Afraid of a Cataclyism.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-A dis.
patch to the Herald from Valpa-
raise says: A prediction recently
made that a cataclyism would
surely occur in south America on
March 80, has created fears OF the
destruction OF the world on that
day not only among ignorant
people here, but among those OF
more intelligence. A serious and
in some degree a ridiculous panic
is the result. 1t is believed by
those affected by the prediction
that Valparaiso aud its suburbs
will be engulfed in tidal wave, as
were 80 hapless towns in the
straits settlement in the unpar-
alleled eruption OF Krakatoa and
the tidal wave which followed
some years ago.

Negroes Not Allowed to Register,

CHICAGO, March 2S.-A special
to the Inter Ocean from New Or
leans says: Three hundred men
armed with winchester and shot
guns held possession all day Fri
day OF the little town Of Palmetto,
80 miles from Opelousas, in St.
Landry's parish, where the trouble
occurred about ten days ago. Their
presence there was for the purpose
of preventing the negroes from
registering.
Registrar Swords was advertised
to open the registration Office In
the morning. He kept it open all
day but not a single negro regis
tered. The blacks were thorough.
ly overawed by the presence OF the
armed men.
Palmetto has a population OF
about 500 negroes and ~ whites.
After the white men had registered
the men rode of. The same tao
tics will, no doubt, be pursued In
other portions of the parish.

Brazil DISPATCHES.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The
Herald's correspondent in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, sends word that
Puchano has arrived in that city.
A group OF Brazilian capitalists
have offered to lease the Central
railway in that republic for a term
of 80 years. for $13,O00,0OO. The
syndicate offers to construct new
branches and improve the service.
Acceptance OF the offer is said to
be extremely doubtful inasmuch
as there are more than 5000 voters
employed on the road.
The minister of marine, DR.. baross
accused of disloyalty to the govern
ment, insists upon resigning The
president is equally persistent In
refusing to accept his resignation
Yellow fever which has been so
fatal for the last two months is

Oklahoma Convention.

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., March
2S.-Long before the republican
territorial convention, to select six
delegates to the national conven-
ton, was called to order today 1t
was evident that the meeting
would prove lively one. 1t was
by far the largest gathering of poll
ticians ever assembled in the ter
ritory. Every county had nomi-
nee for national delegate and every
body seemed anxious to go to st.
Louis. There were two decided
factions on hand, one for McKin-
ley, the other favoring Reed, and
whatever other forecast OF the con-
vention's action might be 1t seemed
positive that the st. Louis delega-
ton would not be solid for either
one of the favored sons. The con-
vention will not meet till this after
noon and nothing will likely be
accomplished before the evening
session,

Spain Wants no War With U. S.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-A dis
patch to the Herald from Madrid
says: At meeting OF the cabinet
Senior Castillo the prime minister
had long talk with his colleagues
concerning the Cuban war and its
resulting complications with the
United States. Both the premier
and the minister for foreign affairs
spoke very hopefully Of the future.
Neither appeared to entertain any
fear OF further complications with
the United States and both ex.
pressed in most forcible terms
their confidence in the judgment
OF the American action in congress.
War with the United States is
generally considered to be entirely
out Of the question.

OHIN-RUSSIAN TREATY.
Chinese Papers Consider the Treaty ACtu-
ally Made,


SAN Francisco, March 2S.-The
North China Daily News prints
what is said to be a translation OF
secret treaty entered into be-
tween Russia and China. The
treaty allows Russia to mobilize
fleets therein, put in coal and sup
plies, recruit forces in Chinese
territory, buy horses, coolies, etc.
Russia is to have the use OF Port
Arthur as a winter harbor, but il
complications with other powers
should arise Russia may use any
other port on the coasts Of Kiang
Su and Che Kiang. In return,
Russia is to help China in case Of
war with other powers. Russia
will be permitted to build the ST.
berian railroad through Man.
churia. The line to be controlled
jointly for Is years by China and
Russia. At the end Of that time
China is to be allowed to PURCHASE
Russia's share of the branch road.
In order to protect this road Rus.
STA will be allowed to hold one OF
the islands near .Talien Hwsn.
Russia will also be allowed to
fortify points on Chinese territory
opposite Vladivostock. II Russis
and Japan should come to blows,
Russia is given permission to at
tack the western frontiers Of Ko.
rea by way of the Yalu river.
China will open her markets to
the sale of Russian goods, and
Russia will lend several hun
bred officers to drill about
100000 Chinese troops. This treaty
is taken seriously by the Chinese
papers and is believed to be au-
thentic.

in which The right Of the state Of
California to tax the franchises of

very severe, the wind reaching the
proportions Of hurricane in many

PERPETUAL MOTION AT LAST.
Count Won HoltzChurr Has Discovered
It, Or Thinks So.

- VI 4A4uh9 w.
OTTUwA, Iowa, March 2S.-It is
asserted here that Count Won
Holtzchurr of this city has dis
covered the principle OF perpetual
motion. The machine, as seen by
the reporter, is a decidedly simple
affair. 1t is in the shape of an in
verified bicycle, a common safety,
the wheels standing high in the
the air. The front wheel of the
cycle is the one to which the prin-
ciple is applied. The principle, in
SEPARATION or whatever it is, Is con-
tanned in an eighteen inch pine
box. Another groove in the box
admits the inflated tire and the
machinery inside drives the wheel.
The little box is kept locked, but
the bicycle wheel driven by the
wonderful mechanism inside re.
wolves away from one hours end
to the other and from midnight to
midnight at rate Of nearly 100
revolutions minute.
The count said: "The discovery
came to me In such a curious way
and / don't know much about
machinery either"
He will make no explanation Of
its workings, further than has been
seen.
Count Won Holtzchurr is about
80 years Of age and was born at
Jossey, Turkey. He traces his an.
cestry to 103 B. G. The family
name was bestowed because Of vic
tories won in the war with the
Saracens. He came to the United
States in 1867.

A SECRET MARRIAGE.
Kept It Fifteen Years For Fear of Dis
inheritance,

inheritance.
CHICAGO, March ga special
to the Tribune from st. Louis, Mo-,
says: For 10 years John Drake
Stevenson and Margaret NJ. Wylie
have had a great secret. He, the
son of Ben. Matthew Stevenson,
and grandson of the first govern
or of Illinois; and she, the daugh-
ter of respected Pennsylvania
couple, have been husband and
wife for number Of years. Fifteen
years ago Margaret NJ. Wylie,
while on visit from Pennsylva-
mia, met Stevenson. They eloped
and were married by a justice of
the peace at Bellevue. Their
daughter, a beautiful girl of II
years, was receiving a careful
training at Arcadia, Mo. After
the birth of their child, Mrs. Ste
venson went to Pennsylvania and
remained there until 1891. Then
she returned to st. Louis and she
and her husband were remarked
by priest, he being devout
Catholic. That the couple had
ever been married was known only
to a few, but there is one to whom
the news has never been broken.
1t was to keep her in ignorance
that the union has been a secret
one. This person is Stevenson's
mother, with whom he makes his
home. Since his first marriage no
has dreaded disinheritance in case
she heard he had chosen wife
without consulting her. She is
we'll along in years and doubtless
would have gone to her grave
without knowing it but for most
untoward event.
Last Monday Prof. Graham, a
dancing master, was arrested by
the United States officials on the
charge Of sending non mailable
letters through the post office.
They related to Mrs. Stevenson's
niece who used to be Graham's as
sistant. The notoriety given Mrs.
Stevenson by the arrest OF Graham
let slip the tongue OF some gossip
who knew the story of the secret
marriage. The talk prompted
Mrs. Stevenson to make known
her romantic story.

WEYLER TALKS SENSE.
But His Ideas of Spanish Rule in Cuba
Will Not Go.

" IA wv wv
NEW YORK. March ga dis
patch to the World from Havana
says: Capt. Gen. Weyler said last
night: 81 have all along had con-
fidence in the sober, practical ma
ture OF North American people. l
recognize that in a country where
the people constitute the govern
ment freedom of speech is natural,
even il carried to the extent Of
license rather than liberty.
az was surprised at some Of the
speeches delivered in the senate re-
Gently, but l acquit every distin-
guished senator who employed
strong language against my coun-
try and against myself of what
might be construed to. be inten-
tional Misrepresentation. am
confident that their use of the Ian.
guage of denunciation was due to
misinformation. A we'll known
statesment like Sherman, would
not at the close of his long career
in public service deliberately ira
duce a friendly nation, neither
would he, as a gentleman, inten-
tionally caluminate an individual.
GAS regards myself care moth
ing except that l naturally do not
wish the world at large to believe
me to be a different person from
the one / really am. Apublic man
must expect criticism and a SOL
der must receive as we'll as give
blows. The assaults made on me
personally were false, one and all.
The eminent senators who made
them had listened to false tongues
and they had pursued false books.
When so eminent senator as
Sherman states in the senate that
the autonomist party Of Cuba have
only one representative in the
Spanish parliament, it Is not
strange that he should be deluded
by equally incorrect statements.
With the dissemination OF true in
formation | believe the senators
realized their mistake.
~ certainly have no unkind
feelings with respect to the at
tacks on myself, but l do resent
the unjustifiable affronts offered
my country. Spain fulfills all her
treaty obligations readily and goes
further than to stand on the letter
of the international agreement.
American citizens in Spain and
| especially in Cuba obtain more
privileges than Spanish subjects,
even though many OF the so-called
American citizens whom we recog-
nize have no moral right to the
title.
"When the fact is apparent that
Spain is acting in the most friend
ly manner toward the North Amer
lean republic it is not strange that
the Spaniards should except SINH
lar spirit to be displayed by the
American people. International
law Is based on the cardinal prin-
ciples that should regulate the co.,

same as those Of a man before the

Much lrrltated by the Dongola Expedl-
ton.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, March 2S.-
The council OF ministers which was
held at the Palace on March LIST,
exhaustively discussed the situa.
ton in Egypt. Both the palace
authorities and the Porte were
greatly annoyed at the fact that
Turkey had not been consulted In
regard to the .Dongola expedition,
and was also irritated because of
the Khedive's having ignored the
Porte in the matter and messages
was addressed to Mauhktar Pasha,
high commissioner Of the Porte in
Egypt, representing him for not
having put stop to the expedi.
ton.
The ministers addressed an ap.
peal to France and Russia request
ing them to intervene to the end
OF regulating the position Of Egypt,
and Germany was also asked to
use her good offices in the same di-
rection.
It is believed in we'll informed
circles that the action Of the Porte
in this matter was. taken at the
instance of France and Russia.

dor to Great Britain has been in.
structed to make representations
