MORA CLAIM PAID
The Long Diplomatic Contest
With Spain Ended.
Spanish Minister Delivers Draft
to Acting Secretary Adee.
WAS No CEREMONY
WAS NO CEREMONY.
The Amount Called For is
$1,449,OOO.
Many People Want to Get a
Part of 1t.

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 14-Senor De LONE
the Spanish minister, at noon today de-
livered to Mr.. Adee, acting secretary of
state, draft for the equivalent of ST.
449, 900 drawn on the Spanish financial
agent in London in settlement of the
Mora claim.
There was no ceremony about the pro-
ceedings at the state department today.
They marked the close of an internation-
al question that has dragged along for 26
years. giving rise to fiery debates in the
Spanish cortes and protracted committee
inquiry in both branches of our own con-
gress.
The Spanish minister came to the state
department at once and had an interview
with Acting Secretary Adee, lasting only
about ten minutes.
The method of collecting the draft has
not been determined yet, and Mr. Adee
will await Instructions from Secretary
Olney.
Having settled the international feature
of the case the state department is now
likely to encounter some difficulty at
home in disbursing the money.
Much litigation is threatened, as was
evidenced by the taking out of an In
JunctlOn Dy one OF the asSlgneeS yeSter-
day to restrain the state department from
paying over all the money to the claim
ant Mora. During the years of the
pendency of this great claim, Mr.. Mora
has been obliged to make assignments
of parts of it, the larger item being on
account of legal expenses.
Some of these assignments have been
recorded in the state department, but
their number and aggregate amount is
not learned at present. OF these the
department must take notice in settling
the claim and it is probable others are
outstanding of which the department has
not yet been informed. They insure 4
proper distribution.
The department will give official no
| tice by the usual channels SO that proper
claims can be presented, and as this viii
necessarily consume some time, there
will be no haste in closing up the mat

THEY LET CHIPCHASE OUT
The wichita Telephone War in the
Supreme Cour..

The wichita Telephone War in the
Supreme Cour:.
The Wichita telephone war has been
brought to Topeka and has been laid
before the supreme court for settlement
A short time ago the Wichita city
council ordered the Missouri and Kansas
Telephone company to reduce its rates,
as is being done in other cities where
rival companies have been started.
The telephone company refused to re-
duce its rates, and the council proceeded
to get even by enacting a telephone IL
cense ordinance.
Under this ordinance the telephone
company was to be compelled to pay
license of $12 a year for every business
phone and SO ayear for every residence
phone operated in the city and penalty
was fixed for a violation of the ordinance.
When the time came around for the
collection of the telephone license Mana
ger II. B. Chipchase refused to pay and
continued to operate his phones.
Manager Chipchase was then arrested
and he refused to give bond and went TO
Jail to make a test of the ordinance
To test the ordinance the case has been
brought to the supreme court on an ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus TO
release Manager Chipchase from jail,
The telephone company claims thai
the ordinance is unconstitutional because
it interferes with Interstate commerce.
The telephone company says its sys-
tenn in Wichita and southern Kansas is
connected with its system in northeas.-
ern Kansas and eastern Missouri by an
agreement with the Western Union Tele
! graph company to forward messages,
i which makes an interstate commercial
I agreement
Manager Chipchase has been ordered
released from jail pending a hearing Of

at the October sitting of the court

The state school fund investigation
committee has adjourned until Septem-
ber 26, when the committee will meet to
formulate its report
After examining the records relative
to the purchase of the last $4,000 of
Shawnee county court house bonds the
members of the committee decided that
it was not necessary to call any witnesses
as the records showed that the state had
not got all the interest contracted for.
Representative Hilton, the Populist
member of the committee, said today:
81 believe the committee will be able to
make unanimous report, as there is
disposition to criticise Republicans aud
Populists alike, where they have been
guilty of Irregularities. 1t is clear to me
that the state is short $1,0S3. in
interest, on this last Shaw
nee court house bond deal and
we will no doubt recommend that steps
be taken to collecs it from the parties
making the sale"
If Mr.. Hilton's ideas are carried out
Mr.. A. B. Quinton, who sold the bonds TO
the state, will be called on to turn over to
the state the money he collected on the
coupons, which we're clipped from the
bonds before the bonds were delivered.

GU11ELEss CONFIDENCE.
Washington OmciaIs Do Not Appear at All
ADDrehenSiye,

Washington Officials Do Not Appear at All
Apprehensive.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-The feeling of
apprehension that resulted from yester-
days heavy Withdrawals of gold for ex-
port has almost entirely disappeared from
the treasury department this morning,
but it has given place to one of anxiety
for the future
None OF the higher officials now in
Washington, so far as can be learned, is
in Mr. Carlisle's confidence to the extent
of knowing his views on the situation, or
his purposes for the future and hence no
one is able to speak with any degree of
certainty as to what would be done in
the event of continued heavy withdraw
ais of gold.
The concensus of opinion, however, is
that there will be no issue of bonds in the
near future ia any event, and that an is
sue before congress has had an opportu-
nifty to act is extremely improbable. Nor
is it thought that the urgeecy for an issue
before that time will be extreme. it is
argued that the shrinkage in the ship
ment of cotton is very unusual and far
below that of any recent year and that
grain shipments surely must soon begin,
and that improved business will stiffen
money rates.
A turn of the tide, therefore is expect
ed The fact too thatthe United States
has since January 1, 1894, exported
more than s12O,OO6,o 900 in gold in excess
of her imports, it is claimed is a strong
argument in favor of speedy return to
normal conditions
What action congress will take in the
matter is problematical. Yet it seems
more than probable that the admins
! tration will present some plan for the re-
tirement of the United States notes
now outstanding. These amount to
| over $247, 100000, and their presence in
our currency is regarded as a constant
menace to our financial stability.
That some measure to this end will be
presented in Mr.. Clevelaud's message at
the convening of congress is very proba-
| Bile. 1t is thought Mr.. Carlisle is work
| ing out scheme by which this volume
of currency can be retired without any
serious financial disturbance.
