NEW WATER SCHEME.
Mayor and Trustees Gro to Auburn
to Investigate.

Mayor Land and Trustees Mckay.
Douglas, Dolan, Tebbets and Devine
went up to Auburn yesterday on the
overland train, in company with A. NJ
Buchanan, c. w. Clarke and others,
to examine into a proposition to sup
ply the city with water from the north
fork of the American River.
City Clerk M. J. Desmond and City
Surveyor Mulleney and his assistants
accompanied the party. They were to
go in wagons from Auburn to the
point on the river from which it is
proposed to take the water
The Mayor and Trustees returned last
night on the overland train, which was
several hours late, having inspected the
new dam which is being constructed.
1t is estimated by the projectors that
the pipe line that would convey the
water to a settling reservoir near Fair
Oaks and thence to this city, as is pro-
posed, would cost about 100000.
They yesterday expressed their will
ingness to sell it to the city at cost
and also to sell to it a perpetual water
right for a sum which at present they
decline to state The water in the river
yesterday was found to be quite mud
dy, and, therefore, lacking one essential
element of clear water.

A CATTLEMAN MISSING.
OF G.. G. GIL.
LETT STILL UNKNOWN.
Owes Large Sums Of Money, His
Paper Being Scattered From
Denver to New York.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 26.-The where
abouts of Grant C. Gillett, the big Kan
sas cattle feeder, whose failure was an
nounced yesterday, is still unknown.
Probably twenty-five different Kan
sas City livestock commission houses
are indorsers of Gillett paper, which
is said to be scattered through the
banks of the country from Denver to
New York City. All Of the local firms
declare that the paper they hold is
amply secured and there cannot be
possibly any loss to a single holder. OF
the cattle in the feed lots, something
over 10000 head were purchased from
one Denver firm, that of Dake & Keeler,
to whom Gillet is said to have given a
mort gage of $20S, COO. These cattle are
three-year-ol steers, and cattlemen
assert a low estimate Of their present
value is $50 a head, or about $40 a
head more than the interest in the cat
tie held by the Denver firm Another
lot of cattle is about $500 head, which
Gillett and another dealer own in Ok
lahoma. These cattle are said to be
mortgaged for $125,000, and are said
to be worth a. third more than the
amount against them.
A remarkable thing about Gillett's
methods of doing business was that he
kept no books, and took no one into his
confidence. All the details of his enor-
nous deals We're carried in his head,
and this cOmplicates matters. Gillett
is dubbed as careless fnancier, and
those who know him. best now say that
sheer luck carried him through many
of his heaviest deals. Many local stock
men declare that he would not run
away, even If he knew his debts would
wipe out his herds and ranches, because
he believes that luck will always at
tend him. Nevertheless there was talk
to-day that he had mortgaged cattle
twice and left to avoid arrest.
The deal that forced Gillett to the
wall was a $125,000 loan held by a
Kansas City livestock firm The money
was advanced to him on $500 head of
feeding cattle in Oklahoma, and the
mortgage fell due last week. The Kan
sas City firm declined to extend the
loan. Gillett tried hard to get money,
but for the first time in his career he
was unable to get backing.
Close upon the heels of that came a
deal that he had with Vaile & Gates,
the Arizona cattle magnates. Gillett
had paid $4,000 as earnest money on
1000 cattle in the Panhandle of Texas,
which Vale & Gates owned, on the fa-
nous "J. A." ranch. These cattle We're
worth S120,000 and Gillett was unable
to raise the money to take them. He
saw his $4,000 gost pay a liability for
the loss to Vale e. Gates.
As soon as it was learned here that
Gillett was being pressed by one or
two of his creditors. others sent their
representatives, to his ranch to protect
their loans. Meanwhile the plunger took
his leave. Eastern holders of Gillett's
paper, which has been passed through
the hands of the Kansas City firms. be-
gan telegraphing, and to-day few of the
Kansas City houses are trying to sell
livestock paper. ~

Exports to United Kingdom Show a
Steady Increase,
While The Imports From That Country Are
Quite the Reverse.
In Nearly ALI of the Great Glasses
of Goods for Which American
Producers Are Seeking a Market
the October Importations Into
England Were in Excess of
Those in Preceding Years.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Some interesting facts about Amerl-
can commerce with Great Britain are
contained in the October statement.
Trade and Navigation of the United
Kingdom just received by the Treas
ury Bureau Of Statistics. This shows
that despite the small purchases which
the people of the United States are
making from Great Britain, sales to
that country increase. In nearly all the
great classes of goods for which Amer
lean producers are seeking a market,
the October importations into the Unit
ed Kingdom from the United States
were in excess of those in preceding
years. while the exports of manu-
factures from the United Kingdom to
the United States in most cases are
smaller than those in earlier years.
Imports of bacon from the United
States in October, 1898, were $40
pounds in value against 363, ,SS4
pounds in October, 1897: those of hams,
303, ,635 pounds. against 1877 ,5SS pounds
in October of last year; of butter, 3D.
097 pounds, against 3072 pounds;
lard, 206, 1877 pounds, against 166,756
pounds; flour, $40, IA pounds, against
521, 592 pounds; oats, 1882 pounds,
against 123, 742 pounds; copper un-
wrought and part wrought, 1861
pounds, against 1881 pounds; lead,
Al, OBJ pounds, against 36,611 pounds;
tallow, 35 $50 pounds, against 3.429
pounds; hewn wood and timber o.,
O12 pounds, against 37,714 pounds;
wood. sawed, split, planed or dressed,
134, 657 pounds, against 91,S69 pounds;
leather, 274,68 pounds, against 49,,
723 pounds.
On the other hand, the exports from
Great Britain to the United States are
in nearly all cases similar to those in
October, 1897, despite the fact that
they were abnormally smaller in that
month because of the excessive impor-
tations in the months just preceding
the enactment of the revenue law in
July of that year. Exports of wool
to the United States in October, 1898,
were valued at 1861 pounds, against
%, 5,44S pounds in October, 1897; those
of cotton piece goods were 3,2S3. 200
yards, against 3,341, 700 yards in Octo-
Der, 1897, and 3,447 200 in October,
1896; wooden tissues showed an in
crease over October of last year, but
a very great fall compared with Oc-
tober, 1896, the total for October 1898,
being 74,900 yards, against 2920O in
October, 1897, and 467 600 in October,
1896. The exports of worsted tissues
were 693, 600 yards in October, 1898,
against 4S9, 800 in October, 1897, and
1855, 400 in October, 1896.
The exports of hardware from Great
Britain to the United States in Octo-
ber 1898 were 3 161 mounds against
1888 pounds in October of last year
and 1862 in October, 1896.
Exports of wire or iron or steel were
in October of the present year 1857
pounds in value, against 1915 pounds
in October, 1896. OF tinplates, the ex-
ports to the United States in October,

black plates for timing amounted to
only 70 pounds in October, 1898, against
142 pounds in October, 1897, and 1,6T9
pounds in October. 1896. Earthen and
chinaware exports increased slightly
over October of last year, but were
materially less than in October, 1896,
being 41,95 in October, 1898; 3d. ,209
pounds in October. 1897, and GIFTS
pounds in October, 1896
Writing or printing paper and envel-
opes amounted in October of the pres
ent year to 81 pounds, and in October
of last year to 1850 pounds.
In certain lines of manufactured
articles, such as linens, cotton, woolen
and silk goods, carpets and clothing,
October of the present year shows a
slight increase over the exports of the
corresponding month of last year, but
in many cases fall below October,
1896
In one particular the exports from
Great Britain to the United States
show a marked increase, and this is in
the case of articles required in the
great industries of this country. Of
jute yarn used in manufacturing, the
exports to the United States in Octo-
Der. 1898 amounted to 102 0G0 pounds,
against 600 pounds in October Of last
year and 1890 pounds in October,
1896 while those of jute piece goods,
used largely for bagging for grains
and cotton increased from 363,300
yards in October, 1897, to IL, ,104,5 800
in October, 1898 OF linen yarn, the
October, 1898, exports to the United
States were 105, 900 pounds against
50 500 pounds in October, 1897, and
sc, 800 in October 1896. The exports

EXpOrIS Oh ceiHeilt " eie
States in October 1898, amounted to
S.O31 tons, against 4072 in October of

! lars, however the exports of articles

marked decrease, these being in woolen
and worsted yarns, the exports OF
woolen yarns being in October of the
present year 700 pounds, against LOO
