WASHINGTON, May THE following
statement in regard to the Tangier affair
is issued by the Department of State
1t is not true that there has been any
refusal by the Sultan Of Morocco to ar.
bitrate. He proposed to Mr.. Lewis
some weeks ago to send special agent
TO Tangier to discuss with Mr.. Lewis
the matter of difference, all questions
upon which they could not agree to be
referred to some third person. With the
approval OF the State Department, Mr..
Lewis agreed to this and alter some dis
cussion us to details complete under
standing was reached. The meetings
were to begin on Saturday last. The
presence Of the Quinnebang at Tangier
was casual and had nothing to do with
the discussion between Mr.. Lewis and
the authorities. The Quinnebang is on
a regular cruise.

In Regard to BoycottinE in ireland De-
nounced Mt Hundreds OF Meetings.
LONDON, May THE edict OF the
Pope against the Plan OF Campaign and
boycotting was handled without gloves
by the speakers at hundreds OF meetings
OF the National League held throughout
Ireland yesterday. There is no longer
any doubt as to the attitude the people
OF Ireland will assume in relation to the
Vatican's interference between tenant
and landlord and the methods employed
to accomplish certain objects concerning
which it would seem an impertinence
on the part OF any authority other than
that Of the British Government to pre-
scribe limitation or prohibition.
During the greater part OF last week
much speculation was INDUCED in, even
by persons directly connected with the
plan OF campaign, as to the spirit in
which the papal rescript would be re-
ceived by the people us whole, most
Of them believing, hat the decree would
fall fiat, but not until yesterday did it
become absolutely certain that the re-
ligious and political opinions OF the
peasant population OF Ireland was en-
tirely separate, distinct and clearly de
fined.
Some OF the speeches delivered at the
meetings violently arraigned the Yati-
can for what the speakers chose to call
its presumption in attempting to use the
power OF the church to coerce Irishmen
into remuneration OF their patriotism in
order that the Holy See might improve
its chances OF securing the doubt
full advantage OF resumption
Of its diplomatic relations with
the Court OF st. James, and
many OF the orators declared that Mgr.
Persico might find another visit to Ire
land very unpleasant undertaking. A
large number Of League branches have
appointed meetings to be held during
the week, and it is expected that By
next Sunday the full sentiment OF the
Home Rule element with regard to the
Pope's action will have been expressed
throughout Ireland.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May THE tube
workers. wages, which have been the
subject of considerable agitation for sew
eral months past, are now practically
settled. The Pittsburgh Tube Works,
which have been idle for the past four
months, resumed operations to-day in
the socket, thread and butt weld depart
ments, giving employment to $50 men.
The employees agreed to accept reduc-
ton OF 5 per cent in wages. A similar
reduction in wages at the Pennsylvania
Tube Works may follow, although the
matter was submitted to arbitration q
few months ago and decided in favor OF
the employees.
The Edgar Thomson steel works pre-
sented a busy scene to-day, and there
was no indication that a big strike had
been but recently settled. The works
were started on double turn, and every.
thing was running smoothly. The bosses
stated that they had all the men they
needed, and that others were offering
their services. The Pinkerton guards
have been withdrawn and will go home
tonight, the regular coal andiron police
force relieving them.

partment as to the proper tariff classifi.
cation OF certain "beansticks" and
"hoursticks" imported by Chinese resi-
dents.
These articles are made OF flour and
beans in the form Of sticks, and are used
in making soap. The importer holds
that they are exempt from duty by as.
similation to ma1carsni and vermicelli,
which are included in the free list,
Secretary Fairchild, however, has decid.

sticks are dutiable at the rate of twenty
per cent ad valorem as non-enumerated
manufactures, and the bean sticks at the

it is claimed that considerable new evil

1t is asserted that the Government has
evidence that on the night of the girls

McQuade's liquor store in Webster, the

BLAINE AND CONELISG.
A Sensational Story About How :. Reconcile
alton Was Averted.

1
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May THE AHrT-
iean tomorrow will publish an interview
with A. NJ. Hughes, Jr., Chairman Of
the Republican State Executive Com.
mittee, regarding the failure Of Roscoe
Conkling to actively support James
G. Blaine in the last Presidential can
vass. Mr.. Hughes gives the facts
never before made public. In brief Mr..
Hughes said that soon after Mr.. Blaine
was nominated Senator Chafee, the
father-in.law Of U. S. Grant, jr., and one
Of the foremost Republicans in the west,
realizing the importance OF securing the
assistance of Mr.. Conkling for Nh. Blaine
in New York came east and went to New
York for that especial purpose that
Senator ChatEee as the result OF pro-
longed and earnest conference with
Mr.. Conkling secured from him
the promise that il Mr.. Blaine would
write him u personal letter requesting
his assistance; that he (Mr. Conkling)
would reply in an open letter with
pledge to actively support him in
the canvass; that Senator Chatiee
was enthused at this success with Mr.
EGonkling. got on the tirst train which
left New York after this pledge was
given by him and went to see Mr..
Blaine at his home in Maine. The sit
uation was explained and Mr.. Blaine
promptly wrote the desired letter to MIR.
Conkling.
This letter was given to Walker Blaine
to be carried in person to Mr.. Conkling
as q delicate compliment, and Senator
Chadee, rejoicing that his mis-
sion was done, disappeared from
the scene. He anxiously awaited the
publication OF the response from Conk-
ling, but it never came. Investigation
proved that Walker Blaine indeed car
ried the letter to New York, but on his
way to Mr.. Conkling's house stopped

ters. Mentioning the purpose OF
his presence in New York toI
Steve Elkins, B. F. Jores, Chairman OF
the Republican National Committee,
and one or two other managers decided
that it was best to ignore Conkling, and
that the letter must not reach him. Ac-
cordingly it was suppressed and the
wOrld'knows the rest.
The animosity of Mr.. Conkling was
intensified at the additional affront and
Blaine lost New York. Mr.. Hughes was
positive that these statements were cor
rect, orthey came directly from one ofthe
gentlemen who suppressed the letter.
This man revealed the circumstances
after the death of Mr.. Conkling, and
when it was not thought that Mr.. Blaine
would go before the next convention.

The Success of DR.. Fox's Wonderful Opera,
tIon Now Fully Assured.

Inc success OF Dr. FOAs honucrLul OpeEh.
ton Now Fully Assured.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 1.-THE
success Of the great operation per-
formed at the Germantown Hospital by
DR.. L. Webster Fox, of this city, by
transplanting the cornea OF q rabbits eye
to the eye OF Mrs. Annie Schick, is now
undeniably established. Last Saturday
Mrs. Schick had so far recovered as to war
rant her leaving the hospital and return
ing to her home at 374 North Fourth
street.
DR.. Fox made an examination of the
eye yesterday and pronounces it in
splendid condition. The return OF Mrs.
Schicks vision is IN assured fact. She
will be attended at her home by DR..
Fox, who will personally superintend
the removal and application Of the band
ages.
The doctor goes to Cincinnati to at
tend the annual convention OF the
American Medical Society, where he
will read paper on his recent success
full operation.
DR.. L. o. Shakespeare, ophthalmic sur
geon to the Philadelphia Hospital, who
also goes to attend the Cincinnati con-
yention, said, when speaking Of the
operation: at is a great thing for
science. II at first only two or three
operations should prove successful, with
improved methods and greater expert
ence this will prove a wonderful benefit
to the poor blind. Ifind agreat number
Of these people who are in the hospitals
and institutions suffering from just such
complaints as that Of DR.. Fox's patient,
and in the event Of DR.. Fox's operation
proving successful beyond a doubt, it
may be said that fair percentage Of
these people will recover their sight and
thereby be enabled to make their own
living"
Professor Wagenner, assistant in the
University eye clinic at Goettingen,
Germany, in a recent German medical
publication, discusses at great length
the methods OF Won Nipples operation,
which is identical with that Of DR.. Fox,
and predicts great results from this
method.

CONFUSION IN CUBA.
Troops Searching Houses Of Innocent citi
4ens-Amsrican Jailed.

KEY WEST, FLA, May THE latest
adyices from Cuba indicate that the con-
dition Of the island is deplorable. The
proclamation OF General Martin, declar-
ing a state siege, has thrown the island
into such fearful state Of excitement
that planters and farmers now fee to
Havana, MatanLas and other cities to
save their lives.
The Guardia Civil and other troops are
committing atrocities upon peaceful cit
izens, some Of whom have been killed
by the troops, who claim that they were
arrested on suspicion and in trying to
escape were shot. Others are malicious
IL incarcerated for alleged completely in
the bandits outrage.
The Havana authorities are actually
ransacking the private residences Of
many innocent people, who are suffer-
ing in consequence. LeopoldO Zarrago-
lin, who claims TO be q naturaliZed
American, left Key West Tuesday even
ing, and on his arrival at Havana he

RRNnING THR bed CLOTHES
In His Agony-Ths Sick Emperor Frederick
Suffers ExcrucIAtingly.


PHILADELPHIA, May IA Berlin cor.
respondent telegraphs his paper con-
cerning the Emperor's condition as fol-
lows: The rain and sleet to-day seem to
have penetrated the double windows OF
the Imperial Palace. His Majesty is
worse than at any time within the past
few days tonight, but an improvement
is depended on with the arrival Of bet
ter weather. The royal patient seems to
have lost all strength OF lungs and limbs.
Another relapse is expected by the med
ical experts. At each relapse the most
unfortunate OF monarchs seems percep-
tibly lower. DR.. Mackenzie, when seen
to-day, was remarkably nervous, a sure
sign that his Majesty was worse. To
night the best information around the
palace is that his fever is higher, and his
general condition unsatisfactory. A
driving storm has dispelled the crowd.
Only gloomy and dull sentinels are to be
seen and all ingress is barred ut the
palace.
l have heard tonight, from physi-
clan in a position to speak with entire
accuracy, that the suffering Of the En-
peror was so great during the recent
trouble with the insertion OF the tube,
followed by the resignation OF Surgeon
Bergman, that he actually tore the
sheets in his agony. 1t was only at the
last minute, when there was imminent
danger OF suffocation, that DR.. Macken-
zie called Bergman, by means Of
mounted messenger. 1t was necessary
TO insert new canula, reaching further
down into the trachea, without delay.
The operation led to bleeding and much
subsequent suffering.
While the doctors quarreled the inva-
lid underwent the most pitiable suffer-
ing. The bed clothes were torn so that
they had to be entirely replaced. This
information is now substantiated and is
expected to be OF great Importance in
the physicians fight, which is to come
later on when the services OF the doctors
are no longer required. DR.. Mackenzie
had man here named Schleicter, who
was known as his literary adj
utant, and who furnished bedside
news to the English newspapers.
He left at a moments notice four
days ago and the German journalists
now say he was ordered out of Berlin.
Though have failed to verify this eX-
traordinary illustration OF the lengths
to which official spite against the En-
glish physician can go, the present efforts
OF the doctors to collect material for q
post-mortem warfareis another evidence
Of the extreme jealousy, envy and mar
row nature Of certain men OF this pro-
fession, even in the hour Of pending
national calamity, when petty quarrels
should be smoOthed out. There is no
doubt that among the physicians the
question of which doctor will win is OF
vastly more consequence than the strug-
gle of the Emperor with his unhappy

The Morgan Line Vessel Eurekn Goes
Down Near Norfolk, va.
NORFOLK, Va, May THE Morgan
Line steamer Eureka came into collision
with another steamship last night and
sunk.
The British steamship Benson, from
Mantazas to Philadelphia, has been
towed here in distress and reports hay-
ing been in collision with the steamship
Eureka, yesterday Afternoon, from New
York for New Orleans. A dense fog
prevailed at the time. When the fog
lifted, about half an hour after the col.
lision the Eureka was nowhere in sight.
After the collision there was sound oi
escaping steam, and one whistle. The
Benison's bow was badly stove in and
she would undoubtedly have sunk but
for her water-tight compartments. The
Eureka is freight boat, and carried nc
passengers. Her crew, including Off
GERS, sailors, deck hands and engineers,
numbers thirty-eight persons in all.
The Eureka was valued at $4,000 and
her cargo at Sl5OOOO. She was four.
masted vessel, schooner rigged, built oi
iron, with three decks; was $50 feet
long and registered $3.50 gross tons.
