AFTER FRANCE.
Secretary Day Will Demand an
Indemnity
Of $5,OOO,OOO Fer Persecu-
tiOn of DR.. Herr.

London. June 2-Documents proving
the American citizenship of DR.. Cor
nelius Herr, who was prominently con-
nected with Panama canal matters, are
now on their way to Washington.
1t is said that Secretary Day has in
formed DIR. Herr that if he can show
he has done all possible without avail
through his lawyers. to obtain cOmpen-
sation from France, for his seeming
persecution, the United States will take
up his case. Consequently the sworn
proofs of his American citizenship are
now on their way to the United States.
1t was announced in January, 1897, that
counsel for DR.. Herr presented at
Washington a claim for indemnity in
the sum of S., ,0OO coo against the French
government forthe alleged illegal at
tempt to prosecute DR.. Herr.
DR.. Herr, whose name stands very
high in scientific circles as an electric
ian and physicist, although born in
France OF French parents, was educa-
ted in New York and at the age of 16
years served in the United States army.
He married an American woman and
when his children were born in Paris,
he caused them to be registered as
American citizens at the consulate.
On January TO- 1893 while stopping at
he was arrested under eXtradition pro-
ceedings on a warrant from the French
government charging him with fraud
and embezz1ement, growing out of the
Panama canal scandal. Under the law,
a prisoner wanted for eXtradition must
appear at the Bow street police court.
DR.. Herr was confined to his bed by
illness, and so was unable to appear.
The case was kept open and he was
continued under arrest in his bed for
four years. Then the British parlia-
ment came to his relief and passed a
special act that permitted the magiS-
trate to attend Herz'S bedside and take
his testimony. This was done and the
magistrate promptly declared that the
charges were invalid and scarcely de-
serving of notice.
Herr was thereupOn released from
arrest. Meanwhile the French govern
ment had instituted numerous proceed
ings against him in France and cOnfis-
Gated all his property and that of his
wife. DR.. Herr alleges that this was
persecution pure and simple and that
the French government knew even be-
fore his trial that the charges against
him We're baSeless. Therefore claiming co
have been injured in name and health
and in other ways he demanded that
the state department should prefer d
claim against the government of
France. Although he mentioned no sum,
the brief showed that he demanded the
sum of 5000, 600 in a letter he sent to
the president of the French republic
which was never answered.

REED GIVES IN.
Consents to Let the House Vote on
Hawaiian Annexation.

Washington, June Am understand
ing has been reached whereby the
Hawaiian resolutions will be considered
in the house next week. They are to be
taken up under a special rule that will
be reported as soon as the revenue
bill has passed the senate or has reach
ed a point where the passage of the
resolutions Of annexation in the house
can not possibly delay the disposal of
the revenue measure.
The understanding was arrived at af-
ter persistent endeavor upon the part
of annexationists. The speaker who has
led so far in preventing consideration,
has become convinced that large ma
jority of the Republican representa-
tives favored action upon annexation
before adjournment. This fact, the de-
sire of the president and the wish of a
majority of Republican senators, max
ing a party demand, resulted in an
agreement that the house should be
given the opportunity to pass the reso-
luton.
There will be no caucus of Republi-
cans. A request for a call has been
several days with Representative Gros-
Venor chairman of the Republican
party organization in the house, but
when seen he said:
You can say for me, and can quote
me, that there will be no caucus called
and no necessity for one"

been crushed by superior force and

Santiago is forecast as the crisis of the
war.
Senators and others who feel that the
end is a matter of only a few days or
weeks are impOrtuning the president to
hasten the departure of an expedition
to Porto Rico, arguing that the United
assert ownership. The argument is
met by the answer that whether Porto
Rico is occupied or not before Spain
sues for peace, this government can

and unable to pay any money.
In the midst of the preparations of

called upon to consider the terms upon
which peace shall be restored. So
approaching the end of her resistance
that the basis of settlement is a subject
of discussion. A proposition of which
the people of the United States may
hear a great deal in a few weeks is as
follows:
1. Spain to evacuate Cuba and the
United States to maintain authority
and order on the island until an inde
pendent government can be establish
ed.
2 The United States to take Porto
Rico as indemnity for the war, the cost
of which will be approximately $780,

to free Spain from the responsibility

Mr.. Riddle looked startled. 'Is that

unfolded the fusion arrangement from
a Democratic standpoint like a book
agent does his samples. He told Mr..
Riddle that this year the Democrats
will allow the PopulistS to come to
them but that they will not go to the
PopuIists. The Populist convention is
to be allowed to appoint a conference
committee which is to go to AtchiSOn
and make the deal while the Demo-
Gratis are to remain at their post cloth
ed with the proper amount of Demo-
cratic dignity, consistent with their
surroundings at AtchiSOn.
If the committee should not be kind
to the Democrats the convention will
do as it pleases, at least that is what
Mr.. Sapp says.
Mr.. Sapp said that he had not made
up his mind what places will be de-
manded. 1t is conceded that the DEM
ocrats shall have the lieutenant COVER
nor.
Mr.. Sapp was rather reticent when in
the presence of reporters. In reply to
a question as to what the Democrats
expect he said: This year we will ask
for a streak of fat and a streak of lean.
That is all. We are going to have a
convention at AtchisOn and We will do
the right thing. The Democratic con-
vention in my county instructed for
Leedy but the Populists did not and I
suppose from that, that Governor
Leedy is pretty sure of the nornina-
ton"
Chairman Riddle of the PopuIist state
central committee did not seem worried
when he was seen today. He said:
The Democrats ought to be satisfied
with simply recognition the ticket.
In arranging this matter it must be
considered how the voters can best be
held in line.
My opinion is that the Democrats
will not cast one vote more if they are
given half the ticket than if they simp-
ly had recognition. On the other hand
if the Populists gave half the ticket to
the Democrats we would lose many
Populist votes. I do not believe that
there are many Populists who would
vote with the Republicans but they Will
simply stay at home and not vote at
all. The Populists are more numerous
than the Democrats and the first thing
to be considered is how we can poll the
largest Populist vote
Mr.. Sapp wanted to see Governor
Leedy but he was not in Topeka and
he had to be content with his rather
unsatisfactory interview with Mr.. Rid
