NORTHERN MERCHANTS SWINDLED Eogus Drafis Cashed in Many Towns by a Man Claiming to Be a Drummer. SEATTLE, Wass., May 3.—The police of this and other Northwestern cities have been warned to be on the lookout for a shrewd swindier who is alleged to have obtained large sums on bogus drafts in Anaconda, Butte, Spokane, Salt Lake ana Denver. He is believed to be coming this way. At Anaconda, where he gave the name of A. E. Barmore, he sold a con- R nent of starch and then got G. C. McKinnon to cash adraft on New York for $100. This was two weeks ago. Last week the draft was returned unpaid and the case was given to the police. In several cities the swindler has pre- tended to represent an Oswego, (N. Y.) Starch Company. He possesses a drum- mer's outfit and letters which purport to cive him authority to draw on the New York office. His plan is usually to get drafts cashed just previous to the de- parture of his train. He dresses neatly, and is a suave talker. The description from Anaconda places hisage at 35 vears, weight 130 pounds. He is shm and has biue eyes, sandy bair and mustache. - AR FREEPORT.

Great Demand for the Product of a San Jose Packing- House. Bleached Tubers Find a Ready Sale, and Orders Are Coming In Fast. SAN JOSE, CAr, May 3.—The Penni- man Fruit Company has instituted » new industry at its drier in the Willows—that of drying potatoes. This promises to prove profitable for Santa Clara County, and as soon s the run on potatoes is over carrots and turnips will be dried. A force of twenty bersons is engaged, and it is believed the run on potatoes will last another month. The work of preparatiou is very simple. Apple-parers are used in peeling the pota- toes, and siicing is next in order. The potatoes are then pressed, and about 10 per cent of the water is removed in this way. As the starch is extracted from this water there is no waste. Evaporating and bleaching is done in practically the same raanner as in the drying of fruits. Adter leaving the press the potatoes are subjected to a temperature of 100 to 120 degrees in the evaporator. It has been found that a temperature in excess of 120 degrees discolors them, but at that heat they retain their color, and when taken out have the appearance of the green product. The dried potatoes can be either boiled or fried and will be sure to please all classes of people except those who insist on having their potatoes served with “jackets on.” Oue great advantage of the dried product is that it can be kepton shipboara for an indefinite period. The potatoes are being shipped to a San Francisco commission house. It is ex- pected that the output will reach 30,000 | pounds by May 20. In all about 0,000 pounds of potatoes will be dried, whichin the green state would bs 400,000 pounds, as the drying procsss takes away four- fifths of the weight. This leaves all the nutritiousness of the potato 1n a compact form. The originators of the process be- lieve that there will soon be a great de- mand fordried potatoes and thatina short time dried vegetables of numerous kinds will be found in every markat. ———— FOUND DEaD IN RIS ROOM, Jokn Gamble of San Francisco Pa Away at Los Gatos. .

WABHINGTON, D. C., May 3.—The United States has, according to Henry M. Smythe, ex-Minister to Hayti, probably lost a concession from the re- public of San Domingo for the establish- | ment of a coaling station at Samana Bay or some other convenient harbor. | Minister Smythe is no longer the Gov- ernment’s accredited representative to either of these republics, and is now in Virginia very much exasperated because his resignation was acceptea before he had | time to complete the main features of a treaty whereby San Domineo eranted, free of charge, a site for a coaling station and several other commercial privilezes for which this country has been working for years. He now declares” that he will not surrender the protocol to the depart- ment. No one has as yet been appointed Min- ister, and as there is not much of a con- test for the place Smythe may be con- tinued after all in office until the protocol for the possession of the coaling statign is completed. Smythe say: “In San Domingo last March the Presi- dent submitted a memorandum embracing the following heads for a treaty: Com- merce, navigation, extradition and reci procity of interest and concession. Under this last division, at my second inter- view, I obtained from the President a concession for a coaling station for use of | | the American navy during the continu- | ance of the treaty on the sole condition that coaling facilities be allowed the Dominican navy in American ports. He also asks for the removal of import duties on sugar, practically an American indus- | try, which cannot exist under present conditions.” The acquisition of some island of the West Indies for a coaling station has been recognized by naval experts as necessary, and it is believed that if Denmark were | pressed she would sell the little island of | St. Croix for a reasonable sum. Next to | a coaling station in the West Indies, aval experts have contended ihat one | | in Hawaii issecond in importance. There | | is now available in the treasury $300,000 | for the establishment of a coaling station, | which can be used on the one proposed at | Pearl Harbor. This ssme money could | be devoted, however, to Samana station if | Smythe is restored to office and given a | chance to complete his negotiations. § g Sl WHAT WILL 1HE VERDICT BE? Romeyn Trial Ended and Result Dis- patched to General Merritt. ATLANTA, GA., May 3,—The Romeyn | court-martial completed its work at noon to-day, and two hours later, after secret deliberation, reached a conclusion and | dispatched it to General Merritt, head of the Department of the East. Just what | the verdict is no person outside of the offi- | 1 cial thirteen has any definite knowledge | | , but speculation all extends on the line of either absolute acquittal for Romeyn | or his exoneration on the body of the | | chargesand a reprimand for bis share in the parade-ground episode. The judge advocate and Eomeyn for the défense summed up tbeir respective sides this | morning, adding nothing of importance to the evidence already aaduced. It is charged that Lieutenants Bamford, O'Bren and Martin and Captain Carter, both previous to and during the trial have violated the articles of war, the pen- | alty for which is court-martial, but the | | members composing the board have pro- | nounced the task of farther investigation | into this complicated web impossible fora military court. Both™ the official family at the garrison | and its friends are uneasily awaiting rar- ther movements on the part of the Wash- ington suthorities, for no one believes, | after what has been brought to light by the court-martial, that the War Depart- | ment can afford to ignore conditions pre- vailing at the post. e FIGHT WITH TILE-THIEVES. Three Out of a Ging of Five Wounded and Captured. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 3.—The cow-punchers of Indian Territory are run- ning off farmers’ stock at sn alarming | rate. Early this morning a drove was in- tercepted by farmers near Eufala and an | effort made to kill the five men in charge | Lofit. | Avout twenty-five shots were fired and three of the thieves fell from their horses. | The other two escaped. Jerry Wilson, one | of the farmers, had his horse killed ana | | received a dangerous wound in the shoul- der. P. A. Berrv, another farmer, was| shot in the right thigh. Several less dan- | gerous wounds were snstained by the otbers. Two of the wounded men proved to be hali-breed Choctaw Indians living near the neighborhod, while the third was Henry Hennessey, an outlaw wanted at Fort ‘Smith on a charge of murder. The | cattle were taken to Webbers Falls and shipped from there to members of the gang residing in this city, where they were disposed of at high prices. MAY 4, 1897 TWELVE MILLIONS FOR THIS RAILWAY Sale of the Atlantic and Pacific Line at Gallup. Bid in by a Representative of the Santa Fe Board of Directors. Many Improvements Projected, but Officlals Will Not Be Changed. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., May. 3.—At the Atlantic and Pacific Railway sale in Gallup to-day the property was bid n for $12,000,000 by Aldace ¥. Walker, chair- man of the board of diroctors for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and of the general purchasing committes of the Santa Fe's system. The special car containing Chairman ‘Walker and party arrived in Albuquerque Saturday night. They spent Sunday bere overlooking the Banta Fe’s varied interests and conferring with leading citizens about the !improvements under project. Eurly this morning the special left for Gallup. Very little interest wastaken in the sale in that city. The citizens knew that the Santa Fe was already the practical owner of the Atlantic and Pacific and that the sale wasa mere ceremony. It passed off quietly and after a short stay in the city the special returned to Albuquerque, riving this evening. That the: Santa Fe has under view the | eentralization of the shops and offices at one main point is acknowledged, but when this will commence is not known. This city seems to be the favored one. Many adaitions will be made to the shops bere and it is more than probable that 400 men will be added to the payrolls. There will not be many changes made in tne working officials of theroad. Every- thing west of this city will be under the ceneral superintendency of A. G. Wells. This will also inciude the California Southern. From this city to Seligman, Ariz., C. R. Perry will be division superintendent. From Seligman to San Bernardino John Denair will be division superintendent. G.

Los Angeles will be the headquarters for the auditing department, which will be under the charge of W. E. Walsh. In Los Angeles also will be the headquarters fos the general passenger and ticket de- partment, under the charge of J. J. Byrne. MAY RESULT IN HOSTILITIES.
