Cleveland's UnIucky Day.

prominent lawyer from New York, TO
a Chicago Chronicle reporter. 1t was
during Mr. Clevelands second term,
and he was at Gray Gables for few
days outing. I ran down from New
York to see him about some business
matters relating to a case he had at
one time in New York. He was out
fishing when 1 arrived, and when he
came back in the evening ne invited
me TO go out next day with him.

his gun, and in some way, while we
were getting out of the boat, the gun

we were given a good wetting. To

president lodged a small bone IN his

The speaker contended that Rhodes had

PEACE CONFERENCE
Ambassadors Present the Prelinl;na-
ries Drafted Bv the Powers.

Constantinople, July 26.-At the sit
ting of the peace conference today, the
ambassadors presented the peace pre-
limtnaries drafted by the powers, which
provide for European arbitration of
any differences that may arise between
the Greek and Turkish plenipotentiary
in arranging a definite treaty.
IL is stated that the pow ers will in
sist upon the acceptance by the porte
of this provision, and its reception,
therefore, by the sultan will be highly
significant. The desire of Germany to
institute a European control of Greek
finances still hampers the settlement
of theS indemnity question. 1t is un-
derstood that the Volo-Larissa railway
will be transferred to the Greek ad-
ministration with the stipulation that
the same facilities shall be granted to
Turkey for the transportation Of troops
as are granted to the Greek govern
ment. This, therefore, does not indi-
cate any intention on the part of Tur-
key TO eTacuate Thessaly, but is merely
a measure of economy

big company which has been organized
and which has purchased. with one or
two exceptions. all the glucose manufac-

be gained from the fact that the new

ertion, the whole glucose output of the
United States. which amounts annually

Who They Are.

Although the reported engagement
was denied that Miss May Goelet, the
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ogden
Goelet, of New York, was engaged to
marry William Angus Drogo Montagu,
ninth Duke of Manchester considerable
interest has been manifested. Society
in New York has seen little of Miss
Goelet, who has not yet made her for
NAL entrance into social circles OF the
metropolis, though she was q brides
maid at the wedding of Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt to the Duke of Marlborough
in st. Thomas church in November,
1895. She is a beautiful young woman
about 10 years old, having passed most
of her life abroad, and is said to be
unusually talented. She was presented
a one of the May drawing rooms. The
Duke of Manchester. who was born on
March 8, 1877, succeeded his father in
1892. For some time past rumor has
had him engaged to Miss Astor, daugh-
ter of William Waldorf Aston. His
mother was formerly Consuelo Yznaga

Antonio Yznage de Vale, of Ravens
wood, La, who died in this city five or
six years ago. She is a sister of Fer

FIGARO PRINTS AN "INsPIREDv
ARTICLE.
Marquis Ito Busy Dealing With the
Delicate Situation Created in ia
pan by the "Pretensions of the
United States.r

New York, July IA special to the
Herald from Paris says: The Figaro
publishes an article bearing on the re.
lations between the United States and
Japan. It's Importance is heightened
by the manifest indications it bears OF
being inspired for only those in the
inner circles of japanese affairs could
possibly have given the Figaro any
idea of the object which has caused
the Marquis Ito to come to Paris at
this particular juncture. The article
which is headed The Voyage of Mar
quis Ito" is as follows:
Marquis Ito has been in Paris since
Sunday, and is stopping at the Hotel
Continental, where his apartments
have been reserved by the Paris le-
cation.
This astute diplomafist is now busy
dealing with the delicate situation ere
ated in Japan by the Dretentions of
the United States in the matter OF the
annexation of the Sandwich islands. 1t
appears he has come to Europe to pro-
test most theoretically in the name of
his government against what he calls
a usurpation beset with dangers,
and he declares to his friends that Jap
an, which has had to struggle against
great difficulties at the time of the war
with China will go on to the end with
the United States.
I'VE must not, therefore, be surprised
if one of these days we have to an
nounce a rupture of the relations be-
tween these two countries in the case
the annexation projects are maintained.
This would not, probably, mean a dec
laration oe war, but it would be the
beginning of hostilities, more or less
open, the result of which would be
harmful, and which might have in
store surprises of all kinds, for $4,000
Japanese, almost all veteran soldiers
are already living in the Hawaiian Is
lands, and the natives of the country
hardly number as many.
THE objects of the Marquis Itos
journey is to point out to Europe
rather too neglectful, according to him
the peril of annexation, to which the
vigorous Japanese people, still under
the spell of its victories, is opposed to
the utmost.
In any case this journey and the
complications foreseen by the Marquis
Ito strangely confirm the fears already
expressed in America by thoughtful
men,

New York. July 26.-The World saws
Secretary Of State John Sherman, who
is enjoying vacation at Amagansett,
n. J.. consented to a brief interview.
The secretary was asked if he had
heard that President Mckinley had
signed the tariff bill.
Yes, 1 read it in the papers, he
said. 'Of course, 1 was looking for it,
And viii we now have prosperity ?7
I'VE have not yet rid ourselves of the
ill-effects of the Wilson tariff bill. 1
think that business is picking up and
will continue TO improve. We must
rot expect too much too quickly; it
may take little time before trade will
fully feel the stimulating effect of the
new protective tariff. but it will not be
long"
There has been much complaint at
the failure TO fulfill the campaign prom
lses OF prosperity it was suggested.
Yes" answered Mr.. Sherman but
you will always find a lot of maIcon-
tents who act without reason. They
accuse the administration of not keep
ing its promises without waiting to
give the administration a chance to do
so. How could President Mckinley do
more than he did before he got the ma
chinery in order?"
In the foreign press, particularly in
the German newspapers" it was sug-
gested. the new tariff schedules are
being very bitterly commented upon,
and there are threats of retaliatory
measures"
Well" said Mr.. Sherman. that is
nothing: that is only 10 be expected. As
we have put into effect tariff which
imposes a duty on foreign made goods,
it is quite naturally Objectionable 10
foreigners, and that their newspapers
should think of retaliation is not at all
surprising. 1t has always followed the

New York. July 27.-The Times says:
Klondyke matters are about to be in
vestigated by the mining exchange of
this city, and steps taken to have the
most reliable information in the event
of the listing of Alaskan gold stocks.
Little else is talked OF ct the ex-
change than this new feature of min

would seem as if the dangers of the
new valley of gold are thoroughly APP
preciated by members of the exchange.
Comparisons now TO the disadvantage
to the mines of Bolivia, Peru and Co
lombia were heard, and there were

less expense and perhaps more salts

Especial to The Herald0

Ogden, July Ex-senator F. ]. Cannon
arrived here at o'clock this morning
over the Union Pacific, and was met at
the depot by a Herald reporter, 20 whom
he talked freely Oh various subjects OF
interest.
AS to the prospect for international ol-
metallism or legislation affecting silver,
the senator said he did not look for the
free coinage of silver to come through
the Republican party. as it is at present
ORGANIZED: the financial powers of the
east would not let that party restore
silver if it wished to. Strong and con-
scieutdous as President Mckinley was, he
could not overcome the opposition to the
white metal if he wished to-
Regarding an international agreement
Senator Cannon said;
We can get certain amount of inter-
national agreement any time we want II,
that IS, England will open the minfs OF
India provided the United States will open
its minis to free coinage. We VIII prop
ably get an internal onal conference, OUT
there is a sharp distinction between
conference and an international agree

ment, accomplish nothing more than the
opening of the India minis to silver, II IL
accomplishes that much
HIS TARIFF VOTE.
Asked regarding his vote on the tariff
bill, ne said he had nothing further 10
ment.
Il believe" said he, that time will
justify my action as surely and com
pletely as human action can be justified.
The tariff bill was radically wrong in its
application and was prepared under d.
rection of the very worst influences.
Electric POWER CONSOLIDATION.
Regarding the proposed consolidation of
the electrical interests in Utah, he said
he would like more time before making
anything public, and preferred not to
say whether any action had been taken
on tho matter. Whatever he had to
state he would prefer saying to the di-
rectors and il would be for them to de-
eide whether it should be given to the
press.
TRIP TO JAPAN.
Regarding the trip TO Japan. he said
he would leave in time TO take the steam
er sailing Aug. 2. Four gentlemen will
accompany him-Pettigrew and Dubois
and two others. 1t was hoped that Sen
ator Mantle would be one of them, but it
was now feared ne could not go. The
party will remain in the Orient long
enough to make financial and economic
Investigations.
The senator was accompanied home by
Mrs. Cannon and their two daughters
and his private secretary, @. c. Graves,
and Ben Z. Rich.

DIR. Miguel,s chan rs.

Berlin. July 26.-The newspapers are
widely discussing DR.. MigueTs chances
of success of recovering a majority for
the government by reuniting the par
ties. 1t is admitted that he has a great
chance to distinguish himself, but the
general belief is that ne is not a strong
enough statesman to accomplish his
aim. the Agrarian action shows that
the Agrarian league has no intention
of yielding an inch, and in the pres
ent aspect of affairs the bitterness be-
tween the Conservatives and the Ma
tional Liberals is rather increasing

Tattooing the Ewes.

San Francisco Call: The latest discov-
cry OF scientific men is that the human
eye may be tattooed any color. 1t is now
quite within the bounds of possibility for
doctors to tattoo a mans eye bright scar
let or green. OF course eyes are only tat
tooed in cases where one of them is blind
and has assumed, in consequence, a Pc
culiar dead and ghastly appearance. An
eye in this condition win entirely dis
figure a face, but a modern ocul.sJ may
color one of these dead eyes and re-
store it 10 its natural appearance. so that
nothing but the closest scrutiny can de-
tect the difference between il and its fell
low.
The operation of rattooing is performed
by first treating the eye with cocaine until
il becomes absolutely senseless to pain.
When all IS ready. the part TO be operated
upon is covered tlnickly with India ink of
the required color. The tattooing is then
performed by means of a little electrical
machine, which operates specially made
needle.
