Ih. aiiurtaxe for July,
Washington, Sopt 2. Before the
clow of the flucal year it was an-
nonuoed there would be a deficiency in
the pay of the army for the year ended
July DO. The aituatiun in very dia
treHning for a number of men and
ofllcem in the department of Califor
nia. Cougretrs, by enautmeut, struck
out that portion of the law providing
that certain proportion of the pay of
ouliated men should be retained each
mouth, to be returned to thorn at the
end of their euliatuient. Thia action
of congrea made an ansuicd deficiency
in the pay of the army. Iik conse
quence iuoio than f 00,000 ia now doe
to oHlceri and men, none of which can
be paid until congress cornea to their
relief. About 1 1 1,000 of thin iff due
ofllcera, all of whom aro dependent
upon their pay for their living, and
many are in great dUtr&ii).
Secretary Lainont ia greatly troubled
over the situation. When he first en
tered pnblio life aa private secretary to
President Cleveland ho was dependent
upon his salary for his support. Dur
ing four years of the Harrison admin
istration he was a successful specula
tor, and today is said to be worth
1,000,000. Secretary Laniont realizes
that many of the officers are in
straightened circumstances by the fail
ure of congress to appropriate sufficient
money to pay the army for the last
month of the fiscal year. Ho desires
to relieve this distress, and, it is said,
proposes to advance to the paymaster-
general a sufficient sum to make good
the shortage for July. . If he finds he
oan hope for repayment he will give
his personal check for the auiout re
quired. Senator Harris advised him
that as aecreatary of war he could not
make any contract with his own de
partment and look for reimbursement
from congress, but as plain Mr. La
mont he could advance money to the
paymaster-general, and could con
fidently expect to be reimbursed. Un
less oougvess provides for the increased
appropriation in the urgent deficiency
bill, the deficit for the next fiscal year
will be 200,000.
NO TROUBLE THUS FAR.
Then Will Be, However, Should In
dian, feralat In Hunting.
Burns, Or., Sept 2. There has
been no trouble with the Indians on
the Stein mountains or elsewhere in
this country thus far.
The Indians from the Warm Springs
and Umatilla reservations come an
nually into this country to kill doer for
their skins, leaving the carcasses to go
to waste, and the greater number of
people of this country are determined
to put a stop to this work. The judge
of our county court wrote to the agents
of these agencies early in the season,
asking tliein to keep their Indians ont of
this country. The agents ridiculed the
county court, and the people have taken
the thing in band.
There are about fifty Warm springs
Indians here today, and although there
has been no trouble thus far, should
they persist in going to the Stein
mountains there will oertainly be trou
ble. One hundred men, good, true and
determined, could be raised here in one
hour to go out into any part of the
county for this purpose, and shoukl
that time oome, Lo, the poor Indian!
Troop A, O. N. O., stands ready to go
at a moment's notice if required.
There have been no Bannook Indians
on the Stein mountains or within 300
miles of there this season. The story
of the signal fires and the people get
ting together at Diamond valley is cor
rect, but the soare is over. ,

Montreal. Sent. 2. Charles Green-
wood, an electrician here, who has
often earned an odd penny by inven
tions of one kind and another, last
Thursday allegedly caught in mack
river, a tributary of the St Lawrence,
Ren sernent which looked like a
monstrous conger eel. It was 33 feet
long, and in some parts ot the body
rhvo ftwt in circumference. At first
lnnnl natters did not take it no. but
when they did it was done with a ven
geance. Thousands came to see it,
and as it was pickled and could not be
touched, it looked for all the world
like the real nrtiole. Wednesday after
noon Magistrate Dugan ordered Con

open the beast and found it was made
of cotton painted and varnished, ana

Zella'S Suit Asjalnst Corg-e Gould.
Jersey City, Sept 2. Counsel for
Zolla Nieolmis-Ruhmau was today
granted pcrtni sion by Judge Lippiu
oott, of the supreme eonrt, to incor
porate in the suit against George J.
Gould for the face value of a check for
140,000, which the latter is alleged to
have forcibly taken from her, the ad
ditional charge of assault recently
made bv Mrs. Kuhniun against Mr.
Gould. The complaint asserts that as
a result of the alleged assault, the date
ot which is sot in April, 1893, her life
was for a long time despaired of.
Counsel for Gould was given thirty
days in which to put in his answer to
the amended complaint
AN IMPORTANT RULIN3,
Dlaaolute Women of Foreign Land. May
t." " Com. In
Seattle, Sept 2. By a ruling of he
commissioner-general of immigration,
the doors of the United States have
been thrown wide open to the dissolute
women of foreign lands, who have es
caped detection on their entrance here.
The decision is of vital importance to
tho Pacific coast, as it affects the ad
mission into this country of Japanese
women sent here for immoral purposes.
The case is that of Fukui Moto, a Jap
anese woman, who for several days
past has been in the custody of the
United States authorities on a charge
of being within the country for im
moral purposes, and who, It wan
thought, was liable to deportation.
She was arrested on that charge by H.
V. Walker, of Taooina, United States
immigrant inspector, and the hearing
was held before Commissioner J. W.
Spriggs, in the city, early in the week.
It was shown that the woman, in com
pany of several others, arrived in this
country last May, and the inspeotor
was prepared to establish the fact that
she bad since plied her nefarious oc
cupation. She was held under the law
of March 3, 1875, designed to cover
such a case, which provides that the
chargo being proved, the commissioner-
general of immigration may order the
depuration of the guilty party within a
year,- but the commissioner-general
wired that the woman could not be de
ported, unless known to bo a public
charge. She was accordingly released
today.
Mlnlater Unnaoni' Trouble.
Washington, Sept 2. Minister
Ransom's troubles have not ceased.
First his salury was withheld for
months, then his appointment as min
ister was declared illegal and bis office
was vacated. It was thought his re
appointment by the president on Au
gust H would end the complications,
bnt deputy anditor of the treasury,
Willis, has decided that Minister Kan-
som cannot draw his salary until con
firmed by the senate, it being a provi
sion of the law that no money shall be
paid from the treasury as salary to any
person appointed during the recess ol
the senate to fill a vacancy to any ex
isting offlco if the vacancy existed
while the senate was in session, and
was by law required to be filled by or
under the advice and consent of the
senate, until such appointee has been
duly confirmed by the senate. The
further question has beend raisewhethcr
when confirmed, Ransom a accrued
salary since the date of his last ap
pointment can be paid, or whether he
will have to look for relief to congress,
as in the case of his first appointment
Fire at Webber Mines.
Spokane, Wash., Sept 2. News
was received tonight of the burning of
all the buildings, ore bins, tools, etc.,
of the Weber group of mines, on Lake
Pend d'Oreille. The contractor haul
ing ore from the mine to the mill set
out a small fire to clear away some
brush. It cot away from him and
swept on to the mines. Besides the
office, storeroom and blacksmith shop,
there was a large boarding-house, all
of which were destroyed, besides the
timbering in the north mouth of the
tunnels. The company had 4,000 tons
of ore in the bins, all of which will
have to be rehandled. . Contractor
House lost most of his large plant and
a number of horses The fire is spread
ing rapidly, and threatens to reach
dangerous proportions. Tho loss to the
mines is about $6,000.

San Francisco, Sept 2. The United
States attorney is arranging to begin
proceedings before Judge Morrow, in
the United States district court, against
the captains of the sealing schooners
Bowhead and Sophie Sutherland for
sealing in the close waters in Behring
sea. Both Captain Sutherland and
Captain Noyes are to be prosecuted
criminally. The Bowhead arrived in

SHE MAY BE SAVED
Bawnmore Still Remains in
the Same Position.
SHE LIES BROADSIDE TO THE SEA
No Live. Ware Lost A.alatanca on th.
Way From San Franelaco-The
Compaa. Wa. Wrong;.
2Bandou, Or., August 81. The ill
fated tank steamer Bawnmore, which
ran aalioie Wednesday in a fog two
miles north of Cape Blanco, lie in
much the same position as when she
Btruck. . All of the crew escaped to the
shore in safety by means of small boats
as the sea was quite calm last night,
and they had no difficulty in reaching
the land. Captain Woodside and his
wife and the crew are camped on the
beach near the scene of the wreck, and
will remain there as long as there is
any hope of saving anything.
The ship lies broadside to the sea,
about 200 feet from shore. She has
settled in the sund to the depth of
about twelve feet, and tho sand is fast
piling up abont her. It is the general
opinion here that she will be com
pletely buried ia about a week. The
steamer is not leaking yet
An effort was made today to lighten
ber stem, but after throwing out thirty
tons of flour, the captain decided the
attempt was useless. Captain Wood
side telegraphed to San Francisco for
the tug Monarch, which left that place
this morning, and will attempt to save
the vessel. The captain Bays his com
pass was deranged, for, according to bis
reckoning, the steamer shonld have
boon twenty miles off shore.
It is no wonder Captain Woodside's
compass did not work right, for the
deck was piled high with street cars,
steam launches, lighters and other iron
and steel cargo. It is evident that
the Bteamer was going ahead at full
speed when she struck, the unfortunate
skipper thinking he was steering in a
southerly direction. Why he persisted
in hugging the shore when be had the
whole Pacific ocean to the westward of
him cannot be understood, especially
as he was not compelled to make stops
at ooast ports. He had plenty of ex
perience in navigating through log ana
smoke on his trip up the coast, and his
friends here cannot understand why be
did not stand well out to sea after leav
ing the straits. He probably wanted to
save as much time as possible, but in
doing so has placed his vessel in a most
unfortunate position.
It is thought the steamer may yet be
saved. Though she is rapidly settling
in the sand, as the Wetmore did, an
attempt will be made to dislodge her.
and the powerful tug : Monarch is
steaming north from San Francisco for
that purpose. If the steamer cannot
be saved, they will try to land as much
of the cargo as possible. The Bawn
more is not likely to break up right
away, unless a storm should oome up,
as she is a very compactly built vessel.
The steamer is valued at $125,000, and
her cargo at $60,000. Both are insured.
Read la Not Insane. '
Salem. August 81. The Rev. J. C.
Read, who acquired notoriety In con
nection with an attempted bank rob
bery in Portland and was afterward
placed in the insane asylum, will be
discharged in a few days for an un
usual oause. . Superintendent Paine
and other officials at the asylum, after
discussing his case thoroughly, state
that since his reception at the asylum,
he has given no evidence of insanity,
hence he will be discharged not as
"improved" or "cured," but as sane
man. Concerning Read's commitment,
the superintendent says he may have
shown signs of mental derangement
prior thereto. The evidence of Mrs.
W. C. Johnson, . the superintendent
thinks, had weight with the jury be
fore whom Read was tried, whereas
she only established ber theory of in
sanity as an ultimate result of epilepsy
without affirming that Read was insane.
After Chicago. Milk-Dealer.
Chicago, August 31. Health Com
missioner Kerr has begun open war
against the milk-dealers. He has filed
charges in the office of the prosecuting
attorney against ninety-three milk-
dealers whose milk or cream had been
examined by the city chemist and been
found wanting. In many cases the
milk had been skimmed, and the dealer
was presumably selling it as good
milk, because his cans were not other
wise tagged when the inspector took
the sample. In some cases the milk
had been merely watered, and in other
cases it had been both watered and
skimmed. In many oases cream had
been found colored, lacking in butter,
or otherwiso deficient
Newfoundland'. Bank Trouble..
St John's, N. F., August 31. The
trustees of the Commercial bank have
made a call upon the shareholders for
the full reserve liabilities on shares,
whioh amounts to $200 on each share.
Some of the leading lawyers say the
shareholders are not liable to the trus
tees, and that the latter oannot enforce
the oall. It is further contended that
the call was rnado without direction
from the supreme court, and conse
quently will have to bo revoked. -The
matter ia certain . to be prolifio of
boundless litigation.
Will Plant Lob.ter.
Vanoouver, B. C, August 29. Pro

arm ot Burrard'a inlet to ascertain the
suitability of the water for lobsters,
which the department intenda intro

THIRTEEN MINERS LOST.
Entombed by the Accidental Flooding
of Colorado Mine, f
Central City, Colo., August 81.
The accidental flooding of the Auieri
cus and the Sleepy Hollow mines, thia
afternoon, caused the death, it is be
lieved, of thirteen miners. Every
effort has boen made to rescue the men,
but little hope is entertained.
Boon after 8 o'clock the water in tho
lower workings of the Fiak mine, east
of the main shaft, broke through the
old workings of a vein which bad not
been worked for a nam ber of years.
Coursing eastward, it struck the Amer
icas, where two Italian miners, whose
names have not been learned, were at
work in the lower part of the shaft.
They were both drowned. In its oourse
the water diverted to the Sloepy Hol
low mine, the easterly portion of the
Fiak vein. -.
Fourteen men were working in the
Sleepy Hollow, three of whom es
caped. . ,:i
A courier was sent to the adjacent
mines, and all their workmen escaped.
Those in the Sleepy Hollow, whose es
cape was shut off, were:
N. Vegas, B. Brocken, Brower P.
Risk, William P. Risk, Thomas House,
Thomas Williams, M. Placoni,
Thomas Calbis, J. Harris, S. . Valero,
John Parks.
The sounding of the whistlo gave
the first signal of the disaster, and '
soon the shaft building of the Sleepy
Hollow mine was so packed with the
families and friends of the imprisoned
miners and those anxious to render as.
sistance that it was almost impossible
for the work of attempting a' rescue to
proceed.
Deputy Sheriff Williams finally ar
rived on the grounds, the bnilding was
cleared, and practical miners offered
their services in lowering the bucket.
The greatest depth attained was 830
feet The accumulated gas forced up
by the rising waters was such that a
candle would not bum at a greater
depth. '
A second effort was then made, a
large sized safety-lamp having been
placed in the bucket Tho rescuer who
first descended, H. P. Risk, was found
at the 330-foot level. On reaching tho
surface he was almost in an insensible
condition. Other volunteers went
down afterward, but were not success
ful in reaching a lower point in the
shaft, owing to the rising of the water.
Extra water buckets were sent for
and brought to the mine, which aro
now working with a view to lowering
the water. The managers of the prop
erties were on the ground, and were
very assiduous in their efforts to relieve
the men. The two - in the Americua
are without doubt dead. Those in the
Sleepy Hollow, unless they can be
found in the slopes, have met death in
a similar manner.
Ever since the closing down of the
pnmps of the incline shaft of the new
Gregory Mining Company, the water
in that shaft has been rising gradually
and the owners of the Fisk mine have
been driven out of the lower to the
upper workings. .This was due to the
inability of the owners of the Fisk and
Sleepy Hollow mines to agree on a
plan to pro-rate the drainage.
.After the Tobaeeo Trust.
New York, August 81. Attorney
General Theodore Hancock is prepar
ing to bring suit against the American
Tobacco Company to annul its certifi
cate to do busines in this state. The
preliminary step . was taken today,
when the officers were, served wth a
summons to appear Saturday to answer
to the complaint that they are doing
business in violation of the statutes.
The petitioner, Charles W. Wheelman,
is a jobber of Syracuse. He asks the
state to perpetually enjoin the trust
from making and selling paper cigar
ettes. He alleges that notwithstand
ing the law of New Tork forbids the or
ganization of such a company ia this
state, the trust organized under the
laws of New Jersey, has come into
New York and is doing business and
enjoying privileges which are denied
to home corporations. The petition
was prepared under direction ot the attorney-general,
who is prepared to
prosecute the trust and expects to drive
it out of the state.
- That Mint Scandal.
Carson, Nev., August 81. Today
Judge Hawley heard the contempt pro
ceedings against H. A. Lemmon and
H. G. Dnnn, publishers of the Tribune,
for publishing an article headed "The
Third Act," bearing on the mint trou
bles. The article said that in the
opinion of the editors the mint investi
gation as carried on was a farce and
persecution, and bad been instituted
by officials in Washington for persecu
tion. Marshal Humphreys took excep
tion to the article and made affidavit
to Judge Hawley that the article was
contemptuous, false, etc., and was in
tended to retard justice. The detenu- -ants
filed a demurrer, - which was over
ruled by the judge. Editor Lemmon,
who admitted the authorship of the ar
ticle, was sentenced to pay a fine ot $50
and ten days in jail.
