A Short Talk on the Great Opportunity for
Trade Between Hexico and

When Stephen B. Elkins shakes hands

Senator Elkins is personally one of the
most genial men it is possible to meet,
and you can not talk with him for few
minutes without remarking his keenness
of observation, his wide information and
his personal force. Although past middle
age, his face bears no more wrinkles than
that of bow. Notwith standing his en-
inence in politics and business he assume s
no exclusive air. Perhaps these are the
reasons for his great success in evervth ing

the record of the latest Senator from West

THE WRONG MEN
Two Persons Charged With Robbery Are
Dismissed

Two Persons Charged With Robbery Are
Dismissed
Justice Owens yes terday discharged
Peter White and T. B. Wallace, who had
been charged by ]. d. Gillen with robbing
him of $3.50 on March 10Th. The District
Attorney made the motion for the dis
missal of the cases. Gillen got drunk
several nights ago and went to bed in
lodging house near Whites saloon. When
he awoke from his drunken stupor he
found a young man in bed with him
who said his name was Thomas B. Wallace.
Later on he missed his money. Then
he swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
White and Wallace and they were arrested.
1t transpires that Wallace is "a very re-
spectacle young man and should never
have been taken into custody.

PETERS WAS FORCIBLE
He Cracked a Hobo's Skull When He Refused
to Be Arrested

Antonio Peters, an Italian fish and fruit
pedder, was examined before Justice
Young yesterday on the charge of assault
with deadly weapon upon one John
Hayes at Wilmington, on March Ii.
Five tramps, who had a quantity of
liquor with them, were carousing in the
defendants barn. and the constable, 7. NJ.
Matthews. was called upon to arrest them
for disturbing the peace. Being some
what in the minority the officer sum-
moned five Wilmingtonites to act as
posse comitatus. Antonio Peters was
among the number. John Hays, one of
hobos, was pot valiant and refused to be
arrested by 'dago." He struck Peters
three or TOUR blows, who retaliated by
banging him over the head with his re-
volver, and one cartridge exploded.
When the gang of revelers had been
safely locked up in the calaboose. the
stable placed Peters in another cell
and held him prisoner until a doctor
had examined Hays head, it being the
impression that the wound on it had been
caused by bullet fired deliberately at
him by Signor Peters. The physician
pronounced the wound a confusion of the
scalp produced by blow and the defend
ant was released.
The next day Hays and his four COM
panions were sent to the county Jail for
short term, and here it was discovered
that his skull was fractured. 1t had to be
trephined to save his life, and he now
wears silver plate in his skull to remind
him OF the high old time he had in
Peters barn. But Sheriff Burr swore
out complaint against the Italian and
he was re-arrested. The case was contin-
ued until today to obtain the deposition
of Hays, who is now in the county hosp-
tai in very dilapidated condition.

TWO WOMEN ARE At WAR.
One Arrested on Charges of
Larceny and Threats
to Kill.
The Imprisoned One Says Harsh
Things About Her Ac-
CuSer,

=CHICAGO, ILL, May 15.-Mrs. William
J. MCGOWAN, formerly Vera Ava, alias Ann
O'Delia Diss de Bar, who few years ago
created sensation in the East, has been
arrested on warrant sworn out by Miss
Phoebe Love of this city on charges of max
ing threats to kill and larceny as bailee.
Miss Love says she came to Chicago last
year from Beloit, Wis, and intended to
take course of music lessons. She, with
her father, took rooms on West Harrison
street, and soon after met Mrs. Nc
Gowan. The latter was introduced as Miss
Ava and won her confidence
Continuing, Miss Love says she was
continually bewailing her fate, and said
that she was being prosecuted. Two
months ago Miss Love removed to a house
on Park Row, where she claims Vera as
sumed control and refused to admit her
after Miss Love had been away two weeks.
So warrants were sworn out, Miss Love
averring that Mrs. MCGOWAN had threat
ened to kill her if she attempted to force
her way into the house. AT the station
Mrs. MCGOWAN declared she had been
married to man worth $60,O0O. She said
Miss Love had been her husbands house
keeper and had been retained after the
marriage. Mrs. MCGOWAN also said Miss
Love has a husband in the penitentiary
and she threatened to make it warm for
those who were prosecuting her.
Miss Love denies all this and says she
has never been married.

BOYCOTT ON THE CANADIAN
Action of the Trunk Line AS
ISOLATION on the Northern
Road.
All the Differential Rates on Coast
Business Are Cam
Celled.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 15.-The Trunk
Line Association has virtually declared a
boycott against the Canadian Pacific road.
All the Western roads this morning re-
ceived official notice from the Trunk Line
Association that after May IA all rates via
the Canadian Pacific mentioned in tariff
sheet 32) would be cancelled. Some West
ern lines did not receive the circular until
this morning and the rates were abolished
last night
Tariff sheet 32' is the sheet which in
cludes all the differential rates made on
Pacific Coast business from Trunk Line
Association territory in favor of the
Canadian Pacific.
These are now entirely wiped out of East
Buffalo and Pittsburg, and of course the
differential on immigrant traffic, which has
been accorded the Canadian Pacific, is
done away with as well.
The Western lines are entirely in the
dark as to the cause of the boycott. That
it sprung from the fight between the Can
adian Pacific and the Grand Trunk there
is little doubt and the opinion is general
here that the Grand Trunk, which is a
member of the Trunk Line Association,
has induced its felIow-members to make
common cause with it against an outside
line.

ORDERS FOR THE GRANT.
Urged to Make All Possible
Speed to Warn the North
ern Fleet.
SEIZURES TO BE AVOIDED.
EngIand's Reputation of the Agree
ment Places Affairs In a
Pretty Tangle.

ORTTOWNSEND, WASH, May15.-The
United States Government realizes that it
will be difficult undertaking to intercept
the revenue cutters now cruising in the
North Pacific before they have an oppor-
tunity of Selling Canadian sealing vessels
which they may find within the prohibited
waters, violating the Bering Sea regula-
tions as they presume them to exist, being
ignorant of Great Britain's reputation.
Almost week will elapse before the cutter
Grant receives sufficient repairs for sea
voyage. The whereabouts of the patrol
fleet is unknown, other than that of the
cutter Rush, carrying commander of the
fleet, c. i. Hooper, which is supposed to
be cruising slowly along the coast of
Alaska toward Unalaska.
The Bear and Corwin had general in
structions to take a zigzag cruise west and
northwest of Cape Flattery and report at
Unalaska early in July. The territory to
be covered reaches as far west as $50 de-
grees and south to So north latitude, cover
ing an area of about 10000 square miles,
somewhere in which are the three cutters
which the Government desires to notify
not to seize vessels for violating the sealing
regulations.
That the situation is critical is evidenced
by the receipt of numerous dispatches
from the department by Captain Tozier of
the Grant, who is urged to make all pos
sible haste to start out in quest of the feet.
1t is believed that the Government will dis
patch vessel at once from Mare Island
on a similar mission.
A well authenticated report comes from
Victoria to-day that a prominent naval
officer OF the British warship Pheasant
now supposed to be cruising west along
the Alaskan coast, had previous to his de-
parture made the statement that Great
Britain had SO modified her orders this
year as TO practically abrogate the restric-
tive regulations. This statement was made
about April %, when the relations between
the two Governments were somewhat
strained over the Nicaragua incident.
1t is said that British naval officers at
EsQuimalt two weeks ago had received Off
cial intimation that their Government in
tended repudiating the agreement of Jointly
patrolling the sea, and delayed making
the announcement public pending the
Nicaraguan trouble, thereby permitting
the United States Government to send her
fleet OF vessels north. Under the present
aspect of affairs, if the American cutters
should seize any Canadian vessels for using
firearms in sealing serious complications
might arise between the two nations
Officers in communication with the de-
partment admit the situation to be criti-
cal and are bending every effort to get the
Grant ready for sea by next Monday.

ANOTHER DECISION MADE
No End to the Controversy
With the Union Pacific
Road.
JUDGE GILBERT rs UPHELD.
Therefore the Property I'm Dispute
VIII Be Controlled by the
Present Official.

ST. PAUL, MINI, May 15.-Judge SAM
born of the United States Circuit Court
handed down his decision in the receiver
ship controversy of the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line Railway. 1t is practi-
cally victory for the petitioners for the
appointment of separate receiver for the
Short Line.
If the conditions are met it is conceded
that the receiver will be John NJ. Egan,
who has already been appointed by Judge
Gilbert at Portland, Oregon.
The matter came up ten days ago, the
American Loan and Trust Company of
Boston, holders of the second mortgage Of
10,S73, 900, moving for a separate receiver
ship. .
The Union Pacific receivers opposd the
motion. The action proposed here is the
same as has already been taken in Judge
Gilbert's court as applied to property ia
his circuit
Under Judge Sanborn's order, the rec
ceivers are directed to prepare a statement
of moneys in their hands applicable I'd
paying interest on the first mortgage of the
Oregon Short Line.
The order further provides for a hearinA
at which will be determined the amoup1
which will be necessary to pay into tho
court to satisfy the interest of the first
mortgage, and in case such amount is paidS
to arrange as to the form of the transfer
of the property to the receiver appointe6
under this last bill of the second mortgage.
The petitioners had agreed to pay this
interest in case separate receivership be-
granted, so that the separate receivership
seems assured. AS John NJ. Egan has
been so appointed for part of the road by
Judge Gilbert, and as his appointment is
desired by the petitioners, he seems as
sured as the receiver for the entire Ore gon
Short Line

COURT OF LAND CLAIMS.

Some Noted Cases to Be Considered IL.

II SANTA FE, N: NJ, May 15.-The United
States Court of Private Land Claims has
convened here for a sixty days trial.
=: Chief Justice J..:R. Read of Iowa pre-
sides and a full bench is present. A very
large docket has been arranged, and among
the. cases is the famous Peralta grant, in
Arizona and Southwest New Mexico, which
will come to trial in June. This claim has
been hanging over the best part of Ari-
iona for thirty-five years. 1t has delayed
settlement and DEVELOPMENT because OF
clouded title. United States Attorney NJ.
c. Reynolds says he is prepared not only
to defeat the right of the present claimants
to the alleged grant, but to go even further
aud challenge the existence of such a grant
to the alleged Baron Peralta.
In other words, the Gov ernma ant inves-
tigation just concluded by Mr.. Reynolds
discloses that the claim to the property
valued at $50, OOO,0 900 and growing in value
rapidly rests UPON nothing but stupen-
dous foundation of fraud. Mr.. Reynolds
believes that the Government will be able
to do more than this, as he has collected
the evidence which will show the parties
responsible for the manufacture of the
bogus title and of the false testimony and
records

Rights.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 15.-Susan B.
Anthony, Rev. Anna Shaw, Mrs. STAINS
bury and Mrs. Bradford, the noted woman
suffragists who have been in Salt Lake for
some days in attendance upon the confer
ence of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association, left this afternoon for Ogden,
where an elaborate banquet was spread by
the ladies of that city in honor of the Wis
itors, and a suffrage meeting was held in
the City Hall, the speakers being Miss An

inent in the movement in Weber County.
Mrs. Emily S. Richards, DR.. Ellen Fer

Miss Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw, who
are scheduled to leave on the midnight
train for San Francisco.
In conversation this afternoon with the
correspondent of the CALL, Mrs. E. B.
Wells, president of the Utah Suffrage As
ISOLATION, said that the conference was
decided upon at the late general conference
held in Atlanta, and it was decided that
as Utah has been 80 prominent in the
National organization it would be most
appropriate to have the leaders visit the
Territory, but when this decision was
arrived at it was not known that so soon
would the question be brought to public
notice, as was evidenced by the late fight
in the constitutional convention. but in
the light of the victory won by the up
holders of equal rights in this convention
and the insertion of the desired article in
the constitution the conference just closed
was of the utmost Importance to the
women of the Territory, as it had made
many converts, and the interests of the
Territorial Association were brought di-
rectly to the notice of the leaders in the
National organization.
Miss Anthony expressed the greatest
appreciation of the magnificent reception
rendered to herself and her colleagues
during their stay in Salt Lake.

Ercit enent Caused By the Foreclosure
on the Good Hope Property.
HAVERHILL, MASS, May 15.-The re-
port of the foreclosure of $1O0, 900 mort
gage on the Good Hope gold mine at
Riverside, Cal, has created considerable
excitement in this city. Dudley Porter,
president of the Merrimac National Bank
of this city, shareholder Of the mine, said
to-day:
The Good Hope mine was bought by a
party of local gentlemen about year sgo
for $4,000. G. w. Morse, at the time trus-
tee of the Charleston estate here, was in
strumental in foisting the mine upon Us by
false representations as to its value We
soon discovered that the mine had been
"salted" and was worth nothing like the
price paid. Several of the stockholders
lost every cent put into it. The original
owner Of the mine, New York man
named Sigalfus, has foreclosed the 800, zoo
mortgage, but the stockholders will fight
the foreclose, alleging that the mine was
worth much less than they paid for it. The
mine is now paying expenses.

Gotd Being flushed Into the Gorer1'ae mt
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 1e.-The
World this morning says: Another
chapter was added to the big syndicate
history yesterday. +
A notice was sent TO the bond banks IN
terested in: the gold deal, requesting the
deposit by the banks of large quantity
OF gold in the ,sub-treasury there. The e1-
PLANTATION of this last move lets bit OF
light on the bargain which the syndicate
made with the Government.
Most of the banks cooperating with the
bond syndicate were members of original
pools which subscribed for the last bond
issue at about 1O4
II is estimated that the banks will now
deposit about $13, 900 600 additional gold in
the Sub-treasury, raising the reserve to
about Sill ,oO0,O O0
In addition to this call the syndicate is
rushing forward foreign gold to complete
that end of the contract. Some APP
prehensiye operators see in this
activity of payment probability that
the syndicate will complete its con-
tract with the Government so soon that
there will be time for another "scare" and
the need of another bond issue before fall,
when the heavy exports of grain usually
bring natural flow of gold from Europe
to this country.

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS.
There Is Considerable Objection to the
Proposed Ama L1an.atiOn.

OMAHA, NEBR., May 15.-In convention
to-day, the Catholic Knights of America
considered the proposition of inviting all
other Catholic bodies of similar character
to consolidate with it. No definite action
was taken, but the indications are that
something of the kind will be done. There
is much objection to that feature, how
ever.
Chairman O'Connor, in behalf OF the
committee, reported adversely on the pro-
posed amalgamation, receiving encourage
ment III the way of applause from the anti.
federation portion of the convention.
The majority of the law committee has
adopted a conservative policy and favors as
few changes as possible. They were adj
verse to changes narrowing eligibility to
the State citizenship and to preventing any
State with less than 200 members from
having a supreme delegate, unless it paid
his mileage itself.
