It Slay Fravant Him From Flilioa; tha Foaitlon In Daninark. New York, May 17. John E. Risley, the newly appointed minister to Denmark, was made the defendent in a suit for an accounting of his fees as joint counsel with the late Senator Joseph E. McDonald.

Papers have been filed with United States Commissioner Shields. The petition asks the court for a writ restraining Kisley from departing out of its jurisdiction. A permanent injunction against the sale of his property in Westchester -and Kings counties is also asked. The case grows out of the partnership of Risley and McDonald in the collection of claims awarded by the Alabama commission. It is claimed thai Risley received a larger amount in fees for which he has thus far failed to account, and that McDonald received but to, 000 of these fees, although entitled to a much larger amount.

A remarkable statement was made by a prisoner in a lit tie courtroom in Middle Village, LrL.that will be the reverse of quieting to the nerves of Superintendent Byrnes and his New York policemen.

Considerable discontent and uneasiness is apparent among some of the laborers on the grounds and janitors of the different buildings because their salaries are hot forthcoming. The carpenters and staff workers erecting the band pavilions in Administration plaza, who struck for back pay, are still out. The men have not been paid for three or fpur weeks, and another month's pay will be due on the 26th.

The contractors have been putting them oft from day to day with the information that they will be paid when the exposition gives them the money due ou the contract, giving the men, however, anything from 25 cents to II at different times for car fare. It is said the contractor will not be paid anything until he has finished the job. Many of the contractors are behind in the payments, and they tell the workmen they cannot get their money from the treasury. The red tape necessary in the proper auditing and forwarding of accounts through the departments is no doubt responsible for part of the delay. There are about 2,000 janitors and helpers ou the grounds who have not received their pay for the last mouth and another payday is due in 10 days, so there is also anarchists close to New York who were win be done immediately after their ar- be wcupled in a short time by Henry SI1 vemall who will use it as a boarding house.

The Chinese question, as complicated by the decision of the supreme court, has been discussed from "very point of view, and It is understood that the conclusion reached is that the law could not be enforced for the reason that there was no money available for the purpose. iThe act only carries an appropriation of tlOO.OOO, and Secretary Carlisle showed that no more than $35,000 of that sum remained, with some bills still unaudited to be acted upon. It was estimated that it would cost to deport all the Chinamen now in the country who have not com- pliied With the laW more than 16,000,000.

"hla statement exhibited what one member of the cabinet called the utter inability of the government to give any effect to the law itself without further action by congress.

During the voyage of the Watchman from New York to Rio Grande do Sul, between Sept. 29, 1892, and Jan. 18 last, Crawford and Fitzgerald are charged with treating George Orr, a seaman, with inexcusable brutality. Each beat him repeatedly with a belaying pin, and eventually Crawford had him handcuffed to the mast during a storm. Orr was but half dressed and was exhausted by his punishment.

Constable George Hock of Maspeth testi- fled that he had found three dynamite bombs in the stable of the Whiting factory in March last, and within the next day two a big tin cau of the explosive under the floor of the factory itself, directly under the costly engine and" machinery.

Its biding place was pointed out by Otto Eck-holdt, who was brought from the Queens County jail for the purpose. Krkhol.lt Told the Story. Prisoner Eckholdt's testimony was sen-' sational in theextrenie. He said that Ruppercht, while foreman, of the factory, had the men in fear of him; that he would employ uoue but anarchists, and that even Mr. Crandall "had to dance when he He swore that Ruppercht made the dynamite and made tha bombs.

The wit-uess had put the dynamite bombs under the engine room floor at Ruppercht's direction, because Ruppercht was too larne a man to crawl under thefloor himself. Ruppercht had assured him they were placed there for safe keeping only, but wit ness believed that they were put there to blow up the factory. Pressed by counsel for Ruppereht to tell a single other occasion when he had seen Ruppercht have bombs iu his possession, he said: "Well, one night when we all went to New York to an anarchist meeting in Union square, about a year ago, Ruppercht took a satchel full of bombs with hiifl wall of the range, and at this point the task of tunneling through a 3-foot wall made of Bedford lime was the work of only a few hours.

I The Six Companies Delay. Numerous telegrams have been received at the treasury department respecting the deqision. Most of these telegrams ask that the law be suspended for at least six months, as its execution at this time will impose great hardships on Chinamen in-the United States.

Among the telegrams received is one from the attorneys of the Chinese-Six Companies, who also ask for a suspension of the law. Treasury officials tbtsw- li-ltrr. rac-ntlon JllHN IlKH. la raiitrij? fr advertiru lit. thinking of purchasing a vehlcie of any kind this season.

In spite of Treasurer Seeberger's assertion that the exposition treasury officers wers not playing a "stand off" policy the fact is that nearly all day long lines of shivering workmen were to be seen outside of the office of Paymaster Meehan. When asked why they were there, the men said they had been waiting for their pay for several days, and it was not tl first time they had stood inline tliere only to be put off with the announcement to "come around tomorrow at such a time."
