NAY MEET TROUBLE.
Why Was Drummond Mum About
the Hoxygate Matters

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-Now
that Mr. Drummond, who was chief Of
the United States secret service under
the last administration. has effected
the capture of Howgate, he will be
called upon by the treasury department
to explain why he left no record in the
files of the bureau about the Howgate
case when he severed his connection
with the service. 1t is said at the trea-
sury department that Mr.. Drummond
claimed to be working on the Howgate
case in June, 1893. At that time the
Cleveland administration having been
in. power over three months, it was de-
termined to displace Mr.. Drummond, a
Republican, and give his place to Mr..
Hazen, a Democrat. Mr.. Drummond, it
is alleged, represented TO Secretary Car
Isle that he was then engaged in efforts
to capture Howgate, and TO displace
him at that juncture would interfere
with the apprehension of the fugitive.
Upon this assurance, Secretary Carlisle
deferred action, but after the lapse of
eight months, with still no news of
Howgate, the secretary concluded that
he would make a change Mr.. Drum
mond's resignation was handed in.
Soon after taking charge of the Office
Mr. HaZen had occasion to look up the
Howgate case, but, it is said, he could
find no trace in the files of the depart
ment of anything concerning the his
tory OF the efforts of the department to
capture Howgate. Early this month
the secret service bureau received in
formation that Howgate was in New
York, and that he was haunting a GER
tain locality. The bureau went to work
upon this hint, but had not found Cap
tain Howgate at the time that Drum
mond flushed his game There is a

PLAYING ''B0GIE MANI
Mckinley Takes the Wilson Banquet
For His Text,

Gallipolis, Ohio, Sept. Ex-Governor
Mckinley spoke here tonight to a big
audience. Many people came from
nearby West Virginia points to hear
him.
In the course of his long address,
Governor Mckinley inquired what in
oustries the tariff law of 1894 created
and what existing industries it had
stimulated and said:
I find answer to my question in a,
newspaper dispatch of today from Lon
don, furnishing particulars of ban
quet given by the chamber Of commerce
of London, to Mr. Wilson, member of
Congress, from the state of West Vir-
GINA, whose rugged hillsides l see just
over the river. Sir Albert Rollitt, who
presided at the banquet, said that Mr.
Wilson'S name had become honored
and familiar in England, and that Lon
don, in honoring him, honored itself;
that the new tariff law, while it might
not have realized the aspirations of its
promoters, had already benefited Eng
land. Furnaces have been re-opened in
Wales and Yorkshire and an impetus
has been given to the textile industries
This will be cheering news to the peo-
pie Of the United States and will bring
comfort TO the idle men who, for a
year, have been waiting for the Ameri-
/
heard of any commercial bodies in the
United States, through its spokesman,
declaring that any Industries in Ameri-
ca have been stimulated by this law
whatever benefits have gone to other
countries. While the banquet at London
was proceeding the board of trade at
Edinburgh sent it's congratulations.
There was a singular absence of any
American dispatches. Here is a word
Of encouragement Mr.. Wilson himself
gave to the gentlemen of London. He
said: Our protectionists have been
building defenses to keep you and other
nations from competing with us in our
home markets. The tariff reformers are
breaking down these defenses.' That
is what We object to. If we do not de-
fend our home markets against the pro-
ducts of the cheaper labor of other
countries, who will? Is it any wonder
that the gentlemen Of the chamber of
commerce of London applauded Mr..
Wilson when he uttered such a Senti-
ment? Mr.. Wilson even despairs of
free government, for he said we are be-
ing rapidly sobered, though unappalled
by the truth forced upon US that of
all human governments the free govern
ment is the most complex, and, judg-
ing from the worlds experience, the
most uncertain and short-lived. [
beg to assure Mr.. Wilson, of West
/ Virginia, that the government of, the
United States, resting, as it does, upon
the free will of a free people, is safe
and secure-quite as secure as the gov
ernments that are conducted by the
! titled few. and that a free people like
ours, capable of governing themselves,
and having so demonstrated for more
than hundred years, will be alert
enough to see to it that no industrial
policy shall long continue in this
country that will lower the condition
of it's people to the level Of their
European rivals and rob them of their
dignity and independence"

New York, Sept. 2S-The following
dispatch was received by the World
from John L. Sullivan relative to
Fitzsinmons' challenge to Corbett:
Washington, Sept 2S-If Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett were brought to-
ecther, you would see the hottest fight
In years. But / do not believe that
.Corbett wants to fight. He is making
money fast and he does not want to
take any chances. / dc not care to ex-
press any opinion as to the result if
the two men were matched; but it
would be a fight, and no mistake.
fitzsimmons is no quicker than Cor
bett, but he knows all the fine points
Of the game. The difference in weight
would not make such a great differ
ance as many people imagine. L would
like TO see Corbett and FitZsimmons
meet. Corbett would have work to do
IN that fight. do not see how he can
get away from Fitzsimmons' chal-
lenge, unless he wants to admit that
he does not care to fight.

Raised a Nice Point.

H. M. Wells acceptance of the nomi-
nation as delegate to the constitutional
convention has raised a nice point of
law and one upon which all of the local
legal lights do not agree. The city at
torney, his assistant and several other
members of the legal fraternity take
the position that the gentleman is no
longer a member of the board Of public
works, his failure to decline the nomi-
nation having been practically a resig-
nation of the office. The gentlemen
base their opinion upon the territorial
statute creating the board Of public
works, which says that the acceptance
by any member of a nomination to
office creates a vacancy in the board
and the ruling of the city attorney is
that the board with vacancy cannot
legally transact any business. The
entire case hinges upon the word office
and several of the members of the bar
hold that the delegateship to the con-
vention is not an office in the meaning
of the law, although the delegates will
receive compensation for their SER
vices.
Mr.. Wells stated last night that he
was not yet ready to say just what he
will do in the matter, but he filed his
usual place in the meeting of the board
of public works at the meeting yes
terday afternoon.

A Butte Man Discovers Rela-
tiveS Living in Salt
Lake.
SEPARATED FOR
HALF A CENTURY.
TRUE STORY OF THE "WILD AND
WOODY WEST.
Instead of Being Alone in the World,
He Supposed, John Courcey
Has a Myriad of Relatives in or
Near Salt Lake City-A Queer
Chain of circumstances.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 2s.-[Special.l J.
A few months ago John Courcey, a
hotel keeper at Barker, Mont, and well
known throughout the state, applied
to an attorney to assist him in secur-
ing a pension, to which he was enti-
tied by reason of his having been a
soldier in the Mexican war, as well as
a veteran in the late civil war. In
the course of the business he gave his
attorney a sketch of his life, which
contained some interesting particulars.
His father and mother lived in New
York in 1882 and his father was one
of the victims of the cholera plague,
which devasted the country about that
time. AfterWard his mother went to
live in Connecticut. When about IA
years of age, Courcey ran away from
home and went to driving horses on a
|canal in New York state. After fol-
lowing this business for about six
months he returned to his home, only
to find that in the meantime his moth
Ier had become a convert to Mormon
ism, and followed the Prophet Joseph
Smith to Nauvoo, Ill., The lad fol-
flowed his mother to that place, work.
ing his way by slow stages, only to
learn on his arrival there that the
Mormon colony had been dispersed,
and as near as he could learn. had
gone to Council Bluffs, Ia. He fol-
lowed them to that place, and then
learned that the Mormons had taken
their departure into the unknown will
|derness, as it was then called, and af-
terward he heard of the founding of
Salt Lake He, however, gave up all
hope of ever seeing his mother again,
and went to work on a river steam
boat, finally enlisting in the Mexican
war. and again with the Union troops
in the civil war. At the close of the
war he came west and located in
Montana, where he has been ever
since.
When his attorney heard the story
he suggested that Mr.. Courcey might
obtain some news of his mother by
writing to one of the Mormon elders in
Salt Lake city, and he did so. The
communication was inserted in Salt
Lake paper and during the last week
no less than a score of letters were re-
ceived from children, grandchildren and
other relatives of the lost woman. From
the tenor of these letters it appears that
on arriving in Salt Lake, Mary Cour-
cey, the mother, married Mormon and
had a considerable family, many OF
whom are now well-to-do and prornin-
ent people in the territory. The moth
er is still alive, although "a years OF
age and Mr. Courcey finds that in
stead of being alone in the world, as
he supposed, he has scores Of relatives
in Utah He will leave in a few days
for Salt Lake to meet his mother after
having lost her for fifty-two years, and
make the acquaintance of a host OF
relatives through her second marriage

st. Louis, Sept. 2S.-Dan Creedon, the
vanquished middleweight, returned
from New Orleans tonight.
"Fitzsimmons is not a fair fighter"
said he. Five minutes before / went
into the ring 1 got note from Jimmie
Carroll, telling me to watch out that
Fitzsimmons did not strike me with
his wrist over the head, and that he
depended upon that trick to win his
fights. Carroll brought Fitz out here
and knows all about his methods. It is
an old trick, one frequently used in
Australia, and ] have been cautioned
myself about using it. You can daze
or stun a man with a blow with the
wrist on the side of the head, where if
you punched with your fists you would
not hurt him. Fitz worked this blow
on me in the last part Of the first
round. 1t was as If / had been hit with
club.
Just now, all I want to do is to get
on fight with middleweight and re-
deem my reputation. If any Of them
think I'm mark. I'll give them an
opportunity to show it."

his dressing room and in answer to a
query on the subject Corbett handed
the newspaper man a copy Of a letter
mailed to Bob Fitzsmmons this eve
ming:

amusing challenge to me- You say the

don't you put it up in some newspaper
office. or some place where a man can
see it. or is the Olympic club backing
you?
"However that's neither here nor

else might cover il. IT is not necessary

yourself a champion heavyweight and

edge that as a middleweight you have
no equal, but all you ever did in the

That New Patrol Wagon.

The new police patrol wagon, manu-
featured by Oblad & Knight, will be
set up this morning and during the
fair it will be on exhibition in the manu-
facturers' department. Itsis one of the
handsomest vehicles that ever graced
the streets of this city and is all of
home-manufacture The wagon is of
the latest pattern and will carry fifteen
people. 1t is open, with seats on each
side and a brass hand rail at the back
of each. The body of the vehicle is
painted cherry red, with the words
police PATROL on the sides and the
gear and wheels are yellow, handsomely
striped. When placed in service the
wagon will be drawn by the two horses
now in use by the department. but it
is the intention of the commission to
purchase another and lighter team in
the near future. Although made at
home and of as handsome finish as any
similar job turned out by eastern manu-
facturers, the wagon has cost less than
the imported.
