records, meets will also be held.

How Newsboys Were Enabled
to Give Them Away
Yesterday.
Clay Street Excited Over a Generous
Distribution of Useless
Gossamers.

"Buy paper and get an overcoat free, u
yelled an excited newsboy, as he dashed
up and down Montgomery street, between
Clay and Sacramento, yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock, with bulky bundle Of
evening papers under one arm and still
heavier package of gossamer waterproof
coats under the other.
Passers by looked at him in amazement,
for the most glaringly advertised fire sale
never offered any such inducements as
that, and their surprise was increased
when half a dozen other boys appeared
similarly laden and with like appeals for
custom. Not a few pedestrians took ad-
vantage of the bargains and received coats
and papers in exchange for their nickels.
There was no question of the coats being
genuine. but the trouble was to use them.
All were neatly folded, but so stuck to-
gether by the influence of heat that it was
impossible to separate them, and the ma
jority were soon tossed away by the dis
gusted purchasers after the garments had
been torn in vain efforts to separate skirts
from sleeves or from each other.
The manner in which the boys acquired
possession of the coats was as laughable
as their customers efforts to loosen the
folds of the gossamers.
Just before o'clock an express wagon
heavily laden drove up in front of one of
the many employment offices that flourish
along the north side of Clay street, between
Montgomery and Kearny. The driver
looked around for a moment and then said
to young man who looked curiously at
his load:
want rain coat2''
Of course the fellow wanted q rain coat
though rainy weather is still far distant,
and he promptly came forward to receive
the present. News of that kind spreads
quickly and before ne had had time to
take careful look at his prize others
came forward and seeing that there was
no objection began to select coats for
themselves. Next the crowds of men
lettering about the employment offices
rushed in for share and were followed
by dozens from the saloons opposite.
Men walking along Montgomery and
Kearny streets half block distant each
way caught the infection and Joined the
throng, and inside of three minutes the
wagon was surrounded by a pushing,
shouting, persplring mob, fighting for
coats.
Before the load, which contained several
hundred garments, was exhausted the ex-
pressman became frightened for fear that
the crowd collected by his generosity
might cause his arrest for obstructing
the street. and drove away, followed by
the portion of the crowd that was IN
satisfied.

ATTORNEY QUIIZoW'S WEIR
Denies That He and His Wife swind1ed
Carpenter Clune.

Attorney III. w. Outflow yesterday filed
his answer to the suit of Carpenter John
Clune, who alleges that Outflow swindled
him out of sS1O5.
Outflow denies severa!ly and collectively
the allegations OF the plaintiff. He says
that Clune resided in his (Quitzow's)
house OF his own volition and was not So
iicltcd to come there. 1t is acknowledged
that IN 1890 and 1891 Outflow received
from Clune S2825 for stock of the River,
Harbor and Canal Dredging and Land
Company, but he says that the stock be-
ionged to Outflow and was not purchased
Dy him for Clune. 1t was not transferred to
Clune because he requested that it be left
in Quitzow's name.
For further and separate answer, it is
alleged that the clause is iEvalidated by
the statute of limitation.
In regard to the Emigrant mining prop
erty, all the allegations of the plaintiff are
Denied. 1t is also claimed that the case
has already been tried and decided in
favor OF Outflow by Judge Trout.

An Honorable Position In Africa Is Italy's

ROME, March 18.-Premier Di Rudini
presented the new cabinet to the chamber
of deputies yesterday.
In his speech announcing their accept
ance Of Office and his own, he denied the
truth OF the rumors Of tho govern ment's
acceptance of proposals for peace with
Abysslnia, and announced that the gov
ernmcnt would ask for a credit of li0, ,0O0,-
600 lire for the purpose of continuing the
campaign until Italy had obtained an
honorable situation.
He rejected the policy OF colonial ex-
pansion, but he said, IL would be danger
Gus TO Italian interests to renouncc the
territory of the Tiqre. Still, the govern
ment did not wish 10 impose an Italian
protectorate upon Abyssinia. Tho gov
crnment, he declared, sought order inter-
nally, and fidelity TO the triple alliance
externally.
The c;cdit asked for by Premier Rudini
was voted unanimously, and this called
forth prolonged scene of enthusiasm.

Bosroy, March 1s.-The hearing on the
Whitney gas bill was resumed before tho
committee on manufactures, Mr.
Kittredge, for the Brookline Gas co. ,any,
declared the Whitney charter TO bc worth
less for business purposes, but as being
worth q good deal as n means for levying

distinctly bad. One expert said, among
other things, that the coke made from the
Dominion coal - upon which so much
stress has been lad-is worthless.

Perhaps the most startling one In the lot

ported against the petition for legislation

containing poisonous ingredients.
In the house no legislation necessary

MORGAN'S DAY.
DE LONE Turned Down In Argument on
Cuban Resolutions.

Cuban Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, March lS.-The Cuban
debate in the senate is drawing to close,
and the expectation is that final vote
will be taken possibly tomorrow. Mr..
Sherman is keeping The question before
the senate continuously SO that the
speeches are not likely to last much
longer. Mr.. Mills (Tex.) and MIR. Piatt
(Conn.) are yet to be heard, but their re.
marks will not be lengthy.
Mr. Morgan (Ala.) occupied almost tho
entire session yesterday, speaking until
9 o'clock last night in support OF the
resolutions 1t was mainly an argument,
without dramatic interest. The senator
severely arraigned Minister de LONE for
improperly in criticising senator's. He
also recited many evidences Of the severi-
ties and atrocities with which Spain was
prosecuting the war. Mr.. Morgan said
he feared that the fanaticism of Spain
would lead her to take up the gauge OF
war, no matter how mild and proper the
course OF congress might be.
The house devoted the day to the bill to
amend the administrative tariff act OF
1890, and passed IL without substantial
amendment. The purpose of tho bill Is to
strengthen the act of 1890, some weak
spots having been developed during tho
