Secretary Of the Association Denies 1hoe
Such . Thing Exists.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-John F. Vic
tory, secretary Of the National Associa-
tion Of Letter Carriers, denies that a COM
bination OF postal employees has been
formed for the purpose of bringing pres
sure upon congress to overturn any rules
or regulations of the possofiice depart
ment, or for the purpose of lobbying
through congress legislation designed in
their interests. Victory made the follow
ing statement in behalf of those he repre-
sents:
THE only possible foundation the re-
port can have is in the fact that congress,
in its closing hours, modified q recent de-
partmental rule requiring that railway
postal clerks shall reside on the lines of
their runs. This was done by an amend
mcnt to the postOffice appropriation bill.
The department resented congressional
interference with what it considers it pre-
rogative by recalling all passes issued to
clerks on lines beyond their own runs.
This action was severely criticised by a
paper claiming to represent the railway
clerks, which advised the clerks to deal
directly with congress in the future in
all proposed legislation relating to their
: THAT postal employees should conspire
to demOralize the service in which they
are employed is preposterous. Postal en-
ployes in the future, as in the past, rely
ing on the justice of their claims, will re-
spectfully and persistently petition con-
gress They know, as most people should
know, that but little legislation is enacted
simply on its merits. If in exercising
their right of petition they are engaged in
a conspiracy then it can be said they have
been SO occupied for years in securing the
eight-hour law.
''The pOstofiice employees referred to are
the hardest workers and poorest paid Of
any of the governments servants. The
average salary of pOstoffice clerk is less
than 500 per month. There are those in
the service who receive only 800 per year.
The average salary of the letter carrier is
sSO7 and the average salary of railway
postal clerks is less than 81, ,O)O. The
right of postal employees to ask Uncle
Sam for an increase in their wages cannot
in these days be denied nor infringed
unOn."

BRITISH DEMAND ON NICARAGUA.
A Semi Onicial statement Regarding a
same-Americaus Not Barred.

~
A Semi OfnciaI Statement Regarding the
same-Amerscaus Not Barred.
The facts about the British demand on
Nicaragua are beginning to come out. A
cable from London says: "The following
semi-oflicial statement was obtained by
the Associated Press last night in regard
to the trouble between Great Britain and
Nicaragua: General Barrios, the Mica
raguan envoy, left London when the Brit
ish demands were made for compensation
in the sum of El5,UJO for the expulsion
from Bluciields OF Hatch, the British con-
sular agent there, and also for the ap-
pointment of "A commission to adjudicate
the damages sustained by the persons and
property of British subjects expelled from
the Mosquito reservation.
General Barriers, it is understood, has
since submitted the matter to the govern
ment OF the United States with the object
of enlisting sympathy and aid. The state
ment that Great Britain stipulated that
no citizen OF the United States should be
a member of the commission mentioned
is inaccurate. 1t is the opinion in diplo-
matte circles here that the demands of
Great Britain arc exceptionally small, and
the aggravation warranted even severer
measures"
Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British am
bassador and dean of the diplomatic
corps, wears a smile from the time he
opens his eyes in the morning to late at
night when he pulls his nightcap over his
eyes and lies down to pleasant dreams.
This comes of the statement that Great
Britain intends to collect from Nicaragua
the sum of S75. 900 for the expulsion of Mr..
Hatch last year, and has sent q warship
thither with the ostensiDle purpose of en-
forcing the collection. Should she at
| tempt to exercise force to obtain the pay
ment Of her claim, the bald-headed eagle
would emit few shrieks, and IL that did
not scare the British lion away the result
might be the ''bit of q scrap which Tim
Campbell thinks would work to our gen.
eral good
Sir Julian is a very nice gentleman He
| is courtly, afable, and modest to q adegree.
Moreover, he is a handsome man, his de.
cidedly English face, red as an apple and
adorned with a pair of white side whis
kers, insuring him attention wherever he
goes. He bears the burden of his respon
sibilities with an easy air. There is nc
doubt, however, that Secretary Gresham
| is the particular hero of the hour, made SC
by his demand on Spain for reparatior for
firing on the Allianca- Since its publica
ton he has been in daily receipt of con-
gratulatory kilograms and letters from ali
parts of the country. Some Of these have
made him smile. They have manifested q
decided spirit of war in the breasts of hi:
couutrymen.
| A statement is in circulation here thai
Senior Murugua, the Spanish minister
has cabled his resignation to his homs
government on account Of complications
arising from the Alliance affair, and tha
q reply has been received from Spain in
structing him to retain his official posi-
ton at Washington as the representative
of the Spanish government Ii has beer

WILL BE CRIPPLED FOR LIFE.
Husband Set . Trap Gun aud Did Not Tell
HIS Wi ifc.

SHELBYvILLE. Ind, March 22.-The
past few weeks thieves have been enter
ing the cellar of Calvin Ross, q promi-
nent citizen, and carrying off articles.
The entrance was made through a cellar
door in his woodshed. Ross determined
to set q trap. He loaded his shotgun and
tied a string to the trigger and placed the
hammer back, then attached the gun to
the cellar door in such manner that the
gun would be discharged into the body of
the person opening the cellar door. Ross
then made his exit through another door,
Mrs. Ross not being at home. When she
returned he forgot to mention the matter
to her. She went to open the cellar door
and an explosion followed. The gun had
been discharged, the contents taking ef-
feet in the woman's lower limbs, making
frightful wounds. She will be crippled
for life.

Frances Bel Don Carlos has her studio
in the Burr block also. She originally
came from Denver, where she studied
from nature. A greet deal OF her work
is OF the western mountains and she has
caught the spirit Of the west in a pleas
ing manner. Lanscape painting is her
favorite work and she shows the most
aptitude for that style. She has failed
to take up with the new impressionist
school also. II with her painstaking
detail she would use a little of the free
dash that comes from this new school
her work would be more pleasieg. Dur
ing the art exhibit last winter she made
a copy OF the Harvesting scene in Utah
that is very faithful copy and pleasing
indeed. The canvasses she has in her
studio are mostly scenes from Colorado.

Miss Elizabeth futile, who has been
studying in Chicago for three years, will
return this summer. Her work has
been attracting attention in Chicago
recently. She does great deal Of clay
modelling also. HeI favorite work is fig
ure painting and she seems to be more
at home in that line Of work. Some of
the best things she has done have been
figures. The Arts, magazine in Chi
cago recently reproduced one of her
paintings that was remarkably clever and
true to life. There was a strength and
life-likeness about it that were refresh
ing after the namby PANTY sort Of work
that yOung artists usually turn out.
Miss Tuttle bids fair to be one of the
best artists Lincoln will have.
Alice L. RICHTER, the new instructor
in ole, water colors and pastels at the
university, is a clever artist and one
that will add greatly to the interests in
that line in the city. She has been
studying for some time under approved
masters and her work is showing orig
inality and splendid results. She likes
impressionism and does good work with
its aid.

munity. She has studied for number
of years. Within the last few years she
has studied under good instructors in
this country and was in Paris under q
famous master for a while. Mrs. Can
field is an impressionist. Her work
shows the effect of that school to great
extent. She loves to paint figures and
portraits and shows remarkable talent
in that line of work. The paintings Of

lor Garfield are true to life and show

and unusual scenes and makes them

GERMAN STATESMEN DISCLAIM

/ That American Cattle and Insurance Com
panies Are Not Fairly Treated in Ger
many.
! Berlin, December 9.-There was a
= large attendance in the Reichstag to-
day in view of this being the date for
the presentation Of the financial state
ment of Count Won POsadowsky-Weh
ner, Secretary of the Imperial Treas
ury. The Chancellor. Prince Hohen-
l0he, the Minister for War. Gen. Bron-
sart Won ScEellendorf. and the Minis
ter Of Finance, DR.. MIGUEL, and other
ministers were present.
At the opening Of the proceedings the
House adopted a proposal to stop the
prosecutions of Herren Liebknecht
Stadthagen. Bueb. Herschel. Fischer
ard Heinrich Moeller. The Conserya-
tivcs opposed the motion.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Freiherr Marschall Won Bieberstoin
made statement concerning President
Cleyeland's recent message to Congress.
He denied that there was any differen-
tial treatment in Germany of Ameri-
can cattle and insurance companies
and urged the House not to be intimi-
dated by threats of reprisals.
The Secretary for the Treasury sta
ted that the federal States for the cur
rent year might reckon upon 10000 600
marks over the estimates, in direct
revenue. He added that he also eX-
pected to show an increase Of 81 100000
marks compared with last year. Herr
Fritzen. a member of the Centre party,
asked for a declaration upon the par-
of the government regarding the al
legged threatened reprisals against Ger
manys trade contained in President
Cleveland's recent message TO Congress.
I'm reply the Minister for Foreign AZ
fairs Freiherr Marschall Won Bieber-
stein. said:
The United States still treats Ger
man sugar the same as in 1894. in spite
of the fact that we have the most fa-
vored treaty. It is. therefore. surpris-
ing that President Cleveland should re-
proach Germany with treating Ameri-
can products differentially and Ameri-
can insurance companies veyatiOusly.
This is quite UnfOunded. The import
of American cattle and beef va prohib-
tied because Texas fever broke ont in
a consignment received here. 1t is our
duty TO show solcitude for the mainte-
nance of the condition OF German cat
tie and this duty can in no way be sub
ordinated to the politicO-commercial
interests of other countries.
similarly. there is no question Of
the diferential treatment of American
insurance companies. The regulations
are published by the Prussian Minis
ter for the Interior and are applied
equally to the home and foreign COM
panies."
