Connection with the Carson Mint

Carson, New, June 4.-Flo Stewart

morning and swore out a warrant for

The warrant was issued and Picker
was arrested and placed under 800
bail to keep the peace. Later she came
to the attorneys for John l.. Jones,
who is under arrest for being respOn-
Sible for the mint shortage, and told
them Picker had a considerable
amount of bullion from the mint Sc
GREETED about his house and yard. A
search warrant was Immediately is
sued and in the presence of United
States Secret Service Agent Grant,
search was made. Nothing was found
in the house, but when digging in
corner of the stable or WOOdShed IN
the place described by the woman, the
officers uncovered several large pieces
of retorted amalgam. Picker up to
this time protested profound inno-
cence. When confronted with this
bullion he said it belonged to his bro
Their in Idaho, who sent it here to be
the trouble in the mint he did not dare
send it TO be parted. The recovered
bullion or amalgam weighed ten and
one-half pounds. It's fineneSs is not
known, but it is thought to be princi-
pally silver. Picker said it was worth
$500, but the officers think it worth
more.
At nightfall the search was aban-
doned, but will be continued tomor-
row. The woman stated that they
would find gold granulations, but if
there were any Picker had disposed
of them, as he was warned yesterday
She said Picker had been stealing
bullion from the mint for some time.
Picker is being watched, but has not
been arrested yet. The woman is in
hiding for fear he will get away and
kill her. Jones' attorneys are satisfied
that this discovery will lead to some
thing tangible soon. Picker was in
the smelling room under the CARAT
administration several years ago, and
under Adams, the present superinten-
dent. but was not employed by
Hoefer.
Picker was suspended from the mint
by Superintendent Adams tonight.

4 PECULIAR SUIT BROUGHT BY A
'FRIsCO DOCTOR.
Employed to Revive an Old Man
While He Made II VIII, the Pa
tient Became Obstinate, Refused
to Die, and Even Now Lives, to
the Disgust of His Wife.

San Francisco, June 4.-Dr. Arthur
Marten has filed remarkable complaint
in the superior court against Mrs. Emily
Maleton. Marten alleges that Mrs. Male
toms husband is old and feeble. About
year ago, believing her husband to be
dying Mrs Maleton implored Marten to
resuscitate the old man so that he could
be enabled to make his will. She also beg
ged the doctor, when his patient was well
enough to make the will, TO see that the
document was drawn in her favor. For
these prospective services, she intimated
that the physician would receive a NUM-
ficent reward Continuing, the complaint
ayers that DR.. Marten, by his medical
SKILL so skillfully treated Maleton that
he still lives. BY the exercise of extra
ordinary influence, Marten states that he
induced the old man to bequeath his
property TO the wife. For keeping Male
ton alive, Marten wants $500, while he val
ues his services in exercising influence
pertaining to the will, at $500 additional.
These sums Mrs. Maleton refused to pay
according to DIR. Marten, because Maleton
had not died and the will was therefore
of no advantage to her. The old gentle
man also disclaimed liability, pleading
ignorance of the arrangement. So Mar
ten brings his peculiar action against the
wife 1t is presumed that Marten prac-
ticed hypnotism on his patient. He is

Hon. Edwin f. Uhl, of Michigan, will
continue in the office of assistant Sec
rotary of state. 1t has not yet been
determined who will be chosen to nil
the vacancy in the attorney-general-
ship created by the transfer OF Mr..
Olney to the state department.
There has been much speculation IN
Washington as to who would be Mr..
Gresham's successor. The death of the
late secretary was unexpected, and II
is doubtful if Mr.. Cleveland even per-
mitted himself TO think of a possible
successor. When the reality of Cen
eral Gresham's death came upon the
president he was stunned. THIN fol-
lowed the hasty transfer of the body
to Chicago, the funeral ceremonies,
by which Mr.. Cleveland was deeply
afflicted; the hurried return to WASH
ington, where the party arrived Iate
Friday afternoon. 1t was not until
last night that executive consideration
was given to the subject of filing the
vacancy. Secretary Carlisle and La
mont were invited to the White House
after the presidents arrival there from
Woodley. There is good reason 10 De-
lieve that the president conferred with
the two secretaries named upon the
subject of the succession in the state
department After the retirement of
these officials to their respective de-
partments, it is known that Attorney
General Olney was summoned to the
executive mansion, and it is almost
certain the office of secretary of state
was rendered to and accepted by Mr.

he is experienced in building up re-
glons that need improvements and his
experience would go a long way.
Perhaps the chief way in which ex-
penses will be paid will be found in
the policy Of granting no concessions.
The road will simply be used as a con-
meeting line and the Union Pacific and
Rio Grande Western would have an
equal chance for whatever traffic
comes over it. By the change, Salt
Lake city will be given three good
hnes OF railway, and the northern
country, which has long been COM
planning over what it has called lack

modated.
Speculation now comes on what
changes Mr.. Egan is likely to make.
He has the general reputation of sur
rounding himself with friends, who are
ready to stand by him and have been
tried IN his service. OF course that
would mean innumerable changes
along the line. 1t is probable that the
traffic manager and freight and pas
senger agents will be brought here
from the outside, and the superintend-
ent viii probably follow. All along
the line changes may be made.
The local offices of the Union Pacific
will not be changed to any consider
able extent. It will be just as neces-
sary as before that the road shall OPP
crate through the northern country

main line and the same offices as are

The new secretary of state comes
from sturdy, Puritan stock. His an
cestor, Thomas Olney, came from Eng
land and settled at Salem, Mass, in
1875. The father Of Richard Olney
owned the cotton mills at Roxford, and
also engaged in banking. His mother
was a Sigourney, descendant from
French Hugenots, who fed from
France to this country. The new Sec
rotary graduated from Brown Univer-
sity in 1856, and from Harvard law
school in 1858. He married Agnes,
daughter of Judge Benjamin F. Thorn
as, with whom he studied law. They
have lived of late years at Boston,
with summer residences near Buz-
yards Bay and Gray Gables.
Mr.. Olney is man of medium height
and robust form, and in general APP
pearance he conveys the impression of
intense vitality and physical endurance
beyond that of any man who has oc-
cupied the position of secretary of
state in recent years. He has served
one term in the state legislature of
Massachusetts
In politics Mr.. Olney is an old time
Democrat, but was unable to support
Butler for governor. He did not take
prominent part in the last presidential
campaign, but rendered effective ser
vice to Mr.. Cleveland in an unobstru-
sive manner.
As a lawyer, Mr.. Olney's success has
been that of a councillor rather than
that Of an advocate.

Omaha, June Unsatisfactory as it
may be, and against the hopes of those
in interest, there is a growing feeling
about the Union Pacific headquarters that
the American Loan and Trust company
will through separate receiver,
succeed to the control of the Oregon

1t has been hoped that Judge Gilbert

Of the consolidated mortgage would hest
tate about taking upon themselves SO
heavy a burden, but the modification was
in the nature Of strengthening the hands
of the trusteeS1 of the consolidated mort
gage and the hopes of those interested
have gone down correspondingly as the
trustees interests have arisen.
In view of this somewhat complicated
condition of affairs all eyes are directed
toward Salt Lake, where the final battS
is TO be fought before Judge Merritt, OF
the territorial court Should he include
the southern extension in the order OF
transfer, it will put an additional obliga-
ton of at least $4,000, representing de-
faulted interest upon the successor re.
ceiver, which will have to be paid in adj
dition to the 81, 10000 on the other proper
ties composing the Short Line. as it is
commonly known.
It is contended that in equity Judge
Merritt can do nothing less than protect
the first mortgage interests, which are
in his court, and to do this. he will have
to ask Mr. Egan, or whoever the receiver
is to be, to look after non-paying as we'll
as paying properties. In addition to the
amounts named above, there will be
$4,000 in interest due August l, which
will have to be raised in two months
from the surplus earnings Of the several
companies included in the Short Line
1t is conceded that the American Loan

with it can raise 100000 if necessary to

Washington, D. c., June 4.-There is
no longer any reasonable doubt that
the president has fully determined to
ask Acknowledgement Olney to accept
the state department portfolio. The
president has not intimated to Olney
his purpose. To other members of
the cabinet, however, he has stated in
substance that he should ask Olney
to accept the place. He is delaying
the public announcement in order that
he might at the same tins name the
successor to Olney as encouragement

Spanish Minister Has No Fear OF .
Cabinet Crisis.

Cabinet Crisis.
Washington, June Minister Dupuy
de LONE, of Spain, says there is no
fear of a cabinet crisis as the result of
the adverse vote in the Spanish house
of deputies yesterday and that the
vote does not indicate any change OF
the governments policy in Cuba, or
other questions of Importance. The
Conservatives recently assumed the
conduct of affairs. They did not, how
ever, have a majority in the house of
deputies, and it was one of the terms
on which the Conservative leaders
undertook to form a cabinet that the
other parties should assist in passing
the budget. This was essential by
reason of the strength of the different
parties in the house, which is about
as follows: Conservatives, 100; Liber-
ais, SO; Republicans, %; Carlists, 8, and
Cuban and Porto Rico members, 25.
The minister is satisfied the adverse
vote was on some minor question not
involving the government policy, say
ing he would be informed at once if a
crisis was imminent.
The budget will be passed by July
1, as the fiscal year ends then. The
cortes wi& then adjourn, and it is
definitely understood an election will

Grax's Visit.

Washington, D. c., June A cabl-
net officer said, after the meeting to-
day, that no appointment had yet been
made to fill the vacancy. Senator
Gray, of Delaware, came over from
Wilmington today and went directly
to the White House. It was thought
the visit has some connection with the
vacant cabinet Office. Gray was the
most earnest champion of the admins
tration in the Senate, and as a member
of the Committee on Foreign Relations
has become familiar with the duties Of
the secretary of state.
Senator Gray's visit to the White
House was undoubtedly in response to
a telegram from the president, who, it
is believed, would not hesitate to offer
Mr.. Gray a place in his cabinet were
1t not for the fact that his retirement
from the Senate would almost GER
tainly result in the election of a Re-
publican successor.
1t is thought that up to this time
the president has not definitely decided
upon Mr.. Olney's successor. A long list
of names are being discussed, but
everything in that connection is purely
speculative. Ex- Postmaster General
Don NJ. Dickinson, it is said, would be
very likely of appointment if he would
accept. A possibility is Mr.. Holmes
Conrad, of Virginia, the present solicit
tor-general. He has the reputation of
being a man of brilliant legal attain
ments and enjoys the high regard of
the members Of the United States Su-
preme Court The fact that Mr.. Con-
rad comes from Virginia, however,
may operate against his appointment
But in case he is selected it is believed
Mr.. Uhl, the present assistant secre-
tary of state, would be a candidate for
the vacant -generalship. Mr..
Uhl was a candidate for this place at
the time MIR. Maxwell was appointed,
and it is believed the change from the
department of state to that of justice
would be most agreeable to him.
His Able Service.
Richard Oiney, who is in all proba-
bility to be advanced to the first place
in President Cleveland's cabinet, has
won his distinction by the able service
he has thus far rendered the president
on all the more important questions
that have engaged public attention
since the present administration began.
During the great strike at Chicago his
services were particularly notable. He
developed each step that the govern
ment authorities took, and President
Cleveland was so fully convinced of the
wisdom of the proposed policy that he
gave it thorough support a~d execu-
ton. In this question Mr.. Olney was
impelled by a desire to suppress dis
order. He had shown in another case
his sincere respect for the rights of
labor. This was in case Of the Read
ing railroad, which sought TO compel
one of its employees to either sever his
connection with a railway mems bene-
fetal organization or leave the com
pany's service. Although the govern
ment had no direct interest in the
case, Mr.. Olney secured the permits
sion of the court to present a brief on
behalf of the employee. in which he
held that the proposed action of the
company was against justice and right.
The brief was marked by a vigorous
defense of the rights of labor to organ
ize in any way it saw fit for advancing
