More of Paul Schulze.

Tacoma, June 7.-J. O. Armour and
P. D. Armour, jr., Of Chicago, filed to-
day in the federal court petition al
leging that the late Paul Schulze
fraudulently and collusively conspired
with the Northwest Thomson Houston
Electric Company to transfer to it
stocks and bonds of the Tacoma Rail-
way & Motor Company, without re-
ceiving full consideration; that for ST.
$50, 900 bonds of face value and large
block of stock, the street railway COM
pany received in money and property
only 100000. They claim that
Schulze paid the electric company
$3.50, 900 for the Steilacoom road, su.
burban line worth but $50, 900. On
account of these transactions they de-
clare the company has an equitable Off
set against the Thomson Houston Elec-
trio Company of $746, 900, and ask that
the amount due it and its assignees on
the bonded Indebtedness be reduced by
that amount. The bonded debt is ST.
$50, 900. The Armours are stockhold-
ers and do not want to see the stock
wiped out

workmcn and Police.

Vienna, June 1.-THE long expect
ed conflict between workmen and po-
lice took place today. Ten thousand
laborers gathered on the streets of the
city according to preconcerted arrange
ment, and Deputy Pernerstorger and
other socialist leaders made speeches to
the crowd. Upon the arrival of the
police they declared the meeting ille-
gal, and requested the audience to dis
perse. The crowd noisily separated,
but the arrest of man named Feigl
caused collision between the police
and socialists, who tried to rescue the
prisoner. The police were stoned, and
many small fights occurred in various
portions of the city all the morning
One mounted inspector had his uni
form torn form him and was nearly
pulled off his horse. Another inspector
was thrown and kicked in the abdo-
men. Three policemen were injured
by stones. Nineteen socialists have
been placed under arrest.

TAR AND FEATHERS.
A Walla waIla Benedict and His Dusky
Bride Coated.

Bride Coated.
Walla Walla, WASH. June H.
Early this morning fifty masked men,
heavily armed, took Joseph Fossati and
Robbie Allen, colored woman who
runs a house of i'll repute, and gave
them coat of tar and feathers. Soon
after midnight the men, all wearing
masks over their faces, went to the
house occupied by the woman in an
alley between Main and Rose streets.
A hack followed them and stopped in
front of the house. The men broke
open the door. They dragged Fossati
and the woman from the bed, and car
ried them to the hack, which was
driven rapidly to the outskirts of the
city. The clothes of the two were torn
off, and heavy coat of tar and feath-
ers applied. The two were then order
ed to leave the city.
The job was well planned and exe-
cuted. The thoroughfare through
which the hack passed was thoroughly
guarded by armed men, and any at
tempt to stop them would have been
futile. Two minutes after their noise
less approach they were out Of sight,
and before large number of spectators
recovered from their establishment.
Fossati is the son of highly re-
spected family. and has had more than
average advantages OF life. He has
persisted in living with this woman.
Friday they went to Dayton and were
married. They returned here Satur-
day. Mrs. D. Fossati, the mother of
Young Fossati, is prostrated with grief
and is in precarious condition.

Something About o1ney's Successor.

.
Cincinnati, June 10.-When the ap-
pointment Of Judge Judson Harmon
became known here, attorneys from
the courts and their offices rushed to
the Office of Harmon, Colestone, Gold
smith & Hoadley to congratulate the
new attorney general and ask for a
date for farewell dinner from the bar.
Judge Harmon said he had received a
letter from President Cleveland today
and replied to it by wire. He had no
knowledge of his appointment till ad-
vices by the press dispatches. He
went to Columbus tonight on business
and does not know when he will go to
Washington. Judge Harmon is not
only recognized as one of the foremost
lawyers and jurists in the state, but
also as one of the most popular citizens
of Ohio.
He was born near this city 49 years
ago. Cincinnati has always been his
home and he is known by all. His
father, the Rev. B. F. Harmon, was a
Baptist minister, well known through
out the Ohio valley. Young Harmon
graduated at Denison university, a
Baptist institution at Granville, Ohio,
in 1865, and began the practice of law
in Cincinnati in 1859. He was Re-
publican until 1879, when he "Gree-
leyized." As a Democrat he was
elected common pleas judge on the
Tilden ticket in 1875. He was elected
superior judge in 1878, reelected in
1888, and when Ex-Governor George
Hoadley went to New York in 1887
Judge Harmon resigned from the bench
to become the head of the firm of Har-
mon, Coldstone, Goldsmith & Hoadley,
which represents many railroads and
other corporations and with which firm
he will continue his connection.
When Judge Harmon resigned, in 1887,
Governor Foraker appointed Judge
William Taft, now United States cir
cult judge and formerly solicitor-gen-
eral to the vacany.
Mrs. Harmon is an accomplished
lady, the daughter of the late DIR. SEQ
bey, of Hamilton. They have three
daughters, Mrs. Edman Wright, jr., of
Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth, recog-
nized society leader, and Margerie, the
youngest of the family, who is IA
years old

oLNEy S APPOINTED.
The Attorney-General Named for the
Secretary of State.

The Attorney-General Named for the
Secretary of State.
Washington, June 10. = President
Cleveland has announced the following
cabinet appointments:
Secretary of state, Richard Olney, of
Massachusetts; attorney general, Jud-
son Harmon, of Cincinnati.
The announcement, which was made
late this afternoon, created no surprise
here, for it has been well understood
for several days that Olney would suc-
ceed to the first place in the cabinet,
made vacant by the death Of Secretary
Gresham.
The president at one time contem-
plated other changes in his cabinet and
a rearrangemento of several portfolios,
and in this connection consideration
was given to the transfer Of Secretary
Smith to the department of justice, but
this and other transfers were finally
abandoned, and the president concluded
that the simplest plan would be merely
to fill the vacancy caused by Mr.. Oh
ney's promotion.
The appointment of Judge Judson
Harmon, of Cincinnati, as attorney
general, came in the nature of a sur
prise. His name had not even been
canvassed as among the probabilities.
There is the best authority for the
statement that the president had sew
eral names under consideration, and
that the portfolio of justice might have
been had by James G. Carter, of New
York, and by Frederick R. Coudert, of
New York, had they been disposed to
accept.
Secretary Carlisle knows Judge Har-
mon personally, and admires and re-
spects his ability. It was he, probably,
who first presented his name to Presi-
dent Cleveland. Ex-Governor Camp
bell, Of Ohio, close friend of Judge
Harmon, also warmly supported him,
and the president also secured from ex-
Governor Hoadley, of Ohio, who is
now living in New York, and whose
law partner Mr.. Harmon was, most
favorable reports as to his ability and
standing. After canvassing the situa-
tion thoroughly, the president offered
the portfolio to Judge Harmon by wire
this afternoon. and Immediately upon
receiving favorable reply announced
the appointments.

THE MASTER STROKE
Revo1utionists in This Coun.
try Ready to Act.
AN EXPEDITION TO SAIL AT ONCE
To Start From q Point South of Charles
ton and to Be Complete in
Every Particular.

Fernandina, Fla, June 8.-The mas
| ter stroke of the Cuban revolutionary
movement in this country will occur
| within three days. The principal lead
ers OF the party in the United States
gathered at Jacksonville two days ago,
but yesterday quietly slipped over here
and took carriages and went to Ocean
Beach, where they stopped at the
Strathmore hotel. From an adjoining
room correspondent overheard the
whole of the deliberations, which began
at P. M. and lasted until late hour.
As appeared from the conversation,
most Of the expeditions hitherto have
gone from San Domingo, but the next
States south of Charleston. A fleet of
light-draught vessels could get unno-
ticed through Bahama channel, and
then at night make short runs for the
northern coast of Cuba, where there
are many bays easy of access for an ex-
pedition, and poorly guarded. The
plans of the insurrectionists, so far as
completed, are as follows:
"That as all plans for the carrying
on of the insurrection in Cuba have
heretofore worked most satisfactorily,
the western half being ripe for rebel
lion, the consulting board has decided
that the expedition should be made
ready at once; that it should sail from
a point bewteen Brunswick, Ga, and
Mayport, Fla; that it should be COM
manded by Colonel Enrique Collao, the
war-scarred veteran of 1868-78, and
that the fleet should be guarded by
three newly-built torpedo boats of the
latest pattern, of great speed and man
ned by experienced seamen. Lieuten-
ant Tomas Collao is to be the staff off,
Ger, and Colonel Collao's small army
is to be recruited from the Cubans in
the United States and picked Ameri-
cans from the Southern states. Men
already collected by Henry Brooks,
who is now in New York city, and who
is to accompany the expedition as a
member of Colloa's staff, are also to be
enrolled. Colloa is to land the expedi-
tion at some point in the province of
Puerto Principe, where forces collected
by Gomez and Marti will cooperate.
The expedition is to land i'll Cuba with
in thirty days. !"
In addition to this plan Of operation.
general information was given during
the deliberations. The province of Pi-
mas del Orras has risen, and the insur-
gents have made more progress in the
present rising Of three months dura-
tion than was made in the seven years
commencing in 1868. It is believed
that within month the whole island
will be in arms for the Cubans, and
that Captain-General Campos is exert
ing every effort to be recalled to Mad
rid before the arrival of the disaster,
which he believes is sure to overwhelm
the Spanish armies in Cuba very soon..
It was stated moreover, that Jose Marti

Given an Ofacial Test by the Govern

New York, June 11.-The govern
ment steamer Ordnance took cargo of
experts and others to the government
proving ground at Sandy Hook yester-
day, and an official test of the Maxim
machine gun, which can be fred 900
times minute, was made. First of
all Mr.. Huber fired fifty shots. The
little feat occupied 4-5 seconds. The
light gun is used by the infantry. It
is important to learn how quickly it
can be taken from the packing case and
put into action. Expert Huber hung
it over his shoulder in marching order,
and, at word from Captain Hatch,
he began to take out the gun. He put
it together, unpacked his cartridges
and fred his first shot fifty eight Sec
onds after the alarm was given. For
a third test duplicate set was put up,
and the first shot was fired in 26 30
seconds. The fourth test was changing
barrels in action. Tha time between
the last shot with tho old barrel and

The Bright Side.

Look at the bright side of things! II
you have not already formed that
habit, try hard to form it without delay.
Then you will be the owner of some-
thing that money cannot buy, and
which no thief can rob you of. See the
silvery lining to every dark cloud, and
the streak of light which shows that the
morn is coming.
What is the use of always fretting9
OF course there are i'm life things hard
to bear, but does frettiDg make the
burden easier to be borne? A rainy
day may spoil a pleasure excursion, but
will complaining make a drop OF rain
fallathe less? The rain which spoils
your plans makes the dry earth laugh
and gives to the farmer a bright vision
of an abundant harvest. The August
sun which makes your head ache soft
mfu.+sev4te u1@rdnit upon the trees and
turns the acid into sweetness.
So try hard not to be selfish. That
which may not suit o may suit the
rest of the world. Be generous and
take interest in the welfare of others /;
in this way you will find happy thoughts
nesting in your WI soul, like a flock
of cheerful singing birds. Then you
will have a smile on your face n
music in your voice your path in life
will be bright with heavens own light.
But the selfish man must walk in the
shadow if nothing without makes him
unhappy there will be something with
in. He who seeks his W happiness
only will surely miss it; but he who
seeks the good of others will have his
reward here and hereafter.-Selected.
