closing, Mr.. Lefens called attention to the sub
1ect of representation of the brewing trade at
the worlds fair in 1898
The report of the board of trustees was very
lengthy one and deals with legislation pending
before Congress affecting the interests of the
brewers. On this point 1t says there never was
time IN the whole history of the association
when so many attempts have been made to in
]ure the brewing industry by means which do
not require the sanction of the people and would
not obtain it if they could not be submitted to
vote. The report speaks of bill for the appoint
the liquor traffic and the efforts of the brewers
committee to have it amended, 'fn
manner promising a fair, impartial
and competent investigation. The report
says the trustees endeavored to convince
the committee on ways and means that any in
crease of the tariff on hops, barley, malt, rice,
corks, ETC., would be unjustifable from an
economic point of view, but failed to accomplish
more than curtailing the rates of increase
originally proposed.
In respect to authorizations of beer and the bill
against them now pending in Congress, the re-
port says:
This is the proper time and opportunity to
repeat that individually and as representatives
| OF this association to condemn adulteration and
| TO fully approve and support any law designed
to suppress and punish it.''

TWO BIG PUGlLISTS.
Madden is Very Anxious to Get on Match
Between McAuliffe and Sullivan.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
NEW YORK, May 21.-Joe McAuliffe has been
searching very industriously for the extra
S., 900 which John L. Sullivan demands before
he will make match with the westerner
Billy Madden who attends to all of the Cali
fornians business, said to-day: 'sWe are
anxious to get on match with this man
Sullivan. There is no reason in the world why
he should object to fighting for 5000 a side
We have the money and will post the whole of
1t at any place and at any time it may suit.
Sullivan has been talking great deal about
McAuliffe and his manager came to US looking
for match, but Sullivan Immediately puts up
his figures to $4,000 and that is 5000 more
than we have got. Sullivan appears SO con-
tident that he can whip McAuliffe without any
trouble that can't for the life of me under
stand why he doesn't jump at the chance of
making 5000 Immediately. Besides he can
take all of the purse which undoubtedly will
be put up. Unless we win we don't want
! cent. We pay all our travelling and training
| expenses and will go to Asia if necessary to
meet him. 1 think this is a fair enough propo-
sition and don't know how we can make any
| better terms. McAuiffe is open to fight any
man in the world-Sullivan, Slavin and Jack
son preferred But despite the fact that Sullivan
has spoken OF him as an inferior man none of
! the big fellows appear to beanX.DuS to meet him
and am confident he could bestiany of them
| am satisfied that jackson is not anxious to meet
| McAuliffe, for he has had q pretty good oppor-
tunity of knowing just what Joe can do. McAu-
| life will remain here for some time and the
money is always ready
Elk Senator Brady, who controls the Virginia
! sporting club, to which organization the Iegis-
! lature OF that state recently granted charter
! by which prize fights or any other kind of con-
test may be held on its grounds, is Sullivan's
warm friend, and he has been in town several
days. during which time has had frequent inter
views with the big fellow. 1t is understood
that the club is willing to give purse of SIS 900
for finish fight between McAuliffe and Sulli-
van, and there is absolutely no danger of any
police interference or unpleasant after effects.
The champion has been considering the propo.
sitlon, and while he will not talk about it, it is
pretty generally understood that he has about
made up his mind to meet McAuliffe. He would
prefer Jackson if the black fellow could get out
OF his contract with the California Athletic club
1t is doubtful If Sullivan will be required to APP
pear in Mississippi again, but he will not sign
articles for fight with any one before June Is.

The Bank of American Investigation.

PHILADELPHIA May 2I.-A meeting of the
committee of the creditors of the defunct Bank
of America to-day examined a number of the
officers of that institution and secured some
startling information. They learned that about
thirty-fiye thousand dollars was credited to
three different men on the books of the bank
who had no money there. The money had been
paid out to them and for the American Finan-
cial association and the American Life In
surance company by orders of President Pfeif-
fer, of the bank. The subordinates examined
knew nothing about the reasons therefor ex-
cept they had their orders from the president as
to paying checks and fixing accounts Secretary
Work, of the American financial institution.
was unable to explain where all the money had
gone to, but managed to tell the tell the COM
mittee that nearly all the securities held by the
institution now had been mortgaged and the
amount on which money can be realized is not
very large. The investigation will be continued.

Presbyterian General Assembly.

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 21.-In the Pres
byterian general assembly to-day resolu-
ton urging Congress to pass the bill now
before it for an investigation of the effects
of intoxicating liquors was adopted. A
resolution asking Congress to pass an
amendment to the inter state commerce
bill, to enable states to prohibit or restrict
the liquor traffic, was referred to COM
mittee. The annual report Of the board of
foreign missions was read.
Rev. Dr. Burrell delivered lengthy report
on foreign missions. The total receipts of the
board during the year was Sl74,066 from
| churches; 1891 ,791 from Sabbath schools: S36
| 062 from Woman'S boards; $3.50 2S5 from lega-
cies and 3d. 100 from miscellaneous resources.
| There was decrease of S5S, 749 compared with
last year, and there is at present
a deficit of s6O275. An urgent ap-
peal is made to the assembly
to study the report and say why so great a fall.
ing off in the receipts has occurred. The strong
synods have not done as well in proportion as
the weaker ones. Rev. DR.. Ellinwood, secre-
tary, advised a system of weekly subscriptions
and several otner spirited addresses were
made. The recommendations of the board were
adopted.
When consideration of the publication board
matter came up Dr. Agnew, of the board said
| there had been considerable mSapprehension
on the part of the special committee AT the
| first meeting called only three members of the
publication board could be present and the
special committee sat as an lnquisition and re-
fused to give the date on which they based
| charges. Simmons sent q circular all over the
land asking questions, answers to which were to
be considered confidential as TO the prevailing
dissatisfaction with the board, I'VE assured
| Simmons we did not propose to vote
as q joint committee and not to
overrule his committee by our greater number
The special committee has misunderstood US
and this has prevented confidence. In it's re-
port are many misrepresentation, doubtless
unintentional We never saw it until the meet
lingo of the assembly" Regarding the state
ment of the special committee that response
BILE firm has offered to do the work for q less
price than the board does, DR.. Ag-
new said the board tried all that twelve
year ago when they gave the work to the three
| lowest bidders. ''Since then fifteen response
BILE Philadelphia houses had bid for the work
and IN each case it was higher than we are now
paying"
DR.. Agnew went on to defend the publication
board at great length, and in q spirited manner.
He censured the special committee for making
serious changes, implying carelessness or
! crookedness without careful investigation He
asserted that a proper investigation would
show the publication board was right.
After considerable further discussion in
which Dr. Herrick Johnson, of Chicago, and DIR
Howard Crosby took part, Mr.. Graham's mo
ton ofyesterday for the appointment of com
| mission to investigate the matter was adopted

me there are about three million seals and

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
A Conspiracy to Establish an LIN
dependent Republic.
STEWARDS PLEA FOR SILVER

The Presbyterian General Assembly
Charities and Corrections.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The Chronicle de-
votes four columns to giving complete details Of
the alleged conspiracy to capture Lower Cali
fornia and found an independent republic fol-
lowed by annexation to the United States. The
revelation claims to involve number of promi-
nent capitalists interested in Lower California
lands and mines, and well 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 Colonizing COM
pany, composed of wealthy EngliSnmen owning
concessions on the peninsula, to place in the
hands of well known San Diego capitalists s100,
O0O to be used in advancing the interests OF the
tlhbuSterS. The large warehouse of the
English company at Ensenada was to be
hIied with ammunition and provisions for the
use OF the revolutionists. Officers of the English
corporation claim that the policy of the Mexican
officials in Lower California had been ruinouS to
me land interests of the company, Which had
been obliged to expend thousands of dollars ia
protecting its interests, and the salvation of the
company, they finally assert, depends upon Sc
curing the annexation of Lower California to the
United States. A lobby has been working at
Washington in the company's interest, but as
the prospects of congressional action were un-
favorable, the flliDuStering expedition was
liked upon. Two propositions were discussed;
one was to capture Ensenada; the other was to

and telegraph lines Simultaneous risings at
Alamo and Tia Juano were to take place.
Several meetings in March and April were held
by the projectors of the expedition, and at one
| of these the facts became known TO newspaper
representatives. When the peninsula had been
seized a provisional government was to be de-
clared on or about August 1 and martial law
was to be ENFORCED. The land of the peninsula
was to be nationalized. and after a peaceful
order of things had been secured negotiations
for annexation to the United States would fol-
