A BONANZA IN CHINA.
Discovery of the Richest
Gold Mine Known.
A COSTLY PLANT PROPOSED.
Negotiations Made In Chicago for
Four Million Dollar
Stamp Mill.

CHIcAao, Feb, 1i-A conference OF
great importance was held here to-day
between two Chinese dignataries and
the representatives of the big machin-
cry firm of Fraser IL Chalmers Of this
city.
The result was that negotiations were
formally entered into, looking to the
construction of a 300.stamp mill In the
mountains of China. The magnitude OF
the deal may be understood, when II Is
stated that the mill, set up complete,
will cost nearly $4,000 600, this includ-
ing the transportation, erection, skilled
labor, etc.
The Chinese Informed them that there
had been discovered In China the richest
and most extensive gold bearing lead In
the world. The Chinese for many years
have known that In the mountains of
Tai Shan, In the province of Shan Tung,
there had been gold, but not until year
ago did they realize the extent of IL,
when some one who had worked IN the
mines and mills In California began pros.
pecting and discovered the bonanza.
They erected rude mill and from the
outset the product OF gold was enormous.
They claim that not ton of ore taken
out has yielded less than 500, while
much OF II has run into the thousands.
The matter was kept quiet, and big
stock company was formed that secured
the control of about eighty square miles
OF land In this vicinity, and tlie two Chi.
nninen now here were sent To this coun-
try to make the preliminary arrange
ments for the purchase of machinery,
etc, and al so to float certain portion
OF the stock.
Chee Ling Klan and Ton Sing Kon
landed In San Francisco two months
ago and had no difficulty in disposing of
the stock 10 wealthy Cinnamon in that
city. From here they have gone to
Washington.
In an interview one of them said that
the gold property is ON peninsula,
across the Corean sea from the peninsula
of Corea and directly west. II is. he
said, within ten miles of the sea coast
and not more than twonty miles from
Goodport. They contemplate erecting
the finest plant In the world
During the day there was a great hub
bub among the well.to-d Cinnamon OF
Chicago, and fully u score of them
called ut the hotel and talked with their
countrymen. The visitors are richly
attrcd, and wear mandarin buttons.

MR.. MILLER'S REPORT.
Operations of the Circuit
Court in Florida.
INFAMOUS ELECTION FRAUDS.
Documentary Evidence Showing
the Diffioulty in Bringing Of
tenders to Justice.

WASHINGTON, Feb. lathe attorney
general, la response to the senute reso-
luton asking for information concern
ing the operations of the circuit court
for the Northern district Of Florida, laid
his report before the sena'r to-day. II
consists mainly of letters from the ofil.
cials of the court. setting forth that Il
was impossible to enforce any process oi
the United States in connection with the
election cases, as the deputies were
abused, prisoners rescued and witnesses
terrorized.
United States Attorney Stripping, In a
letter, informs the attorney general that
Saddler supervisor of registration OF
Alacahua county, pleaded guilty to two
indictments for refusal to register per
sons entitled to registration. His vio-
lations of the law were fragrant, but
in view of his confession Of guilt,
promises of no repetition, ETC., some
prominent republicans, Stripping says.
importuned him not to pass Judgment
against saddler until December 10, and
in the meantime to release him OH 81,
900. Tho purpose OF this, the district at
torney says, was ultimately to have the
judgment hnall suspended. He recon-
mends that the arrangement be carried
out.
Philip Walter, chief supervisor of reg
istration, reports the facts in the SaddleT
case, anu adds: II ass"re you that
put It mild when infori.. you that over
10000 republican votes were thrown out
after they We're cast, and that in little
upwards of 200 precincts in the state. at
leust ten persons in every precinct were
kept Oft of the registration lists, ami
thereby deprived OF the right TO vote"
In answer to Attorney Stripping :
recomm, ndation regarding Saddler. At
torney General Miller. OH the 3lst OF
November, 1889, wrote: ut does rot
comport with my views of the ad dminis-
tratiOn ofthc law that one so evidently
guilty of a grave crime should entirely

THE PANAMA CANAL.
TIE Work az the French Commission
ers AhOut COnnpIeteh.

PAsANA, Feb. i3.-The work Of the
French canal commissioners is rapidly
approaching completion. There are all
sorts OF runors, but the concensus oi
opinion Is that the choice of plans will
lie between tho santerean and the Col
river, The former Is too well known TO
need any description. The latter con-
slsts of a sea level canal at Bahia, where
It Is propo'ed to place the first lock.
There willalso be located a double lock
at Rock Cut In the Same section of Ia
lila, aud from that point to Paraiso the
distance will be covered by an interior
lake. Al tl.o latter point Ia Pnrniso an
ther lock VIII De placed, as well AS one
Pedro Mieeual aud one at AliraNorcs,
rom which last point there Will lie am
other sea.level canal to tue Pacific ter
minus. Tho estimate of the plan Is
about the same as that proposed by
way Of the sgnterean, 5000 OVD francs.

OF such charges, but apart from the
charges against the leaders there sti III re-
mains re,itltum of charges too serious

torate TO estimate alike the acquittal of
Parneil and the condemnation of Dnyltt,
although honor Is due to Dayitt that he
was the chief denunciator Of crimes and
outrnges."
PRACTICAL AcouirrAL.
The News says that the report OF
the Parnell commission amounts to n
practical acquittal, and that the basis OF
"Parnellism and Crime" with the hide
Gus superstition raised upon II, disap-
pears from view.
THE TINES LEAVES THE PUBLIC TO JUDGE.
The Times leaves II to the public to
Judge whether the report does not con-
firm, although in coloricss, guarded and
judicial language, the main part Of the
statements in the articles on "ParneIllsm
and Crime"
THE rELEeBAPH.
Tho Telegraph says; "Upon all ofthe
serious charges the verdict is not guilty
or not proved. The issues upon which
the verdict is against the respondents are
those as to which tho majority Of the
English public have already pronounced
all informal verdict of guilty"
THE CHRONICLE.
The Chronicle says; The history Of
Parnellism and crime, from its birth to
Its burial in this report is the history Of
the most col ossal flasco in political
journalism Of v ictoria's era.'
THE STANDARD.
The Standard says; "While the YER
dict iayors the accused upon few OF
the most heinous charges, there Is more
than enough to substantiate all that has
been generally believed of the conneC-
tion between the home rulers and the
conspirators.

LONDON Feb. H.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says; "Tho report OF the
special commission is more complete
vindication Of tho Parnellites and a
more sweeping condemnation OF the
Times than tho most sanguine home
rulers have ventured to hope for iftho
view OF the unionist press is right that
the report conyicts the Parnellites as
criminal conspirators what must the
ministers do with them2 They
can not expell them from the
commons. On the contrary they have
promised already to Introduce bill
handing over the local government OF
Ireland TO these convicted criminals.
The ministers must disassociate them
selves publicly from such Views. Other.
wise they will find themselves in an en-
barrassing dilemma"
The Gazette admits that the judges
dealt honestly with the facts ptasenied
to them, but says that they had preju-
dices. '"rhey were Impartial In their
conclusions II says, "but have shown

ROUTE TO THE COAST.
vice President Ciough Selecting .
Terminus for the Great Northern.


ST. Paul, Feb. li.--W. p. Clough,
vice president of the Great Northern, is
now ON the Pacific coast locating. 1t Is
said, the coast terminus OF the Great
Northern railway. Generally IL has
been supposed the point settled on for
this purpose would be located some
where on Puget sound. but IL Is now
pretty well understood tho new line
will not stop there, but go on to the
coast proper. Surveys have been
made to number of points and the
most feasible Is said TO be that to Gray's
Harbor. Not only will the road to this
point be easy of construction, but the
place itself will, It Is said, make q better
terminus than that Of any OF the trans
continental lines IL is said to have the
very best harbor on the entire coast.
Nothing can be learned regarding the
route Of the extension west from Mon
tana. Probably q dozen surveys have
been made, but whether or not a selec-
ton has been made those In Q position
to know will not state. II Is expected,
however, that some official announce
ment will soon be made, and that work
upon tho line will then be commenced
