CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
Clerk Kerr Has Begun Their Consideration.
 Twenty-Nine in All.


 Washington, Aug. 25.-Clerk Kerr of the house of representatives has begun the consideration of contested election cases in the Fifty-fourth congress re- maining on his docket, but there is little probability of anything being done about the expiration of the time limit within which proceedings in a contest may be prosecuted There are twenty-nine con tested cases in all, and of these but four remain to be disposed of so far as the clerk of the house is concerned.
 On the 18th of this month the case of Beatty vs. Brice, Third Louisiana dis trct, was taken up, but indefinitely post poned, because the testimony had not been completed and the ninety days with in which all testimony must be taken had long since expired. The case of Colman vs. Buck, Ninth Louisiana district, will be called tomorrow in the office of the clerk. Neither of the two other cases will be considered by the clerk. In the case of Belknap vs. McGann, Third Illinois district (Chicago) not a paper was re- ceived in Washington until last week. the postponement of action in Chicago having been due to an agreement be- tween the parties.
 The same condition of affairs is found in the case of J. Murry Mitchell vs. James J. Walsh, in the Eighth New York dis lilCt. 4NO pdpeIS lidNt Detll Hieu ana the only record of a contest with which the officers of the house are acquainted are newspaper accounts. Congress, however, can deal with the subject as it deems best, and if the precedents of the past are followed, the testimony in these cases will be ordered to be printed. In but one of the twenty-five cases considered by the clerk has the brief been filed, and this came in Monday. This is the contested case of John I. Rinaker (democrat vs. Finiese Dowsing (republican), in the Sixteenth Illinois district

"IT'S AN OLD STORY"
Said Acting Secretary McAdoo of the Tam
 ative Flag Incident.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-"That's an old story said Acting Secretary McAdoo to- day, when shown .jte published dispatch that Commander Thomas Perry of the United States gunboat Castine had de- clined to salute the French flag at Tama- tave, Madagascar, where he had gone in connection with the case of Ex-Consul Waller. A report came from the com mander on the. incident some time ago. but the department has neither approved nor disapproved of his course, although it is probable that silence in this instance met indorsement It appears from Com nander Perry's relart that there was some friction between himself and the French officials over his inquiries into the Waller matter, the French resenting his official dealings '""th the native. or Hovas authorities. The United States have never recognized the French pro- tectorate over Madagascar.

MARITAL TROUBLES.

a Once Wel1-J .nown Society Woman
sues for Divorce.
PERRY (Oka.). Aug. 22.-Mrs. Maude
Parker, once well-known society
woman of Chicago, tiled suit for divorce
from Everett L. Parker in the District
Court at Newkirk.
Mrs. Parker says she and Everett
Parker were married in Chicago in \ O.
vem Der. 1892. and she thought before the
marriage that he was rich. The next
morning after the marriage Mrs. Parker
alleges that her husband requested q loan
CT some money OF her. and to her great
astOniShment she learned that he was
pennilesss. and she lett him. Mrs.
Parker came 10 Oklahoma and procured
some valuable property. After three
months stay in Perry she brought suit
for divorce against Parker in the Probate
Court.
While this suit was pending Mrs. Par
ker met Il. L. Brook, an English lord,
fresh from London, who ls rich, and
whose income from an estate left him in
the Last is from 1900 10 5000 yearly.
1t was a case of love at first sight. Mrs.
Parker obtained divorce in the Probate
Court, but very soon the Supreme Court
of Oklahoma decided that divorces grant

Everett Il. Parker. the husband. then
appeared on the scene, having been, he
said, looking for his wife for more than a
wear. He swore out W arrants for the ar
rest of Lord Brook and Mrs. Parker, and
after q weeks trial the case was dis
missed, and it was said money settled it.
New trou ble now arose. A difference
in Mrs. Parker's testimony led to her in
dictment for perjury. Lord Brook was
indicted for selling whisky by wholesale
without license. Besides, the court and
people were getting after the unhappy
pair for living together as man and wife,
so Lord Brook and the woman went to
smother city and were secretly married.
Then warrants were sworn out charging
them with bigamy. So Lord Brook and
the woman skipped to British Columbia.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Parker secretly
came back for divorce from Parker

TACOMA LAND COMPANY.
The Capital Increased to a Million
Dollars.

Dollars.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. pa largely
attended meeting Of stockholders OF the
Tacoma Land Company was held to-day
to consider the question OF increasing the
indebtedness of the company to 81, 100000.
Over 1000 votes were represented by
proxy, and about three score of the Sc
curity-holders attended in person.
Lawyer John c. Built was presiding
officer, and after briefly pointing out the
object of the meeting he read statement
outlining the items for which it was pro-
posed TO apply the new capital. There
was not a dissenting voice against the
proposition, stockholders voting unani-
mously in its favor. 1t was explained
by c. b. Wright, President of the COM
pany, that not more than $3.50. 900 would
be needed at present. and the balance
would only be called for as necessity re-
quired. The money. it was explained, is
TO be used partly for settling with the
United States Government for the pur-
chase of 40 acres of land adjoining the
city of Tacoma, the deal for which was
closed six weeks ago, and portion to be
used 10 pay tor erecting and buying sew

MILLIONS OF GOLD.
Yellow Bullion shipped to the Phiia-

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-The Phila-
delphia Mint has received another ship
ment of $40. 900 in gold from the New
York Assay Office. Half of the amount
arrived yesterday afternoon and the rest
to-day 1t was all in the form OF bullion.
The gold is not needed for the current
coinage of the mint, but it will be later
on. and the facilities for storing it are
probably better here than in New York.
The mint is coming mostly subsidiary
coins just now, there being more demand
for them than anything else. Quarters
and half-Gollar pieces were turned out to-
day. Some gold coins are being coined,
but not many. Those made lately have
been half-eagles. and nearly a half-mill-
ion coins of that character are now cut
ready TO be stamped. The coming ol
eagles will soon begin, and later on
double eagles will be turned out.
The press for use at the Atlanta Expo
sition in coming souvenir medals has

San Francisco Evening Post
The late Metropolitan Hall mass meet
ing seems to have acted little hastily.
One of the resolutions proposed and
adopted called for an investigation of the
circumstances under which the lately
pending charge against c. p. Huntington
was dismissed in the i United States Courts.
To carry out the plan. committee of
prominent local attorneys was named and
instructed to take the task in hand.
1t was herein that those responsible for
what was done seem to have gone little
too far. No trouble appears to have been
taken to ascertain whether the gentlemen
named on the committee were willing TO
act.
1t now appears that some Of them at
least are not.
Judge John Currey was appointed as
one of the members of the committee.
How he regards the honor thus thrust
upon him is made clear in statement
furnished by him this morning. 1t
was given in reply to a question as 20
what action he proposed to take in the
