Mcconnell. Pat and Patsy Sullivan, Pat
LOTUS. These people are always fighting
and have frequently figured in the courts.
On Sunday last they had a
regular Kilkenny fight and the
Spellmans got the worst of it.
Pat Spellman looked an ideal McGintv
as he appeared in court yesterday, and his
app appearance was strongly suggestive of that
well known gentleman after he metS with
the accident on the ladder. Speiiman
walked in limping with a long stick, his
face Scared and shirt, spattered with the
blood of Sunday night, and he trembled ali
over. but was as usual vigorous with his
tongue.
It appears that Sunday night Patsy Sn,-

nexation.
a Wealthy Land Company Said
to be Back Of the
Scheme.
The Policy Of Mexican OmciaJs Ruinous
to the Country-Plans for . Gem
eral Uprising.

SAN Francisco, May 21.-The Chronicle
devotes four columns to giving the COM
plete details of the alleged conspiracy to
capture Lower California and found an in
dependent republic. The revelations claim
to involve number of prominent capital
lists interested in Lower California lands
and mines and we'll known citizens of Los
Angeles and San Diego. which latter city
appears to have been headquarters.
The general outline of the plan, it is
claimed, was for the Mexican Land and
Colonization company, composed of
wealthy Englishmen owning concessions on
tpe peninsula, to place in the hands of a
well known San Diego capitalist, 100000
70 TO- De used IN advancing the interests of the
English company at Ensenada was
to be filed with arms, ammunition and
provisions for use of the revolutionists.
Officers of the English corporation claim
that the policy of the Mexican officials in
Lower California has been ruinous to the
land interests of the land company, which
has been obliged to spend thousands Of dol
lars In protecting its interests, and the sal
yatlon OF the company, they assert, finally
depends upon securing the annexation Of
Lower California to the United States. A
lobby has been working at Washington in
tne companys interest. but as the prospects
OF congressional action ere unfavorable. a
nllbustering expedite ,as fixed upon.
Two propositions We're discussed. One
was to capture Ensenada, the other was to
introduce large number of Americans on
to the peninsula, ostensibly as railroad la
borers, capture the Mexican man-of-war
Tomocearta. and ct the same time give a
picnic and ball in houor of Mexican officials
and IN the midst of the festivities capture
the garrison and seize the roads and tele-
graph lines. Simultaneous risings at Alamo
and Tia Juana were to take place.
Several meetings in March and April were
held by the projectors of the expedition and
at one of them these facts became known
to a newspaper representative. When the
peninsula had been seized provisional
government was to be declared, on or about
August lat, and martial law was to be en-
forced: The land Of the peninsula was to
be nationalized, and after peaceful order
OF things had been secured, negotiations
for annexation to the United States would
follow. The names of the projectors were
given. and the treasurer of the company. a

REPUBLICANS DISAGREE.

Jones and Farwell Interpret the Platform
Differently.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The resignation of
Sergeant-atArms Canaday was received and
laid on the table.
The silver bill was taken up and Stewart
proceeded to address the senate. He ar
gued that the demonetization of silver had
depressed the prices of commodities from
30 to 40 per cent and remonetization would
produce good times again. The object of
the silver men was to furnish more money,
to stop contraction, to relieve the debtor
and producer and preserve to the people
their rights of property and liberty. The
republican party had incorporated in
its national platform a declaration in favor
of both gold and silver and
condemnine the policy of the democratic
administration in its efforts to demonetize
silver. The bill recommended by the sec
retary of the treasury, and supported by
senators Sherman and Dolph, was a cum
ming device to stop the present coinage Of
