CONSTERNATION IN CAMP. Ex.Mrinister TuompsoN CALLED To SEE THE PResIDENT. The visit of HEx-Minister J. W. E. Thompson to the exe cu‘ive mansion last week has caused a great deal of comment and no litde exciiement 1 the colored democratic camp, in view of the fact that the President bad issued av order that he would o-- ly see such persons he would send for. What Mr. Thompson’s business at the Wuite House was is a ques tion of conjecture. ———— BUSINESS EVRY TIME.

GORED BY A BULL. Three Men Seriously Injured In the Streets of Philadelphia. PHILADELPHA, May 17.—A la-ge ke furiated by the attack ofadogand mark, ing under the blows of a mob of nnreason- able men, seriously injured two old men whose age prevented them from getting out of the way of the vexed animal, whose presence in the streets is still unaccounted for. A small dog, urged on by some dock loungers, made a vicious attack upon the animal's rear legs, and, tormented by the dog’s actions, which it could not repel, the maddened animal dashed up Callowhill street. William Burns, aged 60, of 418 Spruce street, was crossing and was knocked down by the animal in its flight and was seriously injured by one of the bull’s hoofs, which struck him on his head. The bull then turned up Front street, and James Hines, of 515 Vine street, was at- tacked and thrown to the pavement. The animal continued on its mad career, made more furious by the attacks of a mob of men who followed and pelted it with stones and other missiles. At Button- wood and New Market streets the bull collided with Benjamin Myers, aged 72, of 110 Brown street, who was tossed in the air and dashed against a telegraph pole. At York road and Buttonwood street the ani- mal was driven into the stable of William Donahue, where it was confined in a box Concerted Action Wanted on the Various Subjects of the Legislative Scheme. The Chinese Exclusion Act—Prospective Removals of Department Officials. WASHINGTON, May 15.—The policy of the next congress is now the subject of general comment here. The Democratic leaders and the administration are trying to come to an understanding as to a policy by which they can avoid the danger of a split in the party on the money question and secure united action on several im- portant questions which will present them- selves. It is believed by those who have been most active in the matter that an agreement will be reached on the money question. In fact the programme of the congress has been laid out with consider- able detail, and the belief is entertained that the administration and congress will dwell together in harmony. It is settled so that Mr. Cleveland himself does not ex- stall. Its owner is not known. RICH GOLD FIND. An Oregon Mine That Is Richer Than the Famous White Swan. Baker City, Or., May 15.—One of the richest gold strikes ever made in this sec- tion of the country, not excepting the famous White Swan mine, which is yield- ing $1,000 per day with a ten stamp mill, has been discovered. The lucky finders are James and Samuel Baisley. The latter was one of the discoverers of the White Swan. The new find is situated about three miles south of the White Swan. Over $1,000 in gold was pounded out Thurs- day ina hand mortar. The ledge in which this pocket has been found has been found has been uncovered 160 feet and proves to be a pay chute for that distance, and varies in width from 2 to 10 feet. There is enough ore in sight to make the owners an immense fortune. The city is pect any change of purpose that the extra session of congress will be called for the middle of September. It is the present understanding that the compromise proposition to dispose of the silver question by accompanying the re- peal of the Sherman law with the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank cur- rency will receive the sanction of the ad- ministration, and that the men in Con- gress who are fighting against any con- traction of the currency will be satisfied to let go of silver if they can get the state currency. ‘There are said to be four things which itis the desire of the party leaders that the coming congress should dispose of as speedily as possible, and it is believed that Mr. Cleveland will dwell upon all of them in hts first message, They are the repeal of the federal elec- tion laws, the levy of an income tax, the repeal of the Sherman law and of the tax on atate bank currency and a complete revision of the tariff, making a very de cided reduction of duties all along the line. ‘The Chinese Exclusion Act. WASHINGTON, May 1.—Now that the Chinese exclusion law has been declared constitutional, the government finds that it hardly knows “where it is at.” The expense of enforcing the law is enormous, and no money is available for this pur- pose. It is even to be doubted whether congress would vote an appropriation if it were in session. The effects of the deci- sion are far reaching and may involve the complete severance of our diplomatic and commercial relations with the Chinese em- re. : This means that the Chinese minister at Washington will present his letters of re- call to the president and close up the lega- tion in this city. Then the American min- ister at Peking will be politely requested to withdraw from China and will be fur- nished with passports for himself and as- sistants. The next step will be tosend Amer- ican citizens of all classes, merchants, mis- sionaries, etc., out of the celestial country, accompanied by an imperial decree closing : all Chinese ports to citizens of the United } States, including even tourists. While these may be extreme views on the subject, it is nevertheless true that the cabinet is discussing the question in all its bearings. The fact that the naval officials are con- siderine ‘ne question of reorganizing the American squadron in Chinese waters looks suggestive. Vice Consul General to Paris. WASHINGTON, May 15.—The interesting announcement comes from Indianapolis that Mr. Samuel E. Morss, the new consul general to Paris, has appointed Mr. Clyde Shropshire of Georgia, vice consul general in place of Mr. R. M. Hooper, who has been connected with the office ever since the war. The determination of Mr. Morss in this matter was awaited with some anx- iety by those interested. A considerable pressure was brought to have Mr. Hooper retained, and on the other hand there was aformidable movement to secure a new man. Mr. Shropshire is said to be eminently well qualified for the position, having been a practicing lawyer in Paris for several years and therefore acquainted with the language and business of the country. Louisiana Land Contest Decided. ‘WASHINGTON, May 16.—Secretary Hoke Smith has approved to the list number 45 of swamp and overflowed lands embracing in-the aggregate 48,479 acres. These lands lie within the Hournas grant and north of the McDonogh and Fontenot grant as established by the survey of May 12 and June 6, 1892, and were formerly in contro- versy between the state of Louisiana, claiming under the swamp land grant of 1849 and by the cities of Baltimore and New Orleans claiming under the will of John McDonogh, whose title was derived from a French grant made to Delille Dupard April 3, 1769. greatly excited over the find and people are constantly leaving to be on the ground and stake off claims. A sample of one Piece weighing 10 pounds and containing over $100 in gold has been placed on exhi- bition at the National bank and has been viewed by hundreds of people. All say it is the greatest find ever made in the north- west, and from all indications the mother lode of the Virtue and White Swan dis- trict has been found. MINISTER RISLEY’S SUIT. It Is Claimed He Received Fees Which He Did Not Account For. New York, May 17.—John E. Risley, the newly appointed minister to Denmark,was made the defendant in a suit for an ac- counting of his fees as joint counsel with the late Senator Joseph E. McDonald. A bill in equity has been filed with the United States court asking for the appointment of a receiver for Risley’s property pending an examination of the accounts of McDonald & Risley as attorneys in Alabama claims, footing up several millions of dollars. The petition asks the court for a writ re- straining Risley from departing out of its jurisdiction. The case grows out of the partnership of Risley and McDonald in the collection of claims awarded by the Ala- bama commission. It is claimed that Ris- ley received a large amount in fees for which he has thus far failed to account, and that McDonald received but 26,000 of these fees although entitled to a much larger amount. DYNAMITERS IN PARIS. French Capital Threatened by the Anarchistic Class. Paris, May 17.—The police found several bombs, many pounds of dynamite and a chest of burglar tools buried in a lot sur- rounding a shed in the suburb of Leval- lois. The bombs were more powerful than those before seen in Paris. Each consisted of an old can formerly used for preserving peas, still bearing the lable, a glass tube filled with acid, and a packing around the tube of giant powder and small pieces of iron. Any one bomb is powerful enough to blow up a house or to wound scores of persons if it was exploded in the street. The police do not feel certain whether or not the bombs and dynamite were buried by anarchists or the burglars who own the chest of tools. They have arrested Bondon, owner of the property on which the tools and explosives were found, and several an- archists upon suspicion. The The Church of England Threatened. Lonpox, May 17.—The Archbishop of Canterbury officiated at the choral sacra- ment in St. Paul’sCathedral. The specta- cle was one of remarkable splendor and impressiveness, as a strikingly gorgeous procession of bishops and deans and other clergymen, members of the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury, in the robes of their sacred offices, traversed the nave of the cathedral chanting the words of the service, which was intended as in- troductory to the great meeting of English Churchmen in Albert hall to protest against the Welsh suspensory bill as threatening the existence of the Estab- lished church. Baltimore Firm Burned Out. BALtrMore, May 17.—The establishment of O. F. Day, Son & Co. at 32 West Balti- more street was completely gytted by fire. A large stock of trunks, satchels, harness, ete., was destroyed. The fire originated in the cellar and within 10 minutes flames were pouring from the windows of all five stories of the building. Many of the em- ployes had narrow escapes. Ten minutes time was lost by the firemen cutting through a mass of overhead wires before a ladder could be raised. Loss on stock and building over $100,000; insurance, $70,000. no 9 om
