The Italian Government Expresses Its
Satisfaction at the step Taken.
Washington, d. C. March lex
pressions of satisfaction having been
made by the Italian government at
the steps taken by the Colorado au-
thorities for the apprehension of the
murderers of the Italians at Walsen-
burg. the diplomatic incident occa-
stoned thereby is regarded here as
closed, for the present at least That
satisfaction exists is shown by the tel
egram that was sent yesterday by AS
sistant Secretary of State Uhl to Gov
ernor Mcintyre, of Colorado. In this
telegram Mr.. Uhl set forth the express
sion of appreciation manifested on the
part of Baron Fava, the Italian Am
bassador here, and of his government,
and of the Federal government at the
earnest efforts made by the executive
officers to arrest the guilty parties.
To-day the Assistant Secretary ire
ceived a reply from Governor McIn
tyre, in which that official said that
the District Attorney had told him
(the Governor) that he would use every
means to secure the arrest. and con-
viction of those who were guilty. The
Governor also said that he had issued
proclamation offering a reward of 1000
(the limit under the statutes of the
State) for the apprehension and conv1c-
tion of the guilty parties.

THE WIZARDS LATEST.

Edison Combines the kaleidoscope and
PhonOgraph.
Orange, n. j., March 1.-THE COM
binatiOn Of the kinetoscope with the
phOnograph, upon the perfection of
which Thomas A. Edison and his as
sistant, William Dickson, have been
working for several years, has been
made practical. and will be offered to
the public within a short time in the
shape of an instrument which will
show action and give phonetic express
ion Simultaneously.
The new apparatus is almost the
same in appearance as the kinett
scope. The addition consists of the
rubber tubes and ear pieces of the
phOnOgraph, which are attached to the
top of the kinetOscope. While the kline
toscOpe was only optical the desire was
to get scenes in which there was vari-
ETY. Of action, sound, of course, being
diSregarded. Therefore, such objects
as prize fights, dancing and scenes of
violent action were in demand.
With the new combination, however,
the eye and the ear both being enlist
ed, the range of subjects will be largely
increased. 1t will now be possible to
reproduce an entire opera, with all the
action and music, by the use of a num-
Der of instruments working in sue
ceSSiOn. The new field opened is, in
fact, practically ineXhaustible.

THE ELK FACTIONS.
Another Effort to BE Made to Bring About
Harmony.

Another Effort to BE Made to Bring About
Harmony.
Chicago, March 17.-An effort to ad-
just the difficulty between the two
branches of the Order of Elks will be
made at a convention which opens at
Auditorium tomorrow morning. The
convention, or rather conference, is
called by the Omaha Lodge. 1t is
claimed thatrepresetatives from near
ly all the lodges in the country will be
present. The Chicago lodge will not
be represented. The members of the
local lodge adhere to the Grand Lodge
which met at Atlantic City last June,
and refuse to recognize that the
jamestown faction has any right to
its contention.
The difficulty arose over the pass
age of a resolution at the annual ses-
sion of the Grand Lodge at Detroit, in
June. 1898. which delegated to a COM
mittee the power TO fix the time and
place for the next annual session.
The committee called the Grand Lodge
10 meet in jamestown and the Grand
officers called the meeting for Atlantic
City. +. b. Hayes, of Washington,
was elected the Grand Exealted Ruler
by the Atlantic City faction, and NJ.
III. Friday was elected to the position
by the jamestown faction. Since then
the animOSity between the two fac
tions has grown stronger. and the
prospects for a reaffiliatiOn is less
hopeful.

THE SPANISH CRISIS.
The Ministry Has Resigned-An Explana-
tion of the Trouble.


Madrid, March 1.-THE Sagasta
Ministry has resigned in consequence
of the troubles in the Chamber of Dep
uties yesterday, when all the reporters
withdrew from the house, as a protest
against the official defense made by
the Minister of War Of the officers who
attacked and wrecked the Office of FL
Globo the organ Of Senior Castelar,. 1t
is probable that Field Marshal Marti-
nez Campos will form new Cabinet.
The Ministers declined to resign at
a council held this evening. Senor
Sagasta subsequently went to the Pal
ace and handed the designations to the
Queen Regent, who accepted them. 1t
is expected that Marshal Martinez Dc
Campos will form a business cabinet.
Senior Sagasta has declared that it is
his intention not to resume the Pre-
mierShip.
A dispatch from Madrid to the Lon
don Standard says that the government
is only able to count on the support of
the police, the civil guard having de
clined to act against the young officers
who took part in the riot at the offices
of Ell GlobO. The spirit of the garri-
son shows that almost all the officers
sympathize with the young rioters.
The dispatch adds that there is great
excitement in the city and that no such
military conflict has been seen since
the restoration of the monarchy. The
Queen Regent is much affected.
An explanation of the crisis is that
according to the military code those
who slander the army through the
press ought to be tried by court mar
tial, when, according to the press
laws, such matters ought to be
submitted to a jury in the Supreme
Court. Despite this. the Minister of
War, conforming TO the desires eX-
pressed by the officers of the garrison,
proposed to the Cabinet that court
martial be summoned TO try the cases.
A majority of the Ministers represent
ing the civil elements opposed this
procedure. whereupon Prime Minister
Sagasta declared that it was impossi
BILE for him to continue longer in Of
fee All the Ministers then rendered
their designations

Jews had been the chosen people of the
old dispensation, and also in its elo-
quent tribute of loyalty to the Pope
and his American delegate, Mgr. Sa-
tolli.

ance of flowers and plants about the

of the days celebration.

laer. S. j., pronounced the paneeyric on
