PLACING THE CAPsToNE.
Big Block of Granite on the Sherman
Statue Pedestal.


The work Of placing the capstone on the
pedestal for the Sherman statue. back of
the Treasury Department, commenced this
morning, but was interrupted by slight
ever placed in the city. 1t weighs. about
fifteen ana ope-half tons, and is beauti-
full piece of Maine granite. Its greatest di-
mansions are twelve and one-half feet by
nine feet, with thickness of twenty-one
inches.
During the morning hours the workmen
were busy getting everything in order for
putting the immense stone in position. By
II o'clock all was prepared. The derrick
had been strengthened with ropes and a
couple of heavy beams dashed fengthways,
and it was thought that all the parts would
given it took but three minutes for the
puffy, smoky little steam engine to hoist
the great block of granite into the air,
where it swung suspended over the pedes-
tai.
While the workmen were maneuvering
the stone to lower into it's final resting
place there was a sharp report, and one of
the hosting blocks broke into several
pieces. Fortunately, the ropes did not give
way. and the accident was not serious, as
it might have been if the stone had fallen.
The workmen then proceeded to block up
the stone. and the derrick beam was low
cred so that the damaged block could be
replaced. This task required some time,
but the capstone will be placed in position
before the day Is over

MUCH BAD MONEY FOUND
Chief Wilkes Men Unearth Oounterfeiting
Outfits in California.
They Also Succeed in SEEKING Con-
siderable of the Spurious Coin
Made Out There.

SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 2O.-At Piclno, in
San Luis Obippi, a complete counterfeiting
outfit has been discovered by United States
Marshal Cook. J. H. Ormandy and c. A.
Raymond have been arrested charged with
making spurious coin. The officers secured
over $500 of bad money.
Another seizure of counterfeit coin has
been made In Los Angeles. The visit Of
Chief Wilkie of the secret service to this
coast is believed to have been connected with
The attempt now being made to break up
the gangs of counterfeiters operating on
the Pacific coast.
SAN RAFAEL, Cal, June 2O-Two dies
and several bottles of acid, portions of
counterfeiter's outfit, have been unearthed
by wood chopper in the outskirts of this
place. One die was for silver dollars of
1898 the other for S. gold pieces of 1897
Both are we'll executed.
There is much counterfeit coin of this
date in circulation. About a year ago.
Charles Irwin, who operated in this vicin-
lty, was sent to San Quentin for making
bogus money. The dies just discovered
however, bore evidence of having been
made quite recently.

WANT DOLE FOR GOVERN OR
W. W. Hall Discusses Sentiment of Citizens
of Hawaii
Honolulu is Enjoying n Season of
Great Prosperity - The PO-
litical Situation.

CHICAGO, June GOWN. w. Hall. a
leading Hawaiian merchant left Chicago
last night for the east. Mr.. Hall was born
in the Islands, of an American percentage,
and has been a lifelong resident Of Homo
lulu. He says he will go to Washington
and call upon the President, whose brother,
the late David Mckinley. he knew WE'LL
when the latter was consul to the island
kingdom. Speaking of the situation and
prospects of the island, Mr.. Hall said:
ut will be year ago next Fourth of July
Stree the American flag was raised in the
Hawaiian Islands, and the country Still
presents the anomaly of republic within
republic. President Dole and his cabinet
have gone right on exercising their functions
until Congress gets around to organize a
territorial form of government. The ma
jority of people want Mr.. Dole TO be ap-
pointed governor under the new system foa
time at least He would certainly ba
much more acceptable than any American
politician who might be named. The only
other candidate in the islands who has been
mentioned Is Harold Sewall, son of the man
who ran for Vice President with Bryan.
Honolulu is enjoying an era of prosperity
almost amounting 10 boom. Sugar Is up,
and the rice and coffee plantations are do
ing well. We will have cable line within
a year or two.
1.-The Pacific trade is increasing, and is
most important. l have seen Honolulu grow
from a village to a modern city of 80 900
people, with schools, waterworks and a fire
department that is a model Our Hawaiian
constitution is a model, too, by the way.
American lawyers who have examined say
that it is an Improvement of that of the
United States
Mr.. Hall took an active part in the over
throw of the island kingdom.

TO ABANDON CAMP MEADE.
Soldiers From the Tropics Going to
''t Lake Champlain.

The War Department is preparing to ac-
commodate the troops who are to be re-
turned to the United States from Cuba and
Porto Rico during the summer at the mill
tary posts of Fort Ethan Allen and Platts-
burg, on the shores of Lake Champaign an
ideal place for the recuperation of the SOL
diers exhausted by tropical heats and
fevers. At Plattsburg there are aceommo-
dations for twelve companies and a. Ethan
Allen for eight, and it is not expected that
there will be demand for more than that
Having thus insured the comfort and
healthful placing of the soldiers who must
be detained for time in camp or post, the
War Department will abandon Camp
Meade Penna. There are now at this camp
the I'd Inmunes, one full regiment, and the
10Th Infantry, just returned from Porto
Rico The 1mmunes will be mustered out
of the service on the 22d instant, and the
10Th Infantry will start July 3 for San
Francisco, where they are to take the
steamer City of Para, sailing on the 10th
for Manila.
Meade, 1t will be abandoned, and the nee
essary orders will issue as soon as Secre-
tary Alger returns to Washington.
The officials of the War Department say
that, while they cannot but resent the per-
secution to which the soldiers at Meade
have been subjected a the hands of the
saloon keepers, aided by other elements, in
the suppression of their canteen, the actual
reason for the abandonment of Meade is
because there is no further use for the
camp there.

Dark Side of Life In kIOndike.
JOHN II. McLEAN'S AMBITION.
Believed That He Aspires to n Presi
Dental Nomination.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 20-lt is gen.
orally believed by politicians here that John
r. Mclean is planning to control the demo-
cratic state convention this year, with a
view to using whatever influence there is
in 1t in aid of his presidential prospects
next year. He evidently hopes to secure
the democratic nomination., and will at
least try to prevent the nomination of
Bryan.
Bryan refused to accept him as candidate
for Vice President on the ticket in 1896, be-
cause of his connection with fnonopolies,
and though the Enquirer, McLean's paper,
cordially supported Bryan, its owner has
not forgotten the matter.
1t is predicted that Mclean VIII be a can
didate for the nomination for governor this
year. 1t may be 50. but it seems more like
ly he will simply try to control the conven-
tton and throw the nomination TO a friend
probably c. n. Haskell-and have the con-
yention remain silent on the question of
presidential nomination.
The policy of his paper in cultivating the
controversy between Senator Foraker and
Editor kohlsaat is looked upon a part
of McLean's plan for getting into line for
preference by his party and making demo-
cratic success in Ohio possible.

serted by theiE Indian guides. they became
lost in the "Nalleypf the Shadow as they
called it. north of Peace river. On leaving
them in Doggy, 3geacherous trail, the In
dian guides declared that none had VEN
tured farther north, and they prophesed
an early death fdf the argonauts. The
men found their way to black muddy
river, which fows Into the Lard.
They crossed thfs few miles from its
source and .UanaeSed in a bleak country
to the north for weeks. Their food supplies
became exhausted. Their pack animals
died and they themselves lost hope and
energy At last they turned southwark
recrossing the Black river, and came to
the forks of the Nelson above Hellgate.
Here they lost twenty-three horses from
starvation and had to leave in swamp
majority of their outfit for want of pack
animals. Another fifty-f1ye days they lived
on barely enough to keep body and soul to-
gether and give them enough strength to
haul their decmated outfit.
At length they reached Sylvester landing,
on Dease river $50 miles from Fort Lizard.
Here hopeless of ever reaching goal. they
turned their faces southwark again and
followed Dease river to Its source in Dease
lake, made telegraph station No. l, on the
Ashcroft, and came down the Stickeen to
civilization. =

1t was announced late last evening that
Senator Waldeck-Rousseau had declined the
task of forming a new cabinet. The fail
ure of NJ. deck-Rousseau is due, it is
said, to the refusal of Camille Krantz to ac-
cept the portfolio of public works, which he
considers inferior to the portfolio of war.
held by him in the retiring cabinet. But
for this the Waldeck-Rousseau slate was
complete.
NM. Poincare and GuilIain made their ac-
ceptance of office dependent upon the in
clusiOn of NJ. krantZ. The latter beside
refusing the portfolio OF public works, ex-
pressed his disapproval of certain meas
ures which NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau proposed
to take against the generals and colonies
who recently inspired a newspaper propa-
ganda in favor of the army.
After formal consultations tomorrow 1t
is expected that NJ. Loubet will again sum-
mon NJ. Poincare
The failure of NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly difficult.
Both NJ. Casimir-Perfer and Gen. Brugere
declined to enter the cabinet. 1t is quite
uncertain whom NJ. Loubet will now sum-
mon. Possibly he may call upon NJ Sar-
rien or Paul Deschanel, president of the
chamber of deputies.
