FOSTER ON FINANCE.
Secretary of tire Treasury's
Fiscal Views.
He Does Not Agree Altogether
With Mr. Leech.
Minister Yen Confirms the Rejection
of Minister Blair.
The Latter Does Not Believe the Story
and Continues on His Way to
China—Other Items.
Associated Press Dispatches.
Washington, April 29.—1n a talk with
a reporter, today, about the recent
statement of Mint Director Leech on
finances, Secretary Foster said Leech
was right in the main, although he
(Foster) would have stated it a little
differently. He would say some of the
$250,000,000 01 available cash might be
regarded as trust funds. It would be
correct to say that about $70,000,000 is
unquestionably available cash; that is
money in banks, subsidiary coin, trade
dollar bullion, current cash and silver
against which no certificates have been
issued. As to the $100,000,000 gold held
against greenbacks, the secretary said
the government can and Will use this
gold reserve, if needed in a pinch, as
the notes outstanding are legal tender.
Gold should, therefore, appear in the
debt statement as available cash.
The secretary does not agree with
Leech in the opinion that silver pur
chased under the new act, against
which certificates have been issued, is
available cash. Certificates are against
that and it is in the nature of a trust,
but the profits on silver purchases,
amounting to some $4,000,000, may be
used.
The secretary said he was thinking of
trying to substitute 2 per cents for 4j£s,
as Windom proposed. If it can be done,
there will be two advantages over re
demption. To be able to float 2-per-cents
will demonstrate the extraordinary
soundness of the government credit,
and the money required to redeem 4}*>b
may be used for the purchase of 4s at a
saving of 2 per cent, of interest to be
paid up to the time of maturity.
BLAIR THK KEJECTEB.
He Insists That China Will Receive
Him With Open Arms.
Chicago, April 29.—Ex-Senator Blair,
the new minister to China, arrived here
this morning, and was questioned re
garding the report that the Chinese
government had submitted to the
department of state a formal protest
against his being sent to China. "I
have received no official notice of such
protest," said Mr. Blair. "All that I
know about it is what I have seen in the
newspapers. I may be permitted to
doubt its correctness, for the reason that
the state department knows I am
en route to China, and if it had decided
to recall me, it would have done so
without delay. I shall not stop
here any longer than I originally in
tended, in order to await official infor
mation. If I hear nothing from Wash
ington by tomorrow I shall proceed to
San Francisco, and sail from that point.
Ido not think, of course, that there is
any good reason why China should ob
ject to me. Neither do I believe the
Chinese government thinks so. Dnring
my service in congress, whatever I did I
did from convictions. Whatever I did
in the matter of Chinese immigration,
also received the endorsement of the
government, and the government is re
sponsible, not I personally. It is in
credible that any nation would seek to
enforce personal liability, especially at
this late day."
Washington, April 29. —A represnta
tive of the Associated Press this morning
called at the Chinese legation here and
had an interview with Minister Yea in
regard to the declination of his govern
ment to receive Senator Blair as the ac
credited representative of the United
States. Yen said through an interpreter,
that he had received a cablegram from
the Chinese foreign office which he was
instructed to lay before Secretary
Blame, withoutdelay,expresßing the un
willingness of the emperor to receive
Mr. Blair. Other than this, Yen had
received no instructions, written
or otherwise, from his government
on the subject.
The exact language of the cablegram,
or whether reasons for this action were
given, he failed to state. Personally he
had a very high opinion of Senator Blair.
At the time Senator Blair was nominated
minister to China, Yen was in Peru, to
which government he is also the rep
resentative of China, and did not return
to the United States until early in the
present month. He never had occasion
to ascertain what had been Senator
Blair's attitude toward China or Chi
nese residents in this country, and not
until his return had the senator's utter
ances on the Chinese question, as re
ported in the Congressional record, been
brought to his attention. The minister
conveyed the impression that he simply
stated the facts to his government, and
aside from that had not sought to influ
ence its decision, either favorably to the
senator or unfavorably.
This action of the Chinese authorities
has not created the least excitement
here, as it had been anticipated by many
from the first. The proceeding is not a
very unusual one, and cannot be re
garded as an indication of unfriendly
feeling toward this government.
Among the departmental officers there
is a general indisposition to discuss the
subject ot Blair's rejection, still it is
evident there is no general desire to
magnify the incident into the "propor
tion of a diplomatic rupture. It is a
long established rule of diplomacy that
a nation is not obliged to accept a min
ister who is not a persona grata, and
that his rejection on that account is not
to be construed into an intended affront
to the dignity of the nation which sends
the minister.
Altogether, the opinion in official cir
cles is general that the United States is,
by its own conduct, estopped from re
senting Minister Blair's rejection, and
that after waiting for a time sufficient
to maintain the national dignity, a new
minister will be appointed by President
Harrison.

early as Jnly, 1890, were warned to leave

done so at their own risk, and their re

A SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Two Gentlemen of Color the Principals
In the Melee.
Coppebopolis, April 29.—A shooting
affair occurred this morning at the
Union copper line, between Sam Taylor
and George Mitchell, both colored.
Mitchell was at work, and Taylor came
and told him he was going for a gun to
kill him. Mitchell in the meantime
procured a pistol. Taylor returned
within fifty feet of Mitchell and emptied
one barrel of his gun into Mitchell's
back and elbow. Mitchell fired at Tay
lor, missing him. Taylor then shot his
other barrel, the charge taking effect in
Mitchell's back. Mitchell's chances for
recovery are slight. Taylor was taken
to San Andreas.
A Believer in Indian Troops.
Washington, April 29.—General Scho
field is well pleased with the progress
made in the enlisting of Indians in the
army. He said today: "If we can get
two well drilled and contented troops of
Indians, we shall be doing all we ex
pected at this time. These will be the
cause of many more Indians enlisting,
and I think I can' see the day ahead
when there will be no more difficulty in
getting good soldiers from the Indian
reservation, than there is today in en
listing white men."
American Tin Plate.
New York, April 29.—Representatives
of the chief tin plate manufacturing
firms of the country today perfected an
organization of tin plate manufacturers
of the United States. The object Is to
promote the manufacture of tin plate in
the United States. It was stated that
several mills are already working, and
as soon as others are built they would
produce 60,000 net tons of tin plate per
annum.

THK NATIVE SONS.
Yesterday's Proceedings of the Grand
Parlor at Santa Rosa.
Santa Rosa, Cal., April 29.—The
whole morning session of the grand
parlor of Native Sons was occupied in
consideration of the amendments to the
constitution, introduced at yesterday's
session.
At the afternoon session', the commit
tee on credentials reported J. Cal Ewing
of Oakland parlor No. 60, entitled to a
seat.
The special order exemplifying rituals
was then taken up, and the parlor re
solved itself into a committee of the
whole to listen to the exemplification of
the rituals submitted for consideration.
That of the ritual committee was first
taken up; subsequently, that known as
the Solano ritual. Devlin moved
that the committee of the
whole arise and report back
to the grand parlor that the matter in
relation to the appointment of a ritual
congress be taken up. Devlin offered
an amendment to make the committee
consist of eleven members, and have
rituals submitted referred to said com
mittee or congress. Dockery, Chipman,
Sproule, Greer and Shanahan spoke in
favor of the Solano ritual. Fitzgerald,
Dorn and Degolia opposed the adoption
of either ritual at the present time. A
motion to have a congress of twenty ap
pointed to prepare a ritual prevailed.
Foy, of Los Angeles, read a telegram
from the south, saying that the boys
were wild with joy, and would make the
fifteenth session of the grand parlor the
finest ever held.
Ahem, in a witty manner, made a
presentation speech on behalf of the
south, and re-presented the Sacramento
gavel, which it seems the grand presi
dent had left in the dining-room of the
hotel.
The request of Western Star parlor to
change its name to Santa Rosa, was
granted..
A resolution to the effect that a com
mittee of five be appointed to draft reso
lutions of respect to the memory of
Past Grand Trustee B. A. Sperry, was
adopted.
A resolution in regard to the publish
ing of all matters of interest and de
cision in the official organ, the Golden
West, was adopted.
The nomination and election of grand
officers was made the special order for
tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
Adjourned till 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.
California Canned fruits.
New York, April 29.—The Commer
cial Bulletin, in discussing the an
nounced prices of '91 season pack of
Golden Gate brand of California extra
canned fruits, says:, "Coupled with
prices thus far announced for two other
brands, it would indicate that the Cali
fornians are not alarmed at the present
favorable prospects for large crops all
over the country this year, and the cop
sequent probability of a good pack in
the east. Foreign markets, it is be
lieved, will take good many California
ruits, and the home demand, except
possibly in the east, is not likely to fall
off."
OLD HUTCH MISSING.
The Veteran Grain Gambler Mysteriously
Disappears.
Chicago, April 29.—There was a very
panicky feeling in the grain pits this
morning. July wheat opened at $1.04fc
against at close yesterday. It
advanced to $1.05%, and up to close
fluctuated between that and
Corn was also lower at the opening, fol
lowed by a rally. The break in prices
was caused by the rumors that B. P.
Hutchinson, the veteran speculator,was
in financial trouble, No facts
in evidence were given by those
who talked of the matter, though it was
reported that he had lost heavily on
both wheat and corn, both on the recent
heavy advance and on the subsequent
break. Hutchinson was not to be found
upon the floor of the exchange, and
nothing could be learned as to the real
situation of his affairs.
The early rumors died away, but later
it was said Hutchinson was mysteri
ously missing. Inquiry at the office of
the Corn Exchange National bank
brought out a confirmation of the ru
mors. Vice-President Hammill, of the
bank, said his family had not seen him
since yesterday afternoon, when the
board closed. The supposition among
Hutchinson's friends is that he wandered
away in a fit of temporary mental aber
ration. The actual condition of
Hutchinson's affairs is not known, al
though it is understood that nearly all
of his trades have been closed out, and
a private dispatch from Milwaukee says
all his deals there have been closed.
Whatever is his financial condition, it is
not believed that an/ one will lose any
thing through him.
A gentleman, who is a near relative
of Mr. Hutchinson, said the family had
seen for some time that his mind was
affected, and had been considering
whether it would not be better to take
some measures of restraint. The trades
made by him are found to be few in
number, they being settled now, and
there are ample funds to meet all his
liabilities.

The Anaconda Rumor.
Baltimore, Md., April 29. —The Butte,
Montana, dispatch which reported the
Anaconda mines sold to the Roths
childs, is thought to be a repetition of a
story which has been in circulation here
for some time. Will Keyser, president
of the Baltimore Copper company, is in
New York at present, and it is known
that he is soon going to Europe for his
health. People here who might be ex
pected to know something of the matter
are disinclined to talk.
San Francisco, April 29.—Irwin C.
Stump, manayor of titu estate of the late
Senator George Irwin, who owned a
large interest in the Anaconda mines,
denies all knowledge of the reported
sale of the mines to the Rothschilds.
School Indemnity Lands.
Washington, April 29. —The secretary

ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
The New Smokeless-Powder Cartridges
on Exhibition.
The new ammunition for the use of
the army was on exhibition at army
headquarters yesterday. It consists of
a nickeled cartridge, carrying a 30-cali
ber copper-jacketed bullet, and charged
with the new smokeless powder adopted
by the war department. The cartridge
weighs about half as much as the former
copper cartridge and lead bullet, and is
represented as being far more powerful.
The smokeless powder is coarser than
the grain powder formerly used, but
otherwise looks much the same. The
gun for the use of thia ammunition will
be a magazine rifle of much lighter
weight than the old rifle, owing to the
smaller bore and lighter cartridges, and
the two combined will tend to make the
load of the soldier on duty much less
than it now is —not a small item in an
active campaign.
The department is enjoying the quiet
est time it has experienced for some
time, the Indians all being quiet and
well-behaved, and nothing doing in
other lines.
In Berlin and other cities Socialists
have withdrawn their children from the
schools as a protest against the anti-So

in accordance with the expressed wish

STELLA GETS HER MONEY
A PECULIAR CASE SUCCESSFULLY
SETTLED BY COMPROMISE.
The Way Albert Wade Scattered His
Money Before he Died—His Wife and
Daughter Left Out in the Cold.
Miss Stella Wade went north last
evening with her mother. She had a
check in her pocket which called for
$1500. It will be remembered that Al
bert P. Wade, the father of Miss Stella
Wade, died at the Orland house, on
Third street, some time in February.
Wade came here from San Francisco, in
very delicate health, and one of his last
acts before dying was to dispose of sev
eral thousand dollars he had in his pos
session. After consulting with a promi
nent banker, he sent checks to the fol
lowing named partits: Dr. W. W. Beck
ett, $2000; Mrs. Delia Whippley, $500;
Miss Annie Mitchell, $500; Rev. Will
Knighten, $500, and C. D. Howrv, $1500.
Mrs. Wade came to Los Angeles some
weeks since to look after the property
left by her husband.
D. W. Field, the public administrator,
soon after filed a document 'asking to
be appointed administrator of th«j«9tate.
Field a demand on the fpartvea
who had received checks, asking for a
restitution oi the same. They claimed
that they had received the money legiti
mately, and were not compelled to re
turn any of the money. Wells, Munroe
& Lee were instructed to proceed in the
matter. In the meantime, Geo. H. Win
terburn, the brother-in-law of Mrs. Wade,
arrived here, and the result was that
the case was yesterday compromised in
Judge Clark's court, the beneficiaries
giving up $2250 to Stella Wade, the
daughter of the deceased. The neces
sarj r papers were filed by Public Admin
istrator Field, and a check of $1500 was
turned over to the girl, and $750 to the
public administrator, which money will
subsequently be turned over to Miss
Wade.
Mrs. Wade was very much satisfied
with the arrangement. About $1200 out
of the $5000 were owed by Wade, conse
quently it will be seen that a compro
mise was the best way out of the diffi
culty, as a contest would have necessi-j
tated a considerable expense.
NEW SUITS.

Desires to Bear Testimony.

them ior pains in the back und side arising
from rheumatic and other causes never without
deriving benefit Irom their application. They
are easily applied and very comforting Those
engaged as I am in public work which involves
exposure to sudden changes of temperature
will do well to keep a supply of Allcock's Po
rous Plasters in their portmanteaus."

CLEOPATRA IN A DIVE.
THE DIVINE SARAH ENJOYS A
SLUGGING MATCH.
Bernhardt Visits the Crsmorne and Sees
Two Pngs Pummel Eaoh Other—She
Enjoys the Affair.
The lights were extinguished as usual
in the Cremorne Variety theater, on
Market street, after the curtain had
dropped on the last song and dance last
night, says Tuesday's San Francisco
Chroncicle.
But that there was something unusual
op the programme was apparent to the
habitues, for the audience had hardly
dispersed before the footlights were lit
up again and mysterious persons were
traveling to and fro from the auditor
ium to the stage.
Manager Hallinan was full of sup
pressed excitement, and whispered or
ders to his assistants that meant some
thing.
Up stairs in the private barroom tbe
"ladies" who are generally in attend
ance on late customers sat about in an
expectant sort of a way.
About 1:30 o'clock one by one and in
groups a number of well known "bloods"
and night hawks put in an appearance
and nodded to each other in a knowing
way.
But at 2 a. in. the crowd was aug
m.ntnrl V\t. nV.r.,,f n /l/r.im fnv. 11 n> > _ 1 ) - I •...

people, and only then it leaked out what
it all meant. There was to be a sparring
or boxing exhibition for the sole benefit
and private entertainment of the divine
Sarah, who, together with the ladies
and gentlemen of her company, occupied
seats in the wings.
There was a short delay, during which
several waiters were busy carrying bev
erages down to where Cleopatra was
awaiting the beginning of the exhibi
tion, and then the few favored guests
were invited to step ou the stage.
In the midst of a picturesque and ani
mated group sat "the Bernhardt," re
clining in an armchair, loosely dressed
in some soft white drapery and a white
lace scarf thrown over her head.
She talked gaily to her companions
while Manager Hallinan busied himself
with the gloves and other necessary ad
juncts to a sparring match.
Thomas Gillen, the lightweight, and
Mr. Scooney, the baseball player, were
introduced as the two distinguished
slogge/s who were to have the unpre
cedenJed honor to pummel each other
iv*" .scientific manner before the queen
o\ r tr^godirilllCf, lUIU IIK «<._
m\.ced.
From the time the two boxers shook
hands until the exhibition was over,
M:ne. Bernhardt watched every one of
their movements closely.
Her big, expressive' eyes followed
every dodge and every blow, and there
was no doubt but that she appreciated
every advantage one of the men gained
over his adversary.
Her companions were equally inter
ested, but only during the pauses be
tween the rounds one of them spoke to
the other.
Mme. Bernhardt never uttered a word,
but her facial expression told plainly
that she took a great deal of interest.
Colonel Jim Orndorf anl Ned Walters
were the time-keepers, and Jack Halli
nan the master of ceremonies.
At 2:30 a.m. tbe performance was
over, and the great actress left the little
theater, the boards of whose stage will
forever hereafter be celebrated as being
the only ones on an American variety
stage that have ever bean trodden by
Sarah Bernhardt.
Straggling Up Life's Rugged Hill
With youth, vigor, ambition and an indomitable
will to help us, Is no such grevious matter, but
tottering down again, afflicted by the ailments
which beset old age—our backs bent with lum
bago, our elastic muscles and joints stiff and
painful, is a woeful piece of business. For tbe
infirmities which the decline of life too often
brings, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a bene
ficent source of relief, a mitigating solace al
ways to bo depended upon. No regulating tonic
evolved by botanic medical discovery is so well
calculated, so thoroughly able, but without un
due stimulative effect to help the aged, the deli
cate and the convalescent—to resuscitate the
vitality of a frame which time and physical de
cline have impaired as this. Kidney und blad
der weakness and disorder, costiveness, ma
larial complaints, dyspepsia and rheumatism
are among the bodily afflictions which this
sterling recuperant and regulator overcomes.

Women-
The common afflictions of women are sick*
head-aches, indigestion and nervous troubles.
They arise largely from stomach disorders.
As Joy's Vegetable SarsaparlUa is the only
bowel regulating preparation, you can tee
why It is more effective than any other Saraa
parilla in those troubles. It is dally relieving
hundreds. The action is mild, direct and
effective. We have scores of letters from
grateful women.
