SENATOR IS VERY HOPEFUL
He Believes South Only Went

OVERTURES TO CLEVELAND
Maryland Candidate Tries to Make
ex-President Believe He Is the -Logical
Candidate in Hopes
of Getting His Support.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash.,
June 25. An interesting Democratic com
bination has been formed, and is working
with a great deal of earnestness toward
a single purpose. It is to secure the nom
ination of Arthur P. Gorman, for Presi
dent, and John R. McLean, for Vice
President. Gorman comes from Maryland
and McLean from Ohio. Nominally both
are more Washington men than anything
else. Outside of McLean's" newspaper in
Cincinnati, all. of his large interests are
centered in Washington. Gorman has
been more of a Washington man than a
Maryland man for many years, although
he retains his residence In .Maryland, dif
fering from McLean, who -has two resi
dences in Washington. He scarcely ever
lives in Cincinnati.
Makes Overtures to Cleveland.
Not long ago Gorman sent some of his
trusted, lieutenants to the Intimate friends
of Grover Cleveland, assuring Cleveland
that he (Gorman) would give his earnest
and undivided support to Cleveland should
the latter consent to run for President,
and that all of the past, differences that
arose between Cleveland and Gorman dur
ing the last Democratic administration
would be wiped out, and that .Gorman,
in the Interest of rehabilitating the Dem
ocratic party, would loyally support the
former President. When this message
was sent, it was known that Cleveland
regarded himself as an Impossibility, and
his closest friends know that he is a
physical impossibility.
Some of them go so far as to say that
to accept the nomination for the Presi
dency and undertake the worries of a
Presidential campaign and a Presidential
term, would cost him his life, long before
tie could serve out his term. It Is gener
ally believed that Gorman sent the word
to Cleveland In order to secure the Cleve
land support for himself, and the friendly
Interests of Cleveland men who will be at
St. Louis When Gorman seeks the nomina
tion. But McLean figures In it still further.
McLean would prefer to be on the ticket
with Cleveland, because there would be
a greater opportunity for McLean to be
come President If Cleveland should be
elected and carry him through, than there
would be If Gorman were nominated. At
the same time, his closest political alii
nnce has been with Gorman, and he
knows that there is a bare possibility of
Gorman's nomination.
As to This Possibility.
Gorman stands a better chance of se
curing the nomination now than he ever
did before. There was a possibility of
his securing the nomination in 1S92, but
the overwhelming Cleveland strength, to
gether with strong men like William C.
Whitney, beat down every political bar-
. rler that Gorman raised to Cleveland's
nomination, and he made scarcely a rip
pie upon the convention. Just now it is
different. The Hearst and Bryan crowd
have scared the Democrats into support
ing Parker. By abuse of Parker, Bryan
has arrayed a great many conservative
Democrts in favor of the New York
Judge. Southern states, In order to de
feat Hearst, had to . have a candidate,
and they selected Parker as their man.
A great many states went so far as to
instruct for Parker in order to prevent
Hearst from gaining control of their dele
gations.
Now that delegates, have been chosen
there is some doubt about Parker being
able to secure the nomination, and In
case he is defeated after several ballots
to whom would the Democrats turn? Gor
man says they would turn to him, and
with a fairly strong nucleus to start with
he might be able to capture the South
ern states. That Is what he relies on,
and It is the scheme which Gorman and
McLean are playing to win at St. Louis.

NEW BOOM FOR M'CLELLAN.
New York Daily News Strongly Advo
cates His Nomination.
NEW YORK. June 25. The New
York Dally News; which has recently
changed hands, and has come out as a
straight Democratic newspaper and is

Mouley Ahmed, who headed the escort
sent to bring the prisoners to Tangier.
Moreover, France practically furnished
the. money from which the ransom was
paid, as the recent French loan of $12,500,
000 gave the Sultan the means to meet
Ralsuli's demand for 570,000 ransom.
The Raisuli incident is going to have an
Important effect on the adoption of a
Arm French policy toward Morocco. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
learns that definite steps have already
been taken to inaugurate French author
Ity. M. Delcasse has selected M. Ralndre,
the ex-French representative at Geneva,
td take up the organization of the Mo
roccan customs at the ports, Including
Tangier. The recent French loan to Mo
rocco is guaranteed by the customs re
ceipts. Therefore, M. Ralndre will over
see the customs administration. He Is
now organizing a large staff. The next
step will be the organization of French
police or gendarmerie at Tangier.
It appears by ail accounts, including
that of Perdicaris himself, as set down in
his letters, that he did not suffer undue
hardship; that lie was treated with kind
ness and consideration by Raisuli and
that he has no ill-feeling toward that, to
him, agreeable bandit. No sufficient rea
son exists why any further demands
should be made upon the Sultan of Mo
rocco either for Indemnity or the punish
ment of the kidnapers. If the Sultan
chooses to take vengeance upon Raisuli,
that is his own affair.

panied from London by ah English bar
rister, Henry Wellington Wack, has been
in Chicago, engaged in an examination of
court records-relating to the managing of
the estate in question by Mrs. Anne Jor
dan, widow of the capitalist.
Based on this investigation, sensational
charges are to "foliow in the courts re
garding an alleged attempt to deprive the
Milns of the share of the Jordan estate
allotted to the daughter by the will, and
collusion and an alleged conspiracy dis
covered by chance, by the defendants.
In substance the plaintiffs charge that
for 16 years the Income from the Jordan
estate has not been rightfully distributed,
and the sums of money forwarded from
Chicago to the daughter in London have
been Insignificant compared to those tar
which' she was rightfully entitled.

Detroit Man Who Shot Girl and Then
Leaped to Death, Left a Letter.
DETROIT, June 25. Charles Swayne
eidently Intended to kill Miss Effle Al-
vord when he asked her to meet him at
his office here yesterday, and then kill
himself. This Is proven by a letter which
he left for his wife and which was made
public today. This letter Is addressed to
"Darling Wife and Children," and opens
as follows:
"Forgive me for this last terrible act
of my life. God knows I love you dearly.
but our once happy home Is ruined by my
own weakness and the plotting of malic
ious enemies."
The letter then tells how friends had
failed him, and "turned the cold shoul
der": says that "she" was only a tool in
the hands of his enemies, and concludes
with a warning to his wife to be careful
of any money that come to her, and asks
her to try and teach his little girls to
think kindly of their father..
Miss Alvord, who was shot by Swayze
before he plunged from the llth-story
window. Is In no danger.

NEW YORK, June 25. The budget for
19(5 contains appropriations of $4,680,000 for
the extension of the foreign debt, says a
Herald dispatch from Valparaiso, Chile.
The President has asked Congress to post

for the omission after that date of J9.000,
000 paper guaranteed by a latgely In
creased gold reserve. The conversion was
to have been carried out next January,
but the postponement Is assid for by
the President because of the unprepared
ness of the country and because a certain
amount of the conversion fund was used

W10NGLY TAKEff TOE 10QJOS,
Name of Ellis and Missing American
Were Confused.
PARIS. June 25. The whereabouts of.
Kent J. Loomis, brother of the American
Assistant Secretary of State Francis B.
Loomis. who disappeared shortly berore or
after the arrival of the North German
Lloyd steamer Kalier Wllhelm II at
Plymouth. June 29; remains in the same
state of doubt as yesterday. The officials
who are conducting the search .for the
missing man, say there is no truth In the
report published by a London newspaper
to the effect that Loomis turned up nere
yesterday. The announcement probably
resulted from confusing the names of
Loomis and W. H. Ellla Thejatter sailed
from Marseilles this afternoon ior
Abyssinia.
NOW SEARCHING HOSPITALS.
Consul-General Evans Doing Every
thing to Locate Loomis.
LONDON. June 23. The mystery which
surrounds the disappearance of Kent J.
Loomis is no nearer a solution. Not a
solitary clew as to his whereabouts . has
resulted from nearly, a week's widespread
Investigation ConsuUGeneral Evans and
the assistant consuls liave made and are
still maldng- all possible inquiries, but
without the faintest trace of the missing
man.
The statement of Gustav Flamm, of San
Francisco, a passenger on the Kaiser Wll
helm II, that he saw Loomis at Plymouth,
Is so far uncorroborated. The American
Consul at that port says the Board of
Trade figures, which presumably tally
with the number of passengers who came
off the steamer, show that 158 persons
landed, all of whom Rave their names,
These tally with the passenger list, and
Loomis' name Is not among them.
At the request of Consul-General
Evans, the hospitals at Plymouth are
new beinsr searched. Scotland Yard
also has the matter in hand, and the
English papers, especially the local pa
pers at Plymouth, give prominence to
the American's di3aoDeafance. so If
Loomis Is In EnglanH and in possession
of his faculties he could scarcely fall
to- know he is being looked for.
The authorities here are unable to
form even a conjectural explanation of
Loomis' disappearance. The theory that
Mr. Loomis fell overboard finds no sup
port, and tho suggestion that he may
have unintentionally disembarked at
Plymouth is how regarded as quite out
of the question.
The utter failure of all efforts here
and oh the Continent to discover, any
trace of the missing- man excites much
Interest and no little apprehension
among the large class of the public
taking- trans-Atlantic voyages or whose
friends often cross the Atlantic.
Tho circumstances connecting Loomis
with the Abyssinian treaty create espe
cial interest here, as the sphere of in
fluence of that country is one of the
matters especially engaging the atten
tltin of European diplomats, and as an
nounced in these dispatches is one of
the subjects of which exchanges of con
fidential communications are occurring
between Great Britain and Russia.
Ellis Also in Ignorance.
MARSEILLES. June 25. The Messaser-
les Marltlmea steamer Oxus sailed this
afternoon for Abyssinia with W. J. Ellis,
carrying the box containing the commer
cial treaty between the- United States and
Abyssinia on board. Mr. Ellis was ac
companied by a secretary and a servant-
Careful inquiry aboard the ship and at
the offices of the company showed that
Kent J. Loomis was not aboard the ves
sel. So far as can be ascertained the
whereabouts of Mr. Loomis is not known
to Mr. Ellis. The Consulate here is also
without information.
House Defeats Motion to Censure.
OTTAWA, Oht, June 25. The House to
day divided on a motion to censure Syd
ney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture, for
the infusion of. politics Into military af
fairs In the dismissal of Lord Dundold.
The vote was 42 for and 84 against .
APOLOGY NOT SUFFICIENT.
France Thinks Hayti Is Making Light
of Attack on Minister.
PARIS, June 25. Haytl's apology for
the insult to the French Minister at Port
Au Prince, M. Deprez, who was stoned
by the palace guards recently, has been
received by the Foreign Office, but does
not give satisfaction. It appears to seek
to make light of the Incident. The onl
clals here are not disposed to assume a
belligerent attitude toward a small power,
but they expect Hayti adequately to real
ize and redress the offenses. This con
tributed to the decision to send a war
ship to Haytlen waters.
Orders have been issued to the, com
mander of the French squadron at Fort
de France, Island of Martinique, to de
tach a warship for Port Au Prince. Be
sides securing redress this ship will as
sist in the protection of foreigners who
are constantly menaced by the anti
foreign element. However, the officials
do not expect the Incident to take on a
serious aspect, as it is understood that
Hayti Is ready to concede everything that
France is likely to ask.
