GETTING ANXIOUS. icat Telrgnphi to Admiral Pointers on the Urat^stkw this Cause of the Destruction of the end lu Probable Duration, end to Receive Any Light. I0TO5, March 5.—It was dayesterday afternoon through correspondence between Long and Admiral Sicard the court of inquiry is unable | fix even an approximate date for the ion of its investigation into the to the Maine. [Sharing the general anxiety for some ition on this point. Secretary yesterday, at the instance of the let, sent a telegram to Admiral tasking him when it was probaf that the report would be made, and Ite last night the following reply was ived: KxT West, Fla, Marr-h 4. iOf the .Vary.|Have talked with the president of the court Inquiry and agree with him that lc in not . possible to fix a date for the finding, as so t depends upon the progress of the dirers wreckers and the results they obtain 1 effort is being made to advance the inThe court returns to Havana by the live this evening: having about finished i investigation at Key West. Sicahd. Q Admiral Sicard's message is regarded »ally as disposing of the reports that teeourt has as yet obtained positive or inclusive information bearing upon object of their investigation. It is ten to mean’ that upon the testi>ny or discoveries of the divers will spend the finding, the examination of le officers and crew of the ship havbeen insufficient to enable the to even form an idea as to what [nes may be opened up from the intigation of the wreck itself. While the telegram was somewhat a disappointment in leaving the lination of the inquiry as much in »ubt as ever, it was welcomed as pracilly setting at rest the reports as to le results of the investigation up to tie. It is stated that the board in all ibability will not return to Key Vest,, the department having intithat it was its desire that the lination of the officers and fbcu Id be concluded at this sitting as iey are needed for reassignment to tins.

PtiiLADKi.riu A\ March. 5.—Emilio fnnez. who has just returned to his tome in this, city from his recent trip o Cuba on the filibustering steamer dauntless, was to-day shown the Washington dispatch which stated hat Senor Dubose, the Spanish charge 'affaires had informed the state de•rtnient that the Dauntless expediion was not successful and had failed o effect a landing. Mr. Nunez shrugged his shoulders aid remarked that it is just as well hat the Spanish authorities shall have hat opinion regarding the Dauntless xpeditiou. but. evidently becoming Mire interested in the topic, he oonintaed: “My last expedition put into Cuba 00.000 bullets, located at the end of 00,000 good Mauser cartridges, and reryone of these bullets are now beBg used to let daylight into the Spaniards who think as Senor Dubose hinges. If Senor Dubose knows us ouch about ray recent expedition as he Spanish authorities in Havana lnow about the destruction of the taine. and if Senor Dubose ns of the amc stripe as the authorities in 11aana—he is a 'liar.'’ Mr. Nunez expressed the opinion that he battleship Maine was destroyed kbjr Spanish officials, with their knowldge and by their hands."

PrrrsBUBOHt Pa.. March 7.—One of the most exciting* fires the Pittsburgh department has ever been ealled' upon to fight occurred at No. 614 Webster avenue, yesterday, when one woman was suffocated and five other persons so badly burned that three may die. Three families were penned in a ramshackle building, the stairs to which were eaten away by flames while they slept. Here was the result of 15 minutes' captivity: Dead. Mrs. Dominic Enriello, aged 30, wife, of Dominic Enriello, fruit huckster,, was separated from her husband in, the smoke and suffocated while trying to raise a window; died in the patrol wagon. Injured. Harry Levin, aged 16, burned about face, arms and shoulders; injuries possibly fatal. Lillian Levin, aged 6, burned about hands, feet and face; condition serious. Max Verlinski, aged 22, burned about legs and head and fatally injured internally. Jessie Verlinski, aged 22. his wife; burned about the neck, face and feet; injuries serious. Ethel Yelinski. eighrmonths. burned about face, neck and body; will probably die. ' Elizabeth Levin, aged 18. ankle broken by jumping from second-story window; also hurt internally. Eita Levin, aged, three years; thrown from second-story window; badly bruised. The building at No. 614 Webster avenue is a three-story brick tenement, old and sJihky. On the first flooj* and in the rear of the second floor lived Samuel Levin with his wife and seven children. On the second floor front lived Dominie Enrielle with his wife. On the third floor lived Max Verlinski with his wife and eight-months-old baby. The fire started in Levin's diningroom in the re'ar of the first floor. It burned through the door and up the stairway, and in a very short time the entire building was in flames. Only lightning-like work of the' rescuing firemen prevented a tenement-house horror.

THROUGH THE HEART, The n«fmi Street K«ttlr In T«»»kmi» Ark,, that Jl»* Orcnrrwl in Many Year Texarkana. Ark.. March 7. —The fiercest street battle ewer witnessed in Texarkana occurred yesterday afternoon. Five men were engaged in th*‘ desperate fight, one of whom was killed outright, another mortally wounded, the third seriously injured, while the other two are in hiding and the extent of their wounds is not known. The casualties arc: Vinson Graviuuo. dead; shot through the heart. S. Graviano. mortally wounded; shot through the breast, shoulder, arms and leg. - » Pete Darrigo, seriously wounded in the groin and leg. The tragedy occurred in that portion of the city known as Swampobdle, and all of the participants were Italian barbers. A. Gingotta and his son-in-law. Mike Cannela. were disputing in front ol Antonio Columbus' saloon and were about to come to , blows, when the tiraviano brothers came up and attempted to stop the argument. Gingotta and Cannela then turned upon the Gravianos. and. both sides drawing revolvers, the battle was soon in progress. More than 30 shots were fifed during the melee. The man who was killed began shooting as he approached Gingotta. who floored him with a blow from his pistol and fired the fatal shot into his lnydy. Cannela fired more than a dozen bullets at S. Gravianno. half of which took effect. Gingotta and t anuela fled and are still at large.

CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT, Government Crop Service Reports Are Gen* ernlly Favorable—Plant Small In Place* as Result of Drought, but Vigorous and Well Rooted—Some Damage In Missouri and Illinois. Washington. March 3.—The following special reports indicate the general condition of winter wheat at the close of the month of February in the principal winter wheat states. These statements are based upon reports from (dimate and crop service correspondents, collected at state section centers of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau. These reports indicate that the crop has come through the winter thus far in very favorable condition, the reports from northern California, Kansas and Nebraska being exeptionally flattering. In the states of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, owing to the prevalence of drought during the autumn, seeding was generally delayed, and the plant is reported as small and thin, though generally well rooted and vigorous. The crop has been winterkilled to some extent in the southern portions of Illinois and Missouri, and j some injury has been done by fly in Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Mary* I land. On the whole, the weather conj ditions of the winter thus far have been j very favorable to winter wheat. ILLINOIS. Chicago—There are conflicting reports, but ! prevailing opinions indicate that the small j amount of wheat sown in the northern district is in good condition and well protected. The central district has a small acreage generally, with fair to poor condition along the north and throughout the eastern counties, but f^ir to j condition in central, southern and western counj ties. TUe southern district reports small plant, 1 somewhat damaged by freezing and thawing, wirh best prospect in north and west counties, ■ Seeding everywhere was late and the plant is I small, but the winter has been generally favor j able. INDIANA. Indianapolis—Wheat seeding was delayed hy j unfavorable weather and soil conditions in the j fall, aad at the beginning of winter the plant of ; *was only small. In general wheat wintered | fairly well, and freezing and thawing did but | little damage, especially in the northern por- [ Won, wnere snow covered the fields nearly all i winter. At :he end of February wheat in most I fields looked small, hut green, vigorous and • healthy, and it is well rooted. In some fields. especially in the central portion, the top has ! been frosted, but the roots are sound and in ; cool condition. v IOWA. Des Moines—The acreage of winter wheat has | been materially reduced by the severe drought : of the fall and failure to germinate. But the | wint,ry conditions have been unusually favora- ! ble. and wherever a fair stand was secured the i plant is vigorous and very promising. Owing | to the almost continuous covering of snow the soil has not been deeply frozen.

Topeka—West of meridian 96degress. 30minutes. the general condition of the wheat is the best (for this time of year) in ten years. East of this line but little wheat is grown save on river bottoms, and its condition is good except that it is backward in Wilson county, and has poor prospect in Labette county. In the counties of the middie division, the great wheat belt, it is in tine eond ition. the early-sown having even stand and a strong plant. The latetown is coming well forward, giving fine promise. Much was sown in the western division. The ea^ly-sown is in fine condition, and the late is sprouting well, KENTUCKY. Louisville—The wheat crop is in fine condition generally. Seeding was quite late on account of the severe drought in the fall, and, in some fields, groa-th is small, but the plant has a good color and looks thrifty. Its good condition is due to the mild winter, for it had a poot start, and there has been little snow to protect it. The freeze early in February colored some ! fields, but killed little. There is scarcely any fly. Prospects are bright. I MISSOURI. Columbia—In a few central and southern counties wheat is reported winter-killed to some extent, but in general the crop has come through the winter so far in good condition. In i northern sections the ground has been well covered with snow the greater part of the time. The plant is generally smail and thin on the | ground, however, owing io protracted drought last fall, and mu3h will depend upon the weather during March. NEBRASKA. Lincoln—The fall and winter were exceptionally favorably for fall-sown grain. Wheat made good grow th in the fall and entered the winter with a vigorous plant. The ground froze up moist and a heavy snowfall followed, which, in the absence of high winds, drifted but little, and protected the Wheat well. Present appeari ances indicate that little wheat has been winI terkil'led. and the crop is everywhere in excel- : lent condition, probably the best for mans years. TENNESSEE. XashTille -The area much larger than Iasi year. Owing to fail drought oaly about half was sown early. This, generally, is much better than later seeding, and especially where drilled and fertilized. The mild winter has j favored growth, and. as a rule, good stands, | weli-rooted and stooiing well, are reported. In ! a few of the central counties slight damage by : fly is reported. Altogether a better condition ; at th-* close of February than for several years I it indicated.

THE CHAIN OF MONOPOLY. Productive Gneirlea of tbe Country Hampered by Capitalists. Arrangements were perfected In St. Louis a few. days ago whereby the interests represented by J. PierpontMorgan are to get control of the Kansas Pacific railroad. Of course, this latest acquisition will be merged into the gigantic transportation monopoly being formed swiftly and audaciously by Morgan. The Vanderbilts are furnishing the main part of the capital for the huge enterprise, which the genius of Morgan is vitalizing. Whether or not the acquisition of the Kansas Pacific by the Morgan crowd will be of benefit to the producers of the country is questionable. Under the modern industrial system, production is so dependent* upon distribution for profit that the strengthening of the latter factor of wealth-making is fraught with danger. If monopoly of production is not desirable—and all the theory of our legislation is based upon this assumption—then monopoly of distribution is equally undesirable. Monopolization of distribution is much easier of accomplishment thz^n monopolization of production; and yet the I strange/'spectacle is presented of cf- I forts to prevent by legislation combinations between the forces of production, with little or no attention being paid to such a powerful combina- I tion as the business genius of Morgan is now forming with the aid of the almost unlimited capital of the Vanderbilts and their foreign a*ociates. The administration at Washington had power to check, if not permanently arrest, Morgan’s transportation monopoly scheme. Without the Union Pacific as a feeder to their system between the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic seaboard, the Morgan crowd could, not so easily have carried out their tremendous scheme of monopoly. For thur reason the democratic press of tim country, led by the Republic, earnestly^ advised against the main branch of the Union Pacific being sold to the Morgan people, even if by selling it to other interests the government should have lost on its investment in that property. But the administration was pledged to Morgan’s Scheme by an ante-election deal, and the road was delivered over to him. The purchase of thq^Kansas Pacific will complete the deal and nt the same time add strength to the railroad i monopoly.

ine productive energies oi me country will not feel the burdens of the monopoly at first. The men in control of it are too shrewd to display either their power or intention until they are j more thoroughly fortified by legislation. To this feature they may be expected to devote their attention for the next few years. It, therefore, behooves ; the people to make careful investigation into the character and affiliations of the men they send to congress for the next few years.—St. Louis Repubic. PATRIOT MARK HANNA. Comes to the Fr«nt la the Maine Incident. It is gratifying to learn from Sen- ; iitor Hanna that the destruction of the battle ship Maine was “purely accidental." __ As Hanna has at last broken hjs silence on this important matter and has relieved the Spanish of all suspicion of treachery, the court of inquiry appointed by the administration should at once cease its labors. What is the use of having a court of inquiry when Hanna kndws all the facts and has pronounced his verdict? Of course Hanna, having discovered that the explosion which wrecked the Maine was “purely accidental,” is fully justified in announcing to the anxious nation the further fact that “there will ! be no war.” “Conservative” newspapers and the | “best business interests” of the United States are rejoicing over the words of wisdom spoken by their venerated and immaculate chief. Hanna is quite willing that the American flag shall go ! down in dishonor; he is quite satisfied to have the battle ship Maine go down i in fiames and wreck; he is quite content that 250 brave sailors, defenders of this nation, should go down to death— provided stocks do not go down in Wall street. « — All— nnrtr

as the creator of McKinley, as the great statesman from Ohio, Mark Hanna has spoken. Some wise and patriotic expression of sentiment has been expected of Hanna. II is position demands that he shall speak for the republican party. He has risen to - the occasion, and he has not disappointed the expectations of those who know him. In the meantime, two facts remain undoubtedly true: The destruction of the Maine is a great disaster to this couhtry—so is the dictatorship of Mark Hanna.—Chicago Dispatch. •_ -No public-spirited, patriotic citizen can view the studied refusal of congress to make any adequate appropriation for the national defense without a keen feeling of impatience and indignation bordering on disgust. Since the present administration came into power the trouble seems to be that everything must be subordinated to Dingleyism. | The enactment of a tariff law was the fij-st concern of Mr. McKinley and the republican' party—the more important and pressing need of financial reform being relegated to the background— i and since its enactment there has been a disposition, or, rather, a determination. to sacrifice everything else to give it the appearance of success.—N. Y. Herald. --in discussing Secretary Cage’s financial plan to further enrich the multi-millionaires. Champ Clark says it*s a waste of lard to grease a fat hog. But what’s to be done so long as the hog has his snout in the lard bucket and Insists upon personally attending to the greasing process? — St. Louis Republic.

THE PROTECTION FARCE* OtBffleylra Does Koihlng (or tike (VorklBgma&. The Philadelphia Inquirer is a protectionist paper that does not like the look of things just now. We rather fancy that the Dingley bill isn’t showing up to suit it. The current brand of protection is away below the top botch* in its opinion, for it remarks: **We are on a protective basis, but protection to manufacturers cannot be defended— is indeed a farce—unless there is the same protection to laborers. The great object of protection, more Important than revenue, is to build up mills and create new enterprises for the purpose of giving employment to our workingmen and paying them respectable wages." j It is unnecessary to say that the Dingley bill is short of protection for laborers. The way the knife has been jabbed into wages since that bill became a law is simply awful. There was a time, however, when a protectionist paper wouldn’t think of saying such things as the Inquirer says here. Then, protection was all-pervading: the manufacturer couldn’t keep it to himself; he had to share it With his employes. But after the protectionists were found out, a change came over the spirit of the orgnniedream. Now, labor must be protected, they say; meaning, of course, that Dingley forgot to protect labor. No matter where you turn these days you find the Dingjey bill colliding with something that .hurts it. Here is the Philadelphia Inquirer, a leading protectionist paper, practically characterizing that bill as a “farce.” This latest experiment with the principle of republican protection bids fair to leave that principle without a leg under it. It was set going with a great flourish of trumpets, an extraordinary session of congress being called in order that there might be no delay in putting it in operation. As the effect of it. or in spite of it. the awful deficit has been gaining ground and is still growing, and wages have been cut to the bone in various industries. No wonder protectionist organs are speculating in theories and offering suggestions as to what should be done to lift the “farce” of republican protection to the grade, at least, of a comedy that makes some pretensions to seriousness and sense! — Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.

WHAT IS THE MONEY POWER? All Interests of the People Writ Lpon Syndicate Greed. We have had occasion in another article to refer to the exposure by the Review of Reviews of the bogus autonomy offered the Cubans by the Spaniards. In the same number of that able periodical we find a recognition of the force and influence of the money power. The Constitution has explaintnl on many occasions what the money power is, but there are, no doubt, manj- persons who regard the phrase askance, and take it for granted that it is merely a convenient term with which to round out a sentence or a paragraph on the money question. But the money power is a very real thing, and is very rapidly assuming control of the governments of the earth. The Review of Reviews describes this powerful combination as “the great bankers who are neither English, French nor German in their real allegiance, but must be regarded as a law unto themselves and a separate power, gradually but steadily strengthening their grip upon the destiny of nations.” The Review of Reviews calls attention to the fact that it is this huge, mysterious money power that plays the nations against each other like pawns on a chess board; that enables one or the other of these nations to place Japanese or Chinese loans; that decided the issues of the recent Turko-Greek war, gaining a better hold on the revenues both of Turkey and Greece, and clearing millions of profit out of the hideous conflict between Moslem and Christian; that caused the slaughter of the Armenians to go on undisturbed; and that has constantly shown its hand in the affairs-of Spain and Cuba. Its influence has been in the attitude of both Cleveland and McKinley toward the Cuban patriots, an attitude "of real enmity in spite of the fact that the people of this country are all but unanimous in favor of Cuban independence. The people are forgotten and even the interests of party are risked by the republican leaders, so keen are they to do the bidding of the money power. And it is this money power which the people of this country will have to vanquish at the polls or lose their own liberties.—Atlanta Constitution.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. -Bimetallists must get together or the gold monometalists will have things aU their own way.—Chicago ^Chronicle. --Hanna has changed his policy since his election. He absolutely refuses to give anything away now.— Chicago Dispatch. -The trouble with the republican party everywhere is the' boss system, buttressed on the spoils system. So long as these systems shall endure it will pass the wit of man to “fix up some harmony” which will stay fixed.— Philadelphia Record. -Secretary Gage appears to b« doing the administration’s currency orating, but brave old Nelse Dingley still does the tariff prevaricating and does it pretty well, considering. It takes a heart of oak to go on daily contradicting the official deficit figures of the treasury.—Kansas City Times. -The republican party is uneasy under its burdeaof bossism, and almost any day now one can see it tug and strain in the effort to free itself. In New York, in Pennsylvania and in other states at this time we have the spectacle of the republican Sindbad trying with all his force to shake off the old man of the sea, whose tightening grip on his neck is becoming unbearable.—Binghamton (X.
