Carnival Guests Are Al- ready Arriving in the City. CLOTHED IN GAY COLORS. Streets and Buildings Artis- tically Decorated for the Festival. ACTIVITY AT HEALDSBURG The City Council Appropriates Money to Carry On the Prepa- rations for the Fete. SANTA ROSA, CaL., May 7.—The build- ings are assuming a holiday attire. The huge courthouse is lined with the cardinal color, arranged in picturesque designs, while the decorating of business houses and residences is going on with increased energy. Fourth street presents a network of Japanese lanterns, to be lighted up each night. Everything indicates an elabor- ately decorated city. Strangers are already beginning to arrive. The noon train on the Southern Pacific was loaded with visitors. plain that the full capacity of the city to provide lodgings for the guests will be put to the test, but it is confidently believed that all who remain over night will be cared for. Governor Budd and ten of his personal staff will arrive on the morning train on Thursday. They will be here to witness the parade. A box has been reserved for them at the theater for each evening. Chairman Campbell will call the asgem- bled thousands to order Wednesday even- ing at 7:30 o’clock, when the exercises for the evening will begin. The queen will be crowned at this meeting. On Thursday evening the concert by Roncovieri's band will come off, and on Friday evening the grand carnival ball. An army of ladies has been at work in the Athen®um decorating it and getting it ready for the coronation of the queen. The association floats are all built and ready for the decorations. Dozens of wagons are running from town to country bringing in flowers, ferns and evergreens. Telegrams are coming in every hour ask- ing for hotel, room and amphitheater ac- commodations. A number of amphithe- aters have been built along the line of march for the accommodation of people who want to view the gorgeous pageant. The weather has been very favorable for the past three days for tlowers, and the roses will be out in all their glory Thurs- day. The keys of the city will be surrendered to the queen by the Mayor of the city at the Athen um following the coronation. The formal opening of the flmoer show will then occur. The triumphal procession, with its pageants of floral floats on Thursday, will be two miles long. For weeks past Santa Rosa people have been devising plans to make this a unique parade. There will be fourteen floats in line and vehicles of every description. No less than 200 bicycles gorgeously decorated will take part. Three brass bands will march in the procession. After the parade will come the battle of roses, and in the evening there will be an illuminated parade and drill. Friday will be given up to sports. There will be a balloon ascension and parachute jump and a baseball game between Santa Rosa and Stanford University. Special Rates to the Carnival. The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company is going to run special trains to the Santa Rosa Rose Carnival. Commencing with Thursday, the 9th inst., the round trip will cost §1, the train leav- ing Tiburon ferry at 7:40 A, ., and return- ing leave Santa Rosa at 7:45 p. M. Tickets good up to Saturday, the 11th inst., will be $2 for the round trip, and they will be on sale on the 8th, 9th and 10th inst. The Rose Carnival is expected to be a great success, and as Santa Rosa is now looking its best visitors may expect a pleas- ant outing. The railroad company is mak- ing every preparation for the accommoda- tion of passengers sono hitch can be an- ticipated. HEALDSBURG’S COUNCIL ACTS. Money Appropriated to Beawtify the City for the Carnival. HEALDSBURG, CiL., May 7.—In the battle of ballots to-day Miss Emma Wid- lund received a vote sufficiently large to retain her in first place. The admirers of the Lytton Springs belle are pressing her olaims in a manner that is cgusing the friends of the candidates from Healdsburg some uneasiness. Miss Livernash is sec- ond in the race, Miss Lena Zane third, Miss Zoe Bates fourth, Miss Carrie Moul- ton fifth. The City Council of Healdsburg desires to make the flower festival a success. This was evidenced at a meeting held by the board last night, when every request made by the Floral Association delegates was granted. The municipality will appropri- ate funds with which to properly decorate the City Hall and plaza. It wasalso or- dered that the Street Commissioner see that the streets are properly sprinkled and cleaned on carnival days. ‘“‘Healdsburg will be at a test at that time,” observed Mayor Young, “and we must all see that our town is in ship- shape.” So this morning a score of men are at work in the residence portions of Healds- burg beautifying the thoroughfares. Many seem to be under a wrong impres- sion relative to the floral festival. All the exercises connected with the carnival will be had in the open air, in full view of the visitors. The coronation ceremony will take place in the public square, the plat- form erected being sufficiently high to ena~ ble all to witness the ceremony. From this throne her Majesty will issue all edicts, and she will ride in state through the business and residence streets. On Center street all the races will take place. Men and teams will be put to work and this broad thoroughfare put in condi- tion for the races. Rows of seats will be erected on either side, thus insuring a fine view of all the contests free of any expense. The floral festival is not & money-making scheme entered into by the people of Northern Sonvma. Instead, it is a three days’ fete intending to give visitors a proper conception of the floral wealth of this section, and amusement and recrea- tion. 9 The contests are filling finely. In the several bicycle races not less than 100 wheelmen have already entered. The bat- It is | tle of flowers on Saturday will also be a novel feature. The Indian pony races and exhibition of rough riding will prove inter- esting, bat the main feature in the amuse- ment line will be a riding tournament. In former years these tournaments was very popular in Scnoma County, and this region boasted some of the best borsemen in the State. So the contest, which is for a liberal prize, is exciting a deal of inter- est. Many teams have entered the tilting battle, which will take place Friday after- noon. Not fewer than fifty knights on fiery steeds will try to win the trophies. In the way of floral exhibits, banks of ferns, maidenhair, strawberry vines and wild flowers will compete with the choicest buds and blossoms of hothouse and gar- den. From twenty miles in every direc- tion the gardens will be robbed of all their blossoms to make up the display in Healdsburg. Representatives of the asso- ciation are scouring the country to secure this collection, and everywhere the farmers and townspeople are willing to send every flower contained in their gardens. While amusements will be furnished the amuse- ment-loving class the floral display will interest all. ILLEGAL IMPRISONMINTS, Protest in Behalf of Young Girls Madeby Christian Endeavorers. SEDALIA, Mo., May 7.—Before the final adjournment to-day of the Missouri con- vention of Christian Endeavor societies resolutions were adopted reciting that for many years past the constitution of the United States has been constantly vio- lated in Missouri and civil liberty outraged, in that helpless girls and women have been illegally, cruelly and without due pro- cess of law incarcerated in prison-houses not recognized under the law, viz.: nun- neries, reformatories, convents and other institutions of like nature, from which they cannot be released except by expen- sive litigation. The Governor and Legis- lature are called upon to prevent such de- tention. T0 ARREST THE EOVERAGR Dissatisfied State Employes After the Scalp of Mr. Morrill. He Says He Offered to Pay Them for Extra Work Out of His Own Pooket. TOPEKA, Kaxs., May 7. — Governor Morrillt has returned to Topeka, but no warrant to still insist, however, that the ar- rest will be made. Referring to the vouchers, which are causing him all this trouble, Governor Morrill said: *The employes in the office came to me | and said that they thought they ought to be paid for the work they did for the State | T agreed with them |- and proposed to pay them outof my own | prior to inauguration. pocket, as we did a vast amount of work duriny that time. “They would not listen to my proposi- tion to pay them, but insisted that the work was done for the State, and the State should pay for it. They asked that vouchers be made for that werk, ‘for extra services during the Legislature.” I could not listen to that. “I supposed that if T had made out those vouchers for ‘extra services’ we would never have heard of it again, but I don’t propose to do business in that way.” WHITAKER HAS WHITMAN, The Prisoner Being Brought Here to Answer for Forgery. CHICAGO, Irr, May 7.—Officer Ross Whitaker of San Francisco arrived in the city last night, having in custody A. J. Whitman. The latter was arrested in New York two weeks ago on a charge of forgery. The officer is taking Whitman back o San Francisco, where the offense, it is sail, was committed. Whitman is 35 yearsof age. ror of Four years ago, it is said, he was \f Duluth, and he has alsobeen ame several terms of the Minnesota Legis His father was A. J. Whitman, a we lumberman who died five y ing an estate valued at near] ,000,000. Several months ago Whitman, it is said, was in San Francisco. While there it is claimed he presented a check for $500 at the Nevada Bank. It was drawn on the Farmers’ and Traders’ Bank of New York, and was signed by Frank Dixon and in- dorsed by A. J. Whitman. It was claimed the check was forged. Whitman was ar- rested in Detroit, but was released on habeas corpus proceedings. In New York four attempts by the same means were made to secure his freedom, but Officer Whitaker finally succeeded in getting him started for San Francisco. The prisoner spent last night atthe Central Station, and will be taken West this evening. — FULTON GORDON’S TRIIL. Dispute as to the Admission of a State- ment Made to the Police. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 7.—The ex- amining trial of Fulton Gordon, who killed his wifeand Arch Dixon Brown a week ago, was to-day commenced in the District Court. The evidence produced to-day was in substance the same as has already 1 published regarding the tragady Tiere was a hot argumdht over the admizsion of Gordon’s statement to the officers after the killing. Gordon’s counsel clarmed that he was in such a condition both mentally and physically as not to be able to make an in- telligent statement. The prosecution contended that all the evidence went to show that Gordon had acted coolly and deliberately and that his confession to the police officers should, under the laws of evidence, be admitted. Judge Thompson said he would take the question under consideration until to- IMOITOW. e CYCLONE SUFFERERS. Many Kansas Families Are in Great Distress. NEWTON, Kans.,, May 7.—Twenty-five families rendered homeless by last Wednes- day’s cyclone are badly in need of help. Committees have been at work in Iarvey and adjoining counties, but the returns are not sufficient to fulfill the requirements of the sufferers. It is expected, however, that in a day or so more sugplics will come and the needy will be relieved. Resolutions have been passed by a mass- meeting asking the County Commissioners to make an additional appropriation of the funds of the county to aid the sufferers. It is probable that about one-fifth of the de- stroyed property will be restored to the losers by the charitable institutions of the county. ———— Killed Wife and Self. NEW YORK, N. Y. May 7.—James Herbert, a clerk in a wholesale shoe and leather house, killed his wife by cutting her throat with a razor yesterday. He fled and two hours later his body was bauled out of the East River with his throat cut. The husband had accused his wifeof infidelity with his sister’s husband. arrest him has been | sworn out. Attorneys for Warden Chase | CORNERING THE GOLD. Great Conspiracy of the Morgan-Rothschild Syndicate. ‘READY FOR MORE BONDS. Cleveland May Be Forced to Further Enrich the Money Kings. IMMENSE PROFITS ARE MADE. Nearly All the Yellow Metal in the United States Flowing In One Direction. CHICAGO, IrL., May 7.—A special to the Post from Washington says: The dis- covery is made that there is an actual basis for the report that the Morgan- Rothschild syndicate is conspiring to corner the gold market, though the story has been regarded as a foolish canard. It is a fact, however, that the brokers repre- senting the syndicate have been paying a premium for the refined gold output of the private refineries throughout the West during the last two months and that they are accumulating fine gold at the rate of $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 per month, which represents fully two-thirds of the entire gold output of the United States. The at- tention of the officials of the Treasury Department was first attracted to this pecu- liar business by the sharp falling-off in the deposits of gold at the mints, and inquiry very soon developed the fact that private parties were buying the products of the refineries. Further inquiry revealed that the metal was bought and was drifting to New York, where it is being put in store to the credit of the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate. In order to divert the stream from its usual channels leading into the United States mints, the private purchasers have been obliged to pay a premium of 14 to 14 cents. The premium paid for most of the gold was one-eighth of 1 per cent, but so anxious have been the buy- ers to increase their lines and get everything in sight that they have marked up their quotations during the last few days. At the present time they are get- ting practically the entire output of the United States, except from the extreme western coast. Many long-headed men in Washington and Wall street, who are familiar with the methods of the parties composing the syn- dicate, have jumped to the conclusion that the foundation is being laid for another bond deal before Congress meets again. The last bond deal of $52,000,000 has been pretty well ciosed out, over $51,000,000 in gold having been paid out of the $64,- 000,000, and it is generally believed that the entire deal will be cleaned up before the1st day of August. Under the terms of contract with the Treasury Department, the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate has an option on any new bonds that may be is- sued by the Government prior to October 1 next. The treasury is absolutely in their hands until that date. If from natural causes or through chicanery and manipulation the administration is obliged to issue another batch of bonds to maintain the gold re- serve, the sale must be made to the syndi- cate that took the last issue. There is no escape from such action. It was nominated specifically in the contract signed by direction of the President. The clause in which the syndicate agrees to maintain the treasury reserve leaves the syndicate to be judge as to what it can do in the premises or to what methods it shall adopt. If, in the carrying out of that moral obligation, the syndicate shall decide that the Government must issue another $100,000,000 or $50,000,000 in bonds, the administration will have nothing to do but comply with the terms. If the President does not want to issue any more bonds at the dictation of the syndicate, the reserve can be practically wiped out in ten days, and then if he should decide in self-protection to put out more bonds he must sell them to the Morgan-Rothschild people and nobody else. The new bonds are selling to-day in open market at 1.2134. They cost the syndicate 1.0414, which would show a profit of 17 voints in the operation, amounting in all t0 $10,540,000. It would not be fair to say the syndicate made that much out of the operation, but it is very safe to estimate its profits at $8,000,000. The syndicate is hur- rying the completion of its present deal with the Government. It#deposited over $1,000,000 to-day, which will bring the re- serve up to nearly $93,000,000. It will not have to complete these payments until the 1st of August, but the operation may be closed up within a few weeks. That will leave the syndicate a free field. o e MUST ANSWER QUESTIONS.

Cooper of the firm of Siegel, Cooper & Co. of Chicago be placed in jail and kept there until he signifies a willingness to satisfactorily answer ques- tions which he refused to-day to answer at the bar of the State Senate regarding-the affairs of the firm of which he is a mem- ber. Cooper, when brought before the Senate in pursuance of an investigation into the affairs of his firm in Chicago, in- stigated by a resolution introduced by Senator Salomon, refused, on advice of his attorney, to divulge the private affairs of his firm, and the Senate to-day, by a nar- row majority, decided to imprison him for the refusal. Sergeant-at-Arms Anderson declined to Fln_ca him in jail unless an indemnity reso- ution was passed to protect him (Ander- son)in case of action for false arrest and imprisonment. g e YET HELD IN QUARANTINE. The Government Waives Enforcement of Quarantine Laws. TAMPA, FrA., May 7.—The detention of the Spanish warship Infanta Isabella for having violated the quarantine laws by passing the quarantine station at Mullet Key the previous night is evidently creat- ing a stir. To-day the Collector of Customs received a telegram from the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington waiving quaran- tine regulations in the case of 5the Infanta Isabella. The telegram was submitted to the State Health Officer, who promptly wired the Secretary respectiull; ly protest- | ing against the relaxation of the United States law in this instance, adding, ““T-will enforce the State quarantine laws.” Dr, Porter, the State health officer, will visit the quarantine station to-morrow, and the Infante will be thoroughly examined end then released to-morrow night. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7.—The action of the Florida State Board of Health officials in refusing to release the Infanta Isabella was communicated to the Treas- ury Department to-day. Secretary Carlisle said to-night, in view of this action, there was nothing more for his department to do in the matter. If the vessel is now being held by the State of Florida under the State laws, that wasa matter with which he could not interfere. The United States having waived the provision of the quarantine regulations through which the Isabella is detained, it would not be surprising if the Spanish Government took official notice of the in- cident and lodged a complaint with the department. —_— SOLD A SALTED MINE. Arvest of a Denver Young Man for a Crooked Transfer. DENVER, Coro., May 7.—William H. Bolthoff, a son of Henry Bolthoff, boiler manufacturer, was arrested yesterday_ ona warrant charging him with obtaining $5500 in a mining deal under false pre- tenses. 2 George F. Wheeler, a wealthy West V!r- ginia capitalist, is the complaining wit- ness. He alleges that upon October 30, 1894, William H. Bolthoff and Samuel P. Corning transferred to him the placer claims Liebolt, Iron Mountain and Dead- wood, in Park County, which they claimed were rich in free gold. November 29 the plaintiff pald the defendants $5500 and agreed to pay $4500 July 1. Wheeler arrived in Denver two weeks ago, after having organized the South Park Mining Company in the East, and senta mining expert to the mines. 1t is said the expert’s report shows that the mines had been “salted.” SCANDAL AND A KILLING. rAn Enraged Father Shoots Three School Di- rectors. They Had Circulated Storles Re- flecting on the Shooter and His Daughters. COMO, Coro., May 7.—The Coroner’s jury to-day found the killing of School Di- rectors Wyatt, Taylor and McCurdy of the Tarryall district, by Benjamin Ratcliffe, to be felonious. The triple murder was the outgrowth of a most unsavory scandal. Ratcliffe lives with his two young daugh- ters alone. The girls have never been allowed to visit town or even neighboring ranches. Months ago passers-by claimed to have seen things reflecting upon the father. Ratcliffe had a dislike for the school board because they had refused to build a schoolhouse on his ranch, and he imagined the members originated the stories about him. This week he heard of a rumor that his daughter was in a delicate condition, for which Ratcliffe was held responsible. Yes- terday he went to the schoolhouse, know- ing that the school directors would be to- gether. He waited for awhile for E. R. Crozier, whom he also connected with the matter, to arrive. Finally he entered the schoolhouse and killed his three enemies. Crozier was only saved by his tardiness. Leaving, Ratcliffe went toward Como looking for Crozier, but missed him. Last night citizens held a meeting at Jeffer- son and made arrangements to go to Fair- vlay to-night to lynch Ratcliffe, but Sheriff ‘Wilson spirited his prisoner away, and his whereabouts is still a secret. e ki Buchanan Gets a Stay. SING SING, N. Y., May 7.—Warden Sage said that, acting on the advice of Attorney-General Hancock, he had abandoned the idea of executing Dr. Buchanan on Wednesday, when the second respite will expire. According to the opinion of the Attorney-General, the exe- cution must be delayed until the courts again decide the questions raised by Buchanan’s lawyers. No Mining There.
