Revolutionary Demonstration Before

Revolutionary Demonstration Before
the Queen and Gen, Campos
Madrid, Feb. This city was the scene
today of a demonstration that would have
required but very little 10 have turned it
into a serious riot.
A number of men booted Gen. Campos
last Tuesday as he was driving TO bis
residence from the railway station on his
return from Cuba. A number of the
hooters were arrested, ard one OF them
broke away from the gendarmes who had
him in custody and sought 20 make his
escape. The gendarmes fired twice at
him and killed him. The shooting caused
great excitement and the government was
bitterly condemned by the republicans.
This afternoon the funeral of the victim
took place and was attended by an enor-
nous crowd.
Fully twelve Thousand men. n0nst OF whom
were Republicans, marched to the cemetery,
shouting for the entire distance, Down
with the police" Down with CampOs."
and Long live the Republic" The govern
ment anticipated trouble and there was q
strong display OF gendarmes, who, however,
appeared to be afraid to interfere with the
procession in any way lest they provoke q
riot.
After partly venting their anger against
the youthful king and his mother the crowd
marched to the residence OF Gen CampOs,
where similar demonstration OF disa2-
prevail was made.
The apathy of the police, which was I'M
questionably due to fear, was significant

WILL ARGUE 1T ALL DAY.
Large Array of Counsel in Beneficial
Endowment Case

Large Array of Counsel in Beneficial
Endowment Case.
At the close of the day in the hearing of
the Washington Beneficial Endowment
case yesterday, Chief Justice Bingham
stated that the question first to be
determined was the status of the trade of
Augsut 8, 1894, between the Beneficial
Endowment Association and the CONNER
ctal Alliance Life Insurance Company Of
New York.
1t win be remembered that By trade Presi-
dnet Lawrence Gardner of the Washington
company undertook 10 transfer to the Com
mercial Alliance the assets and business
here. This was to be done by selling to the
Commercial Alliance the stock OF the Rene-
ficial Endowment for little more than
$4,000. The stock was believed 10 carry
with it the control of the business
As soon as this transaction became
public there was q great stir among the
policy holders, ofswhom there are about
1 200 in this City. Suit was brought by
Phillips C McKenney, as their attorneys,
to enjoin the transfer and to set aside the
sale. Mr.. Gardner explained that he had
made ample provision for the protection
both OF policy holders and of death bene
ficiaries. Reply was made that Mr.. Gardner
was mistaken as TO the kind of protection
he had secured, as the Commercial Alliance
was insolyent. A few weeks proved that
this was correct, and Mr.. Gardner himself
brought suit to annul the trade.
Pending hearing of the suit, Attorneys
A. A. Lipscomb and Thomas NJ. Field, were
appointed receivers,
Reading Of testimony in the case was
completed yesterday, and Judge Bingham
said he would hear arguments today. First,
Mr.. Lipscomb, as representative of the
association; Judge Phillips, representing
policyholders; Mr.. James s. Edwardsand
others, representing various Judgment, credi-
tors and death beneficiaries, will address
the court. Mr.. Field will reply to all in
behalf of the Commercial Alliance. The
arguments win occupy the entire day.

Two Men Arrested for Working an
Old Game.

Norman McCloud and John R. Lans-
dale were arrested by Officer Sullivan
yesterday afternoon, and locked up in the
Seventh precinct station, charged with
petit larceny.
1t is claimed that the men have been
working an extensive flim-flam game on
unsuspecting people by means of what is
known as the photograph dodge. The
scheme is to call at house and ask if
the people desire to have any photos en-
larged.
The men say they have a new process
and that the work will be done free Of
charge. as they desire to advertise the busi-
ness. Then they will take the picture
and return in about week with a badly
printed chromo for which they charge
so cents. They tell the prospective pur-
chaser that in order to get the picture he
must purchase a frame, for which they
charge an eXorbitant price. 1t is said
these men have worked this game for some
time past, and have made considerable
money. The case will be heard in the
police court this morning.

Prospects fer Naval Legislation Seem
to Be Good
There is some difference Of opinion among
The members of the House Naval Committee
as 10 the number of ships for which an ap
preparation shall be made a this session.
Secretary Herbert recommended the build
ing of two new battIeships and twelve tor
pedoboats. Mr.. Cummings of New York, who
was the chairmau Of the committee in thelast
Congress, believes that six battleships and
twenty-five torpedo boats should be pro-
vided for.
Some OF the Republican members regard
the appropriation necessary for this large
fleet as excessive when the depleted con-
di,iou of the national finances is consid-
cred. There are few if any members of the
committee who do not favor the CON-
struction of three battleships, and it would
not be surprising if the bill carried pro-
vision for four in addition to at least
twelve torpedo boats.

RAIN A SERIOUS OBSTACLE
Report Sent TO the House by Presi-
dent Cleveland Yesterday-The
Work Is Estimated TO Cost Twice
as Much as the Appropriation Pro
vides For-Other Hindrances.

In the judgment OF the board OF eng-
neers. which thoroughly investigated tic
subject last summer, 1T VIII cost $f33,-
472.Ss3 to construct the Nicaragua Canal
These figures are S64. 900, 0Uo in excess
of the estimates OF the company which
now holds charter from Nicaragua 10
build the waterway. The board which
made the Investigation consisted OF Lieut..
Col Tliam Ludlow, L. $. A, MCidacai
Endicott, civil engineer. L. s. n, AID
Alfred Noble, also a civil engineer. Tie
boards report. which is inc!uded in 200
pages of typewritteB manuscript, was sent
yesterday by Pres dent Cleveland to the
House.
MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The most serious problem affecting The
design and ccUs;raction cf Tie canal sys-
TEN at the present time. the report finds
are those Involved in the heavy rainfall
aud consequent discharges from tie lake
aud streams, whose variations Of surface
aud volume must be taken into account
There are n0w no shops or facilities Of
arry kind on or near lie canal line, and
they viii have 10 be supplied as adjuncls
OF he work. Skilled labor will have te be
imported. Fuel wiz cost more than double.
Freight on materials and supplies VIII in
crease their cost greatly. particularly if
sent TO interior points.
A large pari of tie report is devoted to
description Of tie character OF the s9il,
the work necessary to be performed at
points along the proposed route, and the
expense attached 10 this work.
Tie board deems il proper TO make note OF
the facility With which breach might be
effected Al any point OF the long series of
embankments employed, in connection with
the canal project.
The report closes with the following gen
eral conclusion
AN INSUFFICIENT SUM.
''The Official estimate by the company
Of S66. .466, $50 is insufficient for the work.
In several important cases. the quantities
must be greatly increased, and in numerous
cases the unit prices do not make proper
allowance for the difference in cost OF
work between the United States and
Nicaragua.
The provisional estimate by the board is
S133 Az, ,S93.
-It should be understood that the exist
ing data are inadequate as a basis for es-
timating the cost of many OF the structures;
some portions OF the work may cost more,
Others less. bat in the judgment of the board
the entire project can be executed for about
the total amount or its estimate. For OBJ
tanning the necessary data for the forma-
ton of a canal project, eighteen months
time, covering two dry seasons, and an ex-
penditurc of S35o,000 will be required

FRED BRYANs OPINION.
Fred Bryan, the brother of Pearl Bryan.
speaking of W ood ard Jackson, said: wood
is a cousin of our family, but neither he
nor Jackson stood. very high in Green
Castle, Ind While we all knew Wood
Wei enough, he was not in the habit OF
visiting our home, and 1 did not know
that my sister was acquainted with Jack
SON.
This morning walling hinted that
doctor of this city was mixed up in the
murder. WaHing said:
1.-The doctor, mean, has nothing to do
with this case. only that Jackson had
conversation with him. in which he asked
the doctor about poisons ard the way
they worked. That doctors name is Littler,
and he boards over at the house on Ninth
street
FOUR GRAMS OF COCAINE
Shortly after this he told Mayor Cald-
well that jackson gave the girl four grams
of cocoaine in sixteen drops of water and
then drove her to Fort Thomas, where lie
cut off her head.
Evidence is accommodating to show that
the girl was alive when she reached Locks
Farm, where the body was found
Green Castle, Ind, Feb. THE Bryan
family are mere bitter against Wood than
any of the three men who are under arrest
The aged and heart-troken father thinks
that Wood is the one who was response
ble for the downfall of the girl. He
thinks that Wood brought Jackson to
know the girl and that there is where the
trouble began.
