EXTRADJTION OF HIGHBINDERS
Chinese Government Willing to
Punish These Criminals.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The Chimes

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Chinese
government, through its minister, Mr..
WI Ting Fang, has broached to the au-
thorities here the willingness of China
to negotiate an extradition treaty, ap-
plicable to all criminals, but intended
in particular to reach the highbinders.
This fraternity has spread terror
through the far west. 1t purpOrtS to
be organized for fraternai and in
sUrance purposes, but under this guise,
it is alleged it carries on a. secret
system of crime, marking victims for
slaughter when they incur the enmity
of the organization. There have been
many agitations in the west against
the fraternity, but it is said that the
local officials have been unable to wipe
out the evil.
The Chinese government finally de-
termined to take cOgnizance of the sub
ject, as the agitations in this country
operated quite as much against the law
abiding Chinese and against the
parties to the secret crimes. 1t was
therefore presented to the officials here
that, as the highbinders had proved
such q. difficult case for the local police
authorities iE this country to deal with,
China would assume the burden of de-
lection and punishment if an eXtradi-
ton treaty could be negotiated.
The purpose was to have China as
sumo all the cost of experimenting and
transporting the guilty parties. This
could be done through the machinery
of the Chinese consular service at San
Francisco and other western points,
which, being conducted by native
Chinese, was better able to know the
ramifcations of an organization made
up entirely of Chinese. -BX-Going this,
China felt that she would rid this coun-
try of those responsible for much of the
| i'll feeling toward the Chinese as a
[ class.

OF THE CATTLE KING
PLUNGER GILLETT Is UNDER
ARREST IN MEXICO.
Financier Who Accumulated Mil
lion and Half In Debts viii Be
Tried For Fraud.

Kansas City. Mo. Dec. lit is stated
here today that Grant G. Gillett. the
Kansas cattleman, whose failure last
week revealed the fact that in less than
,Ahrse years he had piled upeetn indebted
ness of more Than 06a. is aE0und
somewhere in the southwest 80
Charles e. Schaeffer, president of the
George Holmes Commission company,
swore out a warrant here today, charging
Gillett with having procured Sl9.500 by
false pretenses. The warrant was placed
in the hands of an officer and the officer
left the city toldght.

company, 1o1ig q, this statement;
'Gillett. iss Under arrest in Mexico. An
officer has gone fST Rim, and we will get
him back we hope, at a very early date.
In other quarters it is stated almost. as
positively that Gillett is not IN Mexico,
but that he is in custody on American
soil. that he has large sun. of money
in his possession, and that his captors are
negotiating with his creditors here to
exact a stated percentage of the money
as their price for turning Gillett and the
funds over to his creditors

A NEW DANGER CONFRONTs SPAIN.

of the Utah Central reeeivership,
Loomis is alleged to have sotten into
the fund of Hon. Thomas Kearns for
$23, 900 more.
Mr.. Kearns formed a strong attach
ment for Loomis, which the latter has
evidently taken advantage of.
When Mr.. Kearns started to build the
terrace at State and. Sixth South he
gave LOOMS a check book with which
to pay his bills, while he was absent
in California. Loomis willingly under
took the task and was supposed to
have paid the bills for labor and ma
terial
Mr.. Kearns also is alleged to have
given Loomis 1000 shares of stock in
the Grand Central mine for safe keep
ing for a purpose of some kind; trust
or its equivalent.
Now comes the story that Loomis not
only worked the check book to a Wig
orous extent, but that he considered
the price of the stock, at 81 per share,
too good thing to miss, so he sold the
same and put the proceeds deep down
into his trousers pocket where no man
could get to it.
The mining stock brought something
like $4,000 and the proceeds of the
check book something like $4,000 more,
making a total of about $4,000
MI. kearnS IS not IN the city and an
effort to get him at the Park for con-
firmation last evening was futile, but
the information herewith given is con-
sidered perfectly reliable. Perhaps
there may be an error in the figures
but it is believed they are not very far
from accurate.
During the time Mr.. Kearns was in
California, Loomis stated to friends in
this city he was paying the bills on the
terrace from his own bank account and
what he could borrow, and professed to
be much embarrassed at the oversight
of his friend in not leaving him sufff-
cient funds with which to meet all OBJ
legations.

Manila, Dec. 1.-The independent party
of Filipinos is not disposed to accept the
result of the deliberations Of the peace
commissioners at Paris, judging from the
tone of the native press. The Indepen-
dencia publishes a particularly bOmbastic
leading article to the effect that the Fill
DinOs will decline to permit their homes
to be bought and sold like merchandise.
1t then repeats that the FiiDinOs are
ready to fight in defense of their rights,
and asserts that the government and peO-
pie are unanimous lii claiming nothing
less than independence.
The paper also claims that the FiipinOS
have fncOntestible claims upon the island
of LuZOn, part of the Visayas islands and
the island of MindanaO by right of con-
Guest. 1t comedies that the Americans
helped the insurgents indirectly in block
ading Manila. but the Independencia
claims that even without help the revO-
lutiOnists must have ultimately won. FL
nelly the Independence. holds that Spain
cannot cede the Philippine archipelago,
because lit was never hers

Mr.. Shapley stated that the books and
hearing We're voluminous. These mat
ters of evidence he and his colleagues
had not had an opportunity to exam
inc. They desired to have an expert go
over these accounts carefully before
they would be ready to combat the al
legations of the commonwealth. and he
asked that date not earlier than Dec.
L be fixed. He said, furthermore, that
his colleague, a. S. L. Shields, had an
important case in the United States
court on Monday next, which would
probably occupy his time several days.
He would, therefore, be obliged to con-
duct this trial alone should the date
be fixed for next week.
Judge Finletter stated that he would
treat this case as that of any other or
binary criminal proceeding on the
docket, and he could nor, therefore,
grant the time asked for by defend
ants counsel. lie intended fixing Mon
Day next as the date for trial, but in
Difference to Mr.. Shields professional
engagement on that day, he would ap-
point the following day, Tuesday, Dec
6, for the opening of the trial. He
stated that he considered that ample
time for counsel to prepare their de-
fense.
Four of the five bills of Indictment
found by the grand jury charged the
defendants with conspiracy to misuse
the funds of the state on deposit in
the Peoples bank for their own benefit
and profit. and the fifth Indictment
charged Benjamin J. Haywood with il
legally loaning 100000 of the state
funds, over which he had control.
Demurrers We're entered by defendants
counsel last week to the first four in
dictments but Judge Finletter today
declared these demuTrers not sustained.
A motion to quash the fifth Indictment
was also overruled by the judge.
Judge Finletter, later in the day, re-
considered his decision fixing the date
OF the Quay trial for Dec. 6, and fixed
Monday, Dec. u, as the day.

LIVED BUT A MONTH.
United States of Central America
Passes AWAY.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The dissolution
of the United States of Central Amer
lea, after a national existence of less
than a month, is announced in a dis
patch received by one of the highest
officials of Central America today 1t
states that the success of the revolu-
tion in Salvador and the overthrow of
President Gutierrez, led to a meeting
of the three commissioners who formed
the executive head of the union until
president was elected, and a decision
was reached to abandon the union,
leaving each of the three states form
ing it-Nicaragua, Salvador and Hon
duras-to resume its former status as
an Independent sovereign nation
1t is understood that this condition
is much preferred by the government
of the United States, which would
rather deal directly with Nicaragua
and the other countries than with an
anomalous union. Leading Central
American officials said today that on
the ruins of this attempt at a union,
might be built a more substantial union
embracing all five of the states of Cen
trail America. The absence of Costa
Rica and Guatemala from this last at
tempt at union operated largely toward
its failure.
