Spanish SwfndIers Continue to Thrive
On Old Schemes.
The United States minister at Madrid has
transmitted to the State Department a
statement, publicly made by Mr.. r. Ander-
son Of the criminal investigation depart
ment Of London, in regard to the notorious
Spanish swinding scheme. Mr.. Anderson's
statement is as follows:
'The notorious Spanish swindle' and gold
brick swindle' continue to find victims, both
in London and throughout the united king
dom. In the former fraud the bait is a
share of treasure of some kind, which is
alleged either to be buried in this country

When questioned as to the decision OF tho
Supreme Court on the extradition of Nelly
yesterday Assistant Attorney General Jas.
NJ Beck. who argued the case in the SUI
preme Court, said:
THE decision negatives every contention
of Neely's able counsel and broadly az
firms the right of this government under
the treaty OF Paris to occupy and govern
Cuba until its people have created a re-
sponsible and stable government for them
selves. 1t decides that the United States
can act free from any embarrassment due

lie and free from such constitutional lim-
tations as to jury trial. which the court
held are without application to Cuba. The
case Is unique in that 1t is the first case m
which fugitive criminal has been extra
dited without an eStradition treaty. Nelly
will now be sent to Cuba and must stand
his trial.
Secretary Root said that he was glad to
hear that the court had decided that Nelly
could be eXtradited for the reason that the
failure Of the United States TO return Nicely
to Cuba for trial for the ENLIGHTENMENT of
Cuban postal funds would give American
justice a black eye in Cuba. especially as
the United States was doing all II could
to reform and purify the Administrative Of
Justice in that island.

GAMBLERS AT OUTS.

War to the knife between the
gamblers of this city has broken out,
and it is very evident that within a
few days more gambling in this city
that is, open gambling will be a
thing of the past. As usual, the
gamblers did not know when they
had good thing, and began wran-
Cling among themselves. 1t appears
that one faction Of the gamblers are
protected by the police, while the
other factions are prosecuted by the
police. It is but natural that Chief
Meredith would protect his former
employer in the tenderloin district,
and also protect his former employ
er's friend, the Clancy brothers. A
combination has been formed with
the Clancy brothers and the Monroe
faction to rule the big rake-off
gambling games Of this city, and the
police seem to have been given a side
rake-off from these games to not per-
NIT others to be run in the city,
hence the big racket among the
gamblers at present. "When thieves
fall out, honest men get their
rights"

At the Seattle theater Sunday
Monday and Tuesday, January Is,
IA and Is, will be that well-known
and ever popular Casino review,
''The Belle of New York" After
the play has been seen by one-half Of
Europe, part of Africa and all of
America, it is pretty late to attempt
any description of it or to do more
than re-introduce it as an old friend
and welcome it back. ''The Belle of
New York" ran for nearly 200 nights
in the New York Casino, and enjoyed
an unprecedented run Of 697 per-
formances at the Shafterbury thea
ter, London. Upon its return to this
country, it returned to its old home
on Broadway and did a remarkable
business for three weeks, when it was
necessary to take it off owing to pre-
vious bookings. 1t is at present on a
triumphal tour in America, and it is
assured a rousing welcome when it
reaches this city.

An Elephant on a Farm.

James Cahill, of Roneys Point, is
the only person in West Virginia and
pro badly in the United States who
has in regular use upon his farm an
elephant which is used for farm work.
With the swaying beast hitched up to
a plOw he can turn more ground than
any of his neighbOrs with a team of
horses, and when it comes to hauling
logs the elephant will walk away with
ease with logs which the best teams
of his neighbors cannot move. The
elephant eats little more than a horse
and does many times the work OF one,
is gentle and docile and little trouble,
and Mr.. Cahill is more than pleased
with his experiment. Several months
ago a small circus breke up at Martins
Ferry and its property was sold at
auction. Mr.. Cahill, who was at the
sale, bid in few dOnkeys, the elephant
and tent, and took them home, ex-
pecting to start a small show himself
His father, Patrick Cahill, a frugal
lrishman. decided that beast of the
size of all elephant could not remain
on the farm and be fed unless it paid
for its board with labor, SO he harness
ed it up and the animal worked nice
ly. He did so well that they have
given up the idea of starting a circus,
and will keep the elephant on the
farm

Only II Years Old.

The most youthful bride in
Virginia in 10 year-old Miss Glen
ents, of Goochland. This young girl
last Monday applied to the Clerk of
GoOchland for license to marry a
young man named Hodges, 70 years
old, which that officer declined to
grant. The pretty applicant finally,
through her parents, appealed to the
judge of the County Court. Under
the circumstances, there being no
legal barrier, the Court, though ev1d-
emily again his will, ordered a license
to be issued. A minister was secured
and the marriage ceremony performed
at the brides home. This case has
attracted general attention, and with
one exception is the first one in Virgin
la in which girl of such tender years
has ever been issued license to marry.
There is, however, no age limit fixed
by law tor the female or for the male,
where the consent of parents OF guari-
an has been obtained. A number of
years ago a Case in Orange county,
where the prospective bride was pro
badly IL or IL years old, attracted at
tention. No license was, however,
issued in this instance.

GERMAN SUBSIDIES.
VIII Hanna Never Lenrn.

That Senator Hanna possesses great
tenacity of purpose and that to this is
principally owing his political and bust
ness success is well known. This
quality he again exhibits in his en-
deavor to save his ship subsidy bill in
such a very remarkable manner that
we can hardly speak of his persever-
ance, but rather of his thick headed
ness In spite of the fact that he has
owing to different causes not the slight
est prospect of reaching his goal in this
to carry on propaganda for it.
A short time ago his chief argument
was that the development of the Ger
man merchant marine could be traced
to the subsidy and therefore was de-
serving of our imitation. We took
occasion, forthwith, to give the infor
nation that Senator Hanna was gross
ly in error, and he has allowed this
argument to drop, but has Immediately
tAOuShC Out a hCW CliC. A4C INV <t0-
mits that the German government di-
rectly subsidies only those lines which
maintain the intercourse with the
colonies and which could not support
themselves without aid. But he as
serts, as we are informed from Wash
ington, that the German government
grants especially favorable railroad
freight charges upon products intend
ed for export and consequently puts
freight charges on the sea, which
amounts to the same thing as an indi-
rect support to the merchant marine
by the imperial government. In this
assertion MI Hanna is again g patly in
error.
Upon Oct. l, 1898. universal specific
tariff was introduced upon the collect
i've German railroads which rests upon
the principle of making lower charges
for great distances, in fact a sort of
zone tariff. In passing we may remark
that this policy was previously follow
Gu mere VIII us ny Tue ldIiI Oduo, OuI
was warmly opposed by the public.
Through the well known "long and
short haul clause of the interstate
commerce law discrimination of any
sort is expressly forbidden.
In the German railroad tariff policy
this idea is particularly aimed alto
furnish the agricultural products of
the east market place in the west-in
fact, a partiality to the same at the ex-
pense of industry which has given
cause enough for complaint over the
favoritism to the agrarian and the in
habitant of the east of the Elbe. Ex-
cept in this particular the new specific
freight tariff admits of no special ia
yor for certain wares that arrive for
export, and it cannot. therefore, be said
that by this means higher shipping
freight could be possible. With this
the entire Hanna argument falls to
pieces. We are curious to see what
Senator Hanna will now think out for

Withdraw the Bill.

We have hoped that the promoters Of
this bill would withdraw it after the
scathing public exposure of it's real
character and purpose. The continued
demand by prominent Republicans for
the passage Of it has been serious and
deplorable political blunder. We trust
that even now those who have been led
to press for the enactment Of it can be
induced to remove it from the public
view and consign it to some obscure
resting place fro1s which 1t can never
be brought to light again. But if they
shall persist in their folly it will be the
duty Of those who oppose them to pre-
vent the passage of the bill by all hon
orable means and to make the major
fty against it large enough to discour
age effectively the support of such prof.
