gressman, Arrested for Vio-
lating Neutrality Laws

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12-It is stated
this morning that the cruiser Charleston
is making for Acapulco, word having
reached here that the Itata had gone
there to rejoin the Chilean insurgent
cruiser Esmeralda, which is said to be

Chilean congress and one Of the leaders Of
the insurgents, was arrested in this city
last night on a charge of violating the
neutrality laws for shipping arms and
munitions Of war on the schooner Robert
and Minnie and on the steamer Itata.
Trumbull was arrested on board the
Oakland ferry boat and was on his way to
Washington to confer, it is reported with
the Chilean consul. He was at once taken
to United States Marshal Longs office in
this city and made acquainted with the
charges against him. After his release
he stated that he had expected to be ar
rested, but had made no attempt at con-
cealment.
II don't worry about this at all, :" said
Mr.. Trumbull. 1T is mere fOrmality and

What do you say about the action Of

Turnbull asserted that If the Esmeralda
were acting as convoy, under no circum-
stances would she fire on the Charleston.

HIS CLOTHES DIDN'T FIT HIM
Remarkable Reason for the Postpone
ment of a Wedding


New York, May l2-Mary Peterson, Of
KeypOrt, n. j., who was to have been
made bride yesterday, remains maiden.
A msiit wedding suit has probably saved
her from being the victim Of a mislt we'd
ding. The intended bride had made every
preparation for the ceremony and was
waiting at home for her Intended husband
TO call and take her to the church. But
he failed to appear, and instead sent his
intended a message IL was TO the effect
that the wedding would have 10 be post
poned on account Of his wedding suit,
which he ordered, being such misft that
he could not make a creditable appear
ance in the church. When the priest who
was to perform the ceremony heard Of
this he sent word to Hinchey, the bride
groom, to come TO the church and fulfill
his part of the marriage contract, whether
his clothes fitted him or not. Ilinchey
made no response to this and kept in Sc
clusion.
Miss Peterson and her friends, although
bound TO accept Hinchey's explanation
for his non appearance, very reluctantly
agreed to a pOstpOnement Of the wedding.
1t is limited that It was not q question Of
Hinchey's clothes, but another cause
which kept him away from the church.
Those who entertain this opinion do not
believe that the couple will ever be mar

KNIGHTS TEmPLAR PILGRIMAGE
Proposed European Tour of Five Hun
dred Albany masons

LONDON, May 19-Five hundred Knights
Tcmplars, OF Albany, n. Y, are expected
to arrive here in the latter part Of July
on tour through Europe. They have
applied to Minister Lincoln to obtain
from the British government permission
to wear their regalia while In England.
Mr.. Matthews, the home secretary, has
been consulted on the subject and has in
timated that IL is impossible to make an
exception in the case Of the Albany
knights. The latter insist upon the right
to wear their uniforms and arms and pa
rade the deck Of the steamer City OF Chi
cagO, which they have chartered for the
voyage, although she sails under the
British flag To this probably no objec-
tion will be offered. Application has
been made to the governments OF the
countries on the continent which the
knights intend TO visit that they may be
allowed to march through the streets
armed ard in full regalia, bearing their
banners and executing their maneuvers.

THE CASCADE MINING REGION
Report Submitted by George 8. Rowse
on the Zorton Nina

SEAGILE, May IL ne 1OllOWlnR report
on the Cascade mining district, giving
the character OF the ore and formation of
rock and something about the famous
ZOrton mine has been submitted by Geo.
5. Rowse to the mining bureau Of the
chamber Of commerce:
Bureau Of Information:
"GENTi.EMEN answer to your re-
quest that | give you Information regard
Ing the Cascade mining district, respect
fully submit the following: During the
year 1889, while hunting for the source OF
some galena llOat ! came upon a large
body OF galena ore, which located Sep
tember >, 1889, under the name Of the
Boston.
I'VE found the country rock to be OF
granite, with quartZite dkes intermixed
with porphyrY cutting through the
northeast to the southwest. Across the
quarHlte dikes, extending nearly due
north aud south (mneral point Of bear
ng). Near the junction of these two
dlkes Is generally where the bodies of
ores come to the surface. To reach this
district we pass through a thickly tim
bered country, by an easy grade, to the
base OF the mountain, that Is within one
to two miles Of the different mines located
here.
The Iorton location is at an elevation
Of 5000 feet. In the past glacier slid
over the surface Of the country and eX-
posed a body Of galena ore, 10 feet high,
$50 feet long aud 10 feet wide, consisting
Of six feet Of pure galcna, assaying 500 In
silver, G5 per cent. lead and seven feet of
concentrating ore. The vein runs nearly
northeast by southwest aud dips 20 de-
grees. The foot wall Is granite and the
hanging wall is quarlzite and porphyry.
Nature has developed the mine TO great
extent. There Is a continuance Of this
vein cropping out at different places for
nearly two miles. The vein dips 70 the
southeast.
In the fall Of 1890. not having sufficient
capital to develop the mine and place the
ore on the market, we disposed Of this
mine at the very reasonable figure Of
$4,000 to NJ l.. Downs aud associates, of
Helena, Mont. This company has cX-
pended 5000 in development and has
offered TO subscribe 5000 for the putting
In Of "a road so as TO enable them TO ship
the ore.

tembt to Beat a Train

NEWPORT, Ark, Nav 12-Peter Smith,
Of Fisher, station on the Cotton Belt
railway, has been in the habit Of riding a
the track for about half an hour TO a
crossing, when he would turn and laugh
at the trainmen as the train sped by. His
success In defeating the train to the cross
ing on his horse encouraged him to try IL
with a mule. Yesterday lac mounted his
mule, and, as the train started, Peter set
out ahead at full gallUp. IL soon became
evident that the mule was not swift
enough TO reach the crossing In time. The
train continued to gain on him, aud when
within half dozen yards OF the crossing
the mule stumbled and fell; IL rolled over
the rails, but Smith was run over by the
train. His head was cut of, both legs cut
from his body and his remains scattered
along the road for some distance.
