WASHINGTON, April 8—The Washington Ambassadors of Europe's great nations regard war as the only solution of Spanish-American questions. They have gone through the form of tendering the good offices of their governments to avoid a conflict. But this is merely a form. It is always observed on occasions of this — kind by neutral nations. Inquiry at the foreign embassies and legations to-day made it plain that there is. no purpose to take further action. : One of the best informed diplomats ~sgsely summed up the situation to-dav “Spain has placed her back against the & Sl, determined to yield no mo“ the heroic efforts of the Queen Regent. ards peace, by granting -extremt —s sions, seems to be overruled and the ra element is in control,” iia sea In connection with: the women oF the-3dWers, mitch interest’ is showa in fie! ia- ” dividual action of the sevéral governments which signed the joint note. | : No significance i$ attathed to the fact that the Gerrhan Ambassador was. the first to sign the document and that the British Ambassador's signature is toward the end. It was determined, when the signatures were attached, to take the country alphabetically, so that Allemagne (the French diplomatic word for Germany) came first, with Austria, France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia signing in the order named. Russia and Italy have taken the least interest in this joint action, sdltionst they joined asethe result of influences brought to bear fromthe foreign capitals. Neither has the German Government shown any ardent interest in joint action, The Spanish Legation authorizes the statement that no dispatch of any kind has been received as to the sailing of the Spanish fleet from Cadig, Secretary Long . also says he has received no advices as to this fleet. ' PREPARING TO ACT WITH OR WITHOUT THE PRESIDENT. WASHINGTON, April 8.—Will the President send his message to Congress Monday, or will he again disappoint the country? | Members of Congress who are opposed to further delay are preparing té act with or without the President. The Steering Committee of the Republican House conference appointed last Wednesday to canvass the situation and ascertain how many Republicans will, if the President’s message does not go to Congress next Monday, join with the Demo- crats to secure action upon a resolution declaring for Cuban independence and armed intervention, met at 2 o'clock. Mr. Lorimer of I}linois, one of the active spirits in the movement and a member of the Steering Committee, says that over 100 of the House Republicans have already agreed to act with them. He is confident however, that they will not be obliged to_join with the Democrats to overrule the Speaker in order to secure action. “I am satisfied,” said he, “that once we show the Speaker that we have a majority of the Republicans he will not stand in the way. The Speaker has not up to this time believed that a majority of his party desired to act, but onee evidence of that fact is presented to him I| have the strongest reasons for believing he will bow te the will of the majority.” The time of action on recognition of Cuban independence is an important ques- tion. It is given out the President will not touch this In the Senate it is claimed that a majority of 12 will vote for the Foraker resolution—directing the President to recognize Cuban independence and drive Spaia from Cuba at once. THE PRESIDENT NOW SEES NO PROSPECT OF PEACE. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 8—The President believes that only two things cas avert actual hostilities—the backdown of the United States or the humbling of Spain. The first is impossible; the second seems just as unlikely, Both would mean governmental upheavals—perhaps revolution. The programme is: Monday—the message. Then—Congressional action Then—war. This is the only prospect in sight. It is the improbable than can avert it. Meanwhile Spain has been bluffing through Minister Woodford, frightening that estimable gentleman exceedingly. | : Two nights ago he alarmed the country by informing it that the fleet at Cadis was in motion, presumably on its way. to the United States. Later advices show that he was totally misinformed, and that in fact he had been imposed upon by the Spaniards in this as we'l as other reports of activity and wonderful preparation. ' The fleet is still at Cadiz, and it is not in very good condition. | Spain is patriotic and is getting ready to fight, but is still a long way from being ready. The air in Washington is fully of ugly talk about Wall street influences and their far-reaching nature. Grumbiers abound, too, who instst that the $90,000,000 war appropriation has been spent recklessly. But the question—war or peace ?—overshadows all. Every suggestion at the War and Navy Departments this morning is war. -.« itors are impressed with the unmistakable signs that the armed warriors of (he United States are about to engage in a conflict with a foreign power. Both Oeanches have planned for a demonstration on land and on sea the moment the ime er for such a move, and, said a military officer, it will be such a showing as Spain, and afford a surprise to our European friends: _. ; > _ Naval authorities arg anxious to.pave Lec and sll os) a Nae coeblaathatediibc te Tag a RT in ot ay te.

The rebels destroyed the Canamba estate belonging to Germans. to their Government and representations were made to Madrid.

Spain, therefore, can have no objection to this Government dispatching a punitive expedition to that plantation to punish these desperadoes that Spain was powerless to hold in check.” In pursuance of this policy Emperor Wiliam has ordered the Gelier to sail toward Cuba.

THE WIFE SAYS HER SON TOOK THE PISTOL FROM HER HUS- BAND’S HAND. THE BOY CONTRADICTS THIS. Mrs. Jordan Creates a Scene at the Hospital by Upbraiding the Pa- tient and Testifies to His Misconduct. rank Jordan is at the City Hospital and will probably die from the effects of the four pistol shot wounds in his body inflicted by his stepson, Harry Dawson, about 11 o'clock Thursday night: Dawson is locked up at the Four Couris. Dawson claims that the shooting was in defense of his mother, who was being brutally beaten by her husband. His state- ment is corroborated by his mother and a neighbor. Jordan is too weak to make a detailed statement. He merely says he was doing nothing improper and the attack was wholly unjustifiable. Jordan, who is 43 years old, is a clerk in Schulz’s department store, and lives on the third floor at 710 Market street. His wife, May, is 35 years old, and with them live her children—Harry, 19 years old, and Nel- lie, a cripple, 12 years old. Jordan and his wife have had numerous quarrels of late, and for four days Jordan has remained away from his home, The quarrel began when he left was renewed when he returned home Thursday night, and Harry Dawson took his mother’s part. Mrs. Jordan called at the City Hospital Friday morning to see her husband. She was accompanied by Mrs. Maggie Farrell of 822 Market street. They went straight to the wounded man’s cot. He was suf- fering greatly and looked appealingly at his wife. She was excited and began crying. Jordan was too weak to speak. “You brought it all on yourself,” she ex- claimed, ‘‘and you deserve all you got. If you had treated me as you should this never would have happened.”’ Jordan shrank from her and cried out. The hospital physician interfered and said that the intérview must -tgerminate. As Mrs. Jordan left her dying husband's bed- side she was met by a Post-D.spatch, re- porter. “I don't think he will die,” she said. “I believe he is just putting on.’’ The woman had a black eye and several bruises on her face. She pointed to her discolored eye and said: “He did this. We have been married six years He never gave me anything but abuse: Though he works he always kecps}{ his money, and I have to support the family by taking in roomers. He always mis- treated me and my little girl. He came home last night after being away four days. SHOT TO SWE [ppsremmstiecerce AND SUIT SALE.

He treated that poor little cripple, Nellie, in the most outrageous way. He subjected her to the most awful indignities. And he has whipped Mrs. Jor- dan, to my knowledge, more times than I have fingers or toes.”’ Harry Dawson was seen in the holdover. His story differs materially from that o. his mother. The boy works at the Chris- topher & Simpson iron works and was never arrested before. “T was at home last night when he came home. He said he was going to leave an began packing up his stuff.

Owing to the illness of a daughter Dr. and Mrs. Johns slept down stairs Thurs. day night, in a room just fn the rear of the physician's office. The doctor watched at the sick bed dur- ing the early part of the night, his wife relleving him toward morning. She was up at 5 o’clock to administer the prescribed medicine and ‘had just returned to bed when her attention was attracted by a peculiar noise near the folding doors, lead- ing to her husband’s office. She raised herself on her arm and watched. Slowly and carefully one of the doors was pulled back, letting in a shaft of light an inch in width. Then it stopped. Mrs. Johns could not hear.a sound, save the heavy breathing of her sleeping hus- band. She was afraid to wake him and afraid to let that door be pulled farther back. She thought of screaming, but the fear of a revolver silenced her tongu While she was thus deliberating the door began to move. ith the same caution as before it went back slowly, noiselesely on its rollers. This time there was no hesitation: the man be- hind it evidently believed the coast was clear. When it was fully opened Mrs. Johns could distinguish the dim figure of a crouch- ing man. Ae he moved toward the room her cour- age returned. In a calm voice, she called: “Ee that you, Eleanor?’ The effe¢t upon the burglar was electrical. With great haste he ran on all fours out of the office, down the hall Into the dining room. Then he arose to his feet and dashed for the window he had raised, knocking noisily against the stove. table and chairs. He mounted a sewing machine that was near the open casement and cleared the gill with a single bound, landing in the yard. Dr. Johns Was rou by the confusion. but when he reached the dining room the man had disappeared. A careful search showed nothing missing. It was the evident intention of the burglar to rob the eleeping apartment of the doctor and carry off the silverware on his retreat. This had been placed together on the table ready for quick removal. Mre. Johns was unable to give the police a description of the man, as the light was too dim to admit distinguishing his features.

Unless the Spanish Government backs down or the President changes his mind again war will come within the next few REGULAR CIRCULATIO days. As dynastic considerations are potent In Spain, and as the tenure of the little King hangs by a slender thread, it is not likely that Government will risk domestic revolution by yield- ing to the American demands. President MéKinley seems to have broken away from the peace-with-dishonor gang, and if they do not again coerce him into submission the action of this Government will be prompt and effective. It is to be regretted that the Spanish Queen Regent and her Cabinet cannot save themselves without the desperate expe- dient of foreign war, but their extremity should not blind Americans to the superlative importance of free Cuba and atonement for the Maine. l’resident McKinlev’s ardent desire for peace’ has at least made plain to the civilized world that the United States have exhausted the possibilities of diplomacy in the pursuit of peace. The American people will enter into the impending conflict with a clear conscience and with confidence in the justice of their cause and the issue of the war. . —o >> The Circulation of last Suoday’s Post-Dispatch was 124,263 ~-———— -~ -@O@- oe It’s no use to teach the youth of America to talk Spanish just when we are getting ready to make the Spanish walk Spanish. eee +¢o--- --- - CHINA'S CRY.

A QUESTION OF COAL. Although British diplomacy may sometimes be weak and vacillating, the possession of all the coal: in Chinese waters fives her an advantage of which she cannot be deprived by the blundering of statesmen. Coal supply is, in these days, a vital element in naval war programmes, and the nation which can monopolize and hold that need not greatly fear the battleships of her enemies. Not long ago the German gospel ship sent to China to carry the Gospel of His Majesty's Hallowed Person to China, was forced to recoal more than once at English stations, and this while possible war between William and his grandmother was the @aily talk of press and people. If would Kave been trul¥ melancholy had war broken out while Prince Henry was on his way. The good ship would have been at the mercy of winds and waves and monsters of the deep, to say nothing of British guns. Of course England want to fight, but if she is forced to do anything go disagreeable, she has the coal supply of the world pretty well cornered. and while that holds out the is not likely to lose her superiority in naval warfare. a te ne ~ eee Gueneeatnes counties Like the shallow partisan that he is.

It is, however, a very different form of democ- racy from the American system. “The chief characteristic of the Australian democratic sys. tem is its easy Mexibility. There is no written constitution and no fixed term for cabinet officers. Under it legislative majorities and exccutive officers may be changed and super- seded ai any time. This makes officials feel an exceptionally strong sense of immediate responsibility to the people. Mr. Godkin, who reviews the Australian system in the March Atlantic, admits that under it various legislative ex. periments have been made which have resulted in giving very eumprehensive protection to labor, which would have been impossible but for the ease and rapidity with whieh public ‘timent can make iteelf felt under the “cabinet’’ system. - e Austratian countries are, however, still nothing but = ‘colontes. They are stil! hampered by the buré@ens and trap- pings of monarchy. ‘While this continues they cannot be as free as they might be.

It is that if war comes there will be another agitation for an income tax. One of their organs remarks Mith bated breath: “If an income tax is impossible under the constitution as it stands, there would certaihly be-a move- mentto amend the constitution in that particular.” This is dread{ul to think of. Such a peril is quite enough to put all thoughts of preserving the national honor ghd dig- nity out of mind. If the fool people are likely to get at the incomes of those who run the Government as a business en- terprise for their own, profit, and make them pay for thelr privileges, what is the use of living? If{onor is only a dream anyhow compared with cold cash, national dignity a sham and the safety of American seamen and citizens a beggarly nothing beside the safety of rich and regular dividends. a SS The Post-Dispatch has on former occasions protested against the sale or use of intoxicants at the public school picnics as demoralizing, but the resolution of the Teachers’ Aiinuity Committee prohibiting school picnics in parks where intoxicants are sold is going too far. It is absurd to deny the schools the public parks for picnics because somewhere in tne parks liquor may be on sale. What the board should do, and all that it should do, is to prohibit the sale or distribu- ticn of intoxicants at school picnics. ; _~ ww It is gratifying to hear that the School Board has aban- doned the project of adding Spanish to the High School curric- ulum. When money is so hard to obtain for even essential studies it is hardly wise to spend any of it for instruction which not more than 1 or 2 per cent of the pupils would put to use. And at this time when the Spanish influence is about to be removed from the Western Continent it seems poor policy to trouvle the youth of the land with the Spanish language for commercial purposes. _ oe An Administration organ publishes a telegram announcing that 200 reconcentrados have just been murdered by the Span- ish troops.

Woodford nas issued the following state- ment to the Spanish. press: “The Madrid newspapers of this morning afe fliled with statements concerning the American Minister which are so inaccur- ate that he asks the courtesy of the press to correct them. He does this in the inter- ests of friendship and peace. “The proprieties of his diplomatic posi- tion forbid his making any statement with regard to his diplomatic action with the Spanish Government. Put last September the Spanish foreign office received written permission to publish the text of any ol- ficial correspondence which he should have at any time with the Spanish Government, and this permission is effective § to-day. The Spanish Government is at complete liberty to publish every word he has ever addressed to the foreign office by letter, memorandum or statement. “The Second Secretary of the American Legation has sailed for New York to fe- sume the practice of his profession. He hes resigned from the diplomatic service. The American Minister's wife left with her niece for Paris Wednesday night. .She is in poor health and the excitement of the past fortnight has compelled her to seek absence and rest. The daughter of the American Minister remaing, and will remain with him at Madrid. He has not given up his residence, where he expects to. reside so long as he shall remain accredited to the Spanish court. “The American nothing but Minister has received courtesy from the people of Madrid.

NEW YORK, April 8.—The most remark- able phenomenon growing out of the war news and peace news from Washington during the last month is the success of a small gang of speculators in working the stock market. =; It is certain that they have taken §$.- 000,000 of profits out of Wall street. It is probable that their gains have reached $10,000,000. The market has jumped as much as 10 points in an hour. The winnings have been taken out of the pockets of Wall street men, for there are practically no outsiders in the market nowadays. This gang of bold Se —- possess the wonderful faculty of knowing what is going to happpen in the White House several hours in advance, some- times a whole day in advance. Four Senators in Washington are known to be bold operators in Wall street. Whenever the market has mysteriously boomed in response to fictitious peace news from Washington some gang has reaped , Sreat profits. Wall street men name these Senators and their associates as the winners. They are talked about as freely as if their connection with false peace rumors were matter of record. Even the messenger boys about the street know them and talk about them. | But not one Wall street operator can be |} induced to say a word about them for pub- | lication. The street is true to its traditions. —— -- sweeter and completer than the mestt of the Of the circus @ ‘thé Spring is in the’ te What is finer than the odor of the sawdyst in th Where the clown cavorts and tumbles Ifks Where the elephant and zebra and theVion ang And the kangaroo and tiger make der kit full of action, , e attraction ied dex than the Grampian hills! e ladies, adyertised’ vpon the bills!

WETMORE’S AWFUL PREDIC- AMENT WHILE AT THE MEX- ICAN CAPITAL. HE INVENTED A NEW SALUTE. ‘Diplomacy Got a Severe Wrench When Two St. Louisans Attended Con- sul Barlow’s Reception. Ex-Gav. William Joel Stone, who was in Mexico recently with Col. M. C. Wetmore, L. D. Kingsland and other distinguished St. Louisans, tells the following astonishing story on ‘the obese tobacco manufacturer: Consul General Barlow invited the visit- ing Missourians to a reception, at which they were presented not only to President Porfirio Diaz, Secretary Lamantour and All the Governors at the Mexican capital, but also to a number of Generals and other officers of the Mexican army. The feast was spread in the dining hal) of the American Consulate and the Ameri- can guests arriving late were to be pre-. sented, each in turn, beginning with Presi. dent Diaz, to all the resplendent officers of the sister republic. Col. Wetmore was to lead the procession of Americans on ac- count of his knowledge of the Castilian t ue, and Consul Barlow, the host, to make the introductions, In the meantime Col. Wetmore was having trouble with his full dress suit. He doesn’t like full dress sults, anyhow, but he burst his suspenders in the effort to get ready on time, and was obliged to expand both dia- phragm and abdomen in order to keep the waistband of his capacious trousers en rap- port w:th the sky line of his vest. He had no time to get another ead of suspenders, It was late already, and he posted off to the reception in a ferocious temper. He might have slipped through the ordeal all right if it had not been for the fact that he had been losing flesh. His trousers se three sizes too big for him, and as he marched down towards the long line of full- dressed and bespangled officers he began to realize that he could slip through a knot- hole if he ever let his breath escape. Is trousers were literally hanging on his breath, and his face was very red with the effort to ke up the inflation. As he reached President Diaz, Mr. Barlow made the introduction and Col Wetmore, in an attempt to say “Buenos dios,’ was obliged to collapse, as a balloon does when the rip cord opens the valve. He felt that y his trousers were:on the eve of partihg company with his waistcoat, and with a Wild gesture of pain and perplexity. he clapped his hand to his abdomen and “are the impending catastrophe. President Diaz, With a horrified glance at Col. Wetmore’s danger line, realized the awkwardness of the St. Louisan’s predicament, and with fine presence of mind and a most remark- able exhibition of polite tact, imitated Col. Wetmore’s ouccen: Gastens and laid his hand also on his own abdomen, as if in sympathy with the strange salute. Each Governor, General and official in the long line saw the odd salute, and de- sirous of following the lead of Presiden Diaz made the same gesture, which ha saved the day for Wetmore, unt!l the whole line Was salaaming and holding abdomens, as if all had been seized with sudden “ee ov.

LOUIS THIS MORNING. ARE NOW EN ROUTE HOME. Capt. Ewing Says Their Month’s Work in the South Has Put the Piayers in the Pink of Condition. The first of the base ball teams of the National League who have been training in the South to arrive in St. Louls on their return trip home are the Cincinnatis. They reached here on the Missouri Pacific at 7 o'clock this morning from Sedalia, where they played yesterday, and an hour after their arrival they were on another train en route to Vincennes, Ind. They play at the latter point to-day, and to-morrow they are to open on thelr home grounds, There was a big crowd of the friends of the Cincinnati players at the Union Station this morning, and Peitz, Breiten- stein and Holliday, the St. Louis men on the team, were warmly recetved. Capt. Ewing and yy Bancroft were loud in their praises of thetr Southern trip. “We left Cincinnati on March 1, so that we have had a little more than a eolid month of training in the South,” said Capt. Ewing. ‘We found the weather in Texas for the most part mild and pleasant, but in fair or foul weather we yy the boys hard at it, and we have brough t them house in the pink of condition.’ The appearance of the Cincinnati players bore out the truth of the statements of Capt. Ewing. They certainly never looked better. The Little Casino Schedule. Pmil Grasemann & Co. of Cleveland hay quet issued thelr Little Casino Baseba! chedule.

The Mayor says when he left his office Thursday afternoon nearly every able bodied young man, and not a few veterans, whom he met on the street, greeted him with the remark, “We are with you, and will be on hand Monday to answer your call for volunteers.”’ “I am more convinced to-day than I Was yesterday,’’ said the Mayor Friday, that I will make my call for that voiunteer regiment when our street pageant halts at the doors of the new City Hall Monday. “In my opinion the die is cast, and cast for a war to the finish; so far as Spainish domination on the American continent is concerned. “T believe Spagn would back down {ff she could, but she can't. She has gone along in her hard-headed, barbarous course until she has exasperated the patience and sense of humanity, not only of the American peo- ple, but of every Christian nation. She will have to fight, and alone. ‘That is nade plain by the note of the foreign am- adors to President McKinley. “[ am delighted that the President made them the diplomatic, but firm, reply that he did. It shows that while we appreciate their kind offices, we have determined to Manage our own affairs in our way.” “You are not thinking of resigning as Mayor to lead the regiment of St. Louis volunteers?’ the Mavor was asked. “Certainly not. President Meier of the Council will act as Mayor while I am in the field. Really I do not expect to be gone long, for I think we will make short work of the Spaniards. I hope, however, to be able to get the St. Louis regiment to Cuba among the first troops that are sent. There will be no question about my being able to get them to the coast, ready to sail if the order is given us. I have seen enough of military service to be able to judge of a man fit to be a soldier for hard service by siz'ng him up. “I will not enroll a man who T believe cannot stand ‘the test for such service, and I know there will be no discount on their courage.”’ Ex-Mayor E. A. Noonan called to see the Mayor and thank him for naming him as one of the committee to examine and report on the condition of the books of the treas- urer, comptroller and auditor, which is done at the close of every fiscal year. The other members of the Auditing Com- mittee are Attorney John A. Porter and Addivon F. W. Pritchett, who for 20 years was auditor of the Wiggins Ferry Co. Mr. Noonan congtatulated the Mayor on his patriotic zeal and said he felt sure that Col. Ziegenhein and this vblunteers would win.fame on the battlefield. “And,I think you will be given full oppor- tunity to do so,” added the ex-Mayor. “I do not believe any Mfluences are in reserve to stay the war spirit of the country. Our cause is just, and in my opinion we should have pitched into Spain when the Maine was blown/up.”’ STATE TRAVELING LIBRARY. The Movement Inaugurated py the Federation of Women’s Clubs.

The stories of Spanish consuls at Key West and else- where fleeing in fear of assassination do not scare him a bit. He says he has full people, and is willing to back his judgment. He says he and his brother consuls are se- cure from molestation or insult, provided they do not make themselves offensive by radical pro-Spanish utterances.

Will Ask That the Cases Against Him in the Justice’s Court Be Re- moved to Circuit Court. Judge Klein has granted Father John T. Tuohy @n additional 10 days to file his an- swer to the ejectment suit brought against him by Archbishop Kain. Father ‘Tuohy applied in person for this privilege, stating that a delay was made necessary by the death of one of his at- torneys, Marshall F. McDonald. While at the Courthouse Father Tuohy made inquiries concerning the method of issuing writs of certiorari. Significance is attached to the priest’s questions by the fact that there is an un- lawful detainer suit against him pending in a justice’s court and this would be the legal way of bringing the proceedings into the Circuit Court without standing Both suits are the priest house which is being held in violation of tory orders from the Metropolitan, It is argued that should a trial a justice’s court the defendant p be compelled to show his hand, dicing the case pending before fudge Father Tuohy is bearing up well under his fight and his mien is as confident to-day as when he first antagonized the Arch- bishop. One reason for the clergyman’s confidence is that he does not believe his case will ever have an airing in the civil courts. ‘My case has gone to Rome,’ he said, “and the beginning of civil proceedings Is a breach of ehurch discipline. I am confident that when the news of such action reaches the Holy See, Archbishop Kain will bé in- structed to withdraw the suits. The decrees had in est would hus preju- Klein of the council of Baltimore make it an of-> fense, punishable by excommunication, for a priest to sue his bishop in a civil court, The rule was not made to work the other way because the members of the council! did not contemplate such a great violation of church law on the part of bishops. But there ia no doubt the law is as binding upon the Metropolitan as it is upon the priest, and I shall be greatly mistaken if Arch- bishop Kain does not receive a very firmly worded notice from Rome to this e st. ‘The prosecution of the suits ans the passing in review of many churgh affairs that I do not believe the Vaticag will per- mit to be made public. ‘A trial means that this wh tion that I have been subject fully shown wp to the people.” Father Tuohy does not view with alarm the evident change of front recently made by one or two of his parish socle- ties, but insists the people are as firmiy at his back as ever. Looking for a housegirl now is quite a pleasure, for a glance in P.-D. Wants will surely find a treasure. INCREASED TAX ON BEER. Old Stamps Will Not Be Available After the New Law Is Effective. The Government tax on beer will probably be increased shortly, which te taken as an indication that more revenue will be needed to meet the requirements of war. H. Cc. Grenner, Collector of Internal Rev- enue, received a circular from Commission- er Scott Thursday of interest to brewers. The circular calls attention to the prospec- tive increase, and atates that any attempt to save the tax by purchasing large stocke of stamps at the present rate will be futile, as the stamps now in use wil] be called in, on the passage of an act Increasing the rate. and will not be accepted tn yment of the tax on any beer not actually sold and de- livered before the passage of the act.

St. Louis Roads May Fight Canada for Northwest Traffic. The tnternational rate war, in which the St. Louis roads are active participants is expected to reach a crisis within a week. While at present it Is confined to votes on passenger business to the Pacific seaboard, it is threatened that hostilities may be car- ried into the enemy’s country and that St. Louis may take the initiative. in changing the position of the Western lines from a defensive to an aggressive one. The rate of $17.50 to the Klondike gateways is still in force and will probably not be reduced. The St. Louis lines will pursue other tac- tics. A plan of action is now under con- sideration which may result in still further advantages to the traveling public and make St. Louis a most desirable starting point to all points of the compass. One after another plans to reduce or force the Canadian lines to restore the old tarilf rates have fallen through. The rates from St. Louis to Seattle, Tacoma and other Pacific points have been cut so that the companies are operating at a loss. It is now proposed to fight the Canadian lines on their own ground and make réduced rates ‘to points tin the Northwest where those lines are still maintaining the regular rates. An effort {s being made to get all of the St. Louis lines to send representatives :0 a meeting to be held some time next week.

Stockholders of the Ravenswood Com- pany File Articles of Incorporation. The St Louis Distilling Co., a new con- cern which filed articles of incorporation Thursday, will succeed to the trade mark, assets and good will of the Ravenswood Distillery Co.,. whose plant, at Twenty- third and Madison streets, was destroyed by fire last NovembDer. The capital stock is placed at $60,000 in 600 shares of $100 each. The incorporators are Francis Kuhn, John J. Broderick, Richard Everett, Estill McHenry and Jo- seph W. Moon, 114 shares each, and Albert (. Trebus, 30 shares. Mr. Everett appears really as proxy for J. C. Richardson, who is absent in California. The old plant will be rebuilt and the same brands of whiskies made by the Ravens- wood company~will be retained. In the reorganization about 20 of the old stock- ho'ders, who refused to contribute financial aid when the original capital was exhausted, are frozen out. LITTLE BOY LOST IN A BIG CITY. — —— -— a + Orville Daniels Ext2nded the Hospital- ities of a Police Station. Tittle Orville Daniels, aged 5 years, never knew what a big city was until he reacfed St. Loule. Having moved here a few days ago from a small town namedsSt. Louis the youngster could not restrain his anxiety to eee fhe sights. So Wednesday morning he left his parents at their temporary abode, 719 South Twentieth street, to take in the big metro- polis. Orville was bewildered with what he he. held and lost himself om a down-town thor- oughfare. A policeman took him to the Fourth District Station. where he cried for mamma until late Thureday, when the fond parent, nearly heart-broken, reclaimed her lost darling. “I don't want to go down there any more,” said Orville, as he was leaving, “ cause the streets has more people on them than where I used to live.” Gymnastic Exhibition.

Bust-{ Burglars and $50 Stolen. Charles Moehrle was chloroformed and robbed by Durglars at his home, 1019 North Sixth street, Thursday night. Moehrle, who has had a Ettle more than half a century of wordly experience de. cided upon. saving in his trousers pockets. ‘He is a tinner and works-when- ever opportunity offers. Just before going to bed Thursday night he counted his savings and found that he had exactly $0. He tucked the money carefully away in his pockets and pushed his trousers under his pillow. He awoke later than usual Friday morn- ing and was s0 drowsy he could hardly open his eyes. His stupor was broken hy the discovery that his trousers were gone, After a little searching the trousers were found in the back yard, the pockets turned wrong side out. The thrifty old tinner hurried to the Four Courts and reported hig loss. ‘I don’t know how the burglars got into my room, but I think they must have climbed in through a window. “I think I was chloroformed because I am an unusually light sleeper, and the entrance of any one would have aroused me under ordinary circumstances. The }o#s falls heavily upon me.”’ METHODIST SOCIAL UNION. First Annual Banquet Given at the Planters’ Hotel Thursday Night. The newly organized Methodist Social Union of St. Louls gave its first annual ban- quet at the Planters’ Hotel Thursday night, with 175 persops present, many of whom were ladies, guesta of the union, which Is composed wholly of men. Postmaster James L, Carliele, president of the union, presided, and after coffee was served. made a few remarks and intro- duced Rev, James Lee, D.D., presiding elder of the district, who spoke at length on the growth of Methodism since the days of its founder, John Wesley. Mrs. John Matthews, wife of the venerable pastor of Centenary Church, spoke on ‘“*Methodist Women's Foreign Missionary Work.” She referred to the energy and bus!- ness capacity the women had shown. Af- ter 20 years’ existence the soctety had 75,00 members, nearly $300,000 worth of property in China, Mexico, Brazil and elsewhere, and had never been in debt. The parent organi- zation controlled by men, was now out of debt. but that happy estate of affairs was due to the work of the women. Dr. W. B. Palmore, Prof. John 8. Collins and Dr. Thomas M. Finney also spoke and the meeting indorsed the resolution Intro- duced by r. William G.

Doubters by the hundreds who could not understand such a phendom- enon as described in the Post-Dispatch Thursday kept special watch and thus con- | Vinced themselves, Among those who kept a hWokout for the 'strange sight were Dr. Harry Frankenfield, the Government weather forecaster at St. | Louts and John J. Lichter, professor of as- tronomy at Washington ‘University. Dr. | Frankenfield viewed the cross from his resi- | de nee, 4609 Cook avenue, and Prof. Lichter headed a party of students who took ob- servations from the university. There was no question that the moon did | present an unusual appearance, but these two men of science agree in shatter- ing the theory of the superstitious that the ‘sign of the cross meant war, panic, disas- ‘ter or even called gttention of the ungodly to the drawing near of the end Lenten season, “It was due to the atmospheric condl- tions,”’ said Mr. Lichter, Friday morning. “Probably the thick dust and smoke aris- ing from St. Louis had much to do with it. ‘The air was full of moisture, and in such cases the moon generally takes on a halo or a corona.”’ “What we noticed on the moon last night,’’ said Dr. Frankenfield as he sat in his office Friday morning, “Was to the farmers a sureysign of rain. e rain came all right for to-day; it is pouring down in two-thifds of the State of Missouri. I don’t knew ‘how St. looked, That Greek cross didn’t mean any- thing. It is a common seniteatasion of moisture In the atmosphere, and this time it happened to take the shape of a clir- cle, or halo, as it is known, but showed it- self by arms reaching out from all sides oF the moon. “If it had aught to do with the Holy Week it most probably signified that we were to have glorious weather Easter Sun- day, in that it foretold of showers to fall before the Sabbath. There may be rain late this afternoon, tain about it. The weather will grow warmer, rain or no rain, toward evening, ~~ dapat will be a pretty day, I think.’’ ‘ AFTER THIRTY YEARS. Witt Henry, on His Deathbed, Con- fesses a Murder. UNION CITY, Tenn., April 8.—Witt Henry, @ prosperous citizen, living midway between this city and Hickman, Ky., who is supposed to be on his deathbed, haa confessed to a murder committed 80 years ago. “4 1863 a prosperous, hard-working bach- elor, George Newton, lived near oscow, ‘Ky. He was known to have considerable money concealed, there a no banks in ‘his neighborhood in those exciting times. A ‘party of armed men went to his house at inight, hung him up by the neck, and ltwisted his head in guerrilla fashion until ‘they sunk the rope to the frontal bone, to ‘force him to divulge the hiding-place of his ‘money. Finally the robbers fired a pistol ‘while it wae tightly twisted In the loop aganist his head. Newton then told them where he had secreted $3000. The robbers secured the money. After Newton recor- fered he stated that he believed Witt Henry ‘was one of the party to the robbery. A ‘short time afterward, when Newton Was ‘returning home from Moscow, he was shot from ambush and left on the highway dead. Witt Henry was strongly suspected, but owing to the exchement incident to the war was not arrested. Newton was related to prominent families tn Fulton and Hick- counties, Kentucky.

“a 10 WE ee, ’ i SE a ¥ * . 7 ; 2 Pe val : . : a | FRIDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—APRIL 8, 1898. NORTH ENDERS CANNOT AGREE — Want a Receiver for the B. & L. Association. RESIGNATIONS ARE POCKETED. DIRECTORS ALLEGED TO BE ANX.- IOUS TO QUIT AND NAME A NEW BOARD. ene. - ee SUPERVISOR MAY STEP IN. Peculiar Condition of Affairs Presented in Judge Talty’s Court—The Question Taken Under Advisement. a John ©. Obert is in the Missouri State Penitentiary doing two years for stealing n large sum of money from the North End Bullding and Loan Assoeation. He did not get it ell and the stockholders are fighting tooth and n over what is left. The eiadilGeeated a peculiar shape Fri- day morning. Alfred A. Drew, by torneys, Black and Koplitz, filed) a suit asking for a receiver for the association and representing that the Board of Direc- tors had resigned; that there was no offic.al existence to the officers, and that—what was left was being wasted and lost. The case was assigned to Judge Talty. When court opened Judge Thomas A. Rus- sell, representing the State Supervisor of Building and Loan Associations, and James A. Kinealy, representing the association, were on hand. Mr. Black read his petition, then Judge Russell addressed the court and said the whole business was out of order; that Mr. Drew or any gther stockholder or creditor had no right under the law to institute such proceedling. The law, he said, pro- vided that if any stockholder or creditor was of the opinion that anything was wrong it was his duty to notify the Super- visor, and then if the Supervisor failed to take the proper steps proceedings could be instituted in court. The Drew attorneys insisted that the Supervisor had brought such a suit, and had dismissed it for some unknown reason, Judge Russell said no such suit had been brought. He had asked to see the books, and had sued for that purpose. After get- ting access to the books the suit was dis- missed, but no receiver had been asked for. Attorney Kinealy said steps ‘had been tak- en to wind up the association, and that if an order was made the would like tobe heard. Judge Talty announced he would take the application under consideration, and see what jurisdiction he had in the case, Judge Russell declared he could assure the court that the Supervisor would take positive steps in the matter within the next 24 hours, and if a receiver was necessary would file a suit asking that one be ap- pointed. He asked the court to allow the oase to take its regular course under the new law, made for "3 a. The suit filed on iday reveals a most interesting state of affairs in relation to the association. Last Oc- tober it was found that Obert § had stolen $59,000 on the face of the first inspec- tion of the books. He gota good deal more than that, but. the books showed stealings to that amount. Obert was removed and a new set of directors elected. Things were brought to a standstill awhile and then a scheme was fixed up whereby it was thought the whole affair could be settled out of court. The directors signed aowriitten agreement to resign on condition the majority of § stockholders agreed to a proposition to elect another board empowered to wind up the associa- tion and divide what was left pro rata among them. The proposition was to be submitted in the shape of an election. It was duly advertised for April 4, according to law. The election was held and nearly all the siockholders agreed to the proposition, but there were just enough objectors to kill the whole plan. One of these, Mr. Ryan, has the resignation of the directors, it is sald, and refuses to give the document up. He and several other objectors want to elect another board, claiming the old board is out, There is a general split in the association now, and the nice little plan to wind up the business has fallen through. It is more than probable the State Super- visor will gobble the concern. ROEGNER WILL CONTESTED. Great-Grandchildren Sue for an Equit- able Share of the Estate. The great-grandchildren of Johanna Julia for his at-! : Roegner have filed a suit to set aside her! will and have her property divided in what they consider a more equitable man- ner. The suit is brought against Edward A. Raegner and Henry W. Woerman. exe- cutor of the will, The petitioners, Ada, Nellie ar’ Marion Raeger, all minors, represented by George P. Reynolds as curator, say that when Mrs. Raegner made the will she was 83 years of age and completely under the control of her grandson, Edward A. Raegner, with whom she lived for many years before she died. he will, after making two $110 bequests, leaves $10,000 to Edward A. Raegener and then divides the remainder between Edward Raegner and the great-grandchildren. THE DUKE CONSENTS. Prince Philip to Be Allowed to Divorce Princess Louise.

Dr. Starkloff Abandons the Old Sys- tem of Ward Divisions. VETERAN POLICE CAPTAIN. Capt. Keeble Fought Through the War and Was Shot Four times. -- In the list of the veterans who endured the hardships of the late war and came out scarred but none the less patriotic, is Capt. William Keeble, now captain of the Carondelet police. Capt. Keeble fought gallantly through the civil war and was shot three times, once by “a fragment of a cannon ball, which fortunately had spent its deadly force. Though on the defeated side, animosity has been wiped away and nothing pleases him more than to indulge in war talk with another veteran—Union or Confederate. Capt. Keeble was born in St. Charles, Mo.. in 1839, where he remained until the war broke out, when he joined the army. The Board of Health adopted an impor- tant measure at Thursday evening's ses- sion looking to the collection and classifi- cation of mortuary, contagious disease and nuisanee records. The plan was drawn by Dr. Starkloff, who calied attention to the unsatisfactory method of compiling such statistics by wards, for the reason that for political purposes the ward lines are changed so often it is impossible to es- tablish any ganitary system within such boundaries: The resolution of Div. Starkloff divides the city into seven districts which will be here- after observed in the compilation of all sanitary and mortuary records. He was known for miles around to be @/ ‘The districts are as follows: crack rifle and pistol shot and within a] pjistrict No. I—All that portion of the city lying elect~-!gouth of Arsenal street and between the river av ; - after his enlistment he was ee He was at @/ the western city limits.

District No. 6—All that portion of the city bounded by Chouteau avenue and Forest Park on the south, Cass and Easton avenues on the noggh, the western city limits on the west and Jefferson avenue on the east. District No. T7—All that portion of the city bounded by Palm street, Cass and Easton avenues on the south, city limits on the west and north and the Mississippi River on the east. Dr. Starkloff adds: “In estimating the population of these districts I find that the voting population in districts Nos. 2, 3 and 4 average about 21,000 each, districts Nos. 1 and 7 have a voting population of about 19.000 each, while districts Nos. 5 and 6 have an average voting population of about 12,000 each. IN FAVOR OF CARMACK. He Is Declared the Tennessee Congress- man in the House. WASHINGTON, April 8—The contested Congressional election case of Patterson against Carmack in the Tenth Tennessee District was reported to the House yester- day,. House Election Committee No. 1 rec- ommending the seating of Carmack and de- claring against ex-Representative Patter- son’e contest. The committee corrects the vote to make a majority of 590 for Carmack. WORKING SECRET ORDERS Police Looking for a Man Who Has a New Confidence Game. The police are looking for a con man named John McCoy, who has been operating in the downtown sections. His game is to approach well-dressed strangers on the street, showing a heavy “gold” ring, which bears the seal of some leading secret order, as the shield and hel- met of the K. of P., the square and compass of the Masons or the links of the Odd Fel- lows. The crook shows only one ring to his in- tended victim, and tells a very plausible story, to the effect that the valuable ring was left to him by his father, who died re- cently. He does not wish to sell it, but, being out of work and without money, would lfke to borrow, say $2, on it, the money to be returned “next week,”” when the borrower starts to work. The ring is a massive gold affair, with the genuine jingle of true metal, and the plausible story effects many loans. J. P. McCord, a guest at the Rest, Broad- wayrand Chestnut, “loaned” the fellow $2.50 on a K. of P. eards r ng and exchanged with him Tuesday. Thursday he saw McCoy working the same game on a stranger in Martin Henry’s saloon, Sixth and Market. He then ha proved to be bogus The address given him by the crook is iis lost footing in Mid@ur and were driven into Arkansas. He cohtinued to lose ground there and finally was driven into Louis- ana, During his fighting thus far he had been shot in both legs.

After some time he recovered and re- turned to the fleld. He had not been back a half hour when he was shot through the right breast with’a minie ball. This wound kept him in bed for elght months. He fought back towards the North and in 1865 surrendered at Alexandria, La., and companied the Federal fleet to Baton Rouge, Miss., whence he returned home. , SCOTTISH RITE MASONS. Feast of Maundy Celebrated by a Ban- quet Thursday Night. The Scottish Rite Masons celebrated the/| - feast of Maundy at their cathedral, 1615 Lo- cust street, Thuraeday, by a bangqmet at which the full mempereniD. with few ex- ceptions, was present. Before the banquet the eeremony of extinguishing the lights was performed in the cathedral hall, Judge P. R.
