Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, Makes Public
His Candidacy.
tch TO The Evening Star

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 26-Mayor
Jones of Toledo will be a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor. He
said so at Toledo upon his return home
from the east last night. The only con-
dition he places upon it is that the republic
can state convention must adopt in its en-
tirety the Toledo platform, upon which he
was reelected mayor this month.
The organiza ton that is pushing Mayor
Jones candidacy has arranged for a mass
meeting Of labor organization members
here on June l, to be addressed by Mayor
Jones. This will be the day before the re-
publican state convention. Labor leaders
from all over the state are to be here and
also many delegations of laboring men from
out Of the city. From Toledo comes the re-
port that several thousand will come down
from that city. 1t is evidently intended to
give a send off to the mayors guberna-
torial boom.
Beside Mayor Jones the speakers at the
meeting will be Attorney General Monnett
John Mcbride, ex-president of the United
Mine Workers; Congressman John j. Lentz
and ex-Mayor Black of this city Invita-
tons have also been sent to Mayor Quincy
of Boston, Governor Pingree OF Michigan,
Samuel Gompers and Tom L. Johnson.

CORDIAL RELATIONS AT APIA.
German Naval Commander ExplOdes
Some Sensational RumOrs.

BERLIN, April 26.-With the view of rec
tifying the reports of the discord said to
exist between the three naval commanders
at Samoa, the Norddeutsche Zeitung pub
fishes extracts today from the reports of
the commander of the German warship
Fake up to March %, in which Capt Scho-
enfelder says:
The widest rumOrs are current concern
ing the relations between the officers and
crew of the Fake and the Americans and
English The reports are due to some of
our countrymen who do not tire of creating
i'll feeling between the officers and men OF
the three countries by promoting such ru-
mors.
LAS a matter of fact, the relations be-
tween the different commanders and Off
GERS are thoroughly courteous and of an
accommodating character. In spite of the
arduous nature OF his guard duty Capt
Sturdee attended the funeral of a (German)
sailor, Wiehi with deputation of an Off
Ger and sixteen men. and Admiral Kautz
hoisted his flag at half mast on the same

STRATHER MUST SUFFER DEATH,
The President Denies the Petition for
Ciemencv.

The President today denied the petition
for the Communication of the death sentence
of William M. Strather, and Strather will
be hanged next month at the time fixed by
the District court.
AS heretofore stated in The Star, both the
trial judge and district attorney declined to
recommend the Communication. Attorney
General Griggs also disapproved of the
Communication of sentence. In his statement
to the President the Attorney General, af-
ter reviewing the case, said:
THE jury on both trials found him
guilty without qualifying their verdict
The recent statute of the United States
permitted the jury to consider whether the
evidence disclosed any extenuating circum-
stances, which would lower the punishment
from death to Imprisonment for life, and
on each trial they found there were no
such facts. An examination of the facts in
the case shows. that the murder was
most brutal one. There is no evidence
whatever. except the testimony of the de-
PENDANT himself, which would N anywise
extenuate the cold-blooded atrocity OF the
crime. recommend that the petition be
denied

DEPARTURE OF THE SPANISH.
No Objection to Troops Going TO the
Curoliues.

The State Department has withdrawn
any objection il may have entertained to
the dispatch Of Spanish troops from the
Philippine Islands to the Carolines Pend
ing the exchange of notifications of the
peace treaty and while the protocol was
the prevailing agreement between the two
countries. the United States and Spain it
was held that under its terms there could
be no movement of troops in the direction
OF strengthening garrisOns or in any other
manner changing the military situation
The only exception was the repatriation of
the Spanish troops in Cuba and the Philip
pines. However, as TO the latter ques-
tion Of interest arose and that was the
extent Of the liability of the United States
for the transportation OF the Spanish troops
outside Of Manila, who had never been cap
tured by the United States forces In this
case 1t was decided that the Spanish gov
srnment must carry them away
The movement has now been going on for
some time past. Nearly all of the Spanish
troops who surrendered at Manila have
gone home and only few troops remain
To garrison some posts on the other is
lands The report from Madrid that Cen
eral Otis has requested the Spanish garri-
son at Zamboanga, Island OF Mindanao, be
held in place until an American garrison
can be sent TO relieve them is confirmed
here Had similar arrangement been
made as to Iloilo, II is said. much trouble
and bloOdshed would have been avoided.

Sentiment Favorable to Higher Prices
in Stocks.

Sugar and STANDARD Railroad Shares
Meet Some Demand.
GENERAL MARKET REPORT

Special Dispatch to The Evening star
NEW YORK, April 26.-Thc undertone ~
todays stock market was said to reflect a
better outside inquiry, but the volume 81
commission house business was not sirrin-
canuy increased. The chief feature 81 in.
terest was the continued favorable reports
from the various active railway properties.
Southern, Nashville. Atchison and Mis-
souri, Pacific all felt the Influences OF sub.
stantial increases in current net earnings
Rumors of a probable increase in Penn
sylvania's dividend rate found promp, re-
Election in the price OF that stock ard hll
a sympathetic influence on the pntr. list.
The local speculative sentiment WAS moro
decidedly favorable TO prices than for sew
eral weeks, but the corporation Of the pub
lie has not as Yet reached the substantial
proportions necessary to absolute huuyauyy.
Advances receive the approval Of the pub
lie bur participation is not proportlona,a
to expressed conviction.
1t is perhaps well for the market that
the determination TO he deliberate is ad-
here1 to closely.
The buying Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit.
International Paper and other Flower is
sues credited to inside sources and
gave rise to expectations OF increased ac-
uNlty in this departing Mt. There Is litlS
doubt that the influential interests behind
this group are contemplating another
movement Just as soon as the general mar
kel sanctions an AGGRESSIVE i,OS4lltu.
London buying Of Anaconda mining
shares was again a feature of the trading.
the stock being active throughout tho
greater part of the day. The copper con-
solidation is now regarded a probable
achievement, and the basis of payment Is
said to leave the widest margin of profit for
the Anaconda shares.
The advance in copper generally and the
&C ntdence in the ability to earn dividends
the $40OoN0up of new capital has
created a speculative following in the
shares named, which has, in a way, con-
tributed to the neglect Of the general list
Mexican Central was strong under
further foreign buying and considerable
local speculative demand.
The list was marked up during the
stronger periods Of the day, without much
discrimination as to the particular kind OF
properties bought. The standard dividend
paying shares and the low-priced preferred
shares were all in better demand than for
several days.
The industrial list was bought on "A
scale. and in few instances, notably in
sugar, actual demand was noticeable.
The present intention to absorb the beet
sugar industry in this country and Europe
is behind the new buying of sugar, and
substantial additions to present stock
prices are predicted.

WILL SOON GO TO MANILA.
Gems. Bates and Grant Ordered to the
Philippines.

Two general officers, now in this country
VIII shortly go to the Philippines for field
duty under the orders of Gen Otis. These
are Gen. John c. Bates. formerly stationed
In Cuba, and Gen. Frederick D. Grant. for
merry stationed in Porto Rico They are
expected to start for Manila in a few DAYS
Another general officer who will probably
be sent to the Philippines is Gen. s. M. B.
Young, now in command of one of the
southern military departments. 1t is Dos
sibie that other officers may be similarly
assigned when the army In the Philippines
has been reinforced to it's fullest strength.
Gen. Charles King, who has been relieved
from duty in the Philippines, is now on
his way home. and it Is probable that
other officers who have rendered long and
afduous service in that country will be
similarly relieved as soon as their services
can be spared

NEGOTIATIONS PRACTICALLY OVER.
The Former COrcOrnn Art Gallery
to Be Taken by the Government.

The negotiations for the rental oI the Old
Corcoran Art Gallery by the Department al
Justice have reached such point as to
result in the probable closing of the mat
ter. Attorney General Griggs will rent this
building for the use of the Court of Claims
and Department of Justice.
The plans for the proper alterations have
been made and will soon be carried out.
Only a portion of the Department of Jus
tice will occupy the building
The other portion will possibly be moved
into the Baltic building. on Mcpherson
square. The negotiations as to this build
ing are still open, however.
Whether this building is rented or not
some building besides the Corcoran Art Gal
lery will be required. The Attorney Cen
eral has not yet decided what bureaus of
his department he will place in the Cor
coran building and what in another. He
has also not decided when he will move the
department. This viii depend upon when
the alterations in the rented quarters are
completed.
