 he wanted done, and succeeded in keeping Fredericks in conversation for few min utes and then drove off. When the clerk returned to the store he found the show cases open and several trays, which cou- tained about S6000 worth of diamonds, emptied of their contents. The case was reported to the pOlice.

THE MEN WOULDN'T STAND IT.

WHITINsvILLE, Mass, March 23.-The East Douglass axe works of the American Axe and Tool company, syndicate of New York, closed their doors last night for an indeiinite period on account of the demand of their striking workmen. A cut of 15 per cent was made in wages March 4, making, it was claimed, a total cut of 35 per cent in twenty months. The force, with few ex- captions, stopped work then and have been out sincs. The syndicate said they would abide by their decision, and if the men wished to return to work they could, if not reduction, and would rather starve while loafing than while working. The syndi- cate will do the work that has been done at Douglass in other of its shops in Pennsvl- vania. The axe works and wooien mlIl, which employs less than twenty five hands. are the only industries of the town.

BAYS NEW FoUNDLAND, IS WANTED WITH CANADA-CoMMIssIoN INSTEAD.
 ST. JoHN's, N. F., March 23.-A public meeting last night under the auspices of the Anti Confederation league, which op- poses the plan for the union of Newfouud. land with Canada, was one of the most en- courfgipg meetings ever held here. Rsso- lutions were passed reques ting the colonial government not to send confederation dei- egates to Canada, but to ask, instead, for royal commission from England. The Ant.-Cc cnfs iteration league is evidently very strong, and the plan of sending a delega- ton to Ottawa decidedly very unpopular.
 However, popular clamor seems today to prove of no avail. In all probability the delegation which is already named will soon proceed to Ottawa. Premier Sir Will liam Whiteway is worry ill and cannot &C., company his colleagues in thu delegation when they leave Newfound. .aud, but in- tends following them when sufficiently re- covered.
 Besides the premier, the delegation. as named, will consist of Messrs. R Jbert Bond, George Emerson and Edward Nor ris. All the documents and other material will be ready for the delegates in time for the next Halifax steamer. Iuis understood that the government has not yet asked for the cooperation of the opposition as re- gards confederation, and is not likely to do SO.

ALL KINDS OF QUEER PETS.
Frogs, Owls and Cockroaches Trained by
 8 Maryland Scientist.

Frogs, Owls and Cockroaches Trained by
 Maryland Scientist.
 Harry c. Hopkins, one of the youngest members of the Maryland Academy of Science, has special fondness for ani- mals Among his earliest pets were three frogs, which he raised from tadpoles. They became so tame that they would rec ognize his voice and hop eagerly to him whenever they heard him speak. His next pets were five screech owls, which he kept in the garrett of his home. One of the owls, which he called Bob, became so &C., customed to his voice that it would screech back reply when he called and would haste to join MT. Hopkins in the lower rooms of tho house.
 MT. Hopkins had at other times rac- coons, opossums, foxes, white mice and white rats for pets. The latest pet in his collection was the most unique of them all and was perhaps the only pet of the kind ever heard of It was a roach-an ordinary brown roach-that ran out of his desk one day and took sip from drop of ink that had fallen on the desk. MT. Hopkins let the little creature indulge it. self undisturbed and one day induced 1t to take sip from the point of his pen. After that to tame the roach was an easy matter, and he soon had 1t so tame that 1t would como from its hiding place when called and would follow the pen over the paper while MT. Hopkins wrote.
 MT. Hopkins did not enjoy the society of his little pet long. A new servant, with a mania for cleaning up" and antipathy to reaches, saw the pet on the desk one day and killed it.-Baltimore Sun.

 WAsHINGToN. March 23.-As one result of the new Spanish cabinet 1t can be stated with almost absolute accuracy that Minis
 Muruaga will again tender his resigna- tion to the Spanish government. The>new ministry, under the leadership of Canovas, will be conservative in politics, while MT. Muruaga Is an ardent liberal. His recent resignation, which was not accepted. will be repealed, bat ID terms more urgent, and the only thing that will keep him aL his post will be an appeal from the government on the ground of patriotism and the imper- This would be such an indorsemeut Of all that he has done that it is said Minister Muruaga would be justified in remaining as the Spanish representative hers under party antagonistic to his own views.
 It was not believed here that Canovas would be able to organize ministry from civilians in view of the recent movement looking to the trial of citizens aud editors by court martial, proceeding which it is said even under SpaDish law is not justified under existing conditions. The feeling between the civilians and military was thought to be too strong to permffACanovas to meet with success. It has beeD pointed out in this connection that the constitu- tional rights guaranteed the people of Spain can be set asids in case of war only, insurrection or some other great contin- gency calling for the enforcement of mar tiaI law a contingency thatdoes not exist at the present. It IS believed, therefore, that as soon as he is notified of the new min istry Senor Murugua will reiterate his resignation and assist upon its acceptance.
