The latest New York notion has been
advanced by genius who proposes to
connect the upper stories of the various
sky-scrapers by means of cables along
which are TO run aerial cars, so that per-
sons living in the tall structures can pass
from their homes and offices to roof
gardens and high restaurants without
having 20 descend to hot streets at all
during the summer season. 1t is crank s
romance to-day. Tomorrow it may be a
business reality.

Gare,s Financial measure.

New York. June IA dispatch from
Washington says Secretary Gage is pre-
pairing a financial measure to be sub
n.tted to congress next winter. In pur-
suanee of this plan he has sent out a
letter to 200 leading bankers and mer-
chants inviting suggestions for placing
the currency upon sound basis
In outline the scheme will embrace the
gradual retirement of the greenbacks ana
the substitution of national bank notes
therefor, allowing national banks TO Is
sue to the full limit. instead of 30 per
cent as now, reducing the tax on ma
tional bank circulation from per cent 10
one-fourth of / per cent, and limiting the
denominations OF bank notes and al other
paper money to so and substituting silver
for all below $40. There will be probably
a provision for branch banks, and there
is a suggestion that state and municipal
bo-ds may be used as basis Tor not
to exceed 90 per cent of the note clrcu-
Secretary Gage has. in fact, already
commenced to carry out his scheme for
retiring greenbacks as far as possible IN
der the present law by locking up in the
treasury ereenbacks and treasury notes
These classes of notes have greatly IN

judicial Election in Chicago.

Chicago. June THE judicial cleo
ton today was carried by the Repub-
leans. who elected all their delegates
by pluralities of about 1000 in the
city and 1000 in the county, outside Of
the city Although the ticket was
called Republican, it included all of
the IA judges now on the bench of the
Circuit cOurt-eight Republicans and
six Democrats. In addition to the
judges of the circuit court, judges of
the superior court and one judge of
the supreme bench were voted for, but
Magruder. for the latter position. and
Bretano. for the former, were indorsed
by the Republicans and Democrats
The silver party had five candidates
in the field for the circuit bench, but
its candidates secured but about one
fifth as many votes as the Republic
ans The interest in the election was
small scarcely half of the regular vote
being polled. The amended Torrens

tested than any feature of the bill thus
far, by defeating the motion of Senator
Vest to place white pine on the free
list-yeas, 20; nays. SO. The contest
was mainly significant in breaking
party lines, which have been main
tanned with few exceptions during the
early stages of the debate. On the
final vote eight Democratic senators
voted against Mr.. Vests proposition.
namely, Messrs. Bacon and Clay of
Georgia, McEnery of Louisiana, Nc
Laurin and Tillman of South Carolina,
Martin of Virginia, Rawlins of Utah
and White of California.
On the other hand, Mr.. Carter Gre

Mantle CSilver Republicans) voted for
the Vest motion.
Following this a vote to substitute
the Wilson lumber schedule was de-
feated-17 to 37-and the schedule was
agreed to as reported. The debate pre-
ceding the vote was at times very
breezy, owing to the break of political
lines.
A general discussion of the future
programme on the bill occurred before
the senate adjourned. 1t led TO a
statement by Mr.. Allison, in charge of
the bill, that the committee probably
would submit amendments to the
sugar schedule. For this reason he
announced that the sugar schedule
would be passed over tomorrow and
that the tobacco schedule would be
taken m

and Governor J. p. Lee of South Da-

June was set for a meeting of the sill
Yer Republican forces in Chicago on Feb

ators and six representatives of that
faith sent out OF Washington 10 the
chairman of each state central commit
tee call for meeting at this time. The
object IS to reorganize the party and TO
extend it to every section or the United
States.
The committee consists of one member
from each state, with ex-Congressman
Towne as chairman.
Few senators or congressman are MEM
berS, but most of them of the faith will
be 2rexent to lend inspiration to the
cause Besides those mentioned above,
Senators Teller, Stewart and Mantle, and
congressman Shafroth Newlands and
Carter are expected today. The meeting
VIII be called to order tomorrow at l
o o'clock at the Leland hotel. and a cam
Daign of action will be instituted 1t is
expected that speakers and literature will
be sent out through the country and par
ticularly east, and a continual tight
made from now until the next preSiden-
tial election.
In an interview Congressman Hartman
said: We are here. not TO divide the sill
yer forces, but to unite them We realize
that silver is strongest among the Demo-
Gratis. and we expect to heartily affiliate
with them in anything that is for the ad-
vancement of the silver cause. However,
many Republicans are not willing TO can
themselves Democrats or ToDuists. and
SO we have 10 make a party for them
We are not for any individuals or party,
but for silver. Our meeting here will be
harmonious and much good 10 the cause
of silver will result from it.
Ex-senator Dubois said: The cause of
silver is growing stronger every day. The
money question is the greatest issue to-
day and we will keep up the hS<t for
silver regardless of the work being done
by the monetary commission now

LEES REPORT.

New York, June THE Journal this
morning publishes the full text of Cen

Secretary Sherman. 1t is dated Ha-
vana, May 81, and says. in part:
Il deduce from my knowledge of the
facts the following conclusions:
"First-Dr Ruiz was arrested on a
false charge.
"Second-He was placed under an
improper jurisdiction and died before
the proper tribunal considered his case,
thereby giving him no opportunity to
prove his innocence
"Third-He was kent incommunf-
cado' in a solitary cell for S51 hours in
violation OF his treaty rights, which
limit such confinement TO - hours
.Fourth-He died from congestion of
the brain. produced by a blow on the
top Of the head.
.F'ifth-Tnere are two theories con-
nected with the wound on the head
One that in a state of mental excite
ment he ran across the cell, described
by one of the jailors, and butted his
head on the door in a frantic effort to
get ou-- Another that he was struck
over the head with one Of the clubs
carried by the jailers-by the immediate

him to cease his cries for relief and for
his children, and upon his not doing so.

intended; or it is possible the blow was

a result.

ficious person, representing himself to
be the sheriff, communicated with the
governor and that the real facts were
not made known, the idea being to
convey a false impression to the gov
ernOr. The fact that Sheriff McLain
telegraphed for troops is not denied,
but the previous INSTRUMENTATION re-
garding the situation telephOned TO the
governor misled him in judging of the
necessities the occasion demanded
when the formal call for troops was
made. The governor Will investigate
the matter thoroughly.
The governor has received assurance
that it will be perfectly safe for the
officers of the Urbana company to re-
turn home and they will go to Urbana
in a couple of days. Prominent officials
and citizens of Urbana have advised
against civil action in Champaign
county and the talk of indicting the
officers of the Urbana militia it is now
believed will come to naught.

THREE FRIENDS FREE.
Judge Lock Hands Down a Decision
in the Case.

in the Case
Jacksonville, Fla, June In the
United States court Judge Lock today
handed down a decision in the case
of the steamer Three Friends, charged
with violating the neutrality laws by
carrying a filibustering expedition 10
Cuba, and also an armed vessel, dis
missing the libel for forfeiture. In Civ
ing the decision Judge Lock said:
Careful examination in this case
fails to find any testimony showing
that the vessel was fitted out and
armed within the limits Of the United
States. 1t does not show that she was
loaded with arms and ammunition
within 10 or 30 miles of the shore. The
further charge that the vessel took on
additional arms or ammunition on the
island of Navassa, which is American
soil. was not confirmed by the testi-
mony It shows that the vessel touched
there for short time. but it does not
show that it did anything that is in
violation of the neutrality laws of this
country
Three other cases are pending against
the vessel, but they are likely to be
dismissed, as the evidence is much the
same as in the present case. The dis
trict attorney will await advices from
Washington as to what future action
to take in the present case.
