MITKIE W1Cz OUT OF A PINCH.
He Was Charged With Obtaining
$4,000 on False Pretensas.

0oSgOOO On Ribs ELSk0n6CEs
NEW YORK, Nov. II. - The case Of
Count Eugene de Mitkiewicz of Chinese
concession fame, who is charged with OBJ
tanning $50 900 from Attorney Arthur S.
Tones OF Brooklyn on false pretenses, came
up in the Tombs police court to-day and
resulted in the discharge Of Mitkiewicz
Mr.. Tones went on the stand
and told how the persuasive
count had persuaded him to raise money
for the furtherance of plan TO send a man
to China to gain railroad concessions and
secure the acceptance OF ex-senator Blair
as minister to China. The count he said ,
gave him to understand that Col. Elliot F.
Shepard was backing the scheme and would
be, III vague sort of way, security for the
loan.
Col. Shepard took the stand. He said he
met Mitktew1cz about three years ago. The
count soon after unfolded his plans for
building railroads in China. The count
said he had lived in China and knew that
tie Chinese government was favorable 10
having American capital build railroad
lines there, and that il little
money was spent judlciously the
necessary concessions could be obtained
from Viceroy Chang. He declined to ad-
vance any money, but finally agreed that in
case Mitkiewicz secured concessions from
the Chinese and brought him sufficient
proof OF the fact he would enter into the
scheme and pay all the expenses that had
been incurred.
When the colonel left the stand Lawyer
BROKER moved that the complaint be dis
missed.
Justice Grady discharged the count, say
ing the prosecution had not made out a case
against him. To make out a case Of larceny
by false pretense, the justice said, it was
necessary to show that the false pretense
had been Of such nature as to be reason
ably credible This decision of the justice
affected the count like magic. He jumped
up and seized the hands of his attorneys,
and even IN the exuberance of his Joy
grasped the hand Of Col Shepard.

MEXICO'S SILVER,

The Mckinley Tariff Cuts This Country
Out of Refining 1t.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Minister RYAN
of Mexico, who is here, says that the effect
of the Mckinley tariff provision imposing
a duty on Mexican silver and lead has been
to largely reduce the export of these ores
from Mexico into the United States. In
stead of exporting ores the Mex1cans erected
smelling refineries. The industry has
proved to be so profitable that there is
reason to apprehend, in the event of the
restoration of the old practice of admitting
ores free Of duty, that the Mexican govern
ment will impose an export duty to prevent
shipmept.

CATION WIN End in Smoke.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 1.-THE Gober In
vestigation was continued tonight, the
committee having sat last night until after
midnight The general ground taken by
the defense is that the grounds for the mo-
ton for new trial were not approved by
Judge Gober on June 5, 1890, but that he
took the papers Their and had perfect right
TO change at any time prior to the render
ing of his decision at tho Septembec, 1890,

change the motion for new trial is not
denied, Tut 1t is contended that he had not
approved the grounds before changing them
and that he had the right therefore 60 cor
rect them before making his decision.
Several sharp passages have occurred dur
ing the investigation irritating to both
sides. The impression is that the investiga-
