A Campaign of Blood and Fire.

Havana, Jan. 31.-The alarming news
reaches here from Madrid that Gen.
Wcyler assured intimate friends be-
fore his departure from Spain that he
intends to inaugurate blood and fire
campaign Immediately on his arrival
here. The dispatch states that he will
issue proclamation in which he will
demand that the rebels lay down their
arms within eight days. If his orders
are not complied with by that time
he will cause all rebels to be seized
by the troops, and, after brief court
martial, will cause them to be exc
cuted. The proclamation is to include
all abettors of the revolution, and ready
punishment will be dealt out to all
who are known to sympathize with the
insurgents.

The Silver Bill Passes.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 1.-The long
contest over the silver bond bill is at an
end in the senate, that body having
passed the free coinage substitute to the
house bond bill by the decisive vote of
AZ to IS, ma iority of seven for free sill
yer. This result was reached at 3o'clock
today, after three hours of caustic de-
bate and sharp parliamentary fencing
1t had been expected that a final vote
would be taken at 2 o'clock, but a con-
dict of opinion arose as to the agree
ment, resulting in considerable bitter
ness and personal feeling. Many
amendments were pending when 2
o'clock came. and these were summary
cut off by strict construction of the
agreement, although the differences
over the agreement itself held off the
vote for an hour behind the time set.
The result was such a foregone conclu-
sion that little excitement or surprise
was occasioned by the announcement
of the passage of the substitute.
The bill passed as substitute for the
bond bill provides that the mints of the
United States shall be open to the
coinage of silver and the dollar shall
be the present weight and fineness, and
also provides for the certificates. It
further provides for the coinage of the
seignorage now in the treasury and
authorizes immediate issue of certifi-
Gates upon the same in advance of it
being carried. One section of the bill
provides that no bank note of less than
$40 shall hereafter be issued, and those
outstanding of less amount shall be
taken up and cancelled as rapidly as
possible. Section 4 provides that the
greenbacks and treasury notes shall
be redeemed in standard silver dollars
or in gold coin, at the option of the
treasury, and the greenbacks when so
redeemed shall be Immediately re-
issued.
Mr.. Mills, who voted with the silver
men on all test motions, changed and
voted against the bill.

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Opinion on the Congressional AppOr-
tionment Act of 1895 IN Indiana.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-The SUI
preme court of Indiana in a sweeping
opinion unanimously decided Thursday
that gerrymanders for Legislative pur-
poses are unconstitutional. The de-
clsion is that the apportionment act OF
the legislature of 1895 is void because it
was passed at time not authorized ny
the constitution, and that the act OF 1893
is unconstitutional because it sought
to gerrymander the state for political
advantage. The act of 1898 was
democratic measure. In December,
1898, the courts held that the acts of
1891 and 1898 were unconstitutional, so
that going back to the first valid act, or
the first act unquestioned, the 'odrt
holds that the election of a legislature
next November must be held under the
act of 1885, which was a democratic
measure.
The decision brings about this situa-
ton: The governor may exercise his
prerogative and call special meeting
IF the general assembly to enact new
law, or the republicans may challenge
the act of 1885 and secure its nullitica-
ton before the coming election II
neither of these steps should be taken,
the election must be held under the act
Of 1885. 1t is practically settled that
the governor viii not call a special ses-
sion. The court points out that the
members of the present legislature were
elected under a law that has been held
to be void, and That they are members
de facto only. 1t is doubted by the
court if a defacto legislature would have
the power to enact new law. If the re-
publicans should maintain successful
suit to set the act of 1885 aside, the next
act in line, going backward, wouid be
the act of 1873, which was republican
measure.

An exchange furnishes some valuable
and timely advice relative to the purchase
of q wheel. Among other things it says:
Weight is one of the most important
things to be considered in buying a bioy
Gle, because it involves so many others
The ordinary rider ought not to purchase
an extremely light wheel When the road
leads over rough places, such as railroad
crossings, a moderately heavy wheel gives
one a feeling Of security that cannot be
enjoyed on a too lightly constructed ma
chine. The latter bends and tren bles and
transmits its own vibration into the riders
frame in a way that causes a belief that
the machine is going to collapse On
wheel of ordinary weight all that feeling
of insecurity is changed to one Of ease
The ordinary weight bicycle feels rigid and
strong under the rider, and only the heav-
Ter bumps are felt. For country riding adj
vantage is assuredly with the medium
weight wheel. 1t viii stand a pounding
and humping that would quickly wrench
the very light machine out of shape.

players get injured. But when team
strikes what is flgurativeIy called the Ito
