Bible society has had trouble with Peruvian
officials for a long time pas ~''hhe expulsion

subject between Great Britain and Peru, and
the refusal of the registration OF the mar

was the basis of diplomatic action upon the
part of the United States, The missionary
question involving the marriage question
brought to the trent are regarded as being of
great Importance ny all the Protestanis in
Peru, and it has been inH-cated for some
time past that they might possibly lead to
change in the Peruvian constitution. But
the government appears wiling 10 meet the
issue In friendly spirit, a: indicated by its
preparation of the resolution previously re-
ferred TO.

Deserters.


Deserters.
BOSTON, Feb. 2S.-The three-masted
schooner, Navarino, Captain Warner,
from Manzanila, Cuba, with sugar,
arrived here today. Her officers
confirm the report received here
that the ship had been stopped by Spanish
gunboat in Cuban waters and searched.
The captain and crew submitted quietly to
the inspection of the Spanish officers, but
they are highly indignant at what they con-
slider an insult to the American flag
The chief mate of the Navarino discussed
the incident In conversation win an Asso-
ciated press correspondent as follows 1--WE
left Manzanilla Cuba, on January %, in
charge of Spanish pilot. At o'clock
Sunday afternoon when we had reached a
point about half way between Manzanilla
and Cape Cruz. small Spanish war vessel
came down on us with a swivel gun trained
on US. We set the stars and stripes and
dropped our anchor boat occupied by a
second lieutenant, pilot, two armed Spanish
marines and oarsmen, was rowed to our
vessel, the first four persons coming on
board. AS none OF us could understand
Spanish. our pilot acted as interpreter, and
we ascertained from him that the party was
in search Of two Spanish marines, who had
deserted from the gunboat. and were thought
to be on board our schooner. They pro-
ceeded to search the vessel and remained
about half an hour when they departed"
On account of being left by the tide
through the delay caused by the Spanish
sailors, the Navarino could not proceed until
the next day.

LONDON LOOKS AT 1T SERIOUSLY.
senate Resolution May Touch on the
Fiery Spanfnrd.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.--The action OF the
United States senate on the Cuban ques-
tion has aroused comment in the city press
An editorial in the Standard says: "The
senate has placed President Cleveland in
highly embarrassing position. 1t is un-
likely that the proud Spanish nation would
yield If America threatened war on behalf
of Cuba 1t is much to be hoped that Pres
ident Cleveland will act prudently."
An editorial in the Times on the same
subject says: 1.-The resolution is very en-
barrassing for Spain. who, while she can
not bpt regaid the recognition as an un-
friendly act, is in no position to resent IT..
She could gain nothing by declaring war
against the United States, who in addition,
can make out case which is at least plaus-
ible, that 1t Is merely tardy and reluctant
recognition of palpable facts
"The supplementary resolution was avow-
edly added in Difference to those who would
gladly provoke a war with Spain. The pro-
posals for the independence of Cuba, pre-
sented as they probably will be, W tn direct
ness of speech in which American politicians
often indulge could not fall to prove in
the highest degree offensive to proud and
sensitive people Whatever course this presi-
dent may decide to take on this resolut on
and the inflamatory language in which it is
discussed, demand consideration by Spain.
Her position is one of such difficulty and
del'cacy that she may well commend the
sympathy even of those disappearing the
recent history of Cuba Distasteful as al
most any course, save an obstinate continu-
ance of the struggle must be to the majority
of Spaniards, it may perhaps be advisable
to consider whether home rule for Cuba is
not the best solution"
A dispatch from Madrid to the Standard
says that the papers there publish some
curious statistics as to the cost of the Cuban
war. Nearly $4,000 men have been sent to
the island, and the cost of the rebellion has
already amounted to 100000 600 (S50, 900, ,000),
and for the second year it Will exceed f15,-
100000 ($75, ,000 000 The standard corre-
spondent says that Captain General Weyler
reports that 1t will take at least two years
to crush the rebellion.
The Chronicle in an editorial thinks that
in view of the concurrent resolution, Captain
General Weyler's action, and the approach of
the presidential election, President Cleve-
land will not hesitate long. "The serious
ness of the situation created" the Chronicle
gees on to say, cannot be well overesti-
mated. 1t is inconceivable that Spain should
agree TO give independence to Cuba. 1t is
equally difficult to see what effective oppo-
siton she could offer il the United States
determined to follow it's good offices by ac-
tion. The American government, however, is
entering upon a thcrny road at the bidding
of congress. We suppose that it fully recog-
nizes all the responsibilities that it is pro-
posing TO Incur"

several Lives Thought to BE Lost

DULUTH MINI, Feb. 29.-Fire broke
out at o'clock this morning in the O'Brien-
Knowlton block. on Michigan street. The
building, which is four stories high is oc-
cupied by wholesale produce concerns. The
upper stories are occupied by families. A
strong wind Is blowing and nothing can
save the structure. 1t Is feared that sey-
eral lives have been lost.

efforts will be made TO suppress the small
bands left behind by Gomez. 1t is scarcely
possible that extensive operations can be
carried on In Santa Clara before the rainy
season. The weather prophets think that
the rainy season will set in early this year.
Last year 1t was unusually late. II the
rains come before May l 1t will be almost
impossible to conduct military movements.
Thereafter General Pando, commanding in
Santa Clara who has the same energetic
qualities as General Weyler, was therefore
transferred from Santiago with the knowl-
edge that the seat Of war Is to be next In
that province.
STRENGTH OF THE ARMY.
When the troops now on the sea coming
from Spain arrive; the regular Spanish army
in Cuba will consist OF about 1885 900 men Of
all branches. About 5000 men are now or
ganized as cavalry. AS fast as mounts can
be provided the number will be increased.
If there is no practical interference by the
United States, the rebellion Will be sup
pressed by the Spanish government in the
course Of time. In my opinion, the friendly
Offices of the United States government, in
manner not to offend Spanish sensibilities,
may do much to end the war at a later
period honorably to almost all concerned.
There is much personal distress in Ha-
vana and all the other towns, especially
among the class Of people formerly inde-
pendent. Many clerks who used to earn
good salaries are now pnchei sadly. En-
ployers have no use for them. The labor
ing class, artisans and particularly small
property owners, who cannot collect rents
everybody, in fact, engaged in pursuits de-
pendent on prosperous times, are now in a
bad condition.
Were it not for climatic conditions there
would be intense suffering. But lin the
tropics men, women and especially children
live on less than do those who live in a
cold climate.
II sugar making on even a small scale
can go on, as the governor expects there is
some encouragement for those now suffer
ing for want of income.

THE INCONVENIENCE OF VOTING.

There was good deal of criticism and
complaint yesterday of the arrangements
and facilities for voting. The booths We're
too small, neither deep enough nor wide
enough; and the shelf on which voters had
to prepare their ballots was altogether too
narrow Ar ordinary-sized man found him.
self uncomfortably cramped in the booth,
and large man could scarcely find room
to handle. stamp and fold, and with the
ink pad occupying part of the narrow shelf
no person could prepare his ballot without
a feeling of decided discomfort. The truth
is, the process of voting is not conducted
in q manner in keeping with the dignity
and Importance of the proceeding. The ac-
election officers, are meager and mean, and
there Is a generally slip-shod air about the
arrangements that seems to suggest that
each particular election is either the first
one that has been or the last that will be
held. AS popular elections are the corner
stone of our political system, and will be
held frequently as long as the government
endures, proper and permanent provision
should be made for holding them in COM
Portable. convenient and dignified way. This
cannot be said of any of the present ar
rangements, and least of all the contracted
and uncomfortable booths.

HONOR TO THE sOUND-MONEY DEMO-

In proposing the sentiment which stands
at the head of this article the Journal feels
sure that it voices the feelings of all Re
publicans and all true patriots. No polit
ical movement since the war has been more
indicative of political independence or more
distinct in its recognition of the duty to
put country above party than the repudia-
ton of their party platform and candidate
by the sound-money Democrats in this
campaign For. although the platform and
candidate were Populistic they represented
in a sense the Democratic party organize
ton and had a quasi claim to the support
of those who. acknowledging party ties,
lad called themselves Democrats. But the
sound-money Democrats took the impreg-
nable ground that when the party orsani-
cation deserted the traditional principles Of
the party it forfeited all claim to support
on the plea of regularity. Indeed they took
even higher ground for they declared that
the Chicago platform and candidate were
a menace TO prosperity. to good govern
ment and to the Republic itself. and that

Of history % the genius of the American
peoDie for self-government, it seemed al
most incredible that they should give Sc
rious heed 70 the dangerous doctrines
promulgated by the Chicago convention.
But these doctrines were cunningly devised
to catch the attention and fancy of the
unthinking multitude and the specious ar
guments used by their advocates in pre-
senting them to the public threatened pos
sible results that for a time alarmed the
most faithful lovers of the established in
stitutions. 1t seemed that this might be
one of the unreasoning crazes that some
times sweep over community and affect
the sanest minds. and which can only be
cured by allowing them to wear themselves
out through the reaction that follows the
putting Of wild theories into practice. In
this case the carrying out OF the theories
meant immediate disaster and the under
mining of the foundations of the govern
ment. They could not be tried as mere ex-
periments; the consequences of a trial of
false financial doctrines and of an admin
istration elected on a platform approving
anarchy would be so far-reaching in their
destructive effects that no man could see
the end. And so lovers of their country
feared. but they also hoped and trusted.
and their hope and trust has been justified.

people, their inherent honesty and honor,
