that tho foreign ministers havo declined
to accede to tho suggestion of tho United

It Is expected that he will continue hi

named, and It la believed that tho outcome
will be n compromise on a figure between
$200,000,000 nnd the mnxlraum of $337,000,000

Former Menutnr,
SIOUX FALLS, S. D May 23.-(Special.)
Slnco It has been definitely detoi mined
that former Senator Pottlgrew was not
offered tho position of president of tho
Northern Pacific railroad, ho having him
self denied tho nccurncy of tho published
reports to this effect, Interest centers In
what position wns really tendered him
for It Is considered certain that James J.
Hill was desirous of providing for bis old-
tlmo friend. It was stated a few weeks
ago that tho ex-senator had been offered
the general attorneyship of tho Northern
Pnrlflo rnllrond at a salary of $18,000.
Statements to this effect wero nleo er
roneous, nnd doubtless wero the founda
tion of tho recent reports connecting Pettl
grew with tho presidency of tho road. It
Is learned from n rellnblo sourco that tho
position actually offered Mr, Pettlgrew
was that of mnnagcr of the land depart
ments of both tho Northern Pacific nnd
Grcnt Northorn roads. A hitch occurred
as to tho amount of salary to be nald him.
and It Is understood that negotiations aro
oft for the present. An offer of n salary
of $15,000 per year was mado Mr. Pettl
grew, hut ho wanted $2.1,000. Those seek
ing to secure his services finally raised their
figures to $18,000 per year, nnd thoro tho
matter rests.

HAVANA, May 23. acnerat Wood today
Issued orders to tho Judges and postofflco
Inspectors that all cases must immediately
bo brought to trial, beginning not later
than the middle of next Juno, Tho com
plicated methods of Cuban courts, combined
with tho red tape In the postolllce depart
ment, has caused many cases to drag on
without n sign of ever cdmlng to trial, it
Is estimated that over $00,000 was spent
In procuring testimony nnd translators havo
work ahead for months.
Regarding the caso of E. G. Rnthbone It
Is common talk among attorneys and court
officials that there Is not tho least evidence
against him, and that Rathbone would hnve
been discharged long ago but for tho per
sistency with which Inspectors nro con
tinually bringing in new but unimportant
testimony, which tho court must record
and translate. This practice often reuultu
In sending out nddltlonal Interrogatories,
which cause delay. Tho case of Rathbonu
Is still In tho court of first lnUanco, nnd
while It remains thero tho nttorncys cannot
ask for a trial.
The counsel of Charles F. W. Neely will
object to the use of interrogatories sunt to

nnd elsewhere ns evidence, on tho ground
that this Is ex parte testimony nnd that
tho law granting extradition guaranteed

These notices are duo to tho statement ot

Tho Planters' association has asked tho

Ho Bald:
Mr. President nml flrntlemeii! In earn

of n stranger, I would not venture to pre
sume too much In regard to your Indulgent
natures, generous decorum nnd sparing
criticism, while I seek to lav before you
some consideration on tho work of the

inniigii we nnvo iiroiton ground in h creuu

labor liurenu has not kept pace with the
bureaus of many of our neighboring states
n fact duo to the small appropriations
granted by tho legislature for the success
ful carrying on of the work, as well as
to too much work having been attempted, I
tnko It, by many of my predecessors In
otllce. The governor Ik the commissioner
of labor, cx-ofllclo, nnd the working stair
consists of a deputy commissioner of labor,
chief clerk and stenographer. The work
10 on uone comprises tne punucaiiou oi
tho biennial report, bulletins and statis
tical mans, tho management of a free
employment agency,- factory and tire cscnpo
inspection, cic. Ann in spue or tneso
fncts, representatives ot tho dnlly press
of the state and many legislators wero
not wanting, who boldly declnred during
the last session of tho legislature that tho
staff of tho bureau should bo cut down.
1'iiise economy dunned "retrenchment" by
the demncOKues. who were over wont to
address the galleries ami mould public
sentiment In their respective localities, has
wrougiu mucn injury to tno worn rendered
und to tho business Interests of the state.
in such nn anomalous condition tho bureau
of Nebraska Is placed, and to bring furni
out of chaos Is the task proiented.
Hut to ue mora miecnlc. 1 would remark
that with the posslbln exception of a chap
ter on "Strikes In Nebraska," tho forth
coming biennial report shall make no at

such ns some of tho commissioners nnvo

agricultural, railway, educational, religious
and vital statistics are now helm: consid
ered, nnd for some of these schedules havo
already been issued ana oeen productive
of satisfactory results.
Now, In conclusion, I know you will par
don me If I digress for a moment to pay
my respects to our worthy nnd distin
guished president, from whom the most
of us have learned much and still havo
much to learn. Ho has dona more to ex
tend tho Held of statistical Investigation

that he has made us enlarge on tho dell

the club who aro In touch with thn situation
were present tho sense of tho club on Lip
ton's proposal to rnco Shamrock I In p"ao of
his wreckod yacht could not bo obtained. It
wns, however, gathered from expressions of
Socrotnry Oddlo, mado In an unofficial
capacity, that the mooting would result In
tho postponement of tho rnclng dato ns ro
queBted. Mr. Oddle said that It wan due to tho
owner of tho challenger that he bo not kept

SOUTHAMPTON, .May 23. Sir Thomas
Llpton has asked that the cup races bo
postponed until tho first week In October.
At n conferenco of lis constructors nnd
ndvlsors, held tills afternoon on board tho
Erin, Sir Thomas Llpton told tho gontlo
iii en that ho wns determined to go nhend
with Shnmrock II und left It to them to
decide how this best could be done.
Ho had a long discussion with Mr. Wnl
son, tho designer of Shamrock II; Mr.
RatBey, tho snllniaker; Mr. Wand, man
agor for the Dennys, the builders ot tho
yacht; Captain Sycamore, tho skipper, and
Messrs. Milliard and Ure, amateur yachts
men, who huvo b'jcn sailing on hoard
Shamrock II, and It was agreed to cablo
the New York Yacht club, asking Hint tho
date of tho contest he postponed until tho
first week In October, In order to allow
tlmo for the necessary repairs. This ex
tension will glvo tho Dennys nnd Mr.
Ratsey tlmo to do tholr parts of tho work.
It wns decided to loso no tlmo, but to go
nhend under full pressure whllo awaiting
a reply from tho New York Yacht club
as to whether a postponement would bo
granted.
Sir Thomas expressed himself nB ex
tremely sorry at being forced to mako
any requests upsetting tho arrangements
alrcndy made, but he was left with only
the hull or hts yacht. Without this ex
tension of tlmo ho would bo totally unable
to bring his boat over In anything llk.v
good form, nml lie said ho sincerely hoped
his request would bo granted.
.More Hopeful iiuwt ICver.
Speaking ot thu Improvements in Sham
rock I Sir Thomas bald ho had no douht
that this yacht hail Improved much nlnco
It hailed In American waters and that ho
felt perfectly curtain It wns far from being
as good a boat as tho challenger. Tho
latter, ho snld, hud been Improving dally
and although ho now had only a bare hull,
without a stick over hor, ho wus satisfied
that on renppearanco tho challenger would
Justify his confidence
Sir Thomas has received dozens of cables
of Bympnthy from tho United States nnd
hundreds of similar telegrams from all
parts of Great Britain. Thomas W, Lawson
cabled to Sir Thomas his deepest regret at
tho nccldrnt nnd his heartfelt congratula
tions that nil on board had escaped, Ho
hoped thut America would not be deprived
of seeing tho Shamrocks this season, but
If It wero Impossible to bring them over
ho oxprcsscd tils willingness to take tho
Indopendenco over to England nnd raco
either or both thn Shamiocks In British
waters.
Sir Thomas replied to this message, ex
pressing his grutltudn at Mr. Lawson's
kind telccrnm and generous offer which
ho thoroughly appreciated, but ho paid ho
wns going over with the now Shamrock
and if nn opportunity offered hn would bo
delighted to rnco tho Independence In
Araerlcun waters.
llriiKN I he Sen.
Tugs wrrn nut till day searching for tho
Bpara ond gears that wero cut adrift, but
owing to tho rough sea they only found n
topsail ynrd.
A German snhnge company will bo asked
to send steumors to contlnun tho search,
for although tho recovery of the blocks,
gear and fittings In this wny will cost
moro tlmn It wouln tnko to replace them,
It Is bolloved that tlmo will be saved. It
Is thought thnt tho salts nro destroyed or
burled in tho sand.
As soon as arrangements can bo mndo
Shamrock II will be towed to tho Clyde nnd
handed over to tho Dennys. Orders for
