PORTER'S REPORT.
The C'e
ipcrlnteadcnt Shows What
lie IIuh Disbursed and Accomplished.
Washington, Sept. 28.—The annual
report of Superintendent Robert P.
Porter of the census bureau has been
submitted to the secretary of the inte-
rior. The disbursements of the bureau
during the last year amounted to f0,-
408,582. The total number of clerks
now engaged In the ccnsus work is
1,050. Eight regular bulletins have
been issued and 14,500 pages of matter
relating to the census printed. A
special report on irrigation has been
completed and is being prepared for
publication. The total number of
mortgages in tho United Stales is
shown to bo 4,001,401.
Opposition to II. ,J. Taylor.
Washington, Sept 23.—It is alto-
gether probable that C'. H. ,T. Taylor
will not go to llolivia as United States
minister. The senate committee on
foreign affairs do not like the appoint-
ment and no action will bo taken on
the appointment for some time. An
effort will bo made to have Taylor's
position changed to something else out-
side the diplomatic service. This ac-
tion, it is thought, will be taken by the
president, as numerous protests have
been filed since the announcement of
Taylor's appointment to the place.
Farmers Win Their Fight.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept 23.-The fight
between the elevator companies and
the farmers ended in a complete victory
for the latter. Henry Rippc, of Martin
county, asked that the state railroad
and warehouse company and the state
auditor bo permanently enjoined from
erecting the state farmers' elevator at
Duluth, for which the legislature had
appropriated $120,000. At the conclu-
sion of tho arguments Judge Willis de-
cided not to grant the injunction.
Opposing Mr. Van Alen's Appointment.
Washington, Sept 23.—There is con-
siderable talk on the floor of the sen-
ate regarding the appointment of Mr.
J. Van Alen to be ambassador to
Italy, and while the appointment has
not been before the senate for a suf-
ficient length of time to permit a
thorough canvass of its fitness, the sen-
timent so far is certainly a verso to ilkir.
Van Alen, and It has become evident
that his confirmation will bo quite
strongly opposed.

Philadelphia, Sept .a.—The weigh
ing of gold bullion in one oi' the e
serve vaults of the Philadelphia mini
has led to the discovery of a shortage
of about 5,000 ounccs, valued al
1105,000.
The vault was sealed in lw*7 anu
when Col. Ilosbyshell assumed charge
of the mint the bullion in the
reserve vault was not weighed, he
receipting for the contents on faith.

visitors of Reiehenau. The baron has
therefore agreed to a lottery, with the
castle and park as the one great prize.
The proceeds will bo given to the
trustees of tho hospital.
—An epidemic of suioHe han pro-
vailed in Ruda-Pcsth and other Hun-
garian towns lately. In Ruda-Pcsth
alone seven suicides occurred lu one
day several weeks ago. Tho num-
ber of cases of insanity is also increas-
ing so rapidly that tho hospitals and
asylums are crowded. Physicians as-
cribe both phenomena to the scarcity
of pure wine since ihe phylloxera, in
consequence of which tho people drink
a made-up liquid composed of sub-
stances pernicious to the brain.
THE CHICK PROCESS.
EgVi Left by Depositors Fsed I'p In the
Itednctlon of Hcfructory Ores — Much
Orlef Caused Thereby.
Topkka, Kan., Sept. 1 •—The stock-
holders of the ( hick short method
silver smelting process will hold a spe-
cial meeting in this city to-day. This
is the company which was to pay Chick
about 11,000,000 for the discovery of
the short quick and cheap method for
the reduction of refractory ore. It es-
tablished a smelter at Pittsburg, Kan.,
and one at Denver. It purchased at
the damps all the worthless refractory
ore and worked it up under tho secret
Chick process. The company, under
the management of tho inventor, paid
dividends for a short time, when they
stopped.
At the meeting held here Inst spring
the dissatisfied stockholders sup-
planted Chick, with Mayor Ritchie as
president and manager, and made an
assessment on the stock for the pur-
pose of placing the company on its feet
The new president was instructed to
pusli the operations and investigations
to sueh an extent that at the next
meeting the stockholders could have
positive information as to what the
secret method amounted to, and
whether they had anything to show for
the largo amount of money already in-
vested under the direction of President
Chick.
There were rumors to the effect that
tho meeting will receive some startling
revelations in regard to the operations
of the old management, and that docu-
ments are now prepared which will
show that every ounce of silver pro-
duced under the Chick method has cost
more than by other methods. Other
things are hinted at together with
propositions for winding up the affairs
of the concern and tho prosecution of
some of the old officers. 111 fact, it is
stated that .requisitions have already
been sent to other states for the arrest
and return of one of them.

Pittsburg, Kan., Sept. *1—A few
days ago the Western Coal & Mining
Co. imported 100 negroes from Alabama
to work in their No. 4 shaft at Yjtta.
After resting a few days they were
called upon by the superintendent to
go to work, but refused to do so unless
paid fifty-six cents per ton with a year-
ly contract
This the company would not give and
yesterday the negroes held a meeeling
and by a majority vote decided not to
work until the company should concede
their wishes. Some of them are leav-
ing while others are remaining to hold
out for the price. This morning over
100 negro women arrived to join their
h .sbands at Yale.
It is currently reported that the col-
ored miners at shaft 37. Kansas &
Texts, are dissatisfied. They claim
that they get all they want to eat, but
have had no pay. The plea is made by
the company that their books arc not
