SANTA CRUZ, Cal., June 4.— Just one
week from to-day the Venetian carnival
will commence, and Santa Cruz will be
called upon to entertain a host of visitors.
There is much to be accomplished in the
coming week, but there are hundreds at
work and everything will be ready for the
opening day.
The work of decorating private houses
was commenced to-day, and the beautiful
home of ex-Mayor Bowman, which is
situated on Beach Hill, overlooking Pacific
avenue, was decKed in the beautiful colors
of the carnival in the most artistic man
ner. The entire front is in yellow and
white bunting. There is being used for
decorative purposes much of the red foli
age which grows in such abundance in
the vicinity of this city. It is twined into
ropes and wreaths, and the effect is charm
ing.
The pavilion'is inclosed and the interior
work is being pushed rapidly forward.
The structure will soon be ready for the
decorators.
The programme for the concert on the
river on Thursday evening is out. It in
dudea illustrated music, a grand illumina

Three of the ten maids of honor elected
having sent their resignations to the exec
utive committee, it was decided that the
Queen should rill the vacancies by appoint
ment. The young ladies who resigned
were Misses Marian Peck, Rose Mulhern
and Georgie Skinner. At a meeting of the
maids of honor with their Queen and
Queen Dowager, Mrs. J. P. Smith, this
morning Mis* Beatrice Boston, MissEthal
bert Marey and Miss Minnie Cape were
appointed to fill the vacancies created by
the resignation of the three young ladies.
The robe of the Queen is to be something
grand. The costumes of the maids of
honor in the street pageant and open-air
•exercises are to be six of yellow and six
of white silk, after the style of the days of
Marie Antoinette. The young gentlemen
-escorts to the Queen and maids of honor
will be attired in appropriate costumes of
black and silver.
The Justices of the Supreme Court have
signified their intention of spending carni
val week in this city.
Much interest is now centered in the
dam, for on it depends partly one of the
principal features of the carnival, the night
fete on the river. The advice of old miners,
civil engineers and others familiar with
dam building hag been sought. The con
glomeration of suggestions has been sifted
down into practicable ideas, so that they
could be utilized, and the result will be a
dam which will withstand the tide. Work
on it is progressing with vigor. From
San Francisco 5000 more sacks have been
ordered. These will be rilled with sand
and placed on the dam.
In honor of the Half-million Club it has
been decided to have a fireworks piece rep
resenting United California.
The boxes and seats have been arranged
ia sections and a diagram made. Among
the first to purchase was Mrs. W. P. Fuller
of San Francisco, who is occupying the
Jarboe cottage. She purchased $92 worth
of boxes and seats for herself and guests.
Charles L. Fair has given $40 for a box.
Unquestionably the demand for seats will
be large, so people have begun reserving
them already.
DEL ATS THE OLYMYIA.
The Court-Martial , Changes j Viang Re
garding the Santa Cruz Fete,
SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 4.— a late
hour this afternoon Adjutant-General Bar
rett received a telegram from the naval
authorities at Washington, statins; that
owing to certain unforeseen exigencies
w^ich had arisen it would be impossible
to place the United States vessel Olympia
at the disposal of the naval battalion at as
early a date as had been expected.
'- Further inquiries on the subject have
developed the fact that the important
court-martial now in progress at the navy
yard requires the presence of Commodore
Howison, Captain Reed and other officers.
This court-martial will probably continue
until the 15th of June, and if so will pre
vent the members of the naval battalion
from participating in the fiesta ceremonies
at Santa Cruz, and will prove a disappoint
ment to the carnival visitors present.
Fully appreciating this fact, General
Barrett has decided to use every endeavor
in his power to procure the attendance of
the vessel at Santa Cruz for at least the
last iwo days of the festival, and will in
stantly communicate with the naval au
thorities on the subject. The change in
the date on which the vessel will be placed
at the disposal of the National (Guard is a
complete surprise to the State authorities,
as every arrangement had been perfected
to have the Olympia drop down to San
Francisco on Saturday next, receive the
naval battalion and proceed immediately
to Santa Cruz.
TISjIZIA'S RIVAL BELLES.
Miss Ward's Friends Again Advance Her
to First Place.
* VISALIA, Cal., June 4.— Miss Ward is
again in the lead for Goddess of Liberty.
Her friends rallied to her support to-day
and she got 515 votes. There were no votes
cast for the candidates who are down near
the foot of the list, all the work being in
the interest of the four leading contestants.
Excitement is running high, and all sorts
of combinations are being formed to win.
The friends of Miss Blake are voting
steadily, aud she looks like a sure winner
for one of the places. Miss Ward has the
support of the military company, and alto
tret her the fight is becoming very interest

The vote at 7 o'clock this evening was as
follows: Ward 4331, Stevens 3996, Blake

TO GET THREE BRUNCHES
The American Trust Company
Cutting Off Union Pacific
Feeders.
Officials of the System Appear to
Be Unable to Check the
Scheme.
OMAHA, Nebe., June 4.— Unsatisfactory
as it may be and against the hopes of those
in interest, there is a growing feeling about
the Union Pacific headquarters that the
American Loan and Trust Company will,
through a separate receiver, succeed to the
control of the Oregon Short Line, Utah
Northern and Southern Extension rail
roads, now a part of the Union Pacific. It
has been hoped that Judge Gilbert would
so modify Judge Sanborn's order in the
premises that the representatives of the
consolidated mortgage would hesitate
about raking upon themselves so heavy a
burden, but the modification was in the
nature of strengthening the hands of the
trustees of the consolidated mortgage and
the hopes of those interested have gone
down correspondingly as the trustees' in
terests have risen.
In view of this somewhat complicated
condition of affairs all eyes are directed to
ward Salt Lake, where the final battle is
lo be fought before Judge Merrill of the
Territorial court. Should he include the
Southern Extension in the order of trans
fer it will put an additional obligation of
at least $400,000, representing defaulted in
terest, upon the successor receiver, which
will have to be paid in addition to the
$1,750,000 as the other properties compos
ing the Short Line, as it is commonly
known. It is contended that in equity
Judge Merrill can do nothing less than
protect the first-mortgage interests, which
are in his court, and to do this he will
have to ask Mr. Egan, or whoever the re
ceiver is to be, to look after non-paying as
well as paying properties.
In addition to the amounts named, there
will be $425,000 in interest due August 1,
which will have to be raisea in two months
from the surplus earnings of the several
companies included in the Short lane. It
is conceded that the American Loan and
Trust Company and those associated with
it can raise $10,000,000 if necessary to carry
out the expressed purpose of a separate
receivership.
The officials of the Union Pacific are
worrying over the divorcement of the
Short Line.
"Will the American Loan and Trust
Company undertake so onerous a burden
as it appears to be from close examination
of the orders entered by Judge Gilbert of
the Ninth United States Circuit and Judge
Sanborn of the Eighth?" is generally
asked.
Those in a position to know seem to be
lieve that the money will be forthcoming.
An Address by Inaatls.
LAWRENCE, Kans., June 4.— The Uni
versity chapel was crowded to its utmost
capacity this morning to hear the address
of ex-Senator Ingalls to the law school.
He took a somewhat pessimistic view of
affairs generally over the country and sug
gested the necessity for display of great
wisdom in dealing with questions now
agitating the public mind.
Fire in a Grain Elevator.
NEWARK, N. J., June 4.— A fire in the
grain elevator attached to the Ballentine
Brewery to-day caused a loss of $250,000.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1895.
HIDDEN CARSON GOLD
Vengeance of a Woman
Leads to Its Re
covery.
MISS STEWART'S EXPOSE.
She Told the Mint Officials
Where the Bullion Was
Located.
PICKLER IS TO BE ARRESTED.
Fifteen Pounds of Crude Amalgam
Found Burled In a
Stable.
CARSON, Nev., June 4.— Flora Stewart
called at the United States mint this morn
ing and stated tljat William Pickler, em
ployed in the deposit department of the
melter and refiner of the mint, had stolen
mint bullion and buried it in the back yard.
Search warrants were issued and an exam
ination of the premises brought to light
about fifteen pounds of crude amalgam
buried in the stable. John Ulrick, acting
as the Constable's deputy, unearthed it
with a hoc.
The accused man was present, and said
the bullion had been sent from Idaho by
his brother, L. A. Pickler, about six
months ago, and there being so much ex
citement over stolen bullion he had feared
to deposit it, preferring to hide it.
The Stewart woman has been living with
Pickler about fifteen years. Some years
ago she adopted a child belonging to a
friend who died in Carson. The boy was
called Grover Cleveland Pickler. The
couple had a row over the child recently
and Pickler assaulted her. She swore out
a warrant and he was arrested and fined
and put under $100 bonds to keep the peace.
She threatened to send him to prison, and
the developments to-day show how well
she is attempting to carry out the threat.
Pickler was at once suspended by Super
intendent Adams. United States Attor
ney Jones was sent for and arrived to
night and proceeded to investigate. The
bullion has the appearance of being de
positors' bullion.
Miss Stewart told the Call correspondent
that Pickler had begun to bring in bullion
in small pieces during Garrad's adminis
tration, seven or eight years ago, and his
brother took $1000 worth away to San
Francisco and sold it about three years
ago. Pickler will be arrested in the
morning.
It is intimated also that there is more
behind the matter than has been yet de
veloped, and that a fresh surprise is in
store for Carson to-morrow. Pickler' s
friends insist that he can prove
that he received the bullion from his
brother; that the -woman knew it, but
used the incident to wreak vengeance, and
that parties are behind her, using her as a
tool to further complicate the present mint
case.
KILLED A SPOBTIXG MAX.
Attorney Zotct Knew Hoiv to Protect an
Aetresa.
SAVANNAH, Ga., June 4.— Philip H.
Fitzpatrick, proprietor of the Gaiety Hall,
and one of the best known sporting men in
this vicinity, was shot and killed to-night
by Charles Lowt, a prominent attorney of
Mount Vernon, Montgomery County, son
of Colonel P. H. Lowt of Augusta. Lowt
came to Savannah a short time ago on
legal business. He met Helen Stockton, a
singer at the Gaiety, and showed her de
voted attention.
Miss Stockton left the Gaiety and went
to the Thunderbolt, where Lowt sent her
horses, to ride with him. Fitzpatrick
went to the Thunderbolt, determined to
make the woman marry him. She refused
and he was arrested for creating a disor
der. He was bailed out, and soon after
kicked down the door of the room in which
Lowt and Miss Stockton had taken refuge
to avoid trouble with him.
Lowt fired one shot over Fitzpatrick's
head, and then as Fitzpatrick struck at
him tired two fatal shots into him. Lowt
surrendered and was brought to Savannah
and imprisoned. He is married and is
well known throughout Eastern Georgia.
UPHOLDS THE GOVERNOR.
Decision of the I-ndiann Supreme Court
in the Moby Affair.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 4.— The
Supreme Court of Indiana this evening
handed down what is regarded by many
as one of the most important rulings ever
submitted by it. It holds that when two
years ajjo the State attempted to suppress
the Roby prize-fight, applied for a receiver
ship for the property and when Governor
Matthews sent troops to place the receiver
in possession, all the proceedings were
regular and in accordance with advanced
jurisprudence.
Attorney-General Ketcham will at once
apply for a receiver for the property under
the new decision, and if it shall be neces
sary to place him in possession of the
Columbia Athletic Club of Roby troops will
be used as Before.
HER 31 AID EX PASSAGE.
First Trip of the JAner St. Zouis Across
the Atlantic.
NEW YORK, N. V., June4.— The Amer
ican Line steamship St. Louis will sail at
11 o'clock to-morrow morning on her
maiden passage across the Atlantic. The
carrying capacity will be taxed to the ut
most, as she takes over 350 cabin passen
gers, the full limit of her accommodations.
A very convenient feature of the St.
Louis is the fact that she can seat every
cabin passenger in the spacious dining
saloon at one time, so no one will be com
pelled to wait for a second table, which is
usually the case on most of the other
liners.
Overriden by the Senate.
BOSTON, Mabb., June 4. —Governor
Greenhalge's veto of the bill giving Union
veterans of the late Civil War an absolute
preference in State employment was to-day
overridden by the Senate, the vote being
28 to 7. The Governor's objectidn to the
bill was that it would seriously impair the
efficiency of the civil service.
Jjightning Rums a Schoolhouse.
MUNCIE, Isd., June 4.— Lightning to
day struck the schoolhouse at 8011. There
were sixty children in the house and it
burned to the ground. A lady school
teacher had all her hair burned off.
Taylor Wants to Be Executed.
TOPEKA, Kaxs... June 4.— Governor
Morrill received a letter from Taylor Cook,
a life convict in the penitentiary, asking
that his death warrant be signed and that
he be executed. This probably is the only
case of the kind on record. Cook was con
victed of wife murder in Osborne County
six years ago and sentenced to be hanged.
The death nenalty in Kansas means im
prisonment for life. The Governor will in
vestigate Cook's case.
TAKE* is COVERED ! WAGONS.
Armed Sheepmen smuggled Into the
Cattlemen's Domain.
DENVER. Coxo., June 4.— The News has
the following dispatch by courier from
Hahns Peak, Colo., written* last night:
Three days ago a body of armed men
were carried to a sheep camp in California
Park in covered freight wagons, presuma
bly to resist the expected attack by cattle
men. It is believed here that the
sheepmen have decided to defy
the injunction of the cattlemen by
remaining and continuing to advance
upon the cattle ranges. A steady
encroachment has been noticed since the
mass-meeting at Steamboat Springs, on
May 19, and as the sheepmen have given
out that they will go through Routt or call
out the entire State militia, a conflict is
looked for. The settlers around the peak
are oiling up old guns that have lain idle
since the Ute war of 1887. The town of
Red Park, three miles from the peak, has
become actively disturbed and has organ
ized a force to be sent to the rendezvous of
the Haydon cavalry.
Scouts left Elk River, at the foot of
Hahns Peak, this morning to investigate
and report to the general committee upon
the rumored invasion of Routt County by
armed men from Wyoming.
DEED OR A JEALOUS MAN
With a Razor He Slashes His
Wife Over a Hundred
Times.
Then the Blood-Thirsty Wretch Is
Caught in an Attempt to
Commit Suicide.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ikd., June 4.-A
special to the Sentinel from Evansville,
Ind., says: For some months Valentine
Wissman has been jealous of his wife and
has had frequent quarrels with her because
of his jealousy of one Erwin. Last night
her brothers spent the evening with them,
and after they had gone he showed he was
jealous of even them. He partially dis
robed and then went into the room where
his wife was and told her he was going
to kill her. He snatched her baby
from her arms and dashed it to the floor.
Then he got a razor.
His wife ran out of the house, but was
stopped by a high picket fence, and he
caught her. He immediately began to
slash her with a razor. He cut her throat
three times, slashed her several times in
the face and then began hacking at her
bosom. He cut one of her breasts off and
then tried to cut off a hand. He cut the
leaders and severed the artery. In all he
cut her in 121 places. Neighbors fright
ened him away and carried the woman in
doors and called surgeons, who finally
stopped the flow of blood from her wounds.
Wissman was captured this morning.
He was discovered on a fence stark naked,
except as to his shirt, which had been tied
around the neck, and to it he had tied a
piece of wire that was fastened to a limb
of a tree. He was in the act of jumping
from the fence when taken. The wife and
child will die.
SHOTS IN A HOSPITAL.
An Irritable Dyspeptic Wounds
a Fellow- Patient Ser
iously.
Then the Nurse Enters Just In Time
to Get the Last
Bullet.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 4. —At 3
o'clock this afternoon Bernard Conner, a
patient in St. Alexis Catholic Hospital,
shot a fellow-patient, named Timothy
Donavan, four times, sent a bullet through
the leg of a nurse named James Cantillon
and then tried to kill himself.
Conner is suffering from dyspepsia and
is very irritable. Donavan had worried
him and he had threatened to kill Dona
van. This afternoon he Bat up in bed,
drew a revolver from beneath the bed
clothes and fired. One bullet struck Dona
van in the head, another broke his left
arm, a third entered his shoulder and the
fourth plowed a hole in the abdomen.
Cantilion, the nurse, entered the room
at that time and Conner fired the last bul
let at him. Then the fellow tried to beat
out his own brains with the pistol. Dona
van is still alive, but cannot recover.

JCattem Corn la All Right, but the
Wheat la Short.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4.— The
Weather Bureau in its report of crop con
ditions for the week ended June 1 says:
The warm weather has been beneficial to
corn and it is coming up and doing well.
Reports from the Southern States indicate
that corn in that section is in excellent
condition.
In Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and South
ern Illinois corn will be greatly benefited
by rain. In Nebraska the corn crop has
grown well during the week and is in ex
cellent condition.
Winter wheat is in less promising condi
tion in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Mis
souri, and rust is appearing in Illinois. It
is nearly ready to harvest in Kansas, and
is heading in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Tobacco is growing nicely in the Caro
linas, and planting is progressing favor
ably in Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland.
In Ohio plants set out are dying from
drought.
*A.TEyT OFFICJS GAZETTE.
Settlement of the Hong Contest Oner its
Publication.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4. — The
long-drawn-out contest over the publica
tion of the Patent Office Gazette was set
tled to-day by the action of Commissioner
Seymour and Secretary Smith, in deciding
that the law required them to continue the
old method of printing and publishing the
Gazette.
In this method the bulk of the Gazette
is produced by the lithographic process.
About three-fifths of the work in point of

OLNEY WILL GET IT
To Be Promoted to tjie
Vacancy in the
Cabinet.
DELAY IN THE SELECTION
Cleveland Seeking a Man to
Succeed the Attorney-
General.
SOLICITOR CONRAD'S CHANCE.
Then Assistant Secretary Uhl May
Become the Virginian's Suc
cessor.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4.— There
is no longer any reasonable doubt that the
President has fully determined to ask At
torney-General Olney to accept the State
Department portfolio. The President has
not intimated to Olney his purpose. To
other members of the Cabinet, however, he
has stated in substance that he should ask
Olney to accept the place. He is delaying
the public announcement in order that he
might at the same time name a successor
to Olney as Attorney-General.
Cabinet officers after the meeting to-day
stated that no appointment has yet been
made to fill the vacancy. Senator Gray of
Delaware came over from "Wilmington to
day and went directly to the White House.
It was thought his visit had some connec
tion with the vacant Cabinet office. Gray
was the most earnest champion of the
administration in the Senate, and as a
member of the Committee on Foreign Re
lations has become familiar with the duties
of Secretary of State.
Senator Gray's visit to the White House
was undoubtedly in response to a telegram
from the President, who, it is believed,
would not hesitate to offer Mr. Gray a
place in his Cabinet were it not for the fact
that his retirement from the Senate would
almost certainly result in the election of a
Republican successor.
It is thought that up to this time the
President has not definitely decided upon
Mr. Olney 's successor. A long list of
names is being discussed, but everything
in that connection is purely speculative.
Ex-Postmaster-General Don M. Dickin
son, it is said, would be very likely of
appointment if he would accept. A possi
bility is B. Holmes Conrad of Virginia,
the present Solicitor-General. He has
the reputation of being a man
of brilliant legal attainments, and en
joys the high regard of the members of
the Supreme Court. The fact that
Mr. Conrad comes from Virginia,
however, may operate against his appoint
ment, but in case he is selected it is be
lieved that Mr. Uhl, the present Assistant
Secretary of State, would be a candidate
for the vacant solicitor-generalship. Mr.
Uhl was a candidate for this place at the
time Mr. Maxwell was appointed, and it is
believed a change from the Department of
State to that of Justice would be most
agreeable to him.
Richard Olney, who is now in all proba
bility to be advanced to the first place in
President Cleveland's Cabinet, has won
this distinction by the able service he has
thus far rendered the President on all the
more important questions that have en
gaged public attention since the present
administration began. During the great
strike at Chicago his services were partic
ulary notable. He developed each step
that the Government anthoritiestook, and
President Cleveland was so fully convinced
of the wisdom of the proposed policy that
he gave it thorough support and execu
tion. In this question Mr. Olney was im
pelled by a desire to suppress disorder.
He had shown* in another case his
sincere respect for the rights of
labor. This was in a case of the Reading
Railroad which sought to compel one of
iis employes to either sever his connection
with a railway men's beneficial organiza
tion or leave the company's service. Al
though the Government had no direct
interest in the case Mr. Olnev secured the
permission of the court to present a brief
on behalf of the employe, in which he held
that the proposed action of the company
was against justice and right. The brief
was marked by a vigorous defense of the
right|of labor to organize in any way it
saw fit for advancing its interests so long
as the means were peaceful and within the
law.
The new Secretary of State comes from
stnrdy Puritan stock. His ancestor,
Thomas Olney, came from England and
settled at Salem, Mass., in 1735. The
father of Richard Olney owned the cotton
mills at Roxford ana also engaged in bank
ing. His mother was a Sigourney, a de
scendant from French Huguenots who fled
from France to this country. The new
Secretary graduated from Brown Univer
sity in 1856, and from the Harvard law
school in 1858. He married Agnes, daugh

ter of Judge Benjamin P. Thomas, with
whom he studied law. They have lived of
late years at Boston, with summer resi
dences near Buzzards Bay and Gray Gables.
Mr. Olney is a man of medium height
and robust form and in general appear
ance he conveys the impression of intense
vitality and physical endurance beyond
that of any man who has occupied the
position of Secretary of State in recent
years. He has served one term in the
State Legislature of Massachusetts.
In politics Mr. Olney is an old-time
Democrat, but was unable to support But
ler for Governor. He did not take part in
the last Presidential campaign, but
rendered effective service to Mr. Cleve
land in an unobtrusive manner. As a
lawyer his success has been that of a
counselor rather than that of an advocate.
THE TREATY OF PEACE.
China Compelled to Extend Commercial
Courtesies to Japan.
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 4.—Minis
ter Donby of China, in a dispatch dated
May 25 has furnished the State Depart
ment a synopsis of the treaty of peace be
tween China and Japan. The commercial
provisions are as follows:
A new treaty of commerce to be made imme
diately after this treaty is ratified, and until
the treaty is made Japan is to have favored
nation treatment. Six months from the date
of the present treaty, April 17, the following
concessions tp take effect:
First— The following ports to be opened to
Japanese trade, residence), industries and man
ufactories: Shin, in llapei; Chung King, in
Szechuan; Suchow, in Kiang Su; Hong Chow,
in Chekiang.
Second — Steam navigation on the upper
Yang-tse River from Ichnng to Chung King

Shanghai to Suchow and Hong Chow.
Third — Japanese may rent or hire warehouses
for storage of goods' in the interior of China
free of taxes or exactions.
Fourth— Japanese may engage in manufac
turing and may import machinery at all open
ports.
In a previous dispatch, dated April 22,
Minister Denby states that Vice-Consnl
Bandidnal of Newchwang Province, still
occupied by Japanese troops, had received
communication from the Japanese author
ities announcing that a special commis
sion for the port had been appointed and
that commerce would be carried on with
certain restrictions usual and essential
during military occupation. The customs
duties, fees, etc., levied upon exports and
imports are to be the same as prevailed
under Chinese rule.
OX A. GOLD BASIS.
Much Interest in Chile's Xew Currency
Conversion Lair.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4.— The
Associated Press cablegram announcing
that Chile's new currency conversion law
places that country on a gold basis created
much interest here. Secretary Cruse of
the Chilean legation, when asked to-day
about what effect the new law would have,
replied: "No effect whatever on our bonds
or outstanding loans, all of which
are payable, principal and interest,
in gold. But it will insure a
stable currency. It is not expected that
gold will circulate much in ordinary com
mercial transactions. Silver will be the
medium, together with bank notes, issued
substantially on the United States system.
To carry out the provisions of the law the
new President of Chile is authorized to
sell some of the Government nitrate beds
to procure the coin necessary to retire this
paper money. For three years he is also
authorized to coin $10,000,000 of silver an
nually and to negotiate for advances on
the purchase money of the nilrate beds.
Silver will be legal tender up to $50. In
sums exceeding that it will be exchange
able at the mints for gold at its market
value."
XO CHISIS IX SPAIN.
Minister Delotne Says the Cabinet Metn-
bers Are in Harmony.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 4.—Minis
ter Dupuy Delome of Spain says there is no
fear of a cabinet crisis, as the result of the
adverse vote in the Spanish House of
Deputies yesterday, and that the vote does
not indicate any change of the Govern
ment's policy in Cuba or on other questions
of importance. The Conservatives recently
assumed the conducting of affairs. They
did not, however, havo a majority in the
House of Deputies, and it was one of the
terms on which the Conservative leaders
undertook to form a cabinet that the
other parties should assist in passing the
budget. This was essential by reason of
the strength of the different parties in the
House which is about as follows: Con
servatives -100, Liberals 38, Republicans
25, Carlists 3, and Cuban and Porto Rico
members 25.
The Minister is satisfied that the adverse
vote was on some minor question not in
volving the Government policy, saying he
would be informed at once if a crisis was
imminent. The budget will be passed by
July 1, as the fiscal year ends then. The
Cortes will then adjourn, and it is under
stood an election will be held.
A. Faster Heroines Insane.
SOUTH ENID, 0. T., June 4.— Eugene
Busch, the farmer who recently fasted
forty days, was to-day pronounced insane
by the County Commissioners. Physi
cians differ, however, as to whether he is
insane or delirious from overeating at the
close of his fast. His profanity now equals
his hitherto zealous prayers.
