His Wife Is Seeking D:cree In Appellate
Court.

The question Of whether or not the claim Of
Joseph German that in far away Russia he
was divorced from his wife, Maley German,
in October, 1896, Is true. took up considerable
time in the Appellate Court this morning
Some months ago Mrs. German began a suit
for divorce from her husband and one week

granting of an allowance to her until her di-
vorce case shall be heard James A. Nillisms,
who represented Mr.. German, produced n

meaning Of, but wkiel he claimed was di-
vorco his client had obtain6j from rabbi.
The case was cuntinuud- n work IN order that
Mr.. Williams might obtain expert testimony
ON the valae Of the alleged divorce.
When the matter was reached today Mr.
Williams called as his first witness Rabbi N.

the merits Of the case. He always in
sisted that the Pitsburg district is the
key to the situation and the operators
hold out to him an olive branch from
which Is suspended the key he sought.
Mr.. Ratchford is using the Pittsburg
miners as a cats paw to scratch polit-
ical chestnuts off the idle coal tipples
in this district. He knows very well
that delay in settlement will deprive
Pittsburg miners Of work which will
be done during the winter by miners
of the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
regions. Mr.. Ratchford must arrange
a conference at once for settlement or
arbitration of the troubles in the Pitts
burg coal district or he must stand ac-
cused of inconsistency and insincerity.
Public opinion will certainly hold him
responsible for the restitution which
must inevitably prevail in the district
during the coming winter"

IN CUBA.
RumOrs That Our Government is About to
Take Decisive Steps to Put a Stop to the
Present State Of A HAfrs-TO Sound Euro.
Dean Governments on the Question.

Washington, August 20.-OficialS of the
state department were very reticent today
when asked concerning a report in circu-
lation that definite instructions have been
given all our foreign ambassadors and
ministers in European countries to sound
and ascertain the attitude of European
governments in case the United States
should intervene in Cuba. While general
denials were made by some of them,
others intimated that the United States
was ready to resume the position taken
by President Grant in 1874. as shown by
the instructions of Secretary Fish to
Minister Gushing. Although it does not
appear that these Instructions were car
ried cut, and there is no knowledge of
what Spain would have lone in the
premises. it is possible that Minister
Woodford will have a different repor to
make. It can be stated, on information
received here, that there is no truth in
the epcrt that Lord Salisbury has sent
an ~unfavOrabie answer to a suggestion
that the United States should interfere,
the fact being that he has not replied at
all to the attempt of our ambassador to
sound him on the subject, and that his at
titude gives reason to believe he will not
oppose such action as our interests may
make necessary.
Minister Woodford's instructions are to
intimate to Spain that the United States
will intervene unless the situation in
CuDd speedily improves. IhlS, In eHect,
was the instructions which were given Mr..
Cushing by Mr.. Fish, and it is under
stood that the attitude of the United
States is almost identical with the position
taken during General Grants administra-
ton. Then, as now, the good offices Of
the United States had been rendered to
Spain to bring about a settlement of the
war, but" said Secretary Fish. 1.-The well
intended proffers of the United States were
unwisely rejected by Spain.' The secre-
tary reviewed the situation, which pres
ented many similar phases to that which
exists now. President Grant, said the
secretary, regarded independence as the
only and necessary solution of the Cuban
question. The attitude of the present ad-
miniStratiOn is said to be on the same
lines, and it is stated Minister WOOdford
will make it clear to the Spanish au-
thorities that our interests will make in
PREVENTION by the United States mpera.
tive unless something is done speedily by
Spain to improve the present situation
disastrous as it is to all our interests.

The Mfchael.Starbuck Race.

New York, August 21.-Jimmy Michael,
the Welsh Bicycle rider, easily defeated
J. Frank Starbuck, Of Philadelphia, in a
thirty mile race at the Manhattan Beach
track today. Although Michael had the
poorer set of machines for p~ace-making,
his pluck and stamina stood him in good
stead, and he finished the contest in 66K
minutes, fully two miles ahead of his
American opponent. The attendance was
II, 600. Both men were in perfect condi-
ton. A good deal of money changed
hands on the result. but the admirers of
the foreigner had to lay odds on the can
didate and many bets were made in favor
of Michael at 100 to so and 100 to 20 on.
Each contestant had thirty-two pace
makers ard in this respect Starbuck had
the call. He had secured some Of the
very best professional cyclers in the
but less formidable machines to tack on
to. Starbuck had three sextetle teams,
one %quintette and one quad and two trip
let teams, while Michael had one sextette,
one quaint, four quads and a triplet.
Both went off from a standing start
and each picked up triplet PAGERS. Star
buck got the pole, but in the second lap
Michael picked up a sextette and assumed
the little Welshman was 100 yards ahead
and at the end of the third mile he was
400 yards ahead. From this point to the
end of the race Michael held a very de-
cided advantage. The track is one-third
Of a mile around, and at the finish of the
S.xth mile. Michael had gained a lap on
MS adversary. The fifteenth mile was
run in the fastest time, 1852. The slowest
mile run was the thirty-third and last,
but this could be easily accounted for
through the fact that Michael was nearly
covering the last mile in PIP AS. From
the fifteenth mile to the end of the race,
Michae beat every standing record previ-
ously established in a contest. When the
the crowd jumped in on the track and
Michae was carried On their shoulders to
his dressing room, while his trainer and
manager, Shafer, was also carried by the
spectators in lively fashion across the
field. MichaeT's wheel was geared to LOG,
and Starbuck'S to IS.

The Presidential Outing

Bluff Point, n. Y, August 21.-The
secretary of war came back here with
the president today and will stay until
the party leaves. The president ar
rived at Z o'clock this morning, but,
being fatigued after his trip, remained
in the private car until a late hour.
General Alger said that the present
programme of the president is to leave
here on Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock
and go through to Buffalo on a spe-
cial train, arriving there about 2 O'Clock
on Tuesday afternoon. DR.. Depew's
private car will be reserved for the
use Of the president and his immediate
party, while a combination car will
serve for the other guests.
Ethan A. Hitchcock, Of st. Louis, Mo,
the newly appointed minister to Rus
STA, arrived here today. He did not
get a chance to see the president until
nearly noon. He said to the Associated
Press representative: Il came here as
soon as I received my commission, to
pay my respects to the president and
ask his wishes as to my departure
MI. Hitchcock's appointment dates
from August 18th.
Vice President and Mrs. Hobart were
numbered among the missing when
President Mckinley returned. Mrs.
Hobart has for the past few days been
in poor health and her physicians be-
lieved she would improve more rapidly
at home. Upon this advice it was de-
cided yesterday to return to New Jer-
sey and the vice presidential party left
on q late afternoon train. 1t Is ex-
pected that they will return later to
finish out the season. -.
