FICTION ONCE MORE EcLfPSED.
Morahy and Legally Released President
8ottomiey Pays me Debts of His
nafuncf cnncekn

LONDON. ENG, May 1.-THE COM
mercial world has been started by re-
markable occurrence in which Horatio
Bottomley. for many years president OF
the Hansard Union, is a central figure.
The business of the union was the pub
lication of verbatim reports of the pro-
ceedings of Parliament, corresponding to
the Congressional Record of the United
States. Several years ago the union COM
bined with number of large printing
establishments; more stock and bonds
concern could stand, and as finale,
there was a crash. in which the stock
and bond owners lost hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
The Indignation cf the unfortunates
was focused in the main upon President
Bottomley, although the legal investiga-
ton that followed developed the fact that
he was more OF victim than wrecker.
In the few years that have elapsed since
the crash he has managed to accu ulate
large fortune in speculation, and hay-
ing traced out all of the stockholders OF
the old concern who We're ruined or tan
tamount thereto by the failure. he has
placed in the hands OF trustees So, $50, 600,
to be divided among the stockholders in
proportion to their losses.
The action is the m ore noteworthy from
the fact that there existed neither legal nor
moral obligation on Bottomley's part TO
meet any of the Liabilities OF the defunct
concern

what he believed to be the remains of q
human being. He picked out the bones
and dug for several feet around for the re-
mainder of the skeleton, but could find
nothing more. He Immediately sus-
pected that he had found the remains of
William Wootton, and FASTENED to Selma
to notify Constable Spencer there, who in
turn informed District Attorney Snow.
Peck drove out to Henry's place and
brought the bones TO this city,
Mr.. Henry also found among the coliec-
tion gold bar OF a watch chain, which
was considerably corroded. 1t has not
been ascerta1ned as yet whether Wootton
was carrying a watch on that ill-fated day
when he drove from his home with Pro-
lessor Sanders.
While Mr.. Pedlar is inclined to believe
that the bones are those of an animal,
there are some very peculiar circumstances
connected with the discovery which make
it highly interesting. because of the possi-
bility that it may explain in part the mys-
terry surrounding Wootton's disappear.
ance. In the first place. it seems strange
that il it was a portion of an animal
buried there the man who dug the grave
should have gone to the trouble Of cutting
away the roots when there was plenty OF
soil around much easier to penetrate. The
finding of the can and chain bar are
also very peculiar circumstances.
There have been some reports of late 10
the effect that Mcintosh. the handwriting
expert who testified in Sanders behalf and
who was sent to Jail by Judge Carroll Cook
for perjury at the recent trial, shipped a
large-sized trunk from Reedley few days
after Wootton's disappearance and took it
off the train at Poso. 1t is said that Nc
Into.h was extremely solicitous about the
handling of the trunk. District Attorney
Snow stated to a CALL correspondent to-
day that the story originated in the imagi.

WASHINGTON. D. O.. May i7.-Ths
resolution heretofore offered by Pettigrew
for the appointment of select committee
10 investigate the issue of patents for
lands to the Pacific railroads and the sink
ing fund of the companies, was taken up
in the Senate to-day and resisted by Gear,
chairman of the Pacific Railroads Com :
mittee, on the ground the committee
would be ''junketing'' one, and all the
information desired could be obtained
from the Secretaries of the Interior and
Treasury. He moved that the resolution
be referred to the Pacific Railroads Com
mittee.
Pertigrew opposed this, saying the reso-
luton would never come back to the Sem
ate. He charged that patents to millions
of acres of land in California have been
obtained by bribery and that there was
no pretense they had been earned. He
spoke of the com panies as s'highwaymen." 4"
Morgan, mem ber Of the Pacific Rail-
roads Committee, said he could see no
reason why an investigation could not be
made by that committee rather than by a
select committee. He moved that the
Pacific Railroads Com mittee be instructed
TO make the Investigation.
The motion was carried. The resolution
offered last week by Butler requesting the
President to inform the Senate under
what authority the proposed sale of the
Union Pacific Railroad had been agreed
to between the executive and the com bina-
tion of purchasers. was agreed to.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 17.-Many
reports of tariff dickering are rife, put it is
impossible to ascertain which of them are
based on truth. One of these reports says
that several Western Senators have been
informed by friends OF the sugar schedule,
as constructed by the Finance Com mi, tee
that their interests will hs made subject
to reprisals if they do not vote for the
schedule.
The California Senators are said to have
been offered the Hawaiian reciprocity
clause of the Dingley bill in exchange for
their support of the sugar schedule, and
so the Hawaiian reciprocity clause may
again become part OF the Senate bill.
From the fl eely expressed opinions OF
many Senators it appears that the action
of the Finance Ctmmittee in striking out
the reciprocity clause misrepresents the
prevailing sentiment in the Senate. The
most vigorous opposition to the treaty
which few weeks ago was expected to be
exerled by Alien and other opponents of
the sugar trust will not appear, probably,
now that it is learned that the trust de-
sires the abroSation of the treaty. This
fact makes the vote of three years ago,
which was to l against abrogation,
likely to be repeated if the matter comes
to vote.

FRESNO, CAL, May lis the small
collection of bones now in the possession
of District Attorney Snow the remains OF
an arm of William Wootton? They were
unearthed about q mile from the ranch OF
Professor w. A. Sanders. who. by his re-
cent conviction on the charge of having
forged the name of the missing rancher,
was practically adjudged guilty of having
murdered him, or at least to have had
something to do with the deed.
There are some very peculiar c'rcum-
stances connected with the finding OF
these bones, and it may be possible that
the discovery will solve that perplexing e
question which has always bafffed the
fficers in even forming a reasonable
theory; what disposition was made of the
murdered mans body? The authorities
have not concluded their Investigations
yet, and it may develop that the find
amounts to nothing. DIR. A. ]. Pedlar ex-
amined the collection at the instance OF
THE CALL correspondent to-day, and,
though he did not express q positive
opinion, he was inclined to the belief that
the bones were not those of mans arm.
With the bones was found a can, which
had evidently contained concentrated lye
or the like. The top of the can was off
and the lye had eaton through the tin.
The bones showed indications of where a
ssue-destroylng solution had been al
work on them, and as they had been par
TALLY destroyed it was difficult to deter
mine definitely if they were the remains
of an arm or not. 1t those OF an arm, the
limb had been broken about two inches
above the elbow. They were all discon-
nected. Two seemed to be the bones OF
the forearm and many little ones the
bones of the hand.
The sensational discovery was made at
a place about mile north of Sanders
ranch, which is five miles southeast oil
Reedley. When Wootton disappeared in
February, 1894, the ranch on which the
bones were unearthed was untenanted,
and no more favorable spot could have
been selected by Sanders whereon to make
the burial secretly. The man who found
the collection is O. A. Henry, and he
made the discovery accidentally. He was

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 17.-Chair-
man Davis OF the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations was in conference with
the President and Cabinet ut an early
special Cabinet meeting this morning,
and Re preventative Hit, former chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
in the House, read the message last even
ing during his audience with the Presi-
dent. Davis and Hit informed the
leaders of the Senate and House of the
nature OF the message, and meetings of
the Foreign Relations Committee and
Speaker Reeds lieutenants in the House
were helo before Congress met. so that
programme OF action after the eading of
the message had already been mapped

men. however. and by great majority Of
the crowds of spectators in the galleries
it was supposed the President would use
graphic language in describing the
wretched condition of American citizens
in Cuba, and that he would quote from
the confidential reports Of Consuls.
There is good authority for the state-
ment that when the President left Wash
ington Friday for Philadelphia he fully
intended to send to Congress to-day the
important points of the confidential re-
ports together with an appeal to Congress
for action on the Cuban question that
would have fired the hearts of Americans
everywhere. During the Presidents
absence, however, the question OF what
action should be taken was left for the
consideration of Secretaries Sherman and
Long and Judge Day. They were all
opposed to having the President go any
further into the Cuban matter at this
time than to make dispassionate recon-
mendation for assistance for helpless
Americans. The President hesitated
some time between his inclination to send
IN his message and the advice of his Off
cial counselors not to do so. Last even
ing he had practically abandoned the
idea OF sending any message at all. I'M
meGiately after breakfast this morning,
however, he sent word to the Cabinet
members to meet him at 10 o'clock. He
then sat down at his private desk and
wrote the message, which was submitted

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 17.-Presi-
dent Mckinley to-day sent the following
message to Congress-:
"Otficial information from our Consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that large
number of American citizens of the island
are in state of destitution, suffering for
want of food and medicines. This applies
particularly to rural districts of the CEN
tral and eastern parts. Agricultural
classes have been forced from their farms
without work or money. The local au-
thorities of the several towns, however
kindly disposed, are unable to relieve the
needs of their own people and are alto
gether powerless to help our citizens.
1.-The latest report of Consul General Lee
estimates that 600 or 800 Americans are
without means of support. Ihave assured
him that provision would be made to re-
lieve them. To that end I recon mend
that Congress make an appropriation of
not less than $4,000 to be Immediately
available for use under direction OF the
Secretary Of State. It is desirable that
part of the sum which may be appro-
priated by Congress should. in the dis
cretion of the Secretary of State, also be
used for the transportation of American
citizens who are desiring to return to the
United States and are without means to
do it."
The message received the prompt and
cheerful support of every member of the
Senate, which passed the resolution ap-
propriating the money requested.
similar resolution would have passed
the House but for the objection of Bailey,
the Democratic leader. He prevented
unanimous consent for the passage of a
resolu lion introduced by Representative
Hit similar to the Senate's. AS result,
the House was compelled to adjourn
without action. Now it will be necessary
for the Committee on Rules of the House
to bring in special order by which the
previous question can be ordered and the
Cuban resolution passed. This action
will probably be taken Thursday, the next
meeting day of the House.

WARNED BY THE POWERS
But the Sultan Fears His Subjects
More Than the European
Combine.

CONSTANTINOPLE. TURKEY. May
1.-THE powers have unanimously agreed
TO protest against the demand of the
Porte that Thessaly be ceded to Turkey,
and also against the demand for the
abolition of capitulations in favor OF
Greek subjects in Turkey.
Repre- sentatives of the powers have pre-
sented to the Porte a note answering the
Turkish reply to the original note of the
powers requesting the cessation OF hostili-
ties pending negotiations. No notice was
taken in this note of the Turkish de-
mands, the EN- bassadors merely repeat
ing the former request of a cessation of
hostilities.
LONDON, ENG, May IA dispatch to
the Chronicle from Athens says diploma
lists there have telegraphed their Govern
ments and 10 ConstantinopIe pressngly
requesting the immediate cessation of
hostilities. 1t adds the Greek Governm ent
declares that unless there is a cessation to-
morrow extreme and desperate steps will
be taken.
The Times Constantinople correspond
ent says representatives of the powers
there were quite unprepared for the note
OF the Porte in response to their request
for cessation Of hostilities 1t was not
expected the Sultan would capitu.ate so
precipitately to beliicose influences, but
Abdul Hamid regards his personal
safety and security of the throne as less
endangered by ignoring the will of
Europe than by resisting the wishes of an
overwhelmingly large body OF his Mo-
hammedan subjects on the question of
appealing to their fercest sensibiIities.
This danger was evidently brought home
to the Sultan Friday, for the German and
Russian ENJOYS, who most closely observe
the Sultan, were astounded by the peremp-
tory tone and preposterous tenor of the
note. The ENJOYS absolutely and unanl-
mously warned the Porte that serious
difficulties would arise from the attitude
he has taken.
1t is rumored in Vienna. Berlin and
