COLOSSUS IS RHODES BEKMS TO Sll \KK FAf.LWD WHEN HE STEPS FOOT OX THE ISLAM). * People of AH ClaoneH Beg Hin Favor anil View Him iu the Potentate of the Bluck Continent. CECIL’S RAILROAD SCHEME ♦ THE CAPE TO CAIRO PROJECT CONSIDERED UV THE CABINET. Britain Tightening- Her Grip on North Afrien—English Views of Samoa and the Philippine!*. ♦ (Copyright, 1599, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Jan. 21.—Great Britain seems to shake to its foundation whenever Mr. Cecil Rhodes steps foot on the island. He is the biggest man in the kingdom to-day. peers, cabinet ministers, promoters with Munchausen schemes, duchesses craving for tips on "Kaffirs” (or South African securities), workmen who cherish dreams of emigration and bishops solicitious for African souls haunt his hotel and beg for even ti e briefest interviews as though he had already realized his aspiration. The popular mind credits him with being the potentate of the African continent. The Cabinet met, yesterday, specially to discuss Mr. Rhodes's scheme for government guarantees of the Cape to Cairo Railroad and telegraph. Mr. Rhodes afterwards conferred with Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer. Mr. Rhodes says £10,000,000 will cover the entire cost of the work and there is little doubt that he will carry his point with the government- and raise ail the money he needs in the city. Before the projectors can act in the matter there will be a formality in the shape of a parliamentary bill; hut, the Imperialists may be backed to drive over the so-ealied "Little Englanders” who are preparing an Opposition to the scheme, declaring that the Rhodesian empire is making for a gigantic fiasco and that Mr. Rhodes wants the government to lift him out a hole by throwing good money after bad, into a railroad through a wilderness. They also lind a coincidence in Mr. Rhodes's home coming and the revisal of newspaper outbursts against the Boers' oppression of British residents in the Transvaal. * * * By slow steps, so as not to arouse the antagonism of the powers, but in pursuance of a deiinite plan, Great Britain is tightening her grip op North Africa. The Egyptian convention, so far as the Sudan is concerned, accomplishes all that those who prodded the Marquis of Salisbury to declare a protectorate, could have desired. Great Britain no longer governs through the Khedive. She becomes a coequal ruler and ignores the mixed tribunals. This means that the governor general is responsible only to Downing street and Parliament. The comment of the Liberte of Paris that "Great Britain does not annex the Sudan—she palms it iike a sleight-of-hand professor," is a specimen of the spirit in which France, already incensed at Great Britain, regards Great Britain's progress toward absolute sovereignty in Egypt. * * * Samoa commands but small interest in Great Britain, and the belief seems to prevail that the dispatches magnify the importance of the consuls' battles and that Germany will manage to gracefully disavow the acts of her agents. A diplomate remarked that Germany is filling for the United States government the role Russia has played in the eyes of the Anglo-Indian, that of the conspirator to be looked for behind every war cloud. The British government, however, welcomes the Samoan incident as another link of the Anglo-Amer-ican understanding, which they are so desirous of fostering. * * * British investors in the Philippines are curiously ignorant of American politics, and are seriously discussing the possibility of Presjfhmt McKinley appointing an Englishman to govern the islands. They argue that is impossible to iind in America an experienced administrator acquainted with the character of the Filipinos, and suggest the name of ex-Governor Creagh, of British Romeo, who is now living in England, as being eminently qualified and willing to take the post. Some financiers are beginning to take a gloomy view of the future of the Philippines. Mr. Ernest Ruffert, thi head of a Lombard-street house, who bought large tracts of lands about Manila, said to a representative of the Associated Press: "The land is useless under the present conditions. We could not plint crops with the possibility of the natives destroying them over night. The United States will be unable to rule more than the fringe of the islands without an army of 10U.000 men. They might buy the native leaders, hut they would not stay bought, and the United States must rebuy them periodically. The end of the matter will be that the United States will sell the Philippines.” • • • A majority of the Ixmdon speculators tymdling American stocks have been badly bitten through pinning their faith to the prevailing idea that a reaction and a drop in prices must soon come.

Dentists and physicians maintain that if mankind always ate soft food, the teeth would finally drop out. Reasonable resistat co in grinding food, strengthens and adds to the life of the teeth. Chewing is the method nature Intended by which the necessary juices can be brought out of the gums. These facts were remembered by the originator of Grape-Nuts, and those who enjoy the new food will appreciate how it is possible to produce a food that is an absolute pleasure to masticate. On the other hand, those who cannot chew food, can instantly make a soft mush of Grape-Nuts by pouring over some hot milk. Add to this a flavor, crisp and satisfying, a well-fed feeling after the meal, and the popularity of Grape-Nuts is not difficult to understand. They are made by the Postum Cos. at Battle Creek, Mich., and aoid by grocers.

has been fostered by the financial papers. For weeks they have been declaring that the phenomenal advances were artificial and could not possibly be maintained, speaking of the "boom” sarcastically in such terms as the "American mania." The result has been that many professionals have been caught on the bear side, selling Americans for a fall which failed to materialize. They found that the heavy selling of the Venezuelan and "free silver" periods had not left enough stocks here to meet their orders, and they were forced to buy in America at advanced prices. Still, the Stock Exchange here adheres to the opinion that the "boom" will be overdone, that the ebb will set in in the natural course of events, and that it cannot be far distant. The Statist, in a somewhat alarmist tone, points out that the unprecedented amount of American capital employed in Europe. $10,000,000 or $15,010,000, chiefly in Ixmdon and Berlin, may be withdrawn at its owner's pleasure, and that possibly American spec ulation will become so rampant that the owners will recall their money and invest it there. The paper fears set ious shipments to New York would send up rates in Europe. * * * Great Britain presents a vivid contrast between the potency of civic and military fame. To put it baldly, Gladstone dead is quoted at £20,000 in the memorial market, while Kitchener alive easily commands £120,000. T|ie promoters of the Gladstone memorial, who expected to secure £200,000 to establish libraries in the principal cities, through popular contributions, are greatly depressed at the results of the appeals to the people. After several months these appeals have only resulted in collecting onetenth of the sum desired. But in the case of Kitchener, who dazzled the empire with the laurels of a day spent in mowing down thousands of savages by the perfection of military discipline and machinery, the British climb over one another in their eagerness to pour money into the "College for Blacks,” otherwise the Gordon Memorial College at Khartum, to educate a people they have never seen in a county they have never cared for, as a tribute to the conqueror. The Gladstone fund, however, will be made up by wealthy men, who will gladly give their money, but v. ho are grievously chagrined at the lukewarmness of the people who called him leader and whom they expected to contribute spontaneously. * * * When the conservative churchmen who persisted in shutting their eyes to the theological controversies read the headlines in the Times and Spectator, "Crisis in the Church of England,” they were compelled to recognize that the agitation against the "mass and confessional,” started by Konsit and carried on by Harcourt, had come to a pass demanding settlement. The bishops, being finally driven to grapple with the problem, met at Lambeth palace this week and discussed the policy of issuing a manifesto. While the deepest secrecy surrounds the proceedings, it is said that it has been one of the bitterest conclaves in the history of the church, as it certainly was one of the most important, and that it has resulted in an agreement to present a bill to Parliament for a revival of the church courts. It provides that disputes must first be brought before the diocesan court, consisting of the bishop, assisted by a theological and legal adviser. An appeal therefrom will be possible to the provincial court, consisting of the archbishop and six assessors, and as a last resort to five lay judges, appointed by the crown. * * * Mr. Joseph H. Choate, the new ambassador of the United Slates to the court of St. James, will be warmly received in London. Already the American Society is arranging for a banquet in his honor, to give an opportunity to the American colonists to meet the ambassador face to face. There will be a bombardment of requests for afterdinner speeches as soon as he is installed. Householders here, regarding the American ambassador necessarily as a gold mine, are sending to the embassy numerous offers at twice the rentals they would have the temerity to ask of Englishmen. * * * Henry White, the American charge d'affaires, gave a dinner this evening at the Princess restaurant in honor of Associate Justice David J. Brewer, of the Supreme Court of the United States, who is now in London on his way to Paris to attend a meeting of the Venezuelan boundary commission. and Mr. Mallet, prevost secretary of the commission. The guests were the Earl of Halsbury, the lord high chancellor; Sir Richard Webster, attorney general; Sir Robert Findlay, solicitor general; Baron Russell, lord chief justice of England: Right Hon. Sir Richard H. Collins, one of the arbitrators on the boundary question, and G. W. Buchanan, who was appointed British agent to the Venezuelan arbitration tiibunal in 1898. Storm mill Flood. LONDON, Jan. 21.—There was a violent storm throughout England last night, accompanied by serious floods in Wales. The River Towey, in South Wales, overflowed, a bridge was destroyed and many cattle were drowned. The channel service was suspended and the continental mails have not arrived here. The Conway valley, in North Wales, is inundated and forms a great lake. The London & Northwestern Railroad at Llanudno Junction was washed away. Zola Again Saved by His Friends. PARIS, Jan. 21.—There was another sale of the furniture of Emile Zola, the author, here to-day for the purpose of defraying the 2,SCO francs cost resulting from the first sale. His friends offered to settle the matter, but the magistrate refused to allow them to do so. Ine first lot offered was a looking glass. It was bought by M. Emile Zola's publisher, M. Fasquelle, for the full amount of the claim. There was no excitement and there were only a few people present. A Sooleli Absconder. GLASGOW, Jan. 21.—Messrs. Maclntyre & Laird, partners in the law firm of Peattie, Maclntyre & Laird, announce that "A. Y. Peattie lias absconded after abstracting negotiative securities from the safe.” They add: "An investigation of the firm’s books has already discovered a deficiency of £10,00!).” A warrant was issued this afternoon for the arrest of the missing partner of the firm. The Pope YVell Again. ROME, Jan. 21.--The Pope has completely recovered his health, after his slight attack of influenza, and received in audience today a deputation of the canons of St. Jaen de Latron, witti the annual offering of two lambs, on the occasion of .the fete of St. Agnes. The wool of these lambs is used to weave the archbishop's palliums. Kitchener Is Governor General. CAIRO, Jan. 21.—A decree has been signed appointing General Kitchener governor general of the Sudan. PROF. MACDOUGAL HONORED. Made Director of Laboratories of the New York Botanic Garden. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 2t.-At the meeting of the board of managers of the New York Botanic Garden Professor D T. MacDougal, of the University of Minnesota, was elected to fill the newly created post of director of laboratories. The botanic garden occupies 250 acres of Bronx Park, which was set aside for that purpose in ISB4. The laboratory and museum building is approaching completion, being erected at a cost of half a million dollars, and the greenhouses cover several acres. The facilities offered for the study of plant life by this institution are not excelled elsewhere in Europe or America. The garden is under the control of an independent corporation, and a board of managers, of which the mayor of Greater New York and the president of Columbia University are ex officio members. Dr. MacDougal is an investigator of the first rank, and his published researches include nearly a hundred titles. He is the author of several text-books, and is a frequent contributor to the popular literary magazines. He has carried out extensive explorations in the West anil in the tropics, and his travels abroad have given him a thorough comprehension of the problems involved in the development of a great research laboratory, as well as a wide personal acquaintance among the working botanists of the world, by whom he is very highly regarded. Will Resume Business. PITTSBURG, Jan. 21.—The German National Bank, which suspended payment on Oct. 18 last, will resume business on Monday with a capital of $250,000. There is enough cash on hand to pay every dollar the bank owes ($1,300,000) and all claims will be paid on demand. On open accounts 6 per cent, interest will be paid from the date of suspension. John w. McDonald, special representative of the controller of the currency, says there Is $1,201,803 in actual cash in the

vaults and $150,000 in exchange on New York and Chicago banks which can be converted into cash within ten minutes. CLEW IN POISONING CASE. Handwriting; Experts at New York Make a Discovery. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—A piece of evidence tending to connect the murder of Mrs. Adams with the death of Henry Crossman Barnet and which at the same time may either tend to clear the person most under suspicion in the Adams case or to establish the fact that he had an accomplice, has been discovered by the police. According to an admission made by Captain McClusky today the discovery came about through an inspection of thousands of requests for samples of Kutriow powders which the police some weeks ago admitted were in their hands. It was a Kutnow powder containing cyanide of mercury that was sent to Barnet and the handwriting on the Cornish package and that of the request sent to the Kutnow people asking for a sample of the powder is the same, according to William J. Kinsley and David N. Carvalho, the handwriting experts. This request asks for a sample of the powder to be sent to a private letter box address in this city. The postmaster denies that it is a postoffice letter box and it is believed that the address was a private letter box in an uptown cigar store. It is said that the police have accepted the theory that two persons were concerned in the poison plot, and that Capt. McClusky believes that the poisoner’s accomplice wrote the letter now in possession of the experts as well as the address on the package sent to Cornish. As soon as the latest reports are made by Kinsley, Carvalho and Professor Witthaus an arrest, or possibly two arrests, will be made. Captain McClusky said to-day that when an arrest was made it would not be in Brooklyn or Newark, but in Manhattan. FERRY - BOAT IN PERIL NARROWLY' ESCAPED DESTRUCTION ' IN NIAGARA’S TORRENT. Moment* of Great Danger for Nineteen People—The Vessel Helplessly Locked in an lee Floe. BUFFALO, N.Y..Jan. 21.—Locked in a huge ice floe, the Canadia ferry boat Niagara, with nineteen persons on board was swept helplessly down the Niagara rwer to-night and dismantled by the International bridge. The boat, which plies between this city and Erie, Ont., left her dock, near the mouth of the river, in the early evening to make her last trip of the day, having on board fifteen passengers, six of whom were women, and two children. Her crew consisted of four men. The river was full of floating ice that was drifted in from Lake Erie, but the boat, heading diagonally against the current, made her way to the center of the stream. Here she became imbedded in a great field of ice and her engines were powerless to propel her. The current at this point is exceedingly swift, and the momentum of the ice field carried the ferry boat with it. The passengers, realizing their situation, were horror-stricken with fear of being carried over the falls and the more imminent danger of being dashed against a pier of the international bridge. The calls of the ferry whistle attracted attention from the shore anti fire tugs were started out a mile above to rescue the helpless craft. The passengers and crew of the Niagara put on life preservers and stood with blanched faces while the boat swept onward. River navigation being closed, the draws of the bridge are inoperative and the draw engines dead. It was evident that the upper works cf the bout co-uld not clear the span, but the great menace was the piers of solid masonry. The current favored the boat and swept her between the span, a little to the east side of the center of the river. The iron girders of the bridge raked the boat clean of her second deck, carrying away smokestack, pilot house and hurricane aecK. The passengers and crew were below deck and escaped injury from the wreckage. Swinging clear of the bridge, the Niagara broke free from the flow and drifted into a patch of clear water. A hand gear was attached to the rudder, the engines which were uninjured resumed their duty and the dismembered craft was siowiy worked to a dock on the American shore. SUFFERING AT DAWSON. Six Hospital* Full of Sick anil Many People in Need of Food. DAWSON, Dec. 22, via Seattle, Wash,, Jan. 21.—The situation here is gloomy. The number of sick is increasing and the six hospitals are full. The mounted police have donated for the help of the poor some $30,(W0 in cash from their treasury. This leaves them with but $4,000 cash on hand. Commissioner Ogilvie called a meeting to decide on ways and means for relieving the situation, and a memorial asking for aid will be sent to Washington. It' is estimated that $!>,o00 a month will be required to pay for the treatment of indigent patients. The death rate this winter nas ‘been almost as great as in the summer. Several stampedes to new fields have recently occurred, but in each case the gold seekers were disappointed. The YVlilte Pans Railway. <SAN FRANCISQp, Cal., Jan. 21.—Peter L. Harper, secretary of D. C. Frazier, the English capitalist, who is backing the White Pass & Yukon Railroad, is here on his way east. He says the railroad is now completed from Skaguay to the summit of White pass. The company is hiring all the men it can get, as it is desired to complete the road as soon as possible as far as Fort Selkirk, 32U miles from Skaguay. About 0.000 men, are now on the company’s roll, but it is hard to keep them and. stampedes to the gold fields are frequent. ALMOST BURIED ALIVE. Boy E*oapefl the Grave Only to Become Violently Insane. STURGEON BAY', Wls., Jan. 21.—Jacob Groth had a narrow escape from being buried alive in the town of Nasewaupee this week. He is a son of Charles Groth, had been ill for some time, and on the night In question had died, to all appearances. The father came to the city and telegraphed relatives of the fact, and requested them to purchase the necessary coffin. The body was prepared for burial and neighbors came to keep the night watch. Preparations for the funeral were talked over and the usual expressions of sympathy and sorrow were indulged in. Just before putting the body in the coffin, and before dressing it preparatory thereto, it was deemed advisable to wash the dead boy. While performing this act the supposed dead boy sprang from the cooling board and made an effort to escape from the house. When the boy was caught he was partly out of his head. He says he could hoar everything that was going on around him and realized the terrible predicament hr was in. It was the fear of being buried alive that caused him to try to escape w hen he came out of his trance of forty-eight hours. The boy later became violently insane, and was brought here this morning for examination and committed. Fatal Wreck on the Erie Road. SUSQUEHANNA, Pa., Jan. 21.—A bad wreck occurred at Great Bend, Pa., near here, about 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Day express train No. 8, on the Erie road, was thrown from the track by the spreading of ttie rails, and tiie locomotive and two cars went down a twenty-foot embankment. Fireman John J. Fely, of Owego, who was riding on the locomotive, was crushed to death. The engineer, Dean Welch, of Hornellsville, was riding on the baggage car, but he escaped r ‘th a scalp wound. The fireman. T.

GEN.GOMEZ INDORSED HIS ATTITUDE APPROVED BY' CUBAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. ♦ The Assembly to Be Convoked for the Purpose of Taking Action Regarding the Insnrsrent Army. LEE’S TROOPS TO BE WORKED • ♦ WILL IMPRESS NATIVES BY A SERIES OF PRACTICE MARCHES. ♦ Maj. Rnwsell Harrison in the Role of Fire Chief—Amateur Theatrical* for Benefit of Orphans. HAVANA, Jan. 21.—A meeting of the Cuban executive committee was held yesterday at El Carmen, at wh eh many representative persons and generals were present. General Cespedes sustained General Gomez in his activity in pursuing his policy of uniting the Cuban and Spanish elements in the island. He stated that it was necessary to officially convoke the assembly in order to direct the Cuban policy and that the presence and influence of General Gomez would be needed at the meeting, which would be held on the return of the plenipotentiary commission from Washington. The rime had arrived he declared, to take definite action rc-garding the question of the Cuban army and the island’s future. Senor Domingo Mendez Capote, who was recently appointed by General Brooke to the department of government in the Governor General’s cabinet of advisers, has been granted permission to retain his position under the American military administraton without resigning the presidency of the Cuban Assembly, despite the fact that a resolution had been adopted that no member should accept a position under the United States administration until the question of the Cuban army had been settled. The carriage of the Marquis of Pinar del Rio, a prominent tobacco man, yesterday ran over a man in Cerro. The driver immediately whipped up his horses and tried to escape, but the carriage was overtaken by two mounted Cuban police officers and the marquis was arrested and held in custody. The new market house at Quemados was burned last night. Major Russell Harrison, provost marshal of the Seventh Army Corps, acted as chief of the tire company. A bucket brigade was formed by a company of the First North Carolina Regiment, but despite all efforts it was found to be impossible to extinguish the flames. The Americans, however, succeeded in saving SI,OOO in cash which was in the building and a physical conflict between them and a number of Cubans was narrowly averted, the latter demanding the money and the Americans refusing to give it up to them. Major General Lee, military governor of the province of Havana, has ordered a series of practice marches for the men of his command with a view of benefiting the troops and also in giving the people in the interior of the island a sight of the United States troops, and thus bringing to them a realization of the fact of the American military occupation. These marches will begin tomorrow, when a battalion of the Fourth Illinois Regiment will start for Guinea, about forty miles southeast of Havana, camping en route at Ss n Francisco and San Jose de las Lajas. The soldiers will stay at Guines two days and will then return, reaching here by Jan. 28. A battalion of the Sixth Missouri will go on a two days’ march to San Antonia de las Banos, returning by a different route, the return march occupying three days. A battalion of the Second Louisiana is scheduled for a trip to San Antonio de las Vegas, the march each way occupying three days. One battalion of the First North Carolina Regiment will also go to San Antonio de los Banos and will return on Friday. The troops will go in heavy marching order, carrying rations. All the battalions in the corps will in turn be sent into the interior. The United States transport Obdam will sail to-morrow for Savannah with fortvtive nurses on board. A banquet was given at the Union Club this evening to Senor Perfecto Lacoste, Havana’s new mayor; Senor Federico Mora, the recently appointed civil governor, and Gen. Marco Menocal, chief of police of Havana. There was a brilliant amateur performance last night for the benefit of the orphans of the island. Members of distinguished famiUps took part in the play, and the audience, which filled the house, was composed of members of the best society in Havana. Major General Brooke and his chief of staff, General Chaffee, who were present in full uniform, and Captain Sigsbee, of the United States battle ship Texas, and many other American officers were present. The orchestra played "The Star-spangled Banner,” and the audience, following General Brooke’s example, arose. General Sanger, the Governor of Matanzas, has liberated thirty-five prisoners from the jail there after an examination which satisfied him that they were being unjustly held in captivity. A battalion of the First Maine Regiment, which arrived here yesterday on board the United States transport Obdam from Savannah, proceeded to camp to-day. Reports from Pinar del Rio are excellent on the coming tobacco crop, both in quality and quantity. The harvest is beginning. Capt. Hickey, General Brooke's first aid, has concluded a detailed, inquiry into the conditions prevailing at Matanzas and Cardenas and made his report, fie says that the Twelfth New r York and Eighth Massachusetts Regiments, a signal company and a battalion of the. Third Engineers have an excellent camp at Matanzas; that the commanders are satisfied with the conditions, and that they are in splendid health. The Spanish barracks, however, are in such a filthy condition as to seem almost useless to the United States troops, though it is possible a complete renovation will make them habitable. All the other camp conditions are good. The tents are provided with board floors. The inspector general, chief surgeon and chief engineer officer of Wilson’s staff. Capt. Hickey reports, are visiting various towns in the Matanzas province, examining into the reported destitution and seeking points suitable for military occupation. General Wilson is furnishing daily supplies of beef to thirty hospitals, which have for a year been almost entirely without meat. Twelve sugar estates in Matanzas province have resumed operations. Complaint is made that the wages of the employes is much less than before the war. The laborers refuse to accept any reduction, demanding dollar a day in silver. The municipal debt of Matanzas amounts to SIO,OOO and means are being made to liquidate it. It is estimated that there are 15,000 destitute persons in the province. Those who desire to return to agricultural labor find it impossible to obtain oxen and tools. General Pedro Betancourt, with a force of 200 Cubans. is encamped near the city. He has his troops under perfect control and is discharging his met', as fast as they find employment. General Betancourt, who is highly respected and a man of influence in the community, is aiding the American authorities as much as possible. No disturbances are reported. At Cardenas, says Captain Hickey, a company of the Eighth Tnfantry is fairly and comfortably quartered In the custom house, and there is no sickness among its members. Th condition of the Spanish barracks there Is similar to that of the Matanzas barracks. The merchants of the cit> are gathering the homeless children and are having them fed and taught. The large deposit of rations left by the steamer Comal in December are being issued regularly, but there is great destitution among the people of the .better class, who are unsued to manual labor and are too proud to beg. The military authorities are unable to furnish employment to the Cubans. The railroad employes have gone on strike because of the failure of the company to keep its promise to increase their pay after the war. Freight trains are not being run, though mail and passenger trains are still being moved along the line. The people are in sympathy with the strikers. Captain Hickey has gone to Sant." Clara to make a similar examination there and report upon the conditions in that province. It is announced that Mr. Proctor and family are expected to reach Havana about the

end of January, and that United States Secretary of War Alger will arrive the latter part of February. A Transport for the Ueail. SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan. 21.—Word was received by Colonel Bellinger yesterday that the transport Roumania would not come back to Savannah from her present trip to Matanzas. Instead she is to go to New York. Thero she will be equipped as a transport for the dead. Taking with her a large force of undertakers and helpers and a large supply of coffins and other supplies for that purpose, the Roumania will go to Santiago. There the bodies of the American soldiers who died from fever or who fell in the battles that preceded the capitulation of the city will be disinterred and prepared for removal on the transport to this country'. The Roumania, it is understood, will go to New York from Santiago, the bodies being distributed from there to the relatives and friends throughout the country. "Wood Sails for Havana. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Gen. Leonard Wood sailed for Havana this afternoon on the Ward liner Concho. He was accompanied by his aid, Lieutenant Hanna, Assistant Attorney' General Hoyt and Miss Smith, a relative. MRS. MOORE IN COURT. A Judge Grants the Alleged Adventuress a Writ of Habeas Corpus. NEW YORK. Jan. 21.—Justice Bookstaver. in the Supreme Court to-day granted a writ of habeas corpus for the production of Mrs. Payne Strahan Moore, who is in the Tombs awaiting her second trial for alleged complicity with her husband in “badgering” Martin Mahon. The writ inquires into the refusal, if any, to accept the offer of J. N. Campbell to go as surety. District Attorney Gardiner yesterday intimated that he would not accept Campbell's bond, and counsel for Mrs. Moore, thinking that the district attorney might refuse to accept the surety, brought the certiorari proceedings. Mrs. Moore was brought into court, but the arguing of the writ was postponed until Monday and Mrs. Moore was taken back to the Tombs. JUDGE TAVENER DEFIED ♦ BALLOTS REMOVED IX DIRECT VIOLATIOX OE A COURT ORDER. ■ ♦ l'hnme of the West Virginia Senatorial Contest That Has Caused a Sensa-tion-More Retaliation. * CHARLESTON, W. Va.. Jan. 21.-A big sensation was created in political circles tonight when it became known that the ballots cast in Wood county at the last election had been brought to Charleston Ly County Clerk Stewart and turned over to the Senate investigating committee. It is said that the ballots were removed in direct violation of an order issued by Judge Tavener, of Wood county. The ballots will be used in the contest over Kidd’s seat. Kidd (Democrat), had on the face of the returns 100 majority. The Senate committee on privileges and elections to-day' decided that Senators Getzendanner, of Jefferson, and Pierson, of Clay', were entitled to retain their seats. Pierson and Getzendanner are hold-over Senators. Last fall they accepted commissions in the Second West Virginia Regiment and the Democrats claimed that by doing so they forfeited their right to their seats. The Senate will coniirm the committee report. The resolution introduced to-day declaring vacant the seat of Senator Marcum, Democrat, from Cabell, in favor of Collins, his Republican opponent, is causing much agitation among the advocates ol' retaliation. Its consideration Monday may start the “programme of retaliation.” It is now stated that the Republicans intend to maintain their original majority on joint ballot as shown by the rolls as prepared by the Secretary of State instead of letting the present standing remain. Since the House has unseated two Republicans, the Republican majority on joint ballot is only one and with an epidemic of grip, some one or more is daily absent on account of sickness. The Californio. In vest! nation. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 21.—But one vote was taken for United States senator to-day. It resulted practically the same as that of yesterday, all sides standing firm, but the vote of the principal candidates being lessened on account of the absence of several members of the Assembly. Alden Anderson was the first witness before the investigating committee to-day. He stated that when Attorney Benjamin, Grant’s agent, had offered the witness money with which to make his fight, he believed that it was the implied understanding that the witness was to vote for U. S. Grant, jr., for the United States Senate. C. E. Washburn testified that an assemblyman had told him that $3,tXK> had been offered the member to give Bulla his second choice vote. The offer had been made by Janies Copeland. Assemblyman Clough testified that Daniel Cole had written him after his nomination that if he was a friend of U. S. Grant he could have all the money he required to make his canvass. The letter in question went on to state that fully 50 per cent, of the members were pledged to Grant and that he would probably be elected. The Pennsylvania Deadlock. HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 21.—The vote In the joint assembly to-day for United States senator w T as: Quay, 55; Jenks, 41; Dalzell, 12; Irvin, 3; Stewart, 3; C. W. Stone, 5; Tubbs, 3; Grow, 1; Markle, 1.

Spaniards are more consistent in their inherited Orientalism than we are in ours. A good instance of the typical Spanish way of looking at deadly disease was recently made public in Havana. In a single room which was let on one of the main streets, nine men died one after the other of yellow fever. Then the owner stopped renting it. It began to look to him as If the displeasure of heaven rested on that chamber of death. There was something uncanny about it, and perhaps he had better take it as a sign not to persevere in seeking tenants. He might die of the fever himself next, to bring him to his senses. He would be warned in time. It never occurred to him that there was any direct connection between Infected bedding and w'alls ar.d the series of deaths. Undoubtedly It is in this mental attitude of the Inhabitants of Havana that General , Ludlow will find his greatest obstacle

If the people think the rules of the health board are ail humbug, if not positively wicked, it will be difficult to make them obey. The temptation to have a little private heap of filth, or to retain a concealed cesspool as a kind of family heirioom, will he strong. In Oindurmun, it appears, the British officers went about their work of cleansing with revolvers in their hands—whether to shoot violators of the health ordinances, or to make the scavengers do their work thoroughly, does not appear. General Ludlow cannot do this, nor cap he get Baggaras to clean Havana. But if he is given the power and the money he can certainly work such a transformation in Havana as the British have made in Kingston; and he may know, for the gratification of his professional pride, that he that reduceth the death rate by 50 per cent. Is greater than he that taketh a city.
