MADRID, Oct. 2. According to dis

SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.

Strong Resolutions Adopted by an Inn
mense Mass Meeting at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-As much of the
population of Chicago as could find
entrance to the anditoriums of the
Central Music hall and the Young
Mems Christian association buildings,
shouted itself hoarse in appreciation Of
a series Of resolutions in which the
United States government is asked to
recognize the Cubans as belligerents.
Such genuine enthusiasm has seldom
been witnessed in this city, and on no
occasion were words spoken by
men more full of the heart and
soul of the speakers. Mayor Swift
presided at the main meeting in
Central Music hall. while Judge Will
lam A. Vincent was chairman Of the
overflow meeting in the association
building. The 70 vice presidents who
occupied seats on the platforms were
chosen from among the
Leading Business Men Of the City
and each one Of them had previously
expressed himself as in full accord with
the object of the meetings. Before the
speaking began copies of kilograms from
a number Of gentlemen who could not
be present were read. The first of these
was from Governor Altgeld, and its
ringing words called forth cheer after
cheer. Other kilograms were from
Congressman Adams, Senator Wilkin-
son of Florida, and George r. Peck.
The representatives of the various or
CARNATIONS which had selected COM
mittees to cooperate in making the
meetings a success were distributed be-
tween the two. Among these were the
presidents, with committees, from the
following organizations: Loyal Legion,
Confederate Association, G. A. R.,
Naval Veterans, Society of the Sons of
the Revolution, Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor, % local labor Organiza-
tons and many other societies.
Prominent Cuban Present.
When Gonzales de Quesda, secretary
of the Cuban revolutionary party Of the
United States, and @. A. Zayas, another
prominent Cuban, stepped upon the
platform at Central Music hall the en-
thusiasm of the audience knew no
bounds, and it was some minutes before
order was restored.
The Rev. DIR. H. w. Thomas read the
resolutions, which were adopted as by
one mighty voice. The preamble was
as follows:
We, citizens of Chicago, have gath
cred to express our deep sympathy with
the Cubans in their brave struggle to
secure for themselves and their children
the blessings of independence, liberty
and self government. The resolutions
then condemn the heartless tyranny Of
Spanish rulers and urge citizens OF free
America to give emphatic expression to
their sympathy with the struggling
Cubans.

JOHNSON, THE BICYclIST.
Charged With Stearns Bicycle People Of Vic
Iating His Contract With Them.

Syracuse, N. Y, March 2s.-John S.
johnson, TIC well-known cyclist, was ar.
rested here, today, on injunction proceed
ings brought by 4. c. Stearns a. Co.,
makers of the Stearns bicycle, to prevent
him from leaving the country to ride in
France, as he meditates doing. and also
to prevent him from riding any other
wheel than the Stearns make.
The injunction paper states that John
son signed a contract with the Stearns
people, a short time ago, to ride the
Stearns wheel and no other between May
l and October /, 1895. 1t further states
that he has been secretly negotiating with
other firms, since he signed the contract
to ride their wheels ia Europe.
Johnson denies that he ever negotiated
with other firms and states The reason that
he wants to ride in France, is that he is a
professional and there is no professional
riding in this country. He is willing to
ride for Stearns & Co in France if they
will pay him enough, but they offer him
$1,000, while he asks $1,000
He acknowledges the contract, but states
that it was made while he was an anna
teur, before he had any thought of pro-
fessional racing If he stays with the
Stearns people under the contract he will
be idle, for he cannot ride in America
The contract stipulated that he should re-
ceive si00 month for his services from
May to October.

IT CAN BE COLLECTED.
All the Authorities Want Is Decision Thai
Income Tax Is Constitutional.

Washington, March 2S.-Treasury Off
Gals express no concern about their abil-
ity to collect the income tax should the
supreme court declare the law constitu-
tional The assessment of the tax by the
commissioner empowers the collector of
internal revenue to distrain the property.
and sell the same under such distraint for
taxes due, penalties. interest and costs at
tached. The assessment is equivalent to
an execution issued on a judgment in
court.
Should there be, f." said an official en-
tirely familiar with the law, "any general
movement not to pay the income tax. the
result would be to swell the receipts from
this source by $40, 600, 900 to sl2. 900, 900,
on account of the penalties attached. for
the reason that the tax can be collected
as easily as the whiskey tax The men
subject to the income tax as rule have
property in sight which can be distrained
upon"
The contention in some quarters that
the tax on the property of aliens cannot
be collected. because of its intangible
character, is pronounced untenable. II
the law operated in that way, its effect
would be to place aliens in a better posi-
ton than United States citizens There
will be no more difficulty in the one case
than in the other.

DOCIORlNG PAPER MONEY.
Counterieiters Are Ingeniously Raising ST
Bills to S10.

Omaha, March 2S.-Counterfeit bills
have appeared in Omaha showing that
sharpers know of some chemical that re-
moves the ink from the paper from which
greenbacks are manufactured without in
iuring the paper. Then the crooks put in
other figures, raising the amount tenfold.
The First National Bank received on Sat
urday one of the bills and another was
exhibited to the Merchants National
Bank teller. Both had come from retail
ers.
The bill at the First National is 81
treasury note, payable in coin, of the Sc
ries of 1896, and with the likeness of Stan
ton on one side. The other is a silver
certificate of the 1880 series, on which APP
pears the face of Martha Washington.
without the use of glass to follow the
ink stains in the fibre of the paper the on
~ manner in which the spurious bills can
be detected is by the vignettes on either
side This betrays its spurious origin,
but affords no protection except to ex-
perts, who are aware that these likenesses
do not appear on any bills Of the denomi-
nation of SO.
A secret service agent yesterday said an
alarming feature of the case is that chem
icals are being used by this gang to re-
move the figures in the original. The f.
bre of the paper In use is supposed to be
proof against this sort of manipulation.
Probably two dozen figures must be re-
moved in each bill handled and others
substituted.

THE GREEK EXCAVATIONS.
An Important Discovery Near the Field oil
Marathon.

New Haven, March 2S.-Prof. 4. d.
Seymour of Yale, chairman of the manag
ing committee of the American school al
Athens, has received details of an impor-
tant discovery by a party from the school
which bad been excavating at the ham
let of koukounari, on the slope of Pen
telicus, some two or three miles from the
field of Marthon and about IS miles from
Athens. Prof. r. b. Richardson of the
school had charge of the excavations,
which were suggested by finding two re
liefs of the bust period, and seeing some
marble blocks built into the walls of a
church and adjacent building.
During the first half hour of the work,
which lasted several days there was found
a stone bearing an inscription in double
columns lying face downward ON the sill
of a building older than a ruined church
on the site of which the excavation was
made. The whole left-hand side on the
surface is gone, but the width of the stone
is sure, and SO the number of letters can
be fixed for each line.
From its style of letters. the ortho-
graphy and the mention of an archon its
date can be put just after the middle of
the first century. Apparently it is a
sacrjfcial calendar From its mention of
places very close connection is estab-
lished with the Plain of Marathon. The
number of deitics il mentions is remark
able, and from one of the Incomplete
words upon it the inference is drawn that
it stood perhaps on the site of the demo
Hekale. The back of the stone is also
covered with letters, though, as yet, no
words can be made ont
The most reasonable construction makes
the stone apply to the tctrapolis OF the
Marathonian neighborhood, n part of its
inscription reading: This sacrifice is
offered the second year after the archon-
ship of Euboulos by the inhabitants of the
tetrapolis" Divinities, animals, and prices
make up large part of the inscription on
the stone, which Prof Richardson will
describe officially in the journal of the
school, after fuller investigation.
There We're also found in the excavation
three fragments of relcfs, two of them
showing good period of art. One was
part of seated figure, the other the
trunks of three standing ones. Beneath
the site of the church on tha surface were
found unfluted columns, and other re
mains of an older and much fine I'M
delaying church cdifice.
