Forced to Assign,

John r. Burton, the Gogebic Iron King,
Forced to Assign.
ELKHoRS, Wis, July 1S.-John E.
Burton, known as the Gogebic iron king
during the mining craze two years ago,
has made an assignment to Gage L. Tar
bell of Milwaukee. The liabilities of Mr..
Burton are about SS25, 900 and the Cen
trail Trust company of New York, whose
claim is $3.50, 900, is the largest creditor.
The suit involving the legality of this
claim, which is disputed, is now pending
before the supreme court. The second
claim against Mr.. Burton mounts to
about $500. 900, and there is no prospect
that there will be anything left to pay
the unsecured claims, the assets being
stated to be 500, 900, including 5000, 900
in real estate, and $4,000 in personal
property. The real estate consists of prop
erty in Lake Geneva valued at $500, 600, a
business block in Chicago valued at
5000, 900, property in Hurley and various
other places valued at 100000. Besides
this there is stated to be $500, 900 per-
sonal property, consisting of mortgages,
notes, stocks, etc. There are no pre-
ferred creditors. Mr.. Burton says that
lie has been s. harassed by creditors
that he was forced to assign. He said:
NEARLY 100 suits have been brought
| against me in eighteen months. and my
credit ruined, and my property depreci-
atcd and slaughtered from 50 200, 900 to
less than 81 900, GOO. and in nearly all
cases it was unnecessary.

About 1000 delegates We're present. All

discriminating legislation: repudiates all
sectional feeling. and halls with delight
the dawn of the hearty brotherhood:
favors immigration, the encouragement
of agriculture, investment of capital in
manufactures, and a liberal policy to-
ward humane, benevolent and educa-

Another Turn.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The civil SER
vice commission has made public the
report which they have been preparing
for some time Of the Investigation made
by them into the operation of the civil
service law in Milwaukee. A report on

some time ago. 1t was brief, and the
commissioners say they were influenced
in making it by the false statement of
the postmaster tothe effect that his term
of office had expired. Tho report made
public says that the examination of the
postoffice was made by the entire COM
mission and the conclusions reached
were agreed to unanimously. The re-
Gently published statement that he was
not given Il hearing is condemned by
the commissioners as a gross mis-state-
ment.
