THE spaniards report terrible con-
fict" on the River Zazagas, which
lasted two hours, and ended by the
Spaniards driving away the 1000
Cuban insurgents who disputed their
passage. The Spaniards claim to have
lost one man killed and % wounded.
Probably the terribleness of the conflict
was due to the amount of powder burned
at a distance of two miles from the
enemy.

The English Tory caucus has become
weary of the effort to protect their farm
ers against American products by
"health' pretexts, and decided upon a
Protective policy. They have not yet
gotten to the point of actually aban-
doning Free Trade, but will thinly dis
guise the measure as "registration
duty" Of one shilling per quarter upon
all grain imported. This will give the
English farmers protection Of about
two cents bushel, and bring in about
s10,OOO,000 of revenue.

MoREToN FREwEN, the English BIZ
metallist, says that the future of silver is
very uncertain. It may be that the
famine in Hindustan will greatly de-
press the price, on account of large
quantities which will be thrown into the
market to buy grain, and it may be that
Russia's effort to replace her small ruble
notes with silver may increase the de-
mand for the metal.

THE TENNESSEE FRAUDS.

The Tennessee PoPocrats seem to have
at last over-reached themselves in their
election frauds, and a day Of reckoning
is at hand. This is The fifth time that
they have stolen the State, after it had
been carried against them by decisive
majority. Once was in 1880, once in
1882, once in 1884 once in 1894,
and the present time. This time they
had to do more barefaced stealing than
ever. The temper of the people is such
that they will not stand it any longer.
There was the deepest feeling aroused in
all respectable Democrats in 1894, when
H. Clay Evans was counted out by
means of an er post tacto law passed by
the Legislature after it was found that
he had majority on the face of the re-
turns. Added to this is the fact that a
great many influential Democrats in the
State belong to the Sound Money wing,
and unite with the Republicans in de-
handing that the open and fragrant
crimes committed against the voters
shall be punished.
Evidence is being rapidly accumu-
lated as to these. Some of the worst
were committed in the Tenth Congress
sional District, which includes four Coun-
ties-shelby, Upton, Fayette, and
Hardeman. The City Of Memphis is
in the District. The Republicans and
Sound Money Democrats had $4,000
voters registered in Shelby County, but
the face of the doctored returns show
that they only had 1868. Ballots were
thrown out on all sorts of pretexts-
that they were marked with a pencil,
"not folded right" ETC., for which there
is no warrant in the law. Watchers
were beaten and driven off. men in
undated from going to the polls, and
so on through the whole catalog Of
brutal devices.
The Republicans and Sound Money
Democrats have organized, with some of
the ablest men in the. State at their
head; money has been contributed to
defray the expenses, and trouble is ahead
for the rascals WHO haye so long ruled
the State to its great ihjury. There is
much more than politics in this. The
people of Tennessee want their State to
develop. In natural resources it is one
of the richest in the country, but it can
never go ahead while it is under the
domination of such a rsscally oligarchy
as has ruled it and fne others of the
seeding States since the days of Recon-
struction.

One Has Been Taken Out
Dead, Others Dying.
Several Still Imprisoned Under Fall
len Roof and Walls. +.
Structure Was Decrepit and New Founda-
tion Was Being Built Under II.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 21.-9:30 a. m.-.
The old Brown building, corner Main and
Seneca streets, formerly occupied by the
Western Union, has just collapsed. Fire
enignes and ambulances were sent hurry
ing to the scene. Several men are report
I, 1jured.
Inc portion OF the building that fell
was being reconstructed and was upheld
by braces. The cause OF the collapse is
supposed TO be due to giving away OF the
props. Many carpenters were working
in the building at the time and the bar
ber shop of Morris f. Jones was full of
customers. There were perhaps 10 or 20
people in the building at the time. OF
these, two have been taken out fatally in
jured. They are:
GEORGE METZ, barber, who died at
$3.50 at the Fitch hospital.
MICHAEL O'BRIEN, carpenter, 2S6 James
street, back broken, dying.
Others who have been rescued are 8. L.
Hawkes. and James Adams.
The body of Jacob Rickman,a barber,
has been removed. Jennie Gribben, the
woman cashier of the barber shop, is I'M.
der the ruins and no doubt dead. The
police and firemen are working like bea-
vers TO clear away the ruins and rescue
those buried beneath them. 1t is i'm
possible TO accurately estimate the num-
Der, but probably 1t will be no less than
Is. A dozen or more people are said to
have been in the barber shop when the
crash came. Cries have been heard from
the pile of debris.
When the Western Union moved out of
the Brown building, which is an old de-
crepit structure of forty years standing,
their dynamos and engines were taken
out of the basement aud contractors were
employed to remodel and reconstruct 1t.
This they attempted to do BY running
braces under the floor joists, held MP by
piers to bear the weight OF the super
structure while work prosrc-.--S C the
foundation walls. The immediate cause
OF the collapse was tie removal OF part OF
the foundation walls. There wezc but
few tenants in the building.

BOB BURDETTE,s LECTURE
Enjoyed by u Large Audience a.
Merriam Park.

Robert J. Burdette, humorous
writer and platform speaker, appeared
last night at Woodruff hall, Merriam
Park, under the auspices of the Mer-
Tiam Park Lecture association. and in
counter attraction of the Charity ball.
drew an audience which filed the
hall to the doors and which was large
ly composed of ladies. There was q
large attendance of students from
Manchester, St. Thomas and Hamline
universities.
In personal appearance Mr.. Burdette
is slender, of dark complexion and
scarcely above medium height He
speaks in a high-pitched and even
strident voice Of decidedly nasal quail
ity, but enunciates clearly and ex-
pressively.
The subject of his lecture was GA
Twice Told Tale or the Rise and Fall
Of a Moustache," and as that would
indicate his discourse was of char
acter purely humorous and light. He
followed the evolution Of the boy.
From the time he refused to allow his
mother to continue cutting his hair
and went to the barber for the first
time and through the stage when he
first discovered down on his lip and
others which followed 1t until he be-
came q full-groWn man. His pictures
of the boy at various stages of his
development were highly humorous
and still so life-like ais to remind
every one Of his hearers Of boys they
had known.
