ASHORE IN VINEYARD SOUND
Steamer Horatio Hall Goes Aground in a
Thick Fog.
Three Hundred Passengers Aboard
She Floats at High Tide and
Resumes Journey.

WOODS HOLL, Mass, July 12.-The
steamer Horatio Hall, running between
New York and Portland, Ne, is ashore on
the middle ground in Vineyard sound,
about five miles off this place. She rests
easy and probably will float at flood tide.
She went on in the fog.
NEW YORK, July 12.-In the absence of
Horatio Hall, the New York agent of the
line in Boston there was reluctance in
giving out information at the office, es-
pecially as no word had been received that
it was the Horatio Hall that was ashore.
1t was admitted, however, that the steamer
carried something over 800 passengers and
crew of about sixty. The Horatio Hall is
a fine vessel, equipped with latest improve
mentS in passenger accommodation, and is
counterpart of the John EngliS, which
was sold by the line to the government and
under the name of the Relief did service
during the late war as d hospital ship and
is now employed at the Philippines, occa-
sionally running to San Francisco
WOODS HOLL, Mass, July 1.-THE
steamer Horatio Hall floated on the rising
tide and resumed her passage eastward,
apparently uninjured.

NO NEW CANDIDATES.
Fight for Judgeship in About the
Same Condition.

There is no change in the local judgeship
situation at the White House except in the
formal addition of a new candidate Mr.
B. F. Leighton's name was presented as a
candidate today, the delegation consisting
of A. A. Birney, Ex-Governor Hart, William
E. Edmonston, John Ridout and Jesse H
Wilson. The delegation spoke in the high
est terms of Mr.. Leighton. They said that
he was fifty-one years old, a veteran of the
civil war and veteran in the knowledge of
the law. The delegation drew attention to
the fact that Mr.. Leighton has been a pro-
fessor of law at Howard University for
many years.
The President said that he would consider
Mr.. Leighton's name in connection with the
others. The President then proceeded to
ask questions about Messrs. Duvall and
Barnard Would either of these men be
acceptable? Mr. Birney. as the head of his
delegation, spoke in praise of both men,
I'VE did not come here to antagoniZe any
one, but in favor of our candidate" said
Mr.. Birney. The members of the delega-
ton said that the President did not ask as
to any of the candidates except Messrs
Duvall and Barnard.
The President did not intimate when he
will settle the judgeship.

Intention to Resign.

Secretary AIEer Denies Reports of
Intention to Resign.
Secretary Alser today made his first per-
soral statement concerning the reports
that he is about to resign from the cabinet.
When asked as to the truth Of the rumors,
the Secretary inquired:
What do you mean eXactly?"
Il mean to ask whether or not the stories
that you are to retire from the cabinet in
the near future are true"
There is nothing in these reports but
air. replied the Secretary. Il shall not re-
tire this year certainly, and cannot say as
TO the future. My private business and the
state of my health will govern my future
course.
These constant assaults and repeated
baseless reports are, of course, very an
nOying to me and extremely distressing to
my family, but l have never yet retired
under fire, and do not propose to do so
now. Nothing that L have ever heard of
or known of has been so cruel as these at
tacks upon me.
IF my critics can point to one thingin my
official career l have done that l ought not
to have done, or l have not done that I
should have done, L shall be very glad to
surrender my present oLlcial duties.''

NEGLECT OF 4 HERO.
The Remains of John Paul Jones
Have Been Lost.

Inquiry was recently made at the State
Department in regard to the grave of John
Paul Jones, the great naval hero of revo-
lutionary days, who died in Paris July IS
1872. He was buried there with the high
est honors by the French government, but
it appears that the present location of his
grave is not known. The Secretary of
State recently addressed a letter to Mr.
Henry Vignaud of the United States en-
bassy at Paris, asking whether the grave
of John Paul Jones in Paris is known and
marked. He has received a letter in reply
from Mr.. Vignaud saying that although he
has made earnest and frequent inquiries of
the city authorities in regard to the mat
ter, ne has been unable to discover the
whereabouts of the grave. One thing es-
tablished by his inquiries, however, he says
is that Paul Jones was not buried in the
cemetery where the remains of Lafayette
lie, as has been supposed by some people.
In another quarter ii is intimated that
owing to a custom prevailing in Paris, the
remains of John Paul Jones were deposited
in a rented grave for term of years, and
that upon the expiration of the lease, a
great many years ago, the bones of this
distinguished American patriot may have
been thrown into the potter's field.

HOLO-UP IN COLORADO
Four Men Stop a Train and Dynamite the
Express Car.
Passengers Were Not Molested and
the Mail Car Was Not Attacked
Robbers Being Pursued.

TRINIDAD, Col, July 12-South- bound
passenger train No. 1 on the Colorado and
Southern railway was robbed by four men
at point five miles south of Folsom, N NJ
The hold-up occurred at 1870 o'clock last
night at the same point at which the
passenger train was held up last Septem-
Der after the train had been brought to
standstill and the crew had been intimi-
dated by guns, the robbers using dynamite
with good effect, blowing open the sides
of the express car. Superintendent Webb
and the Wells Fargo express agent, Glover
state positively that nothing was secured
by the robbers.
Mr.. Webb left for the scene of the hold
up on a special train, accompanied by Off
GERS with horses. He is confident he will
be able to take the robbers. There were
but few passengers on the train, and they
were not molested.
AS soon as the robbers had searched the
express car they mounted horses, which
were hitched near by, and firing few
shots to alarm trainmen and passengers,
fled without any attempt to go through the
mail car. Parties here who claim to know
say that there was large amount of
money in the express safe, as well as valu-
able express matter.

UNWILLING TO COMMENT.
Secretary Gage Has Not Received Sec
retary McAneny's Letter.

Secretary Gage said today that he had
not as yet received any letter from George
McAneny, secretary of the National Civil
Service Reform League, replying to his in
terview some weeks since. The Secretary
stated, however that he had read frag-
mentary reports in the papers of letter
said to have been sent him by Mr.. Nc
Aneny. The Secretary preferred to wait
until he had read the letter in full before
making any statement, should he deem one
necessary. If the letter was as misleading
as the published extracts, the Secretary re-
marked, he would not make any response,
for the reason that he can add nothing to
the statement in which he replied to the
criticisms made by the league when Presi-
dent McKinley's civil service order was
issued.

MARRIAGE BROKERAGE ILLEGAL
Chicago Judge Declares 1t Opposed to
Morality and PUBLIC Policy.

cision, Judge Shepard said: "AI undertak-

Placating Propositions.
FOR AUTHORIZATION OF CUBA.
Plan to Aid the Agricultural interests
of the Country.

OF the country.
The plan of sending cattle to Cuba to re-
store the depleted herds is part of a general
plan being urged by Senior Quesada special
delegate for Cuba, as a means of inducing
the Cuban farmers to return to the sugar
plantations and agricultural pursuits. At
present the government is distributing
about one million rations month, at a
cost of about $2s0,O0 The reports from
Cuba show that this distribution is serving
to hold the people in the populous centers
thus ia king away the incentive for return
to the rich country districts. 1t is proposed
to remedy this condition by gradually di-
verting part of the fund now used for ra-
tions that implements and materials will
be furnished those who wish to return to
the farms. 1t is said that half Of the
amount now used for rations If applied to
building up the country districts, would
soon result in self-sustainng rural COM
munities. whereas the distribution of ra-
tions gives no promise of beneficial results
save that of relieving immediate distress.
Reports received by Mr.. Quesada show that
with the disbandment of the Cuban army
this class is added to those already in the
cities awaiting opportunity to resume
work in the interior.
A delegation from Puerto Principe and
Santa Clara provinces is expected here
shortly to supplement Mr.. Quesada's efforts
in this direction. The authorities here are
favorably impressed with the plan and a
report on it has been requested of Gen.
Brooke.
Inc question of extending the time of
payment of debts in Cuba has been referred
by the War Department back to Gen.
Brooke, who has placed the matter before
his cabinet officer having charge of fiscal
affairs. The question has excited much
interest here and in Cuba, and several dele
cations have come here to urge various
phases of the debt question. The creditor
class recently proposed notifications. lin the
existing order, and these have been taken
under advisement and referred TO Gen.
Brooke

proposed has a background of white crossed
diagonally by red bars In the center is
circle of blue embellish, with white stars.
