R A s e P s s, ey HARRISON NOT 1N THE RACE] Anzounces that Ho is in No Sense o | Oandidate. STATEMENT COMES THROUGH JOHN C. NEW Indinnn ¢ Informat in G of Either Reed or MeKinley. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 28.—Colonel John ©. New, who managed ex-President Harri- son's campalgn for the nomnination for the presidency, and was consul general of the United States at London during the Harri- son administration, in an authorized inter- view with a representative uf the Awsociated press today said “General Harrison does not desire to run for the presidency, and is in no sense a candidate, The stories that he has with- drawn in the interesis of any one are with- out foundation in fact. Were his advice sollcited he would select neither Mr. Me- Kinley nor Mr. Reed as the republican can- didate for president.” Colonel New declined to state whom Gen- | eral Harrison would prefer as a candidate The interview was called out by the pub- | lieation of a dispatch from New York under date of the 25th inst., which made the fol- | lowing statement: It is said upon the authority of a repub- 7 leader of national reputation that ¥ Jamin H: ison has withdrawn the president race, and lilam McKinley as his res More than the semblance of truth Is given to this report by the fact that Charles W. Fairhanks—Mr. Hurrison's personal repre- and leading candidate for United ates Senator Voorhees' place—is in the city, that he had ral confe ences with ex-Governor Foraker, whos missfon here, it is openly stated,” was effect with Senator Quay an anti-Ha: son combination In the interest of McKin- ley. Mr. Fairbanks' unexpected appear- ance on the scene may render the form tion of such a combination unn GEHATY. DISCOUNTING THE INTERVIEW. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 28.—The News edi- torially considers Mr. New's statement highly significant owing to New's closs re- lations with Mr. Harrison. It says: ‘New prefaces his sweeping denial of the story that Harrison had withdrawn in the interest of McKinley with the statement that Harri- son does not desire to run for the presi- dency and is in no sense a candidate. We believa that this is an altogether exact siate- ment of Harrison's position, so far it goes. He is not a candidate, and has not been a candidate in the sense that McKinley and Reed and others are candidates. At the same time, Harrison has felt and has said that I ths party belleves he is the man to bear the presidential standard next year, his sense of duty and loyalty to party and country will not permit him to refuse the party's mandate. ~ Mr. New's statement leaves him still in precisely the mme posi- tion. He s not seeking and he will not seek the nomination. If the party nomi- nates him he will obey the party's call. That being Harrison’s position, it would naturally follow that he could not withdraw in the in. terest of McKinley or any other man.” he News thinks that if Mr. New's state- ment that “Harrison would select neither Reed nor McKinley as the republican candi- date” is interpreted as meaning that the ex- president is opposed to both Reed and M- Kinley it is untrue. There can hardly be a doubt that this declaration will have its effect on the candidacy of both these men. The situation then is Just this: “Mr. Harrison is not a candidate for the nomination, and soof cours: has not with- draw in the interest of any other candidate. He would not _advise the nomination of either Mr. Reed or Mr. McKinley. He stands now just precisely where he stood. If th: par'y demands his serviess it can have them.” A’ republican officeholder who had a re- sponsible position in Washington during the Harrison administration safd tolay that he had known for several months that' the ex- president’s personal preference for the re- publican nomination for president Is Senator Allison of Towa. M'KINLEY SAYS NOTHING Governor McKinley declines to be inter- viewed relative to the withdrawal of General Harrison as a presidential candidate, nor will he express an opinion as to the possible ef- fect of such withdrawal. After reading care- fully the Assooiated press telegram, giving New's interview, and dwelling especially upon that part of it which said that General Harrlson would favor neither McKinley nor Reed, the governor said: I do not think it is necessary, nor do L helieve it would be proper for me to talk for publication. I sim ply have nothing to say “Can you not express a probable influence of withdrawal?” was asked. “No," replied the governor, have not a word to say. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—Senator Warren of Wyoming, who was appointed governor of the territory of Wyoming by President Har- rison, when shown the New interview said that if the Iatter part of it was a correct rep- resentation of the sentiments of the ex-presi- dent, “It clearly indicates that Mr. Harrison has no inteution of baing a candidate again, as the expression would antagonize the friends of two leading candidates for the residency. The senator sald he did not know General Harrison's choice. WASHINGTON, Sept. nator Gorman of Maryland, when the interview was read to him, listened with intercst, but merely shook his head deprecatingly and smiled when an interview on. it with himself was suggested It was not a matter that concerned demo- crats, he said.

FOR WESTERN INTERESTS. to Meet nt Topeka October 1. TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 28—Arrangements are now being made for the conference of Conference Ci | representatives of the states and cities west of the Mississipp! river, which is to be held in this city October 1. The object of the conference s to devise means of making available to the great west a deep water harbor on the gulf and to arrange for the holding of an Interamerican exposition, Ex-Senator Ingalls has written the follow- ing letter concerning the meeting: ATCHISON, Kan, Sept. 27.—Mayor C. A. Fellows, Topeka,” Kan.: Dear Sir—Pre: vicus engagements, which 1 have not been able to defer or cancel, render my attend- ance at the western states conference im- practicable, but L am cordially in sympathy with the movement and shall heartily co- operate with its representatives in the ac- complishment of the results they have in view. Having been one of the ploneers of the empire of the west, and a witness of its unprecedented growth, I am profoundly interested in the emancipation of its ener- gies from those burdens and limitations which have hitherto restrained its develop- ment and retarded its destiny. We have been the recipients of the na- tional bounty, and are not ungrateful for its benefits. I'ree homesteads on the public | domain and land grant railroads that have accessible, and their products marketable, have been ‘the agencles by which the desert has been subjugated and the frontier abolished. Without these instrumentalities of _civilization and the agricultural machinery devised by the in- ventive genius of the American people, it is doubtful whether the Missourl would not have been today practicully the boundary between the farm and the wilderness. The transformation effected by th forces 1s one of the marve!s of the centurie In less than the lifetime of one generation of men the great column of migration, marching westward, has completed the con- quest of the continent. The solitude has become populous; the desert has become is whose products supply the gran- ¢ the world. Great as are our obliga- tions for the liberal policies that have made consequenc e, our contribu- ns to the prosperity wealth of the cple far excced the benefactions we hav ceived. Costly a the donations o free homesteads in_money, and vast as were the subsidies of lands and bonds given to the rallroads, the investment has been enormously profitable and will yield yet richer returns hereafter. So rapid has been the building of the em- pire of the west that under the readjust- ments of the eleventh census the seat of political power has been transferred from the seaboard to the center of the continent, and the states of the Mississippl basin, with their natural allies, the states of the Gulf and southeast Atlantle, can control the purse and sword of the nation. United, as they must eventuaily be, by community of products, climate and destiny, they wiil be invincible. They can elect a congress, se ate and president, who will represent thei interests and be the agents and ministe of their will It is in this regard that the conference of the southern and western states has im- mense significance, and it is altogether fit- ting and natural that the initiative of this coalition should proceed from Kansas, the central state of the union, whose relations to the greatest event of our history were so striking and whose people have always been foremost in every movement for the tion of the evils that aiflict our made those homes amelior race. Omitting from present cc vast problems of the future with which we shall be required to deal, we are now im- mediately concerned in the question of se curing more profitable returns for our sur- plus farm products and cheaper frelghts upon the comm s for which they are exchanged in foreign markets. Having long enter ned the belief that the natural outlet for exports and the ratural gate for our imports was through the Gulf of Mex- ico, ways supported, while in congress, all measures looking to the improvement of the Mi ippl and the opening of a. deep water harbor at Galveston. 1 had the privilege of intimate acquaintance with Captain Eads, the most intrepid engineer of 'his_time, Who dealt with the greatest natural forces a child with his toy a man the modest.and retiring simplicity of whose demeanor was equaled only by the immensity of his designs and the grandeur of his achievements. One of his aphorisms that the only question in any civil engineering project was money. With enough money everything was possible, and he often said that it would not require many millions to secure deep water at Galyeston, T was there last winter, and by inspection was convinced that the prob- I¢ém had been solved and that the heaviest draught ocean mers would soon find mple depth fo enable them to depart for Liverpool with the cotton and corn and cattle that can reach its inner harbor with early one-half less land transportation than the Atiantic seaboard. othing can_more surely the attention of the wo tions' than the pre sideration the aid in calling A’ to these condi- osed exposition at Gal- veston in 1 or can anything con- tribute more powerfully to the elimination )f obstacles to the unification of the in- dustrial and productive energies of those regions of the republic whose inerests are identical and whose solidarity is the in- cvitable dictate of the immediate future.

It is learned that the delay was due to a communication received from Thomas K. Scott, ganeral manager of the Georgia rail- road. In his* communication Mr. Scott charges the members of the present associa- tion with breach of faith in that they made wgreements which were subsequently broken Mr. Scott goes on to say that he has been ssured by a committee representing the as- sclation that he need not live up to its agreements if he will join the assoclation. To this Mr. Scott replied that he would not be a party to such self-stultification and de- clined on behalf of the Georgia railway to enter the new assoclation. The Southern railway men, it is sald, are endeavoring to communicate’ with the heads of the Georgla road in the hopes that they will override Mr. Scolt's deeision. tx Excite the ¢ RICH ORE FOUND, RAPID CITY, S.

STEPS OUT ON ACCOUNT OF AGE is Retirement Mafks the Close of n Long Serles of Valunble Services Noth In War and in Times of ¥ ee. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, —Tomorrow Lieu- terant General John M. Schofield retires from active service and goes on the retired list, after an eventful career in times of war and peace. For more than seven years he has been in command of the army, and nce February last he has had the rank of lleutenant general by special act of con- gress. General Schofleld was born in Chautauqua county, New York, September 29, 1831, and was appointed to the military academy from Illinols in 1849, Entering the artillery branch as a second lieutenant in 1863, the outbreak of the civil’ war found him a cap- tain of the First artillery in 1861. He was in active service in the west throughout the hostilities, and in 1864 was a brigadier gen- eral, in command of the Army of the Cum- berland. During reconstruction times he was in command of the First military district (state of Virginia), for a little over a year and for ten months was secretary of war, from June 2, 1868, to March 14, 1869, in which latter year he became a major gen- eral, and after commanding several of the army departments he became commander of the army in 1888 upon the death of General Sheridan, General the few war who Schofleld 1s_one surviving veterans of the commanded an army, who fought a battle himself as such, and the record of his active service In the field is full of brilliant achievements. But in ad- dition to these he has accomplished in an administrative way matters of such sub- stantial berefit to the army that his reputa- tion might safely rest alone on them. First of all, he has been an artillery of- ficer, and has kept constantly in view the importance of bringing this arm of the serv- ice up to perfection. As the senior member of the fortifications board since its creation, he has lost no opportunity to encourage in- vention and the development of modern ordnance and coast defense. He has in- augurated a system of higner education amoug the younger members of the ordnance and artillery branches that nas nad remark- ably successful results, Young officers who showed special aptitude in the schools have been sent to the arsenals by his orders Lyceum instruction has been afforded others, and a complete instruction in special branches has been given noncommissioned officers and men by means of pamphlets pre- pared_under the direction of General Scho- fleld by experts in each branch. In the wider fleld of army reorganization the general has played an important part. He has for years been an earnest advocate for the three-battalion organization, and to him is owed the adoption of the policy of corcentrating troops in the great railroad centers and at exposed points on the coasts, and the abandonment of small posts. It is also a notable'fact that under his administra- tiom of the army has come an end of the Indian wars that have ravaged the western country since fts settlement, which be at least in part attributed to the skillful hand- ling of troops that has made it manifest to even the Indians that their struggles would be hopeless. In the hour of civil disturbances general has shown himself a most wise and Qiscreet commander. He is largely respon- sible for the admirable construction of the posse comitatus laws, which have never been disturbed by the courts; and during the great labor strikes of last summer in Chi- cago it was his demonstration of the law that provented any serious conflict between the natignal and ptate authorities while using the army to afford proper protection to national interests. ot the AIN GIVEN THREE ONTIL Public and Private erests De n Setlement of Cu n Affairs, CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—A special to the Times-Herald says: Spain must crush the Cuban rebellion during the next three months or submit to international interference in the interest of humanity and commer That is the significance of a series of confer- ences held between Olney and the Spanish minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome. Tae United States has agreed for the present to keep hands off, but this is accompanied by a tacit waning that unless Spain carries out her promise of suppressing the insurrection and restoring order in Cuba within reasonable time she must expect the United States tc pursue a quite different policy. In other words, Spain is to be given one more chance to demonstrate her ability to rule the island, and failing in this, the chances are the United States will take the leadership in international intervention, with the complete autonomy or perhaps the inde- pendence of Cuba as the objective point, The conferences were held at the request of Secretary Olney, who asked Senor Dupuy de Lome for a full statement of the condi- tion of affairs in Cuba, the intentions of the Spanish government, its ability o protect American citizens and their property, and the prosvect of suppressing the insurrection. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 28.—A detec Ive Fas ome to St. Louis with the avowed intenton of prev:nting the (p-raticns of Cuban filibys erers from this poirt.

Ediet will issue in a few days punishing officials and degrad- ing viceroy. Will telegraph it." This message refers to the independent American commission, which has been. formed to investigate the Cheng Tu missionary riots.

Secretary Carlisle has written that will be at his desk in the Treasury de- partment next Monday. Minister Rausom Geis Hin Salary. WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—Acting Comp- troller Bowers, after some deliberation, has countersigned the warrant issued by order ment of the draft drawn by ex-Senator Ran- #som on account of salary as United States minister to fco. This action of the acting compfoller seems to dispose of all question copgerying Mr. Ransom's right to recelve his saldry pending his confirmation by the senat MAJOR ARMES BEFORE THE COURT. Taken from the Arsenal by n Writ of Habeas Corp: WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—The counsel for Major Armtescfhis afternoon presented a writ of habeas-corpus to Judge Bradley of the District af:Golumbla supreme court. The papers state that both defendant and peti- tioner are citizens of the United States and relates that' the petitioner was arrested and confined upon a legal order for no of- fense receognized by any law. The peti- tioner prays that he may be brought into court and tha defendant made to show cause why the petitioner should not be set free Judge Bradicy ordered that the prisoner be brought before him immediately and a deputy marshal was sent to the arsenal. General Schofield said today that he re- gretted exceedingly -having been forced to take the action he did yesterday in the case of Major Armes, but being acting sec- retary of war at the time h» felt obliged to order his arrest solely in the interest of military discipline, and without regard to personal consideration. If he had not been acting as assistant secret of war, he said, he would have ignored the incident al- together. General Schofleld said it was far from his purpose to do an unkind act to anyone on the eve of his retirement, but he was forced to in the present. He did not purpos2, however, to do anything further in the premises, leaving the case entirely in the hands of Secretary Lamont, who will return to the city this evening or tomor- row. The facts in the case will be laid be- fore the secretary for his action, but Gen- cral Schofleld says he will make no formal charges against Major Armes. He said he had always been friendly toward the latter, and did not understand his enmity. It is sald at the War department that Major Armes will remain In confinement un- til his case is disposed of by Secretary La- mont, unless his release is ordered by the civil courts on a writ of habeas corpus. Any process of the civil courts in this case will bo immediately respected. No attempt will be made to resist an order for the release of the prisoner in casa it should issue. Under the regulations of the army the charges against Major Armes, if any are made, must be filed within eight days from the time of his arrest, and he must be brought to trial within ten days from the date of filing of charges. In case no charges are made against him, and he fs not brought 10 trial, he must be releasel at the expiration of thirty days after the the trial, or at the expiration of forty day from the date on which he should have been brought to trial. In some cases this mode of punishment has been practiced, the offender stmply being con- fined for the forty day limit without trial iring this period the confinement may be close” or “limited.” It “limited” the pr, oner may be given the freedom of the post in which he is confined, adjacent to the post, or even the state or territory in which the post is located. The conditions of imprison- ment are regulated by the secretary of war. Up to the present time, no charges have been filed against Major Armes, and Gen- eral Schofield disclaims any such intention. The latter ordered Armes under arrest be- cause of insubordination, and will simply re fer the objeetionable letter written to him to the secretary of war without recommend tion or commenty leaving the latter entirely free to act as he deems advisable.

H.- H Hart will soon go east to prosecute the claim of a ellent whose case bids fair to become as famolis as has the contest over Blythe's milliops. Mr. Hart has been re- tained by Mrs. Elizabeth Dale of Mountain View to support her elaim to one-seventh of a vast estate in Philadelphia, which is said to_be wort/;$36:000,000. Mrs. Dalgiohas waited over four-score years for Mer/millions, and the announce- ment that the passage of time will soon make it possible for her to put in her claim to the estate§ of her -ancestors comes rather too late for her to fully enjoy her good for- tune. She is. a deseendant of an Edward Findley, who lived in the early days of the nation. He owned thirty-four acres of land upon what was then the outskirts of a littls village, and as was not unusual in*those days of longevity, he granted a lease on it for ninety-nine years. The term of the lease will expire on November 1 next, and Mr Hart is now engaged in collecting proofs of the kinship of his elient to the orlginal owner of the land.

During the exammation of Sergeants Reynolds and Burke, who were called by the defence, questions were asked concerning & |y, shoe with a brown stain on the sole, found in the pastor’s study.

She came here to get away from the sensational scenes attend- ing the trial of Durrant. She has kept aloof from everybody and refuses to be in- terviewed. She still broods over her daughter’s fate and passes most of her time weeping. Today she went to Niagara Falls to spend some time with another relative. m IN THE DISTRICT COURT.

In mak'ng the appointments Judge Jonkiny A'sregarded the wishes of the trustees and the different bondholders. He safd that the h tory of receiverships demonstrated the lnai- vizability of appolnting recelvers who were connectel with contendng fections. Re- ceivers were officers of the courts and not agents of the parties interested in the prop- erty, and for this reason thcy should have T|but one single object—to eubserve the in terests of the property intrusted to them, ani should hold no other alleganca than to the . | court When Judge Jenkins concluded h's remarks Herbert E.

TWO RECEIVERS ENOUGH. Van Dyke, who appeared and third mortgage bondholders, with the suggestion that unless the had already fixed upon the appoint- » | ments he would ask that Thomas F.

Mr. Lowry, he stated, was satisfactory to the parties he represented. “It was yesterday court, ‘‘that t w. for the seconc " | opened suggested,” only ‘two recefvers esoary to take chargo of the | instead of three. The court is | cleatly informed to be able to declare that d | the labors of the management of the vast property can be properly performed or should t|be imposed upon two persons, but being | desirous of keeping the expenses down to & minimum, and the suggestion being uncom- | troverted by the counsel, the court will ven- ture the experiment and test the practic: !l bility of the scheme and will appoint but i | two receivers.

The court thinks it pertinent to say by what considerations it should be guided In making the appoin! nts of receivers, To a certain degree the practice of rafl- road receiverships has obtained for parties to agree on one or more names and suggest them to the court. The appointment usually follows as a matter of course, for if the parties concerned are contented the court may well be satisfled. Such receivers have severally represented conflicting interest uniting for one purpose. As the fight waxes warmer between the factions the heat of the conflict extends to the receivership, which in time becomes a war of factions ‘among the officers of the court. That was recently exemplified in a recefvership in the Northern Ilinois circult court., when the receivers of the court, when the war became bitter and as they became unable amicably to carry out he court, insulted the court and resigned on condition of the appointment of other par- ties individually. 1 do not propose that this shall ever again happen in any suit with which I may have anything to do MUST BE TRUE TO THEIR TRUST, “Now comes the question in hand. The receivers to be appointed by this court must come within the definition of the law, as I nstrue it They must be men entirely different to the contending factions; they must have no connection with this fight; they must be men who are strict and im- partial, and will perform the duties in single devotion to the trust and with no ulterior motives to serve. They must be men high character, capable of commanding the respect and confidence of the great public they are to serve. B ““WIith respect to the name of Mr. Lowryt Ho is at present president of the Soo rail- way, a line supposed to be operated by and in the interests of the Canadian Pacifie, which is a competing line with the Northern Pa- cific. And, although it has been suggested to me that Mr. Lawry, if appointed, would resign that position, the court s still very desirous that the men to be named should it possible be like Caesar's wife—above su picion and free from any relations with any- thing antagonistic to the Nérthern Pacific. When he concluded Judge Jenkins in- structed the attorneys to draw the order and he would sign it. DISAPPOINTED MR. LOWRY. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 28.—Thomas Lowry was a very much sufprised man when he received the news this morning from an Assoclated press man that Judge Jenkine had declined to appoint him one of the re- ceivers of the Northern Pacific rallway. He safd: “I consented to the use of my name at the request of a meeting in Chicago Thursday, where all the security holdes were represented. They had sent for me, and their request was totally unexpected. Personally, it is a matter of indiffere me, but it seems to me that the wish the security holders should at least infly it not control the court in the appointment of a receiver. 1 can imagine that some of the security hclders are rather uncomfortable over the way thelr wishes have been disre- began the would be property not suffi- v R AWFUL REVENGE, A Belated Story with a wort Flayvor.
