Special to the jersey Citu Nc,cs.

TRENTON, Sept. 25. 1894.-United States
District Attorney Beekman, who is in
attendance here upon the Federal Grand
Jury says the case against the officers
of the Benjamin Atha & Illingsworth
Steel Works of Harrison, charged with
conspiracy to defraud the Government
by defective castings, will not be presented
to the present jury. Mr.. Beekman de-
MED that the case was to be dropped.
and said that from instructions he had
received, the Government intended to
prosecute the case vigorously.
The delay. he said, was due to the
fact that he had not had time yet to
look into the case, and he did not pro-
pose to do anything IN case of such
Importance before he had thoroughly
familiarized himself with all the de-
tails.
1t is probable that the first step taken
will be to give the accused men a hear
ing before Commissioner Isaac RoInaine

SAN DIEGO. Cal. Sept. %, 1S94.-It
has just been learned here that Mrs.
Mary J. Platt. teacher in the Indian
School on the Pichange reservation, near
Temecula, Riverside County, has been
murdered by the Indians. The murdered
woman lived with her niece, Hattie
Leslie, aged ten, in a wing of the school
building. The Indians were apparently
on the most friendly terms with her.
An Indian boy complained to Chief Mat
teopa that the children were being
abused. He went away angry Mrs.
Platt became uneasy when she saw
him, and wrote the Indian agent that
if he did not hear from her again with
in three or four days to come down and
investigate. This letter and telegram
from Temecula announcing the burning
of the Government building at Pichange

REPUBLICAN RUMPUS.

There was rumpus at Repuphcan
enrolment last night in Real Estate
Agent Matthews office, under the Third
National Bank Building, on Pavonia ave-
nue..
Messrs. r. Urquhart and D. j. Dwyer
were contesting for the leadership of the
district Every thing was going along
well, and Register Clerk ]. E. Bross had
taken down a lot of names when
band of men presented themselves for
enrolment.
Urpuhart says they were Dryers
heelers and Dwyer swears that they
were Urquhart's followers, who were
not Republicans, bnt were attempting
to swell the list for Urquhart. Justice
of the Peace Frank Lockwood, who was
there as a delegate, denies both of these
stories and says that it was a gang OF
outsiders who had no business there at
all. Moreover, they made things so
lively that a patrol wagon was sent for
from the Second precinct station house.
Before the arrival of the police heads
were being punched and fists were being
used freely. and indiscriminately. The
principle was, whenever you see a
head, hit it." Roundsman Toppin and
the police arrived, but the row was about
over. When quiet was at last restored,
the work of enrolment continued. and
the rivals, Uuquhart and Dwyer, patched
up their quarrel.

DOWN ON FOREIGN DEVILS.
Eu CobIe to thc United Press.

LONDON, Sept 25, 1S94,-A despatch
from Shanghai to the "Times" states
that the anti-foreign feeling in Pekin is
growing steadily. Foreigners while on
the streets of the city are constantly
subjected to insult and annoyance by
soldiers. The court seems scarcely to
realize the fact that the country is en-
gagged in serious war.
Two Japanese cruisers passed Che-Foo
on the 23d instant.
A despatch from the Central News from
Shanghai says that in an Imperial edict
issued on September % the Emperor Of
China expresses great personal regret at
the death of General Tso-Fung, who was
killed in the recent battle at Ping-Yang,
and orders that his remains be given all
the military honors due a provincial
Commander-in-C Chief, and that his sons
be treated with especial favor. The
despatch further says that Gen. Tso-
Fung, though wounded severely, con-
tinued to lead his troops until struck
by the bullet which killed him.
First Lieutenant Ching, of the Chi
nese cruiser Chih- Yuen, which was sunk
during the recent naval battle at the
mouth of the Yalu River, escaped when
the vessel sunk, and he has organized a
party and started out to endeavor to re-
cover his captains body.
The Chinese declare that the Chih-Yuen
sank a large Japanese iron clad during
the progress of the fight by ramming
her, but this statement is just as strong
ly denied by the Japanese.
Following the example set by Japan
the Chinese Government demands the
registration of all Japanese residing in
China

ALGERINE PHOsPHATES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 1ss4.-The
United States Consul at Algiers re-
ports to the State Department that the
output of the Algerian phosphate beds
will be from 10000 to $4,000 tons during the
present year. against 5000 tons last year,
and the North African supply, which is
apparently inexhaustible, will seriously
compete with the American deposits,
especially in European markets.
1t has been discovered that phosphate
exist in Algeria and Tunis in almost in
credible abundance, and enormous trade
in the product is springfng up on ac-
count of the cheapness with which it
can be procured, and the improved meth
DDS of handling it adopted by the great
companies which have entered the busi-
ness.
The Algerian phosphate costs, deliver
ed in England, about $3.50 a ton, and
only about $5.75 ton in Italy. The in
dustry has barely been developed yet,
and in the next few years it is expected
that African phosphate will be shipped

The finances of the Union League Club
have not been fourishing for more than
year. All the same. the club must
annually pay interest on the purchase
price of the club property, which was
$30,00O and $1,000 of the principal annu
ally. The Treasurer of the Club re-
Gently reported that $1,000 would have
to be paid this week, and that there was
not that amount in the treasury. He
said further that there was owing the
club $1,000 for dues, which ought to be
applied to the. payment of the $1,000.
Last night this matter was discussed
at club meeting, and it was decided to
appoint committee to collect all arrear-
ages If the money is not paid in, the
names of the delinquents will be dropped.
The committee appointed consists of
James c. Young, Charles Ridgway and
Colonel Charles Fuller.
The members of the club raised $1,000
last night to meet the pressing demand
