REFERRED TO POPE LEO.

Washington, May 4.-The following
memorandum was given out for publ
cation at the state department today:
"The strained relations existing be-
tween the republics of Haiti and San
Domingo, caused by dispute over the
boundary line between those two coun-
tries, is in fair way of settlement.
The whole question, with others in
kolved, is to be referred to the holy
zee, Pope Leo Kill, at Rome, to adjust.
The statement that each country was
massing troops on the frontier is un-
true"

COST OF THE WAR.
Estimate Makes 1t
$275,OOO,OOO Up to Date.


$275,OOO,OOO Up to Date.
Washington, May Am approxi-
mate calculation places the total ex-
penditures of the treasury on account
of the war with Spain, from the be-
ginning of the war preparations in
March of last year up to the present
time, at $275, 100000.
1t is impossible for the treasury Of
ficials to form even rough estimate
of what the war will eventually cost
in the way of increased pensions and
charges on the treasury
The pension expenditures are expected
to be heavy in proportion to the num-
Der of men engaged and the duration
of the war and on account of the large
percentage of sickness that prevailed
in the army of General Shafter.
Much will also depend on the dura,
ton of the Philippine campaign. The
expenses of the navy are rapidly being
reduced to a normal basis, but the
Philippine campaign is still keeping
the war department expenditures up.

BON. PATRICK WALSH,


Former United States senator and Promi-
nent Journalist, Dead.
Augusta, Ca, March 19.-Hon. Pat
rick Walsh, former United States SEN
ator and Mayor of Augusta, died at his
residence to-day efter three months
illness of nervous prostration. Although
there was little hope for his recovery,
his death was not thought to be so
near at hand.
Mayor Walsh was one of the most
prominent men in Georgia and had a
national reputation as the earnest
champion of southern development. He
was one of the best authorities on the
maternal resources and manufacturing
products of the South.
Mr.. Walsh was born in Ireland,
January 1, 1910. At II he was appren-
ticed in the Charleston Evening News,
and in due time became journeyman
printer. He came to Augusta in 1862,
and has ever since been identified with
the press of the city, for twenty-five
years past as editor and proprietor of
the Augusta Chronicle. In 1878, he
served in the State Legislature. In
1880, 1884 and 1896, he was a delegate
to the Democratic national conventions
and served four years as Georgia mem
Der of the National Democratic Execu-
tive Committee; he served as member
at large for the Worlds Fair Commit
tee. In 1894 he was appointed by
Governor Northen to the United States
Senate on the death of Senator Col
quit, in December 1897, was elected
Mayor of Augusta, which Office he filled
at the time of his death.
Mr. Walsh had no children, but his
nephews, who have been associated
with him on the paper, will continue
to run the Augusta Chronicle.

NO ELECTION.
California Legislature Adjourns
Without Choosing Successor to
Senator White.

Sacramento, Gala, March 19.-At
California adjourned sine die without
United States Senator to succeed
Stephen M. White having been elected.
When the hour for adjournment was
extended from last midnight until 11:45
this morning, it was expressly under
stood that the Senatorial matter was
settled, and that the question of the
election of a Senator was not to be
preached to-day.
Nevertheless, just before II O'Clock,
Governor Gage sent a message to both
houses, in which he charged the Legis-
lature with having left its duty upper
formed. In the message he implored
the members to no longer delay, but to
proceed to the election of a Senator at
once.
The message was received with
cheers in the Assembly, but Republi-
cans as well as Democrats stated that
read amid the greatest confusion. Sen
ator Boyce, Grant Republican, took
the floor, and in an excited address
moved to lay the message on the
table His voice was drowned in the
uproar. When order was restored,
Boyce renewed his motion. Another
motion was made to have the message
printed in the journal, which prevailed.
At 11:45 a. M, fifteen minutes after
the hour at which another ballot for
United States Senator would have had
to be taken, Lieut.. Governor Neff's
gavel fell and the Legislature was de-
clared adjourned, after one of the
longest and most excited sessions in
the history of the State of California.

Alarmed Lest He Was Victim OF the

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 19.-The re-

start that day for New York and would
stay at the Windsor Hotel. He said he
was going in company with Rev. f. p.
Moore, of IS Fulton street, Wakefield, N.
Y. A telegram has been sent to Mr..
Moore, but no reply has been received.
Mr.. Haworth's relatives have not given
up hope, but they cannot understand why
no news of his whereabouts has been re-
ceived if he is still alive.
