BLUE FOR DEMOCRACY
MIR. HoLMAN's VIEW or THE OUT
LOOK FOR HIS PARTY.
He Says Cleveland Blundered I'm CALI
ing nm Extra session or Congress
10 Consider Financial Questions.

WASHINGTON, April 14--Ex-Congress-
man Holman, of Indiana, who has been
known and recognized as one OF the lead
ers OF the Democratic party for nearly
a generation, was interviewed by your
correspondent to-day. He expressed him
self almost hopeless CT victory for his
party in the next national contest. Mr..
Holman said that the most fatal mistake
made by the present administration was
in calling an extra session Of the last Con-
gress lie said: Two fatal mistakes have
been made by party administrations in the
history of our government. The first was
by the William Henry Harrison administra-
ton in 1871. An extra session of Congress
was called and 1t met in 1Si1. That session
had not entered upon it's work before
President Harrison died. Then Vice Presi-
dent Tyler became President and the re-
suit was the destruction of the Wing party.
On the 7th of August, 1893. President Cleve-
land summoned Congress in extra session
and made the financial question the one
and only issue before the Congress and the
people. What has been the result? Why,
the Democratic party has been denoralized,
il not destroyed. do not mean to convey
the idea that the Democratic party has
been or is capable of being destroyed, but
while the principles of our party must sur
vive as long as the system of government
founded by the fathers lives, the result
may be a change of name and a reorganiza-
ton.
"Do you know" queried Mr.. Holman,
seriously, that Secretary Carlisle abso-
lutely refused to consider the suggestion
of temporary loan as the best and easiest
means of helping the government out of
it's difficulties, Mr. Holman then stated
that during the last Congress many Dem
ocrats proposed that the treasury should
issue notes similar to those resorted to in
1861, as measure of temporary relief He
said that while those notes passed readily
as money they bore no interest and were
not a legal tender. He repeated that Sec
rotary Carlisle refused to listen to any
such plan for even temporary relief of
the treasury. With regard to the next Re-
publican Congress Mr.. Holman said he
rather anticipated that it would become
involved with the tariff. question and thus
help the Democracy; but at the same time.
he said, he would not be surprised to see
that Congress tide over the trouble con-
fronting it by adopting some such measure
as that of temporary loan.

SEARCH FOR CHARLIE ROSS.
Alleged Charities still Continue to Put
i'm an Appearance.
Philadelphia Inquirer.


So many years have passed since Charlie
Ross was stolen from his home in Ger
mantown that the crime is lost to the mem,
DRY of many, but that has not deferred
some people from still making the attempt
to palm off a bogus youth upon the
aort Of ths ad made by
who represented herself as the widow or
one of the two burglars who We're killed Lee,
the house of a judge OF the courts. Inc
woman brought with her a young man,
who, a relative of the boy says, was nat
headed and beetle-browed, and could in no
way have borne resemblance to what little
Charlie would haye been LA, at manno0d. Sn ae
enough-how the two children, Charlie and
Walter, We're decoyed from the lawn OF the
house, at Washington lane and Chew

and Douglass; how they. were driven into

fered for the recovery OF the younger son.
Other facts she seemed familiar. with, but
Many believe the boy to be dead. There
have been hundred or more alleged Char
lies, but in no instance has the father,
who has Travelled all over the country, had
any hope after seeing the alleged child
The secret of his fate probably died with
the Bay Ridge burglars, one of whom ex-
pired Immediately after being shot, while
the other only lived long enough TO say
that his companion had known where the
child was; that the lad was still alive. but
that he himself knew nothing OF his ioca-
ton.
In narrating some of the facts the rela-
tives of the Ross family also shed more
light upon the efforts to find the boy, and
made the important statement that once
when success seemed assured they were
frustrated by one of the police captains
of New York, a man who was charged be-
fore the Lexow committee with having ac-
uuired wealth by the most corrupt means.
1t was there. he said. the kidnapers had
arranged to deliver their prisoner upon the
payment of the $4,000. They had exacted
the condition that Mr.: Ross and those help,
ing him should leave New York upon board
of a special train, locomotive and one
car bound for Albany.
At one point along the road a colored
lantern light was to be waved, and the
money, at shis signal, to be dropped
at the side of the track. Further up the
track there was to be another light shown,
and there the boy was to be delivered to
them According to the relatives story, the
rescuing party took along an expert rifle
man, with the object of manning the kid
naper whoever he might be. and then eff
fecting his capture. They made the trip,
but nothing came of it, No lights were
shown, and no other clew was obtained.
The police captain in question, the relative
says, gave the tip to the thieves that tho
sharpshooter would be board the car.

the country side. was married about two

OIL in WYOMING.

CASPER, Wyo., April 1.-THE rise in the
Standard Oil Company's product in the East
has caused an advance of 2 cents per gallon
at the storage tanks here. Wyoming oil
men are jubiIant over the prospects of
rise in lubricating oil. which is pumped d.
rectly from the wells in these fields in
marketable condition. All Wyoming oils are
finding a ready market, and 1T is expected
their prices will go up with the Standards
To-day a sample run of illuminating oil
was made, and it is beautiful water white,
fully up to the standard test.
There is considerable activity in oil land
holdings, and there are many inquiries from
Eastern capitalists. More attention is now
attracted to the wyoming fields than ever
before it being conceded that they must be
one of this country's final supply points,
AS is evidenced by the present Eastern
shortage The Salt-creek producing wells
now number five. with No. nearly fin

renee H. Moses, of the United States ma
rine corps, is under arrest at the Naval
Hospital. Brooklyn. The order was given
by Commodore Sicard, on t1n complaint

ably he will be court-martialed. None
of the officers concerned will say anything
about the trouble. Lieutenant Moses is a

Designs for War Ships.

WASHINGTON, April H.--The designs
prepared by the construction bureau of the
Navy Department for the new gunboats
authorized by the last Congress have been
submitted to Secretary Herbert. and have
been referred by hin, to the board of bureau
chiefs. which will suggest any needed al
terations before the advertisements for pro-
posals are prepared. The plans for the
two great battle ships are now in the Sec
retarys hands. 1t is expected they will
give rise to some controversy among the
designing officers, owing to the novel fea-
ture of double-story turrets proposed and
the thirteen-inch guns which the Ordnance
Bureau wishes to place on them.

THE INCOME TAX SUIT.
No Probability that 1t VIII Be Con-
sidered Soon by the Court.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE determine
ton of the appellants in the income tax
cases to secure a rehearing before a full
bench of the United States Supreme Court
on the points on which the court divided
has caused a renewal of interest in the
question of Justice Jackson's health and
the possibility of his return to the bench
at an early day. Late advices from Judge
Jackson's home at Nashville are that he is
constantly improving and that, barring
very annoying cough his physical condition
is fairly good. 1t is also stated from the
same source that he expects TO be able
to resume his duties at the beginning of the
October term. There remains only little
more than a month of the present term
and it is not suggested that he may
turn for this brief period. In view of this
fact there can be no possibility of another
argument in the case before next fall
or winter. This is equally true if Justice
Jackson should decide to retire perma-
nently from the bench, which it is UNDER
stood he has no thought of doing In that
be filled before the assembling of Con-
gross. No instance is known when a man
nominated for the Supreme Bench has
taken his seat before he was confirmed
by the Senate. Congress will not convene
until next December, and under no circum-
stances would the Senate be likely to pass
on a nomination of this magnitude until
after the Christmas holidays. Action might
indeed be postponed much longer, and it
probably would be If the predictions of the
nominee should be opposed to the income
tax as the Senate is committed to the law
1t is also suggested that a justice who
had not participated in the first hearing
might feel a delcacy in sitting when the
case was under consideration the second
time. 1t is quite possible that the petition
for rehearing may not be granted. The
courts rule of procedure in such cases
is only to grant such petitions on the
request of a member of the court who has
voted in opposition to the wishes of the
petitioner
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
was asked to-day for his opinion as to
the suggestion of Assistant Attorney-gen-
eral Whitney that the Constitution might
be SO amended as to provide for the inn
position of the direct taxes, and replied:
ITO amend the Constitution it is necessary
to secure q two-thirds vote of Congress
and then to have the amendment ratified
by the State Legislatures. i think it would
be- impracticable to do it. There have
never been any amendments to the Con-
Stitution, except of a negative character
none providing for modes of government
and with the increasing members in both
houses of Congress, and the growth of the
Union in States, 1t becomes more and more
do not think an amendment of the Con-
stitution is needed to secure a valid in
come tax law. 1t can be had by appor-
tioning the tax among the States in pro-
portion to population. and / inclined to
think that since the decision of the Su-
preme Court there will be an effort in
that direction at the next session.
