AS TO SECRETARY SHERMAN

He Will Not Retire From Cabinet I'm
mediately, But His Retirement Elk
pected Early.
Washington, u. c., April 24.-Whilc
there is every reason to believe that
Secretary Sherman contemplates a re-
tirement from the Cabinet at no very
distant date, the indications now are
that the change will not take place inn
mediately. He declined to discuss the
question to-day.
There is no doubt, however. that the
President considers the Secretary's re-
tirement among the probabilities. He
discussed the contingency with some
of his callers today and it is understood
that Senator Davis was asked whether
i'll case there should be vacancy i'm
the Secretaryship of State he would
favOrabIy consider an invitation to fill
it and that he replied in the negative, as
he prefers to remain i'll the Senate.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
The Report of the Battle Said to Have
Occurred Last Friday.

Jacksonville, Fla, April PA special
to the Times Union and Citizen from
Palm Beach, Fla, says
1t is believed here by every one that
the report of the battle off Boynton Fri
day is without much foundation. Scy'
eral responsible citizens from that sec
ton were here to-day and said they saw
the ships going south but did not hear
the report of a single gun.
The only explanation for this report
is that n number of workmen were en-
gagged unloading lumber from Il wrecked
brigatine on BoyntOn Beach, and that
vessel made direct for the wreck, sup.
posedly to make an examination. when
the workmen became frightened and
went ashore.

BY ELECTRICITY.
Great Iron Works at Pittsburg are to
Be Operated.

Pfttsburg, Pa, Sept. 1O.-Arrange-

ficials of the Pennsylvania Tube Works
company for the installation of a COM
p1ete electric plant in it's great works
on Second avenue to cost $1,000 and
the operation of the entire plant by
electricity. This will be the first large
iron mill in the United States to adopt
electricity for power and it is believed
that the prejudice that has existed
among iron manufacturers for some
time will be quickly broken through by
other large plants.
1t is the intention of the tube cOmpa-
ny to erect one central power plant of
about l, 600 horse power and distribute
the electricity to about twenty-five mo-
tors. of forty horse power each, that will
be placed near the various machines.

the company, who has been conducting
the arrangements for the revolutionary
change, his estimate that a saving will
be made in fuel of fully 25 per cent.

Josephine LIE Clus Has Filed Her Pc
tition in the Ottawa Court.

Ottawa. Sept. 1O.-The intervening
petition of Marie Josephine LIE Clus in
the famous De Boissiere case was filed
today in the district court. This wo-
man claims that she is the rightful
heir of De Boissiere, the eccentric
Frenchman who died leaving an estate
valued a. 500, 900, to the Odd Fellows for
a home Since then TrOutman &
Stone acting for Madame Martenelli,
sister of De Boissiere, brought suit to
break the deed on the ground that the
Frenchman was of unsound mind.
Now a new element has been injected
into the case by the fling of this inter
vening petition. The woman who claims
the property now lives in Charlotte, n.
c., where she is a waiter in a hotel.
She claims that she was born in Law
renee at the home of Mrs. F'eil,a French
midwife, in 1875. She never knew her
mother but was sent to New York
where she was placed in the family of
A German, a French hotel keeper.
When she was 9 years old she was
sent to a convent and it is claimed that
De BOissiere paid the expenses of her
schooling. She accompanied the Ger
main family to Texas five years ago
and then for the first time learned of
her origin She was then known as
Marie Josephine De Boissiere German.
