SHEEP ON RESERVE
Regulations Under Which Graz
ing Is Permitted.
NO OREGON STOCK IN WASHINGTON
So Fy I Ukelr to Be Exacted Un
less Consrress Shall Hereafter Spe
cifically Authorise It.
WASHINGTON, April 1L Tho total
cumber of sheep to be allowed on. the
Mount Kalnler forest reserve during the
coming season, under the recent order of
Secretary Hitchcock, will be S50.000. This
number Is practically the same as In pre
vious years. Last season 280,000 were al
lowed on the reserve, but as come of the
sheep men placed their flocks on the re
serve before the Secretary of the Interior
fcwied order to that effect, there was
xnuth dissatisfaction and friction In of
ficial circles here, as it was felt that the
cheep men were going beyond their Just
rights.
Cattle and horses ore, also, to be al
lowed on the reserye, the number of cat
tle .being limited to MOO and of horaos to
lOOol These figures are baawl on the num
ber of cattle and horses that have been
estimated aa going on the reserve here
tofore. Each man desiring the privilege of the
range must make an application which,
when approved by the department, will
entitle him to a certain part of the re
serve. It Is expected that the cattle men
and sheep men will agree on the tracts
that each will have and will divide up the
total area aatlsfactorily. Superintendent
Shelter, of the Washington state forest
reserves, will take charge of this work
and will report to the department.
Each permit to graze will contain a qual
ifying clause, which provides that those
accepting the permit will pay such charge,
per head, for their animals as the Sec
retary of the Interior may hereinafter
decide. According to previous suggestions
and recommendations, the Secretary Is ex
pected to favor a charge of 2 to I cents
per head for sheep and 10 to 12V4 cents
per head for cattle and horses. These
figures are not definite, but are based
upon the expressed views of Secretary
Hitchcock.
At present there Is no law giving the
Secretary of the Interior specific authority
to make any charge whatever for grazing
purposes. Some hold that he has thll
light, but he does not assume to have It.
and will, therefore, ask Congress to grant
him tho authority. If this authority :
granted, then be will call upon the cattle
men and sheep men for a grazing charge
as Indicated above. Should Congress fall,
however, to give him the deslrod authority,
It la practically certain no charge will b
made at all.
The permits which are to be Issued will
prohibit Oregon sheep or cattle grazing
on the reserves In Washington. There has
been much complaint regarding the inva
sion of Oregon sheep and cattle In Wash
ington, and It is now the purpose of th
department to prevent such Invasion In
the future and to reserve the grazing
lands of Washington for the sheep and
cattle men of that fitate.
The forest supervlsore, acting under
Superintendent Sheller, are expected to
see that the rules and regulations of the
department ore carried out and, aleo, that
the grasa is not destroyed by over-grazing.
Last Fall it was stated that the sheep
men and cattle men of the North Yakima
section had raised upwards pf $100) to send
a committee to this city to assist In se
curing recognition for their old-time lights
and privileges of grazing In the mountains
during the heat of the Summer. No com
mittee of this kind has arrived here, and
tho efforts of Senator Foster and .Con
gressman Jones, who reside In the heart
cf the grazing district, and Congressman
Cushman have resulted in securing all
that the Interested parties deslrod.
Superintendent Sheller recommended
that approximately 250,000 sheep be allowed
to graze on the reserve this year. HI
actual figures were a little less than the
number allowed by the Secretary of the
"Interior.
The application blanks which the cattle
and sheep men will have to sign, together
with the form of the grazing permit to
be lasued. are as follcws:

GOMEZ IN SANTIAGO.
Mnch Discord Over Him Between (he
Whites and the Blacks.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, April 15. The recep
tion tendered to General Gomez today on
his way to Santo Domlngc caused great
excitement, owing to tho efforts of the
white and black parties to obtain the
first recognition. Tne black party repre
sented by the Cubano Libre, which con
tinues occasional publications In defiance
of the orders of the authorities, who had
directed its suppression, sent o. tug to
meet the steamer Maria Herrera at quar
antine and succeeded In Inducing General
Gomez to accompany them.
Meanwhile, another tug, earning tho
Civil Governor, General Castillo, the
Mayor and other officials representing the
dominant white party, was entirely ig
nored by Gomez.
The black party, highly elated, took the
guest to landing, where an Immense crowd
gatheied on the frail private wharf of a
local boat club. This collapsed, and many
were thrown Into the water, one being
drowned.
The official party declined to recognize
General Gomez In consequence of his
recognition of the black party, and there
Is considerable excitement.
When the procession passed through the
city without either Civil Governor or
Mayor, rioting was narrowly prevented
by the vigorous action of the police under
American officers. This afternoon all the
clubs gave receptions to General Gomez,
but the white party refused to attend
any of them.

Stewart said that Invitations had been
sent to President McKlnley and his Cabi
net, all the members ot Congress, the
members ot the Supreme Court and the

ono would hafo seemed Invidious, and
would have constituted reasonable ground
for taking umbrage. Mr. Stewart said
there was no Intention to offend the Duke,
and he regrets very much that tho Span
ish Minister feels affronted.

MANY VISIT THE FAIR
CROWDS COMPOSED OF FHOVIX
CIAXS AND -FOREIGNERS.
Parisians Know Better Than to
Waste Time and Money on tho
Uncompleted Exposition.
PARIS; April.lS,-Ilorlous weather fa
vored the onenlntr of the Exposition to the
general pubHo today, and enormous crowds
flocked Into the grounas. Tne area ci
the exhibition, however,. Is so great that
nowhere was there any great rush. Th
visitors were mainly composed of provin
cials end foreigner. Comparatively few
Parisians wera seen. Aware of the great
backwardness of the preparations, they
remained away for the most part.
The management demanded two en
trance tickets for morning admission, ono
for afternoon admission and two during
the evening, when the Eiffel tower and
the palaces on the Champs de Mars were
Illuminated. But there were absolutely
no attractions provided, not even a band
of music, and tho people promenaded In
front of the empty and, in many cases,
unfinished buildings and along roads
where only In the case of the main ave
nues had the work of paving been com
pleted. Visitors who left the central ar
teries found their pathway filled with pit
falls and heaped with debris, some thor
oughfares resembling mere bridle paths.
The moving sidewalk, access to which
cost 50 centimes, proved a great suc
cess, and was Jammed all day. The Amer
ican National Pavilion remained closed.
So also did most of the other pavilions,
for the reason that their Interiors are still
unfinished.
Berlin Papers Are Cynical.
BERLIN, April 15. Tho Berlin papers,
commenting on the speeches of President
Loubet and M. Mlllerand at the opening
of the Paris Exposition yesterday, refer
to them as "hollow phrases." The
Deutsche Tages Zeltung says:
. "There Is no hope; no ground for hope,
that the 20th century will be any mora
peaceful than the ISth. nor that there will
be any more fraternity, for International
competition is growing more and mora
keen all the while and Is drowning every
other consideration."
GERMAN MURDERER CONFESSED.
Pretended to De n Musician, and
Gave Potation ot Strychnine.
BERLIN, April 15. A sensational caio
of murder has Just come to light at Grunc
wald, a popular suburb of Berlin. The
murderer, Jaeirlcke, has confessed that
he pretended to be a great magician and
Induced his victim, Louise Bergner, to
meet him and to drink a potation con
taining strychnine, from which she died.
Tho corpse was hidden under, the Ice.
The government bill, which has Just been
sent to the Reichstag, providing for an
increase in the subvention to the German
East Africa steamship lino, announces that
hereafter the vessels of the line will sail
around Africa, with a view of making
tho German Cape Town trade Independent
ot England.
Last week's money tendency showed al
most no change, except that the market
was slightly firmer toward the end. The
Bourse was quiet rather than otherwise.
Coalers again showed another striking
gain for the week, although the profes
sional element has ceased to buy. Amer
ican railways continue in good demand.
Negotiations have been begun for renewal
of the pig-Iron syndicate which expires
wiw mo end of this year. The flour-mill
proprietors of the Rhine provtnce,-West-
pnaua, Hanover ana Hesse-Nassau are
trying to organize a syndicate, with a
view of raising the price of flour.
The Vulcan Shipbuilding Company, ot
Stettin, haa Just declared a dividend of
16 per cent, as against it and will add
2.000,000 marks to Its capital.
According to official reports from the
Camcroons, the revolt there is dying out,
and orderly conditions are being resumed.
This is understood to be due largely to
the good offices "of American missionaries,
who have acted as intermediaries in ne
gotiations for a peaceful settlement with
the Bull chief.
The London Money Market.
LONDON. April 15. Owing to the Eas
tertide holidays, business on tho Stock
Exchange last week was very quiet There
was little change in nrlccs. which show
a distinct firmness, and the market seems
in a neoitny condition. Holders of Ameri
cans have been realizing to such an ex
tent as at one time to cause a reaction,
but Americans closed better. Baltimore &
Ohio ordinary rose on the week 1 point
and Baltimore & Ohio preferred 3H points.
Norfolk & Western common rose 1
and the preferred stock 1. In most other
cases, the movement was downward, Penn
sylvania and Union Paclfio each falling
1U. Mines were sluggish throughout the
week. Money was In moderate demand,
call monoy at 3 per cent; three months'
bills, 4 to 4K per cent.
Honors With United States.
LONDON. April 16. The Dally News,
commenting editorially upon tho corre
spondence between Great Britain and tho
United States on the "open door" In
China, which was published in a blue
book Saturday, says:
"It gives a strong Impression that the
United States recognized Lord Salisbury's
incapacity to respect the tendency toward
a partition of China. The honors are de
cidedly with the United States, which
took a much firmer and more impressive
tone than had characterized the squeez
able Lord Salisbury's previous communi
cations with Russia and Germany."
Trinidad Rejects Reciprocity.
OTTAWA. Ont.. April 15,-Offlclal ad
vices from Trinidad show that the legis
lature there has rejected the offer ot
Canada for reciprocal trade and adopted
the convention with the United States.
The United States offers Trinidad a rs
ductlon of 1214 per cent on cane sugar,
asphalt, fresh fruits and vegetables, while
in return Trinidad places il articles on

be made In that direction until after some
of the measures before the Senate are
disposed of.
Senator Carter will try on Monday to
get a day fixed for a vote on the Alaskan
bllt There are only two amendments ot
Importance remaining to be acted upon 'n
connection with that measure. .and It a
thought these could bo disposed of at a
very early date, if the" friends of the Alas
kan bill would agree to assist In tho tak
ing up of other legislation when It Is out
of the way. Senator Morgan seems at pres
ent inclined to hold up tho code measure
until ho can receive some assurance on
tha canal bill, but so far has apparently
not been successful In that direction.
There aleo is a notable disposition to
use the Alaskan bin and the Philippine
bill to delay the taking up of the subsidy
bill. The Democrato In the Senate are
practically united In opposition to tho
subsidy proposition. Senator Lodge, In
charge of tho Philippine bill, announces
It to be his purpose to ask a vote on It
whenever the Democrats make an open
ing for such suggestion. Apparently, how
ever, he is not very sanguine of success.
Senator Hoar has given notice of a
speech on the Philippine question on Tues
day next, and ho is expected then fully
to outline his views on tho question of
expansion.
Late in the week reports win De proo-
ably made on some of the appropriation
bills now In committee. It Is aleo prob
able that a report will be made In the
Clark case during th week. Tho report
has been drafted In tho rough by Senators
Chandler and Turley, and will be laid be
fore the committee on elections as soon
as completed. Senator Chandler announces
It to be his purpose to ask to have the
question taken up In the Senate as soon
as the report is filed.
Xnvnl Appropriation In the House.
The week In the House will be largely
taken up with the consideration ot the
naval appropriation bill, over which thero
promises to be a protracted struggle. Tho
whole question of armor-plate, except
that for the Maine. Wisconsin and Mis
souri, will be fought out The minority
members of the committee; led by Wheeler
of Kentucky, will make a strong fight for
the establishment of a Government ar
mor factory as the best solution of the
problem. An attempt will also bs made
by tho minority of the committee for tha
building of ships In Government yards.
Before the naval bill Is taken up to
morrow, Chairman Marsh, of the com
mittee on military, will bo recognized to
move .the passage. unde- euspens-'on of
the rules, of the bill appropriating Jl.000.000
for the militia of the several states. Fri
day will be given up to tho committee on
war claims under the rules and Saturday
has been set .aside for paying tribute to
the memory of the late Representative
Settle, of Kentucky.
ALTGELD OX FATTISOJf.
Why the Pennaylvnnlnn Cannot Rnn
With Colonel Bryan.
CinCAGO. April 15. Ex-Governor Alt
gehl was spoken to today about tho sug
gestion of nominating ex-Governor Paul
son, ot Pennsylvania, as the running mate
of Mr. Bryan. He said:
"I notice that tho Palmer and Buckner
newspapers of America aro urging his
nomination. Those papers and those men
who havo been very hostile to Mr. Bryan
and are still hostile to what he repre
sents, would llko to see him defeated, and
yet wish to go with the Democratic party
this year, are urging tho nomination of
Mr. Pattlson. Personally, I believe that
tho nomination of Mr. Pattlson for the
Vice-Presidency would bo as great a mis
fortune as the nomination we mado in
1S56 for that place, if not greater. Our
candidate for that place In 'SO was at least
positively with us on tho silver question;
but ho did not command the confidence
of our people on any other question, and
greatly weakened our ticket Mr. Pattl
son has not been positively with us on
any proposition, and it Is safe to say that
at least S6 per cent of the Democrats cf
America would be disappointed at auch a
nomination. For us to be guided by high
principle in tho nomination ot a candidate
for tho Presidency and then undertake
to play old-fashioned, cheap politics In tho
nomination of a candidate for tho Vice-
Presidency would be unworthy of a great
party, and would so far weaken that party
as to make it Incapable of performing nny
great mission for tho country or for hu
manity. The Democracy must name a man
for tho Vice-Presidency who possesses the
same character, the same conviction and
the same positive and aggressive force as
the man who is to head the ticket
"Let me say that I have great respect
for Governor Pattlson as a man. He is
a, gentleman and a man of great ability,
and In any other manner I should be glad
to nonor mm; but there are thousands of
men of high character and ability whom
I respect but whom the Democracy could
not put upon Its ticket this year without
abandoning Its high mission."

Secretary Long's Implied willingness to
accept the Republican nomination for tho
Vice-Presidency, as Inferred from the
statements made by him on that subject
yesterday, was a matter of general com
ment In Washington today. It set the
Republican slate-makers to thinking, and
for the time being has seriously upset tho
calculations of those who believed that
the honor would go to one of a half dozen
others mentioned for tho Vice-Presidency.
Secretary Long was called on by a num.
ber of persons during the day, and was
Importuned for an exact statement of his

AlRer on Dewey.
DETROIT. Mich., April 15. "I think
Admiral Dewey has made a grave mistake
In announcing his candidacy for the Presl.
dency," said ex-Secretary of War Alger,
In the course of an Interview tonight. "It
looks as though the wealth of praise
showered upon the Admiral since his re
turn from the East has turned his head
It is harder to resist prosperity than ad
versity. I feel sorry for him, for h's am
bitions will certainly not be fulfilled. Hli
action Is Ill-advised. I predict for him
in his Presidential aspirations a melan
choly disappointment"

WRIGHT'S WOUND FATAL
MILLIONAIRE TIRE MANUFACTURER,
DIED YESTERDAY.
He Declared the Shot Was Accident
tal, bat Detective Donbt That
The Wtomau's Statement.
CHICAGO. April 15. Rufus Wright tha
millionaire manufacturer of rubber tires,
who was shot during a scuffle for the pos
session of a revolver In tho apartments
of Mrs. Louisa Lottrldge. at the Leland
Hotel yesterday, died today from the ef
fects of the wound. The body of the mil
lionaire Is at an undertaking-room, where
an Inquest will be held tomorrow.
It Is the opinion of the police that tho
Coroner's Investigation will mark the
close of a sensational case. A statement
, by the deceased to Chief ot Detectives
Colleran, that the shooting was accidental,
will. It Is thought, clear Mrs. Lottrldge
of all responsibility. Wright died with
words of exculpation on his lips for tha
woman whose revolver was responsible for
his death. He persisted In saying that ho
had the revolver in his hahd when it was
discharged.
Although he admits he can offer no
evidence. Chief ot Detectives Colleran
strongly belle vis thrst the weapon was not
In the hands of Wright when It was dis
charged. Captain Colleran sajs that Mis.
Lottridgo 'said she could not remember
whether the weapon was In her hand or
In Wright's. He also clte3 the fact that
Wright's beard Is not singed, as it would
have been if the weapon had been dis
charged close to his head, and his face
Is not marked with powder. Captain Col
leran says there Is nothing to show that
he held a revolver very close to his face.
Mrs. Lottrldge. In a statement made at
the Police Station, said:
"I cannot remember what led up to tho
production of the revolver. I was talk
ing to Mr. Wright when he asked me to
show him a revolver of which he had
spoken previously. I refused to do so, and
we talked on other matters for a while.
I remember that finally I went to my
valise and took out my weapon, and
when he saw It. Mr. Wright begged mo
to throw It away. As I remember, ha
tried to take the weapon from my hand,
and we scuffled. I stood up and he was
sitting on tho couch. I had hold of tha
weapon when, with a sudden effort, ha
tore the revolver from my grasp. He fell
backward and I followed him. I managed
to get hold of the butt of the weapon,
he holding to the guard. As we strug
gled, the weapon was discharged, and,
bad as I felt from the liquor I had drunk.
I could not help crying out In horror
when I saw he was wounded. He fell
back on the sofa and gasped that he was
shot I laughed historically and told him
he was all right. He insisted he had
been wounded, and begged me to call a
doctor.
"I told him he was dreaming, and then
set about caring for him. I took a hand
kerchief from his pocket and attempted
to stanch the flow ot blood from his neck,
where the ball had entered. I saw at a
glance that the revolver had done deadly
work,- but I could not bring myself to tell
any one of the occurrence. I waited on
Mr. "Wright for two hours, possibly, be
fore I summoned a doctor I was so
overcome that I could not talk, and may
have said things I ought not to have
said, but the pressure I was laboring un
der was the excuse for my actions.
"The story that Mr. Wright cama to
my room in the Interest of a friend Is
false. He came to see me at my request
He had known me long enough to coma
at my least call. He was In good spirits
when he entered the room. We drank;
and talked of matters wh'ch concerned
ourselves. We had a pleasant conversa
tion until the revolver was. Introduced bRT
chance, and the struggle which ended la
his death."
