WASHINGTON, April 15. — Secretary Long’s candidacy for the Republican Vice- Presidential nomination is not looked upon with favor by all the friends of thé ad- ministration. One of McKinley’s most in- timate friends said to-night that it would be a_mistake to nominate the Secretary of the Navy. It would open up the Sampson- BSchley controversy and make it an issue in the campaign., and would make the loss of Maryland certain.

Young Man Had Been Speculating in Stocks and Lost a Large Sum of Money in a Recent Failure. BT VAT WATERBURY, Vt.,, April 15.—John C. Farrar, teller of the Waterbury National Bank, is missing and there is a defalcation | | of $25,000 of the bank’s funds. The com- | | munity is greatly shocked by the news, | as Farrar was considered a model young | man. His parents are very estimable peo- | le, and two years ago he married a young ady of high standing. The shortage was discovered by Cashier Wells Friday afternoon.

He | was treasurer of the village and had | charge of about $3500 in that capacity, but | it is not known whether these funds are missing. Farrar had been speculating In stocks. He was a heavy loser in the recent fallure of Knott & Clausson, stockbrokers of Bur- lington. Ex-Governor W. P. Dillingnam is presi- dent of the bank. Its capital is $100,000 and its surplus over $35,000. The bank of- ficials stated to-day that the loss could be readily borne.

DETROIT, April 15.—"1 think Admiral Dewey has made a grave mistake in an- nouncing his candidacy for the Presi- dency,” said ex-Secretary of War Alger in the course of an interview to-night. “It looks as though the wealth of praise showered upon _the admiral since his re- turn from the East has turned his head.

Y., April 15.— While everything is quiet and peaceful | in the neighborhood of the Croton dam to-night, nearly 300 armed deputies. are | guarding the works, and each one of them is guessing as to what to-morrow may bring forth. The striking Italian labor- ers, whose homes are in the vicinity of the | works, are behaving themselves excel- lently. But underneath their assumed quiet there is stubborn resolve not to go back to work nor let any outsiders take their places until the contractors agree | to pay the increase of wages demanded. Strenuous efforts are being made by Ital- ian Consul Branchi to bring about a set- tlement of the difficulty. The strikers are very determined their demands, and swear that if vutside in | labor is brought here they will fight tooth | and nail to prevent it. Angelo Rotella, who is the recognized leader of the strik: ers, sald to-day: “This is a ftight to a finish. the contractors must pay us for our work.

ADVERTISEMENTS. MILLIGNAIRE WRIGHT DIES OFHIS WOUND Insisted On His Deathbed That Mrs. Lottridge Was Blameless. e Chief of Police Has No Evidence Against the Woman, but Believes the Dead Man Did Not Shoot Himself. nster ale —r— HOES. osing Out LAST YEAR’S TS CHICAGO, April 15.—Rufus Wright, the sion of a revolver in the apartments of | Mrs. Louisa Lottridge, at the Leland | Hotel, died to-day from the effects of the | wound. The body of the millionaire is at an undertaking room, where an Inquest will be held to-morrow. It is the opinion of the police that the Coronor's gation will mark the s tional case. A state- ment by the deceased to Chief of Detec- | tives Colleran that the shooting was ac- cidental will, it is thought, clear Mrs. Lottridge* of all responsibility. Wright died with words of exculpation on his lips for the woman whose revolver was re- sponsible for his death. He persisted in saying that the woman was not to blame for his condition, and that he had the revolver in his hand when it was dis- charged. Mr. Wright's son-in-law and partner, Fred Morgan, was at his side at death. Morgan insisted that his father-in- law was on an errand to help a friend who had become entangled with the | woman when he recefved his death wound. Although he admits he can offer no ev! dence, Chief of Detectives Colleran | strongly believes that the weapon was | not in the hands of Wright when it was discharged. A careful examination of the position of the wound, he says, will show | that it would be impossible for Wright to | have held the weapon in his hand. cap-;‘ | tain Colleran says also that Mrs. Lott- The strikers are all well armed with guns | and pistols, and in this regard they have a decided advantage over the Sheriff's | deputies, who have only long night sticks and 32-caliber revolvers. The deputies are in a valley, while the strikers com- mand the adjoining hill. With the guns the Italians could riddle the Sheriff’s men, who in return could not send a bullet from their revolvers half way up the hill- side in case a fight should take place. There were several additions to the ranks of the deputies to-cay and there are now 200 of them at the works. Many of them complain of the food furnished and of overwork, and threats of a strike among the duties’ were rife to-day. The strikers and the deppties mingled at the Easter service in the little Roman Catholic chapel in the valley. The men greeted each other amicably and there was no show of trouble. Father Owens counseled the strikers to cbey the law and shun the saloons. ‘When informed late to-night that troops were about to be ordered out, Angelo Ro- tella, the leader, was and downcast.

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 15.—Advices from Benson late to-night say that at 9 o'clock this morning Jesus Garcia and another Mexican held up a faro game in Tom Steel's saloon, in Johnson Mining Camp, twenty-five miles east of Benson, and killed Scott Weathersby, a prominent mining man, who attempted to prevent their escape. The bullet struck Weathersby over the right eye, xilling him instantly. Steel and a number of others armed themselves immediately and opened fire on the escap- ing bandits before they could.get out of range. One of the Mexicans was slightly wounded, but both made their escape. They are now headed south, and a posse, led by Deputy Sheriff Page, is in_ close fursult. ‘There is so much reason to be- ieve the murderers will be apprehended that a lynching party has alread{ been organized to deal summarily with the two desperadoes.
