In speaking Of Senator Teller's speech
IN Withdrawing from the republican
convention at st. Louis, correspon-
dent says: "He was evidently deeply
aroused by the emotions that stirred
him, and his gestures at times were
almost fierce. But his general tone
was CHE of sadness and regret. He was
given a most respectful hearing by the
delegates, bit except for those
sympthizing, there was no demonstra-
ton on the floor in the early part Of
his address. The galleries. however,
were ut times vociferous, and when he
asserted the power of the United States
to Control their own affairs without
dictation from Europe in the matter Of
finance or anything else; many Of the
delegates, where dra. n into the display
of enthusiasm by the wild tumult about
them, but the Colrado senator madelno
effort at dramatic effect. He spoke in
clear, ringing tones, which have SO
often resounded through the halls of the
United States senate. It was not until
toward the close OF his speech that he
became both impressive and pathe tic.
His review Of his long service in the
party visiblv affected him. As he
realized the step he was about to take.
he drew hl.nself together for final
appeal and declared, with an
earnestness that impressed those VINO
heard HIN, that in his opinion the
inorality. the religion aud the salvation
at the s.nuntrv were at stake.

Mckinley got the republican nomina-
ton for president at st; Louis, and the
convention adopted an out-and.out gold
plank in its platform. Then Senator
Teller with ITO other free silver dele
gates withdrew from the convention
and erlphatically declared that they
could not work with the republican par
ty in this campaign: The Wall Street
hir}ings and lackies Of both parties are
working hard for their gold-lined mas
ters, but the great army of ]aborers - the
bone and s;new Of this republic-the
people of the conntry, may have some-
thing to say as to what our future dnan-
cial policy is to be.

POTRERO IMPROVEMENTS
Work to Be Recommended on
the Kentucky.Street
Hill.
The Paving of Tennessee Street Witt
Bitumen Is One of the Things
Contemplated.

The work of cutting down the big hill on
Kentucky street, between Nineteenth and
Twenty second. will be commenced within
a short time. This work was suspended
during the heavy storms about Christmas
time on account of the rains softening the
earth and causing the banks to cave, max
ing it impossible to continue the work at
that time. But scene of activity will
again soon be presented, and when the
work is recommended it will continue
without cessation until the blocks and
streets to the eastward have been filled to
the official grade.
1t is estimated that force Of twenty
five men will. be kept busy until August or
Septem ber of the present year to finish
the work already under way, and if fur
ther work is started it will take even
longer. The grading of these streets and
blocks will undoubtedly prove of great
benefit to the entire district, and once the
big bill on Kentucky street is entirely re-
moved this part of the Potrero will be one
of the most available and choicest resi-
dence portions of the whole district, being
near the Kentucky-street car line and hav-
ing very easy and gentle grades.
As an instance of how this property is
looked upon by home builders it may be
stated that last summer the lots immedi-
ately adjoining the Potrero schoolhouse on
the north and south, eighteen lots in all,
were graded and offered for sale, and with
in very few weeks thereafter eleven of
the eighteen had been sold at the full
prices asked by the owners of the property.
On four of these lots have been erected
two-story flats of good substantial char
acter and most OF the other purchasers
contemplate erecting either flats or cot
tages during the year.
The paving with basalt blocks OF Twenty
second street, between Kentucky and Ten
nessee. and the laying of granite curbs
thereon will be finished in q few days.
The paving with bitumen OF the crossing
of Twenty-second and Tennessee has just
been finished. The next improvement
contemplated in this district is the paving
OF Tennessee street with bitumen from

A TUG OWNER CENSURED,
Captain Grey Of the Ship.Own.
ers' and Merchants Com
pany to Blame.
The Squabble Over the Fault.Finding
Settled by the Harbor Com.
misSioners.

The Harbor Commissioners came to q
decision in regard to the dispute over the
docking of the Roanoke yesterday. The
Ship-owners' and Merchants Towboat
Company was found to be in fault and on
the motion of Mr.. Chadbourne it was cen.
sured. Superintendent Grey was also
ordered to refund $25, the amount it cost
the commission to successfully dock the
ship.
When the matter came up for discussion
Captain Tupman of the British ship Sea.
farer was the first one heard. 1t was his
vessel that had moved just at the time the
Roanoke was docking, and by getting in
the way had caused all the trouble. He said
he received imperative orders from Chief
Wharfinger Root to move at 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon, and as he was doing SC
some one whom he did not know told hin,
to h old on, as ne might interfere with the
docking of the Roanoke.
He did not know that the manw as a
representative of the State, but admitted
that he wore uniform. In answer to q
question put by President Colnon, Captain
Tupman said he was not sure about the
message given. His vessel was almst un.
der way at the time and he could not hear
but his impression was that the words he
heard were, 'tYou had better not move as
there may be damage done.' The Roam.

CHANCE FOR STERNBERG
The Supreme Court Will Hear Again
the Judgment Already Con-
firmed.

Louis Sternberg has beens granted re-
hearing by the Supreme Court in the case
in which the action of the Superior Court
was affirmed, and in that case in which
the judgment was reversed the rem ittitur
has been sent down to the County Clerk.
The cases of false registration upon
which Sternberg was tried were for the
registering of Samuel Newman and A.
Gutman.
In one case the judgment denying a
motion for new trial was reversed be.
cause Judge Wallace had not instructed
the jury as to what was corroborative evil
dence and also because he did not tell
them that they should look with suspl-
cion on the testimony of an accomplice.
In the other case Judge Wallace charged
that a certain witness was an accomplice,
which was charge as to matter of fact,
but it was passed by the Supreme Court
because its effect was to greatly strengthen
the case for the defense. In spite of this,
however, it was one of the points in pc
tition for rehearing, and the granting of
the petition shows that it was deemed OF
some Importance by the court. The re-
hearing was granted by Justices Beatty,
Garoutte, Mcfarland and Van Fleet.

CUSTOM HOUSE SCANDAL,
The Fight Between the Collector
and Special Agent Con-
tinueS.
1t Will Be Resumed Before Collector
Wise To.Day-Landing of Chi
neSe Girls.

The Custom-house scandal grows apace.
1t promises some lively developments
within the next few days, as it is known
that Special Agent Moore has preferred
some serious charges against Federal Off
GERS of high standing. Moore must either
substantiate these charges or stand con-
victed of gross Misrepresentation. There
is reason to believe that he has very
strong case against the accused inspectors.
Anyway, the Information is now in the
possession of the Treasury Department at
Washington.
1t is learned on good authority that of
the sixteen Chinese girls imported within
the last three months for immoral pur-
poses, and who were allowed to land on
the payment of 5000 to certain Custom
house inspectors, eleven were secured by
Lee Hoy and Lee Gee and five went to
Tom Sue.
Tom Sue is said to be the leader of the
gang. His excheauer has grown consid-
erably since he cultivated the acquaintance
of the customs officials ana familiarized
himself with the art OF raising Chinese cer-
tiicates.
The inquiry into the charges against
Customs Interpreter Williams will be con-
| .
Williams is making q determined stand
against the accusations of Special Agent
Moore, and will summon a. number of
Cinnamon to impeach the testimony of
Wong Sam, the chief witness against the
accused interpreter. Williams enjoys the
confidence of Collector Wise, who is 10th
to believe any of his subordinates guilty
of wrongdoing until uncontrovertible evI-
dence of their guilt is supplied.
The customs authorities emphatically
deny the story that Chinese girls have
been unlawfully landed here lately, and
thus the light between this department
and the office of the special agent goes
merrily on.
| In addition to the Chinese that have
been landed from steamers at this port.
quite large number of women and men
have come into the district from the At
lanta exposition. There were 205 of them
at Atlanta. They were brought TO the
country by Kee Vow Yang under q resolu.
tion of Congress allowing them to remain
in the country one year, on the ground of
their being professional actors who de-
sired to exhibit at the different expositions
in this country. These people are now
scattered throughout the country, q nd
many are now living in this State.

lished in China, and the few already estab-
lished were represented by British sub
iects who reside there. He said yester.
day:
In addition to building up trade with China,
shall travel about the empire and establish
consulates where they may be deemed neceS-
sary., shall also visit Japan and India, and
spend some time in both for the same purpose.
The trade of all the countries of the far East
we regard of much Importance to Peru. We
feel that we produce many things which ought
to find ready market there at a profit to US.
AT the present time there are some fifteen
saiiing-ships plying between China and Peru.
One or two leave China every month. They
come loaded with tea, rice, silks and various
fancy things. We do heavy business with
China, but the Chinese don't do any with US.
All these sailing-ships go back empty from our
shores, only to be loaded again with rice, tea,
silks and other products, for which they get
handsome prices from Peru. So the Peruvian
Government has delegated me to go over as
ConsulGeneral and see about it. We think we
can build up heavy trade all through the
Orient, and are goin to tryit.
Lima, the capital, the city which has for
many years been my home, now has $50, 900
people, and Peru, as whole, fully 3,500,O0
The country is fairly prosperous, but the war
with Chile few years ago set us back consid-
erably. However, we have recently completed
the railroad from Callao to Ozoiya, over the
lofty Andes Noun tains, and since then we are
able to bring out the coffee. Planting of
coffee has also increased till now we export
coffee, even 10 San Francisco. The railroad is
the highest in the world reaching an altitude
in the Andes OF over 10000 feet.
An American engineer. representing syn
dicate of American capitalists, has lately
bought the horsecar line in Lima, and OBJ
tanned with it a franchise to build electric
lines there. He was 10 have reached San
Francisco on the Zealandia. the steamer on
which l came, but ct the last moment he was
obliged to wait over till the next steamer.
Consul-GeneraI Mesa was formerly an
officer in the Peruvian navy. He will sail
for China on Saturday.
