ANNEXATION Of CUBA
Mr. Elkins Addressed the
Senate on the Subject.
MR.HANNA TAKES ISSUE
HOUSE CAUCUS WITH SENATE ON
BUFFALO EXPOSITION.
Refuses to Concur on Charleston Ap
propriation?Bill Passed to In
crease Schley's Pay.
Y.'hen the Senate convened today Mr. Gal
linger (N. H.). chairman of the committee
on pensions, made a brief statement of the
work d.>ne by the pensions committee dur
ing the present session. It showed that the
bills relating to pensions introduced in the
House aggregated 7.."?1S. while the aggre
gate number Introduced in the Senate was
The total number passed by both the
House and the Senate was 1.151.
A resolution offered by Mr. Morgan call
ing upon the Secretary of State for a state
ment of the expenditures of the isthmian
canal commission was adopted.
The Senate insisted on its amendments to
the nav.il appropriation bill, and the fol
lowing conferees were named: Messrs.
Hale. Perkins and Tillman.
Hills wi re passed as follows: To prohibit
the killing or taking of seals, porpoises,
whales or marine animals or fish of any
kind in the waters of the I'nited States by
means of explosive materials; to extend the
time f ir th- eonstruction of a bridge across
Corpus ChrtStl channel. Texas, by the Ar
ansas Harbor Terminal Railway Company;
to authorize the director of the census to
compile statistics relating to irrigation; re
lating to the transi>ortation of dutiable
merchandise at subports of Tacoma and
Seattle, Wash.
Mr. Klkins (\V. Va.) then addressed the
Senate in support of his resolution provid
ing for the annexation by the United States
of the Island of Cuba.
Annexation of Cuba.
Mr. Ki!:ins said that his resolution had
been misunderstood. It had no bearing
upon Cuban reciprocity and was not intend
ed to have any. It simply voiced In con
crete form his judgment that Cuba ought
to be annexed to the United States, and the
sooner the better for both countries. The
resolution did not suggest annexation of
Cuba in an offensive way. It provided that
the Cubans must take the initiative, and
only after they had asked for annexation
Could the United States act.
For n- arly a century, he said, the annex
ation of Cuba to the United States had
been the ambition of American statesman
ship. He pointed out that many distin
guished and patriotic American statesmen,
from Jefferson to McKinley, had favored
annexation, and he thought the present
was an opportune time "to carry into effect
the well-defined wishes of a majority of the
pe?*ple of Cuba and the United States in
regard to annexation. It is in the interest
of both countries. The environments of
Cuba, with the trials and difficulties that
beset her on the threshold of. her national
life, stand In the way of her being long an
independent nation; while as a state in the
American Union her people would be pros
perous and progressive; and enjoy the lib
erty and all the blessings that would flow
from being part of the best, greatest and
freest government in the world.
"Tree trade amongst the states has never
lowered the price of labor or worked in
Judy to American interests. Wherever our
flag floats the price of labor advances.
'?But for the war with Spain, although
so successful and glorious, Cuba would now
be a part of the United States.
"Even with tty- war. had it not been for
our declaration that the war was not waged
f >r comju- st or aggrandiz. ment, known as
the T?-!lrr amendment. Cuba would today
be a part of the United States, just as
Porto R!co and the Philippines are. This
amendment has proved both mischievous
? anil unwise.
"When (Alba shall become a pirt of the
American Union and the isthmian canal
shall b - completed, which is now assured,
Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawaii and the Philip
pines wilt b? the outposts of the great re
public. standing guard over American in
terests in the track of the world's com
merce in its triumphant march around the
globe.
"There is a tendency in all human affairs
in government trade and commerce to con
centration and combination. Meteors go
to the sUn; small nations ar? becoming
parts ,>f gr.-at nations, and Cuba in her
present environment, situated as sho Is,
cannot b- expected to resist this tendency.
The effect of The Piatt amendments will
be to help bring about annexation. A na
tion cannot long remain half free and half
dependent; such a condition embarrasses
healthy progress in national life and leaves
but little room for the exercise of the
genius and intelligence of a people in af
fairs of g 'vernment. especially when under
such restrictions as these amendments im
pose.
"There was long discussion and fierce op
position to the annexation of Texas?much
more. I think, than there will be to the
annexation of Cuba?but it came at last as
surely as the annexation of Cuba will come,
a here is not a loyal and true American to
bei found within the confines of the republic
who w >uld give up Texas, and within a few
years after Cuba becomes a state in our
union not an American will be found will
ing ti> part with the island."
Mr. Klkins. in closing, said too much had
tieen said about what we owed to Cuba and
how much depended u;>on our relations
"Witn th? island. He artdtrd: "Our able See
retary of War. who conquers with his cold
and frosty intellect, and never had a hot
thought, never was swayed by passion in
..:s life, deliberately wrote down these
words in his report: 'The peace of Cuba is
necessary to the peace of the United
states.'
"Now. who on earth believes that?" He
continued to ridicule the idea, which, he
said, permeated the statements in the Sen
ate. saying :hat it was "extravagant talk
nnd 1: was everywhere. It is ail through
the country. It is an epidemic."
Bepudiates Mr. Elkins' Bemarks.
Mr. Piatt (Conn.), while ha disclaimed
any intention of replying In extenso to Mr.
Elkins, expressed the fear that the intro
duction of the resolution and Mr. Elkins'
speech might be misunderstood and re
sented in Cuba. He feared the Cubans
might not understand that Mr. Elkins, in
bis resolution and in his remarks, repre
fsented only his personal opinion. He was
satisfied that Mr. Elkins did not represent
upon the subject any considerable portion
of the people o>f the United States. He be
lieved the people of Cuba would have a
J/S"' charge the United States with bad
faith if the I nited States now should insti
tute a propaganda for the annexation of
the island.
''lt would be most unfortunate," said he.
If that feeling should prevail in Cuba, and
therefore I wish to say that the resolution
and remarks of the senator from West
v irginia do not represent the sentiments of
the people of the United States."
Mr. Hanna Takes Sharp Issue.
Mr. Hanna (Ohio) took sharp issue with
Ht. Elkins for his assertion that Presi
dents from Jefferson to McKinley liud
favored Cuban annexation. Whatever had
been the inducements and arguments in
?a\ or of annexation. It never was accoxn
rlished. That fact was a sufficient indlca
lon of the sentiments of the American
people on the subject.
Mr. Hanna said that when President Mc
Kinley met the commissioners from Cuoa
he did not advocate annexation
"What he did say," said Mr. Hanna,
"was that he would do everything In his
power to place them fn such a relationship
to this country as would prove of ad
vantage to them."
Referring to reciprocity with Cuba, Mr.
Hanna declared he did not think the ques
tion had been decided. Whether we owed
anything to Cuba or not we certainly owed
something to ourselves.
"I want to see this country and the Con
gress stand on squarely the plane which
has placed us under moral obligations to
Cuba."
Ms suggested, significantly, that soon an
opportunity would be offered to know
whether the policy of McKlnley and Roose
velt was to be upheld in this country.
"My opinion Is." said he. "that we shall
hear from the people in no unmistakable
terms. It is the policy of the administra
tlon today, as it would have been of Mc
Klnley, had he lived, to treat the country
of Cuba as a ward."
Mr. Hanna thought the United States
ought to be sensible of Its obligation to Che
civilized world, if not to Cuba alone.
"To talk of annexation at this time is not
fair to Cuba, just starting upon its national
existence, and even before she has had
time to prove what she can do."
The cffect of such suggestions would be
to discourage the Cubans. It was too sa
cred a matter, he believed, to be considered
from the standpoint of commercialism. He
protested against consideration of annexa
tion "at a time like this."
Denies That There is Any Obligation.
Mr. Elkins declared he could finil no ob
ligation which the United States owed
Cuba, and he challenged Mr. Hanna and
Mr. Piatt to indicate such an obligation.
The Resolution Referred.
"We do stand indebted to Cuba," inter
jected Mr. Bailey (Tex.), "at least to the
extent of the money expended by Gen.
Wood for the advancement of the Cuban
reciprocity propaganda and to influence
'leaders of thought' in this country."
Mr. Bacon (Ga.) Inquired of Mr. Elkins
what his opinion was of Gen. Wood's pay
ment of money to Mr. Thurber.
"Situated as he was." replied Mr. Elkins,
"I might have felt Justified to spend the
money."
"I don't believe," interrupted Mr. Bailey,
"that the senator from West Virginia
would have expended the money. It is im
possible to find words strong enough to con
demn a man who would take money even
of his own government for such a purpose."
"If," suggested Mr. Spooner (Wis.), "the
senator desires to do any business he would
better let go of this subject."
"I know there is dynamite in it." replied
Mr. Bailey, smiling, "and so I will let it
go."
The resolution of Mr. Elkins was referred
to the committee on Cuban affairs.
To Increase Schley's Pay.
The following bills were passed, among
others: To pay to Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley, retired, the pay and allow
ances of rear admiral on the active list; to
enlarge the list of electric conduits in the
District of Columbia; to regulate the sale
of viruses, serums, toxins and analogous
products in the District of Columbia, and
to regulate interstate traffic therein; appro
priating $10,000 for the erection of a statue
of Commodore John D. Sloat in the city of
Monterey, Cal.; for the allowance of cer
tain war claims reported by the accounting
officers of the United States Treasury De
partment; authorizing the adjustment of
the rights of settlers on the Navajo Indian
reservation, Arizona.
For Survey of Darien Route.
Mr. Scott (W. Va.) requested considera
tion of his joint resolution providing for a
survey of the Isthmus of Darien for canal
purposes. He said the survey would cost
the government nothing, and would not de
lay the construction of the Isthmian canal.
"Who pays the expenses?" inquired Mr.
Berry (Ark.).
"That is not germane to the question,"
replied Mr. Scott.
"What has the government got to do with
it?" insisted Mr. Berry.
I "Simply to make It an official act," Mr.
i Scott replied. "If a better route than the
? two suggested can be found we would bet
' ter know it before we spend hundreds of
| thousands and millions of dollars on some
I other route."
I The resolution was referred to the com
mittee on interoceanic canals.
At 2:2<> p.m. the Senate went into execu
[ tive session.
THE HOUSE.
The House met at 11 o'clock today. Mr.
Payne (N.Y.). the majority leader, asked
unanimous consent that the Hepburn rule
requiring the printing of conference re
ports in the Record before consideration
should be suspended for the remainder of
the session. To this Mr. Richardson, the
minority leader, objected.
Mr. Cannon (111.), chairman of the ap
, proprlations committee, called up the con
| ference report on the general deficiency ap
i propriation bill. The report left in dispute
: items aggregating $1.905,000, including tho
| appropriations for the Buffalo and Charles
I tun expositions and Jl.WJO.Ooo for the pay
| n;ent of Hawaiian claims. The report was
j adopted. ?'?
Mr. Cannon moved that the House fur
! ther insist and ask for a further confer
| ence.
Mr. Alexander (N. T.) asked for a sepa
I rate vote on the appropriation of $.">00,000
j for the Buffalo exposition; Mr. Finley <S.C.),
for one on the appropriation of $100,000 for
the Charleston exposition; Mr. Burton
(Ohio), upon the appropriation of $25,oi)0
for the improvement of the Ohio river from
Cairo to Mound City, and Mr. Cannon him
self, upon the appropriation of $l,0u0,000
for the payment of Hawaiian claims.
Mr. Alexander's Plea.
Mr. Alexander made a "Strong plea in fa
vor of concurrence in the Senate Buffalo
exposition amendment. He declared that
the success of the exposition was assured,
when the assassination of President Mc
Klnley occurred. In previous expositions,
he said, the receipts In September in
creased over those of August 55 per cent.
At Buffalo the receipts decreased 7 per
cent after the assassination.
Messrs. Tawney (Minn.), chairman of the
committee on expositions; Mr. Foster (111 ),
Mr. Morris (Minn.), Mr. McClellan (N. Y )
Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) and Mr. Grosvenor
(Ohio) supported Mr Alexander's motion,
and Mr. Grosvenor said he waived every
technical and legal objection to the appro
priation. Coming from Ohio, he bowed his
head to the argument of Mr. Alexander.
In opposition to the motion Mr. Hemen
way (Ind.) said if he believed the assassi
nation of President McKlnley had caused
the deficit at Buffalo he would Vote for it.
But he inslst.d that the figures showed
that the exposition was not satisfactory to
the American people. That was the reason
why the exposition was not a success.
Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) opposed the motion, say
ing that in all his legislative experience he
had never known a more preposterous prop
osition.
Mr. Cannon's Opposition.
After some further remarks by Mr. Rich
ardson (Ala.), Mr. BartleU (Ga.), Mr. Barney
(Wis.), Mr. Sn.idgrass (Tenn.), Mr. Slayden
(Tex.) and Mr. Hepburn (Iowa), Mr. Can
non (111.) concluded the debate on Mr. Al
exander's motion, with a strong spccch In
opposition to it.
The plea for this appropriation on the
ground that McKinley's death made the ex
position a failure, he declared, was a pre
tense. "If Congress is to underwrite these
national expositions," said he, "It will be
&?ked to underwrite state fairs and county
fairs, and gradually we will reach the point
Where the Urtfted States will run a wild
west show." (Laughter.)
The vote was then taken.
Motion to Caucus Carried.
Mr. Alexander's motion to concur In the
Buffalo exposition amendment was carried*
118 to 101.
Mr. Finley (S. C.) then entered his motion
to concur In the Charleston exposition
amendment.
"If the members will give me an aye and
r.ay vote," said Mr. Cannon, "I am willing
to vote now. I want to see whether the
New York members will keep faith with
their South Carolina friends."
"I desire a few minutes," said Mr. Finley.
"My people are greatly interested In this
matter."
"Debate Is unnecessary," observed Mr.
Cannon, "if you have made your deal."
(laughter.)
Mr. Finley made an earnest argument in
support of his motion. When the people of
South Carolina Inaugurated the movement
for an exposition, he said, they believed
Charleston would be treated by Congress
as other exposition cities had been. They
were entitled to 1250.000. They obtained
only $'.*0,000. The appropriation of $160,000
in the Senate amendment would give them
what they should have had originally.
Mr. Cannon spoke sarcastically of the
"cohesive force of public plunder." He had
?ved to see the day when the state of Johii
C. Calhoun, the champion of state's rights,
came In here an<J struck hands with New
York to get through the New York appro
priation. '
"I changed f?^- vote on the last vote,"
said he, "for the purpose of moving to re
consider in order that If the New York
people failed to keep faith with their South
Carolina allies the latter could revoke their
vote?. But the gentleman from New York
(Mr. Alexander) was too shrewd for me. I
was overruled. I am against this appro
priation at I was against the other."
The vote thep was taken.
?gainst Charleston Exposition.
Mr. Ftnley'? motion to concur In the
Charleston amendment was lost, 71 to 113.
TO MAKE GREEN TEA.
Process "Without the "Use of Chemi
cals.
One of the most notable discoveries of
recent years is this, which has just re
warded the efforts of the Department of
Agriculture. It is a process of making
green tea without the use of chemical#;
When the leaf is dried in the ordinary way
the oxygen of the atmosphere unites with
a natural ferment in the leaf and turns it
black. To preserve the Color of the leaf
and make a green tea two deadly poisons
are usually employed. The new discovery
is that by heating the leaves to a high tem
perature the ferment Is killed, oxygenation
prevented and the green color of the leaf
is retained. Secretary Wilson shows some
samples of beautiful green tea grown in
South Carolina and made by the new proc
ess. As the problem of making green tea
without the use of chemicals has puzz'ed
scientists and tea growers for years Mr.
Wilson is highly satisfied with the success
of his experiments.
With the labor of the little negroes, the
cheapest labor in the world, tea is a very
profitable crop In South Carolina.
TO THY THE BOLO.
Gen. Crozier Orders Fifty Baynoets of
a New Design.
General Crozier, chief of ordnance, has
marked his induction in office by ordering
fifty bolo bayonets for test, with a view to
their adoption for service in connection
with the army rifle. The Philippine cam
paign has led to the belief that the bolo is
the best weapon for hand-to-hand fighting,
with the exemption of the revolver. The long,
slender-pointed bayonet, which came Into
use during the civil war, has been found
wanting in many respects, and it loses its
temper easily. It was succeeded by the
knife bayonet, and now the two-edged,
razor-sharp bolo is to be tried.
TO BE TAKEN FROM THE VAULT.
Removal of Lord Pauncefote's Remains
to Annapolis Tomorrow.
The remains of Lord Pauncefote, the late
British ambassador, will be removed from
the vault at Rock Creek cemetery tomor
row afternoon and taken to Annapolis, Md.,
where they will be placed on board the
Brooklyn, flagship of Rear Admiral Cogh
lan, and transported to England for inter
ment near the family homestead at Pres
ton. There will be no ceremonies in this
city attending the removal, and the only
attendants of the remains to Annapolis will
be Mr. Itaikes, the British charge, and the
other members of the embassy staff, and
Lieut. Commander A. P. Niblack of the
navy, representing the United States gov
ernment. The funeral party will make the
trip to Annapolis over the Baltimore and
Ohio road, and will reach there about 4
o'clock. There it will be met by an escort
consisting of two companies of marines
from the Naval Academy and one company
of marines and two companies of bluejack
ets from the Brooklyn, headed by the ship's
band and commanded by Commander Thos.
B. Howard, U. S. N. The Brooklyn will
weigh anchor at Sunset and proceed dlrsct
to Southampton.
TEMPORARY CLERICAL AID.
Act of April 28, 1902, Takes Away
Authority for Appointment.
The Secretary of War recently asked the
controller of the treasury- for a decision
regarding the temporary employment of
fifteen typewriter operators, with the object
of preparing for the Information of Con
gress a statement in detail of the revenues
and expenditures of the military govern
ment of Cuba during the occupancy of that
island by the military forces of the United
States. The Secretary desired a decision
whether under the provisions of section 3
of the act approved April 28, 11)02 (public
No. S3), the compensation of these employes
to Jun j 30, l'.KKJ, may be paid from the ap
propriation for temporary Employes, War
Department, for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1U02 (31 Stat., 0S9).
The controller says: "I assume that the
persons named by you were employed since
the passage of the act of April 2S, 1902, and
were appointed without reference to the
laws and regulations governing appoint
ment to the classified civil "service, as was
originally authorized under the terms of
the appropriation."
After reviewing the legislation on the
subject he continues: "I am of the opinion
that since the passage of the act of April
23, 11102, you have been without authority
to make any appointments under the ap
prlatlons, except as prescribed in the civil
service act of January 16, 1883 (22 Stat.,
403), and the rules and regulations made in
conformity thereto, and hence that any
payment to persons not so employed would
be without authority of law."
THERE WAS NO BRIBERY.
Report on Charges Regarding Negotia
tions for Danish West Indies.
Representative Richardson of Tennessee
and his democratic associates on the special
committee which Investigated charges of
bribery, etc., in connection with the Danish
West Indies purchase have decided not to
make a minority report, and the report of
the committee will be unanimous that there
was no bribery. The committee will pass
on the report and give It out today.

RELEASED ON PEBSONAL BONDS.
Myron Leffingwell Accused by His
Wife of Making Threats.
Myron L. Leffingwell, an actor and play
wright, appeared as a defendant before Judge
Kimbaai in the United States branch of the
Police Court this morning on a charge of
threatening his wife, Effie IX Leffingwell, an
actress. After hearing the facts the court
released the defendant on his personal
bonds. Mr. and Mrs. leffingwell reside on
Sumner avenue, Anacostia, and yesterday
the latter wen-t to the substation and com
plained to Sergeant Anderaon that her hus
band made threats toward her. LeffingweH
appeared at the station later in the day
and had a talk with the sergeant, and as
an outcome of the conversation Sergeant
Anderson decided to hold him on a charge 01
threats and required him to deposit $100
collateral for his appearance in the Police
Court this morning. ,, , ?
Mrs. Leffingwt-ll recited to Judge Kimball
this morning that she was afraid her hus
band would do her bodily harm, and that
yesterday he made a thread of what he in
tended to do, arid as she was afraid lie
might put the threat into execution she ap
pealed to the police. She said her husband
was apparently not in his right mind, and
that Saturday night he brought a sledge
hammer and a piece of railroad iron hime
with him and put them under the bed before
retiring for the night. Mr. Lefllngwell a.ct
ed as his own lawyer and questioned his
wife. ?"I
The defend&pt tbok the stand and in a
nervous way declared that he had no in
tention of harming his wife, and that such
a thought had never entered his mind. He
said he had ?h engagement at one of the
local theaters during last week, and that
when he went home Saturday night ho bor
rowed the sledge hammer to take home
with him foK'the jJnrpose of breaking up
oyster shells to- be used in building a path
way in front . of his house.
"What about taking the sledge hammer
to bed with you?" the court asked.
"That's right, your honor, but I only had
It under the bed." he replied, "and." he
continued, "L did not take the hammer to
my room with the Intention of harming
my wife with it."
"What use #ld ydtj intend to put it to?"
his honor inquired. <
"You see, we liv"e in an isolated section of
the city and, and I took the hammer to
my room with the intention of using it on
burglars if thpy entered our house," the de
fendant explained.
After her husband had made his state
ment to the court Mrs. Leffingwell again
declared that she was afraid of her hus
band, and said that she did not think his
mind was right, and wanted the court to
require him to keep away from her.
Judge Kimball decided that the case had
been made out. but was of the opinion that
the defendant had no Intention of harming
his wife, and acted accordingly.

MACHINISTS STRIKE ON U. P. R.R.
Order Went Into Effect in Omaha This
Morning.
OMAHA, Neb., June 30.?The order au
thorizing a strike of all the machinists on
the Union Pacific system went into effect
at 10 this morning. There were few men
left to walk out in Omaha and Council
Bluffs, however, the machine shops having
been closed down Friday night. Nobody
but the machinists knew what hour the
walkout would occur, and railroad officials
were kept in suspense until the men should
stop work. No reports were received from
outside shops up to noon, but it is under
stood that the order issued from the execu
tive committee of the International Ma
chinists' Union merely authorized the
strike, and that a vote will be taken by
local unions before the actual walkout oc
curs. In Omaha this preliminary step had
been taken.
There will he about 1.700 men affected by
the strike. This includes molders and boil
ermakers who have already struck, those
who were locked out, and those who are
expected to obey the strike order of the
machinists' executive committee.
Vice President Wilson of the Machinists'
Union is in the city and Grand President
James O'Conr.ell is expected In a day or
two. Chairmen of the boards of adjustment
of the different branch?s of the trainmen
were in the city today, but declare their
presence here has nothing to do with the
strike. A large meeting of the machinists
was in progress during the day at the labor
temple behind closed doors.

PRESS DISPATCHES CONFIRMED.
Blockade Established by the Venezue
lan Government.
The State Department received a cable
gram today from United States Minister
Bowen at Caracas confirming the press dis
patches in regard to the blockade establish
ed by the Venezuelan government at a
number of points.
The officials declined to make the text of
Mr. Bowen's dispatch public, but It is un
derstood that It Indicates that an Important
battle and one that will probably decide
the fate of the Castro administration is
Imminent. Mr. Bowen did not request any
additional protection from this government
In the shape of either warships or marines.
Acting Socretary of State Hill spent the
greater part of this morning In consultation
witih the President regarding the rival as
phalt claims In Vencsuela. As a result It
may be stated that the President has de
cided to protect the present occupants of
the asphalt property?the National Asphalt
Company?from dispcwsessrtnn until the de
cision of the supreme court of Venezuela
has been rendered and reviewed by the
United States.
This matter was brought to a head by an
appeal from the Warner-Qulnlan asphalt
syndicate, asking for the restoration of the
rights which they claim In the asphalt lake
region, but this government has decided, as
already stated, to await the decision of the
highest court of Venezuela and its rev'.ewal
by the United States before any further
action is taken.

Fort Slyer, Va.. will commit further acts of
violence upon the saloons of Rosslyn has
been dispelled, a mounted guard, under
Lieutenant Martin, from the post, are on

be ready to submit to the proper authori
ties by this evening. Colonel Huggins
stated this morning that he wuuld not be at
liberty to divulge the findings of the court
and that the record of the proceedings
would be forwarded to Major General John
R. Brooke, commanding the department of
the east, with headquarters at New York,
who has personal jurisdiction over Fort
Myer. j
The civil authorities of Alexandria
county are still hard at work on the affair,
and intimate that a number of other ar
rests would be made this evening or to
morrow. James A. Geary, the owner of the
Rosslyn saloon which, it is alleged, was
wrecked by the artillerymen on Wednesday
night, was arrested Saturday afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Harry T. Palmer and Spe
cial Officer Howard A. Smoot on a warrant
sworn out against him by Privates Sullivan
and Slavin of the 4th Battery, Field Artil
lery. They assert that Geary fired several
shots at a group of about five soldiers who
were walking In the road near Rosslyn. a
few minutes before Private Harry C. Pan
coast was shot Tuesday niKht. Geary was
taken before Justice of the Peace K. F.
Thomson late Saturday afternoon, who held
the accused in bond to the sum of $1,000 to
appear before the special grand jury called
by Judge J. M. Love f ir !* o'clock tomor
row morning. Geary furnished security and
was released.
So far the authorities have arrested four
men in connection with the disturbances.
They are Edwin J. Marcey, charge^ with
assaulting Private McManus; Toney Sim- j
inons, accused of shooting Private Pancoast
and assaulting Private Owens; William
Nurse, charged with being a party to the
shooting of Private Pancoast, and James A.
Geary, who, as stated above, is held on the
charge of firing Into a group of artillery
men. Of the quartet Tony Simmons is the
only one of the accused men who Is at pres
sent in jail. When he was given a hearing
the justice of the peace fixed his bond at
$ 1,100, which he was unable to furnish.
It was stated at the fort this morning
that Private Pancoast was progressing to
ward recovery very satisfactorily, though
it is not thought he will be able to testify
at the hearing tomorrow morning.

dlnando Segnafiorl, John B. Facchina and
Victor Facchina. the court being asked to
dissolve a partnership between the com
plainant and the defendants, known as ihe
National Mosaic Company, to appoint a
receiver and to direct an accounting.
The court is informed that "the relations
between the complainant and the de- j
fendants have ceasrd to contain any feel
ing of mutual confidence or good will; that
the defendants continually during the past
two months have so hostilely' and malic
iously treated the complainant that there
is now no reasonable hope of reconciliation
and no possibility of the restoration of that
mutual confidence and 1-armony which are
essential to concerted effort and friendly
co-operation, by which idone this firm can
be successfully maintained and its work
profitably carried on."

NEW YORK. June 30.?In the London
stock exchange this homing American
railway shares opened at about New ^ "rk
parity. Business was very light and Job
bers were Inclined to await the opening of
the stock market at New Vork before mak
ing any commitments.
In the local stock market prices were
fractionally higher, the continued Improve
ment in King Kdward's condition and the
exhibition of cheerfulness at L.ondon atoclc
exchange were encouraging Influence s
which appcart d to offset entirely the re
ports of excessive rains In the crop regions.
The market, however, was rather quiet and
commission house orders were limited.
The Gould stocks continued to sh"W
strength, Missouri Pacific, Texas and Pa
cific being the leaders, with good fractional
gains in the former and over 1 p? r cent ad
vance in the latter on better weather con
ditions In Texas. Canadian l'aclflc gain<d
over 1 per cent on London buying, and
there were fractional gains in Pennsylva
nia. New York Central. Union Pacific and
the Atchison issues.
"Soo" preferred after opening off over 1
per cent soon recovered the loss, whtte Illi
nois Central, after a somewhat lower start,
quickly gained nearly 2 per cent on a re
newal of the strong buying so conspcluous
last week.
St. Paul was Inclined to sag a little, the
Idea being that It had served Its purpose
as a market leader for the time l>elng und
that something else would be taken in
hand?Atchison, most probably.
There was a firmer tone In the anthracite
stocks, especially in Reading, on reports
that the miners were weakt nlng and would
return to work If given a chance to do so.
It was also stated that Coxe Pros, may re
sume this week.
In the local traction shares Manhattan
' continued to show firmness, while the otn r
issues in this group were steady, but In
active.
The particular feature of the industrial
list was the strong rally in Colorado Ku. 1
and Iron, which after opening off on? and
a quarter per cent, and holdtng steady until
about the end of the first hour's trarl lit.
was then bought in good amounts and ad
vanced nearly three per cent. Rope and
Twine issues on moderate transactions ad
vanced one per cent. Amalgamated Copper
acted heavy in the early dealings and lost
nearly one per cent before the noon hour.
In the early afternoon money worked up
to 7 per cent, then back again to 5U,
showing a little more activity, which led to
fractional reactions in the general market,
but pressure to sell was lacking. Just he
fore delivery hour there was a strong rally
in the active industrial stocks, led by Sugar
and Colorado Fuel and Iron, the former
gaining about 2 per cent, while the latter
made a further gain of 1% per cent over its
earlier improvement. There was also a
sympathetic advance of about 1 per cent
in Amalgamated Copper, while the general
railroad list improved fractionally.
The buying of St. Joseph and Grand Inland
was considered good, and there was bullish
talk on Wisconsin Central issues.
There was a little Inquiry for Pacific Mall
stock on the idea that lt? business will 1>?
materially improved by Increased traffic in
the way of supplies for th? Panama canal.
Insiders were said to be accumulating
Missouri Pacific stock on all react i.ms.
There was a very moderate liquidation In
one or two pool storks, noticeably In tho
"Sx?" issues, but stock did not come out In
