Wilder was nominated n month ago on

To-day he backed up his protest by a verbal

against favorable action on the nomination

confirmation. The Senate has long OBJ

HAVANA, March i.-Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth sailed this morning for Tampa.
Edwin V. Morgan, the new American Min
lister, presented his credentials to President
Palma to-day with the usual ceremony. He
was accompanied to the palace by rural
guards, and a detachment of artillery stood
at attention at the entrance to the palace,
After handing the President his credentials
Mr.. Morgan made a brief speech. He said
in part that it was his good fortune that de-
termined that he should commence his
official duties in Cuba at the moment when
the Cuban people had shown their friend
ship toward the United States by presenting
to the daughter of President Roosevelt a
wedding present of exceptional value, and
also that he should arrive in Cuba with her
and her husband. They by their presence
here had wished to show the gratitude in
spired by the gift.
President Palma, in reply, said it was his
desire and that Of the Cuban people that
the cordial understanding now existing
between Cuba and the United States should
serve "a the basis OF closer friendly and
mercantile relations. Whatever means
would tend to achieve this would be adopted
by his Government. The sympathy Of the
Cuban people with the Americans, as we'll
as the special gratitude to President Roose-
welt, had just been brilliantly shown by the
general rejoicings at the visit with which
the daughter Of the President Of the United
States had honored them.

SUED FOR A MARRIAGE.
Jersey City Preacher Asked to Pay $500
for Marrying n Minor.

The Rev. Arney S. Biddle, pastor of the
Summit Avenue United Presbyterian Church
of Jersey City, was the defendant yesterday
afternoon before Judge Garrick, in the
First District Court, in a suit for the re-
covery of the statutory penalty of $500
for performing a marriage ceremony for a
minor. The plaintiff was Michael Reus
of Paterson, whose daughter, Theresa
Daisy, eloped with James Winters, n young
farmer, on january 1 last. The pair went
TO Jersey City, where they were married
by Mr.. Biddle, the bride representing her
self az 10 years old.
Her parents say that she was born on
August 2, 1888, and is still five months shy
of the maria geable age. The REFUSES began
proceedings in the Court Of Chancery for
the annulment of the marriage. While the
case was under consideration the girl bride
promised to return to her parents and
live apart from her husband for a year or
two. She ran away from home a second
time and is now with Winters.
The young folks were not at the dominie's
trial. Mrs. Reus testitied that when her
daughter left home she wore a short skirt,
Mr.. Biddle swore the girl told him she was
IL, and Mrs. Ida NJ, Coe, who stood up with
her, gave similar testimony.
The trial will be continued on March 9.
Under the law one-half the penalty goes
to the State and the other half to the person
making the complaint,

CHICAGO, March Mrs. Wilson Miner
arrived in Chicago to-day. She was met
by two women in a closed carriage.
The carriage was driven to the Yerkes
home. When Mrs, Miner looked out
and saw a group Of people in front OF the
house she waved her hand from the cab
window at the driver and cried excitedly,
"Drive on"
The carriage turned and the party was
driven to the Auditorium Annex.
1t is expected that Mrs. Miner will re-
main in Chicago several weeks, at least
until after the probating Of her late hus-
bands will on March is.
One of the first things to be done here,
it is expected, will be to have an under
standing between Mrs, Miner and Mr..
Owsley on the future status of Wilson
Miner, 1t has been said that Mrs. Miner,
in the restoration Of her confidence in him,
has decided to make him her rep rcsenta-
tive in all affairs touching the Yerkes prop
erty. This arrangement, it has been said,
will be highly unsatisfactory to Charles
T.. Yerkes and Mr.. Owsley, who will have
much to do with managing and setting
the big estate.

Special cable DeSplfch TO THE SUN.
TOXIC, March 1.-The Cabinet discussed
the naturalization Of the private railroads
yesterday from afternoon, till midnight,
Takahira Kato, the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, Withdrew from the meeting at 5
o'clock and his resignation is considered
certain. He is a son-in-law of Baron WA
saki, the banker and mine owner, and
family interests control his action.
Contrary to the previous supposition,
it is believed that the Government will
make the sale of the roads to the nation
compulsory. Seventeen lines are con-
cerned, The plan is for the Government
to pay s25o,o 900, 900 for them before 1911.
The real motive Of the unifoation of
communications is to make the roads thor
oughly available for military purposes.
A bill for their naturalization will be sub
mitted to the Diet, probably next Monday.

MAJOR GILLETTE OFT or ARMY.

Hc an Army Officer.

WASHINGTON, March l.-Maior Cassius
T.. Gillette has lost his standing in the army
by accepting the position Of chief of the
Bureau of Filtration Of the city of Phila-
delphia. which he took from Mayor Weaver
yesterday. According 10 "A clause in the
Revised Statutes, any officer of the army
who holds any civil office, cit her by election
OF appointment, and every such officer who
accepts and exercises the functions OF any
,ivil Office, shall cease to be an officer of the
army and his commission shall ~ vacated.
The law has seldom beer put into operation.
The resignation of Major Gillette has not
reached the War Department, and when
1t does it will in no way affect the status Of
his case. The fact that Major Gillette was
sworn in by Mayor Weaver leaves no alter
native for the War Department, and Major
Gillette's name will be dropped from the
list. 1t is quite likely that the resignation
will receive no action whatever, Major Gil
lette having already ceased TO be an officer.

down a decision in Chancery Chambers,

using gasolene in their garage on the Hud-
son Boulevard, Jersey City, until further
orders of the court. The Vice-Chancellor
decreed that the defendants may keep not
more than half a pint of gasolene for the
use of automobiles about to enter the
building.
The court gave the compliments, John
O'Hara and Catherine O'Hara, who live
next door to the garage, permission to in
spect the auto tanks from time to time.
The O'Haras complained that their lives
and property we're endangered by the
g~asolene stored in the garage.
Automobiles whose supplies Of gasolene
run out on trips through New Jersey
will be unable to replenish their auto tanks
at Jersey City garages in the future.
