The steamship Laurnda Did Not Enter
the Spunish Port.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-A cable dis
patch announcing that the notorious steam
ship I.aurada has sailed directly from Pa
lermo for Gibraltar. instead of forcing her
way into the harbor> of Valencia. gave
great satisfaction to the officials here who
feared that international trouble was about
10 be caused without adequate reason. IL
was admitted that as matter OF law the
I.aurada had a right to enter any Spanish
port in time OF peace, as at present. II
was. moreover. not doubted that the Span
ish officials AT Valencia would see TO IL
that she enjoyed her treaty rights so far
as they were able TO insure them. But
Valencia has always been regarded as "A
dangerous spot, subject to riots and popu-
lar spasms OF violence and IL was feared
here that the appearance there OF the
Iaurada known To have beer in the service
of the Cuban insurgents. would be resented
by the excitable populace. that rioting and
bloodshed would follow. and perhaps
through an attack upon the United States
consulate a causus belli might result.
Therefore the officials here breathed easier
when II was made known To them that
the vessels owners concluded 10 avoid
trouble by taking on their cargo at Glib
raltar. instead Of q Valencia.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Members of the
steel rail pool held a conference here to-
day. Those prominent In the negotiations

Steel Company; w. f. Scranton, of the
-J.ackawanna Iron and Steel Company:
Robert z. Linderman, of the Bethlehem
Iron Company. and Mr.. Stackhouse. of the
Cambria Iron Company. The most i'm
portant subjects discussed concerned the
allotment and percentage matters. Some
of the interests represented in the pool
have been specially dissatisfied with the
percentage arrangement and asked to-day
for a more liberal basis. One of the per-
sons interested explained the difficulty by
saying that certain parties desired a $50
per cent distribution when there was only
100 per cent. 10 be divided. This remark
referred chiefly to the arrangement pro-
posed for the coming year. A committee
was finally appointed to consider the mat

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Pawnbrokers all
over this country and Canada have been
swindled by an elaborate scheme which was
operated from this city as a centre The
men engaged in it overworked the fraud
when they found it succeeded easily, and
two of them have been arrested here. Their
names are John Palmer and George Will
son. Palmer says he is a jeweler; Wilson
a printer from Philadelphia. The decep-
ton was through the pretense that the
watches they offered to pawn were all gold

pawn brokers was of this metal. Works

A large audience assembled in Music
Hall last evening to hear Eugene v.
Debs. VINO acquired prominence and
notoriety during the Pullman strike OF
two years ago, speak on the labor ques-
tion. James Read OF Olneyvilie was the
presiding officer of the evening and he
made a brief address, principally I'm ia
vor OF socialistic IDEAS that he claimed
coincided with the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and w. ID. Howells. Mr.. Da-
Wis introduced Mr.. Debs In very neat
style.
Mr.. Debs was warmly received.
In his speech he denounced the courts
oi the country, especially the Supreme
Court, IN round terms and intimated
sharply that the latter was susceptible O
the power OF money. He denounced TIE
chief magistrates OF the nation for send
ing troops during the great strike into
tho State OF Illinois 10 protect property,
and some folks who expected President
Cleveland TO be mentioned by name
were disappointed, but they Missed just
the same, when Mr.. Debs referred to
the chief magistrate.
Another institution that the orator was
especially severe on was the press, which
he declared was slave 10 the money

were really in no danger, for even had
the sterner members OF the audience had
bad intentions toward the reporters there

young ladies seated near them who would
certainly have protected the newspaper
fellows from harm.
Mr.. Debs gave his side OF the Pullman
strike ana OF the action taken by the
railroad employees and 1t Is needless to
say he won the warm approval OF his
audience, for he has a very persuasive
manner. he denounced private gain as
against the public welfare and quoted
quite extensively from different authori-
ties to support his views.
At the close of his address, which
lasted over two hours he was given an
ovation. On the platform during the
evening were seated representatives OF
labor organizations allied to the Central
Labor Union. During the meeting a
collection was taken mp for the striking
