REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT UNDER
WOODS STATEMENT OF ALA
BAMA POLITICS.
The Free Silver Men Are in the Majority.
He Thinks it Would Increase Prices
and Enliven Business in Every
Respect.

Washington, June S.-Among the yOun:
men who vii! be in the Fifty fourth con
gress is Representative-elect Underwood
of the Sixth district of Alabama. Mr.
| Underwood has been in this city durin;
the past several days making his frs
visit since his election to congress. Ii
his district are included Birmingham anC
| Bessemer, his own home being Just out
side of the former city, where he practice,
| law.
The representative of the Sixth Alaham;
| district is 50 years of age, though a clear
| shaven face gives him THE appearance Of
| being half 4 dozen years younger. He
was educated at the University of Vir
Sinia, and when a student there he was
quite familiar with Washington. where
he visited frequently. He is a native OF
kentucky, Senator Joseph r. Under
wood, the colleague of Henry Clay al
the time of the latter's death, being his
grandfather. When Mr.. Underwood was
graduated from the University of Virginia
I'D years ago, he determined to carve out
a career in a new field and that being at
the time birmingham was beginning to
boom, he went there and has since re-
manned there practicing law. While tax
ing an active part in politics he did not run
for any office until last fall when he was
erected by majority OF ll66 over his
republican opponent on the single issue
or the tariff, he supporting the policy of
tariff reform.
Inc people of Alabama, so far as they
are thinking OF politics. said Mr.. Under
Wood 10 reporter today, ARE thinking
OF Dut one thlng-that is money. They
want more money IN circulation. In the
campaign l declared myself for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at some
ratio which shall preserve the parity Of
tne metals. But silver was not an issue
d the campaign for the reason that my
republican opponent was also free sill
yer man.
~, ~ 1eel sure that Alabama will support
my man for the presidency who will come
'ut openly and positively for the free coin
lSe OF silver. That is all there is to Ala
,ama views of the presidency. Among
ne gold Democrats of the State Mr. Car
isle is the favorite., but the free silver peO-
Ne are largely i'll the majority. If Cleve-
and were only a free silver man and
you'd take the reins of our free silver
oach ! would be sure of success. We re-
ara him as a very able man in Alabama
no are sorry he is not on our side.

The silver craze in Kentucky came very
near breaking through into hotter regions
1t got so near hades that the
Thermometer surpassed all precedcnts
in June, in that State and
stood at 100 degrees in the shade. The
Republican convention that nominated
Colonel Bradley for governor with sound
money platform "sorter" cooled off the at
mosphere, hut if Joe Blackburn and the
other silverites had rampaged around q
little more they would have kicked through
the thin crust and taken a plunge into the
regions of the burning sulphur lake, where
the worm never dieth.

Nj. de Routkawsky, the financial agent of
Russia who is now in Washington, tells
Il New York World correspondent that
Russia is preparing and has been for many
years to place the commerce of that coun-
try on gold basis. But he
says that Russia is willing to
enter into an international agreement,
whenever the rest of the world will do so,
to establish the double standard. 1t is a
noticeable fact that the friends Of silver in
every other country but this are unwilling
to adopt double standard and make silver
circulate at parity with gold unless
''the rest of the nations will do So" In
the United States alone the silverites
want to try it single handed.

Mr. Harrison must have felt more at
his ease when he dined with Wannamakcr
in Philadelphia than he did when he dned
with Dr. Depew in New York at the

CAPITALIST MAYNE I'LL,
Suffering From a Severe Attack
of Pneumonia Since Last
Saturday.
His Physicians Reported Last Night
That There Is Prospect of
His Recovery.

Charles Mayne, capitalist, residing at
the Palace Hotel, who fell i'll of pneu-
monia on Saturday evening at the Pacific
Union Club, was reported by his physician,
DR.. Max Richter, at 10 o'clock, so far i'm
proved as to be out of present danger. Mr..
Mayne appeared quite hopeful of recovery,
and as the fever had been diminished very
considerably within the preceding twenty
four hours, there is prospect OF his being
able to withstand the attack in spite of his
age and feeb!eness.
Mr.. Mayne is II years old and has
been actually engaged in business in this
City for the past forty years, coming here
from Germany. He was IN early days a
member of the banking house of the Bel
loo Company, but withdrew from the house
fifteen years before the failure. Since that
time he has given his attention to his in
dividual affairs, with offices IL the Spring
Valley Water Company's building. He
has been known for his transformations
charities, and when the failure of the Bel
loo Company occurred paid out of hrs own
resources 80 per cent OF the losses TO stock
holders.
feeble health and constantly attended by
a valet. His habits have been very regu-
lar, leaving his hotel at certain hour
daily, spending portion of his time at
his office, and going thence to the Pacific
Union Club, where he occupied a favorite
scat by one of the Post-street windows.
During these years of feeble health he
has done but little walking making his
trips from the hotel to his destina-
ton and return in the streetcars.
On Saturday evening last while at the
club he suffered from a fainting spell
such as usually precedes pneumonia. DIR.
Richter was Immediately called, and after
the patient had been removed to the
Palace he became so ill that DIR. Adolph
Kahn was called in consultation. Mrs.
Barroihet, assisted by w. ]. Kelly, a
trained nurse and Mr.. Mavne's valet, is in
constant attendance at the sick mans
rooms.

|NCEHD|AR|S N At ANGELS
A Firebug Attempts to Destroy
the Leading Hotel of the
Town.
Neighboring Women Discover TIT
Flames Before They Have Gained
Great Roadway.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, Dec. "a de
liberaTe attempt was made at 3 o'clock this
morning to destroy the Angels Hotel, the
leading hosiery of this place, owned by
Otto Downing, but leased by B. H. Worces-
ter. Three piles of paper and rags had
been saturated with kerosene, placed in
and against wooden structures in the rear
of the hotel and ignited. One blaze was
discovered by women who live in the
neighborhood, and the three fires were ex-
tinguished before material damage was
done.
1t is believed that dishwasher who had
been elected from the hotel committed the
crime through revenge. Could it be proved
that he is the culprit his punishment would
be sure and swift, as the people are greatly
incensed over this attempt at incendiarism.
The main hotel building is tire-proof, and.
as it is well protected by water facilities,
the firebug could hardly have accom-
plished his purpose, but the destruction TO
other property might have been great.
J. ". Morgan, the suspected man, was
this evening sent to jail for ten days for
disturbing the peace. Later developments
may warrant more serious charge beng
lodged against him.

LAND FOR INDIANS.
Red Men Urging Their Claims to an
Oregon Grant.

Red Men Urging Their Claims to an
Oregon Grant.
PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 9.-Captain I.
D. Apologize, attorney for the Klamaths,
Modoc and Snake Indians on the reserva-
ton, is back at Klamath Falls from Salem.
He has been to the capital looking up the
status of the reservation lands granted to
the Indians by the treaty OF October IA,
1864. The California and Oregon Land
Company claims title to about 100000
acres under the old Central Military
Wagon Road grant on the Klamath reser-
walton.
Mr.. Apologize is confident that the mat
ter will be SO adjusted that the Indians
will receive the lands, since the attention
of the authorities is now fully directed to
this important matter. Senators Mitchell
and Mcbride and Representatives Her
mann and Ellis are expected to make q
united effort to have the matter equitably
adjusted at the present session of Con-
gress, as Congressional action will doubt
less be necessary to settle the question
finally. The unsettled condition of land
titles on the reservation is now seriously
embarrassing the allotment of lands, ana
both whites and Indians are much inter
ested in the result of the efforts being
made to settle these long-vexed questions.

EUREKA,S NEW RAILWAY.
Preliminary Work Progressing Upon
IaCO Proposed lines.

TaCo Proposed Lines.
EUREKA, CAL, Dec. 9.-Surveyors for
the California, Oregon and Idaho Railroad
have finished the survey on the water
front in Eureka and are now over half way
to Arcata, a distance of twelve miles.
The survey of the old Trinidad road, made
years ago, is being used. The surveyors
are now past Freshwater, and are expected
to reach and pass through Arcata in q
couple of days.
The last rights of way of the most i'm
portant local railroad line built in the
county for many years were signed to-day.
They were for an extension of the Vance
railroad on Mad River to deep water on
the bay at Samoa. The extension will
necessitate a large bridge over Mad River
and a drawbridge over the arm of the bay,
beside some trestle. The new road will
be something over ten miles in length and
will pass directly through the town OF
Arcata.
1t will be standard gauge and viii ulti-
mately be the roadbed used by trans
continental road in reaching deep water
on the bay. The traffic will be principally
in lumber, logs and passengers.

Lewis Love Cut Off With a
Paltry 500 From His
~
Wife's Estate.
HER LAST TESTAMENT ALTERED
Extensive Fraud Perpetrated by a
Quartet Indicted by the
Grand Jury.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 9.-Jonathan
Tice and George c. Smith, well-known
citizens of Portland, are in the county
Jail. Last Saturday the Grand Jury re-
turned an indictment charging them, in
conjunction with F. C. Motif and George
w. Edgar, with the forgery of the will OF
Nancy M. Love, for the purpose Of defraud-
ing Lewis Love, her husband.
The indictments set forth that the
forgery was committed on January a. 1894.
The will bears date of June II, 1887, is wit
messed by Jonathan Tice and George H.
Smith, aud sworn to before r. I. Eaton as
notary public By its provisions Lewis
Love, the husband, gets only 500. An I'M
divided sixteenth of the estate is be-
queathed to the children of William Love,
deceased, to he equally divided, and the
balance of the estate goes to the children
of the devisor, F. D. Love, c.. c. Love,
Lewis P. Love, Matilda J. Corich and
Mary C. Stafford, to be divided share and
share alike. Lewis Love, the husband,
and +. ID. Love, one of the sons, are named
as co-executors.
Although the indictment was returned
by the Grand Jury last Saturday, it was
not mace public until this morning, as it
was feared the defendants, Tice and Smith,
would avoid arrest. Smith was taken into
custody Saturday night, and Tice was
brought into town last night by Deputy
Sheriff Sprague, who found him at DiIley,
in Washington County. near Hillsboro.
f. c. Motif, the third defendant, cannot
be got at for some time yet, as he is at
- -
Salem for forgery. He was sent up last
spring from Marion County. Motfit was
formerly III the life insurance business in
this city and is we'll known here
George w. Edgar, the fourth of the
quartet, is even more difficult to get than
Motif. He is an attorney, was tried here
and convicted on the charge of forgery
and pending an appeal of his case to the
Supreme Court jumped his bail. He was
out under bonds in the sum of $500,
with Horatio Cook and J. l.. Lewis as
sureties. Suit is now pending to recover
the amount of the bond from the bonds
men. Nothing has been heard of Edgar
since his sudden and mysterious dis
appearance from this city about two
years ago.
Jonathan Tice is well-known lumber
man who was formerly wealthy. He has
figured in the courts considerably of late
years and has lost about everything he
ever had.
George G. Smith is well-known
steamboat man, and for a time was en-
ployed on the Stark-street ferry.
In May, 1898, 7. 7. Struble, A. w.
Stowell and Philo Holbrook, as appraisers
of the estate OF Nancy Love, deceased,
placed valuation of $l34, 225 55 on the
estate.

STOCKTON,S NEW ASYLUM
Work Upon the Structure Is NOtC Veil
Under Hay.

Work. Upon the Structure Is NOtC WeU
Under Way.
STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 9.-On January
l $1,000 will come into the hands of the
directors of the State Insane Asylum.
This money is the preparation made by
the last Legislature for repairs on the
ASYLUM building, and was long and
anxiously waited for.
The money having been appropriated
the directors tried to get it last summer,
but were unable to do so.
When the matter of repairing the struc-
ture known as the odd asylum building
came up an investigation revealed the
fact that no estimate could be made as to
what it would cost, so worthless had IL be-
come from age.
Repairing the building virtually meant
building a new structure. The board of
directors therefore decided that it would
be more feasible 10 advertise for bids for a
new building. About two months ago the
erection of new building was decided
upon.
Considering the cheapness OF material
the board believes that it could save money
If the work could be done soon. On this
theory 1t proceeded to advertise for bids,
the work to go on at once and the first
payment to fall due after January 1, 1896.
The bids were opened at the last meet
ing of the board, accepted and contract
let. The building is now under way. The
directors considered the bids exceptionally
low. The new structure will cost, all told,
about $4,000. The old building, of the
same dimensions, cost the State $50, 900
some forty years ago.
