VIII Be Testad.

OAKLAND, CAL, May S.-Under the
existing ordinance the Auditor cannot
draw his warrant unless the requisition
has been signed by the Mayor. The Coun-
Gil has authorized the purchase of supplies
in several instances recently, but the
Mayor has refused to indorse the requisi-
ton. This is the case with Joseph Har-
ris, and it is probable the auditor will be
mandamused so as TO get the law passed
upon.

The House Committee Will Report on
 the Cuban Insurrection at Once.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Intimations that President Cleveland proposes to de- lay decisive action i'll the matter of Cuban recognition until the opening of the rainy season and that the house committee on foreign affairs is disposed to postpone the passage of a resolution on the subject in accordance with his wishes, are said to be unfounded so far as the house foreign affairs committee is concerned. Since the Cuban corres- pondenoe was printed, the suboom- mittee have had the question under consideration and all the indications are that when the full committee meets tomorrow resolution will be sub- mitted and favorably acted upon. The resolution will probably declare it to be the sense of congress that state of war exists in Cuba and will request the president to issue his proclamation recognizing the insurgents as beliger- ents and giving them the rights due from neutrals

TIE cotton receipts of Little Rock are nearly 10000 bales short of the receipts of year ago. And yet the figures show that we have received about $1,OO0, 900 more for the crop Of 1895 than we received for the crop of 1894. These figures tell the advantages of reduced acreage more eloquently and forcibly than long columns of editorials. -Arkan- sas Denaocrat.

THE NICARAGUA REBELLION.
Minister Baker Asks That One of Oar

 Wnrships Be Sent to Corinto.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The state de- partment has been advised by United States Minister Baker of the threatened revolution in Nicaragua and the minis ter has also asked to have a United States warship stationed at Corinto, al- though the officials will not confirm or deny this. Probably the reason for de- olining to admit the fact is that the de- partment has found itself, after com munfcating with the navy department, unable to comply immediately with the minister's request, owing to the absence of United States naval vessels from the vicinity of Corinto. Steamer Alert, which will reach Acapulco Saturday or Sunday will receive orders to turn southward again and go to Corinto. AL though this will be done ill difference to Minister Baker's request, it is not be- ieved at the state or navy departments that an emergency exists i'll Nicaragua, or, at any rate, one that could be met by stationing warship on the west coast, far removed from communication with the interior towns where the revo- lutionary movement has it's strength.

Co., DAN w JONES is in the re- markable attitude of posing as a candidate for the Democratic nom ination for Governor, and at the same time saying he will not sup port the nominee of the party if such nominee be opposed to the free coinage of silver. In other words, he doesn't profess to be good party Democrat. The announcement of this position was made by the gen tleman in a aspeech at Little Rock the other night and the proper re- buke was then and there adminis- tered to him by his opponent, Hon.
 J. H. Harrod. The Free Press is for free coinage of silver and the Dem ocracy of Arkansas almost to man entertains the same views. But a very correct sentiment also prevails that fealty is necessary and abso- lutely indispensable qualification in
 every man who aspires to their sui frage. No man in Arkansas is bigger than his party; and when one who feels that he is, and announces that he will stay with the party only so long as it's platform declar- ations meet with his approval, de- clares his candidacy for Demo- cratic nomination, he will, we pre- dict, find but few votes and very

peared on the scene of action More
than one boy has cashed fistful of
tickets for riding a winning mount
played by THE Frenchman." Lately
the big bettors have not thrown much
money in the way of the lads, but now
IL comes in punches of $500 when the
favored horse of the new star lands in
front. At least, it is said, this amount
was given one of the wearers of silk
the other day.
The heavy spectators at the tracks
are closely watching the course of the
new man and declare that such phe-
nomenal luck cannot last. They point
out Riley Grammar as a man who had
everything his own way for a while.
Lately, 1t seems, that Grammar cannot
win a bet. He has played a series of
heavy losses within the past few
weeks, apparently having lost all his
old-time form in picking winners. So
constant has been his ill-fortune lately
that very few follow his lead. The

three steps at a bound. Enforced alb
sence had caused their first separation.
and he imagined the surprised delight
with which she would greet his unex-

her boudoir, he paused, distracted and
irresolute. The room wore a familiar
aspect. The fire flickered from the
crate with subdued CLEAN and a
shaded lamp near the piano lent an air
OF elegance and grace to every article
or furniture within its radius. The
apartment was unoccupied, but across
the back of chair in an alcove law n
mans hat and coat. Then suddenly
there flashed upon him the recollection
OF having stumbled over a bicycle as he
entered the garden gate. AS he stood
staring in dismay a portiere was drawn
