special 10 The Heralnl

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 30-The
Acting Secretary of the Treasury Scott
Wike, today transmitted to the house
OF representatives a letter asking that
S2'O45 be appropriated for repairs and i'm
provements of the Industrial Christian
Home building. He enclosed a letter from
the assistant secretary of the interior,
in which the letter says:
Upon the admission of Utah as a.
state, the Utah commission, which then
became functus oficia, was directed to
surrender the building to the receiver of
the land office at Salt Lake city. who
was designated as custodian. The latter
advises this department that the build
ing is adapted for and can accommodate
the United States district court, the dis
trict attorneys office. the judges cham
Der, the United States marshal, the sig
nal Service, and deputy collector of in
ternal revenue. besides the local land
office and surveyor generals office; but
that the building needs repairs, heating
apparatus, etc. AS the bills for repairs
already made appear to be reasonable,
L have submitted an estimate of the ap-
preparation to pay Arthur Croxford and
Edward H. Rush for the same. as well
as an estimate of 5000 for additional re-
pairs, heating apparatus, furniture, etc.
and commend the same for your favor
able consideration

WASHINGTON, March SO.-The
president today sent to the senate the
nomination of Benjamin j. j. Franklin
of Arizona to be governor of that ter
ritory. The term of the present gov
ernor Hughes) would not have expired
until April /. 1897. The appointment of
Mr.. Franklin is, no doubt, the result
of bitter factional fight. Charges
and counter charges have been made.
Whether the nominal ton is due to the
resignation of Governor Hughes or to
removal, cannot be learned, as Off
Gals at the White House and in the
other departments refuse to discuss the
subject. The date upon which the new
governor will qualify is not apparent,
but it is taken for granted that he will
assume Office as soon as he is con-
firmed by the senate.
The new appointee served two terms
in the house of representatives as a
member from Kansas City, Mo. Later,
under the former Cleveland admins
tration, he was consul to Hankow.
China, and upon his return settled in
Arizona and recently became can
didate for governor.

BERTHELoT's ACTION.
Resignation Said to Be Due to III
Health and Family Affection
Other Ideas.

PARIS, March 3O.-The political sit
uatfon here has not changed and it is
believed that the status quo will be
maintained until the discussion of the
governments policy towards Egypt
comes up in the chamber of deputies.
probably on Thursday.
One newspaper insists that the resig-
nation of NJ. Berthelo was due to i'll
health and family affection.
The post of minister of the interior
is not yet filed, and it is believed that
the choice lies between NJ. Viger and
NJ. Goblet
The Gaulois publishes a sensational
statement to the effect that it was the
president. NJ. Faure, who caused the
resignation of the minister for foreign
affairs. According to the story NJ. Faure
summoned III. Berthelot to his study
just before the cabinet council and
appealed to him to give up his portfo-
lilo. 1t is stated that Nj. BertheIot final
ly surrendered it upon the energetic
insistence of the president and con-
scented to retire. The forthcoming de-
bate in the chamber and senate is ex-
pected to result in profit to the govern
ment, who count upon a majority of
eighty. Only a portion of the centrists
desire to seize the occasion for upset
ting the ministry, the others holding
that even radical cabinet should be
supported at a moment like the present
when opposition is ill timed and IN
patriotic. Should the debate take
dangerous turn, it is probable that N.
De Lioniele, a member of the opposi-
ticn, will speak in support of the min
istry and point out the necessity of
giving NJ. Bourgeois a free hand to
aa1 vii ia cit
NJ. Bourgeois was questioned today by
the budget committee in regard to Mad
agascar. He said that French products
would enter free and that the treaties
concluded by the queen of Madagascar
had been annufled.
Continuing NJ. Bourgeois remarked
1.-THE powers may complain if they
think they have ground to do so. We
have divided the sovereignty, placing
International affairs under local author
ity, but reserving FOR ourselves foreign
sovereignty. The French magistrates
have not had up to the present jurisdic-
ton over foreigners

1t Was Landed.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The
treasury department has evidence
tending to show that the steamship
Commodore, which recently cleared
from Charleston, S. c., with arms and
ammunition, did not lose her cargo in
a storm at sea as reported by her cap
tain, but landed it on the coast of
Cuba. The collector of customs at
Charleston, in a report to the secre-
tary of the treasury, says the Com
modore cleared at that port on the 9th
inst. for Tampa, Fla, with manifest
showing arms, ammunition and artil-
lery. On the 22nd she returned with
out her cargo and on the following day
She entered as from sea. Her captain
made wreck report, which says he
encountered a severe gale and that
her cargo was thrown overheard and
the whole power of all the pumps was
used to keep her afloat. This state
ment is now contradicted by one of
the Commodore's firemen, who stated
that the cargo was successfully landed
on the coast of Cuba. Other evidence
in support of the fireman's story is
promised, and in case it is proven to
be true, the vessel, it is said at the
department, is liable to forfeiture to
the government for violation of the
navigation laws relating to clearance
papers.

WASHINGTON, March SO.-Tne sem
ate is to have a revival of financial and
bond discussion as a result of an ami
mated debate shortly before the ses
sion closed TO-DAY. Mr.. PETERS reso-
luton for the appointment of special
committee of five senators to investi-
gate recent bond issues had been rele-
gated to the calendar, owing to the
opposition of Mr.. Hill, but it was
reached in the regular order today.
Again Mr.. Hill sought to have the
resolution go over, but he was met by
energetic protests not only from MIR.
PETER. but also from Mr.. Wolcott and
Mr.. Teller. The latter gave notice
that further delays would be resisted
and Mr. PETER followed with notice
that he would move tomorrow to pro-
coed with this bond inquiry resolu
ton as soon as Mr.. George concludes
a speech on the Dupont case. This
promises to bring test vote unless
tactics postpone the measure.
Among the bills passed today were
those appropriating 50, 900 for

TEXAS LAND CASE.
A Decision which VIII Serve as n
Precedent.

decision Which VIII Serve as n
Precedent.
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The de-
cision of the court below in the case
of Russ VS.. Telfener, involving title to
1.16O,S20 acres of land in Ell Paso coun-
ty, Tex, was reversed by the supreme
court today and the case remanded
for new trial. Justice Field read the
opinion of the court in this case.
This is the second opinion that has
been rendered by the supreme court
in this case, and in both cases the
opinion has beer in Telfener's favor.
Tehener is an Italian count and Russ
citizen of Texas. IN November, 1882,
Russ agreed to sell the land in question
TO Telfener for % cents an acre. He
acquired it from the state under
state law. but when he announced his
readiness to turn the land over to Tel
fener the latter repudiated the con-
tract, alleging that Russ would not
have surveyed the land, as he claimed
that he had, within twenty days, and
could not, therefore, make good title.
The federal courts of Texas sustained
Russ in both trials and gave him a
verdict for $51S,440 The supreme court
again sustained Telfener in its opinion
today and sends the case back to
Texas for third trial

BALL AND CUE.
Prominent Billiard Players Gath
cred at New York from All Quar-
tiers.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Prominent bill
lard players from all over gathered at
Madison Square garden concert hall to-
day to witness the opening of the tourna-
ment in which Frank Ives, Jake Schaefsr
and Albert GARNER are to contest for a
purse of 5000 offered by Maurice DAILY.
The championship game for the past five
years has been at fourteen inches, but
as Ives became so strong at this style
Daily decided to equalize matters this
year by making the game an eighteen
inch balk line. This being a new style to
the players, the experts contesting are
all on the same level. The practice scores
of the men have been so even that at the
start of the tournament none of the
"sharps" present ventured to pick the
winner This is the first of series of
tournaments which will be played here,
in Boston and Chicago. Each of the
players will play the others two games.
and that will make the tournament last
six nights at Madison Square concert hail.
Only the old time handlers of the cue
remember GARNER, for 1t is twenty years
since the Belgian billiardist crossed the
Atlantic. He was trifie nervous to-
night. Schaefer. who is called the wiz
ard'' was the first to make a good run,
scoring 90. The score:

HOT AGAINST BOURGEOIS.

LONDON, March 31.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Daily News says:
Behind the scenes the senate's re-
sentmspt is hot against NJ. Bourgeois.

ing President Faure's tour in the south

try to believe Russia has waxed cold
because a radical socialist government
is in office. This may be true. mas
much as the late car only entered into
the Frsnch alliance after President
Garnet had agreed to govern with re-
action its premiers. 1t is understood
that Baron de Courcel, French am
bassador at London, has advised the
senators to prudence. Courcel denies
the renewed report that he has res sn-
ed. 1t is believed that NJ. Bourgeois
wanted NJ. Hanotaux to take Office, but
the latter is disinclinsd to do so.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 30.-AIrs.
Hiram Smith and family of Coburg are
the innocent victims of an unknown
persons hatred, and live in daily fear
of death. Repeated attempts have
been made to poison the woman and
her children. and OF late the would-be
poisoner has grown bold in his at
tempts. 1t is believed he is crazy or
has mania for murder.
This person visited the Smith house
last Thursday and left some kind of
powder on the top of the jars of milk
Mrs. Smith does not know what the
powder was, but believes it was the
kind of poison used to destroy rats and
squirrels. On this visit the poisoner
left two notes of threatening character.
On the afternoon of the next day he
again visited the premises and put an
the pantry. This substance was of a
whftish color, looked like soda and
tasted like concentrated I've.
Yesterday the family prosecutor
again gained admittance to the prem
Uses unseen by anyone and scattered
poison about the well and in watering
troughs and in the grain bin. Thwarted
thus far in his efforts to take the lives
of the family, the mysterious individ-
ual now seems determined to poison the
stock on the ranch.
The family lives in constant terror,
not knowing what minute its property
may be destroyed or the lives of its
members taken by the unseen enemy
The case has been placed in the hands
of officers.

Great London Paper Figures as a
Plaintiff.
LONDON, March 30-The suit of the
Times against the Central News COM
pany, concern which supplies a GER
tain agency in the United States, was
opened in the queens bench division
of the high court of justice today. Sir
Frank Lockwood, @. c., who was So
licitor- general in the late government,
led for the Times, and Sir Edward
Carson, @. c., led for the Central News.
The Times charges that the dispatches
regarding the Japanese war which
were supplied by the Central News
were. in some cases, entirely fabri-
Gated and in other cases largely altered
and expanded, and that by publishing
them the Times suffered in reputation.
Sir Frank Lockwood showed COM
parison with the original cable mes
sages that the Central News had
furnished to the Times and its other
clients. including the news agency in
the United States, over $4,000 words
Of padding. This matter was supplied
and paid for by the Times at the rate
of six shillings (S15O per line.
There was considerable amusement
coupled with Indignation in court when
counsel read the following original
cable dispatch: "Wei-Hai-Wei cap
tured." These two words were ex-
banded at great length and purported
to give the most graphic details of the
capture of that port by the Japanese
Other instances were given of similar

all arms, payment of all war expenses,
and the surrender of the leaders for tri-
al. The insurgents not only refused to
accept these terms, but demanded
President Zelaya to turn over to them
the government of Nicaragua. Conse-
quently the war will be continued with
renewed bitterness on both sides. There
is great excitement here. Steps
are being taken to reinforce the troops
at the front, and begin an advance on
Leon as soon as the much needed sup
plies of ammunition reach the govern
nrent forces. The government is said
to be hard pressed for funds as well
as ammunition, which facts are not
unknown to the Leonists, who are I'M
derstood to be receiving support from
Guatemala and other sources which
may result in complications likely to
cause a general war throughout Cen
trail America. 1t is suggested that
this is a good opportunity for inter
vention upon the part of the United
States, with a view of bringing about
a peaceful settlement of the question
in dispute as a conflict involving all
the Central American republics would
put a serious check upon the business
and development of the natural re-
sources of Central America.

,rEADowoRoFr CASE.
Important and Interesting Decision
in Illinois.

CHICAGO, March S0.-The supreme
court of Illinois at Ottawa has sus-
tanned the conviction of Frank r. and
Charles J. Meadowcroft, bankers, who
were found guilty December IA, 1894, of
receiving deposits when insolvent, pun
ishment being fixed at a fine of S2S
each and one years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary. This decision marks
contested cases that has ever passed
through the courts of Illinois.
The Meadowcroft brothers closed
their doors June 8, 1893. In the follow
ing April they were indicted under the
act for the protection of bank de-
positors, which makes it a criminal
offense to receive deposits when insolv-
emit The complaint on which the
bankers were brought to trial was
made by John j. Collins, who swore
that he had deposited 5000 with the
Meadowcrofts on the day they sus-
pended business. The defense of the
bankers was almost entirely technical
The lawyers contended that there was
no offense under the statute unless the
deposit was wholly lost to the deposit
or. They emphasized this contention
by making tender of $500, with inter
est, to Collins during the trial Collins
tano allowed the case to go to the
jury. The jury found the prisoners
guilty. and the case was taken to the
supreme court on claims of error in
the trial court and the demonstrations
atty of the statute. In the decision
handed down at Ottawa the court de-
clared the statute constitutional, as it
was clearly within the province of the
legislature to place it upon the books.
The court also held that the offense
was completed when the bank closed
its doors within the time prescribed in
the statute after receiving the deposit,
and such being clearly the meaning of
the law, final settlement of the banks
affairs would battle prosecution by
tortlfylng bankers behind the statute
of limitations.
No error was found in the record.
and the judgment of the lower court
was confirmed.

PLUNGER PARTRIDGE.
Buys Four Million Bushels of Wheat
and Then Announces His Retire.
mcnt.

CHICAGO, March Outward Par
bridge, the board of trade plunger,
bought 100000 bushels of wheat to-
day and says he will now retire from the
market, having no further interest in
it. 1t might be thought that after buy
ing four million bushels of the arti-
Gle he would have a very lively and
substantial interest in the wheat mar
ket, but as it was all what is called
short wheat-that is wheat which he
had previously sold-his purchases of
today will go to the filling of his sales
and leave him even. The market was
very much agitated and the price went
climbing from 63B per bushel up to
645s, while Mr.. Pardridge's brokers
were claImoring for his four million
bushels of short wheat. When they
stopped buying the price dropped to
63A Pardrige said he was very sick
and would now give up specializing.
He certainly was in appearance very
sick man, more fit for a bed and doc
tors care than for business.

IN THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The
house today took up the consideration
of the sundry civil appropriation bill
and disposed of fifteen of the 100
pages before adjournment. During the
general debate Mr.. Cannon, the present
head of the appropriations committee.
and his predecessor Mr.. Sayers, of
Texas, interchanged opinions as to
present and past appropriations. Dir.
Cannon in the course of his remarks
expressed the opinion that the appro-
priations for this session could not fall
below $500 200, 900. The action of the
committee in appointing for contract
work only until March, 1897. was at
tackled. but Mr.. Cannon justified it
on the ground that the same thing
had been done last year in the case
of the Notifications bill. But few
amendments were added to the bill
today. Eight amendments to in
crease the salaries of lighthouse super
intendents from $1,000 to $500 were
adopted.

IRON AND STEEL.
The Industry Now in the Absolute
Control of a Few Men.

me Industry Now in the Absolute
Control of Few Men.
CHICAGO, March O.-The iron and
steel industry, first in point of import
ance IN America, is now in the absolute
control of the few men who are banded
together by the strongest bands of coi,-
mon interest and who have at a oorser-
Hatlve estimate, not less than $3t0, tie, COO
at their disposal.
The details of the transaction by
which the simple commacclal ccnbina-
tlon was effected were mapped out in New
York last week and tie final move was
made in Pittsburg, Pa, and Birmingham,
Ala, today. The men II this immense
combination are in y position now to
say how much iron ere sI:all re converted
INTO ron and steel ana at what price
1t shall be sold.
The steel rail pool fixed a price of SOS
a ton on steel rails 1T Pittsburs. and all
other mills sold at the same price, with
the freight from Pittsourg added. This
meant that the Illinois Steel company
could ask $29 and the Colorado F'ue. and
Iron company $3S. rhe mill that Gould
name the lowest freight rate took all in
termediate sales.
The new pool makes a price of $40 a
ton on steel billets at Pittsburg, which
is 50 over its former prices.
All western sales agents have been no
tined of the advance and also have been
notified to guarantee no sales for later
than April delivery.
w. r. Stirling, first vice-president of
the Illinois Steel company, said he knew
nothing of the reported steel trust said
TO have been recently formed in Pitts
burg. He also denied the Illinois Steel
company was party to it, as reported.
