I I'rrrd to Art Calhoun Reports Xo Doubt.
I ll !) That There' War Spain' Peellnc
I, Wahihnoton, Juno 8. Tho President has
I offered the Spanish mission to Gen. Jacob D.
I Cox. cx-Goornorof Ohio, ox-Secretary of tho
I Interior, nnd cx-ltcprcsoiitatlvo In Congress,
Af Ocn. Cox Is In his UUth rear, but is vigorous and
!"' sound In body mid mind. President McKlnley
ha known Ocn. Cox for a long time, and has
followed hlsoirccr with Interest.
Ciin. Cox was barn in Montreal in 1828. Ha
moved to Ohio when 18 fears old, and was grad
ontid from" Oberlln Collogc. Ho entered tho
Vnlon army at tho breaking out of tho war. Ills
, rrcnpl on him tho commission of Major
L Gtneral. Ill lPtiO and 1807 ho was Govornor of
j Ohio, mid in March, IPCS), he becumo Secretary
I otlho Interior in tho Cabinet of President Grant.
) He -crved as htmd of tho Interior Department
until December, 1870, whon a disagreement
with President Grunt resulted in his resignation.
From 1870 to 1870 Gen. Cox was a member of
the House of Representatives. Tho contingency
that lien. Cox may decline, tho offer, on account
of hl advanced years, has been provided for by
tho President. Ho has decided that In the orcnt
of tho ex-Governor's declination he will offer
the place to Gen. Stewart L. Woodford of
Brooklui.
Just how long Mr. McKlnley has had Gen. Cox
and (Jen. Woodford In mind is not known. Tho
sncction of a suitable Minister to Spain, to hold
mi olllce that Mr. McKlnley believes will bo one
of great honor and prominence In tho negotia
tions th.it will ensue concerning Cuba between
the American und Spanish Governments, has
been discussed at several meetings of tho Cabi
net. It cuinc up again to-day, in view of tho
domination of tho mission by President Scth
Low of Columbia College, who had been urged
bj Jio Pnsldent to go to Madrid,
I Mr. Law's declination was positive, much to
I the disapiwintnient of Mr. McKlnley. It is
rV prub.ible that he bad an Intimation of Mr. Low's
intentions, for he was prompt with the sugges
tion of Gen. Cox's name, and, furtbcruiore,
showed that he was qulto as decided on Gen.
Woodford for next choice.
Tho President emphasized at tho Cabinet
meeting his belief that tho Cuban question
should bo considered with deliberation and
caution. Ho has shown all along n disposition
A, to proceed slowly, so that thero would bo no
yj mistakes to regret an tho ground of hasty con
sideration. Everything indicate that he has
not made up his mind definitely as to what
course he will pursue regarding Cuba. If he
has determined on a policy ha has not confided
its details to anybody: at least, that is what
men who stand very closo to him say. One
thing is certain, and can bo so stated with posi
tlvcness on the best of authority, that tho Presi
dent will not act in tho Cuban matter until after
his return from his roundabout trip to and from
the Nashville Exposition.
The oral report of Mr. Calhoun on the situa
tion In the island was made In part at the White
House this afternoon, and it may have brought
the President nearer a conclusion, but it has not
caused any alteration in bis intention to post
pono positive action until tho Nashville trip is
over, when further conferences with Mr. Cal
houn will bo held. The great care the President
is exercising In the selection of a Minister to
Spain indicates his Intention to intrust the set
H tlemcnt of Cuban affairs between this country
and the Madrid Government to the man who
will go to Madrid.
This means an indefinite delay; just how long
so one can tell. Natiino will be lost, howerer,
after the new Minister's appointment baa been
confirmed, in sending him to his post and he will
carry with him instructions for his guidance In
dealing with the Madrid Ministry that will em
body the intentions of President McKlnley con
cerning Cuba. In other words, Mr. McKinley's
Cuban policy will have been fully framed before
the new Minister starts for Madrid, and tho full
measure of the President's views will be com
municated orally, supplementing and amplify
ing the Minister s written instructions from tho
State Department.
The pre it Interest which tho President is tak
ing in Cuba was shown to-day by his anxiety to
biirwi tout delay the statement Mr. Calhoun
tun to t.i ice. Mr. Calhoun went almost immedi
ately i. it the railroad station, where be ar
il rii cj i roni New York in the afternoon, to the
B State Department to see Judge Day, the As-
lls'.int Secretary of State, who has taken chargo
-ft. of everything officially relating to the Cuban
9a situation. He was accompanied by Mr. Fish
fl back, his secretary in the Ruiz investigation.
Jest outside of the State Department thev mot
Julge Day. who was on his way to tho White
House, and they walked over together.
Judge Day. Mr. Calhoun, and Mr. Fishback
were with tho President for two hours and a
half, and when Mr. Calhoun left It was, with
the understanding that ho should call on Mr.
McKlnley to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock for a
further conference. As staled, the rest of Mr.
Calhoun's report must wait until after the Nash
ville trip. The desire of both the President and
Mr. Calhoun to continue their conversation this
yning was barred by a dinner engagement at
vlee-President Hnbart's made by Mr. McKlnley.
Mr. Calhoun will not accompany the President
to Nashville. It was intimated at the White
House List week that ho would be invited to go,
in order that Mr. McKlnley might havo an op
portunity to hoar a full account of hli observa
tions in Havana and his views on the situation.
Jhu Information that Mr. Calhoun will not bo
of the Presidential party on tho South
ern trip is coupled with an Interesting
rumor that the President this ifternoon
took tho Commissioner to tak for talking too
Xroely with newspaper men In New York yester
day and while in Cuba. What Mr. Calhoun told
Mr. McKlnley was pretty well outlined in the
tNew York Interviews. State Department of
ficials wero thunderstruck to-day by his frank
ness In talking to the newspapers, but the dis
satisfaction they expressed mny not be shared
pythe President, who has not boeome enmeshed
lo the red tape of diplomacy, and does not bo
Ilero the public business must be shrouded in
absolute secrecv.
A. ordlng to the State Department view, one
Irnoit inevitnblo result of tho statements made)
by Mr. Calhoun about what bo saw and heard
tatuha will bo a renewal of the pressure on tho
rreali'ent by public men and newspapers to do
foniothlng for the insurgents. This pressure has
been i, ry heavy lately, and Mr. McKlnley has

Mr. Calhoun said ho bad no idea what the
President would do toward recognizing the In
dependence of the Cubans. Ho intimated that
the President had not mado up bis mind.
Mr. Calhoun ssld there was not so much suffer
ing In Cuba as had been roportod in tho press.
It was true, he said, that people owning farms,
who were compelled to desert them and tako
refuge In tho cities, were suffering, but they wore
about the only destitute class.
He said that tho work of the American Con
suls In distributing rollef among Amorlcnns was
progressing rapidly. Ho thought tho 50.000
appropriated by Congress would be sufficient to
rellovo all destitute enses. In speaking of the
treatment accorded him by the Spanish officials
ho said:
" I was shown great consideration, and was
received w 1th tho utmost courtesy by overy one
on tho island. So far as I know thero were no
obstructions placed In my path during tho in
vestigation of Dr. Ruiz's death. I held no com
munication with tho insurgents."
After his talk with the President to-morrow
Mr. Calhoun will havo a further conference with
Secretary Sherman, and In tho afternoon will
seeJudgoDay. He will leave Washington for
bis home, Danville, 111., to-morrow evening.
JtOCKEFEX.I.ERS WILE J'IOZIT.
They Mean to Dave Their Tarrrtown Assess
ment nevlewed hy the CovrU.
TAnnVTOwx. N, Y June 8. On complaint of
John D. and William Rockefoller, Justice Dyke
man of the Supremo Court at Wbito Plains to
day issued a writ of certiorari against Georgo
Slnnott and others, assessors for tho vlllogo of
North Tarrytown. The Rockefellers wero repre
sented by Howard H. Morse.
Tho causoof tho proceeding is tho new law,
which says that all proporty, personal and real,
must be assessed at its full value. John D. and
William Rockefeller do not live In the corporate
limits of North Tarrytown, but do own real
estate Inside of tho line.
' Whon the assessors w ero making up the roll
for 18117 they nssesscd tho Rockefeller real es
tate at full value, according to the law. Tho
Rockefellers declare that their assessment is il
legal, erroneous, and unequal. John D. Rocke
feller's roil estate Is assessed at 2H.770. Wil
liam Rockefeller's Is assessed nt $20,500. Both
protested against their assessments on griev
ance day, but tho assessors refused to lower
them.
Tho papers are returnable June 21. John D.
Rockefeller bought tho Rico Farm, which is
assessed at $54,000. for $35,000. Tho Coutant,
farm Is assessed at $14,000. Mr. Rockefeller
paid f 17,000 for It, but bo says that It Is not nec
essarily worth that much becnuso he paid It.
He wanted trie land and paid liberally for it.
Ho contended that in thiscaso ne has been taxed
unjustly. William Rockefeller owns a swamp
which is assessed at 2.500. He offers to sell It
to the village for $1,500 for a sewer outlet. Tho
Tillage assessors think this Is Just a bait, and
that he would be willing to sell tho swamp at a
loss In order to get his other assessments low
ered. William Rockefeller told a merchant of this
town that neither he nor bis brother had ever
meddled with politics in this village, but that
next spring they would make things lively for
the assessors. The assessors went over the
ground carefully, they say, and think their as
sessment Just. Thoy aro George Slnnott, Owen
Smith, John J. Lowe, O. 13. Mlllspaugn, and

ST. Locis, Mo., Juno 8. Herthel Buty, ono of
the wealthiest farmers of Solo. Texas county.
Mo., visited the Four Courts this morning and
asked the police to aid blm to search for his
wife. Buty was happy until the morning of
May 31. He owns a fertile farm and his domestic
lifo was pleasant. A family of the name of Cole
lives on a farm adjoining the Buty homestead.
Tho heir to the Colo estate is named George and
he is 16 years old.
It rained all night in Texaseounty on May 30,
and Mr. Buty did not awake until late the fol
lowing morning. When he awoke he found he was
alone, and when he went out to his barn ho found
that his prize stallion was gone. The buggy was
there, no harness hod been taken, and not even
a saddle or saddle cloth was missing.
Mr. Buty started on a run to his neighbors,
tho Coles, and they compared notes. Young
Georgo was missing from one home and so was
SltiO to which he Had helped himself from his
father's strong box. Mrs. Buty was missing
from tho other residence und so were her best
clothes. The stallion was gone from the barn,
but thero were otbei horses, and without ttop-
&lng for a mouthful to eat Messrs. Buty and
ole hitched up a team of flyers and started.
The road was soft and they 'truck a trail lead
ing to Cuba, Mo. They came to a farmhouse
after a furious drive of three hours. Thero they
learned that the elopers had passed at daybreak
on a big black horse, without saddle. The boy
wan riding in front, and the woman held tightly
to his waist. Mr. Buty whinped up tho horses.
Ther rode north through Crawford county, and
finally at dusk reached Cuba and found tho stal
lion. The animal hod been ridden almost to
death and was dying.
It was learned that young Cole had purchased
a fleet roadster, and ue and the wayward wife
wero traeiil from illago to village. Finally
Buty and tho penlnr Cole separated, the latter
agreeing to prosecute the search around Texas
anil Crawford counties, while Buty promised to
push on to this city to learn If the fugitives had
reachrd here. Their descriptions wero given,
and now the St. Louis police have Joined in the

Two Women Ho Wronged.
Latimer E. Jones, the forger, who was brought
back from England in March last and pleaded
guilty to one of olghteen Indictments for forgery
found against him in this city In 1888. was sen
tenced to live years and six months' imprison
ment yesterday by Judge Fitzgerald in Part I.,
General Sessions.
Tho devotion of two Injured women to this
famous rogue Is a feature of tho case. His wife,
Blanche Colwell, daughter of the head of the
Colwcll Lead Company, sacrificed 970,000 of her
own money to pay some of his creditors before
he ran away to South America. He stopped
writing to her after a while, snenked bark to
this country, and committed bigamy at Albany
by marr) Ing Mrs. Ellen Andruw thrro In 1802.
Mrs. Andrew was a rich Englishwoman whom
he had met at Buenos Ayres, and he went to
England with her and lived as a country gentle
man until his arrest, ills wife got a dlvorco
when she heard of this marriage.
Since Jonei has been In tho Tombs the two
women have taken turns visiting hlm. The see

Yestcrdav afternoon sho cnlled up the District

" What was tbe sentence I" she asked.
"Five years and six months in State prison."
was the answer,
Then she was heard sobbing nt the other end
of Ihowlra. After the sentence Jones nnld!
" This Is terrible. I did not expect to get more
than a year. I do not care so much for myself,
but tho women have stuck to mo through It all,

Prealdent Qalcc Wonder Where tho Cltlsen
Ciet Their Authority lo Hay That Low
Will Accept ir Xomlnnted Jteit Wech
The Organisation Going to Take Its Time.
Although the enthusiastic politicians o( the
Citizens' Union Executlvo Commltteo an
nounced on Monday night that Mr. Scth Low's
letter to them was equivalent to an acceptance
by him of their nomination for Mayor, and
although R. Fulton Cutting declared yesterday
that Mr. Low has bcon In fact nominated
through his selection by the Executive Commit
tee, there are somo of tho Cits who seem to en
tertain doubts on the subjoct.
In fact, the Executlvo Committee issued an
other typowrltton statement last night, in which
it arguos on the probable moaning of tho letter.
This Is tbo statement:
" The Impression seems general that Mr. Low's
letter amounts virtually to a consent that his
name shall bo considered by tho Citizens' Union
in connection with tho nomination for Mayor.
It is urged that Mr. Low could not bo oxpected
to speak moro doflnltely at this time. To do so
would be practically to accept a nomination
that has not yet been made.
" The declaration of Mr. Low that bo Is heartily
in sympathy with tbo purposes of the Citizens'
Union, and that he would be unwilling to accept
any nomination under any obligations, expressed
or Implied, othor than that of his official oath as
Mayor to mako tho interests of tho city tho fore
most concern in tho discharge of every duty,
are regarded with especial dollght by those
who Insist that the conduct of cltv affairs should
not bo merely an Incident in the manipulation
of national party politics."
Interviews with E. R. L. Gould and the Rev.
John B. Devlns aro appended as samples of tho
expressions of delight.
Republican politicians somehow do not In
terpret the letter of the President of Columbia
as do some of tho enthusiastic Cits. President
Qulgg of tho Republican County Committee,
who is to direct tho Greater Now York cam
paign for tho Republican party, was asked last
evening:
" What will you say concerning Mr. Low's
letter 1"
" It is somewhat difficult to discuss Mr. Low's
letter." said ho, " because ho has said one thing
whllo tho gentlemen to whom It is addressed
aro making him appear to say q uite another.
What ho says is that. if. in tho course
of time, the fact is fairly established that
a union of all the anti-Tammany forces can bo
effected with him as tho candidate, and that
these, forces, with substantial unanimity, de
sire him to be the candidate, he would thon
feel It to be his duty to accept this union
nomination. But the politicians who are
running the Citizens' Union and trying to
compel Mr. Low's nomination have sent out
his letter with explanatory notes, giving
their interpretation of It; and ther say that
what he means Is, not what ho says, but almost
the contrary. They say that he means that they
may go ahead and nominate him now, and. ac
cordingly, they announce their purpose to call
a meeting of their Committee of Organization,
and, within a week. ' take measures to place Mr.
Low In nomination.'
"If this is done without Mr. Low's emphatic
protest it will appear to the public that there
must be a private understanding between him
and his correspondents, not only not revealed in
bis letter, but wholly at variance with its senso
and spirit.
"I am afraid that tho politicians of tho Citi
zens' Union are going to put themselves and
their movement in open hostility to a union
against Tammany. They can't read the news
papers without seeing that their course is reso
lutely condemned by all the elements of tho pop
ulation upon which they would have
to roly for votea. The Republican or
ganization sincerely desires to bring about a
union against Tammany. It has not rejected
the candidacy of any man, and for that reason,
if for no other, there should be no attempt to
force a candidacy down its throat. Mr. Low is
not the only citizen of this great community
who Is competent to be Its chief executive officer,
however competent he may be.
"No nomination ought to bo mado in the
months of Juno or July. Every organization or
individual desiring tho defeat of Tammany Hall
should spend the next two months in nn exami
nation of the situation, permitting public sontl
raent to express Itself freely, and aiming to dis
cover tbe man who can best meet the require
ments of the case.
"Then, when the time comes, we should all
get together, go over the possible candidacies in
a common spirit of fraternity, and deride on
that man who seems. In the light of all the facts.
to be the wisest choice"
"Suppose tho Citizens' Union do have tbelr
assembly In June and do nominate what then I"
"They won't; but if they do thoy will declare
themselves to be the enemies of good govern
mont in Now York, and their movement will go
to pieces under tho weight of public censure.
And, in any event, tbe Republican organization
will go straight ahead and work to achieve a
union which will be successful and deserve Its
success."
In a speech to the Qulgg Club at 343 Amster
dam avenue last night Mr. Qulgg said:
" It may be and it may not be that there is to
day a majority of Republicans in the city of Now
York; but thero Is no uncertainty In the state
ment that there is not a majority of people who
want Tammany Hall In power. What, then. Is
the sensible thing to dul There is but one
answer, and that is for us to get together
and vote for one man whose honesty, intelli
gence, ability, and character will command tho
undivided support of all elements and Insure
complete success. There are some people who
say that wo must have a Republican who repre
sents the organization. I say, as a representa
tive of that organization, that any Republican
who can govern the people of tho city wisely
and Justly Is a representative of tho organiza
tion In every sense of tho word,
"Again it is said that tho nomineo should be
a reformer. I sar that any man who is an ear
nest, sincere advocate of Republican principle
Is a reformer. He couldn't be a Republlcun and
not a reformer. It Is obvious that the thing
which must be done Is to nornlnato a member of
tbe Republican party, because It contains the
vast number of voters upon whose shoulders
must fall tho responsibility of tho Republican
administration.
"Thero will be no difficulty In getting to
gether unless a few skittish people begin to
nominate beforo we arc ready to mako nomina
tions. Those who want to nornlnato now, under
any head or representing uny political organlzv
tlon or enterprise, mako a mistake which will be
fatal to themselves but to no one elso,
"Tho Republican party will pursue a sober, se
rious, and dollberuto course, waiting for tbe
proper tluio to make Us nominations and giving
the people of New York plenty of opportunities
to look arounil them before determining upon a
solection. When tho time conies the Republican
party will make a nomination which, by Its char
acter and popularity, will command tho support
of any organization, enterprise, or Individual de
sirous of tho defeat of Tammany Hall.
"Tho Republican party will nut bo defeated in
its purpose by the folly of any Individual or or
ganization which manifests an Inclination to
act hastily. It will go right on, following a con
servative policy, and It will accomplish a union
of forces and finally, and In good season, will
givo the people of New York a ticket which will
Jnsuro success by deserving success,"
There was a good deal of talk nmong tho Citi
zens' Union bosses yesterday concerning tbe
propriety of naming candidates for Comptroller
anu President of tbo Council, at well as a can
didate for Mayor next week. It was finally
agreed that only tbo Mayoralty candidate would
bu considered, as tbo candidate for first place
should bo consulted regarding his running
mates,
James B. Reynolds, Chairman of the Citizens'
Executive Committee, who started the Low
boom In tbe University Settlement Society, and
undortook last winter to enlist organUod labor
in Mr. Low's interest, was greatly tickled yes
terday over the prospect of tho nomination of his
candidate. Ho said among other things:
" Prusumlng Mr, Low will bo nominated on noxt
Tuesday, a reasonable time will be given to him
in which to accept or decline tho nomination
say ton days or two weeks."
The Purroy Homo Rule Democracy's County
Committee will incot ut Lyric Hull tomorrow
nluht and make a declaration of Its attitude in

0:30 o'clock last night, whon he noticed a light
In tbe front parlor.
The houso la unoccupied save for the fact that
Thomas Kane, a watchman employed by Martin,

tho boll, and tho door was opercd by Kane.
Martin asked him what ho bad tbe light thero
for, nnd w alked into tho parlor, follow cd br tho
watchman.
When he got In thero Martin says Kane
grabbed him by tho throat nnd nnotber tall man
appeared and grasped his nrms, pinning them
behind his back.
He said ho was grabbed so quickly that he
could noither cry out nor do anything to defend
himself. He was thrown to the floor nnd a pil
low thrown over his head. His hands nnd foet
woro then bound nnd Knno nnd tbo other man
searched his pockets.
They robbed him of (1180 In cash. Jewels worth

DR. PARKHURST OUT OF IT.
RETIRES FROK POLITICS AXD IIIS
OTHER SECULAR SPECIALTIES.
Authorized Announcement That HI Career a
ft Pnhlle Jflan Is tended Foreshadowed
by the Letter He Rent ta III Conrrrsa
tlon IVist flunday nail for Kurope To-Day,
The Rev, Dr. Charles II. Parkhurst has retired
from politics. Ho has also retired from the ac
tlvo work of tho Socioty for tho Prevention of
Crimo und of the City Vigilance League.
This announcement was foreshadowed on Sun
day by a message tent to bis congregation. Dr.
Parkhurst tails on tho Germanic to-day for his
annual visit to Europe, and as the precarious
statoot his health forbado his making a fare
well address to bis congregation, he sent a short
letter, which was road by hit assistant, Mr.
Rudd. In It ho said:
It the temporary Impairment of my health Is in a
meavire due to obligations outside of tbe strict limits
of my parish, I want to say that raj entire thought
thU summer will be given to tho re-esttblUbment of
my health, and that upon my return In tbe autumn,
and so long sl sustain my present relation to this
church, my one devotion will be to my pulpit, to tbe
life and work of this church, and to the Interests of
Its families and lndlrtdnal members.
Mr. Rudd was asked Inst evening if thit sen
tonco meant that Dr. Parkhurst intended to re
tiro wholly from public lifo.
" If plain English means anything," Mr. Rudd
said, " It means that you may state, as strongly
as possible, that Dr. Parktturst career as a
public man is ended. Ho intends to devoto him
self entirely from now on to the interests of his
church."
" What reason Is assigned for this determina
tion I " was asked.
"Dr. Parkhurst," said Mr. Rudd, "has made a
magnificent fight, and has won a magnificent
victory. The thanks and tho gratitude of tho
great majority of tho people of this city aro hts.
To carry on this work has required on enor
mous amount of time, wotry, nd anxiety,
which, in addition to regular church work, havo
been a great burden. Ills church people havu
been very generous with him, nnd have given
him overy opportunity to carry nn bts work of re
form, for they have been proud of hlm nnd have
sympathized in his efforts. Ills outsldo work
has kept him away from his church work a good
deal. 1 do not mean to say that ho has neglected
his duties to his church, for he has not; but he
feels that hereafter not only a part, but the
whole, of his time and attention should be de
voted to his church."
"That means, then, that he will take no part
In the coming campaign I"
"Exactly," said Mr. Rudd. "That is tosay,
he will make no such fight as he did in '04.
Whenover bis advice is asked ho will glvo it,
and if ho feels called upon by somo unusual cir
cumstance to speak be may do so. That is tho
duty of every minister of tho Gospel who takes
a proper Interest in public affairs; but whatever
he docs will be a8t minister, not as n public man.
As I said In tho beginning, ho has retired from
politics and all active participation in public
affairs."
" How will this affect his connection with the
City Vigilance League and the Society for tho
Prevention of Crime I"
"What applies to politics applies to those so
cieties and their work." said Mr. Rudd. " Ho
will take no active hand in their proceedings,
although hewlll not loso his interest in them.
" Does that mean that he will so er all official
connection with them I"
" I do not think that this follows or that it is
necessary," said Mr, Itudd. " However, he has
not said anything to mo on this subject, and I
do not know what his Intentions are. but Dr.
Parkhurst, as a public reformer, has ceased to
exist."
Mr. Rudd said that two weeks ago Dr. Park
hurst's physical condition was very serious, but
that ho Is much bettor now.
