A QUESTION OF vERACITY.
Did Sir Julian Pauncefote Talk to Dunlap
Correspondent!

correspondents
NEW YORK, Feb 5.-The Dunlap-Dalzi
News Agency says: The denial of Minis
ter Pauncefote to the interview had with
him by a reporter of this agency and cabled
to the London Times yesterday is ground
less. Sir Julian Pauncefote was met in
street-car coming from the Capitol by the
agency's special correspondent in Washing
ton, aud to him the British Minister made
the remarks concerning the Behring Sea
case, word for word, as cabled to London"
The agency publishes in full the dispatch
to the Times in which Sir Julian is quoted
as saying: 81 believed from the first that
the court had jurisdiction. That opinion
has been re-enforced by conversations with
members OF Congress who are regarded as
authorities on the question of international
law. do not regard the appeal to the Su-
preme Court as an international affront to
the Executive branch of the Government,
but simply as q desire on the part of the
schooner Saywood to have this case dis
posed of with as little delay as possible.
The fishing season is near at hand and the
fishermen are anxious to follow their v0ca-
ton i'll lawful and orderly manner. Eng
liShmen respect the law of every nation and
are willing to go before such an august tr-
bunal as the Supreme Court on the merits
of the pending case"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-An agent of the
Associated Press called upon Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British Minister, this after
noon and called his attention to the fact
that DalzelPs News Agency had issued a
statement reassertng the authenticity of the
alleged interview with the Minister, which
was cabled to the London Times. Sir Julian
made a tatement in writing, absolutely de-
nying having used any of the language at
tributed to him. A few days ago, he said, q
man accosted him in a public car and in
formed hia os Is decision of the Supreme
Court in the Sayward case. They ex-
changed, says Sir Julian, few remarks
about the agitation which the case had ex-
cited ard which the Minister said he was
glad to think had subsided. ---fhis was abSo-

Minister that this action of his Government
in granting an exemption of duties to the
products and manufactures of the United
States is, accepted as due reciprocity for
action of Congress as set forth in Section 8
of the Tariff Act. Therefore, President
Harrison has caused the above stated modi-
fications of the tariff law of Brazil to be
made public for the information Of the citi-
Zens of the United States.
THE NEGOTIATIONS.
The first Of a series of letters upon the
subject was written by Mr.. Blaine and
dated November Sd last. In it the Secre-
tary OF State expresses to Senior Mendonca
the hope that the Government of Brazil will
meet the Government of the United States
In spirit of sincere friendship in its desire
Tor such trade relations with that country
as shall be reciprocally equal, and that it
may be the happy fortune of Senior Men
donca and himself to be instrumental in
establishing commercial relations between
the two republics ON permanent basis of
reciprocity pr titable to both.
In his reply, dated January 81, 1891, Senior
Mendonca informs Blaine that the United
States of Brazil are animated by a desire to
strengthen and perpetuate the friendly re-
latlonS which happily exist between them
and the United States of America, and TO
establish basis OF reciprocity and equality.
Blaine, on the same day. in a note 10 Men
dGnca, expresses satisfaction at the attitude
OF the Brazilian Government asks Senior
Mendonca to meet him at the Department
OF State to agree upon the time and manner
OF making public announcement of this
new commercial arrangement.

OUTBREAK IN SPAIN,
Police DiSperse a Meeting in
Barcelona.
Several Persons Reported to Have Been
More or Less Injured.
Indications Of Revolutionary Uprisings
Throughout the COuntry-SeY-
eral Riots.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

BARCELONA, Feb. 5.-The revolutionary
spirit which is smoldering throughout Spain
nearly burst into flame in this city to-day.
There was a peaceful demonstration, in
which there were parade and speeches in
favor of the Republican leader. Don Nicolas
Salmeron.
During the demonstration the crowds be-
came somewhat excited. This seems to have
alarmed the officer in charge of the mounted
gendarmes detailed to maintain order, and
be lost his head. He ordered the gendarmes
to charge the crowd.
They did so at gallop. firing pistols and
carbines right and left. The result was that
several persons were more or less danger
ously wounded. This deeply enraged the
people. but the crowd dispersed without any
open act of retaliation.
1t is understood the Government will be
asked to order an inquiry into the conduct
of the officer in charge of the gendarmes.
Salmeron's friends claim that bulet-marks
around the window from which he was
speaking show the gendarmes tried to shoot
him.
MADRID. Feb. 5.-The Epoca endeavors
to minimize the Importance of the affair in
Barcelona to-day. II says few police dis
persed an unauthorized meeting of Re-
publ1cans and the published accounts are
exaggerated.
Dispatches report rioting in a number of
towns tonight. A Liberal Carlist riot oc-
CURED at LogronO. At Har0 the Carlist
Club was wrecked. There was serious riot
ing at Santo Domingo and Cazada, where
many persons were injured.

Harry Pepper, the Tenor, Suing
for a Divorce.
Alleged Causes for the Sad Sequel to Many
Years Of Married Bliss.
Statement Of a Friend Of Once Popular
and Pretty Actress = Charges
Against the Husband.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI

Boston, Feb. 5.-Harry Pepper, the
widely known opera tenor, has instituted
proceedings in New York for divorce from
his wife, Carrie Tuttein, the former popular
and pretty soubrette actress and singer.
Both are Bostonians and we'll con-
nected. 1t was while singing in comic
opera that Pepper first met Carrie and mar
ried her, about dozen years ago. During
one of the theatrical seasons at the 7o's
Pepper took his wife and her
sister on starring tour through the
country in farce comedy. The company
did very well and success promised
to crown the venture, but (and this story
comes from friends Of Pepper Carrie Tut
tein became unreliable. Her understudy
had to take her place many even
ings and play her part, she being
incapacitated. This, it is alleged, was
the beginning of what is proving
to be sad sequel to many years of married
bliss by these two widely known denizens
of the singers Bohemia. Some of Miss
Tuttein's friends, who admit that her fail
ing is weakness for the products of the
vineyard, say that her husband should
be held responsible for her erring
ways, because it is alleged that she loved
him devotedly and was extremely jealous of
him. and he, it is said, over and over again
crushed her spirit by what she be-
lieved were undue attentions to other
women. ITO use cant phrase" said
young woman attached to the local musical
school who knows the couple intimately,
:" he has driven her to drink-that is, if she
is drinker, he has made her so."
Mr. Pepper has filed his suit Tor divorce in
the New York courts, and hi, wife has re-
tanned the services of Edwin A. Pratt of
that city to defend her against the allega-
tlonS in the petition of her husband.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Sir John Macdonald Severely Reprimandtd.
Eaine'S Denial.

OTTAWA (Ontario). Feb "a local paper
says it is understood that Sir John Macdon-
aid received severe reprimand from the
British Government yesterday for having
made public the text of the proposal of re-
cprocity he has made through the British
Government TO the United States Govern
ment before II reached the authorities at
Washington. The paper only excuses the
Premier on account of the desperate means
he is driven TO to save his Government from
ignOmnlouS defeat, when it goes before the
country for vindication of its policy next
month.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Secretary Blaine
said to-day with reference to the dispatch
from Ottawa published this morning, which
gives from Canadian source what purports
to be the manner in which the proposal for
reciprocity negotiations came TO be made to
the United States, that the statements con-
corning himself and his action in the matter
were utterly without foundation.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5-Sir Charles Tupper,
the Canadian High Commissioner at Lon
don, arrived on the Teutouic to-day. He
expressed himself as thoroughly in favor of
the Goyernor-GeneraPs reciprocity pro-
posals, and says that he learned in CONVEX
sation with Lord knutsford that the En-
gllsh Government is strongly in favor of the
policy and will do all in its power to aid in
It's final accomplishment.

A Meeting Between Dixon and Nc -aFthy
Prevented BY Legal Interfera-Ga.

LONG ISLAND CITY, Feb. County
Judge Garretson late this afternoon issued
warrants foI the arrest Of Dixon and Nc
Carthy. The application for the warrants
was made BY 4 CO nmittee Of the Jefferson
ian Club. political organization, who made
affidavit on Information and oslisl that
the men were going 20 engage in prize
fight. Dixon and Mccarthy will be arrested
on sight.
Owing to the issuance of the warrants it
was decided not to bring the men to the
clubhouse, thus deferring for tonight, az
least their meeting. The crowd was in
formed that owing to legal obstacles the
fight had been indefinitely postponed, aud
all money would be refunded. The people
dispersed in bad humor.
The cause of the interference by the JEFF
fersOnian Club members is a mystery. The
Puritan Club consulted counsel, and al
though Informed that it would not be legal
to arrest the men on charges that they vera
about to commit a misdemeanor ana cDntine
them in Jail without bail pending an iRYes-
tigation of the charges. the authorities re-
manned obdurate and the club sorrowfully
declared the fight off. As soon as it was
learned that warrants were issued Dixon
and Mccarthy were taken back TO New
York.

ders New Bill Prepared.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5-The Committee of
the House on Foreign Affairs had under con-
sideration MnrrOw's bill to incorporate the
Pacific Cable Company to-day, which is to
establish cable from San Francisco to the
Hawaiian Islands; thence, via Samoa, to
New Zealan and to Japan. 1t was finally
decided to ins truct tile subcommittee to pre-
pare bill on the lines proposed in the pres
ent bill, but which Will strengthen il in
various ways and keep the proposed cable
under the control Of the United States Gov
ernment.
General Hartwell of Boston, one of the in
corpOrators of the company, appeared be-
fore the committee and answered questions
propounded from time to time by members
of the committee.
1t is believed that the Cable Bill will be
reported favorably at the next meeting of
the committee on Monday. 1t seems prob
able that its subsidy feature will be retained
and its incorporators names will not be
stricken out as was done on the Senate side
Replying to the criticism of a San Fran
cisco newspaper about referring the bill to
a committee Of Eastern men, who are not
familiar with Pacific Coast affairs, Repre-
sentative Morrow said tonight that such
reference was in accord with the custom of
Congress for years; that a person introduce
ing measure is seldom appointed as a menl-
Der OF the committee to sit in Judgment on
the merits of his own bill. OF course this
bill was very properly referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, and Morrow, who
introduced the bill in the House, is its only
Pacific Coast member,

Gladstone's New Home-Rule Bill Practically
Forces Him to Retire.
New YORK. Feb. 6.-The Herald's Lon
don special says: So far as the opposition
is concerned the Interchange of prelimina-
ries with the anti-ParnelGite leaders is re-
ported to have been concluded. a confiden-
tial communication between Gladstone and
Mccarthy in reference to the method in
which the former proposes to deal with the
land question and control of the constabu-
larry in his next home-rule bill has, it is
said, satisfied Dillon and O'Brien, as well as
McCarthy and Sexton, in regard to the in
tentlons OF the member from Midlothian,
and 1t Is cOntended in GladstOnian
circles that Parnell has now no
course lett to him but to retire from the
neld. There is reason to believe that the
Gladstonian leaders have expressed their
Willingness to concede TO the Irish Parla-
ment control OF the Royal irish Constabu-
larry as a civil force under conditions much
less eXacting than those defined in the DILL of
1885, and, seeing that measure dealing
with the land question Will be passed dur
ing the present session of Parliament, they
are ready to admit the title of the Irish peO-
pie 70 deal with any further developments
Of the problem. In regard to the further
point, which Parnell % reported to have
raised. as to the veto Of the Imperial Parlla-
ment, Gladstone, 1t is stated, adheres to the
principles which he laid down five years ago.
Among the GladstOnians, and q conSidera-
BILE section of the anti-Parnellites, there is
growing feeling of skepticism as to the pos
Sihilities of a compromise.
PARIS, Feb. 5.-Accordng to dispatch
TO the Temps from its London cOrrespon-
dent, the latter affects to know that Glad
stone has given the required assurance
which will justify Parnell in retiring from
the leadership of his section of the Irish
Parliamentary party. Dillon, the corre-
sDondent adds. will replace Mccarthy as
leader of the McCarthyite section and will
be selected as the leader of the reunited
party.

Herr Richter approved the treaty with

ought to clear up the difference between
Wissmann and Emin.
The Chancellor declared the dispute be-
tween Wissmann and Emn was not ripe for
discussion. He regretted that Wissmann
had been judged unfavorably. The Ger
mans in Africa owed their success to WiSs-
mann, above all.

DOMINION RAILROADS.
The Canadian Pacific Subsidized TO Re-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Sub Commit
tee of the House Committee on Commerce
has under consideration the bill introduced
by Burton OF Onio, requiring the Canadian
railroads doing business in the United
States to obtain license or permit, and
providing for the revocation of the license
in case of the violation of the Interstate
Commerce Act. A number of railroad men
were present at the invitation of the COM
mittee AMI gave their views on the bill.
NEW YORK, Feb. "a local paper says:
The startling fact that the Canadian Pacific
Railway is eXacting subsidy" of S500,0)0
year from the Amer al trans continental
railroads, in consideration of kedbing out of
California business Will pro6lbly BE-
brought to the front at Washington shortly,
in the debate on the proposed legislation
hostile to Dominion railroads. The West
ern Traffic Association will consider the
matter too. The subsidy" was agreed
upon Just before that organization was
formed. 1t is very much on the same prin-
clple as the payments, popularity recog-
nized as blackmail, which the Pacific
Mali Squeezes out of the same railroads in
consideration of its not cutting rates to
Pacific points. These payments aggregate
about S7OO, 600 year, SO it viii be seen that
the transcOntinental lines pay altogether

Will be news to most people. Before Presi-
dent Van Horne made arrangements to get it
the Canadian Pacific was placated by being
allowed differential rate or right TO quote
less tariff than other lines. By degrees,
however, the diiferential grew larger and
larger, and it looked very much as If the
Canadian Pacific was reaching out Its enOr-
nous claws for everything in sight. Then
Van Horne thought Of the subsidy idea.
At the present time the Canadian Pacific
has received Sl25,0 900 from the transcunti-
mental lines. AS business procedure the
investment has paid the party we'll Be-
side refraining from billing freight to or
