with the whole situation and all the
circumstances connected with it, I am
bound to assume that they are more
competent than 1 am to determine
what their duty to their party and to
their constituents is. and how that
duty shall be discharged, and an at
tempt by me tG influence their action
might very properly be regarded as a
presumptuous interference in matter
of the greatest Importance, which has
been committed solely to their own
judgments; but even if this were not
so. have no right to assume that the
honest convictions of the five gentle
men alluded to in your communication
could be changed by my interference
or that they could be induced to act
contrary to such convictions by advice
which they have not solicited Having
heretofore rendered no advice nor
made any suggestion, directly or in
directly to any member of the general
assembly, on either side of the unfor-
tunate controversy now existing.

ate of the United States a man who
is In full sympathy with those OBJ
iects. 1 have the honor to be, very
sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-If Hannis
Taylor United States minister to Mad
rid, has, as is reported on the authority
Of a Spanish newspaper, addressed a
curt note to the Spanish government
demanding an explanation of an attack
made upon the United States in in ad-
dress delivered by Senior Convas before
a Geographical society, then the min
lister has acted entirely upon his own
responsibility, for nothing of the sub
ject matter of the complaint is known
at the state department. 1t is felt here
that the facts cannot be as reported
or at least there must be other facts
not stated in the cable dispatch. for
our minister would not, 1t is assumed,
base an official complaint upon an ad-
dress entirely lacking. as this appears
to have been, in official character. It
is not presumed here that our ministers
abroad can take cognizance of all crit
icisms passed upon their country by in
dividuals before private gatherings.

Ell PASO. Tex. Feb. 19.-The fight
was practically asleep today. Inc
only point of interest in it was the
condition Of Makers eyes, and Of them
the report was as it has been for the
past three days-steadily improving
Fltzsimmons remained quietly in his
quarters all day and gave the numer-
Gus Mexicans and Rangers who watch
him every time he leaves the house
chance to rest themselves. He is do
ing only very light work to keep him
self in first-class condition, He IS
certainly in superb shape and reiter-
ated today his firm belief that the fight
would be one Of very short time and that
he would be returned an easy winner
inside of five rounds.
Jack Everhart went over to FitZsim-
mons quarters today to help him
train. and viii probably be one of his
seconds IN the ring.
Considerable merTiment was caused
at Stuartis headquarters today by q
story from Galveston that the fight
would be on barges On the Gulf OF
Mexico off that city. It was to be
before the kaleidoscope and few wit
nesses only. TIE plan was never
weston, and the impossibility OF the
kinetoscope taking photographs if the
water was in the least degree rough,
is alone enough to put the plan out OF
the question. All sorts Of rumors are
afoat as to the location of the battle
ground, but Stuart is keeping his own
counsel and not until tomorrow night
will any information be given as to the
location and the time Of the departing
train.
Buck Connolly came in from Las
Cruces tonight and reported Maher as
being much improved He said that
his man would be down on the 1O;40
train tomorrow morning and would be
ready to enter the ring at any time
after his arrival. He was not inclined
70 be communicative regarding Ma
hers general condition. but Dick Plum
kett, who came in from the Maher
camp with Connolly, declared that Pc
ter was In excellent shape and strong
as an OK. His eyes. according to
Plunkett, were somewhat inhamed, but
his general condition is excellent.

MADRID, Feb. 19.-The impartial to-
day discredits the story published by
the Heraldo yesterday and cabled ex-
clusively to the Associated Press last
night, saying that Mr.. Hannis Taylor,
the United States minister here, has
addressed a curt note to the Spanish
government demanding explanations
regarding an address delivered before
geographical society by Senior Con-
vas, who commanded the caravel San
the Columbian exposition. In this ad-
dress Senior Convas gave his impress
SionS of his visit to the United States
in language which, Mr.. Taylor alleges,
was offensive to the United States gov
eminent.
at seems to be the acme of sensi-
tiveness.' the Impartial says; "our in
ternational relations show greater
grievances than this"
The Impartial adds that the demand
is entirely unprecedented, as the Geo.
graphical society, before which the ad-
dress was made, is not an official
body.
Senior Convas, in the address In ques-
ton, asserted the moral atmosphere of
the United States was very defective,
and that family relations lacked that
which was to be desired. Education,
while widespread, was only on the sur
face, and American politicians, he add
ed. have no prestige.
He concluded with the remark that
in America everything is sacrificed to
the almighty dollar, and that business
and the materalities of life drown all
noble sentiment.

The members of the committee who have
been opposing reporting the Arizona and
New Mexico bills, principally on tbe
ground that the admission of these Terri
tories would increase the free silver
strength in the senate, assert that the ar
ton of the committee today has no sig
nlflcance. They declare the Statehood hills
are dead for the present session. 1t is in
t1nated strongly that the reconsideration
today was solely for the purpose of Ieav-
ing the question at least open. This had
been done on the urgent appeal of fine
Arizona delegate, Murphy. Despite the adj

NEW YORK. Feb. 19.-The annual
meeting of the American Newspaper
Publishers association began at the
Hotel Brunswick today. There were
about $50 members of the association
present when President Charles w
Knapp called the meeting to order.
The topic discussed at the opening
session was Advertising. Under this
head were the sub-topics: as an ad-
vertising bureau a profitable adjunct
to a newspaper? What is the respon-
sibility of a paper making a mistake
in the price of goods mentioned in an
advertisement? Is reading matter con-
tanning Illustrations or space wholly
occupied by news or general illustra.
tions pure reading within the mean
ing of the term as used in advertising
contracts? Is is profitable to employ
women as advertising agents?n

CHICAGO, Feb 19.-Contracts were
drawn up in Chicago today. by means
of which it is promised that packers
and shippers of perishable food prod
ucts will. in future, get along without
ice
DR.. A. T.. Perkins, now a resident of
Chicago, has patented a process Of
keeping meats. fruits and perishable
products during transportation by the
use of sterihzed air. His patents ex-
tend to the anHpodes. The contract was
concluded today between him and j.
NJ. Smart of Melbourne, manager OF the
Australian Meat Transportation corpo-
ration, limited, for the use of the pro-
cess in the seven colonies Of Australia.
A corporation is also to be formed,
with headquarters In Chicago to con-
troll the process over the railroad lines
of this country, and the steamship
lines running from the ports OF North
and South America.
DR.. Perkins left Chicago this after
noon for New Orleans, where the ster-
ilized air process is to be put in oper-
alton, 1t is said, on a line of fruit
steamers plying from that port. Upon
his return he will sail for Australia,
NIL SINAI VI Lie Aus u eAAe.AA MA
Export company's corporation is of the
opinion that the new process will en-
able Australia to ship its meats to Eu-
rope instead of boiling it down to make
tallow, and will virtually force the
American shippers of dressed meat out
of the market. He adds, moreover,
that it will enable us to ship fruit and
annihilate the trade which the Ameri-
can syndicate has been planning for.
We propose to supply the whole of
Great Britain with meat and fruit. Six
warehouses are now being built in Lon
don and Manchester which will serve
as our distributing points. Two Of them
are among the largest receiving ware
houses in the world
The fruit syndicate of California is
the interest which Mr.. Smart says has
been most concerned about the matter.

came forward with a cash subscription
and was followed at once by other
states. 1t soon became apparent that
all difficulty would be overcome. At
this Juncture a telegram was received
from the attorney of the league, con-
graduating the leage on the outcome
of a suit which has been pending
since 1888 in Albany, by which the
league is given $4,000, which it had
sued to recover on a literature con-
tract. A telegram of sympathy was
sent to Joseph II. Manley Of Augusta,
Me, a prominent member of the
league. regarding the death Of his
wife. The secretary was instructed to
distribute 10000 copies of T. b.
Walkers tariff pamphlet. 1t was de-
cided to open headquarters for the
league at the Lindell hotel in st. Louis
and it is expected there will be q
large attendance Of league members
at the convention. A general conven-
lion meeting of the league will be held
in the convention hall on the night of
June Is. The reports on the general
work of the league in the different
states showed good working organiza-
ton in all states except California, and
the secretary was instructed to organ
1Ze that state at once. The state of
Iowa claimed to be the best organized
of any of the states, with zoo clubs in
good standing. Iowd'S schemes of or
ganizatron have been generally adopted
by the other states.

LONDON, Feb. ia Washington
dispatch to the Times says, with refer
ence to an editorial in that paper yes
terday which was cabled to the United
States:
"It is agreed here that the govern
ments would only be bound by a major
ity of the original members of the
Joint Venezuelan commission
The Times editorial referred to ex-
pressed the conviction that a proviso
to this effect would have to go with
the plan for the appointment of a joint
committee.
With reference to the growing agi-
tation in favor of a board of interna-
tional arbitration. the Washington dis
patch to the Times says: The move
ment here Will lend strength to the
movement in England, and Lord Sails
bury will find himself face to face with
an organized effort, well led and for
midably supported, with unusual
means of securing such attention and
support as will enable President Cleve-
land to renew and press his proposal
All this might die peaceably if Lord
Salisbury consented to the complete ar
bitratton Of the Venezuelan dispute.
In an editorial the Times contends
that the method Of procedure now sug-
gested does not favor a rapid disposal
of the disputed question, but would
rather deal with detailed investigation
of different districts which would be
a work of time. What is wanted now
is an exact understanding as a basis
for the conditions of which an arbi-
tration ought to proceed. On the 9TH
er hand it is not necessary to wait I'M
til we can formally ratify an agreement
on the whole question. It is highly
probable that if the proposal for a
joint commission were officially sub
mitted, England would accept forth
with, with little or no modification
This would save time and would draw

settle the school question by making
the schools absolutely secular and
eliminating all religious exercises has

Both Protestant and Roman Catholic

lishment Of what they term goddess

say they would rather submit to the
present system, while Protestant
