M .k. .1,1ft Caixjitta, July :t. A compromise on the plague measures having leeu arranged betweeu the authorities and the rioters the disturbances have Ceased. The absence of rain is causing the greatest anxiety throughout India. The rioting arose out of the growing practice of the Mohammedans of seiing and reftsttttg to pay rent for certain so-called moviues. built, contrary to the tenets of the Mohauiinedan religion, on ground beloniring to infidels. The demolition of a mud hut. a sicalled ni-sque. led to the outbreak. The rioters were con t inually reinforced in response to telegrams sent up tins country, in which they eppemied to all true Mohammedans to aid their coreligious brethren. 1 or 4s hours the police and military were repeated lv obliged to ch ar the streets. Detached parties of Mohammedans stoned BeropeeU wherever they found them, in some eases dragging them from their glumes. All telegraphic lines were cut and

the buildings containing Kuropcans were boicged. There were many narrow escapes. The rioters shouted war cries and vile epithets and grossly iusuited European woman. In several parts .,f alcutta it is still ! dangerous for Kuropcans to go about, and it is likely to remain SP oaring to the nature of the compromise by w liich the riot was brought to an end. The trouble is greatly iucrcased by the absence of the higher officials, moat of whom are now in t lu- hills. I I hose w ho remained behind hesitated to underta lo; the responsibility of extreme measures. The result w as that the troops were not allowed to tire or

I to take the offensive, even when exposed to every kind of indignity and insult. The.r behavior and self-ro-j strtiut under the circumstances were admirable. It is understood that the oompro miss is based upon the unconditional sur

render or the lands, but it is believed that this concession w ill prove astan ling menace to the safety of Kuropcans, as the rioters w ill celebrate the victory tbreegboet all India.

NlW Yollh, July II. Passengers who arriv-d here last night on tlie steamship Alliiiiica tell a harrowing story of their experience aboard the Pacific mail steamer City of Para, which left Panama for San Francisco May 2d lasL It seems that two days after leaving

the isthmus yellow fever broke out among the crew and passengers oil the Paciiic liner, which caused it panic on board and resulted in the death of tin- commander of the ves-cl.Capt. Murtcnsen. Three-fourths of the passengers, it is said, were attacked by the disease, and at least a do.eu of them found watery graves. Winn the vessel finally reached Sau 1 'Ul. cisco the facts of the terrible voyage were suppressed, and the sickness and deat lis w ere at t ribiilcd to tropical dysentery. Put the pammgon who came here last night say that the symptoms wen- plainly those of yellow (ever. The disease was raging ou the isthmus, but when the passengers went ou I board the City of Para they were all told by the otliccrs that they need have no fear. There was no effort at f..migation, and when Mrs. (apt. .Mitchell, the wife of an Bngliehiaen command- j ing one of the vessels of the Chilian j Lint, appeared on the City of Parti j heavily veiled there w as no uneasiness. Three days out she died from the socalled "tropical dysentery.'" she was buried at sea, and the next to be takeu '

down was apt. Martensen. before he died the fever had spread 'all over tlie ship. In first cabin and

steerage alike the yellow tlcoth dealer ! went, an. I how many were prostrated will probably never be known. The oSoers sappreeaed every ento of news they etrald aad Dr. lieu, uaaisted on his original diagnosis. At Punta Arenas, the Kdu vcria fain- I UjT, one of the richest iu Costa Pica, took passage on tlie City of Para, not knowing that Yellow .lack was raging j on board. The vessel proceeded ou Its voyage up the coast. There were two or three funerals a day and those w ho I were not affected were panic stricken.

After much pleading a number of passengers were put ashore at orinta and San .lose tie (iuatamala. It it alleged that the officers of the vessel supplied the passengers with spoiled meat, and this is believed to have added tO the yellow fever spread. At Sun Salvador a band came aboard, and while the passengers were .sick and dying the musicians gave five-bout concerts daily.

Scoff and Cough. Tho mnn who scoffs at the friendly advice, to "take something for that cough," will keep on coughing until he changes his mind or changes his earthly residence. A great many scoffers have been converted by the use of the standard cough remedy of tho past half century, Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral. But some are scoffing and coughing yet. They wheeze with asthma, bark with bronchitis or groan with tho grippe. Singular, isn't it, the number of stubborn people, who persist in gambling, with health and perhaps life as the strike, when they might be effectually cured of cough, oold or lung trouble, by a few doses of Ayer s Cherry Pectoral.
