LONDON, Feb. Ex-senator WOlcott,
who has been visiting London, Paris
and Berlin in the interests of bimetal-
lism, returned here today from the
latter city. In an interview with
representative of the Associated Press,
the senator said:

impossible any premature discussion,

Gen. Gomez has over 5000 good sol

Published reports that Col. J. J. Nc
Cook, Of New York, has been rendered
the portfolio Of attorney general can
not be verified. AS has been reported
in these dispatches, his name is believed
to have been presented by friends in
connection with a cabinet position for
several weeks past 1t is thought, how
ever, that Judge McKenna may be at
torney general, as indicated by the AS
sociated Press several weeks ago, and
that McCook's name in that event may
be under consideration for secretary Of
the interior, which, with Long, of Mas
sachusetts, for the navy, and Gary. of
Maryland, for postmaster general,
would complete the cabinet. There is
reason for the growing belief that Nc
Cook may be rendered portfolio.
James Albert Gary is a distinguished
citizen of Maryland, about sixty-th three
years of age. He was an ardent
Unionist during the war, and has been
a Republican ever since In 1870, the
Republicans nominated him for con-
gress in the Seventh district, which was
Democratic at that time, and of course
he was defeated. In 1879 the Republi-
cans nominated him for governor. In
those days the state was hopelessly
Democratic, and Mr.. Gary failed of
election, although he made a very ac-
tive canvass. He has been a delegate
to every national convention of his
party since 1872, and from 1880 to 1896
has represented Maryland upon the Re-
publican national committee. In the
councils Of his party he speaks with
authority and his utterances are heard
with respect

ATTACHED THE NOTES.
Execution on Some Paper Held by
w. F. BickeI.

An execution was issued from the
district court yesterday and placed in
the hands Of the sheriff against Hazel
M. Bickel and William F. Bickel. The
sheriff, acting under instructions Of
I. j. McDermOtt, attorney for Dennis
Sullivan, who secured the judgment of
SI21.50 against the parties mentioned,
visited the office Of William Bickel, as
signee Of the Minnesota Savings bank,
and attempted to levy on certain notes
now in the hands Of the assignee which
were given by A. S. Kittson.
In 1893, Sullivan, who, Is a non-resi-
dent, called at the Minnesota Savings
bank to deposit $4,000. According to
the statements made, Sullivan was
given to understand that there was a
better opening for his money in other
ways than savings deposits and the re-
suit was that he gave up the $4,000 and
received in return a note for six months
for that amount signed by Hazel M.
Bickel and indorsed by William F.
Bickel. The note stated that interest
at the rate Of s per cent per annum
would be paid, and in order to make
the same binding Sullivan was given
40 shares Of Minnesota Savings bank
stock to secure the note. Several
months afterward, he desired to use
some money, but found that he could
realize nothing on his collateral He
gentleman had looked up the law there
was a conference between Mr.. Bickel
and the attorney. The result of the
conference was that w. F. Bickel
agreed to pay a certain sum each
month until the $4,000 received from
Sullivan had been paid. This arrange
ment was carried out until all but
$721.50 Of the. amount had been paid
back to Sullivan. The suspension of the
bank Dut an end to the DaymRntS and
on Jan. 25 Sullivan commenced suit in
the district court to recover the balance.
There was no answer and judgment
was taken by default
The attorney for the plaintiff was in
formed that the notes given by A. S.
KittsCn and now held by the assignee
Of the Minnesota Savings bank were
the personal property Of William F.
Bickel, and consequently could be levied
on to satisfy the judgment. 1t is claim
ed that the notes, amounting to over
$4,000, were given by KittsOn as
loan on the charter Of the Minnesota
Savings bank This, however, has been
denied by Mr.. Bickel, who has repeat
edly stated that the charter was whole
and entire, and could not be mortgaged
or disposed of without the consent Of
the trustees of the bank. The attorney
for Sullivan claims that if such is the
case, the notes given by Kittson are
not the property of the bank, but be-
long to w. F. Bickel, and are subject
to execution to satisfy the judgment

Kyle Denies Any Deal.
Says He Is Independent

Special to the Globe
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. ia meeting
was held tonight of the Republican
members of the legislature who as
sisted in electing Senator Kyle, which
was addressed by leading Republicans
of the state, who gave their sanction
to the acts Of yesterday and who were
followed by the senator In an outline Of
his position. He denied any deal or
change in views, but stated that he
believed that, as the people of the
country had voted for g. tariff policy.
they should not be disappointed but
given all the assistance of both houses
Of congress and the president III Sc
curing the enactment into a law CT
such a policy without any riders of
any kind on the bill That he would
have taken the sans position if he
had been elected by the Popu;ist votes
and that he expected some differences
on the floor of the senate with his col
league on such a policy. He declared
that he still reserved to himself the
right to vote as he saw fit on the sill
yer question and he was not in the
least changed on that question any
more than on the tariff. After the
meeting there was reception in which
Kyle greeted all the %sepublicans pres
ent. s---4ts--r-s
In the senate todai4 the house bill,
was passed allowing the commissioner
of lands to dispose 9f the lands Sc
cured from w, w. Taylor; also num-
Der of unimpOrtant measures. Two bills
were introduced in the house, one
to authorize the governor to appoint
a commission of three to frame reve-
nue. loans for the state, and one ID
let the county printing of commission
ers' proceedings and tax list to the
lowest bidder. The. senate antitrust
bill was amended exempting labor or
ganizations from It's. provisions and
passed. The equal suffrage bill came
up again and went into general or
ders, where it will stay for the rest
of the session. The governor returned
a bill relating to taxation with his
veto, as dangerous bill which would
in fact work just the opposite effect
from that desired, and his veto was
sustained with but one dissenting vote
The bill to abolish the Office of engi-
neer of irrigation passed, as did a bill
in regard to settlement for damage
from fires set or stock killed by rail-
roads.
The Populists evidently worked off
their wrath in their indignation meet
ing last night, and all are quiet today.
Their resolutions, which were signed
by all the Populist members, except
those who voted for Kyle, recite the
fact that Kyle was elected by the
votes Of So Republicans, 8 Populists
and Democrats; that he sold himself
to the Republicans and is no longer a
representative of the free silver in
terests; that the free silverites de-
nounce him for his sale, and that we
hereby repudiate him.

the Spanish troops and capturing one
piece of artillery and forty men, includ-
ing four officers. The fight was a
nerce one, the insurgents being we'll en-
trenched in the swamps of Mont Saria,

1t was one Of the worst defeats vet
sustained by any Spanish column
and with the greatest loss to the Span-
lards, considering the number of men
engaged, and that Weyler was terribly
eEraged on hearing of it.
