Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, May 13.-The investigation
of the Insane Asylum was begun in the
County Court this morning. The testi-
mony shows that there are 1000 inmates
with room for only 600; that the atten-
dance is insufficient and the food bad.
Evidence was introduced to the effect
that the patients we're fed on pigs heads
for an entire year, with potatoes for vege-
tables once week. There was no SER
vice, and the patients fought for the pos
session of the potatoes, with the result
that the weak got none, and that over
fifty of the inmates became afflicted with
scurvy.
One of the medical staff testified that,
in one ward, there are twenty-eight
patients with only nine rooms, or an
average of three in each room. 1t was
absolutely necessary to have only one or
two in some of the rooms, 30 that four
persons were crowded into the others.
These rooms are 81 by 10 feet in size.
The beds are 211a feet wide, but in many
cases two patients are forced to eleep in
them. Under such circumstances, with
insufficient attendance, the patients
would climb over the cots and
fight, and the medical attendants
was frequently called six or eight times
in a single night to go to patients who
were attempting to commit murder or
suicide. This state of affairs was re-
ported to members of the County Board
again and again, but nothing was done to
remedy it. Much other revolving testi-
mony was brought in.
The Board of County Commissioners,
this afternoon, passed resolution, nam
ing Committee of prominent citizens to
recommend suitable person to succeed
the present superintendent, DR.. Herman,
whose management has been 30 severely
commented upon recently.

New YORK, May 13.-An injunction
was to-day issued by Judge Barnell, of
the Supreme Court, on application OF
Elijah Smith and Edward R. Bell, stock
holders of the Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION Company, restraining, until fur
Their hearing, the proposed issue Of new
stock by the Oregon and Transcontinental
Company, and also by that company of
its holdings of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company's shares. The in
junction is directed against the Oregon
and Transcontinental, Henry Willard, @.
L. Colby, Colgate Holt, VIM. L. Bull,
@. A. Spofford, Charles M. Hanson,
Charles H. Prescott, Joseph Simon, A.
G. Fulton, T. Harris Bartlett, M. G.
Holland, and A d. Charleston. The
authorized capital stock of the Oregon
and Transcontinental Company is $780,
000, 900; the amount heretofore issued is
$40 100000. On Saturday last, kilograms
from several parties in Portland,
Oregon, brought the announcement
that, on Friday, the board of
directors of the Oregon and Trans
continental, pursuant to telegraphic
instructions from Willard, had passed
resolutions directing that the remaining
100000 of the authorized capital
stock be issued at once; that the COM
pany should guarantee dividends at six
per cent. upon this $10,000,000. and
$l2,000,OOO of Oregon Railway and
Navigation stock, held by the Oregon
and Transcontinental should be hypothe-
Gated to secure the payment of
dividends which were to be guaranteed
on the new issue. The Executive
Committee were authorized to dispose of
their new issue, and to charge commits
zion or rebate for their services in SO do.
ing. Seven directors only, out Of seven
teen, were pres nt at the meeting, three
being a quorum, under the bylaws.
Five directors, all of whom are en-
ployees of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, voted for and passed the reso-
lutions. The two other directors
present voted against the resolutions.
The plaintiffs who furnish the foregoing
information and believe that the Oregon
and Transcontinental has no authority
in law to give such preferred right to any
portion of the stock. 1t is asserted that
Wizards purpose was to place the stock
where he could control it's proxies and
the election on the third Monday in
June, and also with the money, thus OBJ
tanned, to increase the amount of North
ern Pacific shares now held by the Ore
gon and TranscoRtinental, to enable
him by that means to control the next
Northern Pacific election.

there should be minimum price.
About forty-fve pounds per ton,
an equivalent OF Is cents per
pound for Lake copper was agreed
upon for the metal to be sold by banks
and mines. This figure was thought to
be low enough to meet the consumption,
and not 30 low as to ruin the mines.
cater our terms agreed on were gone
over in general way, the views OF the
foreign representatives present were laid
before the lawyers representing the
bank directors and the foreigners
interested. The representative OF
the Rio Tinto mine, l neglected to say
was not exactly satisfied with our propo-
sition. He demanded that the American
mine-owuers should agree to restrict the
export of cooper. OF course we refused
to entertain such an idea. We insisted
upon equal terms. Our terms were, as
have stated them. We did not ask an
immediate reply. We we're in no hurry
and came away without coming TO any
definite conclusion"
at would seem, from what Haggin has
said, that no option was suggested, that
his mine at least will begin to throw its
produce on the market for whatever it
will bring"
"Well." the Colonel replied, eve may
have all come home prepared to do it,
but don't think we will. I won't deny
that, since our return, some notifications
have been make in our original
proposition, and just now settlement is
not hopeless question"
During the afternoon Colonel Liver
rooms. at the Brunswick, were
filled with representatives of the copper
dealers, and lengthy conference was
held, at which it was stated that several
which reached New York
soon after the Servia left Liverpool, were
carefully considered.

SAN Francisco, May 13.-The war-shii
Charleston arrived here tonight iron
Santa Barbara, the builders deciding t
return to the works with the cruiser t.
redress the slides of the starboard higt
pressure engine, before giving her sec
ond trial. The cruiser exceeded the est
mates of the Navy Department as tc
speed, with only partial development
of her horsepower, and has shown q
capacity, under ordinary steam pressure,
to equal the feats of the fastest cruisers
afoat.
The Naval officers detailed to inspect
the Charleston declare that, with de-
veloped horsepower of $500, she is one
of the fas test fighting ships in the world
and, with few notifications to be made
at the works, she will not only be able
to excel the ,000-horsepower record of
the Nanakawan, her sister ship, but
threatens to rival one or two exception
ally fast cruisers which have covered 10
knots.
During the seventeen-minute run Of
the Charleston In the Santa BARBARA
channel on Saturday, the actual horse
power developed was 5, 223, at which an
average speed of 1874 Knots was main
tanned, with 10Y revolutions of the pro-
pellors. Soon after leaving Santa Bar
bara, on Sunday morning, the ship was
driven at speed of 17.3 knots, with a
natural draught and making easy steam.
This was with development of 4,7S0
horsepower, and an average of los revo.
buttons. When of Point Conception, the
thrust. bearing of the port engine warmed
up and the ship was stopped to examine
it. AS soon as the thrust caps had been
taken off, cleaned and replaced, the
cruiser went ahead again, running at an
average of twelve knots to seventy-two
revolutions of the propallors.
The run from Point Conception to this
port was made without special incident.
The steamships San Bias and Queen of
the Pacific, downward bound, were
passed, the passengers cheering the
Charleston as she went by, and the ships
dipping their colors and salutiDg with
their whistles,

CHICAGO, May 13.-Captain Setback is

nection with the case.
Young Woodruff was to-day bound

of DEMONSTRATING. Afterwards he was
shown a number of photographs,
among which was one of Cronin.

point out. Woodruff, or Black, as he
sometimes calls himself, made state
ment that he received money from his
father, j. Black, of San Francisco, last
Tuesday. This was verified tonight by
the records of the express company,
which show this. This evening, Black
made a positive statement that he
knows that Cronin is alive, but is
unable and unwilling to say how he
knows it. He says he has not told all
he knows about the trunk, and will not
until his father and brother arrive to bail
him out.
The Court OF Foresters to which
Cronin belonged in Chicago, voted to-
night 500 to aid in the search for him,
and passed a resolution calling on other
Illinois courts to cooperate.
