SAN FRANCISCO, October 2S.-The
Chronicle prints today the speech of
United States Miner, which was de-
livered at the time of his presentation to
the President OF Costa RIGA and which,
it was stated in yesterdays dispatches,
gave offense to the Mexican Government.
The paragraph containing the alleged in.
suits is as follows:
"My country being interested in the
prosperity and welfare of her American
neighbors and wishing only friendly re
lations and commercial intercourse with
them, would be pleased to see the union
of all the Central American States. In
union there is strength. Enlightened
liberty can best be maintained by the
joining of human efforts for the protec-
ton of human rights. Already your
most northern State is about to be de-
prived of considerable portion of her
territory on nice question OF boundary,
and Costa Rica may not always be ex-
empt from the ambitious advances of her
southern neighbors.'
Guatemala is the State which was de-
prived of portion of her territory by

MINNEAPOLIS MILLS.
The Oft.Repeated RumOr About
Their Changing Hands.

MINNEAPOLIS, October 2S.-The recent
report that the 9. g. Washburn mills
had been sold lie followed tonight by the
announcement that the sale OF the Pills
bury mills, and also of the Washburn
mills, is about to be consummated. For
the first time in connection with these
deals the price is given as regards the
Pillsbury interests. 1t is that the option
on the Pillsbury system of mills and
elevators calls for S., 100000. The pur-
chasers are the English syndicate here,
tofore mentioned, and the sale is on the
same plan as outlined in these dispatches
some time since. Pillsbury will retain
an interest in the new company.
When seen by reporter of the Associat-
ed Press late tonight and asked regarding
the sale of the mills, Pillsbury handed
him the following typewriter state
ment, in addition to which he would say
nothing eff our property is sold, it
will be to a joint stock company, in
which We shall retain very large in
terest, aud We shall have to agree to
continue in the management of the same.
The sale, if made, will be made to a
company organized in New York, or
some other eastern city, and 30 far as
the public is concerned, 1 cannot see
how it will affect them one way or the
other.

MINNEAPOLIS, October 90. The Board
of trade this morning appointed special
committee to serve through the winter,
whose business will be the collection and
distribution OF supplies in several coun-
ties in North and South Dakota. Addi
tional reports have been received here
concerning the distressing condition Of
things, and it is said at least 900 fami-
lies in South Dakota are in state Of

of South Dakota have authorized the
purchase of coal, but can do no more.
GOVERNMENT AID SOLICITED.
WASHINGTON, October S.-Represent-
alive Hansobrough, one of NorthDakota' q
new Congressman, called upon Secretary
Proctor today in the interest of the resi-
dents OF Ramsay county, that State. No
crops have been raised in two years, and
they are in destitute condition, as win
ter is approaching and they are unable
to purchase fuel. Hansborough has
asked Secretary Proctor to permit the
destitute settlers to cnt firewood from the
timber tract on DEVILS Lake reservation,
Fort Totem. The Secretary not being
certain as to his authority in the prem
ises, promised marlborough an answer
tomorrow. He feels inclined to grant
the request.

KANSAS CRY, October 2S.-Mayor
Davenport, this afternoon, slapped Con-
gresham Tsrsney in the face and mar
rowly escaped being shot. 1t was all on
account of the entertainment of the ALI
American tourists. The Mayor had We
toed, on the ground of unconstitution-
atty, an ordinance passed by the City
Council, appropriating 1000 for their
entertainment. The Council passed it
over his veto again, and the Mayor or
dered the City Treasurer not to recog-
nize drafts upon the treasury for that
purpose. At meeting of the committee
at the Commercial Club this afternoon,
Congressman Tarsney referred to the
Mayors action in uncomplimentsry
terms.
Mayor Davenport replied that if he
could help it not a cent of the city q
money would be used illegally, but he
would contribute from his pocket as
much as Tarsney or any other man for
the entertainment.
Tarsnev replied: 81 do not care to
resort to any pothouse measures"
Davenport asked the Congressman to
repeat his remarks.
Tarsney complied, but the words were
no sooner out of his mouth than the
Mayor dealt him resounding slap full
in the face. Tarsney reached into his
hip pocket ior his revolver, but his
friends prevented him from using the
weapon.

it was found to be changed in many i'm
portant details. This being so, the
whole matter had to 60 back to the
Board of Public Works for further
investigation and new decision of that
body. Meantime, the people on the
hills suffer all sorts of inconvenience from
the stoppage of the road, whose fran
chises we're granted solely and only for
their benefit. These people will be duly
gratified to the Council for any further
easement granted, SO as to vitalize the
moribund now lying in comatose state
along Second street; but not one iota of
further privilege ought to be granted,
excepting on the explicit conditions of
using new and old for the public good.
A primary condition ought to be that the

SUPREME COURT.
Interesting Test Case Concerning
California Affairs.

WASHINGTON, October 2S.-In the SUI
preme Court today motion was made
to advance the case of Cunningham,
Sheriff of San Joaquin county, CAL,
against David Neagle. This case arises
out of the sensational tragedy which re-
suited in the shooting of Judge David S.
Terry by Deputy Marshal Neagle while
protecting Justice Field from an assault.
A motion was made also to advance
the case of the People of the State OF
California against the San Pablo and
Tulare Railway Company. This suit
arises out OF the assessment of the prop
erty of the road at full cost value, with.
out deducting the value Of mortgages on
the road, as is done in the case of other
than railroad property.
1t is centended that the clause of the
State constitution which authorizes this
distinction to he made between railroad
and other property is contrary
to the Fourteenth Amendment
of the Constitution of the United
States. This is one of long list
of what are known as railroad tax cases,
which several times have been in court,
but the main point in which never has
been passed upon, the Court always de-
CHUNG Cno CHb6b DeIOT0 IL Oh 6Oul0 pOlut
that did not affect the direct question at
issue. 1t is believed the present case
presents this question of constitutionslity
of the special taxation of railroad prop
erty, in such way as to compel the final
definite settlement of the question, all
matters of an extraneous nature having
been excluded in order to make it test
case.
The Court advanced and set for hear
ing before the full bench the case of the
State Of Minnesota vs.. Henry Barber.
The point involved is the constitutional
ity of the State law providing for
the inspection Of all cattle before
slaughter, and making it illegal to cell
dressed meet that has not been inspected
before slaughter. The case is interest
ing to all dressed beef shippers.
Argument was begun in the United
States Supreme Court today in the case
of j. J. Mccall, agent in San Francisco
for the Erie railroad, who was arrested
and convicted of soliciting business for
his road without license, as required by
law.

PERUVIAN AFFAIRS.
CHINESE RAILROADS.
Picking to Have Communication
with the Outer world.

Win the outer world.
WASHINGTON, October 20. - Minister
DENLY, under date of September 10Th,
communicates to the State Department a
copy of the Imperial decree sanctioning
the construction of grand trunk railway
from Hankow to Peking. Ii Hung
Chang will build the northern half, and
Chi letting the southern half. DENLY
says: The Great Western is one of the
main roads for officials going to and from
the capital. The railway will immedi-
ately command large passenger traffic,
and soon large freight traffic. 1t has
the advantage also OF doing away with
the isolation of the capital, which during
three months of the year, from the mid
die of December to the middle of March,
is now cut off from communication with
the outer world. This railway will pass
through three provinces, Chilli, Honau
and Hulpst. Possibly it may traverse
Hansi also. 1t is supposed that no large
loan will be negotiated, but that the road
will be builtin sections, the money being
raised by degrees. The Government is
about to conclude loan of five million
taels at about per cent, to build the
first section from Esernt, five miles south
of Peking, to Cheng Ting. The Yellow
river will have 10 be bridged, and this
work will afford European and American
bridge builders an opening for compe-
titiOn.

WE ARE informed from what we be-
lieve to be reliable source that the re-
marks which were made by Senator Frye
at San Pedro were joculsr, and that that
gentleman is in reality a friend of this
section, that he has always co-operated
with the men who have been instru.
mental in the development of the harbors
on the Pacific Coast and proposes to do so
in the future. While we hold to the sub.
stantial accuracy of the HERALD's
report, we are of course only too
glad to accept Senator Frye's interpre-
tation of his own speech, and cheerfully
modify remarks made under a misappre-
hension of the distinguished gentleman's
views. They resulted in the expression
of some clear and cogent sentiments
from Senator Stanford, which were de-
livered with great energy and eloquence.
Now that we know it was all joke, we
regret the emphasis of our comments
upon remarks which, unexplained,
looked both gratuitous and brutal.

A BANK at Abilene, Kansas, made q
very disastrous failure yesterday, its
liabilities being set at 100000. The ex-
PLANTATION is vouchsafed that the depre-
citation, following the boom of 1884.
steadily dragged the bank down. Bust
ness is reported practically paralyzed by
the failure. Here is an event worthy of
more than a passing thought. Where
wildcat speculation takes possession of
people the banks are as sure to be
caught in the current and carried down
in the maelstrom as are private individ-
uals. Note that in Los Angeles there
has followed the dullness recently de-
veloped, after period Of unprecedented
excitement not one large failure
involving even one individual. There
have been few such in the whole section
around Los Angeles. And in the whole
section there has not been one bank
nor one business firm Of Importance that
has even tottered. The fact is our boom
was based for the most part on legiti-
mate influences. The city grew from e
hamlet into town of $4,000 people.
Were values in town lots to
undergo no rise? The country's re-
sources became known to some extent,
and her superb lands which were
going a-begging for purchasers at a song,
were discovered to have intrinsic merit
and corresponding value. The advance
in prices was not a bit too great, as a
general rule. Whatever initiation OF
values resulted has been reduced to the
normal level, and in many cases below
that level. There are people loaded up
with too much real property who are
willing to get out at sacrifice. Hence
result dead bargains in the best kind Of
property. The purchases now being
made are of this sort. The time for
these snaps will be gone by and by, and
then there will be another advance. Not
rapid, like in the immediate past, but an
advance all the same.

Needed Reformation.

PHILADELPHIA, October % Under the

citation a public meeting to discuss the
needed reformation of the divorce laws
in the United States, was called to-
gether this afternoon in the association
hall The association urges all clergy
men to impart sound instruction from
the pulpit in the moral law underlying
family relations, and calls upon them to
refuse to unite in marriage one or more
persons who have been divorced upon
other than Scriptural grounds. Ministers
are also urged to join in petitions and by
other manifestations to bring influence
to bear on Congress to secure the enact
ment of National marriage and divorce
law that will eradicate the evils which
now exist. Interesting addresses were
delivered, including statistics of Commits
sioner Carol D. Wright, of the Depart
ment of Labor at Washington.

Worthwhile, n. Y, October %. = A
tragedy occurred near here late Saturday
night. Oscar Barclay made himself no.
torious by visits to two women at the
house of Samuel Covington. Barclay e
father, his two brothers, and dozen
neighbors, disguised as White Caps, went
to Covington's house, took Covington
out, tarred and feathered him and rode
him ON rail. Going back for young
Barclay, he met them at the head of the
stairs with gun. AS the party came on
he fired, killing his youngest brother,
Fred. Barclay made no effort to escape
and was arrested yesterday afternoon.

THAT attempt to steal the State gov
eminent and thereby get two United
States Senators in Montana was a
bold stroke for power on the part of the
Republicans Of that new State. Nevada
and West Virginia dispute for the honor
of being known as the battle-born States
of the Union. If this bold stroke in
Montana succeeds no rival will dispute
with it the title Of the fraud born State.
1t is not 80 euphonious nor so alliterative
as the other sobriquet, but it will be just
as expressive and as lasting if success
should prove it ner:ted.

Mr.. CLEVELAND kept Republican in
Office in the New York postoffice, and
that postmaster kept an army of Repub-
licans under him. These underlings did
yeomen's service in the campaign OF
1883 in putting Democratic campaign
documents passing through the mails
where they would do least good. But
all this was not enough for the present
Administration, whose Civil Service
warnings before the election were 30
ardent. Mr.. Pearson had to get out to
make place for man with no suspicion
of mugwumpism about him. The new
man is a Jacksonian Democrat, in one
respect at least. He believes that to the
victors belong the spoils.

YESTERDAY the City Council did what
it ought to have done last spring in ref
erence to the sewage. 1t has now come
down to common sense basis of action,
but it is very doubtful if the action is not
TOO late. Bids are ordered advertised
for to take the sewage of the city for
periods of five, ten and fifteen years and
upwards. The sewage is to be delivered
ct two points on the city boundaries,
one at the southwest corner and one at
the place where the river crosses the
southern boundary of the municipal linn
it's. If this action had been taken
months ago, people stood ready to enter
into proper contracts to take the
sewage and use it. Had this mat
ter been put before the people in
this form even few months ago there
would have been several offers to take
it. But there has been so much wild
discussion of the question, 80 many mis-
leading statements have been made, 30
much feeling worked up, 30 great and so
ignorant prejudices created that it is
very far from certain what will be the
result. Nor was there any better reason
for abstaining from this rational and
proper course than the obstinate persist
ence OF those in charge to have their
own way whether the people liked that
way or not. However, the matter is
now, at last, before the people in the
way it ought to have come before them
at the beginning, and We shall still hope
for the best. Certainly it is now in
feasible form, and unless the minds of
the people are panic-stricken, a solution
of the difficulty will now be found.

ONE week from today the fall elections
take place in several Eastern States
They will be watched with some interest
by many people, and yet there is little
significance to be attached to them under
ordinary circumstances. Mr.. Harrison
is not liked so well today as he was a
year ago by his own party. Mr.. Matthew
Stanley Quay, of silent tongue and
doughty deeds, has been greatly snubbed
by the President; but we do not antici-
pate that such matter will change over
the big majority the party has in the
Keystone State, when the election is
purely on State issues. There has been
some tales of woe told in Ohio in
political circles since one year ago,
but it is not to be sup
posed that these will necessarily
lose to Mr.. Foraker any of his popularity.
New York see-saws a good deal in off
years, and this year there is some
apathy in politics in the Empire State.
Should Billy Malone carry Virginia ii
would mean something, or should we
lose New jersey, or our opponents fail to
get Ohio or Pennsylvania, such events
might set students of political history to
thinking. But if the Dutch take Hol-
land and the war stops there-what of it ?
