CHINESE IN CHICAGO.
An Arrest Which May be Followed by
Serious Consequences.

Serious Consequences.
CHICAGO, October 23.-In placing in
the county Jail on charge OF arson All
Hong, alias Hong Hop, and Hong Sin,
alias All Hong Sling, United States Fire
Inspector Cowie and Fire Marshal Con-
way have brought on fierce fight be-
tween themselves and the police on one
hand apd some of the most influential
Cinnamon in the United States, the pris-
oners being among them, on the other
hand. To-day notices were posted IN
Chinatown offering $500 to any China
man who would kill either Mr.. Conway
or Mr.. Cowie. AS soon as the fact be-
came known Chief of Police Ripley no.
titled Sam Moy and Hip Lung that he
would hold them personally responsible
for the safety of the two officials whose
lives have been threatened. Sam Moy
and Hip Lung are the richest Chinese in
Chicago, and for years they have ruled
supreme among their Countrymen in
Chicago. Messrs. Conway and Cowie
are determined to convict the prisoners,
against whom the most overwhelming
evidence exists. When Hong Sling was
taken into custody thirty-four annual
passes on the many different American
railroads were found in his possession,
which fact, Mr.. Cowie states, indicates
that he has been engaged in smuggling
Cinnamon into the United States on a
large scale. The passes were made out
in the name of All Hong Sling. To-day
Mr.. Cowie found it necessary to go into
Chinatown for witnesses who had notl-
fed him that they feared their lives were
not safe. Altogether he has eight wit
nesses, and says that they are in safe
keeping and will be kept from coming
into contact with their Countrymen until
after the trial is over. While in China
town Inspector Cowie was told by one of
his witnesses that at an open meeting of
Chinese in the morning a reward of $500
had been offered to any who would kill
either Inspector Cowie or Mr.. Conway or
three of the witnesses. Notices to that
effect were posted through Chinatown
directly after the meeting. The China
men told Mr.. Cowie that it meant sure
death to pull down the notices, but the
Inspector was soon in possession of them.
He had one translated, and it reads as
| follows:
"To all Chnamen We swear by all
| the Chinese gods that the sum of $500
will be paid to any Chinaman who sends
death to either of the men known as In
spector Cowie or Inspector Conway or to
any three of our countrymen who intend
to assist in the prosecution OF men of
their race. Death and fire will surely be
given him who betrays or takes down
this notice"
1t is claimed that two Cinnamon have
! fired stores in Salt Lake City and other
Western cities as we'll as in Chicago.

DEpRED >r1oN CLAIMS.
Fully Eleven Thousand Are Now Pend

Fully Eleven thousand Are Now Pend
ing Before the Courts.
WASHINGTON, October 23.-There are
now pending before the United States
Court Of Claims about IL 600 cases aris-
ing from the depredations committed by
the various Indian tribes on property of
pioneer settlers of the West. The claims
aggregate nearly $l1, 100000, and come
! from persons in California, Oregon, New
Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Alaska,
| Idaho, Washington, Montana, North Da-
kota and South Dakota and other States
in the South and West. Between two
and three hundred lawyers are engaged
| in pushing their liquidation. An official
of the Interior Department in speaking
/ OF the matter said to-day:
"Since the date of the Indian depre-
dalton act, which conferred jurisdiction
on the United States Court OF Claims to
settle and determine the losses sustained
/ by the settlers and to give judgment for
| the same, over H. 900 cases have been
| filed in that court. An Assistant At
torney-General was provided for under
that act as defense for the United States
and the Indians. Judgments have been
rendered for something over 100000,
which Congress subsequently paid.
Since the advent of the present admin
istration judgments have been rendered
against the United States and the In
dian tribes amounting, with those left
over from the last administration, to
about $3.50, 900. These judgments were
reported by the Attorney General to
Congress at its last session, and an appro-
priation of $4,000 was made less than
one~third the amount of judgments re-
ported. In this appropriation bill was
a prOviso that before any payments could
be made the Acknowledgement was re-
quired to investigate each judgement,
and if in his opinion no additional de-
Tense could be made on the part of the
government and the Indians, he was TO
certify such judgments to the treasury
for payment.
"a question has now arisen upon the
proper construction of this appropriation
act, and the Treasury Department seems
to be in doubt as to whether the judg-
ments should be paid in the order in
which they were rendered or in the or
der in which they were certified for pay
ment by the Acknowledgement. The
law directed the Secretary of the In
terror to certify as to what funds there
are belonging to the various Indian
tribes which can be used for the pay
ments of such judgments, as the funds
of the Indians are primarily liable under
the act for such payment. This matter
has been referred by the Secretary Of
the Interior to the Indian Commissioner
for report, but, owing to the inadequacy
of the clerical force of the Indian bureau,
it seems questionable when a report will
be made. The practical effect of that
is that these judgments, which it was
the intention of Congress to pay, and
which it has in part provided for, will
remain unpaid until after Congress con-
venes in December, when some special
legislation will probably be had.

THE DEATH PENALTY.
1t is Imposed on the seattle-Meeker
Murderer.


SEATTLE, October 20.-Thomas Blanck,
the murderer of Charles H. Birdwell and
William Jeffrey and the would-be MUIR
derer of Detective Cudihee, was to-day
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and the death penalty imposed.
This was not done, however, until he
had made two desperate attempts to es-
cape and forced the Sheriff to have him
taken into court by main force. Blanck
was ugly at the long drawn-out trial,
and was watching for the first oppor-
tunity to escape, which he thought pre-
scented itself while he was being taken
upstairs to the courtroom between two
guards. One guard had a pair of nip
pers around his right wrist and the other
was walking at his side. Suddenly Blanck
struck the man who had the nippers on
the jaw, knocking him down the stairs.
The other guard jumped after them and
grabbed BlanCk by the collar. A fierce
fight ensued, in which the prisoner was
finally tlOored by blow on the right
temple from a revolver in the hands of
the guard he had first struck. Blood
covered the marble floor at the base of
the stairs, and the prisoner left trail
of blood on the way back to the jailer's
office.
After he was ready to go again to court
he became sullen, and refused to move.
Nippers were put on each hand, but he
still refused to move. Suddenly he
sprang to his feet, shot both hands out
and then commenced to kick and bite at
his guards. Jailer Munroe tried to grab
him by the throat, but Blanck caught
the jailer's finger in his mouth and bit
off a large piece of flesh. The fight
lasted three minutes, and it took five
men to overpower him. He still refused
to 90 to court and it. was only by the
combined force of four men that he was
taken in. His counsel presented no wit
nesses. This was great surprise, as it
was expected a strong fight would be
made on the insanity plea. The jury
was out thirty-fve minutes, and brought
in verdict of murder in the first de-
gree and imposed the death penalty.
Blanck's record before he commenced
killing people here is still secret, which
he has not divulged even to his attorney.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-On a mo-

of Appeals for the District OF Columbia
ordered the appeal which had been asked
for in this case stricken from the docket
of the court on the ground that it had
not been entered within the statutory
time. This ends the litigation as far as
the courts of the District are concerned,
and leaves the plaintiff free to collect
her judgment OF $4,000 and costs from
Colonel Breckenridge when and how she
can. Mr.. Breckinridge's salary for the
remainder of his Congressional term is
exempt by law from seizure, and there is
no provision in the laws of the District
of Columbia, as there is in the statutes
of some States. for the arrest and deten-
ton of any person about to leave the
jurisdiction of the State without COM
plying with the judgments of the courts.

THE NAVAL EQUIPMENT.
A Great Increase in the Coal Bills of
the Navy.

A Great Increase III bHe SohA 'ihiS VI
the Navy.
WASHINGTON, October 23.-According
to Commodore Chadwick, chief OF the
bureau of naval equipment, the coal bills
of the navy are steadily increasing, ow-
ing to the greater consumption OF coal
by modern war vessels. The annual re-
port of the bureau shows there will be
a deficiency of $780, 900 in the appropria-
ton for equipment, owing to the fact
that $191 POI more was expended for coal
in the past year than in the year previ-
Gus. There were purchased at home AZ
1870 tons of coal, costing $l78, 1853, OF
which 9,505 tons were purchased on the
Pacific Coast at an average cost OF T2O
per ton and 80, 635 tons on the Atlantic
Coast at a cost of 1884 per ton. There
was spent abroad for coal $462, 1872 at an
average cost OF 1886. The report shows
that during the year great improve
ment has been made in night signals. A
new boat compass has been adopted, and
aluminium has been successfully substi-
tuted for bronze in pinnacle fittings.
Under the head of the naval observatory
attention is called to the fact that, I'M
less the corps of professors of mathe-
MATES ia reorganized, the observatory
will in the near future have but one as
tronomer available for duty, the others
retiring in the course OF few years.

CENTRAL PACIFIC's DIVIDEND.
Because 1t Was Passed the English
Shareholders Made Inquiries.

SAN Francisco, October 20.-G. L..
Lansing, Secretary and Controller of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company, when
asked about the troubles which are now
worrying the English shareholders, said !:
CAS- | understand it, these English
shareholders are becoming anxious about
the condition of the road. They have
received no dividend for year, and there
is no prospect of another dividend in
the near future. The reason is easily
explained The earnings of the road will
not permit it. The last dividend was
paid September Is, 1898. Owing to the
general depression of business the semi
annual dividend, which was expected
last spring, was permitted to lapse, and
pending a settlement of the government
Indebtedness, no more dividends will be
paid. Under the old lease the Southern
Pacific was obliged to pay the Central
Pacific shareholders an annual dividend
of per cent, payable semi-annually,
whether the earnings of the road justi-
fed it or not. Under the new lease the
Southern Pacific is bound by no such
obligation, and as the Central Pacitic's
earnings will not permit a dividend,
there is no dividend to pay" 1t is said
the English shareholders may attempt
to have a receiver appointed over the
Central Pacific, but Secretary Lansing
says that such a thing would be i'm
possible. amy creditor could take steps
to have a receiver appointed, he said,
but the English shareholders are not
creditors; they are in the company.
They have no recourse"

AN OMNIBUS INDICTMENT

Omcers Again Indicted.

Ofcers Again Indicted.
CHICAGO, October 22.-The Federal
grand jury to-day returned an omnibus
Indictment against Debs and other Off
GERS OF the American Railway Union
and a large number OF parties charged
with participation in obstructing the
mails on different roads last summer. In
all sixty-six persons are included in the
blanket Indictment The grand jury of
last summer, called to investigate the
strike, brought in large number of in
dictments, one for each man, in which
Debs and the other officers of the Amer
lean Railway Union were charged with
conspiring with the persons on the vari-
Gus roads who committed acts OF VIC
lence. 1t was feared that, if a convic-
ton were not secured on one of these
indictments, the government might be
barred from trying the officers on the
others, for the reason that the conspir-
acy alleged is practically the same and
the officers are defendants in all the
cases. In order to avoid any danger on
that score the omnibus affair, on which
all officers and strikers may be tried at
once, was returned to-day. The indict-
ment includes but few defendants who
are not in the indictments.
