A FAILURE
Very Bad, But Not So Big as the
Barings'

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The Even
Ing Post says that private advices have
been received here 20 the effect that En-
rico Mathew, the well-known banker and
promoter of several gigantic schemes
in Central America, has failed for over
$s3. 900. His principal creditors are
said to be Europeans, but a San Fran
cisco firm is said to be a sufferer to the
extent of $180,000 While Matheus
assets are estimated at $50, 500, 900, they
consist for the most part of property in
the vicinity Of Guatemala, which cannot
be disposed Of for half their assessed
value. The cause assigned for the failure
is the heavy depression in silver and the
collapse OF the real estate boom inaugu-
rated by President Barrios several years
ago.

LONE TOUGH Of NATURE
Uncle Sans Relief Fund Feeds Thou
sands of Cubans. ~

New York, Nov. ga special to
the Herald from Havana says: In every
town in Cuba where there are American
citizens, groups of starving islanders
gather every day in front of the houses
OF those Americans and beg for the
crumbs that fall from the tables.
That Americans have anything on
their tables from which crumbs could
fall is due to the relief fund of $50, 900
appropriated last spring by congress.
Consul-General Lee has drawn SO far
about $25, 900 of the total amount and
has distributed it to the consuls in
,Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Sagua, Santiago
and elsewhere. These consuls buy
provisions and distribute weekly rations
to distressed Americans.
There are l,400 Americans on the re-
lief fund list. OF these about $50 are
American-born. The others are natur
allied citizens and their families, who,
having their citizenship papers properly
registered at the different United States
consulates, are entitled, if in distress,
to h same relief as American born
citizens. ~
According to a statement made by
Consul Baker, who is stationed at
Sagua, about 10, 900 people are being
Kept alive in Cuba by these ratiOns

M'KENNA WILL SUCCEED FIELD.


Chicago, Nov. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: At
torney-G General McKenna's appoint
ment as associate justice of the supreme
court to succeed Justice Field, has been
formally decided upon by the presiden.
and heartily approved by the cabinet.
The succession to the department OF
justice is still open. The presidents
private files contains letters from all
over the country suggesting names,
including those Of many men who have
hitherto not been mentioned publicly.
Judge Waymire, of California, appears
to be in the lead thus far. A number
of letters from New York suggested
John II. McCooE. 1t is stated that
were it not for geographical considera-
tons, John S. Runnells, OF Chicago,
would have been favorably considered.
1t was deemed impossible. however, to
have two cabinet officers from Illinois.
This same attention to political survey
ing has prevented the active eonsidera-
ton OF Judge Nathan Golf, of West
Virginia, who is too near Maryland to
receive consideration. 1t is believed
the president will not see his way clear
to leaving the Pacific slope out OF the
cabinet, and in that event Judge Way
mire is likely to be the man.
The state department has officially
notified Charles Page Bryan of his APP
pointment as minister to China, and
he is expected to come on Immediately
and qualify. Foreign ministers file nc
bonds, and hence a recess appointment
is ample. They receive no commissions
and formal instructions on being con-
irmed by the senate, and not being
bonded, are not forced to wait for con
frmation. 80.

GREAT LONDON FIRE.
Fifteen Million Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed.

London, Nov. 22.-One of the most
disastrous fires in London's history
since the great fire of 1866, broke out
in a large block of buildings lying east
of Aldergate street and between that
thorouehfare and Red Cross street, just
after l O'Clock this afternoon. The
flames were famed by a strong wind
and fed by highly infammable stocks
OF Christmas fancy goods and fimsy
dress materials of every description,
that filled every floor of the six-story
building in the old street. Conse-
quently, the conflagration gained head
way with surprising rapidity, and was
soon far beyond the possibility OF being
checked on the spot.
For four hours and q half the flames
had their own way, and it was only
after more than 100 engines had
worked an hour that the chief OF, the
fire brigade sent out the signal that the
fire was under control.
At IL O'Clock tonight the fire is still
the scene OF great excitement. Fifty

wagons are hurrying up, and tons of
water are pouring into the fiery debris.
Thousands of people are trying to pene-
.trate the Gordon maintained by 1000
policemen, reinforcements for whom
were sent up when at 8 o'clock an in
crease in the outbreak led Commander
Wells to make a requisition for more
engines upon the outlying stations.
The scene must occupy the fire brig
ade for several days, especially in view
of the grave danger of the COLLAPSE of
the shells of buildings, which fall now
and then with a loud crash.
The latest advices indicate that
nearly 100 warehouses have been de-
stroyed, while the loss will probably
exceed e3, 900, 900.
The historic church of st. Giles has
been much damaged. the principal
damage being to the roof, the old win
dows, the baptismal font and Millions

~LYNCHERS.


at lnelf TRIAL. o
City of Mexico, Nov. GA pro-
found sensation was caused today in
the course OF the trial OF the police
officials charged with the murder of
Arroyo by the production OF the confess
sion of the late inspettor-general OF pc.
lice, Velasquez. 1t is a most remark
able attempt at self-justiication, and
states that a mob of common people
lynched Arroyo. V~elasquez said that
NO direct orders for Arroyo's killing
were gwen, but that the populace, al
ready strongly wrought up by the as.
sault upon the president, were urged
by suggestions to commit the deed.
Said he:
81 thought l was doing right in or.
ganizlng a popular manifestation to
avenge an attack on the president, and
give birth in the people to a profound
conviction that punishment for such an
act would come swiftly in the form OF
lynching, or whatever it may be
styled"
He went on to show that others be-
sides himself thought summary VEN
geance should be dealt TO Arroyo.
This confession, in the light of the evil
dence, is seen to be full of misstate-
ments, and in no case would it have
prevented Yelasquez' prosecution, for
the government was determined to
punish the crime. The prosecuting at
torney today in a strong argument
pleaded for the execution Of a death
sentence on all the prisoners except
Assistant Chief of Detectives Cabrera
and n minor prisoner, who were not
directly implicated in the tragedy.

TO RECOVER VALUE OF A"TlP,
Novel Suit That Has Been Filed Against
Wall-Street Broker. -


New York, Nov. 22.-The Journal
and Advertiser says j. r. McMurray,
formerly of st. Paul, has filed a suit
for $1,000 damages ags inst Edwin Bar
bour, formerly of Virginia, and now a
Wall street broker.
1t is alleged that McMurray arranged
with Barbour that in return for adj
vance information of the supreme
courts decision in the Bell telephone
case last May, Barbour should buy or
sell 1000 shares OF Bell telephone
stock, and in the event of a profit, give
McMurray two-thirds and retain one
third for himself.
McMurray alleged that on Nav 8,
1897, he gave Barbour the information,
which he says he obtained from one of
the clerks OF the supreme court. On
May 10 the decision was handed down
and Bell telephone stock vent up.
Barbour, McMurray alleges, refused to
pay for the tip" saving he did not
use it. Hence the suit. James r.
keene, McMurray alleges, got the same
Tip and paid him $40, 600 for it.
