A Synopsis of the Report OfPatter
son and COrwin Who Have Been
Examining the Books.

Baltimore, Md, May IA synopsi.
of the report of Patterson & Corwin,
the New York expert accountants, who
have been examining the books Of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, was given
out to-day by the Baltimore Reorgan-
ization Committee, for whom the in
vestigation was made
The experts review the work Of Mr..
Stephen Little. and in connection, use
the annual report of the company from
1888 to 1896 Inclusive, the special re-
port of II. d. Bulkley, Of February,
1889, and the company's trial balance
of November go 1895. 1t is explained
that this review was undertaken with
the object of ascertaining, if possible.
the financial condition of the property
on November 80, 1895, and to show what
disposition had been made of the ap-
parently large increase funded and un-
funeded debts since September, 1888.
After endeavoring to show that the
report of Mr.. Little does not definitely
state the financial condition of the
property. and that the causes there
presented were largely ineffective, Pat
terson e Corwin say that for further
important -aases of the embarrass-
ment of the company it will be neces-
sarv TO go deeper into the facts than
Mr.. Little appears TO have penetrated.
They present a statement to show that
the company was financially embarrass-
ed on September 30, 1888, the COM
mencement of the period under discus
sion. in that it had a floating debt at
that time Of over S4.000,0O0.
The full report. together with the
tabulated exhibits is in the printers
hands and will be distributed as soon
as completed.

Washington, May 1.-THE Presi-
dent to-day sent the following mes
sage to Congress:
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives of the United States:
Official information from our consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that
large number of American citizens in
the island are in a state of destitution,
suffering for want of food and medi-
cines. This applies particularly to the
rural districts of the central and east
ern parts.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the
nearest towns. where they are without
work or money.
The local authorities of the several
towns. however kindly disposed, are
unable to relieve the needs of their own
people and are altogether powerless to
help our citizens.
The latest report of Consul General
Lee estimates that 600 to 500 Amerl-
leans are without means of support.
1 have assured him that provision would
be made at once to relive them. TO
that end l recommend to Congress
make an appropriation of not less than
$50 coo to be Immediately available
for use under the direction of the Sec
retary of State.
II is desirable that a part of the sum
which may be appropriated by Con-
gress should, in the discretion of the
Secretary of State, be used for trans
portation of American citizens who, de-
string to return to the United States,
are without means to do so.
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Executive Mansion, May Il, 1897.
A special meeting of the cabinet was
summoned this morning to consider the
matter, and the outlines of the message
we're considered. Work on the prepa-
ration of the message was begun. Sen
ator Davis, of the Foreign Relations
Committee, called at the White House
while the message was under consld-
GRAFTON. and was admitted to the con-
ference room at once. The members
of the cabinet present were Sherman,
Long, Alger, Gage and Mckenna. The

ticians and others waiting to talk with
him that he could see no one.
Senator Davis left early, but declln-
ed to make any statement regarding

Hit. of Illinois, chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee in the last

THE LILY'S HUSBAND

London, May 17.-Edward Langtry is
quoted here to-day as saying that the
information which he has received Of
the granting a decree Of divorce to his
wife, the actress, Lily Langtry, by a
California court, is that which has ap-
peared in the news dispatches. He rid
icules the power Of the California court
and says:
Mrs Langtry cannot remarry with
out committing bigamy. and if she does
so and comes to England it will be with
in the power of the public prosecutor
to indict her |, myself, would not con-
template such a step. but he might. |

guilty of was in 1881, when / was pack

Washington, May 1.-THE nomina-
tion of Joseph Gaines, of Charleston.
for United States District Attorney for
West Virginia, did not go to the Senate
to-day, and it is claimed that Con-
gresham Dorr was directly responsible
for that fact.
Mr.. Dorr went TO the White House
this morning, and finding that Gaines's
nomination was among those on the
list to be sent in by the President,
made protest against it to the Presi-
dent himself. and asked that the NOM
ination be withheld until he had
chance to be heard at length on the
case.
The President complied with Mr..
DORIS request, and it may be some time
before further action is taken in the
District Attorneyship matter by the
President.
Mr.. Dorr also lodged a protest against
the nomination of Gaines with the At
torney General.
Senator Elkins, when asked about
the matter, said he had not expected
that Mr.. Gainess nomination would be
sent in to-day. He desired that Con-
gressman Dorr should have full oppor-
tunity to State whatever objections he
had to Mr. Gaines, as the Congress-
man was entitled to be heard. He did
not wish to take snap judgment on him.
The contract for supplying fuel to

TAlLORS STRIKE.
Eighteen Thousand Men and Women
Go Out in New York and Vicinity.

New York, May 17.-There was no
outward manifestation of excitement to-
day at the headquarters of the striking
tailors. William Cohen, business agent
of the brotherhood of tailors, of which
the strikers are nearly all members,
said to-day:
In this city, Brooklyn and Newark,
$4,000 men and women are on strike,
10000 of them in this city, where 1000
shops on the East Side are closed. This
strike affects the entire clothing manu-
featuring trade. The reason for it is
the failure of the contractors to live up
TO the agreement they made more than
a year ago. About 5000 persons struck
yesterday morning and the others last
night and early to-day when they had
finished their tasks
Cohen said that assistance was eX-
pected from the Progressive Tailors
Union. No. II, which will meet tonight
and in all probability order a strike.
The union numbers about 1000 mem
bers. who make the better class or
ready-made garments. OF the strikers,
according to Cohen, $4,000 belong to
the Brotherhood of Tailers, $500 to the
Children's Jacket Makers Union, and
about 900 to the Sailors Jacket Max
ers Union.
Reports received at the headquarters
were to the effect that every shop was
closed in Brownsville, as the section Of
Brooklyn where the garment workers
live is known. In Newark about 500 all
told are reported out. About 500 of the
strikers are women, most of them be-
ing button hole makers.
The cutters, who form separate or
ganization, have not struck. They Will
go on working for a while, but Will
soon be forced to idleness because the
goods cannot be made up.

which will be presented to the Turkish

not hermit Greece TO be crushed. Al
though # is assumed in some quarters that
the Porte. in accordance with the Eastern
ueaqes has demanded more in order to
obtain less. It is pointed out that II the
Turkish government desires to bargain 1t
would not have formulated its conditions
officially.
The tone of the military officials here and
elsewhere is most emphatically against
abandoning Thessaly. They argue that II
Europe has been unable to make Greece
evacuate the Island of Crete. how Will
Europe be able to force Turkey out OF
Thessaly?
