Foster on Government Finances.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-In talk with q

the government can and will use this old

silver purchased under the new act AGAINST
which certlhcates are issued, is available
cash: Inc certificates are against that ans
IL Is IN the nature OF trust but the profits
on silver purchases, amounting to some
four millions, may be used. The secretary

The Street sprinkiing Proposition.

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
No doubt majority of the property
owners on the immense area of streets
which the city council proposes to sprinkle
this season are opposed to paying 10 cents
foot for that business, and it is we'll for
them to protest against such reckless
waste of money and water All such mat
tiers should be decided by fair election of
the taxpayers interested, and not be left to
the protests of DIRECTORS. There ought to
be an elective Eyes" required, and not
merely disapprobative "no'' permitted.
The sprinkling proposed is not at all
necessary. The assessment is excessive
for most if not all of the streets and parts
of streets, on some of the lots away from
the centre of the city amounting to as much
as the total taxes of all kinds were very
few years ago. This is an outrage
Many of the streets Or parts OF streets in
the districts named to be sprinkled at 10
cents a foot, do not need to be sprinkled
more than from one to three days q week.
Two days week would be ample, and OR
or 3 cents would be all that is necessary
for that amount of sprinkling. A little dust
now and then, at least away from the bus
mess centres, would be immensely prefer
able to ever present mud.
The law tells us that the water shall be
uSeu urst loI uoiAestic purposes, next Tor
irrigation of cultivated lands, whereas
sprinkling the streets is neither domes-
tic nor irrigation use of the water. If
thirty miles of streets are to be dailv
sprinl1led it must be done by robbing
the owners Of lots of the irrigation
water which they have had the
right to use and have been using
for nearly half century. Is that rightl
IS it good pollcys Nothing that is not right
can be good policy. Who can approve of
watering the streets extensively while the
trees and other vegetation in the gardens
are drying up for lack of that very water
which really belongs of right TO them
Muddy streets and desert gardens VINO
wants such state of things? Yet that is
what our city council proposes to bring
about, and charge the taxpayers 10 cents a
foot for it too. want no such thing.

NEW YORK, April 29-Frank Les1fs,s IT,
Illustrated newspaper, w. J. Arkell and Rus
sell b. Harrison editors, contains the fol-
lowing editorial: "It is no violation of con-
fidence to say that Secretary Blaine is not
candidate for the Republican nomination
for President next year. That is settled
fact. Not only is Mr.. Blaine not a candi-
date but under no circumstances will he
consent to the use of his name, If there
seems to be any doubt in the mind of the
public in reference to this matter Mr..
Blaine will in due time and in his own wav
utterly, finally and absolutely dispel that
doubt. He is ready to do so now. When
Mr.. Blaine was called to the most imnor-
tant place in the cabinet he wrote in ranJv
to the Presidents letter rendering the an.
pointment (Which letter clearly outlined
the Presidents views) a statement that
distinctly implied in the clearest terms his
unquestloned and unbending fealty to the
head of the administration and bv no net
word or lntimation has Mr.. Blaine at anv
time since left his loyalty open to the
slightest suspicion. Mr.. Blaine by virtue
of his position is the chief and most init

much for prediction that the history of

BLAIR CALLED BACK
Blaine Requests His Presence in
Washington.
THE GOVERNMENTS FINANCES
Secretary Foster Says Director of The Mint
Leech Was Substantially Correct in
His Statement.

WASHINGTON, April ga representa-
tive of the Associated Press this morning
called at the Chinese legation here and
mad an interview with Minister Yen in
regard to the declination of his government
TO receive Senator Blair as the accredited
representative of the United States. Yen
SAID, through an interpreter, he had re-
celved cablegram from the Chinese for
elgn ONCE In which he was instructed to
lay before Secretary Blaine without delay,
expressing the unwillingness of the
emperor to receive Blair Other than
lhls, Yen had received no instructions,
written or otherwise, from his government
on the subject. The exact language of the
caolegram, or whether any reasons for
llls action We're given, he failed to state
personally, he had very high opinion of
Senator Blair.
At the time Senator Blair was nominated
minister to China, Yen was in Peru, to
"hlch government he was also the repre-
sentative of China, and did not return to
the United States until early i'll the present
month. He never had occasion TO ascer-
Tain what had been Senator Blalr's atti-
tude toward China or the Chinese residents
OF this country and not until his return had
the Senator's utterances on Chinese cues
.iohs as reported In the Congressional Record
oeen brought to his atten tion The min
lister conveyed the impression that he
simply stated the facts to his government
and aside from that had not sought to in
1uence its decision, either favorably to the
Senator or unfavorably. This action of the
Cnlnese authorities has not created the
least excitement here, as it has been an
hclpated by many from the first The
proceeding is not an unusual one and can
not be construed as indicating an unfriend-
~ feeling toward this government.
Among departmental officials there is a
general disposition to discuss the subject of
Blalr's rejection. Still it is evident there
IS no general desire to magnify the incident
into the proportions of diplomatic rup-
ture. 1t is long established rule of diplo-
macy that nation Is not obliged to accept
minister who is not persona grata, and
that his rejection on that account is not to
De construed into an intended affront to the
dignity of the nation which sends the min
lister. Altogether the opinion in official
circles is general that the United States is
by Its own conduct stopped from resenting
Minister Blair's rejection, and that after
waiting for a length of time sufficient to
MAINTAIN the national dignity, a new minis
ter will be appointed by President Harri-
SON

After an Exciting Trial, He is
Acquitted.

For Mrs. Avery and the Strange and Sudden
Death Of Her Husband-Killed in
an Opera House.

DENVER. Colo, April 29.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD The Millington
case was submitted to the jury at 3 80 this
afternoon. This is a case brought down
from Fort Collins in Larimie county.
Frank Millington and Mrs. William H.
Avery fell in love with each other and
their actions soon brought the fact to the
knowledge of large circle. In June last
Mr.. Avery died and was buried. The
physicians said the cause of death was
gastric fever. The talk and scandal con-
Meeting the parties became louder after the
husbands death and the body was eX-
humed and examined. The first autopsy
failed to find poison but showed that the
stomach had been greatly irritated. A
second examination was made and arsnic
found In the meantime, and within two
weeks after Avery's death, Millington and
Mrs. Avery were married in Nebraska,
and an attempt was made to keep the wed
ding quiet. This led the people of Fort
Collins to demand further investigation
and Mr.. and Mrs. Millington and billie
Wilmington, sister of the new husband,
were arrested, charged with causing.
Ayery's death by poison. The case was
brought to Denver on a change of
venue and commenced on January q.
Senator Ballard, Judge Belford and Luther
L. Mills, of Chicago, were counsel for the
prosecution, and Hon. c. S. Thomas and
Hon. I. NJ Patterson for the defense.
The case has been the most bitterly fought
ever before the courts of Denver. the
high standing Of the attorneys in the case
being sustained by their fighting every
point. Over a hundred witnesses were
examined for the prosecution and about
thirty for the defense. To-day sensa-
ton was stirred up just previous to the
submission to the jury by Mr. Patterson
charging one of the jury had been bribed
and offering to produce afidavits to that
effect. The judge would not take action
on the charge at that stage of the case.
AT about o'clock tonight the jury brought
in verdict of not guilty and the defend
ants were discharged. The verdict was
greeted with cheers by the crowd assem-
bied, as at no time was the evidence strong
enough for conviction.
Thus ends case that has excited more
feeling in Denver than any other ever tried

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The Herald Paris

been published in certain papers that Baron
De Hirsch had arranged for the establish

called upon the baron to-day. In answer
to an inquiry as to the Pennsylvania col
ony, he said: THAT is mistake. l have
just sent commission to the Argentine
republic and have decided to establish nv
first colony there; but later on, as the move
ment develops, 1 shall send colonists to
Brazil, La Plata and other South American
countries
Why have you chosen the Argentine
republic!n
Because the commission has reported
that there is excellent AGRICULTURAL land
there. want none but the best farming
SOL and we can get any quantity of 1t there.
ALREADY we have 400 families established
there and they are doing very well.
THE first year we shall send 1000, the
next year 1000, the third year 5000. They
will receive assistance at first. but of
course, every attempt will be made that the
colonies shall become self-supportinp as

You have read some articles in the
newspapers concerning the Jews in Russia,
stating they lived upon the Slavs?"
"All that's pure fanaticism, it is the work
OF the synod. They would act in the same
manner toward Protestants if they dared.
The head of the orthodox church went to
the Car, saying: You have 5000. 900
Jews and S5,000,000 orthodox subjects. One
or the other must co. Thus it was the
Jews were cruelty driven away from all
trades and isolated in districts where they
could not live. There are thousands and
thousands of them simply striving and in
abject misery. Such condition of affairs
could not exist in any other country but
Russia" The baron added reflectiyelv:
II suppose l shall spend all my money in
this movement, but after all, what is the
use of money unless you do some good
with it, And with these simple words
the conversation ended.

Cause of the Manipur plsaster.

CALCUTTA, April 29.-Mrs Grimwood,
wife of the late political agent at Manipur,
who was murdered with Commissioner
Quinton and others, has arrived here and
says the whole disaster was due to the
rashness of Quinton in refusing to listen
to sensible advice given him in regard to
negotiations with native chiefs. He en-
deavored to entrap SenaputtI, ibrother of
the deposed maharaiahl, with the inten-
ton or placing him under arrest, but Sena-
putt, learning of this not only failed to
appear, but planned the trap in which the
British were caught. Mrs. Grimwood's
story has caused severe reflections to be
cast upon the manner in which the entire
Manipur incident has been handled from
the time the maharajah was deposed down
to the apparently inexplicable delay in
pushing forward British forces.

PembrOke's Crankiness.

The outcome of the investigation into the
charges made by Councilman Pembroke
against Supervisor Paul, alleging that the
latter is eXtravagant and inefficient, will be
awaited with interest. Supervisor Paul is
said to be red hot over Pembrokes criti-
cism, while the latter claims to be able to
demonstrate the truth of all that he has
said. Up to date, however, it may be said,
the public is with the supervisor There
were many unfavorable comments made on
Pembroke's action in attacking the super
visor through the columns of the Freak.
The general opinion seems to be that the
proper place to expose the supervisors
''inefficency" was the council chamber.
rather than the columns of the Fredls.
