CHARGES KURTZ WITH TREASON.
Ohio State journal Says He Is Work.
ing for Mclean.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS Ohio, November 3.-The
State Journal, central organ OF the repub-
ncans and ardent supporter OF Senator
Hanna, openly charges that Charles l..
Kurtz, Charles Gerrish and ]. L. Hamp-
ton are not only operating with John r.
Mclean in the campaign. but are handling
his money here and IN other parts of the
state.
Gerrish is a prominent ant-Hanna repub-
combination in January, 1895, was elected
clerk Of the house OF representatives at the
hands Of the fusion party. He still holds
the position. Hampton is executive clerk
in the office of Governor Bushnell.
The Journal closes a lCng article on this
matter and the use Of money In the cam
paign. 1t seems TO contemplate the election
of Mclean by this means, and closes with
the assertion that if elected Mr.. Mclean
will not take his seat as governor, as
abundant evidence Of corruption in his di-
rection has been obtained.
Col. J. H. Brigham, assistant secretary
OF agriculture, has highly incensed the
friends of Gov. Bushnell by the interview
published in republican newspapers last
evening" in which he declared that Judge
Nash need not apologize for the letter he
wrote to Gov. Bushnell in January, 1898,
resigning the trusteeship of a state hospital.
Gov Bushnell richly deserved all he got
from Nash in that letter, said Col. Brig
ham Col. Dick had been apologizing TO
Gov. Bushnelrs friends for this letter and
pursuing a ConciliatOry policy toward that
faction, with apparently good results, so
far as the interests of the republican ticket
is concerned, but this interview starts the
trouble all over again. Gov. Bushnell has
refused to take notice Of Colonel Brigham .

ANOTHER BID SUBMITTED.
Action of Moran Bros. Referred to
the Board of Construction.

Moran Bros. of Seattle, Wash, shipbuild-
ers, have submitted to the Navy De-
partment another bid to take the place
of that presented Wednesday for the con-
struction of one Of the 3.500-ton cruisers.
The firm does this on the theory that Con-
gress intended that at least two of the six
vessels should be constructed on the Pacific
coast, and as the Union iron works at
San Francisco, the only other bidder on the
slope. bid for only one of the ships, the
Seattle firm feels that if it reduces its orig
inal bid, which was among the highest to
the same figure as that of the San Fran
cisco corporation it should have it consid-
cred on even terms The proposition being
irregular has been referred TO the board of
construction, and the general opinion is
that 1T cannot be entertained without in
fringing the rights of all the other bidders.

WILL LEAVE SAN FRANCISCO.
Headquarters of Pacific STEAMSHIP
Company Going to seattle.

SAN FRANCISCO November 3.-The Cali
saws that on January / San Francisco will
cease to be the shipping and general bus
mess center of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, and all the local interests of
that concern will be moved to Seattle. AL
though no public announcement of the fact
has yet been made, it has become known
that GoodaI, Perkins & Co, which firm has
been for years the company's agents and
managers, have been deprived OF the
agency and are closing up their books as
rapidly as possible, in order that the formal
transfer of the business may take place on
or before the appointed date. The change
is due to the fact that the Great Northern
Railway Company, with headquarters in
Seattle, has secured a controlling interest
in the steamship company.

APPEAL TAKEN.
Question as to Signatures to Applica-
ton for Liquor License.


On behalf of the estate of James A
Brown, deceased, and the owners of a large
block of the property on 9th street opposite
the Pennsylvania railroad depot. Attorney
Wilton j. Lambert today filed with the
District Commissioners an appeal from A
decision of the assessor for the District 10
the effect that the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company is a necessary signer
to liquor license applicat tions in that vicin-
ity. This part of the city has proved 1t is
said, to be popular and lucrative location
for hotels and restaurants, and 1t is claim
ed that the railroad company has recently
adopted a policy antagonistic to these in
terests in such matters.
Mr.. Lambert, in his appeal discusses ami
cites the law at length, stating that the
place in question has for many years borne
an excellent reputation but that by reason
of the death of the proprietor. in August
last, the law requires the consent again in
idents keeping house on the same and op-
posite sides of the square.
In pursuance Of this, Mr.. Lambert states.
such consent was obtained from those on
the same side of the square, but as the
railroad depot occupies the entire block op-
posite, and the land is owned by the United
states government, he contends that no Sig
nature from the company Is necessary
The roilroad company he states was per
mitted by act of Congress passed in
1872 to erect its depot upon the reservation
upon condition that it pay taxes upon the
same to the District, such revenue to be
used to support the public schools. 1t be-
ing conceded that no ownership exists it
is contended by him that the company can
not be considered a resident, keeping house
and that therefore the consent required by
the assessor is neither requisite nor proper
II is understood the matter will be re-
ferred by the Commissioners to the attor-
ney fer the District for opinion, after
which hearing will probably be given the
interested parties

Vicious Act of n Jealous Husband ill
PhiinlcInhia.

PHILADELPHIA, November 3.-Because
he believed Edward II. Platt of this city
was attempting to ruin his home, Jay II.
Worst Of Berwyn, Pa, dashed vitriol in
Platts face, and it Is believed the latter
will lose the sight of both eyes. During
the celebration of the peace jubilee here
Platt made the acquaintance of Worsts
wife, and when she returned to Berwyn he
sent her letters couched in endearing terms
few days ago Worst found some of these
letters and Mrs. Worst admitted that she
had received many of a similar character
Whether the woman replied in the same
strain has not been explained. Worst
brought his wife to this city last night and
boarding house. Platt was summoned to
the door, and, without giving him time to
explain, Worst threw the vtriol over him
and was arrested. At the hospital the
physicians today are doubtful whether they

AUTHORIZED TO PAY,
Decisions Rendered for Secretary
BrnciIett of Exposition Commission.

The controller of the treasury has rem
dered two decisions to Maj. Fred. Bracket
the secretary and disbursing agent of the
commission to the Paris exposition. The
first of the decisions is of considerable in
terest. Maj. Bracket inquiries IL he is
authorized to pay $4S5.90 in premiums on
insurance policies on the buildings con-
structed at the Paris exposition by the
United States, and on some of the exhibits
to be made. The controller states that it
has never been the policy of the United
States to insure any of it's buildings, but
that there is no law preventing such insur-
ance, and that, when appropriation is
available for the purpose, he does not see
how the insurance can be prevented.
The other matter Maj. Bracket inquiries
about is whether he is authorized to pay
for certain instruments to be used in pre-
pairing an exhibit of the Gather bureau at
the Paris exposition. The controller decides
that inasmuch as the exhibit is part of
that to be made by the Department of Ag-
riculture, it can be paid.
