How English Capitalists Propose to Mo-
nopolize the Trade.
WASHINGTON, September I7th.-Consid-
erable furry was created in commercial
circles here to-day when it was learned
that the representative of a large English
syndicate had arrived for the purpose OF
buying number of business establish
ments. He proposes TO purchase several oil
the largest dry goods, grocery, hardware
and other establishments and run them on
the same general plans that they have been
conducted but in the interest of alien pro-
prietors.
The syndicate will not buy a single store
here and there but wants a number OF
them, so as to give employment TO a gen.
eral superintendent of sufficient ability to
command trade. 1t is believed that i'm
ported goods are to be introduced on as
large scale as possible. The same syndi-
cate is said to be interested in the purchase
Of breweries in this locality. When the
establishments are secured the syndicate
will invest much more capital than is now
employed and make the opposition to resi-
dent shop-keepers decidedly lively.
The same plan is proposed in number
of the leading cities in the West. 1t is
stated that Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chi
cago, Omaha and other large cities are 10
be visited by the representative with q view
| of buying business establishments of vari-
! ous kinds. 1t is noted that with the de-
cline of commercial interests in England
on account of free trade there is a steady
appreciation of business interests in this
| country for every conceivable line of trade

After His Scaln

Ahe "rahu army Men OF the South are
After His Scalp.
Los ANGELES, September f7th-Tbe
Santa Monica Soldiers Home investigation
continues. More affidavits were obtained
to prove the incompetency Of Governor
Irelchel. The Tribune tomorrow pub
fishes one from Edward S. Merritt. the
private secretary of Treichel and Commits
sary Sergeant at the Home. After detail
ing long honorable war record, Merritt
tesuhes that he went to the Home last No.
Vember, and for six months had been pri-
Vate secretary or Sergeant Msior to Gov
ernor TreiChel. When he first went to the
Home and demanded admission the Gov
ernor asked where he YVES from. He told
him California He said could not enter
there, as fhau a home. / replied that it
was home built for Western men, and |
was entitled to home there.
l believe Trelchel totally incompetent for
the position. l have seen him write
dozens of letters, then tear them up and
write them over again, tear them up again
and put his hand to his head, saying: This
brain of mine don't work" He said to me
dozens of times that his brain didn't
amount to much. "All | can do when [
get letter is to send back blanks"
frequently when reading letters he
would come to a reference to the G. A. X.
ana he would pause and say, "9h damn
the q. y. r." he has no sympathy with
the Home or the West | have heard him
say, This Home will never amount to
much" When soldiers were brought be-
fore Treichel by the police he sentenced
them to the dump upon the unsupported
word of the officer, and refused to allow the
veterans to call in witnesses. have heard
him say when veterans were brought be-
fore him, Il don't want to hear you or any
OF your witnesses
While Dwyer was CommiSsary. Sergeant,
before Treamer Endmau came to the
Home, there were civilians came to the
Home who purchased supplies and paid
for them, but know from personal in
spection of the accounts current sent to
Washington that the Government did not
receive this money or any part of it.
Colonel Treichel once said TO ne that Cen
eral Meade said 10 him, "You had better
accept position as officer in the regular
army, because you have not got brains
enough 10 earn a living in civil life"
This is signed and sworn to before
Notary Public.
The G. A. L are pursuing the investiga-
tons closely and will demand Treichel's
removal. All his friends claim for him is
that he is not dishonest Efforts are being
made to blacken the character of the wit
nesses but not to defend the management

CANDIDATE SMIRCHED.
Theodore L. Stiles VIII Have to Answer
for EmbeZZlement.


TUCsow a. IT,, September 17th.-The
excitement over the Grand Jury's report
and indictments agrinst Theodore L. Stiles,
a candidate for the Supreme Bench in
; Washington Territory, for embezzling the
funds of tire bankrupt firm of Hurson g.
Co., still continues.
From further inquiries the half has not
been told, and when the case comes to trial
some startling Developments may be ex-
pected, for Stiles is not the only one who
made money out of the failure.
The failure, according to old residents,
was not an honest one, and speculation was
the order of the day. One house and lot
was given to lawyer as his portion of the
deal, and the funds were shamefully
squandered. Stiles never would give bonds,
nor turn over to NJ. P. Freeman, who was
appointed receiver. The funds were used
TO buy up claims of the defunct bank, and
then dividend was drawn on these claims.
The full account of the indictments cannot
be obtained, as the laws of the Territory
forbid the District Attorney from making
them public until the one indicted is ar
rested.
The claim that the charge is brought at
this time because he IS running on the Re-
publican ticket cannot be maintained for
eleven of the fifteen members of the Grand
Jury are Republicans.

they went with Cracksman, 0rihamme,
Kingston and Badge in the front, then
punched beautifully in the run to the
stand, but Badge led by a scant length.
Badge was still leading g length at the
half-mile post, with Los Angeles and
CraCksmau Tapped a length and a half be-
fore Cortez. Racelaud was fifth, and that
was as near the front as he could get
throughout the race.
OIachS-
man had worked himself to the front, but
Badge and Joe Courtney were at his quar-
ters. Taragon had Cortez, Exile. King
ston and Joe Courtney. Orifamme and
Raceland were out of it. At the mile-post
Badge and Los Angeles were on even terms.
Kingston and COrteZ were close up.
From the head of the stretch to the wire
it was a pretty race. Exile, Kingston,
Badge and Los Angeles ran almost Tapped
all under drive. Then, as Murphy slowly
but surely forged Kingston's nose in front
and passed under the wire in that position,
a mighty cheer rent the air, for the Dwyer
Brothers great horse had won the Oriental
handicap of 1889
The finish was almost the exact counter
part of the Brooklyn handicap, heads only
separating the first four. The official finish
was Kingston first by head, Los Angeles

head In front of Cortez, who ran remark
ably good race. Taragon was next, Cracks

COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS.
The Office Seems to Go Begging-No
One Wants 1t.

WASHINGTON, September 18th. While
General Warner will not say so in so many
words, it is pretty well understood that be
has declined the Pension Commissioner
ship. At one time General Warner had al
most made up his mind to accept, but his
business matters interfered to greater ex-
tent than he had thought they would. 1t
became entirely impracticable for him to
accept.
There are plenty of other candidates in
the field, but the general impression is that
General Merrill of Massachusetts will be
appointed.
General Merrill has said to his friends
here that he could not afford to accept the
Office. He is now Insurance Commissioner
of Massachusetts, and has business pros
poets before him that are better than the
Pension Commissionership. Nevertheless,
it is expected that the place has been or
will be offered to him and that he will ac-
cept.
His appointment would be acceptable to
the Grand Army men, and both the Presi-
dent and Secretary Noble would like him
to take the place.
He is an ex-Commander-in-C of the
Grand Army, and is Chairman cf the Grand
Army Pension Committee.
General Warner called on the Secretary
of the Interior to-day and had a conference
with him.

WITNESS TRIPPED.
a Severe Cross-questioning Paralyzes
Witness Woodruff.

witness Woodruff
New YORK, September 17th.-In the Ives
case to-day, Woodruff again took the stand
and was put through a severe cross exam
ination. He started in cool and uncon-
cerned, but before long began to get hot
and eventually streams Of perspiration ran
down his face. The line of cross question
ing directed to the minuti;e of transactions
testified to yesterday, such as the over.issue
of stock, with the evident intention of
tripping him. The witness became much
confused and was compelled to take refuge
behind faulty memory.
Lawyer Brooks asked Woodruff about
his statement in the suit of Meter against
Ives and Staynor, but to each question the
witness replied II don't know" Then the
record of the Woodruff statements were
read and Ives counsel asked did you
make both of these statements ?"
81 did"
"And when you made them you knew
you were committing willlul perjury"
81 did," said Woodruff
Woodruff's affidavit in July, 1889, relat-
ing to the alleged forgery was compared
with his sworn statement at the reference
suit in Cincinnati and Woodruff was again
confronted with perjury.
He had first sworn that the statement
was true, and then taken oath it was false.
The witness acknowledged that it was will
full and corrupt perjury. Two or three
other witnesses were examined regarding
the books before adjournment of the Court.

danger from a fire close by. The giant
powder has been removed from the town
limits and many families have moved out
their furniture. 1t is hoped to save the
