DUBLIN JEWELS RESTORED
RETURN TO CASTLE AS MYSTERI-
GUS AS VANISHING.
Persons of Noble Lineage Mentioned
in Connection With Discovery at
Pawnbroker's Shop.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star. .
DUBLIN, August 13.-When the valuable
jewels of the Order of st. Patrick were
missed last month from the strong room in
Dublin castle in which they were kept the
police limited that the mystery would be
explained satisfactorily and that the valu-
ables would be restored.
A castle official Is responsible for the
statement that the grand masters star and
the collars. which were among the missing
articles. have been returned, and in we'll
informed circles it Is limited that the jewels
were found in a high-class pawnbroker' s
shop, where they had been pledged.
Various persons of noble lineage are men,
toned in connection with the mystery, but,
as matters now stand, it would be unwise
to accept the rumors.
Mr. Birrell. the Irish chief secretary, Is
to be asked In the house Of commons
whether the Jewels have been returned or
redeemed and under what circumstances
The police refuse to say whether the jew
els were found or not. but the fact that
they have been withdrawn from the de-
tective official missing list Is suggestive

BoNAPARTE A BOSS EMERITUS.
Republicans Have a Fine opportu-
nifty Now, He Says.

Attorney General Bonaparte is not sure
whether or not he will attend the republic
can state convention at Baltimore We'd
tomorrow or Thursday when he will prob
ably talk over political matters with some
of the leaders. When asked about the
political outlook of the republicans he
said:
THE republicans have an opportunity,
but whether they will be able to take ad
vantage of it is something that the future
only can show"
What do you mean by taking advan-
tage' o."
Whether they will be able to select
such candidates as will enable them to
take advantage Of the undoubted dssatis-
faction there is with the democratic state
ticket. l have every reason to believe
there is much dissatisfaction among GER
tain classes of democrats"
What course should the convention
pursue as to candidates?'
Il would hardly say anything about
that because l do not feel that have the
responsibility. Two years ago 1 had a
can campaign, but after the Poe amend
ment was defeated l thought 1 could re-
gard myself as a boss emeritus, and have
acted on that principle. AS some other
gentlemen have the responsibility Of deal
ing with the situation l do not think l
ought to embarrass them by any public
express of my own opinion. Both Mr.
Gather and Mr.. Goldsborough are good
men. Ex-Representative William B.
Baker of Hartford county has been men,
toned to me for the nomination, but do
not known how serious his candidacy is"

FLORIDA FOR ROOSEVELT.
So Says Capt. Coombs, Here for
Patronage.

Capt. ]. N. Coombs, republican national
committeeman of Florida was at the De-
partment of Justice today with w. B..
Shepherd, United States attorney for the
northern district Of Florida. Mr.. Coombs
presented Mr.. Shepherd to Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte as the candidate of the re-
publcans Of Florida for United States dis
trict judge to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Swayne, who was tried
In the United States Senate on impeachment
proceedings some years ago. Mr.. Coombs
stated that not only were the republicans
unanimous for Mr.. Shepherd, but that he
was Endorsed by the democratic governor
and state officers of Florida, by bankers and
business men and by most Of the members
of the bar of the state. 1t is understood
that President Roosevelt will act upon the
recommendation of the Attorney General,
which will be made at early date.
Speaking of presidential politics, Mr..
Coombs said: President Roosevelt will have
the delegation from Florida to the next
national convention. We are for him for
another term, and We do not believe he will
decline in the face of the overwhelming de-
mand that will be shown to exist for him.
No, We will not be for anybody else, as we
do not believe the people want anybody
else

FRANCo-AMERICAN TREATY.
Reciprocity Arrangement May Not
Be Signed This Year.

1t Is said at the State Department that
developments in the matter of the conclu-
sion of the new reciprocity arrangement be-
tween America and France are not expected
in the near future, or indeed until well
along into the fall. 1t is even possible that
the projected new arrangement will not be
signed this year. So much public interest
has been excited by the German-American
reciprocity arrangement concluded last
June that 1t may be deemed advisable by
the admins tration authorities to allow Com
gresS at the next session to express its
opinion upon a general extension Of the ex-
listing reciprocity arrangements before SUBJ
hitting to that body any new arrangements,
other than that with Germany.
That arrangement would not necessarily
come before Congress, section 8 of the Ding
ley act authorizing the executive branch OF
the government to make such arrangements
without reference to the Senate or to Con-
gress. But in the case Of the new German
arrangement. in addition to the changes al
ready made in the customs regulations in
this country, substantial notifications of
the administrative features of the existing
Dingley tariff act have been promised To
Germany, and this premise cannot be re-
deemed except by the act of Congress. so
that the subject is sure to come to the fore
early in the approaching session, with the
possibility of provoking q long tariff de-
bate.

Warner and the Pension Office.

Representative William A. Calderhead of
Kansas. has been in the city the last few
days attending to departmental business.
When at the pension bureau yesterday he
remarked that the administration of Com
missioner Warner Is very popular with the
boys out his way; he hears fewer COM
plants from the old soldiers of delay in &C.
ton on their claims than formerly. and
there seems to be a feeling of confidence
in the business ability of Mr.. Warner to
