1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1895. DEBS DID NOT COME Other Officers of the A.R. U. Returnto Jail. ONE PAROLE IS BROKEN. The Marshal Sends Deputies to Arrest the Missing Leader. OTHERS ARE NOW ON THE WAY. Howard WIll Not Serve In the Same Jail With His Former Asso- clates. CHICAGO, Irr., June 11.—Five of the officers of the American Railway Union returned to Woodstock jail on the 5:30 . M. train. President E. V. Debs failed to report in time for the train. He called on the Marshal at noon and was requested to report at 4 o'clock at the Marshal’s office with the others or at the Northwestern station at 5 o’clock. Messrs. Rogers, Keliher, Burns, Hogan aud Goodwin saw their chicf but an in- stant at noon and they could not account for his failure to report. Debs told Marshal that he had considerable business to transact, but he would be throu in time to take the train. Deputie: and Curran boarded the train with five men who had reported and Dep Clark returned to the Marshal’s office with Debs’ commitment papers. The Marshal w3 xed at the failure of Debs to report on time and he sent three men to look for him. “Bring him in wherever you find him,” was the Marshal’s order to his deputie “I do not think he has purposely mis the train,” said the Marshal, “yet his fail- ure to report on time is annoying. It places Mr. Debs in a bad light. 1 paroled him until 4 o'clock, and he should have been here. If he is found to-night he will remain in my office until train time in the morning.” Martin J. Elliott, the seventh man, wired that he was on to Chicago from uld be in some night. When the part; lliott was two d L time during tt was first sent to j; behind in reaching Chica, Owing to Debs’ failure to report George W. Howard secured another day’s respi Howard, who has quarreled with former associates and established arival organization, desired to serve his sentence separate from the others, and the desire was mutual. To-day Judge Woods wired Judge Showalter to transfer Howard from the Woodstock jail to the county jail at Joliet. Marshal Arnold intended taking Howard there on the 6 o’clock train to-night, but Debs’ absence gave Howard another hight with his family. The commitment papers were made out for six months in the Debs case and three months in each of the others, less seven- teen days served frora January 8 to Janu- ary 24, in the Woodstock jail. The com- mitment was made on the interstate com- merce contempt. The men are so sure that Judge Woods will reorder the Santa Fe sentence to be concurrent that they give themselves no concern on the probability of hav'\ng to serve double time. Up to a late hour to-night Debs had not returned.. Marshal Arnold sent all the available detectives of his office in a search for the missing prisoner, but not a trace of him was found. The Marshal does not believe that Debs may have run away, and he is inclined to think that Debs will make his appearance at the Woodstock jail to-morrow. Debs’ bondsmen are no longer liable for his return, as he surrendered himself to the Marshal at noon and that act relieved him of his bond Deputy Marshals Logan and Curran re- turned from Woodstock at a late hour. Debs had not reached there on the late train. One of the special deputies in search of Debs learned late to-night that Debs was last seen at 3:30 o'clock in company with W. P. Morrissey, the newly elected chief of the order of Railway Trainmen, and that they were on their way to the Marshal’s office. SOURI COMBINE. Its Formation Now Under Consideration at Chieago. CHICAGO, TIrr., June 11. — Passenger representatives of nearly every road be- tween Chicago and the Rocky Mountains were in session to-day at the office of Chairman Caldwell, considering the organ- ization of a strong asgociation to cover the territory in which they are interested. The meeting lasted all day, and at its close Chairman Caldwell, General Passenger Agent Sebastian of the Rock Island, and Assistant General Passenger Agent Smith of the Burlington were appointed a com- mittee to draw up an agreement which is to be presented to the meeting to-morrow. The committee was also directed to con- fer with the lines not represented and ascertain their views on the formation of an association. The lines not represented are the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Den- ver and Rio Grande and the Colorado Mid- land. The general feeling to-day was in favor of an association to cover all the territory from Chicago to Utah. There were, how- ever, lines which favored the associations— one in the territory between Chicago and the Missouri River and one between the Missouri River and Utah. The Denver and Rio Grande in particular is in favor of the latter plan. It wands a trans-Missouri association, with headquarters at Denver. The Colorado Midland is non-committal, and there are doubts whether the Missouri, Kansas and Texas will consent to come into the association. The committee will, without doubt, report to-morrow in favor of one association between Chicago and Utah, and it is fairly certain that the attempt to force such an association will fail. _— THE OREGON SHORT LINE. Union Pacific People Feeling Happier Over the Situation. OMAHA, Nesr., June 11.—To-day there was noticeble a much happier feeling in the Union Pacific headquarters than was apparent yesterday upon the receipt of Judge Merritt’s decision in the Short Line |4 and Utan Northern case. The arrival of Managing Receiver Clark and his talk with the heads of departments had the ef- fect of reviving confidence in the Short Line situation, as Judge Merritt's order goes further than the Union Pacific people bad dared hope, Asit is now understood, | it simply means an honest and conserva- tive management of the properties in Utah, whether under a separate receiver- ship or under the present receivers, who are the servants of the Utah court. Judge Merritt, in his order, said that the property in his jurisdiction must be man aged not in the interest of rival roads to the Union Pacific, but for the benefit of the property as a whole. In this case, accord- ing to the Union Pacific management, the Judge had reference to the Great North- ern, Oregon Railway and Navigation Com- pany, the Rio Grande Western, and, to a small degree, the Burlington and Mis- souri, e AN ADDRESS BY IRELAND. Golden Jubilee and Commencement at Notre Dame University. SOUTH BEND, Inp., June 11.—The gol- den jubilee and annual commencement of Notre Dame University began to-day. Many high dignitaries of tue church and laymen from all parts of the country are present. The celebration of the pontifical | high mass of than ing marked the be- ginning of the day. The music was of rare | excellence, prepared especially for the oc- | casion. The celebrant was Archbi der of Cincinnati, in whose provinc diocese lies. The sermon was by Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul. He sketched the history of the institution, and coming to the matter of church and state schools said he had no quarrel with the latter. He was prond of state institutions of learning, as also of many other things that were American, but the conditions under which the Amer- ican schools are conducted make it neces- sary for the church to increase its effort to bring the young of her schools within Ler fold, in science particularly. The Arc bishop advocated more zealous efforts in Catholic education. The university is in holiday attire and this afternoon the chimes rang out over a campus filled with people. GOING 70 THE BIG SHOW. President Cleveland Promises to Attend the Cotton States Exposition. vited to Make the Southern Journey. WASHINGTON, D.

The platform also favors a graduated State tax upon incomes and a State inheri- tance tax similar to those of New York and Illinois; demands a State tax of 10 per cent upon, all future contracts made payable in gold, the same to be paid by the holder, and also calls for the adoption of the initiative and referendum. | THREATEN TO BOLT.

Commander Ide protested that he had not been discourteous, but had properly saluted both of his superiors. “If you say that,” said Admiral Meade, ‘““then I will not only make charges of dis- courtesy against you, but of untruthful- ness as well.” Commander Ide will probably demand a court-martial inquiry.

C., June 11L.—A Venezuelan tribute to the memory of the late Secretary Gresham has come to the State Department through Minister An- drade in the shape of a note addressed to him by Senor Jose Pulido, the Venezuelan Minister for Foreign Affairs. The message has a peculiar significance, in view of the fact that the late Secretary had hoped to make his policy in the Veneznelan bound- ary dispute the crowning glory of his ad- ministration. The letter is as follows: MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE UNITED STATES OF VENEZUELA, DEPARTMENT OF PuBLic Law. CARACAS, May 29, 189&} SiR: Yesterday at a late hour I received your telegram announcing the death of his Excellency, Mr. Gresham. This calamity must affect all who in the last two years have fol- lowed with any degree of interest the course of the foreign policy of the United States in which that distingnished statesman was dis- playing the great gifts of his intellect. Ven- ezuela is necessarily one of the countries of America in which this event has caused the greatest sorrow, ipasmuch as that noble gen- tleman had displayed on various occasions and in an eloquent manner the cordial feelings by which he was actuated toward the Republic. Please convey the expression of the sincere sentiments of our people to the Department of State in order that it may be communicated to his Excellency, President Cleveland. The national flag has this day been ordered to be kept at half-mast for three days on all public buildings. This official demonstration is in memory of the efforts made by Mr. Gresham to secure a just and amicable settlementof the Venezuelan-British dispute. S Sy o Informed by Willis. WASHINGTON, D.

FLORIDA COAST PATROL. Comprehensive Orders Issued to the Commander of the Raleigh. DEPARTURE OF FILIBUSTERS. Several Brushes With the Insur- gents—Two of the Latter Killed. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—Acting Secretary McAdoo of the Navy Depart- ment said this afternoon that the instruc- tions sent to the commander of the cruiser Raleigh for his guidance when on patrol duty of the Florida coast were of the most comprehensive kind, and provided for a full and strict enforcement of the neutral- ity laws. The Raleigh probably will go first to Key West. This is the only port on the Florida coast which a vessel of her draft can safely enter. She then will make a thorough patrol of the coast line; and to render it more difficult for a filibustering party te get away, the cruiser’s steam- launches and small boats will be manned whenever it is necessary to look into nar- row inlets and ‘passes for light-draft schooners and yachts, which are the favor- ite means of transportation of the filibus- terers. ‘With Spanish men-of-war lying off the Florida coast, outside of the three-mile limit, and the Raleigh and her boats sweeping the inside waters, the over- enthusiastic Cubans and their American sympathizers who undertake to involve the United States into trouble by using Florida as a base of hostile operations against the Government of Cuba are likely to be repressed with a strong hand. The position of the administration is that it must make all honorable efforts to prevent the abuse of its territory in this way, and if the measures already adopted are not sufficient to secure the enforcement of the neutrality laws to the degree that we have ourselves insisted upon when our own interests were concerned, then active steps may be taken ashore to move upon the people who have laid themselves open to prosecution by organizing hostile ex- peditions and aiding in illegal ways the warfare on a friendly nation. The following letter was sent to-day to all collectors of customs on the coast, from New York to the Rio Grande: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE_OF THE SECRETARY. z WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11. To Collectors of Customs and others: Tt is a matter of rumor that at various points in the United States ettempts are making to enlist men to equip and arm vessels and by other illegal measures to aid the insurrection now in progress in the island of Cuba. While this de- partment has not been furnished with tangible evidence confirmatory of such rumors, it deems itof great importance that no possibility be given for complaints that the Government of the United States has in any respect fallen short of its full duty to a friendly nation. Col- lectors of customs for the several districts be- tween New York and Brownsville are espe- cially enjoined to See thatjthe neutrality laws of the United States, particularly sections 5289 and 5290 of the Revised Statutes, are fully complied with, WIKE, Acting Secretary. LEFT Y WEST. The Main Part of the Cuban Expedition Sails—Has Six Guns. TAMPA, Fra., June 11.—Letters received here from Key West to-day say that a schooner left there with the main part of the proposed Cuban expedition Wednesday night. A tug followed at Thursday noon with Chief Roloff, Sanchez Castillo, Rosendo Garcia, Dr. Dominiquez and others. It is alleged that four small and two large guus, with eight Americans to operate them if needed, have been shipped, and also many dynamite hand-bombs and large quantities of arms and ammunition. The expedition, it is asserted, had among its members four regular United States soldiers from the garrison at Key West. The total number was 300. As a result of careful official investiga- tion it has been established that the fili- bustering expedition which sailed from here was far less formidable than was at first reported. It is now known the party did not exceed fifty, including four leaders. The cannon which they carried were an- cient field pieces which had been buried for some years. Brushes With Insurgents. HAVANA, Cupa, June 11.—The bat- talion of Cadiz has had a brush with the insurgents at Guanibacoa, province of Puerto Principe. Two soldiers were wounded.
