WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2.—The Cuban question is to be settled by Presi- dent McKinley. He recognizes as never before the pressure of public sentiment throughout the country. He believes that the fate of next autumn’s congressional clections depends upon his action regarding the ‘Pearl of the Antilles,”’ 7 There has been an amount of pressure exerted upon the President that few people comprehend. Prier to the election that placed him in the White House some of the _ most powerful influences in the land were brought to bear against “jingoisnt.” Great corporations, trusts and financial institutions secured promises from Mark | ; Hanna. They made large contributions to the election\Njund, but they asked for something in return. ~ ) It was perfectly well understood that the cotirse of the President would be con- servative toward Spain and Cuba. In his inaugural address and in his subsequent acts Mr. McKinley has demonstrated his conservatism on the subject. The adoption } of the scheme of autonomy for Cuba by the Spanish Government gave the Ptesi- ‘dent a much-desired respite. He hoped that a more liberal government for the island would insure pacification wrthout necessitating action by the United States. The failure of Senor Sagasta’s plans, howevetg caused the President to perceive that ‘he would be called upon to act. At the same time-he hoped that matters might be tided over until nextewinter. The De Lome episode stirred Mr: McKinley, as well as the country at large. He declared that the cause of the insurgents had received a fresh impetus. | | CUBAN FREEDOM THE ONLY RECOMPENSE. } Then came the Maine horror. Thg answer that rolled on Washington from the length and breath of the land was overwhelming. 7 THE BASE SUGGESTION OF A MONEY COMPENSATION IN CASE IT BE PROVED THAT THE MAINE.WAS DESTROYED BY EXTERNAL CAUSES WAS INDIGNANTLY REPUDIATED BY THE-PRESS’ AND PEOPLE. CUBAN FREEDOM WAS THE ONLY COMMENSURATE * RECOMPENSE. | The President was duly impressed. He also had to recognize the great petition 4 of the commercial interests asking him to afford relief to their distress. Mark Hanna as the unsentimental business sepresentative of the Republican party stood by his ante-election promises, Speaker Reed, who has all along been opposed to recognizing the Cubans, has shown no disposition to change his views. He has stated plainly, however, as this correspondent is personally aware, that he would be guided by the desires of the Administration. In this he referred to his course as Speaker of the House. ; | Senator Hale and others, who have alf along opposed intervention in Cuba, now expect action. Senator Hale recently said to this correspondent: “We are nearer war than most people think.” He knew very well that interference by the Government would never be accepted by the Spanish Cabinet. The President has reached his determination, as it were, without regard to the Maine disaster. He has not'definitely decided upon a plan of action. But he has de- cided that the horrors that prevail in Cuba must end; that the present campaign of | the Spanish Army shall be the last one, and that as Spain is unable to restore order _- herself, it is the duty of the Executive to carry out the almost universal wish of the people and interfere. CONGRESS MAY BE CALLED UPON TO POINT THE WAY. It will depend upon Congress in a great measure how intervention is brought | about. The President is hopeful that Spain will listen to reason and consent to some | * amicable arrangement. He will dogall in his power to avoid actual hostiliites, but) ) ; that the condiion of armed anarchy that holds Cuba in degplating grasp must end is | . | , the President's fixed determination. ' "1 His hope that Spain tH! abandon the island either for a money consideration | or voluntarily is without avail. No Spanish statesman would dare to consent to yield- | | ) ing national territory. 7 | > , Dupuy de Lome formally notified Sagasta just before the holidays that unless | the present campaign ended the rebellion that he expected intervention. He told | Senor Canalejas the same, when the latter was in Washington. Senor Canalejas stated. to this correspondent that he expected intervention.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF PREMEDITATION | . CONTINUES TO CROP OUT. AT HAVANA. (Special from a Staff Correspondent, sent from Havana by the Post-Dispatch despatch boat to Key West.) ON BOARD THE POST-DISPATCH BOAT, HAVANA, Cuba, March 2.— “We are going to blow her.up mighty soon!” : That remark is said to have been dropped by a Spanish General on the very day that the Maine was destroyed. Two days afterward a man, whose name we have withheld for fear that if the Spanish authorities learned it they would cause him trouble, mysteriously came into. the rooms of the Post-Dispatch correspondent and said he had a friend who was willing to swear to a conversation he had overheard between two Spanish Generals, one Spanish marine officer and a Spanish citizen of Havana. The person in question was sent by the Post-Dispatch correspondent to Gen. Lee, who turned him over to the Naval Court of Inquiry last Friday. This wit- néss was before that court to testify. He said that on the morning of the day of the explosion he was a passenger of the ferryboat between Guanabacoa and Havana on his way to work; that on the ferryboat were two Spanish Generals, one Spanish marine officer and a citizen of Havana; that he heard one General say as the ferryboat was passigg the Maine: “We willnot have that ship much longer. We are going to get rid of her, and she will wish she had never come into our harbor.” The citizen asked: “Why, how and when are you going to get rid of her?” The General answered: “We are going to blow her up mighty soon.” _ The witness, an Italian, who thoroughly understands Spanish, was much im- pressed with what he had heard, and upon his arrival in Havana he immediately told his friend what he had heard, suggesting that he inform Capt. Sigsbee of the apparent danger his ship was in. His friend advised the witness to keep his mouth shut, as the General was only bluffing, and if he told the conversation he (the witness) might get into trouble. But the witness was so impressed that when he returned home in the evening he avoided that ferry on account of its proximity to the Maine, taking another line, which landed him nearly a mile further from home. That night at 9:20 o’clock the explosion occurred. cas A clerk in the office of the Consul General was used as an interpreter when the witness was before the court. The clerk was called before the court again on Satur- day. | SYLVESTER SCOVEL, Special Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. eo NO EUROPEAN POWER IS LIKELY TO HELP SPAIN IN A WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. LONDON, March 2.—Spain will not have the aid of any European power if war is waged with the United States. At least that is the opinion of all well informed politicians of note here. A rumor to the contrary is treated with entire incredulity in political circles of London. A Post-Dispatch representative discussed the question in the House of Com- mons lobby with several members of Parliament who are ackndéwledged’ author- ities on foreign affairs. All concurred in expressing the opinion that should war break out between the United States and Spain in relation to Cuba both powers would have a fair field and have no favors as far as European countries are concerned. Sir Charles Dilke, the highest unofficial authority on such questions in English politics, has already, at an earlier stage of the difficulty between Spain and the United. States, stated for-the Post-Dispatch his belief that no European power would intervene. He reiterates that view. Sir Charles Dilke said: “Nothing has occurred to alter my opinion in that regard, although I cannot believe that war is likely to take place. No European power has any direct interest in helping Spain.” Thomas Gibson Bowlés, M. P., who last night delivered a long and able speech in the House of Commons on the Far Eastern imbroglio, said to the Post-Dispatch: “T should think it most unlikely that any European power would interpose to help Spain or otherwise. I don’t see what power is to do so or why any power There is no European interest touched by this Cuban business that would tenfpt any country to meddle with it.” These statements indicate the general trend of opinion here, which, while re- garding the possibility of war as remote, treats such an eventuality as purely an affair for the two countries concerned. It is right to add, however, that the skepticism about the possibility of war ig not shared in diplomatic circles. A leading member of the St. James Club, where diplomatists principally fore- gather, told the Post-Dispatch correspondent last night that an official belonging to the Spanish embassy said to a circle of friends: “A rupture may take place any day; Spain being more likely to bring it about even than the United States. “The position of the Spanish government is becoming intolerable and the instant our Cabinet becomes convinced that the United States really means war Madrid will force the situation to a head.” The English press continues to ignoré the Cuban crisis editorially, though Washington dispatches describing its gravity are prominently published. DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS WANT A . PARTY EXPRESSION ON THE MAINE QUESTION. Special to the Post-Dispatch. | WASHINGTON, March 3.—The Democratic members of the House have asked the caucus leaders to call a caucus for one night this week. They want party action on the Maine disaster, and in view of a delay in the re- port of the Board of Inquiry want to make a protest. A MADRID PAPER SAYS “WE SHALL HAVE TO HEAR FROM THE SPANISH COMMISSION.” « MADRID, March 2.—The Correspondencia says: “Supposing the American commission considers the Maine disaster criminal, we shall have to hear the opinions of the Spanish commission. In case of a failure to agree it would be necessary to nominate a mixed commission. We remain firm in the belief that the Yankee commission will not find the explosion due to exterior causes and in case of a doubtful verdict we feel sure President McKinley would not wage war against Spain in the face of a European verdict to the contrary and that of the sensible portion of the American people.” GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE \ ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT.

NEW YORK, March 2.—There was much rejoicing at the office of the Cuban Junta this morning. Messages had arrived from the Cuban leaders, and all contained good news. ‘The men in the ffeld all told of suc- cesses over Spanish forces, and other lead- ers said that the civil government was in unhampered possession of the eastern part of the island. One of the letters was from Gen. Barte- lome Maceo, and said that the soldiers under his command are well fed and well supplied with arms. In letter to Secre- tary Quesada, former Pres'dent Cisneros Says that the Spaniards are not seen in Eastern Cuba outside of the few fortified towns they hold. The Cuban soldiers move about freely and unhampered and prac- tically control the agricultural district. Mr. Cisneros said that the civil govern- and that arrangements for the perfection of the posta! system are rapidly being made, Official announcements were made of the successful landing of the filibustering ex- peditions by Maj. Miranda and Dr. Joaquin Castillo. These expeditions left the Florida coast about two weeks ago and had car- ried quantities of ammunition and supplies to the insurgents. On Dr. Castillo’s reporting with the ma- terial, he had landed he was made a briga- dier-general for the work he had done, as he has been at the head of more than a dozen expeditions, HANCOCK ON TRIAL FOR MURDER He Shot-a Ticket Broker After Carry- ing a Note From Chestnut Street. The trial of Mathew Hancock, charged with murder in the first degree, was begun before Judge Zachritz Wednesday morning. The defendant was represented by H. E. Hofer and L. C. Jones. Circuit Attorney Eggers and Krone conducted the prosecu- wt ge portion of the morning session Was occupied by the attorneys in presenting their case to the jury. The State contends for a first degree mur- der. Hancock shot and killed George Hor- ton, a ticket broker, in the latter's office, at 813A Market street, on July 25, 1897. He had delivered a note from a woman on Chestnut street, who claimed to be the broker's legal wife. A dispute arose and Hancock was put out of the office. In ten minutes he returned, renewed the quarrel, and the shooting followed, Horton died that night in the arms of the woman’ he declared was his lawful wife. ae The defense will attempt to prove self- defense. he prisoner was a crawfish ven- der and was employed by women to carry notes. He is colored. His attorneys will attempt to prove that he knew nothing of the controversy be- tween Mrs. Horton No, 1 and Mrs. Horton No. 2, and could mean no offense by deliver- ing the note to the broker. It will be claimed that the negro’s return to the office was for the purpose of amicably settling the dispute, and that he did not shoot until Horton reached for a revolver.

EE . CAPT. EVERETT, WHO WILL WORK ON THE MAINE, WORKED 31 YEARS WITHOUT ACCIDENT. ; YOT AFRAID OF THE SHARKS. omething About the Armor Worn, the . lifeline and the Use of Electric Lights and Telephone in tle Sea, NEW YORK, March 2-—Capt. Charles Pverett, the most expert diver of the: Mer- ritt & Chapman Derrick and Wrecking 4 t Company, who has just gone to Havana @ ethe head of a band of divers to take charge of the work on the Maine, !s preseneoees u ‘everywhere as one of the most success men in his profession, and has been diving now for 31 years without an accident. He ig very modest in speaking of this fact, and merely says: “T have been fortunate so far. There isa great dea) in that. Of course I am always ccotedl not to run any unnecessary risks, and all our apparatus is examined to see that it Is in perfect working order before a diver descends, but even then there are certain chances of accident. Personally, I don’t think they are very great if a diver knowe his business. I feel just as safe when working under water as I shou on the deck of a vessel. I have been diving for 60 many years that every phase of the work is an old story to me now.” The diving suit which Capt. BPverett wears, and which !s the one generally used by all divers, is made of India rubber, with a helmet and breastplate of copper. Outside of the rubber, to protect it from hard usage, an extra suit of canvas overalls is worn, and after a rough piece of work this can- vas is frequently torn to shreds. Around his waist the diver wears a belt made of bars of lead fastened crosswise on a leather ban His shoes are of metal, heayly weighted, so that he can maintain an erect tion easily, ahd the entire sult with which he enters the water weighg about 175 This is necessary to enable him to to the required depth. The helmet is supplied with windows of thick glass, one in t and two others at each side of it, eo that by turning his head slightly inside the helmet the diver can see for some dis- tance around him. The air tube, upon which his abfiity to re- main below d nds, is of strong, rubber, through which the fresh air from above is driven down by means of a pump. This tube, before reaching the opening in the helmet through which the air is sup- plied to the diver, is carried through a ring on the breastplate at the diver’s left shoul- der. This is so that he may be able to grasp it quickly, without having to grope for it, in case he needs to signal to those at the pump above. One pull on the tube means that he wants more air and two pulls warn the pumpers that he is getting too much, If the air were supplied in excess, the suit would become so buoyant that it would tend to rise, and thereby Interfere with the diver’s -operations. After being passed through the shoulder ring the tube goes around and enters the helmet at the back. From here the air passes through a flat rubber tube to the top of the helmet, where the single tube divides into three branches, one of which goes down to the nostrils and the others to the ears. After the air has been breathed it pass on down inside the suit, inflating this suf- ficiently to overcome to a certain degree the hydrostatic pressure. Without air inside it, the rubber would be pressed against the qi ver's body and limbs by the wejght of the water, and would drive the,blood up into his head. There is another openipg in the back of the helmet through which the foul air its escape. 8 may be seen com- ing up to the top of the water in the form of bubbles. The liferope by which the diver ts low- ered and raised is about as thick as an ovyil- nary clothesline. It is wound securely about his waist and fastened under his arms. Thr pulls upon it signify to those above that the diver wishes to come up, It is possible to use electric lights under Water, but, as a matter of fact, it is not widwy done. Capt. Everett prefers to work without light rather than be put to the trouble of carrying and looking after one. “A diver has only two hands,”’ he says, “and if he has to use one to carry his light, he is vadly handicapped in his work. When I am in places where I cannot see at all, either by reason of the great depth or be- cause the water is muddy or foul. I work hy the sense of touch: Often I can do just as well that way as if I could see what I arn penenne. and this faculty is useful in night Telephones are sometimes used. where uent and detailed communication be- tween the diver and those above is desir- able, but here again Capt. Everett shows his preference for having as little extra in- cumbrance AS possible when he is below. He uses the telephone sometimes, but says that they are more or less in the way. ‘_rhey are said to be useful,” he remarked when a diver wishes to inform those above that he is caught fast, but they can always by the feeling of the life- line. It gets tangled sometimes among the wreckage below, but the diver can usually get himself clear again with a little time and care. Occasionally, when the bottom is of soft mud, he sinks 60 deep in it that he has to be pulled up by the line. 1 have often been up to my hips and waist in mud and have even, on rare occasions, sunk un. we mud was even with the top of my at is interesting to note the pressure which > ey ata great denth have to endure.

Thus a depth of 30 feet the diver is under a Pressure of 30 pounds to the square inch, or as he terms it, he has the weight of “Ciwo atmospheres.

Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. HAVANA,, March 2.—(By Post-Dispatch and World Tug to Key West)—Chief Gun- ner’s mate John Olsen of the American man of war Iowa has been exploring the wreck of the Maine as a diver for several days. He had an adventure in the wreck that has just become known. A companion was tending the air pump and the life line. The diver was stepping carefully in the most broken and twisted portion of the wreck, and was hanging perilously to the big bolts that hold the armor plates Suddenly the life line jerked violently out of the seaman’s hands and slid down into the water. Olsen had run into a great bulge in the massive iron hull, had lost his hold and had fallen to the very bottom, The attendants worked |iike mad. The life line became tangled, diver’s life seemed gone. Suddenly the rope became untangle, and up like a shot came the diver, delivered from a horrible death. Olsen calmly said: “Well, almost any American navy diver would be knocked off his feet by running into such a thing; but you bet I -would not let it kill me.”’ Later he said he had been forced into the very center of the ship by his fall. Never before in this affair has an expert diver met with such a thrilling experience. His plucky remark should make h‘m fam- ous.

KEY WEST, Fla., March 2.—Twenty-four officers and sailors of the Maine have been examined by the Naval Board and prob- ably as many more ‘yill appear to-day. On to-morrow an adjournment will be taken to Havana, where the court will listen to the expert testimony of the government divers who havé been at work on the wreck. The building where the court is held is the finest in Key West. Alongside of it are the low, gray walls of the naval station, where for the last half century American men-of- war have taken on their suppiles of cannon and grapnel, Che lower floors of the government resi- dence, as the red building is called, are taken up with the postoffice and’ custom house, From morning until night its hall- ways are crowded with the negroes, Cubans and poor whites who make up the greater part of Key West’s population. The court- room is upstairs. All of the witnesses for the day are placed in the outer room under the charge of a marine orderly. Another orderly paces up and down outside, keeping maritime law. The Judge Advocate desk is in the mid- dle of the little room. SBiue prints of the Maine and charts of izavana harbor are strewn about it. In t! rear of the Judge Advocate, in the In ir, are the members of the Hoard of Inquir Over near the window that looks out on the dusty, strag- Kiing street is the revoivibg Witness chair, Where sailor after salior yesterday told of the Maine horror Absolute secrecy is imposed upon all wit- nesses. Dishonorable discharge from the navy is the penalty that hangs over the head of any bluejacket who vidlates tals rule. Not only are the Maine’s crew not permitted to talk about the wreck with outsiders, but as an additional safeguard not one of them is allowed to give an ink- ling of his testimony to hiz shipmates. The orderly at the door to the innér room calls out the name of each witness as he 18 wanted by the board. He at once takes the witness stand, tells what he knows of the disaster, then leaves the building at once. The orderlies do not permit him to linger for a moment in the outer room, The testimony was all about the same. Summarized it would be this: “I was standing at my post of duty on the Maine as she lay in MWavana'’s harbor. There was a roar arda crash, and I was in the water. That’s all I know about the ex- on the Maine was as it should be.. Careless- ness did not blow her up. Something be- neath her hull did.’’ 9 Shin Carpenter Hams of the battleship Maine has gone to Havana to inspect the wreck to see if he cam identify the different portions of iron now above water. It is pos- sible that he wil! don a éiver’s uniform and make an examination of the different parts of the ship which are still under water.

HAVANA, March 2.—(By Post-Dispatch and World Tug to Key West.)—It is an- nounced that Senator Proctor and Col. Par- ker cf Washington have been detained here by Dr. Brunner of the Marine Hospital service. because they had not been vacci- nated. They are supposed to stay here un- til it is demonstrated that the virus has had the proper effect. Although Senator Proctor denied distinct- ly here and in Key West that his visit to Havana had any significance, it is apparent that he and Col. Parker take an unusual! interest in the Maine disaster. They have visited the wreck frequently tn companv with Gen, Lee and Capt. Cowles of the Fern. Senator Proctor and Col. Parker will un- doubtediv convey information to President McKinley on their return to Washington. The scheme of having a personal] inves- eessions here at Ten more enlisted tizatinge committee may add some- thing to the President’s knowledge, but he knew as soon after the disaster as telegrams could he sent from here to Key West for transmis- sion over the wires from that point that the explosion was from an external source, even if that information had not been conveyed to him in the cipher from this point previously.

North Limais now ®#c and South Lima Sc. The rapid advance almost jazes the operators, who dare not guess io what point it may go.

Mayor Ziegenhein’s investigation of the Monrotus-Forgey case has merely turned up a farcieal justification of the action of Vice-President Lewis. A recommendation that Monrotus be reduced on account of a, violation of a rule of the Police Manual was offered from Capt. Campbell, who, at the time ef the neduction, professed ignorance of the reason and said 7 faut Monrotus was a good officer. Ievery development of the case gives tt a darker hue. The vesterday gave the records of the two men. who was degraded without known cause, has an excellent reccrd of service and is on the roll of honor for bravery. J. L. Forgey, who was promoted to the ser- : geantcy held by Monrotus, had been degraded for a brutal assault. His record is not good. In the secret action by which Monrotus was degraded and Forgey was promoted; the law was twice violated. It was Post-Dispatch Peter Monrotus, violated in the degradation of Monrotus before his term ex- pired, without formal charge, trial or hearing. It was vio- lated in the preferring for promotion of a patrolman whose : record was not good. : The fact that the action of the board in taking the ser- ! geant’s shield from a fit man and the giving it to an unfit man was arbitrary, secret and illegal, gives special emphasis to the question.

The decision of the United States Supréme Court that the law fixing an eight-hour work day in certain industries in Utah is constitutional is a very important one for labor. The court stated that it was not its intention to pass generally upon the constitutionality of eight-hour laws, but in deciding that such laws were a legitimate exercise of the police powers of a State the practical effect will be to make the decision , applicable throughout the country. This decision ought to convince some of the croakers that there is no reason for the cry that no relief is to be had for labor's wrongs in the courts. The court upholds the idea that a State ought, in the ex- ercise of its police power, to guard the “health and morals” of its people as well as their lives. , ———— !

But is there no ground for the theory of §Spain's guilt? Past character Is a recognized factor in the determination ofa question of guilt. All the evidence as to Spain's char- acter tends to establish the theory of guilt. In Cuba, Spain recalled the most humane and enlightened military commander she had and substituted for him a no- toriously inhuman monster who was sent to Cuba with full power to inaugurate an infamous campaign of cruelty. Spain sustained Weyler and his barbarous course long after the civilized world was horror stricken by his infamies. Spain consented to the dooming of a whole people to starvation and condoned treacheries, atrocities and infamies beyond human credibility. . °*Weyler was not withdrawn from Cuba until Spain was € forced to withdraw him and the atrocities have not ceased with his withdrawal. This Cuban infamy is of a piece with the course of Spain whenever she has fad the power to wreak her will on the helpless. She has never refrained from treach- ery and cruelty, except when forced to refrain. : In the light of her black past and of her recent Infamies, Spain makes a wretched figure pleading at the bar of public opinion against conviction for treacherous cruelty. It is generous to hold a presumption of innocence towards @ nation charged with such a heinous crime. But it is wise ‘to look the facts in the face. >i Li ~~ Average circulation of the Post-Dispatch ia February: Daily, 103,107; Suaday, 118,386. coe The promotion of police officers with bad records, and the reduction of police officers with good ones, is not a scheme that can possibly produce an efficient police force. ns FROM THE BUSINESS STANDPOINT. Any public disturbance, event or governmental action that disturbs the legitimate business activities of the people is to be deplored, Interruption of legitimate business is to be avoided whenever it Is possible to avoid it. But it sometimes happens that Immediate legitimate business interests must be temporarily set aside in order to settle questions of great pith and importance to the people. Emergencies and crises ‘rime which so yitally affect the well being of a nation that : ‘r settlemept is paramounc to all other considerations. The lors of temporary profits must be suffered for the sake weater gain of permanent good. = business men, as a rule, have sufficient intelligence ‘t there are times when business interests must d | interests and have patriotism enough to sink é teresta in the public good. They are far- *e that a few dollars are well lost in order right settlement of a vexing, menacing “ge ‘en ll , any pursuit in any part of the world. They see that this is necessary to the dignity and security of the nation and to the growth and prosperity of commerce. This situation has been reached in the Cuban question. “It is emphasized by the destruction of the Maine through treach- ery. The situation has reached a point where considerations of Justice and humanity are coupled with considerations of the highest self-interest involving the vindication of national honor, the safety of Americans and the protection of business from continual disturbance, injury and menace of war. Fortunately business is not threatened with much hurt by the possibility of a war with Spatn. Even the stock market, which is sensitive to all threats, shows remarkable strength. But if the threat were worse we believe the business com- munity would reject with contempt the view of the “sordid fellows of the baser sort,”’ who denominate these grave mat- ters mere “tommyrot,” and would sacrifice all rights and interests to the present saving of a few dollars. Intelligent business men realize that the Cuban settlement is inevitable and that the sooner it is accomplished the better. We beli¢ve that they will heartily support the:Administration in just and vigorous steps to secure this end peacefully, if possible, through war if necessary. —~ —-———-s . a Average circulation of the Post-Dispatch in February: Daily, 103.107: Sunday, 118,386. t , >= = = re _—_ -— Regularly each month the Republic prints clerks’ state- nents purporting to give the actual number of columns of ad- vertising published during the preceding month by the differ- ent St. Louls newspapers. The latest was presented on Tues. day, when the Republic overstated its record for February 25 columns, understated the Globe-Democrat 27 columns and understated the Post-Dispatch 26 columns. It is fortunate for the other papers that they are not obliged to bill and collect for advertising space on the Republic’s bookkeeping. oe The point that every day’s delay in the report of the Naval Board of Inquiry is advantageous for the United States which is insisted upon strenuously, is not clear to the unprofessional mind. While delay gives us time for preparation it also gives Spain time for preparation. Delay of sufficient time to enable Spain to strengthen her fleet in Cuban waters would be decid- edly disadvantageous to the United States. It is easier to whip a navy in detachments than together. Oe The ferreting out of tax-dodgers depends very much upon the capacity of the ferret and also upon several other condi- tions.

ROBINSON TBLLS A FUNNY STORY. the globe. The Canadian Pacific receives $1,300,000 per annum in aid. Since its establishment it has received from Great Britain in sub- sidies, gifts and concessions $215,000,000, an equivalent of $10,000,000 a year. By aid of these immense concessions it is enabled to take trade from American railroads, and does it openly and defiantly. Mr. Elkins sald that the Canadian Pacific had been nicknamed by the railroad world “The Sitting Bull.” He said that the dif- ferentials demanded by the Canadian I a~ | cific aggregated from $30 to $60 per car to eastern and western cities less than by American lines, and cited the fact that in 1891 the American railroads gave the Can- adian Pacific a bonus of $600,000 to keep out of American territory. Subsequently the Canadian Pacific refused to take this sum, and have since been waging a war upon our raliroads. It is now cutting rétes against American railroads to get Kiondike trade, and is actually carrying passengers from New York to Vancouver, a distance of 3000 miles, for $38. Mr. Elkins said that the amount of busi- ness taken from American roads annually by the Canadian Pacific aggregated nearly $50.000.000. “‘This sum should be saved to the United States,.”’ said he, “to give em- ployment to our own people, and as trus- tees of the republic we should see that it CHRIS TELLS HOW IT HAPPENED. the United States to other points in the across the continent.

Secondly, he would compel obe- dience to interstate commerce statutes by all lines connecting with the Canadian Pa- cific. Thirdly, he would enforce section 22 of the present tariff law in accordance with its meaning and as it reads. “If we had enforced section 22 jlist as it stands on the statute books we would have had Canada to-day at our feet suing for terms to save Canadian Pacific Interests in our country, instead of suggesting what policy should govern us touching Cana- dian_matters and asking for a reduction of tariff rates as a condition precedent to the stopping of_killing seals. Canada has not only destroyed-our seals, worth $1,000,690 per annum, but continues through the Cana- dian Pacific aggressions to take away from our roads $50,000,000 per-year of legitimate business.”’ In conclusion Mr. Elkins satd_that we were on the threshold of a commercial war among nations for extension of cdm«‘ merce. The conflict is inevitable. “It seems now,” said he, “as if the United States would have to meet this war single-handed, asking no favors and expecting none. While we do not court such @ conflict, we need not shrink f:om it. The conditions as to our shipping and our commercial relations with Canada cannot be made worse. Any change wil] make them better.

The “Brush resolution’ was_ carried unanimously, It is a measure entitled, “A measure for the suppression of cbscene, in- decéht and vulgar language upon the ball field by players engaged in playing a game of ball during the championship season, while under contract to a club, member of the National League and American Asso- ciation of Professiona)] Ball Clubs, to the end that the game may retain its high po- sition as respectable and worthy, of the confidence and support of the refined and cultured classes of American citizenship.’ According to this resolution a_ tribunal consisting of three men of acknowledged business standing and reputation is ap- pointed, this tribunal to pass on all cases of rowdyism on the field. The first tribunal under this provision shall be composed of serve three years, or until his successor 1s elected; Louis Kramer, who shall serve two vears, or until his successor is elected, and Freda’ K.

Little Eddie Van Winkler, 6 feet 2, blew into the boarding house of his foster father, Charles Craver, 1229 South Jefferson ave- nue, last Saturday night, with a scalded arm and announced himself as one of the survivors of the exploded Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Craver fell upon the neck of their long lost son and shed tears of joy on his right shoulder blade. They welcomed him back to the old home and their bosoms swelled with pride as the stalwart Eddie regaled them with tales of daring upon the high picturing in fiery language the perfidy of the Dons and his own pblood-curdling experiences on board the ill-fated battleship when her brave sailors went down in the depths of Havana Bay. Eddie spared nothing in the way of ad- jectives, and by the time he had finished his description and displayed for the ’steenth time the cruel wound on his right arm, the foster father of the brave marine was undertaker of statagems and seas, Craver got to thinking.

Eddie had grown until he was five inches taller than he, Eddie had always been of a roving disposition. Three times he had run away. The last time was three years ago. He had always told a different story. Might it not be that he was romanding now? These questions bore themselves in upon the Craver brain. Finally the foster parent said to Eddie, the Salt: “Look here, my boy, 1 think you are a — liar. How does it come that you were on the Maine and were sent home, when the rest of the sailors are either dead or still in the hospital?’’ This was a poser for Eddie. thought like that.

LOUIS AUTHORITIES CLOSE UP THE GAMBLERS’ QUARTERS THERE. REVENGE IS NOW PROMISED. Those Arrested Claim Madison Sports Are Behind the Move and Threaten Other Action. “Bill” Tipton of Lebanon, IIl., with Con- stables J. W. Stone, J. H. Creed, E. 8. Guerney and William Southern of Lebanon Township Tuesday afternoon raided the “Island Turf Exchange’ which has been operating in a beer garden east of Cahokia for about a week. The complaint against the gamblers was lodged in Justice Zerweck’s court in Le- banon and warrants issued with the names left blank and ready to be filled in after the raid. Tipton and his deputies swooped down on the poolroom about the time the first play was on in the afternoon, secured evidence that the establishment was the real thing by watching the game a few minutes and spotting their men. Then they captured three attaches, who gave their names as William Daniels, W. H. Howard and Clyde Clay, all of St. Louis. The officers pressed a special train into ‘(service on the M. & O. and took their pris- oner to East St. Louis. The bookies had been “tipped” off on the raid and were prepared. mmediately the train bearing the law’s minions and offend. ers sped away from Cahokia, a message soliciting bondmen was dispatched to Attor- ney Charles B. Carroll, and Carroll was awaiting the arrival of the party at Past Side police headquarters. “Bill” Tipton, remained at Cahokia to see that the bookies did not resume business, as the play stopped while the raid was on. The prisoners gave bond for their ap- pearance in Justice Zerwecks court, in Lebanon, next Friday. They claim that they can beat the case, as the warrants charge them with being ‘‘keepers of a gambling resort,”” when, they allege, they were simply “spectators.” | The Cahokia gamblers claim that ‘“Bill’’ pton is under pay of the/Madison bookies ito close them out, and if they have to shut % up shop they allege that they will not stop at closing up the Madison outfit, but will assist the St. Louis authorities in ferreting out every gambling device in St. Louis. “If these Madison chumps believe for a minute that they can continue to play the whole public, we'll show ’em a trick with a hole in it,” said a Cahokia ‘sport this morning The game at Cahokia is running with due regularity to-day. “We are looking for ‘Bill’ Tipton and his sheriff-boom every minute,” said one of the bookies. “But we imagine ‘Bill’ wfll hold out Jonger than his race for the shrievalty unless the Madison sports send in a freh supply of funds.”’ THIS VICTIM WAS EASY PREY. It Cost Peter Smith $35 to Buy the Drinks in a Wineroom. Peter Smith is the latest victim of the wineroom robbers. Smith is stopping at the De Hodiamont Hotel tn the West End. At Seventh and Walnut street, at 10 o’clock Tuesday night, he met a woman who per- suaded him to go with her into Dock Sweeney's saloon, 4 South Fighth.

Doctor Copeland’s New Treatment, that has lifted the darkness and blight of the word “incurable” from hundreds of ‘thousands of these cases of diseases in the ’ ’ | Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs, works its curative action for two reasons: (1) It reaches every sore spot, from the orifice of the nose to the deepest part of the lungs, to the innermost re- cesses of the middle ear. (2) Instead of irritating, isflaming and feeding the fires of the disease, it soothes, quiets, heals and cures. What is the treatment that cures these conditions, once regarded incurable? By what process does it restore the diseased membrane, remove the poison and relieve the hearsypsewne of disease? Let the expert- ence of persons cured and being cured tell. G. Nearen, Collinsville, of Deafness and Ringlog Copelan ary H1., Cured Noises by Doctor DEAFNESS FROM ACUTE DISEASES. All know that with Measles the throat 1 sore and inflamed, and you can understand how the inflammation of the throat that goes with Measles so often extends into the ear tubes and produces deafness; and how those who have the sore throat of Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria, and Typhoid Fever, so often notice on recovery from these sick- people, however, who have Measles, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria and Catarrh do not be- come deaf, but all who suffer from such troubles are liable to become deaf. The reason why all such persons: do not become deaf is that in some cases the inflammation set up in the throat does not extend into the ear tube. When disease of the throat has passed into the ear tubes the hearing rarely if ever is restored until the disease that blocks up these tubes has been cured in tts new seat. People who have had Measles, on recovery usually find that the throat gets well again, but in cases where the disease has extended into ths ear tubes the inlam- mation set up there remains until something is done to drive it away. This is true also where disease of the ear tube has resulted from Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria and even Catarrh. . Curing disease in the throat will not relieve ah oS that has resulted from that disease. is necessary to use an en- tirely different course of treatment, one that will reach the seat of inflammation in the ear tubes themselves, which no ordinary treatment for Catarrh has ever been able to do. . Upon this is based the marvel of the restor- ation of hearing by the Copeland Discovery. CURED BY HOME TREATMENT. Adam Rhein, Belleville, Ill.: “ ness and ringing noises had troubled me for ten years. I couldn’t hear the ticking of a watch or clock; and when people talked to me they had not only to speak very loudly to make me hear, but I had to give them the closest attention. The noises in my head were like the sound of escaping steam. I read in the papers of the many cures ef- fected by the Copeland Treatment and took it with the happiest results. “T am well pleased with the treatment, as it perfectly restored my hearing and stopped the noise in my head.” RIGHT EAR WAS STONE DEAF. Charlie Schnur, with the Ohio Liv- ery and Boarding Stable, 1014 Ohio avenue: “When I went to Doctor Copeland for treat- ment I had been stone deaf in my right ear for cver 12 years and besides was troubled with ringing noises in my head. “When I closed my left ear I could not hear the loudest sounds. “T went to a number of doctors for treat- ment and did not geceive the slightest bene- fit until I went to Doctor Copeland, through reading the statements of people who had been cured of deafness. He restored my hearing perfectly, and with the cure of my deafness the ringing noises in the head stopped entirely.” DEAFNESS FROM DIPHTHERIA. Mrs. Mary G. Nearen, Collinsville, Ill.: “I had been deaf 31 years, caused from an attack of diphtheria when a child. Both ears were affected and I was also troubled with noises in the head, I couldn't hear the sermons at church nor the whistles of the engines at the coal pits, 1 couldn't hear the trains, and for that reason was afraid to cross the tracks. Several doctors pro- nounced my deafness incurable, and for that reason I didn’t think it worth while to try to get cured, until I was persuaded to go to Doctor Copeland by a friend of mine. He cured me perfectly and I am very happy indeed that my hearing is restored.” DEAFNESS FROM LA GRIPPE. Miss Emma Fleming, 3505 Lindell avenue: “For eight years I suffered with deafness, which gradually became worse and worse until I had to quit teaching school. A severe attack of la grippe caused my deafness. “J did not dare go on the street without gome one accompanied me. “I faithfully and conscientiously followed the course prescribed for months, and though sometimes I became a little dis- neartened yet I never gave up hope, and ° the my expectations are fully realized, for physicians have treated me hearing Is a grand re . = tl Copeland with perfect 4 _ , hte’ + ee eee ie rs we. “ds i 2 Se M@ ¢ 7 | TEREST, SP nesses that their hearing is affected.

Phv¥sicians who assume to diagnose any lung dis. ease should be thoroughly prepared fon the delicate task, as no mistake could be more serious for the patient than to ell him that his lungs are affected while the disease is yet in the Brom chial tubes and capable of arrest and cure.

He gave her all kinds of nasty medicine—cod liver oll, ete., and said that she might live until the leaves came out. “T took her to Doctor and he relieved my mind greatly by assur- ing me that Stella did not have con- sumption. , “His treatment had an immediate good effect, which has continued and to-day she is hearty and strong, without the slightest sign of ill-health.

Was the examination of these witnesses conducted within the province of a grand jury, the duty of which is to inquire into the probability of a crime having been com- mitted against the State, or was testimony adduced to show that the assault was com- mitted, but with provocation? If such was the case and a precedent were established for a grand jury to adduce, ac- te and be guided by such testimony the criminal courts would have little excuse for existence. The members of the grand jury decline to talk of the affair, and indignantly resent 7 questions put to them which carry the imference that the grand jury does not know its business. Each juryman who was sought to be interviewed by a Post-Dispatch re- porter declared that the ape exacted of him to reveal none of the deliberations of the body prevented them discussing the case and making known the facts learned which warranted the ignoring of a man’s action in firing at a fellow citizen. At the same time one and all became indignant when it Was intimated that the failure to return a true bill against Dr. Simmons and his son was remarkable, and especially so when considered that the chief defendant had upen previous instances been charged with similar offenses against the State and never yet paid a penalty.

Jailer Huebler says that of late too much disturbance has been created because of the stuff that has been smuggled. In a dress skirt that was passed through for Emma Henderson nine packets of co- caine were found. A large quantity of opium was found in a box of cigarettes. Besides these Jailer Huebler says large quantities of whisky managed to pass the guards and find its way to the prisoners. “I do not know that Rolfe actuallp passed any of the stuff, but I believe better order cart be obtained with another guard,” said SWALLOWED AMMONIA Henry Miller Thought He Was Taking a Bromide. * Because Henry Miller of 23833 Howard street mistook ammonia for bromide of potassium, he will probably have to be sat- isfled with liquid nourishment the rest of his natural life. Miller was suffering from insomnia. About 4 o'clock Wednesday morning he arose and took what he supposed was the bromide bottle from the medicine closet. He poured out a wineglass full of the stuff and swal- lowed it at a gulp. He was immediately made aware that he had made a mistake. His mouth and tongue and throat were terribly burned. Dr. Kearney_ relieved him at the City Dispensary and sent him home. The doctor says stricture of the esopha- gus will probably be the result, which if it does not cause death, will bar solid foods from the stomach forever. A CLASH OF AUTHORITY. Denied That a Company of Catholic Knights Have Disbanded. Tt is denied that the St. Louls Company, Uniform Rank, Catholic Knights of Amer- ica, has disbanded. There appears to be a clash of authority. The statement was published that Capt. John Walters of the company had reported to Major General Nordhaus of Vincennes, Ind., that his company was insubordinate, and the Major General] at once annulied the charter of the company. It ‘is claimed that Mr. Nordhaus is not legally elected Major General of the de- partment, and his orders will not be rec- ognized. The assertion is also made that Capt. Walters is not in charge of the com- pany, as he was asked to resign on account of being charged with conduct unbecoming Mr. Kadeski claims the St. Louis company is in good standing.

Judge David Murphy went on record Wednesday morning as being opposed to hypnotism and practices of the art. * Samuel G. Leake of 3013 Easton avenue was arraigned in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection upon a charge of petit larceny brought by Mrs. Helen Van Sice of 3039 Locust street. She claimed that he was withholding $10 that belonged to her. The defense was that Mrs. Van Sice had loaned the money to etart a real estate bul- letin of which Leake was to be the marti- ager and was to give her a $4 per week situation. Nothing was said about the occult science until Leake took the stand in his own be- alf. “What is your business, Mr. lLeake?’’ asked the attorney. 3 “I am a hypnotist.”’ “What's that?’ asked den interest. “IT said I was a Rypactin. /**You have been here before, you?” asked Judge Murphy. ‘Yes, sir, and was discharged.”’ “Well, I'm afraid you are skinning peéo- ple instead of hypnotizing them,” said the court. ‘“‘I’ll send you to the Workhouse for six months.’”’ CONDE PALLEN APPEALS. the court, with sud- haven't the Circuit Court. Conde B. Pallen has appealed from Justice of the Peace Cline im the suit against Mrs, Corinne Bogy and Eugenia Benoist for the possession of family portraits, which Mr. Pallen claimed were wrongfully held by the Justice Cline decided in favor of the de- fendants, and said they were entitled to the the originals.

Bushnell, who are wanted in Montgomery County, Mo., for fraud, It is said that Hamilton represented hien- self as a member of the real estate firm of Hamilton & Co., 813 Chestnut street. A month ago, it is alleged, Hamilton and Bushnell swindled William Fahner, Robert I. Price and Charles Fener of MecKittrock, Mo., out of $4000. They had $4000 worth of stock that they wanted to exchange for St. Louis real estate. They put an advertisement in the St. Louis papers and Hamilton answered it. The three McKittrick men came to the city and met Hamilton. They were shown a piece of property in the West End valued at $7000. A deal was made and it after- ward developed that Hamilton did not own the property. Chief Desmond says he does not know anything about Hamilton nor Bushnell.

AN OBSERVATION TOWER. Col. Sterritt and Others Interested in a Novel Scheme. There is a proposition on foot to build an iron tower, 300 feet high, on land adjacent to Forest Park, equip it with elevators, and surmount the structure with a plat- form that will accommodate several] hun- dred persons. The land selected is the high- est point in city and county, and from such tower it is claimed persons can see the county for a radius of 25 miles. The projector of the scheme is Col. F. M. Sterritt, secretary of the St. Louis Com- mission for the Omaha Exposition. Several gentlemen are interested with Col. Sterritt in his proposed plans, and corre- spondence is now going on with various iron manufacturers for the parrese of getting estimates on the cost of the structure. It can be run at a small cost, and a small fare would be charged those going up on the elevators. RISKED HIS LIFE FOR THEM. Woman and Two Children Saved by John Caldwell John Caldwell of-1010 Chestnut street saved a woman and two children from be- ing run down by a maddened horse Tuesday afternoon, and aithough he sustained three broken fingers and a number of severe bruises, he held the animal until the danger was over. The episode occurred at Broadway and Pine street. The runaway horse came west on Pine street from Fourth. The lady and children were directly in its path, and the were too frightened to move. Caldwell’s heroic and prompt action alone saved them. He rushed into the street, swung to the bridle and held on until the horse fel] and threw Caldwell over his head. He retained his grasp on the bridle, however, and was holding the horse’s head to the ground when Officer McCormack went to his ald. SOUTHERNERS AT SOUTHERN. A Marriage Decided in Haste of Per- sons Prominent in Dixie. Mr. Fisher Morgan Southworth, a young attorney of Greenwood, Miss., and Miss Priscilla Shel Prince of Carrollton, Miss., were married at the Southern Tuesday evening. : Miss Prince is the daughter of the late Capt. W. B. Prince, an ex-Confederate, and whose estate consists of large cotton plan- tations in Le Flore County, Miss. She and her mother have been visiting relatives in St. Joseph, Mo., since last summer. They arrived in St. Louis yesterday on thelr way home, and were met at the Southern by Mr. Southworth. It was suddenly agreed that the marriage should take place. THE NEED IS NOT PRESSING. So the Government Relief Expedition to Klondike Will Be Abandoned. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 2.—The Klondike Relief Expedition will be abandoned. Secre- tary Alger will communicate to Congress that the necesisty for rellef does not exist, that the conditions of starvation have been exaggerated and that certain contractors have sought to profit at the expense of the government. The reindeers tmported from Norway to be the outcome of a remarkable rivalry be- a John Jacob Astor and his cousin, m, Waldorf Astor. Over on the east sid of the Twenty-third ward John Jacob Aster owns a —i piece of land, and the land lying immediately north is owned by Wm. aldorf Astor. A street known as Wal- dorf place riins through the land of John Jacob Astor from Exterior street to Crom- well avenue, at East One Hundred and } Fifty-first street. Henry B. Ely, one of the trustees of the property of John Jacob Astor, has sent a petition to the jocal Board of Public Im- prevemen of the Twenty-fir¢t and Twen- y-second Districts, asking that the name of Waldorf place be changed to Ferncliffe place. In his petition Mr. Ely says: “The street in question is locate on land own to the north o owned by Wm. Waldorf Astor. It is therefore somewhat confusing to have the name wal eee to the street, which is not yet opened, on property owned by ohn Jacob Astor, and gives the impression that the ownership is other than it is. “Ferncliffe is e name of J, J. Astor’ Cpantty seat, and ts identified with him.” The local board approved the petition, but to make the change the legisiative br h of the government must pass the resolu- tion, the Mayor must approve it, and even then the board of public improvements can not raake the change, provided the corpora- tion counsel finds legal objections. MR. HAWKINS PLAYED ’POSSUM. | monia Brought Him to Life.

O’Brien seemed came up and rolled him over. He to be dead. A trol was summoned and he wagon was taken to the Fourth District station. He was still apperently dead and he was gent to the Clty Dispensary. He was carried into the operatingt room on aA stretcher. Dr. gar Thompson thought he @id not look like a dead man, Some ammonia fumes applied to his nose brought him back to earthly troubles. “Where are you hurt?” asked the doctor. “Search me, I don’t know,” said Haw- kina. Dr. Thompson searched him, but found not a scratch. Hawkins was taken back to the Fourth District station and locked up.

Otto, well known to charit- able workers as manager of the Door of Hope Mission and the Hephzibah Home for Women, wants a divorce from her husband, John Otto, She filed the suit Tuesday and slipped out of town. The mystery af her present whereabouts is still unsolved. Her wards at the Door of Hope and the Hephzibah Home will not MRS. M. BD. OTTO. tell where she is or when she will return. Non-support and incompatibility are the grounds for divorce set forth in Mrs, Otto’s |' short petition. No details are given except that the mis- sion worker and John Otto were married Dec. 24, 1877, and separated in 1894 The wedding took place in Anquilla, Miss. There Mrs. Otto’s parents reside.

One of the rules laid down by Mr. Smith of the House is that “a vote on the passage of a vetoed bill cannot be reconsidered.”’ The mourners in the House of Delegates do not agree with Mr. Smith. They say he was a false alarm and they know more about parliamentary business than the whole Smith family. which does not It is this: “When a majority of the House of .Del- @gates say a thing it goes.’’ A majority of the House of Delegates want to see the North & South Rallroad bill stalk forth again. A majority is not enough to pass the measure over the May- or’s veto. It takes a two-thirds vote to do that. According to the mourners, and Speaker Lehman says they are right, jority vote on a motion to reconsider. The programme is to do this and then, as the necessary two-thirds cannot be mus- tered at this time, a motion wil! be made to lay the bill on the Speaker's desk. veto have been secured. ; Speaker Lehmann admitted Tuesday af- ternoon that the possibilities of this sort of a maneuver had been canvassed by the mourners, but affected to believe that the plan would not be carried out. “It undoubtedly could be done,”’ he said, “but the bill is dead now and I guess it would be the best thing to let it stay dead. I don’t think they will move to reconsider the bill.’’ As chief mourner, Speaker Lehmann knows whether it will be done or not. He could have made a positive statement, but he was content to say he did not think the cpreceny considered Coup would be exe- cuted. YOUR BOY NEEDS NEW CLOTHES?

This year Music Hall may not resound with the notes of stirring music played by a famous band, but may be relegated to the position of an auditorium for the exhibition of side attractions, Before the Coliseum was built Entertain- ment Hall served this purpose, but it was demolished to make room for the bDig arena, Tuesday a conference of Exposition dli- rectors was held at the Mercantile Club, Though results were not given out, it is known positively that.the advisability. of charging an admission fee to Music all was discussed at length. President Clark H, Sampson spoke in favor of the proses. If the plan he proposed ts carried out the afternoon and evening concerts by Souse’s Band will be given in the Coliseum. The ban’ would occupy a raised platforth in the center of the big arena. The acoustics of the Coliseum have been pronounced second only to those of the great Mormon Temple at Salt Lake City and Mr. Sampson believes the band woul be heard to the best possible advantage there.

MARY’S BROTHER SMASHED THE PROSPECTIVE GROOM WITH A BASEBALL BAT. CARTED OFF IN AN AMBULANCE. The Trouble Was That John Was Short of Funds and Asked to Have the Wedding De- layed. There was to be a quiet wedding at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning at the home of the Gillianbergs, 4830 North Broadway. Instead. at that hour pretty 19-year-old Mary was upen her bed with inconsolable grief and her lover, John Keyser, was at the warrant office with a bandaged head and an application for a summons for his sweet- heart’s brother, Tony. John called around to the Gilllanberg home Tuesday night to arrange the last prelimi- naries for the wedding. The reception he got caused a hurried trip in an ambulance to the North End Dispensary. For three years John has known Beary. and the fact that he proved an efficient he!p in Tony’s butcher shop served to increase her admiration for him. Six months ago t was arranged that the young people should marry. Mrs. Gillianberg thought it was a good match and Tony nodded his ap- proval. But business did not continue brisk at the shop, and a few weeks ago it became neces- sary to reduce expenses and Keyser was temporarily laid off. He still courted comod F ee eee a but it was agreed that the wedding shou be postponed. Last week John got a job on North Jeffer- son avenue, and Mary’s brother looked to him to keep his word with the sister. Tuesday Keyser called at the North Broad-. Way house and frankly stated that he had not money enough to marry, and asked that the ceremony be delayed three months, Mrs. Gillianberg objected and the young man consented to a wedding on Wednesday. EPpy | night he called again to see that all was in readiness. Mrs. Gilllanberg had told herson Tony about Keyser’s request for another delay, and that young man was an- ery. According to the story told by Keyser the woman bitterly upbraided him and when he started to leave the house Tony smashed him in the mouth with his fist and whacked him over the head witha baseball bat, making an ugly scalp wound. Covered with blood; Keyser says, he stag- gered from the house into a saloon, from which he was taken to the North End Dis- pensary, where Dr. Randall, dressed the wound. , At the warrant office Wednesday John said he was anxious to marry Mary, but her family are now opposed to it and have for- bid him coming about the premises. He had no witnesses to the “assault and Col. Johnson refused the warrant. * SEX IN MUSIC. A Critic Discovers Something of In- terest to Dr. Schenck.

The ~ liners are wearing an ra plume ee bonnets and are enabled to crow over WASHINGTON ON AVENUE. From the South and Great Southwest. . Washington avenue hasn't known such a prosperous spring for years. From Sixth to Tenth street both sides of the thorough- fare are lined with a steadily moving crowd of men and women, who are here from every part of the South and Southwest to trade with the merchants of St. Louis. The visitors will remain from a week to ten days each. As they depart, man by man, other out of town merchants will step in to take their places, and when April comes and the business rush is over and the strangers have all gone to their homes, hundreds of thousands of dollars will have been left in St. Louis by them. It is to the credit of the wholesale busi- ness men in all lines of this city that St. Louis has held, in the face of great odds, her place as a commercial center. New York boldly made a bid for Southern trade early in the spring by securing a low frieght rate by water. Tempting letters were cir- culated throughout the coveted section, and when St. Louis heard of it her bus.ness men not only met the cut out of their own pock- ets, but had the advantage of time in the shipment and arrival of goods at their des- tinations, All the old customers were thus retained, and many new ones were gained, so that to-day the wholesalers of Washing- ton avenue are in a position to say that business this year in all branches has in- creased over that of last year at least ® per cent. Last year was not a tight year, either. The sales laid over generously the sales of the three or four previous seasons and when‘ the year was reviewed the merchants con- pratulated each other upon the incteased usiness. And now, in the teeth of war ru- mors and the general disturbance of the Government, a bigger trade has come to them than the most sanguine wholesalers on the street had even looked for. A feature of the immense number of strangers who are overflowing the hotels and congesting the avenues of the wholesale district is the vast attendance of the ladies, Lower Washington avenue, between 11 and 4 o‘clock has come to look like the city’s main promenade on a matinee afternoon. The ladies have the right of way. They are the miiliners who are inspecting the spring styles. Some of them come from the In- dian Terr.tory and some from Loulisiana. The only scarcity in the throng ls the Mis. sour! miliiner. er time is not yet. Ac- cording to the jobbers and wholesale firms the Missouri miiliner doesn’t flourish until the latter part of the month. She Is as- sured that all the novelties and choice of- ferings of stock will not be gone by the time she arrives, and she has also learned that the buyers from the more remote sections will be given -the first call on the fright service.
