. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1895. STRIFE FOR A SEAT, Peculiar Condition of the Delaware Sen- atorship. SOME UNIQUE ASPECTS. Democrats May Take Advan- tage to Delay Republican Organization. ACTION OF THE GOVERNOR. He Will Probably Declare No Elec- tion Held and Make an Appointment. WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 10.—The condition in which the Delaware senator- ship was left by the adjournment of the Legislature of that State is regarded with special interest in Senatorial circles. It is believed that the case will present some acpects that are unique in the history of the Senate. It is held by some persons that the out- come of the contest may prevent the or- ganization of the Senate by the Republi- cans at the beginning of the next session. The Democrats may find it to their in- terest to continue in control of the com- mittees as long as possible. The Delaware question would be refe rred to the Commit- tee on Privileges and Elections, of which S r Gray of Delaware is now chair- In the case of a purely partisan con- test the control of the committee might be of no little importance to the Democrats. Senator Morgan of Alabama in discuss- ing the question said: “The action of the Governor in the premises will be of im- portance in determining the course of the Senate when the question of seating Mr. Dupont shall come up for consideration. The law requires a certificate of election from the Governor, and while I do not feel that I know sufficient of the facts in this case to express a positive opinion, I should say that the presumption would be against a man who would apply to be seated with- out presenting such evidence of the validity of his claims. I know of but one instance in which the Senate has seatéd a man in the absence of a certificate of election from the Governor and that was in the case of Conkling, whose certificate failed to arrive on one occasion in time for the organization of the Senate. In that case, however, Mr. Conkling’s election was undisputed, and there was a telegram saying the certificate was on the way to Washington. “The only way in which the Delaware Democrats can legitimately secure a hear- ing in the Senate is for Governor Watson to appoint a Senator on the theory that the Legislature had adjourned without electing, and this, I presume, he wili do. In that event, in all probability, there would be a close contest. I have differed from many of my Democratic colleagues in holding that under such circumstances the Governor of a State had a right to ap- point, and that when he did appoint it was the duty of the Senate to seat the ap- pointee. This was the question involved at the beginning of the Fifty-third Con- gress in the case of appointments from Washington, Montana and Wyoming, and I then took a position in favor of seating these men. You will remember, however, that the verdict of the Senate was against FREE MARINE POSTAL SERVICE. Mail Matters to Be Delivercd Among Shipping at Detroit. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—The Postmaster-General has decided to estab- lish a marine postal service at Detroit, Mich., for the free delivery and collection of mail matter for the vessels that pass up and down the Detroit River and carrying a floating population of 2500 to 3000. More tonnage passes Detroit than any other port in the world. During the season of navi- gation on the great lakes a vessel passed Detroit every seven minutes during the day of twenty-four hours. The new ser- vice will, therefore, be continuous, and will be conducted by means of a steam launch, which will be used by the postal cmployes. The new service will be main- tained through the free delivery appro- priation in the bureau of the First Assist~ ant Postmaster-General. Mail will be de- livered to the vessels by carriers just as it is to ordinary business houses. SN oy MEN ¥FAILED TO PASS. Women Proved Their Intellectual Superi- ority in a Civil Service Contest. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 10.— ‘Woman'’s rights advocates will find pieas- ure in the remarks of the Civil Service Commission on an examination recently held for library cataloguer and library clerk for the Agricultural Department. Of the thirty applicants for the former, all the men failed fo pass, while five out of the sixteen women did so. Of the ten appli- cants for the latter eight men failed and two women passed. Although Secretary Morton wanted men for the places, he was moved by these re- sults to change his mind, and appoiunted Miss E. H. Wales of Cnicago clerk, and Miss G. F. Leonard of Albany, N. Y., State library cataloguer. Every can of Dr. Price’s Baking Powder has the same fine and even quality as that which won highest honors at World’s and Midwinter Fairs. ADMIRAY, MEADE'S CRITICISM. it May Cause the Officer to Receive an Overhauling. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—There was considerable talk about the Navy De- partment to-day of the published interview with Admiral Meade criticizing the ad- ministration. Criticism of a superior is an offense, according to naval regulations. It is possible that the Secretary of the Navy and President may pay no attention to the admiral's utterances, but inasmuch as a court-martial has been ordered on the charges preferred by Admiral Meade against surgeon of the navy for giving certain matter to the press, the admiral’s apparent violation of naval regulations may be presented to the attention of the department ‘by officers of the navy es- pecially interested in Surgeon Kershner. A sl Have No Fears of Japs. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—The at- tention of Minister Kurino in Japan was ca]le‘d to a dispatch from San Francisco. published yesterday, intimating that there is a liability of trouble from the Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands. Kurino cha acterized the statement as absurd and ri- diculous. The Japanese in Hawaii, he says, are an orderly and industrious people. Most of them are farmers, and | raising none have received a military training. They have shown no disposition to be tur- bulent or to do anything more than pre- serve the status secured them by the treaty. Aol o COLONEL CRAIGHILL PROMOTED. He Will Succeed General Casey as Chief of Engwneers. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—Colonel W. P. Craighill has been appointed to suc- ceed Brigadier-General Casey as chief of engineers ot the United States. Colonel William B. Craighill, who was appointed to-day chief of engineers of the army, was born in Virginia and graduated from the military academy at West Point in 1853, ranking second in a class of fifty- two. In 1863 he was appointed chief en- gineer of the Department of the Monon- gahela, and was breveted lieutenant-colonel for services at the defense of Cumberland Gap. His subsequent services have been principally on defensive works of the har- bors of San Francisco, New York and Bal- timore, and he is now in charge of the rivers and harbors in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware, with headquarters at Baltimore. cidl S Pacific Coast Pensions.

C., May 10.—Secre- tary Gresham is reperted to be getting along very well and steadily improving. Representative Hitt had a good day, the best since his illness became so critical. HONOR FOR A CALIFORNIAN Dr. Cole Elected President of the American Medical Association. The Establishment of a Natlonal Health Department Urged by General Holton. BALTIMORE. Mbp., May 10.—The Amer- ican Medical Association elected the fol- lowing officers to-day for the ensuing year: President, Dr. R. Beverly Cole, California; first vice-president, Dr. J. J. Chisholm, Maryland; second vice-president, Dr. J. G. LeGrand Cole, Alabama; third vice-presi- dent, Dr. Augustus B. Clark, Massachu- setts; fourth vice-president, Dr. T. P. Sat- terwhite, Kentucky ; treasurer, Dr. Henry P. Newman, Illinois; secretary, Dr. Frank ‘Woodbury, Pennsylvania; librarian, Dr. G. E. Weir, Illinois; for members of the board of trustees—Dr. Alonzo Garcelon, Maine; I. H. Love, Missouri, and James Reeves, Tennessee. The following were named as delegates to the meeting of foreign medical socie- ties: Dr. W. H. Daly of Pittsburg; J. H. Ouchterlony, Louisville; J. M. Love, St. Louis; C. G. Chaddick, St. Louis; L. M. Montgomery, Chicago; A. E. Rockey, Portland, Or.; I. N. Quimby, Jersey City, and H. H. Diedlock, Baltimore. Next year’s convention will be held at Atlanta. General H. J. Holton of Virginia made an address on ‘““State Medicine,” in which he advocated the establishment of a Na- tional health department, to be presided over by an additional Cabinet officer, and said the American Medical Association would never rest satisfied until an addi- tional health department was established and provisions made for a permanent National quarantine. Mr. Woolsey of Philadelphia said there was no use to establisnh quarantines or to do anything else looking to the prevention and spread of disease as long as the dirty paper money was in circulation. A resolution was adopted memorializing Congress to /pass bills placing acting as- sistant surgeons to serve in war on the same plane as if first lieutenants in the regular army. The new president, Beverly Cole of San Francisco, was introduced and made a felicitous speech, after which the associa- tion adjourned sine die. S 10 = THEY OBJECT TO THE BILL. New York Police Commissioners Do Not Want to Lose Their Powers. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 10.—If Mayor Strong and the Legislature at Albany heed the formal expression of opinion of the Police Board on the Ainsworth supple- mentary police bill that measure will not become a law. The bill was passed by the Legislature on Wednesday and came be- fore the Mayor for his approval to-day. The Police Commissioners were invited to state their views to the Mayor at a meet- ing of the board to-day. President Roose- velt said: “This bill takes away from the commission all power of trying cases or charges against members of the force and intrusts it to the superintendent and to a local board convened by him. The board of police hereby resolve that they will ap- pear in a body before the Mayor 10 protest against this legislation as thoroughly vicious and unwise. It practically would reduce the board to a nullity. In short, the bill is in the interest of all that is bad in the old system, adding much that is worse. The board of itself will give the superintendent proper disciplinary powers, but it must be done in the proper way.” The other members of the board coin- cided with the views of Mr. Roosevelt.

France Takes a Hand in the War in the Far East. i SHE IS AFTER FORMOSA. Great Britain Expected to Back Up the Peculiar Demand. VERY SLY ARE THE POWERS, They Promise Japan to Have China Promptly Pay the Big Indemnity. LONDON, Exc., May 11.—A dispatch from Shanghai says that France has for- mally protested against Japan annexing the island of Formosa and has preferred a number of prior claims. It is regarded as certain that Great Britain will strongly in- sist on France’s claim. A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid says that Spain’s adhesion to the three powers that protested to Japan against the annexation of territory in Manchuria was promised only on condition that the pow- ers induce Japan to abandon Formosa. A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: M. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has invited the leading financiers to meet Saturday to consider the impend- ing Chinese loan, the ways in which the bourse might co-operate, and the condi- tions on which French capital might par- ticipate. One reason for this action on the part of Hanotaux is that Russia, France and Germany, in return for Japan’s pliancy in acceding to their demand, prac- tically engaged to hasten if not to secure the punctual payment of indemnity. It will not be surprising if the loan reaches £180,000,000. The powers while discussing so important a financial proposition will not arrive ata decision without consult- ing London, without whose co-operation such an enterprise could not be under- taken. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—Large opportunities of the introduction of Amer- ican machinery and the investment of American capital are offered by the peace agreement Japan has just effected with China. A provision is made that China shall hereafter be open to the introduction of all forms of modern machinery, and that such machinery shall be admitted free of duty. American cotton machinery should benefit, especially from the new opening presented, and also telephones, electric lights, printing presses and many other devices of civilization which hereto- fore have been kept out of China. The Emperor of China has hitherto pro- hibited the introduction of modern ma- chinery. As a result the Chinese are using wooden plows similar to those used cen- turies ago here. Modern tools are included under the head of machinery and mechan- ical devices, so the American plow and other implements and tools will enter China free of duty, It is stated that cotton machinery will be brought at once into extensive use, thus enlarging the demand for the raw cotton of the Southern States. The Chirese use so much cotton that the FEmperor granted a monopoly of using cotton machinery to the Viceroy of the southern provinces of China. He has since produced large quantities and has pre- vented the British and Americans at Shanghai and elsewhere from using simi- lar machinery. Now, however, the Viceroy’s monovoly is at an end and American machinery is expected to be freely introduced there. The privileges secured by Japan are en- joyed by the world at large, as the most favored nations clause compels China to give other countries the same favors ex- tended to Japan. PAY1 The Morgan-Belmont Syndicate Return- ing Some Contributions. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 10.—Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co. and August Belmont & Co., managers of the syndicate that undertook to place the last issue of Gov- ernment bonds, namely, $62,500,000 of 4 per cents, have sent notices to their asso- ciates that they would return 40 per cent of the money contributed to finance that igsue. The gross purchase price of the 4-per- cent bonds issued last February was in round figures $65,000,000, all of which the syndicate contracted with the Govern- ment to pay in gold. One-half the amount was to be obtained by the sale of half the bonds abroad and the remainder by marketing the bonds here. To insure the success of this programme the two banking honses mentioned and their as- sociates paid into the treasury at once $32,500,000 in gold. The bonds were sold in - due time, and the money received therefor from domestic purchasers has re- mained in the hands of the syndicate managers ever since, =Under the syndicate’s contracts it man- agers were entitled to use all this money until next October, chiefly for the purpose of controlling the market for sterling ex- change. That market has now receded, owing to heavy sales of bills against securi- ties sold abroad, to a point that makes it unnecessary for the syndicate to retain all the capital contributed for its opera- tions; hence the return of a part of the amount. It is understood that payments will be made in checks, although mem- bers of the syndicate furnished gold when they became parties to the Government bond operation.

WORCESTER, Mass., May 10, — Phil- lip W. Moen, president of the Washburn & Moen Company of this city, said this afternoon regarding the purchase of the plant of the California Wirerope Works by his company: “The dispatch from San Francisco relative to this matter is based on truth. There has been no combination of the Washburn-Moen Company with the California company, however, and will be none. We have purchased for a fraction of the price mentioned the wirerope ma- chinery of the California Wirerope Works, with the good will of that company. “We have also secured control of the patents covering the wirerope machinery owned by A. 8. Hallidie. We have leased, for a term of years, the buildings of the California company used for the manufac- ture of wirerope. The plant is used prin- cipally for the manufacture of large wire- rope cables for railways, and for use in the mines on the Pacific Coast. We have been operating the plant some little time, and have in process of construction a thousand or more large cables. The plant will be operated in conjunction with our plant here.” e g WESLEYAN DAY OBSERVED. Anniversary of the Founding of the Methodist Church. CHICAGO, Trr., May 10.—The third ob- servance of Wesleyan day in memory of the founding of the Methodist church was celebrated at the Auditorium by the Methodists of Chicago last night. Despite the high temperature the big building was packed to the doors, fully 5000 people be- ing present. After a few introductory re- marks by President Charles E. Piper ofthe Methodist Social Union Mayor Swift made a short address on the work accomplished by Wesley and his followers, and was fol- lowed by the Rev. William F. McDowell, chancellor of the University of Denver, who spoke on “The Relation of Methodism to Social and Civic Problems.” President Warner Miller of the Nica- ragua canal board followed with an ad- dress upon “The Influence of Methodism in the Organization and Development of our Government.” An address by Dr. E. A. Schell, general secretary of the Epworth League, upon “A Layman’s Movement” closed the pre- gramme. Between the addresses musical numbers were rendered on the great Andi- torium organ, a chorus of 1000 voices tak- ing part. MAKES FALSE REPORTS, Serious Charges Against the President of an Insur- ance Company. Other Officers in the Concern Are Defendants In a Suit for Removal. DETROIT, Micr., May 10.—A sensa- tional suit, in which an accounting of the Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Company and the removal of President Oscar B. Looker are prayed for, was begun in the Wayne Circuit Court this afternoon. The complainants are ex-Vice-President Joseph W. Dusenbery of this city et al. Several officers and directors of the com- pany are made party defendants with the president. The bill alleges for ten years past President Looker has made false state- ments concerning the company’s affairs, reporting the valuation of its real estate, for instance, at a valuation largely in ex- cess of its market value. It is charged that mortgages taken to secure future pre- miums on life insurance policies have been treated asassets withoutany countercharge in the accounts of policy holders or other- wise; also, that the reports made to tha State Insurance Commissioner have em- bodied policies which have long since ex- pired. Various other charges are made against President Looker to the effect that he has manipulated the company’s balance in his own interests and with the intent to de- fraud the stockholders. An investigation and accounting is prayed for. el ae e REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR. ZThe Ranger Appears in Time to Check a . Bombardment. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 10.—A special to a morning paper from Bahama, dated May 9, says: The British bark Chala,which arrived here this morning, carried 150 troops of the Ecuador Government from Manta, convoyed by the gunboat Coto- paxi, carrying 200 to Puntasua, off Esmer- alda, May 3. In trying to effect a landing the troops met with continuous firing from the shore and were forced to retreat with heavy losses. Captain Bayano of the Cotopaxi, realizing the uselessness of his guns at the distance from Puntasua, turned his course to a point nearer to Esmeralda and began to shell the town effectively. Then he threatened a regular bombardment un- less the rebels evacuated their position within twenty-four hours. At this juncture the Ranger, under cable orders of the United States to protect American 1nterests, made its appearance. It was a timely entrance on the scene. Captain Watson of the Ranger landed im- mediately under a flag of truce, and his wise counsel and friendly influence pre- vailing, the rebels quitted Esmeralda and Captain Bayano assumed possession. The rebels remain encamped in the vi- cinity. The revolution is everywhere gain- ing in Ecuador. General Alfaro has been proclaimed its leader. The rebel general, Bowen, holds Babahoyo, which is on the Guayas, seventy miles from Guayaquil, with an army of 1200 men.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 10.—On the sidewalk in front of 36 North Seventh street, at 9 A. M. to-day, in the presence of a throng of passers-by, August Tepper, manufacturer of novelties, aged 36 years, shot Clara Herhold, alias Schmidt, aged 26, twice in the right side. He then sent a bullet into his head, dying almost in- stantly. The girl died half an hour later. Tepper is a married man. He was des- perately in love with Miss Herhold, but his advances were coldly received. The girl came from Germany a year ago and lived with Tepper’s family as a servant. Tepper’s attentions became so annoying to her that she left the place a month ago. Tepper's annoyance of the girl did not cease, and last week she swore ount a war- rant for his arrest. As she had no money it was not served. Tepper's wife refused to receive his body and it was taken to the Morgue. Ll Revolution in Nicaragua. NEW YORK, N.

HOT FIGHTS IN CUBA, Victories Claimed by the Opposing Forces. MANY SPANIARDS SLAIN Insurgents Claim That They Yet Have a Chance to Succeed. MINOR DEFEATS FOR THEM. Spain, HoweVer, Is Determined to Crush the Rebellion in Short Order. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 10.—A special to the World from Songo, Cuba, says: A ‘World correspondent interviewed General Maceo, who was found in his camp in the forest a league from Jaragueca and forty miles from Santiago. General Maceo gave ont some details of the fight at Hondo Creek, near Guantana- mo, in which his brother, Jose Maceo, who is not dead after all, had a sharp encounter with 500 Spanish soldiers of Simanceo’s regiment, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Bosch. The Spaniards were attacked from am- bush. Jose Maceo had 700 followers. The Spaniards admit a loss of sixteen killed and several officers wounded. According to a letter just received by General Maceo from his brother the Spaniards suffered severely. The Cubans used their machetes with deadly effect when the Spanish sol- diers had fired away their ammunition. Maceo placed his men in position in thickets along the bank of the Hondo, which at that point is a stream about thirty feet wide. Colonel Bosch ap- proached early in the morning along the bank of the creek, and on receiving the fire of the rebels drew his men into posi- tion in a canefield. The firing continued until 1 o’clock. As usual, the Spaniards wasted much ammunition needlessly, and when it was exhausted Jose Maceo charged across the river and cut many down with the machetes. One of Maceo's lieutenants, a ¥rench half-breed named Alcide de Verger, rode recklessly to the creek, calling on his men to use their machetes. A shot from the Spaniards killed the daring man. The Spanish regu- lars were aided by 200 volunteers from Guantanamo. Colonel Bosch’s men with- drew when they had fired away their am- munition. This is a fatal fault of the Spaniards. The officers appear to make no effort to prevent the soldiers from banging away as fast as they can. When armed with a swift breech-loading magazine rifle like the Mauser it does not take long to throw away the 100 rounds with which each man is provided. Jose Maceo was left in his position, and he still held it when the steamer left this morning for Santiago. TAMPA, Fra., May 10.—Passengers ar- riving on the steamer Mascotte say the condition of things is encouraging to the Cuban insurgents. It is said that Cama- guey has been invaded by Gomez, who, with 3000 insurgents, besieged Guimaro on Monday. There were about 2000 Spaniards in the city. After the fighting, which became disastrous for the besieged, a regiment of Cadiz numbering about 2500 arrived, attacking the Cubans in the rear. Gomez quickly recovered from the first onslaught. While a small force kept up the conflict with the forces of the city his main body faced the new enemy. The fighting was very fierce, but it is as- serted that the strategy of Gomez and valor of the insurgents resulted in a vic- tory. The regiment of Cadiz, it is said, was cut to pieces. The city, the passengers say, is in the possession of the insurgents. The Cuban loss of killed and wounded is put at 700. Spanish loss 3000. Smallpox and yellow fever are very prevelant. Campos is said to be greatly displeased with the situation and the in- surgent leaders are hopeful of another crisis in the Cabinet, which will require Campos to return to Spain. The Cubans assert that dissatisfaction exists among the troops over the execu- tion of Gallego. On this account Lieu- tenant Mahey, who was taken to Havana for execution, was not executed, but was decorated with medals for valor. MADRID, Sparx, May 10.—The defeat of the Cuban insurgents under Matagas has been officially confirmed. The rebels set fire to the railway bridge between Caminos and San Luis. More troops have arrived in Cuba, and the campaign will now be more actively pushed. The report from Tampa of a re- pulse on Monday of a Spanish force at Guimaro by the rebels under Gomez is de- nied by the officials here, who say that no open engagement occurred. Senor Castellane, Colonial Minister, stated in the Cortes to-day that Captain- General Martinez de Campos was author- ized to introduce reforms in Cuba the moment he deemed the time opportune. A dispatch received here from Havana says the Spanish troops operating against the Cuban rebels have dispersed two bands, one commanded by Matagas and the other by Castillon, capturing their arms and ammunition.

LONDON, Excraxp, May 10.—The new board of directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada held a meeting to-day and electea Sir Charles Rivers Wilson president and Joseph Price vice-president. Sir Charles Rivers Wilson succeeds Sir Henry Tyler, who resigned. He was put forward for this office in the circulars of the shareholders’ committee, which suc- ceeded in securing a majority of the proxies of the company tock. It will be remembered that he spent some monthsin this country last fall investigating the Central Pacific Railroad and its relations to the Southern Pacific on behalf of the English bondholders. He has long been prominent in financial circles in England, and has held many important positions of honor and trust under the English Gov- ernment. He was one of its commission- ers in readjusting the Egyptian debt ques- tion. —_———— OBJECTIONS TO DUELING. Practice of Soldiers and Students Com- mented on in the Reichstag. BERLIN, GerwMANY, May 10.—In the Reichstag Herr Bebel, Socialist, attacked the practice of dueling, which he declared was contrary to religion and morality. He especially commented upon the students’ associations, in which dueling was for- mally recognized. The Minister of war, General Bronsart von Schellingdorf, replied that Herr Bebel was incapable of understanding the views of army officers on this question. Dueling, he added, wasonly resorted to in the army when all endeavors looking to a peaceable settlement of the matter in dispute had failed. BENEFICIAL 70 BOLNIA Conclusion of the Treaty of Peace With Chile. By the Terms the Little Republic Gains Territory and a Pacific Port. BUENOS AYRES, ArRGENTINE, May 10.— A dispatch from Valparaiso to-day states that the treaty of peace and friendship has been concluded between Chile and Bolivia, by which the former cedes to Bolivia a small strip of territory and a portion of the Pacific midway between Iquique and Pisagua. Chile, in return, receives great commercial advantages. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—The conclusion of the Chile-Bolivia treaty is said to be of far-reaching importance, par- ticularly to Bolivia, as it makes the latter a Pacific coast country after it has been shut inland for ten years. Officials here say that when Chile concluded her war against Peru and Bolivia, the victors took all the seacoast territory of Bolivia, leav- ing her land-locked, like Switzerland, with- out opportunity for commerce by the Pa- cific, and unable to maintain a navy. In 1884, a treaty of truce was effected between Chile and Bolivia, but the latter did not get back her coast territory. After re- maining hemmed in for ten years, Bolivia now gains a Pacific port and a strip of territory. This will enable her to resume commerce by the Pacific without crossing Chilean soil, and it will permit a re-estab- lishment of her navy. Minister Cana of Chile has not been officially advised of the conclusion of the treaty.

A percentage reduction is being made on the European output. The details of the agreement are to be ratified at the monthly meeting of the producers next week. A Rebuff to German Ministers.
