Answers Il Letter of the President
of the Pence Society.
LONDON. March 23.-Lord Salisbury has
sent a reply to the memorial in favor of
Anglo-American arbitration Of the Venezue-
Ian question adopted by the Peace society
recently. The reply is addressed to Rt.
Hon. James Stansield, who presided at the
meeting. Lord Salisbury says: ~ am glad
to be able to inform you that this question
is receiving the consideration of the govern
ment, and that proposals in the direction in
dlcated by the memorial are now before the
government OF the United States"
The Daily News QiberaD has an editorial
on Lord Salisbury's reply to the memorial
of the Peace association, in which 1t says:
Lord Salisbury's letter is the most hopeful
word we have had for a long time from the
premier. We hope that it portends a def
mite clearing of the international situation
in one of the s.ormiest quarters. We may
even dream that 1t will presage a new and
brighter era in the worlds history.
at is not perfectly clear whether the
question has been advanced a stage or
whether the government has merely con-
firmed and adopted Lord Rosebery's policy.
II Lord Salisbury is able to convert his
words into deeds, he will go far to make
his present term of Office illustrious and
benefic!ent."
The Chronicle. also liberal, echoes the
Daily News hopss that the United States
will reciprocate our good will. "If 80" the
Chronicle adds, there is no need to trouble
ourselves further about Venezuela"

INSURGENTS FIR ON EACH OTHER
Losses Reported to Have Occurred
on Roth Sides.

Losses Reported to Have Occurred
on Roth Sides.
HAVANA, March 23.-The insurgents have
burned forty houses in the village of Punta
Bravura and on the farm of San Ramon,
in the Sancti Spiritus district of Santa
Clara.
1t is stated the insurgent bands com
manded by Toledo and Maceo recently fired
upon each other through a clump of woods,
causing losses on both sides, and has also
given rise to a very bitter feeling between
the two parties. The report that the in
s,rgentS hanged five peaceful laborers near
Remedies turns out to be incorrect. A dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba says the au-
thorities of Baracoa, that province, have
obtained possession of three empty boats
which are believed to have belonged to a
steamer which recently landed a fillbuster-
ing expedition on that coast.
In spite of denials from insurgent sources,
five Spanish soldiers affirm that Quintin
Bandera, the insurgent leader, died from
the wounds which he received in a recent
engagement with the government forces.
Major Moncada, at Hayo Colorado, prov
ince of Havana, has had a skirmish with
the insurgents, who lost five men killed.
Colonel Martin, in the Sancti Spiritus dis
trict Of the province of Santa Clara, had
a brush with the enemy, killing five insur-
gents and capturing several prisoners and
a quantity of baggage. One of the men
captured had in his possession a document
which set forth that it had been issued
by the insurgent minister for the interior.
AT the San Martin plantation, near Ma
t~anzas, Colonel Molina, in operating against
the insurgents, killed four of the latter. The
insurgents retired with their wounded Dur
ing several skirmishes in the provinces of
Havana and Matanzas recently the insur-
gents lost nine killed, the troops captured
two prisoners and three soldiers were
wounded, including DR.. Albarana.
The authorities of Matanzas have re-
leased from the prison at that place 144
persons who were confined there as war or
political prisoners.
The insurgents have burned a grocery
store at Bacarunio, near Guanabacao, not
far from this city.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The presidential
boom in New York City of William Nc
kinley was launched at Cooper Union to-
night. The hall was well filed. Over the
center Of the stage was a lifesize picture
Of Mckinley, framed with tin plates. I'm
derneath the picture was a silk banner, with
the following in gold letters: 1.-THE anti
machine republican organization Of the city

and the way to earn it," and on the left
was a banner with the inscriptions: civilian
Mckinley, prosperity's advance AGENT
Major Lowell Jerome called the meeting
to order. Major jerome introduced as chair
man of the meeting General Wagner
Swayne. The meeting, he said, had been
called to make plain to the people of this
state and throughout the country, and to
the delegates to the convention about to be
held, that the second choice for president Of
the United States was William Mckinley.
(Cheers) Governor Morton, he said, had
rendered valuable service to the state. He
hoped the convention would go for Morton,
but 1t appeared the sentiment of the county
was for Mckinley. -
General Swayne introduced as the next
speaker Senator Frank ID. Pavey of this

sion under the democratic administration.
When the presidential term of Harrison ex-
pired, he said, the country was in a pros

opposition. But General Harrison was not
a candidate, and had so announced to the
public. With Harrison out, who so At for the
nomination as William Mckinley? From one
end OF the country to the other, the people
were alive with enthusiasm for his nomina-
tion.
When Senator Pavey had finished John Mil
holland offered for adoption the following
resolutions:

Takes Tn n Question.
INDIANAPOLIS March % Tho nxncn.


INDIANAPOLIS, March 23.-The execu-
tive committee OF the National Federation
Of Labor began its conference in this city
today. Those present were; President Com
pers, Secretary August McGraith. p. J. Ma
guire Of Philadelphia, first vice president;
James Duncan Of Baltimore, second vice pres
ident; James O'Connell Of Chicago, third vice
president. and N. NJ. Garland of Pittsburg.
fourth vice president. The conference lasted
until a late hour this evening, and was de-
voted chiefly to the discussion of the best
means of bringing about an eight-hour day.
1t was the sentiment that a concerted effort
should be made, and in order to devise ways
and means, the matter was referred to a sub
committee, composed Of Messrs. Mcguire,
Lennon and O'Connell. There are three ma
tional organizations-the Carpenters, Iron Ore
Workers and Horseshoers-who have volun-
teered to do anything that the council may
order to bring about thatdesired result.
1t was given out by Secretary McGraith
that the Carpenters National union will
probably be selected to make the test, and
when questioned, he said 1t was not only
possible, but probable, that the council will
order a strike Of this union throughout the
country, in order to bring about the desired
result. The secretaty's report submitted to-
day shows a marked increase in the fedora
tons finances and memberships, two char
tiers having been issued so far this year, to
one during the same time last year.

MINISTER'S DENoUNcE SOCIALISTS.
Accused of Mixing Lies with n Little
T-utI,

CsuSS VI -"iAi"G LIVE ~ " bhss'S
Truth.
BERLIN, March 23.-In the Reichstag to-
day a question was asked regarding the pub
LEGATION without authorization in January
last, by the Voerwarts, of the amnesty de-
cree. The minister for war, General Bron-
sart Won Schellendorf, replied that socialist
workmen had been induced to steal 1t by
their socialist tenets, and therefore social
ism connived at the act. The general pro-
ceeded to deliver an indictment Of the prin-
ciples of the socialists, and cited a number
of cases in support of his assertions. He de-
clared, for instance, that Herr Bebel, the
socialist leader, had frequently allowed men
to tell him lies, and then came to the
Reichstag as the mouthpiece Of gross I'M
truths. His (Bebel's) assertion of arbitrary
conduct and injustice in the army, said the
general, was unfounded. The army, he in
sisted, was above these charges and attacks.
Cheers from the conservatives and uproar
upon the part OF the socialists.)
Herr Liebknecht replied that the abstrsc-
ton of the amnesty decree was a harmless
act.
The minister for war pointed out that the
publication in the middle class press of drafts
of bills, which could only be obtained by a
breach of confidence, was in every way rep
rehensible. '.r.-
During the course Of a stormy debate upon
the subject which followed, the president of
the Reichstag, Baron Won ol-Perenberg,
frequently called Herr Bebel to order for
violent language. The latter asserted that
the court which sentenced the publishers of
the amnesty decree was biased, and he ac-
cused conservatives of suppressing rascality.
Baron Won Hammerstein and several con-
servatives followed. They charged Herr
Bebel with having mixed truth with lies and
then exaggerated the result. The debate
was adjourned.

Unable to Secure u on
Account of Absent Witnesses.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.-The trial
of Mrs. Mary A. Davidson, charged with
having extorted $500 from Rev. C. o. Brown,
was begun in the superior court today.
The attorney for the defense moved for a
continuance on the ground that Miss Mat
tie Overman and Mrs. Tunnel, necessary
witnesses to the defense, were absent, one
in Mexico and the other near the Mexi-
can border. Counsel said he inteded to
prove by these witnesses that a conspiracy
was formed between DR.. Brown, Matte
Overman and Mrs. Tunnel to falsely ac-
cuse and convict Mrs. Davidson of black
mail. He added that the absent witnesses
were being supplied with money by DIR.
Brown to absent themselves from the city
at this time. All these statements were
supported by affidavits Of Mrs. Davidson,
afterward filed. The court denied the mo-
tion for a continuance, stating that the
absent witnesses were beyond his j~urisdlc-
ton and would not probably be within his
jurisdiction. The defendant excepted to the
decision and the rest of the day was &C.
cupied with the attempt to secure a jury.

by Fire.
PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-Chestnut
street, west of Fifteenth, was tonight visited
by a destructive fire, which broke out about
5 o'colck, in. the s~ix-story building of the
Thackera Manufacturing company, makers
and dealers in fancy gas fixtures and can
delabra, at 1524-26 Chestnut street. The
firm employs about 200 hands, who were at
work at the time. The fire was not dis
covered until it had eaten it's way from the
front cellar through the first floor. Before
the engines arrived the entire front part of
the building was on fire. Meanwhile a ma
jority of the workmen made their escape.
About a dozen or more, however, were
hemmed in, and had to be taken from the
windows, The building is owned by Will
liam Wrightman, and is valued at $500 900,
fully insured. The rear part was but slightly
damaged. The loss on the building is about
$3.50, 900. The Thackera company's stock,
machinery and patterns were valued at about
$3.50, 900. These are a total loss, but are pro-
tected by an insurance of about $3.50, 900.
Sharpless & Watts, makers of titles and
mosaics, in the Baker building adjoining,
lose about 100000, principally by water.

CT the bill introduced by Mr.. Long, president

opinion that the proposals contained in Mr..

from the United States.
