MORE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The French Papers Continue to Crit
icise Congress.

Paris, March 3-The newspapers Of
this city continue their unfayorable
comments upon the United States Con-
gress on the Cuban question. The
Figaro for example, says: although
President Cleveland is not a man to-
recoil from a conflict with Spain, should
his electoral interests require it he will
resist the excitement of Congress. The
American statesman will do well not
to eXasperate Europe with the Monroe
doctrineJt is certain that Spain viii
not recede and it is difficult to see what
benefit the United States will derive
from war
The Matin publishes IAN interview
with a prominent Spanish politician"
quoting him as saying: Spain regards
the situation with calmuess and re
solution, ready to meet any contingen-
cy. With Spain, the present question
is one of honor. She will strain every
nerve if il means war;
Commenting upon the situation, the
Matin says: "Spain's Indignation is
justified, but we advise her not TO take
extreme decisions by which she would
iniure her own interests. Americans
are accustomed to these superb de-
clarations; but they are often without
effect, as in the case of Venezuela.

THE ZEE sYsTEM MusT Mow &c.
The House Spends the Day Debating
the Bill to Abolish If.

Washington, March 3.The House
spent the entire day in debating
the amendment to the Legislative APP
preparation bill to abolish the fee sys-
tenn in the cases of United States dis
trict attorneys and maFshals. The
salaries fixed by the amendment range
from $4,000 to $1,000. The amendment
was endorsed by almost every member
of the Judiciary committee. 1t was
argued the amendment would reduce
the expenses of United States courts,
which have doubled since 1878, at least
$500.000 for the first year and result
in stopping the pernicious padding OF
the business of the Federal courts.
Mr.. Swanson, (Dm., Na.), in support
ing the amendment denounced the fee
system and quoted the words Of lni-
ted States Judge in North Carolina,
who declared that nine-tenths Of the
indictments found in his court were
for the sole purpose Of making fees
for the court officers.
While the debate was in progress Mi.

committee, offered a resolution which
was adopted requesting the Senate to
return the Cuban resolutions passed

OUR TROUBLE WITH SPAIN
ENGLISH JOURNALS THINK THE
SITUATION PERILOUS.
The French Newspapers Continue their
UnfaVorable Comments on
the Matter

London, March Commenting on
the Cuban matter, the ST. James
Gazette thinks that the language of
Congress is more provocative than the
barcelona disturbance" adding:
Spain is now face to face wi the de-
clared hostilitvof therepreseutativesof Of
the American people and immediate
reply will be given by the proud Span
ish race that will be creditable TO their
spirit and deserve the sympathy Of
Europe. If war be the result the
jingo politicians may be surprised. We
do not see where, outside of the Uni
ted States, the Americans viii find any
support for their unlimited policy Of
aggression"
The Globe says that Spain, having
politely expressed her regret at the
Barcelona incident, the House of Rep
resentatives seized upon the oppor-
tunity to be characteristically often
sivc. The situation is very perilOus"
Continuing, the Globe compares the
strength Of the two powers and con-
tends that the advantage is on the
side Of Spain, adding: There are
other interests in Cuba beside the
American and may be the European
powers would not quietly look on
while the United States develops the
remarkable Monroe doctrine, which
seems to forbid anybody to interfere
with anything on which the eagle has
it's eye, while it encourages that Off
cious bird to poke it's beak into the
business Of everybody else"

The Opening Gun in the Fight Against
the Trust.

Chicago, March 3.--An opening gun,
expected to precipitate war in the To-
