Forged in the Chain of Evidence Against
the Penrose suspects.
BUTTE, Aug. 13.-LSpecial. THE detec-
tives unfolded to-day another link in the
chain in which they expect to bind Deeney.
Hickey and Kelly, the accused murderers of
Penrose Only one witness WAS examined
to-day, and his cross-examination was not
concluded when the hour for adjournment
arrived. The one witness WAS Officer Tom
Waters. He corroborated the evidence of
Jacob Oliver. stating that he had been pres
ent when Hickey said he would "fx' Pen
rose before he left town. Waters was not
quite sure whether Hickey had said he
would "fx'' Penrose, or whether he would
kill him, but it was something to that
effect. Waters said he had been
q policeman four years and
before that time had been miner twenty
five years. He had worked in the Late Ac-
ouisition mine before it was leased to
Deeney and Kelly. The former lessee was
Ed. Rodda The tools in the mine belong
ed to Ed. Rodda. They were marked bv Il
.W," There was peculiar tool i'll the
mine called ''gouger," made of five
eighths steel. Only one class of men use
this gouger and these are miners who come
from st. Just, in the western part of Eng
land. The witness said that at the coro-
ner's inquest he was present when
the steel was taken out of the
billy found near the scene of
the murder, and that he Immediately rec
ogn,zed the mark "W" on the gouger as
similar to the mark on the tools in the
Acquisition mine. Rodda, on giving up the
lease, had left the tools, 80 they were still
there. The witness declared that the mark
on theisteel is the Acquisition mark, and he
knows of no other mine where that mark
is used. On the night of July witness, in
company with other officers, entered the
Acquisition mine through tho roof OF the
shaft house. They took away four picks
and drill. All the tools were marked with
NV" except one pick, which was marked
with cross. He thought the mark "W"
had been beaten ont. and the "N' placed
over it. The tools were produced i'll the
court room.

UNION PACIFIC FINANCES.

ARRANGEMENTS for Raising Money to Float
the COMPANY.
New York, Aug. 13.--Another conference
of directors and others interested in Union
Pacific matters was held day and at its
close it was stated that matters were pro-
crossing towards favorable conclusion,
and that the formal announcement of the
settlement of the company's trouble would
soon be made. One of the parties to the
conference said ten or twelve million dol
lars would be all that was necessary to put
the company in an easy position, and that
although some of this WAS actually sub
&c ibed the greater part had been pi omised,
and all that remained was to sign the papers
and arrange the various details. A prominent
German banker was given as authority for
the statement that Pierrepont Morgan would
have an interest amounting to ST, ,00O, 900 in
the new contract, and that although not
yet in shape for formal announcement the
matter was virtually settled. At meeting
of Union Pacific directors few members
of the executive committee was elected to
replace Fred l.. Ames, who is now in Eu-
rope. The officials decline to make the
name of the new nember public but it is
stated by Others that he is Il. l.. Atkins,
who was prominent in the recent negotia-
tions in connection with George J. Gould.

THAT UKASE.
Thought to Be Political Move Against
Germany.

Thought to BE a Political Move Against
Germany.
BERLIN, Aug. 13.-It was FIRST believed
here that the Russian ukase was directed
against Germany. but the government now
appears to be convinced that it was prompt
ed by economic motives. German imports
of rye In the last decade amounted to only
about one-sixth of her own produce, but
the failure of the German crop this year
makes the situatlon more serious. Latest
statistics, however. leave ground for the
hope that the harvest will be better than
expected Reports of the rise of the
price on rye in Holland caused a further
rise OF one mark here to-day. But toward
the close tho price receded two marks.
Wheat advanced three and q half marks ON
unfavorable reports from New York.
The London Times correspondents at st.
Petersburg says that in certain we'll in
formed circles it is maintained that the
harvest is in no way as bad as pretended.
The rye crop is not small enough to war
rant prohibition, and the ukase is rather
considered a political move against Ger
many and Austria.

railway, principal owner Of tho Public

All Chinese Excluded.

SAN FRANoIsCo. Aug. 13.-The landing of
Chinese from the steamer Oceanic was
stopped this morning by order of Collector
Phelps. The order was due to circular
received from the treasury department,
quoting decision of the supreme court of
tho United States in the case of Wan
living. The latter is laborer and wanted
to land on the ground of prior residence.
The court held that no Chinese mer-
chant or otherwise could land in the United
States unless provided with consular GER
tificate. 10 obtain certificate he must
prove that he was conducting mercantile
business i'll the United States, which would
be almost an impossibility i'll China. Phelps
held that this practically excludes all
Chinese except those connected with the
diplomatic corps.
