THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1895. ONLY HELPS SILVER, Balfour’s Plain Talk on the Currency Ques~ tion. NO HELP FROM ENGLAND. But the Bold Statement Will Stop Further Delay in Action Here. SPEAKER CRISP'S TOUR ABROAD. As a Leader of the Minority of the Next Congress He Went for Information. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.—Bal- four in the House of Commons yesterday set a seal of ppointment on the hopes of those silver men who had been counting on an international agreement. He gave it as his opinion that such an agreement in the interest of bimetallism could not be reached. The question, therefore, follows, Why further agitate the proposition of an international conference? This opinion does not surprise the more extreme silver men in Washington. They have been looking for ir. It is in con- sonance with their own views, held from the moment of the ascertainment of the great Conservative victory in England. They knew Balfour’s personal feeling in the premises, but they predicted that sil- ver could not materially benefit from the change in the administration. For all that he is the leader of the largest majority in the House of Commons of modern times, Baliour can do nothing toward the rehabili- tation of silver as redemption money. The announcement isa source of com- fors to the free coinage men. They hail it as simplifying the issue in this country. Iu their opinion a settlement of the ques- tion has for six years atleast been re- tarded by the glittering promises of secur- ing England’s aid in the fight, And yet, as they hold, it has never been among the probabilities to enlist England in the cause. The old evasion, therefore, is no longer serviceable. England is mnot in it, and can ndlonger be used bythe men who have been hiding behind her. The question is now thought to be stripped of all incumbrances. It must be decided purely on its relation to the policy of this country. An international agreement is pronounced improbable by an authority from which there would appear to be no appeal. Growing out of the discussion of the subject is an explanation of the visit abroad of Mr. Crisp. The ex-Speaker isa member of the Board of Commissioners, recommended and partly filled by the last Congress, to represent the United States at | an International Monetary Conference, should one be called. It is said that sev- | eral months ago Mr. Crisp became satisfied that a conference was unlikely, and if he | was to acquaint himself at first hand with the. views of foreign statesmen on the silver question it must be by means of a visit as an individual. His friends agreed with him and advised the trip. They pointed out that as leader of the minority in the next House, where finances are certain to be so strongly debated, he would need all the information he could acquire, and that it should be all of the most reliable char- acter. This is said to have decided the matter, and he set at once about preparing for the journey. So, whether thereis a conference or not, Mr. Crisp will be ready next winter to discuss the silver question according to the best European lights and in a conclu- sive manner. SELLL THE PLANT. Uncle Sam Will Cease Experimenting in Sugar Production. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.—All ex- periments in sugar production are to be abandoned by the Government. Becretary Morton will dispose in rapid order of ail the property and plants used for that purpose. The Secretary has sold to Bolang & San- wind and A, Marx of New Orleans the ma- chinery, pumps, boilers, engines and build- ings formerly employed in these experi- ments at Audubon Park, New Orleans, the Magnolia plantation at Lawrence, the H. C. Warmoth plant, near Medicine Lodge, Kans.,, and the station at Runnymede, Fla. The deal has just been closed. It has ‘been announced that Secretary Morton will sell all the property used in sugar experiments in California and Ne- braska and “other States. The sale of the vroperty, which aggregates a very large sum, shows that the Government in- tends to take no active part hereaiter in the promotion of private enterprises. Full details of the transactions are not yet made public. Een . Only an Incident. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.—A statement received at the State Depart- ment from Marvroyeni Bey, the Turkish Minister to this country, indicates that the reported attack on St. Paul’s College, an American institution at Tarsus, Armenia, was erroneous and was based on nothing more than a casual incident. S Fraudulent Use of Mails. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.—Chief Postoffice Inspector Wheeler to-day re- ceived a telegram announcing the arrest at Las Vegas, N.Mex.,of W.T. Findlay for fraudulent use of the mails; also the arrest yesterday at Cleveland, Ohio, of his confederate, C."A. Moore. LT Failure of a Bank. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.—Comp- troller Eckels was informed to-day that-the | First National Bank of Franklin, Warren | County, Ohio, had closed its doors. He t/elegral;hed Bank Examiner Betts to as- sume charge of the failed bank. At the date of the last report, July 11, the bank had $224,000 in loans and discounts, and owed individual depositors $169,000. No cause is assigned for the failure. S g In Behalf of Bannocks. WASHINGTON, D, C., Aug. 23.—Attor- ney-General Harmon to-day telegraphed to Gibson Clarke, United States District Attorney for Wyoming, to apply to the United States courts for writs of habeas corpus in the cases of the Bannocks and Shoshone Indians under arrest at Evans- ton, Wyo. The Attorney-General in di- recting this action holds that the treaty rights of Indians with the United States are superior to the game laws of Wyoming. MAJOR WOODHOUSE TALKS. The British Commissioner Explains His Treatment by the Dole People. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 23.—Major ‘Woodhouse, ex-Minister to Hawaii, who arrived here this morning from Honolulu, and is stopping at the Windsor Hotel, was seen to-night by a reporter, and spoke freely of the situation in Hawaii. He said: *‘Just before 1 left Honolulu I asked per- missson of the Hawaiian authorities to make my farewell to the Queen, to whom 1 had been_accredited as British Minister by Queen Victoria, but was refused. I had no opportunity of seeing her or ascertain- ing what her condition was. All Iknow is that she is still a prisoner in her own pal- ace, which hasnow been converted to other uses, namely, for Goverment offices and troops. As fwss not_allowed to see her I cannot say what her future may be. The financial condition of the country is very bad, and the Government is getting deeper into debt every day.” RUSSIN'S FLOATING PALACE Construction of an Immense Steam Yacht at the Copen~ hagen Yards. The Only Rival to This Wonderful Craft Will Be Harry McCal- mont’s Steamer. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 22.—One of the handsomest and most palatial of mod- ern steam yachts is the Russian imperial vessel Standard, now being built by Bur- meister & Wain at Copenhagen. She is an enormous yacht, her over-all length being 417 feet—85 feet greater than that of the Valiant, W. K. Vanderbilt'’s huge cruising steamer. Her load water-line length is 370 feet, her molded breadth 50 feet 6 inches, her depth 36 feet and her dis- placement 5250 tons, - The Valiant has a water-line length of 291 feet 3 inches, and an extreme beam of 39 feet 2 inches. The Standard is to have two sets of triple-expansion engines and 24 Belleville water tube boilers, with a working pressure of 245 pounds. These engines are to give an indicated horsepower of 12,000, and are ex- pected to drive the boat along at a speed of 20 knots an hour. The steering gear is to be so arranged that it can be worked by hydraulic or hand power. There will be an apparatus for distilling fresh water for the boilers, as well as for drinking pur- poses. The chief rooms of the vessel are situated aft. The imperial apartments will be ar- ranged on the main deck. They consist of several elegant cabins, a drawing-room and a small dining saloon, seating eighteen persons. Between decks there will also be more imperial apartments. The greater | space of this deck will be fitted up for the | imperial suite. On the lower deck there will be rooms for the servants. On the upper deck att a roomy deckhouse will be erected, containing some imperial apart- ments. and a dining saloon for sixty persons. On the main deck amidships there will be rooms for the Marine Minister, the Ad- miral and the superior officers. At the fore part there will be the officers’ berths and messroom. Forward of the messroom will be the quarters for the crew, about 400 men. The yacht will have two funnels and three masts, ri%ged fore and aft, She will carry. six light guns for saluting purposes, The Standard will not be finished for at least a year. When she is done her only rival as a pleasure craft will be the Giralda, the ‘“Pelagic Palace,”” as the London writers delight to call her, belonging to Harry McCalmont, the young millionaire, who 1s one of the members of the Valkyrie syndicate. e OFFICEERES BAFFLED. Detective Powers’ Slayers Are Still at Liberty. GRAND RAPIDS, MicH., Aug. 23.—The detectives and the police have obtained no tangible clew to the whereabouts of the two train-robbers wno shot and killed De- tective Powers on a Grand Rapids and Indiana train in this city last night. The country has been scoured by officers all day, but they have accomplished little or nothing, A suspect was arrested near Sparta to- day and brought here. He gave his name as Ed Brook and claims he was looking for work among the fruit farms. He said he camped in the woods last night. A second suspect was brought in and locked up by Deputy Bheriff Bouma late this evening, He gives his name as Alfred Rustead and is a Norwegian. He refuses to talk. A rumor was rife on the streets this after, noon to the effect that Under-Bheriff Reed of Counselville had been shot and killea while attempting to arrest two men answering the description of the fleeing murderers, The report is untrue. e Hastings’ Forces Won. ALLENTOWN, Pa., Aug. 23.—The Le- high ‘County Republican primaries were held to-night, and from the returns re- ceived the Hastings forces have swept the county.

Y., Aug. 23—The twenty-second annual meeting of the Ro- chester Driving Park was brought to a close to-day. It was dark before the last heat was trotted, and unless something is done to modify the betting lJaws Rochester has seen its last grand circuit meet. Dur- ing the afternoon J. 8. Johnson, accom- panied by J. O’Conner, Al Stevenson, Weinig and Beavey as pacers, started to beat the track record of 57 2-5 seconds for half a mile. The start was from the third quarter to the quarter-pole, and Johnson succeeded in covering the distance in 52 2-5 seconds; the first quarter in 27 sec- onds and the second in 25 2-5 seconds, the world’s track record in public, and also for Weinig and Seavey on a tandem, they fin- ishing well ahead of Johnson. As the horses were finishing in the sec- ond heat of the 2:21 class the bay stallion Comanche, record of 2:2214, by Mambrino King-Mink, by Hamlin’s Patchen, when near the distance flag, faltered, reeled to one side and fell over on his side and ex- pired, probably from the rupture of a blood vessel. The driver jumped and escaped injury. Comanche was nine years old and the property of Mr, Curtis of Buf- falo and valued at $3000. 2:21 , Lrotting: purse 81000, Orange Lander, br. h., by Greenland Girl (Andrews) Yankee Luck, b.

Y., Aue. 23.—There promises to be another big shake-up in “Lucky” Baldwin’s stable in a few days, and it will not be surprising to learn that the Jockey. Club hasa case on its hands. The cause of the trouble was the miserable performance.of Rey el Santa Anita in the | Spencer handicap, in which he was dis- | gracefully beaten by Sir Excess and Zara- .goza. Isaac Murphy rode. the colt, and it was he who first went to Mr. Baldwin and told him he thought the horse had been doped. Baldwin was. of the ' same opinion, and between them they started a little investigation, which was unfruitful as far as could be learned. ¥ The California millionaire went to his trainer, 8am Hildreth, for an explanation and the latter said the reason the colt had performed so poorlg ‘was because Murphy was drunk. Baldwin hunted up Murphy and satistied bimself that the iOCkGi was sober, aud he then proceeded to talk to his trainer in a manner the lat- ter did not relish in the least. The Cali- fornia millionaire was very wrathy and openly stated that he candidly believed that Rey el S8anta Anita had been dosed and that it ‘was done by some one in the stable. There was something wrong with the colt, for Murphy drew the whip on him before three-eighths of a mile was run, but he never responded, and kept dropping out of it and was beaten by Zaragozl for second money. Murphy sought out Baldwin as soon as he was dressed and told him his opinion of affairs, Baldwin and Jockey Murphy made a statement to a reporter yesterday con- cerning the race. Baldwin said: “I felt suspicious about the race all the time. The night before I was talking to Wheelock, the bookmaker, and he told me he was going to lay against my horse to the extent of $5000 or §6000. I asked him why, and he said he felt sure that Sir Excess would beat him. Iknow there is nothing in the world, bar accident, that can make Sir Excess beat my horse, and told him so, but he only laughed. At the track I also heard some nasty talk, but did not pay much attention to it at the time, though I did not like the manner in which he went back in the betting. Before they had gone half a mile I knew_there was sométhing wrong, but as yet I have not been able to learn what it was. Iintended bringing the matter before the stewards here, only I had nrranfed to ship my horses away. Howevyer. I don’t intend to let the matter rest here.” Murphy’s statement was to the effect that the horse had evidently been “‘doped,” for he did not have a particle of speed and did pot take the bit in his usual manner. He said that any horse that could beat Clifford in the manner he did a few days previous would surely show speed at some part of the race. GUESSING ON THE FUTURITYX. Horsemen at Sea Regarding the Winner of the Great Race. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 23.—The eighth Futurity race will be run at the Sheepshead Bay course of the Coney Isl- and Jockey Club to-morrow. Indications to-night are that it will be the greatest two-year-old race ever seen in this coun- try. In no previous year have there been s0 many two-year-olds that class in the first flight, and horsemen to-night appear to be all at sea as to the probable winner. Handspring, Hastings, Applegate, Re- quittal, Axiom, Crescendo, Jefferson and Hazlet are all high-class youngsters, very close together, and any one or these may be returned the winner. A well-known bookmaker, in speaking of the race at the Aqueduct course to-day, gave expression to the views held by the talent regarding the race when he said: ltis going to be a close and exciting race, and any one of a half dozen horsel that I can name may be the winner. Iam going to offer 2to1 and take your pick when the petting opens to-morrow. That is what 1 think of the race.” The race will be worth $67,000, the greater portion of which goes to the win- ner. That every horse entered will be sent along for this immense sum goes without saying. = The track is in excellent condition, and with no rainfall before to-morrow after- noon it would be almost lightning fast. Buperintendent Clark has had it thor- oughly worked and prepared for the open- ing of the fall meeting until it is as nearly an ideal as ever man may hope to see, g~ NATIONAL CIRCUIT RACES.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 2.—The best Tain of the season has fallen all over Iowa in the last twenty-four hours. Reports from all over the State indicate the fall hx.u been from 1 to 3inches. There was no wind or electrical disturbances to do dam- age. The storm was badly needed. It is the first rain of account in a month, and corn has been already much damaged by drought. This rain has been the best in the parts of the State which needed it most, except the extreme southeast, where the fall was very light. It assures good corn crops even if there is no more rain.

LONDON, Exg., Aug. 23.—In the House of Commons to-day Robert W. Hanbury, Financial Secretary of the Postoffice De- partment, stated in reyly to a question by J. Henniker Heaton, that it was the in- tention of the Government to follow up the - efforts of their predecessors in otfice toward the establishment of a parcel post service between the United States and Great Britain. Sir John Leng, member of Dundee, asked whether the Board of Trade could not control the speed of railway trains, which are now racing daily between Lon- don and Aberdeen. The extraordinar speed attained by thesetrains, he declnrm{ was certain to result in a terrible accident. Charles T. Richie, president of the Board of Trade, replied that the beard had no Outposts of the Regular Troops Simply Targets for Insurgent Sharpshooters. KEY WEST, Fra, Aug. 23.—A leiter from a special correspondent of the United Press at Santiago de Cuba, dated August 15, says: At 6 o’clock this morning a convoy con- sisting of fifty wagons and fifty mules, loaded with provisions and ammunition, left the city for the village of Cobre, es- corted by guerrillas and a body of regu- lar troops, in all 400 men. The rebels having heard of this have been gathered for two days in that direction in great numbers, under the command of Colonel Higimio Vasquez, successor of Goulet. They met the convoy a little beyond La Loma de la Cruz, where, at this moment, 2 p. M., they are fighting; but, of course, it is impossible to have any details yet. NO LOYALTY FOR SPAIN. Cuban Patriots Are Bound to Win, Says Dirs. Jose Rodrigues. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 23.—“There can be no doubt that Cuba will win her independence,” said Mrs. Jose Rodriguez yesterdsy to a reporter. Mrs. Rodriguez is the wife of the Cuban leader who won fame in the ten years’ war. She comes to New York directly from the seat of active hostilities in Cuba. She continued: “With my mother I left Puerto Principe, the capital of Camaguay, August10. We had no trouble getting out of the country. Trains run as usual, although Puerto Prin- cipe is invested by the Cuban forces. Trains run fairly regular and are free from attacks, except when carrying arms, am- munition or troops. The patriots are gen- erally well informed in such cases. When troops or arms are being transported the tracks are torn up in front and in rear of the trains, making escape impossible. Sup- plies are confiscated and the soldiers are taken prisoners; but given their choice of going home without arms or joining the Cuban army. Usually they prefer the latter. “Puerto Principe bhad a population of 50,000 at the beginning of the revolution. Most of the able-bodied citizens have joined the patriots, leaving the city in the hands of 3000 Spaniards. That is the sit- uation to-day. General Gomez has a cor- don of sharpshooters posted in strong posi- vower to interfere in the matter. The public, he said, must rely upon the com- mon-sense of the railway companies. Sir John Leng said he did not believe there was any true or solid ground for ex- cluding Canadian cattle from Great Britain, it A Fatal Fire in Austria. * VIENNA, AvusTrIA, Aug. 23.—An exten- sive conflagration occurred at Tione. Fifty houses were consumed and 100 families were rendered homeless. While services were being held in a church at Rogsono, Galicia, an alarm of fire was given, fol- lowed by a stampede of the congregation. In the rush to get out of the church three persons were trampled to death and many others were seriously injured. ERTOLGRGIE Marching Toward Quito. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug 23.—The Herald’s special cable from Panama says: Guayaquil advices state that General Alfaro’s army is continuing its march to- ward Quito without meeting any resistancs, and that a panic prevails in vernment and clerical circles in the capital. General Alfaro is gaining in popularity. There are no disturbances in Guayaquil. e e Warships for China. LONDON, Exe., Aug. 23.—It is rumored that the son of the Japanese Premier, who exchanged the peace ratifications with China, will be sent to England to arrange large contracts for warships, arms, etc. He is expected to arrive in November, via the United States and Canada. - ———— A Town in Hungary Burning. VIENNA, AvsTeIiA, Aug. 23.—The town of Sillein, in Hungary, has been on fire since last evening. Assistance has been sent from near-by towns. but the flames have not yet been controlled. No details are, as yet, obtainable. Sillein has a popu- 1ation of about 3000. Pt TR Infested With Pirates. MARSEILLES, France, Aug. 23.—The French steamer Cheribon, which has ar- rived here from Chinese waters, reports that Tonking is infested with pirates who constantly harass the French troops. HILL'S SCHEME FAILED Unable to Hold Up His End In a Deal by Fifteen Millions. So J. Plerpont Morgan May Under- tions, entirely surrounding the town. They are well protected behind rocks and trees, and are carrying out a carefully laid plan of campaign—that is, not to make an open attack on the city, but to shoot and kill every man who appears outside thecity. % “Gomez could capture the town any day, but he understands very well that among the inhabitants are the wives and children of many of the patriots in the field. They would be subjected to unnecessary dan- ger and terror. Nothing would be gained by such a sacrifice. It is the men who are fighting under the Spanish flag that the Cubans are after. “This consideration for the helpless families in Puerto Principe and other take to Reorganize the Northern Pacific Himself. NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 23.—One of the argus eyes of Wall street is turned in- tently upon J. Pierpont Morgan these days with a wondering look as to what hand he is going to play in the reorganizatien of the Northern Pacific Railroad. On this point, and also regarding the J.J. Hill plan, a prominent Wall-street man, who is deeply interested in the situation and is unquestioned authority on these subjects, said yesterday: ‘When Morgan came back from his trip on the Corsair he ascer- tained about as soon as he put foot on shore that Hill had undertaken to deliver laces is the cause of Gomez's humane licy. For instance, he allows cattle and all kinds of supplies to enter the oity. That saves human life. But as a war measure he will allow neither provisions nor arms nor supplies of any kind to go out of the city to the Spanish troops. “The Spanish outposts are simply tar- gets for the insurgent sharpshooters and are picked off by the dozen every day. General Gomez's policy is to make no at- tack on the Spaniards in towns or strongly entrenched places. But the mo- ment they send armed bandsinto the coun- try they are wiped out. It is impossible for the Spanish troops to penetrate the interior and survive, except when they move in a large body amounting to an army. wThere is no such thing as real, loyalty for Spain among the people in Cuba. They have been oppressed beyond all knowledge; have been subiected to every kind of tyran- ny that will put a dollar into the Spanish treasury. For instance, if my sister or brother wanted to visit me in Puerto Principe they had to so inform the police and obtain a permit to enter my house. No friend or relative can stop at night under the roof of other friends without notifying the authorities. To visit mem- bers of one’s own family in another house without promptly. sending word to thne proper officials would cause wholesale arrests of the offenders. “The vellow fever is worse than has been represented. It is spreading rapidly, owing to the presence of large bodies of unacclimated soldiers. They are natu- rally filthy, and know nothing of the pre- cautions necessary to prevent disease. But we are informed by friends in the field with General Gomez that there had been no fever among his troops up to the time of our leaving the island. The yellow fever situation is serious for Spain.” ©ladstone’s Prediction. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 23.—The Daily News will to-morrow say that among the guests at Mr. Gladstone’s garden party on Thursday were the American ex-Postmas- ter-General, Thomas T. James, and his daughters and E. A. Quintard of New York. In conversation with these guests Mr. Gladstone remarked that he used to ophes; I :Itma'e they would attain the highest tion in the world. Nevertheless they would not injure England; on the trary they would improve her position. He declared that sdoner or later something -would be done for Ireland. His hearers fully acquiesced in his remarks. el Leprosy in Colombia. PANAMA, Coromsia,Aug.23.—A special to the Star and Herald from Bogota states that & meeting was held there, having for its object the erection of a national laza- retto for lepers, and that $29,800 hasalready been sublgiibq asa pucieus of a fund for Baking Powder Absolutely Pure }u' that if the United States adopted T P more than he was able to suppiy. In plain figures, Hill was short just $:5,000,000 on the guaranty which he had assured Mor- gan he could put up in case Morgan would undertake the reorganization of the road in harmony with the Great Northern. ‘When Morgan got back he satisfied him- self of the situation at once and declined Hill's offer, and now the Hill plan is ab- solutely dead. “As to the reorganization of the North- ern Pacific, there is no doubt that Morgan will undertake it as soon as the decision in the hearing before Judge Hanford in Seat- tle shall have been handed down. Natur- ally our eyes are directed to Seattle and the hearing over the question of the re- moval of the receivers of the road, T. F. Oakes, Henry C. Payne and H. C. Rouse, who were made receivers under the order of Judge Jenkins of Wisconsin. There is every reason to expect a speedy decision by Judge Hanford and then the way will be clear for Morgan to take hold of the re- organization. You may say that beyond doubt, as matters now stand, Morgaa will reorganize the road. He no longer con- siders the Hill plan at all.” % There has been a good deal of comment on the great array of Senatorial legal tal- ent which Messrs. Sullivan and Cromwell, the lawyers for the receivers, engaged for their clients in the present contest. The man above quoted said upon this point: “We propose to haul Cromwell over the coals for the heavy expense to which he has, as we think, needlessly put the com- pany in engaging such an extensive array of high-priced talent. Why should he en- gage seven United States Senators to repre- sent the receiver?’ Further corroboration of the announce- ment made in the above statement that J., Pierpont Morgan would be the man of the hour in Northern Pacific matters was found yesterday in the statement made by the Deutsche Bank of Berlin that it would co-operate with Mr. Morgan in any plan that he might undertake for the rehabili- tation of the Northern Pacific.
