No Word at the Department
 From the Investigation
EVEN RUAORS GROW SCARCE
The Court of Inquiry will Leave

A Report Reaches the Washington Evening Star that the Maine was Blown up by Torpedo Or Sub marine Mine

Washington, Feb. 24.-Rumors of startling discoveries in the wreck of the Maine were less frequent, but there were enough of them still after today to warrant Secretary Long in making this statement to newspaper men: Summing up the situation I should say that the navy department knows today no more about the cause of the disaster than it did five minutes after the receipt of the first dispatch from Captain Sigsbee."
 Until the conclusion of the investi- gation of the court of inquiry at Ha- vana the principal business of the navy department in connection with the Maine will relate to the conduct Of the wrecking operations. Captain Lemley, judge advocate general, who has this branch of work immediately in charge, today received telegrams from the Merritt & Chapman Wreck ing company at New York stating that the steamer Merritt and wrecking lighter Sharpe had sailed for Havana and that the tug Underwater, with the Chief would leave New York on Sat urday for the same place.
 The only exact information received by the navy department from Havana during the day was conveyed in Cap tain Sigsbee's telegram, as follows:
 Havana, Feb. "A.
 Long, Secretary of Navy: The wrecking tug Right Arm arrived yes terday and begins work today. Much encumbering metal must be blasted away in detail. The navy divers have been down aft seven days, for ward four days. The bodies of Mer- ritt and Jenkins have not been found. Two unidentified bodies of the crew were found yesterday. The aft apartment is filled with detached, broken and buoyant furniture and fit tings, mud and confusion. The Span ish authorities continue offers of as sistance and care for the wounded and dead. Everything that goes from the wreck to the United States should be disinfected. The wrecking company should provide for this.
 "The surgeon of the Maine after consulting with others recommended that all bedding and clothing be aban- doned. Useless fittings and equip ments might be lowed to sea and sunk Will take all immediate responsibility, but will abide by the departments in- structions. The friends of the dead should understand that we are in the tropics. Captain Chadwick is charged with all matters relating to the dead His conduct is beyond praise. I don't know what reports are being printed, but intelligent and active representa- tives of the press have been very con- siderate of me and my position,
 (Signed) "SIGSBEE"
 Secretary Long immediately an swered Captain Sigsbee, approving all his recommendations.

ORDERED TO FIGHT.
Royal Niger Company Will Protect Its
 Territory.

London, Feb. 24.-It is asserted on good authority that the Royal Niger company has been instructed, after trying all peaceable means, to compel the retirement of the French from British territory by force. The sul- tante of Sokoto is feudatory of the company and was recently placed un der British protection.
 The situation is regarded as extreme ly grave.
 The Daily Mail says it has received confirmation of the news from Sokoto.
 The Times, commenting editorially, says it cannot credit the report, and reproved the levity of the French press regarding grave situation. The presence of French force at Argungu, the Times declares, would be so flag rant a breach of any possible construc- tion of the Bay-Burua agreement of 1890 (Anglo-French treaty at Busah) that nothing but it's immediate with drawal could avert the most deplor- able consequences"
 Other papers publish similar ar ticles, urging Lord Salisbury to inti- mate plainly that Great Britain's limit of "squeezability" has been reached.
 The Morning Post says:
 'If France is really making delib- crate plans to annex British territory by military occupation, this can only imply that she desires war with Eng land. In that case, her wish will be doubtless gratifed."

PASSENGER CAR BURNED UP.
Midland Suffered a Loss of $2,000 in
 Leadville.

Leadville, Colo, Feb. 24.-Late this afternoon fire was discovered in one of the big passenger coaches lying in the Colorado Midland yard. The car burned like paper, the woodwork be- ing entirely destroyed. A combination mail and baggage coach which was att tached to the passenger car was also damaged before it could be uncoupled. All that remains are the trucks of the passenger coach. The supposition is that some one accidentally dropped a match or a lighted cigar in seat. The loss is estimated unofficially at about s2,0OO for the passenger coach and few hundred dollars damage on the baggage car.

Pardoned Murderer Is Again Consid-

Leadville, Colo, Feb. 24.-Samuel Bakewell was placed in jail today on charge of drunkenness. It is all legged that he made several threats against the officers.

He was arrested, convicted and sentenced for life, but some time ago was the subject of ex- ecutive clemency. He has been in the city for some time under an as sumed name. Knowing his past rec ord, the city marshal arrested him and placed him in jail.

No Doubt is Said to be Enter
 taiued of His Confirmation
THE OPPOSITION IS BITTER
But is not Regarded as Strong
 Enough to be Serious
The Capitol Bill Passed the Senate With Very Little Opposition. 1t Is Announced that the President Will Eign 1t.

Washington, Feb. 24.-(Special.)- The enemies of Chief Justice Webster Street of Arizona are very active and are making a bitter fight to prevent his confirmation, but it may be stated that they cannot succeed and he will undoubtedly be confirmed. A favor able report upon his nomination had been practically agreed upon when ad- ditional charges were lodged against him. A subcommittee of the judi ciary committee has been appointed to investigate these, which it is said by disproved. A great many inquiries regarding the status of the case are received here from Arizona and from his friends elsewhere who seem to be unnecessarily alarmed. Those who have watched the course of events here do not believe the opposition to him is serious enough to require his presence, as was suggested soon after the new charges had been placed on file
 THE CAPITOL BILL PASSES.
 Washington, Feb. 24.-(SpeciaL)- )- The bill ratifying the act of the terri torial legislature for the issuing of $100,00O bonds for the building of a capitol at Phoenix, Ariz., passed the senate today with very little opposi- tion. The bill passed the house two weeks ago. The president will sign it.
 A short telegram was received in this city yesterday afternoon announc- ing the passage of the bill. Specula- tions were at once made as to how soon the work would be begun and from what could be learned there will be no unavoidable delay. There will certainly be none at all on account of inability to dispose of bonds. A gen tleman connected with a financial in stitution said yesterday that an ap- plication for them had already been received from eastern capitalists.

FOURTH DISTRICT.
Mr.. Boute||e's Majority Is Safe---Fig.
ures Not Yet ObtainabIe.

Bangor, Me. Sept. 12.-The 4th Con-
gressional district is able to present but
meagre returns on Mondays election
at midnight Congressman Boutelle is
unable to indicate even his probable
majority. In 80 towns of the district
in Aroostook, Washington and Penob-
scot counties, the Governor vote gives
Powers. Rep, 1895: Lord. Dem, 1886.
Piscataquis county is hardly heard
from.
In nearly every town in the district
Mr.. Boutelle has run ahead of the Gov
ernor vote-notably in the Governors
own town. Houlton. However. it is
safe to say that in spite of the political
inaction of the day. the Boutelle vote
is thrice that of the Democratic party
in the district. In the Lincoln election
district Penobscot county, Boutelle re-
ceived very large number OF Demo-
cratic votes.
In general, the vote in the 4th dis
trict shows Republican loss Of about
30 to IS per cent. with a less heavy
falling off of the Democratic strength.
In 1896 the district threw 21,000 votes
for Governor.
