COMPLICATIONS Probable.

LONDON, May "A dispatch from
Teheran to the Times regarding the
situation in Persia incident upon the
assassination of the shah. says:
Much discomfort has existed for some
time Trough the dearness of provis-
ions. partly caused by the excessive
issue Of copper coins
Considerable alarm prevails here
and Prince Naibar Sultaneh, third son
of the late shah, has retired to his
palace at the request Of the govern
ment. The assassin's name is Mollah
Reza and he is supposed to be from
Babec.
An article in the Times on the late
shah calls 10 mind That at the begin
ming Of his reign he put to death by
thousands the members of the Babi
set, whose crusade against the corrup-
ton OF the public and private manors
in Persia was so popular as to become
a, menace 10 the government.
The chief apprehension that now
arises says the Times, is lest the new
shah's eldest brother, Sir Err Sultane,
should attempt to dispute the acces-
sion. CHE late shah is succeeded by
his second son, and not the eldest
Son).

IN PRETORIA.
Interdict Upon the Property of the
Reform Prisoners Has Been Re-
moved.

LONDON; May IA Capetown dis
patch to the Times says:
1t is stated from Pretoria that the in
terdict upon the property of the reform
prisoners has been removed, except in
the case of Charles Leonard and DR..
Wolfe. Judge Gregorweakor, who pre-
sided at the trial OF the reformers, was
hooted on his return to Bloomfonteln
in the Orange Free state. in the
volksraad of the Orange Free state to-
day, however. several speakers de-
nounced the British Chartered South
Africa company and Cecil Rhodes, the
would-be dictator of South Africa.
They declared that the sending of
British troops to Matabeleland was a
mere pretext to get troops into Africa.
President Stein advocated the abro-
cation of all treaties with the company,
which he said, was danger to South
AFRICA.
He advised calmness. however, and
said he felt sure Mr. Chamberlain
would do his utmost in behalf of peace.
The Times, in an editorial, protests
against Furnishing Cecil, Rhodes for his
connection with the Johannesburg raid
to appease the Beers, who" says
the Times, ARE eager for his downfall
not from hatred but from policy, he
being q formidable champion of Brit
ish ascendency Ut is inconceiva7ble that
he has been actuated by ennity to the
Dutch. His whole policy has been
based on the cordial cooperation of
the British and the Dutch. Is it a
time to deal harshly with the ablest
and most devoted imperialist in South
African"
The Times also has a dispatch from
Pretoria which says:
The progressive burghers think ban
ishment and a small fine will suffice as
a punishment for the convicted members
of the Johannesburg national union.
But the influence of the Hollanders
causes difficulties
Mr.. j. H. Hammond's health causes
uneasiness to his friends and there
are fears of an outbreak of typhoid
fever in the prison.
The Daily News says editorially: Mr..
Rhodes having assumed the role of
revolution monger, he ought to resign
his dictatorship in the Chartered COM
pany.

The Woman Question Again Cuts n
Very Important Figure.
CLEVELAND, O., May Three
thousand people were in the hall this
morning when the great quadrennial
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church was called to order by Bishop
Bowman. Nearly every country on
the globe was represented. Bishop
Bowman announced that the Bible
which was TO be used in the services
is the one which was used by John
Wesley in his study in England. This
historical treasure was presented to
the conference some years ago.
Bishop Ninde read from this book the
103d psalm. Bishop Vincent read the
hymn, after which prayer was offered
by Bishop Foster. Rev. DR.. Upham,
of the theological seminary, closed the
devotional services.
When the name OF Lydia A. Trimble
was announced, a delegate was i'm
mediately on his feet and made mo-
ton that this name be omitted until
the committee should determine whe-

to entertain the motion, as he declar-

strength OF the woman suffrage faction

skirmish and as the other names of
women delegates were called no excep-

CAPE PARLIAMENT.
Governor Robinson Expresses n
Hope For CaImness and ConciIia-
ton.

CAPE TOWN, May 1.-The Cape par
Lament was opened today and the
speech made on that occasion by the
governor and high commissioner, Sir
Hercules Robinson, has a special in
terest in view of the present situation
in South Africa.
Governor Robinson's speech was
notable for its strong tone of depreca-
ton Of the Jameson raid and the la
mentable results that have ensued.
He was confident, he said, that the
imperial government would take steps
TO prevent a recurrence of a calamity
which endangered so greatly the
friendly relations Of the adjoining
states.
The ministry, he added, was direct
ing its best efforts toward maintaining
these friendly relations. He expressed
a hope for calmness and Cancellation
on the part Of the South African re-
public. Turning then to the question
of the native revolt, he said the success
of the relief commission for Buluwayo
against the Matabeles would prevent
further serious loss of life and proper
ty. Despite the condition Of unrest,
the attitude of the masses of the abor-
iginal races toward the subject of
colonial rule was satisfactory.

to Severely Slug Him.
NEW YORK, May IA special to
the World from Madrid says:
Despite denials from official circles
that the pope, through the nuncio here,
has urged Spain to accept American
mediation in Cuban affairs, there is an
impression, especially among military
men and Cuban representatives, that
the report is true.
1t is considered certain here that the
explosion in the governor generals pal
ace in Havana was caused by separat-
lists. Those in Cuba and also those in
Paris have made no secret lately of
their intention to try to put General
Weyler out of the way.
Senior Archilla, president of the
Planters club of Havana on landing
at Corunna, made this statement:
ut is great mistake to suppose
that the early establishment of auto
nomy would be playing into the hands
of the rebels. The Cuban planters be-
lieve Spain could have spared herself
any sacrifice of men and money if the
home rule law had been put in force
twelve months ago.
Public opinion in Cuba, is almost
UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF the REFORMS
if sincerely carried out. Only the union
constitutional party in Havana and
those who live by politics and fraud
at the expense of Cuba and Spain OPP
pose home rule. All the planters and
agricuturists would welcome reforms
which would reconcile insular and pc
ninsular interests and convince the
colonies that the home government at
last really intends to give the West
Indies decentralization.
Spain will undoubtedly triumph, but
if the war is prolonged, Cuba is sure
to be ruined. When it can no longer
meet its financial engagements the
Spanish treasury must then undertake
to meet them

The Card system.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1.-At a con-
ference today between the members of
the grievance committee of the build
ing trades council and the walking del
egates of the associated unions, it was
decided that the card system should
be vigorously enforced in this city here
after. Every district of San Francis
co will be patrolled by committees to
investigate the personnel of all me
chanics employed on building jobs.
Any committeeman is empowered to
require employers to adopt the card
system and to dismiss non-union work
men. Upon the refusal of an employer
to comply with these demands, the
committee may order a strike on the
job forthwith and the union mechanics
must Immediately comply with such
Instructions

Macen is Anxious.

NEW YORK, May IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Antonio Maceo is anxious to cross the
trocha and unite with General Gomez.
He is said to find it difficult to obtain
provisions in Pinar del Rio sufficient
to supply his army. 1t was proposed
that the men who are natives of the
province, mainly whites, surrender
their horses to the men he took there,
nearly all of whom are negroes and
also give them nearly all of their scant
supplies and ammunition, as hard
fighting is expected in crossing the
trocha Objections were made on every
side and no attempt was made to car
ry out the plan.
Maceo had instructions from General
Gomez to stay in the orients as long
as possible. 1t is believed the time is
ripe for him to try to leave.
