The dispatch further stated that the
suit arose from the Government pro-
claiming Witfontain to be open for gold
mining on certain date, whereupon Mr..
Brown staked out large blocks of claims.
But in the meantime the Government
withdrew the proclamation, and after
wards proclaimed Witfontain under the
lottery law.
This, in brief, is the explanation of one
of the most remarkable mining enter
mated in modern times, and it even
eclipses the famous operations of the
notorious Barney Barnato, in that it has
been successfully carried out under the
sanction of the law, the decision of the
highest court in the Transvaal proclaim
ing to the world it's legitimacy.
Mr.. Brown has been in the country for
several weeks making examinations of
properties in California and Colorado,
consequently had no opportunity to
communicate with any of his branch Of
fees to confirm the telegram. He is on
his way to London, where his principal
offices are. He has been in South Africa
four years, and for twelve years was en-
gagged in the Occur d'Alene region. He
made an examination of Cripple Creek
five months ago, and considers it a
great camp. Mr. Brown firmly believes
that the West is destined to enjoy
great future in regard to mining.

FISHERS CREDITORS.
They VIII Take Steps to Have the
Real Estate Agent Indicted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-This
morning the creditors of real estate
agent Will z. Fisher held a meeting, the
claims against him which were reported
amounting to S37 200. This sum, accord
ing to the statement of Fishers book
keeper, exactly represented the total of
debts of his real estate firm. To his
wife, Mrs. Jennings Fisher, 49, 900 is
due. The assets, 1T was stated, consist
ed of the office furniture, including safe,
block books etc, from which it is poSsi-
BILE $4,000 might be realized.
There was bitter feeling among
those present, the fact of Fishers dis
appearance being commented ON very
adversely. Nothing definite was done
at the meeting, but it was made fully
evident that steps would be taken to
have the case of the missing man SUBJ
mitted to the Grand Jury, in the hope of
having him indicted for approprfating to
his own use money which he had collect
ed for clients. Fisher has been missing
since Monday last, and his Whereabouts
is unknown.

STORM ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
Vessels Unable to Reach Their Desti.
nation on Account of the Gale.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The steamer
City of Duluth, which left Milwaukee at
1880 this morning heavily laden with
merchandise for Benton Harbor, came
into the harbor here about 9 O'Clock to-
night. The boat was sighted shortly
before 3 o'clock, when the storm which
has been raging for twenty-four hours
was at dts hight, by the keeper of the
Four Mile Crib, who thought he dis
tinguished distress signals from the
crew. The city fire alarm department
was notified, and a tug was sent out to
render assistance. Thevessel, however,
made its own way in.
Captain McClain of the Duluth said
that the voyage between Milwaukee and
Chicago had been extremely stormy.
Every effort to reach Benton Harbor
with the cargo was made, but the storm
was too severe, and the boat went before
the wind. Finally they put about to
wards chicago, and sighted the city
lights about 1870 o'clock. The boat was
uninjured by its struggle with the
waves.
AT the time the City of Duluth drew
into the harbor a heavy gale was lash
ing the lake and the snow was blind
ing.
Less than an hour before the City of
Duluth was sighted the Goodrich liner

rying a number of passengers, left here

SIMPSON TABERNACLE.
A Los Angeles Church Edifice About
to be Sold at Auction.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.-The great
Simpson Tabernacle (Methodist Episco-
paD, one Of the finest church edifices on
the Pacific Coast, with Rev. c. c. Nc
Lean, THE Los Angeles Parkhurst," as
pastor, is about to pass under the ham,
mer and be sold to satisfy a mortgage OF
S26,OO0 held in Philadelphia This
splendid building is a product of the
boom days in this city. 1t has been more
or less embarrassed since the collapse
Of the boom. It was built at cost OF
$4,000, obtained largely through sub
scriptions by local gentlemen who were
supposed to be making fortunes ten
years ago. When the slump came many
found themselves unable to meet their
subscriptions, and then arose the neces-
sity Of borrowing $4,000. Simpson
Tabernacle is said to be the largest
Methodist auditorium in the world, and
the largest church edifice of any denom-
ination on the Pacific Coast.
The amount that must be raised is
$4,000 with which to pay interest and
assessments on the floating indebted
ness. The trustees propose to raise the
sum at once, if possible, by popular sub
Scription.

played thereon, was pinned to his coat.
Many of the members were attended by
their wives, while many younger per-
sons looked on and heard the talk of
hardShips and adventure.

EX-GOVERNOR ALHGELD.
GIVEN A RECEPTION BY HIS
DEMOCRATIC FOLLOWERS.
Also the Recipient of a Costly Testi-
moniai in the Shape of
Table Silver.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Twelve hundred
friends of Ex-Governor John P. Altgeld
came through the snowstorm to the
fremont House tonight to show their
esteem. The reception rendered the
Democratic State leader took the form
Of a costly testimonial. Mr. Altgeld
was the recipient Of three distinct tes-
timonials during the day and night In
the afternoon the German-American
citizens as a community were repre-
sented at the house of the former Gov
ernor, where they presented him with an
address, a. mahogany Office desk and a
chair, a silver ink stand and gold pen
and holder.
At the evening reception Carter H.
Harrison, President Of the Bryan
League, who presided in the banquet
hall, presented Mr.. Altgeld on behalf Of
his friends an antique oak chest con-
tanning 200 pieces of table silver A
silver tea and coffee service Of five
pieces were also presented, the total
value of the gift being $500. The
German Democracy of the city at the
same time presented testimonial in
scribed on parchment and inclosed in a
morocco case. Many Populists were
present, the Silver party and Legisla-
ture also being well represented
In making his response Of thanks
Mr.. Altgeld expressed his appreciation
of the honor paid him by the Democratic
members OF the General Assembly in
voting for him for Senator when the
party owed him nothing.
Speaking of the late election, he said:
Facts have developed since the cleo
ton which show an alarming condition.
The facts consist of unanswerable evil
dence of fraud carried on in a wholesale
manner and practiced in every way that
ingenuity of man could devise The de-
velopments of the last two months show
clearly that the people were defeated by
a count of votes that Were not legally
cast In each of the 15States which Mark
Hanna started out to carry there have
been many more votes counted than
there were male inhabitants over p
years of age. In Ohio there are nearly
200, 900 more votes counted in 1896 than
there We're in 1892, which would indi-
cate an increase of population in that
State during four years of nearly 1,000,-
600 people, where in reality there has
not been an increase of half a million
in that time. In other words, it is clear
that in Ohio over "a, 900 fraudulent votes
were counted, and as the returns show
that Mr.. Mckinley had only majority
of 40, 900 in that State, it is certain that
Mr.. Bryan carried Ohio by over 10000.
A similar consideration of affairs in
fourteen other States. In all of the re-
mainder of the States function vote Is
normal increase The figures indicate
that in Illinois there We're over 100000
fraudulent votes counted. 1t is certain
that Mckinley did not carry Ohio or
Indiana, or Kentucky, or California, and
it is doubtful IL he carried a number of
other States that are credited to him.
We do not propose to make any disturb
ance about the matter. We are simply
calling attention to the faots."

Claim That 1t is for the Benefit of Ex-
press Companies and Against
the Peoples Interests.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Senate
Committee ON PoStoffices and Post
Roads resumed it's hearing on the Loud
second-class mail bill to-day.
Orville j. Victor, Chairman of the
New York Committee of Publishers,
said the bill was in the interest of the
interest of the public, which demands
good and cheap literature.
Mr.. Victor called attention to the
large amount of Government matter
carried free which would, he said, go
far toward accounting for the Postoffice
Department. deficit, and created a. gen.
eral laugh at the expense of the COM
nlittee by reading a newspaper extract
characterizing most of this matter as
Congressional buncombe."
John Elderkin of the New York Led
GER claimed that under the proposed
law such papers as the Ledger will
be excluded from the privilege of being
entered as second class mail matter
S. 8. Mcclure addressed himself es-
pecially to Senator Chambers proposed

their own system of distribution and
thus both increase the cost as well as
decrease the circulation of their publ
cations. Any addition to the cost would
render it impossible to publish ten-cent
magazines. To advance the price of
magazines to Is cents would be to cut
the circulation in half.
j. S. Ogilvie denied the assertion
made ait the meeting last Saturday that
some of his publications We're indecent
He asserted that the Government was
under an implied contract to the pub
fishers to maintain present rates.
Yates Hickey of the American Rail-
way Literary Association favored the
bill.
David Williams, proprietor of the

written argument in favor of the bill.
