RAILROADS SWlNDLED
In Cincinnati By Thousands of Bogus Pauper's
 Passes.

Cincinnati. Feb. 3.-The railways here have discovered that they have been swim died out of thousands of dollars by bogus orders from the mayor for pauper passes.
 These orders were printed and bound in pads with the name of the mayor and his secretary printed on them. Instead of sign ing these orders the city seal or stamp had been used. but through carelessness these orders were finally given out without stamping.
 Recently many pads got into the hands of scalpers and have been sold for months by ticket brokers. The discoveries date back as far as last October, and 1t is be- lieved they extend back a year or more. One railway traced over S1,0OO worth of them today on It's lines. and other lines are proceeding with the investigation.
 Today Jos and Lyman Hess were arrest ed on the charge of purloining passes from the mayors office. Their brother, Harry, had been employed in that office. Samuel Phillips was arrested, charged with sell ing the orders on which tickets were h. sued. Other arrests will follow.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Senator Teller. chairman of the senate committee on claims, today introduced two bills embody- ing the results of the committee investiga- ton under the provision of the general de- ficiency act of last session authorizing that committee to investigate and report upon mertorious claims against the government before the committee. One of the bills re- fers numerous claims to the court of claims and the other is an omnibus meas ure as follows:
 Court of claims cases (mostly under the Bowman acD $1 $40 ,963; French spoliation claims $1.043,117, under naval contracts $792, 800; on account of churches and schools s365, STA; claims of states s4,693,12S; miscel- laneous claims sS97 ,104 for adjustment and settlement Gin parD $1sO, ,s5s; total ,2S3. Under the claims of states head provision is made for investigation by competent tri- bunals of the claims of Florida and Ten nessee against the United States and against the counter claims of the general government against those states.

GROWS OUT OF A CONTRACT
Entered Into With Mexico By the Postal Te'e-
 graph Company.

New York, Feb. 3.-The order of the Mexican government to the Mexican Ma tional and the Mexican Central railroad companies that they must discontinue handling commercial and other telegraph messages between the United States and Mexico, grows out of the fact that nearly a year ago the Mexican Central and Mex ican National companies entered into an arrangement with the Postal Telegraph company whereby the latter company ex- tended it's American lines to Fl Paso and began building to Laredo to effect an ex- change of business at the Mexican border, and have ever since been carrying on a through telegraphic service to the Mex ican capital.
 The officials of the Postal Telegraph company in this city stated today that their company received information some time ago to the effect that the Mexican government had entered into a contract for exclusive connection with the Western Union Telegraph company for the ex change of telegraph business with federal lines, and that this contract, if carried out, would prevent the railway companies who own their telegraph lines from trans- mitting business which they have contract ed to exchange with the Postal company The Postal officials further explain that their concessions from the Mexican gov- ernment as clearly confers upon them the right to transmit commercial telegraph business as to operate their railways.

ROW AMONG DEPUTIES.
The Statesmen Have a Lively Seance-A Duel
 Ensues,.

Paris, Feb. 3.-Continuing consideration of the naval budget, the chamber of dep- uties today voted, by 263 ayes to 260 nays, a reduction of 1000 francs in the credit for department inspection. This was a protest against the suppression of the re- ports of the supervising committee, and in spite of the declaration of the minister of marine, Admiral Besnard. that he had no desire to suppress reports to parliament. and 1t implies, therefore, vote of want of confidence in Admiral Besnard.
 M. Jaurez the socialist supported the radicals, and called attention to the al- legged tampering with the correspondence of M Del Casse, deputy for Folk, in the department of Ariege, from an official at the Toulon dockyard. He demanded a ju- dcial inquiry into the facts of the case.
 M. Moline, the premier, refused this de- mand, but promised a departmental in- quiry.
 The chamber then, by a vote of S13 against 237, rejected the motion for a ju- dicial inquiry, and voted confidence in the government by 317 against 1SS.
 Alexandre Millerand, one of the Paris deputies, and Henry Lavertujon, deputy for Saint Trick, will fight duel with swords today, growing out of an alterca- tion during the debate in the chamber yes- terday on the Jaurez resolution, when M. Lavertujon called M Millerand "an in- solent."

Iaa Not lsacl.ed Down

London, Feb. 3--On incontrovertible au- thority the Associated Press learns that Great Britain has not backed down on the question of making Ia Lien Wan a free port. The Marquis of Salisbury, Mr. Cur zon, the parliamentary secretary of the foreign office; the Russian ambassador and the Chinese minister. each said yesterday In conversation that they had not heard of any back down.
 The opening of Ia Lien Wan, it is point ed out, was never made a condition in any sine qua sense, in connection with the loan to China In the preliminary nego- tlations on that subject the opening Of Ia Lien Wan was conceded In neutral tints' Great Britain only suggesting 1t as condi- tlon favoring a speedy completion of the loan.
 She never demanded 1t and therefore in no sense can be said to have backed down, if the desire was not persisted in.
 The Ia Lien Wan question, is however. still negotiating.

THE kL0NDIKE STYLE.
Doc Tanner Summarily Dealt With For
 Murder.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 3.-"Boys, string me up if you life, but remember that you are hanging the steadiest man with a six shooter that came out of Montana. You say it's all right to hang me, and I guess 1t is. I am only sorry did not get the rest of them.''
 With these words 'Doc" Tanner faced his executboners on the morning of Jan uary 9 at valdes Pass. The men who ;sassed sentence on fldm were members of n party of Massachusetts prospectors bound for the Copper River country, Alaska, and the crime for w!hsch Tanner paid the pen- atty was for the killing of N. A. Gadl, of Wuthington, BIinn., and William E. Lee. of Lowell, Mass.
 The expedition consisted of forty men, and M. F. Tanner had joined them in Seattle on their way north. He was sup piled with an outfit and taken into mem bership, but unmindful of that fact, he was quarrelsome and so overbearing that his companions decided that he must leave the party. On the evening of Jan. 1 a meeting was held in Calls tent, and during the conference the statement was made "We must get rid of Tanner"
 There were four men at the meeting. and no sooner had the remark been made than the flap of the little tent was pulled aside The cowboy stood there six-shooter in hand.
 Before his victims realized what had happened Tanner had shot twice, and the bullets pierced Gall and Lee through the chest. Tanner fired again, but his pre- cediug shot had extingushed the candle and the bullet did not take effect One of the remaining members crouched down behind some baggage and the other, cut ting his way out of the tent, gave the alarm. Tanner was then captured.

MAYOR HARRISON
 WAS RESCUED From Gfable'S Clutches by the QuiHlin
 Episode. A GOLD MINING SCHEME Has Grable'S Game and He Mas Working
 It Vigorously. A HANDSOME SUITE OF ROOMS Occupied By Grable, and His Expenses Ran to $500 Week Sudden Cessation of
 Operations Caused By the
 New York Affair.
A HANDSOME SUITE OF ROOMS

Chicago, Feb. S--No more energetic cam paign was ever worked to enlist capital in a mining venture than the one in which Francis c. Grable has been engineering at the great Northern hotel for the last six weeks. The revelation of his financial transactions with the Chemical National the crusade which had been so vigorously waged to enlist Chicago people In his latest enterprise, ''the consolidated gold fields of the Black Hills"
 The forced resignation of Cashier Quin- Ian from the Chemical National bank when the bank directors learned of the loans and the strong words which Presi- dent Williams used in speaking of Grable and his projects, brought deep gloom upon. the luxurious headquarters of the Grable company.
 There is similarity in the operations of the new company and the original Union Hill company, which was fioated in Phila- delphia and the east, ex-Gov. Patterson, of Pennsylvania, and Gen. B. F. Tracy, of New York, having large interests. The is- sue of stock was the same. the amount kept in the treasury was the same, and the money to be used in the development of the property was to be raised in the same way.
 Run at High Expense
 A corner suite of rooms was secured at the Great Northern, and a force of eight men was quartered at the hotel to boom the new enterprise The additional ex- penses in entertaining prospective invest ors ran to still higher figure. The names of several Chicago people were given as having subscribed to the stock, but they denied the statement when asked in re- gard to it.
 Mayor Harrison is the only man around the city hall who will confess to having invested in MT. Grables scheme. Every one else denies it. But if he did not find other customers in the building 1t was not for want of trying. For weeks every head of department has been flooded with the Grable prospectuses and advertise ments, telling how easily money was to be made through the Grable investment.
 No Criminal Action
 New York, Feb. 3.-President Williams, of the Chemical National bank, said today that nothing had been found to justify the band in beginning criminal action against MT. Quinlan. President Williams said MT. Silver called on him late yesterday after noon after the matter had become public and handed him $640oO worth of securities. MT. Williams today seemed doubtful of the value of the securities, but finally declared that they might after all prove to be worth more than he at first thought.

Not Ruiz,s Body

New York, Feb 3.-According to the Ha- vana correspondent of the World, the Spanish soldiers have not found the body of Lieutenant-Colonel Ruiz. When Aran- guren was killed, says the correspondent, the insurgents who were near the spot where Ruiz was buried opened the grave and left In 1t this note:
 Excuse us, but Ruiz's body is not at your disposal"
 The firemen had a great funeral process sion in memory of Ruiz. but some other body than his has been buried here, ayers the correspondent. The authorities say nothing was left of the body which had been burned. except a few fragments. The bones were charred, they report, and there were machete outs. Yet 1t was announced before that the body had been fully recog- nized.
 Continuing the correspondent says: Autonomy is langdshing, through Gen. eral Blanco's failure ito purchase important leaders Strife is reported between the radical and the conservative members of the autonomist cabinet and resgnadons are talked of."
