"The enchantment Of q look and the

poetry, and how deeply, beautifully,
soulfully poetical is the idea suggested
by our scientific friend. NJ. Bourget
could write q great novel around it-,if
he only had scientific knowledge. But
at least he should write another maga-

They hurt neither science nor art, nor

BERLIN, April A-The government or.
gans declare that the reports of conflict
between Chancellor Won Caprivi and DR..
Miguel. the Prussian minister of finance,
are entirely baselsss. It is known. how
ever. that DR.. Miguel il embarrassed in
arranging to meet the military demands
which amount to $4,000, 900 marks. and to
meet the demand for $1,000 600 marks ad-
ditional for an extension for state rail-
ways in Prussia. He advocated the grant,
ing Of government CONCESSIONS to the
opposition in both the reichstag and land
tag. and aims at getting further control Of
the ministry if Chancellor Won Caprivi
goes out of Office.
The chancellor's commercial treaty pol
icy has been strengthened by official sta
tistics issuad at Vienna, giving the re-
suits Of the FIRST years trade under the
Austro-G German commercial treaty. De-
spite the reduction in tariffs on agricul-
tural products. exports from Austria to
Germany have but slightly changed. Ex-
ports Of pigs have increased 1S4 per cent.
Exports of wheat, corn, beans, rye and
cattle have actually decreased. The re-
port thus disproves the contention Of
agrarians that the treaty had injured the
German farmers.

LONDON, April 6-An attempt this morn
ing on the part Of publicans and others to
make public demonstration against the
proposed Law establishing local option and
abridging the privileges of tho liquor trade
resulted In scene Of riot and disorder. It
appears the riot was the result Of plans de-
liberately prepared by the temperance sup
porters of the bill. The temperance party,
numbering thousands. occupied Trafalgar
square before the arrival Of the liquor party,
with the object Of frustrating tho demon
stration. As procession after procession
Of liquor men appeared with banners the
temperance people pounced upon them
and the banners were quickly. reduced to
shreds. Free fights were frequent and the
police were busily employed IN subduing
and arresting the ringleaders in the strife.
The speeches werc inaudible owing to
the Rroans and the hooting Of the
Temperance party. Tho temperance
party next proceeded T. hold forth.
The liquor party. snraged BY the
previous attacks on themselves,' became
aggressive and the first Temperance
speaker was knocked downsand- somewhat
bruised. The temperance people rallied
and renewed the attack, carrying all BE-
fore them and obtaining full control.

Special. lin obedience to instructions
have made an investigation into the
report about the American consulate
in Peru being attacked by . mob,
for which an apology was de-
manded by the United States government.
But have not been able to find any con-
sulate in Peru invaded by the incidents
connected with the reported sacking,
which lead me to believe that the outrage
took place at La Paz, Bolivia
The riot occurred on March q. A party
of students who were en- route to the
Chicago fair attended the funeral
of Senior Casarda, a Chilean merchant
of La Paz. The funeral services were
held in the Masonic temple. This
enraged the anti-Masonic populace, who
attacked the building. The mob then set
the building on fire and it burned to the
ground. During the riot seven persons
were injured. There was no attack upon
or demonstrations Of any kind against the
American consulate.

Asks for Martial Law.

Asks for Martial Law.
WASHINGTON CrrY. April s.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has received a detailed report
from Agent Bennett on the present troubles
between factions in the Choctaw nation.
The agent says he is convinced tnat tho
militia, acting under Gov. Jones' orders,
were the aggressors. In view of this fact.
he strongly urges that tho nation be
placed under martial Law. Secretary
Smith, acting under authority of
the treaty Of 1865, which pro-
vides that '.the United States shall
protect the Choctavs and Chickasaws
from domestic strife" requested the secre-
tary of war at once to send a detachment
of troops to the scene of the threatened
trouble to maintain the peace and protect
life and property.
PARIS. Tex, April s.-There is no change
in the state of the Choctaw war. The
militia is at Goodiand, apparently making
no move. but they keep pickets out as If
they expected an attack. Locke received Q
case of new Winchesters this morning,
and from this it is inferred that he is be-
ing reinforced. Some seem to think the
militia has set down TO starve Locke out.
