per cent interest on loans.
Pending a vote upon the amendment. Mr.
Perkins of California presented an argu-
ment in favor of the bill. He argued that
the proposed bank was duty to the peo-
pie of this country who desired to do BUSH
ness with our Central or South American
neighbours, and 1t was notice to the world
that the United States proposed to make an
effort to reach out for the business of the
western hemisphere.
Mr.. Frye of Maine was surprised that
there should be serious objection to a
pan-American bank. This proposed bank,
he said, is simply an instrumentality for
the promotion of our export trade.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado maintained that
the proposed bank would not relieve the
situation, and it would not be relieved until
we had ships doing business with South
and Central America The failure to sell
goods in the southern countries was not,
In his opinion, due to a lack Of banking
facilities in the United States.
Mr.. Bacon reviewed the bill very much
as Mr.. Teller viewed it. 1.-THE great pur-
pose of the BILL he declared, sis to incor-
porate a bank which shall have the name
and power and prestige and authority of
the United States government There is
nothing in it. Is 1t proper that all other
banks of the country shall be brought into
competition with gigantic bank backed
by the name and prestige and authority
of the government of the United States?"
After Mr. Foraker, in reply, had cited
additional authority in support of his con-
tention, the senate. at sis p. M, went into
executive session and soon after adjourned.

BLANCo'S BAD BLUFF
Trys to Coax the Ships Blockadlng
Havana Into Trouble

Havana Into Trouble
KEY WEST. Fla. June IA. S:45 a. H.
Captain-General Blanco has apparently
not yet abandoned the hope of Turing the
American warships within range of the
Havana batteries. He tried again on Fri
day morning last, but with no better sue
cess than in his previous attempts.
Advices received from here today are to
the effect that three Spanish ships ran
out to the mouth of Havana harbor OH
the day mentioned and headed in an east
erly direction. The vessels of the blockad-
ing squadron were lying we'll off shore, the
nearest not being closer than two thousand
yards. Upon sighting the Span.ards, they
ran In a short distance and opened fire on
them. The volley of shot and shell brought
no response from the enemy, but the ships
speedily turned tail, and, huggng the
shore under the batteries, ran back into
the harbor. The American ships, however,
did not accept the bait and made no further
attempt to modest them. The character of
the Spanish boats could not be positively
fixed on account of the distance, but the
American officers who participated in the
affair say one or two were small gunboats
of the class which has been maneuverlng
all along the north coast in futile efforts to
draw the American ships within the fire Of
the special batteries. Yesterday afternoon,
three of the Havana batteries, the Santa
Clara batteries and sand batteries one
and two deliberately opened fire on one Of
the auxiliary gurboats which was cruis-
ing closely along the shore. About half
dozen shots were fred none finding any
other mark than the sea. although several
dropped too close for comfort.
The gunboat made no reply, but hurried
out of danger and made the report to the
flagship of the b,ockading squadron. No
attempt at retaliation, however. was made.

FRESNO fUSIONIS1S
COUNTY CONVENTION OF DEMO-
Gratis AND PoPULIsTS
Oregon Fusion Platform Adopted.
Omaha Declaration Of Princi-
Piles Indorsed-The Ticket

FRESNO, June 1.-THE county conven-
tons of the Democratic and Populist par
ties met in this city today and endorsed the
fusion arrangement entered into by the
central committees some weeks ago, with
the exception of the proposition that both
conventions adopt the Oregon fusion plat
form. The Populsts were informed in ad-
vance that the Democratic convention
would not accept the Oregon platform, and
as they were treated literally in the divis-
ion of offices, they wisely decided not to
press the matter, so each convention
adopted Its own platform. The Popelist
platform indorses the Omaha declaration
of principles and the Democratic the Chi
cago, and both denounce the county admin
istration of the Republicans. The work of
the conventions was performed very slow
ly and both were in session far into the
night. The Populists adjourned until to-
morrow morning, being unable to complete
their labors. They nominated the follow
ling ticket:
State senator, L. U. Hoskins of MADEIRA
county.
Assessor, j. w. Ferguson.
Tax collector, j. B. Hancock.
Superintendent of schools G. c. Ramsay.

THE M[LINE MINISTRY
SCENE OF CONFUSION IN TIN
FRENCH CHAMBER
Almost Certainty That the Present
Ministry Will Be overthrown.
Ruin, Says the Premier

PARIS. June 14.-The Meline ministry
later was defeated in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties by 296 to 246 votes, amid intense excite
ment and an uproar.
The house was crowded, as were the pub
lie galleries.
The premier, M. Meline, opened the Pro-
ceedings by vehemently repudiating the
statement that he was engaged IN nm anti
democratic policy, but he declared that the
accession of Socialists to power would spell
ruin for France.
Ex-Mindster Bourgeois followed, haunting
M. Meline with being unwilling to cut him.
self free from the Rightists, and several ex-
treme Leftists continued their severe stric-
tures of the premier's ''undemocratic pol
icy.''
M. Ribot then delivered q warm eulogy OF
the premier and proposed vote OF conn-
dence in the government, but its terms elic-
tied loud protests from the Rightists and
general excitement.
M, Meline, however, accepted the terms OF
the motion, whereupon M. Cassaignac
charged him with throwing over the Right
lists. The premier retorted that he had
never asked for the support of the Higntists-
The first part of M. Ribot's motion, 1.-The
chamber approving the declarations OF the
government" was then adopted by vote
of $50 to 272, as already cabled to the Asso-
ciated Press, and the second part, ''is de-
termined to put in force the policy OF DEM
ocratic reform based on the union OF Re-
publicans," was adopted by 525 to 5votes.
Thus far matters went comparatively
smoothly; then M. Henri Ricard moved to
add the words land supported by majority
exclusively Republican"
NJ Mehne refused to accept this addition.
NJ Ricard insisted upon vote, and the ad-
dition was carried by 80 to 246, whereupon
there was terrible uproar.
The members of the extreme Left arose en-
masse and shouted for the retirement of M.
Meline.
M. Berteaux yelled: Get out, you are
defeated
Others, pointing to the ministerial bench.
INDUCED in chorus of "boohs." The So
cialists vociferated, Resign, resign"
When lull occurred another vote was
taken on the entire motion, which M. Me-
line accepted swallowing the obnoxious ad-
dition, and the motion was adopted by 2SA
to 272 votes The chamber Of deputies then
adjourned until Monday.
In the lobby Of the chamber the opinion
was freely expressed that M. Meline would
resign after the council tomorrow, though
nothing is certain, owing to the contradict
tory character of the votes.

circling the camp. the twitter of the long
steel bullets overhead, while the machine
guns down on the water were ripping open
the pickets and the crash Of the field guns

the thickest. Then there was the screech
of the Marblehead's shell as she took a
hand in the fight, and sharp. quick flashes
of the Colt rapid-fire one-pounder guns
from the effectiveiy-placed ship launches.
The Dolphin this morning located the
Spanish water station on the ocean side
Of the harbor entrance, which supplied
the water for the attacking force. The
well was situated in a blockhouse wind
mill, having a small garrison. 1t was
shelled at 1000 yards.
Excellent practice was made, the station
was wrecked, and canister followed the
retreating Spaniards up the steep ravine.
Each shell disclosed the spot where it hit
by raising a cloud of dust. They were all
well placed. The arrival Of the fleet to
complete the bombardment of the town
and its defenses is expected this afternoon.

IMPORTANT CHINESE CASE
Question Of Merchants Certificates
Settled

SAN FRANCISCO, June A.-A decision
rendered today by United States Commits
sioner Heacock in the case of Wong Wen
will tend toward settling the conflict be-
tween the treaty with China and the act of

Wen arrived here on the steamer Belgic
with sixty Of his countrymen, all of whom
sought to enter on merchants certificates
issued under the act of 1854, and his case
was submitted to test the law.
The government held that the certificate
in question was defective, as necessary de-
tails were not stated. The petitioner claimed
that these statements were not demanded

missioner Heacock sustained the objections
to the certificate and a recommendation for
