THREE TOO MANY.
Almonds Objection to Being a Much
Married wOman's Husband.


Married WOman's Husband.
Seattle, June 28.-John Almond,
Tacoma mining man, we'll known on
the Pacific slope, seems to have a just
cause of grievance against a woman he
married, if his story be true. About a
year ago, Almond, who is rich and 45
year old, met a pretty widow named
Scott, in Tacoma, and learning from
her own lips that her husband was
dead, proposed, was accepted, and the
couple were duly married. Later ALL
mond found that he was the woman's
fourth husband, and that the other
three were living-one in Scotland,
and one in British Columbia, while the
whereabouts of the third were un-
known.
Almond applied for and got di'
vorce, and then went to Montana. Last
April he received a dispatch from his
much-married ex-wife that son had
been born to him. He returned to TIA
coma to embrace the son and see thai
he was properly cared for. Since then
however, Almond says he has come
into possession of evidence to show
that the woman has endeavored to in
volve the estate. He also denies tn,
infant, and will ask the court for al
order disinheriting the chill said to b.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT IN CHICAGO
steps Taken to Stop It's Direct Sale to

Steps Taken to Stop It's Direct Sale to
the Peddlers.
Chicago, June 90. = South Water
street had another Sensational develop
ment yesterday in the fight begun by
the Fruit Buyers Association recently
to stop California growers from selling
fruit to the peddling trade at the auc-
ton houses.
A meeting of the association was
held and plan formulated whereby a
new auction house and fruit exchange
will be established and kept within
control of the association. A license
to incorporate the new association has
been secured, and a meeting to elect
officers and board Of directors will be
held July 8. A representative has been
sent to California to confer with grow
ers, and from six to ten agents will be
placed in different parts of the state.
The new combine will be one of the
most gigantic ever formed on the fruit
trade of the West.
The Greek and Italian peddling class
will not be allowed within the doors of
the new exchange, but what the fruit
buyers call reputable merchants will
have free access.
Nearly all large fruit firms, as well
as the grocers, are back of the new en-
terprise, and abundant capital is said
to be forthcoming to give the concern
practically a control of the disburse.

Crow Indians to Celebrate.

nations birthday. For several years
the Crows have held annual reunions

the independence of the United States,
is not conducive to any betterment of
condition. The Indians learning of
the opposition of the great father.

large numbers, believing this may be
their last opportunity to get together

A Correspondent in a Dungeon.

Boston, June 27.-Frank R. Wood
ward, correspondent in Cuba for a
New York newspaper, is in a Spanish
dungeon for visiting an insurgent
camp. He was under surveillance and
tried to escape on the British steamer
Ely, which has arrived here from
Banes, Cuba, but the Spanish guards
recognized him and then thrust him
into prison. He is to be taken to Glib
ara for trial.
Woodward arrived at Banes from the
interior, June 16, the day before the
Ely sailed. His horse was nearly dead
from fatigue. and both man and horse
were covered with mud. This was
what aroused Spanish suspicious, and
Woodward was very i'll. He had a lot
of notes detailing the strength and
movement of the rebels. The Spaniards
took them.
Woodward asked Captain Donovan
to Immediately notify the press of the
United States so as to bring his arrest
to the notice of the state department,
for he feared the papers the Spaniards
seized will be used against him.
The Spaniards, it is understood, will
charge him with being rebel officer
trying to escape to the United States.
Woodward told the officers of the
Ely that there were II 900 rebels about
Holguin. There was rumor in Banes
when the Ely left, that two Other
United States correspondents had beer
arrested near Santiago. The authori
ties have ordered all correspondents tt
leave the country Immediately.

The New German Ampassador DOES :
believe His Government Will
Issue a Call Immediately.

Washington, June 81. - There is
apparently considerable confusion as to
the prospects of an international con-
ference to consider the rehabilitation
of silver to be called on the initiative
of Germany. This is due to the con-
fiicting reports that have been re-
ceived, also apparently to the compll-
cations of the question as it presents
itself in Germany. Those who have
given attention to the progress OF silver
in Germany say that Chancellor Won
Hoehenlohe announced in the begin
ming that Germany's action in the
matter would depend upon two circum-
stances. The first of these was that
the German legislative bodies instruct
| for the issuance of call, and second,
that there should be a substantial
agreement among the powers as to the
terms of the call. The latest report
makes it apparent that majority OF
the federal governments want Germany
to issue the call for it. 1t is under
stood now that, accepting this action OIL
the part of different states in the light
of an instruction, the chancellor viii
proceed to negotiate with other powers
as to the terms of the call. The United
States has made known its wishes II
this respect, so far as the Legislative
part of the government can act, in pro
viding for the appointment of dele
gates. In this resolution, provision
was made that the United State
should be represented only in case tn
conference should be called to provid
for restoration of bimetalism. Whel
the question was before the Prussia
diet, an effort was made by Chancello
Won Hohenlohe to amend the resolution
so as to leave out the requirement
that the call should be on these lines
but it failed. If the other federal Gel
man states have taken the same posi-
ton, the chancellor. it is said, vii

on basis of the return to the bimeta.

Ionths, the treasury re-
Current month will ex-
Iced tllo penditures. Today the,
treasury balance sheet for the month
shows surplus instead of deficit, and
as the expenditures are usually light
toward the end Of the month, it is re-
garded certain that the surplus will
continue to grow from now until July
/. The treasury is $46, 623,211 behind
in the matter Of receipts and expendi-
lures for the current fiscal year, and in
the intervening days between now and
July 1, it is not unlikely that more
than 81 900, 900 of this deficiency will
be made up, 30 that the years balance
sheets will probably show that the ex-
penditures for the year were about
$45, 900, 900 greater than the receipts.
Today's statement of the condition
of the treasury shows:
Available cash balance, $191 ,931,-
$50; gold reserve, SLOT, 447,88
1t is assumed that the bond syndi-
Gates last deposit covers the entire
amount due under the contract. 1t is
thought this deposit of nearly 81, 000,-
900 was made by the syndicate in do
mestic gold in order to save interest.
This domestic gold of course will be re-
placed by importations within the next
few days, when the formal transfer of
bonds will be made.
AS to the question whether the obi
cation of the bond syndicate to use its
best efforts to protect the treasury from
Withdrawals Of gold for export, ceases
ON the deposit of the full amount of
gold called for by the contract, Assist
Secretary Hamlin declined to ex-
press an opinion. From other officials,
however, it is learned that it was the
understanding with the syndicate at
the time the contract was made that
the obligation was to continue until
October /. The question, however
has not been formally raised, nor is il
thought that it will be raised. NJ
doubt is expressed in any administra
tive quarter, that, independent OF thu
assumed contract obligation, the syn
dictate will find it to its personal inter
est to continue to exercise its influence
to protect the treasury gold. Unde
normal conditions the movement o
gold usually beigns to set toward tn
United States about the middle of Au
gust, or before, and even under presen
conditions the officials confidently OK
pect that within the next very fey
weeks the pressure from abroad will b
very much relieved.

Late Department Pleased With the
New China Line.

|
~ New China Line.
ashington, June 27.-Officers OF
tate department, and in fact, the
w department as well, are very
auch pleased over the reports that
|there will be a new line of ships put
on the Pacific, which will increase our
trade with the Orient. Efforts have
ben made from time to time through
sdur consular officers to secure informal
ton which would result in securing
for us an increased trade with CHINA
and Japan, but up to the present time,
the reports from these officers snow
that the methods adopted by American
merchants have not been such as to en-
courage trade with the peoples of the
far East. Besides it is also found that
the transportation lines, being almost
exclusively in the hands of foreigners,
it is natural that no very large amount
of United States goods will bes trans
ported and sold in these countries.
A new line of steamers connecting
with two great transcontinental roads,
all under the same management, will,
it is believed, by those who have in
vestigated the matter, result in greater
trade with America. A gentleman OF
the state department who has travelled
through China and other Eastern coun-
tries, says that the new line, as pro-
posed by Mr.. James ]. Hill, must sure
ly result in enlarged United States
trade with the East. State department
officials are naturally interested in see
ing trade with the far East increase,
especially as two treaties, one with ia
pan and the other with China, have
been negotiated and ratified by the de-
partment. Both of these were com
mercial treaties and had for their OBJ
iect the extension of trade with thes'
countries.
} 1t has come to be recognized fact
beyond dispute, that, until the N1car
aqua canal is built, the trade with thu
/ Orient must be from the Pacific coast
) 1t is believed that, owing to the bette
, routes of the Northern transcontinenta
, lines, that this trade, so far as it is t.
