HEAVY LAND TITLE SUIT.
One Million Dollars Worth OF Minne-

One Million Dollars Worth OF Minne-
apolis Property Involved.
MINNEAPOLIS, June GA sensational land
title suit Is about to be instituted here,
which involves 81, 100000 worth of property
in the heart of the city. Upon 1t is situated
the Minneapolis chamber Of commerce's
magnificent stone building. Attorney Brown,
in looking over some musty old records re-
Gently, found what he conceived to be flaw
in the title running back to the year 1853,
before the town was plated. He, with other
capitalists who are backing him, has recently
secured quit claim deeds, and will now pro-
secute the claim for all there is in it. 1t is
said that other valuable land in the vicinity
is also involved. The chamber OF commerce
people are totally oblivious to what is going
on. Neither President Loring nor Secretary
Sturtevant could be found this afternoon,
but it is learned that while the building was
being constructed u flaw IN the title was DIS
covered and work was suspended for some
time 1t was supposed at the time that
everything had been Strengthened out.

LONDON, June col New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. Tho Field COM
menting on the controversy over the refusal
of the Royal Yacht squadron to recognize
the new deed gift says: "rhe refusal of the
Royal Yacht squadron TO be "a party to the
scheme for foistng the new decd of gift on
the world of sport has had depressing eff
feet on the managing committee of the New
York Yacht club, indeed they appear to be
quite dazed by the refusal and seem incapa-
BILE of giving any Ineligible account of tho
provisions of the new decd. All the surviv-
ing donor can say about tho matter is that
the principal point in Wow In its adoption
was to adopt it to the changed condition in
respect to the increased size Of yachts built
for racing. This reads remarkably
like q statement not in accordance
with facts. Has the surviving
donorf oreotton that the first two challenges
for the American cup were made by the
owner of the G ambria, 200 tons, and the
Linonia, 2S4 tons, aud that no yacht ap-
proaching these in size has since competed
for the cup. The surviving donor says he
can see no objection to the new deed. We
are not surprised at this, if all he can say in
its favor is that the yachts which compete
for the cup have increased IN size. General
Paihc is also supposed to have had some
hand in drawing up the provisions of the
new deed, and is said to have approved the
ten months notice on the ground that Amer
leans (that is himself) were put to some in
convenience in producing suitable yacht to
defend the cup against the Genesta. Galatea
and the Thistle with only six months notice.
This Is ali very well, and we heartily sympa.
thize with General Paine and admire his
boldness and Judgment IN producing two
such vessels as the Maytlower and the
Volunteer, and no less do we admire the
same spirit exhibited by Malcolm Forbes in
building the Evritan, but General Paine
appears to have temporarily lost sight alto
gether of the challenging party in his refer
ence to the new deed whilst dwelling on the
ten months notice. 1t is all very well to
make a general statement that the new deed
is fair and sportsmanlile, but such general
statements do not answer the specific obiec
tions to the deed which were raised on its
first appearance, and which every yachts
man on this side of the atlantic and many on
the other side have reiterated.

A MAMMOTH SYNDICATE.
English Capitalists to Buy UP the
American Dry Goods business.

American Dry Goods Business.
tCOpyright 1899 bB james Gordon Bsnnstt.l
LONDON, June 90 New York Her aid
Cable-Special to Tue BEE. 1T has just
leaked out here tnat a company or syndicate
is being formed in London for the purpose of
buying up the principal dry goods interests
in the chief American cities. Full details
are not yet obtainable and will not be proba-
bly, until the organization of the company is
more nearly perfected. From all that could
be escertained the intention is to get control
OF the dry goods trade in America in man
ner something similar to that in which the
brewing business is being bought, as it is
well known that the amount of money in
England seeking investment in en-
terprises that promise even small
return that is reasonably sure is
enormous. Many company schemes. some
good and some bad are being advertised and
exploited In London and other English cities.
Many of these schemes are American, either
in conception or in field of operation, or
both. Many thousands of pounds of English
capital are being put into companies which
have less promise of profit than has this one,
which is being formed to control the Ameri-
can dry goods trade. 1t could not be learned
certainly whether the company will be or
ganzed on the close corporation plan or
whether stock subscription books will be
opened. In either event 1T is reported that
the amount of money to be put into the en-
terprise will not be less than G10, 900, 600.

Sabbath Breaking Fined.

CINcINNATI, June GA. A. Ttern, pres-
dent of the Cincinnati base ball club, was
fined 800 and costs to-day for permitting
game of base ball last Sunday, 1t was urged
that there was no disorder, but the Judge
held that 1t was. done for money, and was
therefore a violation of law. Judge Ermston
decided the case against John Lederer, of
the Atlantic Garden, who was charged with
keeping his saloon open on Sunday, and who
made the defense that he conducted res
taurant business also, and that on Sunday
he closed the bar and kept open the restau-
rant only. The indge held that 1t was nee
essary to close the establishment in order to
comply with the law.

cession for the railway, has good cause for
complaint. There is now much curiosity
felt as TO the course to be taken by the
United States government. Because one of
its citizens sold certain concession, it does
not follow that it should interfere for tho
protection Of the purchaser. Caveat emptor
is a good enough motto for governments to
stand by il they are 30 inclined. The report
that an American gunboat was to be sent to
Join the British vessel at Delagoa bay was at
least premature, but almost any development
may arise out of the tangle into which we all
got over this business. Thus you will see
that public affairs are not quite so devoid of
interest as some people imagine.

ZANZIBAR, June l6.-TNew York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE.l-No news has
been received from Stanley since the
letter from Urari and missionary
brings information that the Germans
intend destroying Panzani so soon as
they have scattered some insurgents
in the vicinity of Ragamogo. They desire to
reopen trade and want the Indians back
again. The natives, however, refuse to have
any dealings with them. Stringent efforts
have accordingly been made by the Germans,
who have been backed up by the English
representatives, to come to some arrange
ment with the people of Panzani, but
they elected to fight and refused to associate
with the invaders IN any way. Bushiri has
been lately in the Usuaga country trying to
raise tribes and has sent to Mafiti. The
people, however, do not know whether he is
back yet. There is great scarcity of food
along the German coast line, and Sefu, Tip
poo Tbs son, who has arrived here, had
much difficulty in feeding his people near the
coast. He left his ivory up the country,
fearing to bring it down owing to the dis
turbed state of the district. Peters has
landed at Kivihs, to the north Of Lanor, and
his vessel has been seized by the British ad
miral and is now confscated by the
admiralty court as prize. Notice
has been posted up at the British
agency calling upon any interested parties
to assert their claim within twenty days,
Lindi is very unsettled, and the fugltives say
that the Arabs threaten to kill all the British
Indians If either q German or British ship
fires a single shot. The sultan fears deposit
tion, and that his brother ALI, who is re-
puted to be an intelligent man, will be put in
his place. 1t is rumored that an offer of this
nature has been made to Ali on condition
that he issues an edict giving freedom to all
slaves in Zanzibar and thoroughly abolishlng
slavery, but it la said that he fears to accept
because this would probably cause revolu-
tion. In fact, Portal, the British agent here,
called on Ali lately, ana his visit has given
rise to much comment in native circles.
There may be news of Stanley any day now,
but it is not thought that he can arrive be-
fore three months, when he is sure to go to
Monbassa. a ~

Special to THE BEE. lit is at last an as
sured fact that p. r. Barnum and James A.
Bailey will bring their immense show to
London. This afternoon Thomas Helton, on
behalf of the Olympia, and George
o. Starr, representative of Barnum,
signed documents that give to the lat
ter control of the Olympia. A large money
consideration was paid by Barnum and
Bailey, which they will forfeit in case the
show is not presented in London within the
coming year. The entire show will be
brought from America. requiring several of
the largest steamers to transport it. The
exhibition will not be taken to any other
city than London, as it is TOO ponderous to
transport over the country. Starr started
last night for Southampton in order to sail
on the Elder, which departs from that port

kick a very weak and Harmless man. He
saw man named Swenson beaten because

Chicago AnneXes Enough Territory
to Make Her 100000.

CHICAGO, June 29.--The question of the an
nexation to Chicago Of the closely adjoining
suburbs of Hyde Park, Lake, Lakeview,
Cicero and Jefferson was voted on to day,
The campaign which has been con-
Quoted for several weeks past was spirited
one, and botn sides have been making
tremendous struggle. The ants were gen.
orally headed by the present Office holders in
the suburban governments, who made a
bitter fight against coming into the city.
While the official vote from all points has
not yet been announced there is no room for
doubt, from the figures received,
that all the suburbs have been car
ried by the annexatonists. The various
towns bring into Chicago an additional popu-
lation of nearly 100000, bringing the total up
to the probably 100000. The territory an
nexed will give Chicago total area approx
imately esuimated) of about IVA
square miles, making it the largest
city in area in the United States.
all of the towns annexed are built up thicsly
radiatng from the old city limits. A person
unacquainted with the boundary lines would
be unable to distinguish where the suburbs
began.
The democratic political leaders in Chicago
feel rather gloomy tonight over the
outcome Of the election. Lake View
and Hide Park contain the largest
part of the new population and
those places have always returned very
large and tiresome republican maiorlties on
election days. With these places enrolled
with Chicago, the ascendancy of the demo-
cratic bosses is thing of the past as the
city will be hopelessly republican.
