GRANT TOMB FOR DAVIS.
Admirers of the Confederate Leader
Suggest a Monument to Him Like
the One at Clsremont

Richmond, Va. May 1s.-Some enthus-
iastic admirers of the late Jefferson Davis
have suggested that fund be raised to
erect a monument here in his honor ex-
actly like that to Grant recently unveiled
in New York. Mr.. P. H. Boisseau,
prominent citizen of Danville. Va, has
offered to head the list for such pur-
pose.
It is well-known that Mrs. Jefferson
Davis. who is now in New York, is not
very enthusiastic over the design adopted
for the monument of her husband, which
is to be erected here. This subject will
come up at the reunion of confederate
veterans at Nashville, Tenn, next month.
"They tell me- said Mr.. Boisseau to-
day, that the recently unveiled monu-
ment to General Grant is the handsomest
in the world. Now, what I would like to
see is a monument built here in the south
to Jefferson Davis that would equal If
not eclipse the Grant monument. This
money could be raised in the south"

PAID MONEY INTO THEBANK
And the Next Morning the Bank
Failed to Open.

Omaha, May 1S.-The Union Stock
Yards bank of South Omaha has paid
into the United States court at Omaha
81. 843 and interest, thus terminating
bitterly contested suit. August l. 1895,
Moore & Hutchins, cattle owners in
Idaho, had train of cattle on the
South Omaha market. They were con-
signed to the commission firm of Wag-
gOner- Birney company, which sold the
cattle.
In the afternoon the money from the
sale of the cattle. $11,773, was deposited
in the Union Stock Yards bank. The
Wagon -Birney company was indebt-
ed to the bank. The next morning the
WaggOner- Birney company made an
assignment in favor of the bank of all
assets, which included the $11,773, be-
longing to Moore & Hutchins. At the
time of the assignment Hutchins was
in the office of the Waggoner- Birney
company waiting for his money, and
was not aware of the transaction until
the money was tied up.
Suit was brought in the circuit court
for the district of Nebraska and result
ed in a decision for the plaintiffs, but
was carried to the court of appeals at
St. Louis.
The main point involved was the
right of the bank to attach money in
the hands of a commission firm which
resulted from a sale of stock consigned.
even though deposited in the name of
the firm. The courts held the bank had
no such right.

HIS MAIDEN SPEECH.
Senator Wellington of Maryland
Makes His First Speech.

Washington, May Ex-senator Wei
HngtOn, (Rep., Md, arose for his maid
en- speech when the Cuban resolution
was called up yesterday which proved
to be a vigorous protest against the
resolution and a plea for its reference
to the committee on foreign relations.
He said that while a declaration of
belligerency might not be serious, yet
the senate should pause and cOnsideN
the serious results that might follow
such a declaration. A new admln1Stra-
ton had just come into power, and back
of it stretched four years of depression
and disaster. Capital had been in hid
ing or had sacrificed it's principal as
we'll as its return. Back of us stretched
four years of idleness. The Republican
party had come into power on certain
propositions. First of these was the
question of an adequate tariff bill. He
believed the first duty of congress was
to the American people, rather than to
the Cubans and Greeks
THE policy pursued by the late adj
ministration and by Grover Cleveland
meets my approval" declared Mr.. Wei
lington, and as a Republican I am pre-
pared to say that Grover Cleveland did
his duty in refusing to rush headIong
into radical Cuba policy.
This resolution is a defiance of
Spain," he said. You may say Spain
is a weak power and that we can an
initiate her in 80 minutes ARE you ready
for war? Do the Ameican people want
are ready for war do not take steps
which Will involve war"
Mr.. Pettus of Alabama was on his
feet as Mr.. Wellington closed and in
QuiTed:
The senator speaks so emphaticalIy
of jingoes, let me ask him who are the
jingOeS and what are the jingoes ?'
There was laughter and loud hand
cIapping in the galleries on this query
evidently because the question was
made against the opposition of the res
olution. The senator needs no infor1na-
ton from me as to who are jingoes' -
responded Mr.. Wellington. 1T is the
spirit that would drag our country into
war with Spain; it is the spirit that
would draw US into controversy with
every country of Europe and make more
enemies than friends
Mr.. Stewart spoke briefly SAYING it
was strange to hear this Endorsement of
the last administration from a Repub-
lican senator. I do not endorse the last
administration" interrupted Mr.. We'll
hngton, except where Cuban affairs
are concerned"

SHE WAS NOT YVONNE
Only on thes Showbills - Otherwise
Just Plain Minnie.

San Francisco May 18.-The real
name of Yvonne Carleton, the actress
who was taken to the receiving hospit-
al Sunday on account of mental de-
rangement, is Minnie Fay Burns
Chandler. and she is the wife of Geo.
H. Chandler formerly of the Standard
Oil company at Omaha.
The girl was adopted when a child
by the family of NJ. J. Burns, mana
ger of the insurance company for Col
oradO. Wyoming, Montana and New
Mexico. Mrs. Burns is the sister of
CreSWell Muir, who, when he died, own
ed land near Pomona, Cal, valued at
several hundred thousand dollars. Mrs.
Chandler has long believed that Muir
was really her father
The woman arrived here from Denver
with her little son about a year ago,
coming, she states, at the instigation
of her husband, who failed to follow her
as he promised to do and who has sent
her no money. Ever since, her life has
been one of privation and i'll paid toll.

NO WORD YET
From Special Agent Calhoun
Sent to Cuba
By the President to Get the
Real Facts
UPON THE SITUATION.
Calhoun is Being Entertained
in Havana.
Details of the Debate in Con-
gress on Cuba.

Washington, May 1S.-No word has
come to the department of state from
Mr.. Calhoun, who went to Cuba as
special counsel for the United States in
the Ruiz case. 1t is known through
Gen. Lees dispatches that he arrived
safely. but from the special counsel him
self not a single word has been receiv-
ed at either the White House or the
state department.
This is no matter of surprise to the
officials, because it is hardly to be ex-
pected that Mr.. Calhoun or any other
person in the short period of time that
has elapsed since his arrival in Havana
could be in a position to report upon so
difficult a subject as the actual condi-
lions in Cuba.
The strongest possible denial is made
at the department that Mr.. Rockhin,
while assistant secretary of state under
the last administration addressed in
structions to United States consuls in
Cuba warning them to make their re-
ports less favorable to the Cuban cause
and more favorable to the Spaniards.
Mr.. Rockhill is still at the state de-
partment by request of the president
aiding his successor. He says that the
statement is unqualifiedly false.
Havana, May 1S.-SenOr DiaZ, mayor
1nglatesse yesterday to meet William
J. Calhoun, who has come here to rep
resent the American government in the
investigation into the circumstances at
tending the death of DR.. Ruiz. Yester-
day the Havana yacht club gave a
breakfast to Mr.. Calhoun at their club
house at MarianaO

QUESTION OF BEL11eERENCY
Shall the United States Recognize
Cuba as a BelligerentP

Washington, May 18.-Action by the
house on President McKinley's recon-
mendatiOns for relief of Americans in
Cuba, which was prevented yesterday
by the rules under which the house is
operating, doubtless will be taken at
the next meeting of the house. on
Thursday. The committee on rules will
present a rule fixing the time for de-
bate on the resolution.
Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader
who endeavOred to couple Senator Nor
gan's resolution for recognizing the
belligerency Of the insurgents with the
bill for the appropriation, proposes to
secure a vote by presenting minority
report from the committee on rules
which will make it in order to offer the
substance of the Morgan resolution as
an amendment.
Mr.. Hit says the Republicans are
willing to meet the belligerency guess
ton again. They do not intend, how
ever, to comphcate a simple resolution
for an appropriation with the question
of belhgerency, he says.
Mr.. Bailey said today that the Re
publicans did not want to meet the
question with a Repu bHcan president,
who would be put in the position of en-
forcing or disregarding the recon-
mendation of congress. He added,
when asked if a minority report would
be in order, that the Democrats would
be tempted to repeat the scenes of the
Fifty first congress if the speaker re
fused to allow consideration of such
report from the committee on rules.

ENGLANDBUYS OUR BUTTER
The Government Shipment Reaches
Southampton and is Sold

Washington, May 1.-THE agrtcultur-
al department is engaged in some prac-
teal experiments with a view to extend
ing our butter market ABROAD. me Oe-
VelOpment of the dairy interests OF the
United States is one of the faVorite
schemes of Secretary Wilson who be-
lieves that the farmers of the country
can be greatly benefited by the sale of
the incident products of the farm. Our
foreign cheese market has declined
steadily for the past 20 years and in re-
cent years has suffered immense dam
age from the shipment of"hlled cheese
and other inferior cheeses.
Twenty years ago the United States
shipped to the United Kingdom about
half their cheese imported by the Brit
ish isles. Canada has steadily displaced
our cheese until now we ship to Eng
land less than One-quarter of her i'm
ports while Canada sends One-half as
much. AS England now imports as
much cheese as she did in 1876 the loss
of our trade in this one item is enor-
nous. Now our filled cheese must be
branded we may gain some of this
trade but at the agricultural depart
ment Major AlvOrd. the chief of the
dairy division says it will require time
and circumstances to reesta bliSh the
reputation of our cheeses
In the matter of butter it is thought
there is a much better opportunity for
pushing our products at this time. Our
exports of butter have been compare
lively small in the past and the butter
shipped abroad has been almost entire
~ until last year, of inferior quality.
This was due the fact that the choicest
grades cOmman ded a higher price in
this country than could be obtained
for them abroad. But last year there
was a surplus of good butter produced
in the United States. The percentage
of high grade creamery buffers prOduc-
ed Promises also to increase annually
hereafter through the extension of the
creamery system. Last year the con-
sumption of the choicest grade fell off
in the United States owing probably to
the hard times, the price naturally fell
and about 20, 600 900 pounds were placed
within the reach of the exporters as
against SOC. 600 pounds in 1895. A large
proportion of this expectation was good
butter.
Major Alvord says that we cannot
hope to export good butter. when it
sells at more than 10 cents in New
York which would make the price in
London, allowing for freights and COM
missions about 20 cents Denmark
Sweden, France, Canada Australia and
Argentina now supply the British mar
ket which last year bought about 21S, 900
pounds
At the suggestion of Secretary Wilson
the agricultural department has enter
ed upon a series of experiments for the
sale in London of our best butter under
its own name. BY direction of the sec
rotary Major Alvord about two weeks
ago purchased and shipped about 1000
1t arrived lastThursday atSOuthampton.
Under arrangements previously perfect
ed this butter probably has already
found it's way to the consumer through
the ordinary channels of trade, but was
shown and sold as United States but
hands of the jobbers and retailers to the
consumer

HIS FACE ON HIS DESK.
And Fitzhugh Lee Made No Attack
on Weyler

Havana, May 18.-In view of the
statement published in New York that
Consul General Lee had made a report
to the state department in which he
had attacked Captain General Weyler
savagely and declared that insurgents
would be successful in driving the
Spaniards from the island, a reporter
of La Lucha has interviewed General
Lee. La Lucha says today, on the
express authority of Consul General
Lee, that no attack was made by him
on Captain General Weyler in any re-
port to the American government, nor
has he ever asserted in any report or
orally that the insurgents could expel
the Spanish troops from the island I'M
der the conditions now existing.
Consul General Lee is greatly an
noyed by the publication of this I'M
founded report and has written a letter
to the Marquis Ahumada denying it.
Upon General Lees desk is a portrait
of Captain General Weyler, with the
following inscription:
ITO General Lee, as a token of
friendship and with my best wishes.
''VARLEINA WEYLER."

AHVOTE WAS HEAP MAD.
Slain Like a Beast of Prey by Pursu-
ing Party

Kingman, I. T., May 1S.-The killing
of Ahvote was confirmed last night.
PiuteS Steve and Pete, cousins of the
murderer, waylaid and shot him 80
miles below FL Dorado canon on the
Nevada side of the river. While lying
mOrtaIly wounded, they asked him his
reason for killing the whites
Heap mad at Indians; wanted kill
somebody.
After talking with him some time,
they shot him in the head, killing him
couriers have gone to the white
camps to inform them of the red
fends death. The Indian nature is
displayed in the fact that Ahvote stop
ped over night with Judge Morton and
in the morning ate breakfast and then
killed the old man. Sheriff Frienden-
thai of Lincoln, New, arrived at the
Colorado river shortly after the killing
of AhvOte and Immediately took up the
trail of Mouse, the murderer of Davis
and Stearns of National City and San
Diego. Cal.
He took with him the two Piutes who
shot Ahvote. Sheriff Rosborough left
Vanderbilt last evening with a posse of
Indian trailers to apprehend Mouse
should he show up in his old haunts
around Pahrumph or Waupah. They
are sure to get him within a week.

YERKES' LENSES READY.
Big Dices Will Be on Their Way to
Chicago Tomorrow Evening.

Chicago, May 18.-The lenses for the
Yerkes telescope will be shipped from
the works of Alvin G. Clark, near Cam
bridge, Mass, tomorrow. The two len
ses have been packed in handsomely
finished cases and they will be placed
in a special Pullman car tomorrow
morning on the side track at the works
at Cottage Farms, near Cambridge.
Alvin G. Clark, the maker; Mr.. Lun-
deem, his foreman, and another work
man viii accompany the $4,000 pieces
of glass and will watch the cases every
moment during the journey lest some
harm befalI the lenses through JOlting.
Each of them is packed in silk and
cotton batting in handsome case and
each case is enclosed in a large box
properly braced so that jOlting will in
no way damage them, for a scratch as
small as pin point would render the
lenses useless, and to remove such
blemish would necessitate months of
labor.

Greeks Compelled to Retire a
Few Miles
After the Biggest Battle of the
War.
$4,000 MEN ENGAGED.
Losses on Both Sides We're Very
Heavy.
Turks Outnumbered Greeks
Two to One.

London, May 1S.-The Daily Chroni-
cle's correspondent at Athens sends the
following official account Of the fight
ing yesterday:
over $4,000 Turks simultaneously and
continuously attacked our whole line.
Our artillery and infantry did splendid
work. Twice all the regiments of the
enemy wavered and fed, though their
attack was soon renewed with fresh
forces, which in turn we were able to
hurl back
The stubborn resistance and splen-
did vigOr of our troops finally compelled
the enemy to give way altogether. All
the attacks on our left were similarly
repulsed.
ON our right we did not fare so well.
The first attack of the enemy was re
pulsed, but they massed an immense
force for the next attack. Our first
line WaVered and was broken and the
wing would have heen turned but for
the timely arrival OF the reserves.
still, the enemy had gained ground
which it was then impossible to regain,
