SPAIN wITHou! A CABINET.
Her Ministry Resigns rs a Result of Ell
GlOb0 Affair.

MADRID, March 18.-The Spanish
ministry has resigned in consequence OF
the trouble in the chamber of deputies
Saturday, when all the reporters with
drew from the house as protest against
the official defense made by the min
lister of war of the officers who attacked
and wrecked the offices of Ell Globo, the
organ of Senior CASTELAR,. 1t is probable
that Field Marshal Matinee Campos will
form new cabinet.
An explanation of the crisis is that
according to the military code those
who SANDER the army through the press
ought to be tried by courtmartial, when,
according to the press laws, such mat
tiers ought to To submitted to jury in
the supreme court. Despite this the
minister of war, conforming to the de-
sires expressed by the officers of the
garrison, proposed to the cabinet that a
courtmartial be summoned to try the
cases. A majority of the ministers, rep.
resenting the civil elements, opposed
this procedure. ,whereupon Prime Min
lister Sagasta declared that it was i'm
possible for him to continue longer in
Office.

t,HE SOFT ANSWER
THAT WILL PROBABLY TURN AWAY
cRESHAM'S WRATH.

1t Is Made by Spain in Regard to the
Firing Upon tho Alliance by Spanish
Guuboat-Assurauce That the Ofense
VIII Not BE Repeated.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The state
department has received q dispatch
from Minister Taylor at Madrid. The
Spanish government has given assur-
ance that there will be no more repe-
tition of such offenses as firing upon the
mail steamer Alliance. The reply OF
the Spanish government is couched in
courteous and temperate phrases, and
expressed the determination OF Spain to
avoid further cause for complaint on
the part of the government. AS to the
attempted detention of the Alliance, the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs says
he is as yet without information, and
adds that as soon as he shall have re-
ceived report from the captain general
of Cuba concerning that incident re-
ply will be made to the demand con-
tanned in Secretary Gresham's telegram.
State Department Silent.
While the officials of the state depart
ment are unwilling to say anything
whatever regarding the contents OF
Minister Taylor's cablegram, it is be-
Geved the foregoing is fairly accurate
Interpretation of the dispatch. 1t will
be noted that the Spanish government
promptly complies with one of the most
important of Secretary Gresham's de-
mands, which was for immediate as
surance" that the war vessels patroling
Cuban waters would not give further
offense in the matter complained OF in
the Alliance affair. AS to the other de-
mand made by Secretary Gresham that
the Spanish government would promptly
express it's regret for the attempted de-
tention of the Alliance, Minister Tay-
lor's dispatch indicates the willingness
Of the Madrid government to comply
Herewith in due time, should the facts
on investigation prove to be in accord
ance with the demands made by the
United States.

MUST APOLOGIZE.
Spain Called Down by Gresham for the
Alliance Affair,

Spain Called Down by Gresham for the
Alliance Affair.
MADRID, March 16.-The following
cablegram has been received here:
Taylor, Minister, Madrid: This de-
partment is informed that on the 9th
inst. the United States mail steamship
Alliance, on her homeward voyage
from Colon to New York, when six
miles from the coast of Cuba, off Cape
Maysi, was repeatedly fired upon by a
Spanish gunboat, with solid shot,
which. fortunately, fell short. The
windward passage where this occurred
is the natural and usual highway for
vessels plying between ports of the
United States and the Caribbean sea-
Through it several regular lines of
American mail and commercial steam
ers pass weekly, within sight of Cape
Maysi. They are we'll known and their
voyage embraces no Cuban port of call.
Forcible Interference
with them cannot be claimed as a bel
aigerent act, whether they pass within
three miles of the Cuban coast or not,
and can under no circumstances be toll
Grated when no state of war exists.
This government will expect prompt
disavowal of the unauthorized act, and
due expression of regret on the part of
Spain, and it must insist that immedi-
ate and positive orders be given to
Spanish naval commanders not to inter-
fere with legitimate commerce passing
through that channel, and prohibiting
all acts wantonly imperiling life and
property lawfully under the flag of the
Unit d States. You will communicate
this to the minister of foreign affairs
and urge the Importance of prompt and
satisfactory response. GRESHAM.

HUDSON BAY ROAD.
Work VIII Begin Within Three Weeks,
1t IL Asserted.

Work VIII Begin Within Three Weeks,
It Is Asserted.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 18.-Within
three weeks, work will be resumed on
the Winnipeg, and Hudson Bay rail-
road, 40 miles of which are already
completed. Parliament in 1891 author
lied the government to enter into con-
tract with the company for the pay
ment of $50, 900 annually, ostensibly for
the conveyance of mails, and men and
supplies, in case of Indian troubles, over
100 miles of the lines between Winni-
peg and Saskatchewan river, but the
promoters were unable to raise capital
in England, although this guarantee
was supplemented by q land grant Of
1000, 900 acres of land, applicable to
the entire 675 miles of the road.
Secured Big Loan.
Negotiations for better terms have
been going on ever since and the COM
pany has at last been successful in in
ducing the government to advance a
loan of $2,5Oo,OO0. The Canadian Pa
cific fought hard to prevent the bar
gains going through, as the line will di-
vert the bulk OF the Northwest traffic to
the seaboard.
But the necessity of doing something
to win the support of Manitoba and the
Territories in the approaching general
elections prevailed with the govern
ment and the deal went through
Friday.
A line connecting San Francisco with
Hudson Bay is talked of as an early
probability.

A MYSTERIOUS MISSION.

South Dakota's Attorney General Hur-
riedly Starts East.
PIERRE, s. D., March 15.-Attorney
General Crawford has gone east on a
mysterious mission, supposed to be con-
nected with the Taylor matter. He left
hurriedly after receiving a dispatch,
and managed to avoid all questioners.
It is the general impression that he has
gone to Washington to secure papers
necessary to extradite Taylor from
Mexico. It is known that Taylor has
powerful friends and influences back Of
him, and the state officers desire to be
thoroughly prepared for the vigorous
fight they will have to make before
Taylor is brought back to American
soil.

DEAD IN THEIR SHAN1Y.

Three Hunters Evidently Poisoned by
Theis Own Carelessness.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, March 49,
A horrible discovery was made by a
party of men hunting in the neighbor-
hood of Ingram. The dead bodies of
Ed Duffney, John Hanson and another
man were found in an old lumber
shanty. From all appearances they had
been dead number of days, the bodies
being frozen stiff. Duffney and Hanson
were formerly employed by Alvord as
woodsmen, but quit work to hunt
wolves, using poison to kill them with.
The supposition is that in preparing
supper they accidentally got poison
mixed with the food, carrying every
thing in the same sack. Their dog was
found dead in the same room.

GETS A NEW TRIAL.

The Supreme Court Roveraes tho Decision
Against Erastus Wiman.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Judgment
was reversed and new trial ordered in
the case of The People against Erastus
Wiman. The decision was handed
down in the general term of the su-
preme court at 4 p. m. This practically
affirms the position taken by Justice
Barrett in granting certificate of rea-
sonable doubt that Judge Ingraham
erred in refusing to charge the jury as
to Wiman's criminal intent when he
committed the forgery for which he
was indicted and of which he was found
guilty in the court Of oyer and ter
miner. The opinion is written by Chief
Justice Van Brunt, O'Brien concurring.
Justice Follett writes dissenting opin-
ion.
The court holds that Wiman, as q
partner in r. G. Dun & Co., had right
to sign checks, but whether he exer-
cised the right by express or implied au-
thority is immaterial so far as it affects
the crime with which he is charged.
He was not called upon to answer for
having made the check, but for endors-
ing Bullinger's name on it with intent
to fraud. The court holds that the in
tent with which the act was done
should have been submitted to jury.

ADVANCED WAGES.

The Connellsville Cookers Receive Very
Pleasing Notices.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, March 49,
Not since the halcyon days of the old
syndicate has the Connellsville coker
received such pleasant news as came to
the almost 10000 employees of the Prick
and Southwest companies at noon when
notices were posted at all their works,
stating that all advance in wages aver
aging about Is per cent will go into
effect on April 1st next. The rate for
mining per 100 bushels goes from 70
to 80 cents, drawing, from 43 to so cents
and so on down through the various
grades of labor. The yard laborer is
the only person who gets no advance,
his pay remaining at $1.2O per day.

REFUSED TO INDICT.

Perjury Charges Against Miss Wachtler
aud Grindall Come to Naught.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 16.-The grand
jury has concluded not to indict Maggie
Wachtler and George A. Grindall for
perjury in the Hayward case.
The state had confidently expect
ed to secure a conviction of the
latter, although it had not expected to
do so in Miss Wachtler's case. The &C.
ton of the grand jury is, therefore, a
surprise and somewhat of disappoint-
ment to Blixt's attorney, at whose in
stigation the investigation was begun.

CAPE Town, March 18.-The governor

that the foreign silver coin already in
the Transvaal will be allowed to circu-
late in that country.

Chicago Police Armed with RevOlvers
Take q Hand in Religious Exercises.
CHICAGO, March 16.-About 200 an

st. Hedwig's Catholic church at North
Hoyne avenue and Kosciusko. Five
police, who were on guard, were cowed
by the mob, but on the arrival of re-
Inducements the rioters were driven
off at the points of drawn revolvers.

Believed ut Sioux Falls That Detectives
Arc on the Wrong Track.
Sioux FALLS, S. D., March 16.-1t is
thought here that the man arrested for
w. w. Taylor in Mexico was Cyrus
Watts Of this city, who is there and due
at Vera Cruz about the time of the ar
rest. Watts is singularly like Taylor
and such mistake is quite probable.

Diamond Cutters to Be Deported.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-Secretary
Carlisle has rendered decision in the
diamond cutter case, in which he holds
that diamond cutting is not new in
dustry within the meaning Of the act Of
1885,, and therefore the several diamond
cutters who were brought to this coun-
try some months ago under contract to
engage in diamond cutting must be de-
ported.

MADISON, Wis, March 16.-From the
temper of the assembly Mr.. Halls joint
resolution, providing for a constitu-
tional amendment against the use of
passes by legislators appears to have a
show, in spite Of the fact that it was ad-
versely reported by the railroad COM
mittee. In committee Of the whole Mr.
Hall moved that it be recommended for
third reading, instead of for indefinite
postponement, and the motion prevailed
by vote of 80 to 10.

TELEPHONING By LIGHT.
Professor Bell Thinks 1t Within the Range
of Probability.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell be-
licves that tclcphoning by means of a beam
Of light will yet be commercially practica-
bic.
This belief has grown out of n long
course Of experiments with selcnium,
which Is marvelsS siy sensitive to the in
flucnco Of light, when exposed to which it
gives vibrations which can be electrically
transmitted.
Professor Bells story of the way in
whio! 10 became convinced of the posi-
bility of tclcphoning without wires is in
tcrcsting. some years ago he had fixed Il
thin, highly polished reflector in such u
position that it directed the light from n
distant schoolhouse roof through the win
dow of his laboratory in Washington, and
a friend who was assisting him stood on
the schoolhouse roof
AS Professor Bell describes it: "a bit of
selcnium was placed in n test tube, and all
was in readiness. All of n sudden, as
was listening, out of the sunbeam came
these words: Mr.. Bell, Mr.. Bell If you
hear what am saying, come to the win
dow and wave your arms. '"-Pittsburg

Paw Your Money nnd See a Collision.

J. Van Rusin of Chicago is enthusiastic
over spectacle which he proposes to pro-
duce in Chicago next summer. He ex-
poets to lease 100 acres Of land in one of
the suburbs and build a railroad track
thereon. He will build two engines at an
estimated cost of $40, 600 apiece. Then he
will erect an immense grand stand on each
side of the railroad which will accommo-
date 100, 900 people. The engines will be
steamed up to their full capacity and start
ed toward each other. The spectacle
when they collide, Mr.. Van Rusin calcu-
lates, will be so thrilling that thousands
will want TO witness it.-Philadelphia

AN UNKNOWN HEROINE.
How Miss venable Acted as a Courier Dur
ing the Late Unpleasantness.

ing the Late Unpleasantness.
Miss Judith Il. Venablc, who died In
Shelby county, Ky, on March 2S, was q
member OF the old Virginia family Of that
name, though she was born In Illinois.
In October, 1861, when communication
between the north and tho south was in
terrupted and dangerous, Miss NcnablC
was made the bearer of dispatches from
the Confederate minister in France tc
Richmond.
Miss Vcnable succeeded in getting
through the lines alone via Henderson,
Hopkinsville and Nashville, with the dis.
patches in tho solcs of her shoes, and deliv-
cred them safely to the Confederate au-
thorities in Richmond. Suspicion was
aroused at the provost's headquarters in
Louisville, and her arrest was determined
on.
A warning was sent to her on tho mar
gin of newspaper by a returned prisoner
and was received in time, so that Miss
Venable remained with her relatives in
Virginia tXl near the close Of tho war.
Although proud of her deed, she shrank
from anything like notoriety and never
spoke of her adventures except in her fam
lily, but preferred to 1.-Two and die us one OF
the unknown hcroines of the war.-Louis.

MAILS CARRIED ON WIRES.
A New Principle Of Harvesting Electricity
without Using a Return Wire.

A New Principle of harnessing Electricity
without Using "a Return Wire.
Mr.. Richard II. sherman. a Chicago
electrician, has invented n plan to carry
the mails through tho mir by means OF olcc.
trio ears travelling on wire cable. Tho
inventor says he hns discovered new
principle of harncssing tho electric eur
rent without the use OF a return wire Ho
has succeeded in convincing the postal ali-
thoritics that his plan is practical.
Mr.. s,hcrman's description Of his com
bined motor and carrier Is as follows:
"Tho whole arrangemcpt weighs 82
pounds The motor alone weighs Is
pounds, and its strength Is one-rourth
horsepower.
lit will be operated by n single wire
without return circuit.
"All parts Of tho carrier except tho mo.
tor are made OF aluminium. Tho cars arc
detachable from the frame and can be
taken out and changed in ten seconds.
The motors will climb an incline of 20 per
cent. The speed Is regulated before the
carrier Is started on its trip by simple
attachment. 1t will run no faster down
grade than up. 1t cannot jump off the
wire even Mt II speed of 100 miles an hour
"The power required to operate the car
ricrs mt n speed of 60 miles an hour Is cx-
actly the same as Is required TO run an or
dinary arc light. New York Telegram.
