FOR OLNEY TO DECIDE
Existing Complications With
Foreign Governments.
A SERIOUS ONE WITH ENGLAND
Ths Is the British-Venesuelan Ques
tion, Because of Its Involving;
the Monroe Doetriue-
Washington, June 11. Secretary of
State Olney is expected to take the oath
of office tomorrow. There will be no
undue haste, however on the part of
the new chief of the state department.
Mr. Olney has given much close study
to the larger law questions before his
department and it will take some time
for him to put the work aside and for
the new attorney-general to grow into
it Mr. Olney, moreover, is equipped
in advance for the duties of his new
office, as he has been consulted con
stantly during the last year on the
various complications over Venezuela,
Nicaragua, Behring sea, the Waller
oase, foreign tariff retaliation,Jthe Japanese-Chinese
troubles, Spain'soonflict
with Cuba, and the lesser questions in
which the United States has been
brought in relation with the rest of the
world. .
The last year has been -unusually
fruitful in foreign complications.
Some of these were closed by Mr.
Oresham, or advanced to such a state
that they will not require much further
attention. Among these were the Brit-ish-Nicaraguan
incident, in which the
United States aided toward a settler
ment; the Japan-China treaty of peace,
which was effected as a result of the
kindly intervention by the United
States,' and the friction with Hawaii
as the result of the demand for the re
call of Minister Thurston. The other
foreign questions which attracted pub
lic attention during Mr. Gresham's ad
ministration of the department are still
pending. With Great Britain there
are two questions of importance to be
adjusted, those affecting Behring sea
and the Vennezuelan - boundary. - A
Behring sea conference will be held in
Washington in October next, Sir Julian
Pauncefote having effected the prelim- j
inary arrangements with Mr. Gresham.
The purpose is to draft s new treaty by
which the claims of Canadian sealers
for allegd seizures and losses will be
submitted to a commission. The con
ference will not take up the more im
portant question of readjusting the
Behring sea regulations in order to
make them-effective. . This will come
44a ter; howover.and promisas to call cut
k V IgViUIW ty IU1U vUUSUb(lAW
versy. .'-.'A'-. j
The British-Venezuelan question is
mainly significant - in -involving the
Monroe doctrine. The .United States
has asked Great Britain to arbitrate the
question. So far as is known no defi
nite answer has been made to Ambassa
dor Bayard, who presented the request
of this country. The British foreign
office has positively declined to oonsider
similar requests by Pope Leo and by
the International Arbitration Associa
tion, and it is not doubted that in due
time s declination will come to the
United States. It will then remain for
the state department to determine to
what extent British aggression in Ven
ezuela is compatible with the Monroe
doctrine. Mr. Gresham had made a
special study of the subject, regarding
it as of more importance than any of
the foreign questions under considera
tion. Mr. Olney was called into con
ference, and for several weeks prior
to his selection for the secretary of state
he was busy investigating this compli
cated question. It is probable that a
definite issue will be reached when
Ambassador Bayard sends Britain's
answer.
With France the only question of
consequence pending is as to the im
prisonment of ex-Consul-General Wal
ler. Ambassador Eustis has been in
structed to make inquiries with a view
of securing for Waller all the rights of
an American citizen abroad, including
a trial by a civil court.
Germany, Austria and Denmark are
having numerous tariff complications
with the United States which threaten
ed at one time to bring about radical
retaliation by this country. . The read
justment has proceeded largely through
the state department. Germany and
Denmark continue their exclusion of
American meats, but there are pros
pects that a satisfactory settlement
will be effected. The discriminating
duties levied against the beet sugar of
Germany and Austria brought on the
conflict and Denmark followed the lead
of her influential neighbors.

TAR AND FEATHERS.
A Walla Walla Benedict and Bis Dusky
Bride Coated.
Walla WaHa,. Wash., June 11.
Early this morning fifty masked men,
heavily armed, took Joseph Fossati and
Robie Allen, a colpred woman who
runs a house of ill repute, and gave
them a coat of tar and feathers. ' Soon
after midnight the men, all wearing
masks over their faces,.- went - to the
house occupied by the woman in an
alley between Main and Rose streets.
A haok followed them and stopped in
front' of the house.' The men broke
open the door. They dragged Fossati
and the woman from the bed, and car
ried them to the hack, which was
driven rapidly to the outskirts of the
city. The clothes of the two were torn
off, and a heavy coat of tar. and feath
ers applied. The two were then order
ed to leave the city.
The job was well planned and exe
cuted. The thoroughfare through
which the hack passed was thoroughly
guarded by armed, men, and any at
tempt to stop them would have been
futile. Two minutes after their noise
less approach they were out of sight,
and before a large number of spectators
recovered from their astonishment.
Fossati is the son of a highly re
spected family, and has had more than
average advantages ox life. ie nas
persisted in living with this woman.
Friday they went to Dayton and were
married. . They returned here Satur
day. Mrs. D. Fossati, the mother of
Young Fossati, is prostrated with grief
and is in a precarious condition.
THE MAXIM , MACHINE GUN.
Given an Official Test by the Govern
ment at Sandy Hook.
New York, June, 11. The govern
ment steamer Ordnance took a cargo of
experts and others to the government
proving ground at Sandy Hook yester
day, and an official test of the Maxim
machine gun, whioh can be fired 600
times a minute, was made. First of
all Mr. Huber. fired fifty shots. The
little feat occupied 5 4-5 seconds. The
light gun is used by the infantry. It
is important to learn how quickly it
can be taken from the packing case and
put into action. Expert Huber . hung
it over his shoulder in marching order,
and, . at a word from Captain Hatch,
he began to take out the gun. - He put
it together, unpacked his cartridges
and fired his first shot fifty-eight sec
onds after the alarm was given. . For
a third test a duplicate set was put up,
and the first shot was fired in 36 2-5
seconds. The fourth test was changing
barrels in action. ,r Th;5 time ' between
the last shot with, the--sold barrel and
first with ghe aewftwasJQ minute
? The National Banks. i-.' !
Washington, June 11. The abstracts
of the report by the controller- of the
currency, showing the condition of all
the national banks of the United States
May 7, shows the total resources to be
$3,510,491, an increase of $31,499,952
since March 5, when the last call was
made. The amount of loans and dis
counts increased from $1,951,846,833
to $1,976,604,445. The lawful reserve

000), of whioh $177,000,000 was gold
coin and gold certificates, $41,000,000
silver and silver certificates and $145,
000,000 legal tenders. The amount of
individual deposits had increased from
$1,667,845,886 to $1,690,961,399. The
showing is considered good. - The loans
and discounts increased about $2 5,000, -000
and deposits about $21,000,000.
The gold holdings are practically un
changed. -- ' - '
Workmen and Police.
Vienna, June 11. The long expect
ed conflict between workmen and po
lice took place today.-. Ten thousand
laborers gathered on the streets of the
city according to preconcerted arrange
ment, and Deputy Pernerstorger and
other socialist leaders made speeches to
the crowd. - Upon the arrival of the
police they declared the meeting ille
gal, and requested the audience to dis
perse. The crowd noisily separated,
but the arrest of a man named Feigl
caused a collision between the police
and socialists, who tried to rescue the
prisoner, ihe police were stoned, and
many small fights occurred in various
portions of the city all the morning.
One mounted inspector had his uni
form torn form him and was nearly
pulled off his horse. Another inspector
was thrown and kicked in the abdo
men. Three policemen were injured
by stones. . Nineteen socialists have
been placed under arrest.

OLNEY S APPOINTED.
The Attorney-General Named for the
Secretary of State.
Washington, June 10. President
Cleveland has annonnced the following
cabinet appoinments:
Secretary of state, Richard Olney, of
Massachusetts; attorney-general, Jud
son Harmon, of Cincinnati.
The announcement, which was made
late this afternoon, created no surprise
here, for it has been well understood
for several days that Olney would suc
ceed to the first place in the cabinet,
made vacant by the death of Secretary
Gresham.
The president at one time contem
plated other changes in his cabinet and
a rearrangement of several portfolios,
and in this- connection consideration
was given to the transfer of Secretary
Smith to the department of justice, but
this and other transfers were finally
abandoned, and the president concluded
that the simplest plan would be merely
to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Ol-
ney's promotion.
The appointment of Judge Judson
Harmon, of Cincinnati, as attorney
general, came in the nature or a sur
prise. His name had not even been
canvassed as among the probabilities.
There is the best authority for the
statement that the president had sev
eral names under consideration, and
that the portfolio of justice might have
been had by James C. Carter, of New
York, and by Frederick R. Coudert, of
New York, had they been disposed to
accept
Secretary Carlisle knows Judge Har
mon personally, and admires and re
spects his ability.' It was he, probably,
who first presented his name to Presi
dent Cleveland. Ex-Governor Camp
bell, of Ohio, a close friend of Judge
Harmon, also warmly supported "him,
and the president also secured from ex
Governor Hoadley, of Ohio, who is
now living in New York, and whose
law partner Mr. Harmon was, most
favorable reports as to his ability and
standing. After canvassing the situa
tion thoroughly, the president offered
the portfolio to Judge Harmon by wire
this afternoon, and immediately upon
reoeiving a favorable reply announced
the appointments.
Something; About OIney's Successor.
Cincinnati, June 10. When the ap
pointment of Judge Judson Harmon
became known here, attorneys from
the courts and their offices rushed to
the office of Harmon, Colestone, Gold
smith & Hoadley to congratulate the
new attorney-general and ask for a
date for a farewell dinner from the bar.
Judge Harmon said he had received a
letter from President Cleveland today
and replied to it by wire. ;. He had',, no
knowledge of his appointment till ad
vices by the press dispatches. He
went to Columbus tonight on business
and does not know when he will go to
Washington. Judge Harmon is not
only recognized as one of the foremost
lawyers and jurists in the state, but
also as one of the most popular citizens
of Ohio. '
He was born near this city 49 years
ago. uincinnati has always been his
home and he is known by alL His
father, the RevT B. F. Harmon, was a
Baptist minister, well known through
out the Ohio valley. Young Harmon
graduated at Denison university, ' a
Baptist institution at Granville, Ohio,
in 1866, and began the practioe of law
in Cincinnati in 1869. He was a Re
publican until 1872, when he "Gree-
leyized." As a Democrat he was
elected common pleas judge on the
Tilden ticket in 1876. He was elected
superior judge in 1878, re-elected in
1883, and when ex-Governor George
Hoadley went to New York in 1887
Judge Harmon resigned from the bench
to become the head of the firm of Har
mon, Coldstone, Goldsmith & Hoadley,
which represent8many railroads and
other corporations and with which firm
he will continue his connection.
When Judge Harmon resigned, in 1887,
Governor Foraker appointed Judge
William Taft, now United States cir
ouit judge and formerly solicitor-gen
eral to the vaoany.
Mrs. Harmon is an accomplished
lady, the daughter of the late Dr. Sco
bey, of Hamilton. They have three
daughters, Mrs. Edman Wright, jr., of
Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth, a recog
nized society leader, and Margerie, the
youngest of the family, . who is 14
years old
The Decision Denounced at Omaha.
Omaha, June 11. A mass meeting
of the workingmen of Omaha was held
this evening to take action on the re
cent refusal of the supreme court to
grant a writ of habeas corpus in the
case of Eugene V. Debs. The hall was
packed with workingmen. Speeches
were made by August Bierman, the
Rev. Alexander F. Irvine and "Gen
eral" Kelly, of industrial army re
nown. The following resolution, offer
ed by Kelly, was adopted:
"Resolved, That we, the working-
men of Omaha, in mass meeting assem
bled, denounce the action of the court
as arbitrary and unjust and calculated
to destroy the confidence of the masses
in the- integrity of the judiciary of the
United States." .

AN EXPEDITION TO SAIL AT 0NCK
To Start From a Point South of Charles-
ton and to Be Complete In
Every Particular.
Fernandina, Fla., June 8. The mas
ter stroke of the Cuban revolutionary
movement in this country will occur
within three days. The principal lead
ers of the party in the United States
gathered at Jacksonville two days ago,
but yesterday quietly slipped over here
and took carriages and" went to Ocean
Beach, where they stopped at the
Strathmore hotel. From an adjoining
room a correspondent overheard the
whole of the deliberations, which began
at 8 P. M. and lasted until a late hour.
As appeared from the conversation,
most of the expeditions hitherto have
gone from San Domingo, but the next
bold move must be from the United
States south of Charleston. A fleet of
light-draught vessels could get unno
ticed through Bahama channel, and.
then at night make short runs for the
northern coast of Cuba, where there
are many bays easy of access for an ex
pedition, and poorly guarded. The
plans of the insurrectionists, so far as
completed, axe as follows:
"That as all plans for the carrying
on of the insurrection in Cuba have
heretofore worked most satisfactorily,
the western half being ripe for rebel
lion, the consulting board has deoided
that the expedition should be made
ready at once; that it should sail from
a point be w teen Brunswick, Ga. , and
Mayport, Fla. ; that it should be com
manded by Colonel Enrique Collao, the
war-scarred veteran of . 1868-78, and
that the fleet should be guarded by
three newly-built torpedo boats of the
latest pattern, of great speed and man
ned by experienced seamen. Lieuten
ant Tomas Collao is to be the staff offi
cer, and Colonel Collao's small army
is to be recruited from the Cubans in
the United States and picked Ameri
cans from the Southern states. Men
already collected by Henry Brooks,
who is now in New York city, and who
is to accompany the expedition as a
member of Colloa's staff, are also to be
enrolled. Colloa is to land the expedi
tion at some point in the province of
Puerto Principe, where forces collected
by Gomez and. Marti will co-operate.
The expedition is to land in Cuba with-'
in thirty dayr-v--7ii
In addition to this plan of operation,
general infomation was given during
the deliberations. The province of Pi-
nas del Orras has risen, and the insur
gents have made more progress in the
present rising of three months' dura
tion than was made in the seven years
commencing in 1868. it is believed
that within a month the whole island
will be in arms for the Cubans, and
that Captain-General Campos is exert
ing every effort to be recalled to Mad
rid before the arrival of the disaster,
whioh he believes is sure to overwhelm
the Spanish armies in Cuba very soon,.
It was stated moreover, that Jose Marti
would be in Florida within the next
ten days.
More of Paul Schulze.
Taooma, June 7. J. O. Armour and
P. D. Armour, jr., of Chicago, filed to
day in the federal court a petition al
leging that the late Paul Schulze
fraudulently and collusively conspired
with the Northwest Thomson-Houston
Electric Company to transfer to it
stocks and bonds of the Tacoma Rail
way & Motor Company, without re
ceiving full consideration; that for $1,
250,000 bonds of face value and a large
block of stock, the street railway com
pany received in money and property
only $800,000. They claim that
Schulze paid the electric company
$350,000 for the Steilacoom road, a su
burban line worth but $60,000. On
account of these transactions they de
clare the company has an equitable off
set against the Thomson-Houston Elec
tric Company of $746,000, and ask that
the amount due it and its assignees on
the bonded indebtedness be reduced by
that amount The bonded debt is $1,
350,000. . The Armours are stockhold
ers and do not want to see the stock
wiped out
.. German Vessel Fired on the Chinese.
Hong Kong, June 8. Advices from
Taipeh Fu, Formosa, describe affairs
in that town as still in a chaotic con
dition. The native quarter has been
burned. During the conflagration a
magazine exploded killing ninety Chi
nese. The German gunboat Itlis fired
on the Chinese forts at Hobe, presuma
bly because a merchant steamer with
Tang, the former president of the so
called republic of Formosa,' on . board
with a number of refugee Chinese sol
diers, was not allowed to leave. The
forts were silenced by the fire of the
gunboat Subsequently the merchant
steamer proceeded. The British cruiser
Rainbow left this morning.
