A SUIT AGAINST MEXICO.
A New York Man to Prosecute an
Old Claim.


NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Summons and
complaint were filed this morning in the
county clerks office, in a suit brought by
James G. Jewitt, the surviving partner of
the firm of James c. levitt G. Co., for
meriy of 27 William Street, to recover
SCOT, ,221.66 and interest from May /, 1860,
for breach Of contract, from the United
States of Mexico.
According to the papers in the case.
Jewitt & Co. entered into a contract with
the Mexican Government, in 1859. when
the country was in a state OF revolution.
to send ships to the relief of famine
stricken persons in Vera Cruz. The con-
sideration was to be- it is alleged. $500
tons of scrap iron then in that city Nine
ships were fitted out, including one in
volved in the present action, the Wave.
and proceeded to Vera Cruz, where the
United States cruiser Saratoga was lying
The Wave was impressed to chase and
capture two insurgent cruisers. When the
revolution was at an end the firm at
tempted to collect, but failed The Gov
ernment had disposed of all but zoo tons
of the iron to other persons.
AS soon as the authority of the Govern
ment was re-established contract was en-
tered into with the Jewitts. whereby the
hrm was to receive 10 per cent of the
customs of Vera Cruz until the debt and
interest were paid. At the outbreak of the
civil war the payments on the debt were
discontinued, and no more money has been
received UP to the present time. Action
is now brought to recover on property held
by the Mexican Government in this State
the nature of which is not revealed in the
complaint

BAY STATE REPUBLICANS.
The Platform Will Endorse the Ad
ministratfon's Philippine Policy.

BOSTON, Oct. $50 far as can be
learned the platform to be adopted at the
Republican convention tomorrow will be
hearty endorsement of the policy of the
Administration in the Philippines. 1t will
be platform thoroughly satisfactory to
the Senator Lodge faction, but it is under
stood that it will make no direct attack
upon Senator Hoar, and that 1t will be
so drawn as to eliminate factional feeling
as far as possible.
The committee on resolutions held pro-
tracted session this afternoon, and it is
understood 1t was in the main harmonious.
With the exception of the Offices OF Treas
urer and Auditor, the ticket to be chosen
tomorrow. and, In fact, the entire pro-
gramme for the day, has been agreed upon.
Col. Melvin o. Adams will be chairman of
the convention. W. Murray Crane will be
nominated for Governor; John l.. Bates
for Lieutenant Governor H. L. Knowlton
for Attorney General, and William NJ. Olin
for Secretary of State, all by acclamation.
There are two candidates in the field for
Auditor-Gen. John w. Kimball. of Fitch
burg, who has held the Office since 1891,
and Hon. Henry Turner, of Maiden. Both
men claim 1t tonight and it would be hard
to pick the winner.
There are four men in the field for the
surership-William e. Neall of Lynn;
Hon. Edward S. Bradford of Springfield;
John w. Whipple, of Brockton, and George
T. Sleeper. of Winthrop AT late kour
tonight it looks as if the chances were
about in the same order as that in which
their names are given above, though so
many OF the delegates are unpledged that
the aspect Of the situation is likely to
change materially before the ballot is
taken in the convention

Dewey,s Task.

A very considerable number of Ameri-
can newspapers seem to think that
Mr.. Mckinley has tied Admiral Dewey to
making the victor of Manila, to all intents
and purposes. his principal Secretary Of
State for the Colonies.
1t does not strike US as necessary that
anyone should worry over the prospect of
an eclipse, partial or total, for Admiral
Dewey He is not in position to be easily
snuffed out. He will do about as he
pleases, think and say what suits him, and
the Administration will probably take his
advice and be glad to get it. In any event,
Mr.. Mckinley will not offend the one man
in America who can have the Presidency
at less trouble than the asking for it.
If, as some of our contemporaries conjec-
ture, the whole Philippine problem is to
be turned over to Dewey, that will practi-
cally take the question of our policy and
programme over there entirely out of poi-
itics If there is any one thing the Amer
ican people would delight to hear, it would
be an announcement from the White House
that the whole business of expansion and
colonial government had been turned over
10 the Admiral as a commission of one, and
with no possibility of appeal from his de-
cisions. Under such an arrangement Otis,
DENLY. and the smugglers, hooters. and
thieves would disappear like Sampson on
the eve of a battle.
President Mckinley really could not do
a wiser or more popular thing than to sub
let his Philippine contract to George
Dewey
