SPAIN GIVES UP THE GOLD
State Department Notified That
the Mora Draft Is CaShed.
SECRETARY OLNEY'S TASK
Duty of Partitioning 1t Among the
Claimants Delicate ODe-Pending
Suits and Possible Complicat ions.
Suggestion That All Claimants Meet
Here In Conference.

The Mora draft has been paid and the
money is now subject to the order of Sec
rotary Olney.
Less than two weeks ago, on Saturday,
September Ii, the Spanish minister, Dupuy
de LONE, gave the draft on the Spanish fiscal
agent in London, to Acting Secretary OF
State Adee, the time for its delivery accord
ing to the Gemandsmadeb y Secretary Olney.
expiring September 10, which date hap
pened To fall on Sunday.
Secretary Olney returned from his vaca-
ton the following Monday ana took charge
forwarded the draft 10 New York, for trans
mission TO London on the first steamer, and
the prompt way In which 1t wac paid shows
thai there has been no attempt al diplomatic
delay III settling up The account.
This afternoon cabied to the Secretary
announced that the draft " as paid today
and the net proceeds Isl AS, 600 in goldl
placed TO the credit Of the Secretary OF
State in the sub-Treasury OF the United
States at New York.
1t now remains for the Secretary to dis
tribute the sum among l he persons interested
and this seems to be task of some diff.
Guilty, owing 10 the many assignments OF
claims that have been made.
Extending over period of iB enty five
years, aud having passed through the
hands of numerous attorneys, it is 10 be ex-
pected that there would be more or less
of a conflict among claimants. Just what
the Secretary W i'll do has lot yet been de-
lermined --'n'
Two expert clerks have been for some
time docketins these assignments ana get
ting them in shape, ana their TASK is not
completed by any means. When all the
known assignments have been arranged
the Department VIII still be unable TO ray
that no more cXiGt. Meanw lille one suit
in injunction has been begun and others are
threatened.
1t has been suggested that inasmuch as
all these conflicting assignments growing
out OF the 40 per cent set apart for at
torneys' fees and other expenses there is
no reason why Mora, who gets the remain
ing 50 per cent, and who is the chief bene-
ficiary, should not be promptly paid his
share, although he might be required to
give an indemnity bond. This is merely
a suggestion, however, and ma be ignored
entirely by the Secretary
With the threat OF suits impending, a
prominent official this afternoon made
another suggestion which was that an In
vitation be sent all known claimants to
meet in conference and settle their claims
amicably, otherwise the final distribution
may have to drag its weary way through
the courts.

Ended, They Say
The friends OF ex-Fircman wenZel, upon
whose petition for a rehearing Assistant
Attorney Duvall reported adversely have
resolved, las an act of justice, to stand
by Mr.. WenZei," and, 1t is said, there
will be a delegation of 100 citizens to
call on the Commissioners some day. next
week to restate their appeal.
In a letter addressed to the president
of the board and delivered to-day, the re-
port of Attorney Duvall is characterized
as "a tissue of misrepresentation to covn
his own neglect to expose the Injustice
done three young men,"
As stated in The Evening Times of yes
terday, the assistant attorney held that
the findings of the trial board in exoner-
ating Foreman Walsh and stigmatzing Wen

belief were correct, being justified by the
evidence adduced at the investigation.

POOR JACK Is LL-TREATED.


1t is sad commentary on the condition
OF our merchant marine when a govern
ment commission reports that there is
greater brutality practiced on board Ameri-
canvessels than on those of any othernation.
The object in appointing the commission
was to ascertain, II possible, the reason
why our navy could not secure enough
sailors to man its vessels, and the mem
bers Of the commission report as follws
We visited The offices of shipping agents
and both there and along the streets We
found plenty of iGie scamen, W no told us
horrible tales of brutality and hardship,
and on boarding ships We found that the
claims setting forth that the seaInen were
underpaid, oyerw orked, poorly fed, and
used like slaves, " ere altogether too true.
The government know now why the Navy
cannot secure men enough TO man its ships
We proved that there is more brutality
practioed on board American ships than
on those of any other nation, and / an
pleased TO state that our recommendations
and advice were recognized as valuable.
We are ready for big tight, and on
the urst day of the next session of Con-
gress n bill win be introduced by the COM
missioner of navigation, Mr. Chamberlain,
W no has Just returned from a trip 10 Eng
land, made for the purpose of studying the
British system Of protection for sailors,
and VIII do all in his power to secure the
passage Of similar legislation by the next
Congress"
It's commonly believed that the day had
gone by when sailors were dubbed and
starved as pastime for brutal officers,
but it would seem that this cruelty is still
practiced, and that it will not be stopped
until Congress gives US more effective laws
to prevent it. Poor Jacks lot is hard
enough without bis being subjected TO the
treatment of dog, and penalties can not
be made too severe for the punishment of
chose who prosecute him. By all means
let him have better legal protection.

SUMMERS TRIES AGAIN.
Another Suit Entered by Him Against
William Richards.

Another Suit Entered by Him Against
William Richards.
James T. Summers yesterday again sued
William a. Richards and others TO have set
aside sale of personal property. including
scows, tugs and gravel digging machines
made by Mr.. Richards to other defeDdants.
A similar suit was recently brought by
Summers, but the case was dismissed by
Judge Bradley.
The petitioner asked for the removal of
Richards as trustee and receiver and the
appointment of another in his stead. An
accounting from tile defendant named was
also asked for.
Mr.. Summers claims that he made deed
of trust to Mr.. Richards April 81, 1895.
Oh dredges, tugs, scows and other articles
used in ging and removing sand and
gravel, together with the lease of extensive
gravel deposits on the Potomac. A note of
$l3. 270 was thus secured.
At the time of executing the deed Mr..
Richards knew that the complainant had
.ttle funds, but promised to be lenient with
him. AS readily as possible, however, he
cold the property to fictitious buyers, who.
in turn, conveyed 1t to himselE This was
done to deceive Summers and he accuses
Ricia rds of now reaping the benefit of
his alleged fraud.

1.-THE WIFE"
Delightful Repres entatiOn of Til

Delightful Representation of This
FavOrite Society Play.
Be'asco and DeMille's delightful comedy,
1.-THE WIFE," was revived at the National
last night by the Lyceum Company before
u large audience.
The play needed no introduction to the
theater-going public OF Washington. as ii
has been presented here numerous times
by Frohman's admirable organization.
Last nights performance lacked none of
the finish and carefulness in respect TO de-
tail which has always characterized the
company's presentation of the comedy.
Mr.. Kelcey's portrayal of the character
of John Rutherford, the wronged husband.
was finished and cleverly dra wn piece
of work, while Miss Irving's conception of
the wife was both natural and effective.
Messrs. lie Moyne, Hale and Grattan all
have important parts.
The juvenile comedy work of Mr.. Fritz
Williams and the charming ingenue of Miss
Katherine Florence are worthy of mention,
the eclipse scene in the last act provoking
much merriment.
The handsome stage setting given the
play added no little to its effectiveness.
THE Case of Rcbeilious Susan" will be
repeated at the matinee to-day, and the
enga Cement viii be brought to a close
tonight with 1.-THE Charity Ball.

THAT GREAT DANGER,


1t seems strange those In charge of the
work of constructing tho annex to the
Printing Office have only discovered the
great danger to human life through a
collapse of that building. The prosecution
OF Contractor McVaugh has unquestionably
quickened their cons sciences and in state of
feverish alarm they testify thai 2,T0O peo
pie are in imminent danger of being killed.
Had an attempt not been made to punish
contractor. for violating the eight-hour
law, the public would either have con-
tinued to live in blissful ignorance of the
possibility of a horrible catastrophe, or
there would have been an accident to
which the falling of the old Ford Theater
would have compared as the crushing of a
grasshopper does to the sinking of an iron
clad.
If the necessity of completing the annex
is so urgent and if the employees of the
Printing Office are exposing themselves to
such great risk the men in charge OF the
work are guilty of gross neglect of duty,
and should at once make amends by covering
the building with workmen and completing
it regardless of expense and without I'M
necessary delay. But perhaps there will
be less danger now that Contractor Nc
Waugh has been acquitted.
The several failures to convict persons
arrested for violating the eight-hour law
demonstrates plainly that so far as con-
tract work is concerned the law is dead
letter. No expert builder, contractor, or
Wet a contractor against whom iAforma-
ton has been filed, and an emergency can
generally be found to secure an acquittaL

STREET CAR TRANSFERS.

The reported negotiations of the Belt,
lexington and Columbia lines for q system
+ transfers is good news for the people
of Washington. 1t is to be hoped that
the arrangement may be speedily consum-
mated.
Experience has shown that while the
public reaps a large advantage by these
transfers, the railway companies in the
end are, and properly ought to be, the
beneficiaries, for in proportion as they
cheaper travel they increase their patron
age.
This latest arrangement, moreover, is n
step in the direction of a general transfer
system for all lines in the District, which
will still further accommodate the public.

The proposition of The Times to furnish
a sixteen-page newspaper. in two editions,
morning and evening. for fifty cents a
month, is proving exceedingly popular.
In addition 10 this offer subscribers re-
ceive a twenty page Sunday paper, which
is not equaled in the city.
For fifty cents month, or about one
and two-thirds cents a day, readers are
given the morning and evening editions
Of The Times on every weekday, and
on Sunday are furnished with a mammoth
twenty-page paper.
The advantage of publishing a daily
newspaper in two parts is greater than
many suppose. Throughout the world
news events are gathered by the great
press associations and distributed twice
each day, morning and evening. News
papers that publish only one edition
must necessarily give readers either morn
ing or evening news that is stale. The
Times publishes i'll its two editions both
the morning and evening news and de-
livers it fresh as soon as gathered 10 all
its many readers.
Before brea kfast each morning sub
scribcrs are furnished all news. foreign,
domestic and local, of the previous night
in its morning edition, and 10y O'Clock
in the afternoon, the events which have
transpired during the day are laid before
readers in the Evening Times. In this
way Washington people are given a six
teen page paper in two editions, for
fifty cents a month, and the news they
read is always the latest. brightest and
best.
Try the Morning and Evening Times
for one month and you will not find
it necessary to take any other daily news
paper.

THE TIMES STILL LEADS.

fhe Circulation of the Star Is Falling
Off-The Public Knows Its Friend.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was ITO, 477. That of The Times was
213,165, which shows circulation OF
42,6SS more than the Star. Whether or not
this increase is due to the sEarlinG of fiste
dog weekly publications which some one"
has set at the heels of The Times would be
difficultuo determine, but THAT isquite nat
raj inference.
The Times is decidedly the best daily in
Washington, and the more advertising 1t
secures the greater will be its circulation.
Ii is possible to fool the public occasionally
by insinuations and monkey paw abuse, but
when the object of such attacks is really
deserving there can be but one result-an
increase of popularity.

If the administration would remove that

considering the justice of protecting the

reason would present itself for being pre-

The horrible accident on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad near Tunnelton, W. Va,
was doubtless the result of the niggardly
economy that company practices in its
efforts to save money. As is evidenced
by the management of its affairs in this
city, human life is of little value in the
minds of its officials when compared to
dollars and cents, and the time is coming
when the public Will record an indignant
