Pr.s,d. initial lrre.. in washington.

President Mckinley some time ago
planted a red oak tree in the white
house grounds. just north Of the west
wing Of the mansion. The white house
gardener had prepared the hole for the
young sapling. and had properly ar
ranged h soil. The president APP
preached the spot, examined the young
sapling with the air of IN experienced
woodsman, planted 1t In the hole.
spreading the roots so they would grow
properly. Then, asking the gardener
to hold the tree. he proceeded to fll
In around the roots with dirt. making a
good job of the planting. There was
no ceremony OF any kind connected
with the planting. although quite n
crowd collected to watch the president
OF the United States shovel dirt into a
hole. Mrs. Mckinley surveyed the
operations from a window in the white
house.
The custom of presidents planting
trees Is an old one. and was inaugural
ed by Washington himself. Most Of
his successors have followed his ex-
ample. but during the two terms hat
MIR. Cleveland occupied the white house
there Is no record of any trees having
been planted by the executive hand.
When the building OF the capitol was
begun President George Washington
planted the first presidential tree. 1t
was a young sapling that grew into n
magnificent specimen of the American
elm. II stands In the north side of the
east park of the capitol. facing the SEN
ate wing. 1t Ii said that he planted
another near by. which had to be cut
down when the park was remodeled in
1878. Superintendent Smith Of the bo-
tanic gardens was loath to see this
noble elm perish, so he secured a num-
Der of cuttings from the tree, planted
them In the gardens. and has a fine
specimen now growing there. besides a
number which were given away and
which are growing In private grounds
in various parts of the country. One
is fiourishing at the home OF Proctor
Knott in Kentucky. and another is in
the family of the late John w. Forney
OF Philadelphia.

Teamsters Are Pre-Empting a Very Handy
shortcut.
Every man who lives north of Fourth
street west of Hickory street has
a kick coming. They have a kick COM
ing because h teamsters who are
hauling the dirt from the excavations
for the new buildings on Park avenue
have destroyed their favorite shortcut.
The cutoff path that leads from Main
street across the vacant lot to the cor
ner of Hickory and Fourth streets has
been used by people ever since Ana
conda became a city, and the thou
sands that ave Travelled this trail have
patted 1t down until II is as hard as
stone. But hereafter the people will
ave to go round by the sidewalk. IL
some hardy pioneer does not begin the
formation of another trail over the
heaps n heaps of dirt and rocks that
the teamsters are dumping in there.
Those who a used the path for
years. while they recognize that Ana
conda is getting to be a city. and that
the short cut will soon be a thing Of
the past, yet feel a sort Of affection
for the old path and they are loath to
forsake it for the unyielding planks Of
the sidewalk.

THEY ARE LOCKED UP.
The Five Remaining Plans for he Court
House In the yault.


House In the Vault.
The plans for the new Deer Lodge
county court house which have been on
exhibition in the council chamber of
the city hall, were taken from the walls
saturday and placed in the vault of
the county clerk and recorder. In this
pace the designs will remain until next
tuesday. when the board of county
commissioners will again be in session
and consider further the valuable
points of the various designs. II is
probable that the commissioners will
come to a decision as to which Of the
nve remaining plans they will select
by Wednesday evening, although IL is
possible that a disagreement may arise
between the members Of the board.
Yesterday the room in which the
plans were displayed was again visited
by a large number of people who like
to look at nice buildings. The four
plans that were rejected on the pre-
vious evening still have their admirers
and goodly crowds gather in front of
the windows where they are displayed,
and many expressions of admiration
are heard with reference to the beauty
of the plans. Those architects whose

THE RECTOR FLED.

Detroit, Mich. Aug. 19.-Rev. Ralph H. Baldwin, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church ct Saginaw, hus- band of Millionaire Crittendens daughter of New York. ex-private sec retary of Bishop Potter of New York. md slated by Bishop Davies of Mich igan for the archbishopric of Sagi- naw, is missing. His wife had an in come of $500 a month in her own right, and Baldwin lived high.
 Five months ago Baldwin began to make frequent trips from Saginaw, returning to his home only on Sun days. Yesterday Mrs. Baldwin's fath- CT finished paying off the bills of the family, and moved the household goods, as he said his daughter was go- ing on a foreign tour, and that she would be joined in New York by her husband, who was sick in Canada with pleurisy. This is the story that came from Saginaw.
 Today in this city Alice Reyes ad- mitted that she had lived as wife with Baldwin at No. COG Second avenue, in a select neighborhood, and that he went away night before last, and had told her he would never return. She said the police had made her life miserable by watching her. The neighbors knew Baldwin and the Reyes woman as a very respectable couple, and thought him to be re- tired business man.

SALT WATER GOLD.
Two Cones of Bullion at inc Assay
 Office in New York.

New York, Aug. 13.-The assay of flee has received by the New York and Boston Express company, the re- corded depositer, two coles of bullion, some particles of which appear to be rich gold, and an ingot of silver, with the Philadelphia mint stamp on it
 The express company's principal is the Electrolytic Marine Salt company of Boston, or what is left of it, and the metal came from Lubec, Me. But for the recent developments that came of President and the Rev. P. F. Jerne- gan's trip to Europe with bundles of United States bonds, the bullion would be regarded as the outcome of his secret process" for extracting "the precious metals out of sea water, all though chemists say that the value of the gold in ton of sea water is onlY4 cents.
 The bullion that will be assayed weighs about 680 ounces, and if the results are the same as in the other sixteen consignments from Lubec, which netter nearly $23,0O0, it's value is about $1,000 The minting of silver was, no doubt, sent to the Marine Salts company in lieu of a check for it's value. The assay office officials infer that no more marine salts bullion will be received and that the present batch was sent to be converted into money for the benefit of stockholders.

NEW DREDCE COMING.
The Arizona Canal 10 be Broadened
 and DeeoeEed This fafi.

Receiver c. J. Hall cf the Arizona
 Canal company yesterday reeeived letter from MT. " W. Miller of New
 York, of counsel for the bondholders'
 con. mittee, saying that ine committee
 had made arrangements with the
 Bhcyrus company of Milwaukee for the construction of firs,-class dredge
 which shall be finished and ready
 for shipment very soon. It is ex-
 pected tilat the dredge will reach PhcenfN and be ready for the improve ment of the Arizona canal early this fall The primary improvement will
 be the taking out of the headgate, all the masonry, etc., and the broadening and enlarging of the same and the dec epening of the waste gate in order to make the canal self cleaning. Some very quick work will have to be done
 in making these repairs. With the
 new dredge on the ground and the old dredge, if necessary, to supply steam
 power for drilling, and all the ma terial there necessary for the recon strUction of the gate, it will be pos sible to rip out the old headgate and entirely complete the new one within one week. As soon as the new gate 1 is put in the new dredge will be put | to work broadening and deepening the
 main canal in order that more water
 may be carried during times of flood | in the river. A first-class engineer
 will be employed to supervise the work. With the completion of this Improvement water users under the Arizona system will find their condi- tion materially improved.

 At the union station several thou sand persons gathered, and when Ad niral Cervera came out of the dining ~oom, hundreds rushed at him Ike 'oot ball players. They seized his hand and shouted and cheered until the rotunda echoed. All through the ordeal he smiled pleasantly and bowed, tipping his hat to the throng With great difficulty he reached his train.

Conjectures Divided Among Half Dozen Foremost Republicans, the Most Likely of Whom Is Believed to Be the American Ambas-
 sadOr at the Court
 of St. James.

Washington, Aug. 13.- Speculation is rife as to who will compose the com mission on the part of the United States to sit with commission from Spain to settle certain questions be- fore a treaty of peace can be signed. Nearly every man of prominence, qualified for the work, has been men tioned, but it is absolutely certain that the president has no idea whom he will select. He is never prema- ture and because developments have 7-1not reached that stage, has given no serious consideration to the question of commissioners. When that part of the programme is reached he will quickly decide the number of com missioners and will select the men. it. is generally supposed that there will be either three or five commis- siOners, probably the latter number.
 Among the names so far mentioned are Secretary Day, Senators Allison, German and Davis, ex-Secretary Ol- ney, ex-Lresident Harrison, ex-Sen- ator Edmunds, Ambassador Porter, Justices Harlan and Brewer, MT. Cou- dert of, New York, and Adjutant-G Gen .eral Corbin.
 It is agreed by all those who are engaged in trying to name the commis- sioners that Secretary Day will be in the list. He has followed every step of the Spanish American troubles from the beginning, and President McKin- ley would not be satisfied without his going on the commission.
 It is now said that Secretary Day will resign and return to his law practice at Canton when all the work 0f the war is wound up. This is an old story. At the time of his accept tance of the state portfolio it was stated that he would probably not re- main long in the position, having ac- cepted it at the request of the presi- lent Men who have long been close to Judge Day know that he prefers his profession to politics.
 No official statement as to the sec retary's purposes is now obtainable, and Secretary Day himself declines to make any statement on the subject, so tt cannot be ascertained positively whether the period of time which he had in mind as the length of his ser
Arizona republican., 1898-08-14

vice when he assumed office has ex- pired.
 While no official acknowledgement can be had that Secretary Day is to retire from the state department, it is a safe assumption that this is the cas2~ His retirement will probably be foi- lowed by an appointment to the peace commission. if the reply of Spain leads to the appointment of that com mission at once, and MT. Days career as member of the administration will then close with the re-establish- ment of peace.
 Gossip as to the successor of MT. Day as secretary of state is vague and in definite at this time Ambassador Hay is said to have been practically determined upon. The name of Rep resentative Hit, whose fitness for the place it is known, the president would recognize, is being mentioned, but it is very doubtful whether Mir. Hitt's health is such as to admit of his ae- ceptance. Several of the republican members of the senate committee on foreign relations, including the chair man, Senator Davis and SenatOrx Lodge, are spoken of, but the difa1 culty of making 6 selection of thisS sort lies in the fact that u is improb- able that any one of these senators would be willing to give up his seat in the senate for short term in the cabinet
 When the cabinet was first formed the senate was pretty well canvassed and it was made apparent then that senators whose names would naturally be suggested did not desire cabinet positions.
 Among other suggestions is that of the promotion of Assistant Secretary of State Moore There may be po- litical reasons for not making this promotion.
 The position of the secretary of state is regarded as the leading posi- tion Of the cabinet, and an appoint ment to that place would be regarded IS a promotion by other members Of
 he cabinet. It is not improbable therefore that some one ROW in the cabinet may be selected 10 succeed MT. Day, and Postmaster-Ge Smith is mentioned in this connection.
