Row Between a Mint Emplnye and His
Mistress Leads to the Discovery.

CARSON, New, June 4.-Flo Stewart ap-
peared before a police judge this morning
and swore out a warrant for the arrest of j.
Pickler, with whom she has been living, for
striking her. The warrant was issued and
Pickler was arrested. Later she told the at
torneys for John l.. Jones, who is under ar
rest for being responsible for the United
States mint shortage, that Pickler had a
considerable amount of bullion from the mint
secreted about his house and yard.
Upon making a search the officers dis
covered several large pieces of retorted
amalgam, weighing ten and one-half pounds
principally of silver When confronted with
this Pickler said it belonged to his brother
in Idaho, who sent 1t TO him to be coined
six months ago, but owing to the trouble in
the mint he did not dare send 1t in. Picker
said 1t was worth $500, but the officers think
1t worth more. The search was abandoned
but will be continued tomorrow. The woman
stated they would find gold granulations, but
II there were any Pickler had disposed OF
them. She stated Pickler had been stealing
bullion from the mint for some time. The
woman is in hiding for fear he will kill her
Jones attorneys are satisfied this discovery
will lead to something tangible soon. PlckleI

Wreck Picked up.

Wreck Picked Up.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 4.-An Examiner
special from the City Of Mexico says that five
more passengers of the tcolima have been
ad ied to the list Of the saved. They are;
Jose Pequerros of Acapulco. Mexico; A. S.
Maria ]. j. Noninns, two others whose names
have not as yet been ohtained and who are
stopping with ex-Consult Mcclellan at st.
Vincent. 1t is not known II these two un-
known survivors are passengers or sailors
The five were picked up nearly dead by one
Of the rescue crews on the beach at Mauquily
and the three named are noW at Pueblita on
their way to Colima.
The sailors from the Tesculng steamer
Mazatlan, who were capsjEed in the sea, all
escaped alive.
The hurricanes on the Pacific which
wrecked the Colima have continued to rage
and have done much damage to the shipping
within their range.
Telegraphic advices to the Examiner
bureau from the agencies of the Pacific Mai
at ManZanlllo from Waller +. Herbert man
ager Of the Colma railroad say that the
American schooner Hayes, thought TO hal
from San Francisco and commanded by Cap
tain Peterson, went ashore at Navidad. Mon
day afternoon. Fortunately no lives weri
lost. The Hayes left ManZanillo on May q
to load lumber at Navidad for Theodor,
Padila. She encountered the same rougl
seas which struck the Colima and battlet
fercely with northwest winds. While still
in ballast on Navidad she dragged he
anchors and went ashore. She is not badl!
damaged and can be unloaded with the as
sistance of a steamer, which has been asket
for. II is probable the Mazatlan will pro
ceed to the grounded vessel and pull 1t ou

SPAIN HAS APOLOGIZED.
Madrid Government Explains Fully the
AIlianca Amir.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The State depart
ment today received from Minister Taylor at
Madrid the complete and full explanation
and apology called for by Secretary Gresham
The document has been awaited for some
time with interest, and it was undoubtedly
one Of the main subjects which Acting Secre-
tary of State Uhl brought to the atten-
tion of the cabinet at the meeting today.
The answer is most cordial in tone and is
expressive of the fullest disavowal of the
action of the commander of the gunboat
which fired upon the Allianca. 1t is said to
be entirely satisfactory to this government
as it fully meets in letter and spirit the
demands made.
The following official statement concern
ing Spains answer was made at the State
department today: I'm the Allianca affair
Spain in its reply dsavows the act of firing
upon the Alliance, expresses regret at the
occurrence itself and assures this government
that measures have been taken to prevent

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 4.--The demo-
cratic state convention called by the state
central committee to adopt Ia policy for the
party in Illinois upon the money question
will convene at noon tomorrow. There is
every indication tonight that every county
will be represented by its full quota of del
egates. The sentiment among the delegates
in favor of free silver is so nearly unanimous
that there is little prospect of even show
of fight. The movement in favor of ma
tional monetary convention seems to be gain
ing force every hour. Judge Goodrich of
Chicago is one Of the few Sound money"
democrats who are delegates to the conven-
tion. He will oppose the scheme to call a
national monetary convention. He said to-
night that he could see no sense in such a
proceeding here.
1t is probable there will be meeting Of
prominent popuists tomorrow evening, and
that an address to the country based upon
the action of tomorrow's convention will be
issued.
When the county delegates and visitors ar
rived this evening they marched at once to
the executive mansion. where Governor Alt
geld received them with free silver speech.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The Associated

currency conversion law places that country

retary Cruz of the Chilian legation, when
asked today what effect the new law would
have, replied: mo effect whatever on our

it will insure a stable currency. 1t is not ex-
pected that gold will circulate much in or
dinary commercial transactions. Silver will

issued substantially upon the United States
system. To carry the provisions of the new
law into effect the president of Chill is au-
thorized to sell some of the government
nitrate beds to procure the coin necessary
to retire this paper money. For three years
he is also authorized to coin so 900 900 of

EACH ROAD WANTS TIE LION'S SHARE

Western Roads No Nearer Together on
Percentages Than at the Outset.
y CHICAGO, June 4,-The western lines
made no headway today in their attempt
TO settle percentages in their proposed
freight pools. The difficulty is largely ow-
ing to the demands Of the Missouri Pacific,
which the other lines declare exorbitant.
Another controversy developed today, in
deciding which are the leading lines and
which consequently should get the largest
share Of the business from the different
gatcways. The st. Paul, Burlington and
the Rock Island, for instance, have ter
miSals in Kansas City, Omaha and st.
Pan Many other roads have two common
terminals, II was utterly impossible Ia
bring about an agreement as to which
line should lead from any terminal. The
executive officers determined to continue tho
session tomorrow, but none OF them thought
there was much chance of an agreement
II they finally disagree, the matter will be
left to arbitration. provided the severa
roads agree TO arbitration. Here again Is
a stumbling block, as the Missouri Pacific
has been imperative in its demands, and vii
not let outsiders settle their demands. Fail
ing some settlement. there is certain tC
be rate war, which will in the end force
an agreement.

jim HfLL'S INTENTIONS.
May Establish Line of Steamers for the
Oriental Trade.


PORTLAND, Ore, June 4.-The impress
sion prevails in railroad circles that James
j. Hill, president of the Great Northern
who is now in this city, intends to estab-
lish a line of steamers to the orient at no
distant date and that his present western
trip is to look into the feasibility of the
undertaking and determine the point at
which to put on the line. Mr. Hill has been
frequently in consultation with several prom
inent business men and finanCers of this
city. Several Chinese merchants are among
those interested. C. II. Denny, eX-consu to
Shanghai, visited Mr.. Hill. After leaving
Hill Judge Denny said that the subject of
their conversation had been the Chinese
trade. He declined to say anything further.
Mr.. Hill would say nothing definite regard
ing the steamship line, simply stating that
the matter would be made public at the
proper time. When asked regarding the
earning capacity of the Great Northern west
of Montana and the rumors that the western
end was eating up the profits of the eastern
end, Mr.. Hill said: II am very well salts
fed with the business of the western line.
Our earnings are not as great as we would
like, but the road is managed economically
and is going well. 1t is not losing money.
There is one division in the west that makes
as much clear profit as any division in the
entire system, with one single exception.
The Great Northern has never been in such
good condition financially as now"
T. "Do you think the general business condi-
ton of the country is improving"
Yes, / know 1t is There is most per-
ceptible change for the better
Has the free coinage of silver agitation
hurt the country?"
Decidedly. 1t has impaired credits; ouI
credits are not very good now and If there
is ever danger of a free coinage bill being
passed by the next congress there will be q
