Tho last portion of Admiral Cotton's

I Advices from Minister Leishman.
"The state department has received a
cablegram from Minister Uuhmtn from
Constantinople, In which ha says that a riot

WASHINGTON. Sept. I. After deliberat
ing for several weeks over a mass of doc
uments submitted by the postofUce Inspec
tors, the federal grand jury in this city to
day returned seven Indictments In postal
cases, Involving sixty different persons. All
the Indictments were kept off the public
record and both the office and district at- I
torney refused to discuss the Indictments
or the parties Indicted. The Identity of
the indicted Individuals was thus left a
matter of conjecture.
it Is expected that arrests will occur to
morrow morning and that the Postofflce de
partment will have some announcement to
make during the forenoon. The grand Jury
action probably marks the beginning of the
end of the Investigations that have been in
progress since the middle of March. Volum
inous evidence has been laid before It as a
result of the Inquiry, and while the present
report of the Jury disposes of most of the
rases, there yet remains several to be
passed upon.
Washington Investigation Ended.
When the latter are disposed of, accord
ing to Postmaster Payne, the Investigation,
so far as tho work at Washington Is cone-mod,
will be at an end for all prac

dicted today live outside of Washing-ton.
They will be arrested as soon as bench
warrants can be served.
Postmaster General Payne and Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Brlstow re

shortly after that body reported, and sub

the subject. Both refused to divulge de

Two other Important events occurred to

Caaso of the Riot.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 8.-A con
sular dispatch from Beyroot, received at
one of the embassies here, states that a
fierce brawl occurred there yesterday
between parties of Mussulmans and
Christians.
It waa due to a shot fired by a Mussulman
tlpon 4 Christian employed at the American
college. The Christian waa wounded. The
fight broke out while the vail waa on
board the United States cruiser Brooklyn,
returning Admiral Cotton's visit. No
further details have been received.
In diplomatic circles here the affair Is
regarded aa being serious and a renewal
of the disturbances Is foared.
An official version of the Beyroot affair

afternoon during a sham battle by the reg

None were killed. Many of those Injured

up this morning. Fully 1,500 people crowded
onto It. 'v
There was a heavy artillery duel with
slego guns and three battalions of Infantry
were using black powder. Someone an
nounced that the cavalry were emerging
from a ravine to charge. People on the
grandstand Jumped up to see them through
the smoke and the stand went down with a
crash. The utmost confusion followed. It
was found that many were pinned down
under the boards. Hundreds who were
walking on the grounds rushed to the
grandstand looking for relatives and the
confusion was Indescribable until the reg
ular soldiers formed a line and kept all
back not Injured or caring for those In
jured. The battle, which was'at its height on
the opposite side of the rood, was called
off s't onee, and the soldiers, acting under
direction of their officers, began, taking care
of the injured. Ambulances were used to
convey people to the city hospitals, and
within an hour after the accident the in

Troops Restore Order.
This, says the report, compelled the troops
to Intervene and they succeeded In restoring
order. Three soldiers were wounded and
one was killed, while one Christian was
killed and one wounded. These figures
evidently are Incorrect, as the rioters must
have lost more heavily than the military.
The British consul at Beyroot Immedi
ately after the riot called .upon the vail
and threatened to ask Rear Admiral Cot

squadron in the event of tke renewal of the

In official circles here the disturbances

PITTSBURG. Sept. 8.--Judge R. S. Fraser
In common pleas court today heard argu
ments In the mandamus proceedings of the
Clyde Coal Company against the Pittsburg
& Lake Erie Railroad Company. The case
Is of vital Interest to manufacturers and
others who ship their productions by rail
and never before In this state and, as far
as can bo ascertained, In this country, has
the same question arisen. It Is merely
the question of whether a corporation can
compel a railroad corporation to furnish
sufficient cars to carry on its Industry.
Many question of. law were submitted to
Judge Fraser today, after which the court
took the papers.
The prayer of the petitioner is that the
railroad company be required to furnish
It with cars aa rapidly as Its demands may
require and promptly meet all calls for
cars, and If It cannot meet all calls for
cars it shall furnish them ratably and
fairly to the Clyde Coal company. The
defense contended thst the demand for
cars Is largely In excess of the ability of
the company to furnish, and If the plain
tiff company be supplied aa Is asked In
the pttltlon, this must be dons to the
detriment of other shippers, and finally, a
complete demoralization of the lines of the
Lake Erie company.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. The hearing In the
Universal Tobacco company case was con
tinued before Vice Chancellor Pitney n
Jersey City today. Tda hearing .was on a
motion to show cause why: a receiver should
not be appointed for the company and why
a preferred bond Issue of 81,000,000 should
not be restrained. The application for a
receiver Is made by Edwin McAlpln and
other stockholders of the company.
Julian F. Davis spoke tor the petitioners
and former Judge Gilbert Collins also
argued In support of the motion. Attorney
General Robert McCarter opposed the mo
tion.
Vice Chancellor Pitney said that It had
all along been alltged that the complain
ants were allied with the Tobacco trust,
but proof of this hsd not been given. There
was the mere allegation that they were
acting for the Tobacco trust. The vice
chancellor said that General McAlpln was
Justified as a man and a gentleman In sell
ing his stock.
"I think," he added, "you are hard pressed
to make such an argument."
After McCarter had concluded his argu
ment Wheeler H. Peckham followed for
the defendants, speaking against the mo
tlon.
At the conclusion of Mr. Feckham's argu
ment Vice Chancellor Pitney decided that
the complainants must be allowed to In
vestlgate the books and accounts ef the
Universal Tobacco company, and said he
would make an order to that effect. The
court named Fnvnk P. McDermott of Jersey
City as a master In chancery to attend to
the accounting.

to an exceptionally heavy enrollment for
the first day. No cases of excessive crowd

program was one of confused organisation.
It was evident that last year's enrollment
of l.SSS will be exceeded, but Principal
Waterhouse does not think the present ac
commodations will be overtaxed. Still,
however, every room will be used snd thse
will be no spare to spare.
There were fewer rases than usual of
principals and tearhers falling to appear at
the last moment.
Miss Powell, principal of the Walnut
Hill school, was the only principal who
did not report. She was detained In Chi

they would much prefer to be In Omaha.
They used their vacation for a trip through

back by inability to secure steamer accom

DEAD WOOD, S. D.. Sept 8.-(Bperlsl
Telegram.) The American Mining congress
began Its session today. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw wss one of the principal
speakers. He spoke of the relation of min
ing to the other Industries and to com
merce and of their necessity to each other.
He declared that trade extension was Im
perative to insure the future welfare cf
the nation and urged that regular lines
of steamers be established between the
United States and South American coun
tries. He discouraged the movement In
favor of the creation of a department of
mining, whose head It is asked by the
mining fraternity, shall be a member of
the president's cabinet, saying such a de
partment is unnecessary. President Rich
ards In his annual address urged a depart
ment of mines and mining. Hs also advo
cated that the mining congress be per
manently located at some point and that
mining schools be established.
Prayer was delivered by Right Rev. John
Stnrlha, bishop of Lead. Governor Charles
N. Herreld warmly welcomed the delegates
and visitors on behalf of the state, and
Mayor McDonald welcomed them to the
city of Deadwood. Responses were made
on behalf of the mining oonsress by Presi
dent Richards and several delegates. Re
cess was then taken until 3:30 p. m., at
which time President Richards delivered
his annual address. He said in part:
Duty of Conirress,
The ultimate aim of the organisation must
be to place the mining industry as a whole
upon a plane commensurate with its Im
portance. The congress must arouse so much inter
est throughout the whole country, must b-
the means of giving the nubile so much
valuable Information about mining, that the
people win at least reams tne importa-nru
and dignity of everything connected with
the proper development fend ulltlxatlon of
this great source of raw material; It must
be the means of finally opening the eyes of
the lawmakers to the necessity of a depirt-,
ment of mines snd mining co-ordinate in
rank with the Department of Agriculture,
and the recently created Department of
Commerce and Labor.
The logic of events, the irresistible forte.'
of a controlling tendency In human prog
ress, must ultimately compel the proper ,
recognition of the-mining Industry at ttie
hands of this government!, ss cne' of th i
necessities of goverhmttntsl laws.
It Is common knowledge what the De
partment nf Agriculture has done for ths
farmer. We say the mining prospector hs-t t.
just as good a right to scientific informa
tion from tho government concerning m.n
eral formations, the character of vailoua
ores and their proper treatment, for he, too,
Is a producer of the raw material that is a
condition of all resultant production, ard
this co-operathm on the part of the govern
ment may give him just the Industrial
banco that tie needs.
It is stated upon scientific authority thnt
even with all the Improved processes lately
Invented and successfully applied not nio-e
than one-fourth of the known valuable gold
bearing material In this country can as yet
be utilized.
Kxtenslve Districts Yet I ndevelOpril.
Many extensive districts are still unde
veloped, because the ore Is too low grade or
too refractory to be worked vlth profit.
These, problems will be solved, the necer-
ssry processes ana treatment win ds a.s
covered and In all probability this will be
done by scientific experts In the employ of
private capitalists, who will thereby be en
ab'ed to tax such mining districts at will
for vears to come. "
I do not decry the enterprise of private
capital; It Is worthy A Its reward. But I
simply ask, Why should not these re
sent ches and Investigations in the field of
mining, as well as in agriculture and horti
culture, be prosecuted at the public ex
pense by the people and for the people and
the results achieved be made free to the
people forever?

Judgment, the government could without
paternalism encourage the installation of
great steamship lines In the manner In
which It had aided In building great rail
roads to ths Pacific coast, and which would
be a certain measure for the increase of
our markets.
Alluding to that portion of President
Richards' address In which he urged ths
creation of a department of mines and
mining, Secretary Shaw said he was heart
ily In favor of the government doing every
thing It can, short of paternalism, In sup
port of the mining Industry of the country.
He would not, however, have the gentlemen
of this congr&ss go away with the Idea that
he advocated the formation of a special
department for mining, with representa
tion In the cabinet, but suggested that Its
needs could fully and properly be at
tended to through a bureau, which should
form part of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, pointing out ho wother impor
tant industries are to be taken car of In
the same manner. He then said in part:
It is an error to rate ths Importance nf
