DAMR0ScH IN TROUBLE.
Leading Members of His German Opera
Company Are Suing Him for
Various Amounts.

NEW YORK, N. Y. March 25.-The
Herald says this morning: The relations
between Walter Damrosch and his Ger
man opera company seem to be little
strained. Two of the principals have
begun suit against him for various
amounts, and the chorus has shown signs
of incipient rebellion
William Gruening says he made con-
tract with Damrosch for forty perform
ances at 5000 a, performance, and although
his regular season was not to begin until
November 20 he consented to sign in the
place of Herr Alvary, who was ill. He
sang "Tristan" in Cincinnati and declined
to do so in Chicago until Damrosch agreed
to give him $1,000. When they made the
final settlement Damrosch deducted $500,
which, he said, he had overpaid the tenor
for his Tristan" performance months
ago. Hence the suit.
Damrosch, Gruening's attorneys say,
takes the ground that the tenor imposed
on him when he was helpless. Gruening
also claims $76 for transportation of bag
gage.
Fraulein Mulder says that Damrosch
discharged her without cause on March 6,
and declined to pay her hotel bills in New
York. She therefore brings suit for $55S
salary and $222 for hotel bills, which she
was obliged to pay herself.

ROME, ITALY, March 25.-In the Senate
to-day Baron Blanc, minister of For
eign Affairs, affirmed that the alliance
between Great Britain and Italy was an
accomplished fact. The overtures for
peace, which had been made with view
to the eventual evacuation of Kassala,
Baron Blanc said, had determined the au-
thorities upon a public, definite manifes-
tation of alliance, which was founded upon
a more solid basis than protocols, namely,
community for defensive interests. This
community would henceforth be extended
to the security OF Italy as a maritime
power, ard the Mediterranean power of
Italy would now become an effective bond
between Great Britain and the Dreibund.
Signor Simonetti, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, concurred in Baron Blanc's state
ment. He created somewhat of sensa-
ton by declaring that if the Dongola ex-
peditlon was aimed at the reconquering of
the Soudan Italy must, if the conquest be
effected, and if Great Britain so desires,
restore Kassala.
Adyices received from Massowah state
that General Baldissera, commander-in-
chief of the Italian forces in Abyssinia,
has started from Asmyra with strong
force. The object OF the expedition is, if
possible, to liberate the Italian garrison at
Adigrat.

asked for carrying on the campaign in

BUTTE CITY SENSATION,
CONSERVATION Among Heirs Of
the Late Andrew J. Davis,
Millionaire.
A Putative Widow Demands the En-.
tire Estate for Herself and Two
Daughters.

BUTTE, Mont, March 25.-Mrs. Huldah
Queen Davis of Tehachapi, CAL, to-day
created sensation among the numerous
claimants of the noted Davis estate by
filing petition in the District Court ask
ing for revocation of the alleged forged
will of Andrew j. Davis, the dead million
aire, and demanding distribution of the
entire estate among herself and two
daughters, alleging she is the surviving
wife of the deceased, who never was be-
lieved to have been married.
The plaintiff alleges in her petition
that they were married in Carroll Count y,
Ark, August 15, 1S42, and have two
children, May Isabel now Mrs. Morrow of
Fresno, CAL, and Laura A., now Mr. s. Cal
houn of San francisco.
1t is stated by Miles J. Cavanaugh, the
woman's attorney, that when the gold
fever broke out Davis left her and went to
California. After few letters she heard
he had been killed and she married man
named Williams and also moved to Cali
fornia, where she found traces of her first
husband, who soon came to Montana. At
ter the death of Williams she married one
George Smell, who is also dead After the
latter's death she determined to demand
her alleged right as the wife of Davis.

THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
1t Is Thought the House HtU Gire Way
to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 25.-After
a session of three-quarters of an hour this
afternoon the conferreas on the Cuban reso-
lutions adjourned until tomorrow without
reaching a conclusion. The drift of the
discussion showed, however. that there
was a firm intention on the part of the
committee to report resolutions that would
meet the approval OF 5Sth houses.
The matter OF accepting the Senate reso-
linton was discussed, one member of the
committee taking the ground that this
Government had no right to ask another
Government TO recognize the independ-
ence of one of its colonies which was in in
surrection. and it was insisted that this
would be casus belll.
In answer TO this it was shown that
when the Cubans were in insurrection be-
fore our Minister to SPAIN General Dam
iel Sickles. was instructed to exercise his
goodly offices TO secure such recognition
at the hands of Spain. and that at that
time Spain took no offense at the action.
All things considered there appeared to
be desire to accept the Senate resolution,
and if this is done there is no doubt but
what the House would agree to such
rrport.
The condition of affairs in the Senate
was discussed this afternoon very frankly.
1t was made plain that there was a small
bur determined minority, headed by SEN

TRAGEDY IN NEVADA CITY,
Lineman Farris Killed at the
Top Of an Electric
Light Shaft.
His Hand Touched a Bare Wire and
1t Held Him as Though
in Wise.

NEVADA CITY. March 25.-Charles L.
Farris, an electrician and line man. en-
ployed by the Nevada County Electric
Power Company, was killed this afternoon,
while about to make repairs to the electric
wire at the Providence mine. He had
climbed a pole for the purpose of soldering
a joint in the wire. Finding the current
was very strong, he remarked to his part
ner, X. G. Dunn: "It is too hot here"
Dunn told him not to attempt to solder,
but TO come down.
Farris started to descend the pole, when
one of his climbing spurs slipped, and he
threw up one hand to save himself. As
he did so, his hand caught the bare wire
that was carrying about 5000 volts, and he
was held there as if in wise. A rope was
soon. afterward placed around his body,
and several men pulled him loose from the
wire. His death had no doubt been in
stantaneous.
Farris had resided here for several
months, and was well liked. He was
large man, weighing over 200 pounds. He
leaves a widow and two daughters, one of
whom is married. Farris was an experi-
enced electrician.

nications.

LONDON, ENG, March 25.-The Times
tomorrow will publish Pretoria dis
patch saying that the position of the
negotiations in connection with the recent
raid into the Transvaal has become serious,
and there is much excitement in official
circles. 1t is now generally believed that
President Kruger will not visit England as
he purposed to do. The attitude of the
British Government is causing uneasiness.
1t is rumored in Pretoria that an i'm
portant telegram has been received from
the British authorities requesting an i'm
mediate reply to former communication,
and Kruger has asked for an extension of
time in which to make answer. The posi-
ton of the leaders in the reform move
ment will become critical in the event of
further friction. Boer feeling is now high
against them.

CANADA'S LOKALTY.

Chamberlain Praises the Domtrio,s Gov
ernMent and the People.
LONDON, ENG. March 25.-Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies, was the guest of honor
at the annual dinner of the Canada Club
in London tonight. The president of the
club, Sir Robert Gillespie, proposed toast
to the Governor-General of Canada and
the Dominion, compiling the pafnes of Mr..
Cha mberlain and Mr.. Montague.
Upon Mr.. chamberlain rising to respond
he was loudly cheered. He declared that
whatever test gauged her greatness Canada
stood to-day first among the group OF kin
dred nations which, together with the
United Kingdom, formed the British
empire. He had often visited Canada, he
said, and knew men on both sides of the At
lantic who once assumed that the manifest
destiny of Canada was to be absorbed by
the great republic upon her southern
frontier. That ancient controversy, Mr..
Chamberlain declared, was in contrast
with the present determination of Canada
to maintain her local institutions and
draw closer the bonds uniting her to the
parent state. The recent isolation of
the United Kingdom and the dangers
which seemed to threaten had evoked
from all the colonies, and especially from
Canada, an outbnrst of loyalty and affec-
ton. To none of her Maiesty's subjects
was the recent shadow Of war more omin-
GUS than to Canada; yet there was no hesi-
tation on her part and unanimous voice
was made in common cause with the
United Kingdom.

Mercy Of the Court Asked in
Behalf of the Thieving
Employe..
HOW THE LOOT WAS SECURED.
Crude Amalgam Found in the Ac.
cused Mans Lunch Basket at
the Mint.

CARSON, New, March 25.-The trial of
Henry Piper, charged with the sealing of
crude amalgam from the Carson mint,
began and ended to-day. The jury after.
being out about an hour returned a ver-
dict of guilty as charged, with a recon-
mendation OF mercy. The jury was Sc
cured before noon and United States At
torney Jones made the opening statement
and the Indictment was read charging Pi-
per with stealing $50 worth of bullion from
the mint. In the opening statement Jones
said:
"We expect to show that on or about
june 5, 1898, the defendant was an en-
ploye in the Carson mint; that he was a
helper in the deposit melting-room, and
on that day there was received certain
deposit of amalgam and an unusual loss
occurred while in that room; that during
the day the defendant deposited his lunch
basket in a small cupboard; that one of
the employees in searching the cupboard
moved the basket and found it very heavy.
He called another employe, and removing
the cover they found some amalgam. One
remained on guard to see that Piper did
not take the basket away; the other went
to report the matter to the superintendent.
While the latter was gone Piper came into
the room, took the basket, and with it
went to the elevator-shaft and dumped the
contents to the bottom of the shaft. He
then started to run toward the basement
at, the bottom of the elevator-shaft The
chief clerk called to him to stop, but he
refused to do so, and when the party
reached the bottom of the shaft the ANAL
gam, with the exception of a few fine
pieces, was gone"
The evidence introduced by the prosecu-
ton completely bore out this charge.
Judge Murphy, attorney for the defendant,
introduced technical evidence, and asked
the Judge to instruct the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty. He declared that
there was no proof to show that the
bullion was the property of the United
States; that there was no value proved;
that the defendant, having the custody of
the bullion taken from the depot to the
mint. if guilty of anything, should be
charged with embezzlement, and that as
larceny was defined to be the telonious
taking of another's property, but as no
evidence was introduced to show that the
defendant took the property out of the
mint he should be found "not guilty"
After some discussion the value of the
bullion was fixed at ST. The case was SUBJ
mitted without argument on either side,
and the jury within an hour returned the
verdict. Sentence will be passed on Satur-
day, and Piper is now in the custody of
the United States Marshal.
