Red River Opened to COmmerce-Custom-
houses Established.
WASHINGTON, October 19th.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury yesterday received a
letter from the Secretary of State inclosing
a COPY of a dispatch received from the
American Minister to China, under date of
August 23d, reporting the opening of the
Long Hoi or Red river to trade and the
establishment of custom-houses at certain
places located thereon. The letter sets
forth as follows: By the trade regulations
for the Anam frontier, jointly determined
on by France and China. signed April %,
1866. it was provided that two places
should be be opened for trade. one to the
north of Langson, viz; LuBgchow, in
Kwangsi, and the other above Laokay-
Mengtsn, in Tiennan. Af,erward, in 1887,
it was further provided that MaDghai,
which lies between Laokay and Mengtsn,
should also be opened to trade. By the
regulations it was agreed that China should
establish custom-houses at these places,
and France should have the right to send
Consulsithither.
In accordance with this Convention
France has now installed q Consul at
Mengtsn. The Long Hoi or Red river
empties into the Gulf of Tonquin. Hanoi
is situated on it, as are Lsozay, Mercha
and Mengtsn. 1t is said that one of the
principal objects OF France in securing
Tonquin was to open up this river to trade
For some time the Red river was supposed
to be of little value for other than boat nav
igalion. Within few weeks steamer of
the Compagnie des Messageries, the Lao-
kay, successfully assembled the river to
Laokay. and is now on the descent thereof
with cargo. The Laokay was especially
built for the ascent of the rapids, and took
ground only once. Foreign goods lmpol ted
by this route are to pay 70 per cent. Ct the

His Only Trust is the One on the Silver
Dollar.


His Only Trust is the One on the Silver
Dollar.
PHILADELPHIA, October 10th. = Claus
Spreckels. the sugar refner, arrived here
from San Francisco this evening. He will
at once set to work making preparations
for the opening of his big refinery here.
He is very sanguine, and thinks as soon as
his refinery gets fairly started the sugar
trust will find he is in earnest.
Spreckels said tonight that many false
reports had been circulated to the effect
that his new refinery here will never be
operated by himself He enters general
and unqualified denial of all these reports.
Mr.. Spreckels has addressed letter to
Boston and New York papers which pub
lished the reports, in which he says in
part:
my refinery in Philadelphia was not
built to be sold, and l have never had the
least intention of disposing of it, although
numerous propositions have been made to
me to do so. l have never entered into
negotiations with the sugar trust upon any
single occasion, but the sugar trust has APP
preached me upon several occasions. 1
have purchased raw sugar, it is true, and
intend TO pay, myself, every dollar of
duty upon such purchase
II have no knowledge that the trust in
tends to pay the duties ana make present
OF the amount, but l shall certainly refine
the whole of the raw sugar 1 have pur-
chased, in my own refinery, and for my
own benefit.
"As far as I am concerned, there has
been no collision and no attempt at collu-
sion between the trust and myself, l never
asked the trust to purchase my California
refinery and never named sum for which
it could be bought, but l have been asked
to sell it, and have been asked to Join the
trust, but l absolutely declined both prop
ositions.
"My California refinery is not and never
was for sale. My Philadelphia refinery
has been built for the purpose l originally
stated, and from which have never once,
even in thought, deviated.
As long as l am alive, it is my inten-
ton 10 engage in the business entirely upon
my own account and without the interior
ence or cooperation of any other individu-
ais"
81 do not need and never have needed
assistance from Others, and certainly have
no use for sugar trust.
The experience of the past two years
have shown that those who refused to Join
trust have acted wisely, and Jared very
much better than those who were foolish
enough to enter into such an illegal COM
bination."

AUBURN, October 19;h.-The electric
light plant is in full operation tonight.
Most of the hotels, the Music Hall and
many private residences are brilliantly
lighted. The town is celebrating with a
brass band and bonfires and the Salvation
Army is singing louder than usual.
This is the third hurrah for Auburn in
side of two years. First, water under
pressure of $50 feet; next, incorporation,
and tonight electric lights. There are over
twelve miles of heavy copper wire. The
power is furnished from the Bear River
Canal, with 20 feet pressure, giving an
estimated 150-horse power-enough for
mills and factories during the day time.
When the arc lights are running at the
park they can be seen from Sacramento.
The next improvement will be street cars.

MINING COMPANY TROUBLE.
A Treasurer Who Refuses to Turn tn
Books Over to the Auditor.

A Treasurer Who Refuses to Turn the
Books Over to the Auditor.
BosToN October 19th.-There is decided
embarrassment in the affairs of the Homer
inc Mining Company, of Utah. The audi
tors, Mr.. Howe and Charles Kenney, have
repeatedly, during the past two months, re-
quested the books from Treasurer Murray,
but said they had been stoutly refused their
lawful right to investigate the standing of
the company.
Kenney, as last resort, recently APP
pealed to one of the heaviest stockholders
of the company, Wilson w. Fay, a stock
broker AT meeting of the stockholders
of the company at Portland, Maine, some
time ago, Fay was instrumental in the APP
pointment of commission TO investigate
the affairs of the company.
1t was thought by Fay that the affairs
were not all right, and that an investiga-
ton was necessary, and he demanded it.
Fay said this afternoon ~ have decided
no longer to allow certain men holding
books of the Honerine Mining Company to
refuse to place them in the hands of Mr..
Keveney, the auditor. They have bull
dozed us long enough, and |, as holder of
4o, 600 shares of the stock. demand that the
report of certain significant runners be
proved true or false. Many believe there
is trouble, and if any State Prison offense
has been committed we must know it."
The case was reported to the Superin-
tendeRt of the Police this morning, and
the department will render all the assist
ance possible.
The Treasurer. Mr. Murray. is employed
as clerk in the Office of Bradley, Hastings &
Co., Fort Hill square, iron merchants.

Lumberren and Sheepmen to be Legis-

FRESNO October 19th.-At meeting OF
the prominent cilizens OF Kern, Tulsre,
Fresno, Mariposa and MERGED counties,
held at Hughes Hotel this afternoon, Tip
ton LINDSAY. of Tu'are county, was elected
Chairman and Hon. E J. Griffith, OF
Fresno, Secretary.
The Object of the meeting is to form plans
of CO operation OF these COM ties for men,
orializing Congress to Withdraw all the
Government laud comprised in certain
boundaries in the Sierra mountains from
the market, and TO make thereof national
park.
Sheepmen are in the habit of running
their hocks on these lands every summer,
and usually set out many fires during the
season, which devastate the broad areas OF
grass and timber.
Lumbermen also are entering this land
as fast as possible, cutting off the timber
and leaving the mountains nude, the re-
suit of all of which has q telling interior
ence with natures vast cold storage" sys-
tenn upon the mountain sides and dimin-
ished fall of snow and rain each year,
which will shortly have a telling effect
upon the sections of country dependent
upon irrigation.
Many enthusiastic speeches were MADE,
and finally committee of eight was az
pointed to draft memorial, the same to
be sent forward to the California members
of that body for presentation at the next
session.
Just now there is unwonted activity in
Fresno. A large force of men are laying
long lines of sewers along the principal
streets and another is putting down
asphaltum pavement and the burned dis
trict is being rebuilt as fast as men can
pile up mortar and brick.

An Eloping Couple from Ireland De-
tanned at Castle Garden.
New YORK, October 19th.-A tall, slen-
der and rather distinguished looking man,
probably thirty-fiye years old, was one OF
the first passengers to land from the steam
ship Germanic yesterday. He was George
r. lie Hunt, of the county Wexford, Ire
land, whose sister Mary eloped to this
country with her fathers gardener, John
Burns, on the steamer Aurania, which ar
rived last Monday night, and who was de-
tanned at Castle Garden by the Emigration
Com missioners at the cabled request Of her
father.
George LIE Hunt, the brother, is said to
have been the Governor of the FIJI Islands
at one time, and now holds Government
office in India The family is very wealthy
and old.
When asked why she wished to leave
home, and why she bad not informed her
parents and get their consent, the girl
seemed confused, but finally said she knew
they would not wish her come. She made
several admissions, however, which tended
to confirm the belief that she and the gar
dener had been planning the elopement for
some time.
Mr.. LIE Hunt seemed to think that Bryan
was the sole one to blame for the elope-
ment, and was very anxious that the gar
dener should be returned also. Bryan
himself desires to remain in America,
promising to send for his wife and children
if he is allowed to stay, and to hold no
further communication with Miss LIE Hunt.
The Collector will decide his case before
the steamer sails to-day. 1t is certain that
if he goes he will receive hot reception in

MISSISSIPPI POLITICS.
A Strong Letter From the Republican
State Committee.

State Committee.
New ORLEANS, October 19th-A Times
Democrat Jackson, Miss, special says the
Republican State Executive Committee
met here to-day to consider the withdrawal
of General Chalmers from the head of the
State ticket.
The committee issued the following
"As Republicans of Mississippi we are
compelled to withdraw our State ticket, as
we know our votes would be stolen and
our voters driven from the polls, but we
hoped in the larger towns and cities at least
semblance of free speech might still re-
main to us, but our candidates are not
safely allowed to discuss or protest.
I'VE desired especially TO go before the
whole people of theState and challenge the
Democrats to a comparison of principles
and records.
when the armed revolution of 1875
wrested the State from US, Mississippi was
the only Southern State unburdened with
a State debt. She has a Democratic one
to-day. Mississippi is governed by mi
nority despotism, and we appeal to our
country for redress"
THE Constitution that we adopted is the
only one in the South so satisfactory
that it had not been changed. Our laws
stand substantially unchanged and unre-
pealed, but we are Republicans, and this is
our only offense.
For fourteen years, ever since the infa-
nous Mississippi plan was adopted, our
path has been marked by the blood of our
slain. Not only well-known leaders who
bravely died, but the faithful followers
known only in the cabins of the lowly
I'VE refer not only to such we'll known
slaughters as Kemper and Copiah, Clinton
and Carrollton, VIM. Hallak and Vicks-
burg, Yazoo City and Leflore, but to the
nameless killing by the creek in New Or
leans, by the bayou, on the highway.
These are Democratic arguments which
crush US. We can do no more. We dare
no longer carry our tattered and blood
stained Republican flag. We appeal to the
nation, and ask is national law and honor
but delusion and snare? When we
rely upon the guarantees of the National
Constitution do we but lean upon broken
reed. If so, announce the policy boldly
and acquit US Of further effort.
