TWO RASCALS IN CANADA.
Their Case May Gail for Amendment
of Extradition Treaty.

Cleveland Leader.
The government is sparing no effort to
bring Gaynor and Greene, who are held as
fugitives from justice in Montreal, back TO
this country for trial, and the officials of
mended for that.
These men are charged with participation
in the frauds in connection with the gov
eminent work in the harbor of Savannah,
Ga, and it is alleged that they got more
than a million dollars to which they were
not entitled. In view of the fact that Capt.
Oberlin NJ. Carter, the government engineer
in charge of the work, was convicted and
sent to prison, despite the activity of a
host of powerful and influential friends,
should serve to make the prosecution of
Gaynor and Greene as vigorous as possible.
1t would be unjust to permit these men to
escape while Captain Carter is paying the
penalty of the crime for which he was con-
victed
The proceedings for the extradition of the
prisoners at Quebec show that Gaynor and
Greene are playing a desperate game. Sew
eral days ago Marion Erwin, the repre-
sentative of the Department Of Justice,
stated that the prisoners had offered 10 pay
the government 100000 70 relieve them
from criminal prosecution. He said he had
refused to accept the proposal. and report
ed his decision to the attorney general who
approved what he had done Now the pris-
oners are trying to make the judge at Que
bee believe that the offer to settle came
from Mr.. Erwin, and that he had offered TO
accept 100000 in satisfaction of the govern
ment's claim. This Mr.. Erwin denies, de-
claring that the offer of money came from
Greene and was refused by him. If il shall
prove impossible to get these men out OF
Canada IT will be clear that the extradition
treaty is in need OF amendment.

IN BAILEY'S STATE.
Statement by Texas Senator Used as
Political Argument Against Him.

Corpus Christi CTexas) Crony.
Unless Bailey lied in the last speech he
made on the floor of the United States Sen
ate, no senator or congressman at Wash
ington can be of good service TO his con-
stituents if he is not member of the party
in power. This is an argument for the
election of Republican congressman in all
districts which want anything. In this
Fifteenth district of Texas it is a power
full argument in favor of the election of
Scott. This region has wanted much and it
has obtained only a very small share Of
what due it, Unless Senator Bailey
lied, the fault is that the district has been
sending representatives, to Congress who
imbeciles. They were Democrats and
could not get the ear of a Republican adj
ministration These needy districts have
been trying to make silk purses out of
sows' ears. There is no doubt about what
Senator Bailey said. There is no doubt
about what Senator Bailey meant. And
as he remarked I'VE may just well be
candid about it," Unless Senator Bailey

Appeal for N Coffee Trust.
Washington Post.

washington HOSt.
The Bureau of American Republics has
prepared a report for submission to the
Congress in which ii is stated that coffee
has become one of the principal articles
of commerce and has fallen completely
into speculative hands. which fact expos
es IL TO great fluctuatiOn i'm prices and
may cause, in the course of a year large
pecuniary losses to coffee growers, re-
gardess of the result that may follow
from such speculation. This remedy to
relieve depression in industry is suggested
1.-The ma jority of civilized countries have
adopted the rule of uniting the productive
forces of all articles of large consumption
In order to give strength to production and
to avoid exaggerated fluctuations in prices
Following this precedent. a well-arranged
combination that would take into immedi-
ate consideration the principal points of
importance and the necessity of devising
practical plans TO decrease the interest
generally speaking. on capital in Latin
America. especially on that destined TO
agricultural purposes, as the cultivation Of
coffee would cause the work to result
more favorably to the producer because
il would reduce the cost of production
make the accumulation OF the product
easier. the profits greater, the increase of
capital more considerable. and would
therefore. augment the productive powers
to a remunerative degree"
Thus if this suggestion is adopted the
coffee consumer may expect TO witness

Described by Mrs. Latimer.

NEW YORK. July 22.-The coroner's in
quest called TO investigate the shooting of
Albert c. Latimer at his home in Brooklyn
on the morning of July ,. was resumed to-
day. Latimer died in a hospital. All he
told of the shooting was that he was shot
in bed, and that he did not believe it was
done by burglar.
Frank Taylor testified that he had heard
shots on the morning of July 2. and that
some one cried out, Walter. Walter"
Mrs. Bella Treadwell testified that a long
time ago Mrs. Latimer said: 1T is hard to
be tied 10 a man and see some one else you
really loved" Mrs. Treadwell thought the
remark was made without any reference to
Mrs. Latimer herself.
William II. Tuthill was called. He said

he said, that he stayed at the Latimer
home two nights after the shooting. but
he did so because none of Latimers broth
ers was able to remain there.
Hannah Larsen, a servant in the Tuthill
home, corrobroated TuthilPS statement
that he arrived at his home at 11:l5. The
witness said that she could not describe
TuthilIs bicycle clothes.
Elias Kasindorf, who lives near the Lati-
mers, said he heard loud voices in the
Latimer house five minutes before the
shooting. He could the back yard of
the house, where the shooting took place,
and he was sure no one escaped that way.
Mrs. A. c. Latimer, the widow, was re-
called and asked to describe the man she
said shot her husband. She said the in
truder wore a mask that she could not
see his face, therefore she did not know
the color of his eyes, nor whether he had
a mustache. He was of medium height
He wore the peaked cap found in the
house otter the shooting. The hearing
went over until tomorrow.
LatimerS will was filed to-day. 1t dis
the will was filed a codicil written on a
prescription blank while Latimer lay on
his deathbed at st. Mary's Hospital. This
codicil, which is incoherent, reads as fol-
lows: "Codicil: 81 desire all of my among
my children only" The original will gave
the widow one-tenth of the property abso-
lutely and the income of one-third addi-
tional for life, the remainder of the estate

GREAT STRIKE POSSIBLE
SHIPPING INDUSTRY OF THE LAKES
MAY BE TIED UP.
President ID. j. Keefe, of the Long
shoremen, to Decide Whether Aid
Will BE Given Tugmen.

CHICAGO, July 22.-In the hands of one
man now rests the decision whether a tie
UT of the marine industry of the great
lakes shall be decided. This man is Pres
ident D. ]. Keefe, of the International
'Longshoremen, Marine and Transport
Workers Association. To-day as a result
of the strike of tugmen. which has been
in progress since April, the executive body
of his association empowered him to de-
eide whether the 10000 members engaged
in loading, unloading and operating vessels
on the lakes shall cease work to help the
tugmen in their strike against the tug trust
If the decision be for a fight work will be
suspended on all the iron ore, coal and
labor docks along the chain of lakes The
fact that the Tugmen's Protective Associa-
ton was admitted TO membership in the
'lcngshOremen S association, while it al
ready had strike on its hands, is taken to
indicate that its officers expect TO help. 1t
is said that the striking tugmen have for
some time endeavored to get the dock
workers mixed up in their strike. Should
a general sympathetic strike be ordered at
this time the result would be most dis
aStrOuS to lake commerce.

newed at Any Time.

JACKSON. Ky, July 22-James Cockrill,'
assassinated yesterday from upper win
DOW of the courthouse, will be buried to-
morrow morning. There was no demonstra-
tion to-day when the remains arrived from
the Lexington hospital and the town is
quiet tonight. but the general impression

Hargls faction will be on the defensive. 1t
is generally known that both sides have
their arms stored about the town and are
ready to line up at any time. Samuel Jett,
uncle of the dead boy, is expected to become
the leader now of the Cockrill faction.
With the exception of Thomas Cockrill,
now in Jail for the murder of Benjamin
Hargis, the eldest in the family is Nc
Kinely Cockrill. aged nineteen and too
young TO be made leader in a contest

take place from the Cockrill farm, near

that ne would leave as soon as the burial
Of his brother was over and very many
others are leaving the town.

A GOOD THING FOR BUSINESS.
influence of the National Convention
of Miners.
Pittsburg Telegraph.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph
When the call for a national convention
of miners was issued. about a month ago.
the prospect was regarded with gloomy
forebodings by the peSsimistically inclined,
who were quite certain that il meant a
general strike. Hopeful men pointed out
that the time for the convention was
placed quite a distance in the future thus
affording ample time for a thorough can
vassing OF the situation by the working
men, with opportunity TO weigh the prob
able results. II was also hoped that be-
fore the time came for the Indianapolis
convention 10 meet some way of adjusting
the anthracite difficulties would have been
discovered. This hope proved vain. but
the intervening weeks afforded time for
calm reflection on the part of the miners
with the result that plans were formu-
lated TO avoid a general strike and &c as
sist the anthracite miners with money
These plans met with favor in the In
dianapolis convention, and this reception
has had a tonic effect on the entire bust
ness situation. Industries everywhere were
holding their breath 10 see whether the
men who produce the coal would continue
at work or whether they would cause
paralysis more or less complete by shut
ting OF the fuel supply upon which so
many industries depend. Everybody in
business Is encouraged by the determine
ton 10 avoid a general miners strike, and
the good feeling is enhanced by the settle
ment OF the great strikes in Chicago. II

To Fight the Ship "Combine."

LONDON, July 22.-The House of Com
mons committee. appointed to inquire into
the question of steamship subsidies. was in
session this morning and examined Senator
G. A. Drummond of Montreal. Mr. Drum
mond said he believed the only hope of
escape from the control of the American
shipping combine lay through Canada.
Therefore, he advocated a speedy up-to-
date service OF twenty-five knot steamers
between Great Britain and Halifax instead
OF New York. Such a line ought TO be
subsidized to the extent of 100000 to e40O-
COO yearly for ten years, half payable by
Great Britain and half by Canada
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
told the committee he did not favor fos-
tering trade by means of bounties. He sug-
gested that the government might build
twenty-four-knot liners and allow the COM
panies to work them, the government shar-
ing in the profits.
