Ono Hundred and Fifty Funerals in Ohicago on Easter. DUE TO THE PREVALENCE OF LA GRIPPE. Enormous Quantities of Sugar,in Bond—A Famous Beauty to Be Married- Wild West Indians, { Cnteaco OFFice or Tie Rer. ) Ciioaco, March 0. | Thero wero 150 funerals to sadden the joy of a beautiful Easter day in Chicogo yester- day. Sonumerous were the funcrals that a person standing on a street corner in down- town' localities could count threo and four passing in various directions at the same time. Five funeral processions passed the cross- ing of Washington and Clark streets within thirty minutes time between 2 and 8 o'clock. The deaths ran almost up to one thousand in this city last week and the health depart- ment and all prominent physicians attributo the great mortality to the prevalence of la grippe. The sanitary conditions seem to count for less with this disease than in all others, Almost three hundred men of the R00 employes of the South sige cable and horse car system are off duty. The fire department has many men_down with the grip and the police department has a long sick list. The demand was so_great for hearses yes- terday that the supply was exhausted. Sev- eral funerals in conséquonce, will be held"to- day that wera set for yesterday. Ay this rate the “coming week’s death record will be much larger than that of last weelk," said Dr. Tomlinson of the health de- partment this morning, “I'here were 150 death certificates up tonoon today to com- mence the week with. Those of last Monday were but fifty-six in the same longth of time. We will soon have to print more certificates if this keeps on.” ENORMOUS QUANTITY OF SUGAR, Never since Chicago's incorporation has the city been so full of sweetness, and as tho hours pass the amount is increasing. The reason for this is that under the McKinloy bill sugar duties are removed, and this law will go into effect at 12 o'clock tomor- row night. It is estimated that 150,000 barrels of sugar have been imported in bond during March, as allowed by law, and asa saving of about 2.6 cents per pound will be effected by delaying the withdrawal of the enormous quantity of saccharine matter until midnieht tomorrow, it is almost all lying in warehouses or on cars. In fact, 50 vast is the quantity that warehouse room for all of it could not bo found and many thousands of pounds ave still sealed up in loaded cars, THE INDIAX COTION TRADE, ¢“T'he cotton trade of India is doing great damage to the manufactures of Great Brit- ain,” sald Honry Weston of Calcutta at the Leland hotel today. “A fow years ago these manufacturers pooh-poohed tho ides of Tnaian cotton manufacturers ever making any inroads in their business, but the sta- tistics of the past year have startled them, In 1860 the shipments of cotton yarn and twist from Great Britain tor India fell oft 5,000,000 pounds. Their shipments to China fell 'off 8,000,000 pounds, and to Japan 4,000,000 pounds, This deficit wassdue to the increase of the cotton manufacturers of India, In 1870 there were in India only 4,050,000 spindles, but last year we had over three and a quarter million of spindies working. Duringthe coming years we shall greatly increase tho number and before the close of the present "century we shall supply the entire demand of Asia.’” A BEAUTY 10 WED, In aletterto a friend in this_city Louiso Montague, erstwhile Forepaugh's™ $10,000 beanty and now Prince, Pretiywitz of the Crystal Slipper company, referring to a re- port that shois to wed John W.

A Press Burcau Established to Send Out Fake Winnings. Loxnoy, March 80,--[Special Cablegram to Tur Bee.|—A dispatch from Nice says that @ regular press bureauis maintained at Monte Carlo by and in the interest of the gambling establishment at that vlace. Most of the stories of large winnings and peoplo breaking the bank ave sent out by this bureau for the purpose of attracting wealthy tourists from Europe and America. The storias, it i saia, have generally no foundation. The bureau i8 not permitted to send out reports of cides and other cases of sudden death except in very vare instances, The burean was started as & permanent department of Monte Carlo gambling interests about three months ago and has added greatl 1o the business of the place by effect of ad- vertising. Previous to that M. Blanc had several Parisian newspaper men in his pa. and the press business was handled throug] Paris instead of as now, directly from Monte Carlo.

"Then when he comes into an estato they threaten proceedings for E«-r]ury unless he pays. The bill net only makes it a crime for money lenders to procure one of these aMdavits, but also provides that even after a person has 6OmM6 of ago a Promissory note executed wholly o partly for modey borrowed uader age shall be voia us to sucl money. This leaves the money lender with no oiher protection than the honor of the borrower. The bill has the support of Lord Sulisbury and will pass, BLOODY BATTLE IN ASSAM, Five Hundred Goorkhas Slain and Sevem English Oficers Missing. CaLcurra, March 80.--A dispatch from Manipur, provinco of Assam, says James W. Quinton, chief commnssioner of Assam, has been Investigating some troubles which ocourred Among the native chiefs, with a view to arresting oneof them who has been instrumental in deposing the mjah. The commssioner occupled a cimp garmsoned by o strong force of ~gooribas, aative in- fantty in the British service, Suddenly this camp was attacked by a number of the hostilo t1ibes, A twodays: battls, during which desperate fighting ook place, was followed by an onsisught. The goorkhas fought most determinedly aganst heavy odds, and aceording to the report 470 of them wero killed. Seven British officers who aceompanied the commission cannot be found. News of the massacre was prought to Ko- hima, on the Assam frontier, by two goork- ha's,’ It origiuated in a feud between tno rajuh of Manipur and a leading Tribal chief. "'he rajah was deposed and appealed to the viceroy. Mr. Quinton was sent to sottle the trouble and started from headquarters at Shillong, escorted by the forty-second and forty-fourth goorkba light infantry. Aftor crossing the frontier Quinton summoned tho chiefs to a durbar at Manipur for the purpose of arresting the re- bellious chief. The tribesmen, protending to obey the summons, mustered in force, and at midnight on the day beforethe dayon which the durbar was to be held, suddenly attacked the camp of Commissiorier Quinton, which lay between Kohima and Manipur. The at- tempt to surprise the camp failed and the tribosmen wero driven back. They re- turned, however, and kept upthe attack and siege night and day for forty-elght hours. Finally the amunition of the goorkhas gave outand Commissioner Quinton was obliged to give theorder, ‘sauve qui peut.” During the fight scouts were sent ot to try to com- municate with Shillong, but never returned. The Manipur natives cut the telegmph wires and killed the messengers, Fugitives report that a general massacre followed the taking of the camp. There s no reason for believing that the estimate that 470 were killed is incorrect. One accountof the affair reports that Com- missigper Quinton » abd his entive staft were ~ made _ prisoners. Another ac- count says that Colonel Skene, the commander, Commissioner Quinton with his son and daughter, Captain Boileau andsix of the officers were killod, the na- tives refusing to give them quacter, The rebellious tribo is famous for cunning cruelty ard bravery. Immediately upon receiving the news of the disaster the viceroy at Simia summoned the council. Two native regiments stationed in Assam have already been dispatched to Manipur.

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT, Two Dollar &ilver Oertificates Almost as Fine as the Originul. HOW BOGUS ONES MAY BE DETECTED. Entire Ofroulation of the Genuine Note May Have to Be Called In— Blaine Again on Duty— Washington News, WasniNGToN, March 80.—Secret service officers declare that the & silver certificato counterfeit is a most dangerous one. The vignette of Hancock is as fine as the original and the lettering and lathe work 1s an exact copy of the treasury note. In fact the only difference is too minute to be visible to the nuked eye. In the upper left hand and lower right hand corners of the genuine note is the figure 2, and on its face is engraved fin characters so minute that they are not intelli- fgible except under & magnifying glass the word “two,” repeated twice. In the coun- terfeit the word *two' is similarly engraved the same number of times, but in the two cases the counterfeiter has made the letters read “owt.” The discovery of the counterfeit is nota new thing, Attention was called to it some time ago, but the unkndwn coun- terfeiters watch the secret service bulletins closely.

Important Opinion in the Case of a Texas Murderer. ‘WasniNetoN, March 80. — The supreme court of the United States today refused to graut the application for a writ of habeas corpus in the murder case of Dick Duncan vs McCall, cheriff of Bexar county, Texas, in which it was sought to bring into question the valiaity of the entire penal code of the state of Texas, Duncan’s contention was thav the penal code of Toxas had never been lawfully enacted in accordance with the requirements of the state constitution, and that the code enrolled differed through errors of the enrolling clerks from the code passed by the legislature. Had Duncan’s conten- tion been sustained it weuld have resulted in the release of all the prisoners in the state and have totally upset the state criminal system. The supreme court afirms the udgment of the circuit court of the United States for Texws, that the question of the legality of the siate code is for the state court to determine. The state of Texas, says the opinion, is in full possession of its faculties as a member of the union and its legislative, executive and judicial dopartmeats are peace- fully:firal(nx by the orderly aund settled methods prescribed by the fundamental law. ‘Whether certain statutes have or have not binding force is for-the state to determine, and that determination in itself involves no infraction of the constitution of the United States and raises no federal question giving this court jurisdiction. ¢ .
