THEY WANT DEWEY
To Make His Entry to the United State
at San Francisco.

Chicago, May 9.-News was received
at the city hall to-day that strong
movement is forming in the West to
induce Admiral Dewey to make his
entry into the United States next month
through San Francisco. According to
the announced plans of the Manila
hero, he will leave the Philippines on
his flagship, the Olympia, Immediately
upon the arrival of Admiral Watson.
Admiral Dewey, it has been reported,
will take the Suez canal route, and
will first greet his countrymen at the
port of New York. 1t is now proposed
by the mayors and leading civil officers
of the West to petition the admiral to
change his plans and make the Golden
Gate the objective point of his voyage
to his native land. The latter PROPOSE
ton was made by Mayor Phelan of San
Francisco, who has telegraphed to the
city executives of the leading cities Of
the western portion of the United
States, asking their cooperation in the
effort to secure for the West the honor
of first receiving the naval hero.
Mayor Harrison received the follow
ing dispatch from Mayor Phelan to-
day:
Can you advise me by telegram if
I can use your name by cablegram in
viting Admiral Dewey to return by San
Francisco instead of by Suez? We
contemplate a grand reception"
Mayor Harrison Immediately wired
his assent. 1t is reported that Mayor
Phelan has wired all the mayors of the
principal cities of the West, and has
received favorable answers.

New Flag for Cuba,

New York, May "A special to the Her
aid from Washington says: Cuba has
been provided with a new flag by the
United States government that was de-
signed for Cuban owned vessels engaged
in coastwise trade. 1t was not desired to
give these vessels the American flag, as
that would be a step in the direction Of
annexation, nor the flag of the Cuban
revolution, for that would be step to-
ward recognition. Accordingly the new
ensign consists merely of a blue field with
a white unicorn. The vessels which will
fly this flag were formerly Spanish ships.
In order to preserve to the Cubans the
coasting trade of the island a privilege of
much greater value to them than their
slight participation in the foreign trade,
a regulation was made when the military
occupation of the island began permitting
residents who owned vessels to continue
in the coasting trade on condition that
they abjured allegiance to Spain. This
regulation secured probably nine-tenths
of all the vessels owned in Cuba.

Wants Big Damage.

San Francisco, May 9.-Rev. Walter
Myron S. Lowell, formerly pastor of
Baptist church at Kennebunk, Me-, and
more recently preaching at Coronado
under Methodist supervision, has sued
Captain Fl. Curtis of Kennebunk for
criminal libel and proposes to bring q
civil suit for $4,000 damages. Mr. Lowell
lately forsook the pulpit for the lecture
platform. Soon after this Captain Cur
it's sent communication to Rev. C. f.
Locke of this city, charging Lowell with
deceit, lying and improper attentions to
a young woman. On the first two
charges Lowell has been tried twice by
the Baptist church council and acquit
ted. The charge of immortality has
never been formally preferred against
him. The Methodist preachers here
have investigated the charges and
found them unfounded, but some of Mr.
Lovelrs lecture engagements have been

FAILED TO |ND|CT HIM
Grand Jury Found No Bill
Against Molineux.
WAS GIVEN HIS FREEDOM
But He Was Immediately Rs-Arrested,
Charged With Assault With In
tent to Kill IN Sending
Poison to Cornish.

1 New York, May 9.-Roland Durham
Molineux, who has spent several weeks
in the Tombs prison, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Kate j. Adams, was
discharged this afternoon. the grand
jury having failed to indict him, and
he was Immediately after re-arrested,
charged with assault with intent to
murder in sending cyanide of mercury
to Harry Cornish.
The grand jury, which had been con-
sidering the Molineux case for several
days, came into court this afternoon
and announced to Judge Mcmahon that
the charge against Molineux had been
considered and dismissed. MolineuX
was at once brought into court. When
he arrived before the bar Judge Nc
Mahon asked:
is there any further charge against
the prisoner
There is no existing charge" said
Assistant District Attorney Blumen-
thai.
"Discharged," said the judge, alb
ruptly.
There was not a trace Of feeling on
MolineuX's pale face. He stood for a
moment ana, tnef, taxing MS nat,
started to walk out of the court room.
He was met at the railing in front of
the bar by his counsel, Barlow S.
Weeks, who had rushed from his office
on hearing the news Weeks grasped
the hand of the young man, shook it
and said some encouraging words.
They walked out of the court room. At
the door they were met by Detective
Arthur Carey of police headquarters,
who presented a warrant, issued by
Judge Jerome of the special sessions
court, charging Molineux with an as
sault on Cornish in sending cyanide of
mercury with intent ITO kill him.
n Weeks protested without avail. AS
sistant District Attorney Osborne was
spresent and the party Went to the
Schamber of Judge Jerome, where the
warrant was read.
Weeks declared the charges did not
stand as based on the evidence which
the grand jury had ignored in the muir
der case. But the judge refused to con-
slider this plea, declaring that the war
rant could not be dismissed unless
Weeks could show that the specific
charge of assault had been ignored by
the grand jury. Osborne admitted that
If MolineuX was held on this charge the
case would probably be submitted tC
another grand jury with view of con-
meeting the prisoner with the Adams
poisoning.
The judge declared that as one grand
jury had acted in the matter he could
not approve such an idea.
( In the midst of the argument it was
decided to continue the case until to-
morrow. Bail was fixed at $4,000.

from Adjutant General Corbin at

Your telegram of April Ia to the
president, in which you state that the
1st Colorado volunteers enlisted for the
Spanish war, and that war having end
ed you demand that such regiment be
mustered out of service, and its MEM

referred to this department. In reply
the acting secretary of war desires me to
say that it was the intention of the de-
partment to return all of the volunteer
troops in the Philippine islands long
since, but that this plan was somewhat
disarranged by the recent operations
in those islands. However, instructions
have been sent to Major General Otis
to return those regiments to the United
States as soon as transports are avail
able, and he has replied that the move
ment will occur about May 5, and that
regiments will be returned substantial
ly in the order in which they went out.
The acting secretary desires me to add
that inasmuch as the LIST Colorado reg
iment was among the first to go to the
Philippine islands, it will be among
the first to return, and there is reason
able expectation that it will be returned
to the United States and it's members

CLAIMS SETTLED.
Good Moral Effect of the Chicago at

Washington, May 9.--Oficial con-
f1rmation of the settlement of claims of
American citizens against the Moorish
government reached the authorities in
a dispatch from Rear Admiral Howl
son, who was aboard the Chicago. 1t
is stated positively, however, that the
Chicago was not sent to Tangiers for
the purpose of enforcing any demand
for the payment of the claims mem
toned, but that she simply stopped
there on her cruise around Africa. The
officials say that in all likelihood the
United States consul took advantage
of the moral effect of the presence of
the cruiser and renewed his oft-re-
peated request for the payment of the
claims, some of which have been pend
ing upward of four or five years. They
grew out of the practice of the native
lection to employees Of American mer-

WHEELS ARE HEAVIER NOW.
The Light Bicycles of Two Years Ago Are
Missing.

From the New York Sun. ~..
When it was announced last year
that the bicycles of 1899 were likely to
be heavier than those of 1898, many
riders expressed surprise. They argued
/ that a good deal of dissatisfaction was
found with the wheels then in use be-
cause they were heavier than. those Of
the two years just passed. But it APP
pears that the report concerning the
purposed increase in weight was well
founded. According to the statements
of some persons who have visited the
wheel shops. it is extremely difficult to
find machine of this years model that
weighs, when fitted with a brake, tool
bag, coasters and a tire or ordinary
size, less than 81 pounds, and several of
the new wheels are from two to five
pounds heavier than that.
Twenty-eigh pound or thirty-pound
wheels are complained of less by men
than by women. The women, as a.
rule, are not disposed to accept the
explanation of dealers that the running
qualities of wheel have little to do
with it's weight and and depend chiefly
upon it's general construction. They
say that the light machines of 1896
have never been excelled, so far as ease
in pedaling is concerned, and the fact
that machines at the present time are
several pounds heavier than the old
patterns. is causing no little discus
sion.
Experiments in 1896 and 1897 with
wheels of % and % pounds proved I'M
successful. They required so much re-
pairing and so many of their parts had
to be replaced before one season was
ended that both riders and manufac-
turers became convinced of the need
of machines more stanch and rigid;
and the outcome was that thereafter
stronger and heavier material was used
in the machines construction. But it
is a great mistake to suppose that the
new models run harder than the old
ones. On the contrary, less exertion is
needed to propel them than was re-
auired to propel the lighter ma
| chimes
| The reason is this: In the last three
or four years the mechanical skill nee

| has been developed wonderfully. Bear

new processes and with greater nicely;
| changes in the shaping of frames rem

| easier of propulsion than their prede-
| cessors, owing to the fact that less of

Mckinley has had a day of thorough
rest and comfort at the Hotel Home

trude to disturb him nor did Emporium
ate callers crowd to seek his favor. The
guests seemed to know that his object
was freedom from eXertion and this
they accorded him. He spent most of
the day in the apartments set aside for
his party or on the wide porches upon
which his windows opened. During the
morning he once strolled through the
corridors to the hotel office. After a
nap and luncheon he enjoyed a social
chat with Secretary Gage, Senator
Fairbanks, who came to see the Secre-
tary and was not aware until his ar
rival of the presidents presence here,
and John G. New of Indianapolis. A
few minutes were given to Secretary
Cortelyou and Stenographer Barnes
and later, CARRIED in a short sack coat
and derby hat. the only change from
his daily dress, he started for a walk
with Secretary Gage on his right and
Senator Fairbanks on his left. AS they

AS they walked they passed a bright

fore the president and said: Say. mis-
ter, can you give me the time?" The
president drew out his watch and in a
cheerful and kindly way replied: Just

about half an hour. The exercise in the
invigorating air was beneficial He en-
joyed the walk thoroughly and said to
his companions that he felt much better
for it. The president and Mrs. McKin-
