Guadalajara, Mex., Nov. 26—B. F. Richardson, a capitalist of Philadel- phia, and C. W. Johnston, a Delaware man, have secured from the Mexican government a -cssion for the re |covery of the gold that still remains in the hull of the Golden Gate, an American ship that was beached on the coast of Colima, a short distance from Mazanillo, in the winter of 1861-2. Mr. Richardson is now in this city. Mr. Johnston recently left San Fran- cisco for the scene of the wreck ae companied by divers and other as- sistants. The Golden Gate was on the way from San Francisco to New York and carried nearly $1,500,000 in gold coin destined for New banks. While head- ing toward Manzanillo fire broke out aboard the vessel and in an attempt to suve the passengers, the ship was run ashore. However, nearly 200 pér- Sons were either burned to death or drowned. Of the amount aboard the Ship between $800,000 and $900,000 was recovered some time later. It is believed that there still exists in the hulk of the vessel at least $500,000 in gold, A PECULIAR SITUATION, cenuinE CASTORIA Atways Bears the Signature of Amerionn Strike Leader in Canada Claims Protection of His Government When Ordered to Leave, Chicago, Noy. 26—The United States government has been asked to furnish protection for a labor leader engaged in conducting a strike in ay ner country, The a came Sun- from Frederick Fay, who is lead- er in the street car strike in Hamilton, Ontario, After the serious riots last Saturday night in Hamilton, in which many persons were injured, the Can- dian authorities ordered to leave that letters J.
