An. Interesting Query Upon Which
Cleveland Throws No Light.
OLNEY’S CHANCES ARE GOOD.
It Is Believed by Those Close to the Pros
ident That the Attorney General Will
Be Asked to Accept the Vacant
Secretaryship of State.
WASHINGTON, J uno 3.—-“Who will be
the next secretary of state?” is at present
the one question which is exercising the
statesmen here, but none of them is able
to predict where the nominating lightning
will strike, as it can be stated on authority
that the president has not up to this time
indicated to any person what his views are
respecting the appointment of a successor
to the late Secretary Gresham.
Your correspondent, however, is in a
position to say that among those who are
closest to the president the belief is freely.
expressed that all the prospects are in fa-
vor of the position of secretary of state be-
ing at an early date tendered to Attorney
General Olnoy, and it is said that there
are ~ excellent reasons for this belief.
Whether Mr. Olncy would be willing to
accept the position is another question, but
it is thought that if the president asks him
to serve he will not decline.
Senator Dubois’ Views.
Sena-tor Dubois of Idaho is back from a
visit to his home. In view of his promi-
nence among the silver Republicans of the
senate, he was asked today what silver
legislation would be enacted by the next
congress.
“There will be no silver legislation
whatever,” said he. “It would be utterly
useless to pass a silver bill and then have
the president veto it. There is no need of
passing a silver bill until we have a silver
president, and in my judgment we will
have such a president in 1896.”
Mr. Dubois was reminded of the silver
agitation throughout the country, and the
general impression that the next congress
would do something. He said this senti-
ment was particularly active in Idaho,
and the people talked of little else. But,
notwithstanding the idea that some affirm-
ative action would be taken by congress.
he felt certain that it would be recognized
as fruitless to agitate congress and pass a
bill that would be doomed in advance to
a veto from Mr. Cleveland.
The Public Debt.
”The "public debt statement just issued
by the treasury department shows the
debt of the United States Friday, less cash
in the treasury, to have been $012,363,292;
This does not take into account $573,866,-
743 in certificates and treasury notes out-
standing, against which there is an equal
amount of cash in the treasury. The debt
on May 3 is, therefore, $5,386,61119ss than
on April 30. Following is areoapitulation
of the debt: .
Interest bearing debt, $716,202,010; in-
crease for month. $100; debt on which in-
terest has ceased since maturity. $1,734,-
920; decrease, $19,740; debt bearing no
interest, $379,836,461; decrease, $684, 787,
making a total debt of $1,007, 773, 392. The
cash in the treasury is classified as fol-
lows: Gold, $147,690,977; silver, 8511,-
582,650; paper. $121,716,406; bonds, dis-
bursing oflicers’ balances, otc., $16,483,-
720, against which there are demand lia-
bilities amounting to $612, 103, 654, leaving
a cash balance in the treasury of $185, 370,-
, 100.
The Hudson River Bridge.
There are signs of strained relations be.
tween the New York and the New Jersey
Bridge companies, which jointly obtained
the passage of an act by congress authoriz-
ing the construction of a bridge across the
Hudson river at New York. Several days
ago the New Jersey company submitted‘to
the war department a plan for a suspen-
sion bridge designed by its engineer, Mr.
Morrison, contemplating a clear span of
3,080 feet, as required by the department.
Since then Secretary Lamont has received
a notice from the New York company that
it will submit a separate pldn fora bridge,
so it may be necessary for the secretary to
decide this question as between the two
companies.
Meanwhile only seven days remain of
the time allowed by congress for the pre-
sentation to the department of a satisfac-
tory plan for the bridge.
Senate Committee on Rules.
Senators Harris, Gorman and Aldrich of
the senate committee on rules have had a
meeting to consider the ventilating, ight-
ing and committee room transfers "the
senate. A ventilating export presented
plans fer improving the air of the senate
chamber. but no definite action was taken.
A complete electric light plant will be put
in before congress roconvencs. The more
important question of a change in the
rules of the senate to permit the closing
of debate will not be taken up until next
November.
The Chinese minister has sent to the
state department a cablegram he received
from the Tsungli Yamcn stating that the
imperial government and the Tsungli
Yamon desire to express to the United
States an expression of their sincere sym-
pathy and condolence on the sad occasion
of the demise of Secretary Gresham.

And Johnson Issues a Sweeping Challenge
For the World’s Championship.
NEW YORK, J une 3.‘—Tho meeting that
was to have taken place here between T.
W. Eek and Champion A. A. Zimmerman
to arrange a match between the latter and
John S. Johnson did not take place, ow-
ing to Zimmerman’s determination not to
engage in any match races this year. Eck
thinks that, owing to Zimmerman’s do-
parture to Australia in July, to be gone
one year, he should either resign his title
of champion or give Johnson a chance.
and he has deposited $250 with the editor
of The American Wheelman and left the
following challenge:
”Inasmuch as Arthur A. Zimmerman,
champion bicyclist of the world, has do-
cided not to race John S. Johnson for the
title this year, on behalf of Johnson I
hereby challenge any rider in the world to
meet Johnson any distance from 1 to 20
miles for $1,000 and the championship of'
the World, the race to take place at Wal-
tham. Mass, three weeks from date of
signing articles of agreement.
“This oiier will be open for one month,
and if not accepted by any one in that time
Johnson will claim the title of champion-
ship of the world and will stand ready to
defend the same. I have placed $250 with
W. J. Morgan of Tho-American Wheelman
as an earnest of Johnson’s intentions.
“T; W. ECK.”
The American Whoclman telegraphed
Joseph McDermott, Zimmerman’s man-
.ager, at Freehold, N. J., as follows: “Eek
says Zimmerman promised to meet him to
make match. What do you say?”
Mr. Mchrmott wired the following ro-
ply: “Zimmerman will ride no match.

BURRBLL NOT MURDERED.
His Alleged Assassin, Sentenced to Twenty
Years, “’ill Be Released.
MOBILE, Juno 8.—One of the strangest
cases of crime in Alabama has developed
here. At Livingston, Ale... 6. year ago
Hinton Rice was charged with drowning
William Burrell. He was tried, convicted
and sentenced to 20 years in the peniten-
tiary. A brother of the prisoner testified
as an eyewitness to the tragedy.
The supposed murdered man was located
here several Weeks ago, but eluded the
officers until last night, when he was ur-
rested. Burrell, when asked why he did
not make himself known, said he did not
want people to know his whereabouts and
expressed no regret that his supposed slay-
er was serving a term of imprisonment.
Rice will be released.
SGHOFIELD’S LITTLE BOOM.
The General Says He Knows Nothing About
Politics and Has Nev Voted.
DENVER, Juno 3.——Lieut nant General
Schofield arrived in Denver yesterday from
New Mexico. He is making his last oili-
cial visit to the various military posts be-
fore his retirement next September. When
asked about his presidential boom, he re-
plied: .
“I have never given that matter any
consideration. My career has been and is
military and scientific. I know nothing
about politics and never voted in my life.
I have read a number of notices of late
about my presidential boom, but thought
the boom was only a boomlot, originating
in the brains of New York politicians.”
Turkey and the Powers.

MAY HAVE A rrcnr‘ros LIFE
Philadelphia Authorities \Vill Try to Prove
That He._,llIurdcred Not Only Pietzel
and His Children, but Also the
Misses Hale of Fort \Vorth.
PHILADELPHIA, June._,,‘-i.—Sentence has
not yet been imposed by Judge Hare on
Harmon Webster Midgetts, alias H. H.
Holmes, who on Tuesday last pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him
with conspiracy with Jephtha D. Howe,
a St. Louis attorney, to defraud the Fidel-
ity Mutual Life asSociation out of $10, 000
by pretending that 'IPietzel died as the re-
sult of an accident. The trial had only
been fairly started when Midgetts changed
his plea from not guilty to guilty.
Midgetts will not be sentenced for con‘
spiracy unless District AttOrnoy Graham
finds it impossible to substantiate his
theory, which he claims is well borne out
by circumstantial cvidenge, that the pris-
oner is uilty of on‘eah‘fl possibly half a
dozen crimes of at more‘serious nature.
The commonwealth’s officers will try to
prove that Midgetts killed Pietzel, his
three grandchildren and the Misses Hale
of Fort Worth, Tex., whom he met in Chi-
cago.
Mrs. Pietzel is in prison in this city, as
it was supposed she was in some way
mixed up in the insurance fraud. It is
not likely, however. that the case against
her will be pressed. Last October she
placed her three children in the custody of
Midgetts in St. Louis and has not since
heard of them. It is feared that the three
children are dead, although Midgetts pro-
tests that they are alive. '
The Children.
It now becomes a matter of great inter-
est to the prisoners to produce these chil-
dren, whose names were Alice or Ettie,
aged 14 years; Nellie, 11 years, and How-
ard, 9 years. Detectives, under the direc-
tion of the district attprncy. are bending
their efforts to locate them if they are
alive. It is known, that in October they
traveled with Midgetts from Indianapolis
to Detroit, and thence to Toronto. Here
all clcw to them is lost, except thatJJased
on a statement made by Midgetts within
the last few days. He says he took them
to Niagara Falls, there turned them over
to Miss Minnie Williams, who took them —
to London, and that they are now with
her in that city. “
Minnie Williams lived with Midgctts in
Chicago in 18023, and at her request her
sister wont to Chicago from Fort Worth.
Both women have since dropped complete-
ly out of sight, and it is hinted by the
prosecution that Midgetts is responsible
for their disappearance.
Minnie Williams, the prisoner told the
authorities, had been a variety actress and
was also known by the stage names of
Adele Corvello and Geraldine Wanda.
When Midgett‘s told the authorities the
London story, he said she lived on Vida
street. They ascertained there was no such
street in the city. Then he persisted that,
while he might be mistaken as to the
street, he was positive that she was in
London. To bear out his story he prepared
a cipher advertisement, requesting her to
produce the children and requested that
the district attorney have it published.
When the prisoner was asked by one of the
attorneys in the case to name a single per-
son that knew the children had gone to
London with Miss Williams, he was un-
able to do so.
Four Times Married.
There is no longer any doubt that the
corpse found in the Hollowhill street house
, last September was that of B. F. Pietzel,
Sat :
who there carried on an agency for in-
ventors. Midgetts, the authorities claim
they can prove, was' the last person seen
with Pietzol while he was alive. Midgctts
first claimed that the body was that of a
corpse substituted for Pietzel. He said
Pietzel had committed suicide. When the
remains were found, the body had been
burned with carbolic acid, and it was at
first supposed that an explosion of the acid
had caused death. The authorities believe
it was a case of murder.
Midgetts has been married four times,
and wife No. 4. a young woman who is
highly spoken of, has been in Philadelphia
since M" getts was brought here and im-
, prisoned last November.
Of the $10,000 insurance policy on
Pictzel’s life Attorney Howe of St. Louis
received $2, 500 and Midgetts $6,700, rep-
resenting to the widow that ho Would
hand it over to Pictzcl, Whom she sup-
posed Was in hiding to carry out the con-
spiracy. Mrs. Pietzol’s share was only
$500. _______‘_
