The NUGGET is in receipt, from the
DeLamar company's London Office. of
copy of report made by Mr.. Francis
Muir, president of the company, which
he styles "the result of my observations
made during my visit to the mine in the
end of October and beginningo of Novem-
ber last" The report shows that that
gentleman was favorably impressed with
the mine and management, and goes
into considerable detail concerning the
work done at both mine and mill and
the improvements made, but gives but
little information which would be new
to our readers here. 1t shows, however,
that the president is desirous of and
able to give to the shareholders COM
prehensve and intelligent account of
the great property in which they are
interested.

Anthony Brooks as general manager,
and new force of clerks in the house.
The old company has been in busi-

amounting 20 about 100000 year.
The camp has been steadily growing,
and the amount of merchandise now

he Denies That He Sat With His
cased Only in Stockings - Three
Propositions Introduced as a Result
of the Great Railroad Strike.
Washington, July 6.-As a sort Of COM
pensatory move for its long daily sessions
during the three months that the tariff
bill was being considered, the Senate,
after two days recess, spent only an
hour and half in session to-day, and
then adjourned till Monday at noon, hav-
ing first made an order that its daily
meetings shall be hereafter at noon in
stead of two hours earlier.
Several bills were passed during the
short time that the session lasted, includ-
ing the joint resolution continuing the en-
ployment of mechanics and laborers at
the several navy yards.
The great strike had three separate
and distinct propositions directed to it.
One was in the shape of a resolution Of
fered by the populist senator from Ne
braska, Mr.. Allen, looking to the acquisi-
ton and operation by the government of
all the telegraph and telephone and rail
rosd companies of the United States.
The second was bin introduced by Mr.
Davis, rep, of Minnesota, by request, for
| the settlement of controversies between
railroad companies and their employees.
! The third was bill introduced by Mr..
George, dem, of Mississippi. defining the
duties of United States courts and Of
railroad receivers appointed by
United States courts, in cases
of railroad strikes or lockouts, and
providing that obstruction of United
States mails shall be considered such only
when the trains do not contain cars for
the transportation of passengers or
freight. The bills were referred to the
judiciary committee, and the resolution
went over till Monday next. when it will
be entitled to consideration in the morn
ing hour.
CALL ATTACKS THE CORRESPONDENTS
An attack upon the newspaper CORE
spondents in the Senate ga llery in gen
| eral. and upon one in particular, was
made by Mr.. Call, dem, of Florida, in
connection with a story sent to a Florida
newspaper and extensively published,
| representing him as coming in the Senate
! chamber one morning some two weeks
| ago, deliberately removing his shoes, and
| placing his feet, incased in stocking, on a
chair. He denounced the correspondent
| (of whose identity he knew
nothing as liar and hired
! slanderer, although he admitted having
| partially, but carefully removed his shoe,
on account of a pain from a wounded and
| lacerated foot. He offered a resolution
| for the ascertainment and expulsion of
the otfender-which resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on rules.
The agricultural and naval appropria-
ton bills were reported from committee
and placed on the calendar, along with
| fourteen other appropriation bills.
At :35 o'clock the Senate adjourned
till Monday at noon.

MAooN's FREIGHT RATES.
A Charge of Discrimination in the
Recent Readjustment.

Macon, Ga, July 6,-Macon merchants
have just walked up to the fact that in
Commissioner Stahlman's recent read
justment of rates that Macon was com
pletely ignored and that Savannah, At
lanta, Charleston, Augusta, and in fact,
almost every city in the association terri
tory, has been favored with such rates
as to enable them to ship goods
to Southern and Southwestern Georgia,
which is considered Macon's legitimate
territory, at about the rate for which
Macon can ship them. II seems that
Macon merchants did not know of the
unjust discrimination until Macon drum
mers began MOTH wing their houses that
the cities mentioned were selling goods IN
their territory at a lower price than they
could offer, on account of the rates.
When these complaints were received, a
tidal wave of righteous Indignation arose,
and an investigation was instituted
at once. The railroads were
appealed to and the soliciting freight
agents of the Macon roads at once ap-
pealed to Commissioner Stahlman. a
telegram was received from Capt. John j.
Griffin soliciting freight agent of the
East Tennessee. this morning saying he
had seen Commissioner Stahlman, and
Macon would be put on an equal footing
with other cities. No cause has been as
signed for the discrimination

and North Georgia railway cases, on the
application of the receiver and counsel
of that road for compensation for their
services for the past three years, has

lengthy and important one. j. b. Glover,
receiver for the road, asked for SIC, 900 per
year. 1t was shown that he had agreed
to take the position for $1,000 per year,
but he says that he did that in considera-
tion of the fact that the reorganization
committee was to assist him in raising
funds whenever necessary. They failed
to do this, he claimed. and the special
master awarded him So, ZOO per year
The attorneys for the receivers asked
that they be allowed 5000 per month for
their services. IL was shown that II. b.

ence to Immigration

London, July EN- the House of Lords
to-day the Marquis of Salisbury intro
duced bill in regard to alien paupers,
giving the government power to control
immigration similar to those possessed
by the government of the United States.
The bill also deals with anarchists. Eng
land, Lord Salisbury said, appeared to be
the ground upon which anarchistic plots
were Matched. The government ought to
be empowered to expel from the country
men whose presence was likely to cause a
breach of the peace, or lead to the com
mission of crime.
Lord Roseberry assented to that part
of the bill dealing with alien paupers. but
objected to the second part of it with in
dignation, and repudiated the suggestion
that England was the Matching ground of
anarchist conspiracies.
Lord Salisbury said he did not mean
that England willingly harbored crimi-
nails, but ne contended that the fabric of
the law was insufficient to deal with
them.
The bill was then read for the first
