VTA KErtBLICAnS MIXED AS TO COLD WATEB
rFKOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
Washington", June SO. The address of
e Republicans of Philadelphia, which was
ecially marked by antagonism to Senator
lay, attracted little attention in official
I'lcs here to-day, possibly because most of
e Republicans here believe in the machine
at wins victory and for the party and the
iff, no matter if that machine occasion
y is apparently worked for personal fld
ltage. Colonel Thomas 3L Bayne, who will dc
rt for a prolonged stay abroad on the 12th.
I illy, was one of the Republicans who
iked freely on the subject, and he said to
correspondent of The Dispatch:
tVhy, anyone can see with half an ej e that
lis is the same old kick once again. In
ft, some of the kickers have become so
ronic and wild as to be classed witli the
mocrats, and have recently been almost
ked out by the kickers, who still try to
ivince themselves that they are Repub-
ns. Those that are not of the same old
w d of chronics are persons who are nn-
own as either Republicans or Democrats,
d may be classed as willing to appear
cvwhere to get their names in the news-
pcrs.
Xo Necessity for Ballot Reform.
Now, I am out of politics and have no
ect in posing as the champion of any
Iv or any faction; but so far as the ballot
rm question intrudes in this matter let
hay that Pennsylvania hag bid a most
irable ballot system for j ears, but in
c of this, in response to a senseless call
a (.enseltss change, the Legislature
led for a Constitutional Convention to
l
ike the change, or, at least, to discuss a
ange, abolishing the numbering system,
ch has been a constant and effectual
cntive of fraud, simply on account of a
nd which could give no good reason for
itii being. Even if successful the
ge will result in nothing of benefit.
law in existence is ample if it were
.lv enforced. These kicks are simply the
ork of enemies of the party and of the
otective tariff And those who mis
tcnly support them will have to answer
it in future years.
A Commotion in the Quaker City.
A. telegram from Philadelphia sas: The
-publican machine has not been so badly
rn up in a long time as it was to-dav over
e publication of the address to the citizens
Pcnns ivanla by HO leading ltcpubllcan
tizens on the causes of the present degrada-
Bn of the party. All tho managers were
animous in the opinion that something
ust be done and done at once to, if pos-i-
. counteract tho effect of the address,
ich was all the more startling from tho
t that comparatively few of the signers
e been heretofore recognized as lndo
iidents. The great bulk of them have
en accustomed to walk up and vote tho
rir ticket straight without any audible
owling.
t was generally agreed that ex-state
airman Thomas V. Cooper, Collector of
t Tort, was tho best man to make reply.
C oopcr consequently locked himself up
ISth his private secretary in his office in tho
.torn House, and after several noun,'
bor evolved a document which was gl en
it as an intcrwew. In part lie said:
'It is timely, altogether too timely, if tho
rposo is to ruin rather than to correct; it
cs a doubt in every practical mind if the
i purpose is to injure rather than to cor-
ct. Else why call Into review the acts of a
nator who voted right upon every great
blic question before Congress the elec
n bill, the tanir and silver. Count the
mbcr of importers and their attorneys in

A Charge of Insincerity.
It is insincere, since it charges Senator
j with being responsible for bad officers.
,e tho nomination of Delamater. tho ono
; spot in the State. lie favored that nom
tlou. I opposed it, as did many of the
lwart Republican,. We finally persuaded
tutor Quay that the nomination of Gen
1 Hastings w ould be best for tho party,
I when he yielded soiuo of these gentle
n came out in an independent and reform
li ess, declaring that Delamater w as the
man who could best be elected, and
so forces over-persuaded Senator Quay to
irn to his first thought, so that the rc
nsibility of that calamity rests quite as
ch, if not more, with these gentlemen
w ith Senator Quay.
If these gentlemen, instead of lending
ir names to every address w Inch comes
mg, would enter politics actively and
k to make themselt es alwnj s loj al to the
rty and its organization, thej would do
od. The stand-off plan ot shooting ad
es'es at individual leaders will neverlead
a political heaven. Tho barbarian w ho
ed to mount to the clouds on the skeletons
als victims failed in the attempt. Wisdom
nld suggest that it is better to build than
tear down. The chief folly of tne ad
ss is its opposition to one whoso acts can-
be witely passed upon unless he is a Can
ute for re-election to the United States
aate. These acts have no place in politics
til 1633, or tho campaign of 1892, at the car
t. Really Assisting the Democracy.
Tho autl.ors of that address could not
e better served the purposes of tho
nocracy than to open the Senatorial bat
'wo years in advance. See the folly of
The re6ult expected is to give the State
Philadelphia to the Democracy this
id, that done, to give 'it to Pattlson
- lall at least to boom him lor the Pres
ley. That may not be the plan, but no
cr result can find intelligent antlcipa
u. Do not these gentlemen see that nest
year the issues will be higher than Quay,
higher than State or city they will ly na
tional.and willinvolvo tariff and reciproc
ity." Hon. George E. Mapes, Chairman of tho
Independent Republican State Committee,
Bald: "Collector Cooper is mlstakon in as
serting that any considerable number of the
gentlemen whoso names wero signed to the
address urged Dclamater's nomination. It
is possible a few of them may have been
misled into favoring his nomination,
although I do not know that nny of them
did. 1 do know that a largo majority of
them were, like Collector Cooper, opposod
to his nomination, and that a number of
them carried their opposition to tho ballot
box, w hich Collector Coopor did not.
More Mistakes Made by Cooper.
, "There may have been quite a number of
tho Independents of l'K! who tried to in
duce Quay to stick to his original intention
of nominating Delamater, but If so they did
not sign to-day's appeal. Collector Cooper
is mistaken in his charge that the signers of
the appeal desiro to defeat tho ticket this
fall. lam acquainted with a good many of
the signers and know that their solo object
19 to secure tho nomination of a ticket of
such high character that no Republican will
bo justified in opposing It.
"As to his charge that tho chief folly or
tho address is its opposition to Senator Quay,
who will not bo a candidate for re-election
until 1833, the answer to that is that if these
gentlemen desire Mr Quay's defeat it would
be the height of folly to wait until he had
nominated and elected a majority of the
members of the Legislature pledged to his
election before they began their campaign
against him. Senator Quay has begun his
campaign for re-election already and he will
spend his days and nights from this tlmo
forth to this end. Ho will probably ltko
nothing better than to havo nls opponents
go to sleep until he has secured the nec
essary legislative votes, but if they mean
business they will not allow tho Senator to
plan their campaign for them."

Tho Old Prohibition .Flank "Will Bo Re

With the Lawless Classes.
SPECIAL TELEOUAII TO THE DISPATCH.
Cedar Rat-ids, Ia June 30. There is going
to be a very warm tlmo here to-morrow.
The Republican State convention, which
convenes here, will doubtless bo ono of the
most exciting in tho history of tho State.
Tho city is full of delegates and the atmos
phere is surcharged with gossip from the
poww owe.
Whilo great interest is taken In the elec
tion of a State tlckot, the making ot the
platform is the all-sorbing question. There
will doubtless bo a pretty struggle between
the Liberal and Conservative Republicans
on the prohibition question and some dele
gations havo. declared their intention of
withdrawing from the convention in case a
prohibition plank is adopted. On the other
hand some delegates proposo withdrawing
if such a plank is omitted. The general
opinion is that tho old plank will be re
tained.
Most of tho nominations arc assured in ad
vance. Governor Hiram C. Wheeler, of Ode
bolt, Sao county, will be nominated on the
first ballot. This has not been apparent
until this evening, but eicry well-informed
politician to-night concedes this result. The
other candidates for this nomination are
Ren F. Clayton, a farmer and stock raiser of
Pottowatami county, and ex-Congressman
Dan Korr, of Grundy county.
At a meeting to-day of tho State Central
Committee prominent party leaders, includ
ing Senator Allison and the Republican con
gressmen, the subject matter ot to-morrow's
platform was discussed in an informal way
at considerable length. Means for a less
expensive enforcement of the prohibitory
statute will bo recommended and the Demo
cratic party and Democratic bounty and
city officials generally will be arraigned for
"Connivance with the lawless classes in tne,
violation and nullification of the prohibi
tory law."
The hnanoial question Is tho subject of
much discussion, but the leaders of tho
party counsel the mere indorsement of tho
recent act of Congress with tho further dec
laration that free coinage should bo ex
tended to the limit of American output, as
oon as the financial necessities of the coun
try may justify. This will be the substance
of the party's position upon this question.

DELUGED WITH TIN PLATE.
Tho Now Duty on the Article
Went Into
Effect at Midnight.
SFECIU. TELEGRAM TO THE PISPATCH.
New York, Juno 30. To-day was the last
day for tho importation of tin plate unUer
tho old tariff. Tho new tariff went into effect
nt 3 o'clock to-day. The now duty is 2.2 cents
a pound. The old duty was 1 cent a pound.
Tho Importers of tin plate have been strain
ing c cry nervo in the last month or so to
get in heavy importations under the old
tariff. In the last month over 50,000 tons
lm o been rushed in. The voluo of this tin
plate is put at $3,000,000. Tho Custom House
figures for the last week show that tho im
portations and withdrawals of tin plate have
aggregated $1,000,000. Special Deputy Collec
tor Couch has had many visitors to-day Who
thought that tin plate already on tho way
ought to como in at the old rate. Mr. Couch
and tho Collector hold differently.
Chief Clerk of Customs Couch said this
morning that ho had no figures at hand to
Judge oven approximately of tho amount of
tin plate in bond or which has arrived in
this country within the past few days, but
the number of cases filled with tin which
have entered to-day and yesterday is
enormous. From the mountains of cases on
the European steamship docks, it would
seem that tho vessels had discardedall other
freight on the other side and sailed for this
port with full cargoes of tin. Many vessels
crossed the water a day ahead pf their
schedule time. Tho Importers matio it an
object for the steamship companies to make
tin plato a preferred cargo.
A MILLIONAIRE'S DIVORCE.
The Story of How It Was Obtained In San
Francisco Leaks Out.
SrFCIAL TELFGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
San FraiiCisco, June 30. Tamos C. Jordan,
the Boston millionaire, came hero in April,
1890, and bought a tract of 50acreslntho
thq suburbs for 1500,000. It was said, at the
time, that he intended to muko Frisco his
homo, but after about one year's residenco
ho left for the East. It has just leaked out,
however, that the chief object of his visit
was to secure a divorce from his wife.
Several days ago Jordan was granted a di
vorce from his wifo, Helen, on the ground of
desertion. Little evidence was taken, and
it is doubtful whether tho decree will stand
should tho defendant contest it. The record
shows that the litigants agreed to a separa
tion three years ago, tho wifo being allowed
the furniture of their Beacon street house to
furnish her house on Marlboro street. She
was given full control of two daughters and
waived all claims on her husband in consid
eration of a trust deed for $100,000. After
this compact was made, Jordan came here,
and soon after IiIb arrival wrote letters to
his wife annuling the previous compact and
commanding her to come to 'Frisco and as
sume marital relations with him. She re
fused. Hence the suit and divorce.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSPATCH.
San Frascisco, June 30. Another element
has been added to the suffering at Salton,
tho lowest point "of tho flooded dis
trict of tho Colorado desert. ,The
heat on the desert Is terrific, as the
mercury marked H5 at 5 o'clock this after
noon, and only Indians can endure exortlon
under tho rays of this fierce sun. An Indian"
runner has been sent out with instructions,,
to find where the water leaves tho Colorado
river, is such be the case, and to make a
thorough examination as to how it possos
through tho sand hills and reaches thOj
desert.
It is bolieved that the water leaves tho
river Just nbbvo Pilot Knob, near Yuma,
nearly CO miles from Salton, nnd works its
way through tho dry sand onto the low
ground en. this side of tho river. It will
probably take two or three days for tho In
dian to make his report. A H-foot boat
with two sailors was sent from San Pedro to
Salton this evening. From that point the
boat, provisioned for a week's cruise, will
sail south and attempt to reach tho source of
the flow, while the Indian runner follows
the bank of tho river from Yuma.
Water Rising From the Ground.
Old residents about Yuma think that
the overflow from the Colorado river
into New river explains the canso
of the subterranean riso about Salton. The
flood of last February washed away a small
hill belonging to tho range between the
Colorado and Xow rivers about 15 miles
southwest of Yuma. New river is a river
only in name, being merely a dry channel,
with a grade toward tho sink in the desert,
in which Salton is situated.
Colorado and Now rivers are only a few
miles apart at tho point west of Yuma re
ferred to. The Indians have an Irrigation
ditch from tho Colorado whioh discharges
waste water into Algodones slough, eventu
ally working its way into tho New river.
Owing to the washing away of tho sand hill,
a largo stream of water is now running from
the Colorado through Algodones slough lntq
Xew river.
The Colorado, which is high now, owing to
tho melting snow at the headwaters, is 140
foot above sea lovel at Yuma. Salton is 203
feet below sea level, and Is 97 miles north
and the lowest point below the sea level on
the railroad. Snouldhe Colorado continuo
to cut its banks west of Yurca, it Is not un
likely that a considerable flow of water may
reach tho neighborhood of Salton.
Weeks Coming; Through the Desert.
In the great flood of 18C3 two ferries had to
be maintained across Xew river. Tho water
evidently has taken weeks to' percolate
through this desert, for It first appeared at
the salt works, near Salton, just one week
ago. Finding it was 25 per cent salt. Mana
ger Durbrow concluded it had come a long
distance. Tho lake that has formed around
Salton is now 8 miles wide by 30 miles long.
Later news from the desert to-night says
that the Colorado river is pouring over its
banks for ten miles near Yuma, and the
water is rushing' into Laguna country at
Indian Wells, which is 150 feet lower than
Yuma. It is thought that by an under
ground passage this water Is reaching Sal
ton. The water in tho great lakes just
formed at Salton is said to be from 3 to 8 feet
deep.
John J. Gilmore, a young Engllshmantwho
is a well-known new spaper writer, has J Ust
returned from Salton. His story of tho bo
cinnlneof tlfe flood is verv interostimr. Ho
said to-ihty: "Itls well-known-that Ailunstst:
tue'Iowest point In the Colorado desort. The
formation of tho country round about is
saucer-like. There aro hills to the north
nnd south and a great salt marshis at the
bottom of the saucer. The salt marsh is
owned by San Franolsco men, and Georgo
Durbrow, manager, lives there in a little
cottage opposite the Southern Pacific Rail
road station. On Sunday afternoon I was
out at the end of the track built for the pur
poso of hauling in tho salt which is scraped
from the surface. It is wrong to say the
Slace is arid. It is always moist, and one
as to be careful when walking on themarsh
if he does not wish to got into mud and
water knee deep.
The Appearance of tho Flood.
"At 3 p. m. I left the marsh, nnd there was
no Indication of water. The next day as I
was ona velocipcdo running down the track
I saw a man coming home on a handcar, and
asked, '"What is the matter, Joel" The In
dian said, "There are three inches of water
on the marsh, and it is 'fast rismg." I did
not believe it, but went out and found that
the entire country had been turned into a
lake, with the water coming In from tho
southeast in a 'largo body, and every
appearance that 'it was on the increase.
Mr. Durbrow went out on the marsh,
and finding that it was 25 per cent salt felt
sure that the water had traveled an enor
mous distance. By evening, when I went out
again, the w ater was coming rapidly and had
increased to six or seven inches in depth.
When I left on Tuesday afternoon the water
was 13 inches in depth and within a few
yards of the mill. The railroad now tra
verses the lqwcstpartof the sink, and should
the water continue to lise and finally reach
tho sea level, it would be necessary for tho
railroad to take to the hills to the northward.
Theie .are ranges of mountains there along
whose lower slopes the road could readily bo
built abovo high water mark."
The greatest interest Is shown among San
Francisco scientific men in this flooding of
the desert. At first they regarded the story
as a canard, but now they agrco that It is tho
most peculiar phenomenon that has oc
curredon the coast since its'occupation by
Americans. It has revived memories of the
long and weary effort made by Dr. Wozen
cmft to secure funds for the artificial Irriga
tion of tho desort from the Colorado riVer.
Wozencraft got his ideas from General Fre
mont, who nlways held there was a grand
fortune for tho man who would bring water
into tho desert and raise tropical fruits.

tached to tho memorial. If, as it Is hoped,
tho Holy See can be Induced to follow out
its recommendations and appoint a large
number of German clergymen ns Bishops to
the United States, the German influence
across tho Atlantic will be vastly increased.
Herr Cahensly, indeed, appeals for aid to
other foreign Governments Italy, Austria,
Spain and Canada promising them in re
turn a duo share of tho prestigo which will
come from a division of the Episcopal Sees
of America among tho representatives of the
different classes of Immigrants. It is felt
hire, nevertheless, that tho lion's share will
fall to the lot of the Empire. The war on
the "Irish Bishops" in America will be pros
ecuted with vigor. It iylll be no fault of
Herr Cahensly if be fails. Hero is a part of
tho text of the memorial:
The Catholio Flcment In America.
Most Emiment Lord Wo come to humbly
submit to Your Eminence some considera
tions upon the subject of emigration to the
United Statos of North America. Tho cur
rent whioh is carrying away to America
populations of different nationalities is al
ready formidable; in tho future it is likely
to become irresistible. Calculations based
upon tho most authoritative statistics go to
show that Catholio immigrants and their
children ought to constitute in the United
States a Catholic population of 26,000,000; but
tho fact is that the number of Catholics in
that vast country scarcely exceeds 10,000,000.
Tho following are the chief causes of this de
sertion on the port of the Catholic forces:
1 Tho lack of sufficient protection for the
emigrants at the time of their departure from
home, during their vovage and on their ar
rival In America; 2, the insufficiency of
Sriests and parishes of their own, for tho
liferent nationalities: of immigrants; 3. the
pecuniary sacrifices, often exorbitant, that
arc exacted of the faithful; 4, the publio
schools; 5, the Insufficiency of societies.
Catholic and national associations of mutual
aid, protection, etc., for the laboring classes;
8, the want of different representatives of
the different nationalities of immigrants in
the Episcopate.
Immigrants Need Religious Protection.
First When abont to set out from the
Fatherland, emigrants stand in need of im
formation, direction, advice and assistance,
so as to know what to do, whom to apply to
in preparation for their distant journey,
what route to follow, etc. Before embark
ing and while on the deep, special care, both
temporal and spiritual are needed. On thair
arrival in America the poor immigrants
stand In need of aid and direction, of infor
mation as to where they will find their fel
low countrymen, work and comforts or re
ligion. Tho high protection of the Holy See
Is indispcnslble to the St. Rachael Societies.
Second Among all tho nations which are
ignorant of the English language there is an
impossibility of practicing their religion
if on arrival in America they do not find
priests who can speak their language and
give them religious instruction. Besides,
emigrants go to America in order to earn
their daily bread, and not for tho sake of
ilearning new languages. The United States
has become well aware of this fact. They
nlsaleavctoiryery ilatiOTUiUty.the.prJ'ITegii
of retaining: the -use of,- its. own language.
No Ibtibt that In the course of years tne im
Tnlsrwints come to sneak Enalish: but to wnl
till they have learned that language before'
Having mem practice tneir religion is to run
the risk of finding them no longer disposed
to live aftor a Christian fashion. ,
The Religions Importance or Language.
It is deslmblo that every different national
group of immigrants should be organized
into a distinct parish with a priest of its
own nationality. Experience teaches that
the immigrants and their descendants who
forget their language likewise forget their
religion. Language and religion are in
separable. To Americanize oneself means to become
a citizen of the United States, or an Amer
ican citizen. In order to become on Amer
ican citizen it is necessary to accept the
Constitution of the United States, to do
what it wills and to respect what it respects.
Xow, that Constitution recognizes the right
of every nationality of immigrants to retain
its religion. Its language, its character and
the like. To Americanize oneself, then, Is,
first and above all, to accept and respect
this right which the Constitution grants to
all tho different natlonalties that live tiuder
its protection. It belongs peculiarly to
every nationality to take the Initiative in
tho matter of Americanizing itself."
After speaking of the great influence of
tho bishops, the memorial says : "Upon thii
question depends the solution of tho great
est problem of tho present times the
problem of tho migration of nations. First,
the salvation of souls is herein concerned.
The Way to Harmony in the Church. '
"Bishops who are strangers to tho spiritual
character, habits and customs of other na
tions cannot, in the required measure, des
pite their virtues, knowledge nnd zeal, ap
preciate and effectually attend to the wants
of those nations. Agein, the harmony and
concord between tho different nationalities
are affected by this question. If the episco
pate be handed over almost exclusively to
one single nationality, to the detriment of
tho others, a feeling of uneasiness, of general
discontent is created among these last, a
feeling which assumes tho proportions of
jealous national rivalries. It is desired that
concord and harmony should reign among
the different nations that go to make np the
church of the United States. Tho sole and
only w ay to attain this end is to give to every'
one of these nations Bishops of their own;
Bishops belonging to each, who will repre
sent their respective nations in the episco
pal body, just as those nations are rep
resented among the parochial clorgyand
among the faithful. As the dioceses are
formed of Catholics of different national
ities there is no question of d mandlng the
division of these dioceses ace -ding to na
tionalities. What is oxpectea of the Holy
&eo is mat iusuops oi tuu uiuercnt nations
will be placed in the episcopal body, so that
different nations will be represented by
some of their own in the episconate, in the
ecclesiastical provinces ana in tno councils;
An Appeal to tho Constitution.
"Xext tho spirit of tho Constitution of the
United States, which grants equal and im
partial protection to all tho nations living
ufidcr It, is horeln concerned; for" to constU
tutethe episcopal body by taking into ac
count the different national elements which
form tho church, as well as tho-tnation, of
thn irrwnt Tlnmihlle. would be to act-in direct
accordance with the American Constition.
i Resides, has not tho Church everything to
gain Dyiavoring mo hjjiwi. v. wo uvjisuiu
tlpn of a country, when that spirit is good
nndjust?
"Moreover, the question affects the Inter
ests of the countries from which emigration
tukes place. Through their emigrants the
nations aro acquiring In the great Republic
un influence and an importance to which
they will ono day bo able to make great
profit. These nations aro so well aware of
this that they are doing everything in their
power to have thoso other nationalities Set
tled in tho United Slates develop and
strengthen themselves In every respect.
The time has come when governments can
no- longer remain indifferent to this grave
and Important question."
Tho memorial then argues that tho ap
polntmcnt of bishops for the different
nations would bring them closer to tho Holy
See, and thereby help tho growth of the
church. IMS signed bv the officials of the
Raphael Society, and accompanying it aro

INSURED FOR $5,000,000. ,
AN ENORMOUS PRICE PLACED ON AN
AMERICAN'S LIFE.
Tho Insurance Companies Preparing to
Prove That James McHenry, the Erie
Railroad Litigant, Poisoned Himself
The Contents of the Dead Man's Will.
Lotdon, June SO. It is now said that tho
late James McHenry, tho well-known finan
cier and cld-tlme Erie Railroad litigant,
whoso body was exhumed Jnne 20, by the
order of Home Secretary Matthews, was in
sured in England and tho United States for
over $5,000,000. The insurance companies, it
is said, suspect that Mr. McHenry commit
ted suicide by poison, thus rendering void,
tho insurance policies on his life. Tho body
has been reinterrod after being subjected to
a careful post mortem examination. The
intestines, etc., remain in tho possession of
the officers of the Homo Office. ,
It was Intended to conceal the exhumation
until the result of the analysis of the con
tents and condition of the stomach was
mado known, and, in fact, if the examina
tion had resulted' In showing that Mr. Mc
Henry's death was not caused by poison. It
is more than probable tho Government
officers would havo supported the exhnma

the idea of suicide and are indignant at

ONLY UNBUSINESSLIKE.
Mismanagement of Endowment Funds of at
Church College.
CvtciNNATi, June 30. At tho convention of
tho Southern diocese ot the Protestant Epis
copal Church, held recently in this city, the
most exciting topio of discussion was the al
leged mismanagement of certain endow
ment funds of Kenyon college at Gambler,
Knox connty, O. After discussion, the mat
ter was referred to a special cpmmittee with
instructions to report to the next .Diocesan
Convention. It was stated, however, during
the discussion that there was no dishonesty
in the transactions, but they were unbusi
nesslike, and to that extent irregular.
A correspondent from Mount Vernon,
Enox county, writes that on last Saturday
a discovery was made of a virtual deficit of
$21,000 in the college finances. The discovery
was the result of an investigation by- the
trustees made last week, which thev desire
'kept secret. These funds, the correspondent
says, were a part oi tne trust iunus oi tno
college for which each trustee is personally
liable. Theso several special funds were
regularly loaned and on interest, and the
investigation revealed that when tho prin
cipal or interest was paid in the amounts
wore dumped into a general fund and
checked out for genoral purposes instend of
being restored to their proper places and
used accordingly. Tho correspondent says
that there Is already talk of entering suit
against the trustees to recover the depleted
trusts, and that unless tho deficit Is speedily
mado good ono of the professorships will
have to bo abandoned. It seems, however,
that as the trustees collectively are finan
cially able to make good tho shortage, the
funds will speedily be reimbursed. The In
vestigation of the trustees did not reveal any
dishonesty only mismanagement.

A Benevolent Act Gets a Chicago Philan
thropist Into Trouble.
Washington, June 30. Immigration In
spector Stitch, of Chicago, recently reported
to tho Treasury Department that Mr. Isaac
Woolf, a reputable business man in the
clothing business" In Chicago, has Imported
from Japan tw o vehicles known as "Jlnrik
shas" and two Japanese men to propel them
bv hand, the intention being to havo them
placed In tho public parks for the pnrposo of
hanling or drawing children free of charge,
Mr. Wool agreeing to pay the men $20 etch
per month for a period of six months. The
Inspector inquired whether it is a violation
of the alien contract labor law.
Assistant Secretary Xettlcton to-day in
formed him "that the department holds that
although this is, so far as known, an entirely
now enterprise in this country, yet it can
hardly bo called a new Industry in tho sense
of the law, nor would It seemingly be neces
sary to import skilled labor to propel tho j In
rikshas, and therefore Mr. Woolf must bo
held to have violated tho law by importing
theso Japanese laborers nnder contract
made prior to their importation. As, how
ever, Mr. Woolf declares that he had no in
tention of violating tho law, and as the im
?iorted laborers havo not como into competi
ion with home laborers, it is advised that
no suit be cofhmencedagainst him, provided
ho will immediately have those men re
turned to their own country."

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.)
Xew York, June SO. The boys in East
123rd street, and there are many of them,
have been in tho habit of climbing about in
the few trees which have been spared la
the general improvement of Harlem. A
dead tree was for a long time a favorite
resting place, and half a dozen boys could,
bo found perched in the branches almost
any pleasant day, after school hours. When
the weather grew warmer the school boys
deserted the leafless tree for a big maple.
Six boys had lodged themselves In variouk
parts of the tree about C o'clock last night.
They were John MoManus, aged 12 years;
Harry Johnson, aged 12 yeors; George Eel
born, aged M years: Julius Kronenberg, aged
9 years: William Rlordon, aged 17 years, and
John Ridley, aged 12 years. Relhorn was on
a branch which extended west toward tho
window of a tenement, the first floor of
which is occupied by Bartender Edward
Forbes and his wife, Mary. Tho boys had
seen ilrs- Forbes shooting at birds in the
tree on Sunday with an alrgun. Thcrsay
she killed two birds. Tho compressed air
drives out buckshot with at least the force
of a 22-caliber pistol cartridge.
She Opened Fire With an Alrgun.
Mrs. Forbes appeared at the window
armed with the gun and opened Are at the
boys. A bullet struck Kronenberg on the
breast and a second shot struck Johnson on
the breast, neither ball hurt. Another
struck Rtordon on tho hand. It stung him
badly and ho cried out: "Lookout whit yon
are doing." Mrs. Forbes flred again, and
tho bullet struck him again, and the bullet
strnck McManus on tho left cheek and
raised a lump. The lads wore getting angry,
and McManus crlod In a threatening tone?
"you Just stop firing jut ua," while Relhorn
shook his hand and said: "I'd Just fix her If
sho shot mo that way." Relborn was
tho easiest hoy In the company to
hit from his -position on the
branch nearest Mrs. Forbes' window. She
turned the gun on him, and the ball passed
between the fingers of his left band, btinliv
him badly. Mrs. Forbes was out of ammu
nition by this time; and sho stepped away
from tho window and procured more. Re
turning, she flred again at Relborn. This
timo the bullet struck him in tho corner of
tho left eyo. Just abovo the ball. He would
have fallen off the tree had not McManua
been near enough to catch him. The lads
helped their wounded companion to climb
to the ground, and McManus hurried him to
Dr. William E. Tuttle.
The Wound Proved to Be Very Serious.
Dr. Tuttle extracted tho bullet, and found
the lad's eye suffused with blood. He be
lieves Relhorn will loso it. The bulles
struck the lower edge of the skull. The
bone Is particularly thin about the orbit of
the eye, and serious consequences may arise
from inflammation of tho brain, caused by
small splinters of bone, which it would be
dangerous to probe for.
Frederick Relhorn, the father Qf the
wounded boy, Is an engineer on the Xew
