A nankv ef the archives were completely"destroyed and others partially burned. The oatafi is supposed to hare bam perpetrated at about midnight. The representative in this city of the United Press visited the legation and found the offices a scene of rain. In the first large room, where visitors usually wait, only the charred remains of a table and a set of drawers arc left. In the smaller room Adjoining, used by Vice-Consul Wood, there were no traces of Are, but all tbe papers of tho vice-consul were strewn in disorder about the Qihit. Tn the morn occupied by the fcdiisul-£eneral the wow!work and the .desks had been set on tire, and most of the archives were in ashes. Some pnrth»ily burned documents were found lyinx scattered about. The offices of Minister Potter were in a similar condition, and it. was evident tiinf. lire had been applied everywhere except in the vice-consul's room. It won obvious that tbe thieves had spent several hour* undisturbed in their w< Mi of ((extract inu. Mmistfi- Potter ntnics that no valuable document* were destroyed. The minister informed tii.ro'n Illntic, minister of foreign all'.iirs, of the outrage as .soon as he himself learueil of it, and the police were immediately pat to work on the case, but as yet have fonad nothing that would lead tethe identification of tbe robber*. The motive of the thievee, end there Is considerable doubt of tbeir being ordinary burglars; in so thoroughly wrecking the oljlces and destroying papers, eepealally the archives. Is inexplicable. It is reported that tho 4,600 striken on the Montonr railroad, are assembling at Imperial and will march across the country, six miles, to attend a mass meeting at Mansfield. All of these men uro said to be foreigner*), who are rallying to the aid of the riotous element the in Minefield valley. Deputy Sheriffs Pasco and Yuuug, with live men, went to Tout's Hun minv and • fleeted the arrest of twenty-two participants in Saturday's riots. Only one of < ha men offered resistance. Mansfield is rapidly filling up with foreigners of all types and nationalities, many of whom wear red mufflers around their necks and give other manifestations of anarchism. Sheriff Cherry, of Washington county, is at| McDonald, with a force of deputies, and is In communication with Deputy ijowry, who is in charge of the Allegheny county deputies, harmonising the movements of the .forces for the two counties. Sheriff Richards has gone to liridgcville, where*'lie will serve a number of warrants for the arrest of rioters.

Mansfield, Pa., .Tun. 29.—Rumors are Afloat that another outbreak baa occurred nt some point on the railroad between Mansfield and Bridgevllle. The trouble is aald to be at the Ridgeway iniut'» on Miller'* Run, six miles from Mansiield. A number of deputy sheriffs have gone to the scene of the disturbance. Tariff and Income Tax. ' Wasmnoton, Jan. 29.— A* the house of representatives enters upon the final week of tariff debate tho friends of the Wilson bill feci encouraged by signs of abating opposition and believe that their divided rank* will clone up, and that evsn with the income tax appended to the bill it will pass the house by a sufficient majority. One of the states whose interests | seemed injuriously affected by the meas-1 urw was Alabama, but (Jen. Wheeler voiced the intention of the Alabama  gation aa follows: "The products of tho southern people are upon the free list, iron ore, coal, lumber, cotton and sugar. I have sought to get consideration of one amendment to place cotton bagging on the free list and another to reduce the tax on trace chain* and if possible to have them placed on ths free list. I liavo also straggled to get consideration of an amendment which I brought to the attention of tho house in the speech which I made four days ago. This amendment provides that, with the exception of articles of luxury, no dntf shall be imposed by this art higher than the duties imposed by the McKlnley bill. This I regard as an amendment of ths greatest importance. Hut I realize that this and other amendments which 1 have must fall for want of time for their consideration. Nevertheless, I desire, in behalf of my colleagues from tho noble state of Alnbama, to state that, the Mil will have our hearty, earnest and en»r phatic support."
