true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALL
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession. and the satisfaction

The Laocoon's of the Republi-
can Serpent. A Deserved Fate.

The republican convention met
and adjourned, having nominated
the entire ticket, including cor
oner, by reclamation, except the
Legislative ticket, and three men
were grabbing for this "dead sea
fruit"
J. P. Sharp and r. B. Wilson
were nominated representatives,
backed by Dickson's graft, making
Stowell, Frost, Gray and Stulfauth
use their faces for three foot tape
measure. Graves, thinking his
DESIRE" nominated Sharp, and
Mires of "Swing Low Sweet Char.
lot" fame, and of late painful po-
litical resurrection, especially to
Stowell, ct al, nominated r. B.
Wilson.
Kaufman nominated Gray in a
few we'll chosen words, ending in a
hopeless whisper. The result is
known. The whole slate was put
up and carried as slick and smooth
as soap, by the Dickson faction.
Graves moved around among the
delegates and out among the crowd
with slow and measured tread,
calling attention to the fact, in a
grandiloquent smile peculiar to
him that "Old Man Harmony
was with the convention, when
every one knew that the "gang'
was getting in it's deadly work.
However, the ticket nominated
by the convention goes down to de-
feat this fall with two fold bur-
den; disgraceful politics and hui
initiation of ignominious defeat
The ticket nominated is as follows;
Representatives, R. B. Wilson, J.
P. Sharp; Sheriff, Isaac Brown
Auditor, L. V. Wells; Clerk, Harry
Hale; School Supt., G. H. Human;

the boat, as Gen. Wood needs all of the

The Cubans here are favorably inclined
toward the Americans and are expecting
an order from the Santa Cruz assembly

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 5.-The attempt
tobal Colon has been abandoned by order
of Capt. Chester, of the cruiser Cincin-
natl, and no effort will be made to raise
the Vizcaya If Capt. Chester's recommen-
dation to the Navy Department is act
ed upon. Capt. Chester returned from
an inspection trip to the wrecks of the
Vizcaya and Christobal Colon today on
correspondent this afternoon that he had
ordered the wrecking company's employees
at work on the Colon away yesterday.
He said that after he had inspected
the Colon carefully and noted her diff
cult position and the steep, sioping sea
bottom, he had concluded that the cost
of raising her, with nine chances to one
in favor of failure, was too great to JUS
tify the attempt Even if they were sue
cessful in floating her, Capt. Chester said,
he doubted whether she could be fitted
for service at a figure under that of the
cost of a new and better boat.
He thought the possibility of raising
the Vizcaya even more remote. The
Vizcaya is eaten by rust and maritime
decay, and is in bad shape. The only
thing the American navy will have to re-
member the Vizcaya and the Colon by
are their guns. Even those not taken off
by Lieut.. Hobson can be saved and used
ON American ships. The guns are of good
quality as to metal and are in better con-
dition than anything else connected with
the sunken Spanish ships.

Gen. Gilmore, the personal and staff ad-

afternoon that the papers in the Carter

cate general was ready to refer the case
in the latter part of June. Gen Miles was
in the city continuously during that period
and remained here until July Z, when he
went to Santiago. He has had no oppor-

CHARLES BAUM SUED.
Assiisnees Proceed Against AssiSnor
To Decide Complicated Qnesfinus


Proceedings Were begun in Equity
Court yesterday by Myer Cohen and
Henry strasburger, assisnees of Charles
Baum. for the purpose Of having the
court determine the extent of their power
in settling the business of the house.
According to the declaration of the as
signees there are several questions of law
involved. which require a ruling of the
Court of Appeals.
The other matters on which the as
sisnees ask for instructions may be de-
cided BY the Equity Court. The matter
on which 1t is thought it will be necessary
to obtain ruling of the Court of APP
peals before the assignees can proceed
with the settlement of the business is in
relation to 500 worth of stock and hx-
lures reserved by the assignor
In case recently tried in the equity
branch of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, it was held by the justice who pre-
sided at the trial that the exemption pro
vided for by law referred to household
ers, but was not sufficiently broad in its
meaning to include merchants. In the
circumstances OF the assignment Of
Baum on November :. it is stated thar
there is $3.50 due for rent on the prem
ises AT No. il6 Seventh Street, the build
ing occupied by Charles Baum, and that
to dispose OF the stock to advantage 1t
is necessary that this amount should be
paid Immediately.
On one of the pieces of realty assisn ned.
lot :. in square No. !5I, it is stated that
there is also $500 due, and that the taxes
on all the property of the assignor are
due and payable during the present
month. and also that it is necessary that
the rents and profits on the realty OF the
assignor be collected
Another cause which makes it difficult
for the assignees to proceed with 4 ST.
tlement of affairs is i provision OF the
deed of assignment in relation to the
household furniture of the assisnor. Th-
deed or assignment. it is stated. includes
the household effects OF Charles Baum
among the assets, but 1t is learned that
part of it is claimed by his wife as Ler

VIII Not Re Sent to the Penjtentinry
Strong Political Influence
Brought to Benr Upon Mr.. Mcl<fn-
Iey-The Delinquent Probably to
BE Cnshiercd and Fined 5000.

President Mckinley may take final ac-
tion in the case of Capt. o. NJ Carter,
who was court-martialed for misappro-
priating about sl,G00n00 of Government
money. before he leaves for Canton to
cast his vote. This statement was made
yesterday by a Cabinet officer The case
has attracted much attention because of
the great political influence which has
been eXerted TO save Capt Carter from
imprisonment.
The usual method of procedure in court
martials has been disregarded. and al
though the case has been ready. for the
approval or disapproval of the President
since July. the influential friends of the
accused have been able to delay matters
until the present time. The case has been
the cause of several flying visits from
Senator Plat, of New York, who has dis
played an unusual amount of interest In
the findings of the court-martial.
Among those who are mentioned as be-
ing most interested In the decision of the
President in the case are Senator Sewell,
of New Jersey; President Frank Thomp-
son, of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Sena-
tor Elkins, of West Virginia. and Presi-
dent Wescott, of the Wescott Express
Company, of New York, who is Capt. Car
ter's father-in-law.
The sentence imposed by the eourt-mar-
tial is regarded even among army officers
as one of unusual severity. 1t provided
for five years Imprisonment, fine of s5,-
600, dismissal from the army, and that the
sentence of Capt. Carter be published
thrice week for an Indefinite time In the
newspapers of his home town. According
to the best information obtainable the
President will commute the sentence to
dismissal from the army and the fine of
s5,ooo He has not fully decided upon this
course, but stated to a Cabinet officer
yesterday that this would probably be
his action Wayne Macveagh, formerly
Attorney General, but now one of Capt.
Carriers counsel. has been in the city for
the past week. and has been holding daily
consultations with the President. Duane
Fox, local attorney, is also interested in
the case, but has devoted himself mainly
to the preparation of briefs.

A committee of colored men, consisting

Clarke, Thomas Ware and c.. l.. Marshall,
called at the White House yesterday and
handed the President an appeal adopted
at mass-meeting held recently under
the auspices of the lyceum of the Second
Baptist Church, this city.
The paper referred to the situation in
North Carolina and requested Mr.. Nc
Kinley to Exercise his good offices TO
preserve the peace and maintain consti-
tutional government in all portions of our
common country.
The situation in North Carolina is de-
scribed as "a reign of terror which
was inaugurated in 1873, ito wrest from
the legitimate electors the State gov
ernments in certain sections of the coun-
try and to nullify the recent amendment
to the Constitution by resorting to mob
violence in order to deprive citizens of
their right to vote and hold Office
