FIRED UPON
American Vessel Stopped by
a Spanish Gunboat.
TWO SHOTS WERE FIRED AT HEB
The Carrie &c. Lane Was Boarded by
Marines in Cuban Waters, but
Was Not Searched.

Breal1@ater, Del, July 26.--Captain
Quick, of the schooner Carrie Il. Lane,
upon her arrival here tonight, had a
tale TO tell about thrilling encounter
In Cuban waters with Spanish gun.
boat Two shots were fired at the Lane
by the man-of-war, and one Of the
schooner's men narrowly escaped be-
ing killed by one Of them. The vessel
was made to have to and give an ac-
count Of herself before being allowed
to proceed.
The schooner was Off Cape Antonio
and making good time before stiff
breeze, when, on the 14th inst, she
sighted steamer flying the Spanish
flag following her. While he was
making up his mind what course to
pursue, a puff Of smoke curled over the
strangers port bow, and round shot
whistled uncomfortably close TO the
schooner's mainmast, plunging into the
water ON the leequarter. Captain
Quick gave the order to haul in sail and
bring the vessel to. While this was
being done. one Of the crew ran out on
the bowsprit. As he stood there the
gun on the Spanish warship doomed
again, and another shot sped on its
way toward the American craft, this
time coming SO close to her that the
sailor on the bowsprit swears he dis
tinctly felt the wind caused by its
rapid fight. The Lane soon came to a
dead stop, and the gunboat drew up
under her quarter.
A boat was lowered and four Spanish
marines, under the command of lieu
tenant in the Spanish navy, came
aboard. They were fully armed, and
their leader politely lifted his hat and
demanded to know from what port the
Lane had sailed and whittier she was
bound. Captain Quick gave the re-
quired information and no further
search was made. The vessel was per-
mitted TO continue on her course with
out further molestation.
Captain Quick says he could not get
the name of the gunboat. He adds
that after the first shot was fired at the
Lane he caused the stars and stripes to
be hoisted, but the only response the
Spanish made was the second shot.
The gunboat did not hoist her colors
until after the first shot was fired.
William Quick reached here tonight
and wired his agents in Philadelphia
and will await advices from them be-
fore determining whether to consider
the action of the Spaniards as an out
rage.

CHANCE OF VENUE REFUSED.
The Durrant Case Must Be Tried In
San Francisco.


San Francisco, July 27.-A number
OF young women struggled with other
curiosity seekers to obtain admission
to the trial Of Theodore Durrant for the
murder Of Blanche Lamont today. The
proceedings opened with the district
attorneys attempt to controvert the
defendants application for change Of
venue. After number of affidavits
has been presented, stating that the
defendant would have fair trial in
San Francisco, Judge Murphy denied
the application for change of venue,
giving Durrant the right to renew the
motion later on. The court announced
that the so-called play based upon the
Emanuel church murders could not be
produced during the trial or while the
action was pending in the superior
court. The empaneling Of jurymen
commenced. Fifty Of the jurors offer
ed excuses, which were accepted by the
court. From the other 100 jurors who
had been summoned, an attempt was
then made to secure twelve talesmen.
Durrant, who was accompanied in the
court by his father and mother, main
tanned his calm and unconcerned de-
meanor.
After the recess, Attorney Deuprey
challenged the entire panel of jurors
on the ground that they were not
drawn, summoned and impaneled in
accordance with the provisions of the
code of civil procedure. He offered
in evidence the records of the superior
court in relation to the drawing of jur-
ors this year. He asked the clerk to
produce these records As Deputy Piper,
who alone had the combination to the
safe where the records are kept, was
out Of town, the case was adjourned
until tomorrow morning.

RUIN IS THREATENED
Textile Industry in Central
Europe in Danger.
CIRCULAR SENT BY LUxEMBURG
Conpetition and Overproduction Is Re-
sulting I'm the Sale OF Goods From
Retail Auction Shops.

Washington, July 28. 8.--Some of the
leading business firms of Luxemburg
have united in a circular letter address
sed to all representative merchants in
that place, calling attention to the ruin
which threatens the textile industry
of Central Europe in consequence of
the competition and overproduction re-
sulting in the accumulation of great
stocks in the warehouses and in the
hands of wholesale dealers.
Because this circular may point out
dangers that lie in wait in the future
for American manufacturers, United
States Commercial Agent g. 81. Muir
ply, at Luxemburg, has transmitted
extracts from it to the department of
state for publication in the consular re-
ports. In part, the circular reads as
follows:
The great overproduction in all
branches of industry, and the conse-
quent accumulation Of stocks; threat
ening clouds arising from time to time
ON the political horizon; the wide
spread discomfort aroused by socialistic
agitation, and the unfavorable news
received from other parts of the world,
seem sufficient causes Of the crisis now
prevailing in Central Europe in all
branches of business. To these misfor-
tunes, another has been recently added,
which threatens complete revolution
in the retail business. As the locust
threatens the fields, so all the retail
business is threatened by new sort of
retail auction shop. In nearly every
town in Germany, France and Belgi-
um such shops have been opened, to
the great injury of local trade Large
and extensive advertisements are scat.
tered broadcast to inform the public OF
the sale of masses of so-called auction
wares. In reality though, these are
old wares which it is desied to dispose
of at any price, or they are in some
cases worthless wares manufactured
especially for this purpose.
"In France, Belgium and Germany
drastic measures have been adopted
against these swindlers. In all the
cities the established firms have united
and made common cause against these
dangerous competitors, and their eff
forts have been successful. Theil
united strength has succeeded in keep
ing the auction-shop merchants withiI
certain bounds; new laws have beer
made, which virtually protect mercan
tile houses and the purchasing public.
The circular closes with an earnes
appeal to every honest business man il
the city to join the Luxembourg Mer
chants Union.

Americans and Homo Rule.

London, July 25.-Mr. Walter
Phelp Dodge has written a letter to
the Times, in which he repudiates the
statement made by Chauncey NJ. De-

for Ireland. Mr.. Dodge says that
while the politicians are compelled to
truckle to the Irish vote, many Ameri-

The Treasury Department Cannot Stop
Bulifghting at Atlanta.
Washington, July 27.-The treasury
department has declined to entertain
the protest by the vice-president Of the
Humane Society against the admission
into this country of bulls and toreadors
from Mexico for ,bnllfighting exhibi-
tions at the Atlanta exposition. The
secretary was askedsthat the bulls be
excluded on the ground that they were
immoral instruments, and the torea-
dors. that their admission would vio-
late the contract labor law. Assistant
Secretary Hamlin, in reply, cites Sec
ton 10 of the act of August 28, 1894,
prohibiting the importation of "any
obscene book, pamphlet, drawing,
printing, instruments, or any other
articles of an immoral nature" etc.
The letter then proceeds:
81 have to inform you that the de-
partment is unable to percieve that
the importation of bulls for. the pur-
pose indicated comes within the letter
or spirit of the prohibition contained
in the provision Of the law quoted, and
Therefore declines to issue the desired
instructions.
IF, as stated, the exhibition of bull.
fighting is prohibited by the laws OF
Georgia, it is presumed that the au-
thorities OF that state would prevent it,
but the subject does not appear to come
within the jurisdiction OF the depart
ment."

Last Monday night young fell
low who went by the name of Har-
ry Palmer, who was employed by
George Barton, and a boy named
Curt. Ellis, whose people reside in
Silver City, stole two horses, sad
dies, brides, blankets, ETC., and
left for parts unknown. Palmer
took Charlie Bender's horse and a
saddle belonging to Piute, also a
robe and pair of blankets belonging
to Barton. The Ellis boy took a

AL. Perkins, for whom he had been
working for a short time. 1t was
at first supposed that the boys
went towards Smith Valley, but
they were followed in that direction
quite distance Tuesday and no
trace of them found. Palmer is
from Chicago, and landed here from
San Francisco about three months
ago. He worked at the Union
Hotel for a time and latterly for
George Barton. 1t is said that
Palmer is not his right name. 1t
is not likely that any effort will be
made to bring the thieving young
sters back, as the property stolen
will not warrant the expense.

game played in Carson. Dayton is
the place where the game should be
played, and what objections the
Virginia boys can raise to coming
here we do not see. The grounds

Superintendent Boyle, of the
Alta, says that drain tunnels are
going to be run to the Silver City
and American Flat mines. This,
we think, is the wisest move the
Comstock mining companies can
make. It is well known that Sill
yer City has good mines below the
water level, which have not been
worked because of the expense in
working them. It is estimated
that each tunnel will be about
5000 feet in length, to connect
with the tunnel which connects the
Alta works with the Sutro tunnel
This will not only drain a vast
scope of ground but will, no doubt,
encounter rich lodges of ore. 1t is
a far better scheme than the de-
velopment of the Brunswick Lode.
The work done in and about Silver
City, in the way of mining, has
proven that that country has rich
gold lodges, while it is very doubt
full if anything of value will be
found in the Bru nswick Lode.
