A. F. Burleigh to Have Charge of N. P. Property. NAMED BY U. 8. JUDGE GILBERT Application Quickly (iranteit, Until .1 Taken and Ituml Flled-The Old Itecervera' Kealgnatlon. Portland, Or., Oct 5. Mr. Andrew F. Burleigh, of Seattle, was yesterday appointed receiver of the Northern Faoifio Railroad Company'B property in this state, by United States District Judge William B. Gilbert. Wednes day United States District Judge Han ford, of Washington, removed the old receivers of the Northern Pacific, Messrs. Oakes, Rouse and Payne, and appointed Mt. Burleigh ' receiver in their places for the Northern Pacific properties in the state of Washington. Mr. Burleigh was required to give a bond in the sura of $300,000, which he filed Wednesday afternoon, with satisfactory sureties. His order of ap pointmeut was made absolute, and or ders were also made removing the old receivers and admitting the second and third mortgage bondholders to become parties to the suit Cited to Appear. Seattle, Oct. 5. As C. W. Bunn, attorney for Oakes, Payne and Rouse, the deposed Northern Pacifio receivers, was about to step ou his train, eastward bound, he was confronted by a deputy United States marshal, who surprised hin with a citation directed to the re ceivers. It cites them to appear in court here at 10 A. M., October 81, to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt in having dis obeyed the order to appear before Judge Hanford yesterday and give an account of their stewardship. The impression prevalent is that the Jenkins receivers have allowed themselves to be placed in a serious predicament. Jugde Han ford is known to be no respector of per sons, and there would be littlo surprise if he should severely lecture the re ceivers and then imprison them. The effect, of the appointment of An drew Burleigh to be . receiver of the Northern Pacifio will probably have a direct bearing on the railroad situation in this oity. As general counsel for the Oregon Improvement Company, Burleigh has become thoroughly famil iar with the old Ram's horn entangle ment on Railroad avenue, and his guiding hand will doubtless contribute greatly to a settlement of the diffi culty. The four roads centering here are now conferring and an agreement is momentarily expected whereby the avenue will be widened to 202 feet and the tracks shifted under new franchises granted by the oity council. Burleigh's successor as general counsel for the Oregon Improvement Company will not be named until word has been re ceived from President Elijah Smith, now in New York. Receiver Andrew F. Burleigh, of the Northern Pacific, returned to this oity at 4:30 this afternoon by special train from Portland. He was fatigued and spoke but briefly. It is understood that the offices of the company will re main at Tacoma, but that Mr. Bur leigh will continue to live in this oity. He received a distpatoh saying that his application to be made to Judge Beatty, of the Idaho district, would not be opposed, and it is probable that his receivership will be extended by Monday to the Montana line. Mr. Bnrleigh found an enormous stack of telegrams awaiting him. He said: "I have not yet made any further appointments, and will defer any step in that direction for the time being. No Search Without Warrants. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 8. An import ant decision was handed down by the supreme court yesterday, involving the validity of a section of the prohibitory law. The law of 1889 conferred upon police officers authority to enter any place where it was thought liquor was being sold and make arrests without warrant. Under this section police men have been in the habit of entering places which had fallen under suspi cion and arresting whoever they caught in apparent possession of the place. The court holds that this section, inso far as it regards arrest for misdemean ors not committed in view of the offi cers, is unconstitutional and void. An Inland In the Mlmourl. St. Joseph. Mo..

The Murder of Lena, the Blcycllrt. London, Oct 7. The Armenian cor respondent of the Daily News says that the pasha appointed by the sultan to carry out the projected reforms in Ar menia has granted permission to Will iam A Sachtelben, the St Louis bicy clist, to accompany him to Bayazlid, and has promised to aid him in clear ing up the matter of the murder of Frank Lenz, the American bicyclist, for which purpose Mr. Sachtelben went to Turkey. UNDER THE EXCLUSION LAW. A Coolie Claiming to Ha Nuturallaed 1 Ilefueed Aduilaaloii, San Franoisoo, Oct. 5. Among the passengers on the last trip of the Rio Janeiro was a couple named Oee Hop, who were returning from a long visit to China. Oee Hop claims to be a citizen of the United States, and pro duces documents to prove it, amoug other tilings a passport issued by the department of state bearing the signa ture of James O. Blaine. Collector Wise, however, says he is the sole judge as to the landing of Chinese, and he refuses to recognize Gee Hop's cre dentials. The matter will be taken into the United States courts and a de cision will be watched for with inter est The coolie is a bright, intelligent fellow, and his uuswer regarding his voting shows he is familiar with the affairs of this country. He furnished to the collector his original naturaliza tion certificate. It was issued by the court of common pleas as Camden, N. J., on May 8, 1800. The testimony upon which the certificate was granted was furnished by a Mrs. F. E. Nash, who testified that Gee Hop had arrived in this country before his 18th year, was of full age and had resided in this country altogether for five years. Gee Hop took the usual oath to support the constitution and renounced all allegi ance to the emperor of China. Gee Hop also presented to the collec tor his passport issued by the depart ment of state. It bears the date of May 12, 1800, and is s'ued by the late James G. Blaine. It is in regular form, requesting on behalf of the gov ernment "to permit Gee Hop, a citizen of the United States, safely and freely to pass, and in case of need, to give him all the lawful aid and protection." A description of Gee Hop forms a part of the passport, together with his own signature. Collector Wise, in ruling on Gee Hop's case, decided that a certificate of naturalization or a passport from the seoretary of state does not mako a coolie a citizen of this country or en title him to residence here under the present exclusion act. Under author ity conferred by the last oongress the collectors of ports of entry are made the sole judges of the rights of coolies to land who claim to.be . merchants or set np claims of residence other than that of being native born. In this case it will be alleged by the attorney for Gee that the certificate of naturaliza tion is evidence of a judgment of a oourr. of record, and the only way to prevent the applicant from landing is to set aside that judgment W hetner this can be done remains to be determ ined. IN FAVOR OF SQUIRE. The Washington Senator Won Hla Long- Urawn-Uut suit. , Wntertown. N. Y.. Oct 5. Judge Williams, of the supreme oourt, today gave an opinion in the celebrated suit brought by Philo Osgood ana otners against United States Senator Watson C Souire and others, involving the title to between $1 ,000,000 and $3,000,- 000 worth of property in the city or Seattle. The judge decides in favor of Senator Squire. The case has been on trial more than a year, ana nas ex- oited wide interest. Originally Philo Rpminirton. the treat typewriter man, of lliou, together with Philo Osgood, Floyd Shepard, W. S. King and J. N. Goodwin, bought the property in part nership, Remington and Osgood ad vancing much of the money lor tne purchase of the laud. The title re mained theirs until 1868. Goodwin and Osgood released to Remington, subsequently, all their interests in the property July 12, 1876, Remington deeded the property to his son-in-law, Watson C. Squire, lor tne sum oi oo, 000. In 1893, King, Osgood and Shep ard. three of the original owners, made a claim to an interest in the property under the original agreement. The attorneys were Ira van voor- his, John Van Voorhis and William A. Sutherland, of Rochester, for the plaintiffs: and Hon. A. Mills, of Little Falls, William Kernan, of Utica. and W. G. Tracy, of Syracuse, for the de fendants. Judge Williams holds that the partnership originally entered into by the parties was a partnership in name, but not in effect. He Hurts that the sale to Squires was fair and valid, and odrers a final decision to be pre pared in accordance with the opiuion, dismissing the complaint with costs. Abolition of Sugar Premium. Ber'in, Oct 1. The National Zei tnmr savs that international negotia tions, with a view of bringing about a reduction in and the ultimate abolition of the premiums on sugar paid by some countries, still couintue, and it is hoped they will lead to some positive re- unlts. since the countries concerned, principally France, are interested, in view of the financial situation, in oo' taiuing the abolition of these pay' merits. Li Hune Chang Summoned to Peking Loudon, Oct 5. A dispatch to the Standard from Shanghai says that I.i Hnnn- ChaDGr has gone to Peking at the special request of the dowager empress of China, witn wnom he has always had the most cordial re lations. A grand scheme of adminis trative reoreanization his been pre pared between them, a prominent fea ture being the removal of the capital from Peking to some more secure place in Central China. Affaire In Weetem Aaia Grave. New York, Oct 6.

The reception recorded Colonel von Moltke by the czar wn most friendly. NONE SPOKE FOR HIM. burraut'i Claeamntea Placed ou the Wltneaa Stand. San Francisco, Oct. 4. The defense in the Durraut case did today that which it has often urged the prosecu tion to do. Attorney Deuprey called to the stand fifty-uine members of the class to whom Dr. Cheney lectured the afternoon of April 8, and asked each one if he answered to Durraut's name at the roll-call. Every answer was in the negative. Attorney Deuprey went further and asked each studeut if he knew of any other member of the class who hud answered to Durraut's name. Not one of the witnesses bad any in formation on the subject. Of the stu dents summoned to the stand, not one knew whether Durraut was at the lecture-room in Cooper college the day that Blanche Lament was murdered, or ! not Neither could they call to mind any other student who was thero. It is expected that the remaining four teen members of the class will be called to the stand tomorrow. While the step taken by the defense today in calling Durraut's classmates to the stand is generally regarded as a bold move, it cannot be said that it re sulted to the material advantage of either side. The testimony of the fifty niue witnesses who were placed ou the stand was important in so far as it went to refute the contention of the prosecution that somebody else an swered to Durraut's name on the day of the murder. On the other haud, the prosecution contends that the ' testi mony is unimportant, inasmuch as seventy-three students might give satis factory evidence for the defense, while the seventy-fourth member of the class, if he could be found, will give evi dence that the prosecution so much de sires. Great stress was laid by both sides today on the memory of the witnesses as to the individual students who at tended the lecture. While the prose cution showed that not one of the stu dents who were placed ou the stand re membered seeing Durraut at the lec ture, the defense brought out the fact that the witnesses did not remember any other student who was present. The day's testimony, therefore, result ed in no material advantage to either side. Seattle May Jiuild Them. Seattle, Oct. 4. Among the bids for the construction of six new gunboats opened at the navy department yester day, the lowest bid for two single screw vessels was by the Detroit Dry dock Company, und it was said there would be a question as to awarding the contract to that firm, because of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, which provides that ships of war cannot be built ou the Great Lakes, although inteuaed lor service on the sea. ' This question is already answered. If the Detroit Dry dook Company secures the contract, as it undoubtedly will, because its bid is the lowest, the two single-screw gun boats will be built at Seattle. There has been a representative of the com pany in this city for nearly a year, and today he said that it was the mtention of the company to build ghipbuilrting yards here if this contract wereseoured, and this would be but the start of a big plant. For the first two boats the machinery will be made at the .Detroit yard and shipped to this point, the rest of the work being done here, ihe ue troit Drydock Company is a wealthy Michigan corporation. Its capital is $1,000,000, aud it has no debts. Its president is Hugh MoMillan, brother of Senator .McMillan, and these two gentlemen, together with Alexander A. McVittie and Frank E. mroy, are tne principal shareholders. A TOWN WITHOUT REVENUE. The Cloning of Saloon Ileaulte In Finan cial Eiiiburraaaiueiit. Kansas City, Oct. 4.

To Shut Out California Corn. Seattle, Oct 4. It is reported that the Burington is about to enter into a traffic agreement with the Northern Pacific whereby it can lay aown ie- hraaka corn in the Washington market for from $18 to $20 a ton. At present the Burlington is handling a part of the wheat crop of this state and its can often come back empty. By making a cheap rata on the return, the Bur lington expect to shut out California corn. ! RESULT OF HARD TIMES Receipts of Railways Greatly Reduced in Two Years. THE KKPOUT OK WADK HAMPTON guggeatloua Made by the Coiuiiilaaloiier of lluilrouila In llegard to the l'a el lie Itoada' lleute. Washington, Oct. 4. Wade Hamp ton, commissioner of railroads, has made his annual report to the secre tary of the interior. He says in the hard times, it appears th gross re ceipts of the Union Pacifio system weie reduced $1,000,000 per mouth below the normal. The commissioner says a cast iron rule as to payments cannot be observed, and he thinks there should be a flexible adjustment of annual pay ments to correspond with diminished earnings. He thinks the Thurman act will be found to justify the expectation of its f ranters if the following amend ments are made: "First To embrace within its pro visions all Pacific roads which have re ceived from the United States the loan of bonds in aid of construction. "Second To provide that CO per cent, instead of 25 per cent, of the net earning t be retained. "Third To extend the debt, until it shall liHve been discharged as provided. "Fourth To further provide that if any of the companies abandon any part of the subsidized lines, or divert their business from a subsidized to an un subsidized road, the company shall in such case be required to tnv-sfer the lien and condition which attached to the old subsidized line, in order that the rights and interests of the United States may be protected." The commissioner believes such leg islation will hasten the payment of the companies' indebtedness, as they are anxious to be freed from governmental supervision. The commissioner reiers to tne iact that there has been great improvement in conditions since last annual report, and that there is an increase in earn ings of mads under his supervision. He reviews the financial, conditions of the Union Paoiflo and the Central Pa cifio, and says that the debt of the Union Pacific to the government is $58,005,003, with a total liability of $187,078,500; the debt of the Central Pacific to the United States is $57,- 784,188, with a total liability of $185,- 083,682. The bonds of the Central Paoiflo, which fell due Jauuaiy 10, 1895, were to have been paid by the - M .. company, out, as a matter oi iuci, were paid out of the general funds of the United States treasury, ne . saia this payment may be reimbursed from the sale of bouds in the sinking fund, but there is not sufficient market for the sale of such bonds to cancel a tenth of the debt. The properties of the two roads are reported in good condition. He reviews the attempt at Pacifio rail road legislation in the last congress, and says: "The results or the past two years have shown that during a penoa of financial and industrial depression it would be impossible for the Union Pa cific company to meet the annual fixed charges, in addition to other necessary and inevitable expenses, or to earn such an amount as would be required to dis oharire the debt to the United States, in fifty years at 8 per cent, as proposed in the Reilly bill, or even 2 per cent, which the representatives of the com pany were understood to be willing to annept. Some recard should be had for such couditions as have existed, and which are likely to arise again." DISGUSTED WITH BLOOIvlERS. One Town Where tne new uarmein Will Not lie Worn. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 4. The women of this city may ride bicycles, but they have put away all idea oi adopting bloomers, and all on account of a clever trick resorted to by those who oppose the faBhiuii. When the craze nrst struck tne city none but extremely young girls appear ed on the streets in bifurcated gar ment. It was whispered, however, that young women, and some not so youug, were nastily preparing iuo new suits. Then the auti-bioomentes played it low down. They employed a coal-black negress of ponderous weight and flabby form to ride a bicycle through the streets day after day. Thev attired her iu a gorgeous costume, cousisting of a flaming-red waist, blue trousers with a wide white stripe down the sides, and bright yellow hose. Owing to her great avoirdupois this grotesque figure perspires at every pore as she wheels along the streets, but she was well paid for her labor, and the bloomer craze has been killed forever in Birmingham. Another Failure. Chicago, Oct.. 5. Utter failure at tended the efforts of the executive offi cers of the Western roads today to se cure an agreement for the restoration and maiuteuance of freight rates. The meeting was unable to agree on any thing. There was only a partial rep resentation of the roads, and it was deemed inexpedient by thime present to attempt to do anything till a full at tendance could be secured. One of the absentee wai the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. The Missouri Pacific stated explicitly it would not be a party to any agreement to which that road was not also a party. Under these cir cumstances, nothing remained to be done but adjourn. It did so, with the understanding that the chairman should use hi utmot endeavor to bring about a general understanding imoDi the road and learn when it will be convenient for them all to attend. STATE SCHOOL LAND. Waahluiton Coiniulaalonera to Hold for Higher I'rleea. Olympia, Wash., Oct 7. The state laud commission today passed the fol lowing important resolution: "In view of the protests against the apraisals of state lands as being too high, aud that it is the experience of the board that little or no competition exists when laud is offered for sale at publio auction; and, further, iu view of the depressed values of real estate, and that the state is uot obliged to sell at the minimum price, but should en deavor to secure a maximum price, in order that the school and other funds may profit to the best advantage: It is ordered by the state board"that no fur ther sales of state school laud or grant ed lands be made until such advance in real estate values occurs as to justify the board iu offering lauds for sale. This order shall not apply to cases where appraisals have already been or dered, or in which exceptional reasons exist, and iu the latter case such rea son shall be stated in writing by the applicant and spread upon the minutes of the board, if approved." GOVERNOR WEST'S LAST REPORT llrfore Another Can He Made I' tail Will llecoiue a State. Washington, Oct. 6. Governor Ca leb W. West, of Utah, has submitted his annual report to the seoretary of tie interior. Before another report can be made the territory will become a state. The report is devoted almost wholly to statistics showing the re sources and ooudition of the territory. The population is, according to the cesusus of 1805, 247,042,151. Refer ring to the prospective admisoicn and inclosing a copy of the constitution that haabeeu framed, the governor says that it is a source of satisfaction that after much strife, beginning in 188(5, Utah is about to enter the Union as a great and prosperous state, with a ho mogeueous, thriving, contented, peace ful aud happy people. The governor says that he expects that the constitu tion will be adopted, and that favor able action will be taken by the presi dent As the people will choose their representatives and officers of the state, he refrains from making any recommendation as to legislation, sayiug that such officials will be in a position to do what is best for the state. The Chilkat Aahore. Seattle, Oct 4. The City of Topeka arrived from Alaska at midnight with the news that the salmon-laden steamer Chilkat had gone ashore at full speed in Tongas narrows, eighty miles south of Fort Wrangel, and tweuty-ohe miles from Ketchikau. It happened in thiok. misty weather, at 2 o'olock Sun day morning. The shore is rocky, and the bottom of the steamer soon let in the water till she sank with her stern under water. Captain J. W. MoAllep informed Captain Wallace, of the To peka. that he thought by discharging all the Balmon, the vessel can be raised. The cargo is going ashore iu lighters. Her forefoot and part of the keel are gone, and after a few days on the beach she may come south with part of her cargo. The Topeka had passengers from the Yukon and other miues, and fully $100,000 in gold by private indi viduals was brought down. A .Japanese Line to Mexico. Baltimore, Oct. 4. Colonel John A. Cockrel, writing from Yokohama to the Manufacturers' Record, says: "The Cotton-Spinners Association, of Osaka, is now trying to induce the Japanese government to subsidize a line of steamers to ply between Osaka and Yokohama and a point on the west coast of Mexico. The idea is to se cure a steamship line wholly controlled by the Japanese government, and which will connect with the Tehuante peo road. By this route it is thought the cotton states can be reached much cheaper than by way of Taooma. It is likely the enterprise will be carried out, for the Japanese are giving much attention to colonizing Mexioo." The ote of the l'owera. Vienna, Oct. 0. The Politsohe Cor responded published the note which the representatives of the powers at Constantinople have addressed to the porte, drawing attention to tb state of affairs at Staiuboul, and advising the porte to adopt measures for the restora tion of order. The note states that the subscribers have their information partly from eye-witnesses and that it shows that private persons, arrested, were beaten and even killed without the peace officers attempting to prevent it; that orderly persons were attacked, and that those who were wounded were taken to the courts, the police stations and to prisons, and were killed iu cold blood. In Memory of an Editor. Seattle, Oct. 4. As a tribute to the memory of the late Frederick James Grant, formerly United States minister to Bolivia, who was lost with the ship Irauhoe off Cape Flattery September 30th last, there was formed tonight the Frederick James Grant Memorial ho ciety.
