DICK AND HULING AT OUTS.
Senator Hanna's Attorney Answers
Attack Against His Fairness.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 11.-Cyrus HUI
lipg. who was employed by Senator Hanna
as chief counsel in the legislative investi-
cation of charges of bribery made against
him in the senatorial contest, is out in a
caustic card, criticising Congressman Chas
w. F. Dick, who In interview published
yesterday charged Huling and other promi-
nent republican attorneys who were asso-
ciated with him of ''wolfing' Senator Han
in that case by exorbitant bills. After
stating that the bill was only a fair one
and was paid by Senator Hanna without
hesitation, Mr.. Huling says the services
were laborious and valuable ''as Mr.. Dick
well knows" and that they We're made nee
essary by Dicks conduct during the sena-
torial contest Mr.. Dick,' he adds "can
have an itemZed statement of everything
done by me in the case If he desires it"
He closes with the following shot: Mr.
Dick, have no doubt, opened many letters
addressed to Senator Hanna personally, and
1t was because | protested to Senator Han
ma against intrusting his conscience and
the whole republican patronage OF Ohio to
Mr.. Dick that / have gained his enmity. He
is trying to smirch my professional reputa-
ton
Huling is Hanna republican of much in
fiuence here friendly to both President Nc
Kinley and Senator Hanna. This rupture
of relations has no bearing on the contest
for the nomination for governor.

TWOCANNONS FROM DEWEY
he Sent Them to the National Museum and
One Was Loaded
Two Shells and a Grape Shot Were
Found Here and the officials Are
Wondering About 1t.

Admiral Dewey has sent and the National
Museum has received two cannons which
ha captured from the Spaniards at Cavite,
near Manila In one of them two shells
and grape shot were found, and the mu-
scum officials are wondering whether or
not it had been loaded by the Spaniards
during the fight with Dewey and the gal
liant admiral incautiously sent it homeward
an engine of destruction under certain con-
ditions.
At any rate, there was a smali-sized
panic at the museum when the discovery
was made gunner from the navy yard
was sent for and finally came. He brought
the shells and grape shot to light In ship
shane fashion Both shells were of the
percussion cap variety, but the caps were
missing. The powder, however, was IN
them, although a little moldy. The museum
people incline to the belief that, in spite OF
the mold the powder would explode If sub
jected to fire. The fact that pieces of coal
also were found In the cannons led to the
conclusion that they were brought mere III
q transports coal bunkerS.
Arguing from this, the om!nous opinion
is reached that had the shells slipped out
into the coal and the coal and shells un-

The transport Buffalo. which reached
New York several days ago. has six can

Mia to the museum. These will be care
fully examined to see if they are loaded.
The cannon will he added to the historical
collection. which is now considered the most
interesting within the museum walls. The
two here now are of modern type and bear
the mark of the royal foundry of Spain.
They have a companion piece in the gun
found near Santiago, Cuba. by the District
Volunteers. which was presented to the
museum and is exhibited in the rotunda of
the main building.

No Reason for the Tragedy.
JONES MAY SUPPORT kILBouRNE.
Gossip Concerning the Gubernatorial
Contest in Ohio.

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 11.-Col. James
Kilbourne of Columbus, who is to be the
democratic gubernatorial candidate OF the
ant-Bryan forces in Ohio, it is said will
be the political Iegatee of Mayor Jones of
Toledo.
Col. Kilbourne closely approaches the Sam
Jones standard of a candidate. He is a
manufacturer and a practical friend of the
workngmen. A strike has never occurred
in his works. His men were employed at
the old wages during all the time of the
panic.
Mayor Jones proceeds along the lines of
principle rather than along party boundar-
les, and for that reason, ii is declared, he
will be kilbourne supporter unless he is
himself candidate
Politicians here believe that with his de-
feat Jones may lay his gubernatorial aspi-
rations on the shelf. They hope, at least
that he is out of It. While they were
scrambling for the prizes to be distributed
by the republican convention, all of them
saw in Jones hobGoblin who might de-
stroy all their plans. 1t would not be sur
prisinS if the Lucas county vote were dis
tributed among half a dozen candidates.

mode efforts, 10 attempt has been made

erty. Mr.. MjAs has consulted attorneys in
New York as to the status of limitations
and has received the opinion that the heirs
still have twenty years Of grace before their
hen upon the estate expires. The heirs are
said TO number over 80, scattered through
out Canada and the United States.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE following
cablegram was sent by Mayor Van Wyck

ADMIRAL DEWEy's RETURN.
At Liberty to Come by Whichever
Route He Desires.


Secretary Long said today that the NAVY
Department would not seek to influence Ad-
mIral Dewey in any way in the selection of
the route by which ne will return TO the
United States. BY an Old custom of the
department an admiral is allowed to return
To the United States at the end of his tour
Of service on a foreign station in his own
flagship. and in the present case Admiral
Dewey may choose his own course, coming
either by way Of Suez or directly across
the Pacific. The department now expects
that he viii reach this country early in
July, though it is stated that he viii not
leave Manila until ne has completed his
functions as one of the Philippine commits
sion, at least to the extent Of terminating
hDstiHties.
It has been suggested that the vessels of
the North Atlantic squadron now at New
York meet Admiral Dewey on his flagship
Olympia at the west end of the Mediter
raHean and escort him to New York. The
matter has been talked over among naval
officers. but plan OF action has been de
cideI upon II is said at the department
that nothing can be done in the way of an
official PtiOn to Admiral Dewey until II
Is known when he Will start for home and
what route he viii follow both Of which
points are left to the discretion of Admiral
Dewey. 1t Is generally understood, how
ever that he Will come by way of the Suez
route In that even; ii would be feasible
10 have the North Atlantic feet receive him
in the vicinity IF Gibraltar and escort him
SCross the Atlantic. Such action would be
Unprecedented. but It is generally felt that
Admiral Dewey Is entitled To the proposed

to its feasibility. In case the fleet is

SUICIDES FASoUITE DRUG.
Growing Use OF Carboifc Acid for Self
Destruction.

CHICAGO, May ll.-Dr. Clifford Mitchell
of the Chicago Homeopathic Medical Col
lege staff has discovered that twenty -one
per cent of the persons who committed sui
eide in Chicago in 1888 did so by drinking
carbolic acid and that total of 364 per-
sons in New York, Brooklyn and Chicago
killed themselves by swallowing this drug.
The figures were submitted by Dr. Mitchell
to members of the Illinois Homeopathic
Medical Association at its annual meeting
last night at thu Palmer House and on the
strength of them the society voted TO use
its influence with druggists to have the
indiscriminate sale of the drug restricted.
DIR. Mitchell secured his figures to cor
roborate statement made recently by Dr.
Z. NJ. Deacon in medical journal that
one-third of the men and nearly one-han
of the women who poisoned themselves in
1870 did so by drinking carbolic acid.
The figures Indicated that the restriction
put on the sale of arsenic and other poisons
had turned persons of suicidal bent TO
the acid of the sale of which there is no
restriction.

Two Customs Decisions.

Assistant Secretary Spau.ding decides
that copyrighted books printed in Europe
from plates made from type set in the
United States are not subject to the pro
hibiion Of importation in section 3 of the
copyright act of March 3, 1891.
Mr., Spaulding also decides that American
goods, which have been improved in CON
dition or advanced in value abroad by
American labor and materials, are dutiable
on reimpor tatiOn. This decision was in the
case Of Detroit manufacturer, who eX-
ported a dynamo to Canada and later re-
imported it, after the dynamo had been re-
wound and the machines repaired by new
parts, the work being done by American
mechanics and the material used being
manufactures of the United States.
