SANK A SCHOONER
Another Outrage Against Un-
Gle Sam Charged to a
Spanish GunbOat.
NEWS IS YET UNCONFIRMED.
Report Says That the Vessel
Lost Had Sixteen Per-
sons on Board.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March ia
special to The Florida Citizen from
Key West, Fla, says: A letter has
been received here from Cuba stating
that the Spanish gunboat Alcedo fired
upou and sank supposed American
schooner off Puerto P,,dre with IL peo-
PIE. 1t is rumored that the schooner
was from Key West. The schooner
Golden Hind Of Key Wesv, which left
here several weeks ago for a cargo OF
fruit with crew Of IL men, had to pass
Puerto Padre, and may have been the
vessel in question. The schooners
Louise Hastings and Lilly also sailed
Tor fruit several days ago, but neither
had 16 men in their crew.
The latest news from Cuba is that the
government has captured a schooner
loaded with arms and amnun ton at
Havana, which was to go to Santiago
de Cuba. At Santa Clara several riues
We're captured hidden away i'll fields
Fired on an English Vessel.
New YORK, March ia special
cable to The World from Havana says:
The commander OF the Spanish cruiser
Corde de Venedito reports having fired
on a steamship flying the English flag.
Two blank shots We're fired first and
then two with balls. 1t IS presumed
here that the cruiser was mistaken in
the nationality Of the flag and that the
steamer fired upOu was the Allianca.

+ Another case of British bulldozing
is liable to occur in Hawaii. Walker
and Richard, two British subjects,
went to Honolulu and took the oath
of allegiance to the Hawaiian gov
eminent. They have been arrested,
convicted and sentenced for treason
Now John Bull, who is ever watching
for an opportunity to jump on and
bluff a small nation, comes forward
and says the oath is no good, and
that Walker and Richard are still
British citizens, and, of course, their
release will be demanded besides a
large indemnity. If Hawaii refuses,
then the Nicaraguan fracas will be
repeated once more, and once more
Old England will add another dis
grace to her already long list. Go
ahead, old man, you'll slap the wrong
child some of these days.

It appears from documents found
on record in Hawaii that Venezuela
is right in her boundary claim. The
map was made some twenty years
ago and officially approved by the
British government, giving Venezuela
what she always claimed. Thinking
there was no record of this map out
side of England, she had another
made in which she claims 10000
square miles of the little govern
ment's territory. But Venezuela and
Uncle Sam says it don't go, and now
England wants to arbitrate because
she has everything to gain and moth
ing to lose.

These five years have indeed done
wonders in the domain of street rail
reading in this country. To give
some idea of the extent to which cleo
tricity has displaced the horse, and,
on the other hand, been instrumental
in creating new roads, we need only
cite the fact that at the presentstime
there are over $50 electric railways in
the United States, operating over
5000 miles of track and $4,000 cars,
and representing capital investment
of over $4OO,OOo,OOo, says Joseph
Weltzer in Scribner's. What stu
pendous figures, when we consider
that in 1887 the number of such roads
amounted to only 10, with scarcely
100 cars.

AS an Offset for what the printer
loses when a mercantile firm orders a
bill of goods from wholesale jobber
and gets thousand baking powder
statements or box of envelopes with
a soap ad. on them, thrown in as a
premium, the printers are now look
ing for wholesale paper dealer who
is willing to give few pounds of
sugar or box of matches with every

have to charge a little more for the
paper, but we would get the sugar
and that would seem like finding it.
Ii merchants who buy of this class of
men would insist on them keeping
their stationery and deducting the

The lesson taughtJ. j. Hill little
over a year ago by the strike on the
Great Northern seems to have been
forgotten in this short space of time
by that erstvhile railroad lord. If
reports are true, he has put his foot
in it a second time. Last week three
dispatchers at St. Cloud were let out
without any apparent reason what
ever other than their affiliations with
the American Railway union. 1t is
said that on account of this lesson re-
ceived year ago, Mr.. Hill has de-
termined to break up the A. r. u.
in revenge. If this be true, Mr.. Hill
has larger contract on his hands
than the Democrats have in carrying
the campaign of '96, and will end
with like results overwhelming
defeat.

The arrest of three newspaper. pub
fishers recently of Marinette, Wis,
for violation of the postal laws in
publishing the results of hospital
prize drawing, seems somewhat I'M
called for and unjust, inasmuch as
the drawing was in the cause OF char
ity and published as purely news
matter. When a person sees the
tickets of the San Domingo lottery
and others sold every day in open de-
fance of the laws in almost every
city in the Union without a word be-
ing said, and the publishing Of an in
nocent prize drawing in the act of
charity throttled by the iron hand of
the law, they would naturally be led
to believe that the law guardians and
the devil go arm in arm. The atten-
ton OF congress should be called to
this lottery clause, and have it made
more Anient when used in charity's
cause, and more severe, if anything,
in the case Of swindling.

The Cuban rebels are giving the
Spanish hard tussel, and the latter
are getting pretty we'll alarmed
Gen. Campos recently called all the
Spanish officers before him and re-
minded them of the fate of Lieut..
Gallego, who was shot because de-
feated by the insurgents, and said
that similar fate would be meted
out to all officers who were defeated
by the rebels and survived. Now
there is talk of mutiny among the
Spanish officers. This is new

old scheme, long since done away,

Light.

| When the world was young, m an
was only a child, with a child's
thoughts. Probably the first man, at
the close Of the first day, was fright
ened when darkness fell, and wonder
ed whether the light would ever come
again. And since, he has, like a
child, been continually learning
something about light. At one time
he supposed the eye was the source
of the light. because he saw nothing
unless his eyes were open. The great
philosopher, Newton, propounded the
corpuscular theory, that light is an
imponderable substance, whose colors
depend on the velocity of transmits
sion. Reflection he compared to the
rebounding of an elastic body, while
refraction was due to interstices in
transparent bodies, which allowed the
particles of light to pass through.
This idea was accepted for many
years, but has now been practically
displaced by Huygen's undulatory
theory, that light is propagated by
the vibrations Of the imponderable
ether. On this theory the transmits
sion of light is like that of sound, and
a coroallry of it is that they are of
different colors, the variety of hue
not being caused by varying velosci
ties. Three pecuiiarities of light are
it's universal diffusion, it's rapidity of
motion, and it's usefulness. The
works Of man meyer equal those of
Nature, but in these three respects
the Burlington Route resembles light.
An examination of the map shows it's
diffusion over the West; the use of
its tickets will convince of the speed
of its trains; an acquaintance with
the hundreds of prosperous towns and
cities on its lines demonstrate it's use
fulness. Apply to your home agent

JOURNAL ENTERPRISE
Leads 1t Into n Ridiculous State
ment on Capitol Warrants.

With it's usual industry in building
mountains out, of molehills, the Min
neapoliS Journal last evening attempt
ed to startle the Twin Cities with an
alleged sensation, which upon closer
investigation proves no sensation at
ali. The Journal goes into a lengthy
SpaSm in saying that State Auditor
Biermann, while holding office, issued
a series of warrants, amounting to
S60, SIC. 25, drawn for the purchase of
portion of the new capitol site. These
warrants were drawn in favor of De-
sire H Michaud, William Dawson.
Robert A. Smith, Chute Bros. and
others.
As a matter of fact. the warrants
were negotiated by a Minneapolis at
torney, and have been passed upon by
the attorney general of the state, who
declares them to be valid and legal
warrants. These warrants appear in
the official and printed report Of the
state auditor, where any one inclined
to look up such important matters
could have seen them enumerated in
the proper pages. Consequently there
was nothing mysterious about the mat
ter whatever The discovery by the
Journal Of the irregular" warrants
at this late day is rather ridiculous.
The capitol site was purchased, by due
authority. 1t was paid for in warrants,
payable when there would be funds to
meet them, also by due authority. That
is all there is of it. For the discovery
of mares nests the public may be
commended to the Minneapolis news
