n d. Notion, OF Port Townsend. T..

u. d. Notion, OF Port Townsend. IT.
plains His Mining transactions.
Los ANGELES, Jan. 25-T. j. Notion. who
organized In this city the Mexican Mining
anu Development Company, of which
General A. Med. McCook was elected
president, and in which other yell.knoxp
citizens were given offices, arrived in the
city tonight by the Southern Pacific train
from the East. Mr.. Notion has for two
months been down in old Mexico looking
after the interests of his company. and
while at his camp he first learned of the
publication in San Francisco morning
paper and in the Seattle journals Of dam
aging charges against his character. 1t was
charged IN these reports that he had fraud
ulentiy raised a sum of money by drawing
through Port Townsend bank against
some mining stock which had been placed
on sale in Los Angeles. The story as sent
out gave the impression that Notion had
attempted to swindle the bank. As soon
as he heard of these serious charges he Sc
cured the heetest horse to be found near
his camp and rode 800 miles TO Hermo.-
lilo, whence he came direct by rail 70 this
city on his way to Port Townsend. where
he promises to set himself right and give
trouble to his caIumniators.
The explanation given by Mr.. Notion is
that when the mining company was or
ganized here he took about $4,000 worth
OF stock, of which he was to be permitted
to sell $4,000 as he pleased. He put a
quantity of stock in the hands of tie COM
pany's secretary for disposal, and subse-
quently while in San Francisco, on two oc-
casions drew on the treasurer of the COM
pany for $500, his drafts being duly hon.
ored.
Later, when at his home in Port Town.
send, he drew again 81. 200, the amount due
on note of his in the bank through
which he drew. Shortly afterward he
came to Los Angeles, transacted some
business and left for Mexico. The last
draft was not honored, as sufficient stock
had not been disposed of, and when the
draft went to protest the Port Townsend
bank at once began to give trouble.
The publication ensued, and w. F. Ew-
ing, vice president of the bank, came to
Los Angeles to try and make a settlement,
returning north about a week ago. Mr..
Notion was formerly vice president of the
same Port Townsend bank, having been
succeeded by Ewing, and he says the
whole affair is the outgrowth of malice.
He will tomorrow consult his attorney
here, and then proceed at once TO Port
Townsend. He Is much worked up over
the affair and there is likely TO be trouble
before il is settled

and well selected, gave great satisfaction.
John w. Duncan presided and introduced

liz a semi-circie were seated William
Brown, Robert Mckenzie, j. r. Steel,

address of the evening on Robert Burns
was delivered by Robert Secular. Most of
the numbers, both musical and literary,
were of distinctively Scottish flavor and
Burns works were largely used The
recitations of J. NJ. Graham were also well
received. After the twenty-six numbers
of the programme had been rendered and
various encores were given, the hall was
cleared and dancing was INDUCED in by
all. Refreshments concluded q rarely

The American Flag at the Polls.

WAsHINGfoN CITY, Jan. 2S.-[Special.E
There are still several members of con-
gress who sympathized and fought for the
lost cause In the South who do not respect
the star-spangled banner. Representative
McGann, of Chicago, is Democrat, and,
since coming to congress, has had in view
the introduction of a bill or joint resolu-
ton to provide that the American flag
shall be displayed at all polling places
on election day. Mr.. McGann is a young
man, and he has always resided in
the North has great respect for the
American institutions and great respect
also for the national banner. Mr.. McGann
thinks that it would show more patriotism
on the part of the men who have the right
of suffrage in this country if their repre-
sentatlves in congress were asked to pass
a law requiring that the star-spangled ban
ner become feature at the polling places.
The Chicago congressman had about de-
cided to prepare his bill or resolution when
he thought it would be but right and fair
TO submit the proposition to Chairman
O'Ferrall. of the elections committee, who
represents Virginia district in the
lower house So Mr.. McGann went to Mr..
OFerrall and stated the idea he had in
mind. O'Ferrall entered so vigorous a
protest that Mr.. McGann decided to let the
matter drop at this time. In talking to
McGann, O'Ferrall said that he did not
believe in so much dag patriotism; that
anyhow this country did not have money
enough at this time to appropriate suf-
ncient sum TO purchase these flags for
every polling-place in the country. OFFER
rail- said, too. that it would be something
OF ali otishoot of the force bill that was
defeated in the last congress. The scheme
of McGann is, however, considered good
one by good many congressman from
Northern states, and il may yet be fol-

Jack Dempsey sim i'm the Ring.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Jack Dempsey, the
hero of hundred ring battles, is in Chi
cago on his way from New York to his
home at Portland, Or, accompanied by
his wife and child. Dempsey spent the
day with old friends. and, although he de-
sired to continue his journey, was per-
shaded to remain in town until last even
ing Dempsey is sick man. and has
never recovered from the malaria that at
tackled him before he went training for the
fight with Fitzsimmons. Early last
fall he left the Pacific coast
with Peter Herget. Young MITCHELL"
to give boxing exhibitions with theatri-
cal company. but after sparring a few
nights in Brooklyn he was compelled to
seek his bed. He has not appeared in pub
lie since that time. The great middle
weight denied the report that he had re-
tired from the ring, but said he was now
seeking health and that regained, he
would be ready to meet any pugilist of his
weight who desired a contest. His
condition at the present time is
shown by the fact that he stripped
yesterday and turned the scales
st only las pounds, when he should. out of
framing, weigh 160 pounds. Dempsey put
q number of silly stories to fight. He
had never challenged Tommy Ryan, of
Chicago, for the welter-weight champion
snip. and he had not only not accepted Alex
Greggains' defy to battle in San Fran
cisco, but had never heard of such an offer
until yesterday. Neither would he second
Danny Needham against Ryan in New
Orleans on March ., as reported, for he
had not received any such invitation.

high praise on the performers individually

pleased the audience last evening in the
