CENSUS COMPLAINTS.
GENERAL DISSATISFACTION WITH
TIE ENUMERATORS' WORK..
Several Cities Going to Inaugurate Local
Counts to Compare With the Govern
ments Figures-An Arrest at San Diego.

New YORK, June 19.-Dispatches from
Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and other
points tell of dissatisfaction with the
work of the government census-takers.
complaints are coming from all places
that the census so far is decidedly in
complete, many districts not being emu
merated, etc. AT Albany it is proposed
to order an enumeration by the city at
once, for comparison with the govern
ment work.
ST.. LOUIS, Sune 19.-From figures fur
nished by the census supervisors by per-
mission OF superintendent Porter, it is
estimated that the government census
will place st. Louis's population at
430,000. Complaints of careless work
and districts not visited by enumerators
are pouring in on the newspapers, andit
is probable an effort will be made to
have local count, unless the govern
ment work is carried on to fuller ex-
tent.
SAN DIEGO, June 19.-G. O. w. Payne,
a lawyer of this city, was arrested this
evening by deputy United States mar
shal, for refusing to answer the ques-
tiOns of census enumerator, and will
be taken to Los Angeles in the morning.

LONDON, June 19.-In the commons
this afternoon the government was
nearly defeated in the vote on the first
clause OF the licensing bill, it standing
22S yeas to 224 nays. The Conservatives
had expected Storey to continue his
speech today, but he did not resume,
and division was taken at once. Dur
ing the count there was a panic on the
government side.
Several Parnellites and number OF
government members were absent.
1t is stated tonight that Archbishop
Walsh has written letter to the Free
mans Journal, severely lecturing the
absentee Parnellites who saved the gov
ernment from defeat. He says unless
they can give satisfactory explanation
of their absence, he will find it hard to
place further trust in the Irish party.
Replying to questions regarding the
transfer of Heligoland to Germany in
the house of lords tonight, Lord Sails
bury said there was no ground for sup
posing that the inhabitants objected to
the transfer, except as regards conscrip-
ton, and this was provided against in
the agreement.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
NOT MUCH DOING YET ON THE BIG
DITCH.
More Men in the Hospital Than on the
Works-Meeting of the Canal Construc-
tion Company at Denver.

CoRINTo, Nicaragua, June 19.-People
from Greytown say little work is being
done on the canal. About eighty men
are at work just above where they started
the town of America, clearing away
brush along the route of the canal. A
hospital is located there with about 100
patients, mostly Americans. Contracts
for 1000 Jamaica negroes have been
made. The country is overrun with
Americans and Europeans who have no
money and can get no work, and all are
trying to get out of the country.
DENVER, June 19.-The third annual
meeting of the Nicaragua Canal Con-
struction Company was held at the Of
flee of the company in Denver, today

WASHINGTON, June 19.--The silver
bill is now in possession of the clerk OF
the committee on coinage, weights and
measures, and he has no authority to
surrender it's custody, except upon the
order of the house or the speaker. No
such order has been made by the house
(the resolution passed today, to strike
out the record of the reference to the
coinage committee, merely expunging
the statement of the transaction from
the journaD, and the speaker is not
likely to recall it. There is no record in
the journal that any reference of the
measure has been made, and therefore
it is doubtful whether motion to dis
charge the committee of the whole from
further consideration of the measure
will be in order, or even whether the
committee on rules can report a resolu-
ton fixing day for it's consideration.
The journal of Wednesday, however, not
having yet been approved, some method
may be devised to cut the. Gordian knot
which binds the silver bin, and also to
relieve the house from a dilemma.

DIsOUIETING RUMORS.
Germany Importing and Hoarding Amer
lean Gold.

New York, June ia local paper
says: The recent ntshipment of 81, ,254 900
in gold to Germany, $750,000 of which
went on the steamship Columbia this
morning, has been followed by the cir
culation in banking circles OF several
disquieting rumOrs, one reaching the
government officials to the effect tnat the
shipments are on direct orders
from the German chancellor. One
of the leading bankers here said:
''The recent advances in exchange in
Berlin, and the low rate of sterling in
Germany, arose from the policy of ex
tending the German export business,
and at the same time placing such re-
strictions Oh imports as to practically
prohibit them. The reason for this pol
icy is that the German government is
boarding gold, and no matter what ex
cuse the bankers acting as it's agents
may make, it is we'll understood where
the order comes from and where the
gold goes to-"
1t is estimated that $40, 100000 will be
taken by Heidelback, Ickleheimer q
Co. on present orders from this city,
and English bankers said today Sterling
just at the gold shipping point, and any
luI UllCl t1NdlCC Ill ldUCo Wouiu OliiS
out large export orders. The worst
feature of the situation is the fact that
gold bars in the assay offices, which two
years ago amounted to 500 900, 900, have
decreased to $32, 2,500,0 900. If they should
be all absorbed drain on the double
eagles in the sub-treasury will follow.
and the banks will lose part OF their
specie holdings.
The opinion of Wall street is freely ex-
pressed that the law allowing the with
drawal of gold bars for export should be
amended, and the treasury officials
should insist on paying all checks in
coin. This would limit the shipment Of
gold to small figure, for it would take
awide difference in exchange for shippers
to realize a profit in shipping coin. Gold
bars are of known fneness and charged
for accordingly. On the other hand, gold
coin often falls 1 per cent. below the
standard of fineness, and in addition
there is always loss by abrasion.

DUNBAR, Pa, June 19.-The town is
wild with excitement tonight. About G
O'Clock this evening the rescuing party
heard coming through the cave of coal
and slate on which they were working
a faint sound, oft repeated, which was
enthusiastically that of miners pick.
The news spread like wildfre to the
surface, and thence through the village.
In short time 1000 men, women and
children were crowded about the en-
trance to the mine. Meanwhile the
rescuers set to work with renewed
vigor. Only two men at time can
work in the passage where they are, and
these are being constantly re-
lieved. The miners express vary
ing opinions as to the length
OF time it will take them
to reach the imprisoned men, some say
ing ten hours, others twenty-four. The
rescuers fear no danger, and are not
likely to meet with any trouble. There
is the widest speculation as to how
many OF the unfortunate men are alive.
The miners express fear that most of
them were killed by the explosion. Late
tonight General Manager Hazard said
they had hopes of reaching the men be-
fore daylight. A corps of physicians
is waiting in readiness, and every pro-
vision has been made to take care of
such of the unfortunates as may be
alive. The suspense among the anxious
watchers above is awful.

WILL HANG TODAY.
Josiah Potts and Wife to Atone for An
Awful Crime.


ELKo, New, June 19.-Josiah Potts,
and his wife Elizabeth, will be hanged
here Friday for the murder of Miles
Fawcett, at Carlin, January l, 1888.
Fawcett was about 20 years of age and
tived on ranch few miles from Car.
lin, where he had some stock and sew
eral hundred dollars in money. Mrs
Potts did his washing and baking and
Fawcett lent them several hundred dol
lars, which they subsequently refused to
pay. On January 1st, Fawcett requested
man named Limeburger to accompany
him to Potts place, saying he would
make them pay or would tell something
about Mrs. Potts that would hang her
Fawcett had two hundred dollars
with him at the time. They found the
Potts family enjoying New Years Eve,
and Limeburgef, after accepting glass
of whiskey, left the house, leaving
Fawcett there to transact his business.
That was the last ever seen of him until
his body was found in the following
year. The Potts family stated that
Fawcett had settled up all his business
and had given Mrs. Potts bill of sale
for all his property and left for parts
unknown. Mrs. Potts then gave out
that she was going east to visit some
relatives, but instead took the train for
San Francisco. Two months afterward
she returned to Carlin, and in Septem-
ber 1888, they sold out their property
and that formerly belonging to Fawcett
and removed to Rock Springs, Wyoming,
where Potts resumed his trade of ma
chinist. In January, 1889, the body
of Fawcett, with the limbs severed from
the trunk, the skull crushed in
and the remains partly burned, was
found by the caving in of the roof of an
out-cellar attached to the house formerly
occupied by the Potts family. They were
brought back to Elko and placed on
trial They claimed that Fawcett COM
mitted suicide in consequence of being
detected inan attempt to assault theil
little daughter; that before doing 80 he
had promised to leave the country, and
had given them bill-of-sale of his prop
erty. When, however, Fawcett shot
himself, Potts crushed in his skull and
tried to burn the body to destroy its
identity, and then the family left Carlir
to avoid suspicion. Medical experts
however, proved that the man had moi
been shot, and circumstantial evidence
went to show that Mrs. Potts struck
Fawcett on the back of the head with al
axe as he was lying in bed. The jury
returned a verdict of murder in the first
degree, and the supreme court affirmed
the decision

Shasta's TransmOgrificati on.

REDDNG, June 19.-The disappear
ance of Mount Shasta's peak is still the
subject of discussion. A party who ar
rived from Pittsville yesterday says the
mountain on the east side indicates con-
siderable commotion. Large quantities
of smoke and vapor are rising. All
now admit that the mountain is changed
in appearance.
A man named Baker came in this
morning, reporting unusual clouds OF
vapor or smoke issuing from Mount
Shasta on the east. The information
regarding the rising of the water at the
soda springs appears reliable.
