tested signs of surprise, and stated fatty
that the runior was entirely false, and
that no such proposition has been made
or was contemplated. He took the tele-
gram to President Barrillas, who sent
word back to me to deny the rumor. as
it was entirely without foundation. ]

SpaniSh-American Hebrews to
Take a Noteworthy Part
In the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position in Chicago.

The Project Meeting With Encourage
ment from All Sides-Action of a Recent
Meeting In New York in Response TO q
Call Signed by Sixty Prominent Hebrews
OfOur Leading Cities.
New YORK, June 22.-Many promi
nent Hebrew-Americans met in the
Spanish and Portuguese synagogue a
few days ago to take action for becom'
ing participation in the coming quadri.
centennial of the discovery of America.
The call for the meeting was signed
by sixty gentlemen of New York,
Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, st.
Louis, Baltimore Peoria, New Orleans,
Milwaukee, Washington, Montreal,
Cairo, Albany, Newport, Helena, New
ark, Port Gibson.
AS stated in the call, "The proposed
demonstration viii be fitting because as
Hebrews we are the centuried witnesses
to the fact that without national virtue
neither national prosperity nor national
existence can continue. The conditions
of modern American life naturally
foster the germs of political, social and
religious corruption, The 4OOth an
niversary of the discovery of this
continent will be a proper occasion
to quicken sentiment against such
corruption, and to force facts which we
witness to the end of time. Among
other propositions, such as endowing us
with national university, erecting an
institution of practical utility for ma
tional purposes, etc., it will be suggested
that we write iii stone this testimony,
proclaiming that reverence, virtue,
Justice, honor, are essentials of ma
tion's life; and that we present it to this
nation to be constant reminder of
what America cannot forget without
peril to herself and to her institutions.
Encouragement Given.
A. S. Solomon presided at the meet
ing and DR.. HI. Perrira Mendes, the sec
retary, read letters from all parts of the
country expressing sympathy with the
meetings.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted
RESOLVED, That the proposal for the
quadri-centennial of the discovery OF this
continent be marked IN some appropriate
manner by the Hebrews of the United
States and that committee of twenty-one
be appointed by the chair at his leisure, to
report at the earliest time practicable to

Protest of the North American
Commercial Company
Against the Closed Sealing
Season Arrangement.

Uncle Sam win Probably Get the Worst
of 1t as the Company Has Lease Pro-
viding for the Taking of 60, 900 skins
Annually for Twenty Years, and Paid a
Good Round Price for 1t, Too.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The North
American Commercial company, through
its attorney, Judge N. l.. Jetfreys, has
filed protest with Acting Secretary
Spaulding, of the treasury department,
in which it recites that it has the right
to take fur seals from the islands Of St.
Paul and st. George for the period Of
twenty years from May 1, 1890, and that
1t has and will continue to perform the
stipulations of its lease. The company
states that it was assured quota of co.
900 sealskins during 1890, and upon such
assurance submitted its bid at three
times the amount paid by former lessee.
Upon the acceptance of the lease the
company made large outlay in buildings
and provisions and arranged for trans
porting 10000 sealslxins to San Francis
co. The company says that it was COM
pollod TO cease taking seals on the Goth
day of July, when the scaling season had
not expired, and only one-third of the
quota of skins had been obtained, and
the company was further prohibited
from taking any additional number dur
ing this year. On this account the
company has sustained a loss of $400, 900.

PARIS, June 22.-The Haytiap minis
ter here has received letter from the
Haytian secretary of state, dated Port
au-Prinoe, saying that on Corpus Christi
day, May %, President Hippolyte was
attending the religious services in the
cathedral Of Port-an-P Prince, when a
band of desperadoes, headed by "an OBJ
scure general named Sully- -Guerrier, at
tackled the prison, forced open the door
and liberated the prisoners therein con-
fined.
General Sully- -Guerrier and his band
then started for the presidential palace,
hoping to surprise and assassinate Presi-
dent Hippolyte and the cabinet min
listers. The latter promptly mobilized
the forces and soon managed to sur
prise the revolt The leaders of the
revolutionary movement were placed
under arrest, and number of their ac-
completes were also made prisoners.
President Hippolyte led the attack
upon the revolutionists ON horseback in
the midst of hail of bullets.
M. Rigaud was shot after convincing
proof had been furnished that he was
not French subject.
The secretary of states letter con.
cludes with the remark that "the coun.
try is now tranquil and will remain SO"

cabinets are discussing the expediency
of taking united action in order to re-
store order in Hayti.
Reparation Demanded.
At a cabinet council held Saturday IL

Hayti for the shooting of M. Rigaud on
Corpus: Christi day, ON the ground that
ne was French subject.

EVERYWHERE BUT ENGLAND.
Lord Salisbury Says the Spirit OF PrOtec
tlOn Is Spreading.

tioh Is Spreading.
LONDON, June 22.-Lord Salisbury
replying to an address presented to him
by delegation representing the United
Empire Trade League, said the treaties
of 1869 and 1865 negotiated under Lord
Palmerston's government which pre-.
vented the colonies from giving prefer.
ence to British trade were unlucky and
most unfortunate. No government, he
added, was likely TO repeat the error
then made. Nevertheless, he explained.
it was impossible to denounce the
treaties in bits. The same treaties con.
tanned provisions of the utmost i'm
portance to England, especially now
when the spirit of protection was run.
ming very high in every country ex,
cept England.
The government, Lord Salisbury con.
tinued, would seize the earliest chance
to deliver the country from these unfor-
tunate engagements, but not at the price
of losing the valuable provisions of the
treaties referred to. Means of mitigat-
ing the evils complained of might be
found before very long.
The league, however, said the pre-
uller, InuSI Work naru 10 convert Unelr
countrymen to their (the league's) way
of thinking, for it was impossible for
England to give preferential treatment
to the colonies at the expense of the rest
of the world. The league must ascertain
how far the country would support the
policy, of which he imagined promi-
nent feature was preferential tax on
grain, wool and meat. Englishmen, in
his opinion, would never consent to leg
islation of vague or indefinite kind,
especially where their dearest daily in
terests were concerned.
The United Empire Trade league Is
satisfied with Lord Ssllisbury's reply to
the league delegates and will organize a
fair trade campaign throughout the
country.
The News considers Lord Salisbury's
reply to the delegates mere good-natured
badinage.

THE BAN OF MILITARY LAW
Removed From Vienna After Being in
Force Seven Years,

Removed From Vienna After Being in
Force Seven Years.
VIENNA, June 22.-The surrender by
Count Taaf to the German Liberals Is
viewed with considerable satisfaction in
Berlin as placing Austria in a line with
Germany, not only In forcing alliances,
but also in matters of domestic policy.
Count Taaf had been preparing for the
change ever since the May election, and
it was in line with the new policy that
an imperial decree was issued, removing
the ban of martial law from Vienna,
Wiener, Neustadt and Komeuburg.
The government has rcnounced its
rights to institute domiciliary searches
to confiscate letters, and to order ar
rests without judicial warrant. IL
seems singular that one of the great
European capitals should, for the past
seven years have been under martial
law without people generally being
aware of the fact.
The reason is that the ordinary laws
are not interfered with, and the people
went about their business without inter
ruption. Only when some anarchist or
socialist had been attempting disturb
ante Aill lli'li llsll lttW bbtp III bCAIp utAA
get rid of him. The decree still exempts
persons accused of revolutionary offenses
from the benefit of trial by jury; ETC.,
so that there will virtually be no change
for such people, while ordinary citizens
will be protected, as before by the ordi-
nary laws. An attache Of the Austrian
embassy in Berlin said that the new de-
parture in Vienna meant that German
Influence was once more, after many
years, to occupy preponderant place in
Austrian affairs.

NATURAL. GAS SUPPLY.
Inspector Jortan's Sensational Statements
Cause Great INDIGNATION at Muncie.

Inspector Ordan's sensational statements
Cause Great Indignation at Muncie.
MUNCIE, Ind, June 22.-The news
paper reports sent from Portland quot
ing State Natural Gas Inspector Jordan
with saying the natural gas in the In
diana belt is failing, has caused much
notice by Muncie manufacturers and
leading citizens, who are making many
uncomplimentary remarks that bring
the supposed learned mans faculties on
that question very much in doubt.
Since Mr.. Jordan's appointment by the
recent legislature he has never been
heard of nearer the gas field than Port
land, which is several miles from the
belt, and if he will come to Muncie,
look at the daily register of pressure of a
dozen wells owned by the Muncie
Natural Gas company, he can there as
certain that the supply has not in the
least deprecated. A letter Of inquiry
from him or anyone else toJ. F. Darnall,
of the Muncie nail mills, or Henry
Blockman, of the Muncie pulp works,
which two institutions utilize gas for
making nearly two thousand horse
power, will give the facts as they are,
in favor of the gas.
