his fellow bOarders and was done so quick
that none of them could interfere. Bishock
was employed in the York Farm colliery
Saturday was pay day at the York Farm col
liery. Bishock lost his pay check and there
fore did not get his wages. He did not drink
anything on Saturday, only taking one glass
of beer in the evening before retiring at 8
o'clock. Yesterday morning he arose and
told his boarding boss he was going to see q
friend, but instead went up stairs where his
seven companions were and asked one of
them for chew. Shortly after Bishock,
quick as a flash, waved a razor and drawing
it across his throat, fell to the floor dead.

GERS Of volunteers who were present
made speeches against Captain Gen
eral Campos and general protest was
expressed against his military inactiv-
ity and over humane policy. One ma
jor of the volunteers proposed that
Campos be either forced to resign or
be lynched, and the speech was met
by cheers from various Spanish mer-
chants.
The majority of the representatives
of Spanish business houses present
signed a petition to close the exchange
and many favored closing the ssdres as
a protest against Campos permanence

A delegation from the volunteer corps
officers was named to wait on Campos
and insist that Banado be called and

political policy or else resign the gov

feared. Several foreign vessels in the
port, by the direction of their con-
signees, have just suspended the dis
charge of their cargoes awaiting the
outcome of the affair.
General Marin has been hurriedly
called from Mantanzas and is now in
consultation with the captain general
Campos depends upon the regular
forces and upon the fleet to support
him in the event of trouble, but at this
moment there are few troops in Ha-
vana, most of the columns being out

Talks on the Monroe Doctrine,
Senry Clay and Grover I.
CHICAGO. Jan. ia special dis
patch from New Haven, Conn, to the
Times-Herald says:
Professor Arthur M. Wheeler, of
Yale college. delivered remarkable
lecture tonight upon the Monroe doc
trine He said the doctrine was di-
vided into two parts, the first enuncia-
ted by President Monroe and bogus
doctrine developed and perfected by
President Cleveland. He said: "It
is the embodiment of insatiate greed,
irordinate selfshneSS and colossal
bumptiousneSs of a large part of the
American people"
He described Henry Clay as being
man of the foregoing characteristics
and said: "He talked like an angel,
and acted like a buccaneer with hem
orrhages of eloquence."
Professor Wheeler said further:
Spain, through the special dispensa-
ton of Pope Alexander, the vice-regent
of the Almighty, became the possessor
of the destinies of three-fourthS of the
world. / don't know that we have a
patent from the Almighty unless it
came lately through Pope Grover ]"
He declared that the act of the pres
ident in shaking his fist under Queen
Victorias nose was the act of a bully,
and said America need have no ap-
prehensfon of trouble through contact
with England.
