America.
~ DR.. Herman T. Braun, of the New York
Swimming club and the New York Ath-
letic club, has repeatedly proved himself
to be one Of the swiftest swimmers in
America. He is a powerful long distance
man, but his forte is s~printing in the wa
ter. For several years he was undisputed
amateur champion in the waters near New
York. Prizes, medals and championships
all came his way. He won the American
championship at 100 yards in 1885 and held
it four years, until the present champion,
William c.. Johnson, appeared in the wa

away. Braun's best time for 100 yards was

to a recent letter to the treas
ury department in regard to the

ner Of California and Market streets, Of
fered for $2l 800, if it can be obtained at

to New Orleans to Make Arrests.

eighteen indictments against the officers
and directors of the Louisiana lottery.

states before United States grand juries
had been frustrated. The United States
marshal and deputies leave this morn
ing for New Orleans to arrest the pres
ident, yice-president, secretary, treas
urer and directors of the lottery
company. The indictments are
for transmitting lottery advertisements
through the mails in violation of the

Menzies, rrafrio scheme.

SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 23.-Stewart Men
zies, of this city, will submit to the
newly organized California traffic asso-
citation plan to establish a line OF cargo
steamers between San Francisco and
New York or Liverpool. He claims
that twelve steel steamers of 1000 tons
each could get enough freight to make
the line profitable. The round trip be-
tween San Francisco and New York via
the Straits OF Magellan would take 100
days. The cost Of the steamers, as pro-
posed by Menzies, will be -$2,500, 900,
and he calculates they can carry freight
at $40 ton, less than one-half what the
railroads charge.

a great panic on the streets OF Allegheny.

LONDON, Oct. 23.- 3.-[Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press. Glad
stone has revised the home rule bill.
AS to what time the scheme in detail
will be divulged, depends upon the fate
and character of the governments Irish
local government measure. If dissolu-
published with such completeness as
would leave the Conservatives no chance
to say the country had been deceived
on any important point. When the
general election does come, the issue
will be fought on definitely declared
home rule lines. If popular vote places
Mr.. Gladstone in power, the course thus
adopted will paralyze the opposition.
The house OF lords will not dare reject
the bill on the ground that the vote of
the electorate had not been specially
taken thereon.
PRINCIPLES OF THE NEW MEASURE.
Regarding the principles ofthe new
measure, enough has been officially as
certained to state that it gives the pro-
posed Irish legislature fuller powers
than did the bill of 1885. 1t retains the
lower and upper houses of the Irish par
lament; vests the appointment of the
judiciary in the Irish executive and
maintains the large representation of
Ireland in the imperial parliament. The
questions of financial relations and con-
troll of the police are also settled.
THE CORK ELECTION FIGHT.
In the Cork election fight there is
much pArtisanship. The friends of
Redmond declare themselves confident
of victory. They have no lack of funds,
part Of the money coming from Amer
lea.
DAvITr AS A PEACEMAKER.
The final hope of the restoration OF
party unity rests with Michael Davitt.
If he refrains from throwing his whole
influence on the side of the Mccarthy
iteH, and uses his personal power in a
quiet policy of conciliation, he will in
time recoastitute the Irish party. II
he consents to contest Kilkenny, thus
throwing the gage of battle to the Par
nellites, the feud will be eternal. When
interviewed today he talked as if en-
tirely committed to the majority.
THE NEW IRISH SECRETARY.
William Lewis Jackson, whose ap-
pointment as Irish secretary has been
definitely announced, has the reputation
OF being good business man, without
any bias toward his own ideas, if he has
any, and ready and plant instrument
of Balfour and Salisbury.
$ WORLDS FAIR INTEREST.
In an interview today, Mr.. Dredge,
one of the British commissioners to the
worlds fair at Chicago, said since his
return he has met encouraging indica-
tions OF increasing interest on the part
OF manufacturers. The commission will
distribute 10000 circulars throughout
Great Britain and Ireland, inviting ex-
hibits.

A GREAT FUTURE
For California Wines If They Are Giyen
Time to Age.

AAHo " ABos
SAN Francisco, Oct. 23.-Alfred F.
Osborn, one of the editors of Bonfort's
Wine and Spirit Circular, New York, is
i'll this city, after spending some time in
Los Angeles and Fresno. He thinks
from all he has been able to learn that
the product Of wine this year in those
two counties will be about 1 1,500,0 900 gal
Ions. "There is a great future for Cali
fornia wines," he said, "but many of
them are marketed too soon. They come
to New York and other eastern cities
entirely too new. They ought to be kept
and aged. In order that this may be
done, it seems to me that growers should
not be dealers. Wines should be trans
ferred to those who can keep them long
enough to let age rob them of their new
taste, which most of the goods now mar
keted have"

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-Another SER

to the enforcement Of the Chinese ex-
clusion act. Two Cinnamon who came
in from Canada and were caught in
North Dakota, were taken back to the
Canadian side by marshal, but the
Canadians refused to Jet them in, ex-
cept on payment OF the head tax OF $50
each. The Cinnamon had no money to
pay, and the marshal is holding them
for instructions. This new state of
affairs Is an embarrassing one, and the
attorney general is now considering it.
