BANK OFFICIALS INDICTED
Fourteen Counts Against the Presi-
dent of Defunct Institution.

Fourteen Counts Against the Presi-
dent of Defunct Institution.
TACOMA CWash.), Feb. 17-After de-
liberating and taking testimony for
week the Federal Grand Jury to-day re-
turned an Indictment against Major
Henry B. Oliver, President of the de-
funct Columbia National Bank, and
Cashier w. G. Peters. as accessory, for
embezzlement. They will be arraigned
tomorrow to plead.
When National Bank Examiner
Charles Clary took possession of the
bank last fall, he found its affairs in a
bad condition. Partly as the result of
his discoveries, two public Treasurers
are now awaiting trial on criminal
charges
Clary unearthed some peculiar trans
actions of Oliver. The latter stood high
in the community, and was President of
the City Board of Education. AS the
result of CIary's discoveries, oliver was
arrested, waived preliminary hear
ing, and was released on $4,000 bonds,
awaiting the action of the Grand Jury.
The indictment against Oliver con-
tains fourteen counts, in effect that
Oliver prevailed upon d. Bottenus, a
merchant tailor of Cincinnati, who
owned $4,000 worth of stock in the
bank, to make deposit of $4,000; that
after the deposit was made Oliver had
the money transferred to his own per-
sonal account and proceeded to check it
out. Evidence that he had done so was
not destroyed.
divers defense will be ignorance of
banking and that he believed the action
to have been legitimate. Bottenus has
been here several weeks, and will push
the prosecution.
Oliver formerly was a member of the
faculty of Girard College, Philadelphia,
and has a good war record. Before
coming here in 1887 he was at the head
of the House of Correction in Cincin-
natl.
The trial of j. w. McCauley, ex-City
Treasurer, charged with mailing
profit out of public funds by drawing
interest on deposits in the Columbian
National Bank, was begun to-day. The
day was occupied in securing a jury.

INSIDE POLITICAL HISTORY. :"
Ex-senator Goucher Says Governo
Budd is After Whites Seat.

DLu0 - xAAACI " IAtbC > 2OsNSs
FRESNO, Feb. Hex Senator Gou-
cher, prominent in the councils of the
Democratic party of California and
chief editor of the Fresno "Watchman,
has just made public a political secret
through the medium of his newspaper.
1t is decidedly in the nature of inside
history" but the ex-senator seems to
have no compunction of conscience for
what might be regarded in some quar-
ters as a breach of confidence. The
statesman editor, without circumlocu-
ton or apology, says:
about a year ago prominent Demo-
cratic politician told the writer that he
knew that John Daggett of the United
States Mint at San Francisco and Gov
ernor Budd had combined to do poll
ties together. The ultimate results
were stated to be that one or the other
could be sent to the United States SEN
ate in place of Steve White, provided, OF
course, that a Democratic Legislature
could be opportunely secured.
I'm this connection 1t will be remem-
bered that Governor Budd's time as
Governor will be out about a week or
two before Senator Whites successor
will have to be chosen by the Legisla-
ture. This will avoid the State Con-
stitution's inhibition against a Gov
ernor's eligibility to become United
States Senator during his incumbency
of the great State Office. Daggett' $
time as Mint superintendent will be out
in time to look out for the Senatorship,
too.
"The only feature of the story con-
firmed by facts is that the Governor
has appointed some of Daggett's friends
to State positions, and Daggett has re-
ciprocated in the usual manner by re-
cognizing some of Budd's friends. There
is another circumstance giving color to
the story, and that is that Daggett
could not be induced to appoint one of
Senator Whites sisters to a position
in the mint.
'It is certain that Daggett has no
use for White, but if Daggett and Budd
are really in close political alliance the
reason of attraction between them is
not apparent unless Daggett wants to
be Governor or Budd wants to succeed
himself, and the Senatorship has been
accordingly arranged. We prefer to
believe that Budd will let such q. pro-
posed combination alone. If Daggett
wants to make a fight against White
let him have an uninterrupted chance
to do so, and then the people of Cali
fornia will easily decide the question
without crushing the Governors politi-

NEW ORLEANS CARNIVAL.
Crowds of People Flock to the SOUTH

Crowds OF People FLOCK TO the SOuth-
ern City.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 17.--Never in
its history has New Orleans been so
crowded during the carnival season.
For two weeks past visitors have been
pouring in by the hundreds. To-day
Standing Room Only might well be
put ,on the outer approaches to the city.
The hotels and boarding houses are
taxed to their utmost capacity, and
every private residence in the city has
it's quota of guests. The weather is
clear and pleasant, and everything is
favorable to big success.
King of the Carnival Rex arrived on
a special steamer at the foot of Canal
street at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. The
lam of humanity was unprecedented.
The King was enthusiastically received,
and on his disadvantage the procession
moved UP Canal to Camp street, from
where it marched to the City Hall. Ar
irving there, the usual ceremonies were
observed. and the keys of the city were
turned over to his majesty by the
Mayor For the next forty-eight hours
Rex will reign supreme in the city.
Tonight the Rex ball took place at
washington Artillery Hall, and the
beautiful tableau and procession Of
Proteus paraded. The Krewe of Pro-
teus in their gorgeous pageants to-

ton to fight. He is another stiff like
Corbett. You are putting up a bluff
mot much," responded Connolly,
quietly. "Maher is not afraid to meet
you in the ring or anywhere else
You want to crawl out" suggested
Julian.
Yes they want to crawl" yelled
Fitzsimmons. ''They are a lot of ours. .
Then turning to the throng on the
other side of the railing, he yelled
louder than ever: This fights off,
gentlemen; / won't fight. They never
intended to fight. Now, boys, / give
notice that I'll fight that big stiff Cor
bett at any time. Let's have a cigar"
and with that the pugilist stalked
through the office doorway and pushed
his way around the crowd to the street
Julian, who seemed chagrined at Fitz-
simmons talk, k,.remained behind.
The wrangling over the question of
giving up forfeit money continued, and
finally Julian made the proposition that
it be left to a vote of five men to be Sc
lected BY Connolly. The following were
selected: George Siller, Lou House
man, William Naughton, Tom O'Rourke
and Hugh Fitzgerald. Dan Stuart was
chosen Chairman of the committee.
While the committee was debating
Fitzsimmons returned and again an
nounced that he would not fight Friday,
but Julian succeeded in getting him to
withdraw the statement temporarily.
The committee decided that under the
articles neither man was entitled to a
forfeit. Connolly then made a PROPOSE
tion that the Friday plan be considered.
Julian agreed, and explicitly stated that
Fitzsimmons would fight on Friday.
1t was due almost solely to the cool
ness displayed by Connolly and Stuart
that the conference did not break up in
q. bloody fracas. OF the mob of 200
sports and rangers on the other side of
the wire netting partition fully nine
tenths were armed and ready to shoot
on the slightest provocation. Neither
Connolly nor Fitzsimmons carry a gun,
but when the latter, shaking with pas
sion, fiercely shrieked his opinion of
Maher. Connelly's big fingers closed
down upon paper weight fashioned
of ore, and which well directed might
have Drained the heavyweight Just at
that moment Stuart laid his hand ca
-ressingly upon the fingers that still

in with an off-hand remark that was
calculated to distract attention.
Fitzsimmons knew nothing of the re-
suit of the after conference until Julian
went across the river later on. He was
in an ugly mood and inclined to kick
over the traces, but after being hui
mored for while was induced to admit
that the outcome was fair to all con-

that the amendment had been moved
in the interests of arbitration, but he
did not think that he could insist that
the amendment was the best way to at
tain the end in view. Of course. such
an amendment could not be accepted
by the Government, and must, If
pressed to a division, be lost by a large
majority. If that happened, it would
go forth to America that the House had
pronounced against arbitration. al
though he was convinced that that was
the end that all wished to be attained.
(Cries of "Hear, hear")
What the House had to do was to
show that there was no difference of
opinion on the subject He was per-
fectly certain that both inside and out
side of the House the consensus of opin-
ion was in favor of peaceful arbitration.
Their main object ought to be to ex-
press such opinion. 1t could not be done
by joining issue on the amendment. He
took the opportunity to deprecate the
language sometimes used, alleging that
Cleveland had acted from election mo-
tives. There seemed to be a tendency
in certain quarters to think that the
United States had acted in sudden,
offensive manner. AS a matter of fact,
they had been pressing for a settlement
of the question for the last ten years,
always in most friendly spirit. iCries
Of Hear, hear.)
Every effort ought to be made to re-
move all causes of irritation. He trusted
that no further delay would occur, and
that everything would be done to bring
about a speedy settlement
Sir William further said that the
points of difference between Great Brit
ain and the United. States were insignifi-
cant, and could easily be settled by the
Cabinets of both countries, but if the
populace on both sides were allowed to
raise excitement through ignorance of
the real matters at issue, there would
be great danger of strife. He appealed
to Mr.. Atherley-Jones to withdraw his
amendment, which was done, the
Speaker checking an attempt on the
part of the Irish members to continue
the discussion.
In its issue of tomorrow the "Daily

add that as matter of fact delicate
