LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 15.-Governor
Boyd's accession was celebrated by the
Nebraska Democrats today. A fair es-
innate places the number of strangers
in the city at $4,000, mainly from towns
and cities in the state, though Western
Iowa and Northern Kansas contributed
few. Governor Boies, of Iowa; Peck,
OF Wisconsin, aud Francis, of Missouri
were expected but were unable to come,
and sent regrets. In the evening the
governor held a reception at the Hotel
Lincoln, which was largely attended.
1t was followed by ball.
Governor Boyd, in the course OF
speech, said he believed the incidents
attendant upon the unprecedented con-
troversy following his election, and the
final result, will have far-reaching
effect upon our politics, and that its
effects will be beneficial to Democrats
as the efforts of himself and
those most nearly concerned in
resisting the efforts of their
opponents to commit great wrong
were guided throughout by a determina-
tion to abide absolutely within the law;
to act conservatively in all measure
taken, with a view to upholding the
honor and credit of the party, and the
fair fame of the state. 1t is not alone
Democracy which has been vindicated,
but the principles of good, honest gov
eminent.

THREE MINING SUITS.
The Consolidated Calico Sued by the
Waterloo and Burning Moscow.

The Consolidated Calico Sued by the
Waterloo and Burning Moscow.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 15.-Three COM
plants were filed today in the United
States court against the Calico Consoli-
dated Mining and Milling company.
Two are by the Waterloo Mining COM
pany and the third by the Burning Mos
COW Mining company, all for certain
mining done in the Calico mining dis
trict, in San Bernardino county. The
Waterloo Mining company, which is or
ganized under the laws of Wisconsin,
owns the Silver King and Red Jacket
quartz mines, which the COM
pany claims have been mined
by defendant company, by extending
drifts from its Oriental No. and Mann
moth mine, into the Silver King and
Red Jacket mines, owned by plaintiff.
From the Silver King it is claimed $500
tons of ore were extracted, and from the
Red Jacket 1900 tons, valued at $50
ton. The suits are for $4,000 and $54,-
600 for ore thus extracted. The Burn
ing Moscow Mining company complains
that 1900 tons of ore were extracted by
defendants by extending drift from
their Mammoth mine. The damages
asked are $65, 200.

DISQUIET IN CHIHUAHUA
A TRAVELLER REPORTS A SERIOUS
STATE OF AFFAIRS.
The Lower Classes and Indians Up in
Arms Against the Go vernment-A Sc
ries of Battles With Federal Troops.
Priests Encouraging the Revolutionists

Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. ia well known
mining man just returned from Chi
huahua, reports that country in very
unsettled condition. He says the rev.
olutionary movement there ia sympa-
thized with by the lower classes, and
they are daily gathering arms and per-
fecting organization. In several in
stances they have already rebelled and
won victories against the federal troops.
The, movement is urgedon by the priests
who hope to overthrow the present gov
ernment and resurrect the constitution
of 1872.
One priest at Teochi, claiming to be a
saint, has complete control over the
Indians for miles around. Urged on by
him, the people for miles around have
declared against the government, and SO
serious did the movement become that
federal troops were sent. The first de-
tachment of troops soon fell under the
influence of the priest and joined the
revolutionary forces.
A second. detachment was met by
revolutionists, and fight ensued, in
which twenty regulars and nine rebels
were killed, and many wounded on both
sides. The troops succeeded in cap
turing the town, but the rebels escaped
to Sonora, robbing and plundering en-
route.
Following closely upon this, another
battle was fought at Las Animas, in
which the revolutionists came off vic
torious and without the loss Of man.
Eight federal soldiers and their COM
mandant were killed, and arms and am
munition were captured among the
revolutionists, who, up to the time of
the departure OF the miner, still held
the town. From every pass in the
mountains, swarmed men eager to join
the movement, until the federal soldiers
surrounded the town and permitted no
one to enter.
A few days later there was a skirmish
at Yeckery, in which three of therevo-
lutionists were killed and number
captured. The people are gathering in
all the little towns and giving the gov
eminent much trouble in dispensing.

Associated Press Dispatches.


New York, Feb. 15.-The Commercial
Bulletin this morning refers again to the
favorable prospects of the California
raisin trade, based on Importation sta
tistics, and adds: "Since the publica-
tion of those statistics, the returns of
shipments from California have been
given out, and the figures suggest that
California has already made great strides
in the direction of supplying an outlet
that was formerly a field for foreign
raisins. AS matter of fact, it would
seem practically demonstrated that
California has produced enough raisins
to supply san outlet equal to that
which foreign goods found in
this country when the latter
had the field almost exclusively
and it is suggested that the weather
conditions permitting, there will be
enough raisin grapes grown there the
coming season to bring the supply OF
California raisins flllyBup to the crop of
last year and the importations from Eu-
rope com bined."
A bid of 91ic for 40's to 50's California
prunes in boxes, by an extremely con
servative buyer, is taken as an indica-
tion that no great surplus of that size is
here,

COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.
Prospects for Foreign Cooperation Not
Bright-Austria Is All Right.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Globe today
says the prospects for foreign co-opera-
tion in the Chicago Columbian exhibit
tion do not appear very bright. In the
case of England, the Globe adds: 'The
very grave feeling against the Mckinley
bill has not subsidized, but it is to be
hoped manufacturers will not let their
feeling overcome their prudent judg-
ment. Furthermore, such an attempt
at retaliation is more likely to hurt
themselves than anyone else. The
Americans and Germans are strenuous
ly trying to take our commerce. The
absence of British competitors at the
fair would therefore be regarded more as
a benefit than otherwise. 1t would also
be regarded as an admittance of defeat" "
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-DIrector General
Davis received q cablegram today from
Consul General Goldschmidt, at Vienna,
saying the emperor OF Austria had ap-
pointed a commission of prominent
men, with the Imperial Archduke Carl
Ludwig at its head, to supervise the
Austrian exhibit at the Columbian ex-
position.

A Genuine Mining Boom in San Ber-
nardino County.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-J. B. Os-
borne, well-known mining man
of San Bernardino county, is at the
Grand hotel. He gave some interesting
news concerning the mining interests Of
his county. ''San Bernardino," said
he, 'is coming to the front as mining
section. The mines have only been
operated for about ten years, but the re-
suits 30 far have been very encouraging.
While silver predominates, there are
plenty of lead and gold deposits.
What we need most, however,
is decent railroad transportation. II
looks now as though we would get it,
The Atlantic and Pacific has line
through the country from Mojave to
Albuquerque, but it does not pass
through the mineral section. Now l
understand that the same company in.
tends pushing line through to Utah
along the line OF the mines. This will
give the industries of the country
genuine boom. English capitalists are
becoming interested in several mining
properties, and London syndicate re-
Gently purchased the famous Remover
company NINE"

THE TYPHUs sCoURGE.
Transatlantic Steamships Beginning
Reject Russian Immigrants.

Transatlantic Steamships Beginning to
Reject Russian Immigrants.
New York, Feb. 15.-The steerage
passengers on the City of Berlin were all
transferred to Hoffman island this morn
ing, and the ship, after being thor
oughly disinfected and cleaned, was
allowed to proceed to her dock.
Sixty-seven Russian steerage pas
sengers OF the the steamer Belgen-
land were sent to Hoffman island for
observation. The remainder of the
steerage passengers were allowed to pro-
ceed with the ship to her dock, alter
being disinfected.
The different transatlantic steamship
companies carrying immigrants to
this country are greatly exer-
cised over the typhus fever out
break, and especially over the action
of the health officer OF the port in quar-
antining in such large numbers the i'm
migrants, as the companies are obliged
to support the immigrants while they
are in quarantine. There are now due
at this port large number of
steamships, and in them many i'm
migrants from various parts of Russia.
All these Russians will be held on Hoff-
mans island for week or ten days.
The agent of the North German Lloyd
steamship company today cabled in
structions to the other side to refuse to
take any more Russian immigrants. 1t
is probable the other companies will
take the same action.
Seven more cases of typhus fever
were discovered this afternoon at AZ
Twelfth street, and removed at once to
North Brothers island.
PITTsBuRG, Feb. 15.-A Newcastle,
Pa, special says nine of the passengers
of the typhus.inf steamer Massalia
have been located in Lawrence county,
and great alarm is felt lest the infection
spread. Two of the immigrants are
known to be very sick, but are SO con-
cealed by their countrymen that it is
impossible to locate them. The health
officers are out after them.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-02-16

SAN Francisco, Feb. 15.-In the Cur
tis case today the defense stated that
they would prove that Curtis was not
left-handed; that the nipper on the
wright wrist would have prevented him
from being able to shoot Grant, and
that he did not do the shooting. The
defense claimed that witnesses had been
tampered with by the police, and that
testimony had been suppressed.
Attorney Wilson reviewed the case
and said that on the night Curtis was
arrested he was under the influence OF
lfqAsar. He had a large sum of money
on his person. Near the corner of Third
and Mission a man asked Curtis for a
light for a cigarette, and reminded him
that he had played with the defendant
at Atlanta. They walked to Sixth and
Howard, Curtis endeavoring TO get rid
of the man. Near the corner of the
street Curtis heard step, and, as he
turned around, was knocked down. A
police officer came up and arrested Cur
tis and his assailant. The man started
to run, and Officer Grant put a nipper
on Curtis's wrist. Curtis did not know
he had been robbed until after he had
reached the police station. The officer
took the two men across Folsom street,
when shot was fired. Curtis felt him
self being drawn toward the building
and two other shots were fired. The
night was dark, and, believing himself
fired at, Curtis broke away and ran.
Attorney Wilson closed by saying
man residing at the corner of Fifth and
Folsom was ill and was up when the
shots were fred, and saw man run
rapidly up the street. He saw three
men-an officer and two others whom
he had under arrest. The defense would
prove by Mrs. Abbott that there were
three persons present when the shots
were fred. Two ladies saw a man, not
Curtis, run up Fifth street after the
shooting, and Reverend w. W. Davis
would testify to the effect that the
bruises found upon Curtis were made
by the robber who made the assault on
him. The defense would show that
Curtis was not in the habit Of carrying
a revolver, and had none on him that
night; that Curtis had no motive for
shooting Grant, and that the man who
robbed Curtis of $240 was the man who
fred the fatal shot.
Curtis took the stand in his own be-
half, and testified that he was born in
Detroit, Mich, and is an Episcopalian.
He had been an actor twenty-five years.
Had never before been arrested. On
the night of the shooting he had $240
with him to pay bill. He did not pay
it, because he failed to see his creditor.
He left his wife at the thea er and took
a walk.
Curtis then related the circumstance
OF meeting man who knocked him
down and robbed him, and of their
arrest by Officer Grant, when the shots
were fred. Curtis did not see who
shot, but thought the shots were meant
for him and ran. He did not recognize
the man who accosted him. He did not
have pistol that night. He had been
accustomed to use pistolin the comedy
Sam'l of Posen. He is not left handed,
but uses his left hand as much as the
right. For three or four weeks after the
shooting he had violent pains in the
head.

Detective Brown in Los Angeles.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 15.--Mrs. Brown,
wife OF Detective James A. Brown, re-
ported to have mysteriously disappeared
from San Francisco Thursday, received
"a letter from her husband this morning
stating he was going on trip to Los
Angeles. She has no fear that Brown
was foully dealt with, as intimated in
San Francisco dispatch. Brown is en-
gagged in the investigation of the Sidney
Bell murder case. A call at the home OF

IN THE COMMONS.
The Espiegle Bullion Episode Justified.
Irish Questions.

The Espiegle Bullion Episode justified.
Irish Questions.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-In the commons to-
day Lord George Hamilton, first lord of
the admiralty, responding to a question,
denied that the British government was
involved in any constitutional question
by the conveyance by her majesty's
ship Espiegle from Coronel, Chile, to
Montevideo, of 33S bars of silver, val
ued at G145 900, for the then President
Balmaceda. The question OF legal title
OF the then existing Chilean government
was then universally recognized, and
the shipment of the bullion was regular.
He added, however, that change in the
naval regulations under which the cap
tain of the Espiegle acted was under
consideration.
Mr.. Jackson, secretary for Ireland,
stated that the whole sum of 910, 900, 900
assigned for the purchase OF land in Ire
land under the Ashbourne act. had been
absorbed. The pending application for
advances amounted to G361 ,504 above
the sum provided by the act.
In the debate this evening on the ad-
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne, Sexton, member for West Bel
fast, moved an amendment declaring
that the majority of the Irish people and
their representatives in parliament were
convinced of the inability OF the impe-
rial parliament to legisate for Ireland in
the manner required by the distinctive
interests of that country, and that this
conviction had been intensified by the
manifest failure of the land purchase act
to afford basis for the extension of the
class of occupying tenants. He criti-
cised the act severely.
Jackson replied defending it, and Sex
toms motion was rejected-l79 to 168.
The close vote was greeted with treme.l-
dous cheers from the opposition and
Irish. The address was then adopted.

ing OF the railroad commissioners today,
R. G.. Sheath, president of the Consum-
ers' Ice company, brought in written
protest against the ice rate fixed by the
board, which he maintained was an av-
erage rate of four cents per ton per mile.
The protest was tabled.
T. L. Trickstadt protested against the
passenger rate on the line to Yosemite
between Berenda and Raymond, where
10 cents per mile is charged in second
and third-class cars, or So for a trip of
twenty-one miles.
T. H. Goodman, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, forwarded
a written reply to the protest, stating
that traffic on the line did not warrant
lower rate. Mr.. Goodman said the line
was not money-making property. The
matter was referred to Commissioner
Rae for investigation.
