The: Pinsre-Johnson Plan of Municipal
Ownership Will Not Carry in Detroit.
DETROIT, July 15.-It was conceded
on all sides this afternoon that the
Pingree-Johnson plan for the purchase
of the street railways is defeated.
There is now no possibility of muster
ing enough votes of aldermen to pass
the desired ordinances over the May
ors veto. Several of the Alderman
who voted for the security franchise
have now decided that the risk of fail
ure to pay for the roads of out of the
three cent fare receipts is too great to
incur with reasonable safety. Another
attempt in the same direction will
doubtless be made at some future
time. Three cent fares were still in
vogue to-day. Tom L. Johnson left
for New York this afternoon.
DETROIT, MICH, July 15.-The
Evening News says: Acting on GER
tain information, the police commits
sioners have instructed Capt. McDon-
nell, chief of the detectives depart
ment, to investigate the transactions
of some of the alderman for the past
few days. What the evidence is can
only be conjectured. 1t is known,
however, that as far as the police are
concerned, the finger of suspicion is
pointed to six aldermen as having re-
ceived bride for their votes on the
street car ordinance last Tuesday.
Before leaving the city Tom L. Johnson
handed letter to Governor Pingree in
which he says he is satisfied that it is
not feasible to consummate, under existing
conditions, the plan of transferring the
street railway properties. He says low
fares and short franchises are incompat-
ible if railways are to be run for profit as
a. private enterprise.
AT the governors office il was commonly
accepted that the letter presages return
to five cent fares. The ordinances of the
older companies permit straight five cent
fares. without transfers, but the COM
panies have been selling six tickets for a
quarter with transfer privileges.
The new Detroit Railways 30-year fran
chise requires it to sell eight tickets for
a quarter, with transfers.

ago, de Cuba.

WASHINGTON, July 15-The official
publication of the marine hospital service
issued to-day contains a summary of the
yellow fever situation in Santiago de Gu
ba up to July 10, prepared by Assistant
Surgeon Parker, who is on the ground.
He says that up to that date there had
been las cases, with 2S deaths. DR.. Parker
also reviews the history of the epidemic.
The first case discovered appears to have
been that of an American civilian who was
i'll in a saloon. Soon three other cases de-
veloped in the saloon. Referring TO the
spread of the disease, he says:
1.-The foci of infection have increased al
most daily. The first cases were removed
from the guard house and band room in
the barracks; other cases followed those
from the same locality; then cases were
traced to the barracks occupied by the
various companies, new foci appeared in
the town, four cases being removed from
Basilo house, two doors below this office;
several cases have also been taken from
the hospital. The military hospital is one
of the greatest sources of danger, several
cases, among them a hospital steward,
being traced to that institution"
DR.. Parker says the non-immunes at
Santiago are becoming very restlesssand
many are leaving.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Admiral
George Dewey to-day, filed in the Court
of Claims through his attorneys, his
claim for naval bounty growing out of
the battle of Manila Bay, May l, 1898.
This is the first OF this class of claims
filed in this court, and it is anticipated
that there will be four or five thousand
of them altogether.
Many of these claims were originally
filed before the navy department under
the provisions of section 1885, of re-
vised statutes for sinking or otherwise
destroying vessels belonging to Spain,
in various dates during the period from
April 81, when active naval operations
against that country were entered up
on, until the suspension of hostilities
upon the signing of the protocol, Au-
gust II, 1898.
These claims involve controverted
of which will affect number of cases
and will furnish a precedent for the
future action of the Navy Department
in the adjustment of this class of cases.
Secretary of the navy, after a con-
sultation with the attorney general and
with his approval, has referred to the
court of claims a number of these
claims in order that the matters in
volved may receive judicial considera-
ton.
The secretary of the navy is given
authority to refer these claims to the
court of claims for decision under the
provisions of section 2, of the act of
March 3, 1888, entitled, 'An act to
afford assistance and relief to Congress
and the executive departments in the
investigation of claims and demands
against the government"
The purpose of the reference of the
claims is to get judicial determination
by the court of rights of all the parties
interested.

ordinary size. while Jerry. although he
was almost thirty when he died, was
but 10 inches tall and weighed 81
pounds when in health. AT birth he
was an ordinary sized child but when
about four or five years of age for some
unknown reason his growth became ar
rested Jerry was symmetrically form
fashion. He necessarily attracted much
attention away from home, which was
distasteful to hfm, as he was of an eX
tremely modest disposition, and for
this reason he did not travel a great
deal. He had a Shetland pony and
cart to correspond TO his size and drove
a great deal in the neighborhood. He
endeared himself TO all who knew him
and was the pet of that section. He
was Intellectual and cultured. and a
skilled musician. He was an expert
telegraph operator, having delicacy
and dexterity in manipulating a key
rarely possessed by anyone. Jerry will
be greatly missed.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-1t is stat
ed in some quarters intimately ac-

Samoan affairs, that the abolition of
the kingship in Samoa has advanced
considerably further than provisional

so far acquiesced that this feature is

is said also that the report Of the

unanimous so that further action by
the three governments in framing a
treaty will be largely Formally.
