NEWFOUNDLAND UP IN ARMS.
The Colony Almost Ready for Rebellion
Against Great Britain.

The Colony Almost Ready for Rebellion
Against Great Britain.
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
OTTAWA. May ga gentleman who
has arrived here from Newfoundland in
connection with business with the Dominion
Government, says that the people of that
colony are in thoroughly demoralized con-
dition-aImost on the verge of rebellion
against the British Government for the
manner in which they have been treated
by the imperial authorities in sur
rendering to France one of the most
valuable sections OF the island while France
continues to discriminate against them.
From this distance he says it is impossible
to picture the excitement that prevails
throughout the colony. No action of the
British or Colonial Government has ever
done more to create desire on the part of
the Colony for annexation with the United
States than the apathy now shown by the
British Government.
"Should we not succeed in securing our
rights" he said, "there will be an insur-
rection, and the United States will be ap-
pealed to by nine-tenths of the people Of
Newfoundland to admit US into the Union.
All idea of entering the Dominion has been
abandoned.

Societies Mt Milwaukee.

First Convention of tho German Catholic
Societies Mt Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE. May N.-The convention
of German Catholic Societies held its first
business meeting this morning, preceded by
appropriate religious services. The entire
morning was given to the discussion Of the
Bennett school law. the general sentiment
being that it was in direct opposition to the
church. The Committee on Resolutions
subsequently reported on the Bennett school
law, declaring that they make no claims
upon the public school for the support Of
parochial and other private schools, but as
taxpayers and citizens they demanded
their rights. The committee also pro-
tests against any misuse and waste of money
OF this fund. They deny the right of the
State to exercise any control over their
schools, only when they may collide with
public order or the laws of morals. ''Inas-
much as the Bennett law violates our prin-
ciples and curtails our religious liberty, we
hereby declare ourselves for the uncon-
ditional repeal of that law" The resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted.
The question of establishing a Catholic
German English high school in Milwaukee
was left to committee. The delegates to
the National Convention at Baltimore were
instructed to urge biennial instead of annual
conventions.

the accident is that the engine and cars
jumped the break without leaving the track,
but on the other side the rails were spread,
and the second and frst-class passenger cars
were hurled down the embankment and
broken into splinters.
Conductor G. w. Gruber had both legs
broken and his head cut open. Three
others were badly hurt, but not dangerously.
There was no station near and it was 8
o'clock this morning before assistance
reached the passengers, who had spent the
night by the roadside.

SPRING ADVICE.
IScientific Marazina

Be careful Of your diet. You do not need
heavy food such as you require during the
winter.
Spring may be beautiful. but it is treacher-
Gus. DO not let it deceive you into a cold, a
fever, malaria or pneumonia.
Do not throw of your winter hannels too
early. 1t is better to suffer little inconve-
nience than to take cold.
If you feel tired. feverish or overheared. do
not rush of and take ''sprlng medicines.n
Cool yourself down and in this way help your
system and purify your blood.
If you feel hot and thirsty, do not drink large
quantities of water or other long" drinks II
is much better To take little pure whiske ey and
water, which will quench the thirst, tone the
system and fortIfy against disease.
Remember that only pure whiskey should
ever be taken into the system, and that the
leading chemists and scientists of the present
day unite in declaring that Duffy's Pure Malt
is absolutely the puresr and best. W

An Anderson Hotel Porter is Arrested and
the Money Found on Him.
James Mulligan, porter at the Hotel Auder-
son. was arrested last night about midnight by
Detectives Shore and Bendle, and placed in the
Central station. on charge eff stealing
500 from Eduard Strauss leader of
the famous orchestra. Between and
o'clock Mulligan began to get the
Strauss baggage ready for transporta-
ton to the depot, but on account of a change
in the time Of leaving the baggage was re-
placed. The money was in satchel in Mr..
Strauss room. The pins on the door had been
removed to give it the appearance of having
been broken open. The satchel was also open
when the musician and his manager returned
to the hotel. The lock of the satchel is a Pc
culiar one and could not be opened BY person
unfamiliar with its construction.
The proprietors of the hotel, when the loss of
the money was reported, supposed that the
room had been broken into and did not believe
that Mulligan was guilty. Manager Blakely, of
the Strauss Company, notified the police. In
spector McAleese detailed Detectives Shore
and Bendle, who decided, uDon hearing the cir
cumstances, that Mulllgan was the guilty man.
Upon being searched the missing 500 was
found hidden away under his clothing. He ex-
planned the opening of the satchel by saying that
he had dropped it on the floor, when it flew
open. He made no further explanation.

1t was stated yesterday afternoon that President
Nimick and Directors Converse and Brown, of
the local National League club held a meeting
during the day and discussed the affairs of the
club. When questioned the matter Mr.
Nimick stated that the meeting only related to

ever, said that the affairs OF the club were what
the meeting discussed.
Nothing could be definitely learned as to what
the expressed opinions of the local magnates
were but Director Brown said that he is quite
ready to put up more money If It is needed. All
reports about the alleged transfer of the club
emphatically denied and the bills announcing
the rittsburg-Chicago series of games commenc-
ing here on Monday out. One authority
stated that the directors anxious to spend
money in securing better players. II this is true
the move will be wise one.
Another rumor is current and il relates to the
PLAYERS League telegram from Philadelphia
states that Manager Hecker declares there will be
q Change of schedule, as the Players League clu bs
will remain in the East after the present Eastern
series is through. This, however seems to be
only rumor, no authority other than Mr..
Hecker is given. The news is too good to be true
should such a change be made, however the new
League will show that IL has some respect for the
public's wishes.
