Later advices from there report that "the bodies of fifteen Chinamen have been dis­ covered, and as many more are supposed to be concealed beneath the ruins of their burned cabins. The snr- •iving Chinamen, many of whom were wounded, are yet in the hills, without food, and afraid to venture out.

During the month of August just ended there was paid out from the different sub-treasuries $1,667,444 in standard silver dollars and $1,495,902 in fractional silver coin, which amounts were largely in excess of the issue of silver during the correspond­ ing monih of Inst year. Mr. Jordan says the withdrawal of $1 and $2 notes from circulation was made necessary by the rapid accumulation of silver in the sub- treasuries. It was expected in this way to create a demand for silver coin, lhat the plan was successful is Bhown by the output of silver during the past month. So far no formal complaints or protests against the withdrawal of one and two dollar notes have been made. Applications have, however, been received for large quantities of small notes. In each case answer has simply been made that the issue of these notes has been sus­ pended for the present. Treasury officials express themselves as much encouraged by the present state of the fiuances, and pre­ dict/an improvement in the general busi­ ness of the country.

THE business failures in the United States and Can&da during the past week numbered 18(>, against 196 for the corre­ sponding week of 1884.

'lhe >r: eate*t activity is mainly c< ntined to print cloths, bleached cot­ tons. wool, and boots and shoe*, but the feature of the week is found in the improve­ ment noted in K«stern iron markets. The inquiry for pis-iron has increased, and one sale at New York is noted of 7,0()o tons of forge at $15, for which fu.5u had been offered. While none in th>j trade admits the likelihood of a boom, all appear satisfied that there is a better business in siicht. Dealers in Scotch pig have advanced prices 50 cents per ton, and orOers have been cabled in some instances for ship­ ment to this port. Steel rails for moderate- sized lots may be had at $2* and $24.50, while smaller quantitles command $><.). No large orders extending in delivery beyond Jan. 1 will be taken at these figures. These are very en­ couraging features. Scotch pig at Glasgow, is ti pence and 1 shilling higher, with some specu­ lative buying. The movement of wool at all 4teaboard markets has been liberal. Prices are tirm and gradually advancing. The six weeks' gain is sustained, aut production Is in ex­ cess of that at the like period last vear. The movement of dry goods from agents and job­ bers' hands at the East has been free, and pre­ vious advances are fully sustained. August sales of dry goods at Boston are heavier than those in that month of 1SS4. The movement of general merchandise, affected as it is in the lines noted, is regarded as seasonably active. THE Waterways Convention at St. Paul, on Thursday, the 3d instant, was largely attended. Governor Hubbard, of Minne­ sota, called the body to order, and, after explaining the object of the gathering, warmly welcomed the delegites Ex-Gov. Bross, of Chicago, .was made temporary Chairman. After the various commit­ tees had been announced a long discussion arose on the question of representation, the call of Governor Hub­ bard being finally fixed upon as the basis. William Warner, of Kansas City, and Piatt B. Walker, of Minnesota, were elected per­ manent President and Secretary, and after an address by Governor Bross on the ne­ cessity of improving the rivers of the West and Northwest, the convention adjourned for the day. On Friday, the 4th, the open­ ing address was made by Mr. Chase, of Oinaha, who asserted that there was no hos­ tility intended toward the railways. The Hon. Ignatius Donnelly and Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, followed, the latter gentleman eliciting applause by the remark that all sections should Btand together to secure the betterment of the waterways. Congressman Hatch, of the First Mis­ souri District, assailed the Hennepin Canal scheme, but fitting replies were made by Mr. Murphy, of Iowa, and ex- Governor Bross and Colonel Clark E. Carr, of Illinois. At the nf.ernoou session resolutions were reported calling for a:i an­ nual appropriation of $25,000,000 for the improvement of the rivers and harbors of the countiy. The special claims of the Mis­ sissippi, between St. Anthony's Falls and Cairo, were set forth; then followed the Missouri and its tributaries, after which the needs of the Hennepin Canal were fully stated. Next iu order of ment on were the Sault Ste. Marie Canal. Red River of the North, the Yellowstone, Fox and Wis­ consin, and the Chippewa and St. Croix, the resolutions closing with a plea for the extension of the lighthouse and snag- boat system on the Mississippi. After the enthusiastic adoption of the foregoing, John T. Altgeld, of Illinois, offered a reso­ lution setting forth the injustice of the country west of the Alleghenies only receiving one-third of the river and harbor appropriation when it possessed more than h tlf of the shipping and fur­ nished three-fourths of the funds expend­ ed in public improvements. Judge Frye, of New York, addressed the gathering in favor of the Floiida Ship Canal, and after the adoption of a. memorial to Congress, in­ voking speedy action on the suggestions of­ fered, the convention adjourned sine die.

He Is Shot aad Killed bj ^ 1 Ileal Regarding: Bog^f % Money. ^ - la [New York special.] Thomas Davis, a notorious sporttir^-Wpin und swindler, was killed to-day in his trick establishment on the third floor of No. 113 Beade street, this city, by James T. Ho - land. a Texan, who had paid him $503 for what he supposed was $10,000 in counter­ feit money, and who discovered at the mo­ ment the transaction was consummit^d that he was cheated. As a swindler- he is known in the rogues' vernacular as a "boodle" man, a "faker," a "sawdust" operator, and a first-class "skin." His transaction with Holland was in the "boodle" line, in which the victim believes that he has received genuine or counterfeit money, and discovers too late that bundles of paper, lead pipe wrapped up so as to resemble rolls of coin, or brick9 care­ fully packed in paper, have been substitu­ ted. Davis had ubout half a dozen offices in this city fitted up in various ways for swindling the unwary. James T. Holland is a real-estate dealer in Abilene, Taylor County, Tex. One of Davis' circulars or advertisements of counterfeit money had come to the notice of Holland,,, and he had come to New York with John T. Hill, or John P. Johnson, City Marshal of Colo­ rado, Mitchell County, Tex. Each is tall, spare, keen-eyed, and active. The two men from Texas eame here last Wednesday and immediately opened negotiations with Davis. It was finally agreed that he should sell $10,000 worth of "green goods" to Holland for $300. On a letter from one of them Davis met them at the Merchants' Hotel at noon yesterday, and from there Holland went to Davis' room. Everything was ready. Davis said, and Holland said he had his "end" of the transaction--meaning the money to pay for the expected counterfeits--in order. Davis had provided $10,000 in genuine money to show. His confederate in the plot was his brother Theodore, who glued h's eye to a knot-hole in the partition and listened eagerly to what was said. Holland count­ ed out his money which Tom pock­ eted and then Tom produced tha supposed counterfeits, in reality the genu­ ine money, and the bills were counted into a black satchel wh'ch was on the desk near the aperture into the confederate's room. When the count had been made the satchel was closed, and Davis attempted to distract the Texan's attention. Theodore, through the aperture, took the genuine money from the satchel and had just pushed it, with three bundles of blank paper substituted for the bills, throngh the dummy back, when Holland, despite Davis' efforts, saw it move, and instantly became suspicious. Opening the satchel, he detected the sub­ stitution, drew a revolver on Davis, and de­ manded his money. Tom exclaimed: "You wouldn't shoot me? I am unarmed," and lifted the skirts of his coat to show that he had no pistol. Holland at once fired, the bullet striking Davis in the left shoulder and passing downward and through the body. Davis fell to the floor and did not speak or move afterward. Theodore immediately sprang to the door with the $10,000 in his posses­ sion, and went down stairs to put the money in a place of safety, which he would not afterward reveal. As he went along the corridor Holland fired two more shots --one went through the desk and dummy partition, and the other could not be traced. Holland went down stairs into the street, and, as he started to walk away, Theodore, who was waiting for him, pointed him out to a policeman, and said: "Arrest hi*" He has just shot a man." Holland appeared cool and unconcerned, and admitted that he had shot Davis be­ cause the dead man and Theodore had tried to rob him. Holland was taken back to Davis' room by the policemen and sub­ sequently was locked up in the police sta­ tion. Theodore was detained as a wit­ ness. Hill, or Johnston, was arrested at the Merchants' Hotel. About $1,500 in bills was found on his person. He was locked up to await developments. THE LOWING HERDS, They Are Being Moved bj the Thou­ sands Oat of Indian Ter­ ritory. [Washington special.] All the official information received at Washington indicates that the cattlemen have done all in their power to get out of the Indiaia Territory during the forty days ending Sept. 1. Unofficial advices intimate that the larger lease-holders have not pur­ sued this course, but have, en the contrary, prepared to stubbornly resist the enforce­ ment of the President's proclamation. The latter statements are not credited. It is thought at the Interior and War Depart­ ments that the cattlemen are fully aware of the determination and ability of the Gov­ ernment to execute its orders. Whatever contest may be made in tho courts they say will have to follow the evacuation. No legal proceedings will stay the troops ii called upon to eject the herds and their at­ tendants. C'ol. Lee has not informed the War Department of any necessity for mili­ tary interference, but Geu. Miles has fully prepared to render whatever aid is required. The fence question cannot reach so prompt a solution. The cases of obstruc­ tions are now being individually investigat­ ed and reported upon and the offenders no. tified. The next step will probably be an Executive order directing the military au­ thorities to net under the direction of the Interior Department in removing whatever fences the latter department-may designate. It is not the intention of tho Secretary of the Interior to issue any general order in regard to the removal of fences from the public lands, but it has been determined to deal with cjses of violation of the law specifically. It is believed better 10- sults will be thus obtained than from the general order, which would be looked upon as a proclamation binding upon no one in particular. The special agents of the Land Office are under in­ structions to report to the department all cases of illegal fencing, and instructions looking to the removal of the fences are promptly furnished for their guidance in each case. Where an agent is able to effect the removal ho is directed to do so, and wh°n necessary the United States Marshals can be called upon through the Attorney General. A VICTIM OF BUNKO. An Philadelphian Beaten dj|i of $9,600 at Atlantic Oity, H, J,( fcy Sharper. m 8TAOE ROBBEBS. [Atlantic City (N. J.) special. K - Charles Field, Sr.; who is over 85 ^eftrs of age, and who has been in business in Philadelphia for over fifty years, was vic­ timized out of $9,500 by a brace of bunko men in Atlantic City. Mr. Field has spent much of his time here during August, andi is a familiar figure. In the afternoon he; took a stroll after dinner, and met a young man of good addresB, who, / after a courteous hand-shaking, stated that he was an old friend of the Philadelphiun, alleg­ ing that he had been a clerk in the Penn National Bank, and since his resignation had been abroad. He had brought several fine pictures from Europe, which he would be pleased to have Mr. Field inspect Mr. Field, having nothing else to do. went with.the young man, who entertained him with stories of the sights he saw across the water. They were kindly received by a stout woman, and were ushered into the office--the art emporium, as his friend called it. Here he was introduced to a game played on a board with numbers on it, and with a spinning arrow, presumably a sweat-board. Two other gentlemen were introduced, and they played the little gamo, each winning over $100. Mr. Field was invited to join them, and he lost over $100, but continued to play. During the progress of the game the young men kept Mr. Field interested by talking over the affairs of the bank and its earnings and investments. After playing some time the bunko men coolly asked the old gentleman for his check for $9,500, drawn to himself; as the collat­ eral for a grand prize he had drawn on the sweat-board. Thinking that the bunke man was really an old friend he told him to fill _ out the check and he would sign it, which l>e did. The check was on the Penn­ sylvania National Bank, where Mr. Field has been a depositor for over fifty years. On leaving Mr. Field the buuko steerer took the first train for Philadelphia, pre­ sented the check at the bank, aucl, after be­ ing identified, received the money.

New Orleans correspondence: A mis­ taken notion prevails that the great Ex­ position is simply a reopening or contin­ uation of the Cotton Centennial Exposition of last year. The only thing it has in com­ mon with that Exposition is that it will be in the same buildings. One of its leading objects is to secure closer relations between the three Ameri­ cas. For the first time in the history of the new world tha representative men from Minnesota to Chili will come together to get acquainted, to inspect and study the nat­ ural resources and the products of human labor and ingenuity gathered together for that purpose from the whole hemisphere. The present annual imports of Mexico, Central America, and South America are valued at five hundred millions of dollars, and their exports have about the same •alue. The United States take only 35 per cent, of these exports, and furnish only 16 per cent, of the imports. It is be­ lieved that these imports could easily be doubled, and every business man sees the necessity for an earnest effort to deflect the greater portion of this vast and increasing trade to our ports. The new Exposition will be the most important agency in pro­ ducing this result. The annual value of our manufactures is now six thousand millions of dollars, and we export only *2 per cent, of this vast product. Mexico, Central America, and South Amerioa are naturally our mar­ kets. At the new Exposition the nat­ ural as well as the manufactured prod­ ucts of this hemisphere will be displayed in such variety and profusion as will strongly attract the attention of the world. Each State of our country will present a rich exhibit of its resources and ad­ vantages. Visitors from Europe, as well as from American countries, will gladly avail themselves of this opportunity of see- in&r and studying the wonderful collections gathered at New Orleans. These collec­ tions will not only exhibit the resources of American countries, but will show, as they have never been" shown before, the marvel­ ous possibilities of the new world. Dur­ ing the coming fifty years human activity must conter largely in these countries, and they have already become the study of the profoundest thinkers and political econ­ omists of the age. The new Exposition, which will open November 10, 1885, and close March 31, 1886, furnishes the oppor­ tunity for that acquaintance between Ameri­ can countries which caw only resnlt in great advantages to all. THE DEMENTED TRAGEDIAN. t Thejr Capture the Treasure-Box, but Are. In Turn Captured. I Helena (Montana1 special.] Yesterday the Marysville coach was stop­ ped by'two highwaymen about eight miles out of Hel 'na, and the treasure-box, con­ taining about $12,000 in bullion from the Drumlummon Mine, taken. The pussen- gers were-relieved of their valuables. One of the robbers had given the plot away to Officers, and when the treasure-box was being broken open the Sheriff and a posse captured the robbers aud recovered the booty. Passengers were made to stand in line at the muzzle of a gun held by one of the highwaymen while the other went through them in the old-fashioned man­ ner. The prisoners are named Jackson and Gordon. Gordon will be r.-leased and get the reward of $600. Jackson served seven years in the California penitentiary for 6tage-robbing. He claimed that Gordon had worked the same scheme before, giv­ ing away plots for robbery and getting re­ wards. NOAH WEBSTER mastered twelve lan­ guages after he was 50 years old. Poor John McCullough Listlessly Awaiting the Coming of His Fate. [New York special.] Beports have recently multiplied to the effect that John McCullough was rapidly Binking iu his home in the Bloomingdale asylum, and that his death was but a ques­ tion of a few months. Dr. Nichols, the medical superintendent of the asylum, was questioned yesterday ns to the truth of tnese reports.. "They are about correct," said the Doctor. "Ak nearly so, at all events, as laymen can make reports that should be techuicaL Mr. McCullough is generally paralyzed and quite weak. He will walk a quarter of a mile or so at a time with an attendant at hand, but he moves about like an old man, sit­ ting down and getting up with a good deal of difficulty. Mr. McCul- iough's physical condition is not greatly changed since he came here. He will not live yea s, he may not live many months. He is much quieter and happier than when " e first came, and seems quite contented to e here. He looks back sometimes on his stao;e life and recalls the coming on of his disease with much fe'ling. His case is, ol course, hopeless, and I never held out to his friends the slightest hope of his re­ covery. " Mr. McCullough is very regular in his habits at Bloomingdale, but follows no cast-iron routine in disposing of his time. The patients are expected to rise at a cer­ tain hour and take their mealr, at specified times. These rules arc not rigid, however, and are relaxed when nec ssary. So far as his physical powers will allow, Mr. Mc­ Cullough endeavors to follow them, rising and taking his meals with the other pa­ tients. He passes his time otherwise as he chtooses. REBEL RIEL'S FRIENDS. They Wan^tae United State* Government txr Interfere In His Behalf. [Rochester (N. Y.) dispatch.! A largely attended and enthusiastic meet­ ing of the French-Canadians of this city was held this afternoon in behalf of Riel, the condemned Canadian rebel. Addresses were made by prominent Frenchmen of this city, and a petition addressed to Sec­ retary Bayard asking for the interposition of tha United States Government was unanimously adopted. Ihe petitiou, which is signed by all the French residents, slates that Kiel is a resident of the United States, and that his trial was not a fair one.

[Kansas City dispatch.} A hold train-robberv occurred oh the Chicago and Alton Railroad to-nighi, but owing to the sudden flight of the robbers but little booty was secured. As the West­ bound train on the way to the city left Blue, Springs, twenty miles from here, about 9 o'clock to-night, four masked men appeared at the smoking-car aud were about to board it. A number of men, however, were standing on the platform, and the robbers passed to the next car iu line, the day-car. Three of them climbed upon the forward platform and the fourth got on at the rear. A man then mounted guard at each end of the car, while the other two entered, and, with drawn revolv­ ers, commanded the passengers to give up their money. A number of them handed out small amounts of change, while one man, in his excitement, passed out his purse, containing $23. The rob­ bers took whatever was offered without searching the passengers, and made no at­ tempt to rob them of jeweliy. When the pair had reached the middle of the car they became suddenly alarmed, and, pull­ ing the bell-rope, the four robbers sprang off when the train slackened speed, and disappeared in the darkness, l'he train passed on, and the conductor. James Boggs, reported the affair to the officials of the road from the next telegraph station. The train then proceeded on its way to this city. The passengers on the other cars knew nothing of this matter until it was all over. Then there was excitement among the timid, aud many hastened to secrete their valuables and prepare for a return of the Putm debt form): ; .interest bearing del)#-- s Bonds at 4V6 per cent "J Bonds at 4 per cent ' Bonds at 3 per cent.

The passengers of the car that was robbed had scarcely time to realize what had oc­ curred before the robbers had disappeared. Tho booty secured amounted to about $30 in money, nothing else being taken. The robbers are described as appearing awkward and nervous, and evidently un­ used to such work. They were roughlv dressed and looked like farm-hands. Each wore a black mask. J, H. Andrews, a business man of this city, who wns on the platform of the smoker, relates that when the men ap­ proached tha car he thought they were tramps. They boarded the second car as the train was pulling out from the station, and a moment after he started for the rear of the train. At the rear door of the smoker he was met by the guard, who pointed a re­ volver and called upon him to stand still. Ho obeyed, and from the doorway watched tho proceedings in the other car. The whole transaction, he thought, did not oc­ cupy over five minutes before the robbers commanded a bifekeman to pall the bell- rope and stop the train. Blue Springs is a small station in a thickly wooded district, situated near Glen- dale and Blue Cut, the scenes of former robberies in the days of the James gang. The train, which was due here at 9:30 p. m., was nearly an hour late, and on its ar­ rival preparations were made to send a spe­ cial train from here with a posse to search for the miscreants. Every effort will be made to apprehend them. The robbers started northward from the railroad, and a posse from the town was soon in pursuit. The men were Been about the station before the traia arrived. One was dressed in a brown coat, black pantaloons, and hat, and had black hair and mustache. His weight is about 150 pounds. The other men were not notioed closely enough for a description to be ob­ tained. TOOK TO THE HILLS. White Miners Compel Chinamen to Fly from Rock Springs, Wyoming. Seven of the Fugitives Killed and Their Houses Burned--Others Wounded. [Rawlins (Wyoming) special) The largest coal mines in the entire Union Pacific system are at Bock Springs, 120 miles west of Rawlins. The road has re­ cently been importing large numbers of Chinese to fill the places of white men. This afternoon the entire force of white miners, numbering abont 150 strong, or­ ganized, and, armed with shot-guns, marched to that portiou of the town occu­ pied by the Celestials, and after firing a volley into the air, reloaded and ordered the "pig-tails" to leave. The order was obeyed at once, the Chinamen fleeing to the hills like a drove of sheep, closely pur­ sued by the miners. Several volleys were fired at the fugitives with fatal effect The Chinese quarters were then set on fire, and thirty-nine houses owned by the company were destroyed with their contents. The miners next visited the various mines in the camp, unearthed all the Chinamen at work therein, and bade them flee for their lives. They flew. Of some four hundred Chinamen who made Rock Springs their home this morn­ ing, not oae remains. All are in the hills heading for Green River, thirteen miles further west. Seven were killed outright by the shots fired by miners, aud many are wounded. It is said also that several feeble and helpless from disease perished in the flames at Chinatown. Sheriff Young arrived at the scene fiom Green River by a special train this evening with a posse of deputies, but too late to prevent the mob from carrying out its plans. The miners quietly dispersed after making sure of the departure of the Celestia's. and all is quiet. The Union Pacific officials appealed to Gov. Warren for protection, and Asst. Gen. Supt. Dickinson and Supt Wurtele are en route for the scene of trouble by a special train. Both of these men are popu­ lar with the miners, and will probably be able to quell any disturbance likely to arise now. The Chinese have now been run out of Rawlins, Carbon, Laramie, and ottoi points in Wyoming. OBSCENE LITERATURE. Decision of m United Staten Judge as to tba l!»« of the Mails. [Providence (It. 1.) dispatch.] « In the United States District Oourt to­ day a preliminary hearing was had on the complaint of Postmaster Gardner against Albert E. Bosworth, Treasurer of the Staf­ ford Mills, F.ill River, for sending an ob­ scene letter through the mails addressed to a lady of eminent respectability residing in tlii-i city. The Court, after quoting several decisions, discharged the prisoner on the ground that the mailing of a private letter of the character named was not an offense provided against by the United States stat­ utes against the mailing of certain classes of matter. The letter was particularly vile, and the prisoner admitted hiB guilt when arrested. The Court's opinion was bised on the fact that the law was speciic, indi­ cating several carefully described classes of matter, and must be construed strictly.

A Wonderful Surgical Operation In Wop V ork. [New York special.] A remarkable operation was performed *! the Charity Hospital in this city to-day. Mrs. Ann Curry, who is fifty years of age, has suffered for two years with malignant cancer of the abdomen. She was induced to enter the Charity Hospital recently, where she was visited by Dr. Thomas H. Allen. When told that an operation from the effects of which no patient has ever re­ covered--and only three left the operating- table alive--was her only chance of life, Mrs. Curry announced her willingness to take the risk rather than live longer in such misery. The operation was performed this afternoon, in the presence of s several well-known New York sur­ geon^. The patient was placed un­ der the influence of ether, and Dr. Allen made a long, straight incision into the abdomen, from the pit of the stomach downward, and the assistants tied the arte­ ries. A spray atomizer was used to sprinkle an antiseptic fluid upon the wound. Dr. Allen removed the abdominal organs, while his assistants tied one artery after another. It was discovered thpt the bladder and several surrounding organs had been at­ tacked by the germs of the disease, and these bad to be scrapcd until all the traoes of cancer were gone. The work was fin­ ished in a few minutes, and the opening in tho stomach was drawn together and sewed up with a fine silver wire. Theso stitches were afterward supplemented with others of catgut The cancer weighed nearly twelve ounces. Mrs. Curry was taken to her room in safety, and all danger of a pri­ mary shock was removed. Dr. Allen said that it was hardly poBBible for the patient to recover, but he had great hopes that tho operation would prove successful. THE OFFICES.

[New York special.] Mrs. Grant visited her, husband's tomb for the first time this afternoon. She rode up to Riverside Park in a carriage with her son, Col. Fred Grant, at 12:30 o'clock. They alighted some distance from the knoll, and Mrs. Grant walked to the tomb entrance with her face heavily veiled. She leaned on Col. Grant's arm, and gazed a few minutes into the interior of the tomb through the bars of the locked iron gate. She appeared to be deeply moved, and Col. Grant, observing her emotion, led her back to the carriage, and then rode quietly away. Thtf visit was made so quietly that Capt. Fessenden, of the military camp, knew nothing of it until after the widow and her son had left. A few gentlemen in the throng of visitors to the tomb recognized Mrs. Grant, and stood with uncovered heads while she lingered at the gate. Two LITTLE boys at Montgomery, Ala., watched their father kill and dress a pig for a barbecue, and the next day showed how closely they had observed the process by butchering their baby brother in tho same manner.
