MR.CLEYELAND'SCOURTESY
Shows Unusual Kindness to the In
coming President

z Washington. Feb. 4.-President Cleve-
land has shown an unusual courtesy to
President-elect Mckinley. During the
past few weeks the retiring executive has
forwarded to the man who is to succeed
him every state paper and every official
document concerning the business of the
administration which might be of value
to the next The treaty with Great Brit
ain was in Major McKinley's hands long
before the newspapers got it. and q great
mass of stuff about Cuba which has new
er reached the public has been forwarded
to MI Mckinley with Mr.. Cleveland's
compliments
In fact, the two have been in CORES
pondence ever since election day. and it is
proper to say that they are better friends
now than any other two men ever have
been under similar circumstances. Mr.
Cleveland has had a good deal of expert
enee, both as retiring and as an incom-
ing president, and he has been in a po-
sition lately to give the major a great
many points, That he has not failed to
take advantage Of his opportunity is evil
denced by the fact that the president
elect is right now in possession of more,
state secrets than even Secretary Olney
Will transmit to his successor when the
day of the great change comes

PUBLIC TOILET BOOTHS.
Structures of Corrugated Iron With
Glass Roof for Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Commissioner Of
Public Works Joseph DOwney regards
toilet booths as a public necessity in the
business portions of the city, especially
down town.
Civil Engineer James G.. Pennycuick
who proposes to construct booths at
places in the streets and alleys of the
city, to be designated by the commits
sioner of public works, expects to de-
rive his chief revenue from advertise
ments to be posted inside and outside
the booths. He has not submitted de-
tailed plans, but suggests that they be
built of corrugated iron with a glass
roe
Commissioner Downey is inclined to

Sary connections with the city water

Mr.. Downey wants the booths to be
provided with double entrances, SO that
if one should be attacked within them
by a thief or holdup thug he would
have a chance to escape.

General Rivera Has Appeared
in the Province
And 1t Is Feared He Will At
tack the Capital.
WEYLER COMING BACK
Censorship of the News Bureau
Is Increased.
Many Prominent Women Bein g
Placed In Jail.

Cincinnati, Feb. 5.-A special to the
Commercial Tribune from Key West
says:
1t is rumored in Havana today that
General WeyIer will return to Havana
soon, as the frequent raids made in
Havana province have alarmed him. 1t
is no secret in Havana that the Spanish
officials are uneasy over the appear
ance of General Rivera in that prov
ince and the possibility of his striking
a blow at the capital itself has greatly
alarmed them all. Marquis Ahumada
has consequently been in close touch
with Weyler.
General Rivera had a skirmish with
a troop of Colonel De Lome's cavalry
fifty miles northwest of Havana Tues
day and defeated the Spaniards. No
details have been allowed to escape and
the censorship has been increased the
past fortnight.
Havana, Feb. 5.-The steamer Manu-
ella arrived last night from Puerto
Principe province, having on board as
prisoners arrested by order of the gov
ernor, Sonora Conception Agramonte,

Adam Rodriguez, an American citizen
and wife of an insurgent colonel, A.
Rodriguez, now in the province of Santa
Clara, the editor of Ell Public of Puerto
Principe, Eduardo ZeGuira, and eight
other prisoners. They were all escorted
TO the Jail.

AFTER FOSSIL TURTLES.
Party Sent by Field Columbian Muse.
UNI, Leaves for Inyo Country.

Pomona, Cal, Feb. 5.-Colonel T. w.
Brooks and party will start this week
for Inyo county on an expedition sent
by the Field Columbian museum of
Chicago to get fossil remains of turtles
for the Filed Columbian museum and
for Chicago university
Colonel Brooks found the fossil re-
mains several years ago, but never re-
Nealed his discovery to scientific peo-
pie until recently. He says that the
expedition will cost over $500 and that
he will send to Chicago soon the most
wonderful fossil turtles ever known
Two of them are each over fourteen
feet in circumference and each weighs
upward of two tons. There are other.
FOSSIL turtles that are eleven feet in
circumference.
Colonel Brooks declines to tell the ex-
act location of these fossil remains, but
ne says it is close to the Nevada state
line and that the locality is full of won
uerfuI fossil remains of fish

PALMA SAYS ITS TOO LATE.
Time Has Gone by for Compromise
With Spain.

New York, Feb. 5.-Senor Palma, the
head of the Cuban junta in this city
was asked if the insurgents would lay
down their arms on the PRONUNCIATION
of the plan of reforms. He declined to
answer categorically, but said: Had
forms been offered to the people of Gu
ba before they were up in arms they
would surely have accepted it and
therefore bloodshed and total devasta-
ticn of the island would have been
aVerted.
IF the Cuban people did not accept
the sham reforms then and arose in
arms for independence how would they
accept them now or enter into any kind
of compromise which has not for its
basis the absolute independence of the
island. They are sure of success and
one thing is certain, that is, Cubans
never again will place their necks IN
der the Spanish yoke.
''They have proved so far that they
are able to conquer the SpaniardS and
govern themselves"

JOHN A. LOGAN'S DESIRE.
Would Like to Represent America at
the HapSburgs Court

Youngstown, O., Feb 5.-The an
nouncement is made that John A Lo-
gan is a pronounced candidate for min
lister plenipotentiary and envoy extra
ordinary to Austria Hungary and that
his application as a candidate for the
place is now in the hands of president
elect Mckinley.
Mr.. Logan's repeated tours abroad
have given him wide knowledge OF the
manners and customs in vogue among
the people associated with the diplo-
matte service in the European capitals,
and he has made himself we'll aequaint-
ed by study and observation of the dip
lomats his friends claiming that he
would be suitable in every way for
the place to which he is said to aspire.
Since the election Mr. Logan has paid
several visits to Canton and upon the
occasion of each visit has had an audi
ence with President elect Mckinley 1t
was thought that Mr.. Logan went to
Canton to urge upon the president-elect
the selection of General A1ger as secre-
tary of war in his cabinet.

COL. CROFTON FORCED OUT.
The President Finally Gets Him Out
of the Army.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Col. Robert S.
Crofton. Fifteenth infantry arbi-
trarily relieved by order of the president.
1t has been the desire of the war de-
partment that this officer should leave
the active service and efforts have been
made during the past two years to at
tain this end, first through intimationS
to the friends of Col. Crofton that his
retirement would be granted if applied
for and this failing, through that law
which obliges an officer to retire if found
physically unfit for service by a me3i-
cal board. This last course was adopted
about nine months ago, but also without
success, the board finding that the Off
Ger was in good condition physically. Fin
ally recourse has been made to the law
which permits the president to retire an
officer arbitrarily when eShan have
reached 81 years of age Col Crofton has
the law has been applied to his case.
This is a most unusual proceeding. the
last instance of a forced retirement be-
ing in the case of Gen. Carr who was
forced out in order to permit of the pro-
motion of officers below him in rank.
Col. Crofton was in command of the Fiji
teeenth infantry while the organization
Chicago, and was with, or without just
ground, held responsible for many Incl
dents in the history OF the occupation
of that post that furnished matter for
the courts: Col Crofton had a good war
record He was born in Ireland. He was
made major and colonel for gallant SER
vice at Shiloh and Chickamauga- He be-
came colonel of the Fifteenth infantry in
October, 1896 and is now stationed at Fort
Bayard, N. M, whence that command
was removed when the last change in
stations of troops was made.

HE SPAT ON THE FLOOR.
Prisoner in Judge Richardson's Court
Fined for That Offsnse.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Frank Mason has
the honor of being the first man fined
for violating the new regulation prohib-
iting splitting on the floors in public
places or conYeyances, and today he
began to serve out a fine of IS imposed
upon him by Justice Richardson. Mason
was caught in the act of splitting on
the floor of Justice Richardson's court
while he was being tried on charge
of attempting to pick pockets. The
latter charge was dismissed at the re-
quest Of the police and the new charge
was preferred against Mason
Mason was arrested by Detectives
Cowdry and Ripley in front of Pea
cok's jewelry store on State street yes
terday afternoon while, it is said, he was
attempting to pick pockets. Today he
was taken before Justice Richardson,
and, while the officers were testifying,
Mason leaned over and expectorated on
the floor. His honor, the city prose-
cutor and everybody present saw the
act, but nothing was thought OF it until
Detective CoWdry requested that the
case of attempting to pick pockets be
dismissed. Mason was surprised and
Overjoyed, but the next minute almost
wept with anguish when he was placed
under arrest on the charge of violating
Commissioner Kerr's new order.
When asked to make a defense, Ma
son stated that he thought there was a
cuspidor on the floor, and then pleaded
that he did not know of the existence
of the regulation and considered his ar
rest an outrage. However, he admit
ted that he could read and was able to
see the signs posted about the court
room and was fined So and costs.

TAKEN TO THE POOR FARM.
Old Flagman at the Eighth Street
Crossing Can't Work Any More.

Tommy Corish will hold the flag no
more at the Santa Fe Eighth street
crossing where he has become land
mark 1t was his duty to warn people
of the approach of trains and no one
can say that Tommy" ever neglected
to do his duty.
But men grow old and Corish is no
exception. A few years ago he found
his joints growing stiff but it did not
incapacitate him from his duties and ne
sat in the little square building ana
kept close look out for trains, though
it took him a little longer to get out to
warn careless driver of the danger
No one knows how many lives Tom
my has saved during his term of ser
vice and he does not know himself. He
has never done anything to signalize
his achievements but no man was ever
run down" at the Eighth street cross
ing.
Last fall when the storms came that
precede the wintry months Tommy
found his joints sitter than ever. Aft
er he sat at his post 1t was more dlIn-
cult than ever to move and finally ne
was not able to report for duty and an
other f1agman was found.
The old man had no family and he
had little money, but he had friends
and he went to them. They humored
the childish whims of the aged hagman
for awhile, but as he grew more help
less he became more exacting and the
people decided that they could care for
the old man no longer.
Inc ponce were nOIlneQ ana tommy
Corish was taken to the police station
for the first time in his life, but it made
no difference to him for he found plenty
to eat and warm bed and he cared for
no more.
Poor Commissioner Hale was notified
and decided to take the old man to the
poor farm. He did not tell him where
he intended to take him, but he said it
was a place where he would find a
place to sleep and people to take care
of him.
Yesterday Mr.. Ha1e's driver stopped
at the police station and the old flag
man came out. Jailer Jones assisted
him into the buggy. He complained a
little because he had no overcoat but
he was wrapped in blanket.
Tommy turned his dim eyes on the
driver and asked Where are you going
to take rae?"
The driver did not answer and the
old man started on the last journey he
