The stories published in this country
that the Cuban leaders are ready TO treat

ISLANDERS on Cuban manhood. They are
emphatic in the statement that the Gu

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE Exam
iner this morning says:
Monroe Salisbury's financial stress,
seems near a climax Creditors are
trying to force the veteran breeder into
insolvency, and whether he can
weather the impending storm, recoup-
ing his fortune from mining interests,
as he hopes, or must lose his invest
ments, is question soon TO be decided.
Upon the application of people holding
claims against Salisbury temporary
orders have been issued from the su
periOr court of Alameda county re-
straining him from dispOsing of any
charge of affairs of the PleasantOn
Stock Farm company until the day
of hearing, which has been set by
Judge Hall for January %.
1t is set forth in the petition that
Salisbury has brought himself within
purView of the insolvency act by al
lowing judgments to be taken against
himself By default and by making
transfers of his property with intent
to hamper his creditors. That the al
fairs of the horse owner are in
tangled condition and growing worse,
is also the tenor OF the petition.
Monroe Salisbury's name is familiar
wherever there is a speed track or
wherever there are lovers of fine
horses.
The Pleasanton farm, now appar-
emily in jeopardy, has become re-
nowned as the training place of some
of the best racers ever in front of
sulky, and its history is interviewer
with the history of the American turf.
The foundation of Salisburys fortune
was in freight contracts for the gov
ernment in early days. Later he Sc
cured mail contracts, and at one time
the routes controlled by him covered
g 900 miles. BY these methods he re
Ceived the means TO make possible in
dulgence in his cherished hobby. In
the late Cos he cwned "Old ADe," then
a celebrated = pacer. He purchased
Romero and --onroe Chief and the
great Director, III.
For this horse he paid $4,000. He
secured John Goldsmith as driver and
made some Of the greatest campaigns
ever TO he told in track annals. After
giving dust to everything in California,
was taken east to win new
laurels and for Salisbury greater
riches When Salisbury built his track
and established his training farm, ne
brought out Direct, 2:0512, DirectUm.
Flying Jib, 2:04, Alex. 2:0334. the
worlds champion trOtting mare Azote,
:041a, and many others of less note.
His string have won in stakes and
purses as high as $4,000 in a single
season.
While he at times experienced losses /
on the turf. the drains that have en-
barrassed him were due largely to in
vestments in Chicago realty. He be
came interested in a steamboat scheme
on the Potomac with pleasure ground
1t was d loser. Now his
chief reliance is said to be the mines
he owns in EldOradO county and in
Utah. which reputed to be of much /
promise. Bu,, -.oweVer they turn out, /!
racing days are believed to
be over.

SENATOR CHAMBERS VIEWS.
Will Act in Accordance With His
Own Best Judgment.

Senator Chambers returned from
New York. yesterday morning. His
coming has been anxiously awaited by
more than one person who is interested
in the senatorial contest. A Herald re-
porter called on him yesterday after
noon and requested an interview on the
senatorial situation.
4 have nothing TO say at this time,
responded the senator, when asked for
his opinion, because 1 have just re-
turned and have not had the time to
make any inquiry concerning the
status of affairs. / have made uD my
mind for whom I shall cast my vote on
Tuesday, but I know absolutely moth
ing regarding the relative strength of
the several candidates"
You are aware of the fact that
petition has been circulated among
your constituents, requesting you to
vote for certain candidate?" asked
the reporter.
4 understand" replied the senator,
that such a petition has been circu-
lated. although it has not been pre-
sented to me. I believe in the right of
petition and shall endeaVor to give all
petitions that may be presented to me
respectful consideration. but I shall
always act in regard to the matter
treated Of by petition in accordance
with my own best judgment as TO the
proper course to pursue.

Political Chips.

Among the names attached to the
Salt Lake county Thatcher petition
published yesterday, that of Jacob Ole
son was included by mistake, and that
of c. a Carlquist was omitted 1t was
explained at Thatcher headquarters
that two lists had become mixed while
the names We're being copied.
We do not believe in hunting part
ridges with a base drum, remarked
the Henderson manager last evening.
The statement was made yesterday
in behalf of the Populist members from
Salt Lake county that the delegates to
the Democratic county convention had
no right to ask the POpulists to vote
for any Democrat for United States
senator, for the reason that they were
not nominated by the Democratic con-
vention. 1t was claimed that they
owed their nomination to the Populist
convention. being subsequently en-
dorsed and placed on a fusion ticket
in accordance With an agreement be
tween committees from the two parties
and furthermore, that it was distinctly
understood that the PopulstS were not
pledged TO vote for Democrat or to
follow any particular line OF policy
after their election.
g g 9
W. L. Dykes returned from Summit
county last evening, bringing d peti-
tion from the delegates to the county
convention that nominated Represent
ative Calls. asking him to vote for Mr..
Thatcher. 1t is said to he signed by
all but three of the delegates. and that
one of these three was sick and did not
attend the convention.
&: . .
A petition was also received from
Mt. Pleasant, and another from Santa
quin, the latter being signed by - vot-
ers, including y of the delegates to
the Utah county convention

The friends and supporters of
Thatcher and Rawlins held conferences
at the headquarters of their candidates
last evening.

Boise, Jan. 11.-TOnight the SenatOrlal
compass points very strongly Claggett-
ward All during the day the forces
of Mr.. Claggett, augmented, it is al
legged, by reinforcements. from the Nc
Kinley ranks, have been working like
beavers, and tonight it seems that the
statements heretofore made TO the ef-
feet that Claggett had reached the
flood tide of his vote were decidedly
premature Some strong Influence has
been brought TO bear to force Demo
Gratis TO make good their pledge to
elect a Populist senator III return for
control of the state, and tonight it is
said a few of the Democrats have
stated they consider that pledge most
binding and would assist their party
in carrying it out in the spirit in
which it was made.
The Populists held a long caucus
tonight, and it is understood that it
was decided to present Claggett's name
tomorrow or next day, the friends of
the Grey Eagle of the North believing
their champion will receive enough
votes to make material gains in his
strength, if not to elect him.
one Democrat said, from present in
dications that if Claggett were pre-
sented tomorrow. he might receive
enough Democratic votes to come
within one of election, but the inclina-
ton of the Democrats was TO hold of
to see if the Populists would not
break away from Claggett and con-
centrate on man who would be more
acceptable to the Democrats as a
whole. II Penn should then vote for
Claggett ne would be elected, but il
is believed Fem will be given to un-
derstand some one or two Democrats
or Populists would change their votes
in order to prevent an election at this
time.
During all the turmoil Dubois and
his managers remain calm, and their
actions show that they are still in the
arena. No man can tell what day
may bring forth.
The presence here of Grand Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights
of Labor has led to much speculation,
and it may be asserted that if he uses
any influence in the fight it viii not
be for C1aggett.

IN ILLINOIS.
Senatorial Fight Begins to Assume
a Heated Phase.


Springfield, H., Jan. 17.-With the re
turn of the members of the house and
senate and the appearance on the scene
OF two new candidates, the senatorial
fight begins again to assume the heated
phase that characterized it at the
close of last week. The new candidates
are William j. Calhoun of DanVille and
Congressman Albert J. Hopkins Of Au-
TOrd. Neither Of these gentlemen has
formally announced his candidacy, but
HOPKINS viii open headquarters to-
morrow morning. 1t is now apparent
that a number OF candidates are count
ing on the ina ability of the caucus to-
morrow night to name a candidate.
and hope TO get the fight transferred
to the floor OF the joint assembly trust
ing to luck to be in the pathway of the
senatorial thunderbOlt when ii strikes.
With the appearance of these two can
didates, with the possibility OF General
John McNulta entering the field, the
chances OF William +. Mason grow less
hopeful. Mr.. Mason's strength lies.
principally, in the districts outside OF
Chicago, and the new candidates are in
agricultural precincts. Each Will draw
from his forces. and the 16 supporters
claimed by Mason will be divided
among the new men, Mr.. Hopkins
starts out with the support of his SEN
atorial district, which takes three from
Mason, and the other candidates will
be backed by their representative in
the general assembly This will take
from Mason enough to make his selec-
ton uncertain in the caucus. 1t is as
serted by old politicians that the eau
Gus cannot possibly settle the conten-
ton. The machine men think that
Cook county members VIII yet win,
even il they have to put up Governor
Tanner as a compromise candidate
There Will he a full caucus of the Re-
publican members tomorrow night and
it is hoped by the Cook county dele
gates to have things so arranged that
their man viii then be finally decided
upon, if it is proven cOnclusiVely that
Lorimer cannot carry the day. With
the contest in the general assembly it
Will be anybody's fight, and a memor-
able contest is promised. Congressman
Hit is conducting a quiet, yet ener-
getic campaign, and his managers as
sert that he is the strongest man if the
contest is to be decided on merit. The
candidates for the senatOrship now
number 10. They are:
William +. Mason, Congressman Lor-
inner, Congressman Hit, Joseph Can
non, Walter Reeves, a. J. Hopkins, W
J. Calhoun. John VI. Smythe, Samuel
W. Wellerton, George Hunt. Clarke

SALT LAKE COUNTY PETITION.
Mr.. Caine Characterizes It as Fake
Politics" "

Politics"
Joseph Z. Cane, manager of the
Rawln campaign. last evening gave
out the following statement concerning
the Salt Lake county Thatcher petit
ton. published yesterday morning:
= cannot see a possibility of the
Salt Lake county petition having any
effect upon the supporters of Nr
RaWlins. From pyrOtechnical stand
point, I am willing to admit that ii
was something of a success. The
rocket made its flash, but the stick
has already come down. falling directly
into the camp of the Thatcher push.
1t is hard for me TO consider the
matter from a serious standpoint 1t
belongs in the category of fake poll
tics and TO give it Weighty cOnSidera-
tion is to dignity it beyond its deserts.
The fact that the names on the peti-
tion cannot possibly be authenticated
as members Of the county convention,
is enough to place it beyond all claims
FOR consideration. Mr.. Dunbar says he
has the signatures of 305 of the dele
gates who sat in that convention. l
challenge Mr.. Dunbar TO prove that
those men. or any considerable number
OF them. were members Of that con-
vention. we have Mr.. Dunbar's un-
supported statement that this list is
genuine. He is making this play and
il devolves upon him TO prove that it
can be backed by the facts.
Il said 10 one of the reporters on
Saturday, that the securing of names
upon the petition is simply a matter
of time and energy. The members of
the legislature from Salt Lake county
were nominated and elected without
instructions and I am willing to take
chances upon the result of this post
election effort at dictation.

A COMBINATION
Said to Have Been Formed in Wash

Olympia, Wash. Jan. 1.-THE story
is being circulated today that Governor
Rogers. Governor Daniels,
Attorney General Winston, Congress-

and others have enterede into a COM
binatiOn to elect Turner senator, in
consideration of Rogers election two
years hence. which would make Dam

Baker would have the west side con-

would be shut out. This would leave
King county without a representative.

CZARINA'S ILLNESS
Has Hindered For the Present the
Hopes of the Birth of an Heir.

London, Jan. 1.-THE Sunday Times
confirms the report Of the illness of
the czarina. 1t says that her cOndi-
tion, which is very serious, has ended
for the present the hopes of the birth
of an heir. As cabled by the United
Associated Presses yesterday. the
czarina was threatened with a mis-
carriage, which, however. was averted.
She has since been seriously i'll, and
of the usual receptions during the
Russian New Year week. Her ply
sicians say that it is necessary for
her to take a long rest at Livadia. one
of the cars estates in southern Rus
STA. where Car Alexander III died in
1894. Here she can have perfect quiet.
which is a prerequisite to her recovery.
