LecOmes Guest of District at Hotel
the Branch.


Dick Bowen, d freight Jumper who
says he once had a home in the far north
west, but prefers a mlder climate in win.
ter, reached Washington last night Dick
spent some time last winter as the guest
OF the city, and while he did not specially
enjoy the fare at the District hotel he
thought it much better than remaining out
in the cold world and depending upon char
ity.
Last year he came in between two freight
cars and did not leave the train until the
depot was reached. This time, for pru-
dental reasons, he left the train near Ivy
City, but with no better result, for Major
Sylvester's mounted guardians were on
hand to receive him, and he was driven to
the city.

cinct squad, handing him over a piece big
enough to last him several days.

He finally used his coat for a pillow and
was sound asleep soon after the officers
left him.
When morning came and Dick learned
OF the presence of yellow fever in Missis-
slppi and smallpox in the old dominion he
was satisfied TO remain here the guest
of the city. At the Police Court he de-

his fame as a playwright when he con-

Mr.. Carleton cannot complain of any lack
of ability in the company producing his
play. for they make the best of the little
he has given them to work with. 1t seems
utterly impossible that this Cuckoo bird
could come from the pen that gave 20 the
theatrical world such successes as those
above mentioned. and which were factors in
assisting Nat Goodwin and John Drew to
the ;on notch of their profession. The
Cuckoo has not redeemnC feature

over-worked mother-in-law. Coming after

The Cuckoo deals with lot of peopia
who have been married lots of times and
who get into lots of trouble when they
meet. This trouble is supposed to be com
ical: bus it isn't. The people have no ex-
cuse for meeting, and when they are

This is where the cuckoo comes in. When
a third or fourth husband or wife comes

SIR rATToN AND LADY SYKES.
Verdict in Their Favor in the Suit
Brought by Daniel Jay.

LONDON. Jan. ia verdict IN Ia
vor of Sir Tatton and Lady Sykes was
rendered in the suit brought by Daniel
Jaw. money lender, to recover the
sum Of f15.S70 loaned to the defendant
on prornissory notes signed apparently
bv her husband. Sir Tatton Sykes, but
which the latter repudiated on the
ground that the signatures were forged.
The Judge ordered the documents in
the case to be impounded. This points
10 the likelihood Of criminal proceedings
to elucidate the authorship Of Sir Tat
ton Sykes signature.
The foreman said that the jury found
that the signatures on the promissory
notes. letters of authority and letter
dated January ., 1897. were not in the
handwriting of Sir Tatton Sykes. The
Jury therefore non-suited the money
lender Daniel Jay, in the action
against Sir Tatton Sykes and his wife
to recover the sums lent Lady Sykes on
security of the aforementioned notes,
purporting to be signed by the husband,
who denied tlreir signature.
The jury's decision that the sigma
lures were forged. and the action of the
Judge in impounding the documents,
naturally recall the testimony regard
ing Lady Sykes, which was presented
on January 14th

Relative to the Policy to be Pursued in the
Far Eastern Question.
The Ministry Determined, Even at
the Cost OF War, That the
Chinese Commerce Shall Not be
Closed to Great Britain-The
Plain Speaking of the Minister
OF the Exchequer Commended
by the Conservative Press.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The country gen
orally is greatly pleased by the an
nouncement made by the Chancellor Of
the Exchequer. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, at Swansea last night, in which
he echoed the previous declarations of
Mr.. Balfour at Manchester on the IN
dian policy Of the Government, and
added that the Ministers We're deter
mined, even at the cost of war, that
the Chinese commerce should not be
closed TO Great Britain.
This declaration is taken as outlining
the Governments position, and both
the Liberal and Conservative newspa-
pers commend the plain speaking.
The Globe" this afternoon says:
What we want in China is trade. We
want to make market for the COM
merce of the whole world. Sir Mich
ael Hicks Beachs announcement of
the determination of the Government is
clear and resolute, and will tend to
peace 1t is a pity that other Cabinet
Ministers have not spoken thus on 9TH
er occasions. When the loan Is DELI
nitely settled, Russia, France and Ger
many viii have to let US know not only
whether they intend to acquiesce in the
principle we have laid down, but will
have to be definitely asked to give
place on specific points which have
been destroyed. In carrying out the
policy promulgated, the Government
will have the support of the people OF
this country, and also Of two countries
who above all others are eminentiy
concerned. Both the United States and
Japan recognize the wisdom and the
benefits which are likely to be derived
from ports free and open"
The "St James Gazette" also believes
that the Firm statement tends to
peace
The Pail Mall Gazette" says: 'The
Government is determined that the
Chinese door shall be kept open, even
at the cost Of war. These are grave
words, but they would be more serious
sill if they did not represent a serious
intention. 1t is the power that talks
of war, and then recoils from acting,
that gets enbroiled'
The provincial newspapers also ap-
prove of the speech of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach.
The Westminster Gazette in it's
financial article says: THE Stock tx
change was not so cheerful. Consois
have fallen. Some unsteadiness was
caused generally by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's speech. which has aroused
some uneasiness."
Other papers. however, say the speech
was received on the Stock Exchange
with general approval

ANNAPOLIS (Md.), Jan. 1S.-The Ma
ryland General Assembly began at
1870 this morning to ballot for United
States Senator to succeed Arthur p
German, whose term expires in March,
1899. The opening of the fight found
Republicans who have a considerable
majority in both houses, divided
among themselves, eleven of the num-
Der, all delegates from Baltimore city,
having persistently refused to go into
caucus on the Senatorial or any 9TH
er question.
The situation was further compli-
Gated by rumors that William t. Mall
Mayor of Baltimore, would enter the
contest, and that he expected to win
by means of a coalition between the
eleven indictments and the forty-seven
Democrats in the House and Senate

BITUMlA0US COAL MINERS.
EFFORTS TO SETTLE THE WAGE
SCHEDULE.
a Joint Convention OF Operators
and Workmen in Session
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-The interstate
joint convention of bituminous coal
miners and operators assembled to-day
prepared to do business IN a methodical
manner. The State delegations had
been thoroughly organized, and scale
committees had been named.
The miners had made no attempt to
conceal the fact that what they want
is an advance throughout the field of
10 cents per ton. The owners are far
from agreeing with the operators on
this point, and say cents is sufficient.
The morning session was brief. Yes
terday's action in according the West
Virginia delegation of miners a seat
and voice, but no vote, in the conven-
ton was reconsidered, ana the miners
from that State were unanimously ac-
corded full privileges.
The Scale Committee went into secret
conference Immediately after recess was
taken by the convention. A. l.. Swee-
ney Of Illinois was elected Chairman
and William Warner of Pennsylvania
Secretary No material progress was
anticipated by the committeeman, and
none was accomplished. The general
situation in the coal trade was dis
cussed at length by both miners and
operators.
Hon. II. L. Chapman of Ohio, who is
a member of the committee for the OPP
orators, said: THE situation is an ex-
tremely complicated one. and will re-
quire thorough discussion. which will
probably continue several days Owing
10 the large attendance at the conyen-
ton. it was deemed inexpedient to en-
ter upon a discussion Of the wage scale
in open session. Such proceeding would
precipitate endless discussion. and be
entirely fr~uitIess. In the elected COM
mittee both sides will be free to express
their opinions, and, have no doubt,
will reach a satisfactory and amicable
agreement, which would be utterly inn
possible in open session"

Voters Failed to Follow Directions Of the
Resolution of the Trustees.
Sensation Anticipated To-day in
Connection With the Uber
Lynching at Genoa, Nevada
Three Witnesses Expected to
Reveal to the Grand Jury the
Identity OF Members Of the
the Mob.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-The SUI
preme Court, in an opinion rendered to-
day, declared that the issuance of
bonds in the amount of $4,000 for mn-
nicipal Improvement by the City Of
San Luis Obispo was invalid, simply
upon the ground that the electors had
not followed the directions of the reso-
luton of the Board of Trustees as to
the manner in which the vote should be
taken.
The resolution provided that the voter
should write yes or mo- opposite
the proposition. The printed ticket pro-
vided that stamp should be used.
The question of issuing bonds was
carried, but p w. Murphy, a heavy
taxpayer, began proceedings to test he
validity of the election. The Superior
Court decided that the election was
valid. The Supreme Court, sitting in
bank, has reversed the judgment Of
the lower court, and sustained that Of
its own Commissioners.
The appellant presented three
grounds upon which he contended that
the issuance of the bonds was Illegal:
First, that the bonds We're made pay
able in gold coin of the United States
instead of being made payable III
gold coin or lawful money of the United
States" second, that at the election
upon the question Of their issuance the
votes We're not cast in accordance with
the terms of the ordinance by which
the question was submitted; third, that
the question whether the interest on
the bonds should be paid annually Or
semi-annualIy was not submitted to the
voters.
AS TO the first point, the court finds
that the statute places no limitation
upon the mode of payment of the
bonds, and declares that the recognized
standard of value in this State is gold
coin. The question of the invalidity
of the bonds for not stating the amount
of the interest, nor where it was to be
paid, the court says is treated by the
statute, and it is immaterial whether
the bonds or the resolution make any
mention of these matters
Many citizens of the State are inter-
ested in the decision

CREEDE WILL CONTEST.
The Defense Has an Inning in the
CeIebrated Case.

Los ANGELES, Jan. IS. - The de-
Tense had it's inning to-day in the
Creede will contest when the case was
resumed before Judge Clark. Only one
witness was examined by the propo-
Dents, and that was John r. Jones, who
acted as Creede's attorney during the
latter's lifetime, and drafted the agree
ment of separation and settlement so
often referred to as the $4,000 con-
tract. which is being attacked by the
contestants. His testimony contradicted
a great deal of what Mrs Creole had
said in regard to the signing of the
agreement and was to the effect that
she had thoroughly considered the prop
osition made by her husband before she
had accepted 1T.
AS to Mrs. Creede's mental condition
when she left her home, Mr. Jones
testified that she was remarkably keen
at making a bargain.
