2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1895. HOESOFWORKINGMEN . Are Being Crushed by Capital. fCONOMIC STUDY IN JAIL. Monopoly, He Says, Doles Out Such Labor and Wages as It Pleases. MONEY CONTROLLING POWER. All This Is Wrong, and Only a Co- Operative Commonwealth Can Right It. WOODSTOCK, TrL., June 20.—Eugene V. esident of the American Railway who, with L. W. Rogers, William Ivester Kelliher, James Ho- x Ellictt and R. M. Goodwin, directors of that organization, is servinga six months’ sentence for contempt of court in the McHenry County Jail here, is enjoy- fe as well as a prisoner can. . resentative of the CaLy vis- looked a trifle thinner than he wes a few weeks ago, but indoor life has not yet begun to tell on his ruddy cheek. He was comfortably attired in negligee ne, as were all the other prisoners. Life in the prison is not irksome to Debs and his companions, for every moment is occupied. All are deeply interested in the study of economic questionsand text-books on these subjects are constantly in use, When asked for an expression of his views on the labor problemg Mr. Debs said: “The trend of the times is toward capi- talization, toward centralization of every- thing, and when each branch of industry is controlled by a trust that monopoly doles out such wages as it pleases and exacts such prices forits product as it pleases. All this is wrong, and only a co-operative commonwealth can right it. In this coun- try we have no longer a republic, no longer a Congre. If the Congress places upon the statute-books a law inimical to the in- terests of the allied money power of capi- tal it is wiped out by the Supreme Court. “What is the Supreme Court? Nine gen- tlemen who owe their appointment to cor- poration influence, seven of whom are cer- poration lawyers, men whose lives have been spent in the service of corporations, whose affiliations and sympathies are all with the corvorations. Is there the slightest chance that they would decide any question in favor of the workingman, in favor of a class from which they turn with disgust and which might as well be on another planet for all they know of its struggl and ambitions? Events have proven that such hope is futile and that the money power. capital which is daily and growing more centralized, al- supersedes every department of the rnment and has the country by the throat? very day more men are forced out of work b; achinery. The machinery pro- duces what they formerly did, but the men remain to be provided for, and every year it is growing worse. Just so long as all that machinery and everything it pro- duces are controlled by monopoly the workingman will stand begging for em- ployment at the door of the trusts. The country has outgrown the wage system; but the men are still here, clamoring for the work which machinery deprives them of, and capital, controlling the machinery and its product, holds the upper hand. The way out is a question too large for me to handle; but toward the co-operative commonwealth,jthe solution of this prob- lem of the day,all my energies shall be directed.” 70 THE OF INTEREST COAST. Carlisle’s Sccretary to Travel at Uncle Sam’s Expense. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.—H. W. Vanseden, Carlisle’s private secretary, was anxious to make a trip to California, ac- companied by a member of his family, but railroad transportation being difficult to secure, Uncle Sam discovered that an in- spector should examine into the condition of the mints out there. Consequently Mr. Vansenden will make his trip at the Gov- ernment’s expense. He will leave in a few days for San Francisco. The postoflice at Panamint, Inyo County, Cal., has been discontinued and hereafter mail will be sent to Darwin. Pensions have been granted as follows: California: Restoration and supplemental —Archibald McDonald (deceased), Eureka. Reissne—Joseph F. Alford, Julian; James H. Finney, Los Angeles; Thomas M.

NEW ORLEANS, La., June 20.—The steamship Oteri of the new line from New Orleans to Colon, intended to compete for California trade, will leave Saturday, the 22d inst., instead of June 26, as originally arranged, as her entire cargo has been se- cured. A new vessel will be put on next week. The New Orleans merchants have decided to go ahead and establish a per- manent steamship line to Colon. This was necessary to protect themselves against the rates which New York was able to se- cure by means of water competition. Regarding the reduction in rates on the wine coming from'California, it is said that the Southern Pacific road made them only ten days ago, and was already revoking them. The merchants did not desire that the road should carry the goods at losing rates, but were obliged to protect them- selves against New York., Zd oS Horses Lost in the Flames. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 20.—Fire at 1 o’clock this morning burned Kiel & Co.’s livery stable on Fifth avenue, Oakland. Four men were in the stable at the time, two of whom were rescued. The other iwo men are as yet unaccounted for. Forty-six head of horses perished in the flames. A number of fine carriages were also destroyed. The loss will reach $10,000. Several dwellings were also burned. e Junior Order of Mechanics. OMAHA, Ngs., June 20.—At a meeting of the Junior Order of Mechanics this morning it was resolved: to establish a Na- tional home for widows and orphans of members, to be located at Tiffin, Ohio. The first week of April isto be known asOr- phan Home week. All contributions dar- ing that time are to be given to the home, and §24,000 is already on hand to equip and maintain the home. The order held a banquet to-night. MRS, PAGANO MAY LAND. So She Will Come to Join Her Indifferent Husband. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.—Com- missioner-General Stump to-day decided that Rosario Pagano and her two children from Italy, bound for San Francisco, may be landed at Ellis Island. The authorities had detained her on the ground that she was liable to become a public charge. She has a husband in San Francisco, who is living there under an as- sumed name. He was found by the Commissioner of Immigration at San Francisco and informed of the detention of his wife at New York. He showea little desire to have her come West and declined to advance the necessary money to pay her railroad fare. As Mrs. Pagano had but §30 the employes on Ellis Island donated an additional $30 and she will leave for the West to-night. An investigation of her case shows that she had supported herself in Italy, and was not likely to become a public charge in this country, even if her husband refused 1o receive her. Mrs, Pagano intimates that her husband has taken up with another woman, and for that reason she is especially desirous of going to San Francisco. The immigrant authorities at San Francisco have been ordered to keep a watch outon Pagano that he does not escape before his family arrives. SR JULIN EXPLANS WhyHe Signed the Congratu- latory Resolutions on the St. Louis’ Voyage. Merely the Expression of Thanks to the Captain of the Vessel. LONDON, ExG., June 20.—In the House of Commons to-day A. J. C. Doneland, Parnellite member from Cork, asked the Government what explanation would be made of the action of Sir Julian Pauncefote in signing the congratulatory resolutions on the occasion of the first voyage of the new American steamer St. Louis. Mr. Doneland demanded to know whether in view of the fact that such action on the part of a British Minister to a foreign country was being utilized to advertise a foreign company at the expense of British companies, the Government would request Sir Julian Pauncefote either to substan- tiate the assertions he had indorsed in the document mentioned or withdraw his name therefrom. Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Secre- tary for Foreign Affairs, said: “I am in- formed ‘that the resolutions were merely the usual expression of thanks voted to the captain of a ship after a successiul voyage. The resolutions do not refiect upon the British companies in the least.” Right Hon. Arthur B. Forewood asked whether the Government defrayed the ex- penses of the passage of her Majesty’s rep- resentatives to and from foreign countries, orif they had suggested that the gentle- men should travel on British ships. [Criesof “Oh!"] Sir Edward Grey said the Government knew nothing about the circumstances of the voyage. J. Henniker Heaton asked if it was true that on June6 a large number of letters bearing 2-cent United States stamps had arrived from New York and been deliv- ered in London, and if the recipients of the letters had been fined 8 pence for deficient postage. Also whether it was true that each envelope had been found to contain offensive circulars and whether there ex- isted any arrangement with other Govern- ments in regard to such cases whereby fines for deficient postage were recoverable from the sender instead of from the inno- cent addressee. Arnold Morley, Postmaster-General, said the facts were as they had been stated by Mr. Heaton. Arrangements could not always be made, however, in accordance with the last question asked, but as the case mentioned was a very exceptional one he saia representations would be made to the Postmaster-General of the United States. S S DUPUNT AND THE COLIMA. He May Have Something to Say About the Wreck. WASHINGTON, D.C., June 20.—Gen- eral Dupont, supervising inspector of steam vessels, . is taking a lively interest in the investigation now in progress in S8an Fran- cisco to determine the responsibility for the Colima disaster and is following the published evidence closely. The matter will finally come to him for disposal, so he will not express an opinion . in advance for publication, but privately he has some vig- orous views as to the great loss of life and who were responsible for it. g e MOVEMENT OF LEADERS.. The House of Commons Has No Confidence in the Ministry. LONDON, ExG.,June 20.—The Central News says the opposition leaders of the House of Commons have decided to move a resolution setting forth that the House has no confidence in the Ministry. Ac- cording to this statement Mr. Chamber- lain has framed a resolution asking her Majesty to dismiss the present Ministers and dissolve Parliament. —_—— To Digcipline Deputies, ROME, Itavry, June 20.—In consequence of the disorderly scene in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday a motion has been pre- pared and signed by a large number of the Deputies of the majority asking that the procedure of the Chamber be modified so as to enable the suspension of Deputies guilty of violent acts in the Chamber. The motion was referred to the permanent Committee on Procedure, which will make a report thereon on June 26, Eoiiaan Levy's Appeal Filed. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.—An application for a writ of prohibition, in the form of an appeal from the judgment of the Supreme Court of California, in the case of H. M. Levy, an executor, vs. the Superior Court of California, in the matter of Morris Hoeflich, deceased, was filed in the office of the Supreme Court of the United States to-day, and was docketed for a hearing at the next term. P The Howgate Jury, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.—The jury in the Howgate case had not reported a verdict at 9 o'clock this evening, when Judge McComas sent in word to the fore- man that he was prepared to hear the ver- dict, if one had been agreed upon. The re- ply from the jury-room was that no de- cision had yet been made, and the jury- men were accordingly locked up until to- morrow at 9 A, M. MR, PEFFER'S VIEWS, Populists Will Not Be Absorbed by the Silver Party. LINES ARE MAINTAINED. Say “Amen,” However, to Every Movement Toward Im-~ provement. THEIR POSITION IS PECULIAR. In Short, Members Will Not Follow the Leaders of Other Partles. TOPEKA, Kaxs, June 20.— Senator Peffer has no idea that the Populists will be absorbed by the proposed new silver party. He believes that the People’s party, as organized now, will contine its existence through the financial disturb- ances in the political world, and that it will furnish a haven of rest for the advo- cates of the free coinage of silver after the old political organizations haye been broken up, as he is confident they will be in the near future. When asked to-day by the CALL correspondent for his views on the condition of the party and its future prospects, he said, with great deliberation: “The position of the Populist party with respect to other political organizations is at this time peculiar, The leading ques- tion to-day in politics is the coinage of silver. The Republican party, and the Democratic party as well. has taken a posi- tion on that subject which is all things to all men and nothing definite to anybody. Hence it is that Jarge numbers of their membership are dissatisfied and are striv- ing within their respective organizations to procure an official expression favorable to silver. While waiting for the result of that effort more impetuous men have un- dertaken to organize a new and distinct party based upon the silver question alone. “The Populists having made an em- phatic party declaration on the silver question, and free coinage having been part of the political creed of the voters who first formed the party, and it being one of our tenets now, all that we can do with respect to the silver movement, whether in the other parties or in the proposed new party, is to encourage it. Our party is made up of broad-minded, liberal men, and we say ‘amen’ to every movement looking toward an improvement in general conditions. “*We regard this silver movement with very great interest, because it is in the way and must be disposed of; yet it would be folly for us to go into another party to advocate our doctrines. Hence, unless and unti! the free silver men in other parties are willing to do as we have done— abandon their old organizations and are ready to enter a new one, similar to ours— we shall maintain our party lines intact. ‘“We believe that in order to accomplish necessary reforms and especially monetary reforms, the people whoj toil must vote togéther, but we cannot do that and follow the leadership of men and parties that are opposed tous. The two great parties are at present officered and managed on a gold monometallic money basis, and there is no reason to expect that they will change their policy in this respect. The great in- terests which they serve will not permit it. It is for that reason that it is necessary for the Populist party to maintain its align- ment so that when the other parties break on the money question, as they will surely do, the silver people will haye a common rallying point. Then it will be time for all the dissatisfied elements leaving be- hind the party prejudices to confer as citi- zens and patriots concerning what is best to be done. The Populist is ready to meet his brother, Republican and Democrat and Prohibitionist, on common grounds at any time, but if they are not willing to meet him he will fight his battles alone.” CENTER OF ORGANIZATION, General Weaver Says the Party Will Be Put to the Test. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 20.—In re- sponse to a question as to the condition and future of the Populist party, General J. B. Weaver this evening said : “The Populist party, under one name and another, from Peter Cooper to the present time, has led in the important work of economic reform in the United States. To its persistent, intelligent and concentrated effort we are indebted for the great revival of economic learning which is now shaking this country from center to circumference. ““If it shall prove in the future that its constructive force in the impending crisis, which it has itself precipitated, is equal to its analytical and philosophic strength, it will be the center of organization for all the kindred reform elements of the coun- try. This is the great test which now con- fronts it, and I believe that it will rise with the emergency and prove equal to the great duty of the hour. ‘‘It has forced the consideration of the money question upon all of the other par- ties and they are sorely divided while it is united. Neither the Democratic nor the Republican party can possibly expect to poll a united vote for their ticket next year. Millions of free-silver Republicans will bolt the gold-standard ticket, and they will turn with disgust from a platform of doubtful meaning. About half of the Democrats fayor free silver at 16 to 1 and the abolition of National banks and the issuance of legal-tender paper currency by the Government. The other half are hope- lessly wedded to the gold standard and the British system of finance throughout. These houses are divided against them- selves and cannot stand and the new struc- ture will rise upon their ruins. Itisa question of civilization and the sooner the old moribund parties give way to the new the better it will be for all concerned. “Just how the union of reform elements i8 to be effected is a little difficult to fore- cast. I think, however, that the ticket will be the point of union. The Pop- ulists will, of course, hold their National convention and the country may fairly hove for broad and liberai action on their part. The jassurance that they will do this is found \in the fact of thorough integrity of purpose which char- acterizes the movement. They are honest, and before God ninety and nine among them wish only to blame mankind. This will lead them to nominate a man like Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania and Judge Cald- well of the United States Circuit Court. The first is of Democratic antecedents, the latter of Republican. These men are of the Lincoln and Jackson type. I know them both intimately, and their superiors in point of qualifications, integrity and re- form instincts cannot be found on this continent. Such a ticket would likely unite all reform elements. The great question of the hour is how to get together. We are past the platform period and are confronted with great tactical questions which always precede great conflicts like that which awaits us in 1896.” IN THE SorLID SOUTAH. Editor Howell Tells of Issues Forced by Legislation. ATLANTA, Ga., June 20.—To the Editor of the Call : You ask me if the Solid South will remain solid or go to pieces. The South was made solid politically by what they considered an attempt to force legis- lation on the negro question that they did not believe was constitutional. The force bill and kindred legislation on that line did more than any other one thing to make a solid vote in the South, as it over- shadowed all other issues. Ido nou be- lieve that such legislation will be at- tempted in the future. And I am satisfied if there is no further attempt on this line that the South will not divide on economic questions. There is a growing disposition all over the South to join with the West in making necessary reforms in the tariff and more especially on the financial question. I believe that the South is as solid for the remonetization of silver as any of the Western States and that the approaching elections next year will show that they will join with the West in mak- ing needed reforms both in the tariff and fihancial questions. I do not think any further agitation on the tariff question is possibie, unless there is an attempt next Congress to change the status of the pres- ent tariff law. The great question with our people to-day is the financial question, and they are divided upon that question more than any that has arisen since the war, with a greater preponderance in favor of silver from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. There is no element in the South that desires to keep up late old issues in any shape or form. 1 believe the South is as patriotic to-day asany part of the Union. This is the prevailing sentiment without exception over the whole South. Evax P. HoweLr, Editor Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. —_— EUREKNS SEQUUA FETE It Is to Be Held for Three Days During the Month of July. Balloting for the Queen of the Carnlval Is to Commence To - Day. EUREKA, Car., June 20.—In response to the call for the banquet issued by the business men of the city, about 150 of the leading citizens met in the dining-room of the Western Hotel to consider pertinent questions relating to business revival, and more particularly to formulate plans for the grand 1and and water carnival to be held here on the 18th, 19th and 20th of July, to be known as the ‘‘Sequoia Car- nival.” Mayor Stafford served as toastmaster.

It is proposed to charge a small voting fee, which will go into the general carnival fund. Fully 15,000 votes are believed to be in the nominating-box, both papers hay- ing been compelled to issue large extra editions to supply the demand for coupons. The subscription committee, after a day’s solicitation, has succeeded in secur- ing a large sum of money, which will be greatly enlarged before the week’send. Enough has already been pledged to assure a grand success for the carnival. Free trains will bring people from the extreme ends of the county to participate in Eureka's great pleasure feast. Some one of the magnificent battleships will be asked to enter our harbor and add interest and dignity to the coming festival, ann ap- plication will be made for some field piece from the Presidio at 8an Francisco.

NOT AT THE WEDDING Mrs." Shepard Disap- proves Her Daugh- ter’s Marriage TODAVE HENNEN MORRIS All the Vanderbilts Stayed Away From the Little Ceremony. THURLOW W. BARNES' VERSION. Says the Groom Is Not a Sporting Man, but His Father Was a Turfman. NEw YORK, N. Y., June 20.—Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard was not present at the marriage of her daughter, Alice Vander- biit Shepard and Dave Hennen Morris (he was christened Dave, not David), which took place at the Little Church Around the Corner Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Shepard knew that the wedding was to take place, but she refused to give her con- sent to it or to be present. No member of Miss Shepard’s family was & witness of the ceremony. The Van- derbilts were all absent, although they knew of the engagement of the young peo- ple and the time of the wedding. The bride was given away by Thurlow Weed Barnes of 7 West Twenty-sixth street, brother-in-law of Mr. Morris. The two witnesses to the marriage con- tract were William O. O'Neil of 39 West T entieth street, and Rosina Kelly, maid to Mrs. Barnes. The others present were Alfred H. Morris, brother of the bnde- groom, Mrs. Thurlow Weed Barnes, sister of the bridegroom, and Edward Harding of Philadelphia, a relative of Richard Harding Davis. The story of the wedding was told to a United Press reporter this afternoon by Thurlow Weed Barnes at his apartments in the Croisic. ““There is no reason for any mystery in this case,’’ he said, “and I am willing to tell you all I know aboutit. A yearago Mr. Morris and Miss Shepard met while crossing the ocean on the steamship Ma- jestic.” A tew months ago they became en- gaged to be married. The members of both families were soon made aware of the engagement. Mrs. Shepard did not view it kindly. She thought that her daughter should not marry Mr. Morris because he owned racehorses and because his father bad owned them. “TI am not & horse-owner, but I can’t see anything wrong in horse-racing, and I candidly see no reason why excuses should be made for it. The late Mr. Morris came of a family of horse-owners, He wanted his son to take an interest in horses be- cause he believed that it kept a man more in the open air, and that it was beneficial to his health. His ola friend, Larry Jerome, once said he believed that Mr. Morris kept up his health because he was interested in horses and horse-racing. “As for Dave Morris 1 am certain that nothing can be said against him. He has no vieious habits. Heis particularly stu- dious and ambitious to succeed in the pro- fession which he has chosen, the practice of medicine and surgery. Itis a pet project of his and of his wife’s to establish on a large scale a hospital in this city where all, rich and poor alike, may be treated gratuit- ously. He has often said to me that to be the head of such an institution was his ambition. That his wife is a most charita- bly disposed and charming young woman is well known. Despite these facts Mrs. Shepard did not seem to favor the suit. Her son, formerly a Yale student, who is now in California, is a friend of Mr. Morris. “Ten days ago Mr. Morris returned from Harvard for his summer vacation. He met Miss Shepard. They had intended to marry a year from now, when he com- pleted hiscollegiate course. They decided, however, that it would be just as well to get married at once. Mrs. Shepard and her daughter came to town yesterday from their country place at Scarborough-on-the- Hudson. They come to town once or twice a week as a rule during their stay at Scarborough.” “Did Mrs. Shepard know that the wed- ding was to take place?” *I believe so. She has not been feeling well recently. That might be a reason why she did not attend.” “What are Mr. Morris’ plans?’’ “After the summer he will return to Harvard to complete his course. Idon't know whether Mrs. Morris will accom- pany him or not. I believe that the col- lege rules will not allow it, but perhaps they will live in Boston.”" Dr. Houghton said to-day that he had as- sisted at the ceremony. Dr. C. DeWitt Bridgman, who officiated, lives at One Hundred and Twenty-second street and Lenox avenue. He sent out word to the reporter that he had nothing to say. -A letter, however, was received by Mr. Barnes to-day from Dr. Bridgman, in which he said: “It was not till I reached home last even- ing that I knew how generously you had recognized my service. That I am grateful there is no mneed of de- claring. If these were days of free coinage, the honorarium would be princely. Mr. Morris is frank and manly, and the bride was so intelligent. I will never forget the reverence and confidence she showed in declaring her vows. My heart is with them. See that the young people have good advice just at this time. 1 should like to call on them in a few days if they are in town.” The sexton of the Little Church Around the Corner said it was the guietest wed- ding he had seen for a long time. At the residence of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street, a servant told the reporter that Mr. Vander- bilt was not at home. Mrs. Shepard, who lives in the old Vanderbilt mansion at Fifth avenue and Fifty-third street, de- clined to see callers to-day. The other members of the Vanderbilt family are at Newport and Lenox.

LONDON, Exg., June 20.—To-day was the grandest day of the Ascot meeting. The attendance was enormous and the representation of royalty and the arismg« racy was large. Many well-known £ meri- cans were present. Lord Bredalbane headed the royal procession. The Afghan Prince, Nasrulla Khan, went to Ascot and by rail to Windsor, and thence to the course in a carriage. The gold cup, value 1000 sovereigns, with 2000 sovereigns in specie in addition, about two and a half miles, was won by H. McCalmont’s Isinglass. Following is the summary: H. McCalmont’s Isinglass won, T. Cannon’s Reminder second, Captain MacHill’s Kilsallaghan third. The betting was 11 to 2 on Isinglass, 6 to 1 against Re- minder, and 33 to 1 against Kilsallaghan. Isinglas was wildly cheered as Mr. Mc- Calmont led him from the course to the saddling inclosure. This is his last race, as he goes immediately to the stud. The aggregate of his winnings is £58,000, beat- ing the record that Donovan had. The Rouse memorial stakes, 1000 sov- ereigns added, seven furlongs and sixteen yards, was won by H.

INTRIGUE WITH ARMERIANS Russia Advised of the Peculiar Tactics of Eng- land. Now the Czar Will Hastily Send Troops From Odessa to Batoum. LONDON, ExG., June 20.—A special dis- patch from St. Petersburg by way of Eydtkuhnen, on the Russian frontier, says the Russian Government has received a communication from the Government of | Great Britain advising the Czar’s Govern- ment of the intention of England to make a naval demonstration at Constantinople. Advices have been received in St. Peters- burg from other sources to the effect that the British Embassador to Turkey, Sir Philip Currie, is secretly intriguing with the Armenian patriarchs. According to these advices there is no doubt that the English pro-Armenian committee is sup- plying the Armenians with a large num- ber of weapons, and the Russian Govern- ment is preparing tomeet the develop- ments of the situation outlined. The twentieth division of the Russian army, now stationed in the south of Rus- sia, has been ordered to the vicinity of Kars, and the departure of 1500 troops from Odessa for Batoum is being acceler- ated.

NEW YORK IS HIS HOME, Now His Hope for a Big Indemnity Is About to Be Realized. RELIEF AFTER WAITING YEARS. How He Was Deprived of His Property and Sentenced to Death. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 2 Maximo Mora, whose clai Spanish Government for $1,500,000 to be in a fair way of being settled, as he hLas been for years, a resident of city. He has lived here since the S iards passed sentence of death upon him, at a time when he, fortunately, was in this country. Mr. Morz for the last thirty-five years has considered this city his home, although during a great portion of that time he has had large property interests in Cuba. The old firms of Mora Nephews & Mora, ana Mora, Navarro & Co., are well known among the sugar-dealers who years ago controlled the imports from Cuba. In both of the firms Mr. Mora was the con- trolling member. Mr. Mora lives at 161 West Sixty-third street, the house where his sons—Antonio and Aurilo—have made a home for him to ease his deelining years. His daughter keeps house for them, and considers her father’s every wish. An effort was made to see Mr. Mora by a reporter, but as he had been abed for sey- eral days with neuralgia, his son Aurelic asked that he be excused. He said that aside from his father’s temporary ailment he was as well as could be expected for a man 77 years old, although his father's father had lived for 110 years. Aurelio Mora spoke freely of his father's case against Spain. “We have been waiting many years,” said he, “to have father's claim paid. It has been long delayed, but we never have lost hope. Father always has been hope- ful, and has had confidence in his adopted country. His hopefulness has infused us, and we have come to have as strong a be- lief that his equities would be acknowl- edged as he. Father owned plantations of great value in Cuba, and in 1853 he ac- quired a residence in New York. He did not become a citizen until 1869, however, although he had large business interests here. “While tke rebellion was going on in 1869 the Spanish authorities sentenced father to death and confiscated his prop- erty. The claim that he was implicated in the sporadic war which was then progress- ing was false and had no foundation. They took his property, but fortunately could not take his life. For a time he kept a cigar-store, although he formerly lived in great luxury. My mother broke down, after worrying for years, and died two years ago. She was a strong, hopeful woman, but had not the reserve power that father possesses. “The property that was taken by the Spaniards consisted of sugar plantations, factories and warehouses, as well equipped as any that then existed on the island. This was all taken and worked until the Spanish Government accumulated fully $2,500,000, and was then disposed of in some way. After the claim for indemnity was made the matter was considered for several years, and then they suggested a compromise of $1,500,000. This was ac- cepted for the purpose of closing up the matter, but it has dragged along since 1886. The claim was made through Secretary Fish in 1870, who protested against sen- tencing an American citizen to death and confiscating his property. He declared it to be a violation of the treaty between Spain and the United Statesand made a strenuous effort in father’s behalf. Many protests have been made. Mr. Blaine tried to have the matter settled, but dia not suc- ceed. Minister Belmont did all he could to aid father, but he also was unsuccessful. But it looks now as if Mr. Olney will accomplish what others have failed to do. General McAlpin Robbed. CLEVELAND, Onio, June 20.—A gold watch and $1000 in money were stolen from General McAlpin, the newly elected president of the league, shortly after his speech to-day.
