to Furnish New Bonds.
THE QUESTION IS SETTLED
The Court at Seattle is the Court of
Primary Jurisdiction Must
Answer the Charges.
Seattle, Sept. 2. By a decision of Judge
Gilbert, concurred in by Judge Hanford,
Receivers Oakes, Payno and Rouse, ot
the Northern Paclttc Railroad, must ap
pear in toe United States court for the
Northern District of Washington, in this
city, October 2, and defend themselves
against the charges of mal-admlnlstratlon
made by Brayton Ives, president of the
Northern Pacific. The opinion of Judge
Gilbert was read in court this morning
and the opinion of Judge Hanford was
filed late in the afternoon.
The receivers are each ordered to file
with this court a bond for $100,000 ma
also a report of their actions from the
time of the last report confirmed by
Judge Jenkins up to the present. It is
held that the acta of tho receivers are not
Invalid, and the $5,000,000 recelvars' cer
tificates are valid Hens as soon as ,on
flnmed by the respective courts.
By the decision the question of juris
diction is settled, and the court hero be
comes the court of primary Jurisdiction,
settling the question of collateral at
tack. The second part of Ives' application will
come up at the hearing of the order to
show cause, and the question of fact as
to whether the receivers have been lax
in their administration of the trust es
tate will be opened.

MAT BE TROUBLE.
McKlnney, of Burns, Says There Is Still
Danger
Pendleton, Or., Sept. 2. C. F MtKIn-
ney, a wealthy lumbermen, is here from
Durns, He has been in tho district from
which the reports came of the trouble
batween nettlnrs and Indians. Speaking
of tho dispatch from Burns, McKlnney
said there is reason to believe that there
is danger of serious trouble between the
residents and Indians, members of the
Umatilla tribes and others, accustomed to
sro Into the mountain hunting grounds In
the summer season and kill deer by the
wholesale, leaving all the carcasses but
the hams to be eaten 'by carrion birds.
Mr. McKlnney thinks authentic reports
of colllsslons may be received at any
time.
lULTJ DYEH SUICIDES.
G.'rl Fourteen Years Old Did Not Want

Portland, Or., Sept. 2. Lulu Dyer, aged
M, committed suicide last night by tak
Ing rough on rats. Tho girl did not want
to go to church with her people, but
asked her mother to go to another church
with a friend. When her mother refus
ed to allow her to. do so, she remained at
home and the rest of the family went
to church. Soon after the folks had gone
the girl took a dose of rough on rats.
When the folks returned the girl was In
a precarious condition. They sent for

IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
The States on the Dve of Revolution.
Chicago, iSept. 2.John Rice Chandler,
correspondent of the Associated Press
In Guatemala, arrived from that coun
try today and was request 3d to make a
full and frank statement of the situation
In Central America, now that he is on
American soil.
Chandler has been In the service of the
United States in Central and South Amer
ica for aeveral years. He says: "There is
a general belief that the Central Ameri
cans are on the eve of revolution. Re
cently this belief has apparently been
backed up by telegraphic reports of gev
erafl Journals In the United States. In
truth, 'four out of five republics are today
apparently quiet. The fifth, Salvador, has
had some riots recently, due to the con-
nlvanses of Ezeta, headed by General,
Antonio Ezeta, Who is now In San Fran
cisco, trying to organize a filibustering
party with American capital In Califor
nia. The other republics are doing their
bent to build up their national credit
and keep turbulent elements In their
places. The country is rich In minerals,
as well as ail tropical products and only
needs energy and capital of Americans to
build up a new Eldorado."
THE SILVER LINING.
A Sensational Tlay Produce! in Chicago.
Sunday Nigbt.
Chicago, Sept. 2. Probably the most
novel production every witnessed In Chi
cago iwaa given last night before a large
audience at the Chicago Opera House.
It was a dramatization of free silver In
politics and Judging by the remarkable
circumstances attending Its first public
performance, the piece may not unllke'y
attract widespread attention.
"The Silver Lining," la the name oi
the play. The theme wu suggested by
Coin's Financial School and Harvey, or
Coin," occupied a proscenium box. The
hissing of tho lines early In the piece,
presumably toy the antl-llver sympathiz
ers, caused no little excitement, which
was Increased when, after the second act
It was evident the piece had made a
hit.
The author, Fitzgerald Murphy, a well
known Boston newspaper man, coining
before the curtain, suddenly turned) to
Harvey and asked him to say whether
the play falth'fuily presented the plrlt
of "Coin's SCh'ool."
Tho audience was on tip toe at the
unusual Incident, and iwhen Harvey, ris
ing In his place among the spectators,
said, "It does, most magnificently," there
was great cheering, mingled with, hisses.
The author denied before the curtain
that the play was being backed by silver
interests. From Chicago It goes West
and South.

ANOTHER DIFFICULTY.
One That May Slave at Be-irlng on the
Northern Pacific Deal.
The following from the Chicago Trlb
une Is another straw which shows the
way the Northern (Pacific wln.l is blow
lng:
A proceeding to cancel the lease held
on the Manitoba system is what J. J.
Hlil seems to fear more than anything
else. It Is becoming common rumor In
ra'lroad circles that such, will be an Im
portant outcome of the negotiations to
consolidate the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads. The Manitoba
ytem Is the best paying portion of the
Great Northern system.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ATiCrxvt
y-r s-J w
A ninety-nine year lease of the Mnnito
by line was ninde to the Groat Northern
line In INN). By Its terms there was a
guaranty to the stockholders anl owners
of bonds. It Is contended that a guaranty
ot several millions of dollars to the Nor
thern Pacific, under a consolidation
scheme, would aftect the Manitoba stock
holders more than other parti of the
Great Northern system, because It would
Impair the ability of Mr. Hill to carry
out the terms of the lease mads with the
Manitoba people namely, to pay the full
rental.
There is a possibility that tho Manitoba
people may Interplead In the Pearsah
suit against the Great Northren, began
in the Unite! States circuit court at St.
Paul. Tne probable course, however, Is
that an Independent action may be com
menced by the Manitoba people to cancel
the lease. If that be trua the suit by
Thomas W. Pearsall, of New York, who
owns general stock 1n the Great North
ern system, will be merely a side Issue In
comparison. In this bill of complaint
inr. erarsall seems to anticipate that I Is
suits, aa he makes an allegation that his
proceeding was begun to secure not only
his rights, but to avoid a multlciDlicitv
of suits.
GOLD EXCITEMENT.
Rish Finds In Old Mines Make the Mar
kets Active.
The excitement and activity in Ban
Francisco over new discoveries in gold
mines has not been equalled In ten years.
Stocks are advancing, and a private let
ter from San Francisco says that six
months' time will see the greatest boom
and highest prices 1n mining stocks in
the "history ef CaMfornla.. 'llhe follow
ing from the San Francisco Report otf the
28th ult. gives some idea Of the situation.
Since which' date the quotations have ad
vance materially.
The Comstock market, which closed so
strong and active yesterday, openad with
increased vitality this morning, and for
a time affairs in and around the Board
rooms were livelier than for many weeks.
The revival extended alonj the line, but,
the same as yesterdayv, the Challenge,
Confidence and other stocks, of tho Gold
Hill' group, received the most attention.
The ore strike In the west crosscut from
the Joint upraise from the surface tun
nel, which the Confidonce and ChaClonge
Consolidated have been running, news of
which was first given in the Report of
Monday, when Confidence stook sold for
$1.0G1.10, and Challenge Con. for 38;i3
cents. Is regarded as Important, but not
enough work has been done to determine
tho extent or value of the new find. The
ore Is said to run high In gold. Superin
tendent Sharon, of these mines, who has
been In this city for several days, will
soon go to the front, and arrange for a
thorough exploration of the ground 1n
which the new dweovery his been made.
Good news continues to coma from the
1750 and 1650 levels of tho Consolidated
California and Virginia mines. On the
1100-foot level of the old Con. Virginia
shaft, in the north 'ateral drift, which
leads to the west crosscut, 333 feet north,
In which the West Consolidated Virginia
Mining Company in conjunction with the
tho Ophlr, Mexican and Andes companies
will soon explora the west country with
a diamond drill, and at a point about
midway between the west crosscut and
the shaft station, an excavation Is now
being nuade preparatory to starting an
upraise, as dascrlbcd In yesterday s re
port. This upraise WK1 be carried up for the
purpose ot exploring the ground above,
In which the West Consolidated reople
say they found, evidence of an ore body
through a cave which occurred some
months f.go. This discovery was m holly
In Con California and Virginia ground,
and the explorations about to begin
will be conducted solely by the Consoli
dated California and Virginia Company.
In proper time a north drift will be run
from tho station on the 1100-foot level of
the old Con. Virginia shaft to connect
with the upyard workings from the 1100
foot level and to open the way for a
thorough exploration of the large area
of unopened ground north of the shaft
between the 500 and 1100 foot levels of the
Con. California and Virginia.
On the Brunswick lode there Is contin
ued activity, and It is expected that the
three Inclined, which the Con. California
and Virginia and Best & (Bedcher, the
Hale & Norcross, and the Chollar ana
Potosl companies are sinking, will be
down a sufficient distance two weeks
hence to permit of extensive drifting and
crosscuttlng in the Brunswick vein prop
er. These Inclines are being sunk in the
foot'wuM, because better progress can be
made.
Small seams of quarts containing py
rites of iron and Indicating a close cp
proach to the Comstock ledjre proper are
bolng cut in the west drift from the
Ward shaft on tho S'JO root level. whltwl
drift the Bullion company Is running.
The Bllver market has been remarka
