FUMlGATiON OF MAILS.
Opening of Yellow Fever Season Lea
Officials to Take Action.

Opening of Yellow Fever Season Leads
Officials to Take Action.
New York, April 30.-The beginning
of the yellow fever season in the tropi-
cal portions of Central and South
America and the West Indies has re-
vived the annual question as to the
danger of infection being conveyed to
the United States in letters or newspa-
pers mailed from those countries. The
New York health authorities have re-
quested that all mails from tropical
countries shall be fumigated before dis
tribution.
The immediate cause of the request
was the recent arrival in New York
of mail steamer from Brazil, one of
whose crew died of yellow-fever on the
voyage north. Postmaster Dayton in
forwarding the health authorities re-
quest said that he did not know the
exact extent of his powers, and asked
Instructions. Personally he regarded
the chance of infection as exceedingly
small.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Nelson replied today that in view of
the small expense and labor involved
and the amount of loss and grief that
might be occasioned by only one death,
it seemed to him advisable to begin a
system Of fumigation of mails from
tropical countries during the yellow
fever period. This extends from JAN
uary to September.
Mr.. Nelson invited suggestions from
Mr.. Dayton on the subject before issu-
ing any orders in the matter.

A COMPOSITE DOLLAR.
Suggested as One Solution of the Pres
ent Money Question.

Suggested as One Solution of the Pres
ent Money Question.
Detroit, Mich, April 3O.-The Tri-
bune will tomorrow publish an editor
ial leader which will declare in favor
of the solution of the present money
questions by the creation of new dol
lar, to be composed of proportionate
parts of gold and silver. The article
quotes the declarations of the Republi-
can national platforms of 1883 and
1892 in favor of bimetalism and points
out the dangers of a practical silver
monometalism through the throwing
open of the mints to unlimited coinage.
1t calls upon the party to fulfill its
platform pledges by formulating with
out delay a practical scheme for bimet-
alism. Continuing, the paper advo-
Gates the composite dollar as measure
easiest to effect and with the least dis
turbance to business Of any plan sug-
gested. As to the question whether the
proposed dollar would be available for
export, the Tribune says:
"It would not be necessary to export
the coin while uncoined gold could be
procured which would be just as avail
able. If at any time it became neces-
sary to separate the gold from the silver
it could be done at the mint at cost of
less than per cent. The cost would
be protection against the expectation
Of coin while unused bullion was OBJ
tainable' -

Hearst School for Girls, the First OF
Protestant Episcopal Buildings.

Hearst School for Girls, the First of
Protestant Episcopal Buildings.
Washington, April 81. - Ground
will be broken this summer for the
Hearst school for girls, which is to be
the first of the proposed group of build
ings for the Protestant Episcopal cathe-
dral of the District of Columbia. The
charter conferred by congress in
cludes within it's scope not merely the
cathedral proper, but adjunct institu-
tions of all benevolent character, to-
gether with broad educational scheme.
Before sailing for Europe Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst, widow of the late senator from
California, made to the cathedral trus-
tees donation of $175,O0 to provide
for the girls school to be called after
her name. Three years from next au
opened for pupils. A department for
the higher education of women will
ultimately be a part of the scheme.
The board Of trustees hope that gener-
GUS persons will now come forward to
give money to increase the various en-
dowment funds, each fund to bear the
donors name, and that other persons
will build other parts of the whole
cathedral scheme, such as the boys
school, the chapel, the bishops house,
the seminary for higher theological
education, the convention hall, resi-
dences for the clergy, etc., and the
cathedral itself, which is to crown the
whole.

A CHANCE BLOW DID IT.
Mccarthy Knocked Out In Less Than q
Minute.

Mccarthy Knocked Out In Less Than q
Galveston, April 30.-By a chance
blow Dan Creedon knocked out Billy
Mccarthy in the fremont opera house
tonight, in less than minute. John
Duffy was the referee. Mccarthy was
a little slow in putting up his hands.
Creedon took advantage of it and land
ed on the side of his chin with his left,
which dazed Mccarthy. He followed
it up with his right, knocking McCar-
thy against the ropes and nearly upset.
ting the post to which the gong was
fastened. Mccarthy still stood his
ground, but was too dazed to defend
himself. He stood up again and was
promptly knocked against the ropes.
Again he came up dazed and a tap on
the chin put him out. Referee Duffy
put his arms around Mccarthy and he
fell and counted him out. Mccarthy
recovered Immediately and walked to
his dressing room. Nearly 1900 peo-
pie witnessed the fight. The crowd
was much dissatisfied with the out
come, having expected long fight, for
both men were in excellent condition,
evenly matched and had the middle
weight championship honor to settle
between them, since Fitzsimmons has
gone into the heavyweight class. Pro-
fessor Duffy said that he very much
regretted the outcome, adding:
81 expected it to last twenty rounds
at least, but it was chance blow which
first dazed Mccarthy, and Creedon
followed it up until he finished him. -

FORTUNE SEEKING THE MAN.
Detectives Still Searching for Informa-

Detectives Still Searching for Informa-
tion Regarding Anse1 White.
Santa Cruz, Cal, April 29.-Detec-
tives are still searching for informa-
tion regarding Ansel White, who left
here in 1865 and has not been heard Of
since, and for whom an estate worth
100000 is waiting in New York.
Today a man was found who threw
more light on Whites disappearance
than anyone has thus far. S. Wash
um, of FELTON,, had an adjoining farm
to White thirty years ago, and they
had been companions. He says that
when White was here he gave $500 to
the keeping of a lady and then went to
San Francisco, accompanied by young
man named Jordan, who left him there
and returned to Santa Cruz. White
says he was going to Washington,
which was then a territory. A few
years afterward Washum went to Ore
gon, but did not hear of White. On
his return to Santa Cruz the lady who
was keeping the money had Washum
write to persons in the place where
White intended locating in Washing
ton, but the reply was that White never
reached there. Washum is satisfied
that White is dead, or he would have
written to him years ago.

WLDES TRIAL BEGUN.
It Will Be on All of the Counts Of the
indictments.

1nQf0Cm0ng8s
London, April 29.-Oscar Wilde and
Albert Taylor were brought for trial
today to Old Bailey and pleaded not
guilty.
Men and women fought for standing
room near the door through which the
prisoners must enter the court. The
jury, composed of highly intelligent
appearing middle-aged tradesmen, was
polled at 1920 A. M, and few min
utes later Wilde and Taylor were
placed in the prisoners dock.
Wilde's face was drawn and hag-
gard. His hair had been cut and his
wager had entirely disappeared.
Justice Charles opened court at
1926. A lengthy discussion followed
as to whether the prisoners should be
tried on all of the twenty-five separate
counts of the Indictment.
Sir Edward Clarke, @. c., for the
defense, objected to such course, but
the jury overruled him. The prisoners
then pleaded not guilty.
G. T. Gill, in behalf of the treasury,
opened for the prosecution, reoiting
the known history of the case, dwell
ing upon the association of Wilde with
Taylor, and giving a graphic descrip-
tion of Taylor's darkened, perfumed
rooms, where Wilde was in the habit
of meeting his associates. Counsel
went in detail through the various
charges, reviewing all the testimony
already presented.
Charles Parker was the first witness
His testimony was most revolving, but
the judge held it to be necessary that
charges against Wilde should be ex-
planned in detail.

LANDING OF MAcEo.
Baracoba, Where It Occurred, Now
Strongly Guarded.

Gibara, Cuba, April 30.-Your cor
respondent has just arrived from the
town of Baracoba, which awoke April
1 to find it had gained prominence by
the landing of Maceo and his party.
The town has subsidized again into its
tranquility, excepting that $50 govern
ment soldiers arrived from Guantana-
mo April 2, and were followed few
days later by 200 more, who came over
land from Santiago. The soldiers are
guarding the Notifications and entrances
to the town both day and night. Be-
sides the regulars, there is volunteer
focre of 800 men that patrol the streets
at night, and any effort on the
part of the insurgents to enter or cap
ture the town would be almost an i'm
possibility, unless, perhaps, they were
in very large numbers. The party that
landed on the 1st doubtless have found
it somewhat unpleasant around here
and have evidently sought more con-
genial quarters. The few that left the
town to join those that landed are
mostly mulattoes. 1t is said they are
not many miles from Baracoba, and are
QoSlrOuS OF returning TO Gnelr nOIHoS,
but fear imprisonment.
Last night official kilograms were
received from Guantanamo stating that
regulars and insurgents had exchanged
a few shots, which resulted in the kill
ing of Alor Crombet and another insur-
gent and the capture Of seven rebels
and all their arms. The dispatches
further state that Maceo, with his few
followers is said to be SO surrounded
that he will be either killed or starved
to death.
1t is rumored Maceo is very much
dissatisfied with the conditions of af-
fairs on the island and says he has been
deceived in coming to Cuba. He ex-
pected to find the entire island up in
arms, but upon his arrival he finds
things entirely different. The two
English sailors captured from off the
steamer Honora, which landed Maceo,
were sent to Santiago some days ago on
the man-of-war Conde de Venadito.
The very latest news today states
that all Maceo's forces, except two,
have been captured.

ON THE RESERVATION
The Courts Order Further
Comp1icates Matters.
SETTLERS WILL BE ELECTED
The Court Refused to Order the Land
Company and Settlers to vacate
the Disputed Lands.

Lincoln, Neb., April 29.-The fed.
eral court has refused to grant the in.
junction requested by the government
to restrain the Flournoy Land Com
pany from issuing more leases on the
Winnebago reservation to settlers.
This complicates the trouble. Captain
Beck now declares that he will at once
eject all the settlers now on the reser-
vation. The decision was rendered by
Judges Dundy and Riner, sitting to-
gether. Several months ago an order
was issued restraining the land COM
pany from making any more leases.
This injunction was continued until
such time as the case would be heard
on its merits. 1t is said tonight the
ruling of the court will not deter
Agent Beck from proceeding with the
eviction of the tenants who claim their
farms under the disputed leases. Beck
said tonight that he would at once evict
all settlers. A conflict of authority is
possible.
In 1880 speculators began operating
in these lands under illegal leases, and
have continued to do so ever since
The Flournoy company leased $1,000
acres of land of the Indians for about
20 cents an acre and sublet it for from
81 to So. All these original leases from
the Indians were clearly illegal and
for years Indian agents have attempted
to break up this system. In the five
injunction cases being brought the
same questions were raised. Attorneys
for the government preferred to proceed
by civil process instead of employing
the military force at its command. All
the government wanted to do was to
enforce collection of a fair lease and
get rid of the speculators. The Indians
were to be permitted to lease the lands
in accordance with the established rule
of the department at Washington.
The courts decision today in refus-
ing to order the land company and set
tiers to vacate its disputed lands makes
the trouble more complicated than be-
foro

AGAINST CANNERYMEN.
Eastern Wholesalers Wish q Cash Dis
count ON Salmon Sales.

Eastern Wholesalers Wish Cash Dis
count ON Salmon Sales.
Astoria, April 29.-Eforts are being
made by New York and Chicago whole
salers to force Columbia river salmon
Gamers to allow them one and one
half per cent cash discount on sales of
salmon. This is believed to be by the
cannerymen another move in the per-
sistent attempt of middlemen to drive
the cannerymen down to the lowest
possible margin short of absolute loss,
and is warmly resented by local pack
ers as an unwarrantable encroachment.
Owing to the fact that firm front on
the part of the cannefymen will defeat
the scheme, all the packers on the river
will doubtless stand together on the
question. Steps to that end were taken
as soon as the news Of the action of the
Eastern grocers was received here to-
day, and there is every probability that
the wholesalers will be worsted.
