WAS DIVORCED BY FRAUD
Therefore the First Wife of
Selim Grant Rosekrans
Wants the Estate.
Will Battle With a Younger Sister
for the Money Left by the
Capitalist.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 4. Elizabeth
Rosekrans, first wife of the late Selim
Grant Rosekrans, the Board of Trade oper-
ator who died intestate at Orlando, Fla.
March 81, leaving an estate of $3.50 900,
brought suit in the Circuit Court to-day.
alleging that Rosekrans obtained decree
OF divorce from her in Milwaukee in 1888
by fraud and without giving her legal no
tice. The suit is directed against the sup
posed widow, Margaret Victoria, who is
the younger sister of the first wife. The
successful widow will get the whole
estate as there are no children by either
marriage.
The complainant states that she was
married to Rosekrans in Pembroke, Ont.
in 1872. and lived with him until she
learned of the Milwaukee divorce court
proceedings and his marriage to her sister
a few months later. She alleged that he
induced some one to enter an appearance
In court for her, the decree being obtained
on the ground of desertion. The news
broke her health, and being without means
and intimidated by threats of sending her
to an insane asylum and denouncing her
as Immoral, the complainant says, she re-
mained in Pembroke while he married her
sister, who had lived at their Milwaukee
home for year.
Almost at the time the bill was filed the
Rosekrans funeral services were being held
from the family residence.

striving for the trade of the Pacific Ocean.
'sThe Oceanic Steamship Company, which
is the only successful rival, the only
steamship company that flies the Ameri-
can flag south of the equator on the Pa
clfic Ocean, receives from our Government
the magnificent sum of$4615 40 per voyage
for carrying the mails of our Government
to those colonies, while New Zealand
alone gives $500 per voyage to this Amer
lean line of steamers-one-third more than
our own Government is paying for this
service. l say it is shame; it is
reflection upon American patriot
ism, when we sit idly by and
permit the British to come in and take
this trade away from US by subsidizing
their ships by mail subsidies, by CONNER
cial subsidies and by subsidies making
them naval auxiliary ships. No private
company can compete with such competi-
ton. England is reaching out with both
hands with an avaricious grip upon the
trade of New Zealand and Australia
The matter will receive further consider
alton on Monday, when Senator Perkins
expects to speak again.

NOT Il SPECIAL FUND.
Rtrer Improvements May Be Delayed by
Le0isLdttre Error.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 4.-During
meeting of the board of examiners in
the Governors Office this afternoon, called
for the purpose of passing upon routine
bills, Governor Budd, referring to the $780,
600 appropriation by the National Govern
ment for the purpose of river improve
ment, said:
This amount was appropriated upon
the condition that the State appropriate
the same amount. This was done, but
instead of being placed in special fund
1t was included in the tax levy and paid
into the general fund. Since then the
general fund has become exhausted, and
in my opinion it will be necessary for the
Legislature to make the appropriation
over again If the Government appropria-
ton is to become available"
Should such be the case it will prove q
great source of chagrin aud disappoint-
ment to the farmers along the Sacramento
River, who, since the publication of the
fact that the National appropriation has
been secured, have been jubilant over the
idea that, though the repairing of levees
and dredging operations, the bed of the
river would become so thoroughly secured
that danger from floods and overflowswould
be avoided. The Controller, however, fails
TO agree with the Governor in his, decla-
ration and claims that a warrant will be
drawn against the general fund on de-
mand for the $3.50, 900 State appropriation.
The Controller holds that the general
fund often becomes exhausted even when
there are outstanding warrants against it
and that the latter are cashed whenever
the general fund becomes replenished, and
he considers this State appropriation in
the same light as an outstanding warrant.

Picker (R.) of South Dakota said the
United States should assist the Cpbans

PACIFIC ROADS, DEBTS,
The Refunding Bill May Not
Receive Consideration
This Session.
Morgan and Mcguire Will Get Their
Heads Together and Draft
Substitute.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April At is
expected that the Pacific roads refunding
bill will be reported to the full committees
of both Senate and House on Monday. and
that within day or two the bill will be
reported to both houses.
There are various reports afoat as to the
disposition of the managers to consider the
bill atthis session. Representative Mcguire
heard to-day that one of Speaker Reed s
lieutenants had said the measure would
not receive consideration this session, but
Mcguire said he has not verified the cor
rectness OF the report.
Powers, chairman of the Pacific Roads
Committee of the House. evidently expects
that the hill will be considered. He said
to The CALL correspondent several days
ago that this was his understanding, and
to-day he expressed an opinion that Con-
gress would not adjourn until the end of
June, contrary to general expectation that
it would adjourn about the middle of May.
1t is the understanding that Morgan 8
resolution, providing that the whole ques-
ton of the Pacific roads debts shall be de-
termined by the District of Columbia
Court, will be taken up in the Senate on
Tuesday, if Senator Morgan is able 20 be at
the Capitol. He has been quite ILL., It is
understood that when he has sufficiently
recovered he and Mcguire will get their
heads together and draft a bill to be
offered as substitute for the refunding
measure. 1t is probable that the substitute
will be on the lines of Morgans reso-
luton, referring the matter to the courts.

FOR SIX DAYS
James Mahoney at Last Awak.
ened From Sleep by
Santanelli.
A Most Remarkable Exhibition Wit.
messed by Phys clans at Fort
Wayne, Indiana.

FORT WAYNE, IND, April 4.-James
Mahoney, the young man who was hyp-
Noticed by the hypnotist Santanelli last
Monday night, was awakened tonight
at 10 O'Clock by Santanelli. When he was
put to sleep on Monday night the hyp-
notist said he would remain in that condi-
tion until tonight without food or drink.
At that time Mahoney weighed 1311l
pounds; his pulse was 70 and respiration
II. During the entire week Mahoney has
been lying on bed in local theater
under the surveillance of committee of
medical students. They certify that he
has not been awake, and that he neither
ate nor drank.
Tonight large number of physicians
were present to witness the awakening.
Alto o'clock Santanelli ordered Mahoney
to rise from his bed and SIT in a chair.
Mahoney, still hypnotized. obeyed the
command. Then five physicians, all strong
men, held him. Santanelli clapped his
hands loudly three or four times, each
time calling on Mahoney to awaken.
Finally Mahoney came to his senses,
stretched his arms and legs and tore away
from the five men, raising DR.. Schrader
off the floor with his right arm. He was
then thoroughly conscious. The physicians
noted his condition as follows: Weight

Tactics of the Canadian Pacific
Cause It to Be a CONNER
cial Antagonist.
INTERSTATE LAWS VIOLATED.
Lives Off Its Subventions and Busi.
ness Taken From United States
Railroads.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April An the
recent discussion of the proposed subsidy
to the Oceanic Steamship line in the Post
Office bill Senator Elkins made speech in
regard to which he has since received
many letters and kilograms. 1t was in
advocacy of measure he introduced some
time ago, and now known as the Elkins
bill, to place discriminating duty of 10
per cent ad valorem On all goods imported
to this country in vessels not sailing under
the American flag.
This proposition was incorporated in the
Massachusetts Republican State platform
last week and Mr.. Elkins is urging its
adoption as plank of the st. Louis plat
form. In his speech Elkins paid his re-
spects to the Canadian Pacific Railroad as
follows:
This Canadian Pacific is the national
enemy of the transportation interests OF
the United States and stands to-day as our
greatest commercial antagonist. It vio-
lates our interstate commerce laws with
complacent indifference, it cuts rates and
it takes freights from our Pacific railroads,
in which the United States has a direct
interest. 1t hauls more cheaply from ST..
Louis and other interior points in our
country by way of Canada to Oregon and
San Francisco than the Pacific roads can
do, though the distance is much shorter.
1t is sharp competitor now for business
with all the Pacific roads from and to
California. For 1000 miles the Canadian
Pacific traverses non-productive country,
one not able to support a railroad. 1t
lives off its subventions and the business
it takes from the railroads OF the United
States.
"To oppose this active, open and op-
pressive hostility to American trade,
American steamships and American rail-
roads by England and Canada is the kind
of Monroe doctrine that favor, and I am
sure it will have better results to our
people and their interests than dispute
with England over an obscure boundary
in foreign country over 1000 miles away.
The United States in my opinion, should
at once withdraw this bonding privilege to
the Canadian Pacific"
MIR. Elkins' time was short and he gave
notice that at some future day he would
again discuss the bill to impose these dis
eliminating duties and give the Senate ad-
ditional facts and figures.

LINCOLN, NEB., April 4.-The verdict
of the Coroner's jury in the case OF County
Treasurer Maxey Cobb, rendered this even
ing after three days deliberation, occa-
stoned some surprise, in that it declares
he did not commit suicide, as was first
supposed and decided, but death resulted
from cold and exposure while he wandered
in the woods where his body was found.
This verdict is in accordance with the tes-
t;monv of physicians who performed an
autopsy and declared they found no traces

Reasons Why This Government Should
Grant Larger Subsidies.
WASHINGTON, DC, April 4.-Senator
Perkins is making a determined effort to
secure the adoption of his amendment to
the postofice appropriation bill granting
$S0, 1000 subsidy to the Oceanic Steamship
Company. He has enlisted the assistance
of Senator Elkins, who advocated the
amendment on Thursday. Perkins made
a strong speech in the Senate. in which he
said:
"Mr. President, the 100000 which it is
proposed by the committee to add in the
form of subsidy, as the Senator from
Wisconsin terms it, is for additional COM
pensation for carrying mails of this Gov
ernment to the ISLANDS of the Pacific, New
Zealand and Australia. This steamship
company has been in operation for some
eight or ten years. 1t has maintained a
successful line of steamers. The ships
were built in the United States by Ameri-
can mechanics; they are manned by
American seamen. and have been success
fully plying on the Pacific Ocean between
San Francisco and the islands of the
Pacific. New Zealand and Australia. They
are satisfied, because our Government
would do no more, with the meager sum
which they received in ocean portage,
which amounted to about $685. Der
annum.
"They were bringing to the United States
the trade of the Australian colonies. The
line became popularized by our own peo.
pie, as well as the people of New Zealand,
to such an extent that the colonies of New
Zealand have yearly aided them by mail
subsidies. This condition of affairs con-
tinued until the completion of the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad across the continent.
The well-known enterprise of our British
friends was first manifest by subsidizing
steamers between Vancouver and japan
and China. They gave subsidy which
was equivalent to the operations of their
steamer and interest upon their invest
ment. They continued the line. taking
away part of the business that was con-
trolled by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and Occidental and Oriental
line of steamships; but by the action OF
the transcentinental railroad in making q
through rate from China to New York and
Atlantic ports we have been enabled to
keep part of that business.
''Not satisfied with endeavoring to
monopolize the trade of the Orient, they
have now placed a line of steamers be-
tween Vancouver, Australia and New
Zealand. The Canadian line between Van
couver and Australia consists of two
steamships with monthly sailing. They
receive subsidy from the Canadian Gov
eminent of f25, 900 per annum, and from
the Australian colonies subsidy of 410,-
600 per annum, equivalent to $14,533 per
voyage.
"In addition to this the steamship line
is to participate in subsidy granted by
the Imperial Government to the Atlantic
connection of the great transcontinental
Canadian railroad. At the present time 1
cannot state what that subsidy will
amount to- but certainly not less than and
perhaps far in excess of $4,000 per an
mum, thus bringing up the entire pay
ment that line will receive in subsidy
from Vancouver to Australia $18.750 per
voyage.
"In addition to this they have their

Dockery 3D. of Missouri was the first
speaker. He was in hearty accord with
the resolutions. He said the strife in
Cuba rose above the level of mere guerrilla
warfare. If not why were the armies of
Spain unable to repress the uprising of

unanimous sentiment of his people when
he wished the Cubans godspeed in their
efforts to secure freedom.
Daniels (R.) of New York. objected
strongly to the second resolution, although
believing that the first resolution was
proper enough.
Baker (Pop. of Kansas asserted that the
Anglo-Saxon race would not stand where
the Cubans have stood. He recited wrongs
they have suffered at the hands of Spain,
and said he would be glad to vote for q
resolution recognizing their independ-

burst of loud applause from the galleries
