Madrid, April Admiral Beranger.
the minister of Marine, will propose to
the cabinet today an extra credit of
23,GOc.c0O pesetas (about st.150.000) on
account of naval construction.
London, April THE Globe this af-
| ternoon, commenting upon the-vot on
the Cuban belligereucy resolutions in
the United States house Of representa-
tires yesterday, says: "The chief dan
ger of the situation is that Spanish
pride Will never surrender Spsins most
valuable colony until beaten to the
ground, and should there be u repe-
tition Of the popular demonstrations
against the United States, American
passion might fame UP in an ugly man
nor and conluel President Cleveland to
demand satisfaction. This would al
most inevitably result in war, and while
the United States would, of course.
, crush Spain. American trade, already
very delicate. would be very largely
wrecked" In conclusion, the paper ex-
presses the opinion that It is improb-
able that President Cleveland will Sc
rio,lsly consider the concurrent resolu-
tions.
The st. James Gazette remarks:
Congress voted with the intention of
being offensive to Spain. This pre-
SUITABLY IS the new american GiplGm-
| acy, and we must candidly confess that
we do not admire it. When it is tried
| against a sensitive people lready in
difficulties, 1t is eminently calculated to
provoke an explosion. The Spaniards
do not understand that it is part of the
presidential campaign"
| Spanish securities fell on the Stock
Exchange today, in consequence Of the
action OF the house of representatives
yesterday on the question of Cuban

DEMONSTRATION AT MADRID.
Madrid, April IA council of the Re-
publican groups has resolved to organ

tives to recognize the Cuban insurgents
as b"lligercnts. The leaders of all the

HOLMES TO DlE QUIETLY.
A Scientist Desires to Test Murderer
Holmes Emotions ut Death with q
New Machine.

7 -
Holmes Emotions ut Death with q
New Machine
Philadelphia. April 7.--Hundreds Of
applications have been made to Sheriff
Clement for permission to witness the
execution of II. II. Holmes. who is to
hang on May for the killing Of Ben
jamin i. PietZel, but without doubt the
most interesting of these requests is
that of DR.. Arthur Macdonald. the
head Of the hyscho-neurological de-
partmcnt OF the national bureau In
| Washington.
DR.. Macdonald has world wide rep
utation as a physciio-neuvo!cgist Ills
principal study has been among Grim
inals.
Science and ingenuity have contrived
an instrument which Is known in sci
entifc laboratories as the Eymograph-
ion. This is an instrument for record
ing, in visible lines. human emotion.
With this machine the scientist wishes
to ascertain the emotions of the con-
victod murderer just before he goes on
the Eallows. 1t Is predicted that the
result will show whether or not Holmes
was at all agitated over his taking
| off.
DIR. Macdonald wrote to Sheriff
Clement and the inspectors of the coun-
| ty prison asking for permission to at
| tend the execution and experiment up
on the murderer. He explained that
| 1t was in the interest of science and
that he was acting in his official cap
| acity. "
HOLMES DECLINES.
But the authorities have refused to
grant the doctors request. Holmes
| himself was consulted in the matter
and he declined to submit to such ex-
aminntions. The sheriff said the pr!s-
oner was entitled to quiet, peaceful
| hanging.
The time of the condemned man
nowadays Is taken up chiefly with ef-
| forts to dispose of q statement which
he has written, purportlns to be q true
autobiography, or "confesson," as !,
is called. There was some lively bid
ding for this document by New York
| newspapers. One Of them, 1t is report
| ed, has secured 1t for large sum, and
its publication is looked for soon. In
! fact, there are several alleged state
nlents abroad in the lend, and newspa-
per readers may look for facsimile
statements in the prisoners handwrit-
ing. and all sorts of alleged interviews
| with him from now until the day OF his
! execution.

WAR ON M'KINLEY.
The 4. p. a. Will Resent n Snub Admins
tered by Manager Hanna.

st. Louis, April 1.-The American
Protective association has declared
war Oh Mckinley and through chair
man of the national advisory board,
Judge j. Fl. u. Stevens. who estab-
lished headquarters here today declares
that no steps will be left undone to
unmake the Ohio man. This was
brought out today by the launching Of a
boom for the presidency of Congress-
man w. S. Linton, of Michigan, who
has been the mouth piece and cham
pion Of the organization in the house
Of representatives,.
1t came about BY an alleged snub ad-
ministered to the national board while
it was in session at Washington last
week. The beard sent a letter to the
managers of Mckinley, Reed, Morton
and Allison, inviting them to appear
before the board and state their atti-
tudes towards the organization as it
intended to take hand In the national
fight. All Of the managers but Hanna
ohcyed the summons and had long con-
ferences with the members of the board.
Hanna came not. A second letter was
sent to him and it brought reply that
Mckinley would recognize no faction in
the Republican party and would make
no pledges or promises to any secret
organization. 1t was decided at once
to fight the Ohio man and a resolution
to that effect was passed.

CHICAGO ELECTIONS,
Twenty Six AIdcvincu Who Have Claims
Rcsrecsnkilify.


Chicago, April I'm the elections to-
day for town officers for aldermen, the
Republicans. carried all Of the seven
towns by majorities ranging g from one
to four thousand. The campaign for
aldermen was not strictly on party
lines, btirg more Of an effort on the
part of the reputable citizens regard
less OF pC!itics. to oust the clique which
has controlled the council.
OF the thirty-four aldermen elected
today only eight are men who were
opposed by the municipal voters league.
The remaining twenty-six may be said
to fairly represent the respectable ele-
ment.
Of the old council gang six were
re- elected.
The election today will severely Grip
pie them. but yet will leave them with
majority of two or three in the coun-
Gil. Heretofore they have had two
thirds majority which enabled them to
pass at will, ordinances over the may
or's veto. This they can no longer do.
The Peoples party did not succeed in
electlpg a single candidate OF the
successful contestants. thirteen are
Democrats, eighteen Republicans and
three who ran on the independent tick
ct. Extra precaution was taken with
the ballot boyes. every box was taken
from it's booth to the city hall after the
polls closed. No box was guarded by
less than two blue coats.

Philadelphia, April 7.-While not pos

Knowledge of any such movement

edge Of any such combination was de-
MED outright, and the suggestion was
secuted as highly Improbable, although,
OF course, within the range of possi-
bility.
Vice President Pugh was equally pos
tive in asserting that such a move
ment was highly unlikely. "Our men
have had little 20 do with the Ameri-
can Railway union" he said. land I
hardly think they are now being re-
cruited into the union, especially as an
aid to the street railway men In the
event of a possible strike or future
trouble of any sort. We have heard
nothing Of the kind and though it Is
not to be expected that they would
come to us with the information should
they really contemplate allying them
selves with the Ama1gamated associa-
tion of street railway employees. ] still
think we should have had scme inkling
OF such q movement. involving as 1t
does, such diversified interests"

accident occurred. The other was found
laying In O. ditch beside the track The
hcdies were badly mangled and We're
taken into a barn nearby and Coroner

arrived on train 13. The unfortunate
man spent the greater portion of Mon
day at New Milford. where they We're
seen In company with another person.
About O'Clock they parted. The form
er mentioned started towards this place
while the other went in the opposite
direction.
This morning when he heard of the
accident he Immediately started back
and told what he knew of the men, He
said he first met them on Monday. and
they told him they had worked In the
Scranton Poor house all winter and had
started out this spring in search OF
work, and also that the older who was
about so years old. was German.
and the younger. who was aged about
%, was an Englishman. and had
brother in New York city. This. he
said. was all he knew Of them, except
the eldest was quite deaf. Each had
on quite good clothing and numerous
things wcre found In their pockets
among which were several letters.
which, by the way they read, went to
show that the Germans name was
Jacob Walz the place where he lived
was not. however, given.
AS yet the bodies have not been
identified. If they are not they will be
buried in Rose Hill cemetery in this
place.
Walz was 32 years old last August.
His companion was Patrick Duffy
Walz had been an inmate of the Home
since that time, but was there several
times before. remaining for brief
period and then going away. Superin-
tendent Beemer states that the man
was tramp for ten or eleven years,
and was in weak physical condition.
AS far as is known he had no relatives
in this vicinity.
Duffy was II years old; he had been
an inmate of the Home since he was II
years old. Ills father is a pauper in
mate OF the Home and the son was deaf
and afflicted with other infirmities and
had no one to care for him. Father
and son formerly lived on the South
Side.
The men were missed from the Home
Sunday evening at supper time. They
were walking north when death came
