Not Allowed Bail.

Havana, March 27.-Estes G. Rath-
bone. the former director of posts, who
was arrested last night after having
been sentenced the day previous by the
audencia court to ten years imprison-
ment and to pay a fine of $35,324, as a
result of his connection with the Cuban
postal frauds. remained in the Vivao
prison all night. Today he was taken
to the carca (jaiD, accompanied by a
number of friends. Rathbones bonds
man, Senior Lopez, a Spanish merchant,
went to court this morning and announ-
ced that he was willing to furnish
bonds in any amount, but bail was alb
soIutely refused.
Acting Governor Scott Says the case
he cannot intervene In the matter Of
fixing bail, if the court refuses to ac-
cept bail.
w. H. Reeves was also removed to
Jail on an order of arrest. He was
formerly deputy auditor of the Cuban
postoffice department. and was sem
fenced with Rathbone and C. r. w.
Nelly, March "a, to ten years impris-
onment and to pay fine $35,516 for
misrepresentation Of postal funds.
Counsel for Rathbone and Nicely will
appeal the cases of their clients. They
have not yet received copies of the SEN

$4,000 is Cancelled by the fact that he
has been put in prison. Reeves bond

and Buckmaster started toward the
door Furthmann placed himself in
front of his client, and, turning to
Ruckmaster he shouted at the top OF
his voice:
IF you attempt to touch that man
without a writ will kill you on the
spot"
Buckmaster retorted that the courts
of Wisconsin could not be dictated to
by Chicago lawyers, and Furthmann
twice repeated his threat.
The spectators fled from the room
and the commissioner leaped from the
bench and ordered the under sheriff to
desist from any efforts to arrest Caster
without a writ from q higher court.
The attorneys at once left the court
room and hurried to the circuit court,
which was In session at the time.
The district attorney here took the
aggressive step and at once secured as
sistant counsel to assist him in getting
out bench warrant for the arrest of
Caster in order to get the case out of
the hands of Court Commissioner
Baker Baker held his ground and also
appeared in court, presumably to de-
fend his action.
At the time the attorneys reached the
courtroom Judge Belden was hearing
another case, but the attorneys man
aged to present their grievances in
writing at once.
1t is probable that the case will go
farther and that an effort will be made
to have the court commissioner re-
moved from office.

RECIPROCITY MEN ASSURED.
Think Their Measure Can Be Reported
Without Recourse to Democrats.

Washington, March 27.--As result
of numerous conferences Wednesday
among republican leaders of the house
the advocates Of Cuban reciprocity be-
came confident late in the day that the
measure could be reported from the
ways and means committee by repub-
lican votes without reliance on demo-
cratic votes and without amendment.
This was a reversal of conditions
supposed to exist earlier In the day.
when the friends of Cuban reciprocity
were said to be one vote short of the
necessary number of resist amend
ments and to report the bill.
In view of the changed conditions
Chairman Payne has under considera-
ton the advisability of calling special
meeting of the ways and means COM
niittee the latter part of this week in
stead of waiting until the regular meet
ing day next Wednesday, to pass on the
Cuban bill
No final determination has been
reached, however, altho the return of
Grosvenor today probably will bring
about an early arrangement.

Edmund Furthmann, of Chicago, who

The quarrel arose over the refusal of
Commissioner Baker to render a deeis-

attorney, and, turning to Deputy Sher-
if Fred Reinold, ne ordered him to take
Caster at once before the circuit court.
With this Furthmann sprang to his feet
and tearing off his top coat, defied the
officer and the district attorney to lay
hands on Caster.

CASE OF DIR. SWALLOW.
Notable Church Trial Will be Held in
Transatlantic.


Bellefonte, Pa, March 27.-Scores of
delegates and visitors have arrived for
the thirty-fourth annual session of the
M. e. church, which opened here last
night. Unusual interest is manifested
in the proceedings from the fact that
the conference is to try DR.. S. C. Swal-
low, the prohibition candidate for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania in 1898, on
charges which have been preferred
against him. DR.. Swallow, being under
suspension and not entitled to the free
entertainment accorded other minis
ters, has engaged several rooms at the
Bush house, and is on hand with legal
counsel prepared to fight for what he
terms his rights. Among the delegates
on the field here there is much discus
sion as to the manner of procedure
to be accorded the Swallow trial. Many
object to the Swallow matter being
ventilated in open conference and urge
that special committee be appointed
to hear all the evidence. To this mode
of procedure DR.. Swallow is averse, it
open conference; and, should he fail in
ILLS, VIII QeItlduQ. Illdl the EOIQInlCU3elS
findings be accorded the privilege of
open discussion in conference before a
vote is taken.
Interest in the matter is heightened
by the report that DR.. Swallow has
come prepared to file counter charges
and specifications against Rev. DR.. ].
w. Hill, of this city, who was foremost
In the prosecution of the doctor before
an ecclesiastical court. DIR. Swallows
accusation against DR.. Hill is said to
cover wide range, including perjury
lying fraudulent transactions, SANDER
and libel. 1t is intimated that DIR. Swal-
low has been raking up the alleged re-
cord of DR.. Hill at Fostoria, Ohio. Min
neapolis and Ogden, Utah, where he
was formerly stationed. Altogether,
with the charges and countercharge,
Bishop John M. Walden, of Cincinnati,
who will preside over the conference,
will undoubtedly have his hands full.

Brewers Likely TO Strike.

Rochester, N. Y, March 27.-The in
dications of a strike of the brewery
workmen which has been threatened
for some time, past are becoming more
pronounced. Last night nearly 900
members of the local unions met in ex-
ecutive session and the matter was
thoroughly discussed. A communities
ton from Secretary Bradley, of the
Brewers Association, was read, but ac-
ton on it was deferred until the arrival
Of Chairman Pommer, of the national
executive committee, who is expected
here next week. In secretary Bradley's
communication the answer of the
brewers to the contract submitted by
the local unions for the ensuing year
was received. The brewers refuse to
sign the contract mainly because they
will not bind themselves not to dis
charge any employee without approval
Or consent of the brewery workers.

IMPORTANT MINING VENTURE.
New Concern to Bid for the Great

Pittsburg, Oct. 31.-Work has just

Guffey & Queen, the well known oil
producers, associated with the old Car
