During the past week 118 deaths (death Tate 22.27) were reported at the health department, as against 112 (death rate 21.10) during the week previous, and 134 (death rate 25.76) during the corresponding week uf last year. The large mortality from pneumonia and diseases of the heart is the chief feature worthy of notice. Con- sumption was responsible for 13.5 per cent of all deaths, a sufficient proportion, it would seem, to warrant the adoption of meusvres for its restriction. Diphtheria; two cases terminated fatally ‘and seven were discharged from quaran- tine; thirteen new cases were reported; at the close of the week nineteen houses re- mained in quarantine. Scarlet fever; five cases were discharged from quarantine; cleven new cases were re- ted; at the close of the week twenty jouses remained in quarantine. Typhoid fever resulted fatally in two cases and grip in four; no death o¢curred from either measles or whooping cough. ‘Twenty-three deaths occurred {in hos- ‘itals; eight were certified by the coroner. ifty-seve™ were reported and uinety-four births. THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY; FEBRUARY 26, 199¢TWELWEV PAGES: SEIZURE OF THE BERMUDA What the Friends of Ouba Oomplain ef in the Government. Wishes of the People Are Plain—Ef- fect of Belligerent Rights on Both Sides. The seizure of the ship Bermuda in New York harbor happens at an oppurtune timo for the illustration of the point for which the friends of Cuba in Congress are now contending. The law invoked is the neu- trality law, but the parties injured are those for whom the people of the United States feel the liveliest friendship and realty desire to assist In their struggle for liberty. Is it not time, therefore, that Congress take some action calculated to prevent so palpable a miscarriage of the popular will? Complaint of Cuba’s Friends. The friends of Cuba complain that es matters now stand the United States is not a neutral, but is forced to be an active ally of Spain for the suppression of the insur- gents. This government is a conscript, fighting in the Spanish ranks and against its friends and neighbors. It cares nothing about Spain proper. There is peace be- tween the two countries, but that Is all. They have nothing in common. But in this matter of Cuba the United States ts called upon to play the part of the most devoted friend, and responds under the law with all possible promptness. If it loved Spain like a brother, and prayed daily for its success, it could do no more. This land {is sown with Spanish spies. The friends of | the insurgents are everywhere under watch. The Spanish min‘ster at this capital has only to press a button, and the whole ma- chinery of this government revolves to Spain's advantage. Speaking in the ver- nacular, the United States is a perfect “pudden” for Spain. The old monarchy has not found as soft a thing in a hundred years. Effect of Belligerent Rights. There is nothing, the friends of Cuba urge, that calls for this. Why not put the government in an attitude of agreement with the known wishes of the people? Why not, at least, give the Cubans an equal chance on these shores? Why should the government longer remain In leading strings to Spanish officials, and move at thelr bidding against the cause for which the people feel so warm an interest? If the Cubans had been in the enjoyment of belligerent rights, the New York officials would not have been available as deputies for Minister de Lome in this Eermuda Matter. The Cubans could have invested their money and put to sea without moles- tation. Spain could buy a ship in any American port tomorrow and fit it out against Crba without having to answer to anybody. And yet Americans want Cuba to win in this struggle. Possible Benefit to Spain. This is the Cuban side of the controversy. The demand is that the people’s wishes be partly expressed, at least, in the law. As no ties of blood, or commerce, or political aspirations exist between Spain and the United States—nothing that calls for an undue manifestation of love or loyalty on the part of this country for Spain—and as ties of neighborliness, and commerce, and Political aspirations do exist between Cuba and the United States, let the way be cleared for action that will relieve the United States from the further necessity of warring against its interests and earn- est friends. Spain, even in those cireum- stances, would fare well. It could buy in these markets as the Cubans openly would do. It might even benefit in a new and important way by such legislation, for, re- lieved then of the duty of directing the police machinery of this government, Min- ister de Lome could cail in his army of Spies, put guns into their hands, and send them to Cuba to take the field openly like men. ——__-e+_____.

One of them, who gave his name as James Gulick, and his age as sixteen years, com- plained that he had been cruelly treated and put ashore at Lower Cedar Point. He reached here on the steamer Wakefield this morning. As he claimed that his brother lives in Baltimore and he has a home with Lim, he was furnished transportation to that city. Frank Harris, the other dredger, complained that his hands were cut by the oysters and he was sent to Providence Hos- pital for treatment. —— Convicted of Larceny. William Miller, alias Fields, colored, was convicted of larceny today in Criminal Court No. 2. The verdict included a recommenda- tion of mercy, but the sentence imposed by Judge Cox was two years in the Albany penitentiary. A similar term was the sen- tence imposed on Abraham Banks, colored, also convicted in Criminal Court No. 2 today of larceny. es ‘Wants a Divorce. In a petition for divorce, filed this after- noon, Edward M. Steele accuses his wife, Belle M. Steele, with the commission of adultery with one Jesse H. Peters, with a policeman whose name is not known to Mr. Steele, and with a number of other men. As an exhibit to the bill Mr. Steele has filed a letter alleged to have been writ- ten by his wife, in which she admits her guilt with one of the parties mentioned. The couple were married February 9, 1891, and soon thereafter, it is claimed, the wife became addicted to the use of vulgar and obscene language, which, according to Mr. Steele, she would frequently use in the presence of his child, Alice. In addition to the divorce, Mr. Steele asks the custody of hoe child.

THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE Democratic Oonferenc>, Over the Ooming Primary Elections. The Question of the Appointment of Judges to Be Settled—The Cam- paign Growing Warm. The democratic central committee will hold a meeting tonight at Costello's Hall to determine upon the arrangements for the primary elections to be held March 10 to choose delegates to a convention March 12, at which six delegates and their alter- nates to the national democratic conven- tion in Chicago will be named. The fact that most of the members of the central committee are admitted to be favorable to the candidacy of what is known as the “gstraight-out” ticket for Chicago, and which now contains the names of Chair- man Holmead, John Boyle, E. L. Jordan, Frank P. Morgan and R. E. Mattingly, has led to the assertion in several .quarters that the judges to be selected for the pri- maries will be chosen with a view to their predilections in the same direction. Conversation with a number of the cen- tral committeemen, however, developed the fact that there was a general opposition to any such a course as that suggested here. The members state that the outcome of the committee’s action in selecting the election judges will be satisfactory to all interests concerned in the contest. The Present Program. The proposition cn this subject that will be presented to the committee tonight em- braces the selection of one judge by the friends of the “‘straight-out” ticket, one by their opponents and the third to be ap- pointed by the central committee. ee be- that this plan will be adopted. toe location of the majority of the poll- ing places will also be determined upon to- night and other prelimmaries arranged. | The campaign is being prosecuted with much diligence in the various assembly dis- tricts, tne straightouts making an open fight and the opposition keeping their plans very quiet. The latter, however, possess considerable strength end are using every effort to concentrate their forces for the final struggle March 10. They are holding frequent conferences and keeping their own counsel, but they display considerable confidence and declare that nothing will be settled until the convention meets, and that the real battle will be fought then. Factions in the Fifth. A somewhat amusing condition of affairs has developed in the fifth district. The democrats there are a unit in favor of the “straight-out” ticket, but there are two factions arrayed against each other for the control of the “‘deestrick.” These fac- tions rejoice in the distinctive names of the “Foggy Bottom Invincibles” and the “Connaught Row Conquerors.” It is hard- ly necessary to state that the members of these respective factions are residents of the two localities bearing the familiar names given above, and they are as de- termined in their opposition to each other as if they were arrayed on either side of the political fence. Both their tickets will contain the names of men favorable to the selection of the “‘straight-out ticket” for Chicago, but the fight at the primaries will be bitter and hard fought. —_—— CHIEF MARSHAL CARSON. Preparing for the Celebration of Emancipation Day. Many of the delegates elected by the va- rious colored organizations of the District of Columbia to represent them at a con- ference to decide upon the preliminary ar- rangements for the Emancipation day cele- bration met today at Mt. Carmel Church, 4th and L streets northwest. There was a large representation from the various branches of the Carson Invincible Club Permanent officers were elected as follows: President, E. B. Wellbourne; vice president, W. B. Johnson; secretary, C. W. Scott, and treasurer, P. B. Meredith. Col. Perry H. Carson was unanimously elected chief mar- shal of the Emancipation day parade. ——_—_ Summer in Europe. Mrs. M. BH.

TO SUPPORT “McKINLEY Michigan's Delecation to St. Lonis Will : Support the: Ohican, ¥ Pingree in the Lead for the Nomina- tion for Governor—Other Candidates, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 25, 1896. The republican state convention to elect delegates to the national convention will be held in Detroit May 14. Gen. Alger will be elected the first delegate-at-large by ac- clamation, and Thomas J. O'Brien of this city and Gov. Rich are almost as certain of being elected, and the fourth will be nomi- natéd by the upper peninsula. The Mich- {gan vote may safely be counted for Mc- Kinley. Among the farmers he is the only candidate thought of, and he is also strong among the laboring men in the cities, as well as mighty with the politicians. At least 20 of Michigan's 26 votes will be for McKinley, and the delegation may be solid for him. Among the more conservative the senti- ment prevails that McKinley is too much of an extremist to be the strongest pos- sible candidate. Reed has many friends in the state, but they are not sufficiently bunched to make much of an impression. Allison is mentioned occasionally, Mor- ton rarely, and the swarm of other favorite sons rot at all. The Race for Governor. The republican state convention will be held some time in August, and it will fur- nish as pretty a fight as Michigan has ever seen for the head of the ticket. The can- didates for governor are Mayor Pingree of Detroit; Col. A. T. Bliss, Saginaw; Harry A. Conant, Monroe; Congressman D. D. Aiken, Flint; A. O. Wheeler, Manistee, and James O'Donnell, Jackson, and their rela- tive strength at this time is about in the order named. O'Donnell and Wheeler will receive scarcely more than the complimen- tary vote of their friends. Conant and Aiken are both said to have the backing of the state machine, and which one of them will have it remains to be seen, with the probabilities in favor of Conant. -Bliss is backed largely by the Alger influence, while Pingree is runing his own machine and working up his own boom. He Has begun early, has made speeches in a dozen different places this winter, and every night until spring plowing time would be occupied, if he had no other engage- ments to look after, Congressional Prospects. The congressional prospects are beginning to rece‘ve attention. Cdrliss of the first, Smith of the fifth and fSishop of the ninth will undoubtedly be retidminated without cpposition. It is probable also that Spald- ing of the second. Milnes of the third, Sno- ver of the seventy and‘ Crimp of the elev- enth will be accorded the same honor, as they are all serving their first terms, and it is party usage to give airepeat. Thomas is a candidate for re-election in the fourth for a third, term, and every county in his district Has''a candidate to put up against him, and‘ some have two or three candidates. 1 is! Avery of the eleventh, it ig understood, will rot ask for a third term,,and his district has a swarm of candidafes already in sight and more coming. ; Stephenson of the twelfth wants a fifth term, but will have hard sledding to get the nomination with half a n strong candi- dates already in the field, Some of the con- gressional conventions will be exceedingly lively and full of ginger. Silver Will Cut Little Figure. ‘The silver sentiment will not cut much of @ figure in the delegate conventton in May. ‘There is a good deal of silver sentiment in the republican ranks, especially among the farmers, but it is unorganized and -will not be in a position to make much of a fight. -———.——_ Funeral of Dr. Smith Townshen: The funeral of the 1ate Dr. Smith Town- shend will take place tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock from the Scottish Rite Ca- thedral, 1011 G@ street northwest. The sol- emn ceremonies of the Scottish Rite will |. be performed over the remains, and the in- terment will be in Rock Creek cemetery. ‘The companions of the deceased in the Mil- itary Order of the Loval Legion will be in attendance at the funeral. MR.-CARTER'S SPEECH He Appeals for a Platform of Protection ® and Bimetallism, His Remarks Today on the Revenue Bill—Reviewing Recent Finan- cial Legislation. Mr. Carter spoke at length today on his motion to redommait to the finance commit- tee the revenue bil) with the silver amend- ment. Mr. Carter said: “The bill could not be amended in open Senate; it should go to the finance commit tee, and a republican measure presented.” He continued: “The veto message of the President on a true republican measure would raise an ts- sue, while his veto message on the pending bill would raise a laugh at the expense of the republican party.” Mr. Carter said if the commands of the recent elections meant anything they were to restore republican principles to the statute books, or offer such legislation to the executive, and added: “The republican party cannot be convicted of any responsibility for the administration. No peril confronts the state. The public credit is in no danger. The country never was so rich and powerful as it is today. Around the stock jobbing and storm cen- ters of trade and speculation, where Mr. Cleveland generally received his most pro- nounced majorities, we find clamorous un- rest as the gathering of bitter but legiti- mate fruit goes on, and in the midst of con- fusion the republican party is called pon to stultify its record and pass up for the veto of an opposition President a tariff bill which would prove a perpetual source of humiliation and annoyance to it. Save vs a sort of annoyance to its authors, this bill, if enacted, would soon be forgotten. The time is not opportune for the republican party to enter into partnership with the ad- ministration.” The Silver Issue. Mr. Carter then took up the silver issue, ard read the money plank of the republi- cen convention of 1892, and said if that plank was a cunning device to deceive the people, the party forfeited its right to their confidence. But he did not believe the con- vention acted in bad faith. Speaking of the free silver element in the republican party he said: “Recently certain self-constituted censors of purty action have been pleased to de- nominate such republicans as conspirators against the public weal, others have gone so far as to invite them to relieve the party of their obnoxious presence. They have Leen advised that their states are not need- ed in republican columns. Garrulous states- men, possessed of more zeal than knowl- edge, have assumed to deal with party es iples by the measure of party neces- sity.” He declared that the silver republicans believed they were right, and were firm in their party allegiance. Mr. Carter said that busiress depression in this country follow- ed the election of 1892, because tariff re- form meant free trade, and continued: ‘At this momentous point the spark of genius appeared in one of the most deter- mined men this country has ever known. When the history of our times shall be written Mr. Cleveland will be accorded the honor of having displayed the most mar- velous political tact of any man of his time. Mark the wonderful stage piay. Within thirty days after his inauguration the deep, dark cloud which hung over the Country because of the presence of his own party in power was attributed to another and wholly inadequate cause. He suggest- ed that the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver each month was bringing the coun- try to the verge of ruin. So adroitly was this proposition presented and so cordialiy did the friends of the gold standard around the speculative centers co-operate that with- in a brief time the country was prepared for an extraordinary session of Congress to repeal the Sherman law.” “The Sherman law was no more, and yet disorder, doubt, uncertainty, yea even de- spair pervaded the country. Another exhi- bition of genius. The President suggested that the greenback was the cause ef the trouble, and that in the interest of what he was pleased to call ‘sound money’ the greenback should be retired and an in- terest-bearing bond substituted for it. Again we hear the republican magpie chatter. A horde of presidential aspirants rushed to political suicide yelling ‘sound money.’ The press of New York city leads the proces- sion—‘sound money’ is the war cry, and under the cover of this cry the President protected himself and his administration from just criticism for the most shady and iniquitous transaction in public finances the world has ever known.” Recent Events. Mr, Carter then referred to the Venezu- elan message, intimating that its purpose was to influence Congress to pass a bond bill. - The Senator said on the principles of pro- tection and bimetallism the republicans of the west were united. The mysterious phrase ‘‘sound money” is well understood to mean single-gold standard. The President was wanting in his usual courage when he selected that phrase instead of more «andid words. Courage gave way to caution. No single gold standard party can gain suprem- acy under its proper name in this country. “Let no republican be deceived. He who follows the President antagonizes the prin- ciples and purposes of the republican party. Every republican who joins the President in his demand for the absolute fixing of the single gold standard upon this country to the permanent exclusion of all hope for bimetallism, makes his contribution to a ferce destined to disrupt and destroy the republican party. It is high time that republicans who claim to be within the party should take their cues from the party platform rather than from the White House. If it shall occur that this sense- less crusade against republicans who be- Heved in god faith in the Minneapolis platform, when it declared for bimetallism as well as protection, shall be carried to such an extent as may result in the adop- tion of Presideat Cleveland's scheme by the St. Louis convention, I submit the re- publicans’ success will be rendered utterly impossible.” Mr. Carter closed with a plea for a plat- form of protection and bimetellism, which, he said, honestly carried out would restore prosperity to the country. ——__-e- Hotel Arrival Willard’s—J.

The New York Bankers, They Think, Will Help the Pressure, Which the President Can’t Resist. There is already talk both in political and in financial circles about another bond is- sue. Mr. Carlisle has heard it during his visit to New York, and has dignified it by discussing the probabilities with leading bankers there. The whole sum of the com- fort he got was an expression of the opin- ion that the necessity of another issue soon did not now appear. That is to say, if this year’s crops are good, gold, instead of leav- ing the country, may come into the country. What Party Leaders Believe. If Mr. Carlisle was much impressed with what the New Yorkers told him, party lead- ers in Congress are not. They not only be- lieve that another issue will be necessary, but that it will be forced on the administra- tion before the year is out. And they fur- ther believe that the New York bankers will be a party to the pressure, and will profit by the new loan. The argument is this: (1) If the revenues of the government are not to be increased, in what important particular will the situa- tion for the next twelve months differ from tke situation of the past twelve months? The balance of trade will continue against the government, duties on heavy imports will have to be paid in gold, and the grecn- backs will still be available for the endless chain purposes of thrifty brokers. What, therefore, will prevent the draining of the gold just deposited in the treasury, as the deposits from previous bond sales were drained? The Bankers Think Only of Business. () The question, so far as the banking fraternity is concerned, is one of business, and of business only. The gold brokers of New York are, as a rule, the representa- tives of foreign houses. They are constant- ly on the alert for profits. They are gov- erned by but one consideration, and that is, is there money in the transaction? Politics cuts no tigure whatever with them.Whether the one party or the other stands to lose at the by the pledging of the credit of the government in times of peace is utterly beside the question as they view it. Are the bonds good? Are they inviting as an in- vestment? Satisfy the speculators on those two points, and they ask nothing more. So that, with the situation so exposed, and but one more year of the present administra- tion remaining, are not these men, who have raided the treasury gold before, likely —almost certain—to raid it again? Pressure on the President. Some of the President’s supporters have persuaded themselves that he cannot be brought to consent to another issue of bonds. How, it is asked, will he be able to withstand pressure which has three times conquered him? What will be his excuse for refusing again to invoke a law which he has three times invoked to keep the gold reserve up to the figure establisned by Mr. Sherman? This idea 1s rejected by the great majority of those to whom it has been advanced. These men not only believe that the President if again pressed will sell bonds, but hold that it will be his duty to do so. As long as the revenues remain short the necessity is liable to arise, and when it does arise it must be met. His One Regret. There is a firm belief now that the Presi- dent regrets not having sold two hundred millions instead of one while he was about it. That would have safely carried him through all the contingencies of his remain- ing yeur in office. But the popular loan fea- ture was a venture, and he did not know. as neither dil the bankers seem to know, how much gold was to be had by an appeal to the people. Wil Congress, by refusing all tariff legis- lation, make another loan a certainty? ———-_o+____ MILLIKEN CASE. Officials Say It Will Re Pushed to an Early Trial. The charge of housebreaking against Benjamin H. Milliken ts to be vigorously pressed in the near future, according to District Attorney Birney. It will be remembered that Milliken was accused of housebreaking last summer at the residence of Judge Phillips, on Rhode Island avenue, with the intention of enter- ing the apartment of Judge Phillips’ daugh- ter. He left the city, and after the lapse of several weeks was placed under arrest in Tennessee. District Attorney Birney explained to a Star reporté this afternoon that the delay in bringing the case to trial was at first in compliance with a request from Milliken, through his attorney, Mr. A. 8. Worthing- ton, that the matter be allowed to go over until Congress convened, in order that Con- et FINANCIAL.

The latter case is expected to reach a con- clusion about the middle of next week, and Mr. Birney has notified Mr. Worthington that he will insist on trying the Milliken case at the earliest possible moment after Mr. Worthington is at liberty as the Moore case.
