Special to The Heraldl

Washington, D. c., June 5.-There
was a decided stir among the promin-
ent Republicans now in the city when
appeared to be good authority, that
Senator-elect Ell1ins had come out flat
footed for Harrison for the presidential
nomination, and that Mr.. Depew had
Endorsed the decision, saying the ex-
president would also be his first
choice.
For six months. Mr.. Elkins has
avoided saying who he thought should
receive the nomination, merely allud-
ing to the record of Harrison in his
past administration, and remarking
that presidential candidate should
not be picked out so long in advance
The announcement Of Mr.. Elkins' posi-
tive declaration in favor of Harrison's
candidacy, is more important in view
of the position of the West Virginian
in the nominating conventions of the
Republican party. Mr.. Elkins played
a prominent part in nominating Blaine
in "a and in 'SS. When it was seen that
Mr.. Blaine's nomination was hopeless.
Elkins helped to turn the tide toward
Harrison and cleverly manipulated his
campaign in the convention. Among
the Republicans, are now a number
who look upon the Depew harmony
dinner as simply Harrison-booming in
disguise. They say that Mr.. Elkins has
long intended announcing the candi-
dacy of Harrison, and that he has
been carefully laying his plans in or
der to lessen McKinley's influence in
office. 1t is asserted that he lent his
influence to the Foraker forces in
Ohio, in order to lessen the influence
of Mckinley, and his purchase of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is
quoted as an evidence of the art with
which he prepared his plans. And this
papers advocacy of Harrison's candi-
dacy, it is expected, will shortly be
vigorous. AS the leading Republican
not only in Ohio, but of the
region included in the states of Indi-
ana, Tennessee, West Virginia and
Kentucky, also, the Commercial Gaz-
cites influence is expected to be very /
potential.

AIarti Dead Again.

Havana, Cuba, June 5.-The government
authorities have information of an ex-
petition from Dauphin Island and other
places in the bay of the Mississippi river,
which is being fitted out with consider
able armed force to aid the rebels here.
The United States authorities at Wash
ington and the Spanish legation there
have been notified and are informed of all
the movements Of the expedition and the
names of the ships in use. The authori-
ties also have their eyes upon some sus-
pIcioUs movements about Mobile. Ala.
In reply TO direct inquiries, the acting
captain general says there is no truth
whatever in recent reports that Marti is
still alive. He says the corpse of Marti
has been identified beyond the slightest
question. No news concerning Maxine
Gomez has been received since May 20,
the day of the fight at DOsbidS where
Marti was killed, and Gomez reported
wounded. The acting. captain. general
says that the reports that Narti is alive
are being circulated by Cubans for the
express purpose of keeping up the courage
of people interested in the expedition now
rendezvousing at Dauphin Island.

concerning the desperate condition pre-
Vailing is as fellows:
The war expenses of 1S6S-7S were paid by
Cuba. Spain furnished 2l2,56l men, but
not a single dollar.
cuba was loaded with nearly $500, O00, GOO
DEBT, besides yearly budget or S9S Oo0, 600
III those ten years General I4ovellar de
clared in the Spanish cortes that the war
expenses had been 100000, 900, or an aver
age of $50, 000, 200 a year.
Sugar produced then with slave labor
was sold at 65<. cents a pound The to-
bacco industry was in such a HouriShing
condition that the minister of the col
onies, Romero Robaledo, called the build
ing of the factories palaces. Leaf to-
bacco was sold 100 per cent. above to-
days prices. Per contra sugar sells to-
day at at 1SG cents a pound, or 80 per
cent. below the cost of production, and is
pressed to its last ditch by German beet
sugar.
The tobacco industry is ruined beyond
redemption by a tariff war. Leaf does
not pay the cost of labor at today's
prices. The production of Cuba this year
viii be: Sugar, $52. 900, 600; tobacco, $l2 00o,-
S49,OO000e: deficit, $45, GO0OOO.
Expenses: Budget $26,5000O0; extra
octroi tax, S3,5OO0f0 imports, $55 100000;
municipal budgets. S10,000,000; extra war
expenses at least $19,0OO,OG0; total, S94,-
100000.
A 10000 deficit is the last straw on
the camefs back. The budget of 1894
was closed with a $6,0O0,OO0 deficit and
sugar sold then at 2.625 cents pound,
while this year it sells at 1.o6 cents d
pound.

st. Louis Leaves New York For
Liverpool.
New York, June 5.-The American
line steamship st. Louis left her pier
at the foot of Fulton street promptly
at IL O'Clock this forenoon, to enter
upon her first voyage across the ocean.
She carried the full number of cabin
and saloon passengers for which she
has accommodations. Among the pas
sengers were the following: Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry E. Abbey, Colonel A f.
Affolter, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bran

on the st. Louis are Thomas Kinsey,
purser; r. Lloyd Parker, surgeon, and
James Farrell, chief steward
A heavy fog enveloped the river and
harbor, which prevented the greeting
of the st. Louis by steam and sailing
vessels as she passed out toward the
ocean, such as she would have re-
ceived had the atmosphere been clear.

INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
Chauncey NJ. Depew's Opinion as to
the Practical Results,


New York, June 5.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew was asked last night for his
opinion regarding the practical effect
of the international railway congress,
which is soon to convene in London,
and said:
'tAll congresses are practically uni
ers meet in congress and the Result is
seen in the improvements which SUBJ
sequently come in the curriculum and
general character of educational inSti-
tutionS of all kinds. Anybody who is
in touch with the educational progress
of the country must have noticed a
distinct liberalization of the college
curriculum and an enlargement of the
college opportunity.
AT the approaching international
congress in London, railway men of all
countries will meet, each thinking that
his method of operation for speed,
safety and economy is the best But
the oldest and most egotistic railroad
man there will learn something which
will be useful to him when he gets
home. For the delegates themselves
this congress is the best thing in the
world. A man who runs for more than
five years. up and down on a railroad
line, lives in a tunnel first without
light and next without air-at least
good air. To retain usefulness one
must enlarge his learning by travel
visiting other lines and by contact
with his brethren from the other sys-

which has been before the local courts
for some time, was finally determined to
day by the court of appeals. the COM
missioner of pensions coming out victor
lous, though the probabilities are the

court of the United States. About a year
ago Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
caused the pension of Judge Long to be
reduced from SIS to $50 per month. Sub
Sequently the case came before Judge
Bradley of the district supreme court,
and he decided in effect that the COM
missioner of pensions had no authority
to reduce the pension. The court of APP
peals today reversed that decision, hold
ing that a pension Is not a vested right,
by the act of December Il, 1898; that the
courts cannot interfere in matters of this
KIND, and that the commissioner had a
perfect right to review the acts of his
Predecessors.

FINCH'S THREAT.
1t Causes the DistiIIeries to Be Put
Under IL Heavy Guard.

Chicago, June 5.-The threat of
Thomas Finch, jr., one of the owners
of the Shufeldt distillery, that he
would attempt to take possession of
the plant should the supreme court
forfeit the charter of the whisky trust,
has caused Receiver McNulta to take
precautionary measures.
Deputy United States Marshal Hugh
Curran was placed in custody of the
distillery, and half dozen employees
were sworn in as special deputies
The receiver called on the marshal at
the same time to send a special deputy
to take custody of the Riverdale and
the Calumet distilleries. Employees
from each will be likewise sworn in as
special deputies. The call on the mar
shall was made under the order of
Judge Showalter, of a month ago,
when the thirteen deputies were sent
to Peoria.
The Chicago men have returned from
Peoria and the employees of the dis
tillerieS there have been made special
dDutieS.

Foreclosure Suit ut Tacoma
brings it Out.

brings it Out.
Tacoma, Wash, June 5.-In attempt
ing to foreclose the 81, $3.50, 900 mortgage
against the Tacoma Railway and Mo-
tor company, the New York Guaranty
Indemnity company has encountered
the Armours, of Chicago, who have
set out, according TO the statements
of the local stockholders, to either COM
plete a compromise or show up the
alleged street railway wrecking meth
DDS of the General Electric company.
incidentally the suit has brought out
a misappropriatiOn of 1855, 900 of the
local cOmpany'S bonds by Paul
Schulz, who committed suicide when
his creditors pushed him to the wall.
The Armours became interested in the
local street railway company several
years ago, when it had $3.50, 900 in cap
100000 in bonds and disposed of 81, $780,
and Indemnity company. The Ar
mours are innocent stockholders and.
not being represented in the issue of
bonds, claim the bond issue was excess
sive and unwarranted. In placing
these bonds it is alleged Shulz made
use of a dummy syndicate.
Another feature of the deal was the
of a suburban railway for
$3.50, 900 when it was valued at but $780,
900. besides turning over to the seller
a bonus of $141, 600. All this, the Ar
mour stockholders claim, was done in
collision, and with a, view of General
Electric company to wreck the local
street RAILWAYS

Admiral Kirkland, in replying, said
that he and his officers had been much
impressed with the reception they had

FOR A SONG.
STATE SENATOR DAVEY GETS A

Pays $4,000 For What is Probably
Worth Half "a MiIIion-Boise Coun-

(Snecial to The Herald.o

Boise, Ida, June 5.-By virtue of the
expiration of the period of redemption,
State Senator Dewey today came into
possession of valuable mining property,
near Silver City, for very small sum OF
money. 1t is the Seventy-nine mine,
which has produced considerable money.
and in view of the recent developments
in the Black Jack, which joins the Seven
ty-nine it is believed the Senator's new
property is worth in the neighborhood of
100000. The property was owned by Will
liam B. Knott. He owns 2, large amount
of mining property, but litigation extend
ing over a period Of years has made him
a poor man. Trouble arose over the Sew
enty-nine and Dewey and his partners
brought a suit involving the title to the
Knott property. Knott borrowed 1880
from a Boise man, which he never re-
turned, and judgment was secured.
Dewey bought the mine at sheriff's sale
for a little over $1,000. AS he was the
principal party to the suit, the title is
quieted, and he comes into the possession
of one of the best properties in the state
for song.
County Indebtedness.
An interesting question has arisen with
reference to funding the county indebted
ness. Under the law passed by the last
legislature, provision was made for float
ing bonds to redeem the outstanding war
rants. Many counties have advertised for
bids for the bonds, and now the question
is raised as to the validity of the act.
Provision is made for floating the bonds
by order of the board of commissioners,
and also by vote of the people. Most
counties have not submitted the question
to the voters, and it is contended that no
bonds can be issued under the constitu
ton without submitting it to the voters.
The lawyers are divided on the question.
but the bonds will be offered for sale in
order that the matter may get into the
courts. 1t is said over one million dollars
of bonds are involved.

City to visit a few days with his family

OF course there are any number
rumors afloat regarding appointments

course there is nothing to them but
mere speculation. The best posted
ones, however, think that P. c. Slater

headquarters at st. Paul will go in as
traffic manager. The same ones pick
c. r. Berry, of st. Joseph, for gen

The last named has already denied
that there is any ground for the talk
concerning him, but he is being dis
cussed just the same.
