commissioner SHlnOun tNllS on the
Chief Magistrate and Gives His Im-
pressions as to Conditions In the
War Ridden Island.
Washington, June 9.-W. ]. Calhoun
of Illinois, the special commissioner
sent to Cuba by President Mckinley,
arrived from New York yesterday
afternoon at o'clock. He went inn
medlately to the state department,
where Judge Day. the assistant secre-
tary of state. was awaiting him. and
together they proceeded to the White
House. They were shown into the cab
met room, where President Mckinley
and Judge Day listened to MIR. CAL
houn's description of the situation in
the war ridden island and to the con-
clusions reached by him. Judge Day
declined to be interviewed on the sub
ject of the conference further than to
say that 1t was very interesting. Mr..
Calhoun likewise preferred not to talk
of the interview, further than to say he
had reported to the president what he
had seen and heard.
Mr.. Calhoun again met the president
this morning, when he again went over
his Impressions. Mr.. Calhoun did not
60 to Nashville with the president, as
had been thought would be done, but
will leave for his home in Illinois prob
ably this afternoon and If necessary
will visit here after the president re-
turns from Nashville. The report Of
Consul General Lee on the Ruiz case,
Assistant Secretary Day said last night.
had not been received by the state de-
rartment. The report, however, is in
the city, having been brought here by
Mr.. Fishback, the secretary who ac-
companied Mr. Calhoun on his Havana
trip. Mr.. Calhoun expressed great sur
prise at the publication Of what pur-
ported to be General Lees report. He
said the document had been sealed in
Consul General Lees office in the reg
ular official way and delivered to MIR.
Fishback, who brought it to New Yo'K
and to Washington. He was unable to
understand how it should have become
public,
Calhoun talked with less freedom
than characterized his interviews while
in New York. He complained that one
Of these had been exaggerated and had
made him say what he had not uttered.
The commissioner carefully refrained
from expressing any opinion as to the
probable policy Of the president in act
ing on the Cuban question, declaring
that he had been to the island simply
to learn facts and to report what he
bad seen and heard. This he had done.
X he has formed any opinion regard
inc the Ruiz case, Mr.. Calhoun politely
declined to indicate what it was On
The prospects of the continuation of the
war, the condition of the suffering
Americans. and General Lees firm at
tltude as an American representative,
-Mr. Calhoun spoke In terms similar to
those he used in his published inter-
view. 1t is believed that the president
will take decided action on his return
from Nashville.

Declares He Is .Healer" schlatter.


Cleveland, o., June "a man who
declares he is Francis Schlatter, the
alleged healer. who was reported to
have starved to death in Mexico, ar
rived in Cleveland yesterday. With
him is man named Holland Berger, of
New York. who says they intend to
open an institute in this city. 1t is
difficult to prove or disprove the claim
of the alleged healer, because if he is
Schlatter he has shaved his beard, but
there is certainly a strong resemblance
between his features and some of the
published pictures of Schlatter. He
laughed when his attention was direct
ed TO the starvation story, and de-
clared that he had been visiting his

STOCK.AND PRODUCE MARKETS,


ward Bound in sugar.
New York June S.-The tone of today's
market for stocks was distinctly reaction
ary throughout though not to a marked
extent. The tendency was made the more
marked by the failure of the market to
rally with any marked degree of vigor
under the strong impetus of an upward
bound of sugar. This failure was the
more notable on account of the great
stress laid by the traders in stocks hith-
erte on the early disposition of the tariff
question by the passage of bill-a con-
summation which seems apprecably ad'
vanced by todays action of the Rcpubli-
can senators' caucus. The heaviest in
tlucnCe towards reaction came from Lon
don, though there were other clements
of weakness in the market which must
be taken account of. Closing bids:

How Early Settlers in Oregon Induced
Women to Go to Their State.
There are plenty Of women in Ore
gon now" observed a prominent Ore
gon politician, who is in Washington to
see that the state is not forgotten in the
matter Of patronage, but 1t is within
the memory of many of US when wom-
en- were scarce there. We gave 1t out
that we wanted them for school teach
ers and the like, and encouraged them
to come out there, but the truth was
the men wanted them for wives. l re-
member once we sent young man to
Massachusetts, where he was well ac-
Quainted, with orders to collect one
hundred young women and escort them
back to Oregon. We guaranteed every
one Of them one years employment.
The active man in the matter was
fine looking young man, who after
wards served two terms In congress
from our state. He spent two months
In selecting the party and started west
with them. On the trip out he courted
one Of the school teachers on his own
hook, and actually got her conser: to
a marriage on the arrival Of the train
at Portland. The boys howled consid4
erably about 1t, claiming that he had
treated them unfairly in having first
choice, but there was lot Of fine, mar
riageable material left. Some Of these
women are today the leading ladies' OF
the society Of the state. More than
three-fourths of tho hundred were mar
ried inside Of three years, and many In
less than one year. A few Of the lot.
however, are teaching school here to-
day, not that they did not have any Of
fers, but because they would not accept
any of the fellows who offered them
selves. Now that Senator Mitchell has
about given up his contest to return az
senator, he will likely be succeeded BY
gentleman who married one OF the
party of school teachers to which re-
fer. He will bring his wife here with
him, and your Washington folks can
see for themselves the kind Of ladies
we had out there for school teachers.
They can't be surpassed, even II equalOd
anywhere I may be an interested
/ person, though, for It happens tnat my
wife was one of the party"
