I learned yesterday that, when ap
preached by friend of Senator Worst.
Senator Satterlund declined to commit
himself to Worst's candidacy for United
States senator, and said he was candi-
date himself. And sure enough-joke or
no joke-John is in the field, and has
opened headquarters in what is famil-
iarly called "poker row''-corner of Fourth
and Broadway-nexs door to the old Pierce
headquarters. Satterlund is an old timer,
and, although republican, couldn't be got
in line of Burke. 1t is surmised that his
sympathies, even now, are little popu,
llstic, although he declares he has no hob
bies. He is farmer, if that counts for
anything, and says beyond cigars and a
good word for the boys he can't go-unless
he mortgages his homestead he is
not likely to do. Seriously, however, there
is considerable to 3atterlund. He has
been in politics good deal and seems to
be popular with his Scandinavian associ-
ates. He was at one time county COM
missioner of Burleigh county, and then
went up to Mclean county, where he has
since lived. In fact, Mclean county was
created at at his suggestion. and usually
when he wants his county, politically, he
has it. He owns store at Washburn, as
we'll as farm, but he promises not to deal
out Grocery" cigars to the boys hers.-

CHINA AROUSED.
A Methodist Missionary Warns the
United States.
RETALIATION POSITIVELY ASSERTED.
Americans VIII be Deported II Unregis-
tered Cinnamon Are shipped Home
Registration Returns Up
to Date.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Rev. DIR. j. s.
Methodist missionary in China and for
nearly a quarter of century secretary
of the missionary board of the Method
ist Episcopal church, which has large
moneyed interests in China, said yes
terday that he had positive informa-
tion from dignitaries of the Chinese
government and from his own Chinese
missionaries that if the Chinese exclu-
sion act is carried into effect and
Chinese are shipped from this country
to China, deported simply because they
are here without having taken out GER
tificates, that Americans in China will
be likewise deported from that country
to the United States.
''If the law is declared constitutional
by the supreme court" he said, 81 an
ticipate that there will be a speedy eX-
odus both of missionaries ard mer-
chants from China in retaliation for our
sending home Chinese from the United
States. Several years ago this course
was urged upon the Chinese government
by one of the censors who was support
ed in his memorial by number of
prominent officials. Lii Hung Chang,
at present viceroy of Chun-Le and
Shang Tung provinces, the great states
man of China, whom Gen. Grant SO
heartily admired, has been very slow
to come to this view of the case
and very unwilling to relinquish his
marked friendship for the United
States. But there is strong ground for
believing that this great statesman has
at last come to the conclusion that the
only way to defend the honor and dig
nifty of his own nation, in view of these
expected acts of oppressive legislation
on our part and in view of the failure of
diplomatic action to produce any rem
edy, is to enter upon a course of re-
taliation and treat Americans in China
as Chinese are treated in America.
This is the most perilous time in the
relation of China to the United States
that has yet been encountered. 1t is
probable that the Methodist church will
make an appeal to the Chinese authori-
ties in case the deportation is decided
upon in behalf of the Methodist mis-
sionaries now stationed in all of the
provinces"
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Returns of
Chinese registration from thirty-five
out of the siXty-three internal districts
in the United States show that 3. 1863
Chinese have complied with the law.
The districts most densely populated
by Chinese have not yet made their re-
turns. 1t is estimated that there are
10000 Chinese in the United States.

WORLDS FAIR NEWS.

who declared that railways and cable
lines had brought at least that many
people into the immediate vicinity
of the fair during the day

forced to spill over into the side shows,
and the ossified family, the fortune
tellers, trick bicycle riders and other
attractions of a like intellectually
reaped enough money to make them
rich for n year to come. Inside the
gates the work OF installation and
the arrangement of the delayed exhib-
its went on as busily as ever Mat
ters are being very rapidly pushed into
shape these days, and it will not be
long before everything is coraolete
Some exhibitors seem to think that the
fair is to last for several years, as they
keep sending their goods along in small
consignments, but those people are COM
paratively few, and the majority are
working desperately to have all ex-
hibits properly arranged.

A CHECK ON PENSIONS.
The Present Bureau Authorities Make i

The Present Bureau authorities Make 1t
More Difficult to Secure Pensions.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-An important
order revoking the celebrated com
pleted fled order of eX-Commissioner
of Pensions Raum has been issued by
Commissioner Lochren. The order says
that hereafter all pending claims in
each case will be taken up for consid
Grafton in the order in which the con-
sidered evidence is filed. the object
aimed at being practical return to the
method in vogue prior to 1889.
1t is calculated that under the new
administration check is going to be
given to the rapid growth of the pen
sion list without the assistance of any
legislation. When the pension appro-
priation bill was passed at the last ses-
sion of congress it was expected
that the amount appropriated
would be about s15,O00,00 short
of the expenditures for the
fiscal year. 1t was anticipated
that deficiency of that amount would
have to be provided for at the coming
session. The average number of orig
inal pension cases passed on each month
is expected, however. to be about one
third what it was under the former adj
ministration of the Office. and that. in
stead of deficiency, there will be a
surplus of about 50. 900. 600.

appropriati tion of 81, 500, 900 was granted.
Mr.. Walker presented his official and
legal Interpretation before the direct
ors, which is to the effect that the law
passed by congress stipulating that the
exposition should be closed on Sunday

NlcARAeuA's REVOLUTION.
A Charge That 1t Was Brought About BY
New York Capitalists.

A Charge That 1t Was brought About by
New York Capitalists.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Senor Don
Horacio Guzman, the Nicaraguan min
lister in Washington since July, 1887.
and a man of unquestioned standing in
the diplomatic corps, linguist, and
well and thoroughly posted on inter
national affairs, declared last night
that the Nicaraguan revolution had
been principally instigated by residents
of New York city who possessed large
capital and were financially interested
in affairs in Nicaragua. His declara-
tion has excited wide attention, both in
diplomatic circles and elsewhere. The
interest is enhanced by his promise that
he would make the names of persons he
referred to public at later day.
The charge is of so serious a char
acter that coming from diplomat OF
standing it will not be allowed to rest.
1t, of course, involves considerations of
an international character as affecting
the obligations of Nicaragua held in
Europe and connected with the canal
question and international guarantees.
The Nicaraguan minister was one of
the earliest callers at the state depart
ment to-day and had an interview with
Secretary Gresham, the result of which
has not been disclosed.
Senior Rokan Mayorga, who was for
merly secretary of the Nicaraguan lega-
ton, is in the city with his wife. He
has received dispatches from member
of his family setting forth the results
of the revolution. practically the same
as announced yesterday. Senor Mayor
ga contradicted the statement of DIR
Guzman that the revolution was in
cited and supported by New York
capitalists. He said that the canal
project was supported by the
revolutionists as well as by the govern
ment that had been overthrown; that
all Nicaraguans of any prominence, no
matter to what party they belonged,
realized that the completion of the in
ternational canal was their life as
people, and he was greatly surprised at
the present attitude of the minister,
especially as he had formerly been one
of the strongest supporters of the
canal.
