CHICAGO , March 30. f
Thcro wcro 1KO funerals to sadden the joy
of n beautiful Easter day In Chicago yester
day. So numerous were the funerals that , n
person standing on a street corner In downtown
*
town localities could count thrco and four
passing in various directions at the same
time.
Five funeral processions passed the cross
ing of Washington and Clark streets nlthln
thirty minutes tlmo between 2 nnd 8 o'clock.
The deaths ran almost up to ono thousand la
this city last week and the health depart
ment nod all prominent physicians attribute
the great mortality to tbo prevalence of la
grlppo.
The sanitary conditions scorn to count
for less with this tllieaso than in nil
others. Almost thrco hundred men
of the 8,000 employes of the South
sine * cable and horse car system are oil duty.
The lira department Ijni many men. down
with the prin , nnd the police department has
a long sick list
The demand was so great for hearses yos-
tordny that the supply was exhausted. Sev
eral funerals In consequence , will bo hcldto-
day that were set for yesterday.
"At this rate the coming wcolt'a death
record will bo much larger than that of last
week , " said Dr. Tomllnson of the health de
partment this morning. "Thoro wcro 160
death certificates up to noon today to com
mence the week with. Those of last Monday
wcro but fifty-six In the same length of tlmo.

If this keeps on. "
ENOIIMOUS QUANTITY Or 81'OAIt.
Never since Chicago's incorporation has
the city boon so lull of sweetness , and as the
hours pass the amount is Increasing. Tbo
reason for this Is that under tbo McKinley
bill sugar duties are removed , and this
law will go Into effect at 1" o'clock tomor
row night. It is estimated that 150,000
Carrels of sugar have been Imported In bond
during March , as allowed by law , and as a
saving of about 2.0 cents per pound will bo
effected by delaying the withdrawal of the
enormous quantity of saccharine matter until
midnicht tomorrow , It Is almost all lying in
warehouses or on cars. In Tact , so vast Is
the quantity that warehouse room for nil of
It could not bo found and many thousands of
pound ? are still sealed up In loaded cars.
THD INDIAN COTTON T1UUK.
"Tho cotton trndo of India Is doing great
damage to the manufactures of Great Brit
ain , " said Henry Weston of Calcutta at the
Leland hotel today. "A few years ago
these manufacturers pooh-poohed the Idea
of Indian cotton manufacturers ever making
any inroads la their business , but the sta
tistics of the past year have startled them.
In 1690 tbo shipments of cotton yam and
twist from Great Britain to * India fell off
5,000,000 pounds. Their shipments to China
foil off 8,000,000 pounds , and to Japan
4,000,000 pounds. This deficit wa3 duo to the
Increase of the cotton manufacturers of
India. In 1870 there were iii India only
4,050000 ; spindles , but last j'cac wo had
over thrco and a quarter million of spindles
working. During the coming years wo shall
greatly increase the number and before the
close of the present 'century wo shall supply
the entire demand of Asia. "

Five Hundred Goorlclins Slain and
Seven Kngllih Olllucrtt Mlssltift. *
CALCUTTA , March 80.--A dispatch from
.Manlpur , province of A ani , says James W.
Quintan , chlof comtmjsloiiDr of Assam ,
has been investigating some troubles
which occurred among the native
ihiofs , with n vlow to arresting
ono of them who has beeh Instrumental in
deposing the rajah. The commissioner
occupied n cimp garrisoned by a
strong force of goorkbas , antlvo In
fantry in the British service. Suddenly
this camp was attacked by a number of the
bosttlo tribes. A two-days' battle , during
which desperate lighting look place , was
followed by nn onslaught. The goorkhas
fought most determinedly against
heavy odds , and nccorillngto the report 470 of
them were killed. Seven British ofllcora
who accompanied the commission cannot bo
found.
News of the massacre was Drought to Ko-
hima , on the Assam frontier , by two goork-
ha's. It originated in n feud between the
rajah of Manlpur and a lending Tribal chief.
The rajah was deposed and appealed to the
viceroy. Mr. Quintan was sent to settle the
trouble and started from headquarters at
Shllloug , escorted by the forty-second and
forty-fourth goorkba light Infantry.
After crossing the frontier Quinton
summoned the chiefs to a durbar at
Mnnluur for tbo purpose of arresting the re
bellious chlof. The tribesmen , pretending to
obey the summons , mustered In force , and at
midnight on the day before the dnyon which
the durbar was to bo held , suddenly attacked
the camp of Commissioner Quinton. which
lay between ICohlnm nnd Manlpur. The at
tempt/to surprise the camp failed and the
tribesmen were driven back. They re
turned , however , nnd kept up the attack and
slego night and day for forty-eight hours.
Finally the umunltlon of the goorkhas gave
out and Commissioner Quinton was obliged
to give the order , "sauvo qul pent. " During
the light scouts were stint out to try to com
municate with Shillong , but never returned.
The Manlpur natives cut the tologmph
wires and killed the messengers. Fugitives
report that a general massacre followed the
taking of the camp. There Is no reason for
believing that the estimate that 470 were
killed is incorrect. ,
Ono account of the affair reports that Cora-
misslojicr Quinton nhd , his entire staff
were made prisoners. Another ac
count says that Colonel Skono , the
commander , Commissioner Quinton with
bis son nnd daughter. Captain Botleau
and six o ! the oftlcers were killed , the na
tives refusing to glvo them quarter.
The rebellious trlbo U fatuous for cunning
cruelty ard bravery.-
Immediately upon receiving the news of
the disaster the viceroy at Simla summoned
the council. Two native regiments stationed
in Assam have already been dispatched to
Manlpur. The Third Bengal Infantry will
start for tbo sccno tomorrow.
The viceroy of India bos abandoned his
tour and started for Simla. Five regiments
and a mountain battery bavo been ordered to

STATE COVJIT MVHT JtECIltr.
Important Opinion in tlio Cnoo or a
Texas Murderer. .
WASHINGTON , March" 80. The supreme
court of the United States today refused to
grant the application for a writ of habeas
corpus in the tnurdor case of Dick Duncan vs
McCall , Uierlft of Boxar county , Texas , in
which It was sought to bring into question
the voliaity of the entire penal cede of the
state of Texas. Duncan's contention was
that the , penal cede ot Texas bad novcr
bcou lawfully enacted In accordance with the
requirements of the state constitution , nnd
that the cede enrolled differed through errors
of the enrolling clerks from the cede passed
by the legislature. Had Duncan's conten
tion been , sustained it wchld have resulted in
the release of nil the prisoners In the stntn
and bavo totally upset the state criminal
system. The supreme court nfurms the
judgment of the circuit court of the United
States for Toxtts , that the question of the
legality of the state coflo' i for the state
court to determine. The state of Texas , says
the opinion , is in full possession of its faculties
09 a member of the union and Its legislative ,
executive and Judicial dopartmeats are peace
fully operating by the ordfirly nnd settled
methods prescribed by ( ho fundamental law.
Whether certain statutes have or have not
binding force is for-tho state to determine ,
and that determination In Itself Involves no
in fraction of the constitution of the United
States and raises no federal question giving
this court jurisdiction.

the members of the rank nnd file about the

with Joy the timid Tioarts of the Independents
Into whoso midst the wayward oftlce grabber
has thrust himself.
Appended are some opinions :
Senator Sanders ( iud ) Oh. I don't know.
I'd want to see a llttlo moro before I should
say his conversion was genulno.
Senator Slovens ( Ind ) Wo want to got nil
the good Into the independent patty that wo
can , but personally wo have not room In our
party for very many Paul Vandorvoorts.
Senator Day ( Ind ) I think we'll give him
a trial. We've got to bo n llttlo careful of
new recruits though ,
Senator iCoontz ( Ind ) I think ho'll rnako a
grand good man if ha b sincere.
Senator Smith ( hid ) I hoard that ho was
going to como In on probation. That's the
rule of the Methodist church , you know
never to take a man in tbo first tiling.

Hop.-I don't know what motive ho has in

Representative Gale ( hid. ) The sooner

U will bo for your party. That's it In rhyrno
and you may take it in tlmo. If tie had got
out some time ago you wouldn't have had
this racket Jin the house ] now. ,
Senator' Hand all ( md. ) When wo take
such men into the Independent party , wo put
them on probation , I don't know how long
the probation will bo. The party Is too young
yet and has not established a time for trial.
Senator Turner ( Indi ) Oh , I expect we'll
have to give him ono of the best paying post * ,
tlons In the party. If wo don't ho won't stay
long. Ho's a big man , you know.
Senator Shumway ( rep. ) After all the
party has done for him It dposn't look ex
actly right for him to go back on It lust be
cause bo's lost uposltldn. I think ho'll bo
sorry for It.
Senator Mlchonor ( Ind. ) I suppose Van *
dervoort got tired of nls company aud wanted
something bettor.
Senator Thomas' ( rep. ) It's ridiculous. At
tbo Qalvoston banquet [ three wueko ago ] It
didn't look to mo then as if ho was a very
good independent.
Senator Van Houscn ( dem. ) He didn't
flop out of our pnrtyand I don't ' euro very
