The anti-Chinese bill p.ossed
the house, with all the senate
amendments intact, by a vote of
3-10 to 95. It now goes to the
president.
The steamer State of Califor
nia returned to Philadelphia at
midnight Saturday, after a success
ful trial trip. She will start for
Oregon in about ten days.
The sundry civil appropria
tion bill as completed by the com
mittee on appropriations and re
ported to the house contains the
following item. For continuing
the survey of the Pacific coast, in
cluding the Columbia and other
rivers to the head of their tidal in
fluence or ship navigation, $180,-

The house committee on terri
tories, agree to report that every
effort hitherto to transform half
civilized indians into citizens with
the risrht of suffrage and individual
ownership of lands has ended in
the white man getting possession
of the lands and the Indian getting
out of his way. The transforma
tion must be gradual.

The Portugese
government
has ordered the government of
Mozambique to send troops and
three corvettes to Delagos bay on
the South African coast.
Considerable alarm is felt at
the statement in East Prussian
papers that ; recruits from. South
Astrachan are being placed on the
Russo-German frontier.
A St. Petersburg letter says
the plague in Russia has spread
in the southern provinces at a
rapid rate. Thousands upon thou
sands have died with it within the
last five days. The victims when
taken, live only about two hours,
and turn as black all over as a
neoro. All physicians ordered
to the care of the sick have died,
within twenty-four hours after
their arrival. The corpses are
burned, and so are houses in which
the neonle die. Whole towns
have been laid waste during the
past few days. The government has
placed a cordon of soldiers around
the infected provinces so that the
people cannot get out and spread
the disease. Any who attempt to
break through the cordon are shot
dead on the spot. People are be
ginning to feel uneasy all over the
empire. The government of
course does not allow the news to
get out, and all ' reports are sup
pressed, but the worst of all is, that
nobody can get out of the empire.
The Austrian and German govern
ment have placed a double cordon
of soldiers 'alene: the frontier,
preventing all persons from
entering their territory from Rus
sia. Persons arriving by railroad are
stopped at the frontier and de
tained twenty days in quarantine,
their baggage and clothing disin
fectedand if they prove all right
after a lapse of twenty days they
are permitted to cross the "border.
During twenty days the quaran
tined people are housed in large
sheds and barns without any ac
commodations or comforts. Of
course, knowledge of this fact
keeps many people from traveling.
The government is doing all in its
poper to prevent the disease from
spreading.
Pacific Coast Jisxatclics.
A terrific explosion occurred
on Saturday afternoon, in Stock
ton, California. A crowd of peo
ple assembled to witness the trial
of thenewpropellor pumpsetin the
slough and run by a threshing en
gine. Those who stood near were
prostrated, and the body of the
engine was blown a distance of
150 feet through the crowd. The
dead lay in every direction, some
falling into the slough from the
bridge, and ten or twevle bodies
lay in one heap at the northwest
corner of the bridge, others lay
strewn dead and dying on the
street, blown from fifty to one hun
dred feet. The heads of some
were blown to pieces, and others
blown to the ground with such
force as to break every bone
in their bodies. Faces, hands and
whole persons were steamed in
dirt and smoke and cinders. The
wounded were promptly cared for,
and the dead left undisturbed un
til the excitement had subsided,
when thev were removed to tho
coroner's office. The explosion
was the result of recklessness on
the part of the engineer. The
steam-gauge had refused to work,
and after the engineer had attemp
ed to fix it and failed, he screwed
down the safety valve and went on
with the work. The explosion oc
curred about fifteen minutes after
wards. The engineer was killed.
