Friday Morning He Stepped From One Track to Avoid a Switch Engine and Was Caught by a Burlington Train. Edward Ferguson, aged 15, of Kansas City, was struck and probably fatally in- jured by a Burlington passenger train Fri- day morning, just north of Bremen avenue. He is at the City Hospital with serious internal injuries. Young Ferguson lived with Capt. James McClellan on the Union Sand Co.’s digger Jeannette, at the foot of Anglerodt street. He came there a month ago looking for work. To Capt. McClellan he told that he had run away from a good home in Kansas City. He said his parents were dead and that he had been living with an aunt, who in- sisted upon his going to school in the day- time and keeping off the streets at night. His uncle, he said, was the auditor of a telephone company and well to do. The boy chafed under the restraint and once before ran away. He was only gone a week or two when he returned home penitent.

It is said that the President fealizes this, and for this reason he is prepared to go to the extent of recognizing the independence of Cuba and backing up that recognition if Spain assumes to consider it as a hostile act. The prompt payment of an indemnity for the loss of the Maine in case no official interference is proved would probably be followed by an offer of some kind of mediation between Spain oy: and her rebellious subjects. A refusal of indemnity would result in the immediate occupation of Cuba by the United States, and at the same time there would come & declaration recognizing the independence of the republic. , This policy is the only plausible explanation of the President's request of $50,« 000,000 from Congress and the unparalleled dispatch with which that request was ranted. : A dispatgh from Key West says that both official stenographers have now lefg the Court of Inquiry at Havana and it has only a temporary clerk.

ON SHIPS OF WAR. The United States officially div des ite sailors into first, second and third seamen. In the first class are 6 seamen proper, those who have @n expert technical knowledge of eir profession and experience in it. the merchant service such a man is called an “A. B.,”” that is, an able- bodied seaman. Below the seaman is the ordinary seaman, who is not quite 80 well up in his profession as the Seaman. Then in the third class are the landsmen, who have not “hed the advantages of a seafaring educa- tion,”’ but are willing to learn. As to what the duties of seamen are, og Pre pay: all “that a sailor is put on ard a ship for, and ‘“‘what- ever tho says, and that quickly."’ A. gunner is a warrant officer. He 4iffers from a commissioned officer in serving by virtue of a “warrant” and not a commission, and is not in the line of promotion. He is of a ade between the commissioned of- es and the petty officer. ‘The regulations say of the duties of a gunner: “He shall faithfully comply with the ordnance instruc- tions in reference tot care, preser- vation and use of ordf&ince material. When at sea he shall carefully at- tend to the security of the battery and use every effort at al) times to prevent injury to any part of the armament. He shall faithfully super- vise all ordnanc@® work and carefully eollect data for the ordnance retuzgns. He shall report to the executive and ordnance officers any repairs to the armament or other work in his de- partment that he deems necessary, etc.”’ A gunner’s mate is a first class petty officer, who has taken a course nh gunnery, and is nominally an as- sistant to the gunner. , As to the marines, they are sea- going soldiers, a body of men who are enlisted for service afloat and yet are not sallors, being trained and } disciplined as infantry. 7 - — > 7 __ > > — > > > > . . . > . . 5.2.8 2 2.6 2 a's a e's e's 'e's a's’ a's "a a'e ace captain Whi ‘ s ‘ .* act " 4 ; ‘ : } ‘ mye _ sy ey , ‘ . ¥* \ : . . , \ . . ~ Fy)’ _ -— . wehiNp ot » i \\ W i ire ‘ -* . > OO ee OO BOSTON, Maes., March 11—In view of the strained relations between the United States and Spain and the pos- sibility of a rupture between them, he American Peace Society, through ite General Secretary, Dr. Trueblood, has asked the Associated Press to make known its request “that pray- ers be offered in all the churches throughout the mation on next Sab- ‘bath that the God of peace may de- liver the nation from the dire ca- lamity of war, with all its present and future disastrous -consequences to the people.’’ ‘ ' , TT naa es Ce ee ar er er ‘ox SO i ee ee CC ——— a 3 ou > _ Te ae ar mj Pa ot eae,” .

AGAINST AMERICANS PUBLIC CLAMOR ON THE INCREASE AT HAVANA. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. ON BOARD THE POST-DISPATCH’S STEAMER CONFIDENCE, HAVANA HARBOR (via Key West), March 11.—The situation is growing more and more serious, although Havana continues ominously quiet. The police are arresting men whom Weyler had banished and Blanco pardoned. The Government tensor is almost stippressing the local press ‘by red-penciling and cutting out inflammatory articles. The conservative, as well the sensational dailies here are yielding to public clamor for action against “American aggresssion,’ is called. American newspaper correspondents may be expelled Saturday. as it Gen. Blanco is doing his best to stem the tide of public anti-American sentiment, but two big Spanish warships afloat and one American warship sunk in Havana Bay | are having an influence, which is growing daily. Inflammatory circulars are increasing. The widely circulated illustrated paper, Don Quixote, pictures Americans as inoffensive pigs, dripping with gore from Span- ish bayonets, and the lower classes know no better. In consultation with the Court of Inquiry, Gen. Lee suggested an admirable thing. It was to have the armored cruiser "New York and the battleship Iowa just drop into the bay for their captain and commander, respectively, then drop out agian. That would be an object lesson to Havana, which is greatly needed, without any danger of losing another ship, for neither would stay long.

Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. (Sent across the Spanish frontier to the nearest telegraph station in France, in order to avoid the censor.) DRID, Spain (by way of Bayonne, France), March 11.—It is an open secret that French financial interests, backed by French diplomacy, and the French Cabi seem much embarrassed and hurt by the critical state of the Spanish finances, net, the rise of foreign exchanges, the decline of trade and other circumstances consequent upon the colonial wars, the condition’ of the Spanish railway companies and of many other enterprises in’ which French ‘capital is largely interested. Therefore, very strong influences have been brought to bear upon the Madrid Government to promise to do something to have the next parliament vote a law to assist the railway companies. In compliance with these demands of the French bankers and capitalists, Spain is promised support in the Paris money market in negotiating @ large loan, té be guar- anteed, however, by the revenue of her tobacco monopoly. Spain is given to understand that the same financial influences might secure for her at least the moral support of the French Government in her Cuban difficulties in international complications which might arise out of the Cuban question.

It is THE AUXILIARY CRUISERS. OUT designed to give vessels of the Caracas and Seneca type a main battery of eight 4-inch guns, and from six to eight rapid-fire ma- chine guns. Those of the Vigilancia class are designed to have a main battery of six 65-inch and four 4-inch guns, four 1-pound- ers and three machine guns. The batteries of- the auxiliary cruisers on the Pacific coast, if those should be called in use, are substantially singjllar, 6-inch guns being the} sareest ones designed for use in that serv- ce. The ‘Navy Department finds ftself in com- paratively good condition as to the supply of automobile torpedoes, which constitute one of the most 2 wren d engines of naval destruction. The Whitehead torpedo is now in general use, although a few of the How- ell class are still on hand, (fifty of the Whifehead torpedoes were secured a short time ago, and with these there is a total of about 350 on hand. This gives not only a full outtit for vessels now in onstanioalon. but also the necessary reserve supply. ——— i LOOKING FOR A FLEET OF TORPEDO DESTROYERS. NEW YORK, March 11.—Speaking of the possibility of the United States obtaining naval vessels abroad John Piatt of Thorpe, Platt & Co. of this city, the American rep- resentatives of John I.

Acting upon suggestions received in Washington, however, i have consulted members of three or four shipbutiding concerns in thig country relative to the quick construction of vessels of the Thorn- craft type.

He fired two shots at the flying robber, but without effect. At 10:30 o’clock Friday morning Patrol- man Meany arrested Thomas Eagan at. his home, 1014 Collins street. He was locked up at the Fourth District Police: Station, where he was positively identified by Dr. PiepD. The physician and Patrolman Meany were at the warrant office Friday morning. warrant charging robbery in the first de- gree was issued. ‘I was néver more astonished in my life,” said Dr, Btape to a Post-Dispatch reporter. I had just left my: office at 1317 North Broadway and walked to the corner of Broadway and O’Fallon street, where I was going to take a car, I noticed a young man walk out into the street as though he in- tended taking the same car. I did not pay any attention to him and a thought that he would attempt to do me violence never once entered my mind. The car was almost upon me when the fellow stepped up close to me and with hig open hand dealt me a terrific blow. e- struck me right in the neck and the force of the blow knocked the | wind out of me “I sank to the ground and for the mo- ment I was helpless, As I was falling I felt the fellow reach for the diamond pin I wore in my scarf. He wrested it from the tie, tearing it from my neck. Then without waiting to go through my pockets he ran. “I was down only for a moment. I. had & revolver in my pocket and as I raised myself to my feet I drew it. The man was running east on O'Fallon street and I fired twice. Neither shot took effect. “IT am positive that Hagan is the man. I would know him among 10,000.”’ The police say Eagan is one of the most desperate thieves in the old. “Bloody Third” district. He has served both workhouse and penitentiary sentences. SUIT ON LIFE INSURANCE. Widow of Caspar Beimfohr Commences Legal Action.

PROSECUTION IN THE DALY MUR- ‘DER CASE SAID TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A, POINTER. PROTEST OF DEFENSE LIKELY. City Official and Political Circles Are Well Represented in the Witness Box. When the Daly murder case tn Judge Fiit- craft’s court is given to the jury it is ex- pected that Attorneys Ashley Clover and Juhn Gernez, who represent Daly, will enter a formal protest against Deputy Sheriff Bocock to have charge,of the jury on the ground that he has exhibited prejudice against John Daly, the prisoner. The story floating about the courtroom and which is fully verified, is that during the trial, late Thursday afternoon, Bococa wa sreminded of some trouble Daly Is said to have had with the police a few years ago. As soon as he ‘heard of it, it @s al- leged, he conveyed the information to As- sistant Circuit Attorney Krone. Just at that time ex-Justice of the “Peace McCon- nell was on the stand as a character wit- ness for Daly. fh The Circuit Attorney made good use of the ointer given him by iBocock, and brought t out as: prominently as possible. . Deputy Sheriff Bocock was recent ad- mitted to the bar and takes a keen interest In cases coming up in the court where he serves. The greater part of the time Friday morn- ing ‘was consumed in hearing the testimony of character weer among whom were Jailer Huebler, C Y, Attorney Clover, Butler, Jr., Coroner Wait and others eq y prominent tn official and _peetioes t Interest in this generally uninteresting case is heightened by the attendance in court of Mary Folles, the pretty 17-year-old daughter of Lalu Folles, the woman whom rd killed at her Walnut street apart- ments. The contrast between the youn rl and the female witnesses Is 60 marked as to attract general attention, he is ts So pretty and there is something about her countenance unmistakably denoting imno- cence. The youns woman did not live with her mother. For several years she has m her home with relatives in an interior Ili- nois town. ; It is generally pr . that no punishmegt than’an ordinary penaity murder in the second degree will be posed upon Daly, and there are many who say the defendant will be acquitted. A ver- dict may b ereached Friday night. CANAL INSPECTION DONE. Commissioners Appear to Find the Work in Panama Satisfactory.

Attorney Jeff Storts Engaged and They Wilk March to the Place Designated .and Insist re Their “Rights.” In the face of the frm declaration of Members of the Quartier Latin Club that they will give their “hot time’ mask ball at IAederkranz Hall Friday evening, not- withstanding the objections of the Lieder- kranz Society, it is safe betting that the project will be abandoned, so far as that particular hal! is concerned. President Meyer of the Liederkranz As- sociation has refused to turn the keys over to the Quartier Latin Club, and he says the only way a ball could be given in the hall Friday night would be for the royster- ers to break in through the windows. This they will not be allowed to do, because the hall will be surrounded with police, placed on guard by Chief Harrigan at the special request of President Meyer. On the contrary, leading members of the Quartier Latin Club insist that the. ball will be ven. Holders of tickets, they claim, will get their money's worth, and at Liederkranz Hall, too. Friday afternoon they will deliver at the rear door of the hall all the supplies for the bar and lunch rocen, and at 7 o'clock in the evening they will make legal Gemand for possession of the hall. Jeff D. Storts, the unterrified Four Courts attorney, will represent the clubein its legal clashes with the ‘Lieder- kranz society. The jurid poster which changed the mind of the Liederkranz members after they had already engaged the hall to the Quartier Latin b is a huge blanket-like affair known to grinters as a three-sheet. It is arge letters with red ink and reads as follows: mee SAY! TALK ABOUT THE REAL GOODS! You Will Get It With That Rich, Rare i French Flavor on It at the SWELL BAL MASQUE, To Be Given by the Quartier Latin Club at LIEDERKRANZ HALL ey Chief Harrigan says he anticipates no trouble whatever at the Liederkranz Hall muster night. The Latin Club will prob- ly G0 nothing more than make a formal and upon the Liederkranz management or admission to the hall, he says.

DEAD MAYBE KEPT NEW MUMMY COMPANY HAS BEEN FORMED IN PHILA- DELPHIA, PA. ——-— WILL BUILD A MAUSOLEUM. Modern Process of Pieserving Bodies Is Said to Se 2 Complete Succosgs. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 11.—Do you wish to be thhanded down to future ages in propria persona? It may be done for you at reasonable cost if the new mummy com- pany projected by Reese Carpenter of New York and other men of that and this city get to work. It is proposed to build huge mausoleums on the apartment house plan in cities that will be in the true sense of the word fitting homes for the dead. These buildings will be in different styles of architecture, Greek, Romanesque or Egyptian, and they will be practically arranged and artistically and commodious!y fitted up. No expense will be spared to make them attractive. Private rooms will be sold in them, juet as lots are now disposed of in our every-day ceme- teries, and here the purchasers can lay their dead to rest. The bodies will be mummified by a sim- ple process that will effectively preserve them for all time to come. When a body is taken to the proposed mausoleum it will immediately be placed in a specially pre- ared sepulchre, made ready to receive it. his sepulchre is a little larger than an or- dinary coffin, and the body is placed in it prone. At the head of the sepulchre is a small hole to which its attached a tube, through which, by* means of a fan wheel, a current of dry chemicalized air is genily driven over the remains, escaping through a similar hole near the feet. Prior to enter- ing the s@pulchre the air passes through an open vat of sulphuric acid. The chemical action of the acid upon the air remeves all moisture from. it. After leaving the coffin or sepulchre the air passes through a hot furnace and returns to the outer world through the coffin. The bdody ts sub- ected to the dry air process for 30 days. hen the body is In a state of preservation in which, it is claimed, it will remain for centuries. The features do not alter in the least, nor does the skin discolor. The latter, it is said! attains a white, marble-like ap- pearance ‘and the flesh becomes hard and rm. While the process reduces the weight ee body it does not seem to reduce its u , Unlike the ancient Exgypt'an methods. which necessitated the swathing of the subjects In endless bandages, the bodies, sub ected to the new process will be laid out without other clothing than such gar- ments as are now used when they are placed tn the coffin. Several scientific men, who have dis- sected bodies ge to the new em- balming process, c “re interstices were left where the fatty tter had been, and the dry‘ng of the muscular ard fibrous tis- sues had changed the interior of the sub- ject to a cellular and sponge-like structure. and while the skin remained as white as in life, it was found to be dry and hard, hav- ing a feeling somewhat like leather.

Prof. Driscoll] Intended to Die With Her, but Did Not Succeed. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 11.—Despond- ency, due to advancing age and depleted finances, cansed Prof. John WL. Driscoll to poison his wife and attempt his own life. Driscoll is a teacher of stenography, who came here from Atlanta several years ago and established a school.

WASHINGTON, March 12.—After a debate in thé House which lasted more than five hourstthe Senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill providing for the free en- try of ceded Indian lands was yesterday non-concurred in by a vote of 99 to 136. The friends of the free home clause made a gal- lant struggle, but they met the opposition of some of the prominent leaders on the Re- ublican side, Messrs. Dingley, Grosvenor, alzell and Payne, and they were further weakened by the fact that many of the friends of the proposition were -allenated by the belief that, as drawn, the amend- ment would work injury to the agricultural colleges of the country. The Senate amendment for the ratification of the Seminole treaty was also non-con- curred in after the substitute proposition of- fered by the conferees to ratify the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache treaty had fallen un- der a point of order. The action of the House sends the bill back to conference with the non-concurrence on all the Senate amendments. COL? VANDERBILT ALLEN DEAD. His Death Occurred in Italy, Where He Was Wirtering.

He was a graduate of West Point and dur- ing the war made a record so good that he was breveted Major. He resigned his com- mission and went to Egypt with the famous Gen. Stone, who was made a Pasha by the Khedive. Allen fought in the Khedive'’s army and was made a commander of ths Order of Medjidi.

MORE LETTER CARRIERS St. Louis Force to Be Increased Soon by Twenty-Five Men. Postmaster James Carlisle has received word from Washington that the St. Louis letter carrier force will soon be increased by the addition of 3% men. This is thought to be the outcome of @& recent issue between Congressman Joy and Assistant Postmaster General Heath as to the alleged unfairness of the allowance to St. Louis. Boston has 664 mail carriers. In this city there are only 297. In Boston carriers make six and seven delivery trips jn the business section; in this city four add five trips are made. In St. Louis resid@nce districts two trips are made per day;/in Boston Uncle Sam grants five deliveries a day. Postmaster Carlisle, with his small force, must necessarily assign some men (to large districts. The result is that in some dis- tricts the morning delivery, which should take place previous to 9 o'clock, is delayed until noon. In Tyler place, where the houses are scat- tered over a vast territory, considerable ceaanplaint has ‘been made by residents wh object to the late delivery. ° With the addition of the 2 carriers the Postmaster expects to overcome these diffi- culties by placing an “‘extra’’ man here and there. Mr. Carlisle says that the vast street car postal service here accounts a great deal for the discrepancies in the number of men in the two cities. The railway service here does the service of over a hundred men. THE ORDER OF B’NAI BRITH. Oratory and Music at Shaare Emeth, Followed by a Banquct. The open meeting of the B’Nali Brith at Shaare Emeth Temple Thursday night brought out an audience which filled the building. The object of the meeting was to place before the public the principles and aims of the largest organization of Jews in the world. The audience was disappointed, in not hearing Julius Bien of New York, the Pres- ident of the order. He was unable to be present on account of iliness, but he wrote an address which was read by Jacob Furth after he had delivered the address of wel- come. The President’s address reviewed the origin and history of the society, the work it had accomplished in the elevation of the race and the record of its growth throughout the world, even to the seat of the ancient glory of Israel. Phil W. Frey of Evansville, past President of the order, and Simon Wolf, iVce Prest- dent, were the other speakers, and an ex- cellent musical programe was rendered. At the conclusion of the exercises a large art of the audience adjourned to the Co- umbian Club, where a banquet was served = honor of the visiting officers of the or- er.

THE “DAY” ELECTRIC ROAD TO BELLEVILLE TO BE PUSHED TO COMPLETION. FARE WILL BE TEN CENTS. The Cars Will Bun Over 1 Private Right of Way and Make Great Speed. The St. Lou's & Belleville Electric road let the contract Thursdey for grading the double track roadbed between Belleville and Lenz Station to John B. Vogt. T. D. Enright, who has the contract to that point, completed the grading in the American bottom Thursday. He will re- move his camp to the top of the bluffs Saturday and begin work on the Donovan land. The two grading forces will méet at Lenz Station. Mr. Vogt expects to be through .a three weeks. It will probably take the other force longer, as there is a good deal of filling to be done. The electric tracks wil] almost parallel the Air Line tracks to near Phoenix Station, where the former will cross the latter on a bridge. President John A. Day safd Friday that the rates had not been officially agreed upon, but they would probably be 20 or 2% cents for a single trip, while a commutation rate of 10 cents will made. The cars of the Day road will be 45 feet long and vestibuled. he road will run the entire distance from East St. Louis to Belle- ville over a private right of way, and it is expected that the speed will almost equal that of the steam road. Mr. Day will engage experienced motor- men in St. Louis and expects to give the public first-class service from the first. The road will be pushed rapidly to completion. The hearing of the arguments in the in- junction guit of the Suburban road against the me road, which were begun in the Belleville Circuit Court Wednesday, have been continued to next Thursday. A wappromentan bill has been filed by the Turnpike company, to which a demurrer was ertered by the Day company. The decision will determine the question as to the prior rights of the Turnpike com- pany and the rights of Winstanley Village and St. Clatr Township, both of which have granted franchises along the Rock road to the Day company.

The action of Vice-President Lewis in ordering the reduction of Sergeant Monrotus, whose record was excellent, and the promotion to his place of Patrolman Forgey, whose record was bad, is not a matter which concerns merely the persons inter- ested in the change. : It was not merely an act of personal injustice on the part of the Vice-President, to reduce the one and promote the other. The effect of the injustice is not limited to Monrotus, nor the effect of promotion to Forgey. It was an act affecting the entire community. Instead of rebuking. the Vice-President the Board of Police Commissioners sustained him. It accepted as a sufficient ,eason for the act a farcical recommendation trumped up after the act. It whitewashed the whole affair and thus assumed responsibility for it. The act of injustice was made the act of the Board and thus a precedent was set for the domination of personal interests regardless of merit or the good of the service, in police management, police appointments, reductions and promotions. The personal pull is substituted for merit as a means of getting promotion. Gov. Stephens controls the Board through the appointive power and, by refraining from rebuking this disgraceful action, tacitly approves it and encourages such demoralizing conduct as the policy of his Police Commissioners, ¥ The nct was contrary to public policy, to the written law and the interests of the entire community. It tends to undermine discipline, demoralize the police force and thus endanger the lives and property of citizens. eee Regular Circulation of the Post-Dispatch last Saoday, 122,286. toe The North and South grab by any other name will smell as bad. cessesees 122,286 a Lp ir — -S |S SPANISH IN THE SCHOOLS. Mr. Henry Studniczka takes etrong ground against the teach- ing ‘of Spanish in the High School. The proposal is utterly without foundation in common sense or utility, and ‘Mr. Studniczka’s characterization of it as a mere fad involving a waste of school funds is strictly true. _Every Bigh School boy has a training in Latin, and this is duite enough for him to make a beginning in Spanish com- inercial correspondence. If he desires to perfect himself in the language, he can do so at his own expense and not at the public charge. In his fight against this folly Mr. Studniczka will receive the support of all but the educational faddists and perhaps a few interested persons. ' Let us have more common sense and less whim in educa- tional theory and practice. And above all, let public instruc- tion be so ordered that the greatest number, the people who need it, will be satisfactorily served with the necessaries of education before luxuries, which only the favored few can enjoy, are offered. > ote “In my time,”’ says Congressional Veteran Galasha A. Grow, “we used to vote $500,000,000 in a lump.’ That, however, was when Americans were fighting Americans and the job was an unusually tough one. : , A THREAT AND ITS REPLY. -There is something significant in Russia’s ordering the ex- penditure of $70,000,000 for an increase of the navy following on the heels of England's proposal to expend $240,000,000 on the army and navy. On the surface England and Russia are not on the verge of war, yet these enormous appropriations for armaments strik- ingly Suggest a threat and its reply. There are several points of irritation between the two nations which may break out in a war flame. In this situation may be found the cause of the persistent reporte of friendly offers from Great Britain to the United States, and the marked change of tone of the British press, which has drifted from criticism to extreme sympathy. En- gland may see in-mutual troubles a chance to bring the two great English-speaking nations into close relations of friend- slup if not of actual alliance. ee Otherwise she is insane. coo THE OVERHEAD WIRES. The absurd situation regarding the city’s overhead wires is the result of having the city’s business managed by poli- ticlans instead of by bugjness men. After compelling mdiavens corporations to bury their Wires, the municipal corporation finds itself with its own wires remaining alone on the almost derfuded poles of the private corporations, and without money provided to put the wires underground, In addition to this, the situation may furnish an excuse for the private corporations to leave the ugly and dangerous poles standing indefinitely. Why did not the city authorities foresee this state of affairs? Why were not the necessary steps taken, at the time of the passage of the law providing for conduits, to bury the city wires? Why are we always treated to the sight of the city’s business being traneacted less intelligently than that of a private corporation? Evidently it is because the authorities are politicians first and business men, as far as the city’s in- terests are concerned, last, Spain is “blufling.”’ a i i - S The President must save his party.

The politicians who constituted the “friends in court” of the gas corporations in the fight to turn over Philadelphia's gas works to a trust triumphed. The minority of reformers who saw nothing but evil in the movement were defeated. The masses in the Quaker Cihty who use and pay for the gas did not beetir themselves. They will now have to pay for their apathetic folly. Already it is developing that Philadelphia has made a very bad bargain. The United Gas Improvement Co., which got the lease, has allowed a subsidiary company to be organized to carry out its contract with the city. This subsidiary com. pany, known.as the Bquitable Illuminating Gaslight Co., bas sold in New York $7,500,000 bonds, $3,126,000 preferred stock ‘and $4,375,000 common etock.’ This represents a capitalization movement saw that supplying gas to Philadelphia was a “g00d thing” and intend to make the most of it while they have the opportunity.

Parker, who accompanied Senator Proctor on his Cuban tour, says that Gen. Blanco’s order reversing the concentra- tion policy of Weyler has not yet gone into effect. Phis is testimony vital to the question of Spain’s policy in Cuba. The horrors that existed in Cuba under Weyler’s regime still exist. Spain has done nothing to mitigate them. Months after Weyler’s recall and Spain’s apparent consent to & more humane course Weyler’s barbarous policy is still in e‘fect, and the conditions that make for the extermination of the Cuban population still exist. If the Blanco order were re- versed, says Col. Parker, it would give little relief, because any one going outside of the Spanish trocha surrounding each Cubar town is Mable to be shot down by Spanish soldiers. It is impossible to send enough supplies to Cuba to do more than afford temporary relief to the stagving people. So long as they are kept penned up the task of saving them from starvation and disease is hopeless. If they were fed and sup- plied with seed and permitted to cultivate crops the relief work weuld be effective. The fertile soil and favorable climate of Cuba would soon enable them to become self-supporting. But Spain, despite her professions, stands in the way of effective relief. She is practically pursuing the barbarous course which she pretended to reverse. Charity intervention is vain. There must be more effective intervention. The criiel grasp cf Spain must be loosened at once, if the helpless and innocent population of Cuba are to be saved from extermina- tion. Free Cuba in the immediate future is a humane necessity. To postpone this end for a month would be equivalent to post- poning it until after the rainy season. This would be the practical execution of the Weyler decree that doomed a whole people to death. —— While Reed is Speaker the rest of the House is a needless expense. The Czar does everything that is done and nothing can be accomplished without his consent. This is a very de- grading condition for the supposed representatives of the people. As economy is now our policy, every member of the lower house should be dismissed from the public service. A river and harbor appropriation is needed as much as a Spanish war fynd, but it is néw certain that no river or har- bor is to get anything. The present Congress seems desirous of bringing the nation’s; commerce to a complete standstill at home as well as abroad. = = * a If the recognition of the Confederate States by Spain was not a cause of war, why should the recognition of Cuba by the United States be a casus belli?

A Colonial gentleman, who now sits on the Wandsworth and Clapham’Board of Guard- ians, amused his colleagues at their week- ly meeting by stating during a discussion upom the best manner of dealing with local inebriates that they had an excellent way of checking excessive drinking in Manitoba. When a man has been twice or thrice com victed of drunkenness in the police courts, he was sentenced to wear a brass collar, which marked him out among his fellows as a person to whom no publican could with impunity serve liquor. The drastic measure often proved a cure.

Engiand and Canada wanted the measure to begin on the oceanward side of the island, the delimitating line to be run acroasg the inlets. These inlets are numerous and extend into the mainland a great distance, and the decision is of much importance to the United States. The United States has agreed to the Brit- ish retaining the boundary on the limit of the Chilkoot Pass and the 'White Pass, be- cause in the Russo-British agreement of 1825 the line of demarcation was fixed as one running along the tops of the moun- tains. Advices from Ottawa say that iy | deci- sion, while not entirely unexpected by the Cabinet, is regarded with disfavor. It was understood that the British Government was irritated at the forwardness of the Canadian Ministry, but it was not thought a ogg surrender would be so Sweeping as it is. SERUM SEEMS A SUCCESS. Brazilian Government Honors the Man Who Cures Yellow Fever. NEW YORK, March 11.—Advices received from Rio Janeiro state that Dr. Samerelll, who has recently met with great success in experimenting ‘with his yellow fever serum on patients in Sao Paulo, delivered a lecture and was given a reception in San Pablo this week. Senor Campos Salles, Brazil's president- elect, assisted at the reception and made a short speech congratulating Dr, Sanerelll on his success. The sanitary department of Rio de Janeiro has invited Dr. Sanerelli to visit that city. On leaving Rio Janeiro the doctor will go to Madrid to take part in the International Medical Congress, —_. ee — “8! A POLICEMAN’S LIMIT.

FOLSOM, Cal., March 11.—A counferfeit- ing plant has been discovered within the walls of the State prison. The work was done in the engine room by Convicts L. H. Coyne and James Brown, and, so far as known, only nickels were coined, presum- ably because no silver could be obtained. The men were detected in the act of man- ufacturing bogus coins by guards, who had been told of what was going on. When the officers rushed in Coyne and Brown leaped throu a window and threw their dies and crucibles into a canal lead- ing to the American River. A large oumber of well executed 6-cent pleces were found. They were made from babbitt meta] taken from the engines which run through the prison grounds for the purpose of hauling rock from the quarries. It is thought that the dies or molds were not made by the men who coined the money, but by some of the eo counterfeiters in the prison, The impression prevails among the offi- cers that it was the intention of the con- victs to coin a great quantity of nickels and then ship them gut on the freight cars where their friends on the eutethe could give them in exchange for opium. Several of the bogus coing have been found tn circu- lation in the town of Folsom. PHILADELPHIA BOODLERS. Charges of Bribery in the City Council to Be Investigated. PHILADELPHTA, March 11.—The rumors of lobbying in connection with the several bills before city councils for the transfer of the city waterworks to private corpora- tions which have prevailed for. some time had their culmination in a direct charge of attempted bribery made by a member of pt council at a qeeting of that body yesterday. The meeting was a epecial session called for the consideration of the measure known as the Schuylkill Valley water bill. Shortly after it had ‘been taken up Walter WN. Ste- venson, member from the ‘Thirty-second Ward, declared that he had been offered $000 to vote for the bil. Other opponents of the bill@ollowed with remarks corroborative of Stevenson's charges, and amid great excitement a mo- tion was adopted, by a vote of 67 to Gl, to indefinitely postpone the consideration of the bill. At the regular session later tin the day a resolution was adopted providing for an immediate and full investigation of the charges by a coaenmittee of seven. An amendment to the resolution was adopted directing the committee to also make fu! investigation of the charges of bribery in the passage of the bill last (November which leased the city’s gas works to the United Gas Improvement Co. for a period of 30 years.

Tom Sharkey and Joe Choynski fight at San Francisco to-night. They are to go ® rounds, but may not get so far along as that. In fact the fighting promises to be on the hurricane order, und the fight is likely to be over before the two have gone half the alloted distance. Who'll will the Geht wae the question put to many of St. Louis’ leading sports this morning. Here are a few opinions: Tom Kelly: It will be a funny fight, a big, powerful fellow with scarcely anv science at all.against one of the cleverest of boxers. I can’t for the life of me pick the winner, and I am not going to try. Tonimy Cahil:/1¢ Sharkey fights fair Choynski will knock him out inside of twelve rounds. If he don’t, why, then, the fight will likely last the 2 rounds. I don’t Shark in eight rounds. Ghariey Daly: Choyhski ought to win, Bharkey when here knéw nothin about boxing. He «ay have improved since, and an wrestler and one of the best boxers in America. ‘With the right referee Choynski olught to have a oinch on the Mike Moonéy: It’s like a fight between a Greco-—Rom eer But if Sharkey is given a full lee- way his rough and tumble tactics may win out. It’s hard to say who'll win, There is No real way to figure it. Spider Kelly. In the twenty rounds Choyn- ski ought to get the verdict. I don’t think either will score a knock-out in that time. arkey may rough it, Dut the other ellow may keep away from him and wear im out. Tom Allen: It shouldn't last very long, and one or the other ought to go out early. Choynski having promised to quit the ring if he doesn’t win this fight, is evidently go- ing to win it. He has met Sharkey before and knows now et od just how to win from him. We shall see. Moll Doyle: I never saw a man with less science than Sharkey. I don’t see how he y going to lick Cho and he can’t lick im if they fight fair. Bob Douglass: The last time Choynski promised to put Sharkey out in eilght rounds, but falled. I think this time Choynski will win, being by far the most scienced man of the two and having learned Sharkey’s mode of fighting. Sharkey has also learned much since their last meeting, but he is very slow, and, barring his weight and superior strength, he should be no match at all for aoe beng Danny Daly: Sharkey might fool us all. He is a wonderfully powerfu) fellow. No one has ever licked him good, while all sorts of folks have put it over Joe. course, he’s os slow as a cart /horse, but if you can’t hurt him how are you going to lick him? Jack King: This fellow, Sharkey, is no pie. All sorts of fellows have tried to Mck him and failed. None of the big fellows could do him. _§8o0 how ts Choynski going to get there? 1 look for a draw, or perhaps an accidental knockout. With’ two such good fighters, it's hard to tell just what will ap- pen. . Brownlaw Sexton: This man Sharkey’s bad medicine—very bad medicine. I think Mr. Choyneki will have a very large con- tract on his hands to-night.

The officers of the Washington Park Jookey Club of Chicago met this week but the subject of a race meeting during the approaching summer was not discussed. “Ail chances of a meeting faded away with the adjournment of the ‘Legislature without passing a law,” said ‘Director A. 8S. Gage, “and since then all thoughts in that direction have been abandoned. individu- ally, IT am free to say I think it too bad that such a meeting cannot be held. HEvery merchant in Chicago would be benefited by the coming to the city of the vast crowds that would attend % days of racing at Washington Park. Derby Day alone means the spending of thousands of dollars among our stores. TI think an event that brings 89 Tmany people to the city, whether it is a racing meeting or some other kind of a meeting, ls a good thing for Chicago. But the Legislature has not passed the law, 80 there you are.”’ Secretary Howard says there is no au- thority for any étatement of plans on the part of the ‘Washington Park Club to run races this year. Secretary Howard speaks kindly of Col. Clark, the presiding officia) at Hariem, who has made the statement that he believes Washington Park may at- tempt a meeting, yet it is generally known that should the exclusive Chicago track decide to conduct a meeting it would not take other Western tracks into its confi- dence in the matter.

He could hardly believe his own ears. He asked to have it read again. Then Chairman Jones approved of the resolution in a few brief, forceful remarks, and the new commissioner began to suspect something. At his request it was laid over. This happened six weeks ago. Recently Chairman Jones called the resolution up, and in order that the reasons ifor its adop- tion might appear of record, offered the fol- lowing as a preamble: “As the Board of Election Commissioners are likely to be required at any time, as heretofore, to sit as a quasi-judicial bod and decide contentions and disputes whic may arise between factions in either politi- cal party, or in both parties, and in order that the board may be relieved from any possible taint of bias, prejudice or unfair- ness, it is therefore resolved as the sense of this board,”’ etc., the etcetera being the resolution previously quoted, as introduced y Mr. Saunders. . The whole is now ready for adoption, and will be passed at the next session of the Board. : “How do you like the resolution?” Brady was asked, A ‘Tt hasn’t been adopted yet,” he said. “Anyhow, I won't talk about it.

Itis accomplished by a sim- ple club plan. The members of this club, upon pay- ing a slight entrance fee, at once become a rivileged class of this community.

Louls company will test the consti- tutionality of the new insurance law gov- erning benevolent associations. The law went into effect six months ago. It caused dissatisfaction among officials of many mu- tual and benevolent ineurance companies, but those operating in St. Louls complied with its provisions with the exception of the International Benevolent Association. This organization has offices in the De Menil building. Its President is Dr. H. C. Lloyd, formerly of Kansas City. Dr. Lloyd and State ty hapyp ent Ed T. Orear have been engag in a controversy ever since the new law went into effect. The com- gh refusal to submit an annual report as caused Superintendent Orear to in- struct the Attorney General to enjoin the company from doing business in the State. This order was issued Wednesday. It will! be acted upon at once. Prior to issuing th® order Mr. Orear received letters from a number of policy holders of the company who believe its methods were not regular under the law. Dr. Lloyd said Thursday: “It is true we are not operating in conformity with the new law, but we are operating under our charter in cempliiance with the old law. While we do not want to take initial steps we will welcome litigation by the State as it will give us a chance to test tre law. IN ONE BIG FEDERATION.
