IN A PREDICAMENT.
A CAMP OF CHINESE UNPLEAS5.
ANTLY SITUATED.
Shadowed From Guaymas to the Ameri-
can Border by Customs Agents-They
Can Neither Retreat Nor Advance.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-Collector
Phelps today explained what was being
done to prevent Chinese from entering
the United States across the Mexican
border. Special Agent Irvine and an
other officer were appointed to go with
the Chinese who arrived at this port in
transit to Guaymas. They disguised
themselves as miners and sailed April
25th in the steamer Newbern for Quay
mas, in company with sixty Chinese.
The officers mingled with the Chinese
and studied their features until they
could swear to each mans identity.
Twenty Chinese who bought tickets
to Guaymas left the steamer at
Ensenada. Telegraphing to the col
lector at San Diego to look out for these,
the officers continued southwark with
the rest. Arriving at Guaymas, the
Chinese left on the railroad in the direc-
ton of Nogales, accompanied by the
officers, but within sixty miles of No
gales and close to the border of the
United States, the Chinese left the train
and went into camp. The two officers
went to Nogales and made preparation
fOf the capture OF the Chinese the mo-
ment they crossed the border, but the
Mongolians did not cross, and some time
after were joined by more, making a
total of $50 Chinese in camp. Two
weeks ago Chinese letter was captured,
and which on being interpreted, showed
that the Chinese had been informed of
the preparations for their capture. This
explained their long delay in attempting
to cross the border. Twenty-four were
recently captured by Inspector Mccoy,
and are held at Tucson. Twenty-eight left
Alta, in Mexico, followed by Mccoy, and
four may have perished on the desert
The Chinese in camp near the border
find themselves in an unpleasant pre-
dicament. If they cross they will be
captured. They cannot go south or east,
because of the Apaches, and on the west
and northwest lies the great desert.
Their eountrymen at Guaymas are hos
tile to them, and what will become of
them Collector Phelps cannot say. The
work Of Irvine and his associates shows
that the food of Chinese which had
taken passage for Guaymas did so to
smuggle itself into the United States,
and shows the wisdom of stopping them
in transit at this port.

Silesian Labor Riots.

VIENNA, June 1.-THE strikers at
Bennisch, Silesia, attacked the factories
yesterday, and with clubs and stones
smashed the windows in sixteen OF
them. A number of strikers were ar
rested, and their comrades assaulted the
police in their attempt to rescue them
The military were called and soon
quelled the rioting.
Later dispatches from Bennisch say
the rioting there lasted nine hours, and
that 130 arrests were made. 1t is also
reported that the manufacturers of the
town have agreed to increase the EN-.
ployees' wages, and that this concession
will probably end the strike.

PORTLAND, Ore, June ia speci.S
from Olympia, Wash, says: The sensa-
tional bribery exposure in the board of
education is the principal topic of con-
versation here. All the members of the
board are very reticent and decline to be
interviewed. The facts are already
known to the book trust in the east and
it is said they were in constant commu-
nication with their agent here before
the deal was consummated. What is even
more startling is the fact that the trust
has bought in other concerns to which
contracts were awarded for good round
sum, and will gain their point. The
agents Of the trust were Captain r. L.,
Edwards, j.. w. Womack and L. f.
Loveridge. The latter had no hand in
the bribery, as it is said the others
would not trust him. Edwards and
Womack are said to have made the deal
with Sullivan and Eames for the trust.
A dispatch was received today from
G. 0. Carnes, of Portland, by the Olym-
pia Tribune, stating: "We were en-
ployed as detectives to shadow and test
this man Leach, which was done. The
giving OF the check was simply follow
ing out the line of the above work. The
check was worthless, and his accepting
it has completed our test and proved
him to be contemplate and weak. If
the school board desires | will 90 before
them and make further explanations as
regards Mr.. Leach"
The check is now in the hands of one
OF the state officers, and it will be pho
tographed and preserved. 1t is under
stood that Edwards and Womack have
left the state. The trust is very anxious
to hush up the matter, and Mr.. Gum,
one Of the trust, is here trying to smooth
things over, as it will have an evil influ-
ence in the adoption of the text books
in the future for Washington, California,
Oregon and all the Pacife states.
SAN Francisco, June ia Chronicle
special from Olympia says: Warrants
were issued today for the arrest of J. w.
Womack and r. l.. Edwards, of the
American Book Company, on the charge
of attempting to bribe state officials.
The men have gone to British Columbia.

HEAVILY LONG.
warren N Co., of the Chicago Board of
Trade, Go to the Wall.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE failure of Rob.
ert Warren & Co., the heavy English
house operating on the board of trade
here, is officially announced The firm
was heavily long on wheat, pork, lard
and ribs. Warren, when asked as to the
amount of the liabilities, said he did not
know; his money was tied up, but he
hoped to be able to come out even. The
announcement caused a heavy break in
the articles dealt in by the firm. Wheat
dropped to SS and mess pork to $11.75
when the firms holdings were thrown
on the market, but subsequently recov-
cred. Warren q Co. have been rated
high, but recently have been speculating
heavily on the wrong side. Its former
business was chiefly exporting hog
products.
LATER-Warren was an individual
operator using firm name. He is said
to have owned one-third of all the cash
wheat in Chicago. As he has bought all
along in the recent drop in prices, the
Bank OF Montreal, which is holding
wheat as security for money advanced,
is reported to have shut down on him.
Warren when interviewed this afternoon
made light OF the matter. "The whole
thing is to offset" said he, "our assets
to cover our liabilities. Through an
oversight the deposit of a check was
neglected this morning. The matter
has been balanced and our business will
90 on "

Associated Press Dispatches, p!

CHICAGO, June 11.-Dispatches from
numerous points in Indiana, Illinois and
Southwestern Ohio show that today's
storm was one of the most severe of the
season, but fortunately there were few
fatalities and no great amount of dam
age to property. One of the
most serious accidents was at Jack
sonville, Illinois, where great crowds
OF people were gathered in large tent
listening to concert. A tornado-like
storm swooped down and dashed them
to the ground. A scene of mad con-
fusion prevailed. A number of people
were injured painfully, but only two
fatally. The storm did considerable
damage in the city. At Mo
berly, Missouri, the lightning struck
church where funeral services were in
progress, and several people were
stunned, but not injured severely.
Points in Indiana report the most Sc
we're storm nyears. The prostration of
telegraph and telephone wires through
out Indiana and Ohio generally was re-
markable, and news comes very slowly.

Garrison had a marvellous escape from
death today at Morris Park. He had
the mount on Brother Ban in the second
place, and in coming down the stretch
the horse dropped dead, probably from
overexertion. Garrison was thrown to
the ground, and beyond few bruises
was uninjured. Luckily Brother Ban
was in the rear when the accident
occurred. Had he been up with the
bunch, Garrison would probably have
been killed.

LONDON, June 1.-THE st. James Ca
zete, in an article on the negotiations
now being carried on by England and
Germany relative to territory in Africa.
says a probable settlement will be
reached by the terms of which the Ger
mans will evacuate and abandon their
claims to a portion of the territory now
occupied by them. The Gazette further
says line will be drawn across Victoria
Nyanza, one degree south of the equator,
to the eastern boundary of the Congo
state. All disputed territory north of
this line will be British, and all south of
it German. The action of DR.. Peters
and the treaties he has made with the
native chiefs, the Gazette says, will be
expressly disavowed at Berlin.
An Abject Surrender.
The Chronicle commenting on the pro-
posed settlement of the East African
question, as announced by the st. James
Gazette, says it is the most abject and ig-
nominious surrender of British interests
that has been made since England aban-
doned her American colonies. 1t adds:
Little is left to surrender now except
Egypt. The restoration of Alsace-Lor-
raine to France, which would have given
Europe some hope of peace, would have
been cheap price to demand OF Ger
many for such concession.
The Daily NeWs thinks the announce
ment in the st. James Gazette is a feeler
to ascertain public opinion on the ques-
ton. Germany" it says, Comedies
two minor points for one main point.
The British government is likely to be
in the ridiculous position of the lady

Dillon was grOomsman.
Balfour Banqueted.
In speech at complimentary ban
quet tonight, Balfour said the Irish sec
retaryship was the target for Parnellite
abuse. He complained of obstruction
measures in parliament. He expressed
regret at what he called the degradation
of the once great Liberal party, which,
he said, was being dragged in the mud
at the heels of the sensationalist mob.
Balfour also said the cloture was
powerful, though dangerous, remedy
upon the single-government question,
but he was powerless to do otherwise
with the continued obstruction Of long
and complicated measures.

Austria's Foreign Relations,

PEsTH, June 11.-During the sitting
of the foreign committee of the Hun
garian delegation today, Herr Falk de-
clared that the delegates joyfully en-
dorsed the respectful references to the
emperor Of Germany by Count Kalnoky,
minister OF foreign affairs, for the whole
monarchy, in his recent speech to the
delegations. Falk spoke in high terms
of the position occupied by Italy y in the
triple alliance. He also asked whether
Count Kalnoky would endeavor to secure
recognition by the various powers of
Prince Ferdinand as the lawful ruler of
Bulgaria. Count Kalnoky said the rec
ognition of Prince Ferdinand, although
of great urgency, was yet of secondary
importance to Austria. She had sought
to strengthen and develop the indepen-
dence of the Balkan states as far as pos
sible. She would not countenance
sharper measures against Servia. He
declared that Austria was completely in
accord with England, especially in re-
gard to affairs in the east.
