DECLINES TO RESIGN.
Solicitor of the Treasury Reeve 4
fuses the Attorney, Gener RAILS Reuue

Solicitor of the Treasury Reeve Re-
fuses the Attorney Generals Request
Attorney General Mckenna has called for
the resignation of Mr.. Felix A. Reeve, go
licitor of the treasury. Although this CT
flee is under the Department of Justice its
duties relate almost wholly to the business
OF the Treasury Department.. Consequently
the appointment Is usually made on the
recommendation of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. The Attorney General acted for
the President in this matter, at the ins lance
OF Secretary Gage. When Solicitor Reeve
asked the Attorney General why his resig-
nation was desired he referred him to Sec
retary cage. 1t is not known what Secre-
tary sGage told him, but at any rate the
reasons were not sufficient for Judge Reeve
and he declined to accede to.the request for
his resignation.
The matter has been reported to the
President, and it will be for him to act
Although democrat, Judge Reeve has at
times supported the republican ticket His
strength with the administrator, however
lies in his excellent war record. At the
outbreak of the war he raised regiment
In east Tennessee for the support of the
Union and rendered valiant service 1t was
on this account that President Harrison re-
fused to remove him. in spite Of the efforts
of Representative Houk and others
The great pressure for office Is said to be
mainly responsible for the Attorney Gen.
erals action although 1t is also stated that
Secretary Gage has not been altogether
satisfied with the legal services rendered by
Judge Reeve. 1t is reported that If Solici-
tor Reeve resigns or is removed he will be
succeeded by Mr.. OConneu, a prominent
republican lawyer of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
The Office is presidential, and pays $4,5OO
per annum.

MIR. SHERMAN NOT RESPONSIBLE
Wide Criticism of a Dispatch That
Has Been MisauOted.

Wide Criticism Of Dispatch That
Has Been Misquoted.
Secretary Sherman has been severely
criticised In various quarters because of his
alleged mistake in congratulating Queen
Victoria on the celebration Of her seventy
ninth birthday. when in fact she is but
seventy-eight years Of age. An attempt
has been made to magnify the alleged
error into diplomatic incident requiring ex-
planatory correspondence between the two
governments The fact Of the matter is
that the venerable Secretary Of State is
entirely innocent Of the charge. as will be
seen by perusal of the text Of hss cable
message to Ambassador Hay May A. and
published in The Star of thatRdate, rs fol-
lows; 4. IL
To Hay, Ambassador:
The President desires you to convey to
her majesty the sincere conapatulatfDns of
himself and the American peaple upon the
anniversary Of her majesty'sSbirthday.
Signature) SHERMAN
The Associated Press carried the message
IN exactly the same words. sThe superior
representative Of a syndicate OF papers, in
cluding the New York Sun, tfhought that
the Secretary had omitted an, imDortant
fact Cd in his dispatch. and he taDk the
liberty OF inserting the words "seventy-
ninth" before birthday" Ittfhus sppears
that the only mistake made fn the matter
was one for which Secretary Sherman is in
no wise responsible.

James Hamilton Injured by a Falling
Shed.
fHE OCCURRENCE ON MARKET SPACE
Structure Used at Boston Variety
Store During the Rebuilding.
DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR

The shed placed over the pavement in
front of the Boston Variety Store, on Mar
ket space, to protect passersby during the
reconstruction of that building fell shortly
after O'Clock this afternoon with a thun-
dering crash, injuring one man, while sew
eral other pedestrians narrowly escaped be-
Ing caught under the timber. The crash
was heard at a distance of many squares,
and in the excitement it was thought the
building had collapsed, and the fire depart
ment and the Emergency Hospital ambu-
lance were called and were quickly at the
scene Of the accident.
Warning Noise.
There was a warning noise of timber CIV
Ing way before the shed fell, which al
lowed pedestrians opportunity to escape.
The shed fell toward the street, clearing
half Of the pavement. 1t happened that
there were no carriages in front of the
premises. James Hamilton of s13 street
was struck by the falling timber. The top
of his head was cut, his right temple
bruised and one leg, it is said. broken. He
was taken to the Emergency Hospital.
Mrs Hand of 921 F street northeast was
passing at the time. and tainted, although
not struck by any of the timber She was
taken, into Saks' clothing store, and soon
recovered.
Too Much Weight.
The building was being repaired by Frank
H. Duehay, and the shed over the pave
ment was put up according to the building
regulations, and inspected by Assistant In
spector B. F. King. During the tearing
down of the building a large quantity of
Cid lumber was piled on the shed, under
the weight of which it gave way.
MI Emmons Smith, the owner of the
building, was on hand shortly after the
accident as was Commissioner Wight. the
latter making personal inspection of the
conditions under which the accident occur
red
HamiltOn's Injuries.
The mar Hamilton, who was caught
under the wall, was about fifty years of
age, and white. He was painfully bruised
all over the right side, and had a bad cut
that required several stitches over the
right eye. His right leg was also broken
just below the knee. His right side and leg
were badly scratched by failing timbers
and bricks
Hamilton says If he had been two steps
further away he would not have been
caught. and believed that a number of
others must have been caught with him,
because he noticed quite crowd around
him a second before.
A compa Ntor Of Hamilton's, Joe Wait
man. who was standing by his side when
the crash came, escaped without the
slightest injury.

A NATURALIZATION TREATY
One Signed by MI. 0lney With Spain and Its
Provisions.
Definite Action Expected by the Presi-
dent ON Cuba When Mr..
Calhoun Returns.

When Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee asked Mr..
Payne in the House Thursday how much
time was wanted by the republicans before
giving consideration to the Cuban ques-
ton, Mr.. Payne replied that they wanted
at least time ugn for the President to
get report from a special agent sent to
lcok into the Cuban affairs.
Some time before this when an effort was
made by Mr.. Bailey to secure consideration
for the Morgan belligerency resolution
Mr.. HIT clearly intimated that the Presi-
Gent, as soon as he had had time to hear
directly through his own agent. would pro-
ceed with a policy much more positive and
direct than the mere recognition of bel
ligerency. 1t was upon the plea that the
President would act vigorously In the mat
ter that action on the Morgan resolution
was prevented. Those who have been look
ed upon as speaking for the administra-
tion in Congress have all more or less
openly implied that the President could be
fective than would be the recognition of
the belligerency of the insurgents.
Waiting Mr.. CaIhoun's Return.
In view of this, the return of Mr., CAL
houn is generally expected to be followed
by some decisive action. Little doubt is
felt in Congress that Mr.. Calhoun's report
VIII fully substantiate the reports of our
consuls III Cuba and the general view of
the situation there as presented in the
press. The letters of Mr.. Pepper in The
Star, written during Mr.. Calhoun's visit,
and III the same atmosphere which sur
rounded the Presidents special commits
sloner, nave been read with great interest
by men in both houses of Congress-
Mr.. Pepper is we'll known to nearly all
the leading men in Congress, and all who
are acquainted with him know that he
is never sensational and is intensely eau
tious in what ne writes. They therefore
feel that Mr.. Calhoun's report viii proba-
bly, disclose substantially what Mr. Pep
per S letters have shown, and that this re-
port, in fulf1llment of the indirect promises
made, will be followed by vigorous execu-
tive action
A Naturalization Treaty.
In connection with the statement made a
day or two ago that the stumbling block in
former administration and the Spanish gov
ernment vas the refusal of this govern
ment to include a treaty relating to nat
uralIzation, 1t is stated positively that such
a treaty was actually negotiated and
signed by Mr.. Olney and Minister De
LONE, and is now in the hands of the State
Department, it being regarded as not de-
sirable to bring up the question in the Sem
ate at this time.
This treaty is said to be an exact dupli-
cate of the treaty on the same subject
with Mexico, and provides that subject
Of Spain. -!ho becomes naturalzed as an
American citizen, shall sacrifice the right
to protection by the United States if he re-
turns for permanent residence in the
Spanish dominion and remains there more
than two years after his naturalization.

CALHoUN's CONCLUSIONS
What the Special Commissioner Viii Report
as to Cuba.
In Doubt as to Recognition, hut In.
Indefinitely.

1t is expected that Special Commissioner
Calhoun, who was dispatched from this
country to Havana by President Mckinley
to investigate the Ruiz case and other fea-
lures Of the Cuban war, will reach New
York Monday morning, and will be in
Washington within twenty-four hours
from that time. 1t was learned today on
unexceptional authority that Mr.. Calhoun
Will make no general report on the result
Of his visit until after he reaches Wash
ington.
1t Is known, however, in official circles
here that Mr.. Calhoun will present certain
of his conclusions to the President imme-
diately after his arrival, possibly in the
form Of personal talks, perhaps followed
later by more formal written report. In
timations Of some of his conclusions have
already reached the State Department.
In Doubt as to Recognition.
1t Is known that he has not decided
whether the situation in Cuba entities the
insurgents to recognition as lbelligefents
or not. but he gives them credit for abil-
ity to keep up their fighting indefinitely.
He gives no encouragement to Senior de
Lomes stories OF pacifcatfon. He will re-
port that he found everybody expecting
that Mr. Calhoun's relations with Cagos-
to In the Ruiz inquiry were amicable. Mr..
Calhoun enoeavored to procure a report
IN the case upon which both governments
could agree, but this was found to be i'm
possible The relations between Mr.. Cal
ncun and Consul General Lee were per-
fectly frank and cordial throuRhout the
formers visit.
Will Not Advise Guarantee.
Mr Calhoun will also report that strong
pressure was brought to bcdr upon him by
autonomlsts to report III favor of the
ohi'ed States guaranteeing a como rule
Pohcy, but he reached the conclustou thai
ne could see nothing in this proposition
1or the United States at this stage, Mr..
calhoun may indicate that he would have
Favored such proposal n an earlier
period, but that the opportunity has now
gone Ivy -
Mr.. Calhoun will bring back considerable
data bearing on the atrocities thas have
been committed and on the manner in
which the war has been conducted an both
s'des. He has not changed the opinion
formed by him at Matanzas that there is
great suffering among the reconcentrados,
ana II may be that he will speak emphat-
ically to the President in condemnation of
Gen. Weyler's policy Of he-dh,g In camps
the Cuban people whom he is pleased to
term 'pacificos." ,.
These few statements, The Htar Is cred
itably informed, form an otiaine Of Mr..
Calhoun's final report to President MtKin-
ley, and it is improbable that there Will
be any material variation from them.
