Cotton Pickers Combine Against the Planters, GALYESTON, Tex., Sept. 5.—An organization of colored cotton pickers has boeu formed, the membors of which have agroed not to pick any cotton after Soptember 2 for loss than 1 per hundred pounds and board, This organization has been perfected through the colored alliance and now numbers moro than 500,000, with thousands boing added every day throughout the southaen states. Colonel 1t, A. Humphreys, general super- intendent of the colored alliance, with head- quarters at Houston, admits the' existence of Colored this organization, saying: “It had been in- duced by organizations some time ago, of planters and merchants in certain sections — mostly—notably Memphis and Charleston— to reduce the prices for picking to a very low standard, and that tho colored pickers had combined to protect themselves from this dictation, and he thought that it was right to do so. It is learned that a secrat order has boen mailed at Houston to every colored sub ullianco throughout the cotton belt, fixing the date of tho strike of pickors, which witl bo simultancously inaugurated, aud how it shall be conductod, P SECRETARY PROCTOR'S WESTERN TRIP.

Loypos, Seot. 5.—Commenting on tho statement cabled to this city from Shanghai and purporting to give the views of the edu- cated classes of Chinese in regard to foreign missionaries and demanding the withdrawal of forcign missions from Chinese territory, which, it is claimed, have utterly foiled in the objects they wero intended to uccomplish, and only tend to fo- ment revolt, the Times says: The lesson to be drawn is that liberal treatment of China is useless. Europe should inflexibly and sternly insist upon the observance of treaty rights aud thus avoid imitating fussy naval displays. ““We are glad to belicve this is the view held by the foreign ofiice.” The Morning Advertiser says: ‘A nation (China) which occupies towards foreivners such an intellectual standpoiot as this, can hardly be brought to a desirable frame ot mind by diplomatic remonstrances.’” ‘The Post, commenting on the same subject, oxpresses as the opinion: “That it is evident from the inherent strength of tho Chinese as from their mauifost weakness, that a trifling policy is the worst that can be adopted. Iurope must prepare either to enforce or re- nounce her treuty rights.” . LEASURE OF KINGS.

A Woman's First Husband Back to Trouble Her. W YOonK, Sept. 5. —A svit for aivorce 18 pending in the Now Jersoy court of chancory under peculiar circumstances, Fifteen yoars ago the dofendant in the case was a girl of 16, and was married toa young man of fine prospects in life and a well kuown name, In less than a woek after the mareiage, ho was urrestod for crime, convicted in the courts, and sent to state prison for a term of yoars, A lawyor informed the youne wife that the sentenco veas equivalent toa decres of di- vorce and in the courso of a year sho was warried again and nad a child. I'wo years aitorward, having discoverod her second husband’s infidolity, she sovght and obtained a divorce from him. Some tme afterward she was again courted and warricd, and has lived happily with tho third husband and raised a family. ‘This husband 13 in entire ignorance of tho first marriage. Two months ago the first husband called apon the wife and made hirself known, an explanation followed. He haa no desire, he suid, to claim her or make their rolationship known, but simply wanted a legal dissolution of their murriagoe in order that he might marry without bigamy, hence the suit with the first husband as the potitioner. Comes There is no contradiction of any of the faots asserted in the potition. The case was before Special Mastor in - Chancory John Whitehead of Newars yesterday, and he will probably advise a dectce, and it will be noc cssary for the wifo to go throuvh another marriage with her third husband in order to legitimatizo her children.

KKceioy, one of the party, says : “Our oxpedition was entirely distinct from Licutenant Peary’s. He wont¥intending 1o push to tho furthest point nortl yet reachod by man. We went merely to study the west coust of Greenland and bring vack specimons. We were exceedingly successful, bt every member of our party, 1 believe, considors tho situation of Peary and the seven companious he now has ns most perilous. He is about six hundred miles north of Uperaavik, the Danish town which trading vessels reach aboutonce o year. His idea when we loft him was to push several hundred miles north- ward toward the pole and to get back to Up- ernavik again by August | next. “In_the first place, north of Upernavik stretches Melvillo bay, which has always baflled navigators. We, in our little barken- tine, the Kile, were for three weeks packod in the ice of 'the bay aod had given up all bope of getting through, when it finally ovened up. But we brought back the Kile with us and Peary will have to de- pend on his whale boat to got bim south.” NICARAGUAN RIOTERS, Granada's Chief of Police and Fifty Citizens Shot Nrw Yonx, Sept. 5.—Mr. Ramon Volez of tho Revista Popular of this cily,has received aletter from his agent in Granada, Nicara- gua, who states that the chief of polico and anumber of his soldiers wore shot during the riot in that city of August 23, and that more than fifty of the citizen rioters were cither killea or wounded.
