MAY DE A SERIOUS MATTER.
The Purchase of Arms by the A. p. A.
Mt Toledo.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Feb. 23-It has developed
that the War Department question of the
local American Protective Association will
turn out to be more serious than suit in
Justices court for the payment of guns.
United States District Attorney Brins-
meade said: The matter has not been
brought to my attention yet, but if COM
plant is made l shall do my duty fully. Ii
men are SO foolish as to break the laws of
the United States they must suffer the con-
sequences"
Another attorney said: Il have just been
examining the statutes and find that men
organizing as armed bands for the purpose
of waging war on citizens of the United
States or the government itself, come under
the head of treason and conspiracy"
1t is generally understood that the matter
will be brought before the federal grand
jury and that a special sitting will probably
be called The case will be fully reported to
the Attorney General at Washington and
will be pushed to an issue at once. Catho-
lies and those who oppose the AP.A. for
other reasons have become aroused against
the order since the details of the gun. pur-
chases have been made public, and an effort
will be made to crush the society in this
city, where for two years they have held
the balance of political power. Some of the
city officials, including the mayor and police
commissioners are said to have been among
the number fearful of an uprising and mad
purchased rifles.
G. w. Ostrander, against whom the suit
was brought as treasurer admitted, in an
interview last night, that the different coun-
ellis of the city had ordered 1900 guns last
August.

ADVICE FROM LONDON.

Better Times Will Come.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The Times, comment
ing upon the financial ssituation in the
United States as influencing the possibility
of a revival of trade here, says: THE rem
edy is simple and commonplace. and,
summed in a single word, is economy. Pos
sibly it is not altogether a bad thing that
European capitalists were scared into a
shortening of supplies before the lookup
became even greater than 1T is. The Amer
leans are thrown back upon their own re-
sources, and will be compelled to face the
situation. Until their exports increase
they must be content to diminish their i'm
ports, whether for consumption or invest
ment. They had the bad luck to aggraVate
their own mistakes. 1t could not be fore
seen that their European bankers would
have such a knock-down blow as the Bar
ing collapse, and our own misfortulas have
probably been as effectual in stopping the
advances as any clear perception Of the
risks of increasing our loans to the United
States. Anyway, we must share the :n-
conveniences. 1t may at least be assumed
that both sides of the Atlantic have seen

London Journals on the Admiral's
Latest Act at Rio.
HIS 'UNWARRANFABLE INTERFERENCE"
Bourdin's Funeral in London Causes
Trouble.
GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The story cabled to
the press here that the commander of the
British squadron at Rio de Janeiro refused
to protect British merchant vessels in OBJ
tanning water is generally discredited, but
has aroused considerable feeling on the
subject.
The Telegraph urges the public to be eau
tious in accepting the story. 1t says: IF
it is consistent with neutrality to be hostile
the suggestion of President Peixoto that
the British should intervene implies the re-
lieving of the president of the task of
crushing the rebellion. Admiral Benham,"
the Telegraph goes on to say. has decided
to support the right of American vessels to
enter the port in spite of the blockade and
is determined to meet force with force If
needful. This is all very well from a spread
eagle standpoint. but blockade is block
ade and imposes hazardous difficulties.
Nevertheless, we commend Admiral Ben
ham for his obvious desire to limit the SUI
feringS of trade
The Globe this afternoon, referring to the
same subject, remarks:
III the news is true, 1t is the duty of
england to demand an immediate apology
for Admiral Benham's extraordinary con-
duct His action in giving protection to the
NaSmyth was an unwarranted interference.
Admiral Benham, no doubt is at perfect
liberty to bully the Brazilians as he
pleases. or as his superiors permit. but when
1t comes to Offering an injurious insult to
the British navy 1t is quite a different
matter. His whole action in regard to the
blockade would be described as 'bluver in
this country
The st. James Gazette says that it Is in
tensely irritating to be Informed that a
British ship had to seek the protection of
Americans, adding: surely Lord Rosebery
does not acquiesce in the so-called Monroe
doctrine that the sole right to interfere
belongs to the United States. We hope
that the action will not be allowed to pass
without protest"

FAMINE IN TEXAS THREATENED.
In Starr County No Crops Have Been
Harvested and Cattle Are Dying.

HOUSTON. Texas, Feb. Collaboration
comes from the Starr county section of the
state to the effect that a famine Is threat
ened there. Ninety per cent of all cattle,
horses and sheep are dead; no crops of any
kind have been raised or harvested during
the past year: great restitution and abso-
lutte want exists. Many are compelled to
subsist on roots prickly pears, &c Even
half putrid flesh that has been stripped
from the carcasseS of dead animals is eaten
to satisfy the pangs of hunger
Many persons, especially children, have
hardly sufficient clothing to cover their
nakedness. Resources are exhausted, and

longer assist their starving fellow creatures

SATURDAYS TWENTY-PAGE STAR,

ffODO0ed
the POle-Other Features.
Saturdays twenty-page Star will be an
exceptionally inviting number, containing
many special attractions. Among its lead
ing features will be the first authoritative
account of the plans of the arctic expedi-
ton projected by Mr.. Walter wellman, the
well-known correspondent. This exploring
party is soon to start on its way toward
the forbidding regions Of eternal ice
The plans made are thorough and novel,
and promise to add largely to the geo.
graphical knowledge of the polar regions
and Interestingly to arctic literature The
expedition is a Washington enterprise, and
The Star, believing that its progress and
achievements will be a matter in which
its readers will be deeply interested has
arranged with Mr.. Wellman for the ex-
elusive publication here of the narrative of
the progress and adv entures of the expedi-
ton as it approaches the pole.
Mr.. Wellman is a graphic writer, and 1t
is safe to predict that no arctic expedition
ever has yielded or ever will yield more
interesting reading than this one. With
journalistic foresight Mr. wellman has
planned to keep up a line Of communica-
ton with home until the party is well ad-
vanced into the ice fields. and so readers
of The Star will be able to keep the little
band of bold explorers in sight. so to
speak. until they disappear into the mys-
FERROUS region around the pole.
In addition to this The Saturday Star
will present a full array of interesting
Saturday reading. Its contents will in
clude the following:
