MINISTER MERRY's MAIL STOLEN
Costa Rican Authorities Have START
ed lnvestigatioa.

CHICAGO. June "A special to the
Tribune, from New Orleans. La, says:
Startling news comes from Costa Rica.
The correspondent of New Orleans pa
per, writing from Port Limon, under date
of May g. sends news of a serious nature
which may result In an international cpl
sode. on the night OF May ~ the post
office box Of United States Minister Mer-
ry. in the postoffice of San Jose, was
broken open and the letters therein
stolen.
The theft caused n sensation. Minister
Merry discovered that there were several
important letters In the box. one of par
ticular interest being from Consul David
son, at Managua. Nicaragua. The fact
that this letter was among those stolen
furnished, in all probability, the clew TO
the thieves Ever since the settlement
OF the trouble between Nicaragua and
Costa Rca, in which tho United States
officated as mediator. there has been con-
siderable feeling against this country be-
cause OF alleged favoritism shown to Mic
aragua. II Ia thought that the rifiing OF
the postofflce box was done by the agents
OF the party who disbelieve the sincerity
ed this country, and who stole the letter
from Managua to get proof of their sus-
picions
Minister Merry has complained to the
Costa Rican government The authorities
Of that country disavow all responsibility
for the crime, and have started an fnves-
tisation to discover the thieves.

Mclaughlin to formally issue II II the
intention at the conferences to pass reso-
buttons deprecating Rogers candidacy and
threatening II he is put up by the Demo-
cats to place middle of the-roader in
nominate against him.
VIVA. effect II has had upon the Rogers,
governor has ceased entirely, Of late, TO
talk politics Of any character, but Il Is
significant that on the day following Its
issue william Blackman and Ernest LIS
ter. of the executive cabinet, both arrived
here and had a conference with the gov
errlor
Farmer" Todd, who until quite recently
was reckoned n Rogers man and who was
known TO have travelled over the state in
the governors interests, IL active In pro-
noting the conferences. and this fact no
doubt has led to the belief that the gov
ernor knew OF the issuance OF the call.
II can safely be said. however. that. 30
far as the executive IL concerned, he was
in entire ignorance OF II until II WAS pub
lished. II Is said In this connection that
there has been a falling out between the
farmer and the governor, and that the
former has very successfully worked tho
latter for Information that will undo Gov.
Rogers when tho fall conventions meet.

TRIP FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
said to Nave Many Friends Among
the DELEGATIONS Chosen in the
West.

TACOMA, June At Is announced here
that at least six Northwestern states are
now solid for Judge Bartlett Trip for
These states are Washington, where the
movement started; Oregon, North and
South Dakota, Montana and Idaho II is
here for the FIRST time that
between members of the Washington and
oregon delegations was held at Portland
May IT, II was there decided that the del
eEations of these states should join with
the two Dakotas In forming the nucleus
of Judge Trips support at Philadelphia
Montana and Idaho have given assur-
ances that they will stand with the other
action of the Montana delegation cannot
be stated until Senator Carter has been
conferred with. Similar assurances have
tion of that state Is expected to give a
complimentary vote to their rough rider
candidate, Col. Tourney.
ing in Tacoma in April the washington
delegation instructed one OF ITS members
to write to Judge Trip and ascertain hts
views as to becoming a candidate. Since
then q reply has ben received In which
Judge Trip announces that he will 90
before the philadelphia convention As
candidate He also voices his apprecia-
tion of the support the Pacific coast Is
The most Interesting development Is the
fact that Gov. Roosevelt. OF New York.
has written a letter TO- a close friend OF
Judge Trip, in which ne expresses him
sci fas strongly favoring Trips candi-
dacy Gov. Roosevelt also states that he
means all he said in an interview in the
Chicago Times-Herald few weeks ago
In which he came out strong for Trip.
Gen. James NJ. Ashton, Of the Washing
ton delegation left recently for Philadel-
phia, holding the proxy OF National Com
mitteeman Sullivan. He stopped at Salt
Lake and Denver 20 confer with the dele
cations OF Utah and Colorado regarding
Judge Trips candidacy.
Judge Trip is a native OF Maine, and
assurances OF support from number OF
the New England delegates have been
received. At Philadelphia the delegations
supporting Judge Trip will claim that
the West Is entitled 20 the vice presiden-
tial nomination at this time. especially
IN view OF the fact that the chief issue
OF the campaign viii be expansion. IN
ed. Judge Trip and President McKin-
ley were college mates together at Union
since kept In touch with each other. which
fact IL taken 10 indicate that his nomt-
nation would be entirely acceptable to
the president.

hght between factions IN the Republican

large percentage Of those who voted with
the Republicans in 1888 will favor the Re-
