INDICTED FOR FRAUD.
The Grand Jury Returns Counts Against
Nineteen Persons.

The Grand Jury Returns Counts Against
Nineteen Persons.
The grand jury that has been in ses
sion in Denver for month to investigate
the election frauds perpetrated last
spring, returned 80 indictments against
10 persons that acted as judges, clerks,
watchers or other officials of that kind.
The charges are for conspiracy, forg-
cry or neglect of duty as election officials.
The persons indicted were from the
third and fourth wards and comprise the
usual gang of tricksters and ward heelers
that follow such work as profession.
Andrew Limbeck was the only one ar.
rested on the charges and he spent last
night in Jail. The rest were out of town
or otherwise inaccessible and it is ex-
pected that their arrest will follow later.
The jury announced that their labors
were not finished and further develop
ments may yet be expected.

An Explanation from Mr.. Bryan.

Cincinnati, O., June 23.-The En-
quirer this morning printed the following
statement by the Hon. w. J. Bryan in
answer to Prof. Bateman's attack on
Mr.. Bryan, carried by the Associated
Press yesterday, under Lewiston, Me-,
date:
"When asked by An Enquirer reporter
concerning the charges made by Prof.
Bateman, the peoples party candidate e
for governor of Maine, last year, Mr.
Bryan said:
"No conditions were attached to the
money turned over to Senator Allen, ex.
cept that it should be used according to
Mr.. Aliens judgment for the cause Of
bimetallism. All donations were made
for that purpose. The money was d.
vided between Democrats. Populists and
Silver Republicans in propo rtion to the
vote cast. To have ignored the Popu
lists in the distribution would have beer
an inexcusable slight. The subject ol
fusion was not discussed directly or in
directly.
"Mr. Bateman, presume, has refer
ence to the letter as reproduced in my
book. took il from the newspaper. II
Prot. Bateman proves to me that it wa:
a mistake shall make the change in

of the carpenters, it is interesting to note
that other structures and concerns have
gone the way of business and of flesh.

Washington, June Ex-senator Mason

ting all she was entitled to in the matter
of appointments, and thus called forth
the premature announcement of the ap-
pointment of VIM. J.. Calhoun, which he
is to receive in return for his little COM
mission trip to Cuba.
"Why," said the president, al gave
Illinois cabinet position, (Gage) and
gave the comptroller Of currency to an
Illinois man (Dawes). There are other
men in the consular service and in vari
Gus departments and have just offered
VIM. ]. Calhoun the conptrollership oi

The last item was news to Senator Ma

and created some little surprise.

affairs preparatory to removing to Wash

AUTONOMY MUST BE Complete.

sAeasea Tsls the Galatians ms. Tie Cuban
Programme Must He Modified.
Madrid, Nov. 24.-Premier Sagasta, re-
plying to a Catalan deputation. formally
declared that the government Of Spain
could in no way modify its programme
Of autonomy for Cuba. Continuing, the
premier expressed the hope that the
Cuban assembly would elect a commits
sion which would cooperate with q
Spanish commission in determining the
commercial relations between Cuba and
Spain, by consulting their mutual in
terests. This is interpreted as meaning
that the cabinet will adopt the scheme
OF Senior Moret, the minister for the
colonies, who announced to a Catalan dele
cation Monday that he had fully con-
sidered the general interests Of the
colonies and was convinced that his
policy alone would lead to a peaceful
solution.
In conclusion the minister announced
his intention to maintain his opinion be-
fore the cabinet. and IL his colleagues
disagreed with him he was prepared to
resign. Senior Puigcerver, minister of
finance. when receiving the Catalan
populations. spoke in substantially the
same vein as Senior Sagasta. The cab
met in council has approved the article
In the autonomy scheme giving the Gu
bans the control Of the customs. Its
terms will not be published until it has
received the sanction Of the queen re-
gent. One provision OF the Cuban pro-
gramme gives the governor general the
veto power over Cuban legislation.

Naval Militia Wants Ships.
The different state organizations are
Continually asking for old vessels, and
the department has finally tried the ex-
pertinent Of sending the Yantic to the
lakes for the use of the Michigan militia.
The supply Of these old wooden vessels
has now become practically exhausted.
The department has tried the expert
ment Of leaning monitors to the different
organizations, but the results have not
SO Tar been satisfactory, as monitors are
poor ships for cruising or for use as
barracks. There are three or four of
these organizations which, in the event
or sudden emergency. could be utilized
at once for manning the smaller national
cruisers. but this course cannot general
ly be the case with the majority of the
organizations
Theodore Plans Out Campaign,
They must be depended upon primar-
ny as a second line Of defense. There are
two very important features which
should be attended to by such a second
line. One Is the placing of mines. the
other the establishment OF signal sta
tons for coast defense. The department
should request that there should be in.

tenance Of the naval militia the words

low Of trainr them for this purpose.
The department has also been maturing
plans for signal stations for coast
defense. and very slight expenditure Of
money with the cooperation of the
treasury department will put this on a
satisfactory basis. The organizations
are continually requesting the detail OF
officers to instruct them, and they can
best OF all be instructed by actual SER
vice on regular war vessels or under the
supervision of naval officers and in con-
junction with sailors.

1T Is much TO be wished that congress

substitution for the old paddle-wheel
steamer Michigan on the lakes OF a
small modern gunboat-perhaps Of the
Petrol type-to be devoted largely to
cruising with the lake militia organiza-
lions and to overseeing them; and fur
thermore. to the building Of one similar
small cruiser on the Pacific and two on
the Atlantic. to be used for this same
purpose. With these cruisers It would
be possible TO bring lie naval militia or

ARMOR PLANT FOR UNCLE SAM.
Special Naval Board Has Plans for
Scheme to Cost o., OOO, 900.


Scheme to Cost 100000
Washington, Nov. 24.-The special ma
val board appointed to examine into the
cost Of armor making will present to
congress details Of a plant which it has
designed. 1t will cost more than 49,
100000 and will have a capacity Of 5000
tons of armor per annum, which is about
the combined capacity Of the two armor
plants now supplying the navy. The
processes of manufacture will include
the very latest developments in the art
Of metallurgy, and while the plans con-
template the manufacture of Harvey
lied nickel steel they will admit Of easy
adaptation to the new secret Krupp proc
ess of hardening armor by the use Of
gas.
The plans are said to be perfect in ev-
cry detail, and being drawn under one
Of the leading experts of the country the
specifications are said to be so well de-
fined that no difficulty is expected to
arise in securing straight bids The
board has prepared the form of adver-
tisement calling for bids for erecting this
plant, as congress desired that inforna-
ton. 1t is the purpose to have all Of tine
plans in the secretary's hands by the LIST
CT Eext month, and If the advertisement
Is promptly sent out it is hoped that
within three months at the latest con-
gress will have before it full informa-
ton as to the cost Of an arn,or plant as
well as offers from existing plants to sell
out to the government.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Lind
say, of Kentucky, who is one of the
three gold Democrats in the senate. was
asked what policy he and those Demo.
cratic senator's who agree with him on
financial questions would pursue in case
an effort should be made to secure cur.
rency legislation at the Approaching ses-
eion CT congress. He replied I'VE have
mad no conference among ourselves.
and therefore have not agreed upon any
policy. II the Republicans have anypol-
icy as to line of action I have not been
informed what it is. Hence I am not in
a position to answer your question. I
MAY say, however. that think the coun.
try still wants the currency reformed,
and believe that IL the Republicans
could agree among themselves it would
be possible for them te'accomplish this
end; but without being in their counsels
! see some indications that this agree
ment may be difficult to secure.
III they had given us different tariff
law the task Of securing the necessary
reform would have been q comparatively
easy one, for If the country's revenues
were equal to its expenditures It would
not be so difficult to secure an agree
ment to repeal the clause Of the act Of
1873 requiring greenbacks when pre-
sented to the treasury to be reissued,
and that is all the legislation that would
be necessary: for with the necessity for
the resistance Of the greenbacks done
away with they would all be redeemed
and cancelled in a very short time. In
the face. however, Of the insufficiency of
the revenues this course would be more
difficult and I cannot yet say what IL
anything will be done or attempted"

. sfudent Of the sugar problem, who u
now in Washington. France, fer In
stance. gives its growers Of beet sugar
q bounty. with the result that sugar is
nigh in France and very cheap in Eng
land. The first result Of the government
AID In France and Germany was to
destroy the sugar refining business in
free trade England and to throw thou
sands OF rehners there out Of work.
But, on the other hand, owing to the
low price at which England was then
able to get her sugars, while other
countries paid part Of the cost, there
was in Great Britain a wonderful in
crease in the business Of preserving
fruits. Of making CONNECTIONS, candies
and other goods in which sugar is the
chief constituent.
Where one man has lost work through
the closing Of the refineries six have
been able to get employment in the
lines of industry so greatly stimulated.
Not only was there a gain here, but
England has been given a wider market
for the sale Of its sweets and preserves.
being enabled to undersell all other
countries. The results show that the
bounty businessi Is a double-edged sword
that may cut against as well as for the
nation that INDUCES therein"
