Rough on Journalists.

Down in Hawaii the country is
overrun with correspondents, fe-
male newspaper men and alleged
reporters. In future, for the protec.
ton of the country, 1t is proposed to
have each journalistic immigrant
show his or her commission, poll tax
receipt, marriage certificate and re,
ceipted hotel and laundry bills. If
Hawaii insists in thus prohibiting
wandering reporters from coming to
the country. the journals of the world
should declare a close boycott on the
land of the Kamehamehas.-E. G. T.
in S. f. Wasp.

Bill to Provide for Settlement

Bill to Provide for a Settlement of
Their Indebtedness.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Nc
Conneu to-day introduced a bill to pro-
vide a settlement between the United
States and the Central and Union Pacific
Railroads, and certain other railway
corporations which have received bonds
from the Government to aid in the con-
struction Of their roads.
The bill directs the Attorney General
to commence proceedings of condemna-
ton against these corporations, and
authorizes the President to detail three
army officers as a Board of Appraisers to
fix the value of all property belonging to
these roads.
The Attorney General will also insti-
tute proceedings against all companies to
forfeit their charters by the Government.
The Secretary of the Treasury is to
have prepared legal tender United States
notes to the amount of S200, ,O00, 900, to be
disposed of to pay off the roads bonds
and Indebtedness. No payments are to
be made until the Supreme Court has
rendered a..decree confirming the findings
OF the Board of Appraisers.
The Secretary of the Interior is author
lied to advertise, within thirty days after
the investiture of the property, for a lease
for fifty years of all railways, with their
appurtenances and rolling-stock, No bid
is to be considered for an annuM rental OF
less than $5,000,000.

LOTTERY CIRCULARS.
A Banker Arrested for Sending Then

A Banker Arrested for Sending Them
Through the Mails.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Edward ii. Hor-
ner, ban ker at SO Wall street, has been
arrested for sending lottery circulars
through the mails. The arrest was made
on the strength of indictments found
against the prisoner in Springfield, Ill.
inspector Conrad, speaking of the case,
said Horner is the chief agent in this city
of various indemnity bonds of Austria,
Hungary and other foreign countries.
which bonds, he says,are nothing more or
less than lottery policy certificates. The
extent to which they are dealt in in this
country, Conrad says, exceeds the Loui-
siana lottery business in the busiest
times, and he pronounces it a gigantic
swindle.
Over S100, ,000, 600 are collected yearly for
these so-called bonds, it is said, and the
whole of it is controlled by Horner. The
latter, according to the statement of the
Inspector, acknowledged that he is inter-
ested in various schemes to the amout OF
S5O0, 900, and that his yearly expenses ex-
ceed $125,000. He maintains branch es-
adjustments in Boston, st. Louis, Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Denver, Birminghom,
Ala; San Francisco, st. Joseph, Mo-;
Mexico and South America.
Before the Commissioner, counsel for
Horner said his client did not come
within the Federal Statutes upon which
the arrest was made. He had written the
Attorney-General for an opinion, and
had received reply that the case had
been submitted to Chief Postofiice In
spector Rathbone. The counsel asked for
time to examine the documents in the
case and Commissioner Shields gave him
until Saturday, meanwhile fixing bail
at 5000. A bond in that amount was
furnished.

SALT LAKE ASKS FOR A REDUC-
TION IN TRAFFIC RATES.
The Omaha Bridge Agreement Will
the Rock Island Road Abro-
gated.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The Western roads
have received demands formulated by
the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce at
q recent meeting for an amendment of the
freight and passenger rates. The man
ayers interested in the roads say that the
claims made are in most cases unjust.
In respect to passenger rates, they say
the rates from Chicago to Salt Lake are
S52 so first-class, S37 80 second, and $67 SO
round trip; to Helena they are SOL so
first, S36 80 second, and $50 round trip; to
California points, $72 so first, S47 50 sec
ond, and 800 round trip.
Z The managers say carload of passen-
gers is taken to California for every pas
senger taken to Salt Lake, and that the
Salt Lake people get all the benefit of the
California tourist traffic passing through
there.
TRACK AND BRIDGE AGREEMENT ABRo-
GATED.
+ CHICAGO, Jan. I5.-The Rock Island
Road to-day received official notice from
the Union Pacific abrogating the track
and bridge agreement. The notice says
that these agreements are in excess OF
the powers and statutory authority of the
Union Pacific Company.
An official of the Rock Island, speaking
of the matter tonight, said that-the Rock
Island is contented to leave the question
of the validity of the contract to the
courts. The Union Pacific, he says, now
deny the power to make y lease, but it is
Z a well-known fact that while Gould was q
director of that road several years ago, it
leased the Central branch, nearly 400
miles, to the Missouri Pacific, receiving
no rental whatever, and the Union Pacific
keeping the road in repair Further
more, that lease is still in force, yet no.
body hears suggestion from Jay Gould
that it is illegal.

NEW IMMIGRATION BILL.
Conditions Under Which Foreign I'm.
migrants May Land.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Immigra-
ton Committee has agreed upon an inn
migration bill and reported it to the
House. The bill is considerably modi-
fled from the measure heretofore decided
on by the majority of the committee, Mr..
Lehlbach having been strongly opposed
to reporting any measure as stringent as
the first proposed.
The present law forbids conyictS, luna
tics, idiots and paupers from coming 10
this country. The bill reported adds to
this persons likely to become paupers,
polygamists and persons convicted of any
crime involving moral turpitude. Simple
political offenders are not included. Per-
sons whose transportation have been
paid, or who have been assisted to
immigrate, must show conclusively that
they are not within the inhibited clauses.
This will cover persons sent over by
poor-law guardians.
A number of provisions are made to
meet the evasions of the contract labor
laws, which experience has brought to
light. The system of inspection OF immi-
grants is greatly strengthened.
Chairman Owen says the bill is con-
servative, and permits all desirable per-
sons to come to the country, while shut
ting out others.

Marysville Thronged with Visitors to

Palmer Trial-A Former Resident of
San Pedro Charged with Causing
Mans Death.
Special to the REcoRD-US1oN.

MARYsvILLE, Jan. 15th.Hon. Phillip
keyser, Judge of the Superior Court of
Yuba and Sutter Counties, died here this
evening shortly before II r. NJ. He had
been sick over a year, and death has been
expected many times, but his strong con-
stitution prolonged his life Tor several
weeks. He had been gradually sinking,
and no hopes were entertained for his re-
covery. The immediate cause was
stomach trouble, but an autopsy will be
held tomorrow to ascertain the exact
nature OF the disease.
Judge Keyser came to Yuba County in
1850, and has held public positions of
trust since then. He was postmaster of
Marysville in 1852, and in 1860 was elected
County Judge, which office he held until
1878. Under the New Constitution he
was made Superior Judge of Yuba and
Sutter Counties, and has held that office
since. AT the last election he had no op-
position.
Judge Keyser has presided in many
| important cases, particularly the anti
debris suit, and has never had case re-
versed by the Supreme Court. He was a
member of the Masonic Order, and was
Past Right Eminent Grand Commander
OF the knights Templar in California
There was probably no man in the north
ern part OF the State more universally

he has been unable to attend to his duties,
but there was no disposition ON the part
OF the people to make IL change. No ar
rangement has been made yet for his

PALMER TRIAL.
More Evidence Taken In the Case of

More Evidence Taken in the Case of
Fairs Manager.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 15.-The trial of
II. j. Palmer, the eX-Superintendent of
James G. Fairs ranch, for forgery was
resumed in Judge Murphy's court to-
day.
+. S. Howard, Deputy County Clerk of
4olo County, was the first witness called.
He admitted that the morning after the
day the torgeries were charged as having
been committed Palmer called him into
his Office and asked him to sign a receipt.
Witness asked him what there was in it,
| and Palmer replied, "Oh, nothingv He
also admitted that he made this statement
in Fairs office last week. Last night he
again visited Fairs Office and talked the
| matter over, but could not remember
much that was said.
+. w. Falkenberg, the successor of
Palmer as superintendent OF the ranch,
testified that for several days after he was
appointed he tried to get a look at the
books, but Palmer refused him per-
| mission. Clarke was absent from the
ranch. The day after the alleged for
geries the books were turned over.
Charles w. Phleger the present Super-
lntendent of the ranch, and the partner of
Palmer in a ranch six miles distant from
the Fair ranch, testified that Palmer told
him there was Il package of books and
papers of the Fair ranch in the. express
office at Sacramento, addressed to Carri-
gan. Palmer told him that Clarke took
them away and he Q'almer) was going to
have Clerke arrested for grand larceny so
as to destroy his evidence. The day
Clarke left for the East Palmer told him
that he was going to give Clarke money TO
get him out OF this country, and that he
would never get back here again. This
conversation occurred in q restaurant and
witness saw money exhibited between
Palmer and Clarke at a table.

Startling Customs Frauds Un-

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST IN I'LL
NOIS.
A New York Banker Arrested for
Sending Lottery Circulars Through
Relieved of Their Money and VAL
uables at the Point of Pistol.
Special to the REconp-UNroN.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-Special Agent
Chance, of the Customs Service, made an
important discovery few days ago,
which gave evidence of the existence Of
a gigantic conspiracy to defraud the Gov
ernment out of its legitimate revenue.
BY the merest accident he was made
aware of the fact that w. Ford Thomas,
representing Claus Spreckels' sugar re-
finery, was lowering the sugar entries.
Collector Cooper at once made an in
vestigation, which showed that fraudulent
alterations had been made in the sugar
entries, and casual examination led to
the opinion that the amount of money of
which the Government had been cheated
was almost $4,000.
Collector Cooper, with view of pro-
tecting the Government, made an imme-
diate demand upon C. A. Spreckels, from
the firm, for the sum of $4,000, believing
that would cover the extent of the fraud
Spreckels handed to the Collector a GER
titled check for the amount, and this, it is
believed, will fully protect the Govern
ment.
The District Attorney will at once insti-
tute an investigation, with a view of
prosecuting the offender.
The method pursued shows that one or
more persons in the Appraisers Office
acted with some one cn the outside sup
posed to represent the Spreckels refinery.
The way the scheme was worked was to
SO change the figures on the invoices
which showed the polariscope test of
sugar as to reduce the amount of duty to
be paid.
Spreckels aud his broker, w. Ford
Thomas, denied all knowledge of the
| fraud as soon as informed Of the matter
by the Collector. Spreekels at once of
fered his check.
In an interview this afternoon he said
he would Ike to know the motive for all
this, which to his mind is nothing more
than conspiracy. at may be,' said
Spreckels, that the design is to damage
Mr.. Thomas, who has been in our employ
for eight years. He has been faithful
and honest man, and in our experience
we have never seen anything to cause us
to question his integrity. 1t may be a
conspiracy on some ones part to drive
him out of the business
Spreckels added that he could not think
Thomas had done anything wrong, and
If it is not conspiracy to injure him, it is
an effort to injure the firm. They desire
the fullest information.
