Southern Republicans Would Furnish
McKinley's Running Mate. .
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. ia special to
The Journal from Washington says:
Prominent Southern Republicans are
trying to create sentiment in favor of a
Southern man for vice president with
Mckinley. The way is open for a new
man since Root and Bliss have posi-
lively refused to permit the use Of their
names. It is suggested that if South
ern politicians will stand aside and per-
NIT a soldier to come to the front that
the section may get second place on the
ticket. "Joe" Wheeler and Fitzhugh
Lee are especially spoken of. They are
Democrats, but enthusiastic expansion

JUDICIALREF0RM
Secretary Root Will Make Sweep
ing Changes in the Cuban
System.
To That End a Commission Of
American and Cuban
Attorneys,
Who Will Investigate and Make
Recommendations, Will
Be Named.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. = Secretary
Root has taken steps to institute at
once reforms in the judicial system in
Cuba, the animating purpose being to
correct as soon as possible, the Cubans
prisons abuses which have already
been the subject of representations to
the war department. General Wood
has been giving this matter his atten-
ton, and his Investigations into the
conditions of the prisons and the faults
Of the Cuba judicial system generally,
have confirmed Secretary Root in his
purpose to apply corrective measures at
the earliest possible moment. To ac-
complish this purpose the secretary has
decided to appoint a commission COM
posed of three Americans and an equal
will probably consist of Horatio Rubens,
E. L. Conant and Mr.. Runcie for, the
American side. These are all lawyers,
well versed in the Spanish code, as well
as thoroughly acquainted with Amer
lean practice.
The Cuban contingent will probably
be selected by Governor Wood from
among the members of the Havana
bar. The commission will meet at the
earliest possible moment in Havana.
and begin at once a revision of the
criminal methods, following this up
later on with amendments of the civil
code, where necessary. It is not the
purpose to outrage local sentiment and
disturb well established practice, ex-
cept in instances where rank injustice,
hourishes under it. But it cannot be:
tolerated that persons charged with
the smallest of misdemeanors and little
l~arcenies should languish, as at present,
for a year in Jail before having any
kind of a trial, and to such abuses as
this, as we'll as to the incommunicado
system, the committee will devote its
immediate attention:
Mr.. Rubens has had a consultation
with Secretary Root and left Washing
ton for New York. He expects to pro-
coed to Havana, via Miami, next
Wednesday.

Republicans Claim Goebei Must Receive
a Majority in Each House.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 15.-The Re
publican leaders insist on their claim
that the contestants for state offices
must receive a majority in each branch
of the legislature, instead of a majority
in the aggregate as claimed by the
Democrats, and this is another Of the
questions which may have to go to the
courts. If the Republican contention
is sustained it is admitted Goebel
would be in exceedingly close lines in
the senate with the chances against
him. The latest poll of that body by
the Republicans is that it contains at
least five anti-Goebel Democrats, and
Senator Hill Dem.) is ill at home with
ittle prospect of getting here during
the session. With Hill and Goebel moi
voting the Goebel senators under these
circumstances could not muster a ma
iority,

REMOVED BY WOOD.
Fiscal of the Cuban Supreme Court
Loses HIS Position.

Loses His Position.
HAVANA, Jan. 15.-'Frederic Mora.
fiscal of the supreme court, is hereby
removed for the good of the public
service. This removal is the result of
investigation into the administration of
justice under his supervision"
The foregoing official order was
handed to Senior Moro by Governor
General Wood during the morning.
Senior Morals fall has been predicted
yer since the first case was brought
against the customhouse officials and
the disgraceful condition of the pris-
ons, especially as affecting those wait
ing trial, has been generally charged
against him. For some time it has
been said that Mora had been deyoting
too much attention to political affairs
and too little to his duties.
General Woods Investigation
has shown that the Office of the su-
preme court fiscal is largely responsible
for a number of the untried cases, and
not only Mora, but a number of others
in the department of justice have been
persistently trying to block the cases
against customhouse officials whom
Collector Bliss is anxious to prove
guilty of wholesale bribery and corrup-
tiop.
Every possible influence has been ex-
erted to protect the incriminated men
from receiving the punishment which
is their due. Morals letter to the SUI
preme court regarding the customhouse
fraud Eases under trial, which has al
ready been published, was a last straw.
His dismissal had been decided upon
some days before. &

r SCORE DEAD.

Believed Not q Soul Escaped From the
Wreck Or St. Johns, N. F.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. 15.-At least
60 people persisted by the wreck Of the
unknown steamer which went on the
rocks five miles off this point Thursday
The ship is a 2-masted steamer of nearly
5000 tons and probably carried a crew
of 80, with possibly some passengers.
Many dead bodies are visible tossing
in the surf. Two of them, thrown up
in a cove, cannot be reached owing to
the heavy sea. One is judged to be
that of a woman. Boats and othe1
wreckage are strewn among the rocks
for miles.
Residents along the shore made every
possible effort to rescue the survivor in
the rigging, but lacking proper outfit
they were unable to succeed. There is
not the slightest prospect that anyone
on board escaped death, as the intense
cold would kill anyone who escaped
drowning,

Completed Portion of Siberian Rail-
road Must BE Reconstructed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Before the
completion of the Siberian railroad it
has become necessary to reconstruct
the work already done and this viii
cost not less than $685. 900. 600. In the
haste of construction and the anxiety
to get everything cheap the road vas
laid with a l2-pound rail instead Of At
24-pound rail. The bridges Were built
of wood and crossings were made fal
apart. Consequently more than &
miles an hour cannot be made on the
level with safety. To add to the danger
there has been put on the lines the
heaviest engines in existence. the com,
pound system. The light rails. the
steep inclines and the high gradiags
combined make travelling risky. On
steep inclines, owing to the light rails,
the heavy engine cannot be held and
running at a speed of SO miles an houi
turns the rails out. Therefore it has
been concluded that the road must be
reconstructed on broader lines.

KANSAS City, Jan. 15.-W. J. Bryan
passed through Kansas City for Column
bia, Mo-, where he was to speak in the
afternoon. Asked about his Minneap-
oils interview, in which he was report
ed as expressing views favorable to ex-
pansion, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 have for year been discussing
imperialism and I have tried to distin-
guish between such an extension of the
nations limits as would not change the
character of the government, and an
expansion which converts a homogene-
Gus republic into a heterogeneous en-
pire. When the %annextion of any given
territory is under consideration, the
question'isfrs whether the people want
to come in, and second, whether the
people are capable of sharing in the
government and destiny Of this nation.
I believe that all people are capable of
governing themselves, and that the Fill
ipinos should be allowed to govern
themselves, but I do not think they are
sufficiently advanced to share with us
in the government of the nation. If the
Philippine islands are annexed the peo-
pie there must either citizens or sub
jects. I am not willing to admit them
as citizens and do not believe that a re-
public can have subjects, therefore !
ask this nation to give them %independ-
ence and then protect them from out
side interference. Each proposed an
nexation must be considered upon its
own merits, but in considering these
merits the conditions of the people
should have more weight than geo
graphical position or commercial ad.

Quietness as to demand, but marked

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The appellate
division of the supreme court handed
down a decision written by Judge Pat

be paid IN that portion of the estate OF
the late George M. Pullman of illinois
actually within the state of New York.
In bonds, stocks and on deposit in d
trust company this property amounted
to $744, 1S1, and the surrogate held that
the whole of it was subject to the
transfer tax. Some of the heirs APP
pealed, claiming that, as Mr.. Pullman
owed more than $500, 600 to persons and
corporations in New York, none Of the
property found here should be- taxed.
The former decision holds, however,
that an indebtedness was general
against the whole of the estate, the.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 15.-The zar
has addressed a rescript to Count Mu-
ravieff, the minister Of foreign affairs,
highly eulogistic of the eminent quail
ties displayed by the minister in bring
ing about a happy solution, in con-
formity with the czar's instructions, of
the ~disquieting political events arising
from the Cretan instruction and the
Turko-Greek war, thus showing true
appreciation of the historic mission
which has fallen to the lot of Russia.
After remark1ng that the introduction
Of an autonomous administration in
Crete ended the agitation which had so
long troubled the repose of the Turkish
East, while the maintenance of friendly
relations with all the powers showed
the fruitful influence of Russia's peace
jul and continuous policy, the rescript
proceeds: ,
Appointed guardian of the most i'm
portant interest of the state you have
co-operated, while conforming exactly
with the indications I gave you, in the
realization of the traditional tendency
of Russia to obtain in the far East an
ice-free outlet to the sea. The agree
ment arrived at with the government
of China, relative to the cession in
usufruct Of the Kwang-Tung peninsula,
with Ports Arthur and Dalmy, while
testifying to the reciprocal friendship
and confidence which exists between
the two great neighboring empires, full
fills the evident necessities of Russia as a
maritime power and will create in the
Pacific a new centre for the commercial
and industrial enterprises of the entire
world. The negotiations subsequently
undertaken under my direction with the
British and Japanese governments led
to the conclusion of partial understand
ings, which by removing any reasons
for misunderstanding in the political
domain, enable Russia to devote her
strength to the progressive develop
ment of the prosperity of her possessions
in the far East. |* e-t @+ ~ r
81 feel particular satisfaction in re-
cording among the services you have
rendered the efforts and care you have
consecrated to the fulfillment of my
most Utmost desire to assure to all peo-
Piles the benefits of real and durable
peace. The results of the labors
of n the conference at The Hague
give me steadfast hope that solid
bases have been established
for the realization of aims dear to my
heart. All the powers had recognized
the possibility of generally settling this
question, I recall with real pleasure
your eminently useful labors and devo-
ton to the throne and I appreciate the
assistance you have rendered in in
creasing the prestige of Russia by your
brilliant execution of my directions
and views, with the object of securing
a pacific settlement of the complex
problems of external policy.
81 regard it., therefore, as an agreea-
bic duty to express to you my cordial
gratitude and I remain e your in
variably we'll disposed and sincerely
grateful. NICHOLAS"
