Attempt to Destroy the Palace at Havana
With Dynamite.
HAVANA, April 28.-(Copyrighted by
Associated Press. IAN explosion of
what is believed to be dynamite, or
some high explosive, occurred in the
palace of the governor general at 11:20
this morning while correspondent
of the Associated Press was waiting In
the anti-room. There was sharp
noise, and the sound of breaking glass
and falling plaster on all sides.
Part of the roof fell in. The ex-
plosion occurred in a closet in the
basement which was converted into a
heap of rubbish. The walls were torn
and great stones fell. A printer be.
longing to the captain-general's office
was wounded. The greatest excite
ment prevails. The explosion is at
tributed to the insurgents.

The reduction of salaries and public
expenditures in general, and the re-
lief from the crushing burdens of tax
alton are objects which the people
should not lose sight OF. In making
choice of those who shall represent US
in the legislature this should be kept
in view. Only such men as are known

EDITORIAL NOTES.


The republican party has renomi-
mated nine of the members who were
in the last lanented state legislature.
Thus to that extent it indorses the
acts of those looters OF the treasury.
That new lock scheme may have
been originated with the government
engineers at the Cascades, or with the
contractors, but is it not possible that
it originated in the futile mind of that
versatile knight of the quill, Mr.. Frank
Middleton, Of the Oregonian.

A JEALoUs HUSBANDS CRIME.
Murders His Wife, Then Blows Out his
Brains.


SEATTLE, April 29.-Albot Rieulff
blew out the brains of his wife, Julia,
hile she slept at his side, in their
room at the Pease lodging-house, at 6
o'clock this morning, and then placing
the barrel Of the 3i-calibre revolver
against his own temple, killed himself.
Rieulff's step-daughter slept in the
next room. She heard the shots, and
rushing into the room saw that her
father and mother were dead. She
cody put up the window, locked the
door, and then rushing out to neigh
Dor, she aroused her and the two went
down town and hunted up the coroner.
Jealousy caused the crime. Rieulff
who was mulatto, was working as a
waiter in leading hotel of the city.
Yesterday he told George Stevens, a
fellow-waiter, that some one had told
him that a number of married women
were running about the city with other
men, when their husbands were at
work.
''If I find out that my wife is among
them, will kill her," said the waiter.
81 expect to find out tonight"
Rieulf sat up in bed while he killed
his wife, and his body was found in
that position by the coroner.

Wiped Out by Fire.
SPoKANA, April 2s.-A special to
the Spokesman-Reyiew from Nelson,
B. c., says: The town of Ainsworth,
on the west shore of Lake Kootenai, is
smoldering heap of ashes and cinders
today. Fire broke out last night and
found the town absolutely without pro-
lection. The citizens did all they
could, but were powerless to check the
flames until every hotel and business
house had been burned. A few goods
were saved, but in most cases the loss
is believed to be practically total.
The dwellings lying north of the busi-
ness district along the shore of the
lake are separated by considerable
distance from the stores and were
saved. The total loss is about forty
thousand dollars. The insurance is
small,

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Represen-
tative Hermann has reported his arid.
land bill to the house, with such
amendments as the general land Office
and the secretary of the interior rec
ommended. Mr.. Hermann says that
the changes which his bill makes in
the Carey act will allow Oregon to
take advantage of the grant of 1,000,-
600 acres of arid lands. This grant is
to the state, and is to be turned over to
persons reclaiming the lands in lots of
160 acres each. AS the bill presented
by Mr.. Hermann has been recon-
raended by the interior department, it
will probably pass and receive the sig
nature of the president.

This list of appropriations. together
with the many other -extrayagances
became SO frightful to the party that
was responsible for the acts of the last
legislature, that when the delegates
assembled at Portland on the 9th
Of last month another declaration
for economy was found necessary, and
here is what the convention put in the
platform under the head Of retrench-
ment.
"We pledge the republican party to
rigid economy in the expenditure of
public money, to the reduction of ex-
cessive salaries, and the abolishment
of the fee system wherever possible,
and of all useless commissions; and
believe that no appropriation should
be made to any school or charitable
institution not under the control OF
the state; and oppose the incorporation
bill of items for the expenditure Of
public money not authorized by law
Here are two promises To which the
attention OF the voters is invited.
One was made In 1894; legislature
was erected on it, and in January, 1895,
that legislature L,ade the record shown
in the above tables. The other was
but recently made; legislature is to
be elected on the 1st of June next.
Voters alone can judge if they are
justified in placing confidence in the
latter pro mise.

Honey Gatherers That Have Very Loose
Moral Ideas.
Almost every form and variety of hr-
man crmc is to DO found among animals.
Cases of theft are noticed among bees.
Ruchner, in his Psychic Life Of Ami
mails" speaks Of thievish bees which, in
order to save themselves the trouble of
working, attack we'll stocked hives in
masses, kill the sentinels and the inhabit-
ants, rob tho hives and carry off the pro-
visions. After repeated enterprises of this
description they acquire n taste for robbery
and violence. They recruit whole com
panies, which get moro and more numcr-
ous and finally they form regular colonies
of brigand bees.
But it is u still moro curious fact that
these brigaud bees can be produced arti-
ficially by giving working bees mixture
Of honey and brandy to drink. The bees
soon acquire tasto for this beverage,
which has tho same disastrous effects upon
them as upon mon. They become i'll dis
posed and irritable and lose all desire to
work, and finally, when they begin to feel
hungry, they attack and plunder the we'll
supplied hives.
There is ono variety Of bees -- the
sphecodcs-which lives exclusively upon
plumber. According to Marchall, this va
rcty is formed of individuals of tho hal
yetes species, whose organs Of Notification
were defective, and which have gradually
developed into separate variety, living
almost exclusively by plunder. They may
thus be said to be an example of innate
and organic crininality among insects,
end they represent what Professor LON
brosso calls the born criminals-thnt is,
individuals which arc led to crime by their
own organic constitution. Forum.

hardly large enough for human habita-

whom so many loving superstitions cling,

After salutations had been exchanged
the traveller laughingly told the old man
that she had half fancied his dwelling the

man.

1t makes people well. People in every
walk of life have reason to be grateful to
Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth. the eminent
scientist. who discovered Paine's celery
compound. He understood the peculiar
needs of the nervous system; he knew
that the backache, headache, sIeeplessness,
loss of appetite and disordered blood all
mean that the nerves are weakened and
inadequate to the demands upon them. The
