Soe ieion ee MANY INCENDIARY FIRES ae etip ASHLAND, Ore., November 19.—The Southern Pactfic Company is trying to se- cure patents to all unoccupied mineral lands lying in the odd sections within the limits of the railroad grant, covering the most valuable part of the southern Ore- gon mining district. The railroad has re- cently been making surveys of lands and filing lists with the land office at Roseburg for the purpose ef securing title. Public meetings have been held in several towns, at which the acticn of the railroad com- pany has been denounced. By the terms of the charter of the Ore- gon and California Railroad Company, granted July 25, 1866, the government gave to the company all of the odd-numbered sections of land within a strip twenty miles wide on each side of the railroad, but stipuiated that mining lands be ex- cepted, and, of course, that no vested rights in other lands by reason of prior posses- sion, or otherwise, be interfered with. The railroad surveyors have lately reached the mining district west of Rogue river valley, and that {s the cause of all the trouble. A survey 1s made of unoccu- pied lands and it is filed in the usual form s_non-mineral. The people claim that the land is wholly unfit for agricultural ues, and that the company ts*simply trying to get ‘hold of valuable mineral lands under the provis- tens of its non-minera) charter. Special committees of two men have been appointed from each mining district, and they are directed to take counsel with those in their districts who have protests and contests to file, and to procure such information regarding mineral lands in their districts as may be of use to the gen- eral committee. A large number of con- tests will be filed at once. —— CONTRACTOR PAYNE ARRESTED. A Preminent Los Angeles Man Charg- ed With Embezzlement. DENVER, Col, November 19.—James W. Payne, a preminent citizen of Los Angeles, and a contractor of cereal supplies for the United States military posts west of the Mississippi river, was arrested last night at a hetel in this city on a charge of embezzle- ment and felony. The arrest was made at the telegraphic request of Chief of Police Glass of Los Angeles. ‘The specific charge against Payne is em- bezzlement of moneys received on account of his contract from chief quartermasier of the department of the Colorado, Major b. B. Atwood, with intent to defraud his bondsmen. Payne has had « contract for a number of years to supply many military posts in the west with cereal supplies. His present contract amounts to over $20,000. On his bond, to secure his fulfillment of the contract are two prominent citizens of Los Angeles. It is said that some time ago he borrowed some money of them,promising to pay them out of the money received from the War Department. In order that they might be doubly secured for the loan he gave them power of attorney to open his mail and hold any drafts or remittance that it might con- tain. This arrangement seemed perfectly agreeable to the bondsmen. According to the detectives who arrested him, and the allegation that 1s the basis of the criminal charges, Payne shortly after- ware, on Noveinber 12, wrote to Quarter- muster Genera! Atwood that there were many men of his name in Los Angeles, and, in order that there might be no miscarriage in the delivery of his letters, he directed that future drafts might be sent to him at a new address. : Major Atwood in reply sent him a draft for $1,400. His bondsmen did not learn of this action on the part of the contractor until their suspicions were aroused by re- cetving no letters addressed to him bearing the government stamp. They instituted an inquiry and learned that one of the period- feal payments on account of the contract was overdue, and a telegraphic inquiry was sent to the military headquarters in this city to ascertain his address. The an- swer revealed his action, and they took steps to secure themselves. Payne in the meantime left California for Colorado. He arrived in this city on Satur- day night. He denied the charge of em- bezzlement strenuously. “I do not see,” he said, “how they can chirge me with embezzlement, as I only usel my own money. I gave my bondsmen a power ef attorney, but that did not pre- vent me from attending to my personal business, nor subjugate my individual liber- ties. The drafts were my own personal property, and I cashed them as such.” ——_--——= EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS. MORE Extent of the Casualties Caused in Italy. ROME, November 19.—Dispatches from the earthquake-shaken province of Reggio Di Calabria say that more slight shocks were felt in that district yesterday and last evening. Although no further damage was done, the inhabitants continue terror- stricken, and numbers of people are flecing from the towns into the country. Thirteen persons were killed and over fifty injured at the village of Seminara. ‘This village is nearly destroyed. At Palmi, where nearly all the houses are ruined, seven persons were killed and fifty injured. Numbers of houses at Malocehio and Terranuovo were damaged. Although nobody was killed or injured at :hose places, their populations are camping out in the fields. ‘The troops in the province of Reggio Di Calabria are rendering all the assistance possible te the endangered inhabitants. Two violent shocks of earthquake were felt last evening at Milazzo, on the north coast of the isiand of Sicily. The terrified inhabitants fled from the town and spent the night in the open air. Sees TERRORIZED BY FIRESUGS. Incendiary Band at Work at Spring- field, IL. SPRINGFYELD, Il, November 19.—A reign of terror has been instituted in this city by incendiaries. They have destroy- ed about twenty stables and outhouses during the past ten days, and on Saturday night four fires were burning at once, and the entire fire department was busy. Sev- eral horses and much valuable property have been burned. The police have so far been unable to detect the perpetrators. Last night a climax was reached in a bold attempt at murder. James Brennan, a young man, living on Carpenter street, went to his stable to feed his horses and found two men setting fire to the barn. He started to give the alarm, when he was seized and choked into inseasibili He made one cry that was heard by Percy Casereilgh, a neighbor, who ran to his rescue, dragged him out of the burning building and extinguished the fire. The firebugs escaped. ————— Rid the World of His Pre: ec. WILKESBARRE, Pa.g; November 19.— Andrew Juka, the Hungarian who attempt- ed to murder his wife at Hazelton on No- vember 12, committed suicide in the jail here early this morning by hanging.

The Boy Who Stirred Up Two Conti- nents TT in Texa: NEW YORK, November 19.—Edward Webster, the young man who, while attend- ing school in France, led the police of Paris a chase by disappearing from the train be- tween St. Lazarre station, in Paris, and Colombes last January, is the hero of an- other misudventure. He now les ill in the Portland Hospital of Dallas, Tex., and his mother, Mrs. Theodore Conkling, has gone post haste to his bedside from her home in the Hotei Marlborough. At the time of the French affair the police sought for him for three months, and then decided that a body found in the Seine was that of the young Amerizan school boy. His mother partially identified the body. About two months later the boy was found alive. He had become dissatisfied with the school at which he was studying. His mother then brought him back to America, and he was sent on a visit to Texas as the guest of Col. Hughes, on a ranch at Childress. The boy, according to his parent (his mother has: married a second time) ts worth nearly half a million dollars, the value of the estate left by his father, “Jack’’ Web- ster, who was a member of the produce exchange at the time of his death. Although only eighteen years old, young Webster weighs 180 pounds and is six feet two inches in height. > THE SILVER MEN. PLANS OF Will Form a New Party if the Repub- Heans Reject Them. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., November 19.— The Gary, 8. D., correspondent of the Jour- nal wires as follows: It would scarcely be expected that infor- mation revealing a great national con- spiracy to rule or ruin the republican party should be found in this unimportant village. Nevertheless, my information is so decisive and thoroughly authentic that I have no doubt of the truth of what I have to tell. My informant is a gentleman of veracity, who is acting as amanuensis to one of the leaders in the movement, and I have long known him to be reliable. In short, then, the story he tells 1s thi For several months an understanding has existed among the leading men of the silver states that an emphatic demari shall be made that the republican platform of 186 shall contain an unequivocal decision in favor of unqualified free coinage of silver and thet in the event of fatlure of the re- publicans to so declare a new party move: ment shall forthwith be sprung, with a two-plank platform, declaring simply for protection and free coinage. ‘The management of the movement is largely in the hands of Senators Jones, Stewart and Pettigiew, and they are look- ing to Senator Cameron as a presidential candidate in the event of the birth of a new party. ‘The results of the recent election have given the leaders renewed confidence, 4s they now believe they will be able to absorb the remnants of the populists and secure through the protection plank the adhesion of the labor vote of the east. Thus they hope to centralize the entire free silver strength and much of the labor vote of the country. My informant is positive in the declara- tion that the republican party will be forced to either adopt the silver plank or be destroyed, and this intention to rule or ruin is a fundamental teaet of the move- ment, and it is even said that Senator Cameron has already consented to head the revolt, » —_——-— A LEADING PE YLVANIAN, Death of State Senator George Ross at Doylestown, DOYLESTOWN, Pa., November 10,—Sen- ator George Koss died at his residence in this place early this morning from Bright's diseasé, aged fifty-three. For several weeks Senator Ross had been a sufferer, and most of the time was confined to his bed. His illness assumed an alarming phase last Friday night, and since that he has grown steadily worse, being conscious only at intervals. Senator Ross was a district delegate to the national demoucratic conventions of 1s76, ISS4 and 155s, and aw delegate at large to the national convention of Is, He was the democratic candidate for Con- gress from the seventh congressional dis- trict in ISS4 and IS8s, but was defeated by Ns republican opponent.

NEW LONDON, Conn., November 19.— The little torpedo boat Ericsson went out again early today for her official speed trial. The weather 1s clear, with a light northwest wind blowing, which is aot cx- pected to interfere with the trial. Jt is anticipated that the wind will increase in force slightly late this afternoon, but iz is thought that the speed trial of the torpedo boat will be finished early and will not be materially affected by the winds. her speed trial is finished her steering gear will be thoroughly tested and all of her machinery examined. It is not expected that she will return to this harbor until about 5 o'clock this afternoon, aoa s Health Officer Jenkins’ Trip. BERLIN, November 10.—Dr. W. T.

WHAT THE LAST ADMINISTRATION LEFT at—tr Amount Borrowed Sincg and That Obtained in Exchange. —————_ EXPENSES OVER RECEIPTS eters Senator Platt of Connecticut, who has been spending a day here, commenting upon the administration's financial policy, said: “I see that the administration has made another call for bonds. In my speeches during the campaign I predicted that such would be the result. Democrats and re- publicans alike in the audiences told me that they thought that I ‘was talking through my hat.’ The issue of the call has verified my _predic- tions. I did not see how it could be other- wise. Yet it is a matter of continuing wonder, and will, undoubtedly, be a subject of continuing comment, that a bond call was necessary in a time of profound peace. The question will very naturally be asked, ‘What has become of the gold reserve?’ What Was in the Treasury. “On the Ist of March, 1893, the republi- can administration transferred to Mr. Cleveland's administration reserved gold to the amount of one hundred and three mil- lions of dollars. Since that time the Cleve- land administration -has borrowed, includ- ing a premium, fifty-eight millions of dol- lars. The treasury has obtained from the New York banks by exchange twenty mil- lions of dollars in gold. This is an aggre- gate of one hundred and eighty-one mil- lions of dollars in gold, in round numbers, which the Cleveland administration has re- teived since It entered into power. There has been shipped from this country abroad to October 1, fifty-five millions of dollars. It 1s assumed that this latter sum came from the Treasury Department. What Shculd Be and What Is. “There should still be in the treasury, on the basis of these figures, one hundred and twenty-six millions of dollars gold reserve. But, at a very recent date, the treasury returns show that there !s a veserve in the treasury vaults of only about sixty-one millions of dollars. The difference between one hundred and twenty-six millions of dollars in gold, which, according to the figures above stated, should be on hand, and the sixty-one millions of dollars act- ually in the treasury vaults, is sixty-five millions of dollars.” “Where is that sum of sixty-five millions of dollars?” “These figures are given in round num- bers; but the exact amounts which would very nearly approximate to this sum can be ascertained in the warrant division of the treasury departmeat. | Used for Current Pxpenses. “The probability is that this sixty-five millions of dollars, which should, in my opinion, have been treated sacredly as a gold reserve, has been used for current ex- penses. Whether the gpvergment has any right to use a gold fun@, obtained in great measure, under the spetie resumption act, to pay the current eXpenditures of the government, is a matter which may be gravely questioned. The specie resumption act itself would not seem to warrant the use of any gold obtained from the sale of bonds to maintain the parity between our various kinds of currency for the ordinary expenditures of the government. But it appears that during the first fiscal year of this administration tne expenditures ex- ceeded the receipts by, sixty-nine millions of dollars. Since the end ot the first fiscal year of the Cleveland administration the excess of expendiqres over receipts has brought the deficit up to about ninety mil- lions of dollars. That is the sum which this administration has expended over the current receipts, 7 “To the Ist of September last the demo- crats claim that the republicans were re- sponsible for this deficit, because it was in- curred on account of republican appropria- tons, Deficit Under the Wilson BIN. “But the democrats passed the Wilson bill, which they asserted would yleld ade- quate revenue for all the necessities of the government. Yet, during the months of Septemter and October, when the demo- crats certainly could not claim that the republicans were in any way respensible for the expenditures, the democrats un- der their own appropriations, and their own tariff law, had a deficit of twenty- one millions of dollars, being the excess of expenditures over receipts. “Their income tax will not become avall- able until next July, They have as yet received nothing from the sugar tax, be- cause the sugar trust, before the passage of the law, secured possession of some eight hundred thousand pounds of sugar, upon which they paid no duty. The gov- ernment may soon expect to receive some duty from sugar. Mast Borrow Gold. “But there is no way in which the gov- ernment can get gold into the treasury except by borrowing it. The payment for customs in gold has practically ceased. The silver certificates, being a legal ten- der for customs, the customs dues are all paid either in silver certificates or in greenbacks. Greenbacks could be refused, because by their terms they are not re- ceivable for custums. But for the fact that they can be immediately exchanged and silver certificates be secured for them, they are taken for customs dues. If any- body ean conceive any way in which the treasury can get any gold into the treas- ury except by borrowing it, I should be glad to be informed how it can be done. “We have more than eight hundred mil- lions of doliars of legal tenders outstand- ing, which the government is bound to redeem at its treasury, whenever present- ed. If there is gold to go abroad, the gold must generally come out of the treas- ury. It hay been suggested that certain payments might be made in silver; but the fact that the Secretary of the Treas- ury permitted the impression to get abroad that some cf the obligations of the gov- ernment might be p: in silver was the direct cause of the alarm which preceded the recent panic. A Promise Not Fulfilled, “The democrats promiged, when the Sher- man silver law was repéaled; to bring in a bill to put the financés of the country upon a sound basis. They ‘never did it. They never attempted fo do it. If, under a republican administration, we had any euch conditions as now exist, with re- spect to our finances, it wotld have been a signal fot democrattt attack all along the line. The republicans have been so overwhelmed with the danger of the situ- ation that they have hesitated to let the people know what the! situa@ion actually is.” . ——- e+ Driven Back to Old Methods.

Dissatisfaction With Mr. Cleveland's With the Rule of Policies a the Cockrell-Vest Dynasty. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, November 17, 1894.. ‘The general result was such a stupendous. surprise that particular features of the late election, however much they may im- press certain localities, are lost sight of by the country at large. Any other year the election of a republican legislature and state ticket in Missouri would have been considered almost a miracle, and the re- turn of ten Congressmen out of fifteen by that party an accomplishment of the im- possible. ‘This has been one of the rock- ribbed states about whose democracy doubt was never expressed, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina and other states farther south have become involved in | local disputes and wavered. Not so Mis: souri; it has been only a question of ma- Jorities since the election of B. Gratz Brown in 1870 for governor, at the ac- couchement of the liberal republican move- ment. Causes of Democracy’s Dethronement. In view of this fact, it is interesting to trace the causes of democracy’s dethrone- ment. On the whole, that party has honest- ly administered the affairs of the state. ‘There have been one or two scandals and a defalcation in the state treasurer's office, but the scandals were reformed and the defaulters sent to the penitentiary. The taint of old fogyism has been too much in evidence at the capitol, but this very fogy- ism has perhaps been a restraint, the effect of which was .eminently respectable, if somewhat non-progressive. Neither could a voter complain ‘that public servants were extravagant. Indeed, the other extreme has been the rule, and the lawmakers have at times been disgustingly stingy in ap- propriating money for public use. The cause of the upheaval, therefore, lies deep- er than mere dissatisfaction with the party in power. Dissatisfaction With Cleveland's Poli- olen. Here in the west there is widespread dis- satisfaction with Mr. Cleveland's policies, and by this assertion the correspon.tent does not wish to convey the idea that all the shouting democrats here have been free silver men, or even ardent tariff reformers. There ts a very large mining population in the state that is almost solidly opposed to tariff reform at all. Justly or unjustly, there is a belief that the President is an ingrate. It would sound better to use the adjective ungrateful instead of the noun ingrate, but this is the expression most often heard here when Mr, Clevelaad’s character is being discussed. The orthodox in the party lost faith in him when he up- pointed Gresham Secretary of State and surrounded himself with the Olneys and Bissells for executive advisers. It is said that but one man in Missouri had heard of Olney when he was appointed, and that, man, like the Attorney General himself, is a corporation lawyer, being general attor- ney of a railroad. Nobody in or out of Mis- souri knew Bissell, the democrats declare, and they poke fun at Hoke Smith because of his grotesque name. The failure to call an extra session of Congress to deal with tariff right after the inauguration, and the crowding of the tarifr question to the background when the extra session was finally called, of course, had as much effect, and, perhaps no more, in angering democrats in Missouri as it did in angering democrats all over the country. The issuing of bonds was more severely condemned here than it was in a great many communities, for, as has been al- ready stated, the folks out here are con- servative and violently opposed to official debt. The Hawaiian incident did not in- fluence the vote one way or another. An inland people did not take as much inter- est in such affairs as a seagoing population on the coast. It is doubtful if any con- siderable number of democratic voters in the state know which ocean Hawai ‘s in, or whether that country or Cuba is far- thest from the mainland of North America. The reasons cited account for the demo- cratic stay-at-home vote, which, by the way, was neither so large nor so inactive as democratic papers say it was. There remains, then, to be examined the con- siderable acquisition to the republican party from sources hitherto democratic. Acquisition to the Republican Party. This acquisition was drawn mainly, if not altogether, from the “kid element of the dominant party. The Cockrell-Vest dynasty has been irritating the young men for years. They have felt that they were being neglected and have hoped in vain that the long lane would at last turn. It didn’t, so they jumped the fence and be- gan to browse in republican astures. Whether they will continue to do this de- pends first on the quality of the feed they tind there, and second, on the inducement given them by their late associates to again get in the middle of the road. This view of the case is strengthened by re- ports that come from all over the state to the effect that court house rings, so called, have been smashed right and left. In nearly every county men have been turned out who have held the offices for twenty years. Another element that has left the demo- cratic party, and in this case perhaps for good, is found in the southwestern part of the state, where the mining interests are great. 3 far back as 1876 the tariff was an issue more sharply defined there than in any other community of this common- wealth. The county in which this industry is most extensive has always been repub- lican and the adjoining counties are rap- idly becoming so. The wool growers in central Missouri are not satisfied wfth the Wilson bill, and as the industry is growing yearly the demo- cratic majorities may continue to shrink. The section has always been one of the party's Gibraltars. The new republican legislature can do nothing. Its hands are tied by demo- cratic senate and governor, and there is no United States Senator to elect. The fact, however, that it 1s in session this winter, with three republicans holding state offices, will inspire the party with hope and keep thei in line for battle in 1806, when it is believed a battle royal will be fought on Missouri soil, a battle that will determine who is to take care of the oilices for some years to come. It may be gald to the credit of the re- publicans that they have not gone daft over their unexpected victory, nor are they gloating with unseemly arrogance above the tcrm of their prostrate foe. Nor are dem- ocrats ready to believe that the country has gone to the demnition bow-wows be- cause of the general result. It is signifi- cant that four-fifths of the Congressmen and two of the three state officers-elect are natives of this commonwealth. Most of them are young men and their respect- ive trusts will be safe in their several hands. acon aaa Real Estate Transfers, Deeds in fee have been filed as follow Mahlon Ashford, trustee, to District of Co- lumbia, lots 6, 7, 22 and 23, block 3, in Todd & Brown’s sub of Mt.

To the Editor of the “Times”: Sir—A few days ago a lady who styles herself the Comtesse de Bremont wrote to me asking me to allow her to “interview” me for “St. Paul As I was unwilling to place my- self at the mercy of the good taste and discretion of this lady (who is known to me by repute), I replied politely—but evasively —to the effect that my terms for an intes- view for publicaticn were twenty guineas, This morning I received the subjoined let- ter, which will, perhaps, be held to fully justify my course of action in practically declining the honor which the Comtesse de Bremont proposed to confer upon me. I am, sir, your obedient servant, W. 8. GILBERT. The Comtesse de Bremont presents her compliments to Mr. W. S. Gilbert, and in reply to his answer to her request for an interview for “St. Paul's,” in which he states his terms as twenty guineas for that privilege, begs to say that she anticipates the pleasure of writing his obituary notice for nothing. jewed.
