against various merchants who were
having building or other work done

impossible to break a contract. Boy

merchants. Last night the builders and
manufacturers appointed committee

boycOtts. The committee reported reso-
lutiOns that its members have right to
employ any one, regardless of organiZa-

SAN Francisco, June 9.-The Ex-

from its correspondent at Acapulco, in
which he says that in an interview with
Silva Palma, the captain of the Esmer-
aida, the latter told him that the Esmer-
aida met the Itata at point 100 miles
south of ManZilla, Mexico. They were
about to put coal on board the Esmer-
aida, when the steam launch which had
been sent north as lookout signaled
that pursuer was in sight. Instantly
the Itata was ordered to fly, and she
sailed away at the top of her speed.
The purSuer was the Charleston,
and the Esmeralda prepared to
meet her. The meeting occurred off the
harbor of Acapulco at about o'clock in
the morning. TIE Esmeralda had her
search-light playing over the sea, and
shed it full upon the United States
cruiser as she steamed down upon her.
The result was that the Charleston beat
to quarters and put every man at the
guns. The Esmeraida was equally pre-
pared and her decks were sanded for
action. Captain Palma says if pistol
shot had been fired on either side it
would have been the signal for instant
engagement. Captain Palma says he
tried to buy coal and provisions from
sthe Mexicans but they refused to sell
him anything. He at length told the
authorities that If he did not get coal to
get outside he would fight In the harbor.

HELENA, Mont, June 9.-The second
chapter in the sensational divorce case
of Kate Edgerton, of Minneapolis.
against Erastus ID. Edgerton. the mill
iOnaire banker and capitalist of Helena,
was enacted in the district court here
to-day. 1t will be remembered that
Mrs. Edgerton sued for divorce and
$4,000 alimony. She alleged that Ed
gerton, on May &c, 1889, procured by
fraud divorce from her at Bill
ings, this state, OH the grounds
of desertion; that E. d. Weed,
now United States district at
torney, appeared for her on letter
written by herself at the point of pis-
tol in Edeerton's hands while in New
York city. The letter authorized Weed
to waive summons for her so as to avoid
publicity. Edgerton's reply was filed
to-day, He denies that he compelled
his wife to sign letter to Weed at the
point of pistol and says she was not in
New York at the time. He also
makes sensational declaration
that the grounds on which the divorce
was obtained at Billings. which were
desertion, was only to shield his wife
to be infidelity. His answer contains a
letter alleged to have been written him
by Mrs Edgerton, in which she says:
II was fond of --, and often while
at his office, under treatment, submitted
TO his wishes"
In another she says:
81 believe he drugged me, or l never
would have submitted. From the first
he told me l was the only woman that
could ever resist him. Oh, God above,
look down and pity me for misstep."
The name of the man is not given in
the answer, but he is known to be
well known doctor now in Missoula.
Continuing, Edgerton says he con-
tributed to the support of his wife and
child after the divorce. and she seemed
reconciled to the conditions, and salts
fed with what he allowed her until
about year ago, when she began max
ing eXorbitant demands on him. In
one letter written in August last, she
demands $4,000 and house at Mer-
riam Park, Mimi. which he had pro-
Vided for her with furniture, offering
quit claim deed in return. In another,
she speaks of male friend whom she
wants to accompany to Australia. COun-
sci for Edgerton argued to-day against
granting alimony during the trial, alleg-
ing that Mrs. Edgerton was only seeking
to get money from her ex-husband in
order to marry someone else. Edger-
toms counsel also sought to have the
case thrown out of court, under the
statute of limitation, the alleged fraudu-
lent decree of divorce having been OBJ
tanned more than two years ago. The
court took matters under adviSement.
Thomas Bach, one of Edgerton's coun-
sci, was the judge who granted the
divorce at Billings in 1887.
