IoSpoH, June 19.-There are rumors pre-
vailing in financial circles here today as to
the difficulties between Murietta, the head
of the banking house of Murietta & Co.,
recently transformed into limited iiabil-
inv company, and the trustees and execu-
tors of the new corporation, owing to the
discovery that the liabilities of Murietta
& Co. exceeded the liabilities represented
to the trustees and executors. The cor
poration is also said TO have incurred
fresh liabilities since the formation of the
limited liability company, which will re-
auire the further subscription Of nearly
$4,000 in order to avoid calamity. 1t
was said later that the money necessary
for the immediate requirements OF the
company had been raised among the

THE TORY PARTY CRUMBLING.
Ministers and Members of Parliament
See the Writing on the Wall


LONDON, June l9.-I Associated Press.
Copyrighted 1891. Parliament will be
prorogued August 6. A vigorous effort
will be made in committee on the education
bill to extend the operations of the meas
urc. The local party managers have re-
ceived authentic instructions to prepare
for the dissolution of parliament early
next summer. The government intends
to summon the house early in January and
stake their fate on the Irish local govern
ment bill. They calculate to dissolve par
lament after carrying the bill.
Conservative uncertainty over the future
of the party is leading to further refusals
by the present members to re-contest their
seats, and within the ministry itself dis
content is producing disorganization. A
remarkable outburst, in which Sir John E.
Gorst expressed contempt for certain of
his colleagues. occurred in the Manipur
debate. Being obliged officially to defend
the Indian government he made mock
ing apology for the brutalities and
stupidities of British rule abroad, and
behind gibes at the Indian government
satirized the imperial government. He
said Senaputty was man of brains; that
his real crimes were independence and
originality, and that the government pre-
ferred amenable medlocrity. The accepted
Interpretation of the speech is that Gorst,
recognizing the period of Conservative
power to be about to close, is preparing for
the time when he will re-assume with
Lord Randolph Churchill an independent
position, and aiming to form and lead a
party strong enough to give them eventual
control, or that at least the more promi-
nent shall lead the party.

1 ans store to their houses. despite his pro-
tests. 1t is reported that an effort will be
made TO debar them for their action in the
case. The coroner's Jury found All Tai
guilty OF murder. but the verdict, for some
reason or other. had not been fled with
tne county clerk, Barnard says. a week
alter the inquest. The Indians had be-
come much excited, and having been rein
forced by others, declared that they were
gong TO take All Tai out of Jail and cut
MN 70 pieces, and in this, the deputy
recorder states, they were encouraged by
.nany prominent white residents. 1t
- reported that when Sheriff Cody

some OF the latter intimated that they
would assist the Indians, going so far as
70 state IN conference with the deputy dis
.lict attorney and justice of the peace that
there was not sufficient evidence secured
10 assure conviction. and that if All Tai
was heid for trial before the superior court
~ would be an expense TO the county, and
'hat tne Chlnaman ought to be discharged
anu an lett to the mercies of the Indians.
Inc preliminary examination was held
June9 and resulted in the discharge of
the prisoner on motion of the counsel for
oSiense, VINO argued that tnere was no
evidence to show that Poker Tom had
been murdered; that the evidence did not
show whether the remains found in the
Tlver, and supposed TO be those of Poker
l om were those of a man or a woman,
and that there had been no evidence taken
before the court in the manner required
by law.
All Tai was afraid to leave the court
room after his discharge, and one of his
attorneys went to request the sheriff to
give him a body guard. Four Indians
then dashed into the courtroom, Justice
Fales, All Tai and one of the latter's at
torneys being the only occupants. They
seized the Chinaman, and responding to
Fales' entreaty that they do no violence in
the courtroom, bade him be still. They
dragged the shrieking Chinaman into the
street, where they were joined by other
Indians, who dragged the victim half a
mile out of town and cut off his head and
limbs, cut open the trunk, and scattered
entrails for q long distance through the
sage brush. The Indians then returned to
their camp, while the remains of All Tai
were gathered up and buried.

PORTLAND, June 19.-Ezra Meeker. the
well-known hop-grower of Puyallup, who
is now in Portland has written letter to
the Oregonian regarding the hop louse. He
says: Il have visited more than twenty
hop yards within the last four days, and l

such is the case with the twenty yards

so-called lice are the same that are found
on willow and other trees. The vines are
growing vigorously and are in no way
affected by the few lice found.
II shall not spray my vines, except In
an experimental way, until far different
conditions arise, ard / advise the farmers
of Oregon and Washington not to go TO the
expense of buying spraying machines and
material at present"
TACOMA, June 19.-tSpecial.l During
the last forty-eight hours myriads of hop
lice have appeared on the vines in the
Puyallup valley and the prospects of even
small yield are not now promising Two
days ago hop lice had appeared in but
comparatively limited numbers.
The continued rains have served to
bring millions into existence like magic.
One man today turned flock of sheep
into his hop yard in order that they might
eat the lower leaves, where the lice first
appear, thus checking the progress of the
pest. The lice work from the ground up,
destroying the leaves as they go. Some
growers despair of checking the inroads
of the hop louise in time to save the crop.
ToLT. June i9.-[Special. The hop lice
are increasing very rapidly and the grow
ers are getting very uneasy. There has
been dispute as to the insects being the
true hop louise, but that question is settled
now. Every one is satisfied that they are
the same kind that destroyed the hops
last year. Laboring men here are in as
great dread as the growers themselves,
for they say if the lice take the hops the
valley will be dead, and they will be COM
PEELED to roll their blankets and leave the
country.

Captain of the Steamer .Houslow Gets Z
Crew at San Diego.

SAN Diego, June 19.-The British coal
ship Hounslow, which has been engaged
for several months in carrying coal from
Nanaimo to this port, did not succeed in
getting out of the harbor until this morn
ing at II o'clock, although her cargo was
discharged and she was ready to sail night
before last. After the striking seamen left
the vessel yesterday morning representa-
tives of the Seamen's Union patrolled the
wharyes and constantly rowed back and
forth in boats to prevent the shipment of
non-union crews. At an early hour this
morning Captain Norman had secured a
boatload of men. and while passing
from the wharf to the steamer three shots
were fired at them by pursuing members
of the union, but no damage was done.
While making another trip the captain
was beset by a number of desperate long
shoremen, and but for the presence of a
squad of police with drawn revolyers.

injured or killed. When he had reached
the vessel he had the anchor weighed. and
the steamer went down the harbor TO Bal
last point, where several more non-union
men were taken on board, they having
been driven to that point in wagon to
escape the pickets of the union at the
wharf. After drilling the new men until
noon today. the big steamer disappeared
around Point Iona, leaving the strikers
OF this city minus about $1,000 in salary
which would have been due today. accord
ing to their contract, but which bv the
strike they have forfeited. The trouble is
said to be caused by the action of the
walking delegate of the Coast Seamen,s
Union, who prevailed upon the vessels
crew to demand coast seamen's wages,
while they were working under a two
years contract with the owners of the
Hounslow at SIS per month.

ST. LOUIS, June 19.-The railway tele-
graphers and the Brotherhood of Tele-

tiations looking to amalgamation. The
hitch, it is said, was caused by a clause in
the law of the railway people which pro-
vides that an operator must have done
railroad Telegraphing three years before
he can become a member. The brother
hood people are sticking out for
one year qualification. They
say that the three year limit
would bar out fully 80 per cent. of the
commercial operators. This morning the
judiciary committee of the Order of Rail-
way telegraphers and the officers of the
Brotherhood of Telegraphers met The
Judiciary committee reported that the
grand division refused 10 reduce the time
of the eligibility clause of their law,
whereupon the brotherhood officers called
all negotiations off. The Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers viii apply for member
ship TO the Federation of Railroad EN-
ployes. II is said that assurance has been
given the brotherhood people by the
members of the council that neither or
ganization will be admitted until ANAL
gamation is reached.
