his credentials to show whom he represented. Who. he asked, did the gentleman from Tennessee represent? "I represent the administration of Grover OveLand." rt-pliel Mr. Patterson. "Let us slnjr the !oxology," shouted a member on the Democratic side, amll general laughter. "The gentleman will surely accept the frerUeman's credentials." called out Mr. 3 alley, but Mr. Grosvenor shock his head, lie doubted, he said, whether Mr. Patterson represented even himself without a etruggle. He called attention to a recent leathering of Imocrats In Ttnnwee which, riad declared for free coinage. (Democratic applause.) 'The gentleman." continued Mr. Grosvenor. "fld to Missouri and entered on a pilgrimage for the enlightenment of that benighted State, and as he passed through 8t. Louis on hi. return he was greeted with the announcement that the Missouri delegation to Chicago would be for free silver. Able a the gentleman is. he comes without credentials. He. Is a guerrilla." When somebdy again suggested that Mr. Patterson represented Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Grosvenor said that Mr. Cleveland had not "been able to rally a majority of his pwn party In either branch of Congress. He was an Ihmat-Ute; his hand was against every DerrrocTatic organization. He admitted, amid much merrrment, that the presumption was that anybody-who was always against a majority of the Democratic party wa always right. When Mr. Grosvenor concluded with some words about the interment of the remain of the Democracy in November, the clerk, reading from the bill, shouted: "Superintendents of national cemeteries." This convulsed the House again, and Mr. Meredith shouted above the. noise that his side could not be burled in a rational cemetery. Later Mr. Bowers, an ardent free silver Republican, renewed the merriment by resenting the attacks made by the manufacturers of Philadelphia and the gold press on the sliver Republicans, and offered a series of farcical resolutions to the "effect that the ilvar cranks "should be expelled from Congress." "Vote! Vote! shouted several members. The resolutions Indorsed the firoM platform of Grover Cleveland, "In which tr.e Republicans have secured a reversionary Interest; applauded bank officials who were In Congress looking after their Interests, and condemned those who were representing tho silver mine owners." Mr. Blue charged indirectly that treasurers of he various, homes for disabled volunteers were compelled to furnish bonds In a particular surety company. Mr. Steele, one of the board of managers, denied the truth of the Insinuation, In so far as he had information. As a matter of fact, the board had no control over the bonds. That was a matter under the direction of the War Department, He resented tho Imputation. Thereupon Mr. Blue asked If It was true that all buildings taullt from post funds were Insured by the direction of the board of managers in a Hartford Insurance company, of which General Franklin, a member of the board, was an officer. Mr. Steele replied that he was not prepared to answer, but he thought If they were not insured they should be. far rs he knew, however, but one building, StJnson Hall, at Marlon. Ind.. was Insured. After completing the bill, save for a single passage, tho committee rose, and, at 5:10 p. m., the House adjourned. TUB POSTOFFICE BILL.

Another Spirited Debate on the Ocemn Moll Subsidy Provision. WASHINGTON. April l.-Ocean mall subsidies brought on an animated discussion In the Senate to-day, during the consideration of the postofflce appropriation bill Mr. Vilas opposed subsidies, and pointed out many Instances of what he declared were excessive payments for mall service. Mr. Perkins energetically defended subsidies for their encouragement to. American shipping. The subEldy Item was reserved for a separate vote to-morrow. The remainder of the postofflce appropriation bill was completed. Mr. Call Introduced a resolution of a radical character concerning Cuba, proposing the immediate use of the United States naval force to protect Americans In "Cuba from atrocities and lor humane reasons in general. Mr. George's speech- on the Dupont case occupied most of the day and is not yet completed. At the opening of the session Mr. Butler Introduced a bill requiring the acceptance of current legal tender fund in payment for notes, bonds or private obligations. The Senator explained that the pup-pos-3 of the measure was to pat a stop to gold n:tes, gold mortgages, etc.; which were being wrung from the people owing: to tnelr dirt financial distress Both of the oli pirtlc. said the 6ntor.' had favjrc J thia j-Ln in their olatforms, and tlii pr.p:M to nuke party promises good by a 1 v. "Does this propose 10 affect existing contracts?" aslwd Mr. Kill. "It does not," resornded Mr. JJutler. "I co not btlleve in breaking contracts." The bill was referred to tho finance committee. Mr. Call offered a resolution directing an Inquiry by th committee on public lands or tbe patenting of unsurveyed public lands in Florida, asserting that there was much Irregularity on the part of the Interior Department A3 to the lands, and manufacturing corporations were absorbing them. His colleague. Mr. Pasco, opposed giving the committee directions to investigate, and moved to refer the resolution to the committee without directions, and. on appeal by the two Senators. for support, the Pasco motion uras carried 29 to 20. At this point Mr. Call offered his Joint resolution directing the sending of an adequate naval force to Cub to put an end to barbarities and the violation, of treaty obligations. Mr. George, of Mississippi, then resumed nls speech in opposition to the claims of Mr. Dupont to a seat In the Senate. (Mr.Peffer gave notice that his motion to take up the resolution for a Senate inquiry into the recent bond Issues would be made to-morrow. Consideration of the postofflce appropriation bill was then resumed. Mr. Vilas renewed his opposition to ocean mail subsidies. Jle said that although this service increased the cost to the government by J70O.O0O annually, yet no new lines were started and no better service was given. In 1S87, prior to the payment of subsidies, the total cost of our foreign mails was J490.106, while the present bill appropriated 0,950,000 for the same service. Mr. Vilas said the International, or American, line received $220,000 last yrar for carrying 350 tons of American mall, while the Cunard, or British, line received CI 4.750 last year for carrying 633 tons of American mail the British line carrying twice the amount at- two-thirds the cost. Mr. Hawley Interposed to state that four ef the ships of the American line were equipped for armament, and were subject to call by the United States. Mr. Vilas said these ships were not available for war, except for transportation jpurposes. Mr. Hawley Insisted that the British government had fitted her merchant marine as auxiliary cruisers, and regarded them as a material branch of her navy, not only lor transporting, but for fighting purposes. Mr. Vilas expressed some surprise that Sir. Hawley had cited the British protection given to merchant ships. "I cited it," responded Mr. Hawley, "because the gentleman is a free trader and Great Britain is his idoL" Mr. Vilas said he was ready to take the Intelligent Instruction offered by any country or man. He went on to show the heavy end growing cost of ocean mall service. Mr. Vilas cited many cases of alleged excessive subsidies. The mall from New York to Havana last year, at regular rates, would iiave cost about $3,000. but. In fact. It cost ever $m0C0. The Bed D line received $79.CJO last year for mall to Venezuela, which at regular rates would have cost $11,783. This." he said. "Illustrates the beauty of subsidies." This great cost was accompanied by n7 benefits except that two of the American ships were to be serviceable for the United States navy. Of course, paid the Senator, these ships would not be able to fight against an armored ship. Mr. Vilas turned his attention to the proposed addition of $S0,000 In the compensation to tho oceanic steamship line for service from San Francisco to Hawaii and other south Pacific points, and denied that the service would be cut off If the addition was not trade. In the course of a colloquy Mr. Perkins said we were paying less in subsidies than New Zealand. "As an American citizen," declared Mr. Perkins. "I favored the fostering of American shipping as against English shipping. England. France and Russia paid last year $lS,oa.CKO in postal subsidies, but my friend from Wisconsin would not give a dollar to American shipping except from the regular postal rates." In the course of the discussion Mr. Vilas stated .the steamship companies had succeeded in carrying the point that statute miles should be measured on the sea Instead cf nautical miles, thus increasing their compensation one-sixth.

WEYLER'S DEAD LINE

IT SOW RUXS CLEAR ACROSS TIIC ISLAND OF CIDA. 2.1.000 Soldiers Are on Guard nnd Xo Insurgents Will De Permitted to rasaWhat Senator Call Wants. HAVANA. April 1. The new military line established across - the Island through the province of Pinar del "Rio, from Marlel. on tho north coast, to Majano, on the southwest coast, Is complete. The field telegraph has been extended the whole distance of sixteen miles. This line Includes the towns of Guanajay, Arteinisa. and Mangas. There is a double line of works, with small forts at regular Intervals, and about 25,000 troops are now guardin? the line to prevent a sudden dash by Maceo on a single point in his efforts to go eastward. The remainder of the Spanish army, at least 25,000 strong. Is Instructed to keep closely In touch with the Insurgent ariry and follow closely all Its movements. From all that can be learned tio meeting between Maceo and the Spaniards has occurred during the past week, but it is dl.Ticult to see how an encounter can be delayed much longer. The food question man soon compel Maceo to go eastward. Communication with Pinar del Rio city continues by courier and heliograph telegraph. The wires are still down beyond Artemlsa, but the railway, from Havana to Artemisa Is open for the transportation of military supplies, ' as is also the road to Guanajay. Maceo, according to the accounts, I. in hilly country, southwest of liahia Honda, near San Diego de los Banos. General Weyler is pursuing a new policy of conducting military operations. When he arrived In Cuba there were something like forty-generals, ranking from brigadr up to lieutenant generals. Weyler believes In young men. He says that when he was lieutenant colonel he did more work than he ever did afterwards. He believes that young officers with their spurs to win are more useful than plder ones in rank. He says that this war Is not suited to regular military operations by brigades and divisions; that companies of 1,000 men or less are most useful against an enemy that pursues a guerrilla warfare. Major General Suarez will return to Spain, and also Lieutenant General Pando, commanding Santa Clara province. Lieutenant General La . Chambre, commander of Santiago, is now in Havana, and it is uncertain whether he will return to his department Other generals are slated for retirement from commands. There have been differences between Weyler and Valdez over the treatment of a prisoner. Valdez wanted to execute him, but Weyler interposed and would not permit it. The rumor of the certain death of General Gomez Is still current here, and is being added to by alleged details of his demise. The latter are that the Cuban leader is said to have expired some days ago of hemoptysis, and the locality mentioned with some confidence as the scene of his passing away is the Socorro plantation, in the province of Matanzas. The remains are also said to have been Interred In the "official center." But no dates are given, and there are no facts forthcoming to confirm the report of Gomez's death. Private news of a reliable character received here through other than official channels states that Gomez passed six days since by Cruces and Santa Clara, going towards Puerto Principe. These advices assert that Gomez's health Is very much broken and that he desires to return to Santo Domingo. The Insurgent bands commanded by Jiermudez, in the province of Pinar del Rio, have ordered the countrymen of Halo de las Vegas. Quemado and Paso de las Mangas to Join the Insurgent ranks. The countrymen have complained to the government officials, and a column of troops has been sent to transfer the families into the towns. The insurgents have already burned the homes of these families. Several skirmishes have taken place between the troops and the insurgents in the province of Sant'a Clara, as well as in the province of Pinar del Rio. At San Jose de las Lfgas and at Gabriel there have been outbreaks. Twelve insurgents were killed at the former place and at the latter the insurgents hanged fix milkmen. The troops in Pinar del Itio have captured twelve insurgents. Herminlo Leyva. Central delegate of the Autonomist party, "has resigned. Conde Lesundl, Autonomist, will present himself as an independent candidate for the Cortes. General P?.ndo has arrived here for the purpcRo of holding: a conference with Captain General Weyler. A band of Insurgents has again attempted to pass the military line of Mariel, but without success. An exploring engine near Clfuentes was fird urn by a numerous band of insurgents. The engine's efcort inflicted a considerable loss upon the insurgents. RADICAL RESOLUTIONS. V Senator Call AVnntn Xnvnl Force Sent to the Island of Calm. WASHINGTON'. April 1. Mr. Call, of Florida, offered radical Cuban joint resolutions in the Senate to-day directing the sending of an adequate naval force to Cuba to put to an end the barbarities and to protect American citizens In their treaty rights. The President is instructed to notify Spain the United States will forcibly Intervene unless murder and outrage ceases. The resolutions are as follows: "Resolved, That the continued violations of the usages and rules of war between civilized people, the Inhuman and brutal outrages on men, women and children, constantly reported on reasoaable 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 considerations of a common humanity and civilization shamed and imperiled by barbarities and cruelties known only In the darkest, most cruel and bloody periods of human history. "Resolved, That an adequate naval force of the United States shall be Immediately sent to Cuba sufficient to protect bv force, if necessary, citizens of the United States from rwrong and the violation of treaty obligations between Spain and the United States. "Resolved. That the President of the United States communicate to the government of Spain thes resolutions and inform that government that the. United States will forcibly intervene to protect the rights pf American citizens and the interest of civilization Jf there shaU be a further occurrence of murder and outrage or the shooting or putting to death of prisoners of war In the conflict between Spain and the revolutionary forces of Cuba." The resolutions went over under the rules until to-morrow. A Patriot Last Words. ST. LOUIS, April L Col. Placea Jarez, aged sixty, who recently commanded a Cuban regiment, died at the City Hospital here as the result of a wound received while escaping from the military prison at Pinar del P.lo, Cuba, on Feb. 23. The colenel made for the coast, where he went to sea in a skiff, and finally succeeded In boarding the Annie M., an American sailing vessel, bound for New Orleans. At New Orleans he remained only a few days and secured a position as second antryman on a river steamboat for St. ouls. Jarez arrived here last week. CoL Jarez's last "words to those at his bedside were: "Send word to my son to fight till the end for the cause." His son's name is Gonzales Jarez, and he Is a captain under Col. Ryder, of Maceo's army. As Col. Jarez has no friends In this city his remains will probably occupy a pauper's grave. The Bermuda Cargo Seised. WASHINGTON. April l.-Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister here, ha3 received word from Spanish diplomatics and consular offloads in Central America saying that the steamer Bermuda, havirg aboard munitions of war for the insurgents In Cuba, has been detained at Port Cortez by the ilonduraa government and her cargo seized. Spanish Schools Reopened. MADRID, April L The medical schools of the universities of Madrid, Granada, Valencia and Carlz, which were closed on account of the antl-Amerlean manifestations of the students, have been ordered to reopen their doors. Dyirert Still Alive. WASHINGTON, April l.-OfflcIal advices received by the State Department from the representatives of the United States In Cuba show that Dygert, the citizen cf Illinois arrested by tho Spanish authorities. Is alive and well treated, that the Spaniards have had under consideration the question Of h!s release at once, but after an exami

nation reached the conclusion that the circumstances which have came to light concerning his movements warranted at least further Inquiry before his cafe can be disposed of. The inquiry into Dygert's case, therefore, is still proceeding, and Dygert will be held at least until it is completed. . EMANUEL MXGEU ARRESTED.

Supposed. to He the Slost Skillful Penman In the Country. NEW YORK, April 1. Emanuel Nlnger was arrested to-night and confined In Lud-low-street Jail in default of $20,000 bail. The secret service agents of the federal governmen believe that they have solved the secret of this mysterious man's life and at the same time have a counterfeiter who has baffled all their efforts for seventeen years. It is a case that has been handed down by many a retiring chief of the secret servlae to his successor. It was in 1879 that the government detectives first began to hunt for a penman who, by his painstaking handicraft and skill, could, with simple pen, ink and paper, so successfully Imitate a costly engraved United States greenback or- bank note that it defled detection by any except experts. They - found traces of his work in many parts of the country, but every time they thought they had a definite clew he would vanish and they would be compelled to begin their chase all ever again. Agent George Bagge, of the secret service, is of the opinion that Nlnger is the man they have been looking for so long. Mr. liagge claims that Nlnger has made a confession, and has surrendered the ' pens, ink and paper which he used in making th? counterfeit bills. Nlnger has lived on a small farm near Flagtown, N. J., for years. His neighbors noticed that he had a strange habit of disappearing several, times a year. Occasionally he would b away from hom-j for weeks at a time, but none of the village gossips ever undertook to learn the reason. FA KIR SINGH ARRIVES FREDERICK ST. GEORGE BOOTH. TUCKER AT NEW YORK. Xew, Commander of the Salvation Army Stakes a Speech and Says He Will Become a Cltlsen. NEW YORK. April l.-Frederick SL George Booth-Tucker, recently appolntei by General Booth as commander of the Salvation Army in the Untied States, to succeed Balllngton Booth, arrived to-night on the steamship Majestic. He was met at the dock by a group of Salvation Army officers and informed that his baby, Bramwell, was dead and that his wife was 11L The new commander proceeded at once to the bedside of Mrs. Booth-Tucker, Mr. Booth-Tucker was born in India. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in England. Returning to India he achieve prominence in his profession and was made a judge. He became interested in the work of the Salvation Army and formed what is now known as the Bast Indian branch of that organization. In India Commander Booth-Tucker Is known as Fakir Singh. Later In the evening Commander BoothTucker went to the national headquarters of th American branch of . the Salvation Army In West Fourteenth street, where he greeted a throng of enthusiastic members of the organization. - After an Informal introduction by Commissioner Carleton and the attendant greetings, Mr. Booth-Tucker 6j&it3 1 "My policy shall be one of love and. not of aggressiveness. I shall do in the sphere of my new command as I have done In India, I will follow in the fashion of the American people whom General Booth so dearly loves and admires. The information . which has been placed before me during my brief sojourn in America, to the effect that B&lllns-ton Booth has charged that the London officers suppressed three cablegrams sent by him to his father, Is to me a surprise. Everything in connection ;with the American situation has been placed before the Oeneral. The circumstances are entirely regreatable, but the Salvation Army has g"ot to that stage now that if all the leaders had run away the women In the slums would take up the deserted flag and proceed with the good work, aided by God and proceeding effectively to-day in every nation in the wcrld. "The secession of Balllngton Booth has attracted a great deal of sympathy and aroused a lot of dormant affection in England for "the Salvation Army in the United States. The English people still hop that Balllngton Booth will see his way to return to the fold, and I shall use every means in my power to secure that end. In regard to the transfer of the property and the legal obstacles which seem to beset myself and Mrs. Tucker, and in order that it might be overcome, I am going to be naturalized aa soon as possible and will immediately bring myself into line with the law of the country. I think the least Balllngton Booth might have done was to grant an interview to his own sister. It seems so unreasona ble to us to have him ask that witnesses should be present. When a person wants to make an appeal to a person's heart he is not going to make a fool of himself by shedding tears in the presence of a third party, whose presence has so much to do with distracting the attention of the parties Immediately concerned. Balllngton Booth was not dismissed; we deny that in toto. "There is no foundation whatever to the report that Colonel Nlcol, who recently returned to London, contemplates joining the volunteers. When I parted with him before leaving for this country he had no leaning in that direotion. It Is true that he placed, a statement defining the situation here before the General and telling "him how the officers and soldiers In America had so nobly and gallantly stood by their guns. He stated that a widespread feeCing on the outside was rather against us. and added that latterly the press had a disposition to take our side. "I have come to America with a very deep sense of the honor and responsibility which has been praced upon me. Every scrap of influence, power, brain, body and heart I will lay at America's feet, and hope that what I am not now America will soon make me, an adopted son. I shall sit at her feet and shall not be above learning every day of my life. I have brought with me a big bag of campaign plans and a very wide programme which I shall not undertake to carry out until after the welcome meeting in Carnegie Hall." Commander Booth-Tucker seemed confident of being able to induce Commander Booth to return to the army. He said it was more than probable that General Booth would pay a visit to America In the fall and review the whole Salvationist field. Commander and Mrs. Balllngton Booth, where they expect to form a branch of their new organization to-morrow night. They will return to this city Friday and start for Chicago Saturday. Before leaving for Buffalo to-night Commander Balllngton Booth Issued the following: "The question has been asked whether I consider my conversation with Mrs. Commissioner Booth-Tucker on Wednesday, when I declared my determination not to enter Into any further negotiations with the new commissioners, as final. I desire to make public the fact that what I said to Mrs. Commissioner Booth-Tucker Is tatamount to what I would have paid if I was asked to meet Commissioner Tucker. Every bit of me Is with the Volunteers." A Drunken Man' Deed. BUFFALO. April 1. John Muller, a German saloon keeper, fifty-one years of age, while crazy drunk to-day, tried to kill all the members of his family and then cut his own throat. In the rear of his saloon. Mullers son-in-law, who acted as bartender, was scrubbing the floor of the saloon when Muller opened hostilities by grabbing a butcher knife from a free-lunch counter and striking at him with it. The blow fell short. Muller next attacked his daughter. She grabbed the knife, and in the scuffle had both her hands badly cut. Rushing past her, the old man stabbed the knife into the abdomen of his wife. Inflicting a ugly but not dangerous wound. Mrs. Muller fled precipitately, and the maniac rushed behind the bar, and, facing the mirror, so that he might see what he was doing, cut his throat first on one side and then the other. Muller was removed to the Fifth-avenue hospital, where he lies in a critical condition. Her Blgr Sleeves. Detroit Tribune. A strong argument against the leg-of-mutton sleeves worn by the women of the period was found In an accident that occurred at the corner of Grand River and Woodward avenues yesterday afternoon. A youn? woman, who gave her name .as Florence Madge, of 4D Bagley avenue, was crossing the avenue when she was overtaken by a horse and buggy. The end of the thills caught in the young woman's big sleeves, and she was pushed and shoved along the Iavement until sho finally fell down, ruining ler dress and hat. Slu was taUen into a near-by drug store, but the mast serious damage dtne was to the sleeves on her dress, and the physician who was called could not Clve her any aid.

BISMAfiCK'S BIRTHDAY

GER3IAXYS EX-CHAXCELLOR YEARS OLD YESTERDAY. 81 Many Congratulations and Tributes of Love and Admiration Tendered the 3Ian of Dlood and Iron.' FRII3DRICHSRUHE. April 1. Prince Bismarck was eighty-one years old to-day, and in honor of his birthday bands of muste played In the Schlo3 Park all tho morning. Count Herbert Bismarck arrived at Friedrichsruhe ye?terday evening, but his brother. Count William, was absent on account of ill health. Representatives of the Hamburg Senate, bearing the congratulations of that body, and several friends arrived here during the day and waited on Prince Bismarck. who also received many floral tributes and presents and large numbers of telegrams, including one from Prince Henry of Prussia. Emperor William's present to Prince Bismarck was a photograph of the imperial family, in a group. Inclosed In a handsome frame. Later in the day rain fell and thinned out the crowds. A prominent mine owner, Count Douglass, with fifty miners In holiday costume, arrived here at 4 o'clock In' the afternoon and marched to a hotel headed by a band of music. They will take part In the torchlight procession this evening. Prince Bismarck entered the salon at 11:30 and found displayed on a table his birthday presents. Ho was affectionately greeted by his son. Count Herbert Bismarck, and by Viis daughter, Oauntess Rautzau. After Dr. Schwelmnger had congratulated the Prince the latter closely examlnei his portrait, painted by Lenbach, who appeared later, wnereupon Prince Bismarck greeted him with a "good morning." Among the presents was a collection of articles from Madagascar, tent by Eugene i Wolf. Included among those who were the earliest In presenting their congratulations to the Prince were Gen. Ccunt Von Waldersee and a deputation from the Halberstadt Curassiers. Special trains from 'Hamburg brought some 3,000 people here. Including 30O torch-bearers. After dinner was over Prince Bismarck appeared on the balcony, and the assembled bands played a qnoral. 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 lest several other sympathies. Expressing, then, a desire for the commercial prosperity of Hamburg, he declared that he was no fanatical Agrarian, but that, after all. the Agrarians were not without grounds fox their opinions. In conclusion, he called for cheers for Hamburg and Us rulers, i In response to this prolonged cheers were given. There was then a parade by a brilliant torchlight procession, which occupied fortyfive minutes in passing. Prince Bismarck stood most of that time, continually expressing his acknowledgments to those passing. He observed that he was no longer able tw move as they did, but that his heart went with them. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times says that Emperor William has conferred the title of excellency on Count on Rantzau, the husband of Prince Bismarck's daughter, and that he has sent a most gracious telegram to Prince Bismarck, from Palermo, on the occasion of his eighty-first birthday. The correspondent adds: "Ai the sunshine of the imperial favor is again shining, the seml-ofilcial press again offers Prince BUmarck incense instead of vinegar. The Kolnlsche Zeitung talks of the close of the period of defiant resistance on the part of the Iron Chancellor, 'whose noble figure Ehlnes forth with . renewed splendor. His bitterest enemies are beginning to realize the true proportions of his colossal genius. Prince Bismarck's own organs are less inclined to bury the past. The Neuest Nachrichten declares that the discontent aroused by his dismissal will not die. even with his life, and future generations will indignantly ask how Germany came to be robbed of Its greatest statesman in order to place a novice at the helm."

The State Board of Charities In Its report to the Governor enters a protest against the law which provides for the release of convicts at the scene of their conviction. The law Is a senseless one, passed At the urgent solic

itation of Indiana's two penitentiary towns which objected to having prisoners turned loose "in their mldit." These towns have asked for and received the location of the penitentiaries and should be willing to accept the attendant circumstances. The mney spent for transportation of officers and prisoners would go a great way toward keeping the convict until some honorable means of gaining a livelihood could be found. Here in Terre Haute we have ha3 several object lessons which go to show that the State commits a crime when it forces these men Into their old associations with a dead wall between them and any opportunity for an honorable career. Naturally enough they are soon at the bar of Justice again and the fact of their having been convicts before is a circumstance which naturally condemns them In Itself. The law Is stupid In its conception and criminal In Its results. It should be repealed at the earliest opportunity. BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY

BAST-BOrXD CAXXOX BALL" OX THE 'FRISCO ROAD UEXO VP. Exprenn Safe Blown Open with Dynamite and an Unknown Amount of Money Taken. LEBANON. Mo.. April L-The east-bound "cannon ball' train No. 6, on the St. Loui3 & San Francisco railroad, was held up three mi!es east of this city at 1:03 o'clock this morning by three masked men and the safe blown open and robbed. The robbers boarded the train at this place at 12:30 a. m., and, after reaching the scene of the robbery, held up the engineer and fireman, stopped the train, and with the engineer In front of them marched to the express car. The messenger refused to open the door, and It was blown open with dynamite, the safe cracked and its contents removed. Several packages of valuable papers were found this morning beside the track, and some money, which had been overlooked in the hurry of departure. The passengers were not molested. The engine was detached and run by the robbers to Sleeper, where it was abandoned. A brakeman hurried back to the city and started Sheriff Jones and a posse on the track of the robbers. Three strangers, who are supposed to be the robbers, were drinking in one of the saloons here at 10 o'clock last night, and they were seen near the depot by night operator Martin only a few minutes before the "cannon ball" arrived. The brakeman furnished a fair description of the men to the officers in pursuit, and the raKway officials are confident they will be speedily, apprehended. While the amount of money secured by the robbers is known to have been considerable, the local express officials will not place an estimate on it. The W'ells-Fargo Company offers $300 reward for the arrest of the robbers. 11 lool hound on tlir Trail. ST. LOUIS, April l.-The Wells-Fargo officials here say the amount of money secured by the robbers was only $1,277. About one hundred mounted men are In pursuit of the robbers. Road agent Dradway is in Lebanon. Bloodhounds will be put on the trail and every means known to railroad and express as well as local authorities will be used to capture the outlaws. The robbers ran the detached locomotive abjut four miles from where they robbed the train, and killed her fire and took to the wocds. It took engineer .Pr.ce and, fireman Meyers more than an hour to get up steam, and the train arrived here more thaa two hours late. While nope of the passengers was molested, mere was great excitement among them occasioned by the frequent firing of pistols by the robbers. evidently for the purpose of . intimidating them. The train crew and passengeis teii about the same story of the. hold up and robbery as the one already reported from Lebanon. The conductor, C. J. Price, was able to tell, perhaps, the best story of the robbery. "We left the station at Lebanon at 1 o'clock this morning," he said, "arter taking on a half dozen passengers. I got on . the rear Pullman sleeper Cinaloa, and walked towards the baggage, car. I reached the front end of the baggage car when we were about six minutes out of Iebanon A man, who afterwards turned out to be one of the robbers, "was in the smoking car and he gave me a ticket for St. Jxu:3, When I openei the door, leading to the blind baggage two men who were standing on the rear platform of the express car, with masks over their faces and revolvers In their hands, began cursing me. They ordered me back into the car and. began firing into the air to frighten the passengers and myself. I went back, into the smoker, but as I did so the bandits pullet the bed rope and the man from whom I bad taken a ticket covered his face with a white cloth that had two holes cut in it for his eyes and leveled his revolver at me as I brush i by. By the time he got to the platform the train had stopped and I ru.hed on through tbe. train, where the women folk and some of the men were frightened nearly o death. I cautioned all of them against putting their heads out of the window and told them that the train was being robbed. I also told them to toe quick in concealing their valuable, as the robbers would probably go through the train. The passengers were not disturbed." A CLIl AN HEROINE. She Enlisted with Her Drothers as a Soldier nnd Died. . Philadelphia Times. In the?e Ways of prosala thought and business Instinct it seems hardly posslb'" tt there could be a woman so imbued with the romance of her race that sha wouid be wiping to fight for Its principles cf lioerty as only mtn are supposed to fight. But fin de riecle thought !s faced by tha report that ccmes frcm Cuba of a wealthy, high-bred, girl who gave up her life for the country she dwelt in, the people whom she so dearly loved. Matilda A gram on te y Varona, daughter cf two of the great-families of Cuba, heiress to the fame and traditions of two old names of Spain, and to the remaant of a fortune that was once one of the largest In the rich island, was killed a week ago fighting in the ranks side by side with rebel soldiers. For generations the men of her name have fought the mother country. Every rebellion lhas found Agramontes and . Varonas under the banner of Cuba Libre. Her father and a brother gave up their lives In the ten years' war. Her remaining brothers and uncles trlisted unJer General Maceo, and left iier alcne on tho plantation In Puerto Principe, the enly property left to the vast estate. She went to visit friends In a neighboring town, and on her return she found the family residence burned, the cane gone, the servants murdered or scattered. A Spanish guerrilla had crossed there and destroyed the place. There was no place for the girl to go, so she asked the first band of rebels that passed that way to take her with them to Maceo's camp. Once there she asked to be enlisted as a soldier. The chief at first refused, but her brothers and uncles told him that she would starve otherwise, and he relented and enrolled her. She saw only one battle. At Aycleta. near the town cf Quemado de GInes, the advance of a strong Spanish column overtook Maceo's command. The rebels were hopelessly outnumbered and a battle meant a catastrophe. Maceo was on his way to meet the Bermuda, and twothirds of his men were to be armed with the wt2poM she brought. He called for volunteers to face the Spanish army an delay their march, so that the remainder cf the column could escape, Th? first to step forward In answer to the call were the Cuban girl, her . brothers and unoles. They knew nhat the service meant d-aath, but they w?nt, and the girl stood there shoulder to thouli?r .with the othea volunteers and fired until she fell. Tha Spaniards saw she was a woman, and called on her to surrender. "Prlmero muero!" she answered, "Vive Cuba Libre!" She fell dead with a dozn wounds, and row the Cubans spak of her as "The War Angel of Ayoleta. Mrs. Mnybrlck's Case. Ballard Smith. In New York World. Poor Mrs. Maybrick seems destined to remain In prison for at least another six years. There is no probability of a change in the Home Secretaryship for that perioi, and Sir Matthew White Ridley's decision the other day was obviously final so far as he Is concerned. It Is, however, publicly stated that Sir Matthew trusted to the counsel of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hals bury, a very crusty old gentleman. The fact is that to acknowledge the injustice of Mrs. Maybrick' s trial or sentence would be to impeach the memory of the late Mr. Justice Stephen, albeit that he was removed from the bench not long after because of his mental condition.. All the English world knows that he was in about the same condition when he so furiously charged against Mrs. Maybrick, but the fact is decorously ignored by the legal fraternity, and of course would not be acknowledged by an associate on the bench. I imagine also that active American intervention and criticism has hurt rather than helped her case. Just as the aristocratic English yachting world will not acknowledge Lord Dunraven's outrageous conduct, because to do so wou!d.be to impeach England's pseuio reputation for fairness in sport, so to admit foreign and particularly American criticism of the alleged impartial Justice of English courts is 1 a thins not to be thought of.

PftlCES TO BE KAISED

CCmitlXATIOX OF DIG MANUFACTURERS OF STCCL BILLETS. Important Meeting at Jferr York This Evening Present Hates Said to Be Too Lovf for Profit. PHILADELPHIA, April L Nearly all of the leading manufacturers of steel billets, rails, slab and blooms, or their representatives, will meet in New York to-morrow night, at the Hotel Savoy, to perfect a combination for the control of the price and the nature and quantity of the output In their respective branches of the steel industry. At a meeting in New York last Friday evening the preliminary plans for the combination were discussed, but, as all the manufacturing companies were hot represented, and as some of the companies were only represented by their agents, it was decided to adjourn till to-morrow evening. Meantime, the agents have submitted the plans to their respective employers, who will be on hand, and it is understood that they are unanimous in their indorsement of the combination, and will promptly adopt plans to consummate It. There are roJ1 twenty to twenty-five companies In the United States which manufacture steel billets for the general market. Of these, it is stated, the following will.be on hand at the meeting: Jones & Laughlin Company. Pittsburg; Riverside steel works. Wheeling, W. Va.; Cambria Iron Company, Johnstown, Pa.; Wheeling Steel and Iron Company, Wheeling, W. Va.; National. Tube Works Company, McKcesport. Pa.; Illinois Steel Company. Chicago; Bethlehem Iron Company, JtJethlehem, Pa.; Carnegie Steel Company, Pittsburg; Pennsylvania JSteei Company, Steelton, Pa.; the Carnegie, Nesworth & Shoenberger Steel -Company, the Junction Iron and Steel Company, Mingo Junction, O.; the Johnson Company, Loraine, O.; Maryland Steel Company, Sparrows Point, Md.; Ohio Steel Company, Youngstown; Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company, Scranton; Shenango Valley Steel Company, Newcastle, Pa. and the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company. This list comprises the chief billet manufacturers of the country, whose co-operation must be obtained If the combination is to be effective, and it Is understood that if any of the minor companies fail to enter such means will be adopted in dealing with them as will bring them In harmony with the rest. Despite the reports that have been circulated, it is definitely stated that this combination of steel billet manufacturers, whose combined capital turns Into the hundreds of millions, has not been formed yet. It is expected, however, that a combination will be formed to-morrow night: that the plans of combination will then be adopted; that definite agreements will be reached as to the price and quantity of the output, the terms of mutual support and contribution, and the standard of specifications. So far as could be learned from a canvass of the local iron companies, there are only five with headquarters or representatives In this city which are members of the combination. These are the Carnegie Iron Company, the Cambria lrcn Company, the Pennsylvania Iron Company, the Bethlehem Iron Company and the Junction Iron and Steel Company. The movement began last August, in Philadelphia, -when the representatives of a tew of the companies met at the Stratford Hotel and attempted to agree on some standard specifications in estimating on iron and steel work. Since then the movement has grown, until, by general consent, it embraces that entire branch of the iron and steel industry. Prices Too Low for Profit. PHILADELPHIA, April l.-James M. Swank, general manager of the American lrcn an! Steel Association, In k response to a request for a statement regarding the rumored combination cf cteei companies, said to-day; "I have no definite Information about a pooling arrangement, but any arrangement amcng manufacturers Ls Justifiable that secures fair reward for capital and labor and dees not unfairly advance prices. There Is no danger that prices will be thus advanced. Our lrcn and steel manufacturers have never yet- taken undue advantage of their customers. It ia not tor their interests to do this. and they will not do so now,' but they ought net to be expected to continue the ruinous policy of giving ths.'r products away and to a inviting. addltlona: financial disaster for.themselves and others. Better prices for iron anJ Eteel will brinj? better timea far everybody. "The numerous financiat failures among iron and steel manufacturers during the last three years prove that the pricas of iron and steel, with the exception of the short-lived boom of last summer, have been too low to be profitable to capital and to insure gDl wages to labor. The prices of coal and coke and iron ore hive alsa been too tow for all concerned in their production. The prices of these raw materials and of the finished producis darived from them have been lower than ever before known in this country. Recently the prices of raw materials have been materially advanced by a concert of action among producers, and this action has made it absolutely necessary that the manufacturers of iron and steel should also materially advance the price of their products." A Cleveland dispatch says: As a result of the foxmatlon cf the Steel Trust the price of Bessemer pig Iron has advanced $1.25 a ton within two days. Two weeks ago the mills would not buy at 112 a ton. Now thre is brisk bidding at tt3.?5. II j -Product Coke Plant. PITTSBURG, April 1. The contract has been let for the erection of the largest byproduct coke plant In the United States to be located at McKecsport, adjoining the National tube works. The capital to be invested will be about $1,0J3.00j, which is being furnished by the Union Gas Company, o: Philadelphia. Forty acres of ground has been leasea near the tube works. Involving tte tearing down of more than one hundred dwelling's. It is intended to erect 120 Otto-Hoffman by-product -Coke oven on this property. The advantage cf these ovens will be appreciated when It is stated that the coke costs practically nothing, as the money made In the saving of the by-products will pay for the burning of the coke. It is estlmatei that the waste of gas alone in the old bee-hive ovens is. 21 per cent, greater than the gas consumption of the whole United States. THE SOLDIERS' HOMES. Contention na to Who Shall Hare the Management. Washington Pest. The naming of two Republicans to succeed two Democrats as members of the board or managers of the national homes for disabled volunteer soldiers has again revived the question of transferring the management cf those institutions to the War Department. The discussion of this question is not, like a Jug handle, all on one side, for there aro strong arguments bcth fcr and sgalnst tha proposition. The most zealous advocates cf the proposed change are officers of the regular army. They contend, that the official positions in-the hemes, such as governor, adjutant, quartermaster, surgeon, assistant rurgecn. etc.. are In their legitimate fleld. The duties of such officers are more or less military in character, the positions are pleasant, and would increase the Income of officers detailed frcm the regular army to fin tbm. We suppose there is no question that under their management honesty and economy could be depended upon; but there has been little. If any, complaint of lack of integrity or efficiency In the administration of the affairs of the homes since the first of them was opened, soon after the close of our great war. During all these years the officers In charge have been ex-?old!ers of the volunteer army, varying In rank from enlisted men to major general. The inmites of the homes are fald to be a unit in opposition to the proposed transfer to the War Department. While they have a sincere rtrspe;t for the regulars, they prefer their old comrides for officers. And this is Just as natural as is the feeling of the regulars that such positions ought to be assigned to them. The ex-solilers of the, volunteer armies who have been so fortunate as not to need the asylum afforded by the homes naturally sympathise with the inmates in their opposition to the proposed change. Against all this opposition the strongest arguments cf the regulars are unlikely to prevail. It has been the policy of Congress to give favorable consideration to every reasonable request cf the veterans. Humanity and partv interesis have impelled both parties to llberilky in pension legislation, and In the establishment and maintenance of the homes. The nnn considerations will be likely to secure compliance with the wish of the soldiers oa thla question. Business Embarrassments. CHICAGO. April 1. By decree Issued frcm the Superior Court to-day the door3 of the Riche!leu Hotel will be c'osed in ten days and the property sold in its entirety after the expiration of three weeks. The proceeds of the sale wUI be divided between the bondholders, who commenced the foreclosure proceedings against the cominy.

WMMaMaMMiaMMMMHa THE ATTACKS OX M'KINLEY. Their Animus Is Apparent and Ca itO Ileuetion In 111a Favor. 1 1.1 V. B., in Cincinnati Commercial GazetteThe activity of the members of the national Republican committee against Major McKlnley Is exciting not only indignation, but disgust, and as it should do. is strongly reacting in his favor. To use the machinery and th influence of this committee to promote or to hinder the prospects of any reputable candidate is to usurp the powers of the committee, and be false to the trusts Impofl. From covert activity against Major McKlnley on the part of several of the most active member of that committee, they have at last Joined In open and undisguised hostility. It Is a wholesome sign that the masses of voters seem to be in revolt against such measures, and that they are producing aa opposite effect from what was intended and expected. The mud slinging, made prominent by Beniator Chandler, and directed at Aiajor lieKtnley, is also helping him. if the charges had been true in the form and to the-cxtent preferred they should have been fatal to any candidate. But when followed by the admission that no rroof whatever was at hand, and that they had been only rtpeated at second hand, the bolts aimed with deadly attempt fell harmless, and those dealing th blow stand convicted of political assault with intent to kill. Of like effect In Major McKinley favor Is the evident attempt of a combine of bosses against him. Every new manifestation ef such efforts adds to his friends among the voters. If what is learned at this national center concerning the universal Republican sentiment is correct it hay already become exceedingly doubtful whether any candidate nominated by these influences can succeed against a sound money Democratic planlc and a reputable Democratic candidate. The bosses and the manipulators of the natlonat Republican committee may for once overreach themselves. ' Obituary. IjOCCDOX, April 2.
