A Special Grand Jury Will Look
Into the Charges of Cor
ruption.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1.-THE special

cific charges OF conspiracy and solicitation

their go-betweens was impaneled to-day
in Judge TuthilPs court and strongly
charged by his Honor. The jury is COM
posed of twenty three prominent business
and professional men. In his charge
Judge Tuthill said:
'For months past the press of this city
has teemed with charges more or less di-
rect that corruption has existed in the pub
lie legislative body of the city. How much
of truth there may be l do not know.
These charges as made through the press
have reached the stage where special acts
of misconduct and malfeasance in Office
have been charged against particular
individuals. On the representation of the
States attorney that it was for the public
good that special grand jury should be
called, and ON submission by him OF evil
dence to me, / have caused it to be sum-
moned. The only matter to be submitted
to you will be the charge of corruption in
the City Council"
Aldermen Charles Martin and William
Finkler, who are charged with soliciting
bripes from ice companies and conspiring
to pass 'sandbagging" ordinances, de-
cl Jared all such charges false to-day.

GARRISON ON CANDIDATES
Western Republicans, He Says
Will Make a Strong Fight
for Allison.
Defeat of Cleveland'S Third Term
Aspirations Predicted by Colonel
John G. New.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 11.-General
James s. Clarkson of Iowa registered at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel yesterday for the
charge of Senator Allison's Presidential
boom.
Senator Allison has no boom.' he said,
land he is not now a candidate for the
Presidency. There is strong under
current for him throughout the West, and
if his name should go before the National
convention it would be on account of his
friends. If his name appears may add
that his friends will make hot fight for
their favorite."
General Clarkson then turned toward
local politics.
do you know" he said, "that Mayor
Strong and Commissioner Roosevelt are
making more votes for Tammany than
anything Ell Sc could possibly do? 1t is all
right to say that they are enforcing the ex.
else law, and that laws ought to be en-.
forced, but / tell you that when law to
which public sentiment is bitterly opposed
is nforced some one has to suffer.
"All this talk about the Democratic
party being dead" remarked the general,
makes me weary. l want to tell my Re-
publican friends who are preaching all
that kind of doctrine that they're badly
mistaken. The Democratic party that
lived through the rebellion is not dead yet.
Republicans must do something besides
talk such nonsense if they expect the Re-
publican ticket to win next year. While

also believe that the Democracy will give

General Clarkson. Congress has long
session ahead of it before that National
campaign will open. The session may
break some prominent candidates, and it
may make some of whom We do not
hear"
Colonel John c. New of Indiana, ex-
Consul of the United States at London,
sailed on the American liner Paris yester-
day. In an interview he said:
"GroYer Cleveland will not be the
nominee of the Democratic party in 1886.
He has put himself outside of the circle of
men who now control the party and will
have no consideration in convention.
Besides, the third-term business is settled
for good and all. We ended it all at
Chicago in 1884, when General Grant ran.
l was one of the 306, and when we were
beaten the question was ended. The
people think that two terms are enough. !"
What do you think of Whitney,
"W. c. Whitney OF New York is to-day
the strongest candidate the Democratic
party could nominate. He is a man of
ability and is very strong man."
What are General Harrison's plans?"
General Harrison is not talking. He

Colonel New would not talk of either
Reed or Mckinley. but when Senator
Allison's name was mentioned he said:

HERBERT rs SATISFIED.
Americans on the Island Were
Not Endangered by the
Uprising.
GREAT TACT WAS DISPLAYED
Washington Officials Pleased With
the Management of the East
ern Squadron.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 11.-Secre-
tary Herbert to-day received a report from
Admiral Carpenter, commander-in-chie
OF the Asiatic squadron on the flagship
Baltimore, dated at Kobe, Japan, June Is,
explaining to the satisfaction of the Navy
Department why no American ships have
been kept in the neighborhood of Formosa
during the troubles there
'The occupation of Formosa by the
Japanese" writes the admiral, was but
little interfered with by the declaration of
independence by the inhabitants of that
island. A few desultory skirmishes have
taken place and with no actual resistance
of any moment. Minister DENLY, when
informing the commander-in-chie of the
declared independence of Formosa, SUBJ
mitted the propriety of sending vessels
thither. In answer to a telegram inquir-
ing about American interests on the is
land, Mr.. DENLY withdrew his suggestion.
Commander Craig while at Tamsui made
an exhaustive report in regard to the condi-
tions in Formosa. There are no American
citizens there, not even a missionary. The
interests are all in the hands of foreigners
that are DESTROYS of making display of
force, the idea being to assemble as many
vessels of different nationalities as posi-
BILE. The British and German nations are
the only ones represented by men-of-war,
as the business interests are principally in
the hands of citizens of these countries.
The marines and sailors that have been
landed are in sufficient force to afford pro-
lection to all foreigners.
The admiraPs declination to spare any
American warshlp from needed points at
a critical stage of the Chinese-Japanese
troubles, was based on the report of Com
mander Craig of the Concord, who had
visited Tamsui, Formosa, the principal
port, with his ship the first week in May,
for the specific purpose of finding out
whether any American interests were in
volved on the island. Naval officers agree
that Admiral Carpenter has upheld the
dignity of the American flag throughout
his career in the East and has effectually
dispeIled all doubts at one time suggested
of his ability to successfully conduct the
delicate mission assigned to him of COM
handing the largest American fleet ever
assem- bIed in foreign waters during a war
in which the United States occupied the
delicate position of close friendliness to
both com hatants. ,.-s-..

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 11.-Officers
OF the State Bank of Peru, a small town in
Madison County, are here in search of G.
o. Davis, their cashier, who left with, it is
believed, about $4,000.
Davis went to Peru last January with
good letters and was hired by the bank.
On July he said he would go to Newton
to visit friend. He was away several
days and there being no occasion to open
the big safe in which the reserve cash was
kept there was no suspicion. Yesterday
the safe was tried and the combination
found to have been changed. 1t has not
been opened yet.
Davis did not go to Newton. kilograms
from the bank and parties from which his
letters purported to be develop that he was
known to none OF them. He was simply a
huge fraud. No trace can be found of
him. and it is believed he is out of the
country.

Spafn's Displeasure Not Made KnOtCE

Spafr's Dsspleasure Not Made Knotcn
to the State Department.
WASHINGTON. D. c., July lit was
learned authoritively to- day that no
representations have been made to the
State Department by Senior Dupuy de
Lone or any other person to the effect that
Spain was displeased with the alleged
utterances of James B. Eustis, the United
States ambassador to France, concerning
Cuban affairs. Furthermore, it is stated,
on the same authority, that if Mr.. Taylor,
the United States Minister to Madrid, has
denied to the Spanish Government that
Mr.. Eustis uttered the statements at
tributed to him he did so without explicit
instructions from the State Department,
and if he did anything at all it was the
result of private arrangements between
Mr.. Eustis and. himself. Such course
would have been exceedingly irregular,
and for that reason it is not believed by
the department to have been pursued.
Nothing has been received at the depart
ment in any way, officially or otherwise,
about the alleged interview.

HELD FOR KILLING SELJAN.
Bail Denied the Three Men Accused of tn,
Murder.

OMAHA, NEBR., July 1.-The prelimin-
airy examination before Police Judge
Berka of the three suspects in the Selian
murder case was ended this morning.
In reviewing the case Judge Berka said
that the death of the man from the effects
of the wound in the throat had been estab-
lished by the testimony of DR.. Summers,
and that it was shown with such wound
Seljan could not have reached the river
alive. While the case against the defend
ants was not as strong as it ought to be,
there was sufficient reason to believe the de-
PENDANTS guilty, and that the testimony
was such as to dispel the theory OF suicide.
The three uspects-Buckovitz, Mikan
and Drubnitz-were committed to jail
without bond to await trial in the District
Court.
Mike Urban, the man who was boarder
at the Mikan House, and who was used as
witness against the alleged murderers,
was held as a witness, and in default Of
bail fixed at $500, was remanded to jail.
