Theory Is Advanced That the Crime Resulted From Blackmailing Methods Pursued by Officials. A Special Dispatch to The Call. HAVANA, June 18.—The local papers to-day devote considerable space to the murder of the notorious Minnie Ross, who was killed with the blunt end of a hatchet after having been choked and was found dead early vesterday morning. It was first reported that a well-known army of- ficer was involved by the uniform found in the room of Fred Krauz, the suspect WHEELER WANTS FIGHTING DUTY Unless Given do Active Command) He Will Relinquish His Commission. WASHINGTON, June 18.—Unless active duty is given to Major Gen- eral Joseph Wheeler before Congress convenes, that officer will resign commission and resume his seat in the Hou.sc General Wheeler's application for service in the Philippines has not been withdrawn, and he is still hopeful that the President will see his way clea¥ to assigning him to duty under General Otis’ command. Offi- oials of the War Department, however, are opposed to the granting of General Wheeler's request, for the reason, it is said, he will be com- pelled as a brigadier to serve under officers whom he ranked during the Spanish war. General Wheeler, however, feels that as he expects obedi- ence from his subordinates so would he give obedience to those who his superiors. It is recalled that some weeks ago the President specially organized the Department of Texas in order to provide General Wheeler with a command, but that officer when it was offered to him declined on the ground that he would prefer more active duty. General Wheeler appreciates that if he resumes his s commission in the RO %3 tin the House ORONTLOL O OROKORORO now in custody, but the uniform undoubt- | edly is one formerly worn by Krauz. He is said to be a member of a wealthy Tam family. Thus far there is but lit- tle evidence against him. Many believe, | from the nature of the crime, that it was committed by a woman. One theory is that the blow of the hatchet was not im- mediately fatal and that the victim was then choked to _death. Robbery could scarcely have heen the motive, for the police found $2500 in the murdered wo- man’s room and a quantity of valuable jewelry on her dressing table. 5 Another theory is that the authorities, having received definite information that he will be compelled to resign_ i armyr andihie o would regret to take sach action he feels he can serve the ¢ et b Serving in Congress than he would on waiting orders as brigadier b S Congress convenes, however, the Prosiq general.

June 18.—If the unanimous ns' committee, which DENVER opinion of the citiz of the Rio Grande Rail by Mayor Johnson and Gov- ernor Thomas, in behalf of the city of Denver and the State of Colorado to en- deavor to effect a settlement of trouble between smelter managers and thefr em- ployes, is a criterion, it is only a mat- ter of a few days until the large smelt- ers in this city and Pueblo, at least, now closed on account of wage differ- ences, will be in operation. The commit- tee was in session the greater part of this afternoon and went over the situa- tion in conjunction with four of the em- ployes from each of the Globe and Grant smelters of this city. It is said that it developed in the meet- ing that the matier of waxes and hours to be accorded to employes in the smelt- ers concerned in the lock-out has become secondary to that of recognition of the Smelter Employes’ Union. The Employes’ Union is affiliated with the Western Fed- eration of Miners, and it is said the board of operators of the American Smelting and Refining Company is averse to recog- nizing-the federation as having any rights in disputes between the manggers and The members of the citizens' committee gave the following statement to the public: “The committee has, according to best judgment, furthered the opening of negotiations between the smelter mana- gers and thefr men, with a view to an dent Jeffer; early resumption of work, and the com- | mittee believes that progress has been made which, in a few days, may culmi- % of the smelters in Denver and Pueblo. It is learned that the pres Refininfi Company will probably arrive | in Denver next Wednesday, when a mu- tually satisfactory scale of wages may be agreed upon between the managers and the men. In the meantime the com- mittee will offer its services to help bring about so desirable a result. RICH COPPER ORE ON CARBON RIVER Deposits East of Tacoma to Be De- veloped on a Large Scale. TACOMA, June 15.—W. Darling of Oakland, who recently bonded thirt, v copper claims in the Carbon River district, | east of Tacoma here en route to New York and Boston, where he will compleie arrangements for pushing development on a large scale. He believes he has secured control of property that will become an- other Anaconda. Ores from his claims run from 18 to 33 per cent copper, and from $21 to $391 in gold, besides carry:ng some silyer. Some af the outcroppings | are on hillsides, where ore can be cheaply | mined. Several mining experts who have | examined the property declare its rich- ness_to be wonderful. A Boston syndicate has just arranged to spend a large sum in developing copper | properties on Gravina Island, Southeam - | ern Alaska. Here there are over 100,00 | tons of ore in sight, fivernglng 13 per cent copper and nearly 310 in gold and silver per ton. Several other coppér properties are being developed in the Northwest, the high price of copper giving an impetus to this branch of mining. - Cleveland Street Cars Idle. CLEVELAND, June 18 —There were no | new developments in the strike of the | street rallway men to-day, principally for the reason that the company made | no attempt to operate cars except on the Euclid-avenue line. The police still af-| ford ample protection, and the cars were | run on schedule time from 7 o'clock in | the morning until 6 o’clock this evening. It is expected that an attempt will be made to-morrow morning to resume op- erations on some of the other lines, and more trouble is looked for.

Morse of the King-Morse Canning Company, rep- resentative of the cannery combine, is in this city taking an inventory of the local cannery. Mr. Morse is one of four ap- n on canneries that have given options on | their plants to the promoters of the com- bine. Mr. Morse is firmly convinced that the proposed combine or trust will become a reality, although he says at the present time consolidation has not been effected, all newspaper reports to the contrary not- withstanding. The options on the differ- ent plants expire about July 8, so that it will be only a short time before some- thing is done one way or the other. APPOINTMENTS BY GAGE.

REDDING, June 15.—The city Board of Education passed resolutions last night to bond the city for $20000 for the pur- chase of a site and the erection of a new public schoal building. A special election was called for July 15. The bonds will be in denomination of $1000 and will mature at the rate of $2000 a year. They will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The action of the board was prompted by the necessity for more commodious quarters. More than 100 pupils could not be seated last term. The public appears to favor a new building, and it is thought the bonds will carry by a big majority. Deputy Sheriff Assaulted. SAUSALITO, June 13.—Deputy Sheriff | Fred Shaer was severely cut and bruised to-night by five hoodlums whom he was trying to arrest for killing chickens near San Rafael Park. Two of the roughs were arrested here by Marshal Hannon and released by Justice Bellrude on giv- ing $50 cash bail. Three of them got off the train at Larkspur and have not been captured. It is doubtful if the two men arrested will ever appear for trial, as the names they gave—Frank Johnson and James Carroll—were evidently fictitious. | The charges placed against them were | battery and resisting an officer. | AR Ty Tax on Bicycles Not Increased.

I've been working the scheme for several months, and my stock has advanced about a thousand | points a day. How do I do it? Well, | to illustrate the thing, I was standing in a crowd on Canal street recently | watching the big piledriver hammering | down the walls for the drainage canal. | “Whole lot of power there,’ remarked a | gentleman at my elbow, as the weight | came down, biff! ‘Immense,’ I replied, | ‘and, by the way, I was just making an | Interesting calculation in regard to it. | Do you know, sir, that blow is exactly equal to 9562 carpenters driving ten- penny nalls into two-inch oak planks | with four-pound steel hammers?” The | man looked startled. ‘You don't say | so, professor?” he replied, respectfully, {and presently I saw him whispering to | the others, who sized me up with awe. | The other day when it was raining I joined a group under an awning. ‘Bad day,’ said somebody. ‘Yes,’ I returned. ‘I was amusing myself a few minutes ago In figuring up the quantity of water that has fellen in the city limits between 6 a. m. and noon.” At that the other fellows got interested. ‘How much was it, doctor?” asked one of 'em. ‘Poured into a row of ordinaryw half-pint tumblers,” T said, impressive. ly, ‘it would make a line once and two- fifths around the globe; it would fill a thirteen-inch gun barrel reaching from here to a point about nine miles east of Copenhagen; it would quench the matutinal thirst of 9,468,941 Ken- tucky colonels the day after Christ- mas; it would barely go into a tank 562 kilometers long and 2411 millime- ters wide.” By Jove! You ought to have seen those fellows’ eves stick out! ‘When they see me now they all touch their hats. I squelched a smart Alec at our boarding house by informing him at the table that the pies consumed annually in New Orleans would form a column, piled one above the other, pre- cisely 12,622 miles high. ‘Ol I admit it leaves about sixteen pies over,” L said, when he ventured a question, ‘but that's only 3% dekometer: and too small to compute.’ That settled him. Now I'm the accepted authority of the establishment on everyvthing from hash to hydraulies. I've found it a good idea, by the way, to use the decimal system whenever possible. It mixes 'em up when you begin to talk about millimeters and hectometers™and gives a fine flavor of learning to your ree marks. I never ran across a fellow yet who dared to question a statement in decimals.

The New York, New Haven and - ford Railroad has recently adopted a!;]ta‘;:_ portant change in its night signals, and 15 gradually putting it in operation on the various divisions of the road. It has al- taken effect in most of the eastern di ns, but the Hartford div which this is the terminus, ha heen included. The change consists in tha use of green instead of white lights to de- note safety, and vellow instead of green lights for caution.” The regular red signal is retained for a danger signal. The man- agement has hcen making a study of the question of night signals and has adopted this new system after a long series ot experiments by experts. A green light i3 easier seen at night than a white one, and also said to be excellent for night use. All the other roads in this:part of the country use what js called the standard system, red for danger, white for safety, green for caution. 1 roads hereabouts use green gl in thei witeh lamps.—Springfield n\fa .) Republican. His High Moral Tone. I had a friend who, being for a short time Governor of a province in a Central American republic and finding things be- come too hot for him, collected all the pubiic money he could find and silently one night abdicated in a canoe down to the coast, and taking ship came-to Lute- tia; and then, his money spent, lectured upon the fauna and flora of the country he had robbed; and, touching on the peo. ple, always used to say that it was very sad their moral tone was low.—A Journey thing. in Morocco-
