Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco has
come to Washington and with Archbishop
ireland has called upon the President 1t
is understood that one of the purposes of
his visit is to induce the government CT
the United States to renew its efforts to
secure the payment by the Mexican gov
ernment to the Catholic Church of Cali
tornia OF more than a million dollars said
to be due the church on account of what
Is known as the pious fund. Before tie
acquisition Of Upper California by the
United States the Catholic churches of
Upper and Lower California had on deposit
with the Mexican government money and
property aggregating a very large total
upon which the Mexican government was
opilSated to pay the churches a certain an
nuai interest. In the case of the church
or Upper California, this interest amounted
almost to $4,000 annually. The interest
payments ceased after the Mexican war
AFTER the lapse Of twenty years this claim
IN oehalf OF the church for interest Cnpaid
came before the Mexican claims commits
sion, which allowed the claim. Rut sinca
tnae Date, although the award was paid bv
the mexican government, there have been
no 1urther payments of interest and the
purpose is now to press for a settlement of
this interest account. Negotiations have
been proceeding in way between wass
ington and Mexico for some wears mast
but there have been no exchanges of racsnt
cate. The Mexican government has not
SHOWN any disposition to avoid a settle
ment, but bases it's failure so far to nav
interest upon the broad claim that the
award py the Mexican claims commission

tlement in full.

CLOSE IN MARYLAND

GREAT INTEREST In LEGISLATURE
Attempt of Democrats to Deceive

Special Dispatch To- The Evening Star
BALTIMORE Nd, November 2-The
campaign for the control of the next gem
eral assembly or Maryland and the conse-
quent succession of Senator George l.. vel
lington Will close today with the result In
doubt. No bets OF any moment are being
made and the most careful observers are
non-committal as to the outcome. although
many people believe that ex-senator Cor
man will be able to control enough votes TO
secure his return to the Senate as Weling-
toms successor. Both parties today are
making the usual claims. and both appear
equally confident. The republican leaders.
Senator McComas and Chairman Goldsbor-
ougn, said this morning that their party will
elect enough members to give their party
the control on joint ballot, while the demo-

democrats Attempt to Deceive Voters.
The tricks which are being played by the
democrats in making up the ballots I'm some
OF the counties seem to be reacting, and the
PROBABILITY Is that they will do those guilty
OF them more harm than good. All sorts
OF schemes have been resorted to by the
party In power to arrange the ballots in
such way as to confuse fliterate voters.
and general disgust even among democrats
mas resulted in all parts OF the state. II is
but fair to say that no such schemes have
been attempted in Baltimore city. and the
ballot here is printed in large type SO that
IT can easily be voted by any one of ordi-
nary intelligence.
Mr.. German conducted his campaign in
person and the responsibility for what has
been done is laid on him by all The re-
publicans claim that his management OF
the campaign in the counties has reacted
in the city, and that the Indignation
aroused by the ballot tricks will enable
them to defeat the democrats in the city
and thus control all three of the legislative
districts into which the town is divided
II this should prove to be the case on
Tuesday, Mr. Gornan win fail in his plans
to secure a reelection, as the represent
atives of the city will probably decide the
case.
Result Depends on CoIored Vote
The best opinion is that the whole result
will depend on the ability of the illiterate
colored voters in southern Maryland ana
on the eastern shore to make their ballots.
If 75 per cent of them can vote correctly
the republicans will undoubtedly win while
IL they fail to vote correctly Mr. German
to be abundantly supplied with money. and
the indications are that the corruption I'm I
cident to all elections In Maryland will be
as great next Tuesday as ever before.

Wholesale Discharges fn Illinois Gem
tral Shops Near Chicago

CHICAGO. November 2.-Four hundred
employees Of the Illinois Central railroad,
working in the shops at Burnside, near
Chicago, have been laid off. Out of a force
of 1856 machinists and helpers 1aS were in
cluded in the lay-off. Boiler makers. black
smiths and their helpers and roundhouse
men make up the balance Of the number.
The cause of the discharge of so many
men is not stated by the company officials
A large percentage of those discharged are
union men and some of them attribute
their discharge to the agitation last April
when the machinists of the entire syst EN-
made a demand for nine-hour workd ,y
threatening strike. The demand was
announced a general increase of 10 per
cent in the wages of all it's employees.

the Suez Canal Company against the pro-
posed Nicaraguan canal.
1t is interesting to note that several Eng
lish authorities interviewed by representa-
tives of the Associated Press all declared
that English trade with the far east, where
to- within few years, the largest tonnage
would be speeding, must be bound to take
the isthmian route, not only to expedite
cargoes, but to avoid the palpabte danger
of the Suez route, which now conlpels them
to skirt the shores of three nations, France.

the United States is impossibility.
Only Isthmian Canal Involved.
In view of the return to the United States
sumption of negotiations, which in this case
are to put into the concrete form of
treaty the propositions agreed upon by the
governments of the United States and
Great Britain as basis of a convention to
replace the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of last
year. it may be proper to state, upon the
highest official authority, that there is abb
sCluteiy no ether question than that of the
isthmian canal involved in the negotiations.
Further, 1t is stated that no demand las
been made by the British government for
any compensation whatever for the relin-
quishment of it's joint rights in the control

sirable thing for the world at large, and
that thought was at the bottom of the ne

part Of artistically inclined residents.
1.-THE treasury building is undeniably
classic in form, as it is undeniably dngy
and dirty in appearance. Marble and gran
lite buildings must be scraped and cleaned
with metallic brushes every few years il
the original color of the stone is to be pre-
served. Private buildings are thus cared

Of the east front with another of more
