appointment of Henry J. Gjertsen to the re-

W0LC0TT WILL FAIL.
His Visit to Europe Is a Hopeless
Undertaking..

LONDON, Jan. THE Bimetallic
league has cabled to one of it's mem
bers, Mr.. Forbes, who is now in Boston,
requesting him to send a wreath and to
attend the funeral of Gen. Francis A.
Walker. An editorial in the Times on
the death Of Gen. Walker says: His
death will be regretted in Great
Britain almost as much as in America
He was one of the fairest and most
reasonable of the advocates of bimetall-
ISM" After eulogizing the deceased
economists attainments and writings
at considerable length, the Times con-
tinues: with all respect, it is improb-
able that, had he lived, he could have
done much to further the avowed OBJ
ject of Senator Wolcott's visit. Senator
Wolcott will be welcomed here. For
several reasons, Mr. Mckinley could
not have chosen g. more acceptable
envoy. But public opinion in England
is more hostile than before to bimetall-
ism. Nothing can be hoped from the
visit except as a political movement
and a salve to the sllverites. The fail
ure Of his mission is certain. No public
man, whatever his theoretical views,
would think the present an opportune
moment to moot the question, and this
opinion will subsist, at all events, as
long as bimetallism appears to be drop
ped or revived according to the
exigencies Of American domestic poll
tics"

TOOK UP JAIL CASES.
Grand Jury Anxious to Get Prisoners
in Safekeeping.

Jail cases received the attention Of the
grand jury yesterday, although large num-
Der of witnesses were present in the municipal
examination. During the afternoon the Jury
made report and returned bunch of in
dictments.
Before reporting, the jury visited the jail
for the purpose of satisfying it's curiosity re-
garding the escape Ct the prisoners. The
jury could not believe that a man could
crawl through the holes made by the jail
birds who had flown until the jailers gave
a practical demonstration.
During the afternoon examination Gen.
Beemer, of the Pennsylvania Coal and Oil
company, called before the jury 1t was
supposed that Mr.. Beemer knew something
about the aldermen because his company
once wanted to place a spur track in the
Eighth ward, request which was not grant
ed by the council Several of the men who
had been in waiting were also examined,
few CT them being connected with sprinkling
of streets.
Before adjournng for the day Sheriff Phil
lips was called to the room, where he re-
manned for some time. The Jury wants to find
out, all about the jail breaking and If there is
any evidence duplicating any outsiders, to
nave them punished. Further investigations
will be made along this same line
Mayor Pratt has sent a communication to
the grand jury, in which he states that he
will gladly do all ii mis- power to aid in the
municipal investigation. The mayor states
that he was impelled to make the offer in re-
turn for past favorS shown him by the iury
Inc proposition, it is understood was ac-
cepted with thanks, and as a result he NAV
be called upon to tell what he knows.

BAY STATE GOVERNON.
He Pays His Respects to the Trust
Companies.


BOSTON, Jan. Tn 1.-The course Of
his inaugural address Gov. Wolcott dis
cussed the subject of restrictive legls-
Iation relative to trust companies. He
said: ttI.r
These companies transact a general bank
ing business and in addition thereto receive
and manage trust funds on DEGREES OF courts
as such trustees they are not required to
furnish sureties on their official bond. The
number of these companies is rapidly 1ncreas-
ing and special charters for their 1ncorpor-
alton have been granted by recent legislatures
with considerable freedom. Owing to the I'M
portance and peculiar nature of the functions
which they perform, it Is probable that equal
accommodations to the public and greater
degree of security are to be gained by the,
operation of a moderate number OF strong
companies in the centers of population, rather
than of a multiplicity of companies scatter
ed throughout the smaller communities. i
would suggest extreme caution IN granting
charters to the end that the public may be
properly guarded from speculative ana 1nse-
cure financial methods.
The frequency with which those entrusted
with the funds Of others prove faithless to
their trust, and widespread loss and distress
consequent upon their acts may well Sug
gest the inquiry whether 1t Is possible through
legislation to interpose additional safeguards
for the protection both Of the individual and
Of the community. In many cases the Grim
inal act Is directly traced to speculation in
stocks, and at the outset there is often an
entire absence of criminal intent. l ask you
to consider:
First, whether, in the case Of state and
municipal officers who have the custody of
public funds, stock gambling-that Is the
buying or selling of stock on margin-should
not be forbidden by law, under proper pen
atty or be made by statute cause for re-
moVal from office.
Secondly whether this principle may profit
ably be extended to treasurers of quasi-pubiic
corporations and to trustees under private
instruments.

GOMEZ HAS WEAKENED.
According to Spain He Is Ready to
Surrender.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: Posi-
tive statements were made tonight
from Spanish legation sources that
Gomez, the Cuban commander-in-chief
has actually submitted a. proposition
for peace to Senior Sagasta in Madrid
and that the facts have already been
communicated to the junta here All
that stands in the way, it is said, is
the proposed recall Of Capt. Gen. Wey-
Ter, which the insurgents insist shall
be preliminary to all negotiations.
These statements come to the Tribune
correspondent with great distinctness,
but as the source is Spanish, there is
an open suspicion that the news may
be given out for the express purpose
Of injuring the insurgent cause Secre-
tary Quesada and other Cuban repre-
sentatives here have all along denied
that the insurgents would accept any
thing short Of independence, and they
profess to be shocked and disappoint-
ed at the story of weakening on the
part of Gomez. They will not admit
that he has communicated with them
but the legation story is to the effect
that q letter from the Cuban general
was received by the junta on Deem
Der 20, in which he says that if Weyler
is recalled and Martinez Campos, Cal
LEILA Isasi, or Gen. Dando sent in his
place, the insurgents will be ready to
talk of laying down their arms.
