Madrid, March 4.-Senor Elduyaen, who was recently appointed minister of foreign affairs in succession to the Duke of Tetuan, has resigned, A meeting of the cabinet was held this evening, at which Senor Elduyaen announced that he had rendered his resignation because it was considered desirable that the same minister who begins negotiations with the United States and other countries in re- gard to Cuba should complete them. It is understood that the Duke of Tetuan will succeed the retiring foreign minis ter and that he will take the oath of of flee tomorrow At the meeting it was de- cided that the universities should be closed for the present. The ministers also agreed to an unlimited credit for the pur- pose of purchasing artillery and to call for recruits of naval infantry and sailors.
 A demonstration was attempted this afternoon by the students of the univer- sity, but the police were on the alert and the disorderly proceedings were speedily suppressed. Later 400 students of the schools of medicine and a number of citizens who had joined them were dis persed by the police. They soon reas- sembled however, whistling and jeering the officers.

 It is asserted upon good authority that Spain is now in communication with sev- eral European ministries with the view of securing their agreement to joint protest In the event that President Cleveland declares the belligerency of Cuba. Demonstrations and meetings to protest against the action of the Ameri- can senate and the house of representa- tives continue in the provinces. They are almost wholly participated in by students. Yesterday demonstrations took place in Saragossa, Barcelona, San tiago, Malaga, Alcala, Balbao and Cadiz. None of them were of any particular inn portance, and they were all easily dis persed by the police. Armed trans-At- lantic steamers will begin March 20 to act as cruisers.

bishop of St. Louis with the right of suc-

DlSnOp or St, LOUIS, Wlln the flSnt or sue cession.
 On Bishop Rosati's death in 1S43 Bish- op Kendrick became actual bishop of St. Louis and in 1S47 St. Louis was elevated into an arch diocese and Bishop Kendrick became it's first archbishop. During the fifty years of his administration of the affairs of the diocese he encountered and overcame many obstacles. The celebra- tion of his golden jubilee occurred on No vember 30, 1891, and was characterized by such brilliant and imposing religious cer- on the American continent. Owing to his advanced years the venerable prelate has of late been unable to properly ad- minister the affairs of the diocese and many unsuccessful attempts were made to induce him to consent that a coadjutor be appointed. It was well known that he desired that the late Father Brady vicar general of the diocese, should sue ceed him as archbishop but owing to the manifest opposition from a number of the clergy to the appointment of Fa- ther Brady the archbishop labored as best he could without the assistance of a coadjutor until in 1894 Bishop John J. Kain of Wheeling, w. Va, was appointed to that office. On September 5, 1895, Arch bishop Kendrick withdrew from the ad- miniStration of affairs, and since which time he has lived the life of a recluse in the magnificent residence on Lindell boulevard. presented to him"by the Cath olics of St. Louis on the occasion of his golden jubilee.

ANOTHER F1LIBUsTER FAILURE.
A Schooner and Her Cargo of Arms and
 Ammunition Captured.


 Tampa, Fla, March 1.-The revenue cutter Morrill, arrested the schooner Stephen R. Mallory at Long Boat inlet at o'clock yesterday on the charge of be- ing a filibuster. The Merrill arrived at Port Tampa Saturday and sailed yester- day at 3 o'clock under sealed orders. She proceeded straight to the gulf, and it is said that she had instructions to arrest both the Mallory and the Ardell. The Mallory was sighted off Long Boat, and it is said that the cutter had to send a shot across her bows before she would lay to. On being boarded it was found that she had a crew of five men besides the captain, all Americans, and was heavily loaded with arms and ammuni- tion. The cutter has arrived at the port with the schooner and reported the cap- ture to Collector of Customs Leslie, who has reported the matter to the depart ment at Washington and placed the schooner in charge of a deputy United States marshal.
 It has been rumored in this city for several days that the Mallory and Ardell would sail for Cuba with ammunition for the insurgents. and Vice Consul Soils has been on the alert and it is rumored had already notified the authorities at Wash ington of the intention of the two boats.
 The Mallory is only six months old. She is forty tons, fast and seaworthy, and is owned by Cottrell & Finlayson of Cedar Keys, the former of whom is col lector of customs at that port. The arms are supposed to be the same that were seized near Cedar Keys several months ago by the authorities. The cargo of the Mallory is valued at $20,000. Her papers show that she was cleared from Cedar Keys for Fort Myers.

A Telegram From London Announces a
 Postponement of the Ceremony.
 Atlanta, March 4.-The negro ascen- sionists who expect to be carried up into heaven on Friday morning received a cablegram this morning from a London newspaper informing them that the date of the ascension had been postponed for seven years and seven months. The ascensionists are greatly excited and de- clare that they will go up any way and that London authorities can't defer the trip. The idea of the ascensionists is that power which will come in whirl- wind will lift them up into the clouds, where they will reside for five years, when they expect to return to earth. In the meantime however, they say that the earth will be burned over and only righteous will remain. The band of as- censionists numbers about 100 members here. Their faith Is strong. One of them left home yesterday morning, lock- ing her two children up in the house. She was so carried away with religious fervor that she forgot to return home, and tonight the police broke into the house and found the children nearly starved The members of the band are giving away or selling all their posses siohs. Most of them give their chattels to friends, believing that they will have no further use for household articles. The leader of the band Is an ignorant ne- gro named John Smith. He has been holding nightly meetings in the south eastern part of the city for two months.

quested by them as provided in the
constitution, and has also by the fol-
owing section 1928 assured authorized
him to employ such forces, upon his
own judgment alone against unlawful
distractions, combinations or assem-
bIageS OF persons in whatever state or
t t, thereof, the laws of the Uni
ted States may be forcibIy opposed or
the execution thereof obstructed.
II was under the power conferred by
the section last named that the late re-
peIllon was suppressed. Mr.. Bryan's
doctrine that this law is unconstltu-
tlonal is more dangerous than is seces-
sion; the latter at least gave the gov
eminent some power and authority in
the territory which chose to remain.
Mr.. Bryan'S words make it the idle
mim1cry of state.
1t was no more intended to make the
general government dependent upon
the states with respect to the matters
committed to it than to make the states
subject to the general government with
respect to the rights reserved for them
As the general government is author
lied to maintain a regular army and
navy, which the states cannot do, as
the militia of the states is subject to
the direct call of the president, it was
natural that the states should be made
to call upon it for aid, but that was no
occasion why it should call upon it to
protect itself
What I have said is well known to
lawyers and students of the constitu-
I will recall in this connection the fol-
lowing resolution proposed by the Hon.
F. w. Daniel of Virginia, who was pres
ident of the convention which nominal
ed Bryan, which was passed by the
senate July, 1895, Congressional Record,
page 1868, Withou apparent dissent:
Resolved, That the senate indOrSes
the prompt and vigorous measures
adopted by the president of the United
States and the members of his admin
istration to repulse and repress by mil
itary force the Interference of laWless
men with the due process of the laws
of the United States and with the trans
portation of the mails of the United
States and with commerce between the
states. The action of the president and
his administration has the full sympa-
thy and support of the law abiding
masses of the United States and will be
supported by all departments of the
government and by the power and re-
sources of the entire nation
It must be that Mr.. Bryan, amid the
many demands on his time and atten-
ton, has fallen into an inadVerteLCHy
I cannot believe that he really thinks
the president has no power under the
constitution and laws to maintain the
government intrusted to his charge.
Nor can believe that Mr.. Bryan means
to promise or to make the people think
he would not interfere, if he be elected,
if similar riots to those of 1894 should
arise during his term
I will not lightly question his ability
as a, lawyer nor his sincerity as a man.

MAY BE WAR IN AFRICA.
Between England and Germany Over
the Sultan ofzanzibar's Possessions.

Zanzibar, Sept. 1.-THE belief is prev
alent here that Germany does not in
tend to acquiesce in the action taken by
the British government, through Rear
Admiral Henry Lawson, in appointing
HamOud Bin Mohammed Bin Said SUI
tan of Zanzibar. Said Khalid. the al
legged usurper, has been at the German
consulate ever since the fall of the pal
ace on August q, and in spite of the
request of the British consul for his
surrender there has been no disposition
manifested on the part of the German
officials to give him Up.
Rumors are now in circulation here
that it is the intention of the German
authorities to reinstate Said on the
throne from which he was deposed by
force of British arms. These rumors
have caused great uneasiness here. It
is certain Germany is not acting in
friendly spirit.
