Nashville, May 1.-THE mysterious and
wholesale poisoning of an entire compa-
nv of the fire apartment at their head
quarters in South Nashville, and of a
number of citizens living in the neigh
borhood, was the cause of profound
sensation here yesterday.
The poison was administered through
ice water kept in the engine house. A
number of citizens who stepped in for q
drink while passing were seized with
the same symptoms. Physicians were
called, and an analysis of the water re-
vealed the presence of arsenic. Most of
the victims have been in measure re-
lieved, but Others are lying at their
homes in a serious condition. There
is no clue to the perpetrator.

American missionaries Excluded.

London, May 17-Referring to the
Spanish governments decision to indem-
nifty an American missionary in the sum
of 1900 pounds in gold for his unlaw-
full expulsion from the Caroline Islands
on the occasion of Spain annexation of
those islands, the Madrid correspondent
of the Standard says: "Spa1n still re-
fuses to allow Protestant missionaries to
return to Ponape on the pretext that
they aided the natives to resist the Span
ish occupation and the Augustine Cath
Ole missions from Manila, both of
which only began 35 years after the
Protestant missions had been estab-
lished in the Carolines and hadsconverted
and civilized thousands of natives,
who have since been frequently in arms
against their new masters"

DUNRAvEN AFTER THE CUP.
He Issues Challenge and Is Building
New Valkyrie.

New York, Dec. s-Lord Dunraven's
letter and challenge for the Americas cup
was posted on the bulletin board of the
New York Yacht Club few minutes be-
fore midnight tonight. The challenge is
virtually the same as that sent by Lord
Dunraven in 1892 The new yacht will
bear the same name as the last challen-
ger, "Valkyrie," which was defeated by
the Vigilant in October, 1898, and after
wards went to the bottom of the Clyde
Lord Dunraven's new boat will be a cutter
eighty-nine feet on the load water line,
or practically the largest single sticker
which can compete for the cup under the
terms of the deed of gift. In all proba-
bility she will differ but slightly in her
lines from those of th5 old Nalkyrie.
Lord DunraVen, in his letter, suggests
several slight changes in the rules from
those which governed the last contest
but he does not insist upon any positive
changes. He asks that the ten months
notice rule be waived, so that the races
may be sailed earlier than October, and
prefers the one gun start. He also asks
that all windward and leeward races he
started to windward. No member of the
cup committee was present this evening
when Lord Dunraven's letter reached the
club house, and no official opinion is OBJ
tainable, but there is no question as to
the acceptance of the challenge by the
cup committee when they meet.

WAGES Ar FALL RIVER.
The Spinners and Weavers Dissatisfied
With the Present Rates.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. SIN his call
for a general meeting of the Spinners AS
ISOLATION next Wednesday Secretary How
ard says that since the starting up of the
mills at the conclusion of the strike there
has been continual complaint made to the
committee of low wages. 1t is contended
by the members of the union from many
of the mills that the late cut down in
wages of 5 per cent. has made more than
10 per cent. difference in their weekly
wages. IF this is so,' says the secre-
tary. why not come to the meeting and
discuss these question and strike out
line of action that will raise your wages
to where they ought to be. Trade is IN a
fairly fourishing condition at the present
time. Stocks are appreciating in value,
and goods are contracted for well ahead
at prices which are sure to return good
dividends to stocL holders. The margin
between eight pounds of cotton and forty
five yards of print cloth at present quo
tations is about rs cents. Fifteen per
cent. higher wages have been paid and
good dividends made on a considerably
less margin of profit than is being made
at the present quotation.
The secretary of the weavers union in
his call notes the hourishing condition of
business and says; with these facts in
view. we see no reason why the recent
reduction in wages should not be re-
