Secretary Gresham was hung in the diplo-
matte room at the State Department today.

NJ. Pebbles, and the likeness is very pro-

in an easy sitting posture, just turning
from his work, at d desk in the diplomatic
room. His left arm rests or the desktop
and his right drops upon his knee. The
great brown eyes, which were the most
striking feature CT Secretary Gresham's s
countenance, are painted with marvellous
fidelity to nature. The picture was hung on
the west wall, between portraits Of Thomas
Jefferson and VIM. Seward, In place made
ty the removal of Daniel Webster's por-
trait to the east wall alorg gside of Lord
Ashburton. Mr. Pebbles began this picture

NEW HAWAIIAN MINISTER
Nh. Castle Has Been Informally Received
by Secretary 0lney
Call at the State Department Which
Has Caused Considerable
Gossip.

Mr.. Castle, the newly appointed minister
from Hawaii, has been informally received
by Secretary Olney for the transaction of
all routine diplomatic business between the
two republics, pending his formal official re-
ception by the President. The new minister
arrived in this country several weeks ago,
but in the absence from the capital of the
President and the Secretary of State he
then made no attempt to present his Gre
dentials. Since his arrival in the east he
has spent most Of his time in Massachu-
setts in close communication with Mr.
Hastings, who has been in charge of the af-
fairs of the Hawaiian legation in the Uni
ted States ever since the resignation of Min
lister Thurston as result of personal differ
ences with the late Secretary Gresham.
Called, but Did Not See Mr.. OIney.
Mr.. Castle called at the State Depart
ment last Tuesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of having Secretary Olney arrange
for his reception by the President. 1t
was about 4 o'clock and the Secretary was
very busy with his mail. and he excused
himself to the minister for that day, sug-
gesting that he call again on the following
Thursday. which is the regular day for
the reception of members of the diplo-
matte corps. This course was followed
but not until after the incident had been
gossiped about in diploma tic circles as in
dicating an apparent lack of cordiality on
the part of the Secretary toward the diplo-
matte representative of the new republic
in the Pacific. 1t was whispered that Mr..
Castle is an ardent annexationist and be-
cause of that fact he is apt to be almost as
Objectionable from an administration
standpoint as was his predecessor, Mr..
Thurston, whose main offense appeared to
have been a consistent patriotic desire to
establish closer political relations between
his country and the United States in order
to preserve the islands from foreign con-
troll under a monarchical form of govern
ment.
Mr.. Castle has taken up his residence at
the legation quarters at 1880 II street.
Several diplomatic representatives, in
Guiding the Spanish and German minis
ters, occupy precisely the same official re-
lation to the United States government that
the Hawaiian II mister does at the present
time. that is they are performing their
diplon attic functions pending their formal
recognition by the President

Arguing the Case of the Baltimore
Election Officials,

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October 5.-The evil
dence in the trial OF the supervisors of cleo
ton. Bians and Cairnes, was concluded
yesterday. and the arguments of the op-
posing counsel are being heard today The
scene has been changed from Sutro Hall
to Governor Browns office, on North
Charles street. The arguments will prob
ably be concluded this evening, but 1t is
not expected that his excellency will render
his decision before Monday. The case has
attracted great attention, and the decision
is looked forward to with much anxiety
by all classes of citizens.
Members of the democratic city COM
mittee are accusing the republicans of Sc
curing the registration of several hundred
negroes who are not entitled to have their
names on the poll books. AS the officers
of registration hold their last sittings next
week both sides are making active prepa-
Iations to get all the names on the lists
that they possibly can. Accusations of
fraud are heard from both parties against
each other, and both are probably guilty
as accused.

1t is asserted that Secretary Olney has
practically decided to allow Mr.. Mora GO
per cent of the Spanish indemnity recently
received by the United States government
in settlement of the Mora claim. Secretary
Olney will not admit the correctness of the
assertion, but he does not say it is not
true. The alleged arrangement is said to
have been made in Consequence of an agree
ment between Mr.. Nora and his former
attorney. Mr.. Nathaniel Paige, who now

G O L D IN AL A S X A
E1-Representative English Tells of the Re-
suit of His Observations
The Territory Needs n System of Law
Without Delay, Particularly I'm
Regard to Land Titles.

Ex-Representative English of California
is in the city. Since the adjournment of
Congress Mr.. English has spent very few
days in his state, but has devoted most of
his time to an investigation of the mineral
resources Of Alaska. Shortly after going
to his home he took passage on a steamer
for the Alaskan coast. taking with him
whale boat fitted up with sails. His son ac-
compaEied him, and he was put ashore
some miles above the boundary between
Alaska and British possessions, and the
two spent four months sailing along the
coast of Alaska, making frequent excur-
sions inland prospecting for gold. They
covered a distance of about one thousand
miles and visited most of the notable mines
of Alaska.
Best Field for Mining.
81 have come to the conclusion said Mr..
English. to Star reporter today, that the
best field for mining in the United States
is in Alaska. There are abundant gold, sill
yer and copper mines there, and am sure
there are just as good mines yet to be dis
covered as any that are now being worked.
One mine visited is taking out 500 tons
of ore a month, and this is from the sur-
face of the ground. The mine is 400 feet
wide, and there is enough ore in sight to
last for ten years.
Il have prospected over the field quite
thoroughly. but prospecting In Alaska is at
tended with great difficulty. In the first
place. during the summer il is raining most
of the time, and the underbrush and great
numbers Of fallen trees make progress very
slow, indeed. We had hatchets, and we
had to cut our way, so that we could go but
a few hundred feet in an hour. In the WIN
ter it SHOWS mcst of the time though the
temperature is not low But notwithstand-
Ing these drawbacks we got over a great
deal of territory, and 1 was well satisfied
with my trip.
A System of Law Needed.
There is one thing that should be done,
and that as soon as possible, with regard TO
Alaska. The territory should be given
system of law. At present it is impossible
to get title to land and any one who takes
up p'land is apt to be put off of 1t at any time.
Congress should not fail to provide sys-
tenn of land laws for Alaska and to give that
country the benefit of representative in
as large as all the rest of the United States
in which many great and growing indus
tries are now thriving and which is abso-
lutely unrepresented In our national legis-
lature. The fishing industry of Alaska is
enormous, and is growing As have said,
the mining industry there is one of the most
promising in this country.
Il may return to Alaska shortly, but have
as yet made no definite plans. That country
has great future, and would like nothing
better than to have gold mine there. /
am satisfied there are plenty there to be had
for the prospecting"
