FOREIGN POSTAL MATTERS. Some Things the United States Would Do and Some It Would Not. The program for the universal postal congress to be held in this city two years from now, which was givsn at length in ‘The Star this week, is still under consid- eration at the Post Oftice Department, and ‘will probably come up at intervals for some time. Four topics that will be discussed at the congress were submitted to the de- partment for its consideration by Director Hohn of the postal union, and statemen's requested as to the probable attitude that the United States government would take in regard to them. The topics were re- ferred by Postmaster General Wilson to a ecn.mittee of employes. Their report was submitted to the Postmaster General and from it he made the following answers to the questiors: ‘The department favors do- ing away with the present system of tran- sit rates, both territorial and maritime, and the adoption of free transit. If this be not practicable, the department favors fixed annual amounts to be paid by each country, based on two previous weighings, Second,’ the department will favor a lim- ited indemnity for lost registered articles in foreign malls, as soon as Congress au- thorizes the introduction of that principle in domestic mails. Third, as to the ex- tension of the system of exchange of postal parcels to foreign countries, the department concludes it would not favor such a universal exchange. Fourth, as to the reorganization of the money order sys- tem to conform to that of those countries which at present effect these exchanges by special arrangement with each other, the department, says-!t would not accept the money order system adopted by the postal union.” INDIAN TBRRITORY. Additional Deputies Ordered to Check Lawlessness in That Country. Attorney Gen#tral Harmon is determined that lawlessness in the Indian territory shall gain no advantage by reason of in- sufficient appropriations to carry on the United States ¢ourts. “He has accordingly authorized the appointment of thirty-three additional deputies. Seven of these will be appointed by Jirdge Stuart of the central district, fourteen’ by Judge Springer ‘for the northern district and twelve by Judge Kilgore for the southern district. Under the present appropriation the courts have at their disposal only $50,000 for salaries and >xvenses of marshals, for it was represented by Judge Stuart that good men could be secured to fill these places and wait for their salaries unill Congress could make the necessary appro- priaiion, if what is now left of the appro- priation was used to defray their expenses, which was mgreed to. Under the new ar- rangement the machinery of the courts will be kept In motion. Who Pays the Bills? The Secretary of State has settled the question as to who is to pay the ex- penses of employing -ustom house inspect- ors engaged in ferreting out filibustering expeditions by authorizing the use of so much as may be necessary out of the fund of $5,000 appropriated in the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill for the enforce- ment of the neutrality act. -straightouts, Carolina May Combine. FREE SILVER 10 BE THE ISSUE The Race Question . Becomes a Back Number. SENATOR BUTLER’S POSITION Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., June 25, 1895. The political situation in North Carolina is more of a puzzle now than it was even in the earliest days of 1804. There are strange prospects ahead. Any sort of com- bination may at sny time be made. And silyer is causing {t all. The silver senti- ment in North Carolina is today as ex- treme as in Colorado. It has driven out “of men’s minds the standard ideas of poli- tics. One fio longer hears the question, “Is he populist, democrat or republican?” but only, “Is he for silver?” The lines are sharply drawn. The silver advocates are intolerant to the last degree. To differ with them is to be damned, in their opinion. They apply the term “gold- bug,” once the pet phrase of the populists, to all those who differ with them in idea. A year ago the populists were hated by ‘he democrats, who termed them “agricultural anarchists;” today they use the same lan- guage, think the same thoughts and are looking to the same end. Fusion of popu- lists and democrats on the silver question is almost in sight. Many of both parties are ready for it now, and say so; some half openly and a few openly. Republicans Reticent. Republicans are more reticent and speak as if they are more under control of their party, and may wait until they see what it will do. But thousands of them are de- claring for silver. Their leaders are very quiet, and the ultra republicans, the like Chairman Holton and Congressman Holton, lean the other way. These have always at heart hated fusion with the populists and have had an Ill- concealed contempt for populists, A few months ago your correspondent heard Senators Marion Butler and Jeter C. Pritchard make their speeches of thanks to the fusion caucus which nominated them. Then Pritchard made as earnest a silver speech as did Butler, and the latter eulogized him. Where is Pritchard now? Butler in his newspaper last week called Pritchard a turn-coat by saying that it was passing strange that a man who six months ago was so extreme an advocafe of silver should now be so earnest a supporter of a candidate for the presidency whose hostil- ity to silver is avowed and notorious. So here is a rupture between these two leaders. Populists for Silver. The popvlists are to a man for silver. Senator Butler tells me he and they are very proud that their ideas have at last come into vogue. There are two factions of the democrats. The great mass of them are silverites, but the few who are for gold are determined to the last degree. There are thousands of democrats at this moment ready to renounce their party in case it declares for gold. Of this fact there is no doubt. Leading democrats have said as much on the platform. - Senator Butler really appears to dominate the situation. Is he to be the North Caro- lina Tillman? Republicans say they think so. How can party lines be drawn when all the issues of 1894 are already back numbers. The newspapers and speakers declare that per cent of the country peo- ple are for free coinage of silver. How can the republican leaders stand against this? There was a little effort made in the democratic state committee meeting, held May 20, to interject the race question into politics here; in other words, to use the Same means as in South Carolina. But it met with no support; it had one vote, no more. The race question is a back number in North Carolina politics. It was so in 184, it will be so in the future. The negro vote was last year the balance of power in this state. National Platform Defied. At the last demccratic state convention resolutions regarding silver were adopted which were in unconcealed defiance of the national democratic platform, as much as to say, matter what the national con- vention does, we must declare for silver in order to catch the vote here.” There was only one voice raised against that action by the state committee. That voice now says the democrats lacked firmness, took that action in order to get populist sup- port, and that the latter regard it merely as truckling. In any group of silver democrats one can hear any day in the week as harsh, as cruel, things said about Mr. Cleveland. as were cver uttered by any populist. He is cursed, reviled, denounced, and at one meeting at which populists d democrats jointly participated the democrats cheered the populist abuse of the head of their party, and then went further and joined in. And Senator Butler says: “This is a good sign. The leaven is working.” *‘ A Silver Convention. There is much pressure being *brought to bear upon the democratic state chairman to call his committee together to decide as to whether a silver convention shall not be held. He does not want to have such a convention. He was surprised at the last committee meeting, May 20, when the reso- lutions were adopted declaring for free coinage, and believed the action then taken would disrupt his party. The “sound money” democrats say that the committee boycotted them, because it says that only free coinage democrats are to be put upon the state ticket. These sound money cemocrats are, as a rule, quiet, but it is said they are more numer- ous than is popularly believed. Democrats and Populists. The only hope of the democrats has been and is the populist vote. Can they get it? There is a movement among members of both parties to drop politics and unite on silver. Those who are urging this say the tariff is out of the way now, and that there is really no issue save silver, and that after this is disposed of the parties can separate again. Fusion of populists and democrats is therefore many times more probable than fusion of populists and republicans. Senator Butler says: ‘‘Not the politi- cians, but the people, are ready to declare that men of all parties must get together now under one banner and on one ticket, and that ‘financial reform,’ against the John Sherman and Grover Cleveland gold bugs. He says that the only reason why the convention at Memphis last week did not make this declaration is that there were a few gcod men present who wanted these results, but were not quite ready to see that such a declaration is the only means by which to obtain them. Butler expects the silver element in the demecratic and republican parties to come to him, and this is why he said here that he had cut loose from both those parties. Mr. Butler is now quite ready to form and take the leadership of the “free silver party in North Carolina.” This is the next step to be taken. ————_ Pilot Chart for July. The pilot chart for July of the North Pa- cific ocean says that trade winds will extend farther north than the previous year. Fog and heavy mist will. prevail along the American coast, Vessels bound for the American coast may expect heavy rain squalls in passing through the region of the doldrums. Typhoons may be expected in the China sea. An interesting feature of the chart is a table of ocean distances, in which it is shown that the route to Yokohama, from the western términus of the proposed Nic- aragua canal is shorter by way of San Francisco than by Honolulu, =< Consul General Recognized. The President has recognized Joseph Wm. Warburton as consul general of Great Britain for California,.Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Arizona, to reside at San Francisco. Three of the Persons Implicated Have Been Arrested, Story of the Outrage and the Efforts of This Government to Have Justice Done. As the result of much vigorous urging and pressing by the State Department, the government of Honduras has at last been brought to take steps to punish the people who committed the Renton murder, and to- day a cablegram was received from Mr. Pringle, the United States charge at Gua- temala City, stating that he had received a telegrani from the Honduras minister of foreign affairs announcing that three of the persons implicated in Renton’s murder had been arrested. This case has been man- aged from the beginning by Assistant Sec- retary Uhl, and it is expected that the firm stand made by the State Department in this matter will have a good effect upon the status of American citizens in all of the small republics of Central America. Treaty Guarantees. The treaty between the United States and Honduras contains a provision guarantee- ing in the strongest terms full rights to pretection for citizens of one country so- journing in the other, but heretofore in all of these Central American countries the governments have made few efforts to give effect to such treaty stipulations where our citizens are concerned. One peculiar feature of the Renton case is that all of the parties to the murder and assault and incendiarism were foreigners and not native Hondurans, and because of their prominent position and influence with the lesser native officials it has been diffi- cult to induce the government to move against them. Six persons were concerned in the murder, but it is believed that as a result of the vigorous prosecution of the case by our government three of them have fled the country to escape the punishment threatened. Story of the Murder. Chas. W. Renton, with his wife and niece, lived on a fine estate near Brewer's lagoon, Honduras, which he had made a valuable property. Near his place was a large plan- tation held by a number of foreigners, who coveted Henton’s lands. They sought to drive him off by systematic persecution for a long time, and this proving of no avail, resort was had at last to violence and fire. March 16, last year, Renton, who had vainly sought for the protection of the local authorities, was murdered in cold blood, his wife, who tried to assist him in his de- fense, was shot through the wrist, the buildings and crops were destroyed, and the helpless woman and her child niece were driven into the jungle. She made her way with infinite difficulty and after great hardship to the coast and managed to get to the Urited States. Com- ing to Washington, she laid her case per- sonally before the State Department and afterward presented it mere formally. through a New York attorney. The case was placed in the management of Assistant Secretary Uhl, and he immediately called upon the United States consular officers in Honduras for a statement of the facts. Getting at the Facts. Probably owing to the fact that the near- est consul was distant 300 miles from Brew- er’s lagoon, they were unable to present a statement that was satisfactory to the de- partment, and, at Mr. Uhl’s request, a naval vessel—the Montgomery—was sent direct to Brewer’s lagoon about the Ist of March to make an original Investigation upon the scene. Commander Davis con- ducted the inquiry with great thoroughness, and when his report came to the State De- partment, about the middle of March, Mr. Uhl cabled United States Minister Pierce on March 19 that the naval investigation had fully established Renton’s murder and di- recting him to urge the Honduran govern- ment to prompt action, so that the guilty parties should not escape punishment, and the minister responded that he had made the representations. On March 23 he cabled that the Hon- duran government had promised to take prompt action in the case, but apparently they were still behind in carrying out their promise, for, on the 24th of May, nearly a month later, Mr. Uhl found it necessary to again cable Minister Young that the President was disappointed that Honduras had not acted promptly, and directing the minister to again press them and report progress. Honduras at Last Acts. This seems to have at last meved the government, for on the 26th of May Min- ister Young cabled that as a result of his urgency the Honduran government had assured him that it was prosecuting the case with the utmest vigilance and hoped soon to report satisfactorily, which prom- ise was redeemed,*as appears irom tb- day's cable announcing the arrest of three of the murderers. The recent statement that Honduras had paid an indemnity in settlement of chis case was premature. The payment of an indemnity will depend upon the result of the trial of the three prisoners held for the murder. A Material Decrease From the Yield of Last Year. Consul Barker at Sagua la Grande, Cuba, under date of June 12, reports to the State Department upon the sugar crop. He says: “The sugar crop of ‘94-95 having been marketed leaves no doubt of 2 material decrease from the yield of the previous year. This, together with the very low price realized by the planters, for the ad- vance came too late to benefit the pro- ducers, leaves the sugar growers of Cuba in a most helpless condition. They now frankly admit that they will not be able to secure loans with which to make the coming crop, which means that not ex- ceeding one-half of the usual acreage in new cane has been planted, and a cor- responding neglect in the cleaning of the present crop. In truth, the condition of the planters of this island is distressing, and the end is not yet, for when it is recalled that fully one-third of the inhabitants de- pehd on the plantations for employment and a living, and that the owners thereof cannot obtain money to engage their labor, actual suffering must ensue.” eS GENERAL NEWS NOTES, Philip Phillips, composer and singer of sacred music, died at his home at Delaware, Ohio, from attacks of grip, terminating in consumption. He was born in Chautauqua county, N. Y., August 13, 1834. He sprang into national prominence as a singer in this city at the United States Christian convention. Here he attracted President Lincoln's attention, who caused him ioMing “Your Mission” in the presence of himself ard his executive staff. He was also h cred by being called on to sing in the pri ence of members of Congress. Later he sang extensively in Europe and America. There was no silver conference at Grund Rapids, Mich., yesterday. It appears that the silver men of Michigan do not approve cf Chairman Little's idea of organizing a new party. At noon only one man could be found in the city who said he came as a delegate, and he had no credentials. The steamer Portia, which sailed for St. Johns, N.

PLANTS 10 BE ERECTED Some Interesting Comparisons of Figures and Bids. THE ‘TEMPORARY SERVICE The contract for collecting end disposing of the garbage of the city for a period of five years was, late yesterday afternoon, | awarded to Joshua Warfield, brother of the present contractor, at $57,000 per annum, the garbage to be disposed of by crema- tion. This action was in the nature of a sur prise to a great many people, and there have been many unfavorable comments on the transaction. It will be recalled that when the bids for doing the work were opened M. W. Adams bid $42,000 to do the work, using a system of reduction for dis- posing of the garbage, and Mr. James Kerr had in two bids. One for $34,050 for col- lection and disposition by cremation, an- other for $35,333 for collection and disposal by reduction. They were thrown out as informal, however, Mr. Kerr failing in the technicality of having the check accom- panying his bid certified. However, this action of the Commission- ers disposes of an embarrassment that they were already beginning to feel. After awarding a contract for the collection and removal of garbage outside of the city limits for four months at the exorbitant price of $27,761.46, they receive a bid from a responsible man, not only to collect the garbage, but build 2 crematory and cremate it for $34,050 per annum, or exactly $6,288.54 more for a whole year than the present contractor is to receive for four months without cremating. Location of Crematories, In Mr. Warfield’s bid he proposes to erect three crematories,-if necessary, and gives their location as follows: One at the foot of South Capitol street (presumably the site of the old reduction plant), another “on Rock creek,” but where he does not speci- fy, and he is equally ambiguous respecting the location of the third crematory, which he says he will erect on the Boundary be- tween Ist and 9h street northwest. Then he agrees to have the plants ready by Oc- tober 30, 1895. Already the South Capitol street residents are preparing to prevent the erection of a crematory on the site of the old reduction | plant, or any place on South Capitol street. { One of the residents said to a reporter of | The Star this afternoon that the citizens | down there knew what to expect, and they | would fight it to the bitter end, going into court, if necessary, for an injunction. The Two Contracts. The four months’ contract, which has been recently signed, and which gives the Present contractors nearly $28,000 for cole | lecting and disposing of the garbage out- | side of the city mits, will, it is under-| stood, not be abrogatéd by reason of the award. The successful bidder, while recog- nized as an associate of his brother in the present contract, is not the contractor of record, and it is not to be presumed that he will undertake the new contract until after | the four months’ contract has expired. In the meantime, for four months, the gar- bage will be collected and shipped down the river past the historic city of Alexandria, where the authorities le in wait, dooming lounging garbage scows to destruction, Washington paying at a greater rate for this antiquated, offensive and unsatisfac- tory method of disposal than it is to pay, for incineration, : The Best System. ‘ While it has been definitely determined by the Commissioners to dispose of the garbage of the city after October next by. cremation, they have not decided what system they will order the contractor to furnish. In the bid of Mr. Warfield, the successful contractor, he named the Dixon system of cremation, but stated specifically he would use any system the. Commission- ers selected. The Commissioners this after- noon ordered Dr. Woodward to proceed at once to Atlanta, Ga., for the purpose of exemining the Dixon system, which is in operation there, and report to them at once. ES PROTECTING THE INDIANS. Evicting White Trespassers at the Winchester’s Muzzle. The renewed evictions of settlers on lands leased from the Flournoy Land and Im- provement Company on the Omaha and Winnebago reservation in Nebraska are not expected to resultsin further disturb- ances. No official dispatches have been ree ceived announcing the renewal of the at- tempts to dispossess the whites, but the War Department has forwarded Winches- ter rifles and ammunition for the use of the several scores of Irdian police em- ployed. These should have reached there several days ago, and the work of dis- possessing the white lessees was expected to begin at once. It is expected that with- in a week the evictions will be completed and steps taken by the agent to secure to the Indiars their full rights. Commissioner | Browning says there is no fear of inter-/ ruption or resistance, as the lessees now realize the authorities are determined to carry out the plan regardless of resistance, + DEATH OF COL. ST. [LAIR DENVER, He Was a Forty-Niner and a Brother of Gen. Denver. The friends of Col. A. St. Clair Denver were shocked today to hear of his death early this morning at his residence, 1703 Rhode Island avenue. Col. Denver was a) brother of Gen. Denver, the founder of , the capital of the state of Colorado, and like him a man of sterling character, splen- } didly typical of the early pioneer of the far | west. He was a forty-niner and attained | several positions of honor and distinction in! California, serving in the state senate and as clerk of court for several years. He had been a resident of Washington for fourteen years past and had been engaged in the practice of the law in the firm of Hughes, Denver & Peck. The funerag will take place Friday at 5:30 o'clock and the interment will be at Rock Creek church- yard. The Forty-Niners’ Association, of which Col. Denver was an honored and cherished member, will probably attend the funeral in a body. —_—__—_ Officers Elected.
