mortgage bonds, amounting to $154,700,
and the' Utah and Southern extension

WAITB NOT Gil LTV.
Th Evidence Did Not Show Any Con,
pinny on Hi. Fart.
Denver, September 1. Governor
Waite was a witness to-day before
United States Commissioner Hinsdale
in the case against himself, President
Mullins of the Police Board, Chief of
Police Armstrong and Police Matron
Dwyer for withholding from ex-Matron
Likens a letter for her. Waite denied
the conspiracy absolutely. The letter,
he said, was given him to read. After
reading it he handed it back, and con
sldered It of little Importance. He op
posed the removal of Mrs. Likens, and
never gave Mrs. Dwyer any encourage
ment io expect ine piace.
Mrs. Dr. Iove. a friend of Mrs. Likens
testified that the Governor told her the
removal was made because of a letter
compromising Mrs. Likens. The Gov,
ernor gave her a letter to Armstrong,
requesting him to let her see the letter,
Armstrong sent her to Mullins, who
would not let her see the letter.

and life-long friend of Mrs. Likens,

against Airs. Likens were strong, imt re
fused to show them. This closed the
testimony. The Commissioner denied
the motion to dismiss the case for want
of iurisdiction. District Attorney John
son in a speecn ueciareu niuuine anu
Mrs. Dwyer were the leading conspira
tors, but that Governor Waite and Chief
Armstrong in allowing themselves to be
used to carry out the conspiracy were
equally guilty. Governor Waite spoke
briefly in ins own Doiiaii. lie oemea tne
imputation that he had said Mrs. Likens
was a disreputable person. Said the
Governor:
' If I have been guilty of embezzle-
Iment or conspiracy, or any crime, I do
not ask any favors. In my judgment
there Is no evidence to snow any guilt.
If the court rinds from the testimony
that there is gnilt. I expect it to do its
duty, and I know that it will."
The Governor while delivering this
sentence walked ud and down in an ex
cited manner, and delivered his words
with dramatic ettect. At the conclusion
of the arguments Commissioner Hins
dale discharged Waite, and held the
other defendants to the United States
grand jury in the sum of (600 each. The
Commissioner Baid Matron Dwyer had a
right to open the envelope, but when
she found the letter inside was addressed
to Mrs. Likens she should have delivered
it to her. The conspiracy among the de
fendants to injure Mrs. Likens had not
been clearly shown, but withholding the
letter was a clear violation of the law.
The evidence, however, failed to show
the Governor had anything to do with
detaining the letter,

NORTH DAKOTA WHEAT.
This Year'. Crop Estimated at Twelve
Bushels to the Acre.
Fahoo, N. D., September 3. Concern,
ing the North Dakoka wheat yield sworn
official returns from fifty towns in Cass
county show a decrease in the acreage of
about 10 per cent, and in many of the
counties it is greater. In a few instances
there is a large yield, from fifteen to
thirty Dusneis, out in most cases it is
ten to fifteen, in many six to ten and in
some cases a pure failure. The Dest
judges estimate a failure of about 5 per
cent in six nea iviver vaney counties,
while in the western half of the state
there is less than one-third of a crop.
The whole yield of the State is placed at
not above Z0,uuu,uuu,uuu Dusneis or aDout
and much better than last year in the
Red River Valley counties, but not in
the State as a whole. The conditions

THE VANDERBILTS
Skeleton in the Family Closet
Makes Its Appearance.
ERRATIC CONDUCT OF W. K.
It I. Said That the Former Southern
Heauty Ha. llegun an Action for Di
vorce From William K. Vanderbllt
III. Girt to Nellie Neu.tretter.
New Yobk, September 1 The state
ment in a morning paper that Mrs. W.
K. Vandurbilt was about to begin separa
tion proceedings has not, it is alleged,
created surprise in circles where the re
lations of the pair have been, known.
That they have not lived harmoniously
for the past two years has been the gos
Id of fashionable circles for some time,
The crisis in their atlairs, according to
the Commercial Advertiser of to-day,
was reached immediately after the run
ning of the Grand Prix de Paris June 17
of this year, ihe paper further says
" Mr. Vandurbilt won 40.000 francs on
the race, and almost immediately after
receiving his winnings he was introduced
to a woman well known for her beauty
and numerous following among the lights
in swelldom. This person was Nellie
Neustretter. She fascinated the million,
aire, and as an evidence of his apprecl
ation of her company he gave her the
w,uw irancs so openly mat several
friends saw the unusual occurrence and
remonstrated with him. The story of
how he fitted up a maenincent establish
ment for her in Paris and subsequently
gave tier a residence at Deanville, with
servants and every luxury she desired,
is true. It shocked and surprised the
many residents of Paris, but Mr. Van
derbilt was so open in his attention as
to puzzle everybody. Une ot the most
startling things he did was to allow the
servants of Nellie Neustretter to wear
the same livery as worn by Mrs. Van
derbilt's servants. This was commented
upon by thoBe who saw her and her
equipage in Paris and Deanville."
The Vanderbilts, according to an aftor
noon paper, have lived apart since early
last sprinir. Mrs. Vanderbilt has passed
the summer in England at an estate on
the Thames near London, which had
been rented to her, while Mr. Vander
bilt has passed his time in Paris. It is
alleged that when some time ago a tenta
tive agreement of separation was reached
Mr. Vanderbilt agreed to Bettle upon his
wife $10,000,000.
When the news of the sift of 40.000
francs to Nellie Neustretter reached Mrs.
Vandurbilt she communicated with her
friends in America, and set about to pro
cure a divorce. Cornelius Vanderbilt
went over to Paris hastily to patch up
matters, and the story is that he met
W. K., his brother, with whom he has
influence, and hearing his story, secured
from him a promise not to make the de
tails of hiB differences with his wife pub
lic. Cornelius bIbo saw Mrs. Vanderbilt,
and heard her story. He made every ef
fort to bring about a reconciliation, but
failed, except the stopping of divorce
Sroceedings. It was at this time that
Irs. Vanderbilt began to suffer from
nervous prostration. During her Illness
it is understood she changed her mind
about the courts, and was willing to do
anything to avoid the publicity that
must follow a suit for divorce. Colonel
and Mrs. William Jay, botli friends of
Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, then
went over, and they are now trying to
effect a reconciliation and save the pub
licity 01 a scandal, but are not meeting
with exceptional success. Mrs. vander
bilt has made propositions to her has
band to provide her and her children
with an income and the use of their
town house at Fifth avenue and Forty
second street and the Islip house. The
marble mansion at Newport is hers and
her name. That William K. Vander
bilt gave her outright. It is the iinpres
sion abroad that Mrs. Vanderbilt will
not seek a divorce. Cornelius Vander,
bilt has, it is said, a promise from W. K,
that he will not attempt proceedings of
that nature in his own behalf.
The Paris correspondent of a morning
paper says :
" Nellie Neustretter is one of the most
notorious women of the upper class of
her kind in Paris. She is said to be one
of the handsomest women in Paris, and
has been for some time one of the gay,
est. Who introduced her to Vanderbilt
I do not exactly know. I have heard,
but that does not matter. There has for
several years been more or less talk in
society here and at Newport concerning
both Mrs. and Mr. Vanderbilt. He has
been fond of yachting and pleasure gen
erally, and naturally would excite com
ment on account of his great wealth and
habit ot traveling Irom place to place,
sometimes with and often without Mrs.
Vanderbilt Mrs. Vanderbilt is fond of
society, and ie greatly admired by women
as well as men. She found pleasure in
entertaining and at times in travel. Gos
sip did not amount to anything, how
ever, until two years ago, when it was
reported at Newport that Mr, Vander
bilt had decided to leave America and
reside abroad away from Mrs. Vander
bilt. A-t that time a friend of Mr. Van
derbilt in explaining his determination
said Mrs. Vanderbilt was too exacting,
and that she demanded too much of
him and did not care to create a scandal
if they could not agree. How the matter
was patched up I cannot say. Colonel
William Jay and Mrs. Jay are depended
noon bv the Vanderbilt familv to make
amicable arrangements. The intimate
friends of the Vanderbilts are looking
for successful results from the good of
fices of the Javs. I think eventually
they will be brought to view the matter
in the proper light and aeree to a rec
onciliation. Of course, it mav be some
time before this end is reached, but I
think both even now wish tliev had es
caped the publicity earned thus far."
WANT THE FLAG HONORED.
Section of the French-Canadian Pres.
Makr. a Protest.
Montbial, September 2. A section of
the French-Canadian press is indignant
at what they call an outrage on the part
of the authorities who have charge of
the provincial exhibit at Ouebec. The
difficulty lies in the fact that the French
nag is not given official recognition. The
ratne says:
" We ask all the exhibitors to exact
that the tricolor flag be made to float
;"thV"exhibiti buiidg, and "to
withdraw rather than abide by the die-
tates of a pedantic castor who is ashamed
f i fi l
of being a Frenchman. Iet there be no
exhibition rather than allow France to
be insulted. Therefore, if there is then
a fiasco, the people of Quebec will know
whom to blame."

THE SALMON HUN.
In Alaska It Will Nearly Equal That of
Last Year.
Bam FaANcifico, September 2, The
bark Harvester, which has arrived from
Karluk, brought the latest news of the
Alaska salmon run, and considering the
lateness of the season this year, the re
turns are very good for the combine,
Last year the catch resulted in about
000,000 cases, and this year's run will
amount to very near the same. The re.
turn, it Is said, will have the effect of
making the market stable, if there I. no
heavy demand from Kngland. In the
latter event the price of salmon will ad
vance according to demand. A gentle
man, who is tariteiv interested and thor
ouizhly posted on the situation, said to,
dav : 1
" ine Angiisn market bought very
sparingly of us last year on account of
the largeness of the. British Columbia
catch, but tins year several Knglish buy
ers have placed heavy orders on this
market. From reports received from
Alaska the run has been light in some
places, but has averaged up well at
other points. In Southwestern Alaska
there lias been a shortage, but this is
not 01 so much consequence, as the
greater portion of the output there is the
pink or cheap varieties of salmon. At
karluk. 1 understand, the catch has been
very good. The winter there extended
very late into the spring months, so that
ine season was a snort one.
"The loss of time was made un. how
ever, by excess of work, and the canner
ies were run at their fullest capacity,
The run has ceased, and the season has
closed. Nearly 600,000 cases have been
put up bv the canneries of the combine.
Nearly all this lot has been placed, and
not a little of it is already out of second
hands. The market this year opened at
95 cents a dozen, which was 5 cents
lower than last year's openintr price.
This was a month ago, and it was only a
little while before the price advanced' to
itfM cents and finally to $1.
" Outside the combine there are sev
eral independent canneries, among them
lieing those of the Pacific Steam Wlial
ina Company. Wheaton. Breen & Co-
James Madison and others. Their full
catch is not known yet, but there is lit
tle doubt it has been fairly successful.
it win prooauiy amount in all to iuu,uuu
cases. Some of this nearly all, in fact
has been placed. The British Colum
bia cau'ii lias not been up to the average
this year, and is at loast 25 per cent off.
This failure makes the outlook for Alaska
salmon much brighter, as the possibili
ties are greatly increased for considera
bly more of it finding its way to the
bngiisli market,"

Washington, September 2. Repre

It is further provided that where any

rior Court to recover $50,000 damages
from his former friend, Paul Latzke, for
the alleged alienation of the affections of
his wife, Flora Louise Mackaye. Latzke
was arrested to-day on an order issued
by Judge McAdam of the Superior Court
at the instance of Charles Bate. Bail
was fixed at $2,000, which was furnished.
This is the second wife of Mackaye, who
is under 30 year of Hge. His first wife
was Maud Aimer, the only daughter oi
Joaquin Miller. Maud used to stay at
the house of Steele Mackaye while she
was in the citv. One dav young Mack
aye and she ran off. and were married.
bhe had just come from the convent of
the Sacred Heart at Montreal, where
she was educated. She was given the
impression that young Mackaye, who
was a 1 rotestant, had not been baptized.
When she learned to the contrary, she
wrote Manager Preston asking if the
marriage was valid. He Baid it was not.
This letter caused much comment at the
time. The young woman left Mackaye
soon after the marriage on learning this.
The marriage occurred February 4, 1888.
January 6, 1880, she married Louden
Mccormick, an actor and theatrical
manager of Chicago, without a divorce
from Mackaye. Mackaye subsequently
secured a divorce from her in this city
because of her relations with McCor-
mick.
McCormick deserted the poet's
daughter in 1880.
SCOTCH COAL MINERS.
Ballot Show. Them in Favor of Accept
ing a Redaction.
Glahoow, September 3. The result of
a ballot among the Scotch coal miners
on the question, involved in tbepret
j strike was announced to-day. The bal-
. loting shows 25,417 miners in favor of
,., , . . , .
the proposal of the Miners' Federation
to accept sixpence reduction, witb guar
anteed wages on that basis for two
years, and 20,942 in favor of insisting
upon a shilling advance in wages. The
mine owners declare that the balloting,
which shows a majority in favor of ac
cepting a reduction of sixpence, does
not by any means put an end to the
strike, for the reason that it will be im
possible for them to guarantee even a
minimum rate of wages for a period of
two years. The owners assert that this
cannot be done, inasmuch as most of
'their annual contracts hay been can
I celed by their subscribers.

Not Satisfied With the Awards.
San Fbancibco, September 2. Jose
Ferrando, Commissioner-General for
Spain at the late Midwinter Fair, has
written a letter to the committe on
awards notifying them that he refuses
to accept any of the awards bestowed
nnon exhibitors of the Spanish section.
The action is based upon a decision over
turning the verdict of the jury on wines,
reducing the percentage of credits of the
Spanish wine exhibitors and striking
from the list altogether certain awards
that bad been made.

Pa bis, September 3. The Governor

CROPS IN THE POTLATCH.
Wheat, Flax and Fruit Yield Astonish
ing Return.,
Kindbick, Idaho, September 3. The
farmers of the Potlatch country are in
the midst of their harvest. Fully half
the grain is cut, and the yield for what
has been threshed is above the average.
W. P. Edmonson of Big Potlatch ridge
cut fifty acres with an average of sixty
bushels per acre. Another man went
above the standard by an average of
forty-seven bushels per acre, though it
is apparent that thirty bushels per acre
would be a fair average estimate. There
is more flax sowed this year than usual,
all contracted at $1 per bushel. There
will be shipped 50,000 bushels from this
place in the near future. Should the
price of wheat rise to 60 cents, the Pot
latch country would ha in Ann mnillfinn
after disposing of the surnlos product
There is no doubt but that witb the
opening of the Indian reservation there
will be an influx of men and money that
win materially alter tne phase ot a
nancial matters in this region. Great
dependence has been put upon the fruit
crop this year, and so far the yield and
sale have been very large. The varieties
which are yet to market are of more
substantial and staple character, and no
uouut will add greatly to the resources

ONLY FIFTY PER- CENT.
The Rate, of Flour on the China Line
Thermometrleally Elevated.
San Fbancibco, September 1. Flour
ing men are angry over the 50 per cent
raise in the rates of flour on the China
line. A shipping man in discussing the
matter said : " The Pacific Mail and the
Occidental and Oriental Companies had
to follow the raise of the Canadian and
Northern Pacific Companies." This
statement may seem strange on its face,
but an explanation of it is readily of
fered. In the first place the low rate of
freight on flour was the result of the
Canadian Pacific's fight against local
companies, the latter being obliged to
meet every cut This the companies did
to protect themselves, and for nearly two
years the rate has been $4 a ton. Now
they have raised the rate to protect Cal
ifornia shippers. Had they not followed
the raise of the Canadian and Northern
Pacific, the Oregon shippers would have
sent their goods to San Francisco and
shipped them over the Pacific Mail and
Uccidental lines, shutting out the Call-
forma shippers. The Northern Pacific
will be the Bret line on which the rate
will go into effect, for a steamer will
leave Tacoma before the Belgic sails from
can rrancisco.
INDIANS IN IDAHO.
Trouble With a Marauding Band From
Fort Hall Reservation.
Boibb City, Idaho, September 1.
Word has reached here that serious
trouble is brewing in Owyhee county
with some marauding Indians from the
Fort Hall reservation. District Attor
ney C. M. Hayes received notice from
Mr. Johnson, game warden of the coun
ty, that Indians to the number of 100 or
more were camped In the vicinity of
Bruneau and were killing deer and game
oi an Kinus in a most wanton manner.
Johnson was instructed to go at once to
the scene of action and warn the Indians
to desist The agent at Fort Hall was
also notified bv (Secretary of State Cur
tis, and he is now en route for Owvhee,
When Johnson saw the Indians they
acted in such a threatening manner that
he left hastily. He reported that the
Indians killed a uulnaman yesterday.
Settlers are becoming alarmed. Secre
tary Curtis, in the absence of Governor
AicUonneii, is making an investigation
oi tne matter.
FARMERS ARE BENEFITED.
Saving to Them by Having Their Grain
Bag. Imported Free.
San Fbancibco, September 1. It Is
estimated that free grain bags will mean
a saving of $375,000 a year to California
farmers. The new tariff, however, went
into effect too late to make much saving
this year. The annual demand for grain
sacks is about 32,000,000, of which Cali
fornia uses 24,000.000. The importation
is about 20,000,000, and of the remaining
0,000,000 4,000,000 have been produced
at the San Ouentin prison and 2.000.000
at the California jute niillB. The latter
have now closed down, and it is claimed
that its plant, valued at $250,000, has
been rendered useless by the free i in por
tation of bags. The average duty has
been 1.55 cents a bag, and this will now
be saved to the farmer. Since the en
actment of the new law the price of bags
has dropped irom u cents to 04 cents,
Complaint From Zimmerman.
Pa bib, September 1. The Nancy bi
cycle prize, 3,000 meters, was won at the
Buffalo Velodrome this evening by Har
ris. Banker was second. Zimmerman,
the American champion, tried to beat
Tyler's record lor a mile with a flying
start, but tailed. His time was i min
utes and 15 4-5 seconds. Forman won
the fifteen-kilometer race, as Zimmer
man refused to ride. The American
champion said that the timekeeper was
doing his work dishonestly, and that no
fair awards could be expected until be
was dismissed. In a subsequent inter
view Zimmerman said he believed that
the timekeeper had been bribed to take
the time improperly. The crowd was
greatly disappointed by Zimmerman's
laiiure to contest the race, and whistled
and called for thirty or forty minutes.
hventuallv Zimmerman came out. and
tried a mile anainst time. He did it in
2 minutes and 8 1-6 seconds.
Gladstone's Contribution.
Dublin, September 3. Mr. Gladstone
through Baron Tweedmouth sent the
Irish Parliamentary fund recently a
check for 100, and expressed his wishes
for the success of the Irish cause. The
Baron also sent 100 to the fund. The
Herald (Parnellite), commenting on
these donations, says: "This is the
price of their treachery to Ireland.
Neither Keough nor Sadlier would have
sold himself so cheaply."
