DEATH OF CAPT. II. p. LEARY.
He Was the First Naval Governor of
the Island of Guam.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Navy De-
partment this morning received the follow
ing telegram from Admiral Mortimer L.
Johnson, commanding the Boston navy
yard. dated to-day: Capt Richard P;
Marine Hospital, Chelsea"
Captain Leary was relieved of the COM
mand of the receiving ship Richmond last
October ON account of heart trouble and
granted six months leave of absence.
Richard Phillips Leary was born in Balti-
more and was appointed from there to the
Naval Academy. from which he graduated
in 1860 Since then he saw much active
service, especially during the civil war.
Captain Leary was held in high regard by
his felow-sailors because of the nerve he
warships In the harbor of Apia, Samoa,
during the stirring times which wound up
in the tremendous hurricane that wiped out
the German and American navies in those
waters in 1889 Leary was in command of
the little Adams, a third-rate vessel of
antique type. and, finding the Germans
about to interfere forcibly in support of
their own candidate for the Samoan chief
tainship, he cleared the ship for action, first
placing himself in position to command
either approach, and forebade any interfer-
ence. He was not moleSted and remained
at his post until the American squadron
under Admiral Kimberley arrived, when he
was sent north in the Adams, thus escap-
ing the great hurricane. He a unique
figure as the first naval governor of the
island of Guam, which he ruled as he would

men for a certain amount Of work every
week and even prescribing the minimum
number of poultry which should be main

BOUNTY ON CUBAN SUGAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The beet-sugar
representatives in Washington are talk
ing of compromise, instead of making a
stiff fight. There is no apparent reason
why, with strong prospective backing in
the House and Senate, they should give in
to the demands of the lower sugar tariff
advocates. The appointment Of commits
sion is clearly scheme of the lower tariff
people, but the beet-sugar representatives
have fallen in with the idea and are clam
oring at the White House for the commits
sion. One of the objects Of this commits
sion is to determine reasonable bounty on
Cuban sugar. This plan, in brief is TO pay
the sugar planter a direct bounty for every
pound of sugar he raises, this bounty 10
be paid by the treasury Of the United
States out of the money received from
import duty on Cuban sugar. 1t is esti-
mated the sugar crop in Cuba this year
will amount to $4,000 tons. A bounty OF
Y cent per pound would amount this year
TO something like S7.0O0,000. This is about
80 per cent. of the duty collected last year
on Cuban sugar alone. 1t seems incredible
that Congress will really think of appro-
priating $.000.O00 annually to the Cuban
sugar planters The President gave the
matter long and careful attention to-day.

VIII Give Testimony Against the In

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Fair
banks brought to the attention of the Post
office Department to-day the complaints
from a large number of Indiana newspaper
publishers against an alleged order of the
postmaster general. The order, it was
said, required in effect that all second
class mail matter must be discontinued
when the subscription expires. The weekly
newspapers do a large credit subscription
business, and such order would have
struck blow at them.
Later in the day it developed that the
publishers were unnecessarily alarmed. The
postmaster general said the department
had received large number of kilograms
and letters asking If ruling had been made
that only subscriptions to newspapers and
periodicals which are paid in advance are
legitimate. He said that no such ruling
had been made and that he supposed the
inquiries were the result of ruling made
by the tl:irG assistant postmaster general
in the case Of a New York publication, the
subscriptions to which were mainly induced
by premiums, and which ruling applied
only to the conditions of that particular
case or to similar conditions in other
cases. The publishers of the New York
periodicals and also publishers in Chicago
the postmaster general said, had sent cir
culars misrepresenting the ruling made
He said that no ruling whatever has been
made which interferes with reasonable
credit subscriptions to legitimate pub
licatiOns. The postmaster general added
that publishers should not take alarm at
false reports which, he said are designed
to embarrass the reform in progress
