WALL STREET'S AIM
Money Speculators Want the
Secretary Remoyed.
ONLY THIS, AND NOTHING MORE
Spain Will Let Cuba Arrange Her
Customs Relations With the
Own
United States.
Will Cause Trouble.
Constantinople, Jan. 2. It is re
ported that the governor of Bitlia, Tan
sin Pasha, who commanded the military
operations in the Basoun district, where
so many outrages have been reported,
has been assassinated by an Armenian,
who afterwaid committed suicide.
The latesi letters from Bitlis, show
that the Armenians of that district were
exasperated at the conduct of the au
thorities and ready for any violence. In
regard to the disturbance at Ezion, in
the district of Erzinghian, it is stated
the governor recently summoned the
Armenian notables and informed them
"theT&irds were forming .an attack and
advised the Armenians to take measure
for their defense, as he did not have i.u
means to protect them. The Armenians
consequently tried to obtain a supply of
arms, which was difficult, owing to the
condition of the country. Letters from
Sivias, where fresh disturbances have
broken out, will not reach Constanti
nople for a fortnight, as the mail is being
continually confiscated by the govern
ment, and dispatches have to be sent in
.a roundabout way to insure delivery.
Want Carlisle Removed. '
Chicago, Jan. 2. A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
"Leading New York bankers have made
a formal demand on the president for
the removal of Secretary Carlisle. The
request was made by J. Pierpont Morgan,
who came on from New York for that
purpose. Mr. Morgan was the chief
factor in the late syndicate which took
the last issue of bonds. There have
been many informal demands for Secre-
tary Carlisle's retirement coming from
Wall street in the last year, but this is
the first time the movement has taken
an organized form. New York financiers
charge that the secretary broke faith
with them on the recent bond issue by
springing his currency plan just after he
disposed of the bonds, and depressing
the price on the market, resulting in
the dissolution of the syndicate. The
president informed Secretary Carlisle to
day for the first time of Morgan's modest
request, and indicated he bad no inten
tion or asking Secretary Carlisle to
quit."
Spain's Discriminating Duties.
Washington, Jan. 2. Officials of the
state department have about concluded
their investigation into the discriminat
ing duties recently imposed by Spain
upon American goods, and it is not un-
likely the president will very soon issue
a proclamation imposing discriminating
flag duties upon Spanish goods imported
in Spanish bottoms. The question has
arisen, however, whether the duty
levied by Spain includes all American
goods, or only such as are imported in
American ships. It is presumed the
new duty embraces all American goods,
but if it be found this is not the case,
. the proceedure of our officials may take
a different aonrse.
A Panic in a factory. '
Chicago, Jan. 2. Fire in the Princess
knitting works, at Bacine and South
port avenues, this afternoon, caused a
panic among the 'girl employes. The
fire ran up the elevator shaft and quickly
enveloped the three floors of the build
ing. Escape by way of the stairs was
cut off, and the frightened employes
burst open the windows and clung to
cases, frantically screaming for help.
Many jumped fiom the second floor and
alighted in Bafety, and the firemen, who
arrived promptly, rescued the others
Several girls were cut by broken glass
and badly braised by jumping. The fire
was extinguished, with a loss not to ex
ceed 20,000.
Compelled a Boy to Murder.
Medoba,N. S., Jan. 2. A horrible
story was told last night to the coroner's
jury concerning the death cf S. D. Sever-
4L. son, who was shot at Mark Wadsworth's
ranch. The boy of Fred Eohm, a bright
14-year-old lad who has been in custody
for several days suspected of the murder,
has made a partial confession to the
clerk of the court, Mr. Foley. Before
the coroner's' jury tonight he made a
clean breast of it, and said his employer
iVads worth, took him in the early dawn
into the barn and promised the boy $200
to shoot Severson. He told him when
to pull the trigger, and the deed was
done. This story was told by the boy
quietly and clearly, but he burst into
tears when the climax of the' story was
reached. Wadsworth himself followed
the boy and denied the whole Btory.
Wadsworth is partially paralyzed, and
the boy says he could not pull the trig
ger himself. - The prosecution believes
it has found a motive in the claim that
Wadsworth owed Severson some money.
Wadsworth is under arrest for murder.
Yon Press the Button, It Does the Best.
S. C. Beach is sending out circulars
describing a voting machine which he
intends bringing before the next legisla
ture, and hopes to have it adopted for
use in Oregon, He says:
"Having made a personal examination
of the machine in operation, and being
familiar with all inventions of similar
machines, I pronounce it the most'sim
ple, economical manner of voting yet in
vented." The machine was invented by H. A.
Clifford, of San Francisco, for which he
makes the following claims : Absolute
secrecy, the Impossibility of tampering
with the voter's ballot, the rapidity with
which the result is known, the accuracy
of this result, and ' the economy of the
system. The machine takes up far less
room than the booths of the Australian
system, and the automatic counting
eliminates the expense of election offi
cers. Battle With Tralnrobberg..
Macon, Miss., Jan. 2. Two men bus
pected of being the robbers who held up
the passenger tiain at York, Ala., two
days ago, boarded the Mobile & Ohio

Drink Was His Ruin.
San Francisco, San. 2. Charles
Kohler, head of the firm of Kohler &
Frohling, leading wholesale wine mer
chants, committed suicide at the Ham
mam baths last night by means of mor
phine. He had been drinking a great
deal, and a year ago took the Keeley
cure. He began drinking again and
drank to such an extent that a few days
ago he was deprived of the power to is
sue checks on behalf of the firm. This
preyed upon bis mind so that he ended
his life. He was very well known in
this community.

Washington, Jan. 2. Jbrom an
authoritative source additional advices
have been secured respecting the decree
signed yesterday at Madrid by the queen

tain international powers, especially as
regards customs, relations with the

MAINE REJECTS REED'S RULES
The Colorado Senate I Haying a Dead
lock in Organization Ihe Demo
crats Standing; Aloof.
. Forest Reserve Protection.
Washington, Jan. 2j Considerable
interest has been manifested in the
west over the prospect of the passage of
the bill for the protection of the forest
reservations and it has become evident
since the bill passed the house that it
will encounter no inconsiderable op
position in the senate. When it went to
the senate, it was referred to the com
mittee on public lands, but the reference
was changed later and it then went to
the committee on forest reservations, of
which Senator Allen of Nebraska is. the
chairman. '
The necessity of proper care of the
forests for the preservation of timber
and the conservation of water supply in
in all arid mountain states and terri
tories is generally admitted even by
those who oppose the pending bill, but
they contend that the selections of
lands for such, reservations as have
been made were made without adequate
understanding of the conditions pro
vided. They assert that any of the res
ervations are far more extensive than
they need to be and that they operate
to prevent the settlement of large areas
of country which might otherwise be
come productive. It is asserted by them
that timber only holds the snow in the
mountainous regions and that many of
the reservations, and especially in Colo
rado, California and Wyoming, extend
to regions where the snow does not lie
at all. There is also objection to the
principle of using the standing army as
guard for reservations. Probably the
objection to placing the privilege of cut
ting timber within the discretion of the
secretary of the interior, which was
made in the house, will also be revived
in the senate.
China May Be Obliged to Give up Ex
tensive Territories.
Washington, Jan. 2. It is the belief
of officials . in a position to know the
status of affairs between China and
Japan, that Japan will declare the peace
negotiations off until ' China hastens
them. There is increased irritation on
the part of Japan as to delays in pre
senting definite proposals. Already the
Japanese government is inclining to the
unanimous demand of the native press
to make far greater demands than were
contemplated when the peace negotia
tions began. At that time the general
understanding was that the basis of
peace would te a cash indemnity and in
dependence of Corea. Now, however,
there is an intimation that Japan may
no longer accept the two conditions as
provided, but may insist also on China's
ceding extensive territories.
China's Offer.
Paris, Jan. 2. A correspondent tele
graphs from Shanghai as follows: "I
learn on good authority that China will
offer to repurchase Port Arthur, but that
she will not cede an inch of territory to
Japan.
"Generals Shong and Yehr, with 12,-
000 troops have joined General Sung.
The whole Chinese force is now massed
along the Liao river." .
Huge Timber Combination.
New York, Jan. 2. The Brooklyn
Eagle says : One of the largest lumber
deals on record has just been completed.
It includes the purchase of 860,000 acres
of Nova Scotia timber lands, together
with 16 lumber mills, all in operation
with established markets in England.
The syndicate which is back of this is
composed of unusually strong men in
the financial world. - They include
Charles K. Flint and H. B. Hollins of
New York, Charles L. James of James
& Abbott of Boston, W. A'. Boland of
Boston, W. A. Taft, head of the Export
Lumber Company, and Louis Hall, one
of the leading lumbermen of Michigan.
The company is to be known as the
Dominion Lnmber Company, Limited,
and is organized under the laws of the
province of Nova Scotia, Its capital is
several millions of dollars, bat accurate
information of that could not be ascer
tained, as those interested are non-com-committal.
Negotiations for the pur
chase of lands have been on for some
time and when the new tariff bill, which
provides for free lumber, went into effect,
the negotiations were pressed more
vigorously and can now be eaid to be
completed. j
Fight of Railroads.
" Omaha, Jan. 2. There is going to be
an all-round fight for the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern, the receivers
of the Union Pacific having about made
op their minds to contest the applica
tions of the American Loan and Trust
Company for a separate receiver. There
will be a meeting of the ' receivers in
New York next Tuesday, at which time
a plan of action will be decided upon.
General Solicitor Thurston will probably
go on to New York in order to attend
the meeting, and will possibly represent
the receivers when the application
taken up before Judge Gilbert on Jan
uary 15. It is also thought that the at
torney general will intervene on the
ground that the loss of the Short Line
to the Union Pacific would depreciate
the second mortgage the government
holds on the overland property.
With the filing of the application on
the part of the consolidated mortgage
bondholder? for a separate receiver, five
distinct suits have been commenced by
the mortgage interests in the Short Line
property. Four of these interests have
been satisfied with the appointment of
the present receivers of the Union
Pacific, and it is ' not likely that the
American Loan and Trust Company,
which is thought to be hostile to the
present management, will be able to
change existing conditions. For a time
it looked as if the short Line would be
allowed to drift away without a Btrungle,
but now, however, the line of battle is
forming and the American Loan and
Trust Company will have a good sized
fight on its hands.
i In Legislative Bodies.-
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 2. In the senate
today Lexow introduced a bill giving
power of removal to the mayor of New
York, and a bill allowing the mayor to
give notice for hearings on all legislative
bills relating to the city. Eaines intro
duced a blanket ballot box bill. Gov
ernor Morton nominated Alvah H. Doty
of New York for health officer of the
port, and he was immediately confirmed
The governor's message contains many
important recommendations regarding
reforms in state and municipal govern
ments. He recommends that power of
removal be at once given to the mayor
of New York, and a commission be ap
pointed to prepare a charter for a greater
New York.
Hamilton Fish was chosen speaker of
the house.
The senate has ordered the printing of
the Lexow committee testimony. It
will make 5,000 pages.
Deadlock In Colorado.
Denver, Jan. 2. The tenth general
assembly convened in the new capitol
at noon today. The house was prompt
ly organized with A. L. Humphrey, re
publican, as speaker. There was a
hitch in the organization of the senate,
as Leddy and Adams, democrats, would
not affiliate with either the republicans
or populists unless given half the offices,
and they hold the balance of power.
The senate adjourned until tomorrow in
deadlock.
Ciicle of Starvation Widens.
Boston, Jan. 2. According to advices
received by the Congregational Home
Missionary Society the circle of suffer
ing in parts of the west is widening. It
includes the Cherokee etnp in Okla
homa, where the country Is emphatically
new. Missionaries of the Congre
gational Home Missionary Society, in
forwarding special correspondence relat
ing to the situation, state that there is
special need of clothing. With the
thermometer below zero there were 31
men at a religious service who wore no
overcoats and were known not to own
one. Some of the women were without
wraps of any kind. A mother and
daughter alternately' wore the same
pair of shoes. Women have been found
barefooted at home, not possessing any
kind of shoes.
State to Investigate it.
Gmaha, Jan. 2. A special to the Bee
from Lincoln says the senate and house
have appointed a committee to investi
gate the condition of the drouth-stricken
districts of the state and report on the
plan of relief.
Wool Schedule Now In Effect.
New York, Jan. 2. The wool sche
dule of the Wilson tariff bill went into

and was tabled.
An Houest Tramp. '-
The tramp knocked softly at the
kitchen door and the nicest sweetest old
lady in the world met him. He chuck
led quietly, for he thought he had struck
a snap that was going to be a regular
bonanza find.
"Beggin your pardon, lady, but can I
get a bite io eat here?" he asked
humbly. '
'Are you very hungryT" she le-
sponded like a mother.
'Yes, lady."
'You are out of work, I suppose?' '
'Yes, lady ; I have not done a lick of
work since the 1st day of June."
Something in this statement made
him chuckle again, but ehe did not hear
him, as she stepped to the cubboard to
get a nice piece of pie, says the Detroit
Free Press. She came back and stood
with it in her hand before him like a
Lady Bountiful, and his mouth began to
water.
'And how long before that?" she
asked with something in her tone that
crashed him.
"Lady," he gasped, "I cannot tell a
lie. Good-morning," and he walked
out of the yard while she set the pie
back for the next one.
