P1arinc With Fire.

LONDON, Feb. IAN editorial in
the Chronicle OiberaD this morning
described Lord Salisbury's speech as
the most amazing utterance that ever
fell from the lips of the governor of a
great empire at the crisis of it's for
tunes. Lord PaImerston in his widest
after-dinner escapades could not have
beaten it. 1t will do England grevious
harm in the eyes of the world. He
bestowed but one word on America and
it had better have been 'unspoken. We
take leave to tell him that he is play
ing with fire again. He should have
said less or more. His confession of
failure with regard to Armenia is a
most ignominous admission.
The Times says of the speech: Lord
Salisbury's tone with reference TO
Armenia was apologize, and his ex-
plantations were rather unusual But
these will convince all fair-minded
men that the fault does not lie with
the British government"

Long-Standing Feud.

LOng-StandinE Feud.
PLYMOUTH, Ind, Jan. 31-John
Swoverland, a well known stock buyer
was shot and instantly killed by Sam
uel S. Stewart at a sale of machinery

fire, the second shot striking SWoVer-
land in the forehead and penetrating
the brain.
After the shooting Stewart started
home to get a horse and come to town
to give himself up. On the way he met
an elder son of SwoVerland who fell
upon him with a knife and nearly kill
ed him. In the fight Stewards right
arm was cut nearly to pieces. He then
went to Bourbon and gave himself up,
and was brought here and put in Jail.
The shooting created great excitement.
Young Stewards promptness in sur
rendering to the authorities has greatly
helped his case and at the preliminary
hearing which will be held this after
noon. he may be discharged.
Swoverland was one of the most sue
cessful farmers in Bourbon township,
Marshall county. He was SO years old
and was the father Of five children He
served in the late war in company H,
S7th Illinois infantry enlisting in 1863,
and was honorably discharged. He
was man of exceedingly fiery tenn
permanent.
Stewart, who is the son of a small
farmer living a short distance from
Swoverland's residence, while express
ing his sorrow at the tragedy, says
that Swoverland would surely have
killed him.

A LITTLE PREMATURE.
The Protest Against the Use of
Whisky in Christening the Ken
lucky.


LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. S1.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the w. c. T. u,
at their meeting here. drafted a pro-
test against the use of whisky or any
intoxicating fluid in the christening of
the new warship Kentucky. The board
declined to give out copy of the pro-
test until it should have been mailed
to Secretary Herbert and Miss Harriet
B. Richardson of this city who has
been selected by the secretary to
christen the ship and who asked the
privilege of using old bourbon for that
purpose.
Miss Richardson when seen said:
"The w. G. t. U. is premature in it's
action. as there has been no official
announcement as to what the Ken
lucky will be christened with The
honor was unsought by me and [ sug-
gested old bourbon as a characteristic
product of Kentucky"

Cook county, H., is asserted to be vic
tim of a fragrant violation of the rights
of American citizenship by the German

Stettin was pressed into military service.
Four months ago copies of his natural
ization papers We're sent to Germany but
were returned endorsed, 1.-The man named

oharred human Bones Unearthed
Near PatOka, Ills.


vandaHa. Ill, Jan. 31.-Evidence of
a murder has been unearthed near
Patoka, fourteen miles south. of here,
by the finding of a lot of charred
human bones believed to be those of a
man named. Smith. Smith left home
on horseback two months ago and
since then has not been heard of. A
few weeks after his disappearance a
horse was found tied to a tree and
from all appearances had died from
starvation. The saddle and bride were
Smiths. Foul play was suspected and
suspicion pointed to enemies of Smith
in the vicinity.
A day or two ago some tramps were
in the vicinity where the dead horse
was found and a deserted camp was
found within a short distance of where
the horse lie. A large hollow tree had
been set on fire by the tramps and
in the ashes were the human bones.
Detectives are now at work on the
case.

THE PROCEEDINGS

When the senate convened today the
silver bond bill had immediate right OF
way.
Mr.. Allen (Neb9 called attention to
the absence of quorum. This neces-
STATED roll call, which brought sena-
tors from the committee and cloak
rooms, and disclosed forty-six senators
present, one more than a quorum.
Mr.. Villas then addressed the senate,
in opposition to the bill.
1T WILL said Mr. Villas. doubtless

as it came from the house. But 1t
may be said that it deserves its fate

Loss of the Hawkins.

BOSTON, Jan. 31.-The schooner Ali
cha B. Crosby, which was one of the
three vessels that rescued the members
of the Cuban f1ibustering expedition,
wrecked with the steamer ]. W. Hawk
ms Monday morning, off the eastern
end of Long Island, arrived at this
port today. From Captain George w.
Bunker of the Crosby it is learned that
great difficulty was experienced in res
cuing the men on account of their I'M
familiarity, and that to this fact was
due the loss of three men whom the
captain saw go down. The Crosby res
cued thirteen men who were in a boat
which the rescued men claimed con
tanned from sixteen to twenty-four per-
SONS. Captain Bunker says:
However this may be, I saw but
three men drowned. but as the boat
capsized soon after we began the work
of rescue, several probably went down
as they were too exhausted to make
any battle for their lives. One of those
drowned is said to have had 5000 in gold
on his person"
