I,omit' Clots ii t.ooil Take—Now Appulnt o.l Judge, Ktc. Washington, August I t.—It can now be antiioritively staled that General A. G. Sedgewick, of New York, goes to Paso del Vorte and Chihuahua by request of Bay ard in connection with the Cutting case. The mission is in no sense of a diplomatic nature, but simply to secure the depart ment fuller information in regard to the case. The records of tne Mexican courts are not published like those of this coun try and the usual diplomatic channels through which they would nat urally be sought are slow, owing to the distance between the scene of the trial and the capital. Gen. Sedgwick, in addition to securing the rec ords, will look up all the facts in the case and study its legal features, reporting fully and early to the secretary. .No furthei steps are contemplated by the department until his report. His journey may be ex tended to the City of Mexico. With regard to the rumored resignation of Minister Jackson, it can be stated upon authority that his purpose to resign ante dates the present controversy, but lie ex pects to remain at bis post until they are fully settled. Tin* President's Plans. Washington, August 14.—'The president is using his best efforts to clear up his work to leave here early next week for the Adirondack mountains. He proposes to go as soon as he can, and will leave on Monday if his affairs permit. His assistants j are materially decreased by the illness of l Secretary Lamont and the temporary ab- i sence of Mr. Pruden. It is said the in'esi- | dent will appoint a new public printer ! and district judges for California, Alabama and North Carolina before his departure. (inoile (lets n timid Tnkr.

T., Augut 14.-Advices iroin Alaska are to the effect that the anti- Chinese movements have spread to that territory. On August 4th at a meeting at Juneau it was decided that Chinese em ployed by the Alaska Mill and Mining Co., on Douglass Island must go. A commit tee of fifty proceeded to the island and demanded that Treadwell, the manager, discharge them. He refused. The com mittee returned to Juneau and reported to the citizens at a secret meeting. On the 6th one hundred miners proceeded by boat to Douglass Island and in spite of Treadwell’s protest assembled the Chinamen, 8ri in number, at the wharf for shipment to Seattle by the steamship Idaho. The captain of the Idaho refused to receive them, and as Treadwell had gone to Sitka, appealing for aid from the United States steamer Pinta, the miners were worried to devise ouick means of disposing of the prisoners. There were two schooners lying at Douglass island. The committee chartered one and seized the other, the captain declin ing to charter it. The Chinamen were put about the small vessel and given 100 sacks of rice and some tea. The vessels then sailed for Wrungel island, but a storm arose and they were unable to land, and when tiie Idaho left Alsoka they were beating about near Juneau, both crowded with Chinese.

Future culls will be determined solely by the state of finances. While it is probable that a second call for $10,003,000 of bonds may be made next month, such potion will depend en tirely on Urn condition of the treasury at the time. Fairchild’s views on the public I debt are embodied in Hie following stale- : ment made by him before llie senate | finance committee when the surplus reso- j lution was under consideration. # - “Secretary of the treasury is fully in ac- [ cord with this resolution so far us it is n | declaration in favor of applying the j surplus revenues of the government to the extinction of the interest bearing debt of > such amounts and at such times as they i maybe prudently an l beneficially done.'* ( Fairchild denied in most positive Icrnu j the published statement that he and Treasurer Jordan were at variance on the j subject of bond calls, and said the recent | call for ten million of bonds was made ; after a conference wit h Jordan and with his entire concurrence. A CASE OF ABDUCTION, And tlu* Probable tinnier of a Young t.inlj •»> Her Rejected Suitor. Locsanspokt, Ind., August 11.— 1 There is great excitement over the ul>duetion and probable murder of Miss Luella Mabbett, an estimable girl living south of here. Last week Amos Green, a rejected suitor, drove in a carriage to her home, seized her and carried her off. He returned home the next morning and disappeared. Mgs Mabbett has not been seen since then, and as Green had threatened her life, it is believed site has been murdered. An organized search for her bus vainly been carried on. A trail has been found leading to Wild Cat creek and some believe the body will be found in the stream. Thursday night a mob, believing Green’s mother knew the where abouts of her son, went to her house. A rope was placed around the old womans neck and she was threatened, with death if she did not reveal the hiding place oi her son, but threats of lynching were ol no avail. The mother refused to open her mouth to betray her son. The mystery is deepened bv the disappearance ol another of Xliss Mabbett’s suitors, John Yerkis. On the night of the abduction. William Walker made a call on Miss .Mab bett’s sister and lie. has since been arrested as Green’s accomplice. Mrs. Green lias also been arrested. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Baltimore, August 11.—The American will print to-morrow an interview with Cardinal Gibbons, lie says Cardinal Las- chereau’s condemnation of the Knights or Labor should not be taken as the senti ment of the church. “I am not familiar with the labor organization in Quebec, but it is certain that the cardinal’s hostility grew out of some local laws or conduct oi the Knights which are contrary to the doe- trines of the church. As to the Knights ot Labor in the United States, I have not thoroughly examined their constitution or studied their purposes, yet from tne newspapers and Powdcrly’s statements i infer that their objects are praiseworthy and not opposed to the church. 1 nc views of Catholic prelates will to a man de clare in favor of organization .or iaf ? or ] There can be no wrong in it.

The IJfrmry Club in Jhimrrr, From rumors current for several days it appears that the per in* tu it y of the literary debating society in the valley is seriously threatened.

The friends of prohibition, having made the best show ing, gained the day. The decision incensed tIn* opposite side*, and the leader for anti prohibition Idled over in wrath, lie gave out right then and there that he was done with tlu-thing, and suiting the action to the word, lie gathered up his effects and left in disgust.

To-day at a meeting of t he executive com mittee of the union the walking delegates reported that over 1000 canal boats and barges have been tied up in the harbor and on the sound by the striking boatmen, it was reported that McWilliams Bro.’s line of coal boats from Perth Amboy were all tied up. It was said that 205 boats were tied up at Port Johnston. The tugs in the harbor were said to be idle. About thirty* of these have b< on deserted by their crews, whp will do no work until the demands of the men are satisfied. The distr’et assembly, No. 40, Knights of Labor, is backing up the Boatsmen union. On Monday they will order the laborers on tin* docks at Port Johnston, 101 izubeth port, Perth Amboy, South Amboy and Hoboken, to stop work till the strike is ended. Or ders have been also given to stop loading coal barges and boats from different places with coal intended for this port. A committee has been appointed to find out if the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company has any right to bring coal to this city by a boat the com pany has chartered to send coal to ' Bondout, but it is claimed that they have no right to ship coal from Bondout. in their own boats to tide water. The feeling among t he boatmen is better. They h«v they have been ground down to the earl'll for years by grasping boat own ers and companies. Many of the boat owners are reported lobe willing to accede to tbe demands of the men to raise the pay of captains to $50 a month and 25 cents a ton for harbor work. ON THE TRACK.

He was one of<»ur largest real estate owners, but bad retired from Iai-iness several years ago on account of bis health. A negro man by tin* name of Dan Hurst was knocked off the railroad between here and Salem this morning bv the passenger train and seriously hurt. '1*1 u* railroad men did evi rything in their power by blowing the whistle and ringing the bell to get him off the track, but he paid no attention to them. There is no defect in his hear ing, and tlie supposition is he was drunk as he is addicted to drinking. There is more building going on in Ope lika than for the last fifteen years. im provements are to be seen on every side. Finest crop in this section that we have had for years.
