There is a lane in the Chicago stock
yards with high board fences on each
side, and no gate for 100 yards. Michael
Shea started down the lane in one di-
rection the other morning, and so Tex
as steers started up in another. Michael
wanted the steers to get out of the
way. The steers didn't care cent
whether Michael got out OF the way
or not Michael recognized the ma
jority was against him, and fattened
himself against the board fence at one
side OF the lane. The steers came on,
and those that saw him veered out of
the way. Those that did not see him
rubbed against him, picked at him with
their horns, flung him to the ground,
and walked over him with their cloven
hoofs.
The men driving the steers came
along, and one of them stumbled over

PRESS THE RUIZ CLAIM.
Minister Woodford Gets Definite
Instructions from State De-
partment.

Washington. D. c., July 1.-THE gov
eminent has directed United States Min
lister Woodford to formally present to the
Spanish government and press the claim
of the family Of the late DIR. Ruiz for in
demnity III the sum of $4,000 on ac-
count of his death in Jail III Cuba.
Mr.. Woodford's instructions. just com
pleted set out the reason for the preSen-
tation of the claim in detail. They show
thai this government, animated solely by
the love OF truth and right and q spirit
of justice, after mature consideration of
the substantial uncontroverted facts in
the case. has reached the conclusion
that, under the treaty of 1895 and the
protocol of 1877 between the United
States and Spain and the law of 1921
made part of the protocol all of the pre-
ceedings against Ruiz after his arrest
and the notice given to the Cuban au>
thorities of his American citizenship
We're Illegal wrongful and arbitrary.
1t is held that these proceedings were
in violation of treaty rights and resulted
in his death, and that therefore they
warrant the demand for indemnity
While the circumstances would justify
demand for much larger sum of
money, yei Mr. Woodford is instructed
to say that in proof of the spirit Of
moderation and absolute justice with
which the United States government is
animated, the government of Spain is
requested to pay the indemnity named

A TON OF SOLID GOLD.
Some Nuggets Brought from Yukon
District Are as Large as
Guinea Egg.

Port Townsend, Wash, July 17.-At
o'clock this morning the steamship from
ST. Michaeis for Seattle passed up the
sound with more than ton of solid gold
on board and sixty-eight passengers. In
the CAPTAINS cabin are three chests and
a large safe filled with the precious mug
gets. The metal is worth nearly $780,
600. and the most of it was taken out
of the ground in less than three months
of last winter, and in size the nuggets
range from the size Of a pea to a guinea
egg If the siXty-eight miners aboard
hardly man has less than $1,000, and
one or two have more than 100000 in
yellow nuggets.
One peculiar feature noticed is that the
big strikes were made by ''tenderfeet,"
while the old and experienced miners are
suffering indescribable hardships in Alas
ka and the Northwest territory, and have
only few thousand dollars to show for
their labor. Fortune seemed to smile on
the inexperienced men who went into the
mining districts late last year. as nearly
all of them were lucky. Instances are
noted where single individuals have taken
out in two and q half months, gold to the
value of over 100000

Ii HAU CHANGES LOTTERY.
Modelled After an American Institution
Which Has Been Suppressed.

New York. July lit is not general
~ known that on the occasion of the
visit of Ii Hung Chang to this country
last year the great Chinese statesman
caused to be made many inquiries con-
corning the operation of the defunct
Louisiana lottery, the totals of its yearly
revenues and prizes and tee circum-
stances under which ii was driven out of
existence by the government and various
states
The object of these inquiries is now
made apparent by the receipt in the Chi
nese colony of a prospectus setting forth
that the famous Weising lottery of China
has been reorganized. and that the gov
eminent has granted 100-year fran
chise for its opera ton to Ii Hau Chang,
ex-viceroy of Canton, and brother of Ii
Hung Chang: Shao Vu-Lieu. former
governor of Formosa. and Lin Hsueh-
Haun, noted Spectator and company
promoter of the empire.
Under the terms of the deal. Ii Hau
Chang and his associates pay to the
Chinese government cash bonus of l.
100000 taes, or about two and two
thirds million of American dollars,
while there is also set aside 100000
taels, or two and one-third million dol
lars. for organization and operating ex-

PROBE RAILWAY ACCOUNTS
Feared that There Has Been Elk
pensiVe PeCulatiOn on the
FitChburg Railroad.

Boston, Mass, July 1.-THE sudden
and somewhat singular death Of Clarence
G. Anthony, auditor OF the Fitchburg
railroad since 1886, at his home in Wal
than. on Thursday morning, has result
ed in giving what may seem to be pre-
mature publicity to series of facts in re-
latiOn to the administration of some of
the departments Of the Fitchburg road
the knowledge of which has thus far been
carefully kept within Il very limited circle
Following the news Of Mr. AnthOnys
death it became known that the directors
have for some months been engaged in
special investigation into the manage
ment of the freight department of the
road and that a corps of expert railroad
accountants has been at work upon the
accounts. The investigation will cover
the entire freight accounts Of the road
since the advent of President Marcy
which was about 1889.
When it is known that such investiga-
ton by experts of the ability and reputa-
ton of those engaged in this work will
cost perhaps 100000, it seems probable
that the directors of the road had strong
grounds for suspicion of very grave and
extended wrong doing before they set in
action such expensive machinery. While
details are yet wanting, it is learned that
the suspicious of the directors tend to-
ward conspiracy of colluson between
several officials to secure from the treas
ury of the road large sums of money, os-
tensibly as rebates paid to large freight
patrons of the road, but the larger pOr-
ton of which sums are suspected to have
been divided among the cOnspiratOrS.

STREET RAILWAY TIED UP.
Saginaw (Mich) Police Place a
Heavy Road Roller Across
the Tracks.

Saginaw, Mich, July 1.-THE city's
street railway system is completely tied
up today as a result of a several months
fight between the city and the Union
Street Railway company, which culminat-
ed recently in decision by the Supreme
court, sustaining the right Of the city TO
take any measures TO compel the railway
company to settle for certain special i'm
provement taxes. Following this, the
common council declared the company
franchise forfeited Action like that of
today was not expected, however, until
next week.
During last night the police placed a
big steam roller across the car tracks
leading to the main lines and are guard
ing the machine against any molesta ton.
The bondholders and stockholders of the
company have vainly tried to agree Oh &
basis of settlement of the trouble, the
bone Of contention being a debt of So
600 which the bondholders were unwill-
ing to assume.
