W., WASHINGTON, April 16.—President McKinley is determined to make it clear that the appointment by the Cuban Con- itutional Convention of a committee to come to Washington does not prejudice General Wood in his eyes.

PR SRR A | WASHINGTON, April 16.—Solicitor Gen- eral Richards to-day filed with the | United States Supreme Court a brief in opposition to the application for bail filed | about. ten days ago in behalf of former | Captaln Oberlin ‘M.

After re- viewing the history of the case the So-| licitor General says in part: il The ¥alidity of Carter's conviction and sen- | tence by the cous 1 which alone coul ed as an officer of | violat{on of the ar- sustained by three not counting th: | the T'nited States army | ucles of war bas been civil courts and five Judges, | court, om i | “lawful tribunal,” and asks to be released | from imprisonment pending the hearing this second appeal, upon the following grounds: First, because he is suffering from neuras- thenia angd is on the verge of nervous collapse by reasoif of mental anguish, owing to his imprisonment; second, because he is innocent of the charges on which he was convicted by the court-martial, and the oniy way he can tablish his innocence, £0 he says, is by pres ing to trial the charges embraced in the Gleor- gia indictment which, he asserts, cannot be tried -because of his absence from Georgia. Health Perfectly Sound. As to the first ground the Solicitor Gen- | its an argument tending toshow \ | \ Carter’s sound mental condition and fil with the court the affidavits of five phy | siclans who examined Carter and affirm in closing that “Carter is not now suffer- ing neurasthenia; that he is not on the | verge of nervous collapsc; that his ner- vous condition is not greater than we | would expect to find in a heaithy person | of said Carter's standing confined in | prison. -Affiants further say that sald Ca: |ter s “now physically and mentally sound.” This affidavit is supplemented by affi- davits from the warden and physician of | the prison. | | “As to the second ground for release on | bail the Solicitor General says in part: | Since Carter has dragged into this case the | fact that he is under indictment along with Greene and the Gaynors and has sworn that | the criminal case cannot be tried because of | his absence from Georgia, and asserts that he wants to be released so he may demand a | trial by jury in Georgia and prepare for It, | | #t is proper for me to call the attention of the | court to the fact that if the criminal case | cannot be tried without Carter, neither can | it be tried without his co-conspirators, Greene | and the Gaynony Yet, ever since the indi ment was found® in December, 159, the G | ernment has beén. strenuously’ endeavoring to | secure the removal of Greene and the Gaynors from New York to Georgia for trial.

Is it any wonder that he | desires to be put in a position where h | can personally handle the sinews of war | | which he obtained by fraud from the Government ‘that educated him and gave | him his standing and reputation?

The Mayor of McKeesport has taken the precaution to have the mill and town policed with a large extra force, but up to the present not the slightest disturbance has taken place.

EL PASO, Tex., April 16.—Andres Gar- cia, one of the wealthiest and most prom- inent young men in Chihuahua, Mexico, ghot and Xilled his young bride in Juarez, opposite El Paso, last night, and then placed the .muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and blew out his brains. The young couple had been married but -four months and were on a visit to friends in Juarez. A dance had been arranged for tneir pleasure, and it was in progress when the tragedy occurred. Garcia was the son of oneé of the wealthiest mining men and property owners in Chihuahua, and his bride was the daughter of M. L. Terrazas, a prominent banker. She was also a niece of General Luis Terrazas, the wealthiest man in the republic, and a cousin of the famous banker, Enrique Creel. Garcia and his bride were being enter- {ained at the Fernandez home. At 10 o'clock they were missed from the parlor, which was filled with friends. Suddenly a noise as if two people were scuffling in the room overhead, followed by a pistol shot, was heard. The next instant an- other shot sounded, and officers running upstairs_found Garcia -and his bride ly- ing on the floor dead. There was evidence that the pretty bride had made a desperate effort to save her life. She had grabbed the muzzle of the pistol with her left hand, which was badly powder-burned, and the thumb was tlown off. - Garcia then knelt down and placing his left arm around his dead wife put the muzzle of the pistol in his and killed himself. The friends of the young couple declare there was no occasion for jealousy on the part of either, and that both appeared supremely happy a few minutes before the crime was committed.

P R PARIS, Apri] 16.—A dispatch from St. Germain, near this city, describes the ex- traordinary case of Julienne Landieu, a servant girl, frcm whose body dozens of needles are being extracted. The girl complained of considerable irritation of the skin, and last Thursday went to a local druggist., who found a number of needles emerging from various parts of her body. He extracted them with pincers. The girl has returned several times a day since, and up to this morning the druggist has drawn out 120 needles from her arms, hands, feet, breast, the, lobe of her ear, her eyellds and the cor- ner of her right eye. The girl exper- iences no pain until she feels the needle plercing the epidermis. The needles always emerge thick end first, and unless immediately extracted, disappear again. Two reputable newspa- pers, The Matin and the Temps, have in- vestigated the matter and vouch for the authenticity of the story. Mlle. Land- rieux says that five years ago, when she was 11 years cld, she amused herself with other children by swallowl quan- tities of needles. She swallowed forty- nige in one day and never felt any incon- venience until recently, and has enjoyed the best of health. "While relating the foregoing to the reporter of the Temps, who saw her at the druggist's, she ex- claimed, “I feel one in my eye now."” The druggist then upturned her right eyelid, and with a magnet drew out four frag- ments of needies. A surgeon of the hospital at La Salpet- riere sald in an interview that the case was quite unprecedented. Needles insert- ed under the skin were known to have been borne through the muscles, but there was no record of a needle intro- ducéd into the stomach emerging from the'lobe of the ear. In such a_case the needle must have traversed the skull, which is incomprehensible. — WHOLESALE ARRESTS GROW OUT OF RUSSIAN TROUBLES Merchants and I‘:dmerl Petition Emperor Nicholas to Grant Constitution.

Extravagant Methods of Living Fol- lowing Payment of Chinese In- demnity Believed to Be Source of Trouble. i WASHINGTON, April 16.—The financial condition of Japan at present is far from encouraging, and the bankers, statesmen and business men are exerting every ef- fort to avert a pending panic. This state- | ment is conveyed to the State Department in a communication from United States Consul Bellows at Yokohama. The situ- ation, as analyzed by the shrewdest finan- clers and statesmen of the empire, show that the Chinese indemnity secured at the close of the Japan-China war, 10- gether with large national loans, led to | the exploiting of many public and private | laboring classes. This induced extrava- | gant methods of living, and is assigned as | a potent factor in the large increase of { imports. The amount of-indemnity paid | by China proved insufficient for the en- | terprises projected, and many millions | | were diverted from the customary chan: | nels of trade to carry forward the under- | takings referred to. | | The Interruption of the Chinese trade | brought a falling off in exports also dur- | ing the past year. In 1500 the relations of | Japan's exports to her imports stood at and_ $24,900,000 | passed out of the country to settle Japan's | | trade balances. Foreign capital, it is | declines to enter the Japanese | market, although tempted by flattering | | rates of interest. Living expenses have increased during the past few years over {75 per cent, which causes the scarcity of money for commercial and industrial pur- | poses to be all the more keenly felt. The Consul General closes his report by | | saying: i | “The closeness of the money market | combined with the dullness of trade and | violent fluctuations of prices, is causing | | much alarm among merchants, manufac- | turers and bankers, and more failures are | imminent.” @ iietiiiininte el @ PROPOSED PARK ON ESTUARY ARM Council Moves Toward Im-| provements Along That .

The cpening of Ninth and Tenth streets to Fallon straet, the completion of the | proposed park along the estuary arm be- | | tween Twelfth and Eighth streets and the reconstruction of Twelfth street dam are public improvements comprehended in a | series of grellmmary moves made last night by the City Council. A resolution was introduced calling up- | on the City Engineer to prepare immedi- ately plans and estimates of the cost of | rebuilding the dam, the condition of which has been not only an eyesore, but a serious_menace to the heavy traffic be- | tween East Oakland and the West Side. | The resolition provides also for the im-| provement of Twelfth street from Oak Street to First avenue. This includes the ! dam and the approaches on each side. | The matter was referred.to the commit- Trade Favors Chile En- ~joys Under It. i | | | ‘WASHINGTON, April 16.—One of the re- [, sults of the failure of the reciprocity | treaties before the last session of Con- | gress has been to draw forth a number | of protests from California against the | trade advantages which Chile now enjoys | in its trade with Nicaragua, as a direct | outcome of just such a treaty. The State | Department has been informed that a | treaty has been drawn between Nica- | rague. and Chile which covers practically ! the same ground as the treaty drawni last year by Mr. Kasson, our special pleni- otertiary, between the United States and | icaragua. This latter treaty, unlike most of the ! othe: reciprocity treaties submitted to the | Senate for action, was never published, | and &till remains under the seal of confl- | dence. ~ But it is known that it covers generally the same ground covered by the treaty between Chile and Nicaragua. It | so happens that the United States has no | trade treaty with Nicaragua of recent | date and under the old treaty there is no | warrant for the preference of a claim by our Government for equal rights with Chile, inasmuch as we have not seen fit to | enter into similar special arrangements | with Nicaragua. ow numerous pro- tests are coming into the department from California, the business men there alleg- | ing that they are suffering severely in ! their trade with Nicaragua, owing to the | favorable rates given to Chilean mer- | chants under the new treaty. ! The State Department, however, does | not see any means of satisfying the com- | lainants, save by again extending to thes| enate fhe opportunity to ratify the trealy already referred o as between the United States and Nicaragua, which will cure the diserimination complained of. SCAFFOLD AVENGES CRUEL MURDER OF POLICE CHIEF Frank Mayer, Burglar and Slayer of Daniel McGrath, Hanged for His Crime. MEADVILLE, Pa., April 16.—Frank Ma- jor, allas Daniel J. Kehoe, was hanged in the County Jail yard at-2:06 o’clock this | afternoon. Death resulted in six minutes | from strangulation. Major's crime was the murder of Chiet of Police Danfel McGrath of Titusville, Pa., on November 11, 1899. He was a mem- ber of a gang that blew open the safe and robbed the Titusville Rallroad ticket of- fice and later went to a house on HBast Spring street, where they intimidated and robbed the inmates. .They were tracked to this place by Chlef McGrath and Po- liceman Sheehy. The gang opened fire at once and Sheehy feil, his own death wound shot and killed one of the burglars. The other two escaped, but Major was captured the next day. The dead burglar was never identified and a Philadelphia_medical school got his body. Major, it is said, comes of a good family residing on Grant avenue, Brook- lyn. The execution to-day was the first in Crawford County in over eighty years. OGDEN SUBSCRIBING FOR A MORMON TABERNACLE OGDEN, Utah, April 16.—The Standard says: A subscription list is being circu- lated here to raise $300,000 for the erec- tion of a Mormen tabernacle in this city. Promoters have the assurance that in event of the success of the undertak- ing, one of the semi-annual conferences of the Mormon church will be held here. This means an addition to_the city's in- come of $250,000. Over $150,000 has al- ready been sunscribed, and the rest has been promised. This move is the result of the feeling engendered between Salt Lake and Ogden, by the recent fake railroad nflmuon started in Salt Lake. Other parties in Ogden are endeavoring to establish an ex- position grounds for an inter-State expo- sition, including Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. Over $10,000 has been raised for { street may be reached by way of Fallon tee of the whole.

SCRANTON, Pa., April 16.—About one hundred switchmen cmployed in the Lack- awanna Railroad yard in this city quit work at noon to-day because two of their number, Michael Herrity and Patrick Toomey, were discharged. Yardmaster B. E. Knowles dismissed the two men and placed two men from Hoboken in their positions. When John Murray refused to instruct the new men he was discharged. Thomas Timlin of the Switchmen’s Broth- erhood “grievance” committee waited on General Superintendent Clark later in the day and asked for a reason for Herrity and Toomey's discharge. He was in formed that their services were unsatis- factory to the company and that their dis- charge did not affect the others. Super- intendent Clark states that the men will not be reinstated and that the question of their membership m the brotherhood did not enter into the case at all. Three hundred switchmen from Scran- ton and vicinity were in session to-night in Carpenters’ Hall until 11 o’clock, dis- cussing the proposition of calling out the switchmen on the whole system from Ho- boken to Buffalo. The officers would not give out anything ihat was dome at the meeting and the members who were ap- proached declared they were sworn to secrecy. B.
