AN EAST INDIAN REVOLT. Government Troops Massacred at Manipur.

Eight British Officers Reported Killed. The Battle Raged Fiercely for Two Days. Nearly Five Hundred Goorkhas Massacred. A Tribal Feud the Cause of the Outbreak. Calcttta, Murch GO. A dispatch from Manipur, Frovince of Assam, brings news of a disaster to a force of native troops there. It seems that Mr. James W. Quinton, the chief commissioner of Assam, has recently been investigating some 6erious troubles which have occurred among the native chiefs. As a result of bis investigation the chief commissioner was hold ing a durbar or conference with the notables of Assam with the view of arresting one of the prominent chiefs who had been instrumental in deposing the rajah. The chief commisioner, whiio pursuing inquiries concerning the disputes betweeu the chiefs, occupied a camp which was parrisoned by a strong force of goorkhas native infantry in the British service. Suddenly this camp was attacked by a number of hostile tribes led by their c hie fa. A two davs' battle, during which some desperate fighting took place, followed the ondauKht of the tribesmen. The goorkhas fought most determinedly against heavy odds, aid, according to the report, 470 of the goorkhas were killed, Seven of tho British officers who accompanied the chief commissioner and that official himself are reported to be missing. The news of the massacre was brought to Kokima, on the Assam frontier, by two Goorkhas, who arrived there yesterday. The massacre originated in a fetid between the rajah of Manipur and a leading trihul chief. The rajah was deposed and ha appealed to the viceroy. Mr. Quinton was pent to settle the trouble, and started from the head charters at Mullong, escorted by the Forty-second and Fortj--fourth Goorkha intantry. After crossing the frontier Mr. Quinton summoned tha chiets to a durbar at Manipur for the purpose of arresting the rebellious chief?. The tribesmen, pretending to obey the summons, mustered in force, and at midnight, on the day before the day on winch the durbar was to be held, suddenly attacked tho camp of Commissioner Quinton, which lay between Kokima and Manipiir. Tlie attempt to surprise the camp failed and the triLesr.ieu were driven bck. They returned, however, and kept up tho attack and sieg3 night and day for forty-eight hours. Finally tho ammunition of the Goorkhas cava out and Commissioner Quinton was obliged to give tho order '6auve qui pout." During the light at the camp scouts wera eiit out to try and communicate with Shillong, but they never returned. The Muni pur natives cut the telegraph wires and killed the messengers. Fugitives report that a general massacre followed the taking of the camp. There i reason for believing that the estimate that 470 wore killed is incorrect. One account of the aiTair reports that Commifsioner Quinton and his 6ta:l were made prisoners. Another account flays that Col. Fkene, the commander, Commissioner Quinton, wi:h his son and daughter, Cant. toileau and fix othcers were killed. The natives refused to give them quarter. The rebellious tribes are famous for cunting, cruelty and bravery. Immediately upon receiving the news of the disaster tho viceroy at Simla summoned a council. Two native regiments, stationed in Assam, have already been dispatched to ilauipur. Tho Third liengal infantry is en route to the scene. The viceroy of India has abandoned his tour and has started for Simla. Five regiments and a mounted battery have been ordered to Manipur. London, March 31. All the morning dailies comment upon the gravity of tho Manipur rebellion and the necessity of strong measures to retrieve British prestige. .Some of the papers think Commissioner Quinton's force was inadequate and that he committed a biunder in underrating the strength of the enemy. ANOTHER REVOLUTION. Three Hundred 1'trnplo M.-isacred on the lulnntl of Cnmuao. London, March CO. News has come to this city from Zanzibar of tho outbreak of the revolution in tho Comono Islands in the Mozambique channel, about three hundred and City miles northwest of the Madagascar coast. On the island of Anjouan the natives, after tho death of Sultan Abdullah, supplied themselves with arms and spread over the country massacreing SCO people and carrying destruction far and wide. The war vessels of the French squadron, now in- the waters of the Indian ocean, have been directed to proceed to the islands and put down the insurrection. The Cornono islands are under French protection, but are nominally ruled by Arab princes. THE EASTtRN QUESTION. Ones More It Dtromri the Bugbear of European Cabinet. Berlin, March 31. The Cologne Gatrtle, commenting upon the murder of M. EeltchefT, the Bulgarian minister of finance, says today: "The importance of the Eeltcheff murder is enhanced by the coincidence that the new agitation in Bulgaria hs3 been traced to the Bussians and the fact that papers related to the French foreign cilice declare that the mandate which the Constantinople conference granted to Prince Alexander, the deposed ruler of Bulgaria, can't be continued to Prince Ferdinand, the present ruler of the country." It is re sorted that a noto has been issued byM. DeGier3, theliussian secretary of state for foreign affairs, forerunning the intention of Ilussia to intervene in the Balkans. This circumstance, says the Cologne Gaznt, combined with the demonstrative massing of Prussian troops on the Austrian frontier, is looked upon as a sign of tho approach of critical days in eastern Europe. The Father Lloyd, discussing the same situation of affairs, says: "We stand at the beginning of another groat movement

upon the part of Rusisa which will probably open with a protest against the reappointment of Prince Ferdinand as gover

nor of Boumelia, It is time, then, the j dreibund should consider how long it will I continue to allow Ilubsia to make military preparations." St. Petersburg, March 30. The Russian newspapers concur in the opinion that tho BeltchetF incident is proof that it is necessary for the powers to intervene in Bulgaria. Tho -Vow Vrenvja declares that the time is near at hand when the duties involved by the Berlin treaty will requiro fulfillment. Vienna, March 30. Three hundred and fifty Bulgarian refugees armed with Russian and Berdan ritles were waiting in Servian frontier towns in order to march to Sofia in the event of tho success of tho Benderell plot to murder M. StauibouloiT. Riot and Mutiny. Bcenos Ayp.es, March 30. A riot occurred at Moron during the recent elections. Two hundred voters attacked the police and general firing ensued, which lasted two hours. The killed and wounded numbered twenty. A mutiny occurred on the Chilian man-of-war Filcomaho while lying in the harbor here. Tho mutiny is supposed to have been instierated by Chilian residents of this city. Three sailors were killed and nine were wounded. The Chilian IlcTolt. London, March 31. A dispatch to the Times from Santiago says that the archbishop of Chili has issued a pastoral letter condemning the strong revolutionary sympathy of the clergy. It is reported that nitrate is being; shipped to Iquique, and that duties thereon are paid to the insurgents under protest. PHENOMENAL FOX CHASE. A Run that Lasted Twenty-Three Hours Consecutively. Wheeling, W. Va., March 30. The longest fox chase on record took place Friday among the Cheat mountain. Marshal Crow and a party of friends with seven hounds started a fox at Mikier's Rocks, two miles below Morgantown, at 9 o'clock Friday morning. The fox was well grown and had good speed from the start. He took a heading direct for Cheat mountain, as the highest peak of the range is known, and was followed closely by the entire pack of hounds in full cry. Three hours later the fox and hounds passed the home of Reese Swindler, near Cheat river, about fourteen miles from the starting point, the foremost dog being about thirty yards behind. .Swindler is a fox hunter and has a large pack of hounds. lie loosed four of them and allowed them to join in the chafe and they being fresh were soon within a hundred yards of tho fox. Reynard doubled his track on them, however, and was soon out of sight. Nothing more was seen of the fox and hounds till the next morning at 8 o'cloc k, w hen some timber men working on Cheat river at Beaver Hole, more than sixty miles from the point of starting, heard the paclr comingnrrrrhe raltey "in -tub cry. In n few minutes they were in sight. Tha fox was leading only by a few yards and the foremort hound was coming up on him. Tho other dog were still close and were fairly in the chafe. The fox seemed to be almost done out and turned toward tho lumbermen ns if to secure protection from his pursuers, but just as he came within a stone's throw of the camp the foremost hound caught him by tho neck, and in a minute he was dead.1 The other dogs cam up in time to assist in tho killing. After the fox was dead and the exc itement that had urged the dogs on in the chano had priced, all the dos lay down on the ground and cou'd not be induced to move, so completely exhausted were they. Three of the dogs that ntarted in the chase failed to show up at tho killing, and have r ot been seen since. They are supposed to be in the foret somewhere worn out and possibly dead. The chaso lasted about twenty-three hours, and is the longest ever heard of in West Virginia. The distance traveled cannot, of course, be known, but it is said by those acquainted with the passes in the mountains and tho direction the fox would probably take that it must have traveled at least 3o0 miles in tho twentythree hours. INTERESTING FIGURES. Oaly 2,011 Persnn Xatnratlzed In Mexico Slice 182H. City of Mexico, March 23. The foreign office has published a table showing tho number of foreigners naturalizod here since 1S2S, and it will occasion some surpri:3 that the total in sixty-three years should not have exceeded 2,04-1. Of this number 1,147 were Spaniards. Other nations are as follows: French, 203; German, 172; Italians, loS; Americans, 110; Guatemalans, 37; other Central Americans, 30; English, 42; Swiss, 12, and a few each of Russians. Chilians, Austrians, Poles, Hungarians, Greeks, Turks and Chinamen. The greatest number of pereons naturalized in any one year was in 1844, when 237 took out papers. Very few Frenchmen were naturalized during tho period of the empire, and no Austrians, Since Gen. Diaz became president the average number of foreigners yearly becoming citizens has been higher than any previous period in the history of tho republic ALL FOR LOVE. Charles nwklns KUlad and m Child Fatally Injured at Kaufman, Tex. Kaufman, Tex., March 30. Marion Hampton and Charles Hawkins were rivals for a lady's hand. Their jealousy culminated in a tragedy in a church yesterday. Hawkins was shot and killed and a live-ycar-oM child passing by fatally wounded. Hampton was arrested. Found Anotliar Cnnaet. Mt. Hamilton, CaL, March 30. A small, fairly bright comet with a tail 15 minutes i long was discovered by Prof. Barnard last ! night at the Lick observatory. At 8 hours : and 34 minutes its position was right as cension; 1 hour 10 minutes 10 seconds north; declination 44 degrees 43 minutes. The comet is moving rapidly southward in the direction of the sun 1 degree a day. This makes the fifteenth comet discovered by this observatory. Its present motion, however, will soon carry it out of sight in the neighborhood of the sun. ' A ! ardly Crime. Sycamore, 0., March 30. An attempt was made to kill John Ankcny and family by blowing np the house with dynamite while the inmates were asleep. Fortunately no one was injured, but the house was wrecked.

)lT Mi Where the Tales of Buried Treasure Originate. Tho State Department Exposes a New Dodge. An Attempt to Victimize President Harrison. Many Other Prominent Men Narrowly Escape. Bcwaroof theTrlest Who Brings You a Spanish Legacy. Washington, March 20. For several years past attempts have been made to victimize people of prominence in the United States by playing upon their credulity at the e xpense of their purses. Just who tho would-bo swindlers are and to what extent they have succeeded is not known, but sufficient data has drifted into the department of state to indicate that these operations have been conducted on a broad scale and that the leader in them is intelligent and well acquainted with the affairs of the persons selected as victims. Whether there is one man or whether he has confederates it ia hard to determine, although tho indications point to co-operative action. The fraudulent schemes are of the same general plan but details are varied infinitely to meet the character of the victim. As a rule he is a person who has at some time had a slight acquaintance with a Spaniard. He receives a letter from a Spanish priest telling him that a large sum of money has been devised to him by this Spaniard on conditions that always involve tUe advancement of a greater or less sum of money to pay necessary charges. The first notice the department of state had of the swindle was a letter addressed to President Harrison soon after he assumed his office. In this letter the writer, a catholic priest, as be deecribed himself, informed tho president that a Spanish army officer, after undergoing incredible vicissitudes of fortune, had died in Spain. He bad delivered to the priest a sachel containing 200,000 which was to be turned over to President Harrison on the polo condition that he would assume charge of the officer's little daughter. Incidentally, the amount of S",000 was needed to pay necessary expenses. The matter was contidentia', and the president was to dir-'Ct a reply in -JjiHrdMsHhe. priest and inclose it in a letter addressed to a Spanish lady. The priest also inclosed a letter from a bishop testifying to tho good character of the priest, but perhaps from inadvertence, or more probably to avoid conviction if detected, the testimonial was made out for a person of different name from that signed by the alleged priest. The next person selected an a victim was Gen. Bartlett of tho pension ollico in Washington. In this case a great quantity of valuable plate was at stake, incumbered with an innocent, angelic child of a Spaniard, whom the general ready recalled as an acquaintance of his early years. His suspicions were aroused by the unusual precautions that were to be observed, and he escaped without los. Then a prominent druggist of Paterson, N. J., was picked out by the gang, but he regarded the priest's letter as a practical joke and paid no serious attention to it. Burly last week a citizen of Cresson, la., was "told that $-10,000 in jewels and treasure was buried in his neighborhood by a Spaniard he had known in by-gone years, lie was to have a description of its location and a part of the proceeds of the property if he would send the remainder to a daughter of tho Spaniard, bonding himself heavily and remitting money to pay charges before receiving the chart showing the location of the treasure A member of tho United States house of representatives last summer also came in for one of these prize packages, which was warranted to contain a fortune and a beautiful heiress. A letter was addressed to this member from the "Parish church of San Jaime Atreida," bearing the seal of the church and the seal of the archbishopric of Toledo. The letter, like the others, purported to be from a priestAlberto Senar, in this case located in the province of Badjos Sona Maria Casilias, Calle Judera No. 23 Villanueva La Sarena. This letter is chiefly remarkable for the crafty manner in which the priest Keeks to prevent the exposure of the swindle by making it appear to be in the recipient's interest to maintain silence. The priest's story is romantic, as is invariably tho case. An illustrious prisoner had died in a castle. The charge upon which he was confined embezzlement from the state was cun ningiy stated with apparent innocence, a! though its suggestion indirectly accounted for the great fortune of 0,000,000 pesetas (Sl.fcOO.OW)), which the prisoner had se creted, lie had Felccted the American congressman to act as his executor. He had an innocent, angelic heiress and was willing to allow the executor the fifth part of his fortune for his trouble. The priest had been told, under the seal of the con fessional, that the treasure had been secretly deposited by the illustrious prisoner in the Bank of London. It happened that his baggage was in possesion of the court and in a secret recess of one of the trunks was concealed the receipt of de posit of the money. The prisoner, m his will, stipulated that his executor should pay down 20.000 pesetas ($.",000) for the purpose ot withdrawing the baggage from tbe hands of the court, because the bag gage would not be surrendered by the court if the secret was discovered. The priest enjoins upon the congressman a eepulcnra silence in regard to the matter. AIho he warns him that powerful enemies of deceased may take steps to discover the secret, and says: "Fall not into the temptation of revealing of secret, since, if you remain steadfast you will prevent the eternal mistortune ol the innocent angel. The priest 6igns himself "Your most af fectionate brother in Christ." and in closes a letter from Antonio Altavin Os, archbishop of Toledo, duly sealed, en joining the congressman to send along the money, beginning with a draft of 2,500 on London or i'aris. It appears that in this case, as in the case of the letter addressed to President Harrison, the name of the priest as given by the archbishop is spelled ditlerently from the name given by the priest himself. Moreover, the real archbishop of

Toledo is Don Miguel T tya V. Rico, and the pretentious seals are probably not

counterfeits, but extemporaneous designs. The last communicati .n on the subject which has reached thed-.partment of state is from an attorney at . 'w m Nebraska. He gives a notification of tho Rcbemo which was attempted in ISS'2. In this case a pretended catholic priest had learn ed at the confessional that a prisoner condemned for theft from the queen of Spain (there is always an insinuation of the manner in which tbe bogus treasure was come by) bad died leaving concealed in America a large amount of-monc) of which a considerable part he wished to leave to a banker in Nebraska, if tho latter would act as his executor. This particular banker showed tbe letter to the lawyer, who investigated the matter and saved the loss of money. The attempt was renewed last November upon another banker of the same city. The old fctory was again modified; the names were changed and the place of writing was Valencia instead of P.alboa, but the handwriting was the Fame as in the first case. The document consisted of a forged exemplification of tho wid, a forgod certificate of tlie clerk of the court and other papers. Those also fell into the hands of tlie same attorney and he led the parties along in ; correspondence, while he in the meantime notified the American minister in Spain and the chief of police of Valencia, urging the authorities to act. A LIVELY DAY IN SLIGO. Tho Rival Uriah Faction Com Io(lhcr Again. Slico, March 20. Today has been the liveliefit day eo far in tho North Sligo election campaicn. By 8 o'clock this morninjr the etreots were alive with people listening to tho music of several bands. The Parnell contingtnts with their leader were out by 10 o'clock engaged in personal canvassing. In their zeal they attempted to devote attention to Coney Island, in Sligo bay, although there arc only twenty-five voters on tho island. Farnell met with a hostile reception at Strand Hill, where he found it impossible to hold a meeting, owing to the piercing yells of his opponents and was finally compelled to retreat to Sluro. The bishop of the diocese together with the priests of the whole district denounced Mr. Parnell to their congregations at mass this morning. Meanwhile the anti-Parnellites, Messrs. Sextcn and Coller, Maurice Ilealy and Michael Ravitt and their party, bent on an unfortunate attempt to carry the fieht into tho enemy's country, started at 9 o'clock in the morning for the Tireragli district, addressing smalf gatherings on their way until Templeboy wa9 reached. Here hostile camps had been formed. The Parnellitcs maintained sullen eilence, but their opponents with rinin cheers welcomed the reinforcements. The Parnellites gathered on the brow of a hill, armed with blackthorns and other weapons, threatening to more toward their opponfcets. hut tho police interred and with a lino of b yonets awed trie antagonists, ana the f-torm subsided amid muttered threats and curses. All now moved in the direction of Dromore West, where after a similar scene, the Parnellitcs pelted their opponents vigorously with stones until they were chased an 1 clubbed by the police. Michael Havitt Ied his adherents ol!, all ducking their heads and some covering themselves with rugs to avoid the fusilado of stones. Mr. Pinkerton, member of parliament from Galway, had his head cut and several others were injured. On trying to enter F.asker the anti-Par-nellites found the road barred by a formidable array of Parnellites and on the advice of the police they retreated in the direction of Siieo amid another shower of Htoues and other missiles. The party reached Sligo in the evening, where they addressed a largo meetincr. They gave a detailed account of tho day's happenings and the treatment they had received, and declared the Parnellito le aders organized on the previous night in Sajo. They all vowed vengeance. At tho same time they complimented the police for the protection that thoy had afibrded them. 1)ci;lix, March 21. A telegram from Ba'.lina reports that Dr. Tanner was seriously assaulted by a hostile mob today being knocked down and dragged prostrate through tho mud. The fusilado of stones continued until the party was half a mile from Faskey. A car with a couple of newspaper men following 100 yards behind the Davitt party was attacked by the Parnellitcs, and the occupants were thrown to the ground and were so seriously hurt that the)' were obliged to stop at a village to have their wounds dressed. On learning who the wounded men were the "assailants expressed contrition. Hur.M.v, March 29. Michael O'Hrien Dalton has written to Timothy Ilealy apologizing for the assault which ho made on the latter at Cork on the 2:',d. He denies that anyono had instigated the ussault and begs Mr. Ilealy to remember that ho (the writer) had just been released from jail and was smarting uuder an unjust accusation. Dublin, March 30. Michael Davitt and Mr. Roche, M. P., returned from Sligo to Faskey by a circuitous route ou Surday nudit. Mr. Condon immediately called a meeting and dared Mr. Davitt to ehow himself. An altercation in tho road led to a scuffle between Messrs. Poche and Conway, members of parliament, and the poiico were obliged to 6eparato tho combatants. Mr. Davitt remained in Easkey until this afternoon. Quiet has prevailed at North Sligo today. The McCarthyites continued their canvass and Mr. Parnell addressed meetn?s in Tireragh. Tho surgeons of Siigo have been kept busy today dressing wounds received in yesterday's fight. The mayor has refused to erant the use of the Town hall to either party. Messrs. Davitt and Sexton addressed a large meeting in the park tonight from the steps of the town hall at Sligo. Mr. Sexton announced that Mr. Smith, the first lord of the treasury, had consulted with Mr. McCarthy on the question of the appointment of the Irish delegates on the labor commission and that Mr. McCarthy, in consultation with tha members of his party, has recommended Michael Davitt as the Irish representative. Curious Case of Po'sonlog. Minneapolis, Minn., March CO. Pat tie Kuley, Alice Stoddard, Louis Banister, Mamie Holden, Emma Dickson, Ilattie Redmond, Annie Gregory and Marie Wbeeler, membsrs of the Crystal Slipper company, were poisoned by drinking coffee and tea which had been made in new urns. The company was en route to Minneapolis, and drank the iduflf while on board a bullet car on the Burlington road. None of them were able-to go on the stage tonight, but it is not expected that any serious result will follow.

PfU ivnci JUL im. The Treasurership Too Big a Burden to Carry. Ill Health Assigned as the Cause of His Action. Mr. Bean Soys Idaho Will Go Democratic. The Indiana War Tax Claim to be Paid Today. Description of the Danjrerons New Two-Dollar Counterfeit. Washington, March ?,0. J. A. Lemcke of Indiana, who has ben prominently mentioned as the probable successor of TJ. t. Treasurer Ilueton, informed the president today that he did not desiro to be considered in connection with the office. A reporter for The Sextixeu called upon Mr. Lemcke at his residence, corner of St. Joe and Pennsylvania-sts. and questioned him concerning the truth of tbe foregoing. "That's right," said Mr. Lemcke after perusing the telegram a second time. ''When I was in Washington last February I toM the president that my health wa3 very poor, and that I was hardly able to perform the duties devolving on the U. S. treasurer. I have been working very hard during the last few years, and while I am not an invalid, I feci that a rest would be of considerable benefit to me. Of course I could not help feeling highly honored at being tendered an office of this kind, and I only wish that I was physically able to fill it. When it was offered me I consulted with my physician and he advised me not to accept. I am simply acting on his advice. I have engaged passage to Germany for myself and family on tho A gusta-Victoria and we sail from New York May 20." "I suppose," Faid Mr. Lemcke, in answer to a question, "that the present incumbent, Mr. Huston, will continue in ofiice until tho expiration of President Harrison's term. I know of no other candidates for tlie office." A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT. The Xw Twn-Dollsr Note One ot the most l'rfet Krr Known. The secret servico officers declare the counterfeit two-dollar-certificate svir.ost dangerous one. The vignette of Hancock is as fine as tho original, and the lettering and lathe work is an exact copy of tho treasury note. In fact, the only difference is too minute to bo visible to the naked eye. In the upper left hand and lower right haud corner of tho genuine note is a figure 2, and cn its faco is engraved in characters so minute that they are not legible except under a magnifying glass tho word "two" repeated three times. In the counterfeit the word "two" is similarly engraved the samo number of times, but in two cases tho counterfeiter has wnade the letters rend "owt." I5ut as intimated. this mistake is not visible without the use of a Kians. The discovery of tho counterfeit is not a new thing. Attention was called to it some time go and lias been ca led to it at frequent intervals since it appeared, but the unknown counterfeiters watch the secret service bulletins closely. When a discrepancy was discovered in a note bearing tho check letter "A," and the signature of C. N. Jordan, the counterfeiters changed tho check letter to "II" and the name to that of Treasurer Hyatt. In this case, however, they left a mark whereby the counterfeit is more easily identified, for the lower half of the capital "J" in Jordon was so entwined with the border of the note that it could not be erased when the name w as blotted out. But even this lino caunot be seen unless attention h attracted to it. Altogether tho counterfeit is fully ns dangerous a represented, and tbe entire circulation of the Kenuine isue may have to be called in. Some years ago, a S") national bank note was so successfully counterfeited that the genuine notes were often refused when they should have been accepted, and finally the entire issue had to be called in. MR. BEAN'S VIEWS. He Tells "The Sentinel" Unrean Idaho Will Go Democratic In 1893. Frank M. Bean, who was register of the land otfico at Blackfoot, Idaho, during the administration of President Clevelr.nd, 13 in the city. Mr. Bean is a son of the Hon. William Bean, the veteran editor of the Goshen Democrat, and a chip of the old block. He was the candidate on the democratic ticket for state senator and would have been elected had be not been in the home of U. S. Senator Fred Dubois, whoso personal popularity carried tho district for tbe republican ticket. Mr. Bean says Clagget, the cont&stant for Senator Dubois' seat, has no claim worthy the name, and that Dubois will have no fight to make. Mr. Bean has established a lucrative law practice and is proud of the now state of Idaho. He says tho republicans there are greatly dissatisfied with the administration, and that the state will go democratic in 1802. Col. Bryer of Logansport, an old newspaper man who has held a position in the census office, was summarily dismissed a dav or so ago. He is making a fight and will no doubt get back. Also James M. Si'.er of Hendicks county, an old soldier who has always becna republican, was bounced from the same office on tho same day. No charges are alleged. They just wanted to get rid of old veterans and they did. Internntlonal Monetary Conference. AH the delegates to tbe international monetary conference were present at the meeting today except the minister from Teru and the minister from Hawaii. Threo different propositions were submitted, varying slightly in detail, all having direct reference to the object for which the conference was called; that is, to suggest an inter-American coin that shall bo of equal value in all the countries participating and incidentally to fix a coinazo ratio.

A WASHINGTON SOCIETY WEDDING.

MU Grace Faller and Mr, Arthur L,Hrown Mnrrlml. Washington-, March 30. In presence of a large and distinguished assemblage and without ostentatious display, Miss Grace Weston Fuller, the eldest daughter of Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, and Mr. Archibald Lapham Brown of Chicago were married this evening at 0 o'clock in St. John's episcopal church by the Bev. Dr. Douglass, rector of the church. There were no bridesmaids and no music of any description rave the wedding march from "Lohengrin," and the church decorations Mere confined to the altar and chancel rail. Around the altar were tropical plants with calla lilies gracefully interwoven, while twined around the chancel rail and the posts on either side of tho altar were ropes of smilax and running cedar. Miss Janie Fuller, the youngest eis.ter of the bride, acted as maid of honor to her sister and Mr. Barnum, of Chicago, an intimate friend of tho groom, was best man. Tho ushers were Mr. Colin Manning of South Carolina; Prof. Alger, of Navy; Mr. Charles Ii. Frailey, of Washington; Mr. Mendonca, of the Brazilian legation. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, preceded by the maid of honor, and at the chancel rail they were met by the groom and his best man. The absence of music made the services unusually impressive. The chief justico gave his " daughter's hand in marriage. The bride was becomingly attired in a Worth gown, having a skirt "of white satin with a long court train of the same material. In her hands was a large bouquet of lilies of the valley and maiden hair icrns. while a diamond pin held the long wedding veil in place. The lists of guests who witnessed the ceremony included Postmaster-General Wannmaker; Sir Julian and Lady Pauncefote ; Minister Guzman of Nicaragua; tne Chinese Buite; the Corcan minieters; Justices Harlan, Brown, Lamar, Bradley and Brewer; Senators Cullom and Cockrell and others well known in official and civil life. Among those from Chicago were Mr. Brown's brother and wife, his sister and some int mate triends. After the wedding a reception was held at the home of the chief justice on Massa-chusctts-ave., to which Washington society w as invited to congratulate tho young couple.' After the reception Mr. and Mrs. Brown left here for New York cn a brief tour and thence will go on a trip abroad. A SHAMELESS SCENE. nttobiirg Toughs 3lob a Chinese Funeral and Rt the (irnv. riTTsm-RO, Pa., March 20. Tho Chinamen of Pittsburg, contrary to tho general belief in regard to their burials, do not send their dead to China, but own a neat lot in Union Dale cemetery, in which they ore interred. This afternoon one- ol their number, Jeu 8eu, was buried with every rite and observance attending Chinese obsequies. Jeu Sen wa a high Mason and a long procession of Celestials followed tin remains to the grave. Hero a most disgraceful nvne ensued, brought about by about oOO cuurassions, who had trampled over graves, torn down fhrubbery and jostled the timid mourners in order to gratify their curio-sit v. The Chinese reverently placed burning joss sticks perfumed paper and pnnteg prayers beside tho grave only to have them almost snatched out of their hands by the excited mob. They alo wrapped small coins in paper and scattered them on and in the grave but boys and men snatched them up uni fought fiercely for possession of tho curious mementos. Cat calls, jeers and howls from tho vulgar crowd added to a shameless scene that Pittsburg heartily condemns, the excuse being that the riotioas crowd was only made up of tho idle, vulgar and lawless. A SENSATIONAL ARREST. Dold Attempt at Jury Jlriblnjr Exposed In i Cblcaso Court. Chicago, March 30. A bold attempt at jury bribing in a $10,000 damage case against tho Yerkes cable street railway was exposed in Judge McConneli's court today. The accused jury fixers are J. J. Hopper andM. C. Shannon, two real estate brokers. Hopper admitted his guilt but Shannon denied all knowledge ol tho crime, though admitting acquaintance with Hopper and having talked with tho latter 6ince the trial began. It appeared from Hopper's confession that after Shannon was selected a juror Hopper went to the claim agut of the etreet railway company and offered to secure a verdict in favor of the company or a disagreement for $000. The claim ng-jnt pretended to accept and had Hopper shadowed from the moment he left the company's office. The arrests were made just when the jury was retiring to consider a verdict. A peculiar pignal was said by Hopper to have been agreed upon to show that the bribe money had been paid by the defendant corporation for a corrupt verdict. If the mo-ey was on hand Hopper was to come into the court room and take a drink at the water cooler and slowly wipe off his chin.

7V IT0I7 i The Pennsylvania Coko Regions Up in Arms. Thousands of Angry Strikers Raid the Plants. First Dynamite Bomb Used by tho Men. Its Effect Very Ominous Upon tho Hungarians. Many Women Participate In tbe Wild Itlotin. riTTsnrKG, Ta., March ?X The mo6t eventful day in the coke strike, closing with the evening, was rather favorable to the men. The labor leaders say no preconcerted attack was made, but ia view of the fact that three of the principal works in the region were raided and in tho morning the operators bad decided to resume all plants, the talk of accidental raids docs not go very far. At 2 o'clock this morning tho strains of their favorite band woke all strikers on, the road from Scottdalo to Bradford and in a 6hort while l.WO men followed their path, which was directed to the Jimtown plant of the II. C. Frick company. The place was reached at 5 o'clock this morning, when the works wero captured w ithout a struggle, except tho incidental disarming of Superintendent Kesser, who.-a revolver was flourished in vain. A few were struck with stones, but this body of strikers dispersed without serious damage. Sometime later a terrible rwport in the direction of the Leisenring works pave a warning of trouble there, and thousands gathered to w itness the work of the first bomb exploded by the strikers. The shock was felt ior several miles, but ita only visible effect was the tearing of great hole in front of a non-union worker's house and throwing ol considerable dirt in tho vicinity. It is feared that such work is not over with, however, as the effect upon the unruly but thoroughly organized Hungarian strikers wa ominous. After this the workmen at LeiFenring No. 2 and 3 were chased out of tbe yards and a few only returned when the excited crowd had departed. The few men at tlie Leith works were also driven out, though nobody is reported badly injured. Trouble is also talked of at the Trotter plant, but this is denied by the operators The big Mocrewood plant of the Frick company n'Fo contributed more than its quota to tho exciting events of the day. This plant has been in partial operation and has been . carefully guarded by deputies. Some 3,000 strikers gathered about the place today, however, and 6wept the armed deputies aside as if they bad been chalT. Not a blow was struck, not a shot fired, as such a move would have been fatal to both guards fand workers in the faco of the 3,000 determined strikers. Alter the abandonment of the works by the guard an hour of mad wrecking followed. Tracks, doors and in fact every ttiing moveable was torn and w renched aside by tho maddened crowd, who only left after tho plant had been mutilated beyond immediate repair. The central board of tho federation meets in Pittsburg tomorrow, when tho etrike will be brought up for indorsement. At Uniontown tonight Judge Lving granted a preliminary injunction against all men assembling at the Frick works not employed by that company, and set Saturday for a hearing on tho permanent injunction. Sheriff McCormick. with a number of armed deputies, left Uniontown tonight on a special train to arrest the leaders in the several raid3. Probably the ugliest feature in the several raids was tho number of women participating, the most eeriously injured man being Pit Boss Cooper, who was struck again and again by an iron bar in the hands of an infuriated woman. Secret meetings are being held tonight by the strikers who will certainly prevent tha intended resumption tomorrow. A Call (or Arms. IlABF.isnrr.o, Ta., March CO.

Capt, Lohr, commanding one of the companies, figured in the correspondence. A Blood? Battle Imminent. Mt. Pleasant, Pa., March 30. Tonight ML Pleasant is trembling with excitemcnt.
