New YORK, Jan. ia special
from Key West, Fla, says: According
to private advices from Havana, there
was great excitement on the exchange
Wednesday, and much sedltious talk
was INDUCED in. Several colonies
and officers of volunteers who were
present made speeches against Captain
General Campos, and general pro-
test was expressed against his military
inactivity and over-humane policy.
One major of volunteers proposed
that Campos be either forced to re-
sign or be lynched, and the speech
received with cheers from various
Spanish merchants. The majority of
representatives of Spanish business
houses present signed petition to
close the exchange and many favored
closing the stores. A delegation from
the volunteer corps of officers was
named to wait upon Campos and in-
sist that Panado be called and given
full military command, and that Cam
pos either radically change his politics
or resign. The Spanish sentiment
against him is increasing hourly and
trouble is feared. Several foreign
vessels in the port, by direction of
their consignees, have suspended the
discharge of their cargo, awaiting the
outcome of the affair. Lieutenant
General Marin has been hurriedly
called from Matansas and is now in
consultation with the captain general.
Campos depends upon the regular
forces and upon the fleet to support
him in the event of trouble, but at
this moment there are few troops in
Havana, most of the columns being
out after Gomez and Maceo, and for.
tunately all the warships are away
cruising up and down the coast.

Clamorgan's barber shop in st.
Louis, which is soon to be dismantled,
has long been famous in the West. Its
original proprietors, who were octo-
rooms, established it in 1852, and fitted
it up luxuriously with mahogany
chairs, marble tubs imported from
Italy and the finest of tonsorial para
phernalia. Dickens was shaved there,
and Grant, Gen. Pope, Benton, Douglas
and other celebrities of the day patro-
nlzed it. Grant indeedsis said to have
had his hair cut there oftener than any
other customer. Perhaps its browning
glory was the patronage of the Prince
of Wales, who, finding the Planters
house tubs primeval, came to lave in
Clamorgan's Italian marble. Etiquette
forbade him, however, to occupy one of
the BARRIERS chairs,

IN A SNAKES COIL.


Conflict of Doctor with an EIoven-
Foot Monster
Two medical students, Fred Kernn
and Charles Ellsworth of this city who
spent their vacation in the vicinity of
Uniontown, while near the tragic and
famous spot, "the White rocks" in the
Allegheny mountains, about ten miles
from Uniontown, met with an adven-
ture that almost adds another horror
to that place, says The Pittsburg Dis
patch. Wearied with their wanderings
the two paused and Mr.. Kernn, throw
ing himself upon a messy rock, was
soon fast asleep. Mr.. Ellsworth, who
sat near by, was in a short time
startled by cry from his companion
and on turning around was Mortified
to see a huge blacksnake rapidly wind
ing itself about the body of Mr.. Kernn.
Mr.. Kernn, who was now on his knees,
staggered to his feet, but the snake had
succeeded in coiling itself two or three
times around his body, fastening his
left arm in helpless position. Mr.. Ellis
worth started forward to his assistance
of his unfortunate companion but could
do nothing. During the terrible en-
counter Mr.. Kernn never for moment
lost his presence of mind but made re-
peated efforts to seize the reptile by
the neck hoping thus to choke it to
death. The snake, now tightening its
coils every moment and almost crush
ing the life out of the young man, sud-
denly stopped, with its head in midair
and its tongue darting rapidly back
ward and forward and its eyes fixed
upon Mr.. Ellsworth, gave the nervy
young doctor the opportunity he had
hoped for. Kernh now quickly and bold
ly seized the neck of the reptile with
his free hand. Ellsworth, seeing that
the strength Of his companion was rep
idly going, rushed in to his assistance.
At this moment Kernn sank exhausted
upon the rock, but not before Ellsworth,
with jackknife in hand, had also seized
the snake by the neck. Pressing the
neck of the monster firmly upon the
rock with his left hand he, with his
right, quickly severed the head from
the body. The coils of the snake slowly
loosened from the body OF Kernn, who
was now unconscious. A little brandy,
however, soon revived him and in an
hour he, with the aid of Mr.. Ellsworth,
was able to make his way to a farm
house at the foot of the mountain. The
snake measured IL feet inches in
length and the oldest inhabitants say
1t is the largest snake ever found in
the neighborhood within their recollec-
ton.

The Irbit fair, which is held at Irbit,
in the province of Perm, between the
list of February and the list of March,
is not on the great trading route be-
tween Russia and Siberia, and yet it is
at Irbit that Siberia is supplied with
manufactured goods for The year and
to which Siberia sends a large portion
of her furs, skins, fish, honey, wax,
hempseed, linseed and even butter.
Here, too, is great market for Chinese
tea and silk and for many products of
Central Asia. Most of the goods left
unsold from the Mini Novgorod fair
are sent on to Irbit and Siberian goods
left unsold from the Irbit fair are in
turn sent on to Nijni-Novgorod. For
Russian goods the traders enjoy some
special privileges for carriages from
fair to fair. The Irbit fair dates from
1913, but up to the beginning of the
present century had not exceeded n
turnover OF 100000 rubles per annum
In 1868, however. it had grown to 50,-
100000 and in 1887 it reached 81 900 900,
which was the high-water mark. BY
1892 the turnover had declined to 34,-
100000 rubles and this fair is expected
to suffer good deal from the Trans
Siberian railway, now in course of con-
struction, which will take Siberian
grain and furs and other products di-
rect to the Russian railway system
Irbit itself is but small place of 5000
inhabitants but during fine fairythe
population rises to 100000, and many of
the houses are open only while the faiR
lasts.
