FOR HONEST WEIGHT IN COAL.
Dealers Opposed to GIenson's Dill
md HIVE n Substitute.

President j. S. Smoot. of the Retail
Coal Exchange, has issued a call for an
meeting tonight at which the
Spring price-list will probably he made
up. The Board Of Trustees has decided
that 4 systematic effort should b. made
to put the retail market in "A more pros
porous condition. At present there is IA
deal of grumbllng among householders
over aging the Winter prices and they
are holding back until the Spring
schedule Is adopted.
Despite the fact that In the call 1t Is
stated that the weight question has been
settled to the satisfaction of all by the
rejection of all plans and the approval
OF the Gleason bill now before the Legls-
lature the question Is by no means dis
posed of according to many members
who term themselves the reform element.
Secretary Jeremiah Pangburn. jr., of
COS Greenwich street. said to-day: 1T is
impossible for honest dealers to com
pete with dishonest ones who are enabled
10 cut prices because they give under
weights. The Gleason bill does NOT fill
the want. 1t fails to make II compulsory
that all dealers wagons carrying coal
must be subjected to inspection. The
honest dealers will bring forward some
other plan looking to full instead of
short weight"

PEDDLER'S QUEER SUICIDE.
Was Strnngllng Himself While in
an Indianapolis Hospital.

Hy Associated Press.)
INDIANAPOLIS, March 16.-Clinton
Cooper, a peddler, died at the hospital
last night. and his death developed a
strange method Of self-destruction. He
was found i'll in his room and sent to
the hospital, where he was found to be
in n low state Of vitality. but no ap-
parent cause existed for it. He was con-
scious, but refused to talk. and he swal-
lowed medicine with great difficulty.
He got no relief from the treatment.
and 1t soon became apparent that he
could live only a few hours. When taken
to the hospital he had a handkerchief
was removed by an attendant Just bes
fore he died.
Underneath the handkerchief. and al
most buried in his neck, was a small
cord, and 1t dawned upon the authorities
that he had been slowly dying from
strangulatioh ever since he was found
at his clearinghouse, There is no
doubt that he tied the cord himself and
that he chose this method to kill him
self.

Berlin. April pa weekly journal
publishes extracts from the diary of a
German resident of the Cameroons,
which fully bears out the charges that
have been made against certain of the
German officials in that country.
The diary contains entries showing
that Herr Wehlan, the governors sub
stitute, who led an expedition against
the natives, issued an order to his sub
ordinates directing them to cut the
Threats of all the old women who fell
into their hands.
The other natives who were so I'M
fortunate as to be captured were con-
veyed on ship board, where they were
bound to the rail of the vessel. The
thongs that held them were so tight
that in many instances when the sea
began to swell it cut deep into the arms
and legs of the prisoners. No atten-
ton was paid to the appeals of the
miserable natives.
They were entirely unprotected from
the weather and exposed as they were
to the tropical heat their wounds
festered and then they bred maggots.
The appeals of the miserable wretches
for water to quench their thirst fell on
deaf ears or else were responded to
with brutal refusal.
The full details of the treatment of
these captives are horrible. When the
prisoners were half dead they were
simply shot down like wild beasts with
out conjunction.

AGAINST THE POPE.
Spaniards Make Most Violent Dem
OnStratiOnS.

OnStratiOnS.
Valencia, April 12-The Spanish pill
grimage to Rome was made the occa-
sion last night for demonstration here
against the pope.
Fourteen hundred pilgrims started
from Madrid yesterday after the hold
ing of imposing ceremonies in the
church of San Jose, and according to
the programme they were to be met
by a number of other faithful who
desired TO visit Rome and make their
obeisance to the pope. Last night a
band composed of about 400 OF the
worst element of the city paraded the
streets cheering for Garibaldi and
Italian unity and shouting, death to
the pilgrims
The police ordered the mob to dis
perse, and were met with a fiat re-
fusal, whereupon a charge was made
upon the rioters that speedily put them
to flight.
Yesterday the pilgrims from Madrid
arrived. Accompanying them were the
archbishop of Seville, the bishops of
Madrid and Cadiz, and number of
other distinguished prelates. Shortly
before midnight last night riotous
mob again assembled in the streets and,
proceeding to the quarters temporarily
occupied by the church dignitaries,
hurled the most offensive and insulting
epithets at them So threatening did
the situation become that the pilgrims
were obliged to hasten their embarka-
ton.
They were accompanied by strong
escort of the civil guard but this did
not deter the mob from trying to as
sau1t them. The appearance of the
prelates seemed to drive the mob to
frenzy, and amidst the most insulting
cries the rioters tried to reach them.
Again and again the civil guard were
obliged to charge the mob before the
pilgrims reached their point of depart
ure Once there, the escort formed a
Gordon and held the rioters at bay un-
til the pilgrims were well out of danger.
Then a determined charge was made
on the mob, which after a short resis-
lance dispersed.

The Hon. Richard Buxton, replying
to a question as to whether the govern

question as to whether any condition

Canadian sealers, Mr. Buxton said
Canada had attached considerable inn
portance to the question of compansa-
ton of illegal seizures made during
past years, but as to that matter the
United States government had init
mated that so soon as legislation for the

BERING SEA BILL.
Read for the Second Time in the
House of Commons.

House of Commons.
London, April FIN the house of
lords today the Earl of Kimberly, in
moving the second reading of the Ber-
ing sea bill, reviewed the whole course
of the arbitration and expressed APP
prevail of the action of the Marquis of
Salisbury in submitting the question
to arbitration. The earl remarked that
a precedent had been established which
was of the greatest Importance and
expressed the belief that soon as the
legislation to carry out the provisions
of the award had been completed, a
convention would be entered into be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain with the object of settling the
claims arising out of the illegal seiz-
ure of British ships.
In making the award lawful the gov
eminent had fulfilled the obligations
imposed upon it and the bill now be-
fore the house would terminate this
controversy in a manner honorable to
both nations.
The Marquis of Salisbury expressed
the desire that the bill should be
passed as soon as possible. Regarding
the arrangements made for carrying
out the awards, the marquis ventured
the opinion that they We're not perfect
in all respects. but any points which
needed Improvement would be discov-
cred by experience.
The Boring sea bill was then read
for the second time.
