SHERMAN UNHERALDED.
Ohio Statesman Reaches Tacoma
Travelling Only With His Wife.

Tacoma, June 20.-Unheralded and ac-
companied by his wife only, ex-Secretary
of State John Sherman of Ohio arrived in
was seen on the hotel register that any
one knew of the illustrious visitors COM
ing. Seated in an easy chair in his par
lor last evening, the well known Ohioan
appeared strong and well. His generally
vigorous appearance indicates that he is
still sturdy and full of energy. Mr.. Sher-
man explained that his jaunt to the coast
was one of pleasure only; that after rest
of few days he intended to sail for Alas
time would be spent in enjoying freedom
from work.
Il am out of the harness. said the
Ohio diplomat, wholly free from official
cares and intent only upon enjoying my
outing.
Yes, large sums are necessary in time
of war he replied when questioned about
the forthcoming bond issue. Money must
be available when needed, and in suffi-
cient quantities"
This was as near as the visitor came
to making any comment upon the admin
istration policy.
Dewey won grand victory" said ex-
Secretary Sherman, when the Philippines
were spoken of. but it is unfortunate that
our position is such as now exists. Occu-
pancy, or, more properly, permanent ac-
QUESTION of these iSlandS-in fact of any
Spanish territory-is in conflict with the
ton. The declaration of war of itself in
dicated that we are not TO be looked upon
as waging war of conquest"
The senator incidentally mentioned the
Hawaiian islands, and made no secret of
his opposition to the whole scheme of an
nexation. Said he:
"A coaling station is needed in the Pa
cific. 1 appreciate this. but after pro-
viding this in the Hawaiian islands, we
have gone as far as we should go along
this course"

HARVARD MEN FIGHT.
Millionaires Routed in an ARRAY at
Boston.

Boston, June 20.-DetaiIs of a fight at
the chutes in this city have Just been
made public.
In the boat where the trouble origin
mated were these Harvard men: w. K.
Vanderbilt, jr., Van Rensselaer, King,
who has just come into the famous
King estate at Newport and some OF the
King millions; J. w. Farley, '99, son of
a wealthy Longwood man; Malcolm
Donald, '99, of Brookline, who played
tackle on the varsity eleven last year,
and R. Brewer, 1901, brother of Arthur
Young Brewer, although he made a
gallant fight, got the worst of it, for he
is now in the hospital nursing COM
pound fracture of the jaw. The doc
tors say it will be three months in knit
ting.
This is how the trouble occurred. The
Harvard men, who had the boat to
themselves, were having some fun tip
ping the boat over to one side to make
it swerve in the direction opposite to
that in which it was being steered. This
they did to their hearts delight on
On the third. just as the boat struck
the water, the hotheaded steersman
raised his oar and dealt a swinging
blow, striking Malcomb Donald upon
the jaw.
Although badly bruised Donald made
a Jump for the sailor and gave him an
sent him spinning into the water. Dur
ing the struggle the swift moving boat
was overturned, but not until it had
run alongside an anchored punt and
given young Vanderbilt a fortunate and
easy avenue of escape.
The chutes were crowded and by this
time thousands were watching the
aquatic contest, cheering like mad all
the while.
A yell went up when reinforcements
came to the aid of the bedraggled
steersman. Two of his fellows had come
to his rescue in a. second boat, ready to
spear and punch the Harvard men
with their spare poles.
1t was Brewer, who was making his
way toward shore, that they first spot
ted. Farley rushed to Brewers res
cue, but the fists of the boys were no
match for the quarterStaveS of the men.
Farley was soon hard hit and a moment
later Brewer received the blow that
broke his jaw and toppled him over in
the water unconscious.
Presently another yell went up and
a second boat load of reinforcementS
appeared on the scene. On the shore
near the scene of the fight was stand
ing T. A. Duley, who was formerly con-
nected with the '92 class. Unfortunate
ly for Mr.. Duley he bears a strong re-
semblance to young Brewer. More than
that, he was dressed in much the same
way. Brewer is slightly freclxled and
that is the only way that one can tell
the two men apart when they stand
side by side. The inoffensiVe Duley,
who had not been looking for trouble,
suddenly became the object of attack.
and was kicked, banged and hustled
about, finally being knocked into the
water.
Duley has brought suit for damages
and attached the chutes.

Westinghouse Company Has Equip

Philadelphia, June 20.-The recent 40

up these are the salient facts:
There are in round numbers 1000, 600

MESSENGER TRAPPED.
Patent Office Employe Stole Money
For Years.

Washington. June 2O.-Daniel U. Scott, a
colored messenger in the office of the
commissioner of patents, has been arrest
ed by Postoffice Inspectors Maxwell and
Owing upon a warrant sworn out before
United States Commissioner Mills charg-
ing him with robbing the mails. When
taken into custody Scott made a confess
sion of his crime, but stated that it was
but his second offenSe.
For more than a year complaints have
been received that money sent to the COM
missioner of patents not received.
These complaints have for the most part
been made to the postofhce department.
and until recently it was believed by the
officials that the thefts were committed
either by. railway mail clerks or employees
of the city postoffice. Many inventors
who have dealings with the commissioner
of patents send cash instead Of checks or
money orders in payment of fees and eX-
penses in taking out patents, and in hum
dreds of such instances the letters have
not been received and scores upon scores
of complaints have been filed.

ed a systematic system of stealing and
was detected with marked money

REGIMENT OF TALL MEN.
West Virginia Attemps to Recruit
Only Six-Footers.

Washington, June 20-From West Vir-
ginia there comes a somewhat novel call
for volunteers. A circular has been sent
out by Charles A. Whiteshot of Manning
ton, w. Va, in which recruits for a regi-
ment of infantry all of whose members
shall not be less than feet tall, are asked
for. According to the circular, recruits
for such a regiment are requested under
the presidents second call for volunteers.
1t is the idea of the organizer to have
every state in the Union send some of it's
able-bodied, 6-foot citizens recruits to
this regiment. There is. no limit, above
6 feet, placed on the height of any recruit.
According to the circular, each recruit
for the regiment must enlist for at least
two years, if the war does not end be-
fore that time. Recruits must not be
each must submit to the mental and phys
zeal examination to which applicants for
enlistment in the regular army are sub
jected. Each company is to be permit
ted to choose its own officers. When the
regiment is mustered in it will be offered
to the president for service in any part
of the world. Those who not willing
to render such service should not apply
for enlistment. The circular states that
the proposition of the organizer has been
submitted to the secretary of war, who
has approved it. Those desiring to en-
list in the regiment, who are sure they
are not less than feet and sound in
wind and limb, should communicate with
Mr.. WhiteShOt.

TRUSTEES Work Systematic Robbery
and Get Drunk.

New York. June 2O.-Three prisoners in
the county Jail at Newark. were ar
rested yesterday morning in the jail and
committed to the Jail for robbing the Jail
of a box of soap.
They were ''trusty'' prisoners and were
permitted to sleep in the loft of the stable
building, where the prison soap is dried.
Policemen Tanning and Bowers were
talking near the Jail shortly after mid
night when they were startled by a crash.
They found one of the prisoners standing
in the doorway on the second floor of the
stable. He denied having heard any noise
but the policemen found the fragments of
a box on the sidewalk, and a moment
later discovered two men with a box of
soap. They were James Devine and
Peter McDermott. The policemen ar
rested them and then called up Warden
Underhill, who went to the stable and
found three of the five TRUSTEES fully dress
ed and one of them quite drunk.
They were James Derrig, Jesse Lyon and
Michael Graham. all Short-term men COM
rnitted for disorderly conduct. They passed
out the soap to their friends, who were
expected to sell it and make returns in

SEELEYIS BROKE.
Dinner-Giver Pleads Poverty to Evade
Gambling Debt

New York, June 20.-As a defense to a
suit filed against him in the United States
court by Simon Goetschel of Paris, France,
to recover 5000 francs, Herbert B. Seeley
has put in an answer saying that the
money was lost by him while playing the
game of baccarat at Basic. Switzerland.
Seeley, who gave the famous Seeley din
ner at Sherry's on the night of Decem-
Der 20. 1896. pleads that the PLAINTIFFS suit
is based a gambling transaction and
is therefore Illegal.
In his complaint GoetscheI asserts that
he advanced him 5000 francs, lawful
money. The answer sets up that the
transaction Seeley had with the plaintiff
is Illegal under the laws of the republic
of Switzerland. The lawyers for the plain
tiff refused to accept this answer on the
ground that it was put in for the purpose
of delay, and that if his allegations were
true they should have been put in the
original answer.
Upon the application of Mr.. Seeley's
counsel Judge LaCombe in the United
States court signed an order directing the
plaintiff or his lawyers to appear before
him and show cause why he should not
be compelled to accept the answer.

INDIAN UPRISING.
New York Indians Chafe Under an
Election Law.

Albany, June 20.-The Indians of the
ST. Regis reservation, a spot near the
Canadian border in northern New York
are on the verge of going on the war
path. This redskin belligerency is di-
rected. against the state of New York,
and especially against Mr.. Platt's law
makers, who stirred up the Iroquois
blood by passing law last winter pro-
Viding that the chiefs shall be elected
by popular vote.
Riot is prevalent in the usually quiet
reservation, and the braves, whisky ia
den and injury bitten, are running wild,
armed with butcher knives and such
other weapons as treaties have left
them. II some remedy is not speedily
afforded, the Indians may work havoc
in Franklin, ST. Lawrence, Clinton and
Essex counties, the range of the In
dams.
Chief Joe Wood brought the word to
Albany of the uprising. He was an
angry man and spared no expletive in
his condemnation of the pa1eface
treachery and greed which had stirred
the wrath of his tribesmen. Their war
the news that a recently enacted law
had put an end to hereditary chieftan-
cy,' by providing. for the election, by vote
after the first Monday in June of each
year. The first election occurs next Mon
day, and the approach of this invasion of
Indian rights. has caused the trouble.
Chief Wood saw the attorney general
the treaty between the tribe and President
Madison, the. attorney general said the
law was plainly unconstitutional, mas
much as it violated the treaty rights
Attorney General Hancock advised Chief
Wood to permit the holding of the election
and afterward appeal to the courts. Chief
Wood acquiesced. saying he would surely
be. elected chief, but he declared emphatf-
caIIy that he could not assure the gov
eminent, that his hot-headed braves would
drop their butcher-knives and hatchets
without having any revenge for the fan
cied onslaught upon their rights. The
law disturbing the Indians is said by Chief
Wood to have been enacted because rail-
road magnateS wish to have another chief
so they may overcome his opposition to
proposed railroad through the St. Regis
reservation.

New York, June 20-Once more have
the Rawson twins of Bergen county,
New Jersey, attained questionable
fame. The Rawson twins have il
Illuminated the pages of the New York
papers in a manner that challenges the
admiration of all readers of dime novel

have been the standby of the country
youth from time 1mmemor1al they nave

New York, June 20.-Edna Wallace

Fifty-seventh street and Broadway
Miss Wallace's condition at times has
been so serious that her friends have
been very much alarmed. However,
she is reported as being on the road to
recovery, though still so weak that she
could not move.
The cold which she contracted during
the winter proved stubborn enough to
resist homely remedies, and three weeks
ago developed hemorrhages of the nose.
A physician stopped them only tempor-
arily.
Since then there has been no return
of the trouble. 1t is probable that Miss
Wallace will be forced to take a long
rest.
