FAVOR A PARDON FOR MARSH.
Friends of the Bank yVrccker to Pc
fition the President.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-Old friends
and neighbors of Gideon w Marsh are
circulating petition TO President Nc
kiniey for the pardon of the former head
OF the Keystone Bank. He has already
served two years Of the twelve years
sentence imposed upon him for his con-
neCtion with the wrecking of the bank.
and as it was proven that Marsh never
pronted by the banks failure. his friends
declare that all the demands of Justice
have been satisfied
The death of John Lucas, the downfall
Of the bank. the arrest Of Marsh. his flight
which cost his bondsmen many thousands
Of dollars, his sensational return to stand
trial, and his sentence are all fresh IN the
public mind. Yet since the opening scene
in the case many changes have occurred.
The mother of his children is dead His
second wife has been freed from him by
law, Congress has passed special bill
reimbursing the bondsmen. OF ali those
most intimately concerned in the banks
downfall Marsh alone seems to be suf-
fering.
People living in and about Chester
where Marsh was best known, have taken
the first steps toward securing his par
don. The Republican" Of that CITY. is
leading the movement. and states that
hundreds Of signatures have already been
secured TO the petition. 1t is pointed out
that with a Pennsylvania as Attorney
General and with James Beck. who prose-
Cuted the case against Marsh, in Washing
ton. II should be easy 10 bring the petition
strongly before the President
William II. Wanamaker one Of tho
bOndsmen for Marsh, when asked TODAY
II he had heard of the petition for pardon
replied that he had not He seemed much
interested In the report however, and
asked for particulars
When asked If he favored such move
ment and il he would sign such petition
he declined TO commit himself although
his attitude did not seem unfriendly
Al the Eastern Penitentiary ii was
stated that Marsh was a model prisoner
but none OF the officers were willing TO
give the slightest expression Of opinion in
regard to the wisdom Of pardon

JEWELS WORTH $4,000 SEIZED.
Boxes Concealed in Clothes of "a Pas
senger on the Teutonic

NEW YORK, April 25.-Jewels valued
at about $1,000 were taken from John
Curry, saloon passenger on the Teu-
tonic, on the White Star Line pier, last
night Timothy Donohue, customs in
spector, found them in five boxes con-
cealed in Cmry's clothing. They were
taken to the appraisers stores.
There are eight pieces of jewelry seized
and they are all Of the finest make. Three
bracelets are setin sapphires and diamonds
one ring has a large diamond, another a
cluster Of ten diamonds, another is set
with sapphires. and fourth has a large
opal surrounded by small diamonds. A
brooch contains large opal around which
are clustered number of sapphires. Don
ohuo says he noticed Curry looking un-
usually stout. and so he called him aside
and finally searched him.
Mr. Curry appeared at the custom house
today and explained his position to the
officials. lie said that he was a banker
living in Windsor. Ontario, and that he
had been commissioned by a woman who
died in Europe TO take her jewels TO her
relatives in Canada. Letters which Mr.
Curry had upon his person proved this to
the satisfaction of the officials Techni-
cally, they said, he ought to have declared
the jewels, but his application to the Sec
retaTy of the Treasury for permission to
go on to Canada probably will be honored

FOR CLOSER RELATIONS.
VI. Jules Siegfried Advocates Reel
procity Policy Toward France.

NJ Jules Siegfried, of Paris. France,
formerly Minister of Commerce, Industry,
and the Colonies in the RibOt Cabinet,
called at the White House yesterday and
was presented to the President by the
French Ambassador. This is the first
visit NJ. Siegfried has made to the United
States since 1861, and then he called at the
White House to pay his respects to Presi-
dent Lincoln.
NJ. Siegfried. during his brief stay in
the city. is the guest of the French Am
bassadOr
Speaking of his visit to the United
States. NJ. Siegfried said he came over to
study the economic questions which are
being developed and to measure Americas s
growth in commercial and Industrial lines.
His chief interest, he said. was to ex-
tend and broaden the commercial rela-
tions between France and the United
States. In his opinion the trade between
the two countries can be materially in
creased with advantage to both cOun-
tries. The tariff, he believed. could be so
adjusted as to give special concessions
which would result in benefits to special
lines of industry and largely increase
trade on lines of goods which France pro-
duces and the United States does not.
There was a splendid opportunity. he
said, to increase the export of American
iron products in France. II the United
States would take the initiative in making
concessions, he said, there is no doubt
that France would recipTOcate in the full
est measure. While he was inclined to
free trade, the sentiment in France. he
said, was for a protective policy. But
Notwithstanding that fact he was salts
fled that a middle ground could be found
to the advantage Of both countries. The
sentiment in France toward the United
States, he said, was never more cordial
[ han at present.

sLURs FOR TWO DELEGATES.
LA Lucha" Speaks Siighting1y of
Senors LIorente and Portuondo.

HAVANA, April 25.-''La Lucha" says
that the presence in Washington of Sc
nors Llorente and Portuondo, who are
Irresponsible and incapable, will explain
to American statesmen the cause Of the ex-
travagances in Cuban politics. These two
men, the paper adds. are incapable of di-
recting their own affairs. Senior Llorente
is an honorable and well educated lawyer,
but nobody in Havana ever trusted him
with their affairs. knowing that he is in
capable of managing them. He was form
erly member of the Conservative party.
which is opposed to allowing the people
to share in the government.
Senor Portuondo. La Lucha' says. is
an ordinary lawyer, who is incapable of
dealing with the questions in hand.
The 'Diario de la Marina" says it hears
that the opinions of Senior Portuondo
caused long comments in the American
press. This, it adds, is a good instance Of
the Old proVerb to the effect that nobody
is a prophet in his own country.
The Cuban press generally makes short
comments on what Senor Portuondo says.
