GERMAN ARMY BILL.
1t Passes Second Reading in the
ReichStag.

1t Passes Second Reading in the
ReichstaG.
BERLIN. July 1.-THE army bill passed
its second reading in the Reichstag to-
day. 1t will pass its third reading to-
morrow.
During the debate Count Herbert Bis
marck made a speech that aroused great
interest. He declared that he was salts
fed with the adoption of the bill,
though he was opposed TO the two-year-
service system. because he thought the
term of service might corrupt the army.
The third-year service would serve as a
refprmatory school.
This remark caused great uproar,
which for a time the President was I'M
able to quelI.
Herr Won Kardof appealed to the
house to sustain the Chair against such
scandaIous violation of the right of de-
bate.
The uproar finally ceased, and Caprivi
followed Bismarck. He said the two
year system could be carried through
without the dangers Count Herbert
feared. Count Herbert frequently inter-
rupted the Chancellor, who at last ap-
peaIed to the President, and Count Her
bert was called to order.
Herr Bebel, leader of the Social DEM
ocrats, said in listening to Count Herbert
the house had heard the father speaking
through his son. The great father had
been unable to kill the Social Democracy,
and still less was the son able to do SO.
With regard to the socialism permeating
the army through the two years of serv-
ice system, he could tell the q overnment
that permeation had already been eff
fected. From the ranks upward social
ism had its adherents. BebeI concluded:
I'VE exist. You will not be able to get
ride of US except by killing"
The remarks caused most decided
sensation. Later in the day Count Her
bert Bismarck planted himself before the
Chancellor and said he desired to correct
statement made by Caprivi. This gave
rise to another uproar, and the President
reminded the Count that the article on
which he wished to comment had already
passed the house. The Count retired to q
seat amid bowls. Later he apologized to
the Chancellor for irritating him by in
terruptions Caprivi bowed acceptance
of the apology.

1t is Now In the Hands of the Comp
trolIer of Currency.
KANSAS CITY Mo-, July 1.-THE Ma
tional Bank of Kansas City suspended
payment this afternoon, and is now in
the hands of the Comptroller OF Cur
rency. The assets, President j. S. Chick
said, will be between 81, 000,O 600 and s, 0O0,-
900, and the liabilities between $500, 600
and 100000. He is confident the de-
positors will be paid dollar for dollar.
President Chick saiu the suspension
was due to the steady withdrawal Of de-
posits since the beginning of the tinan-
posits early in May" he said. 1.-THE de-
mand on US went along until the failure
of the savings bank last Tuesday, and
every day since then the Withdrawals of
deposits have been heavier. We thought
we could get through to-day, but we were
forced to quit just five minutes before the
usual time. Last night we asked the
clearinghouse for help, and that fact
was telegraphed to creditors and deposit
ors out of town, and caused the run to be
heavier. We asked for ample aid from
the Clearinghouse, and this morning we
received S35, 200. Orders for currency
came i'll so heavily, however, that we
could not possibly fill them"
The National Bank of Kansas City had
capital stock of 81. 900, 900. The last state
ment, on May 4th, showed surplus fund
of 100000, and undivided profits of S24,-

MINING INTERESTS.

San Francisco.

Large and Influential Meeting Held Mt
San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, July IA large and
influential meeting of the represent
alive mining men of the State was
held this afternoon under the auspices OF
the Miners Association of California.
There was very full attendance of the
Executive Committee of the Association
present. Mr.. Netf, the well-known min
ing man Of Nevada County, presided.
After w. G. Ralston, Secretary of the
association, had called the roll and the
minutes of the previous meeting had
been read, the principal business of the
day was taken up: That public opinion is
now in favor of the immediate resump-
ton of work on the auriierous gravel
beds of this State; that merchants and
others have been compelled to recognize
the results of the suspension of
gold extraction from these mines
during the past ten years; that
the gradual diminution Of business with
the small towns of the mountain regions,
which have been blotted out one by enc
as the adjoining mines on which they de-
pended were closed, has been felt more
severely as time rolled along and gold
became less plentiful than it was in early
days.
In view of this and the difficulty of re-
Stunning work expeditiously under the
present law, it was decided to ask Con-
gress when it meets to make a special APP
preparation to erect the necessary re-
straining dams, which will permit the re-
sumption of work without any further
delay.
The meeting also decided to extend to
the Midwinter Fair Association every as
sistance in its power to make the exhibit
OF mining as complete as possible.
Among those invited to participate in
the meeting were congressman Loud,
Mcguire, Caminetti, Geary and Hilborn.

DEATH OF ROBERT RUSSELL.
Verdict Returned by the Coroner's
Jury at Eureka.

Verdict Returned by the Coroner's
Jury at Eureka.
EUREKA Cali, July 1.-THE jury on
the remains of Robert Russell, mate of
the schooner Mabel Gray, found in the
bay Wednesday evening, returned the
following verdict: 1--WE find the deceased
was named Robert Russell; that he was
native of Scotland; that he was aged
about 43 years; that he was at one time
member of the Sailors Union, he having
joined the said union for protection, but
that he shipped as a non-union sailor, he
having stated to his shipmate that he did
not care to sail under the auspices of the
union; that on the night of the 2Sth OF
June, 1898, at Eureka, Humboldt County.
CAL, he was threatened by some person
or persons, supposed to be union sailors.
which threat caused such fear on the part
of said deceased that he applied to Police
officer Conant of Eureka, CAL, to protect
him and accompany him to his vessel.
then lying at the mill wharf of the Lin
coin Mill in Eureka, Humboldt County,
Cal: that he came to his death on the
night of June 18th or the morning of June
30, 1898. in the city of Eureka, Humboldt
County, Cal, at the hands of some person
or persons unknown to us at this time;
that he was first struck with some i'm
plement, whereby he was rendered in
sensible; that he was then gagged, bound,
weighted and thrown into the water of
Humboldt Bay. where he met his death
by suffocation, caused by the gag in his
mouth, or by drowning"
The public sentiment here is that the
members of the Sailors Union were
implicated in RusselPs death, but no di-
rect evidence has been presented to that
effect.
The inquest as to the cause of the death
of Michael Burke. whose body was found
in the bay last Tuesday, was concluded
to-day. Richard Thomas, husband Of
the woman Burke came to Eureka with.
has been found and brought here to
testify. He has been on a protracted
spree and too drunk to know that Burke
had been murdered, hence the suspicion
resting upon him was cleared up. The
verdict of the jury was that Burke came
to his death at the hands of unknown
persons

rectors of the Nicaragua Canal Company
had meeting to-day to hear plans to de-
wise means to raise money. General
Manager Taylor presented a plan, among
the features of which was to issue and
market 100000 in bonds, the estimate
cost of the canal to be fixed at $50, 900, 600,
as the present prices and methods allow
a difference between the newly -estimated
cost and the $50, 900, 900 bonds to be used
for payment of interest during construc-
ton. An active propaganda is to be es-
tablished all over the country as pre-
liminary to placing the bonds on the mar
ket. The money to be obtained from the
first subscription is to be at once en-
pioyed in active work on the line of the
canal. Ii the amount of the first sub
scription is satisfactory the bonds are to
be offered at 80, if unsatisfactory at 90.
The amount of bonds sold in the second
three months should not be less than ten
nor more than twenty millions. The
committee will consider the plan further.
