leaves very little more to be said OF
the absurd Hawaiian filibuster

which represents a couple of pirates

is close to the hands of the pair and
one fondles a rifle while the other
holds the oars and smokes corncob

words: "San Francisco papers are

A PROFESSIONAL INCENDIARY
Confession OF New York Fire Bug That
Involves Others
The Bladder System said to Have Been Sue
cessfuily Worked in 7any 1etro-
politan Stores

NEM Y>ORk. May 3l.--Morrs Schoeh-

has made statement to the police
which will probably result in the arrest
Of dozen or more insurance adjusters.
1t is alleged that Schoenholz confessed
to firing at least half dozen houses in
this city and Brooklyn by prearrangemept
for the insurance. One "iire" in Yonk
ers was all prepared and ready when it
was prevented by accident. The fires
that panned out were all set with benzine
on the bladder plan. THIS plan is as
simp as it is effective.
The doomed store or flat is sprinkled
with alcohol and bladder filled with
infanmable stuff is suspe .ided from the
ceiling. Then it is set on fire. and when
the flames reach the bladder there is an
explosion which destroys the property
and every vestige OF the manner in which
the fire was set at the same time. A
similar result is obtained by turning on
all the gas and letting one Jet burn.
The explosion point is reached in due
time. These are the flash fires that SO
long puzzled police and firemen. Morris
Schoenhclz WAS the expert who did the
business. but was himself simply the
tool Of gang OF fire adjusters.

The Claim OF Colombia Against
Uncle Sam
\ BLUNDER OF HARRISON
A Proclamation That Lost the Republic
Many Pesos
Heavy Damages for the Work Of
Treaty

WASHINGTON, May 3l.--General Reg
nifo, the representative here of the re-
public of Colombia, erxpects to be auth
orized by his government to present
claim against the United States for dam
ages sustained by Colombia by the reason
of President Harrison proclamation OF
tariff retaliation.
Secretary Blaine effected reciprocity
treaties with most of the South and Cen
trail American republics, but Colombia
and few other countries refused to make
such treaties. They were warned that if
they held out against reciprocity they
would be retaliated against.
This failed to effect any agreement.
Thereupon. at the suggestion of Secretary
of State John w. Foster who had sue
ceeded Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Harrison pro-
claimed discriminating tariff rates
against hides, coffee sugar and molasses
of Colombia. This practically ruined the
trade of Colombia, as her coffee and hides
could not be sent to this country against
the competition of Brazil, Mexico and
other countries, which enjoyed freedom
from duties under the reciprocity treat
les. These exports to the United States
reached about 5000. 600 pesos. a peso being

after the proclamation they fell to almost
nothing. Colobma protested against
the retaliation, claiming the most favored
nation clause OF the treaty with the
United States protected her against the
tariff discrimination.
Secretary Foster and the Colombia min
lister, Senior Hurtado, carried on a sharp
and very personal correspondence, and
the minister finally left Washington with
the statement that ne would not return
until settlement was effected. No set
tlement was ever made and the sub
mission of Coiombia's claim for loss and
damage sustained will be the result.
