Bitter a~cntnst Americans

Madrid, May 2O.-In the senate to-
day Senior Giron, a Liberal, protested
against the ISLANDERS of Spain which

ate. He intended, he said. to denounce
the intolerable conduct of pirates and
brigands against Spain. The day had
come. he said, when we should have
to consider the wretched acts of inter.
ference of the dollar princes with the
affairs of Spain. He protested also
against Washington ISLANDERS against
the queen regent. The duke of Te.

piled to Senior Giron that the govern

but that they could not approve the
remainder of Senior Giron's remarks.

States government had given proof OF
their respect for principles of interna-
tional law, he maintained.

San Francisco, May 2O.-J. e. Blanth-
or, the ex-Hungarian army officer who
is suspected of cutting the throat OF
Mrs. L%angfeldt. an aged woman, is still
among the missing. His movements
up to Saturday morning have been
traced, but after that time his disap-
pearance has been complete. 1t is
known that Blanther went to his room
late Friday night. He met a young
man named Dodge Saturday morning,
and they went across the bay to Oak
land on the 10 o'clock boat. There
they separated and the police think
that Blanther returned to San Fran
cisco. Every train and boat has been
carefully watched since Saturday af-
ternoon in case the fugitive should at
tempt to leave town. 1t is now thought
the murderer secured about SIS from
his victim, and in that Ease he would
have enough money to get away, once
he secured a start Of the police.

st. Paul, May 2O.-Attorney General
Childrs is at present considering the
application made by Minnesota insur-
ance companies for an Interpretation
of what is known as the retaliatory
law governing insurance companies of
other states. The old law provided
that the insurance commissioner en-
force every restriction placed upon
Minnesota companies in other states.
The insurance commissioner has held
that amendments to this law make it
cover only taxes, penalties and fines,
provisions of the old law be enforced
as well. The Millers' Insurance Com.
pany of Minnesota has been refused
permission to do business in Pennsyl-
vania. and it asks that in retaliation
Pennsylvania mutual companies be
barred from Minnesota.

The First Big In Ten 1cHrs
Reaches There.
Minneapolis. May 2O.--Inasmuch as
the river and harbor bill just passed
by congress. makes a provision for the
survey of Big Stone lake and vicinity
with a view to the construction of a
storage reservoir similar to those at
the headwaters of the Mississippi, the
trip of a steamer up the Minnesota
river to LIE Sueur yesterday is OF spe-
cial interest. 1t is about ten years
since a boat of the size of the Daisy
reached LIE Sueur. And it is thirty
years since there was regular traffic
on the river for any length of time.
Since the war spasmodic attempts
have been made to reopen what was
once a valuable water route, but for
various reasons they failed. and now
the river, through years of neglect.
has become a nest of snags. However.
the trip to LIE Sueur demonstrated
that the river is navigable still and
that with ordinary attention it might
be used for several months of each
year, even without permanent improve
mentS.

Cleveland, May 2Q.-The impression
is becoming prevalent that a deadlock
will occur i'm the Methodist Episcopal
conference over the election of two
new bishops. Five ballots We're taken
to-day without a choice and the cleo
ton is apparently as far away as ever.
1t is evident that there is a strong ele-
ment in the conference opposed to the
election of more bishops, and this ele-
ment is believed to have been voting in
a scattering way for the purpose of
precipitating a deadlock. A motion was
made without a second to postpone
further ~balloting indefinitely, and it
is said the motion will be renewed to-
morrow.
