CARLISLE AND BLACKBURN
Friends of Both Trying to Modify State
ments as to Their Relations.
1t Is Now Alleged That There Was No
Attack by the Senator on
the Secretary.

Friends of Secretary Carlisle and of Sem
stor Blackburn are anxious to modify
statements that were given throughout the
&C untry in press dispatches concerning the
req Iorted attack on the Secretary by the
Senator.
1t seems that, according to the state
ments of their friends, this attack was
something of a hypothetical case. 1t was
stated to Mr.. Blackburn that the Secretary
was coming to Kentucky to attack him,
ard this caused indignant expressions on
the part of Blackburn, who announced
what he would do ''lf'' the Secretary car
ried cut such a program.
Speaking of this reported difficulty be-
tween the Senator and the Secretary, a
friend of the former, who is a prominent
kentuckian, said today:
1.-The short telegram which appeared in
the Iress dispatches a few days ago COM
ing from Owen sboro', KY, in which it was
stated that the Senator had severely de-
r.cunced Mr.. Carlisle, has proven, as every
enc acquainted with the two gentlemen
and their relations with each other knew it
would prove, a gross eXaSgeration, if, in
fact, it could be said to have any real
foundation at all. 1t simply grew out OF a
casual conversation, in which, it being sug-
gested that Mr.. Carlisle was coming to
Kentucky to make war on Mr.. Blackburn,
the Senator remarked that if Mr.. Carlisle
was coming to attack him he would make
it warm for him. And this has been tor
tured into a 'denunciation' of the Secre-
tary.
There is really no such personal feeling
between the friends of these two distin-
guished men. The great mass of the friends
of each are the mutual friends of both.
Differences of opinion on the financial
question have not changed the personal
relations of their friends toward these two
favorite sons. Indeed, many of the closest
friends and greatest admirers of Mr.. Car
Isle differ most radically with him on the
pending money question. He says himself
that he has no more personal interest in
the question than any other good citizen,
and there is no more reason for enmities
on this account between these gentlemen
or their friends than that two lawyers who
opposed each other in a law suit should
declare war on each other. There is
without doubt an intense earnestness on
the part of the free coinage men in Ken
lucky, as elsewhere. and the political
records of the champions are being freely
and thoroughly reviewed. Mr.. Carlisle has
perhaps earned his greatest reputation ty
his advocacy in the courts OF doubtful
causes. His friends are not now going to
become enemies simply because he is de-
Tending what they consider a very bad
case"

The following indictments were returned

The last-named parties were. 1t is under

MRS. MACK EXTRADITED.
Technicalities Which May Operate to
Prevent Her Trial.

The State Department has received infor-
nation of the eXtradition of Mrs. N. P.
Mack, waEted in this country for the man
ufacture of counterfeit stamps. Mrs. Mack
lived in Hamilton. Ontario, and the secret
service officers of the government traced to
her the manufacture of a large number of
spurious stamps, which were found to be
counterfeit. Application was made to the
State Department fer extradition papers,
but it was found that the new eXtradtion
treaty, while providing for extradition in
cases of counterfeiting money, did not
specify stamps. Had 1t said counterfeiting
alone, without mentioning any article, there
would have been TO difficulty. 1t was then
suggested that under the old treaty there
was a provision, which is still in force
providing for extradition in case of forgery
and that the counterfeitng of stamps
might be considered fabrication, and it ap-
pears that the Canadian authorities so
consider it. Mrs. Mack has been taken to
Buffalo, N. Y, where she will be tried for
forgery. 1t is possible that the United
States courts will not consider counterfeit
ing of stamps a forgery. and Mrs. Mack
cannot be tried on any other charge than
that upon which she was extradited.

THE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Gossip as to the Probable Appoint
ment of It's COmmnnLer.

GOSSIP as to the Probable AppOint-
ment of It's Commander.
1t has been stated that the delay in fill
ing the vacancy in the command of the
North Atlantic station resulting from Ad-
miral Meades retirement was due to the
desire of the President to have Capt Rob-
ley D. Evans made chief of the bureau of
navigation, to succeed Admiral Ramsay,
the station for which Capt Evans has ap-
piled. 1t is now reported, however, that
when the Kiel celebration is over, the New
York. with Capt Evans in command, will
remain on the European station, and that
the San Francisco will be sent home.
Meanwhile, if arrangements can be made
for the command of the Atlantic station.
the assignment will be made without re-
gard to the Kiel fleet. Admiral Ramsay
wants the command, and Secretary Her
bert desires him to remain as chief of the
bureau of navigation. The Secretary's
wishes may be carried out, and probably
will be needed, in which case it is believed
that Admiral Walker or Commodore Self
ridge now the ranking commodore, may be
given command of the squadron. Admiral
Walker has applied for sea duty.

Ex-Congressman Harter Wants the
Tax on Them Increased.
WOULD RAISE $90,00O,OOO IN REVENUE
There Would Be a Surplus and No
One Would Suffer.
OPPOSED TO FREE COINAGE

MANSFIELD. Ohio. May 24-M:chael L.
Harter gave his views at great length to-
Cay on the issues which confront the peo-
pie in view of the recent decision in the
income tax cases. He has plan for the
raising of revenue which he thinks will
save the financial department of the gov
ernment from embarrassment.
The tax on ali kinds, or nearly all kinds
OF tobacco should be increased to where the
result would be an Increase of revenue from
this source of not less than s15,OO0,0O0. The
tax on beer should be increased $50, ,OO0, 600,
which would not result in any decrease in
the size of glass or increase in the cost TO
drinkers. The whisky tax, already high,
should be enlarged enough to add to the
revenue from this source about SIS, GOO, 600
Tea and coffee should be taxed enough 10
cost the consumer about one mill per cup
or cent for each ten cups, which tax
would bring n about S30,000,o00 in ordi-
nary years.
Here you have an increase in the income
of the United States of $4,000, 900 without
putting a noticeable burden upon ANYBODY
With this simple legisla ton our deficiency
would be transferred into that wholesome
surplus of s40.OOc.0o0 and no calling or in
dustry would suffer and no individual cit
izen would haE any just ground for COM
plant.
Why Revenues Fell on.
1T is but fair to say that If the McKin-
ley bill had not placed sugar on the free
list and granted an outrageous bounty to
the growers Of sugar, for the sake OF in
creasing an already scandalously high dis
eliminating tariff taxes, which go into
private pockets instead of public treasury
we would in the past four years have had
100000 more revenue, and instead Of
an increased debt, approximating SltnOO0-
600 on June 80, 1895. would have shown
about sS0,000,O00 surplus, and a gold re-
serve of about s170,000.O00, with no increase
of public liabilities. In other words, but
for the wretched measure known as the
Mckinley bill Mr.. Cleveland would be buy
ing in and canceling instead of selling
United States bonds.
Mr.. Cleveland's course in the sale Of
bonds was forced upon him, and the skill
and sound sense he has displayed in the
matter are deserving Of the highest praise.
Il feel that the party, If any, which
boldly declares for free coinage at 16 to /
would do well to buy coffin and order a
shroud. However, with sll the noise and
uproar, the net result WILL 1 fear, be q

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS
Ex-Congressman Dunn Thinks They Can
Elect the Next Governor.
lie Believes George ID. Fielder to he
the Strongest Candidate
to Put Up.

'I think that George B. Fielder is the
strongest man today with the rank and
file of the democratic party that there is
in New Jersey" So said ex-Congressman
Dunn of New Jersey, speaking of the
gubernatorial race in his state. Continu-
ing, he said:
Mr.. Fielder is a thoroughly clean man.
He has made a good Representative. He
has been a brave soldier, and would re-
ceive very strong support of his party
from that element of New Jersey people.
do not think that Mcpherson and some
of the others. who have been leaders and
left themselves open, whether justly or
unjustly, to unfavorable criticism and who
have dropped out of the leadership, have
a right to say that the democrats cannot
win the state of New Jersey this fall.
Believes in Democratic Success.
Il believe in democratic success. 1 be-
lieve that many unthinking people have
been led away from the party by hard
times. and others voted against the party
because of their Indignation against party
leaders who have unquestionably deserved
the condemnation of the people, as the re-
publican party are now doing, because
those leaders bought and sold the legisla.
tUre when the democrats were in power;
or it is claimed they did, with such appear
democrats that it was true. Then other
democrats because of the conduct of those
leaders in the course of legislation with
regard to race tracks felt indignant that
the moral element of the state should be
subjected, by what they call gang of po-
htical brokers, to open gambling In various
parts of the state"
FieIdcr's Chances.
But you think that these prejudices will
be so far lessened as to warrant the belief
that the democrats will be successful in
the coming election?"
"Yes, as I said before, 1 believe that the
democrats will be successful"
Does Mr.. Fielder, in your opinion, stand
a better chance than any one else in the
gubernatorial racer?
Yes, for this reason. Any democrat who
would vote the democratic ticket will vote
for any of the men who are named. Geo.
Fielder, therefore. can get all the demo-
Gratis who would vote for any democrat,
and in addition to this he will be able to
secure the votes of many outside of the
party. This will, of course, make him the
strongest man. 1 do not think any of the
others have chance with Fielder"
Mr.. McAdoO Barred.
Speaking of Mr.. William McAdoo as
sistant secretary of the navy, who was at
enc time spoken of as a candidate, but
who will be debarred from running for
governor on account of his not being a
resident of the state, Mr.. Dunn said: IF
Mr.. McAdoo has voted within seven years
in the state of New York (Which is true),
under article 5, section f. of our constitu-
ton, he would be debarred from filling the
office of governor of the state of New Jer-
sey. And 1 guess there can be no question
and claimed mis- residence in that city dur
ing the last seven years.

THE CUP CHALLENGER.
Designer Watson Says She Will BE
Much Easter Thnn britannia.

LONDON, May 24.-Various descriptions
of Nalkyrie III, the Dunraven syndicate
challenger for the Americas cup. have
been published, and they agree in their es-
sential details with cabled reports. Her
water line length is said to be 90 feet; her
length over all. 130 feet. and her beam is
about % feet. The weight of her keel is
about 100 tons. Her copper extends only
as high as the lead keel.
According to the Pail Mall Gazette, the
cup challenger will have 14,000 square feet
of canvas, and her designer, George L.
Watson, is quoted claiming that she
will be seven minutes faster than Britain
MIA over fifty-mile course.
According to another interview with Mr..
Watson. he has stated that the Valkyrie
III will have 10000 feet OF canvas. Both
statements are regarded as impossible.

THE DEATH OF MARTI.
Report of His Demise Omcially Con.

Report OF His Demfse OHc1aIIy Con-
firmed Here.
Official confirmation has been received
here of the report of the death of Gen.
Marti, the Cuban leader, in a battle with
the government troops. Marti's death is
regarded as the most important event since
Gen. Campos began his campaign. The
other Cuban leaders-Gomez, Maceo and
Borrero-were known only by name in this
country, but Marti is personally known
throughout the United States, as he has
Icng served as president of the Cuban
party in this country. He has passed much
of his time in Washington, his last service
here being as delegate to the Pan-Ameri-
can monetary conference.
! The papers found on Marti are expected
to reult in important developments, as he
was in personal correspondence with those
sympathizers in the United States who
have thus far eluded detection.

Einin and Tennessee.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
has denied the application sof the state of
Virginia for decree to have the boundary
line between that state and Tennessee re-
run, for the purpose of restoring the mark
ing. The denial is not based upon any in
disposition to grant the request, as both
states unite in making it, but because the
bill was filed during the term of 1s93 and
the court finds that it cannot act at the
present term on the bill, filed in previous
term. There has been more or less dispute
between the states as to this line but the
lished by the compact of 1903. 1t will now

THE people have right when ques-
ton is submitted to their vote for de-
cision, to have the whole subject matter
committed to them. We think there can
be no denial of this in reason. To sub
NIT the water question to the voters of
Sacramento in form that will not enable
them to choose between the present and
proposed new systems, is unfair, and
calculated to bring out expression that
will but partially reflect the will of the
people. We insist that the Trustees,
when the water question is resubmitted
shall put propositions to run somewhat
| in this wise: 'Do you wish to adhere to
the present system? Or do you wish to
have clear water system on the basis of
search for a subterra can supply east Of
the city, and if it is found in quantity
and quality that IS satisfactory that the
authorities may incur the necessary
liabilities to enable the city to avail of the
new source of supply and shah do so?"
There can be no reasonable objection to
such submission.

INFLUENZA is again epidemic in Eu-
rope, and seems to be most severe in
England. The doctors are agreed there
that it is infectious. 1t is severe, but not
so fatal as when it appeared some six
years or SO ago, probably because the
physicians know now how to treat it
more successfully. The dispatches say
that the English doctors are unanimous
in advising against the use of quinine
and anti-pyrene preparations, but advise
inducement ofprofuse perspiration. The
disease has appeared in the Eastern States
and appears to be slowly pushing West

the cautious, by careful regulation of
their habits and diet to avoid it, or be

ALL the sentences of death passed upon
Hawaiian rebels have been recalled, and
the offenders will suffer fine and impris-
onment instead. This action will COM
mend the new Government in Hawaii to
the civilized world and win it many
friends. The news is that the ex-Queen,
under sentence of fine aud imprisonment,
viii be pardoned, and probably will be
required TO leave the country. That will
be easy escape for her. The proof of her
completely in the late rebellion was posi-
tive and beyond successful contradiction.
That her counsel should have put in as
her defense denial of knowledge of the
intention to rebel was grave mistake.
Had he pleaded knowledge and justifica-
ton on the ground that she had not sur
rendered her right to rule, great deal
more of respect would have been inspired
for the Royalist cause, and the ex-
Queens guilt would not have brought
with it any heavier penalty.
