The Herald LOS ANGELES: TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1893. AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL. Cleveland's Check to Offlce- Seekers Discussed. The Politicians Do Not Seem to Relish It. St. Louis Banks Come to the Rescue of the Treasury. Hoke Smith Inveatlgatlng tha Letting: of Yellowstone Park Privileges—A Mexican Land Grant Decision. By the Associated Prew.l Washington, May 8. —The president's order closing the White House to office seekers formed the chief topic of conver sation among politicians today. The expressions in regard to it are varied in character, according to the condition of the speaker. Senators and representa tives with large and active constituen cies are inclined to favor it, as they are relieved of a great deal of pressure from their importuning followers. The poli ticiane say the order'will have the effect of making a close corporation of the patronage system, and the president will be debarred from bearing the voice of the people of the fitness of candi dates. In opposition to these opinions it is urged tbat the president has borne with patience the personal solicitations of the people for two months; that as a matter of fact tbe personal presence of applicants is seldom necessary. It is ursed that the denial of personal interviews does not cut off tbe right of citizens to make en dorsements or put forward candidates. It is stated on the best of au hority that the order of the presidont was decided upon at the cabinet meeting last Friday. The president said he now had more important business which demanded attention than he had during the entire four years of his former administration. To these matters he had no time to de vote himself, on acconnt of crowds of men continually demanding hie time to opportune him for positions. The time fur hnman endurance had come to an end, and something had to be done. THE GOLD SITUATION. Little Change Noted—St. Louis Ranks to the Keacne. Washington, May 8. —The gold situa tion remains abont tbe same and gives little or no concern to the officials of the iure conn»ence in the ability of the ad ministration to handle the question without alarm to the country or detri ment to the public credit of the United States. Secretary Carlisle is quoted as saying the situation is entirely satifactory ; that he had assurances tbe New York banks would aid tbe de partment if the necessity aroee, but he did not believe such action would be necessar,. St. Louis, May B.—The Bt. Louis banks bave come to the aid of the United States treasury and tomorrow ovor $200, --000 000 in gold will be handed to the sub-treasury in exchange for treasury and national bank notes. A Land Grant Decision. Washington, May B.—ln the case of Tumacono, a Mexican grant within the Gadsden purchase in Arizona, the secre tary of the interior decided that the 80th section of the act of July 22, 1854, ap plied to Mexican and Spanish land grants in Arizona and lands to the ex tent of claims made before surveyors general, those territories were placed by the law in reservation un til the final act of congress con firming or rejecting the claims. Final action, however, is now delegated to the court of, private land claims, conse quently the reservation will continue until final action by the conrt. This de cision reverses that of the commissioner and forbids him to open lands claimed by grantees, to settlement. Yellowstone Park Privileges. nA»m»BTO», iviay o, —secretary Hoke Smith today gave a hearing to all par ties interested in tbe hotel and trans portation privileges in the Yellowstone national park. The most important question m.der discussion was the cus tom of the Northern Pacific Railroad company to issue tickets bearing cou pone, good only at certain specified hotels and on one transportation line, thereby giving them a monopoly of the railroad business Ttiese and st-verai O'her questions bave given rise to many complications, which Secretary Smirh desires to adjust at once; hence bis no tice to all interested parties to appear today It ie understood that his decis ion, covering the whole matter, will soon be reached. The Territorial Junket. Washington, May B.—Senator Faulk ncr, chairman of the committee on terri tories, has selected, in addition to him self, Senators Hill, Piatt, Bute and Davis as a subcommittee) to investigate the condition of the territories now seeking admission to the union.

Ellinwood, Arizona, attor ney for the United States for Arizona. Nat M. Brighton, Utah, United States marshal f r Utah. William K. Mead, Arizona, United States marshal for Arizona. The Nicaragua Revolt. Washington, May B—The disturbed condition of affairs in Nicaragua will probably result in the United States sending a war vessel to tbe west coast of that country. Snch action is being con sidered by Secretary Gresham, but no information has been received at the state department concerning the uprising since Consular Agent Holman wired Secretary Gresham last week that a seri ous revolt had occurred, The Chinese Test Case. Washington. May B.—Reports of the proceedings of tbe federal courts in New York, Saturday, in the Chinese exclu sion cases, were filed today in the su preme court by T. D. Riordan of San Francisco, counsel for tbe Six com panies. A Nevada Man's Plum. Washington, May 8. —In trie depart ment of agriculture today Charles P. Irish of Nevada was appointed agent in charge of the irrigation investigation, at a salary of (2500. BCIBBISBIPPI WHITECAPS. They Plead Onllty and Pathetically Beg the Mercy of the Court. New Oklkans, May B.— A Brookhaven, Miss., spec al Bays: The wliitecaps pleaded guilty and were sentenced to two years in tbe penitentiary. There was a most affecting scene in court. The prisoners broke down completely and wept and begged the judge to show them as much mercy as he could. The wife of one wh'tecapper held a small baby up to the judge and begged him to spare her husband. The judge held the baby a moment and soothed its mother, but could not spare the father. The scene in the court room was most affect ing. AN EMBARRASSED BANK. THE CHICAGO CHEMICAL NATION AL IN DIFFICULTIES. Compelled to Close Doors on Acconnt of Being Refused Assistance by the Clearing Houso Association. * Chicago, May S —Bank Examiner James B. Sturgis will tomorrow morning make an examination into the affairs of the Chemical National bank. The branch of the bank located at theworld's 'air grounds, which hai the excluiive privilege of the banking business at the fair, has been thoroughly secured by the officers and directors of the main office, so none of the depositors in the world's fair branch will suffer. The presidentof the bank is J. O. Curry, who came to Chicago a short time ago from Aurora. The baok was supposed to bo of the soundest financial standing, and gave every appearance of pioficabte business. It was organized five' years ago as the Chemical Trust and Say intri" bank, *n<\ a year ago reorganized as a national bank .....i<-i iiie present title. The trouble was brought abont by the Chemical National applying, through tbe Illinois National bank, which cleared for it, to the clearing house for a loan This was refused on the technicality of the Chemical not being a m-mberof the clearing house. Then the Illinois Na tiocal made an examination into tbe affairs of the Chemical and refused longer to clear for it. After this verdict there was a long conference of bank officials, and at the close word wag sent to the comptroller of the treasury that the bank would not open its doors tomorrow pending a fall and complete examination by the bank examiner. Later in the evening word was re ceived from Washington tb it Bank Ex aminer Sturgis would t>ike charge of the hank tomorrow. The causes leading to the trouble are said to be the accumula tion of paper upon which the bank was nnable to realize eaeily. It is said, however, tbat the securities are ade quate.

Denver, May B.—The Santa Fe this morning announced a cut in strictly Colorado rates, without equal from any point on its Midland branch which can be reached by the Rio Grande. The price for a ticket iB only 25 cents, except Grand Junction, where it would con flict with the Union Pacific The Rio Grande still maintains a rate of $1 to tbe points mentioned.

Welling ton, claiming Boston as his home, left for this city after having eacap.id from a Mexican prison, where he languished 10 years for killing a mnn, investigation shows that the Wellingtons of this city and vicinity know no such person, and the Mexican Central raiiroad, in whose employ the dispatch claimed the man to have been, stated it. bad no record of such person.

Home Rule Debate in the British Commons. Politics Boiling Hot in the Fatherland. Infanta Enlalie Accorded a Splendid at Havana. A Serious State or AlTalra In Southern Brazil—The Czar's Second Son ln Love with a Pretty Telegraph Girl. By tho Associated Press.] London, May B.—ln the honse of commons today Gladstone stated, in reply to Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, that he would propose tnat the ninth clause of the Irish home rule bill fthonld be retained without alteration. This clause provides for the retention of Irish mem bers in the imperial parliament. The speaker ruled the instructions to the committee on the home rule bill offered by Lord Randolph Chnrchill and others, with a view to defeating the bill, out of order. The house then went into committee on the bill. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain moved to postpone clause one of the bill, which simply provides that on and after an appointed day there should be a legisla ture in Ireland. Chamberlain said it was his intention to move the postpone ment ot every clause up to clause nine, in order to begin the discussion of the bill with the most important proposals. The house, ho said, had a right to know whether the government meant to adhere to the main points of the bill; otherwise, the house might at any time find a new bill sprung upon them. Gladstone replied that he declined to, allow Chamberlain to reserve to himself the privilege to challenge clausea out of their order. The bill was before the bonae in a particular- form, and the government alone had a right to in dicate variations from that form. Hon. A. J. Balfour charged Gladstone with concealing Low he designed to ar range the reprepresentation of Irish members at Westminster, nntil he snould find the time more propitious for revealing it. J. W. Lowther and other Unionists continued to talk in a strain similar to fat of their leaders, while the Irish Nationalists cried, "Divide." Lawiher, who is a relative of Lord Sabahury, aocnaed Timotoy Healy of leading organized disorder. Healy replied that the statement was untrue; the disorder was on the other side. Chairman Mellor put an end to the *qnsbble by calling the disputants to orier. Chamberlain's amendment was * re ject-d—2so to 213. Cnarles J. Dai ling. Conservative, pro posed to amer,d clause one by reaffirm ing the supremacy of parliament in local as well as imperial matters. Gladstone opposed the motion for- the reason that the supremacy of parliament was asserted sufficiently in the pream ble. During the debate oh tbe amendment the electric lights went out and the de bate was shortened. After six hours were talked away, Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, moved the closure, which waß cairied by a vote of 243 fo 195. The amendment was lost by a vote of 285 o 233. The monotony of useless motions and divisions was resumed and the sitting drugged uneventful to an adjournment at midnight. _ GERMAN POLITICS. A Permanent Spilt in the Fretfllnnlge Party— Comment. Berlin, May 8. —Tne division of the Freisinnige party has assumed perman ent form. The stronger contingent, under Eugene Richter, will be knowr. henceforth as the Freisinnige Yolks partei and will co-operate with the South German Democrats. The weaker contingent of' tbe party haß assumed the name of the Freisinnige Vereinni gung. A high official in the imperial chancellor's office eaid today lhat the emperor and Yon Caprivi are convinced of the futility of attempting to concili ate the clericals and will accept persist ent opposition from the Center party. As regards both schools and the return of the Jesuits, he said the government would act in complete independence of Clerical influence, not even yielding on the face of another kuliurkampf. / The North German Gazette expresses the belief that the comiug elections will repair the attack on the prestigo of Ger many made by the vote in the reichstag against the army hill. The people will surely recognize that the completion of the defences of the country ia neces sary to its continued existence. The. National Zeitung says the reichs tag just dissolved was the worst parlia ment un i- the foundation of the em pire, and Bhould the electors give in tn the triumvirate composed of Bebel, Richter and Lieher, the ruin of Ger meny would be effected, peace menaced and the achievements of the years IStfti and 1870 ba destroyed.

Both the insurgents and government are claiming, a victory in the battle fought on Saturday, near Uruguayans, in Rio Grand'a do Bul. Vienna, May 8. —Private advices from Brazil indicate that the 'rebellion in Rio Grande do Sul is more serious than the government is willing to admit.

" t New York, May B.—The Herald's Paris cable says : From authentic infor mation it appears that the Pope ia preparing an encyclical to the European governments setting forth the inevitable crisis to which tho military charges condemn them. -He will call the attention of the governments to the necessity of introducing the idea of paci fication into their general policy, as well as the appeasement of the anger of the working classes consequent upon their misery. His holiness will ask for a res olution on the' question of disarmament, probably by the encyclical, which may be the resu't of an agreement, come to in hie interview with the emper ir of Germany. Tho governmenta of Austria, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Russia are said to be already informed of thj agreement referred to end willing to accept it. Rus sia hae mado certain reserves, but it in tends, it ifi believed, to adhere to the general decision, in which case she would be charged with the mission of bringing pressure upon France to induce her to join the other nations.

Thousands Witness the Turningf On of the Electric Lights. The Sunday Closing Question Again Exhaustively Discussed —A British Visitor's Impreaalons of tha Great Fair, Etc. By the Associated Press. Chicago, May B.—The day dawned bright on the white city and the pros pect for a decidedly increased attendance daring the current week, compared with that of last, seems very good indeed. People began to come on the grounds early, and before noon it was evident that tha day's attendance would be quite large. President Higginbotham entertained the visiting naval officera at an elaborate lunch in Recital hall at 11 o'clopk. A magnificent diaplay was witnessed by thousands of visitors at the fair to night, when the whole electric force stored within the grounds waa turned on, making one of the grandest electric al illuminations ever seen in thiß country. Thousands of electric lights gleamed from almoßt every crevice of the exter ior of the administration, agricultural electrical, manufactures and liberal arts buildings. The electric fountains sparkled in myriads of colored lights. The feature of the day in official cir cles of the world's fair waa the effort of Phoebe Couzina to abrogate the action of the board of lady managers in adjourn ing sine die. She appeared before the national commission, but a point of order waa made againat her and she was ordered to present the matter in writ ing. The reports of the committees di rected to inspect the condition of the aeverai departments were received. Most of the committeea asked for fur ther time and others made verbal state ments. Most of the exhibits of the agricultu ral building will be in position the end of this week. The executive committee on awards submitted a report favoring a judge in place of a. jury. Sunday closing waa brought up wbeu Commissioner Hundley of Alabama of fered a resolution that the commission regards the ruJe requiring the gates to be closed on Sunday as binding and the final determination of tho subject, both in law and fact. At the close of an ani mated and prolonged debate matters were bo involved that the resolution was withdrawn, but quiet reigned for a mo ment only as Commissioner Way of Georgia offered a resolution that the commission having passed upon the matter it could not be brought up again. After debate tbis resolution was also withdrawn. Commissioner Forsythe of California complained that domestic wines were not receiving fair treatment on the grounds, particularly California pro ducts, owing to exorbitant prices, and offered a resolution that a committee be appointed to investigate. After debate the resolution waa referred to the com mittee on horticulture. Washington state day, which waa to have been May 17th, has been postponed until some time in June, owing to the unfinished condition of the atate build ing. The city council tonight unanimously passed a resolution declaring for Sun day opening oi the world's fairgrounds, and as_ representatives of $5,000,000 of stock in the exposition, criticises the financial management which closes the gates ono day out of seven. AN BRITISHER'S IMPRESSIONS. now Sir Jamea Lon( Sizes Hp the Cht cago World'a Fair. Toronto, May B.—Sir Jamea Long, proprietor of the Sheffield, England, Tel egraL'h, who visited the world's fair last week with a party of British journalists, has given his impressions of and the prospectß of the fair. He eaid he con sidered the Chicago show the greatest tne world ever held; tbe most extensive, the most costly and architecturally tbe most imposing. It was a question of nionoy, and never before had co mnoh money been contributed for such a pur pose. Tlie buildings are much ahead ol those at Paris ; but he was disappointed at tbe unready Btate of the exhibition. Strangely enough the most backward exhibits wore those which top Ameri cans themselves were making, In his district in_ Sheffield all but two manu facturers had practically boycotted the Chicago fair, on account of the McKin ley act preventing them from sell ing goods in the United States. He approved this action at the time they decided it, but now thought it wae a mistake. Many British mer chants were losing the opportunity of a lifetime for advertising. If it had not been for the McKinley act, England's exhibit at Chicago would have been the best that country ever made. He did not think the exhibition of paintings equal to that at Vienna. He did not think the fair would be a finanolal suc cess. A Pottery Failure. Trenton, N. J"., May 8 —The Ott a Brewer Pottery company, of which ex- Congressman John Hirt Brewer hat been manager, went into the hands of a receiver today on Brewer's applies* tion. The petition filed estimated the liabilities at $137,025, ot whiou $68,243 is in promissory notes. Qnarryuten Strike. BrnDETORD, Me., May B.—Every gran ite quarry here was idle today. The demand of the quarrymen'a union ior a nine hours' day and eight hours Sat urday was not compi v < with by theoon tractora, and a general strike waa or dered.
