THAT ORDER.

For something like thirty days the rail-
road companies whose tracks cross these OF
the electric and cable street railways are
at liberty to disregard the order OF the
Commissioners requiring that all trains shall
come to fun stop before crossing any of
the latter. These thirty days of grace are
owing to a requirement which oblgates the
Commissioners TO give such notice before
their order can take effect. So far the
publicha not been advised that the raiIruad
authorities directly concerned have is
sued any instructions looking 10 a com-
pliance with the Commissioners directions,
and as cheerful obedience To orders is not
one of their virtues, IL may be supposed that
they Will take advantage of the full term
of the notice.
or course everybody will hope that In
the interim between the notice and the
going -into-effect OF the order no accident
will happen al these crossings to harass the
public mind but inasmuch as no guarantee
can he given against such occurrences there
will be more or less anxiety until the legal
period of grace has expired. When that day
arrives, however, there should be no further
teIuporiZiDg with the railroad companies.
People have become accustomed TO long
seasons of excuses and Subterfuges when
anything is in prospect that goes counter TO
the interests sorconvrnience of these corpora
tions. II may be assumed, however, hat
the Commissioners will not permit any
evasion Of their order, for both the patience
and the nerves OF the public have been suf-
ficiently tried.
There must be more protection for the
local travelling public. A man should not
be troubled with the thought every time
he enters 4 street car that he has no ac-
cident insurance policy or that the amount Of
his life insurance is not sufficiently large.

MarIborough'S Moan.

I'm a Duke, with capital "D,
Though / haven't much capital yet;
But the "plebs" on this side OF the sea
Both my rank and my title forget
I've been treated with gross disrespect
By the niinions who represent law,
And reporters attempt to detect
In my conduct some critical flaw.
They've mistaken me twice for my man,
And a green room" guard gave me q
roast;
Then bobby" in Central Park ran
To arrest ME for trying to ''coast."
I'm as good as the average Duke;
can put up my dukes in fight,
And there's none who can say that I'd
fluke,
Yet find am left when I'm right
Though to be a good boy have tried,
Still / seem to be left in the lurch,
And, perhaps, ere the nuptial knots tied
They may hustle me out of the church.

Indianapolis, Nov 3.-It is highly prob

Mr. Harrison will move early for the dis
placement of Chairman Carter, of the ma

NEGLECTED STREETS.

The superintendent of street cleaning
complains that certain badly paved streets
have TO go " i,LUut being thoroughly swept,
because the sweeping machines cannot do
thofough work ON the rough rubblc or
cobblc stone pavements. There is accord
ing 10 his statement, only a little over two
hundred thousand square yards of suchpave-
ment, and the bulk of this in tie vicinity
OF the Center Market. The " orst Of it all
is that just these streets are cunlbered
with more litter than any other i'll the
city.
II smooth pavements were provided for
these thoroughfares the heavy sw eepins
machines could he used with good effect,
and not only cleanliness but health promoted
thereby Good Belgian blocks laid On a
solid foundation and the intorst!ces filled
with tar would make solid street, on
which not only the street sweeper could
work its will. but which would not give
way under the wear and tear of trains
of heavily loaded market and other agons,
hundreds OF which oongregate about there
every day. The same conditions prevail
and ought TO be remedied along and about
the farmers market and yet further W est
along Ohio avenue.
No money is better spent than that given
for the sweeping of the city's streets and
alleys, and in whatever other direction
economy is practiced it should not lie here.
In order that all may be thus benefited and
that neither the unsightliness of unswept
streets may offend the people, nor their
unsanitary condition be source of danger
it W ould be wellif the Commissioners could
see their way clear to set aside an amount
sufficient to put good pavements ON at
least a portion of these neglected areas

STATE OF WAR DECLARED.
Official Reports Indicate That
the Uprising in Cuba
Is Serious.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Minis-
ter Muragua, of Spain, tonight said
that he had received a dispatch
from Key West, Fla, announcing
that a party Of filibusters had Or
ganized there and was about to
start for Cuba to stir up a reVolu-
ton in the island. The minister's
dispatch said that the United States
revenue cutter which is usually on
duty at Key West was absent from
this port and there was no force on
hand to prevent the threatened IN
vasion. The dispatch gave no par
ticulars as to the strength of the
party or the vessel or vessels it had
secured to take it to Cuba. The eX-
act time of it's starting was appar-
emily unknown but it was expected
to start soon. Discussing the mat
ter tonight Senior Muragua said:
1.-The report that there is a revolu-
ton in Cuba is untrue. There have
been only two or three unimDortant
outbreaks. The insurrectionists
have no organization and no leaders
and can do nothing. AS matter of
course, their friends in this country
and elsewhere gave out misleading
reports in the hope of strengthen
ing their cause. 1 very much regret
the absence of the United States
revenue cutter which should be at
Key West and could easily prevent
an invasion of Cuba from American
soil. The distance from Key West
to Cuba is very short and can be
traversed very quickly"
STATE OF WAR DECLARED.

Santiago de Cuba and Matanzas,
which began Feb. "a, the govern
ment has issued a proclamation de-
claring those provinces in a state Of
war, the civil authorities continu-
ing in the exercise of their func-
lions. He also offers full pardons
to all insurgents who submit to legal
authorities within eight days. The
rest of the island is reported tran

ties have given support to the gov
eminent.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-George E.
Warning, commissioner of street clean
ing, some days ago received a letter
from District Assembly No. 40, K. of
L., telling him of the resolutions
adopted by the Knights of Labor, call
ing on Mayor Strong to remove the
commissioner from office. To this let
ter Commissioner Warning today sent
the following reply:
"As various bodies of Knights and
others seem likely to be recurring to
the subject it might be settled as we'll
now as at any other time. l regard
your organization as being an anti
labor organization, opposed to work
ingmen and opposed to work; an asso-
citation carried on in the interest of
idleness. l believe its chief cause of
existence to be that you leaders may
earn your salaries by making mis-
chief l shall therefore oppose every
movement emanating from you with
which my official work brings me in
contact until I see some evidence on
the part of the Knights of Labor
unions of an interest in the working
men and in the industrial interests of
the community.
II have no opposition to the employ
ment of citizens, but 1 am opposed to
the infection Of burdens on working
men and their cost to the people that
the Infamous conduct Of organized
labor has caused"

FRANCE CALLED DOWN.
NO INTERFERENCE IN SAN Do
MINGO ALLOWABLE.
NOTIFIED BY GRESHAM.
Action Having Important Bear
ing on American Interests
in South America.

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa question
has recently arisen for the determi-
nation of the state department, affect
ing the relations of the United States
with all of the countries of Central
and South America and the independ-
ent republics of the West Indies. Sew
eral years ago the president of Santo
Domingo forcibly entered the premises
of French bank there and took from
the vaults a considerable sum of
money, which he alleged to be owing
him.
The matter being reported to the
French government, a formal demand
was made for restoration, which was
refused. The French government in
dicated a purpose of sending some
war vessels to Santo Domingo to en-
force a collection. The Dominican gov
eminent being in financial straits in
1858 made an arrangement with the
firm of Westendorp & Co., bankers, of
Amsterdam, for q loan of $4,000 to
take up the internal and foreign debt
of the republic. To insure payment
the Amsterdam company was given
the right to collect directly the re-
ceipts from all of the Dominican Gus
tom houses. In 1890 this loan was con-
siderably extended for the purpose Of
building a railroad In 1892 Westendorp
& Co. transferred all of their rights
to an American company, chartered in
New Jersey under the name of 1.-THE
San Domingo Improvement Company
of New York" the. leading spirit of
which was Smith Weed. It is this
~, hoc 10 !,
front in opposition to the execution of
the French programme of a forcible
collection of the indemnity claim by
it. The case is further complicated by
the fact that the bonds of the Dominf-
can government are largely held in
Holland, Belgium, England, as we'll as
in the United States and France.
The Dominican government has ia
ken no direct action in the matter, al
though the Dominican charge, Mr.
Gill, has accompanied Mr.. Smith Weed
to see Secretary Gresham. The secre-
tary has been impressed with the just
ness of Mr.. Weeds claims and about
two weeks ago he cabled to Eustis, our
ambassador to France, and instructed
him to inform the French government
that the United States could not look
with Indifference upon it's proposed
action.
The incident acquires additional i'm
portance from the fact that several
of the small republics of Central and
South America have recently default
ed in the payment of interests upon
the foreign debts mostly held in
Europe, and if the United States is
committed to the assertion of a right

Congressman Wilson Said to

WASHINGTON, Feb: 27.-Post-
master General Bissell late this af-
ternoon placed his resignation in
the hands of President Cleveland, to
be accepted upon the appointment
Of his successor. Though the ru-
mors of the coming retirement of
Mr.. Bissell have been rife for some
time, the official announcement,
when it was made this evening,
caused something of a sensation.
The statements which have been
made that a disagreement between
the president and Mr.. Bissell caused
the resignation were known by al
most all in official circles to be with
out the slightest foundation, and
therefore the usual interest and Cos
sip which usually attaches to the
retirement of a cabinet official was
entirely lacking in this case, as it
was conceded by all that only the
personal desire of Mr.. Bissell to re-
sumo his lucrative law practice ac-
tuated him in taking the step which

SAVANNAH EXCITED.
STRAIN CAUSED BY SLATTERY's
SPEECH CONTINUES.
QUESTION OF FREE SPEECH.
Refusal to Allow the EX-Nun to
Speak Prevents Further
Outbreak.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Feb. N.-There has
been little work in the business portion
of Savannah 1t has been a day of
ment. One thing only has been talked
Of and that the principle iof free
speech Slattery has been almost lost
sight of as an individual. 1t has
ceased to be a case of an eX-prieSt de-
string to lecture, and has become, IN
the minds of many, a question for the
preservation of the right of free speech
in Savannah.
Mrs. Slattery was booked to lecture
at Masonic temple this afternoon. At
l o'clock this afternoon, under the eS-
cort of the chief and lieutenant of po-
lice, four mounted and twelve foot po-
licemen, they We're taken to Masonic
hall. Prior to this the managers of
the Mems Hebrew association had 10
titled .Slattery that they would break
the contract and refuse to allow the use
of the hall which they have leased, as
his language melted to riot. Slattery
would not consider the contract broken.
Arriving at the hall, the police refused
to admit any one. Several hundred
women were turned away.
Slattery and President Haas. of the
Hebrew association, became involved
in a wordy dispute and the chief of
police put Slattery under arrest, but
released him, as Haas declined to enter
any charge. After Slattery had wait
ed an hour for a lawyer he and his
wife went back to the hotel, escorted
by the police When the Pulaski house
was reached it was almost impossible
to see the hotel for the people who
had congregated.
Finding the hall locked many called
at the hotel. There Mrs. Slattery held
a reception. Hundreds called on her,
some rendered her the use of their
parlors at home to lecture in.
Slattery is making arrangements to
lecture at Odd Fellows hall tomorrow
night. The entire police force will be
on hand and some of the military COM
panies will probably be held in readi-
ness at their armories.

then marched into the cab and forced
the engineer to run along half mile.
Here they compelled Express Mes
senger Harris to open his door and
safe. There was no money but the
robbers took the express messengers
pistol. They then shot away the head
light and ordered the engineer to back
his train. In doing SO the engine col
lided with the rest of the train, wreck
ing the bumpers, but not injuring any
of the passengers.
The sheriff is out with bloodhounds
trying to run down the robbers. The

TRYING TO HELP REED.
HeatwoIe Will Seek to Make Good
His Campaign Promises.
SpaoiaJ tO tho Globe


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Ever
since Congressman-elect Heatwole
made his appearance here his atti-
tude on the question of organizing
the next house has been a mystery
to his colleagues. He was finally per-
Suaded to go into a conference yes
terday, at which Messrs. Tawney and
Fletcher were made a steering COM
mittee. This action evidently dis
pleased Heatwole, because he today
started out to work on his own
hook. He wants Capt. A. H. Reed
made assistant sergeant-at-arms of
the house, but under the Tawney
plan no such position can be secured
for Minnesota.
Heatwole left for New York today,
and will go from there home. Before
he left he gave his colleagues to I'M
derstand that he considered them
bound to help fix Capt. Reed in
good place. This they will not con-
sent to do, although it is alleged
that all their names are attached to
a paper held by Capt. Reed, in which
he was promised something good in
case he pulled out in favor of Heat
wole in the late campaign. The
Third district man is very much in
earnest in his campaign. in behalf
of Reed, and proposes to land him
in the office of assistant sergeant-at-
arms if it'can be done, regardless of
the plans formulated by Congress
man Tawney and Uncle Loren.
