| The residence OF Mrs. Durgan, 1918 South
Sixth street, was entered by burglars last
evening, and a gold watch and a fine clock,
the latter a wedding present belonging to Mr..
and Mrs John Mulqueen, were stolen. The
report Of the loss was sent to the police sta
tion and Captain Maltby detailed Officer
Cousins to look up the case. Cousins found
the two articles lying hidden near the cor
ner of Fourteenth avenue and Seventh street,
and with them was an overcoat containing
lot OF drafts, money orders and a pocket
book. Three men were found loafng about
| In the vicinity, and Cousins put them under
arrest. He took them to the nearest patrol
box and sent in a call for the wagon While
he was doing so two cf his captives took leg
bail and escaped. The third was landed
safely in the city jail, and in his pocket was
found the key Of the stolen clock. Shortly

HER LETTERS NOT "UNMAILABLE.'
Mrs. Lizzie Carter's EpistOlnry Efforts
Outside of Uncle Sans Penal Code.

Mrs. Lizzie Cnrter's EptstOlury EnOrts
Outside of Uncle Sans Penal Code.
Mrs. Lizzie Carter, alias Barton, who sent
several hot letters to w. A. Mynster and
his wife, was brought before the United
States commissioner yesterday for a hearing
on the charge of sending unavailable matter
ducad in evidence and Mrs. Carter cheerfully
admitted having written them and mailed
them, with the intention that Mynster and
his wife should receive them. The case was
then taken under advisement and a decision
will be rendered next Tuesday. United
States District Attorney Charles d. Fullen
was present and conducted the prosecution.
There seems to be some probability that the
case will be dismissed, owing to the fact that
Mrs. Carter fought shy by hairs breadth
of any ofense for which the United States
laws provide a penalty. There are two sec
lions of the law against mailing unmailable
matter, one of which prohibits mailing any
sort Of lewd or lascivious matter whatever.
Tho other prohibits the mailing of any scan
dalous, threatening or libellous matter on a
postal card, or an unsealed letter or package.
The charges against Mrs. Mynster and Mrs.
Poulson were certainly scandalous, and may
prove to have been libellous while certain
language contained in the letters may be
col strued as threatening, but they certainly
were not sealsd, so that that section does not
hit them. The letters will now be carefully
studied with a view to finding, If possible,
something of vile or obscene character, in
order that the federal law may lay hold of
Mrs. Carter with a tighter grip. If this
proves to be impossible, nothing will be left
but to prosecute the insanity case against
her.

DEATH OFCAPTAIN SHEPARD
WAS CHIEF OF THE REVENUE SER
VICE OF THE TREASURY
DEPARTMENT.
HIS FATAL ILLNESS DUE TO OVER
WORK IN SECURING RELIEF FOR
SUPERANNUATED OFFICERS.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Captain L.
G. Shepard, chief of the revenue service
of the Treasury Department, died here to-
day from pneumonia. Captain Shepard
was stricken with a congestive chill while
at work on the 9Th inst, and has been con-
fined to his bed ever since. His illness is
attributed to his efforts to secure legisla-
ton for the benefit of the superannuated
officers of the service. He leaves widow
and two children.
The captain was one of the Oldest and
most efficient officers in the revenue cut
ter service. A native of Massachusetts,. he
was appointed third lieutenant in 1865.
was promoted to second lieutenant in 1869,
first lieutenant in 1870 and captain in
1873. In December, 1889, Secretary Win
dom detailed him as chief of the Revenue
Marine Division, an Office previously held
by civilians only, and he served there con-
tinuously ever since.
Captain Shepard saw much hard active
service and had an exceptionally fine
record. Prior to his transfer to Washing
ton he commanded the revenue cutter
Bear and made several cruises in Boring
Sea and Northern Alaskan waters to carry
out the policy of the Government to pre-
vent Illicit sealing. He was very well
known and highly esteemed.

FOR A new NATIONAL PARTY
The PRELIMINARY MEETING WAS
NOT VERY LARGELY At
TENDED.
ONE REVEREND GENTLEMAN GRE
ATED A BREEZE BY ASSAILING
SECRET SOCIETIES.

PITTSBURG, March 14-Preliminary
steps were taken to-day at Lafayette Hall
for the formation of new national party,
whose main object will be to secure pro-
hibition and the reform of politics.
The conference was called by the Ma
tional Reform Organization, delegates
from all parts of the country being invited
to be present. Only twenty-four persons
assembled in the morning and the meeting
soon adjourned until afternoon, when q
better attendance was secured and the
convention officers were elected.
DR.. S. D. Woods of Connellsville, Pa,
was elected president, with long list of
vice-presidents. The first business taken
up was the selection of a name for the
new party.
During the talk Rev. W. B. Stoddard of
Washington, D. c., began to say ugly things
about secret orders, the Masons in particu-
lar, which brought the chairman to his
feet with the order for the reverend gentle
man to take his seat.
Rev. Mr.. Stoddard hesitated moment,
when a motion was ingeniously made by
some one, who saw the danger of dis
ruption, and the conference resumed regu-
lar business. Without reaching a con-
clusion as to name adjournment was taken
until this evening.
At the night session no business was
transacted, the selection of name going
over until tomorrow.

IS NOW GIVEN UP AS LOST.
NOTHING HEARD FROM THE MISS
ING SPANISH WARSHIP
REINA REGENTE.
ONE RUMoR Is THAT THE VESSEL
Was FOUND BY AN ENGLISH
CRAFT DISABLED.

TANGIERS, March IA Moorish
steamer has gone in search of the missing
Spanish cruiser Reina Regente in the hope
that she had taken refuge in some Moorish
port having no Geographic communica-
ton with this city. AS time passes and
no news is received a belief that the war
ship has foundered with all hands grows
stronger.
MADRID, March 1.-THE Government
was questioned to-day in the Chamber of
Deputies as to the information it had re-
garding the Reina Regente. In reply to
the question, the Prime Minister said that
kilograms announcing the wreck of vessels
at various places along. the coast had been
received and that though the Govern
ment had no positive news regarding the
Reina Regente beyond the fact that she
had sailed from Tangiers, he feared the
vessel had been lost.
The belief is hourly growing stronger
that the vessel will never again be heard
from and has created feeling of conster-
nation throughout the country. In Cadiz
and Carthegena, where most of the crew
belonged, the excitement is intense.
Several British warships have left Glib
raltar in search of the missing vessel. One
report current here late tonight is that
she was found by British vessel in a dis
abled condition off the African coast.
A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid
says that flags, compass-box and other
wreckage belonging to the Reina Regente
have been washed ashore at Tarifa.

GOT PECUNIARY ADV VANTAGE
SWEEPING CHARGES OF B0ODLING
AGAINST SOME CHICAGO
ALDERMEN.
IN GRANTING FRANCHISE THE
MONEY POWER WAS FREE
LY USED.

CHICAGO, March 14.-Direct charges OF
boodling are made against numerous city
Aldermen in the amended pleadings filed
to-day in the suit to have the sweeping,
Ogden Gas and Cosmopolitan Electric
franchises annulled.
Since the ordinances were passed, amid
great disorder in the City Council on Feb
ruary %, the newspapers have daily
printed columns that the granting of the
franchises was the result of liberal bribery
of Aldermen, and proceedings were re-
Gently begun to annul the action of the
Council.
The amended pleadings charged ex-
plicitly that the Aldermen voting Eyes"
on the ordinances had been promised
'pecuniary advantage" for their votes.
The bill has caused sensation in politi-
cal circles, and the investigation of the
charges promises to be exceedingly inter
esting.

TAMPA, Fla, March I4.-An officer OF
the late revolutionary party arrived from
Cuba tonight by the steamship Olivette.
Through Colonel Tiraredo the Associated
Press reporter was informed that con-
stitutional convention of Cuban patriots
has been held in Los Negris and pro-
visional government formed.
General Maximus Gomez was appointed
commander-in-chief of the insurgent army.
Jose Marti is deputy envoy to obtain from
foreign countries recognition of the in
surgents as belligerents. AS soon as prac-
ticable there will be held at Guaymas in
Puerto Principe province an assembly to
organize provisional government, when
president and four secretaries, one for
each of the states, according to the divi-
sion in the former revolution by the Cuban
Government, will be chosen.
The states are to be Orocento, or Eastern
Camayaguay, Los Villas and Occident, or
Western Camayaguay. They will also adopt
a constitution and a chamber of deputies
or congress, selected at the point that was
chosen in the late rebellion.
At their recent organization a proclama-
ton was issued and sent to the Spanish
chief and soldiers saying that the move
ment was not made against them, but
against the Government, and that the
property of all private individuals would
be respected. A declaration of indie
pendence was also issued.
In the recent battle the insurgents were
led by Macceo. The regiment of Isabella
Catolica in charge of a colonel of the
Spanish army, was cot in two and 500
Spaniards killed.
SAVANNAH, Ga, March IA. Under in
structions from the Costa Rican Govern
ment the British steamship Elliott, which
cleared for Costa Rican port, has been
searched for arms and ammunition. being
suspected of having been engaged by
Cubans for that service, although cleared
for Costa RIGA.
The crew of the vessel, which has been
lying in this port three months unchar-
tered, say the captain informs them that
he cannot tell them yet where they are
going. Large boxes weighing 100 pounds
each arrived from New York to-day and
have been placed about thirty feet from
where the steam yacht Pedro Pablo is
lying.
Negroes handling them told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent they were to be
put on the boat. Collector Beckwith will
investigate. Senior Detinto, Spanish Con-
sui, admits that this port is viewed with
the most suspicion by Spanish authorities
and that his instructions are to keep a
rigid outlook here.
MADRID, March 1.-THE Government
has issued an order forbidding the delivery
of private kilograms containing Cuban
news of character unfavorable to the
Government. 1t has also ordered that no
cipher messages be sent to Cuba

SENATOR TELLER HOPEFUL.
He Believes the Bi1netdILtc Standard VIII
Be adopted.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Senator
Teller of Colorado takes hopeful view OF
the possible action of the proposed inter
national monetary conference. He believes
a bimetallic standard will be adopted.
He bases his belief on the theory that
Germany will fall into line with France,
the United States and the other silver
using nations and force the result.
Hitherto every step toward an inter-
national understanding has been blocked
by the attitude of Germany. At all pre-
yious conferences the German delegates
have insisted that their Government was
satisfied with the present system and
would not consider the probability of a
change. Now, however, the Senator SAYS,
a change has come over the spirit of Ger
many, and he believes that she will be will
ing to take steps independently of Great
Britain. Great Britain will never consent
to bimetallism for herself, but she may
consent to reopen the minis of India and
possibly keep a part of the reserve in the
Bank of England in silver. That would
be decided advance toward bimetallism.

Preliminary Examination of Mrs.
Car"thers and Jim Strange.
PARIS, Tex, March 14.-To-day the
examining trial of Mrs. Caruthers and Jim
Strange for poisoning her children on
Friday last brought together a large
crowd.
Mrs. Caruthers was taken to Roxton, the
scene of the murder, this morning, but
there was so much excitement that Judge
Monet postponed the hearing until Mon
day and transferred it to this city. Some
letters found on Strange addressed to
Mrs. N. A. Doty, under which name he
addressed correspondence to Mrs. Caruth-
ers, were opened by the court.
They contained nothing to implicate
Strange, but showed infidelity. It is clear
from their contents that he not only won
Mrs. Caruthers' affections, but that he
evidently intended to debauch her 14-year-
old daughter, who was saved from death
by the timely arrival of assistance.

March without date, but which reached the
department to-day, March Ia, which reports
the circumstances under which the above
named steamer on her homewaid voyage from
Colon, Colombia, to New York, off the North
Cuban coast, on the 9Th inst, was fred upon
by Spanish gunboat.
The department desires to receive from you
a statement of facts in the form of an affidavit,
accompanied, if possible, by sketch chart
showing the course of the Alliance in passing
Cape Maysi ana the distance of the vessel
from the nearest point of the island of Cuba.
The affidavit should be explicit upon these two
points. Awaiting such, 1 am, sir, your obedi-
ent servant, EDWIN F. UHL,
Acting Secretary.
Later in the day dispatch was received
from Secretary Gresham asking Captain
Crossman to send to the State Department
exact data of the affair. The captain wired
that the report would be sent at once.
Captain Crossman of the Alliance to-
night mailed an affidavit to Secretary of
State Gresham to Washington regarding
the firing on the Alliance. He states in
brief that his vessel at the time of the
firing was four miles from the coast of
Cuba. He said he had saluted the Spanish
craft and proceeded on his way.
"About five minutes or possibly less"
continued he. "after the salute 1 heard a
gun fired and turned to see what it meant
Mr.. Russell reported that the Spaniard had
fired blank cartridge. AS it was on
the high seas I did not intend to
stop, so he could fire away, which
he did-another blank shot about three or
four minutes after the first and shortly
afterward at intervals of few minutes
three more guns with solid shot were fired
at us. All fell short, two off the port
quarter and the last astern of the star
board quarter, striking the water about a
quarter of a mile distant.
"The Spaniard, after firing the first gun.
altered his course again. He was heading
directly for US. We were gaining on
him, and at $50 A. NJ. he was fully five
miles astern and I saw that the gunboat
was heading to the west, apparently giving
up the chase.
"Then we were fully three miles ahead
of the Spaniard. Signals were flying from
her, but we were far off and too much in
line to make them out. We were from
nine to ten miles off the coast at the time
the first gun was fired, and at no time
were we within four miles of the shore.
After that our course took us directly off
the land"

HUNTINGTON VERY SLY,
Bringing Influence to Bear tc
Secure His Land
Patents.
SEVERAL ATTORNEYS ENGAGED.
But the Callfornians Are Guarding
Against the Tactics of the
Southern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Collis P
Huntington had an interview with the Sec
rotary of the Interior to-day regarding the
interests of the Pacific railroads respecting
the report that the Secretary intends to is
sue an order directing that no more
patents for land issue to the Union and
Central Pacific roads until there has been a
settlement of the Indebtedness of these
companies.
Huntington represented to the Secre-
tary that the lands had all been earned in
time, and in many cases they had been
transferred to persons who had occupied
them for ten to twenty years. He also
said that the companies were not seeking
patents in instances where the roads had
not disposed of the lands, as they became
taxable as soon as patents issued. States
and counties in which lands were situated
were more interested in securing patents,
as they became entitled to taxes as soon as
the patents were passed. Further than this
the companies desired to dispose of lands
TO secure money to meet payments now
about due.
Huntington thought it would hinder the
company from securing money on the
lands if such an order had been issued,
and he represented that nothing ought to
be done by the Government to prevent the
company from raising funds.
Huntington, however, did not consider
this of so much Importance as he did the
question of settlement for the Pacific
roads debt, and he believed the recon-
mendations made by the Secretary of the
Interior would have great weight in the
next Congress. He insisted that before
1897 the Government must act or it would
lose heavily.
Huntington expressed the hope that the
reports of the Secretary and Commissioner
of Railroads would elaborate on the sub
ject of the Indebtedness and devise Just
and equitable plan of settlement.
Representative Caminetti delays his re-
turn to California in order that he may
watch Huntington's work before the Land
Department. Caminetti is strongly pro-
testing against the further issuance of
patents to the Southern Pacific, and Hunt
ington is bringing all his influence to bear
to have the patents rushed through. He
has employed several attorneys.
Representative English will start for
California tomorrow. via New Orleans.
