1t Transfers With the Cars of the
Metropolitan Company.

There is line of berdicS in full oper-
alton today, but it is not controlled by
the Washington Coach and Transportation
Company, which has so extensively adver-
tised its opening.
Mr. Richard T Meany, the superintend-
ent OF the Iast-named company, thinks
he has been the victim or some sharp prac-
tice, but he doesn't know by whom The
blow was truck.
He says be bought the stock OF the Old
Herdic Thaeton Company. as he supposed
from the heirs Of thema iUrity stockholders,
but after going into extensive plans for
the opening Of the line, as described in
yesterdays Times, he found that ne had
purchased the stock from second parties
who at that time were preparing to run
line OF hertlics over the same route selected
by his company.
Mr.. Meany says he does not know the ma
tme Of the parties or corporations having
''stolcn his thunder" In the meantime
he has large stock Of EeTdics and horses
on hand which are idle.
The heTGics running today start at Six
tecnth street. proceed to Vermont avenue
and H street, where they transfer with the
ears Of the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany. From thence the line proceeds along
F street to the Pension Office. 1t is ru-
mored that Mr.. A. Burcdorff, the well
known livery stable man, is either at
the head of the new herdic line or else
is a majority stockhoIder.

MEMORY PLAYS HIM FALSE
Student Dibble Knows All Faces
Save Those Of Home Friends.
Otherwise His Mind Is Clear and He
Stands Well In His Glasses
at College.

Buffalo, n. Y, May Gases of loss of
memory are common enough, but the case of
CondiJ Di.,ble, of Perry, Wyoming county,
is remarkable in many ways. Mr. Dibble
is about twenty-five years old, the son of
the Presbyterian minister at Perry, fifty
miles from Buffalo, He is student at
Williams College, and was regarded as the
coming haIfback Of the football eleven.
Last fall he sprained his ankle While in
practice and was unable to play in any
OF the williams games. While walking
ON the college grounds his cane brOhe, and
in trying to keep his weight off his injured
foot he fell and struck his head He
suffered Congestion OF the brain. He was
unconst ious for about a week, and was
taken home for treatment.
He is now in full physical health, has
good appetite and is bright in conversation
and in his studies. But ne has forgotten
every one he knew in Perry. Outside the
village he is his normal self He rerneITs-
bers all his friends In Warsaw, CASTLE and
adjoining towns, but has no recollection Of
having met any Of his old chUms In Perry.
This discovery was not made until he
was able To be out Then when he walked
the streets of Perry for the first time he
was puzzled at the number of strangers
who grasped his hand and asked about
his health. This confused him greatly, and
1T was a shock when he was told that some
OF the persons whom he took to be straa-
gers had been his companions from CHILD
hood.
Every one in Perry knew the minister's
son Intimately, but he is making their aC-
quaintaHee over again. His faculties are
impaired in no respect except as to tie
people OF Perry, and they were one andal
bIotted out of his life Dibhle is now being
treated at Buffalo by well-knOwn alien
ist Meanwhile Mfr Dibble is making rev
acquain tances in Perry every day. He viii

Strong efforts are being made TO have
President Mckinley grant a pardon to
Elverton r. Chapman, the contunIacious
scar witness, who is sentenced 10 be con-
fined FOR thirty days in the District jail
for refusing TO answer questions before
the Senate investigating committee rela-
tive TO the alleged operations of United
States Senators in sugar stocks.
The Supreme Court recently refused tO
grant Chapman d habeas corpus or writ
OF certorari, and unless the President in
terferes he VIII have 10 go TO jail His
attorneys, however, have not given up
hope, and think that they viii yet be sue
cessful in keeping their client out OF prison.
Hon Jere Wilson, one OF the brokers'
attorneys, saw the President yesterday,
and again today, in behalf of his client
1t is no; thought. however. that Mr.. Nc
Kinley viii interfere in the case, and viii
make known his conclusion in few days
In this event Chapman viii immediately
come on TO Washington and deliver him
self up to the United States Marshal Of the
DiStricc.
An the financial and commercial mag
udNHS Oh w stA SbTEeb VIII Edn DC Ntdtiltu
through the various business Affiliations Of
these two men have besn requested 10
use what influence they have with the Ad-
InimstratiUn to secure a pardon for Mr..
Chapman.
II tl.ey succeed the pending cases against
Messrs Havemeyer and SearleS will be
no-prossed. If they fail, nothing can pre-
vent these two gentlemen FROM eventu-
ally serving a term of from one month to
twelve months in the Jail OF this District.
Their activity in Chapman's behalf is
therefore understood.
The particular ground upon which Mr.
Chapman's application for pardon is 10
be asked is tlat his case was a test OF
the law authorizing the Senate or House
20 compel 2 witness 10 answer questions
The law was passed ia 1857, but no de-
cision had teen rendered on it until that
by the supreme Court two weeks ago.
II is urged that, as there have been
grave doubts as 20 the validity and con-
stitutionaluy OF the law, the first case
TO be decided under it is a proper one
for the exercise of Executive Clcmeucy.
The application will also point out that
there is no Chare of moral turpitude
against Mr. Chapman, and that the ends
of Justice will be served in permitting
him to 80 free, while the fact Of his
conviction viii stand as a warning 10
future witnesses.

THE SALE OF CUBAN GIRLS.
Havana Newspaper Demands That
WeyfeF Stop 1t Forthwith.

Havana, via Jacksonville, May LA
Lucha has taken up the subject of the sale
OF Cuban girls at auction in interior towns
and has had very strong editorials on the
subject, calling the attention Of Gen
WeyleT to the bad impression that Is being
created abroad and stating plainly tnat
it should be stopped immediately.
Two issues were suppressed by the au-
thorites containing statements Of this
kind which were offensive to Weyler, but
La Lucha kept on, and it is supposed that
paper is sustained by some strong palace
influence behind it that is antagonistic
to Gen Weyler, as il is well known that
La Lucha would not publish these arti-
cIes unless it had an Interior object in
doing It
It Is reported that another severe con-
flict has occurred in the central part of Ha-
vana province, either on Tuesday or
Wednesday, but no details have reached

fifty wounded Spanish soldiers arrived
