of Congrons- Washington dispatch: Representative War ner, of Ohio, is in Washington. He says it Is! his belief that congress will pass a comuro mlsc silver bill at the next session. Refer ring to tho silver question as lUely to be a prominent issue ut the coming session of con gress, tbo Star publishes an article purport 'ng to give the attitude of tbo administration and congressional leaders ou the subject. It Bays: 'Both Bland und Reagan are quoted as deT clariugthclrdetermlnation tostand by the bil1 aud tho dollar uucompromlslngly.aud the anti silver men sav tnat PresUieut Cleveland has uot altered his views in the least since writing his lamous untl-silver letUr sbortly alter nis election. Tho prospect seems to be for a t-truUlit Issue on both sides, and the outeoiuo dopeuds upon whetlieror uot the administra tion has received enougu converts since last session to put them In control of tho house ou that question, which Ij tuought to bo tne most im portant iu the organization of the house, uad in this respect speaker Carlisle will be jilaced iu an awkward position In h.s canvass for tho pcukersulp, and he will have to decide us to tho organization of the co.u.ie, weights aud measures committee, wu.eli will have tho sliver question beforo it. According to gen eral custom the old chairmen who have served satisfactorily will bo reappointed at the heads of their respective committees. Thus Mor rison will expect to go at tlio head of tho ways and meaus. while liandall's friends will claim fur him the approtnauon committee, liland will expect to be placed at the head ot tho coinage, weights and measurescommlttee. He will expect also that tho committee shall be organized according to his Ideas, so that the sliver men be In control. Should his ex pectations bo accomplished tho silver men would havo tho reins in their own hands and tho admluistratlon bo Ueleatod at tho outset, Ou tho other hand, If Carlisle should re. use to place Blaud In ids old position or thould or ganize a committee so as to take the power out of his h. nds, It would have a teudency to commit tbe house to tho support of the ad-' ministration beforo any vote had been taken, aud pluuglng It into a long, warm coutest at once, lu the faco of these circumstances it Is important to know what Carlisle's views on the question are. Tho sliver men natur ally reckon on his being with them aa op posed to the New ork baukers, but It Is un-i derstood he has ktudled tho question care fully, and is Inclined to think with the presi dent that there is dancer lu the unlimited, coinage of silver dollurs. Tho Quest ou is giving him more uneasiness than the tanll or anvttdng euo that may come before congress this winter. For months i at he has been t.nklnir with men on botbslUdi making a care ful -Jtn.lv of the situation." Cowhide and Pistol. A Bnnker Hill (Bl.) special sajs: A bad feeling which has existed for a long time between Hon. A. M. Young, ex-member ol the legislature, and Dr. 8. P. nale, a retlrod morchant nnd capitalist of this city, was renewed In a recent law suit here, in which Young represented the plninttlf and Hale wns a witness for the defense. The oppor tunity offered was a favorable one and be fore the court could interfere hot words had passed. The affair culminated to-day by Thomas Hale, son of the doctor, con fronting Young as he was coming down town, and, with a drawn revolver, de manding retraction nnd satisfaction. Youii drew his pistol, but Hale had the drop on him, and compelled him to throw down his weapon; then advancing he struck Young a terrible blow with his fist in the eye. and forced him to retreat to a door-yard, to the music of a raw-hide which Hale Industriously plied. The end Is not yet, and grave tears are entertained that the outcome will be a serious one. NEWS A5D OTHER K0TES. Sullivan is not the first pitcher who has been broken up by a "bat."

A rmilLOUS mtUDICAZIHXT. Ono of thoso tlirilling episodes thai; occasionally punctuate tho lif oof a miner nnd illustrate its perils occurred recently in tho Wallaco and Ferguson mine, nt Sheep ranch. Tho shnft 1ms two com pnrtments, and is 400 fect deep. Both compartments aro used for hoisting pur poses, signal bells being utilized to cn nblo tho engineer to distinguish between tlio divisions of tho shnft. Ono day last week threo men went down in tho buck et, their destination being tho 200-foot level. Ono of tho trio, Thomas Tag gart, got into tho bucket, whilo tho other two stood on its top and hold on by the cable tho "usual way." Arriving at tho 200-foot station tho two men stepped off into tho levol, and Taggart had got partially out of tho bucket when tho bell of tho other compartment gavo tho sig nal to hoist. Tho engineer mistook tho signal and hoisted in tho compartment in which tho mon had just gono down. Taggart was in tho act of getting out of tho bucket had ono leg out and ono in, in fact when tho latter started up tho shnft. Tho buckot, with Taggart hang ing to it, had proceeded but n fow feet when it tipped over, precipitating tho unfortunate man headlong down the shaft. At tho momont of falling in utter desperation, as a drowning man grasps at a straw Taggart caught at the rocky wall of tho shaft with his hands. By a miraclo of good fortuno ono of his wrists lodged in a wedge-shaped inter stice in tho sido of tho shaft, and Tag gart hung by ono arm, suspended jn mid-air, with 200 feet of Bpaco beneath him. No ono can havo tho faintest con ception of tho unutterable horror of such a position. Enveloped in impenotrablo darkness, suspended by ono arm over an abyss that invited liim to certain death if his frail support should give way, and alivo to tlio knowledge that tho descend ing bucket night precipitate such a ca tastrophe, Taggart's situation was so inexpressibly horriblo that its contem plation makes ono shudder. Luckily, however, his comrades comprehended tho situation of affairs and by acting promptly prevented a tragic ending of tho accident. Taggart was released from his perilous position, escaping any moro serious injury than a sovero strain of his physical system and mental facul ties. Calaveras (Cal.) Chronicle.
