THE wELBURN MATTER.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 19.-The
Federal grand jury has taken up the
Welburn matter. Ignoring the United
States attorney and the special reven-
ue agents, it has decided on the issu-
ance of a subpoena and today will be-
gin an investigation on it's own account.
Among the subpoenas issued for
Welburn himself, the theory apparent
ly being that since he did not commit
the entertainments complained of, as
the trial jury has said, some one else
must have done so and he may be able
to tell the jury who did.
Immediately after the return of the
verdict acquitting Welburn, the latter
told Special Revenue Agent Thrasher
that he could tell him who was the
guilty man. Thrasher declined to dis
cuss the matter with him at that time.

RECEIVER ASKED FOR.

New York, Oct. 19.-Counsel, on be-
half of a number of stockholders in the
American Gregory company, has made
application to Chancellor McGill, Jersey
City, for a receiver for the company.
The bill sets forth that the company
was organized in June, 1894, and made
money for two years. During the
third year Thomas L. Marsallis made
changes in the business methods which
proved detrimental. Orders were not
filled to the satisfaction of customers
and statesmen who influenced much
trade were allowed to leave and take
their trade with them. Several articles
which has proven profitable were drop
ped from the stock. The bill also alleg-
ed that Mr.. Marsallis sought to bring
about a dissolution.

fairly be termed paying property,
Leading business men think by CONSOLE
dating them, managing all from a sim
gle office and supplying all from sim
gle power plant the city could at least
make them pay expenses-even at a
less rate of transportation than now
charged. From the power plant ii
would also be possible for the city to
light the streets and public buildings,
without recourse of private contract
ors.
The town has had satisfactory ex-
perience in the purchase of its water
works from the corporation which or
iginally established them. The system
pays something more than expenses
and supplies consumers at what is be-
lieved a lower rate than that charged
by any other city Of equal size in the
west.

| IMMIGRANT BUSINESS
Agreement Among The
Trans Continental Roads.
THE SOUTHERN AND CANADIAN
PACIFIC JOIN THE
COMBINE.
Miiilemen Will Be No Longer In 1t
And The Steamship COmpan-
les Will Deal With The WeS-
tern Railways Direct.
Other News.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-For the first time
in many years all the trans-continen-
tai railroads have entered into an
agreement covering immigrant bust
ness. The Southern and Canadian
Pacific roads have agreed TO join the
western roads in dealing with the
steamship people direct, The steam
ship companies are to deliver the i'm
migrants to western immigrant clear
ing house, maintained in New York
by Western lines. The commissions
which western lines heretofore have
paid to the middlemen are to go direct
to the steamship companies in consid-
Grafton of which the railroads are
promised control of all the traffic.
Trunk lines will pay their commissions
to the steamship companies and their
clearing house will route the business
to connect with western lines. The
acquiescence in these conditions of the
Southern Pacific and the Canadian Pa
cific was a surprise to western pas
senger men. For years these two
lines have stood aloof from the others
and by reductions of fares and the
payment of big commissions have kept
their competitors in hot water most
of the time.
1t is said the 500 road has promised
the Chicago-St. Paul lines to at once
cake out its rate of 81 from st. Paul
to New York and that hereafter it will
cooperate with the Chicago lines. This
rate was a cut of $1,000 below the au-
thorized tariffs. The st. Paul road
met it via Chicago and other lines were
preparing to do so. Great demorali-
cation from this city seemed imminent
but the restoration of 500 rates will
remove that danger.

Price $500 q Year

each, quarterly dividend of y per
cent. has been declared payable No
vember 10 to stockholders of record at
close of business on October 80, 1897.
There seems to be every reason to
believe that the remaining eight and
a half months will show further ad
ditions to surplus in excess of the
amount necessary to pay the remaining
two per cent. to which the preferred
stock would be entitled for this year.
The present view of the directors is
that, If this anticipation be realized,
such reamining profits should be dis
tributed in the form of extra dividends
of one per cent. at each of six months
period.

CONTABAND TEAS.
Chinese Prefer This Brand and Plead
Ignorance.

Chinese Prefer This Brand and Plead
Ignorance.
New York, Oct. 19.-There has been
submitted for the judicial considera-
ton of the United States general ap-
praisers a question involving the des-
truction of about 10000 pounds of i'm
ported Chinese teas, for which no pro-
vision is made in the tariff law. These
importations were made chiefly for
consumption by Chinese residents OF
this city, but they have been held by
the customs authorities because the
law expressly says that all teas
brought into this country and not pro-
vided for in the tariff schedule shall
be seized and destroyed.
The tea schedule in the new tariff
act embraces thirteen grades, which
constitute all the teas in popular use.
The special brands now in jeopardy are
the Pang Yu Tai and the Yuen Shun,
which are not mentioned in the tariff
act.
The Chinese residents of New York
are much exercised over the exclusion
of their favorite teas and a few days
ago they engaged counsel and appeal
ed to the treasury department. The
Chinese minister called upon Secretary
Gage and the later ordered a special
hearing.
Representatives of the protesting
Cinnamon plead ignorance of the law
regarding the particular importations
under consideration and declare that
the Cinnamon prefer the Yu Tai and
Yuen Shun teas above all others. The
value of the 10000 pounds of tea is
about $4,000.

MACEO'S HEROES.
In New York To Be Treated For Ser
ious Wounds.

New York, Oct. 19-Cols. Baldomero,
Acosta and Andres Hernandez and
Lieut.. Alberto Guzman, of the Cuban
army. have arrived here from Havana.
They came to this country for surgical
treatment.
Col. Acosta has four troublesome
wounds which compelled him to absent
himself from the field pending treat
ment. Col. Hernandez was pierced
through the lung, abdomen and legs
by mauser bullets. Both men were
/. with Gen. Maceo when he was killed.
Only a short time ago they led raid
against the city of Mariana, six miles
from Havana. First Lieut.. Guzman,
who acted as Col. Acosta's aid during
the past four months, is only fourteen
years old. He accompanied Gen. Mac
go in his famous march from Matanzaz
TO Mantua, Pinar Del Rio province, and
was wounded twice while charging by
the side of Col. Acosta, when the lat
ter drove away from the field the Span
ish guerillas who were attempting to
carry away the dead body of Gen.
Maceo.

CITY TO OWN STREET CAR LINES
Municipal Control of Lines in Sioux
City.

Sioux City, Ia, Oct. 19.-Steps will
be taken soon looking toward munich
pal control of the local street car lines.
There are five different systems-the
Sioux City Traction, Central Traction,
Morningside Eelevated, Leeds Electric
and Riverside Park companies. Their
officers recently applied for extensions
OF franchises varying from twenty-five
to seventy years. Citizens objected
strenuously and induced the city coun-
ell to refuse the grants. To the dis
cussions held in connection with this
matter is due, in great measure, the
present movement for the purchase and
operation of the lines by the munich
