PLENTY OF PELF.
There Gold in the Mountain-Silver il
the Mine.

Captain Peter Taylor, superintendent
OF the Victoria Silver Mining company,
whose mine and mill are in the San
Gabriel canon, was in the city day or
two ago. He had fine silver brick
with him, the product OF little run at
the mill. He says this is only sample
OF the stuff. 1t is merely a shadow of
the coming events. There is lots of good
ore in sight, and plenty of it to come,
too.
The Kelsey company has big gang of
men at work in their mine, and the indi-
cations are good there, too. A third
anime in the immediate vicinity is that
owned by Mr.. Robbins and his asso-
ciates. Mr.. Taylor thinks this is an ex-
cellent property.
''The district will astonish the natives
before long," said this experienced
miner.

SCRANTON, PA.-The democratic state con-
vention. after adopting the platform here
given. nominated Ex-Governor Pattison on
the first ballot.
The platform among other things declares:
That the election laws should be SO changed
as to eliminate the marked ballot clause SO
as to secure the secrecy of the ballot, and
freedom to the voter.
That tariff reform is necessary, SO that
manufacturers may have free raw materials,
and that laborers may be relieved from tax
upon the necessaries of life.
That We recur with pride to e1-President
Cleveland's administration, and challenge
comparison.
That we favor such coinage of silver as
will keep both gold and silver in circulation,
or treasury notes redeemable in the same.
That we depounce unequal apportionment
of districts fol election of representatives.
We accept the issue of Quayism rendered by
the republican convention.
We denounce the dictatorship of Speaker
Reed.
The republican party is denounced for
open disregard ct the civil service law; for
fsithlessness 20 ::hhee Soldiers; for ceaseless
enorts to promote sectional strife: for its
lavish expenditures of public moneys; for
the passage through the house of the McKin-
ley bill; for the attempt to pass federal
election law, and finally and especially Its in
difference to the rights of labor.

WASHINGTON D. c., July 2.-Congressman
Morrill,, of Kansas, was paid a pretty COM
pliment by President Harrison. Mr.. Nor
rill is chairman of the committee on invalid
pensions, and drafted the disability pension
bill which has become law. The measure
was introduced in the house early in the
present session, and through Mr.. Morrill, s
efforts the bill, with some few features added
by the senate, finally passed congress and
was sent to the president.
Mr.. Harrison took up the bill and after
due consideration he was ready to attach his
signature thereto. He then sent a special
messenger to the capitol inviting Represent
ative Morrill, to come to the White house and
witness the signing of the bill. Mr.. Morrill,
was much pleased at the compliment, and
proceeded to the White house. He was at
hand when the president signed the docu-
ment, and as further compliment to the
Kansan Mr.. Harrison presented to Mr.. Nor
rill the pen with which the signature was
written. The pension bill carries an annual
appropriation of about $50, ,000, 600, and un-
der the pleasant instance above noted it be-
comes law.

The Leavenworth Fight.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, July Am interest
ing point is apt to be raised when Judge Gro
zier grants the abating orders asked for by
Assistant Attorney General Black. Judge
Crozier advised Mr.. Black to apply for or
ders empowering him, by turning them over
to the proper authorities, to abate as nui-
sances all places where liquors are sold In
violation of an injunction previously granted.
In the present state of affairs here, to give
these orders to any of the county officials
would be mere farce, as the law would be
evaded in every instance where evasion was
at all possible. The county officers are not
given the orders to serve, the city marshal is
the proper official to be charged with their
serving. ]. G. Doane is at present only act
ing marshal, the position of chief of police
having been vacant since the retirement of
Marshal Robinson. The point that would be
raised would be that, as Mr.. Doane is not
marshal. he would not be person legally
competent to proceed in the premises. An
ticipating such point Colonel Anthony. at
the last meeting of the board of metropolitan
police commissioners, introduced a resolu-
ton to remove Mr.. Doane's legal disabilities
by appointing him marshal. Colons. Aber-
nathy was absent. Colonel Anthony voted
aye and Mr.. Lowe no and the appointment
was not made. 1t is very likely that some
action will be taken before the orders are
granted, as they will utterly fail of their
purpose if the marshal does not secure them.

The Heated Term.

CHIcAGo.-Dispatches from numerous
points in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin say
that although there was a slight fall in the
temperature Sunday, it was not enough to af-
ford much relief. A great many prostratlons
and number of deaths are reported.
The number of deaths from direct cases of
sunstroke and cases due to heat is largely in
excess of those reported in the papers. At
the office of the coroner this morning the
scene was busy one. The clerks were kept
busy attending to death announcements over
the telephone, while the coroner and his de-
puties busted themselves preparing for the
inquests booked for to-day. At nine clock
this morning over forty entries of deaths
caused by the heat were made in the coroner's
assignment book and when the day is over
the coroner aid his men will have had in
quests in various parts of the city from the
Indiana state line to the northern boundry and
from the lake TO the western boundary of the
county. the mercury at noon Is still over
50, but it is announced that cool wave ex-
tending from Texas to Canada is steadily
sweeping Chicago-war and will, when it
arrives, drive the mercury down to 20 de-
grees. The Western Union noon weather
bulletin shows: ST. Louis, cloudy, "a; Cedar
Rapids, clear. so; Burlington, clear, about
80: Des Moines. partly cloudy, 80; Omaha,
cloudy. 50.
Bloomington, Aurora and Elgin report the
highest temperature, the mercury having
registered from 100 to 104 in the shade in
those cities yesterday.

Central American Troubles.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Further par
ticulars, giving complete insight into the
recent disturbances in San Salvador, Central
America, have just been brought to light
from semi-official sources. The sudden
death of General Menendez, president of
eral Carlos Ezeta and the attitude of Guata-
mala in the present crisis, all have bearing
toward each other, and tend to show the pos
sible outcome of the difficulty.
There is feeling which pervades all Gen.
trail America just now that the ratification of
the Central American unicn, which was
agreed upon by the delegates of the five re-
publics of Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, in Salvador in
December last, will not be completed on the
18th of September next.
In the first place the treaty of the union
has to be ratified by each of the individual
congresses of the separate states, and this
has not yet been done by either Nicaragua or
Costa Rica. The treaty will only come be-
fore the Costa Rlca congress in next Decem-
Der and before that of Nicaragua in February
of next year. as there has been no session OF
congress in the latter republic this year.
1t is pretty clearly given to understand by
those two named republics that neither one
of them will ratify the Central American
union compact, As they are assured that
scheme is on foot whereby it is intended that
the Guatamala element shall predominafe.
Neither the Nicaraguans nor the Costa Ricans
have superabundance of love for the Guata-
malans. e-he reasons are historical ones,
and need not be repeated here.

RAIRIGH, N. c., July 4.-William Hill and
party Of negro s'exodusters," who left New
Hanover county for Arkansas, have just 70.
turned. They make affidavit as to their
treatment there and their story Is horrible
one.
There were 600 in their party, and all had
been promised good wages. They were vir-
tnally sold to labor contractor, who, when
he was notified by the poor negroes that they
could not work for 50 cents a day, said that
was all he would give.
He seized all their personal effects. Some
families were put in horse stables and Others
In old outhouses, while some had to remain
on the banks of the river without shelter. All
were guarded like criminals and revolvers
were drawn on them to force them to terms.
They were within twelve miles of Louisi-
ana and were unable to get on the steamer
without a pass. They got away and went to
another point, where they were halted by
men armed and mounted, who demanded
where they were going and by whose au.
thOrity.
Inc last sale OF these people was made in
sold 600 of ther. for $500. ' WIZ

Denver VIII Count Again.

DENVER, COL, July 5.-The unofficial re-
port of Census Supervisor Sopris, that the
population of Denver would not exceed 49,
900, has created no little Indignation among
the citizens of this city. Hundreds of letters
have been sent to the city officials giving the
names of those who had been missed by the
enumerators. On the strength of these re-
ports the Rocky Mountain News made prop
Osltlon to made a canvass of the city at their
own expense and turn the result over to the
supervisor. The citizens committee having
this matter in charge. called meeting for
The purpose of considering Colonel Atkins
proposition. Colonel Atkins stated that the
expenses would be in The neighborhood of
5000, and he would begin work immedi-
ately providing consent was given. After
some discussion it was agreed to raise the
money by subscription, there being a differ
ence only between the News and the COM
mittee as to the mode of doing the work.
The money was secured in an hour, and men
sent out all over the city. The result of the
lays work was nearly 5000 names that had
never been taken. 1t is estimated that it
will take seven days to complete the work.

Appeal Against Tyranny.

k1SGF1sHER, I. T., July 5.-There is great
dissatisfaction in the Oklahoma towns over
the manner in which the townsite law is to be
carried into effect. The following telegram
has been sent to the president from this
place:
To the president:-The townsite commits
sioners have no natural sympathy with the
poor people of Oklahoma, and knowing
nothing of the situation and conditions Of
things here, under the instructions of the
secretary of the interior, have it in their
power, if disposed, to prolong their employ
ment to bankrupt our towns and distress our
people. For Gods sake do something, if
possible, to relieve US of this threatened op-
preston. The people of Oklahoma have al
ready patiently borne greater wrongs than
any other body of loyal Americans have ever
before been called upon to endure. The un-
dersigned are the legally qualified village
trustees, appointed under the laws of the ter
ritory. John Miles, d. w. Solomon, c. P.

Frightful Oil EXPLOSION.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July BY an explosion
at the Standard Oil refinery three persons
were instantly killed and thirty-fiv wounded.
The fire broke out at S:45 o'clock, and was
in many respects remarkable one. The
refinery is On the east side of the L. tS n.
railroad track, but the tanks are scattered
along it on both sides. On last Saturday a
tank of crude oil came on fiat car from
Cleveland, and it was to be turned into the
refinery watts. Some of the workmen thought
the iron tank was too hot for such a thing to
be done with safety. After consultation it
was postponed IN the hope that the weather
would be cooler; it did not prove to be, how
ever, and 1t became necessary to run the oil
out of the car tank to another one in the
yard. Inspector Severn Skeney took John
Pettigrew and another workman with him
and they climbed on the car. They mounted
the manhead and were about to unscrew the
zap when they felt that there was tremend-
Gus pressure from the inside against it. In
an instant there was dull puff as the vapor
escaped filling the air all around. The gas,
as is known, is heavier than the air. and it
sank to the ground spreading out all over the
locality and moving with the wind.
Almost in twinkling it reached one of the
sheds under which there was fire. There
was a fash as the infiammable vapor ignited:
Immediately after there was tremendous
explosion. The tank was blown to pieces
and the hundreds of gallons of burning oil
were scattered all over the great works. A
wall of fire 800 feet high and nearly 800 feet
long moved with lightning rapidity to the
buildings. In less time than it takes to re-
late it the canning house fell with thousands
of gallons of canned oil. The cooper shops,
carpenter shops, pumps and engine house
filing and the lubricating house, the paint
and glue houses and 800 feet of platform were
all ablaze and burned furiously.

Political Mix.

WICHITA, KAN, July 5.-The state central
committee of the resubmissionists held a
secret session here of five hours. No one
was allowed within who did not show the
physical evidence of resubmission. 1t is
given out that it has been decided to hol6 a
state convention September 9, at this place.
1t may be recalled that the democratic state
convention will meet here at the same time,
and it is generally understood that an effort
will be made on the part of the resubmis-
sionists to put up combination ticket with
the democrats. This question was thor
oughly discussed by the committee, and 1t
was decided unanimously to work it in this
way, and they would make all possible con-
cessions for a combination. 1t was even
gwen out by one that in all probability, if the
resubmissionists could not get combination
ticket. they would attempt to have the resuh-
mission following support the entire demo-
cratic state ticket. Outside the state ticket,
it is proposed to give attention to the legisla-
tive ticket in the various districts, and in
this way control the legislature for resub-
mission.

DELAYED Bulletin.

TOPEKA, July 2.-The weather crop bulletin
was delayed this week. 1t contains the fol-
lowing:
Wheat harvest has closed in the south, is
still in progress in The central, and has be-
gun in the northern counties. The crop is
generally good, with the berry quite plump
and uniform. In Lane the wheat harvest is
suffering from an sinsufficient supply of
headers, caused by the poor prospect for
wheat month earlier, when it was generally
considered dead: vet, with but little rain
since. very good crop is being harvested on
short straw.
The oat harvest has begun in the south and
is giving fair yield. Flax harvest has also
begun south, and promises a good yield.
Rye harvest has begun in the northern coun-
ties, where corn is growing nicely and small
grains doing much better than anticipated
few weeks earlier. New peaches and plums
are now being shipped north from the south
ern counties.

White Men to Decide It.

CHICAGO, July "a dispatch from New
Orleans says the lottery question has been
settled as far as the legislature is concerned.
The opponents of the lottery finding them
selves beaten in both houses agreed to a
proposition which was accepted by the COM
pany. The lottery bill. which has passed the
house and is before the senate, is to be passed
without obstruction, the state accepting ST.
200, 600 a year for the lottery privileges.
The bill is submitted in the form of an
amendment to the state constitution, and has
to be voted Oh by the people at the next state
election, in April, 1892. Before that time,
however, and this is the compromise agreed
upon, primary election is to be held on
some day not yet agreed upon, at which only
whites shall vote, on this question of accept
ing the lottery company's offer. If major
ity favors the proposition, the anti's are to
withdraw all opposition and let the amend
ment go through in 1892; if majority is
agalns. it. the lottery company will with
draw its offer and leave the state when its
charter expires,

Forty-Three Stars.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July Sin signing the
bill admitting Idaho to the sisterhood of
states, July 3, the president disappointed a
number of people in that state. who had
hoped that the new state would take up her
position in line on the Fourth of July. The
reason for this action was an interesting one.
The president, it seems, found that the law
ordained that new star should be placed on
the American flag for each new state Oh the
Fourth of July succeeding It's admission to
the union. The president left it to Mr.. Du-
bois, the delegate from Idaho. to decide
whether to have the bill signed at once and
get the star or leave the star over until july
3, 1891. Mr.. Dubois chose the star now, anc
as result the bill has been signed, anc
fOrty-three stars are now upon the flag.

AGuatemalan Interviewed.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Manuel Sotof, one of
the richest planters of Guatemala, who is
now here, says: SIN Central America, Mex
leo and Columbia it is fully recognized that
the Pan-American railroad would do much
for all concerned. The line from the Allan
tic to the interior of Costa Rica will be fin
ished in few weeks, and in about that time
the lines in Nicaragua and Guatemala from
the Pacific to the gulf will be completed.
Other important lines are almost finished,
and before autumn there will be good facili-
ties for transportation over all Central Amer.
lea. The difficulties in building the road
can be overcome. It is not nearly so large
an undertaking rs the Nicaragua canal and
that work Is progressing in a way that is ex-
ceedingly promising. The building enter
prise will also be benefited by the union of
the Central American states, which will be
concluded in September. That will save the
trouble of going to each state for concessions
and no petty jealousies Will be encountered

Five or Six Passes With Each Dozen
Tickets.

KANSAS CRY, No., July THE new West
ern Passenger association has some work on
its hands in Kansas City which will soon de-
termine whether it is to be a success or a
failure. The biennial cOnclave of the uni
form rank of Knights of Pythias. at Miiwau-
kee. Is what is causing the trouble. The
tariff rate for the round trip from Kansas
City is $14.50, but it is now openly charged
that rates have been made for $40 and even
less. There are half a dozen roads that can
carry the knights to Milwaukee. but all the
business Is going to be done by one or two.
So far as the Western Passenger association
has been unable to do anything.
One of the plans adopted by the compel
ing roads is to arrange for the sale of so
many tickets at tariff rates and then give five
or six passes for every dozen or so tickets
sold. The expenses of the trip will then be
prorated by the party. Others talk of re-
bates. The Burlington is strongly in the
swim. It has been designated the official
route for the Kansas brigade of the Knights
OF Pythias from Kansas City to Milwaukee,
the rate agreed on being one fare for the
round trip, or any lower rate named by any
competing line.
II understand there is SO rate being
made to Milwaukee for the Knights of
Pythias conclave, and that some of the roads
are getting all the business while others are
in the cold," said a reporter to Santa Fe
official.
swell, then, you understand the situation
perfectly" replied the Official. Then he
added: chairman Goddard and the
Western Passenger association are going to
be swamped. When little thing like the
Knights of Pythias rate cannot be controlled,
what is going to be done when indiscriminate
cutting commences?"
