OmciaI Statement Regarding tho Situ-
alton of the Switchmen.
CHICAGO, March 12.-An official denial
of an intended strike among the switch
men was made to-day. At a meeting of
the Grievance Committee of the Switch
mems Mutual Aid Association, delegates
representing every road centering in
Chicago declared that the switchmen
were either misrepresented or there is
apprehension as to their position.
After the meeting Grand Master Will
son declared that the men had not made
any demands on the roads, had no quar-
rel with the General Managers. and were
not looking for a labor disturbance. The
switchmen did make request for an in
crease of wages, but there is absolutely
no demand or arbitrary action by them.
In closing Wilson said: There will be
no strike of switchmen nor any trouble.

The Scourge Ravaging Many OF the

BERLIN, March 12.-According to
Russian letter received here cholera was
raging between December 26th and Janu-
airy 10th (old Style. There were $50 cases
in one province. The provinces princi-
pally affected have been Pedolil and To-
bolsk. The question of willful conceal
ment of the epidemic in Russia will
probably be brought up at the coming
sanitary conference in Dresden as a seri-
Gus international danger.
At present the cholera is ravaging four
teen southern and southwestern prov
inces. The epidemic is making rapid
progress. 1t is high time Europe should
occupy herself about this menacing
danger.

PHANTOM OF WAR.

Germany and Russia May Have Clash
at Army.
BERLIN, March I2.-Once again have
Caprivrs words in the Military Commis-
sion raised the phantom of war. They
left an unpleasant impression and caused
much astonishment at the Russian EN-
bassy. Coprivi, in order to emphasize
his reasons for strengthening the army,
said: 1--WE should be in position to
undertake Il winter campaign, because
then the Polish marshes are frozen oyer.u
This certainly looks like a direct threat
against Russia. Such words, which
might have been perfectly correct from
the mouth OF General. arouse a very
different feeling when coming from an
Imperial Chancellor.
OF course, the usual explanation was
forthcoming. He said the words wero
merely quoted from those of Won
Moltke, and were in reply to an assertion
by member OF tho commission that war
only broke out in winter. Caprivi re-
piled that war broke out at any time.
"But it is fair to say,'' he added, ''that
Germany does not mean to disturb the
peace. Therefore Germany cannot say
when war will break out"
1t is the same cry all the time of war,
with accompanying declarations of peace.
The reference to 4 winter campaign and
the Polish marshes will naturally once
again arouse the anger of the Panslavist
press, already so hostile to Germany. 1t
will once more ridicule Germany's pro-
fessions OF peace.
In this manner these Caprivian out
breaks produce unfortunate effects. It is
probable not intended. but at the same
time this constant rattling OF the sword,
which appears like patriotism to the
members of the commission, may have its
effects

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The session

ton of nominations from the President.
Within day or two following, however,
the committees will be appointed, and the
body will be in thorough working order,
SO far as the business for which it was

affecting such appointments as the Seua-
tors from Wyoming, Montana and Wash

doubtless be ready to make reports soon
after their credentials are taken up. As
the points involved are many. and the

that a debate will ensue in the Senate
upon the presentation OF the report of the

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

Cleveland May Favor Annexation, But
on Different Lines.
WASHINGTON, March IA gentleman
who is close to the administration declares
that message transmitting a Hawaiian
treaty of some kind will be sent to the
Senate during the present special session.
This gentleman, who is in position to
know, predicted further that the treaty
would be on annexation lines though
radically different in its terms from the
Harrison treaty. Features would be
added, he states, which will leave no pos
sible chance for sugar syndicates TO reap
any benefits and which will relieve the
United States from any financial respon-
sibilty for the support of the islands.
In other words the attitude of the ad-
ministration is not unfavorable to annex
alton, but it is opposed to the Harrison
treaty, it is said, because it is thought to
have been too hastily drawn and not full
and definite enough in its scope to prop
erly protect the intele ests of this Govern
ment.
In connection with the appointment of
a commission to visit Hawaii, Judge
Montgomery of Michigan is talked of as
q member.

ment published last Friday, he said ::
$50 far as 1t refers to Minister Stevens it
is absolutely false. He has not been un-
friendly to or tried TO embarrass
the Hawaiian Government. On the
other hand, his conduct was unusually
courteous toward the Queen and her rep
resentatives."
He said further: "I do not think it
would be advisable to send commission
to Hawaii. 1t would only delay our ne
gotiations. l do not see how the estab-
lishment of protectorate would aid us
any in solving the question. The trouble
is all international. The Queen will
never be restored to the throne. and the
movement in favor of the Princess as
ner successor Will, Inlnk, be futlle. All
those who understand the needs .of
Hawaii believe in annexation"
VIEWS OF CASTLE AND THURsToN.
WINCHENDoN (AIass.), March 1l-Will-
lam r. Castle and Lorin Thurston, two of
the Hawaiian Commissioners, were
guests of Joseph n. White at his estate
over Sunday. Rev. DIR. Foster invited
the two gentlemen to speak at the church
this evening, which they did to full
house. Mr.. Castle dwelt more particu-
larly upon the results of the early mis-
sionaries, and their labor and danger.
All they gained may all be lost if the
Queens powers continue, he said, as she
is known to be an idolator. Thurston
presented the annexation side of the
question, considering annexation much
more necessary than protectorate. By
annexation the United States would have
the responsibility and authority, when,
if there was only protectorate she would
have the responsibility, but no power,
which he considered very essential, as
other nations would claim right equal

CHICAGO, March 12.-S. z. Keyes,
watchman at the Worlds Fair grounds,
tonight fatally shot his wife and neigh
Dor, Mrs. Weir. He then turned the re-
volver against himself and inflicted
probably fatal wound in the breast.
Keyes came home drunk, and going into
the room where Mrs. Weir was nursing
his sick wife, created disturbance. Mrs.
Weir protested and Keyes chased her
from the room, firing two shots, both of
which took effect, as she fled. Mrs.
Keyes ran out of the room and Keyes
shot her in the left side. He then at
tempted suicide. There is a small chance
of his recovery, but both women will die.

sure to represent us at foreign courts,
and the truly honorable list is embel-
lshed by such names as Franklin, Ban
croft and Motley, Edward Everett, Bay
ard Taylor and Andrew Dickson White,
John Quincy Adams, Albert Gallatin
and James Russell Lowell.
Even the minor consular service has
been thought worthy of acceptance by
such men as Robert Dale Owen, Writ
Sykes, Bret Harte and scores of equal
rank, including the talented but unfor-
tunate author of ''Home, Sweet Home"
Hence appointments in the diplomatic
line by President Cleveland have been
scrutinized with unusual interest, for it
is conceded by men of all parties that
such places are outside OF so called civil
service rules and that a Democratic adj
ministration ought to be represented
abroad by Democrats.
The successor of Franklin and Wash
burne (the two bright particular stars of
our mission to France) excites special
interest, as he is the first full fledged
minister to any European court from
louisiana since the famous Pierre Soule
in 1855. There would seem special
fitness in sending q Louisiana man to
France, and Hon. James Biddle Eustis,
the new appointee, is native OF New
Orleans. born Aug. 81, 1884, and familiar
with the French language and literature.
The family, however, is of Puritan orr
gin. William Eustis was governor OF
Massachusetts, in 1929. His nephew
and private secretary, George Eustis,
born in Boston in 1896, went to New
Orleans in 1917 and obtained high rank
IS iurist, and the present ex-senator and
diplomat is his son. He served with hon.
or in the Confederate army and in the
Legislature, practiced law, was alto ney
general of the state, filled an unexpired
term in the United States senate In 1878
and was elected for the full term OF
1861, which he served with distinction.
It will be no light task for him to sus-
tain the traditional glory of the place,
for while it is true that our chief COM
plications have been with Great Britain,
yet, taking our history as whole, the
French mission has been the one OF
greatest brilliancy. 1t has been held by
such men as Thomas Jefferson, Gouver-
neur Morris, James Monroe, Charles {.
Pinckney, Albert Gallatin and others OF
almost equal note, but certainly no man
held it with greater dignity and success
than Elihu Benjamin Washburne. AS
the retiring diplomats in 1901 one by
one turned over their archives to him it
resulted that he was for nearly year
not only minister from the United
States, but for five German and other
powers and several minor principalities
and was at the same time confidential
adviser of the French government.
All these apparently irreconcilable
functions he performed with such skill
that France and Germany, differing in
all else, agreed in honoring him. The for
