Detroit Electrical Co. Embarrassed.

DETROIT, Mich, April I3.--A local
paper says that the Detroit Electrical Co. 10
embarrassed, owing to several reasons, the
principal vf which is competition. The
company was organized in 1876. About
three years ago the company raised its capi-
tai stock to 81 600 900. and Hoated s677 :
600 worth Of shares.
OF this some $500. 900 was taken up in
Boston and few other Eastern cities.
Finding more money was needed the com
pany issued $500. 900 preferred stock and
tried to place 1t in Boston. The attempt
was failure. The creditors became clam
orous.
President Hugh Mcmillan secured the
company by paying and indorsing notes to
the amount Of sls5 900. FRIDAY last the
company secured him by mortgage of the
entire property.
The total endebtedness amounts to $3.50, :
600. A good deal Of money is locked up in
electric street railroads lines in various
states, which the company constructed, and
it has been the carrying owners for years.
The company has an excellent plant. The
annual report last December shows: debts

STEAMER ERlDANO
Will Take Part in Naval Parade After DIS.
charging Italian Exhibit.

PORTLAND, April ,3.-The word of un-
loading the cargo of the Italian steamer
Eridano is nearly completed and the cars
into which the packages have been loaded
leave for Chicago today. Prof. Oldrini who
who has been experimenting the unloading
states that the cargo, consisting of works of
art and industrial exhibits, was somewhat
damaged by water, the Eridano having ex-
perienced heavy weather on her voyage to
Portland.
In few days the Eridano will leave for
New York to assist in the naval parade, in
which three Italian warships will take part.
Prof. Oldrini is citizen of the United
States and resides in Washington. He is a
member of the American Academy of Po-
litical and Social Sciences; National Geo
graphic Society, United States Geographic
Society of Italy photographic Society of
France Elementary Instruction Society of
Paris, etc. He is at the Falmouth hotel.
The Italian exhibit at the Worlds Fair
will be made up of 1866 packages. OF
these 1910 came to New York on the
Kaiser, l29 to New York on the Crown
Prince and 1887 on the Eridano to Port
land. The Cottage City brought quantity
of the goods to Portland, and the Manhat-
tan, which arrives tonight, will also have a
large consignment.

A cONSUL'S BIG FEE.
He Demands 500 a Ship for Clearance
Papers from Hayre.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The agents of
the French steamship sailing line sailing
from Havre cabled that the United States
consul at that port would not give one of
their vessels, which was to sail Tuesday
the requisite clearance unless he was paid
300. The regular fee for this clearance
is $3.50. The consul undoubtedly based
his large demand on the fact that careful
inspection of vessels is now required in Or
der to protect this country against cholera.
Later it was made known that the consul
not only wanted 800 for the inspection of
this particular ship, but demanded $1,000
for the inspections he had heretofore made
in ships Of this line. 1t was intimated that
no further clearances from Havre would
be given until the $1,000 was paid.
The state department at once sent cable
to the consul to issue clearances for ves-
sells of the line and leave the question of
compensation for future adjustment. It
may be shown hereafter that the large sum
demanded by the consul was just, in view
of the circumstances.

Witness in the Biddsiord Hotel Robbery Case
Arrested for Perjury.

BlpprroRp, April l3.-All day evidence
has been taken in the Biddeford court in
the prosecution of the charge against Rob-
ert Templeton, the alleged hotel thief. The
two chief witnesses against him are Miss
Evie Simpson. chambermaid who testified
that she saw Templeton looking into Il
trunk in the porter's room, and Daniel
Euckley, the hotel porter, who claims he
saw Templeton making two attempts to un-
lock guests rooms.
When questioned concerning the gold
watch which the warrant alleges Templeton
attempted to steal, Buckley testified that
his sister Maggie gave it to him when she
visited Biddeford two years ago. This l.
dence was contradicted by another sister
who said that Maggie is in Australia and
was never in this country.
Other discrepancies were found in Buck
ley's testimony, and at the suggestion coun-
sci for the defense, Buckley was tonight
arrested on the charge of perjury. He is
now at the hotel under charge of a keeper.
The Templeton hearing will be concluded
tomorrow.

GENERAL STRIKE FEARED


LONDON, April Indications point TO
general strike of unionists engaged in
handling ships cargoes. The fight between
the dock laborers of the union and the
Shipping Federation, will probably be-
taken up by the unionist dock laborers at
all tho principle ports, in which event
serious delay in the discharge and shipping
of freight is bound to occur.
Also the Dock Inborcrs' Union at Liver
pool has been dissatisfied for some time
with the action of the members Of the Ship
ping Federation, in employing non-union
hands and have grievance regarding
wages
Today the union notified firms in Liver
pool belonging To the Shipping Federation
that unless the demands of the unionists.
already formulated, were conceded, the
members of the union will go on strike.
This is believed to be prelude to similar
action by the dock laborers' unions at other
ports.

PRESIDENT CLEvElAND'S TRIP.
The Party to Start from Washington Probably
April 30.

WAsHIsGToN, April l3.-The arrange
ments for the trip of President Cleveland
to Chicago to take part in the exercises at
tending the opening of the Columbian Ex-
position May | will be completed in day
or two. So far as the arrangements now
extend they provide for quick trip on a
special tram over the Pennsylvania route.
The day and hour of departure from
Washington and from Chicago have not
been determined, but in order to suit Mr.
Cleveland's wishes it is probable that the
train will leave Washington on the morning
of April 80 and start on its homeward trip
from Chicago the evening of May /. The
train was rendered by the Worlds Fair
committee on reception, and it will be ele-
gantly fitted up for the party. All the
members of the cabinet have expressed a
desire to accompany the President, and
they will probably carry ont the intention.
Mrs. Cleveland will not attend the open
irg ceremonies, but will press button at
the White House that will turn moulten
metal at Chicago into mold of memorial
bell to be used by the Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution. 1t
is expected, however, that several of the
cabinet ladies will accompany the Presi-
dental party to Chicago.

NE WAS GOING NONE.
Oklahoma Net 4 Poor Mems Paradise lust
Now.

TOPEKA, April l3.-But little account
has been made of the priyations and suf-
fering arising from the ill-considered rush
made for the new lands of Oklahoma when
thrown open to the public,
The great negro population of that terri
tory has been improved in condition, for
these people left nothing and have found
something.
The other day two white-covered prairie
sehooners moved slowly down Kansas ave-
nue. headed for the East. The advance
wagon WAS hailed and the driver asked
where he was going. The man slowly
pulled up his team and answered that he
"reckoncd" he was going home. lie said
he had started from his farm near Hastings,
Neb.. for Guthrie, Indian Territory, about
two years ago, taking his family, consisting
of his wife and l2 children. lie had, in al,
dition to his teams, at that time $1,000 of
the greater part of which he had been
iieeced by confidence men.
He had found claim, but, being left
without money, had been living in tent
the past two years, and at times found him
self with but few of the necessaries of life.
lie was willing to work, but his neighbors
were but little better off than himself and
were unable 10 give employment to any
person. In fact they did not need help of
any kind, being able to do all their own
work
There has been much more suffering
among the whites than among the negroes
for the latter have helped each other, while
the white family in poor luck has had to
help itself. For a new country Oklahoma
has been fairly prosperous. The weaker
have been crowded out, and the failures
have been lost sight of. The citics--for
every collection of houses is termed a city
have been collectively prosperous, ex-
cept in the newer territory opened dnrin.
the past two years
The cause of the depression in the six
counties more lately opened lies in the
peculiar privilege granted the Indians, by
which they selected the best lands, and are
relieved from all taxation for 20 years.
The settler, after having selected his
land and and invested his little ready money
in buildings and improvements, finds that
he must pay all the taxes for the county
government, bridges and school buildings
and schools, while the Indians derive equal
benefits. The burden of taxation becomes
too great, and the settler is often crowded
to the wall.
As there will be but 20 allotments in the
Cherokee strip. this condition will no pre-
vail there, the condition being practically
the same as in the original Oklahoma. The
spectators will suppress all appeals for aid, ,
as they have done in the past, and by that
means crowd out the needy ones.
