LINDSAY WHINED FOR MERCY.
Lynchers Spare the Tennessee Rnftian'i!
Life—He Will Turn State's Evidence.
; COAL CHEEK, Aug. 23.— Bud Liudsay, the
notorious desperado, murderer and outlaw,
and one of the loaders of the outlawed
i miners, narrowly escaped lynching. He was
; confined in an old mine for several days
: tinder a heavy guard, but several citizen*
managed to stealthily seize, silence and
hurry him through the pickets. He was
taken to Bricevillo,where a rope was placed
around his neck.
Although reported to bo a most desperate
man, his courago forsook him at this trying
moment, and he broke down and pleaded in j
abject fear for his life, offering to turn
state's evidence and reveul the names and
plans of all the leaders, tell how the mob
was ruised, the nature of the oath, the
miners who were known to huve killed
soldiers or guards; in short, to reveal to the
civil authorities all of the lawlessness that
has reigned, and this ho has agreed to tes
tify to in court.
When all this was promised the rope was
taken from his neck and he wus returned
to tho camp for safekeeping. It is now be
lioved that with his testimony twenty or
thirty leuders can be successfully tried for
murder and covicted. Lindsay is now under
a guard.

Asiatic cholorn, and that Hamburg has been

port.
Consul Oscar F. Williams, at Havre, re
ports an epidemic of Asiatic cholera at that
place, with inanv deaths, and advises an
inspection of tho fast liner La Touraine,

have been communicated to the health
officers of Staten Island, and every pro
caution will be taken by them in the
matter, especially in view of the fact that
the epidemic has now reached two of the '
most important ports in Europe with
which the United States has direct com
munication—Hamburg and Havre. The I
latest news here expresses a doubt whether
the cholera has not also reached Antwerp.
The great importance of this information,
in view of tflb" great amount of travel be

munication to the supervising surgeon gen
eral of the marine hospital service for
prompt precautionary action.

geon Austin, of tho marine hospital service,
at once had a conference looking to the best
methods to be employed to prevent the in
troduction of cholera into this country. It

New York and Baltimore of the condition
of affairs, and also to notify the immigrant
inspectors. Secretary Spaulding is in com
munication with the ngents of the steam
ship lines, with a view to having immi
grants' effects thoroughly disinfected on the
other side of the water. Steamers coming
direct from Hamburg arrive at the follow
ing American ports: New York, Boston

CANADA WILL SUFFER
PRESIDENT HARRISON REFUSES HER
CANAL ULTIMATUM.
And INIUOR a Proclamation Partially Sus
pending Free Navigation of St. Mary's
Falls Canal and lin posing a Toll of 2(1
Cents a Ton on Canadian Freight.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—8y authority of
President Harrison the state department
has made public tho important action
taken by the president under the Canadian
retaliation act of last session in partially
suspending by proclamation the free navi
gation of the St. Mary's Falls canal and im
posing a toll of twenty cents a ton upon all
freight passing through that canal from
Canadian ports. The president's proclama
tion, though constructively executed in
Washington city, was signed at Loon Lake
and forwarded here for promulgation.
Accompanying the proclamation is the
correspondence on the subject which passod
between the state department and Mr.
Herbert, of the British legation. The cor
respondence shows that the president re
fused to accept the Canadian offer to abol
ish the rebate tolls at the end of the season
and wanted them abolished at once. Tho
proclamation recites tho provisions of tho
act of congress passed July 20 last, en
titled "An Act to Enforce Reciprocal Com
mercial Relations Between the United
States and Canada and for Other Pur
poses," and continues as follows:
The Proclamation.
Whereas, The government of tho Dominion of
Canada imposes a toll amounting to nbout
twenty cents per ton on freight passing through
the Wellaud canal, and also a further toll on
all vessels of the United States and on all pas
sengers in transit to a port of the United
States, all of which tolls are without rebate;
and
Whereas, The government of tho Dominion
of Canada, in accordance with an order in
council of April 4, 1892, refunds eighteen cents
per ton or the twenty cent toll at the Woliand
canal on wheat, Indiun corn, peas, barley, rye,
oats, flaxseed and buckwheat, upon condition
that they are originally shipped for and carriod
to Montreal or some port east of Montreal for
export, and that, if transshipped at an inter
mediate point, such transshipment is made
within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no
such nor any other rebate on said products
when shipped to a port of tho United Statos,
or when carried to Montreal for export, if
transshipped within the United Statos; and
Whereas, The government of the Dominion
of Canada, by said system of rebate and other
wise, discriminates against the citizens of the
United States in tho use of said Woliand canal
in violation of tho provisions of Article 27 of
the treaty of Washington, concluded May 8,
1871; and,
Whereas, Said Woliand canal is connected
with the navigation of the great lakes, and 1
am satisfied that the passage through it of car
goes in transit to ports of the Un ted States is
madb difficult and burdensome by suid dis
criminating system of rebate and otherwise,
and is reciprocally unjust and unreasonable;
Now, therefore, 1, Benjamin Harrison, presl
dent of the United States of America, by virtue
of the power to that end conferred upon me by
said act of congress approved July 2(1, 1802, do
hereby direct that from and after Sept. 1, 1892,
until further notice, a toll of twenty cents per
ton be levied, collected and paid on all frolght
of whatever kind or description passing
through the St. Mary's Falls canal in transit
to any port of the Dominion of Canada,
whether carried in vessels of tho United States
or of other nations; and to that extent I do
hereby suspend from and after suid date the
right of free passage through said St. Mary's
Falls canal of any und all cargoes or portions
of cargoes in transit to Canadian ports.
Canada Must Give In.
Included in the aftorniath of the procla*
mation is a statement that this course has
been under careful advisement since before
the adjournment of congress. After the act
of July 26, authorizing retaliation, had gone
through both houses without opposition it
was stated that the members of the foreign
affairs committees who had reported tho
bill had done so at the personal request of
the president. The information is now al
lowed to leak out that tho precise shape
which retailiation should take, so as to
produce the most telling effect on Canadian
commerce and precipitate a solution of the
difficulty, was arrived at after repeated
consultations with leading business men on
our Canadian frontier, who were called
into consultation by the state department
from northern New York and other parts
of the country so quietly that tho fact of
their presence here on this business is only
now made known after their departure and
tho completion of the act.
It is said in administration circles that the
ground was so carefully gone over before
hand that Canada is not loft a log to stand
on, and must give iu to tho American de
mands and immediately revoke the order in
council on April 4 last authorizing tho dis
criminating rebate of eighteen cents a ton
on grain products shipped to Canadian
ports and refused to all American merchan
dise. Equality of tolls in the Wellaud ca
nal was one of the distinct pledges made by
Article 27 of the treaty of Washington of
1871, under which treaty Canada has profited
BO largely.
May Ue Ut'bukod by OlaiUloue.
Another faot much commented on here is
the humiliating position in which Governor
General Lord Stanley and tho Canadian
ministers havo placed the British legation
iu Washington. Mr. Herbert, the British
charge of affairs, twice asked of tho United
States government an extension of time,
stating that he did BO at the request of the
Canadian government, and on the last occa
sion—Aug. b— holding out, on the snmo au
thority, a promise of satisfactory action.
Yet the first news of the decision of the
Canadian government to continue the ob
noxious rebate until tho end of tho uaviga
tlon season—that is, nntil a period when re
taliation would be harmless—came to the
state department, not from tho British le
gation, which had been led to promise early
and satisfactory information, but from the
United Stntes consul in Ottawa.
When Mr. Herbert journeyed post haste
from Newport to Washington, and was
asked by Secretary Foster whether the in
formation conveyed by the United States
consul general was true, he was obliged to
confess that the Canadian government had
left him absolutely in the dark; that he had
no official communication to make, although
ho did not question the truth of the consul
general's dispatch. It Is surmised that Mr.
Gladstone's government and the new colo
nial secretary will not let this apparently
gross discourtesy on tho part of the Cana
dian powers to the British representatives
pass without a fitting rebuke.

DA FONSECA DEAD.
He Overthrew Dora Pedro'* Empire and
Wit* Firnt President of llrazll.
Rio JANEIRO, AUG. 24.—Marshal Deodorc
da Fouseca, first president of the republic
of Brazil, is dead. Deodoro da Fouseca first
sprang into promi
nence as the head
njsJ of the party which
Jsj $W overthrew Dom
Wig# Pedro and the
l/5l v* Tj mo n archial gov
vir ornment of Brazil,
on Nov. 15, 18811.
He was about flf ty
six years old at
that time. The
V life of Fouseca was
if the life of a sol
' fiier, and his career
It) as the head of the
DA FONSECA. republic of Brazi
was brief and in
glorious, a fact due to the circumstance that
the demands of the republic at the time
were for a man of business, skilled in affairs
of finance rather thuu one who knew only
the arts of wnr.
As a soldier ho had shown himself brave,
and as a citizen he was exemplary. His
honesty was not questioned by the ma
jority and the nation held him in high
esteem, but he had not been trained iu the
exchanges, and he could not solve the prob
lems which confronted him when he be
came the head of the new republic.
Tho troubles of the country turned large
ly upon financial questions, and a few
months after Fonseca was heralded as the
head of the new nation, public confidence,
following the course of exchunge, went to
low water mark and he was asked to re
sign. His health was failing, his physical
as well as his political strength was shat
tered, and he resigned.
TO PHOTOGRAPH ALL CHINAMEN.
Uncle Sam's Officials Have Evidently a
Large Contract on Hand.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Commencing on
Bept. 1, evory Chinaman in this country
except the retinue of the diplomatic corps
and a few recognized merchants, is required
to make an application for a residence cer
tificate to the nearest internal revenue col
lector, describing himself, his age and occu
pation, and proving his identity by present
ing and filing throe proof sheet photographs
of his fuce.
His statement of facts are to be support
ed by the affidavits of two creditable wit
nesses, and upon approval of this applica
tion tho collector is authorized to issue him
a certificate entitling him to continue to re
side in this country. Any Chinaman who
fails to provide himself with such a certifi
cate of residence between now and May 5
next is liable to doportutiou back to China.
There are 107,000 Chinese in the United
States. Over 70,000 of these are in Califor
nia and 0,000 in Oregon, and there the brunt
of tho enforcement of the exclusion act will
fall. But there are nearly 3,000 in New
York, over 1,100 in Massachusetts, besides
700 in Chicago and nearly 500 in St Louis.
The obligations of tho law are discretion
ary with the Chinese. If they don't choose
to got themselves photographed, and to
make their applications within the time
prescribed, the revenue officials have no
power to compel them.
The only penalty is deportation, which
falls under the domain of tho attorney gen
eral and the secretary of the treasury. The
anticipations of difficulty entertained by
the internal revenue officials seom to bo
borno out by the fuct that of the SIOO,OOO
appropriated in the sundry civil bill to carry
j out the law, only #30,000 has been allotted
I by the secretary of the treasury to the in
ternal revenue bureau to provide the neces
sary deputies to executo tho law, while #70,-
000 has been retained by the treasury de
partment and the department of justice to
meet the cost of deporting the recalcitrants.
