INFAMOUS PRACTICES.

More About the Traffic In Young Girls. LONDON, July 7, —The Pall Mall Gazette today prints ah addition to its article begun yesterday which have for their object the exposure of the growth of the trade in young girls for immoral purposes. The greatest sensation has been caused by tnese publications. St. Jajoes Gazette in an article today stigmatizes them as the vilest obscenity ever issued from a publio press or seen in a public print. The book stalls controlled by the firm of which the right Hon. Wm. Henry Smith, secretary of war, is the head, refuse to sell either yesterday's or today's issue of the Pall Mall Gazette on account of the indecency of these articles.- The street sales of the papers containing the story, however, have, been enormous and copies of both days editions command a premium.

The matter 'will be brought up in the House of Commons this evening when the Rt. Hon. Geo. Augustus Bentinck will ask Sir. Richard Ashton Cross, the home secretary," whether means exist by which to criminally prosecute the authors and publishers of the articles.

FIGHTING IN ANNAM.

Prospect of Serious Trouble. PARIS, July 7.—The surrender and punishment of Thuang and his confederate mandarins will be demanded of the Annamese government and the oc

•MM

cupation of Annam by the French will also be insisted upon. Heavy fighting is thought to be inevitable.

Gen. DeCourcey telegraphs under date of last evening that quiet prevails at Hue. He says: The Annamites have been rooted. Our troops respected the King's palace which is full of artistic treasures of great value. Regent Thuang is in our hands. Our loss in the fight with the Annamite garrison was 10 killed and 62 wounded. Of the latter 20 are seriously hurt. I have addressed a manifesto to the annamite people signed by Thuang and myself denouncing the Annamite ministry as guilty of an aot of odious aggression and respectfully summoning the king and the queen mother to return to the palace from which they had fled. The third zouaves are quar tered in the cotadel which is capable of holding 1,500 troops.

»f«*f TJie French In Annam. cJ PARIS, July 7.—The officials of the Naval and Military departments, are making active preparations for a severe campaign in Annam. It is considered probable that Sergent Thuang* who organized the attack on Gen DeCourcey'a command at Hue, will retire to the mountains upon the arrival at the Capitol of the French reinforcements and from there will direct the movements to harass the French.

An Attack on

the Borneo Commercial Company. .1

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.—John Russell Young, ex-United States Minister to China, arrive^ here yesterday on the steamer Oceanica from iTokohoma. In an interview he said regarding the Chinese restriction act: It merely offends Chinese pride as a government opposed to the emigration of their subjects. In diplomacy the fact that Americans had discriminated against China often has been used as a foil when America seeks any advantage in China, or when a .treaty of revisioa haH IIAPTI ?Tif»-CMai08e en^fate ?TOm Hof5r^^w! an English po|0, not from a Chinese city.

The British governor of Hong Kong could enforce the United States restriction treaty if ho Were required to do so by his government. The Chinese government have done all in their power to prevent immigration of Chinese to the United States, but there are no restrictions to their going from Hong Kong. To completely carry out the restriction act, the United States should negotiate a treaty with England by which coolies from Hong Kong would be prohibited from sailing to this country,"

Ex-Minister Young conveys to Gen. Grant expressions of sorrow and sympathy with wishes for his recovery from Li Hung Chung and the Emperor of Japan.

The steamer Oceanica brings a letter from a North Borneo government official, dated Iandakan, May 15th, which states that a sudden attack was made upon the North Borneo company's expedition to the west coast of Borneo by eight natives at Kawan, May 13th, who kUled Dr. Frazer and four East Indians, dangerously wounded the commander of the expedition, Captain De Fontaine, R. W. Little, and seven Sikhs.

The decree is to the effect that Stephen A. Douglas deeded the property on which the university is onartrtt iif the University. By the conveyance made by the trustees of the university to L. D. Boone, it violated the conditions imposed by Stephen A. Douglas in his gift of the land, and the property accordingly reverted to his heirs at law. The university and its trustees are ordered to convey the premises to the oomplainants, and in default, after ten days from the entry of the decree, H. T. Steele, a master in Chancery is ordered to make a conveyance of the property.

What a Renegade Sioux Has to Say' •*-of the Situation. ,* LKAVKWORTH, KB., July 6.—A brief interview has been obtained with Roman Nose, the renegade Sioux, who has cast his lot with the Cheyennes and has apparently devoted all his energies to making trouble. He possesses a considerable following among the Cheyen nes and has led several raids on the cattle of the companies which have leased grazing land from the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. His. complaints are chiefly against the cattle companies^ which, he asserts, have fenced in mucn of the best hunting land and forced the Indians to tramp over sterile plains in search of game. He claims that the payments made by the cattle companies' to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are not fairly divided and that the cattle tnrned over to the Indians and branded to denote their ownership are "gobbled" by the bigger chiefs to the exclusion of the lesser ones. He believes that' before long there will be a general Indian war and that the Indians might as well die fighting as to be driven about and hemmed in and starved by white men. The war, said he, will begin with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and then the Comanches, Apaches, Kevious and other tribes will join them and fight even to extermination. "Do the cowboys trouble you much?' he was asked. "Yes," he answered, "they have rifles and revolvers and whiskey, and shoot Indians when they get drunk, but Agent Dyer tells us that the Great Father at Washington wants us to give up our guns and plow and plant and raise cattle. When we do that the cowboys and other bad white men will kill us and take away our property, for we will have no way to defend ourselves and the soldiers will not help us."

WEST POINT.

Report of the Board of Visitors. WASHINGTON, July 7.—The board of visitors to. the West Point military academy have submitted their annual report to the secretary of war. The reiort states that the board found the iiscipline strict yet reasonable and well calculated to reach regularity, system and cheerful obedience to orders, because they are orders. It recommends that increased opportunities and instruction be given with a view of obtaining the highest excellence in' the use of small arms. An appropriation of 330,000 is reoommended for anew gymnasium, $5,990 for improving the Cadet laundry, $10,000 for improving the blacksmith and other shops, $12,000 if that sum will suffice, for removirg the barracks for th« cavalry detachment nearer the stables and riding hall, and $5,000 for changes in the library building $176,000 to make suitable provision for toe departments of chemistry and philosophy. The board also say that the quarters for the families of the enlisted men are very indifferent and new ones are needed. The board further recommend that the chief of engineers be made the inspector of the academy that the number of appointments "at large" be restored to ten per year.

Edwards P.O.1

The postmaster and deputy postmaster at Edwards P. O. north of the city, having quit and no appointment yet made, Postmaster Jno. F. Regan yesterday telegraphed to the department at Washington to know what to do with the Edwards mail, aud received answer for A. E. Stevenson, First Assistant P. M.

The court convened yesterday with a criminal docket of 192 cases, ail for crimes oommtted in the Tndian territory.

The Shame Which the Mahoneites Have Brought Upon Her.

RICHMOND, Va., July 7.—Mr. Wm. Royall, counsel for the English holders of Virginia bonds, returned here yesterday from London. In relation to

hiB

mission, he said that the council of foreign bondholders, as well as individual holders of bonds are to a man unalterably opposed to making any proposition of compromise to the state. If any adjustment is ever effected the move towards it will have to come from the state. The creditors have a deep feeling of resentment at the treatment, they have received. They say they have bad two settlements with thei state in each of which they greatly reduced their just claims and the only return they have received is the utter denial of their rights and such abuse as is bestowed upon pickpockets. Mf. Royall believes that if the fatal policy that has been adhered to ot war upon the bondholders .werechanged into. a paciflc .pQlicy of conciliation and friendly negotiation that some adjustment dotud be arrived at but so long as the authorities of the state maintain their present attitude of defiance dnd.pillage, the state will get deeper and d^qper into the mire. The state creditors a re determined to test to its final conclusion the question whether the institutions of the government are equal to sustaining .themstf.lTes. "It makes a Virginian hang his £'«fid in shame" said Mr. Royall, "to see bov this state is thought of in England. It is enough .to kill any measure dead in London to let the name of Virginia appear to be connected with it."

THE CAR STRIKE.

Situation of Affairs Today.

CHICAGO, July 7, 9 A. M.—Notwithstanding the riotous demonstrations late yesterday afternoon, the West division street railway company sent out^thirty-two of its cars at 7:90 o'clock this morning on the Madison, Randolph, Lake and VanBnren street lines. The cars are all guarded by from 6 to 8 policemen riding on each oar, while the streets are patrolled by a large reserve force. The early down town oars were all well patronized, ladies., and working girls constituting the bulk of the -passengers. Outwardly everything is quiet along the several street car routes crowds not being permitted to assemble. The oar driver, Wallace Chaffee^ who was assaulted by the evening, is «Mihe county hospital* in

The Times is the only paper which has expressed any decided views toward ending the present street car strike. It says this morning: "There can be no question that the blockade should be broken at once at whatever cost. The spasmodic movement of a few caw loaded with police will not accomplish this most necessary result, for it is well understood that the people will not travel on cars under such conditio^ People who'care for their own safety not teike the risk, and the number of "those willing to pay for a ride with the Nshan&e of having their heads broken of fighting their way through is excee!SlU?ly small." The Times has BO adviS^ to offer the parties in the disturbance as to the mode or terms of a settlement but it insists that thg embargo on the, trade of thiB great eflly shall be raised without further delm.

The strikers are awaiting with much interest the outcome of the conference today between their representatives, the council committee and the representatives of the West division railway company.

The eight men arrested for parucipa tion in the attack upon the street cars yesterday afternoon, were arraigned before a justice of the peace, this forenoon, and their cases continued. until the 16th in6t.

dication has been given of a ending of the street car strike, strikers this morning addressed a letter to the president of the West Division street car company stating that the strikers were willing to compromise upon abasis to be determined by three judges of the courts. In answer to this, President Jones of the railway sent' a written reply and as a result of this a deputation of the strikers went into consultation with officials of the company and it ended at noon when Mr. Jonee and the president of the conductors went to attend the meeting of a special committee of the city council arranged for last night. There was only a short session of thin committee when Mr. Jones, made a proposition to the strikers to resume work, the exact nature of which is not known. It is known, however, to be in the nature of a compromise. The nature of the proposal is to be disclosed at a secret session of the strikers tonight and an answer is to be returned to the car company at

o'clock this evening. In

the meantime President Jones agreed not to increase the number of cars running. Forty cars in all are now being operated and are being well patronized The city officials express the view that the strike is ended. Only one case of violence has been reported today. A Van Buren street car was smashed on the corner of Robay street The driver was badly beaten. The conductor ran away. No arrests were made. This is about the same place the trouble occurred yesterday. Four of the oars now running are being driven by Cook county deputy sheriffs wearing their badges and having clubs.

We all say that we feel the necessity in the spring of toning .up our system, and no better tonic than Ifichol's Bark and Iron can be found. The medical profession have prescribed it for more than twenty-five years. .::

2 CROP PROSPECTS.

Wheat Largely a Failure—Oats a Success. NEW YOBK, July 7.—From careful analysis of over 3,500 special crop reports from its subscribers, practical farmers in every state and territory in the Union, tbe Rural New .Yorker concludes that the winter wheat crop will aggregate 210,000,000 bushels and the spring wheat crop 155,000,000 bushels, makiog an aggregate crop of 365,000,000 bushel.*, a falling off of 147,000,000 bushels from last year's crops. Oats will be the largest crop ever harvested. Rye and Barley, fair crops. Corn area larger than ever before and outlook good for an average yield per acre. There will be an average crop of potatoes and a considerable increase in the acreage of tobacco. The cotton prospects are highly promising despite the injury from insectis in Texas and other places. Apples, there will be a fair crop for an "off year many trees are dying, especially in the west. Peaches area failure in northern latitudes and there is but a poor outlook for pears. There will be fair crops in New Jersey, Delaware end Maryland.

One Third of Wisconsin's Crop Burned in the Warehouses at Stoughtom

MADISON, Wis., July A—At Straughton yesterday ten out of thirteen large tobaoco warehouses were burned, in-' cluding the St. Paul depot and 20 freightears loaded with wheal, causing a loss a|l tile way from half a million to" a million dollars. It was the most disastrous fire that ever occurred in this section of the state. The fire originated in an old hay press now used as a box factory. The tobaoco warehouses were owned by New York and Philadelphia tobacco houses. The fire caused great excitement. The general opinion is that it was

Btarted

by some Fourth of

July patriot, who was careless in the use of fireworks.

A $3,500 FIRE.

Mr. Wm. Sparks' Residence South off the City Burned to Ashes.

Yesterday evening abotit 8 o'clock, Mr. Bledboe of Honey Creek township rode rip to Mr. Wm. Sparks' residence

Cheifry street and informed the family that their residence in Honey Creek township, about seven miles south of the city, was being consumed by fire. The house was vacant, Mr. Sparks hav-, ing moved to the city about two years ago whore he has sincd lived on Cherry street. Tho house was occupied b^ a family until this spring, and .after they moved out Mr. Sparks could find no tenant and the house has been vacant ever since. It was a large eleven room, two story house and faced toward the west The fire originated in the rear -of the building which btuaed like straw

vapd

in a short

stored some of THrr S'P&l,l

I nousehold goods, apart of which in the front part of the house was saved by neighbors tbe remainder was consumed with the house. The origin of the 'fire is a mystery but it was probably the work of some malicious person. How else could a vacant house catch fire?

The total loss is about $3,500. The house was worth over $3,000 and the remainder is for the- gopds. It was insured for $2,00fr by Mr. B. F. Havens but it is a queetion whether Mr. Sparks can realize any thfng or not as tbe house was vacant. At about 3 O'clock that.. afternoon Mr. Sparks passed by the house on his way to the residence of Mr. N. Ke6ter several miles south of Mr. Sparks house, and found the doors locked. The doors were broken in by the neighbors to get o-it the goods.
