This is exactly the state of the matter

with what anxiety the whole nation, its

Bond Debate Continues in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April lS.-The net re-
suit of five hours work on the private
calendar in the house yesterday was the
passage of four pension bills, one to
pension the widow Of Rear Admiral
Foote, at 500 per month; the rejection
of bill to retire hospital steward as a
second lieutenant of cavalry. and the
passage of war claim of less than 5000.
The latter was the first war claim
brought before the house for considera-
ton and naturally provoked general
debate on the policy of paying war
claims.
The question of granting to officers
widows larger pensions than private
soldiers was discussed in the house at
the night session for two hours in con-
nection with bill to pension the widow
of Brigadier General Ferdinand Van
derveer of Ohio at the rate of $50 per
month. The bill was finally favorably
acted upon with an amendment making
the rate $50 per month.

DULUTH. April 18.-After search Of
nearly two years, during which time at
least dozen suspects have been arrest
Olsen from Minneapolis to Duluth and
then brutally murdered her for her
money, throwing her body into Lake
Superior, has been caught.
He was arrested by Minneapolis at
torney in Seattle yesterday, where he
lived under the name of James E. AL

after requisition papers.
The handwriting of A. A Austin

SPAlN's POSITION.
She VIII Never Grant to Cuba Indepen-
dence Long as She Has an Army.


New YORK, April 18.-A special to
The World from Madrid, Spain, says:
Although no definitive official exchange
of views has yet taken place between
the Madrid government and President
Cleveland, nevertheless Mr.. Cleveland
has been extra officially informed of the
disposition of the Madrid government
and the extent to which it could go in
the meeting the advances Mr.. Cleve-
land might harbor an intention of max
ing as mediator between Spain and
the Cuban insurgents.
Both governments evidently are feel
ing their way cautiously and warily to
find path to an amicable solution
Both seem disposed to take all the time
necessary to prepare public opinion in
both countries for an arrangement COM
patible with the patriotic susceptible
ties of the Spanish people and with
their material interests.
Those interests are gravely affected
by indefinite prolongation of the strug-
gle, which is ruinous not only for Spain
but for Cuba and for all the foreign
countries interested in the commerce
and agriculture of the Spanish West
Indies.
The knot of the whole question seems
to be how far public opinion in Spain
will allow the government to go in con-
cessions of political and administrative
autonomy and in tariff reforms for Cuba
and Porto Rico, and how far President
Cleveland as mediator could go in guar
anteeing that the Cuban insurgents
would accept such concessions, and how
far he could guarantee that the Ameri.
can citizens and the Cuban refugees
would cease to assist the rebellion.
When once that is clearly understood
Spain, to insure the prompt pacification
OF Ouba, it will go to any length in the
way of concessions short of independ-
ence. That Spain win never assent to

day, Mr.. Hill continuing in opposition

the day concerning Pacific railroad af-
fairs. Mr.. Gear, chairman of the Pa
cific railroads committee, presented a
bill proposing an adjustment of the
railroad debt. This led Mr.. Allen of
Nebraska to criticise the committee for

alteration between Mr.. Gear and Mr..
Allen followed, during which Mr.. AL

INDIANAs CHAMPION FASTER
Once She Abstained From Food Three Hun.
dred Days.

Monday Mrs. Henry Ingram, OF Latrobe
Ind, entered upon the one hundred and
nineteenth day of her remarkable fast. Her
career has created a sensation in the medical
world and has bafIled the skill OF the best
physicians in the country.
This Is the second fast which has brought
Mrs. Ingram into prominence. Fifteen years
ago, 1t is said, she went 800 days without
taking food or nonrishment of any kind, and
for So days following the breaking OF the fast
took nourishment by injection OF food into
her stomach, her recovery following.
She continued in In excellent health until
early this year, when she was again strangely
stricken. She has not yet lost consciousness,
and once In about every ten hours asks the
watchers who have maintained ceaseless
yfgils at her bedside, to moisten her lips with
a damp cloth.
From 2l6 pounds, which she weighed be-
fore she entered upon her fast, she wasted
away until now she Is but shadow OF her
former self. The physicians are unable to
say how long her fast will continue, but un-
less relief soon comes from some human
agency, death will result from starvation.

As necessary consequence, the honest
payment OF public debts and the preservation
Of the public faith and credit require that tho
gold standard Of money shall be- maintained.
While we favor the most liberal use Of sill
yer consistent with tho enforcement Of gold
standard, we are unalterably opposed to the
free coinage OF silver, deeming II n device
for the debasement Of our currency, and to
the compulsory purchase Of silver by the
government. Under existing circumstances,
to pay public debts In silver coin Is repudia-
tion; to pay private debts In coin IL to rob
the wage Garner, and to provide for the free
coinage OF silver means the destruction of le-
gitimato business and great suffering among
the laboring classes
We believe the safety OF our national
finance requires system OF sound banking.
by which bank note currency ample to sup

everywhere redeemable In gold.
The platform also indorses the adminis-
