THE NEW BOAT.

The Pere Marquette arrived here

ed 1t. About half AN hour was occupied
IN fitting her to the tracks and then the
locomotive took out the % cars for ship
ment over the Chicago & Northwestern
! A constant stream of visitors visited
the boat and all said that IN appearance
and equipment she far exceeded their
| expectations. The long tracks on the
| main deck make is look like railroad
| yard and fully excused the searcher for
work at Ludlngton who came aboard and
asked for the yard master. Not even q
tremble of the boat is felt when the cars
are being moved, so solid IL the boat.
About II a. m. the boat proceeded up
the river to be fitted for the Wisconsin
Central slip. The bridges were thronged
with people to witness. her passage 1t
was feared she might have trouble in
getting through the draw of Main street
bridge, but she got through all right and
went up to the large basin to wind.
The boat is perfect beauty, having
none OF the clumsy appearance of the or
binary ferry boat. In appearance she re-
sembles an ocean steamer. Her length
Is such that.it merges her width and
gives Der graceful general appearance.
She spent Monday in Milwaukee and it
Is estimat ed that 10000 people inspected
her. So large was the stream that ar
engagements had to be made to prevent
crush.
She is twin screw beat. with q speed
OF 10 miles per hour. Her machinery is
magnificent and was.the wonder OF the
engineers who visited her. She is $50
feet long and 56 feet wide, the biggest
boat which has yet been in Milwaukee or
Manitowoc. She carries 80 cars and has
accommodations on the upper deck for
80 passengers. On the trip she had %
cars and the private car Of General Man

He had been considered quite a
dandy in his youth, and the new fash

when he played the lady killer, "about
Boney's time.''
He was very vain of his tail, and
often prided himself in his weak, qua
vering voice, of being "the only gentle
man left that waS dressed as a real
gentleman should be-" His sole regret
was that he was obliged to have his
hair braided by others, when his own

NEW YORK, May 17.-Firms and in

terested In trade with Cuba, and who
desire peace IN the island as soon as
possible, sent today to the secretary Of
state memorial setting forth how their
business interests are suffering, and
giving facts about the struggle in Cuba,
in the hope that measures may be de-
vised to terminate the war in the island.
The memorial is as follows:
The subscribers to this memorial, citizens
of the United States doing business as bank
ers, merchants, manufacturers, steamship
owners and agents in the cities of Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Savan-
nah, Charleston, Jacksonville. New Orleans
the United States who have been for many
years engaged in the export and import trade
with the island of Cuba, finding that their
several interests are suffering severely from
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-18

the long continuance Of the struggle now go
ing on in the island of Cuba, desire to pre-
sent for your careful consideration the fol,
lowing facts, in the hope that you may find
in them sufficient justification of this
memorial and may be able to devise measures
whereby the termination of the struggle be-
tween the armed forces in the island OF Cuba
may be. hastened and the sufferings and
losses of your subscribers may be relieved
and commerce may be re-estabMshed between
the United States and the isand OF CUBA.
The magnitude of the American commerce
with the island of Cuba is readily shown by
citing the volume of trade with that island
for the years 1893, 1894 and 1895, in each OF
which the value of our imports from Cuba
exceeded SIS OC0, 900. Our exports to Cuba
ranged in value from $25, ,0aO, 600 to $50, 900
a year during these years, and had been
even greater IN previous years curing tne
reciprocity treaty Of the United States with
Spain.
continued for more than two years, to the
serious arrangement of our commerce with
the island, our imports from Cuba shrink
ing in value to some $50, 900, GOO in 1886, and
our exports to Cuba in 1896 amounting to
only 81 000 900 so far as ascerfatAahle. tI5e /.
Many of your subscribers moreQts6 have IN
terests in Cuba either as property holders Or,
holders of mortgages or In the shape or pusi-
ness credit advances, ana your supscrloeIs
see these interests, already seriously injured,
now threatened with annihilation by the con-
tinuance Of state of affairs, under which
we can neither operate any business IN the
island for Cuba with safety nor take the pre-
cautions possible in ordinary times to pro-
tect our interests.
The rainy season Is now at hand In Cuba,
ond as military operations of any magnitude
are made virtually impossible for thenext five
months by reason Of the tropical climate and
rains. the relative position of the two con-
tending parties cannot be greatly altered dur
ing the summer months.
It appears to your subscribers that for the
reasons above cited they may venture to lay
these facts before you, most approximately at
this time and they sincerely hope that you may
be inclined, in view of the magnitude and i'm
portance of the American commercN interests
that are involved to give careful consideration
to the serious blow inflicted upon our COM
merce and trade by the present disturbance
in Cuba and to determine upon the exPedi-
ency of taking measures which may facilitate

NOT TO THE JURY YET.
Defense in Durham Case Will Begin
It's Argument TOdHv5G

When the trial of the Durham case was
resumed yesterday morning Mr.. Noyes moved
that the court direct verdict for the defend
ant, on the ground that the evidence did not
show facts sufficient to warrant a verdict of
guilty Mr.. Noyes argued his notion on the
ground that the evidence did not bear out the
assertion in the Indictment that the offer Of
the bribe had been made to a co-partnership.
Even suppos:ng that the law allowed the al
legation of an offer to co-partnership, the
evidence showed conclusively that the offers
had been made to individuals. and that the
partnership had never been mentioned, nor
had both partners been present at any time
when the alleged offer was made. The court
denied the motion to direct verdict, and the
county attorney began his closing to the jury.
Mr.. Peterson did not complete his argument
until 4:15 o'clock and Mr.. Harrison asked to
be allowed to wait until morning before be-
ginning his argument. The court allowed the
wat, but appointed o'clock as the hour
when the case should be called this morning
