THE RAILWAY LEASE CASE.
The Special Master Wants to A ppoint the
Time for Taking Testimony-Suit Against
the Treasurer and the Auditor.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., July 2.-Kerr Craige,
special master appointed by Judge ST.
monitor in the North Carolina railway
lease, writes Attorney General Walser
to know at what time it will be
lent for him to take testimony. No
doubt Governor Russell will get a sim
liar letter. Now the question is what
evidence the attorney general and the
governor have which was not developed
before the Legislative committees of in
vestigation. This is a very interesting
question too.
The sheriff this afternoon summoned
the state treasurer and auditor to APP
pear here July 18th before Judge Rob-
inson and show reason, if any, why
they should not pay to certain persons
in Carteret and other counties some
Sc, 900 in settlement Of certain matters
regarding claims for entries of oyster
lands. The legislature passed a bill
providing for this payment but the
treasurer declines to pay it out.

The Miners Strike.

P~ittsburg. July 6.-The strike CIDER of
the national executive board of the Gnttec
Mine Workers. of America was obryed by
from 1900 to i, 900 of the q. 900 miners in
the Pittsburg district today. The great
struggle is now on in earnest and the
development of the next few days will
determine the success or failure of the
fight for a uniform rate. PittSburg is the
pivotal point in the five states engaged in
the contest, and the success of the local
officials in their efforts to secure Il gen.
eral suspension in this district will have
an important bearing on the outcome Of
the movement.
While it is estimated that at least two
thirds of the miners have thrown down
their picks, enough men are still at work,
however. to seriously impair the chances.
unless they can ultimately be brought
out. This, President Dolan confidently
claims can be done. The operators. on
the other hand, are in 10 wise disconcert-
ed, and assert that the strike can sue
coed. The first break in the operators
ranks was made this afternoon by j. w.
Steen, of the O. |. G. mines, at RoSSVille.
The diggerS refused to work and the mine
was closed down, but a notice was posted
that after today the SO cent rate would be
paid. 1t is not likely that the officials
will alloy the men to work until Il ma
jOrity of the operators have agreed to the
miners demands.

THE BEET SUGAR BOUNTY.
Republicans at Sea on the Subject-TO
Hold Another Caucus to Decide the Mat.
ter Today.

Washington, July "a caucus of repub-
tomorrow to consider the advisability of
reintroducing the beet sugar bounty
amendment. The decision to call the eau
Gus was the result of a series of confer
ences which consumed the greater part
of the day. but which developed such a di-
VerSence of views as to make it quite evil
dent that only in a party conference could
the bounty question be settled in a way
to bind all. At one time during the day
1t appeared that the finance committee
would reintroduce the beet sugar amend
ment, in response to the representations
of the advocates of a bounty. The SEN
ators holding the view that this was the
proper course to pursue based their argu-
ments upon the ground that the last re-
publican senatorial caucus had decided in
favor of such a bounty. This brought out
the fact that there had been comparative
ly few senators at the caucus when the
sentees would not agree to be bound by
its decision. The committee decided, on
account of this conflict, to resubmit the
matter to a caucus.
1t appears probable tonight that the
caucus will rescind the order of the pre-
vious session directing the committee to
report a sugar amendment. but the sugar
bOuntN advocates hope that at the same
time the republican senator's will be in
Structed to vote for the amendment as
offered by Senator Allen. They thus hope
to put the party in the senate on record
as for the amendment while they avoid
the responsibility for the delay which they
admit the amendment will occasion. The
democratic leaders still announce them
selves unalterably opposed to the bounty
provision, and say they will debate it for
an indefinite length of time in order to
prevent its Incorporation into the bill.

MORE ARRESTS MADE
IL Connection With the Counterf-iting of
Notes of the Costa Rican Government.


New York, July 6.-The United States
secret service agents here made four
arrests today in connection with the
counterfeiting Of about $500, 600 worth
of Cocta Rican bank notes. The pris-
oners are Louis Hausman, Mrs. Betsy
Crevin, Frederick Mora and Herman
Dohn. When the accused were brought
before Commissioner Lyman, no state
ment was made regarding the addi-
tional developments in the case by the
government detectives. The alleged
counterfeiters We're simply held in
S3,o00 DaIl each for examination on
Thursday. 1t is understood, however.
that the arrests We're made at the re-
quest of the COcta Rican authirities in
Washington.
Hausman is the foreman of the
Spanish American Printing Company,
at No. 126 Maiden Lane, this city.
Ricardo de Requesens is the president
of the concern. The latter with Mrs.
Reineman was arrested some time ago
as the principal in the cOunterfeiting
scheme, whose object, is is said, was
to help on a revolutionary movement
in Costa Rica. Hausman was taken
into custody in the printing office.
Mrs. Chevin is the mother-in-law of
De Requesens. She was arrested at her
home in Long Island City. She is a re-
spectacle and a matronly looking
person and no one wOu ever uspec
her of completely in a revolutionary
plot.
DOhn, who is a photographer, is be-
lieved to have printed the counterfeits
at his place of business.
What Mora had to do with the case
has not yet developed.

YELLOW FEVER ABOARD.
Passengers and Crew Die of the Dread
D~isease-Panic on u Passenger Steamer

| New York, July 2.-Passengers who
arrived here tonight on the steamship
Alliance tell a narrowing story of their
| experience aboard the Pacific mai
steamer City of Para, which left Pan
anna for San Francisco on May 23rd
last. 1t seems that two days after
clearing the isthmus, yellow fever
broke out m on the crew and passen-
| gers Of the Pacific liner which caused
a panic on board and resulted in the
death of the commander of the vessel,
Captain Martensen. T~hree-fourths of
the passengers, it is said, We're attack
ed by the disease and at least a dozen
Of them found watery graves.
When the vessel finally reached San
Francisco, the facts of the terrible vOy-
age were suppressed and the ickneSS
and deaths were attributed to tropical
dysentery. But the passengers who
came here tonight say that the symp-
toms were plainly those of yellow fever.
The disease was raging on the isthmus,
but when the passengers went on board
the City of Para they were told by the
officers that they need not have any
fear. There was no effort at fumlga-
ton and when Mrs. Mitchell, the wife
Of an Englishman commanding one of
the vessels of the Gillian line, appear
ed on the City of Para heavily yelled
there was no uneasiness. Three days
out she died. She was buried at sea,

After much pleading a number of
passengers were put ashore at Corinta

to the yellow fever's spread. At a
