San Francisco, Feb Arthur Sewall

for vice president, is among the passen-
gers of the Australia who have been re-
leased from quarantine. Mr.. Sewall
has returned from visit to Honolulu,
where he spent a month with his son,
Harold M. sewall, special agent of the
United States in Hawaii.
II have always favored the acquisi-
tion of the Philippines after the Paris
treaty. said Mr.. Sewall to-day. The
United States should stand with the ad-
ministraton in what Is being done to
hold the Philippines; they are worth re-
tanning. Mr.. Mckinley will be renom-
mated and reelected. Mr.. Bryan, too,
will be renominated but fear that he
cannot win the goal The fact is, the
country has been to prosperous to war
rant any hope of change in the ma
tional administration, and people are
slow upon the reform measures when
times are as good as they are at pres
ent. No, am not a candidate for the
vice presidency again. 1t Is poor policy
on the part Of the democracy to select a
candidate from any state where no cleo
tors can be elected. If the democrats
call me again, however, I could not re-
fuse to do my duty"

COZ. TAILOR RELEAsEs WA1KER'
Latter Was Charged With melting Sol
dicrs of tho State to Nsutiny.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 4.-Alonzo Walk
er, the stenographer who was placed
under arrest on the charge OF inciting
the soldiers of the state guard to mu-
tiny while pinning notice Of pro
posed application for an injunction up
on the door Of the office of Governor
Taylor was released to-day. The re-
lease was not made III response to the
writ Sherip Suter tried to serve on Gov
ernor Taylor yesterday. The latter
concluded that Walker had remained in
prison for sufficient time and told him
to go home. The charge of melting to
mutiny has not been quashed but
Walker may yet be brought before a
court martial, as was at one time con-
templated by the officers Of the state
guard
Various rumors were circulated in
regard to the reasons for the sudden re-
lease of Mr. Walker, among them be-
ing a report that his release by order
of Governor Taylor was in Difference
to telegram from Washington sadvis-
ing his discharge. Governor Taylor
was too busy to be seen In regard to
the ,latter, but Adjutant General Col
lier emphatically denied that any such
reason existed for Walker $ release.
The idea is absurd said General
Collier. mo such telegram has been
received either from the authorities at
Washington or from any one else.
Walker was not discharge, but simply
given his liberty until arrangements
can be made for his trial by court mar
tial When this will be has not been
determined as yet, and probably will
not be at present. Mr., Walker was not
even paroled, although he offered to
sign formal parole. We did not con-
slider this necessary as he promised to
be on hand when his trial should be
called and his word is sufficient"

The Death of GoebeI.

The death of William Goebel occur
red in Frankfort Saturday at GAS p

deathbed were Mr.. Goebels sister
Mrs. Braunacker, and his brother, Ar
thur Goebel of Cincinnati, who have
been in constant attendance at Mr..
Goebel's bedside, and DR.. MacCormick.
Justice Goebel another brother, who
had been hurrying from Arizona as
fast as steam would carry him, arrived
forty minutes after Governor Goebers
death. Oxygen was frequently admin
istered to the dying man during the
afternoon in an effort to keep him alive
until his brothers arrival, but in vain.
The train on which Justus Goebel was
travelling was delayed several hours
from various causes. Among bitter
partisans Of both parties deep grief is
manifested, already a movement has
been started to erect a monument to
Mr.. GoebePs memory, on the spot in
the state grounds where he was shot.

UNCLAIMED BANK DEPOSITS.

Albany, Feb 4.--Assemblyman Joseph

too much of a rich harvest from un-
claimed deposits and that little, If any
effort is being made to find heirs to
such savings. He claims that those
moneys are used to erect handsome
buildings for the use of the savings
institutions. To remedy this existing
evil, as Mr.. Guider terms it, he will
introduce resolution in the house that
the state superintendent of banks furn
ish to the assembly a detailed state
ment of savings banks who own and
occupy buildings exclusively for their
business, value, amount of salaries paid
and amount of interest declared and
allowed yearly to the depositors. The
institutions on their part are to furn-
ish the superintendent of banks the
names of depositors, with their parents
or trustees, together with the amount
credited to the account of each deposit
or, which account has not been increas-
ed or diminished by deposits or with
drawals for a period of ten years.

New York. Feb. 4.-The Rev. DR..
Madison c. Peters, pastor of the Bloom

pected, read his resignation to-day to
his congregation. In his letter DR.. Pc
ters said that his sole reason for resign
ing was that after years of honest and
prayerful investigation, he had come to
the deliberate conclusion that the Bible
the Protestants' only rule Of faith
teaches baptism for believers only. He
said that he could not in good con-
science continue sthe practice of infant
baptism or baptism by sprinkling. DR..
Peters was asked after the service con-
cerning his future plans. He said that
as soon as his term of service ended,
March 1, he would enter the Baptist
ministry. He said he would undoubt-
edly leave New York

BRYAN TAKES II REST.
Did Not Make n Single speech Yesterday
but Kept the Sa bbath.

Holyoke. Mass, Feb 4.-Colonel Will
liam J. Bryan instead of using Biblical
quotations to explain some political ar
gument has himself exemplified one to-
day. He has rested on the seventh day.
1t has been a lieral aay of rest, too,
for he has not made single speech, has
remained rin one city all day, and he
went to bed bright and early AS
result he Is ready to continue his cam
paigning tomorrow with even greater
vigor than he has shown during the last
busy eventful week. 1t was week of
hard work for him. During the six
days he spoke in thirteen cities, in five
of the New England states, Travelled
over 1000 miles and made a total of
eighteen speeches, varying from few
minutes to over two hours in duration.
Mr. Bryan arose at this morning and
at 1O:3O was visited by Elder David
Forbes and Elder Charles Roberts of
the First Presbyterian church, and
Hon. C. T. Callahan, and in their COM
pany walked to that edif1ce. Here he
listened to a very able sermon by the
pastor, Rev. A. r. Pennell, from the
text "And I, if 1 be lifted up, will draw
all men unto Me-" The presence of the
distinguished visitors attracted the
largest congregation the church has
ever held and there was much interest
displayed in the sermon, for it had been
supposed that some reference to his
presence would be made by the pastor.
But such was not the case, the discourse
being entirely along doctlinal lines.
Mr., Bryan sang many of the hymns in
a clear baritone voice. A scene of con-
siderable import occurred at the close
of the service, when Rev. Mr.. Pennell
introduced himself to Mr.. Bryan and
ushered him into the church parlOr,
where for half hour an informal and
particularly pleasant reception was
held The ladies' crowded around him,
to quote the words of Elder Forbes, "as
if they would tear him to pieces" When
the gentlemen left the church, those
who had comprised the congregation
massed themselves behind them at the
door sand shouted "Come again, Mr..
Bryan" to the evident pleasure of their
guest.
