Exidence or other FoIeeries.

NEW York, Dec. 19.-District Attor-
ney NicoH says: 81 have learned by
looking over the books of the bankrupt
firm of Fields, Lindley, Weichers & Co.,
that Field was very hard pressed for
money for sixty days before the failure,
and hypothecated all the securities he
could lay his hands on, and paying out
the money right and left in stock specu-
lations. The books show that on Nov
ember oath Field drew checks for over
$400, 600, which he paid to various firms
of stock kbrokers. There are evidences of
other forgeries besides those two bills of
lading."

Guilty of Smuggling.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 19.-The sum of
$40, 900 has been paid into the treasury
department of the firm of Neuberger,
Reiss & Co., the members of which were
indicted for smuggling. This is sup
posed to be in satisfaction of the claims
of the government against them, and it
is believed the civil suit will be dis
missed. The case dates from last Sep
tember, when case of goods consigned
to the firm fell from dray and burst
open, revealing the smuggled goods.
The entire consignment was seized, as
were several subsequent consignment nts,
and nearly all proved to be falsely in
voiced. Nearly all the invoices received
by the firm during the year were in
spected by L. M. Cashin, deputy col
lector, who has been dismissed lor al
legged completely in the smuggling.

AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED.
which Involves the Title to Valuable
San Francisco Property---Minor
Mention.

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-Today the
United States senate, the house of rep
resentatives, the executive and judicial
government, representatives of foreign
powers and his many friends paid the
last tribute of affection and respect to
the memory of the late Senator Preston
B. Plumb. This morning there are but
a few callers at the house, the most of
these being senate employees. At 10
O'Clock the casket was borne from the
house to the hearse by eight capitol
police. Immediately the small funeral
cortege, consisting of the hearse and a
single carriage, arriving at the capitol,
the casket was placed near the presi-
dents chair in the senate chamber on
black catafalque and all were requested
to retire.
When the senate met at noon the
chamber was partly arranged for the
funeral obsequies. The desk and chair
of the deceased senator were heavily
draped. The galleries were crowded
with spectators, except the diplomatic
and vice presidents galleries, which
were reserved on motion of Manderson.
The reading of the journal was dispensed
with and PETER rose and made an an
nouncement of Plumb's death, after
which he offered the usual resolutions,
eloquently enclosing hislate colleague.
The senate then took a recess.
At 13o'clock p. m. the senate was
called to order. During the half-hour
recess the work of preparing the cham
ber for the funeral was completed. A
row of arm chairs we're placed in the
area in front of the clerks desk and the
western side of the chamber was set
apart for the occupancy of the members
of the house and representatives. The
public galleries had become too
crowded.
At 1:20 the speaker and members OF
the house, with members Of the diplo-
matte corps, the chief justice and su-
preme court and President Harrison
and his cabinet entered and were as
signed to seats. The floral offerings
were large. At :45 the funeral COM
mittee of the two houses, escorting the
dead senator, appeared at the main en-
trance and the procession moved up the
aisle, the chaplain reciting the opening
sentences of the funeral service. When
the chaplain had finished reading the
service and appropriate selections from
the scriptures had been read, followed
by prayer, the body of the deceased SEN
ator was borne out to be taken to the
railway station The senate then adj
journed till tomorrow.

WASHED UP FROM THE SEA.
A Man and Boat Supposed to Belong to
the General Butler Found---The
Southern Pacific Strike.

New York, Dec. ia special from
Washington to the World says that its
correspondent was enabled to secure to-
night a translation of cypher dispatch
from Minister Egan to the state depart
ment, in which he stated that critical
state of affairs existed in Santiago. The
dispatch states that the American lega-
tion is surrounded by the police and
mob, and threats are freely made to
blow it up or burn it on account of the
refugees there. Copies of the cablegram,
the correspondent says, had been sent
to the president and navy department,
and much CONSERVATION had been
created in the latter by it's receipt. The
correspondent further states that
cablegram had been prepared to be sent
to Minister Egan, asking him to report
on the situation. 1t is believed at the
navy department, the correspondent
says, that the state of affairs around the
legation would not exist if proper police
protection was given. If the situation
is really as grave as reported, the naval
officials think that nothing but force can
get the refugees out of the legation. The
effect of Mr.. Egan's dispatch, it is
thought, will result in demand by
Blaine for a prompt decision in the Bal
timore case. If this is unfayorable, con-
gress will be called upon to act, and if in
the meantime any further hostile dem
constructions are made, an ultimatum will
be sent to the Chilian government and
the navy will back it up.
