Undue Haste In Paying the Mora Claims
Alleged.
MADRID, Aug. l.-Republican and
Carlist senators and deputies have ad-
dressed protest to the government
against the payment Of the Mora claim
without the sanction of the cortes. The
protest declares that the governments
precipitancy in settling the claim of the
United States is unconstitutional and
humiliating upon Spain, and that the
conduct of the United States in taking
advantage of the Cuban insurrection to
press this claim is an exhibition of an
unfriendly disposition. The govern
ment has decided to pay the Mora
claim in three installments. 1t is the
intention afterwards to induce the
United States to recognize Spanish
claims for damages to property in
Florida OF citizens of the country,
which were incurred during the Civil
War in America.

ROWE A MEXICAN.

Extradition Of the Iowa Embezz!er Re-

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 1.-Foreign
Minister Mariscai has refused to grant
the extradition of Chester w. Rowe,
on the ground that, as Rowe is nat
uralized citizen of Mexico, he comes
under the clause of the extradition
treaty with the United States which
declares that neither the United States
nor Mexico is obliged to surrender its
own citizens. But Rowe gains nothing
by this decision, as he will now be
tried for his alleged offense under the
provisions of the penal code, which
says that certain offenses shall be pun
ished in accordance with the Mexican
laws, whether the accused person is a
Mexican or foreigner. Probably his
brother can ba> extradited.

Although the Republican National

its probable platform and candidates.
The silver question is the unknown

parties that the silver men will be strong
enough in the National Convention to
compel the insertion Of a silver plank OF
unmistakable meaning. At the present
time one party seems about IS likely to
dicker for the free coinage Of silver as the
other. But il the one that holds the first
convention declares for silver an effort
will be made to make the other declare
for gold. Under such conditions the

West. Meantime the financial problem

"what will the silver monometallists

To which the Salt Lake Tribune makes
the following pointed reply:

nometallists' in Kentucky will say about

we can say, in q very few words, what
the silver bimetallists here think about

such q demand as 9 conqueriug or tyran-
nous creditor would naturally make, the
purpose being to Cypress to the utmost
while preserving q nominal appearance

The exhibition Of nudity under various
pretexts and excuses seems to be gaining
in favor everywhere.
The telegraph informs us that Prof.
Eakin's lecture on "Artistic Anatomy"
al the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia
has created somewhat OF q stir. The
Professor exhibited a nude male model
before q mixed class, composed OF men
and women. Before exhibiting the nude
in man, Prof. Eakin notified bis class
that any woman who objected to the
model might retire. None did 30. A
formal complaint, after the lecture was
over, was made to the faculty OF the In
stitute. Professor Eskin's defense was
invulnerable. He stated that IL was
necessary to have the model nude.

women who are q little squeamish, or
overmodest, but il is not the young and
pretty ones"
