Late report from the scone of tha Chinese riots at Ilocl Springs show that thirty-four Mongols wor either shot down or burned to death , Fiv more bodies have been recovered from tin ruins of Chinatown , The bodies were rootoc by hogs from under the dirt which constitute ! the roof of the building. No effort baa ye been made to thoroughly search the ruins fo victims. It is believed that a systematii search would reveal the bodies of other vic tims. tims.The The fact has been developed that miner , tcok ad vantage of tlie attack upon the Chinesi to commit the most gross robberies. Man } of the victims had their pockets emptied eri the pnlse bad ceased to beat , and nil tin buildings were pillage J bcforothaincondi&ry'i torch was applied. Miners at Alma , near Kvanston , ordered the Chinese to leave but the arrival of troopi prevented any open demonstration againsi them. It Is believed that then ) will be nc further trouble aa long at the soldiers remain , but the mlnora swear that the must go even tually. Additional arrests of those who participa ted in the riots have been made. A doega ! tion of miners left for Omaha Saturday tr present their grievances to the managers ol tbe Union 1'jidfic. The general belief is that no matter how much the company might like to got the Chi nese back , they could not be induced to come. Tney have been BO thoroughly frightened that nothing can tempt them to return , while the news of their treatment will spread rapidly among tbo Chinese all over tbo country and prevent them taklnir their places. The fooling in the mining camps is best shown by the following editorial in tha Evanston - ston Chief tan : "The tune has now come , the fruit is now ripe and should be gathered to gether and sent back to the country from whence it came , to live , dlo and rot on soil that gave it birth. Therefore , lot us awake to a sense of our duty , lot us expel the vile lepers which are preying upon our country , sapping the life blood from our industries , Injuring our families , ruining our youths , casting blemishes on our fair daugh ters , and making us feel as though a blot wa ? being cast upon this great republic , Arisa , brother laborers , put your shoulders to the wheel , and with united action from east to west let the good work go on until we have wiped out this evil , and keep at work until the last Chinaman places his foot upon a vessel that bears him toward the setting " sun GIIETENHE , Wyo. , Sept. 7.

The charges against the pris oners are murder , arson , rioting and robbsry , The rnlna of Chinatown have not yet been searched , and no more dead bodies yet dis covered. It is estimated now tbat the num ber killed is about fifty , including those who died of their wounds in the surrounding hills. All Chinamen at work In the Almy coal mines near Kranston , numbering 400. have boon taken to the latter p'aca under an escort of United States troops.

When such report was recehod , he said , tbo question of bring ing tha case to tha attention of this govern ment would be considered. Thus far there had been no correspondence upon the sub ject between tlia minister and tbo consul at San Franclico , The return of the minister to Wathlngton , he added , was not beciuie of this trouble , but simply because his vacation was at an end.

Total deaths from all causes dtir- ng the same days : 102,118 , 92 , 73 , 88 , 70 , C3 , Nils , considering that tbe normal death rate f Marseilles it less than thirty per day , is n rightful record , and shows that typhui and yphold fevers are ravaging this reeking city nth a vehemence scarcely less deadly than hat of cholera itself. " Mr. Mason soys that tha departures from he city number aout 2,000 per day , butthero as been no panic like that of 1881 , the public lind having boon gradually prepared for evelopments which for a time were suppressed y the city government and tha press.

The prospects nre hero will not ba wind enough for a race. The ocean course is quite smooth , 10 a. m. The wind Is BOW four miles an hour , and from tbe north. The weather In hazy. Several yachts are start ing out from the horseshoe , others are being turned out. The sea ns Binopth as a pane of glass. The yacht Swie- ton in tow of tha tug Luther 0.

Tha wind is now five miles and still from the north. 11:30 a. m , It looks bad for the yecbt raca to day. There is little wind. The contesting yachts are still around Scotland Lights. The iloops are ready , tbo wind is rather light , the weather is still cloudy but pleasant , At an early hour this morning the river fronts were covered by a small army of well iressed men , most of whom carried overcoats ind marine glassas slung over their shoulders , Many ladies were with the men , and the des- ; innton of all was the yaht race. Numarous ixcunion tnat ? , wh ch w > ro gaily decorated iVith bunting , rested easily at the ends of piers 'rom far up town to the bittery on either side if tha city. At the foot ; of West Twenty- street tbe police boat , Patrolo , received i select assemblage. Farther down from the bet of Beach street the large ocean steamer , Richmond , carried away n number of passen gers , One of the boats had tn board a nutn- ier of carrier pigeons which will bo liberated it certain periods to boar information of the nanner in which the race is progressing. The > etting , which last night favored the Gonestn , bitted this morning to ? G3 to 70 to 3100 in aver of the Puritan. The wind Is light from the northeast , veather hazy. It is doubtful if there will be my race to-day. The Puritan is being sailed > y Capt. Aubrey Crocker , assisted by Copt. Ellsworth and twenty-two able-bodied sen- nen.

The race letwocn the Puritan and Genesta is post- lonod until to-morrow , The Il co l/oitpuiicil , NEW YORK , Sept. 7. Owing to the lato- , eB8 of the start of the initial race between he Genesta and the Pcritan , and to lack of ilnd afterwards , tha yachts succeeded to-day a making only half the course , or twenty ulles. In this twenty miles beat to wind ward , tha Puritan squarely out sailed the ienesta one mile in ten and nearly two miles a twenty. A baza settled upon the bay all nornlng , and there was no wind from any uarter until nearly noon , A hundred Balls f yachts lay in the horseshoe of Bandy look this morning , when tha judges boat juckenbacb arrived from New York with he judges.

Tha Genesta remained in the hortenhoa vhlle Mr. William Krehs. of the New York acbt club , representing the Puritan , was put in board from the judge's boat. She then iroceeded under port tack to tbe lightship. L'he English cutter was also saluted by a arge fleet of yachts now under weigh , The , Ule wai tunning a flood dnilog the forenoon. IVo hundred aod seventeen vessels of all Jzes and rigs were assembled within a milecf Scotland lightship , After a tedious wait of two long hours , after the arrival of the contestants at tha light-ship , % preparatory si'snal was given from the judges'boat at 1:30 : , It was fallowed by n itartlng signal five minutes later , Moit of attendant fleet were then lylnt to the touth- wcbt oi the light-ship , to pivo the Geuesta and Pnrltan clear water to start in , Tha wind had corao in from the southeast , a moderate broaze , shortly after 1 o'clock , and was hailed with delight by tbouundi of en. thusiaitic spectators on the steamers , who hi paid from one to three dollars a head to i tha great contest. * > , MI\ The skillful management ot lha skippers both yachts brought them close enough to tl line between thejndgb's boat and tha llghtch on port tack to cross in n few seconds aft the starting * signal The Puritan Biipp ( ncross first , close up to the judgei boat i 1:35 G5-100 , but for some reason Captain Co tor , of the Cionosta , tacked to the stnrboai just before reaching It , losing 1:42 , and belr handicapped thirty-Raven seconds thereb' ' She crossed at 1:37 : 37-100 , official time.

The course was right "in the wind's eye , southeast , and a tug htd started ten minute before to log out the twenty miles to wind w.ud , and place n stake buoy for the yacht to round. Cheered on by shouts from hun dreds of spectator * , and followed by an im manse flotilla of pleasure cralt , the two con tpstants headed dne east on their first roach Finding thst ho could neither pass the Puri tan to the leeward , nor "outpoint" him , Capt Carter , after twenty-three minutes , sudden ! ' put the Goncata about to cross tha Puritan ( tern. But Capt. Crocker put his helm dowj at once , bringing his handsome white slooi round forty socondsjater. The Genestn wai full of trick * , for round tha came again it loss than a minute , followed by the Purltat a atn In fifty seconds. Both yacht * were car rying exactly the same canvas , Instead of gaining by the little skirmist which ho inaugurated , Captain Carter hat lost and the Puritan had gained a decidoc advantage. Both yachts went about nt:0 ! ! : ; nud reached to Ronthward , having made nbtml eight mlloj _ of casting on starboard tack Now the Puritan began to rapidly cpan a gat between herself and the Genesis , nnd whet they next tacked to eastward at 4:11 : , she wai fully three-fourths of a mile to windward ol her antagonist , and one-eighth of a milt ahead , At 0:11 : bath tacked to southward again , and now the Geucsta was over a miU In the Puritan's lee quarter , The both "walked" way yachts throngb the fleet of schooners , Including the Montauk , Pleetwlng , Amcricn , Gitana and Columbia , Mtonisbed the spectators , and proved tin superior ppcod of these boats aacoinparod wltl 3ldmcdeh. _ At GSO : , when the judges banl \rrived at the outer mark , it was sundown , The wind was growing lighter and the yacht : l)3ing ) than two miles to leeward , It wa : evident that the raca cculd not bo sailed .vithiu the lequired time limit of seven hours , 10 tha regatta committee ordered It posponetj mill to-morrow , when the boats will start nt .ho same hour and over a similar conrsa. All iccompanying yacbta turned back before dark , ind the Genostaand Puritan were towed bicli ; o the horseshoe. The result of to day's con < est is thought by experienced men to be con' rlncing proof that the Puritan can beat the : utter on any conditions. SPOHffINO JM'litilJl&BNCEJ.
