NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Company Fails to Meet Its Bnls-A
Receiver Appointed.

The Company Fails to Meet Its Bills-A
Receiver Appointed.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-In the United
States Circuit court today, Judge Bene-
dict appointed Thomas B. Atkins of New
York, receiver for the Nicaragua Canal
and Construction company, on applica-
ton of Louis Chaple, one of the stock
holders. Application for receiver was
acquiesced in by Warner Miller, presi-
dent, who says the company has no
means to meet its obligations.
The company was organized under the
laws of.the State of Colorado, June 10,
1889, for the purpose of building canal
through the Republic of Nicaragua, con-
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The authorized capital stock was $I2,-
900, 900, all of which is paid up. After
the organization it became associated
with the Maritime Canal COM
pany with the same object.
The late scandals in France over
the building of the Panama canal
seriously affected the American company
and in certain nature of the work pro-
jected had the effect of making capitalists
cautious about investing in the concern.
The present monetary stringency further
embarrassed the concern until finally the
officers became unable to meet the de-
mands and decided to apply to the courts
for receiver.
President Warner Miller said the fail
ure of the Nicaragua Canal Construction
company was due to inability to sell
securities of the company. The company
was pressed for settlement of it's bills
payable and the receivership was the d.
rect outcome of the claim of Reas & Co..
for an unpaid bill of exchange amounting
10 Cd 0O0

THE GEARY LAW.
A Decision Handed Down in the United
States District Court.

!
States District Court.
Los ANGELES, Call, Aug. 30.-Judge
Ross in the United States district court
today handed down en- opinion declaring
that warrant for the arrest of Chinaman
under section sixth of the Geary law can
be issued when the complaint and its
verification are in proper form. This
sixth section is the registration clause
that caused such q sensation many
months ago when members of trades
unions made an application to United
States Commissioner Van Dyke for war
rant for the arrest of Chinaman under
the registration clause of the Geary law.
The commissioner refused the warrant
and application was made to Judge Ross,
but no decision was had on this applica-
ton.
Last Monday William F. Lintoner,
farmer, made application to Judge Ross
for warrant for the arrest of All Wong,
the complaint charging that Wong had
failed to register as required by the sixth
section of the Geary act. The judge says:
while much regretting that the appli-
cation has been made to me, feel it my
duty, under my oath of Office and in view
OF the obligations resting upon me to adj
minister the laws of the United States in
all cases properly brought before me, to
award a warrant upon verifcation OF the
complaint. in the absence of any judicial
knowledge that the department OF gov
eminent charged with the execution Of
the provisions of the act of May 5, 1892, is
net provided with means to carry out its
provisions Were / so advised l would
not hesitate to refuse warrant, for it is
plain that the executive department of
the government cannot execute the orders
of Judge directing department of China
f,sl - -,-4r,
gress gives it money with which to send
them away.
Without necessary funds the executive
department. would be manifestly power
less, and no judge, in my opinion, should
order into custody for deportation any
Chinaman whom he judicially knows
cannot be deported by the executive de-
partment for want Of necessary means.
Such course would not only strongly tend
TO embafrass the administration, but it is
pertinent to ask, 'tWhat in that event
would become of such Chinamen?' They
could not be put in a penitentiary at hard
labor, as provided for by section of the
Geary act, aud any unreasonable deten.
ton of them by officers would doubtless
entitle them to q discharge on writ of
habeas corpus.
In the case of Wong Def Ken, the de-
fendant is found and adjudged to be I'M
lawfully in the United States, and was
therefore ordered deported and was de-
ported by the executive department, and
nothing to the contrary appearing, it is
to be presumed that the same department.
is possessed of similar means for the de-
portation of any other Chinaman or
Cinnamon legally found and adjudged to
be unlawfully in this country, and for
that reason legally ordered to be deported.
For these reasons, upon proper verifica-
ton of complaint, warrant for the arrest
of the person complained of must be is
sued.

BIG MINING DEAL.
Haggin, Mackey and Senator Jones Pu
chase Canadian Gold Mines.

Haggin, Mackey and Senator Jones Pur-
chase Canadian Gold Mines.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-It was reported
here today that syndicate composed OF
j. B. Haggin, John w. Mackey and
Senator Jones of Nevada, has about con-
Guided arrangements for the purchase of
all gold mines and interests in the Beance
mining district, in the province of
Quebec. These mines are located about
seventy-five miles north of the city of
Quebec, and are known as the Gilbert
river gold mines. Mining Expert Dwight
Crittenden is making an examination OF
the mines in the Beanoe district, and has
already made one report, In which he says
he found large number OF gold bearing
quartz veins.
Any report made by Crittenden. who is
a practical miner, is regarded by mining
men, it is said, as beyond dispute, and
the very fact that he is making an exam
ination satisfies Wall street that the pur-
chase by the Haggin syndicate is prac-
tically settled upon.
One group of mines in this district is
owned BY q number of Boston and Port
land merchants, but it is reported that
arrangements have been made for the
transfer of this property to Haggin and
his associates. The value OF all of the
mines is up in the millions.
Mining men here are much interested
in the outcome of the deal, as the same
syndicate is reported to have recently Sc
cured some of the richest mines in Chill
in return for cash advance made at the
time of the Chilean war. None of the
principals, who were seen today would
discuss the matter at;all.

.CHICAGO'S UNEMPLOYED.
A Mass Meeting Held Which
Became Turbulent.
ITALIANS START A RIOT.
The Authorities Order the Calling
Guns Brought Out.
The Police Finally Charge the Mob and
in an Incredibly Short Time 1t
Broke and Ran in Every
Direction.
ITALIANS START A RIOT.

CHICAGO. Aug. 30.-An enormous
crowd of unemployed men and women
collected on the lake front to hold mass
meeting. 1t was SO very much larger
than expected that 800 policemen were
placed on duty there and thousand ad
ditional summoned from the outlying
stations. The authorities, apprehensive
of an outbreak, were taking every pre-
caution.
As the morning wore on the crowds
constantly Increased and became more
turbulent. Impromptu speeches were
made at various points and indications
of rioting manifested themselves. Finally
the crowd surged across Michigan
avenue, blocking the streets AUDITING on
it and preventing entrance to the Audi
forum anc other hotels. About this
time the police began to appear in the
crowd. In the meantime 500 Italians ana
Others started for Spizzaria market on
State street where were stored fifty rifles
used by Italian societi es in parades. Ar
rived there, the mob demanded the guns.
Spizzari refused to give them p and
pushed the invaders out and locked the
doors. He then gave them g with which
they bought italian and American flags
and returned to the lake front, squad of
police keeping their eyes on them, but
making no arrests. The return of the
Italians increased the excitement and
soon the mob began throwing stones at
the police followed by a shower of
coupling pins picked up on the Illinois
Central railroad tracks.
Orders were at once sent to ave gatling
guns in readiness and the police were
ordered to charge. Their clubs at once
began to beat lively tune on the heads
of the mob, and in an incredibly short
time it broke and ran in every direction,
quickly melting into individuals fleeing
through the streets and alleys, and the
trouble was over, at least for the time.
Shortly after 5 O. clock this afternoon.
everything being quiet and all the crowds
dispersed, the reserve police forces were
sent home. At the armory of the Second
infantry, on the lake front, there was
much earnest work this evening, an ex-
ira guard being placed on duly with a
line OF pickets outside. The same con-
ditions prevail at the west side armory of
the Second and armory of the First reg
iments, all being prepared for any pos
sible attempt to sack the armories. May
or Harrison said tonight that he would
not allow any more incendiary speeches
made on the lake front.

YHB BATTLE FOR SILVER.
To Be Made a Test of Physical
Endurance.
PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED
fhe Senators From the Silver States
Prepared TO Camp.
Anti-SiIver Men Assume That tho Senate
Win Pass the Voorhees, Bill and
In.t0 the house Mln 1hen
Act Promptly.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The silver de-
bate in the Senate is TO be made test of
physical endurance. This at least is the
programme which the Senators from the
silver states announce. Senator Teller of
Colorado says he has brought his winter
clothes with him and will wear them be-
fore unconditional repeal of the silver bill
is passed. But the Senators from the sill
yer states seem to stand alone in this de-
termination. Their opponents say they
will not be aided to any great extent by
the free coinage Democrats. Most of
them 1t is believed agree with Mr.. Hill
that TO filibuster on this question would
be TO lower the character of the Senate
and diminish public respect for its delib-
erations
The threats are analogous to those
ascribed to the silver men by the anti
silverites and have been heard before in
the Senate on other burning public ques-
tons, but somehow after two or three
weeks pu bic talk and at the most two
continuous night sessions compromise
has been reached ana an agreement en-
tered into for vote to be taken at fixed
time. Little doubt is entertained by the
gold standard men that this will be the
result in this instance. Should the de-
bate be unreasonabIy prolonged the con-
test may be temporarily transferred from
the silver question to an amendment OF
the Senate rules, to permit cloture.
The managers of the anti silver cam
paign in the House assume that the Sem
ate will pass the Voorhees, bill as q SUBJ
stitute of the Wilson bill which passed
the House. When the VOORHEES, bill
comes over from the Senate it will nat
urally be referred to the committee on
coinage, but this committee is bitterly
hostile to repeal, so it Will not be sent
there if it can be avoided. The gold
standard men think they have found
rules the bill, when received, as it does
not require consideration in the commit
tee of the whole, involving no appropri-
stion, it is expected a motion will be
made to concur in the Senate amendment
and the expectation is that the bill will
be quickly passed.

wElTE METAL IN MEXICO.
No Bad Effects Experienced-A Panic
VIII Come in England.

No Bad Effects Experienced-A Panic
VIII Come in England.
CRY OF MEXICO, Aug. So.-It was an
ticipated that the passage of the bill re-
pealing the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman act by the House of Representa-
tiyes would Immediately have bad effect
on the exchange stock, but SO far no
change is noted. People generally believe
tibet the American mines cannot as a rule
continue to be worked on a much lower
price, when their place will be taken by
the mines here employing cheap labor,
and that as the product cannot be very
greatly increased here the price of the
white metal will be steady.
1t is thought Europe will soon expert
ence even a greater panic than that now
visiting the United States, and that the
silver question will not be settled until
Europe is forced to take action in order to
save the export trade to the silver using
countries. Business conditions here are
in a remarkable contrast to those in the
United States. There have been no large
failures and the banks are in a better
condition than for a long time with large
cash reserves.

A young man was sprinkling the floor
of the Agricultural building. The water
from his can splashed in front of Mis-
souri,, Honduras and the corn studded
pavilion of Iowa. At last the drops be-
gan to fall in front of the Kansas exhibit.
ssStop that! stop that?" exclaimed the
manager. whose long beard crawled over
display of wheat like a brown scarf.
ssThis exhibit is realistic. You can't
sprinkle water about this state. Kansas
with water would not be Kansas at all.
Let the dust fly around here. Take your
can to Honduras or over there to Iowa.
We are here for medal. Kansas is dry

show what may be grown in a sand dune
