vfcroRfA. Oct. 24--fn regard to the re-
ported wreck Of the little steamer La Pa
Iona off Gordon head on Sunday night
during heavy storm, Customs Collector
Mine says:
s'Ihe boat never entered at customs, and
doubt very much that she entered Vic

for her for three days. They report ind
Ing neither wrerkago nor boat I don't
doubt the wreckage story, bat do doubt
that the boat has been wrecked. Il is
qatts possible such things as were found
might have been thrown overheard. The
present possessors knew they could never
enter here without falling into the hands
OF the Law. American newspaper reports
thet she became British bottom arc false.
We do not permit British vessel to float
the Union Jack without inquiring her ped
iRree."
United States Consul Myers says: ''Da-
wilson, supposed TO have represented the
owner aud got left I'm Victoria, never re-

shroadcd In mystery, and there are those
who. while believing the wreck was found,
doubt that the Paloma has been wrecked.

NEW York. Oct. 24.-Suit was brought
in ths New York supreme court today
against the United Press for the appoint
ment Of q receiver and an accounting.
The action runs against the United Press.
Charles 4. Dana. William Laffan, John b.
Walsh. Walter p. Phillips and half dozen
other directors. The complainant is the
Evening News Association of Detroit,
Mich. II Is charged that the United Press
was organized under the laws of New York
in 1882 and recognized in 1854 The CON-
plasnant held five shares OF founders
stock For some years ell went well, bat
some time about the close of 1887 the off,
GERS formed syndicate among themselves
for the organization OF q new company
under the laws of Illinois, to take the bcsi-
ness OF gathering and collecting the news
oil the hands of the original company
The original company had q capital
stock OF $4,000, but the new company
Is capitalized for fifty times as much. that
is. for 100000. On this basis some
stockholders Of the New York company
werc permitted to exchange their shares
in that company for the new issue by tho
Illinois company. receiving fifty shares of
new stock for every share they held Of the
old. This deal completed q contract was
drawn up between the old COM
pany and the new, whereby the
81, 100000 corporation undertook to
take charge OF the new business.
and guaranteed an annual dividend Of 6
per cent? the 81. 900 company. 1t proved
profitable deal for the favored stock
holders who were accorded the privilege
Of exchange of stock. for the new company
began forthwith to pay annual dividends
of per cent, showing that the same BUSH
ness would have yielded 200 per cent de
vidend to the stockholders of the old con-
Germ.
The stockholders of the New York COM
pany who were not given q chance to go
into the Illinois company, were soon
startled 10 find that for guarantee of 8
per cent. they had given away 200 per
cent. For two years past no dividends
have been paid, but the suit instituted to-
day expects TO establish the fact that
the stockholders of the United Press of
New York were defrauded out of consider
able profit during the four or five years
when the United Press of Illinois was
making money. There are also certain
Valuable telegraph contracts which COM
plainant maintains should be used for the
benefit of the New York company alone.
and an effort will be made to prevent what
Is Claimed to be unlawful and fraudulent
use Of these by the Illinois company.
