De Steures divorce case began this morn

Zborowski, her lawyer, and her maid be-
ing in court. The Baroness was put on
the stand and occupied the whole morn
ing in telling her story. She was very
bright witness and quite won the hearts
of her hearers. She said her husband
was always cruel and irritable with her.
He called her "A savage American" and
often at State dinners he would become
angry at her and shout out at her, 81 wish
to God l had never married you." Once,
when the Minister at Madrid was nego-
tiating delicate commercial treaty, he
asked her to play the coquette with him,
the Minister of Commerce, and make him
think he could do what he liked with her.
This base proposition she Indignantly re-
jected. He charged her with being un-
faithful. June 13, 1890, he had two doc
tors examine her as to her sanity, and
took her children away from her. She
left him, and has not seen him since. The

A Sc National Union Loan3 Bill Intro
duced in the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The creation of
a National Union Loan Fund" is the
object of a bill introduced to-day by Rep
resentative Otis of Kansas. This fund is
to consist of two million dollars, or as
much as may be necessary, legal tender
paper money, to be issued by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and interchange
able at par with other kinds of lawful
money Of the United States. Any State
desiring to avail itself of the benefits
may do so by the adoption of joint res
olution, setting forth that the State agrees
to pay to the United States one per cent.
per annum on all sums drawn and re-
tanned by it, and providing for loan of
money to its citizens upon reasonable Sc
curity at an interest not exceeding three
per cent. The Secretary is to honor the
request for loan to the extent of fifty
per cent. Of the assessed value of real es-
tate situated within the State.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senator Squire.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Iortifcations and Coast Defenses, has
notified the Senators interested that a
meeting of the committee Will be held on
Friday next for the purpose of consider
ing the bill to establish gun foundry on
the Pacific Coast. Senator FELTON, will
appear before the committee on that day
and present some data that he has col
lected concerning the proposed foundry.
II need not surprise California if the
foundry is located at some point in Ore
gon or on Puget Sound, for Senator
Squire, as Chairman of the committee,
will, OF course, exert great influence, and
it may naturally be expected that he will
try TO have the foundry established in
Washington. Senator Dolph, who was
formerly Chairman of the committee,
Will, of course, try to have the foundry
located at some point III Oregon, near
Portland, probably. He is now MEM
Der OF the committee, being second to
Senator Squire.
Senator FELTON,, being a new member of
the committee, as well as a new United
States Senator, cannot be expected to
have much to say concerning the project,
but he says he Will appear before the
committee and do his utmost to locate the
foundry at Benicia. He anticipates that
he will have formidable opponents in
Senators Squire and Dolph, both being
old members of the Senate.
1t matters very little, however, what
action is taken by the Senate, for it is
pretty certain that the bill will never pass
the House of Representatives while Hol-
man is Chairman of the Committee on
appropriations. Tie latter has intimated
that he will never consent to make large
appropriations for the purpose of estao-
fishing gun foundry anywhere.
Representative McKenna. while hope
ful at first that he might be able to secure
small appropriation to begin the pro-
ject, has come 10 the conclusion that the
Democratic House will not be willing to
appropriate a cent for this purpose.
