AN ANTI-CHINESE AFFAIR. San Francisco Does Not Like the Re- moval of Some of Her Officials. Sax Franctaco, Dec. 18.—The peculiar way in which the administration is acting in aiding in the exclusion of Chinese was shown yesterday by the receipt from Washington of the dis- missal of Inspectors Reynolds, Rickards and vvenall, all of whom have been specially zealous in exposing the frauds of Chinese who try to get admittauce as merchants and prior residents. Inspector Koynolds recently re- vealed an attempt made a Ubinese briber to in- duce him to deliver to the Mougolian some custom house records, by which he could have landed many Chinese. Reynolds exposed this tick in court and counsel for the Chinese then swore Reynolds would regret this act.

AN INDIAN CONFERENCE, The Sioux Chiefs Inform Secretary No- ble of Their Needs. DISTINGUISHED WHITE AND RED MEN AT THE POW- WOW—THE MARCH OF THE LATTER TOWARD CIY- TLIATION — THEY WANT HOME SCHOOLS AND PRESENTS FOR THE PAPOOSES. ‘The leading men of the great Sioux tribe of Indians were assembled in the Interior depart- ment today. They had come to have acon- ference with Secretary Noble, The Indians, dressed in suite of “store clothes” were seated together in the central part of the room while opposite them were arranged the men who rep- resented to them “The Great Father.” The central figure of the group of white men was Secretary Noble. At his right hand sat Gen. Crook, the great Indian fighter and a mem- ber of the Sioux commission which recently completed the negotiation of the haere by which the In cede to the hited States a portion of their reserva- tion, Ex-Gov. Foster of Ohio and Gen. Wm. Warner of Missouri, the two other members of the commission, occupied seats on the left of the Secretary, In the immediate vicinity were Senators Pettigrew and Moody of Dakota, Sen- ators Dawes, Paddock and Manderson. Senator Teller was also present for ashort time, In- dian Commissioner Morgan, Assistant Com- missioner Belt and others interested in Indian matters were interested spectators. GOV, FOSTER’S OPENING REMARKS, The conference was opened by ex-Gov. Fos- ter, who said, and his remarks were interpreted to the Indians, that the Sioux commission had performed the duty assigned to it and had se- cured the signatures of three-fourths of the male Indians over eighteen years of age to the agreement, as provided by law, They had also listened to the Cra ead and complaints of the Indians, but they had promised nothing except that when there was evident just in such suggestions or complaints that they would call the attention of Congress to the matter with the view of having these matters attended to. He said that the members of the commission after their frequent interviews with the Indians felt an interest in them and desire for their welfare. He thought that the commission would have failed in their mission if the In- dians had not had confidence in them and the promise that their needs would be called to the attention of the Proper. autborities. With the hope of impressing the Secretary and the mem- bers of Congress with the justice of these com- apes Gov. Foster said that the commission asked that these Indians be brought here. He said that the Indians here represented are progressive. They desire their children to go to school and to reach the stage of self- respect and self support. “They are here, Mr. Secretary,”he added, ‘turning to Secretary Noble, to address you on their grievances and suggestions.” le then formaily introduced the Secretary, who arose and bowing to the In- dians toid them that he was ready to hear what they had to say. CHIEY WHITE SWAN. An expressive “Ugh,” indicating satisfaction butsounding very much like a grunt, ran through the group of Indians and then old White Swan of the Cheyenne river agency stepped out of the ranks, He is said to be one of the oldest men in the delegation. His long, coal black hair framed in a face that was marked with the wrinkles of age. Like nearly all the Indians he had brightened y his costume of store clothes by knotting a re silk handkerchief about his throat. As he talked the interpretor translated each sentence into English. He spoke for the Indians on his reservation, and each of the five delega- tions present were given a hearing. WHAT THE RED MEN ASK FOR, As the Indians had agreed all the speakers confined themselves to general matters, intend- ing to talk to the Indian commissioner about a number of details, The attention of the Secretary was called to the fact that the Indians wanted a correction made in one of the old surveys of their land, so as to restore a portion to them which they claimed was their property. They wanted In- dians instead of white men employed in posi- tions about the reservations as far as practica- ble; that the contracts for furnishing hay, wood and beef be also open to the Indians, and also the contract for hauling the government sup- plies from the railroad station to the reservations, aud that while they were learning to become farmers rations might be issued to them. They asked for pay for ponies run off from their res- ervation by United States troops about the time of the Custer war in 1876. ‘The’ were of the opinion that men sent out to instruct them in farming ought to know how to speak their language. They asked that the method of is- suing rations and annuities be changed so that there would be greater promptness. Attention was called to the custom of beef contractors of selling them meat on the hoof and furnishing the entire supply in the Fall and receiving 80 much a pound, while the Indians had to bear the loss occasioned by the effect of the cold of winter on the cattle. ‘THEY WANT INDIAN SCHOOLS AT HOME, ‘The speakers asked that large school build- ings be erected on their reservations, where their children could be educated. They spoke of the expense of sending their children to the schools in the east, and also the bad effect upon their health owing to the change of climate, As White Swan quaintly put it, instead of their children learning to read and write at these eastern schools they seemed to learn to die, because upon their return to their homes they generally sickened and expired. AN INDIAN HUMORIST, John Grass, who is regarded as one of tho brightest Indians in the Sioux tribe, after concluding a rehearsal of these suggestions and complaints occasioned a hearty iaugh by a graphic narra- tion of the return of the Indians to their homes. They would, he suid, each have a satchel in his hand and when they entered their homes the women and children would surround them and atonce look into their satchels to see what resents they had brought home, The Indians, [ said, did not want to disappoint their women and children and he suggested that each be Ee about $30 to buy little things to take jome as presents. Ex-Gov. Foster, when this naive suggestion was made, turned toSecretary Noble and laugh- | ingly remarked to him that, there was a good chance for him to make some Christmas gifts, Some of the speakers asked that they might | be allowed to go home by way of Carlisie and Hampton in order that they might see their children and friends in these schools, Several of the spenkers asked that surveys be made of the reserved portions of their reservation at once as many Were anxious to take allotments of lands, THE KIND OF PLOUGH THE INDIAN WANTS. One of the chiets in talking about their needs of agricultural implements said that he knew how to hold a plough handle, but he had seen ploughs on wheels, anu all that a man had to jo was to sit down on this plough and drive around all day. That was the kind of plough the Indian wanted. ‘Ihe Secretary and the members of the com- mission laughed heartily over this request, When the Indians had finished talking the Secretary told them that he would consider what they had said, The conference then adjourned. Tomorrow the Indians will probably call upon the Presi- i, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

A Seattle special to the New Yord World says: Charles B, Hammond of London scandal fame reached Seattle, Wash., yesterday. He is as- sociating with a notorious character named John Stricker, who was recently arrested for shooting at the police while they were raiding & disreputable house. Stricker says Ham- mond’s mail has been coming to his box, No. 393, for some time. He said that Hammond oceupied room 12, Odern lodging house. In room 12 was found a little French woman smoking cigarettes, with two little boys in her possession, Hammond is getting rendy to startin the saloon business, Some time ago inquiry was made for the holder of box 393 and the location of the woman named Adele Gayet. Stricker gets all her mail from Paris and at- tends to all communications for her. She is in Seattle. Hammond was when addressed as Hammond, been known in Seattle us “Bolton.” When told that his version of the London scandal was wanted he became very much flustered. “Do you know anything about the great West End scandals?” was asked. “Yes, [know all about them—from begin- ning to end—but I emphatically deny that I had anything todo with them in any way. We closed our place in Middlenex hospital grounds six months ago. My wife went to my mother's lace in Gravesend, in county Kent. 1 went to ‘ance for three months, then stayed at Brus- sels eight weeks and then I came direct from Antworp on the steamship Ponnland to New York. My wife joined me at Seattle soon after =e eople in Seattle who know him say that Hammond has large quantities of diamonds and valuable jewelry, and that he kept several houses in London st different times, one on Princess street, that he was landlord of the Etoile house. Hammond has the bearing and manners of a highly educated gentleman, and says thet his famil in London are highly respected. He about thirty-five, He wears s heavy mustache and a neatly trimmed patch of whiskers on his cheeks, He i aboattvs ties t-uandlhar oMaadooin phy- sique. In conversation with the boys in his company he uses the French language, and it is said be also speaks Spanish fluently, | ‘Thero seems to be a great mystery about at least one of the boys, aud people who know him and have seen his diamonds think possibly the boys are in some way connected with the nobility and possibly ror of England. Hammond seems utterly dumbfounded that he should be tracked. Detectives are now watching him and Scotland Yard can reach him if it wants him, Adele Gayet has been the mistress for sev- eral years past of a man in Seattle, She has no connection with the scandal cases, it is said, except that her mother is a sister of the woman who is represented a8 Hammond's wife, and in this way her name is mixed up in the case, to An Etehing by an Armless Artist. London Letter to the Edinburgh Scotsman. I have before me the proof of an etching just published, the work of an armless artist M. Noel Masson, The etcher was a young man who died suddenly a few weeks ago, imme diately after he had completed this plate. Dur- ing the commune he lost both arms and bands by the explosion of ashell. He was then four- teen years of age. He got himself fitted up with mechanical hands, and set to work to learn etching. Of his success the plate now pubhshed 1s full proof. It is a view of Nogent- wur-Marne. M. Musson in choosing the subject put a considerable strain on his powers of ex- cution, for the drawing is full of detail, not to be done except with much painstaking care, He has, however, produced a bold and striking picture, M. Masson had unquestionably a sym- pathetic fecling which his mechanical han could not always interpret. But even on its artistic side the etching does not lack interest, oo No Wasted Sweetness in That Air, From Judge.

From Galignani's Messenger. A German, writing from Lisbon, relates the following coincidences: ‘When the cathedral bell at Braganza, the ancient residence of the Portuguese royal family, was tolling for the death of Queen Maria II, mother of the late King Luis I, in 1853, it cracked. In 1861, when the castle ensign was hoisted half-mast high at Braganza on the occasion of the death of ‘c Pedro V, brother of the late king, it was torn to pieces immediately by the storm.
