It Occurred Eighty-One Years Ago Yesterday.
THE DAY AT FRIEDRICHSRUHE. TWO MASSIVE
Thousands of People Pay Their Respects to the Great Leader and Stateman. Presents Received From, All. Parts. of the Empire—Torchlight Parade Past the Castle in the Evening.
FRIEDRICHSRUHK, April 2.—The 81st anniversary of the birthday of Prince Bismarck was celebrated yesterday with great enthusiasm. T&e.weather wis clear and cold and the sun shone brightly. From the railway station, the postpffice, the castle gates and many pirate buildings- flags flying to profusion,-and byioon.'thece weremahy other evidences of a general celebration. Crowds of villagers and strangers as sembled at the entrances of the castle park. The bands of the Ratzburg chasseurs, the Hamburg Seventy-sixth regknent and th^ Altona Thirty-first regiment arrived at 11 o'clock. -At the same hour a cart load of flowers arrived at the castle.
BISMARCK.
Prince Bismarck was out of bed at 11 o'clock as usual, and was congratulated by the members of his family. While he was eating breakfast the bands played outside the castle. After the prince had finished breakfast he was congratulated by Count Von Waldersee and a deputation of officers of the Halberstadt cuirrassiers and the Ratzburg chasseurs.
Presents arrived throughout the day from all parts of the empire. The mail brought a package from Naples from the emperor. The presents were costly and varied, arid comprised many samples of special industries. Among the presents was a collection of articles from Madagascar, sent by Eugene Wolf.
BISMARCK'S PALACE.
In the evening special trains from Hamburg brought fully 3,000 people here, including 300 torchbearers. Prince Biumarck appeared on the balcony and the assembled bands played a choral. Replying to an address of congratulations, Prince Bismarck said that the good will of his neighbors was a necessity to every Christian German. He was pleased at having enjoyed the constant sympathy of the Hamburgers, which he had never lost, as he had lost several other sympathies.
Expressing then a desire for the commercial prosperity of Hamburg, he declared he was no fanatical Agrarian, but that, after all, the Agrarians were not without grounds for their opinions. In conclusion he called for cheers for Ham burg and its rnlers. In response to this prolonged cheers were given.
There was then a parade by a brilliant torchlight procession, which occupied 45 minutes in passing. Prince Bis marck stood most of that time, continually expressing his acknowledgments to those passing. He observed that he was no longer able to move as they did, but his heart went with them.

BOILERS
EXPLODE.
Six
live PeoplV Killed and Six Others Injured, Several of Whom May Die. GREENVILLE, Miss., April 2.—At 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon the two massive boilers of the Planters' oil mill, at this place, exploded, wrecking the mill property and causing the death of five men, as follows:
Henry Williams, colored, fireman. Qliyer Humphreys, colored, assistantj. a Isum Freeman, colored, laborer. Horace Wilkinson, colored, carpenter. Ed $tras^ckK white, carpenter.. The ihjured.ar^ ,i lvalue Wolfenden, chief engineer, badlyscakiecLaad bruised.
Ctfuipbuf Washington,, Colored, cut and burned by timbers mil-die Tom Brown, colored, badly bruised and burned.
W. H. B. Freeman, colored, leg broken. Alex Hughes, scalp wound from fly* ing timbers.
Freeman Pendleton, colored, leg broken and otherwise badly hurt. The explosion occurred while Manager Alexander wag at dinner, and the icause is stated to be a dry boiler. This version of it is not, however, definite, fts all connected with the boiler and engine room were killed, except the chief engineer, and he is too badly injured to make afiy statement.
After the wreck of the plant by the explosion fire seized the ruins, but this was suppressed by the fire department, not, however, until the bodies of the killed had been badly charred. The financial loss will reach $30,000, on which there is adequate insurance in the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance company.
About a year ago the plant of the oil mill thus wrecked, with frightful results, was entirely destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of something like $150,000, and had been rebuilt on such a scale as to make it one of the most extensive and complete in the south.

Senator Call Wants to Cuba.
Ours Sent
RADICAL CUBAN RESOLUTION.
It Proposes the Immediate Use of a United States Naval Force to Protect Americana in Cuba From Atrocities and
For Huinane Reasons in General—Other 'Proceedings of the Senate and House. WASHINGTON, April 2.—Ocean mail
subsidies brought on an animated discussion in the/senate yesterday, during the consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. Mi£ Vilas opposed subsidies, and pointed out many instances of what he declared were excelfsiye piyments for mail service. Mr. Perkihs,' California, energetically defended the subsidies for their encouragefnei|rt to Aitiericatt shipping. The subI sidy item Was reserved for a Separate vote. The balance of the postoffice appropriation bill was completed. I Senator Call of Florida offered a radical Cuban joint. resolution directing the
Bending of an adequate naval force to Cuba. to, put an end to barbarities and to protect American citizens in their treaty rights. The president is instructed to notify Spain that the United States will forcibly intervene unless murder and outrage ceases. The resolution is as follows:
RESOLVED, That the continued violations of the usages and rules of war between civilized people, the inhuman and brutal outrages on men, woman and children constantly reported, on reasonable evidence, either authorized or permitted, not only on the Cuban revolutionists, but also on citizens of the United States, now carried on between the government of Spain and the revolutionary forces organized as the republic of Cuba, demands the immediate action by the United States, not only for the protection of the citizens of the United States who have become residents and acquired interests in Cuba under treaties with Spain for their protection, but also under the higher considerar fcions of a common humanity and civilization, shamed and imperiled by barbarities and cruelties known only in the darkest, most cruel and most bloody periods of human history.
RESOLVED, That an adequate naval force of the United States shall be immediately sent to Cuba sufficient to protect by force, if necessary, citizens of tho United States from wrong and the violation of treaty obligations between Spain and the United States.
RESOLVED, That the president of tho United States communicate to the goveminent of Spain these resolutions and inform that government that the United States will forcibly intervene to protect the rights of American citizens and the interests of civilization if there shall be a further occurrence of murder and outrage, or the shooting or puttiug to death of prisoners of war in the conflict between the Spanish and the revolutionary forces of Cuba.
The resolution went over under the rules. Mr. George's speech on the Dupont case occupied most of the day, and is not yet completed.
House Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, April 2.—The house practically completed the consideration of the sundry civil bill. In the course of a debate on an amendment to appropriate $75,000 for commencing the erection of anew military post at Spokane, Wash., Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appropriation committee, made an appeal for economy, on the ground that the condition of the treasury was such that no new project should be entered upon by this congress. He was supported in his appeal by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, who, in some plain spoken words, insisted that the necessities of the situation must govern. He called attention to the fact that during the first 19 months of the operation of the present tariff law the receipts had been exceeded by the expenditures $76,000,000. This, of course, brought on a political discussion, in which Mr. Patterson (Dem., Tenn.) defended the administration and attributed the financial distress to Republican legislation. The amendment was adopted despite Mr. Cannon's appeal.
SWINDLING PATENT SCHEME.
Some Rogue Who Has Worked a Dozen Different Cities. WASHINGTON, April
2.—A scheme to
defraud which extended to various cities throughout the country and in which a I number of people in all those cities I fell victims in varying sums, including $1,200 by an Atlanta investor, has been discovered by the patent office officials. The scheme is the sale of a part interest in an alleged thill-coupler invention, the purported inventor disappearing after taking tho purchase money and leaving all the expenses for the investor.
Twelve different applications from 11 cities, accompanied by drawings which Bhow they were all made from tho same aluminum model, are already on file in the patent office here and the name of the inventor varies in each case, except in two sets of papers forwarded by different attorneys in Los Angeles, Gal. Joseph Evans, J. Evans, Porter Potter and, it is said, Jacob Owen of -Luiluth are among the names used, and the cities operated in, so l'ar as tho records show, are as follows: Portland, Ore. Memphis, Tenn. Now Orleans, La. Atlanta, Ga. Grand Rapids, Mich. Milwaukee, Wis. Seattle, Wash. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Gal. iJuluth, Minn., and Houston, 'i'ex. Most of the Victims bought a half interest in the invention.
A singular feature is the fact the punishment can only be made after proof that the operator had sold au interest in more than the whole of the patent and to prove this would mean the gathering of three men from three of these cities, in view of the half interest generally asligned. Even then the operators could be prosecuted only on the petty charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. Meanwhile, in the absence of furtlier papers, action on all casQs is susDended.
