concerning the Lover California gold
craze. He said The coneessionaire was
q Chicago real estate dealer who a few
years ago went 10 Arizona and struck
3 rich mine there. He met George
Hnller and they joined forces aud
bought 3 vast tract of Mexican GOV
eminent land N Lower California
under concession 70 the International
Conlpany, az an average OF ) cents an
acre. The contract provides that the
international Company shall eolonixe
and develop the country; that IL shall
bring ZOO settlers in inside OF three
years. and - 600 inside Of 10 wears
that for every bona tide settler there
al the end Of - years the company
shall receive $50 = head for FIVE years.
On the other hand. the government
pledges entrance 10 all hartors on the
Pacific Coast: guarantees three steam
ers 10 ply along the coast $500 round
trip Whenever any Of the steamers
carry mail, and guarantees right-os-
way for two lines Of railroads not TO
exceed 3ss miles in length.
This contract was entered into about
two and . half years ago. and since
that time the international Company
has been doing big business. II has
been paving little attention 70 coloni-
zation, but much TO Srndicates. 10

tracts OF 1000 to lo.0Oe acres. at an av-
erage price OF $3.50. Things went on
in that way for while. and money
rolled into the international Golfers in
q stream, but ar last the Mexican gov
eminent became dissatisfied and last
November Senor Tomero was made a
special envoy By the government to
investigate the International Compa-
ny and see whether it was carving
out IN good faith its part of the con-
tract. What he learned caused him to
make such report that il was de-
eided the company had forfeited It's
contract.

PfTTsBURG, March 2l.--A Wheeling
dispatch says: There was remark

morning the jury came into court and
said there was no possible chance OF
an agreement being reached The
court said il would send them hack,
when Foreman O'Brlen said none Of
the jury was willing to convict unless
they could be assured in advance what
the punishment would be. The court
sharply reproyed the jury for this at
tempt 10 compromise the case, where
upon the jury retired and within five
minutes returned verdict OF not
guilty. The sensation was tremen-
dous and the verdict is the talk of
the city tonight. IL is not impossible
that no more cases viii be tried by the
district attorney, although 20 sndiet-
ments are in his hands.
