There is something really praise
worthy in the manner i'm which Span
iards make capital out Of the famous
Carolines incident, Diplomaiists have
had their full share in IL, pubic house,
keepers, under whose hospitable roofs
countless political meetings Of all pos
sible and impossible parties were held;
newspapers, filling their columns with
long reports of the said meetings
they all and many others have prohted
by IL. Now. lastly, the members Of the
theatrical profession are having their
turn, for since the new piece, LAS
CarOlinas,n - has been played at the
Madrid Variedades Theater the public
crowds TO every performance In order
TO view the question from a new point
of view. The plot OF the piece Is this:
Two little girls, Hispania and Ger
mania by name, are furiously quarrel
ing over the possession Of some dolls,
and neither party can be appeased un-
til some one happily suggests that papa
which stands for both father and
pope" in Spanish should solve the
difficulty'Of the ownership Of the dolls.
Papa's verdict is that the dolls belong
by rights to Hispania, but that Ger
mania should be allowed to play with
them. II would seem that the play
wright had a better conception Of the
true Importance Of the question which
troubled King Alfonso's last days than
most Of the Spanish and German poll
ticians concerned in it.-PdH Nall Ga.

Pixies FOR THE METIs.

Another Uprising in the Northwest Threat
ened i'm Certain COntengencies--The Irish
Thorn That Pricks England All Around.
MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, Jan. 28.-The
local papers are filed with the details of
an alleged plan to arm the Northwest In
dians for a second uprising in case Of
coercion in Ireland. The weapons to be
given them are Irish pixies and a large
number of them are being manufactured
here for distribution through the North
west Territories.
An Irishman found with one of these
weapons this morning, said:
These pixies are made as an experiment,
and in certain events they are to be used
in arming the Metis. If the English at
tempt to use coercion in Ireland the next
uprising in the Northwest will be by men
well armed with these pixies. While
Irishmen feel very kindly toward the
Canadian Government, that portion
known as the irreconcilables would give
considerable trouble because of their
sympathy for the Metis and partly because
Canada is an English dominion, and
armed with pixies, Middleton and his sol
diers wiz 9nd in the Northwest forces
foemen worthy of their steel.'

The situation In the Coke Region.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 2s.-Reports re-
ceived to-day from every point in the
coke region indicate that all is quiet.
Pool operators are making no attempt to
start up their works, and appear TO be
satisfied with the state of affairs. Furnace
operators will suffer most, as they will be
compelled to bank their furnaces If the
strike is not settled in a few days. The
Charlotte Furnace Company, at Scott
dale, the only furnace so far that has en-
deavored to settle the difficulty, will also
bank their fires, throwing several hundred
ore miners out of employment.

When Gladstone entered the House
Of Commons on the evening of the
9Th inst. the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed among the Liberals and Par
neltes, and no such scene was ever
Witnessed before In the Commons.
As soon as the cheering had ceased
Gladstone rose and moved for per-
mission to introduce bill to amend
previous legislation and to make pro-
visions for the future government Of
Ireland. On making this motion
Gladstone said that the time had ar
rived when both honor and duty re-
quired Parliament to come to decis-

was greeted with prolonged cheers.
as soon as quiet was restored Glad
s0ne entered upon brief review of

LOT Ireland. He dwelt upon the coer-
GIVE and regressive measures which
lad been put in force from time to
Auie' and deprecated any further re-

asked what he thought of the threats
made against the Wabash railroad
system in the event of his obtaining con.
troll OF it at the sale tomorrow. He re-
piled: The Wabash employs hardly any
Knights OF Labor. A reorganization was
made after the August strike in regard to
labor employed. The Wabash will be sold
tomorrow under foreclosure and it will be
bought in by the b~ondholders. A majority
of them are in Scotland and England and

A NUISANCE ENDS IN WAR.
The Old erik Building Finally Located
on East Park Street.

The old building which has been moved
from Upper Main street, next to Goldsmith
& Co.'S, was sold to Tommy Rogan,
and has been slowly and much to the detri-
ment OF piety in the community. been wend-
ing it's way to a resting place on East Park
street. 1t has finally become a subject of
animated warfare between Rogan and
Messrs. cDonald 4 Richfeld. The smitbv
OF the latter is located on the south side Of
East Park street, just west OF Wyoming,
and il. front OF it there ia a vacant space
which was recently leased by Mr.. Rogan,
and on which he proposed to place his new
purchase-the floating store.
1t seems that the building is about forty
feet longer than the strip of ground leased
by Rogan. The b~lacksmiths offered no OBJ
position toward placing the structure on
its new site until it occupied a place i'm
dispute, when they appealed to
the law. Rogan avoided a service
OF the official papers on Saturday, and yes
terday they did not serve them, so yester.
day Sunday the building was hurriedly
started towards it's future foundation.
The blacksmiths then started a bonfire in
front OF the incoming building, whereupon
Mr.. Rogan jailed out his hose cart and ex-
tinguished the fire. The blacksmiths then
opposed any further advance by placing a
cutter in the way and armed with revoI.
vers firmly resolved that the building
should come no further. Mr.. Rogan then
resorted to a like weapon, cleaned the field
and successfully deposited the building on
