BRIEF NOTES

It's an ill-wind that blows nobody
good. These northern zephyrs have kept
the Cinnamon well supplied with tule
bugs.
The application for Chinese registration
in the Fourth Revenue District number
thus far 14,020, of which 9,2Sl have been
issued.
The internal revenue collections for
March in this district amounted to S20,-
36l "a. There are now in the Government
warehouses 733, OIL gallons of brandy.
A new Court of Foresters OF America
has been organized in this city, to be
known as Court Concordia. Its "work"
will be conducted in the German lam
guage.
An error crept in the Protestant Orphan
Asylum report yesterday. The statement
was made that but one child had died
during the year, whereas it should have
read mot" one.
1t looks very much as if the season has
come when stylish girls in the suburbs
who sometimes walk across street-cross-
ings on their heels will be freed from that
ungraceful practice.
Between the melting of the snow and
the north wind driving the water down
from the overfiowed basins, the river
rose yesterday to % feet inches, one inch
higher than the day before.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Major Butterworth Makes a Great
Effort in Favor of Defendant.
WAsHIN GToN, April 12.-Ths defense
of Colonel Breckinridge whick Major
Butterworth made to-day is considered
even by his opponents to have been one
of the greatest speeches ever made in
Washington court. It was effective az a
masterpiece of oratory, and was mado
largely so by the winning personality Of
the speaker. Mr.. Butterwortb was per-
suasive. dramatic, friendly, oonc:iiatory
and artful. For nearly nine hours Major
Butterworth carried on the speaking in
the great case. He con;ured by stG name
OF mother, the freside and American
womsnhood most effectively, making it
appear that all of these forces were en-
listed on the side Of his client. Through
all the speaking the white-haired MEM
ber of Congress from Kentucky sat fac
ing the jury, much of the time with bis
face shaded by his hands, occasionally
nodding assent to the points mentioned
by the speaker. The slender plaintiff has
heard none of the denunciations of her
self, and her attorneys have sat smiling
throughout the onset of the opposition.
Judge Wilson will consume the greater
part of two days, commencing tomorrow,
with his speech for the plaintiff.

Riotous Demonstrations of Antf-Catho-
lies at Valencia.
VALENCIA, April 12.-The Spanish pill
grimage to Rome was made the occasion
last night for demonstration here against
the Pope. Fourteen hundred pilgrims
started from Madrid yesterday, after the
holding of imposing ceremonies in the
Church of San Jose, and, according to
the programme, they were to be met here
by a number of others of the faithful
who desired to visit Rome and make their
obeisance to the Pope. Last night a band
composed of about 400 of the worst ele-
ment of the city paraded the streets cheer
ing for Carl baldi and Italian unity, and
shouted: death to the pilgrims.'
The police ordered the mob to disperse
and were met with a flat refusal, where
upon 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 riotous mob again assem- bled
in the streets and proceeding to the quar-
ters temporarily occupied by the church
dignitaries, hurled the most offensive and
insulting epithets at them. So threat
ening did the situation become that the
pilgrims were obliged to hasten their
embarkatlOn.
They were accompanied by strong
escort of the Civil Guard. but this did not
deter the mob from attempting to assault
them. The church prelates seemed to
drive the mob to frenzy, and amid the
most insulting cries the rioters tried to
reach them. Again and again the Civil
Guard were obliged to charge the mob be-
fore the pilgrims reached their point OF
departure. Once there the escort formed
a Gordon and held the rioters at bay until
the pilgrims were well out of danger.
Then determined charge was made on
the mob, which, after short resistance,
disDersed.

BERLIN, April IA 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 substitute, who
led an expedition against the natives,
issued an order to his subordinates di-
recting them TO cut the throats of all the
old women who fell into their hands. The
other natives who were so unfortunate as
to be captured were conveyed on ship
board, where they were bound to he rail
of the vessel. The thongs that held them
were so tight that in many instances
when the flesh began to swell they cut
deep into the arms and legs of the prison
ers. No attention was paid to the appeals
of the miserable natives. They were en-
tlrely unprotected from the weather, and
exposed as they were to the tropical heat,
their wounds festered and then they bred
maggots. Appeals of the miserable
wretches for water 10 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 without compunctlon.
