SANFRANCISCO, Feb. 25.—The steamer
,Gaelic arrived last night from Honolulu,
‘_' bringing the following advices, bearing
,date of Feb. 11:
A more contagious fever of rumor never
v struck this community than that which
swopt over the town previous to the dc-
' parture of the Mariposa. The story as
passed from mouth to mouth was rather
easible and ran something like this:
The government has decided to deport
some ten prisoners, among them being
Widemann, Greig and Marshal. The pres-
ence of Judge Widemann on the Wharf
with a hand satchel and guitar added ere.
dence to the Widemann part of the story.
The government was prepared to carry out
its plan when Minister Willis protested
against men convicted of political crimes
being put on board a vessel carrying the
American flag. Furthermore, the recent
immigration laws of the United States
would not allow any such men to enter
the country. In pursuance of this idea,
Consul Mills had held the clearance papers
of the vessel until assurance was received
that no attempt would be made to put
these men on board.
President Dole and Ministers King and
Smith were on the steamer and got to.
gether in the captain’s cabin. There they
Were rumored to have come to a decision
that they had better let the matter lay
over until some more auspicious season.
When asked regarding the alleged depart-
ure, Attorney General Smith said: “I
cannot see how such a thing got started.
We have not thought of such a thing as
deporting any men who have been before
the court. I think we have more use for
Grcig and Widemann here than in the
United States. There is no foundation
whatever for the rumor.”
Arrests and Sentences.
When Minister Willis was asked whether
he had received any notice of an intended
deportation of prisoners, he replied: “NO.
I was informed quite to the contrary. I did
not enter any protest or make any request
to hold the steamer. In fact, I have not
yet filed the protest consequent to the de-
portation affair last Saturday. It is far
from my purpose or desire to take any ac-
tion which would tend to embarrass this
government. I have the most friendly feel-
ings toward these officers. Of course it is
my duty to look after the interests of
American citizens, but I must certainly
have no intention of making unnecessary
trouble for the representatives of the gov—
ernment in so doing. ”
From all accounts it was very fortunate
for the peace of the community that no
attempt was made to send the three young
men out of the country. Armed men be-
longing to the citizens’ guard were on the
wharf to prevent the deportation of either
Greig, Widemann or Marshal.
The government has caused the arrest

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.—William H.
Cornwall, the Hawaiian royalist, who has
been charged with treason against the re«

Honolulu and face his accusers. Cornwall
is supposed to have come to America to aid
the rcvolutionists in procuring arms. By
returning he hopes to establish his inno-

confiscation. ‘

An Angry Dispute Among the American

TOKYO, Feb. 6.—China’s attempt to ne-
gotiate for peace proved even more fruit-
less than was anticipated. The Japanese
are greatly disappointed at the failure of
the Chinese government to give its envoys
proper power to negotiate for peace. The
Tsung Li Yamcn was warned by all the
foreign diplomats and especially Minister
Dun, at Tokyo, that unless the envoys
were given full power their errand would
be worse than useless. This being the
case, the Japanese could only dismiss them
without discussing the peace propositions
with them. The envoys were given two
audiences by the Japanese commission,
.and Mr. Foster was not allowed to be
present at either. Feb. 1 their credentials
were examined, and the following day they
were informed that their errand was use-
less.
Three days after their arrival at Hirosh-
ima the envoys were preparing to return
to China. It is reported that Mr. Foster’s
annoyance was so great that an open quar-
rel took place between him and his clients.
The angry dispute is said to have been
overheard by crowds on the street in which
the Chinese were lodged. The American
contemplated leaving the embassy in
Hiroshima and straightway returning to
the United States, but this decision was
reversed, and when the Chinese started on
Feb. 4 for Nagaski he accompanied them.
At the close of the second and last inter-
view in the Hiroshima prefecture, Count
Ito told the envoys that whenever properly
accredited delegates should be sent by
their emperor they would be received with
as much respect as if this unfortunate er‘
ror had not been committed.

THE STAKES A FORTUNE
A Peculiar Suit Before Judge Gaynor
In a Brooklyn Court.
MRS. GIRTY IS THE AOOUSER.
Bile Practically Charges William Rocke-
feller of the Standard Oil Company
“Nth Embezzlement—Rob-
bery and Restitution.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25. ——A rather unlocked
for phase of the suit of Caroline E. Girty,
widow of George W. Girty, to compel the
Standard Oil company to reconvey to hei-
property in Cleveland, developed in the
supreme court before Judge Gaynor in
Brooklyn. Mrs. Girty, through her at-
torney, Charles G. F. Wahle of this city,
made application for an order to compel
the defendant company to, exhibit for in-
spection trial ledger B of their books. The
corporation was represented by Messrs.
Rome and Cheats of Evarts, Choate &.
Beamau, New York.
George W. Girty was several years ago
in the employ of the Standard Oil company
in Cleveland and occupied aplace of trust,
having the handling of a large amount of
money. He was accused of having embez-
zled $278, 000. His wife was induced to as-
sign to the Standard Oil company all her
property in Cleveland, in consideration
of which the company agreed not to prose‘
cute Girty. Mrs. Girty, who is now desti-
tute, sues to recover her property on the
ground that the assignment was made un-
der duress.
She Accuses Rockefeller..
In court, through her counsel, she pre-
sented a most unusual affidavit, swearing
that her husband was innocent; that the
enmity of William Rockefeller of this city
made it appear that her husband was the
embezzlcr, when, as a matter of fact, he
only speculated for different officers of the
company, and alleging that William Rock-
efeller was the real defaultcr. She makes
her affidavit evidently upon the strength
of a memorandum which she swears she
has just found among her dead husband’s
papers. The memorandum itself is preced-
ed by an account purporting to be a copy
of the reserve fund account, Ledger B,
Standard Oil company, and in which pur-
chases of government bonds, amounting
to $157,970.43, are recorded. The memor-
andum is as follows:
The above bonds were purchased by William
Rockefeller and deposited in the Bank of New
York vaults for ourselves, he said. Whom he
meant by “ourselves” I know not. Perhaps he
meant himself, his brother, John D., H. M.
Flagler and Sam Audrey. He was—i. e.,
Mr. Rockefeller—very anxious to have nothing
said about the bonds, and he did not want
Colonel O. H. Payne to know about them. Mr.
Rockefeller didn’t want William T. Wardwell,
superintendent of the Long Island Refining
company, to know about the $75,000 transferred
to the credit of the reserve fund. Mr. Ward-
well told me that William Rockefeller did not
want Mr. Payne to know how much was made
by the Long Island Refining company. In my
opinion, the bonds were stolen, and for the use
of the parties interested. I do not believe the
stockholders Of the Standard Oil company got
any benefit. WILLIAM G. GIRTY.
Mr. Wahlc contended that this memor-
andum would explain away the charge of
embezzlement against Girty. He also said
that the books of the company were doc-
torcd in order to conceal this alleged trans-
action. Mr. Rome, for the corporation,
said that the application was without pre—
cedent in law or practice and was only
made for the purpose of getting possession
of figures in the company’s books. He said
that the charge against Mr. Rockefeller
was groundless; that the account had been.
discontinued and the bonds distributed
among the stockholders of the corporation.
Judge Gaynor reserved decision.
_ Counsel Dodd’s Statement.
8. C. T. Dodd, counsel for the Standard
Oil company, said:
‘ "Girty was in the employ of the com-
pany in Cleveland for a number of years
in a confidential position, and in 1883,
' while he was away, it was found that the
trusted agent was a dcfaultcr. On his re-
turn, the man confessed that he had taken
about $27 8, 000 of the conecrn’s money and
had falsified the books to conceal his
crime. Examination of the books showed
that the dcfalcation amounted to more than
$300,000. He gave his note for $300,000.
“The next morning after the confes-
sion, ” added Mr. Dodd, “his wife came to
the office and begged that her husband be
spared and promised in that case to turn
over to the company all their possessions
to recompense the company as far as pos-
sible. This was done. He got a. subordi-
nate position at a salary of $8,000, which
he held till he died, about a year ago. His
salary before the defalcation was discover-
ed was $10,000 a year.
”Almost immediately after the death of
Girty his widow entered an action declar-
ing that she had been forced, through fear
of having her husband commit suicide, to
sign the deeds conveying the property to
the Standard Oil company.
“We found it necessary to take the testi-
mony of an invalid witness who could not
appear in court, and while taking this testi-
mony her attorneys demanded the produc-
tion of certain books, which we refused to
produce. Our refusal to produce the books
possibly caused the affidavit to be made
which was read before Judge Gaynor.”
A Fugitive Surrenders.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.—Charlcs Freder-
icks. who, with four other prisoners, es-
caped from the Catlcttsburg (Ky.) jail in

of terrible suffering from hunger and ex-
posure while a fugitive. .
Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. -Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all’last awinter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies-‘without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it' to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

FEEDING nus BABY. .
Much is written at the present day about
l‘ne care and feeding of )nfants by people
whose only capability for dealing with the
subject is a fertile brain. and whose only
aim is to appear in print; every mother
knows how unsatisfactory and fallacious
such advice is when she attempts to follow
it. How to feed the baby is the greatest
problem .net with in the happy state of
motherhood, and upon its solution depend: ,
the health, the happiness and the life of the 3
child. It the mother is able to nurse her
child, the question of feeding is practically
settled; if she is not, she should be guided
by those who have had successful expert
ence in feeding babies and not allow hersel!
to experiment with different foods. Then.
are scores of artificial foods offered for sale.
but the best is none too good for the baby.
Eminent authorities who have thoroughly
Investigated the sub ect of infant feeding.
and scientists who ave analyzed infant
foods, unite in pronouncing Mellin's Food
to be the only perfect substitute for mother’s
milk. It is palatable, nourishin and
strengthening; the weakest stomac will
retain and digest it, and the puniest child
Will thrive upon it beyond the mother‘s
fondest expectations.
For convalescents, consum tives. dyspep-
tics and the 9. ed, Mellin‘s act] is also of
incalculable va. ue. It is a food, nota medi<
clue, and the system receives the nourish-
ment it demands for its daily needs. For
those severely ill Mellin’s Food will sustain
the failing strength and promote a speeedy
recovery when oonvalescence has been
established.
