President to the All Americas Congress,
MaS III OulCdgo touay, Oh IOute EaSC.
He said: "Ihe public lands OF this

For years there has been sentiment of
indifference on the part of Americans to
anything but the development Of our own
resources. AS these have been appro-
priated, I think we now have come to the
point where we must look to
the resources of foreign countries.
This is the policy of all for.
eign nations, and we shall soon
have to make it ours. Hardly any new
country is richer than the islands of the
Pacific. We ought to begin by getting
their trade, and we can do it if we deserve
it. This is what the Slope will suggest.
Shipbuilding and the need of Pacific
cable will also be urged.

In REPLY to the communication of the
Secretary of the Los Angeles Electric
Light Company, we will say: 1st, That
Mr.. Lichtenberger, President of the Sixth
District Agricultural Association, ordered
at the Office of the company the lighting
of the electric lamps in the Pavilion. No
attention was paid to the order, and the
lamps are not lit. I'd. That the Electric
Light Company said thsy could not fur
nish electric lights to the City Hall
library room, because the wires put ia
the building were not their wires. The
wires permanently put in the building
are not bell wires, but the regular copper
wires for electric lights. Sd. We have
no means of measuring the power of the
street lights furnished; but the impress
sion is very strong that the illuminating
power claimed for them is not given.
4th. The President of the Council says
that the lighting Of this city will cost
$55, 900 this year, at the rate now charged
by the company.

VIM. P. st. John, Of New York, read

silver bullion each month, providing
not more than 99H cents or 412H grains
of silver he the amount of silver to be
contained in silver dollar; that with
the coinage of silver, the legal tender

legal tender. Referred to committee.
At this point the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners were brought in, es-
corted by Major William War

with short speeches to the calls
made upon them by the delegates.
In answer to loud calls for "Warner," !"
the Congressman was introduced by the
President as "a man who don't

to be excused from making a
speech. After the transaction OF
some routine business, the convention
adjourned until tomorrow. A grand ban

ST.. PAUL, September 25.-A local
paper says Conant, senior member of the
Boston bail club management, is ex-
pected in st. Paul tomorrow. Conant's
advent in the Northwest is indicative of
the policy the National League manage
ment will pursue with reference to the
brotherhood scheme. The object of the
visit Of the baseball manager is nothing
more nor less than the bodily transfer of
every team in the Association to the
National League for the next season.
The terms offered by the League are
liberal, and although the individual
players will receive no monetary ad-
vsncement, the local managers in each
of the western cities will be literally
recompenscd.

ST. LOUIS, September 5.-The Repub-
lie will print tomorrow, from Caldwell,
Ohio, special dispatch, giving copy
of letter said to have been received by
Private Dalzell from Commissioner Tan.
ner, under date of September 10th. In
it Tanner says that he is taking no part
in the duties OF his office, holding him.
self on leave until his successor qualities.
He refers to orders he issued while act.
ing, which he still thinks were good
ones, namely, that the thirty-three
thousand men on the pension roll at less
han four dollars month, should all Jun
less they had had a medical examination
within year, be ordered for examin-
alton before their home board with the
view of raising their pensions to
at least four dollars; and second,
that in the settlement Of pension
claims the proof OF private, il
man in good standing, should amount
to as much as an officer. The Acting
Commissioner, says Tanner, according
to local paper, revoked both these or
ders, under instructions of Noble or
Bussey. Tanner complains of this and
wonders how 'they are going to make
the boys believe there's no change of
policy"
He also complains of Acting Commis-
sioner Smith issuing an order stopping
all re-ratings. Tanner adds that he did
not resign until the President and Secre.
tary Noble both said that the report OF
the investigating committee con-
tanned no word which could
impeach his honesty in the slightest
degree. Then he had to consider
whether he was man enough to decline
to continue in a position where he knew
his official superiors did not desire him.
Il have not the slightest doubt" adds
he, "that would have been removed
had not resigned"
Tanner speaks in general way of his
belief that Secretary Noble was deter
mined on his removal, etc., and says all
they can charge him with is too much
liberality and too much speed in grant
ing pensions. OF the future, Tanner says
he knows nothing yet. He closes with
an appeal to Dalzell not to give him
cause to rsgret his freedom in writing
this letter by making any portion Of it
public.

fneries on the Coast, and it would be
necessary for Pacific Coast refiuers to
ship the raw material to New York and
refine it there. The rate to Humboldt
If adjusted at all, would have to be re-.
vised from San Francisco to New York,
and not lowered from the Missouri river
to Humboldt, if the Interstate Com
merce law is not violated.
The statistician of the At.bison. To-
peka and Santa Fe testified that the cost
of hauling sugar from San Francisco to
the Missouri river is Az mills per ton
per mile, and their charge is 5 lilo mill
per ton per mile, profit very small, and
which could not be lessened with con-
venience.
A good deal of testimony was taken in
reference to statements made by previous
witnesses concerning the rate on sugar
from San Francisco to New York by the
water route, and thence to Missouri
river points. This testimony was
corroborative in its nature. Among
the Witnesses were w. A. Bissell, ol
Alameda, California, General Traffic
Agent of the Union Pacific railroad 4; J.
A. Monroe, of Omaha, General Freight
Agent Of the Union Pacific; J. @. Gtubbs
General Traffic Manager Of the Southern
Pacific; ]. H. Turner, Assistant General
Freight Agent of the Texas Pacific; w.
L. Q. Steel, ex President of the Chambe
of Commerce of San Francisco, and
formerly a heavy dealer in sugar; w. D.
Clark, agent for ocean vessels at San
Francisco carrying freight to New York.
The Commission gave the complain
ants sixty days to file briefs after getting
testimony, and the defendant railway
companies we're given like time after
getting the complainants' brief.

Collapse of the Big Bend
Mining Scheme.
TWO MILLION DOLLARS SUM
Rube Burrows Turns Up in Texas
Another Storm ON the New
Jersey Coast.


Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD }
New YORK, September 25.-A Times
special from Buffalo, N. T., says: One of
the largest mining enterprises of late
years has collapsed, and the net loss is
1900 900. The enterprise alluded to is
the Big Bend Tunnel and Mining Com
pany, with its principal Office in this
city, and a branch at Big Bend,
Butte county, California. The field
of operations is at the latter place.
The capital stock of the company is
500, ,0OO, 900. Two mil ions have been paid
in and sunk almost beyond redemption,
it is feared by the stockholders. TIE
President of the Company is Hon.
Ray V. Pierce, M. D., of this city.
DR.. Pierce is at the head Of the enter
prise, and owns from sixty to seventy
per cent of the stock The shareholders
are widely scattered throughout the
country, and some of them are doubtless
feeling pretty blue over their exploded
vision Of fabulous wealth to be derived
from the possession of stock in the Big
Bend scheme.
The Feather river, in Butte county,
California, is rich in its deposits of gold,
and the north fork of the river, called
Big Bend, was always considered
particularly rich in the way OF
gold deposits in its gravelly
bed. About FIVE years ago DR.. Pierce
organized the Big Bend Tunnel and
Mining Company. The scheme was to
divert the stream from its natural bed
through huge tunnel; thus exposing
the rich gold deposits supposed to be
lying along the bottom of the river. The
bed has been drained, and contains far
more gravel and bolders than gold. So
many are the boulders in fact that it
costs az much to get them out of the way
as the gold found amounts to.
In an official bulletin announcing the
failure of the scheme, DR.. Pierce says :
"But after all our efforts and much as
we regret to acknowledge the fact, yet
We are quite prepared to admit that at
present we see no prospect of realizing
our former expectations with respect to
these mines"

KANSAS CRY, September Is The
Interstate Commerce Commission re-

was devoted to hearing witnesses in the
case begun yesterday by Lsmann, Hig-
gineon & Co., of Humbold I, , Kan. against
the Southern Pacific and other com.
panies, in which it is charged that they
discriminate against them on freight
charges on sugar shipped from San
Francisco. The commission went into
the whole question of transcontinental
rates, and took great mass of testi-
mony.
Vice. President Goddard, of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe, testified that
the rate charged by his road was not a
discrimination against coInplainants
that the rate to the Missouri river was
the sum of the rates by water to Mis-
souri, river points, in favor of which the
complainants testified they were discrim-
mated against. The rate was not made
overland from San Francisco to Hum
boldt; therefore, although that city is
nearer San Francisco than Missouri river
points. there is no discrimination.
A. B. Spreckels, son of the sugar
king, testified that the rate now by rail

speech General Sherman said: "We
fought the holiest war ever fought on

suit was accomplished from that
war than from any Cesariap

nothing but slavery; the people in the
South lost that. They bet on the wrong
card and lost. fCheers.] Now they are
betting on another card. They consented
to the amendments to the Constitution
as a point OF concession for not
being otherwise punished, and they
came back into the Union with q five.
fifths vote for their representation in
Congress, instead OF three fifths. It isn't
right, it isn't honest, IL isn't

a soldier knight will do. There.
