CROCKER CARED FOR
Made Revenue Collector for
Washington.
SENATOR FOSTER WINS VICTORY
TforthTrest Districts Are to Be Ke-Ar-
ransed-Ide'f Appointment as
Collector at Port To-rrnsend
Will Xovr Be Confirmed.
f
The great flght In the State of Wash
ington ocr the Port Townsend Collec
torship has been settled in a Ray Jn
which the leading candidates are both
recocnlzed. B. D. Crocker, or "Walla
"Walla. Is to be made Collector of In
ternal Revenue for Washington a dis
trict created out of territory heretofore
under an Oregon official with head
quarters at Tacoma. Clarence "W. Ide's
appointment as Collector at Port Town
eend. which has been held up by Sena
tor Foster, "will now be confirmed
Crocker Ttas the choice of roster, and
Ide of the John I. "Wilson faction of the
Republican party. The latter was also
strongly indorsed by Attorney-General
Knox, which Is doubtless the reason of
his success.
WASHINGTON, June 10. There is a big
victory for Senator Foster today In the
appointment of Benjamin D. Crocker, of
Walla Walla, to be Collector of Internal
Revenue for the District of Washington.
To accomplish this result Senator Foster
has had to have the internal revenue dis
tricts of the Pacific Northwest rearranged,
and to have Washington and Alaska-nade
a separate district, with headquarters at
Tacoma. Heretofore the district has been
known as the Orogon and Washington dis
trict. Now Oregon and Idaho and part
of Utah arc made a separate collection
district, with headquarters at Portland, as
heretofore, and the Collector In office is
not disturbed. His authority over appoint
ments in Washington ceases. That por
tion of Idaho and "Utah now included In
the Oregon district was formerly in the
Montana district, with headquarters at
Helena.
The whole matter has been kept quiet,
as everybody connected with it desired to
have the results accomplished before any
announcement should be made, and the
first intimation of the success of the plan
was the appointment of Crocker. This is
what Senator Foster has been contending
for all along He wanted Crocker to have
a place, and selected him for Collector of
Customs, the place to which Ide was ap
pointed. The President desired to con
tinue Ide in office, mainly on account of
the strong recommendation which Attorney-General
Knox has made concerning
his (Ide's) services as Marshal, and so
uppointed him Collector of the port. Sen
ator Foster was unwilling- that Ide should
have the office as long- as Crocker, his
friend, was unprovided for, and then came
the suggestion for rearrangement oftho
internal revenue districts with a view to
ha ing Crocker appointed Collector of the
Washington district. This having been ac
complished and Crocker named, it is prob
able that Ide's nomination will be favor
ably reported by the Senate committee on
commerce next Thursday, and will be
confirmed. Senator Foster held up Ide's
nomination up to this time, but has no de
clre to hold it up longer, and the nomina
tion will be confirmed without further ob
jection. (Internal Revenue Collector D. M. Dunne
was seen yesterday in regard to the di
vision of his district. He said he had
been aware that the division was to be
made, but had not known definitely that
Idaho and a part of Utah were to be in
cluded in the Oregon district. The di
vision will divide the receipts of his of
fice, but It was perfectly satisfactory to
him, as it will relieve him of a great deal
of responsibility In regard to Alaska, all
the revenue receipts from which section
came to Seattle. He did not suppose the
division will necessitate any change In his
office for the present, but probably the
force will be reduced eventually.
HANNA AND BURTON INCIDENT.,,
Scnntqr Declines to Allow It to Be
come n. National Affair.
WASHINGTON, June 10. Senator Hanna
declines to allow the Burton incident, in
Cleveland, to be made a National affair
rthlch will Involve him,, and It Is quite
probable that he has got power enough In
Ohio to prevent it from spreading to other
parts of the state. There always have
been two warring factions in Ohio. The
Foraker wing never could get along with
the Sherman wing. Hanna has fallen heir
to the John Sherman Influence, but -he
wields the strongest power, and the two
factions move along side by side, each
having a 'Senator and each having Rep
resentatives in Congress and Representa
tives on the state ticket. Squabbles con
stantly arise, and the Hanna men .here
say that is all there Is to the trouble in
Cleveland at the present lime. Burton's
position as chairman of the river and har
bor committee has given the matter some
prominence throughout the country, be
cause nearly every section knows him.
Neiv National Bank nt Barns.
The Controller of the Currency today
authorized the First National Bank of
Burns, Or., to begin business with a capi
tal of $25,000. John D. Daly will be presi
dent, and N. U. Carpenter cashier.
Reserve Affent for Everett Band.
The First National Bank of Chicago was
today designated reserve agent for the
First National Bank of Everett, Wash.
To Stop Grazing: on Reserve.
Senator Turner today introduced a bill
prohibiting the gracing of sheep in the
Mount Rainier forest reserve after Janu
ary 1 next. The Senator has been In
formed by farmers of the yaklma Valley
that such grazing Is rapidly destroying the
water supply on which they depend for Ir
rigation conditions, which he personally in
vestigated on his recent visit to the state.
He believes early legislation is necessary.
LcErnllxlnj? Drift Fences,
Senator Burton, of Kansas, has intro
duced a bill legalizing the erection of drift
fences on the public lands of the United
States, under the direction of the Presi
dent. Such fences, however, must be con
structed so as to permit the free passage
of sheep under them.
NO GOOD CHEER TO DEMOCRATS.
Oregon Election Kcgrarded as a
Republican Victory.
WASHINGTON, June 10. One of the
Democratic papers, the Indianapolis Sen-
tloel, discussing: the returns from Oregon,
speaks of It as "a message of good cheer
to the Democrats." Several Eastern pa
pers have taken it up. and ridicule the
suggestion, pointing out that it is a Re
publican victory, pure and simple. The
"Washington Post, an independent paper,
discussing the matter, this morning said
that many Oregon Republicans cast their
votes for the Democraitc" Gubernatorial
nominee, but "stood by their party and
policies, including the retention of sover
eignty over the Philippines by electing Re
publicans to Congress."
The Detroit Free Press, a Democratic
paper, says: "At every point where the
issues -were of a political nature the Re
publicans demonstrated that they retained'

CUBA3V SITUATION XOW ACUTE.
Poor Prospect for IesIslntion. at
This Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 10. The Cuban
reciprocity situation is becoming very
acute, and the prospects are not very good
for any legislation at this session. It is
understood that a movement Is on foot to
demonstrate that nothing can be done,
and even to compromise by appointing a
commission to investigate the conditions
in Cuba. Every effort made to secure a
majority of the Republicans for a straight
reciprocity proposition has failed, as there
are a large number of beet-sugar Republi
cans who are determined to vote to strike
out the differential if the bill ever comes
Into the Senate. Great pressure is being
brought to bear upon every man who is
known to oppose the Cuban reciprocity
bill, and it is believed it is having: some
effect, but leaders of the beet-sugar men
say they have enough men who will hold
out to prevent the passage of the bill If
it docs not offer terms satisfactory to
them.
STRIKE AT MANILA.
Its Extent Frightens Its Lender, "Who
Resigns.
i
MANILA, June 9. The strikes here are
becoming general. The printers, the
butchers, the tobacconists, the hemp
workers and the cigar-makers, estimated
in all to number over 7000 men, are out,
Isabelo de los Reyes, who organized the
strike movement, has become frightened
at the conditions which have resulted
from his efforts, and has resigned the
leadership. A dummy leader has been ap
pointed In his stead, but the strikers ad
mit that De los Reyes still Issues all or
ders. The majority of the strikers tell
their employers that they are satisfied
with their present wages, which are today J
three times higher than they were before
the Americans came to the islands, but
that they must obey orders, as otherwise
they will be killed. When De los Reyes
resigned, he said It was a matter of indif
ference to him whether the Americans
shot him on account of his efforts.
FINDINGS IN SMITH CASE.
Secretary Root Has Not Yet Had
Time to Consider It.
WASHINGTON. June 10. Secretary
Root said today he had not yet had time
to consider the case of General Js H.
Smith, tried by court-martial at Manila
for alleged violation of the rules of war
in the conduct of the campaign In Samar.
He added that as the Smith case was
based practically on the transactions
which led to the trial of Major Waller,
of the Marine Corps, by court-martial,
charged with alleged unlawful killing of
Filipino prisoners, ho would probably
await the receipt of the record of that
case before giving consideration to the
Smith case. The Waller record Is not ex
pected to reach this city for several
weeks.
It is said at the War Department that
the Waller case Is a closed Incident, but
that the Smith case will not be legally
closed until It has been finally acted upon
by the President. The significance of this
statement is that it is still in the power
of the President to return the case to the
court for the reconsideration of the evi
dence adduced, even if the officer was
acquitted by the -court, as the press dis
patches from Manila have Indicated. The
court could not be legally compelled to
change Its findings, however, against its
own judgment and its adherence to a ver
dict of "not guilty" would stand despite
the disapproval of the President, which
In that case- would be simply a rebuke
to the court without affecting the legal
status of the accused.
Bnencamlno at Charleston.
CHARLESTON, S. C. June 10. Fe
lipe Bucncamlno, formerly Secretiry of
War In Agulnaldo's Cabinet, reached this

wishes to obtain ideas relative to the cost
and plan of operation.

Tribute to Dr. Patton.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 10. Regard
ing the resignation of Professor Frapcls
L. Patton, of Princeton University, Presi
dent Angell, of the University of Michi
gan, said last night:
"I know Dr. Patton personally and I
have the utmost admiration for him. He
gained his great distinction by his emi
nence as a philosopher, theologian and
preacher. When he went to Princeton he
brought great strength and reputation.
The institution flourished under his care
and rapidly developed in every direction.
He had a very acute mind in the discus
sion of theological questions, and he, per
haps, prefers 'to give up administrative
duties which are necessarily arduous, and
return to the pulpit.

ROSTAND AS A PLAGIARIST.
Author of Cyrano Comments on
Chi en pro Injunction.
PARIS, June 10. Edmund Rostand, who
bad hitherto not made any statement re
garding the Judgment of the United, States
District Court of Chicago, granting Sam
uel Eberle Gross, the author of "Tho
Merchant Prince of Cornvillc' an In
junction against further performances of
"Cyrano de Bergerac" on the ground that
M. Rostand's play plagiarized situations In
Mr. Gross work, writes today a reply to
the Temps. M. Rostand, after! saying he
has always refused to take the affair sp
riously, but that some day, perhaps, he
may recount the serio-comic Incidents of
the suit against him, though actually
brought against another person, adds: !
"The Gross manuscript was twice pub- J
llshed - Paris, first in 1SS0, when I was 11
-years old; secondly. In 1837, when 'Cyrano' J
was known to all my friends. I only asK
to have In my hands a translation of tho
Chicago piece. I have written to my editor
to procure and publish it. In the mean
time I am ready to admit I took from
Cyrano de Bergerac his name and the
Panache Hotel from Burgundy; Baguenas
from a cookshop; Roxane kissing Cy
rano's words on Christian's lips from A
Voyage to the Moon, and the cadets of
Gascopny in fact all our 17th century his
toryfrom Eberle Gross, of Chicago, and
in order to end the matter once for all. I
confess I stole 'Les Romanesques' from
Smith t-on, cf Jefferson City, Mo.; 'La
Princesse Lertaine' from Giles Trumbull,
of Columbus. O.; 'L'AIglon' from 'Tom's
Sambo,' of Springfield, 111., and that I
drew the idea of 'La Samarltalne from
the Apocryphal Gospel of Rev. Hon.
Augustus Wonnacott, of Hartford, Conn.
"I add that I am negotiating at the
present moment with a Virginia planter
tor the purchase of a manuscript and that
I have just purloined from the house of a
Loulsl&na shipowner a great piece on
'Joan of Arc the Maid of Orleans.' "

UNDER HURRY ORDERS.
German Warships Hashed to Vene
zuelan "Waters.
ST. THOMAS, dTw. L, June 10. The
German cruiser Falke sailed for La Guay
ra, Venezuela, yesterday, and the Ger
man cruiser Gaselle sailed for the same
port today, under hurry orders from Ber
lin. WASHINGTON, June 10. In the absence
of any official advices on the subject, the
officials here are in the dark as to the
reasons for the hurried departure of Ger
man" warships for Venezuela, as reported
in the St. Thomas dispatch. Germany
has a big claim against Venezuela that
of the Berlin Company of Discount for
the nonperformance of engagements
which the Venezuelan Government had
undertaken in connection with the great
Venezuelan Railroad built by the govern
ment. The claim approximates 6,000,000
bolivars. One inference and it Is merely
that, as there Is no official confirmation
upon which to base the statement Is
that Germany has sent her vessels to La
Guayra to enforce the payment of her
claim, as Venezuela has not attempted t?
meet the obligation. The diplomatic cor
respondence of the State Department
shows that Germany has considered the
question of coercion In connection with
the payment of the claim.

has been made.
"There ought to be a full investigation,"
said Coroner Traeger, "and it may make
somebody uncomfortable. We will en

strapped down, as reported, and If there
was a sufficient number of attendants.
If any one of the deaths was'due to neg
ligence the guilty person or persons will
be made to pay the penalty."

deaths was that of Alderman "Blind
Billy" Kent. Not only was he blind, but
he has incased in a strait-jacket with
his hands strapped to his waist- Kent
was an astute politician, had been a mem
ber of the State Legislature and was a
delegate to the Republican conventions of
1684, 1S&8 and 1392. His blindness was duo
