WASHINGTON, Oct As a last des- perate effort to be retained in the army, Captaln James G. Blaine made an appeal to-day direct to the President. Owing to his misconduct at Honolulu and Manila Secretary Alger decided several days ago that young Blaine must be mustered out. As final evidence of his willingness to show leniency, Adjutant General Corbin sent a telegram to Major General Otis asking him if he were willing to have Captain Blaine returned to duty at Ma- nila, this being believed to be the onl course open to the Government, as his of. fenses had been committed while attached to General Otis’ army corps, and General Otis was the only person who had a right to o\-erlog}; lh:én.‘ s " It was deemed inadvisable to send Cap- tain Blaine elsewhere, as the x»nennlu o cer fo whose staff h¢ might be assigned would probably object to being made. ro- sponsible for an officer who had been de. tached from one command on account of his reprehensible conduct. General Otis’ answer was received to-night, and his de- cision can hardly result in anything short of the mustering out of Captain Diatne: General Otis cabled that there was no place in his command for the young as- Sistant adjutant general. This was con- strued to mean that Otis did not want Blaine with him at Manfla, WILL GO ON THE TICKET. Middle-of-the-Road Populists in Mis- souri Score a Victory. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct. 25.—The State Supreme Court to-day granted the Middle-of-the-Road Populists a writ of mandamus to compel the Secretary of State to place their State ticket on the official ballot. The ‘‘regulars” claimed the middle-of-the-roadsters were bolters from the regular convention, but the Su- preme Court holds that before this ac- tion they had a majority of the dele- ates and therefore were entitled to ave thelr ticket placed on the ballot.

EACH SIDE SEEKS TIME | BUT SPAIN WILL NOT PROFIT BY POSTPONEMENTS. At the Cabinet Meeting at Washing- ton It Is Decided Not to Assume Debts of the Dons in Cuba. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Oct. 25.—The American Com- mission was in session during the whole of this afternoon. The deliberations | of the Commissioners, however, had no | relation to the question of the Cuban debt, upon which question the attitude of the United States has been strictly | determined. The Commissloners discussed the Philippine question to-day and decided upon the policy to follow. It is be- lieved the American Commission has full power to deal with this matter, as they may judge best in the interests of the United States.” The Gaulois to-day, referring to yes- | terday’s joint session, says: “It is | certain that both sides will endeavor to | gain time, the Americans not wishing to take up the Philippine question be- | fore the United States’ Congressional elections have taken place and they do not want a certain alleged mystery previously disclosed by the Gaulois to become known at present.”” This refers to the alleged rumor that there has been some agreement be- tween the United States and Spain out- side of the protocol regarding Spanish sovereignty, an allegation which the | on high authority to be untrue. | Continuing, the Gaulois affirms that the Spaniards are delaying a solution | of the Cuban debt until after the elec- | tions in the United States, “‘expecting then to get better terms,” adding that it “fears Spain does not perceive the advantages possible to her from the electoral situation in the United States.” | . | CABINET CONSIDERS CUBAN SITUATION WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—At the Cabinet meeting to-day the situation in Cuba was gone over for the informa- | tion of those members who did not see | the President yesterday. It was ex- | plained that the time limit for the evac- | uation of the island had been extended from December 1 to January 1, and that the United States would assume con- | trol of the government of the several citles and provinces as fast as they | were evacuated by the Spaniards, but | no faster. Havana probably will be | the last of the cities to remove its troops and the last to surrender civil control to the United States. This, however, must be accomplished by the | 1st of January. | The question of the relation Porto ‘Rlcu shall bear to the General Govern- ment of the United States is receiving | the careful consideration of the Presi- | dent and the members of the Cabinet. | The question of a change in the cur- | rency system of the islands, the cus- toms and internal revenue laws, suf- frage and many other incidental but | highly important subjects are now uns der consideration and probably will be | treated upon at some length in the President’s forthcoming message to Congress. It is not unlikely that Con- | gress will be asked to pass some need- ed general legislation respecting the | temporary government of the island with a recommendation that a com- mission be appointed to consider with more deliberation than is possible in a short session of Congress all of the questions involved and make a report at a future time. Nothing of a dis- quieting nature has been heard from our peace commission at Paris, the con- tention of the Spaniards that the TUnited States should assume the Cu- ban debt, or any other Spanish obliga- | tion, beyond the recognition as valld of the municipal obligations of Havana and possibly other Cuban cities, is re- ceived here with perfect equanimity. Such a procedure is out of the question, as our Commissioners knew before they | left Washington. QUAKERS WELCOME- THE NAVAL HEROES | Immense Crowd Present at Opening of the Philadelphia Peace Jubilee. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25.—Philadel- phia lifted its hand and doffed the na tion’s hat to its naval heroes to-day. The most {llustrious actors of the war, whose glorious end is the motive of the cele- bration, learned what the country thinks of them. Sigsbee, Philip, Evans, Wain- wright—these were some of the men. The Texas, the Gloucester, the Winslow, the Mayflower—these were some of the | ships. | "The Government was represented by Secretary of the Navy Long; the people by a throng that filled every bit of tim- ber on each shore of the Delaware River and jammed every available craft to the point of danger. The marine. pageant was one of surpassing brilliancy and grandeur. Secretary Long, with Lieutenant Cuth- erland and Captain Bob Evans on either side, stationed himself on the bridge of the May, and presently the Columbia, the first of the warships, was reached. Her officers and men were drawn upon deck, and her six-pounders began to roar ouf the Secretary’s salute of seventeen guns. \With the beginning of the salute came the bugle and drum salute from the ship and before the echoes of the first shot had been swallowed up by the boom of the second a veritable pandemonium of whistles, small guns and the roar of the crowds broke out and continued through- out the procession. The Texas, Gloucester and the Winslow received the best share of enthusiasm, The Kasagi's officers and men were lined up like Americans and saluted the Sec- retary quite as well, but as her guns are at Armstrongs, In England, the salute was therefore a silent one. Apart from the naval pageant, the city has seen a busy day preparing for to- morrow’s disgl:sy;. Commodore Philip to-day recelved the following telegram: “Can ¥0u find a place for me In the parade Thursday as a Confederate vet- eran and survivor of the old Merrimac?” It was signed by R. G. Foute, a Call- fornia Bishop who is now in Washington, Mayor Warwick assumed charge of the request and said Foute would be mounted beside General Wheeler in the military parade. S L Fire Brick Trust.

Hipp of the Massillon Firebrick Com- pany has secured options on the plants the Associated Press has already declared | | | | | firebrick companies of this country, and they will be soon pur- chased and operated by a trust. It is claimed that Eastern capital, amount- ing to $12,000,000, is behind the scheme. GEORGE M. CONDE DEAD. He Was Mayor of Placerville in the Days of Old. | George M. Conde, who was known and esteemed by many of the pioneers of California, died at his residence, 2118 Van Ness avenue, on Sunday morning and was buried in the Masonic Cemetery yes- terday afternoon. Mr. Conde was born in Schenectady, N. Y., seventy-two years ago and camé to California early in the fifties. He settled in El Deorado County, and by his many estimable qualities soon became popular. He was elected Mayor of Placerville in 1%54, and was subsequently twice elected to the Legislature. In i85 Mr. Conde came to this city and was appointed cashier of the Farmers' and Mechanics’ Bank, a position which he held during its existénce. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. . Wilson, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. IT WAS THE FERRY SUICIDE, MRS. MILLER of all the leadlng HER BODY RECOVERED FROM THE BAY YESTERDAY. Identified by the Woman With Whom She Lived in This City. The body of a woman taken from the bay yesterday by the United States steamship Vigilant has been identified as that of Mrs. Mamie Miller, the woman who was supposed to have jumped from the ferryboat Piedmont Saturday night. The body was identified by Mrs. May Howard, with whom the dead woman lived at 292 O'Farrell street. The Vigilant was on her way down from Mare Island when one of the crew saw the body floating just off the steamer’s course. Lieutenant Evans, who com- mands the Vigilant, ordered the boat stopped and the body was taken on deck and was brought to this city. At first it was supposed that the body was that of a woman who lived on Du- pont street and who owns considerable property there. A police officer declared he knew the woman, but he could not give her name. The body was taken to the Morgue and there Mrs. Howard identified it as that of her friend, Mrs. Miller. It had been almost disrobed by the action of the water, but the features were not marred and Mrs. Howard had no diffi- culty in recognizing the face. Mrs. Howard has no idea what &rompt- ed the suicide to take her life. When she left the house on O'Farrell street last Saturday she gave no indlcation that she She said she had any suicidal purpose. had money, but immediately after leaving the house she went to a jewelry store and pawned a ring for $1 50. The mark on her finger made by the ring is still visible. When she pawned her ring she told the {weweler she was going to take a Hammam ath and she wanted the money for that purpose. That is the last known of her until her hat and purse were found on the ferryboat. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 25.—Mrs. Ralph Griswold, an aunt of Mrs. Miller, was seen at her home, 1321 N street, by The Call correspondent this evening. She had just returned from the telegraph office, where she had sent a message to Mrs. Miller’s parents at Eagle Grove, Ia., noti- fying them of the finding of the body. Mrs. Griswold said: “Mrs. Miller was a widow. Her hus- band was killed in an accident on the rail- road in the East. “I don’t see why Mrs. Miller should have committed suicide, because she could have come to me at any time and I would have helped her. Her folks in the East are of the highest respectability. I have nothing but kindness for her memory."” Mrs. Griswold was very much affected by the news that had reached her but a short time before. She will leave for San Francisco to-morrow morning. ———————————— MATCHMAKER CALLAHAN IN SEARCH OF TALENT OFFERS TO MATCH McCONNELL AGAINST OLD OPPONENTS. R. E. Callahan, the popular match- maker for the Sacramento Athletic Club, arrived in this city last evening in search of talent. The particular object of his visit is to try and arrange a match for Frank McConnell, the hard hitting local welter- weight who gave Green his hard battle some weeks ago. Mr. Callahan declared his willingness to match MecConnell agalnst any man of his weight in the world. McConnell has accepted the Sac- ramento Athletic Club's offer to meet any of his old opponents, and as tempting in- ducements are offered, it is more than likely that before long Green, or some other clever man, will be pitted against McConnell. The residents of Sacramento are desir- ous of seeing Stelzner and Kennedy in the ring and Mr. Callahan is empowered by_his club to offer the heavy-weights a $1000 purse and sixty per cent of the gross receipts to fight. In the last meeting Kenntdy gained a decision over Stelzner after twenty rounds’ hard fighting, but the latter was not satisfied. He has been heard to say that he could whip Kennedy and wanted another try. Stelzner has fought before the Sacramento club on numerous occa- sfons, and when he learns of this tempt- ing offer he will doubtless accept. Mr. Callahan called attention to a re- mark made by Sammy Maxwell, who so handily whipped Jimmy Lawler, that he would bet his own money that he could put_out Bob Thompson, the colored idol of Los Angeles. Mr. Callaban says he stands willing to put Thompson in the ring against Maxwell at 133 pounds for either a bet or a purse. “The Sacramento Athletic Club,” said the matchmaker, “is booming and is anxious to pull off.some good matches. During the past year a number of inter- esting events between prominent expo- nents of the manly art were exhibited to large gatherings and with satisfaction to the participants.” THE IOWA REGIMENT WON THE TROPHY TENNESSEE BOYS DEFEATED IN COMPETITIVE DRILL. The grand competitive military drill given last evening at Mechanics’ Pavilion under the auspices of the Army and Navy Christian Commission of the Young Men's Christian Association, was won by Company M of the Fifty-first Jowa In- fantry of the United States Volunteers. In addition to winning the decision as the best drilled company, a magnificent sil- ver trophy, the gift of Shreve & Co., was presented to the boys from Iowa. Although there were three companies announced to participate in the driil, Company M, Fifty-first Towa Infantry, Company M of the Twentleth Kansas In- fantry and Company F of the First Ten- nessee Infantry, there were but two that engaged In the contest, the Kansas Regi- ment being unable to attend. After considerable debate the decision was awarded the Iowa regiment by the judges, who complimented the members on their perfect knowledge of tactics and also on their soldlerly bearing and be- havior while in the ranks. i gl By dadiel Policeman Kenville’s Case. Four witnesses were examined yester- day in the assault to murder case against Policeman Kenville for throwing his club and striking the boy, Willie Lynch. They were Charles C. Hasel, Willlam H. Hunt, W. D. McKinney and Policeman Neil Reardon. None of them saw a club thrown, and Reardon testified that boys were throwing rocks at the time and some of the rocks fell between the boy and Kenville. It was his opinion that the bo; was struck by a rock. The hearing wifl be continued before Juage Mogan this morning. 5 ———— Suicide of a Hotel Manager. CHICAGO, Oct. 25—D. 8.

MULE DRIVERS USED AS NURSES What One Army Officer Saw In Cuba. COLONEL CABELL TESTIFIES INVESTIGATION COMMISSION IMPRESSED WITH HIS STORY. Surgeon Boss Found Medical Supplies Rather Short Until He to Learned How Get Laem. ANNISTON, Ala., Oct. Boss, assistant surgeon of the First In- fantry, was the first witness before the War Investigation Commission to-day. He was with the Fourth Infantry in Cuba. He arrived in Cuba on the 10th of July. He found the medical supplies shert, and was unable to secure any of them for a few days, until he learned how to get them from the division hos- pital. There was a sufficient quantity of quinine, but a shortage of morphine, however, he had all of this latter rem- edy that was absolutely necessary. He was able to secure hospital stores such as food delicacies by ‘rustling” for them, getting them first from the Red Cross Society and then going to Santi- ago for them. Other witnesses at the forenoon ses- sion were Fountain Ragland and Ed- ward Simmons, colored, of the Third Alabama; D. C. Lemke, quartermaster sergeant of the Fourth Wisconsin; Con- gressman C-lson, colonel of the Fourth Kentucky, and Lieutenant Colonel Ca- bell of the Second Arkansas. Colonel Cabell said in reply to the questions put by Dr. Connor, that he had observed a condition of affairs at the hospital of the Second Division of the Third Army Corps in June which he considered horrible. He had him- self seen one sick man lying without the protection of even a tent, and he had been informed by other officers that several others had been left in the same way. He thought the doctors were honest enough, but that they did not know how to get supplies. Mule drivers had been used for nurses, and he had been reliably informed that many of them were in the habit of get- ting drunk and onsuchoccasions neg- lecting their patients. He said Dr. Schooler was the division surgeon at the time. Colonel Cabell is a lieutenant in the regular army and his testimony made an evident impression upon the com- mission. THE THROTTLE HELD IN A DEATH GRASP Passenger Train Runs at Lightning Speed With the Engineer Dz2ad at His Post. SUSQUEHANNA, Pa., Oct. 25.—When the night express train, eastbound, ar- rived at this station at midnight last night, the engineer, Henry Kingsley of Susquehanna, was found dead in the cab with his head badly crushed. After the train left Binghamton, twenty-three miles west of here, trainmen and others noticed that the engineer failed to give the usual signal at crossings and small stations, and also that the train was running at un- usual speed. Fireman Cowen noted that the whistle was not blown for this station, and going forward in the cab, found the dead engineer. The train had run at a. ter- rific speed twenty miles without any one in charge. There were over 200 passen- gers on board. It is supposed the engineer was hit by a water crane at a point just east of Binghamton. Kingsley was one of the most reliable men on the Erie rallroad. He leaves a widow and several children. e AN OLD TRAGEDY BROUGHT TO LIGHT Ohio Couple Held for a Murder Com- mitted a Dozen Years Ago. ‘WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE, Ohio, Oct. %.—Hannah West and Abraham Huffman have been bound over by the Grand Jury on the charge of murder- ing. Louls Ball in this city twelve yvears ago by beheading him with a razor. The arrest of the prisoners was the result of a recent death-bed confession by Mrs. Anna Jeffries. who said she held Ball's head while Huffman cut it off with a razor in Mrs. West’s house, the blood flowing into a tub. Ball's head and body were lald across the railroad track to create the impression that he had been killed by the cars. CAPTAIN NEVILLS CAUSED A SCENE Charges Against Lawyer Church. SENSATION IN A COURTROOM ACCUSES THE ATTORNEY OF COMPLICITY. Threatened With Punishment for Contempt by Judge Risley if He Repeats His Epecial Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Oct. 25.—A sensational scene occurred in Superior Judge Ris- ley’s courtroom this afternoon during the trial of Dr. Winslow Anderson of San Francisco against Mrs. Elsie Wil- liams, Captain Nevills’ nemesis. The claim was for $2000 for medical attend- ance. The services were not denied, but Mrs. Willlams claims that Captain Nevills had sent her to Dr. Anderson and was to have paid the bill. Captain Nevills was called to the stand on behalf of the plaintiff in re- buttal of Mrs. Williams’ testimony. He denied that he had guaranteed the doctor’s fee. During his cross-exam- ination by Attorney George E. Church of this city Captain Nevills created a scene in court by declaring that he would send Mr. Church to the peniten- tiary along with Azhderain, Mrs. Loose and Mrs. Williams. An exciting dialogue ensued between the witness and attorney, in the course of which Mr. Nevills declared several times that Church was just as deep in the scheme to blackmail him as the others, and that he would put him in State prison before he got through with him. Captain Nevills in his an- ger lost control of himself entirely. He declared Mrs. Willlams had told him of the whole plot, and that the attorney was implicated in it. “This is interesting,” remarked Mr. Church. “It will be more Interesting when I get through with you,” replied Nevills. Judge Risley threatened to send the aged capitalist to jail if he Tre- peated his threat. Judge Church stands high in the profession here, be- ing president of the Bar Association. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Willlam: FIERCE BLIZZARDS IN THE MIDDLE STATES Telegraph Wires Down in All Direc- tions and Traffic @enerally Demoralized.
