September 1. The Valkyrie has no center
board or any other secret continuance
whatever. There is no difference between
her and the Valkyrie II, except as to her
lines and sails. Lord Dunraven long ago
determined that he would, if it were posi-
BILE, bring the America cup back to Eng
land. Should he fail in his attempt this
year he will certainly repeat his efforts.
He mas always believed that had his chal-
lenge in 1889 with the Valkyrie l not
fallen through he would have won the cup
with her. In regard to the Valkyrie IL,
Lord Dunraven was never sanguine. he
considered her more an experiment
than anything. else. Until the time she
started for America, the Valkyrie Ii was
undoubtedly the best boat in England.
She won eleven first prizes from the Brit
ANNA, while the latter won only six
from her. The Vigilant beat the Valkyrie
II in every race in America, and then
when the Vigilant came to England she
was defeaten eleven times by the Britannia
and defeated the Britannia four times.

Ransom took place before his term as
Senator had expired. The decision in the
case of Marbury VS.. Madison has been fol-
lowed ano affirmed with remarkable un-
animity, whenever the question has been
raised, notwithstanding the severe adj
verse criticisms of Thomas Jefferson of the
opinion, as well as the Chief Justice who
delivered it."
In concluding, Auditor Holcomb said:
"Thus it is seen that the testimony is
overwhelming. The Supreme Court in
two cases; the great iurists who have
critically examined the constitution, those
Attorney Generals, who have considered
the question at all, and the courts of the
States, all concur in the opinion that the
appointment is complete at the latest
when the commission is signed and sealed.
Therefore, as Mr.. Ransom's commission
was signed and sealed on February %,
before his term as Senator had expired,
cannot escape the conclusion that the con-
stitutional prohibition contained In sec
ton 6, article l, prevailed to prevent his

appointment as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico, and
that, therefore, he is not entitled to salary
as such.
"Mr. Ransom, however, took the oath OF
office, the commission was delivered to
him and he has been performing the
duties of the Office with the consent and
approval of the State Department. He
has also regularly drawn the salary of the
Office, and his drafts have been paid upon
requisition of the State Department. 1t
would seem that he has occupied the
position of de facto office. The doctrine
announced in Kent, that salary and fees
are incident to the title has been almost
universally accepted to prohibit payment
of compensation to de facto officers. But
where the officer has been paid the COM
pensation it has been held that it cannot
be recovered. Upon the authority OF the
case of Baude VS.. the United States, Mr..
Ransom will be allowed in settlement
whatever amount he has received toward
payment of the salary"

OF A WRECKER
Young Garcia Died for Putting
Stones on a Railroad
Track.
In Mexico the Authorities Enforce
the Penalty for Obstructing
Trains.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 18.-A special
from the City OF Mexico says: A boy
named Garcia who twice placed stones on
the track of the Hidalgo Railway, the
second time causing the wreck of the
train, was executed to-day at Pachuca
under the new law suspending constitu-
tional guarantees in the case OF persons
obstructing the public mails or railway
trains.
Garcia's father has committed suicide by
throwing himself in front of train on the
same road. being frantic with grief over
the fate of his son.
The new law is being universally en-
forced and the penalty is about to be in
fiicted in the State of Jalisco for obstruct-
ing the track of railway American rail-
way men here approve OF the law, as do
also the Mexican operators and employees.
Experience has demonstrated that nothing
but the death penalty will stop railway
wrecking. The same law was in force
two wears ago and then was suspended
with the result of an increase IN attempts
to wreck trains.
Governor Martinez of the State of Pu-

Dimes money and had promised to aid
him in being elected to the National Con-
gress, and besides had not pressed him for
debts due the State Treasury.

WORK OF INCENDIARIES.
An Attempt to Cheat the
Police Out of Further
Evidence.
EXPLOSIONS OF KEROSENE.
The Building Almost Wrecked Be-
fore the Fire Department
Arrived.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 19.-The Holmes
castle at Sixty-third and Wallace streets
was attacked by fire at midnight and Is
almost total wreck. Firemen who were
summoned to save the structure from de-
struction unhesitatingly declare that the
fire was of incendiary origin, and it is gen.
orally supposed the intention was to de-
stroy it and any evidence it might yet
contain relative to the Holmes case.
The fire started in the rear of the struc-
ture on the first floor, in the southwest
corner of the building, and the first known
of it was when Thomas Rogers, the watch
man at the railroad crossing, heard a
muf1ed explosion.
A moment later smoke was seen issuing
from the north windows of the building.
A small crowd gathered and were fright
ened by series of three explosions similar
to the first. Then in an instant the whole
building was wrapped in solid sheet of
fame and the work of destruction was well
under way before the fire-engines had been
summoned.
Fire Marshal Kenyon gave a second
alarm as soon as he reached the scene. but
both the upper floors of the building were
burned away before the fire was got under
control.
Marshal Kenyon declares there is ample
evidence of incendiarism as given by men,
bers of the first fire company that reached
the scene. 1t is said the explosions were
caused by kerosene oil. The fire started
in the rooms behind the confectionery
store that changed hands few days ago.
Davis drugstore on the corner is as COM
plete wreck as is the confectionery. The
fullest investigation will be made by the
police department. There was no one
asleep in the building at the time the fire
broke out, and there are no tenants save
those on the ground floor
The fire caused great excitement in the
neigh borhood and thousands of people
were present.
AS yet the police do not know whom to
suspect of guilt. The loss on the building
will not exceed SIS, 200, and the damage to
the stocks of tenants will amount TO about
SIC, 600, and the neighborhood is perfectly
quiet at 2:30 A. NJ. So far as the police
know there were no suspicious characters
about the place, and from this fact it is
agreed that the fire was of incendiary
origin and had started from within, and
the muff1ed explosions are supposed to
have been caused by the materials used by
the incendiarY.

JOURNEYED TO THE MECCA
Ex-Mayor Magowan's Absence
From Trenton Finally
Explained.
Isolated Himself in Oklahoma,
Where He Is Suing for a
Divorce.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 1S.-Frank A.
Mcgowan, possible Republican candidate
for Governor of New Jersey, ex-Mayor of
Trenton and head of several large manu-
featuring enterprises, disappeared from his
home at Trenton few weeks ago and
much comment was made over his absence.
1t was intimated that he had failed in
some of his large business enterprises. Not
until to-day did it become known what
caused his sudden disappearance.
A dispatch from Eel Reno. o. t.. stated
that ex-Mayor Mcgowan OF Trenton, reg
istered there on August 1, and that he had
begun proceedings against his wife for
divorce. This was the first news received
of Mr.. Mcgowan s whereabouts during the
week he was absent from Trenton. The
news that he had begun a suit for divorce
will cause sensation, as this is the first
intimation that Trenton's ex-Mayor had
any serious domestic troubles which
caused him to take this step. The state.
ment that ex-Mayor Mcgowan has begun
divorce proceedings was verified to-day by
Mr.. Mcgowan himself when he was seen
by reporter in this city. Mr.. Mcgowan
positively refused to say anything, how
ever, except to verify the statement that
he had begun divorce proceedings in Okla
homa.
The Magowans are well-known mem
bers of society at Trenton. Mr.. Mcgowan
has taken every precaution to prevent any
one from knowing what he went to Okla
homa for; but upon investigation it was
learned he had sought a divorce in New
Jersey a few months ago and when he
found that he could not be successful. he
consulted prominent law firm of this
city, who advised him to go to Ell Reno
and establish residence there.
In the meantime Mrs. Mcgowan and her
family are staying at Tpring Lake, N. ].

NEGROES ARM IN SECRET,
Preparations to Force a Fight
With Italians of Spring
Valley.
Hundreds of Pistols Bought for the
Use of Those Who viii
Battle.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 1S.-It is believed
the colored men of this city are making
secret preparations to send an armed body
of men to Spring Valley, ILL.,, to force a
fight with the Italians there in retaliation
for their outburst against the negro miners
two weeks ago.
1t was learned yesterday by the police
that colored man whose name is sup
posed to be Robinson has been canvassing
the pawnshops in this city and has bought
over 100 revolvers.
One firm of money-lenders reported to
the police that they had sold seven re-
volvers to colored man. The descrip-
ton of the 7man they gave talfies with
that in the hands OF the officers. De-
tectives have been detailed on the case.
1t is said that colored people have be-
come disguised with the public meetings
because their plans have always mis-
carried. Therefore they have decided to
meet in secret. A number of men are to
be armed and smuggled into Spring Val
ley to be in readiness for duty at a
moments notice. The discovery of the
plot has caused considerable agitation in
police circles.
At a meeting of the advisory board of
the American Protective Association of
Cook County, resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the Mayor of Spring Valley as
cowardly, disloyal and un-American for
not using his authority to quell the recent
uprising there, and demanding that the
loss sustained by the negroes be repaired.
Sheriff Clark of Spring Valley was assured
that the American Protective Association
stood ready with 5000 men to go to the
mining town to assist him in preserving

changes before the S0S delegates give their
vote to the convention.
Governor Campbell, who is first choice
for Governor, is reported to have declined
the nomination on the ground of financial
conditions.
Paul j. Sorg of Hamilton is strong Sec
ond choice, while many think that in John
B. Clarke of Youngstown will be found the
dark horse at the critical moment.
