CHICAGO'S MAYOR
IS FROM MISSOURI
He Says That Those "Who Want Mu
nicipal Ownership of Railways
Must Show Him.
CHICAGO, April 11. Mayor Harrison
is irritated by the ceaseless clamor
for municipal ownership of street
railways, and he refers to the sev
eral propositions touching this matter
rs "bunk "
"I do not know how we nre going to
get immediate municipal ownership,"
said the Mayor. "I should like to hear
some way suggested. If it were put up
to the people in a 'little ballot test
whether they want the streets well
cleaned, such a proposition would carry
by a big majority, and people would be
raying it was up to me to clean the
streets. But the burden would be with
those putting up the proposition to
show how It can be done.
"I would suggest to those who have
been talking municipal ownership that
they show us the way. Instead of talk
ing generalities, let thorn get down to
concrete facts. How can they compel
the companies to surrender their property?"
HIS FILIPINO WIFE
CONTESTS DIVORCE
Lieut. Burbjuik. Meets With Strenu
ous Objection to His Petition
for Separation.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. April 11.
Mrs. Conception Burbank (nee
Vasquez), the Filipino woman
sued for annulment of an alleged
marriage by First Lieut. Sidney S. Bur
bank, regular army, filed a cross-bill
In the District court that Is a unique
and highly Interesting legal document.
It was prepared by Spanish and Ameri
can lawyers In the Philippines.
The cross-bill contains certified copies
of the application for a marriage license,
the marriage certificate, birth register
ing certificate of a child, it daughter
born to them; copies of correspondence
between the Filipino woman and the
War Department, along with state
ments from Lieutenant Burbank. The
petition says;
"The plaintiff formed the acquain
tance of the defendant, was aslduous in
his attentions to her and after several
months of acquaintance and courtship,
which was honorable and public, se
cured her consent to be married to him.
"The offense which the plaintiff has
given to the reputation of the defendant
by denying his 'marriage is unpardon
able because it reveals either a pre
meditated fraud upon her when she be
came his wife In good faith or a most
false nnd faithless heart, either of
which is too repugnant for the defen
dant to admit that she should ever de
sire to live with the plaintiff again."
The sum of 550 per month in alimony
to support thslr child Is asked for. The
petition mentions the Filipino woman
learning eight months after he left the
Island of the husband's Intended mar
riage to "an unsuspecting and deceived
woman in the United States."
Copies of letters of Lieutenant Bur
bank to the woman, written in Spanish,
were translated and made part of the
cross bill.

Special to Tho Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, April 11. No
toriety, caused by the announce
ment that Miss Ella Gloirsop, age

hundreds of sjiIoh of lamp wicks fol
lowed. thlH article being about the
cheapest possible admission to a queens

When Rev. Edward G. Knight of Em

clined to marry the storekeeper nnd her
clerk, the couple went to the home of a
clergyman who had no such scruples as
had Rev. Mr. Knight, and the ceremony

I
DIVORCED HUSBAND OF
MARIE HAVEMEYER
TO WED.
Perry Tiffany, of Famous
New York Family, Meets
His Fate in Jersey.
Former Marriage Was One of
the Big Society Events of
Eleven Years Ago.
Groom's Present to His Bride Was
Collection of Jewels Valued
at S35O,O00.
Special to The Tribune,
NEW YORK, April 11. Perry Tif
fany, man-about-town and high
roller, of the famous family of
jewelers, is going to marry again.
Mr. Tiffany's mother has announced
the engagement.
Young Tiffany has attained promi
nence in various way?. As the divorced
husband of Miss Marie Havemeycr, one
of the heirs to the sugar trust mil
lions, nnd as the boon companion of
James G. Blaine, Jr., ho has been a
conspicuous figure in New York upper
tendom. Several years ago, with young
Blaine, he wa3 arrested for quarrel
ing with and striking a cabman. This
episode shocked society a bit. At that
time Mr. Tiffany was living with his
v.ire, and all was supposed to be se-
I rene In the household. After tho
"cabby" Incident Tiffany got into dlfli-
; cullies. A year later his wife returned
to her mother, Mrs. Theodore Have
meycr. Obtained Divorce Quietly.
Mrs. Tiffany obtained her decree
quietly and with no resistance from her
husband. After that his creditors
pressed young Tiffany for payment.
His rich wife had deserted him and he
proclaimed himself, a bankrupt. This
seemed tho olid of the gay career of
the "high roller." He to.d out the con
tents of lils apartments, which had been
furnished luxuriously. Then he set
tled down to a domestic life with Ills
widowed mother and sister.
The Tlffauy-Havemeyer wedding. In
1893, wns one of the most Important af
fairs in society, and when both Anton
Soldi and Victor Herbert conducted or
chestras at the wedding society was
led to believe tho marriage was one
worth noticing. Miss Lily Oelrlchs, now
Mrs. Peter D. Martin, was one of the
bridesmaids, and Worthlngton Whltc
hou.su was an usher.
While living with his first wife Tif
fan Is said to have lavished a collec
tion of Jewels upon her appraised at
$350,000. Later he built a country home
in the neighborhood of Westbury and
the conservatories there were of an
order seldom owned by men worth mil
lions. Flowers were his passion, and
his library was slocked with boolcs on
horticulture. Perry Tiffany's brother,
Belmont, married Miss Anna, the
daughter of Sir Roderick Cameron,
Love Match This Time,
This lime he meets his fate In New
ark, N. J., and his engagement to
Miss Olive Thompson Is announced. It
is a far cry from the wealthy and fash
ionable Havemeyers of New York to
tho obscure Thompsons of Newark, yet
Mr. Tiffany's friends say the New Jer
sey girl has enslaved the fickle Perry
more than did the high-bred Miss
Havemeyer. Slie Is described by Tif
fany's friends as a handsome brunette
with languorous eyes. The first Mrs.
Perry Tiffany was a blonde with soft
brown eyes.
Mr. Tiffany's devotion to the Newark
girl dates from last summer, when sud
denly he foreswore the Knickerbocker
club and the gay set wnlch radiates
from that red brick clubhouse. Nor did
ho frequent the Mcadowbrook club of
Long Island, of which he is a member.
Mr. Tiffany devoted himself entirely
to the New Jersey town where Miss
Olive lived. The Thompsons are said
to be well-off, but by no means rich.
One daughter has been married to MaJ.
Carl Hartman of tho United States
signal corps. Tho Hartmans are In
the Philippines.
Friends of Perry Tiffany at the
Knickerbocker club Insist this Is purely
a Jove match and the Newark girl Is
not In the least dazzled by tho social
prominence she might have for the asking.

"That's all thcro is to it. Purity salt

Many Mllilona of Silver Coin
on Tap to Taka Thnlr
Places.
Proposition Is to Withdraw All the
Pragmentary Currency and Issue
Silvor in Its Place.
WASHINGTON. April 11. A re
port from the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency
recommending the passage of the
bill "to Improve currency conditions"
was filed in the House today by Chair
man Fowler. The first section of the
bill repeals the law which prohibits
customs receipts from being deposited
in National banks.
The result of tho present law in this
matter, the report says, is unneces
sarily to tie up the money of the coun
try. The report says that If States
and municipalities should lock up the
proceeds of local taxation as the Na
tional Government locks up Its receipts
the effect would be disastrous, and yet
there Is as much reason for such a
course in the one case as In the other.
The second section repeals tho
monthly three million dollar limit on
bank note retirement- The report says
the repeal of this restriction will give
to the National bank nolo circulation
nil of the elasticity which It is possi
ble for a bond-secured circulation to
have.
Recoinage of Dollars.
The recoinage of sliver dollars into
subsidiary silver coins is provided in
the third section of the bill. The limit
of $100,000,000 as the total amount of
subsidiary silver coins that can be in
existence at any one time Is repealed
by this section.
The report says that on July 1st next
the bullion from which the subsidiary
coins may be made will be exhausted.
There Is In the treasury 57S.012.093
silver dollars, or, says the report, ac
cording to Secretary Shaw, 500 carloads
of thirty tons each. It would cost $100,
000 to recount this money, and the Sec
retary says that It Is worth In bullion
less than hulf of Its face value In dol
lars. It Is this money that tho bill
proposes to recoln into subsidiary sil
ver as rapidly an the Secretary shall
order. In this recoinage there Is esti
mated a profit to the Government of
7 cents on each dollar.
Relief to the Treasury department in
Its Inability to meet the demand for
small bills, owing to the manner In
which the present law limits their is
suance, is sought to be remedied by the
removal of these limitations. On this
point the report says.
Cause of Small Bill Shortage.
"It Is 'probably true that the Inabil
ity of the treasury to meet the demand
for small bills, combined with the
shortage in subsidiary' coin in recent
years, has compelled the retention of
small bills In circulation until much of
that form of money has become ragged
and filthy and has produced conditions
whic hhave fully Justified the vigor
ous crusade for 'clean money' which
has recently been inaugurated. It Is
believed, however, that, with the large,
discretion given to the treasury and
the National banks under the provisions
of this bill, supplemented by an abun
dant supply of subsidiary coin, much of
the cause for complaint will bo re
moved. "An Ideal sanitary currency, how
ever, can only be secured by the sub
stitution of subsidiary coins for all fl
and 'l bills and Improved methods of
redemption for paper money of denom
inations of Jo and upward."

NEW YORK, April 11. Republicans H
do not believe that Grover Cleve- H
land's indorsement of Judge Alton jf
Brooks Parker will prove other
than an embarrassment to David Ben
nett Hill's candidate. They say that It
clearly demonstrates that Wall street HH
and the trust influences arc at work H
for Parker, and that this means the H
opposition of the great mass of the- ll
Democratic H
However true this may be. It has not jH
dampened the ardor of the Parker ad jf
hcrents. They aro enthusiastic over the lf
glowing prospects cf their candidate arrl B
are circulating, with more or less of
"ghoulish glee," a telegraphic message jJ
attributed to William Randolph Hearst, H
which takes that energetic young man
of the
The telegram is said to have been d(-
rected to Andrew M. Lawrence, tin jJ
personal representative of Mr. Hearst H
at Chicago, and reads as follows: H
"Let the damned Hooslcrs-go. Kan- jH
sas ho good. Wc had' better stick to IH
Journalism. Close up everything at ll
once. Get to work on newspaper. H
"W. R. HEARST." H
Given Out by Mistake. ,
The telegram to Lawrence was first f IH
received by J. Oscar Henderson of In- i H
dlannpolls, manager for Indiana, and H
he unintentionally gave the full text lo f IH
an outsider, believing he was telephon- H
lng the message back to the Western Jf
Union for verification. H
Lawrence now says the message was H
a cipher and does not mean what jH
seems to. He says Hearst will start a IH
newspaper in Indianapolis In a month tH
to make a fight on National Commit- H
teeman Tom Taggart and the State IH
Democratic organ supporting Parker. IH
The Hearst people In Chicago are IH
furious over the report that Hearst has H
given up In the race fot the Democrat- lB
lc nomination for the Presidency. They IH
are denying It In letters a foot high. B
It was apparent that Mr. Cleveland's HBVH
declaration and indorsement of Judg.' HBVH
Parker, despite what many Democrats HBVH
think of Mr. Cleveland personally, he HBVH
had a beneficial effect on the Parker HHBV
boom. Senator Gorman and his friends HBS
arc accepting the onward sweep of the HBVH
Parker sentiment with resignation; Just HHBV
swimming along with the tide, but HBVH
watching and waiting for an opening HBSH
to bring Gormnn to the front. There IHBVJ
was much gossip today of the cnor- jHBVJ

would furnish for Parker's campaign. I jHBVJ

Parallels Cleveland's Record. I mM
The friends of Parker think they see HAVJ
a resemblance between his position at IHBV
the present time and that occupied by BBS
Gov. Grover Cleveland twenty years '-'"BBBJ
ago. Mr. Cleveland was at that time BBB
unknown to the National Democracy; BBB
It was. indeed, reported that he had BBB
never been In Washington. Even in BBJ
the Stato of New York he had been BBJ
very little known before 1SS2, outside j; BBJ
of Erie county, In which he had been BBJ
successively Sheriff and Mayor of Buf- BB
BBh
What suddenly gave him distinction BBa
was tho victory gained by him in 1.V! j BBa
over Judge Folger by a phenomenal o BBfl
majority. But for that majority, he BBb
would never have been considered a BBa
candidate for the Presidency in ISSt. It . BBJ
Is also true that, although Sanford E. ! BBl
Church, a former Chief Judge of tho ( BBb
Court of Appeals, played a great part IBBJ
in New York politics, and was often BBa
talked of for the Governorship, and ; BBb
even for the Presidency, It is improb- vBBI
able thai Judge Parker would have BBBJ
been mentioned for either office but for JBB
the fact that in 1S97 the year after ' BBB
McKInley carried New York by a p'u- J 1 JB
rallty of 265,000 he was i-hosen Chie ' H
Justice by a plurality of nearly fil.OOO. ( , BJ
Desire a Solid Delegation. iBH
Judge Parker s friends go on to ar- BH
gue that, if undivided support had tBH
been given to Mr. Cleveland by the New JBB
York delegation to the Democratic Na- BH
tlonul convention in 1S84. he would have BB
been received with more enthusiaarn i BB
throughout the nation, and would not I BH
have come within a hair's breadth of i BB
losing the State of New York In th 1 BB
ensuing' November. They want, If pos- BB
slblo, to save Chief Judge Parker from 7HHJ
tho pitfall which f-o nearly proved fatal TflVl
to Gov. Cleveland, by allaying the op- flBJ
position of Charles F. Murphy, th BBH
leader of Tammany Hall, and thus se- BBB
curing a unanimous delegation to St. BHH
Louis. There is no doubt that if this HHHI
plan can be carried out, Judge Parker' a . tjBBBJ
chance of receiving the nomination for UHBHI
the Presidency will be materially im- BrHHHB
proved. HTflBBBJ
With this end In view, it is pointed r BBBJ
out that Mr. Cleveland's declaration for f BHBH
Judge Parker may give Charles F. If -AHBBJ
Murphy and his Tammany cohorts a j - BHBBJ
good opportunity to get Into the Par- "HHHHHI
