FALL OF A CAGE.

Ten Miners Dropped Three

\ Thousand Feet.

CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS.

The Engineer Failed to Stop theHoisting Machinery —

Seekingthe Mangled Bodies.

Special to Thk Morning i'ail.

Hoi'oiiTo'x, Mich., May 14.—Ten menwere dashed to pieces in the 1.-*d Jacketperpendicular shaft of the Calumet andBecla mine at noon to-day. The minerswere coming up in the cage to dinner, andthe engineer hoisted tbe cage against thetimbers of the shaft. The coupling-pinbroke and the men and the cage weredashed downward over 3000 feet to thebottom.

Following are the names of the killed:Allen Cameron, son of Captain Cam-

eron, in charge.James Cockling, single, support o' a

widowed mother.Joseph Pope, who leaves a wife and ono.

child. The wife was at the mouth of theshall with his dinner and saw the terriblefall of her husband and his comrades.

John Odgers, single.Oi lin Hik*.single.Andrew Xlno, married.Robert Wuopla, who leaves a wife and

three children.Michael Leavitto, widower.James Trevni, who leaves a wife and

three children.Con Sullivan, single, aged si.The men were aboard the skip used in

hoisting reck, and when the load of humanfreight reached the surface the engineerdid not stop it in time, but let itgo to thetop ol the deirick. when it broke looseand went back Willia crash to the bottomof the shaft

There is no wav of reaching the bottomnor getting the dead out, oxc?pt by goingthrough another shaft half a mile away,so that it was nearly three hours beforethe true state of affairs could he ascer-tained and it will tie toward morning be-fore the bodies can be brought to the sur-face. Itwillbe necessary to hoist them600 feet by ropes to reach the level of thenext shaft, Irom which point they willbecarried nearly half a mile through driftsand then hoisted by man car.

Twelve went down this morning, but onowas attacked by sickness and sent up, ac-comi anied by a comrade. The coroner'sjury is making a thorough investigation:

[twillhe another day before Mine In-spector Hall and the Coroner's jury cmgather the evidence requited to fix the re-sponsibility for the engineer's failure tostop. The investigation that the minersdemand shall be thorough.

General Manager Whiting and Superin-tendent Duncan are almost prostrated bythe awful responsibility which this liasthrust upon them. Did the indicator failto work and inform the engineer when thecage had reached the surface, as he says,or did he become careless and fail to stopthe engine at the proper moment? Theseare the questions that are being asked andwhich the ii.v .'.ion is expected to de-termine.

BIG FAILURE IMMINENT.The Guaranty Loan Company of

Thomas Lowry, who is stopping at theFifth-avenue Hotel, said last night in re-gard to the rumor that the NorthwesternGuaranty Loan Company of Minneapoliswould not open Its doors to-day:"Iwant to be entirely candid with you.Ido not believe anything can be gained inthe present situation except by a frankstatement of the company's condition.The company may not he compelled toclose its doors to-morrow, but suspensioncannot be put off more than two or threedays."Ihave been in constant communica-

tion by private wire with PresidentMenaye for the last three days. 1 was upall last night talking to him ever thiswire. Some of my financial friends inNew York were with me, and we came tothe conclusion that suspension could uotbe averted.

"The company is about ten years old, andlias a capital stock of g1.250,000. For sev-eral years it has attempted to float com-mercial paper. Ittook collateral sufficientto cover the paper nnd then guaranteedthe iayitient of the paper.

"Alltold. itnow holds about 53,000,000of this commercial paper. The stringencyin the money market made it impossiblefor our customers to take up or renewtheir notes, and unfortunately we cauuotrealize on the collateral."

MATTER OF FORM.

The Infanta Bothering theDiplomats.

A QUESTION OF ETIQUETTE.

Shalt President Cleveland ReturnEulalia's Visit Now the

Momentous Problem.

Special to The Morning Cali.

Washington, May I*4.—lt was learnedto-day that. the representatives of .Spainand the United Stales have thus far failedto reacii a satisfactory understanding re-garding tlio pr>gramme of courtesies to beextendid between the President and theInfanta Eulalia in the course of her stay ivWashington.

According to custom, the Princess, at aconvenient period after her arrival, wouldcall upon the President and Mrs. Clevelandnt the 'White House. Whether or not thePresident should in return call at ihePrincess' quarters in the hotel is the ques-tion, upon the settlement of which dependsthe future course of the Infanta.

The Spanish representatives, it is under-stood, insist that a return visit to thePrincess is one that is due by courtesy andshould be paid. They argue that thePrincess Is the personal representative ofthe Queen Regent*, and will come to theUnited States upon the express invitationof Congress, Under these conditions, andthese only, they fee! that a return visit.should be laid. Ifthe Infanta were travel-ing through the country as a touristmerely, they say, she would pay her re-spects to the President, and no return visitfrom him would be expected. The Spanishofficials are quoted as saying that thecourtesy which should obtain among in-dividuals of the same rank, and not eti-quette, demands that the visit of theInfanta be reciprocated by the President.

The subject lias beeu very thorougly dis-cussed in Washington and Madrid, and atelegram from the latter capital, printed. iiSaturday morning, expressing the ap-prehension that the Infanta's health wouldnot permit her to coutinue on her journeyto the United Stales, is construed here aspreparing the way for her return to Spainfrom Cuba ifit should be found necessaryto change tho original plan.

The situation is embarrassing, and many-lions have been made of expedients

to relieve it. One of these, it is under-stood, was that the Infanta and her suitebe entertained at the While House duringtier stay, thus obviating altogether thedifficultyover the return visit.

There is uo precedent for the guidanceof the officials here, as no one assuming tobe the personal representative of a sove-reign has ever visited this country.

DENMARK LYNCHING.Negroes of South Carolina Deeply

Aroused.Washington, May it.-The following

letter from a gentleman, vouched for a* adispassionate ami disinterested observer,has been received here, depleting the ex-isting condition of public feeling In SouthCarolina. Itmay be stated that the writeris not connected with either political partyin South, Carolina

'•"<.'* "•'..i.r-iiiiA, S. C, May 12."Although at first glance the popular ex-

citement aroused by the lynching of thenegro Peterson at Denmark, this State, ap-pears to have subside I, to the skilled ob-server of public affairs it is plainly evident*that beneath the surface there are strongcurrents of bitter feelings at work that willnot come to rest until they have wroughtmarked changes in the very substratum ofpolitics in the Palmetto State, and, bysympathetic action, in tie whole of thegreat black belt of the South. Publicmeetings have ceased, but the feeling ofdisquiet Is evident on all side*.

"Though the feeling is bitter. i' is ndt ti-be understood that there is imminentdanger ol a war of race*. The negroesare acting with prudence and discussingthe affair calmly but earnestly. They haveaOandoned hope of outside interference,and are becoming self-reliant. They meanto use the power of their brain and sinewin politics on a scale they have never be-fore attempted, and that is what thenegroes are privately discussing just now.The political future of . this State istroubled and uncertain of prediction ifthe best element among the negroes ob-tains control, and ifit does not, then thevery social structure is in danger, for theDenmark lynching will down."

CLAIM RECOGNITION.

The Negro League Calls forPatronage.

Unearthing Pension Frauds in Vir-ginia—Decision in Regard to

Idiot Immigrants.

Special to Th**' Mi.kmno Call.

Washington, May 14.—Tho NationalNegro Democratic League has addressed aletter to President Cleveland, which, aftercriticizing the publican party for itstreatment of the negro, says that tholeague stood with the Democratic partywhen it was routed In 1888. and that thosewho had received recognition at the bandsof the Democratic party were promptlychastised ana summarily dismissed by theRepublicans.

Again in the last campaign the negroDemocrat, in the face of insults and in-juries of every kind, with voice, pen andhis best energies, proclaimed for GrovcrCleveland and reform. The letter recitesthat the league has been placed in a falselight before the country because of . thefailure so far to gain recognition in the dis-tribution of patronage, and asks the Presi-dent if the places "held by colored Repub-licans who have been and are now hostileto the league and the party with which itidentified, are to remain longer in tbebands of political enemies."Itis stated at the Pension Office that up

to last Tuesday the pension examinersnow in Norfolk, Va., investigating claimsfiled by Pension Attorney Drewry badcompleted fourteen case.*., all of whichwere found Irregular or fraudulent. Thepension officials have been searching thefiles for claims filed by DrewFy whichhavo been allowed, and so far 168 havebeen found and forwarded to the examin-ers at Norfolk.. No computation of amounts paid onthese claims has been made, hut as all ofthem were filed under the act of June 27,1800, Mhicli allows $12 per month as themaximum rate, it is possible that the aver-age will fall below $200 each. Drewry isnow serving a one year term in jail forfraudulent transactions in pension cases.

NOT BANKRUPT YET.

James Gordon Bennett Still Hasa Few Million;.

He Has .Simply Organized the New-York Herald Under a Stock

Company.

Special to Thk Mor.n-ixo i'at.i.

New York, May 14.—It is explained

that the disappearance of James GirdonBennett's name from the title pa~c of theNew York Herald was due to the fact thatthe proprietorship of the journal has beenvested in a stock company. Mr. Bennettfeels that in case anything should happento him it would be desirable to have theproperty In shape for proper preservation.

John Towusend. attorney for Bennett,is quoted as saying that Bennett has hadin his head for two or three years the ideaof forming a corporation to" run the Her-ald. Nothing has been definitely decided,however, beyond the fact that r. corpora-tion willsurely be formed. No steps havebeen taken beyond the discussion of theplan.

Townsend said that, speaking from hisknowledge of the matter, the capital stockwould he 62,000.000. He thought theshares would be $100 eacn, making 20,000shares in all, and that Bennett would In.dSl,8(30,000 wnrtn of the stock, or 18 000shares. The stock will not be for sale,and there will be as few stockholders aspossible.

As soon as Bennett determined posi-tively lo have the corporation, he took hisname off tbe editorial page.

Townsend said that Mackay had no ln-teiest in the Herald at the present time,nor would he have in the new corporation,Bennett was richer to-day than he ever wasand Inno financial -allies.

The Herald is not mortgaged for a dol-lar and Bennett is worth 54.500,000 clearofdebts, lfthere are three stockholders,Gardiner •'. H* wland will probably beone of them. Ifthere are more than this,Mr. Townsend could not tell who theywould be.

"To sum up the whole thing," said Mr.Townsend, "he is Bimply going to organizea corporation to bold bis newspaper stock,of which corporation he willhold the ma-jorityof the stock. He does this In orderthat he may have his property in such ashape, it he is so minded, that he couldeasily dispose of all or a'oart of itduringhis life and can partition it'plainly andsimply at his death.

HAS HE FLED ?

Talk in Santa Clara ThatLeonard Is Gone.

DISCLOSURES EXPECTED SOON

A Syndicate Will Reorganize theBank, and Depositors Will Be

Paid— Hay ward's Funeral

Sax Jose, May 14. To-day's quiet hasgiven people interested more or less in theBank of Santa Clara an opportunity tomoralize upon the unstability cf humanaffairs. But Sunday though it was, itdidnot prevent the topic which was upper-most in people's minds from being freelydiscussed.

Attorney Lien's statement r-f yesterdaythat depositors would be paid in full and afair amount left over for the stockholdersunless something unforeseen cropped up,lias done much to allay excitement amongdepositors.

Town Treasurer Kington, who is a largedepositor and has championed the causeof oilier depositors, was seen by yourcorrespondent to-night. He was one ofthe most vehement in his denunciation ofthose concerned in the batik's rotten con-dition, lie now believes implicitly inLieli's statement.

"But where is the money to pay deposi-tors to come from?" he was asked.

"From mortgages and first-class secur-ities ou real estate," was his reply.

"Lieb told me that there could be nobetter securities of ihat character any-where than those held by the bank. Itwillnot, however, do to force real estateupon the market now, as itwould entailconsiderable loss."ifancy, however, that a syndicate of

wealthy men, among whom may possiblybe some of the present directors, willstepiv and undertake to pay off the depositorsin fulland continue the banning busiuess,lauina mortgages and other assets of thebank as security for the money advanced.Iam giving this as my individual opinion,but itis shared by others. The bank is anecessity here, and they might just aswell do that and inspire confidence in thepeople.

"Tie depositors will not hold anothermeeting unless an emergency arises. Itwill probably entirely depend upon whatto-morrow's investigation may bring forth.We are satisfied to waif, having every con-fidence so fat that every one's interestsare being conserved. There is a growingfeeling. however, that something stillmore startling will be developed to-mor-row, but personally Iam of opinion thatthe defalcations bf Leonard and Haywarddo not extend further back than Decem-ber, 1891, aud not much more can be dis-covered.

"There Is no desire on any one's part,so far as 1 kuow, to legally punishLeonard.

"Business men here have known him sointimately for so ninny years thai they ap-partrat yhave nodesire to proceed crimi-nally against him. All they want is their

are of the money lie is supposed to have.It appears that the total defalcation, sofar, willnot exceed £163.000. and itis onlyrecently when the stocks took a tumblethat the greatest proportion of that amountwas misappropriated."It is quite refreshing to find shrewd

business men talking in such a mannerabout the man who has swindled them outofiNusandsof dollars and even committedHi" grave crime of forgery and willfullyio.*,i;,.reset.te.l facts to the directors MtdBank Commissioner Knight.It was common talk on the streets of

Santa Clara to-day that Leonard's sick-ness waiall pretense and that he was notat his residence, but had quietly slipped offto parts unknown, although thinking mendo not place much, if any, credence uponthis rumor.

Still it shows to what extent men's im-aginations willlead them. Itis argued Insupport of tho rumor ihat no one outsideof the family and the faniily doctor liasstated that Leonard is sick in bed. SinceFriday morning, when Directors Frank andDibble called at his house, no outside per-son has spoken or seen him.

Your correspondent called at Leonard'shouse to-night about 8:30, but it was all indarkness, and no one responded to the re-peated riugiug of the doorbells.

Leonard is undoubtedly the man who ismost blamed. Hsyward is universallyspoken of as having been most conserva-tive in bis dealings and mode of life, andit is thought that he may have beenbrought under Leonard's thumb at iirstquite innocently and then had fallen aneasy prey.

His body was interred in Santa ClaraCemetery this afternoon. There was alarge number of prominent residents atthe funeral. Including many depositors ofthe bank and some of the directors.

The pall-bearers were J. (I. McMillan,F. C. Frank, K. B. Don. van, C. C. Morse,John Widney, Louis Duncan. George Glen-denning and A. Hicks. Rev. Mr. Need-ham of the Methodist Church officiated,and duriug the short service paid a glow-ing tribute to the memory of the de-ceased. The mother and brother were thechief mourners.

Deceased's brother was seen to-night,and notwithstanding the developments ofyesterday he says he is as confident as everthat he wHI yet be able to vindicate the deadcashlei's good name. lie willremain tillthe investigation is completed. He hasasked permission from the directors to bepresent at the exporting of the books andit was readily granted.

There Is one important point that seemsto be little talked about in referring to thepossibility of paying the depositors in full,and that is the liability of stockholders.Supposing the total deposits, Includingthose which were not on the register,amount to 5300.C00, at least two of the di-rectors are reported to be each worth thatamount, leaving nil ethers eutirely out ofthe question. The consensus of opinionto-day, therefore, can be summed up intwo sentences: Depositors villibe paid infull. A syndicate wlll take over the assetsand liabilities of the bank immediatelyalter the investieatlon Is concluded andresume business at ths old stand.

One of the developments eagerly lookedfor is, who were the persons outside of thebank officials that were in collusion withLeonard and llayward in their pecula-tions. To-morrow morning a. meeting ofLeonard's creditors will ho held in theSheriff's office, and some interesting factsmay come to light then. Itis expected tobe a lively meeting.

Philadelphia, May 14.—A fire causedby a defective flue in the bakehouse of theAldine Hotel badly gutted the buildinc; to-night and caused a loss estimated at about5140,000. The 120 guests in the house andthe servants escaped uninjured after anexciting experience.

The servants were first awakened, andscattered through the house to arouse thesleeping guests. Nearly all the guestsrushed from their rooms with but littleonexcept their nightdresses.

To add to the terrors of the situation theelectric lights went out and the darkenedhalls were filled with shrieking womenand frightened men, groping their waythrough the smoke toward the stairs.

Pushing, jostling and scrambling the ter-rified crowd made its way down the backstairs ts the street, and all providentiallyescaped.

When the firemen arrived they soon gotthe flames under control, but not before thero if had been burned off and the housethoroughly flooded with water.

The furnishings of the hotel, valued at8112.000, were damaged to the amount of890.000, on which there is $60,000 insur-ance. The building was damaged to theextent of 53.1,000.

LET 'EM RETALIATE.

Forebodings of a Former ChineseMissionary.

Fearful That His Brethren Will BeTurned From the Work of

Saving the Heathen.

Special to The Morxixo Call.

New York, May 14.—P.ev. Dr. J S.Baldwin, for twenty-two years a Metho-dist missionary in China, and fur nearly aquarter of a century secretary of the mis-sionary board of the Methodist, EpiscopalChurch, which has large moneyed inter-ests in China, said tc-day that he had posi-

tive Information from the dignataries ofthe Chinese Government and from theChinese missionaries of the MethodistEpiscopal church in China that if the Chi-nese exclusion act be carried iuto effectand Chinese residents snipped from thiscountry to China deported simply be-cause they are here without having takenout certificates— Americans in China willbe likewise deported from that country tothe United States.

"If the law be declared constitutionalby the Supremo Court." he said, "1antici-pate that there will be an exodus, both ofmissionaries and merchants from China,in retaliation for the sending home of theChinese from tho United States. Severalyears auo this course was urged upon theChinese Government by one of the censors,who was supported in his memorial by anumber nf prominent officials.

"LiBung Chang, at present Viceroy ofChuh-!e and Sluing Tung Provinces, thegreat statesman of China, whom GeneralGrant so heartily admired, lias been veryslow to come to this view of the case andvery unwilling to relinquish his markedfriendship for the United- States. jButthere are strong grounds for believing thatthis great statesman has at last come tothe conclusion that the only way to defendthe honor and dignity of his own nation,In view of these expected acts of oppres-sive legislation on our part, and in view ofthe failure of diplomatic action to produceany remedy, is to enter upon a course ofretaliation and treat Americans in Chinaas the Chinese are treated in America.

"This is the most perilous time in the re-lations of China to the United States yetencountered. It is probable that theMethodist Church willmake an appeal tothe Chinese authorities, in case deporta-tion is decided upon, in behalf of theMethodist missionaries now stationed inall the Provinces."\u25a0WASHINGTON, May 14.— Return* onChinese registration from 35 out of 63 in-ternal districts in the United States showthat 3169 Chinese complied with the law.The districts most densely populated byChinese have not yet made returns.

V*<.r:\TVii.i.e. May 14.—1t ls more thanprobable that several men, heretofore ashigh in authority in the councils of theVeterans' nome nt Y'ounlville as was everColonel C. E. K. Royce. the defaultingtreasurer, will be found wanting whenweighed in the balance. That the inves-tigating committee will sooner or laterprefer criminal charges against certain of-ficers and ex-officers of the home is ad-mitted by members of the committee.Tlicro will be civil suits a3 well, and atpresent the prospect is that Royce willnotsthtid alone much longer as the one scape-grace.'

"Worse and more of it"expresses tersely

the results of the investigation made by thecommittee into the affairs of the home hereto-lay. Itwas the second Sunday that thecommittee has spent at the home, and itsInvestigations were far more thorough andsearching than upon the occasion of itsfirst visit. Ithas now becomo not a ques-tion of who is guiltybut how many areguilty, and the men who predicted that thecommittee would use whitewash liberally

in Its investigations are free to admit thatthey are most agreeably disappointed intho way the investigation is being cou-d ted.

Every member of the committee was onhand early this morning when the trainarrived, and with tbem was GeneralBarnes, who has done most of the realwork of the Investigation so far and whohas supplied himself with facts and li-tires

that arc beginning to make some of thedirectors and ex-directors of the home veryuncomfortable.

No one, even the directors, now attemptto deny that the home has beert grosslymismanaged for years and moreespecially during the past two or threeyears. That goods, money, material andeven land have been stolen from the homeis now not a conjecture but a fact provedbeyond question.

Genera. Barnes and Messrs. Coop, Ful-ler, Deasy, Tait and Fletcher resumedthe investigation by taking up the questionof tbe maintenance supplies furnished ihehome. The committee had a number ofprice lists of the staple goods furnished,which had been made out for them bymerchants in this cilyand which coveredprices of goods scheduled at stated timesfor two years back.

The principal work done was to comparethese prices with the prices charged bythe firms who have been supplying thehome, and the result was anything butflattering to the chairman of the committeeon supplies, who made all the contracts.Itwas clearly shown that not only has thehome been paying all the way from 10 to50 per cent more for its supplies than themarket price, but il was also shown tliatthe firms that have been supplying thegoods have at times utterly ignored theirbids aud have charged as high as 20 percent more than the prices at which theyagreed to furnish the articles.Itwas ascertained as well that instead

of standard good?, such as are called forin the bids and which the firms agreed tofurnish, goods of unknown quality, bear-ing only the label of the firm tliat sentthem, were supplied. The storeroom atthe homo is full of just such goods to-day.An expert in groceries accompanied thecommittee, and, after a careful examina-tion, he deciaied that the coffee wasneither Rio nor Java; the flour wassecond grade; the sugar was not as calledfor in the bids; the rice was inferior, andmost nf the canned goods wero of an ab-solutely unknown quality. Samples of allthe staple groceries were taken and willbe submitted to experts to-day for furtherexamination.

Then the committee took up the work ofcomparing the prices paid by the Veterans'Home and the prices paid by other institu-tions, both public and private, in the Statefor the same grade of supplies, lt wasfound that the home has been paying from10 to 30 per cent more for its supplies thanany other institution in the State.

The question naturally arises, who hasbeen benefited by this system of shame-less waste of the home's money, other thanthe firms holding the contracts?The committer, while not yet ready tomake public all the evidence itpossesses,-does not hesitate to say lhat certain dire<--tors willhave to explain why, for over twoyears, they bought no groceries at retail fortheir own consumption in their homes.

Considerable quiet detective work hasand is being done in conjunction with theinvestigation, and the efforts to locate the"leaks" throueh which the money for thehome has wasted away has disclosed thefact that while!Koyce tot most of it thereare others who got away with some nicepickings.Itis hard to get reliable testimony from

the Inmates of the home upon any subject.For some reason they are split up intofactions and one faction will deny thestatements of another faction, even wbenalmost absolute proof of their truth staresthem in the face. One thing is certain,and tint is that the ex-commandant of thehome has not a friend among the Inmates,and as much as ilerriman Is abused Ditnp-fel is praised. A great change is notic-able lnibe home since Dimpfel assumedcharge of it. Itis cleaner, better order iskept among the men ana something likediscipline is being maintained in all de-partments.

The much discussed canteen is probablydoomed. The Investigating committee willrecommend either its abolishment or elsethe establishment of rigid rules governingthe sale of liquor to inmates. The checksystem at present in vogue will certainlybe abolished and the men, if the canteenruns, willhave to buy their tickets, givingthem only so many drinks per day, in ad-vance.

After tho long session of the day the in-vestigating committee, without warninganybody of its Intention, started on a tourof Inspection through the home and wentover itfrom garret to cellar. The commit-teemen found abundant evidence of pastneglect, but stated that all is being done atpresent that can be done to remedy theevils existing when the committee wascalled Into service.

On- Monday night the committee willmeet in San Francisco and again onWednesday night. Itannounces that assoon as it concludes Its examination Intothe supplies question, itwill take up thecasesof Individuals and goon untilevery-body and everything has been investigated.
