FAIRS BIG NOTE.
1T IS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN
FRISCO.
A Mystery About the Transactions,
However, That May Be Hard to
Explain Away.

San Francisco, April 1S.-The note
for $1,000 alleged to have been given
by the late James G. Fair to Leland
Stanford. which has been received by
the First National bank for collection.
is not regarded seriously here.
The note was forwarded from New
York through the ordinary mail. and
was in a large envelope containing the
following brief letter:
New York, April 8. 1895.
First National Bank, San Francisco:
81 hand you Enclosed note for 100000
for collection and return.
Very truly,
'fWILLIANI S. HOWELL"
A small unsea1ed envelope was also
enclosed with this address:
william S. Howell, New York City.
If not delivered in five days return to
P. o. box No. 1915, n. W
The note purports to have been eX-
ecuted in San Francisco, May rs, 1880.
and reads:
Five years after date promise to
pay to tie order of Leland Stanford.
at San Francisco, without defalcation.
S300,000 for value received"
The note is signed James G. Fair
and is Endorsed Leland Stanford.
s. G. Murphy, president of the First
National bank, upon receipt Of the al
legged note, communicated with Louis
Breese, jr., and ]. S. Angus, of til
executors Of the Fair estate, but they
both disclaimed any knowledge Of such
a note ever having been executed by
the late ex-senator and Mr.. Breese told
a reporter today that there was no
record of it on the books. He did not,
however, say it was a forgery. When
he was asked about that he replied
that he did not know. Neither does
any one connected with the Stanford
estate know anything about the note.
President S. G.. Murphy said he had
written to W. S. Howell, at his given
address in New York, asking for the
history of the note. AS it does not fall
due until May 2Sth, there is plenty OF
time for a full explanation.
Banking people generally view the
note in the light of a hoax. The sig
natures have a quasi-genuine look,
and may have been caused by tracing
or clever forging A suspicious CIR
cumstance is that such d valuable
note should have been trusted to
the ordinary mail, and that the sender
should not identify himself and explain
the nature of the proceeding.
Ex-senator Fair had close relations
with Senator Fair when he sold the
narrow gauge railroad to the Southern
Pacific, but that sale occurred in 1887,
three years before the alleged note
was drawn Besides that, a careful
business ran like Fair would have had
some record of such note on his books.

THE CATHOLIC IDEA.
Danger to the Church of Schools
Wherein No Religion is Taught.

Winnipeg, Man, April 1S.-Archbishop
Langevin. of st. Boniface, was inter-
viewed this afternoon regarding the ca
blegram from Rome announcing that the
pope had addressed a letter to the Can
adam bishops condemning the frequent
ing of Protestant schools by the Catholics
of Manitoba. His grace said no such
communication had been received by him,
and that the only letter upon the subject
of schools which he had received had
come from the cardinal, Vicar Ledochos-
XII at Rome, summary of which he had
already given to the press. His grace
translated the passage in that letter
which referred to the Goddess" schools,
and which reads as follows:
Some have enormously thought there
is no danger in those schools, which are
called neutral, and that Catholic children
can be discriminatory sent to those
schools; but the very fact of such insti-
tutions excluding the true and all other
religions from their teachings infiicts a
great wrong upon religion itself and dis
places it from the high position it occu-
pies in every human life, and particularly
in the education of the young. 1t is not
right that parents can supply privately
the religion which should be part Of the
school routine

nessee miner, and the fatal wounding Of
Charles Morgan, an Ohioan.
The trouble originated from the intro
duction of electrical labor-saving ma
chinery from Ohio. which was obtained
at a cost OF $50.o00. A superintendent
was brought from Ohio with the ma
chinery. He brought with him fifteen
Ohio miners, all of whom were given
good places. The natives called these
Ohioans foreigners" and demanded
their removal. but were refused. There
upon 400 of them quit work.
Today clash came, in which arms
were used, with the result named. But
that did not end the matter. The Ohio
ans fed to the mountains. Forty armed
Tennesseeans have gone in pursuit,
threatening to lynch the whole lot. The
county authorities have been called on,
but will not act unless they hear of fur
Their open violence.
The Royal Coal and Coke company is a
heavy losers in consequence of this
trouble.

ALTGELD OBJECTS.
DIFFERS WITH THE SUPREME
COURT DECISION.
1t is Biased, He Says, in the Interest
of Gold Bugs and Wall Street
MiIIionnires. still is it Consistent
With Scripture.

Springfield, H., April Ex-Governor Alt
geld does not approve of the decision OF
the United States supreme court regard
ing the income tax. He says the decision
is biased in the interest of the gold bugs
and Wall street millionaires: it recog-
nizes the divinity of wealth by exempt
ing it from taxation and breatheS a curse
against enterprise by making it bear all
the burdens of government. But" says
Altgeld, 1T is in harmony with that
passage of scripture which says that unto
him that hath shall be given, and from
him that hath not shall be taken the lit
tie he hath and it is in perfect accord
with the Republican and mugwump
theory of government now being applied
in this country. 1t shows that the in
interests of the rest of the country, also
that at least two of the coordinate
branches of our government received
their inspiration at the same altar

Washington, April 1S.-It is stated
by diplomatic officials that the extern
sion of the Japanese-Chinese armis-
tice to May is in order that the
peace terms may be ratified by the
respective governments.
This brings out for the first time
that the action of :he peace ENJOYS
was not conclusive. and that there is
Still a possibility of failure to ratify
the agreement.
Accompanying this, are the reports
of popular agitation in Japan against
the peace terms, and the suppression
Of many newspapers which assail the
government.
This expression of popular senti-
Tnent, coming at a time when the
Japanese parliament woul5 be called
on to accept or reject the agreement,
causes some apprehension as to the
outcome, though the government is
expected to prevail and carry out its
programme. 1t has been feared from
the outset of the negotiations that
the military element of Japan, encour-
aged by their constant victories and
supported by the universal war spirit
among the people, could not be easily
induced to accept moderate terms of
peace.
May Be Some Difficulty.
This was the main reason for MAX
Ing Prince KomatSu conNnander-in-
chief of the army and navy, thus con-
centrating all military power in one
man, instead of leaving it with the
generals and admirals.
The final terms are far short of
what the radical element demanded,
and the agitation in Japan is taken
TO Indicate that there will be some
difficulty in getting the terms ratified.
1t Is stated by diplomatic official
that China's ratification would be
made by an edict of the emperor.
This ratification is accepted as GER
tain, as the emperor has already is
sued a preliminary edict. authorizing
Ii Hung Chang TO accept the peace
terms. Neither the Japanese nor
Chinese legation has received any fur
Their details os the peace terms. The
attitude OF the Japanese foreign Office
IN refusing to make an official state
ment of the terms Of peace meets
with responsive action at the Japanese
legation in Washington.
Reasons For Delay.
Little doubt is felt here that the
reticence in disclosing the exact ma
fure of the peace treaty IS due to a
desire 10 wait until the document is
ratified and thus placed beyond the
reach Of possible interference by the
powers Of Europe. The diplomatic
representatives at Toxic appear to be
unable to inform themselves accur-
ateiy, for even Mr.. Dunn. our minis
ter there, who, from the part he
played in conjunction with Mr.. DENLY,
IN bringing about peace negotiations,
! .turally would be in a favorable po-
sition TO set inside inform ton, has
cabled the state department that he
cannot get d direct statement from
the Japanese minister, and is only
able to transmit what he believes to
be reliable outline of the agreement.
This agrees closely with the terms
already published, namely, the acqu;-
sition by Japan of the Lao Tung
peninsula and Formosa, indemnity OF
200, 900 taels, the independence OF
Corea, and the opening Of additional
Chinese ports.

Havana, April 1S-Captain-General Mar
tinez de Campos has issued from Santa
go de Cuba a proclamation offering par
don to all insurgents with the exception
of the leaders, who will lay down their
arms and surrender. He has made prep
arations to Immediately pursue the men,
bers of the bands who refuse to come in
under the proclamation and the warfare
against them will be waged vigorously.
1t is stated here that some of the In
surgent bands have taken to torturing
helpless residents of the country districts
who have incurred their displeasure. AT
Blanquisal, near Manzanillo, a grocer
named Miguel Laureda, was surprised at
night by Maceos band. He was cruelty
tortured and horribly mutilated,- after
which he was tied to q tree, where he was
left for buzzards to eat
Manuel Iglesia, a grocer of Buejicto
Manuel Rietos and an old man named vi
calna, who fought against the rebels in
the last revolution, have been murdered
by rowing insurgents.
Senior Dupuy de LONE, the newly-ap-
pointed minister TO the United States, ar
rived at o'clock this evening. 1t is ex-
pected he will proceed for New York on
Saturday after Investigating the Alliance
affair.
=. Private -advices from the province of
santiago de CUBA snow that FORCES OF the
insurgents do not amount to near the
number claimed by the rebels. Among
the leaders of the various bands are: EN-
lilo Giral. a. white man, who commands
200 men; Alfonso Goulet, mulatto, 500;
Bernardo Camacho. white, 100; Victoria
Garzon. white, 400; Victoriano HierreZue-
10, mulatto, 200; Quinten Banderra, negro,
1000 and Perico Peri, white, 1,100-a total
of 5000. OF this number 1900 are said TO
be armed with rifles, while the others use
shotguns and machettes as weapons. The
rebels do not possess single piece Of ar
tillery.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by the fact that the rebels are
again resorting to the incendiary tactics
that caused such enormous losses to the
planters during the last Instruction. The
Central plantation, the property of Senior
Nicolas CaStano, situated on the coast
near ManZanillo, has been burned by the
rebels. Two million arrabos Of sugar
cane were destroyed. The advices do not
show whether the machinery of the plan
tation was destroyed. Should the rebels
burn many of them the loss would be
enormous.
It is stated on good authority that the
troops commanded by Colonel Santocilde
have cooped up q band of insurgents in
the mountains in the province of Santa
go de Cuba, and that their capture Is
only question of time. The rebels are
making stout defense and a very hot
fire is being exchanged.

The action of Congress in striking all
currants from the dutiable list, save
those grown in Greece, called Zante cur

Latest OF, the Revolution.

Tampa, Fla, April 1S.-The Plant
steamer Olivette arrived from Havana
tonight. The passengers bring news
of the revolution as follows:
The Cubans endeavored to capture
Guantanamo early Tuesday, the 18th.
The Cuban force was $50, while the
Spaniards numbered 400. The Cubans
presented a body of about 200 and the
balance advanced in ambush on either
side of defile. The Spanish threw
themselves into the defile on the Gu
bans, killing fourteen. The ambushed
forces poured a continuous yolley into
the Spaniards, completely demoraliz-
ing them and compelling them to form
a hollow square After a long stand
with heavy losses the Spaniards made
a cautious retreat from the defile. The
engagement lasted eight hours. The
Cubans, becoming acquainted with the
Spanish numbers, withdrew.
Six thousand soldiers are now in
Guantanamo, and 1000 more have been
asked for to protect the city against
the insurgents, who, the passengers
say, will make another attempt to cap
ture the town. The Cubans are now
subject to a decree, the text of which
is: Should any Cuban or Spaniard
propose peace he will be Immediately
executed.
The CuTbans today are said to have
entire control of the province of San
tiago excepting the largest cities. The
Spanish troops are concentrating in
Puerto Principe.

call from an interior plantation owned
by Mr.. Rigini, of Connecticut, sixty
eight miles from Havana He raised
the American flag and sent word to
the forces of Spain that he would hold
them responsible for the damage done
to his property. Both sides then
agreed to respect the property. a
Boston firm putting in machinery on
the same plantation made the same
complaint and their property was not
damaged. Consul Williams expects to
leave Havana on Saturday. He will
