CORBETT FOR CONGRESS
HIS FRIENDS HAVE STARTED A
ROOM FOR THEIR HERO.

NEW YORK, May 16.-James J. Cor
belts friends have started a congressional
boom for their hero. They call attention
to the fact that Morrissey, a prize fighter,
was sent to the house Of representatives
and ask, Why not Corbett?
Mcclellan, present representative from
the Twelfth congressional district, has
come to be looked upon as certain to give
way to some man more closely in touch
with the '"Tenderloin," and w. A Brady,
Tom ORourke and Marcus r. Mayer al
ready have been named for the nomina-
ton to succeed him. The nomination is
all that is needed, by the way, in the
Twelfth.
George Considine, Corbett's manager, is
enthusiastic over the possibilities. To be
manager of a congressman would be the
height of his ambition He takes the af-
fair seriously and is already beginning to
pull wires. COrbett himself is modest.
Talking of the matter today, he said:
Yes, some Of my friends have been sug-
gesting my name in connection with the
congressional nomination in the Twelfth
district OF course it has come suddenly,
and l have had no time to consider the
matter Should it bear fruit and 1 be
nominated and elected it certainly would
be a greater honor than L ever had ex-
pected.
"I am not announcing myself as a can
didate by any means, but am simply in
the hands of my friends. If they choose
to run me as a candidate and think the
voters want me 1 will run.
However, L understand that 1t IS the
voters of the district and not my own
personal friends who are to elect their
representative, and 1 would like to hear
from them on the subject before L would
be willing to enter that ring, much bigger
than ba inp1OslIre 10 which I have been
accustomed.
political life, of course, has its attrac-
tions, as my friend Tim Sullivan has
found out, and should the public desire
to put me in and put in right, 1 would
stand to the finish and not dodge blow"

FOUR TAKEN TO PRISON
LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN THE
CUBA POSTAL FRAUDS.

HAVANA, May 16.-Warrants were is
sued today for the arrest of E. p. Thomp-
son, the Havana postmaster; w. H
Reeves, deputy auditor Of the island, and
Edward Moya and Judge Mascara, Gu
ban clerks in the stamp department, and
by o'clock all were lodged in the Vivac,
the tombs of Havana This was done
under the advice of the postoffice inspect
ors who arrived today. 1t is considered
now that Reeves is equally guilty with
Neeley.
Investigation as to the record of
clerk in the military department who
handled several hundred dollars worth
of stamps proves that the transaction,
so far as he was concerned, was legiti-
mate The stamps were purchased at the
request of his brother, who is a stamp
collector of the United States, for $500.
They were of the old issue, and were OBJ
tained from Neeley.
The arrest of Thompson caused great
surprise in the city. 1t is looked upon
as the precursor of many other arreS,s.
Gen Wood felt as did the special in
spectors, that it would be better to have
the suspected persons arrested, and to
give them opportunity to obtain bail than
to keep them indefinitely under a close
surveillance at a time when the detectives
are really needed for other work
The Saint Paul globe., 1900-05-17

the arrest Of the persons who committed
many of the burglaries that have been
committed on the Nerth side within the
last few months, including the porch
climbing cases at the residences of o. w.
Potter, P. M. Aldrich, Robert Lindblom
and others. The property stolen by the
porch climbers aggregates in value more
than $500O0
The girl, when arrested, had in her pos
session a costly watch and chain, which
the police assert have been identified by
Mr.. Aldrich as his property. The girl has
made full confession, in which she i'm
plicates her brother-in-law and another
man.
Inspector Heidelmeyer further states
that as result of the girls confession
he has obtained a large amount of prop
erty stolen in another town, the name of
which he at present refuses to state, and
later shipped to Chicago.

MIR. BRYAN,s CHANCES.
MIR. SewaII Says They Are Brighter
Than in 1896.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Arthur Sewall,
who was the candidate on the Democratic
ticket in 1896 with w. j. Bryan, was in
the city today. In an interview he sadc
Il think Mr.. Bryan's chances for cleo
ton are bright; very bright. In fact, I
think that he will have a better chance
than he had in 1896. OF course, this is
upon the supposition, generally admitted,
that he will be the candidate
would you accept the Democratic
nomination for vice president?" was ask
ed.
NO" said Mr.. sewan, promptly and
-emphatically.; II am out Of it; am posi-
lively out of it,
Whom will the convention nominate
for vice president?"
q cannot tell. 1t would be a mistake
to send the nomination into New England
Our candidate for vice president should
be chosen with the idea OF getting cleo
toral votes. Mr.. Bryan will not carry
one New England state. 1t might be pos
sible TO carry New York, if a campaign
without mistakes is conducted If New
York state is not honored the nomina-
ton for vice president should go to the
Central West. That would be the prac-
tical politics of the situation

STANDARD OIL LITIGATION.
Nebraska Antitrust Law to Be
Tested.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 16.-The supreme
court today ordered that the briefs Of at
torneys for the Standard Oil company be
stricken from the files for the reason
that they contain improper and offen-
s1Ve implications" toward the court. The
court also sustained the demurrer of the
attorney general to the petition of the
STANDARD. This in effect upholds the con-
stltutionality of the Nebraska antitrust
law, and advances the suit which is one
to disbar the company from the state, to
the point where the court will take testi
mony to prove that the Standard Oil
company is a trust.

at is an insult to the senate to send
him back to that body. 1t is a disgrace,
shame and humiliation upon the people of
Montana, and the senate should act upon
the resolution and show him that they do
not want him there, as he can take the

Manila are under investigation on
charge of exchanging and releasing pris-

on, the largest in the Orient, contains
thousands of prisoners. The Americans
were obliged to continue Alcalde Benito
and other officers in charge, because they
themselves knew nothing of the prison
methods, or the Filipino language. 1t is
alleged that prisonrs were freely ex-
changed, that natives with money were
allowed to employ substitutes to serve
their terms, and that various other forms

the street fair in Ottumwa, entered in
to deal whereby he was to sell his,
merry-go-round that was being operat-
ed by his son Guy, to Alex Mccullough,
of Ottumwa. The latter was to trade
a piece of land for the merry go-round,
pay $50 in cash and accept grain to
the amount of $1E0, making $1,000 for

BROAD HINT TO BRYAN.
Recent Utterance of Chairman Jones
is Deemed Warning.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 23.-What
lis regarded as a broad and official
hint to William Jennings Bryan that
he should abandon his presidential
ambitions was publically uttered by
Senator James K. Jones, chairman OF
the democratic national committee
here today. He not only expressed
doubt that the Nebraskan would seek
another nomination but significantly
added that more reasonable pre-
sumption would be that Mr.. Bryan
would decline if he was asked to run
again. Politicians regard this as 4
double barreled warning.
