TROUBLE AGAIN..

NEW YORK, March ga special to
the World from Caracas says:
Trouble has again broken out be-
tween the English railroad and the
municipal authorities. TIE Valencia
line was ordered to remove it's rails
from the streets of Puerto Cabillo. The
company refused and returned the
note, and the railroad officials were
accused of contempt of authority. The
city threatens to remove the rails at
the company's expense.
The press claims this is another evi-
dence of English contempt for Vene-
zuela'S laws.

THAT DISPATCH.
Spanish Minister Creates Sensa-
ton in Madrid.

NEW YORK, March Pa dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says:
Great excitement was caused by the
receipt at the palace of the following
dispatch from Minister Dupuy de
LONE:
THE senators favoring belligerency
are convinced of the growing opposition
of the house of representatives, and the
country, and have agreed unanimously
to reject the resolution of the joint
committee. It is the general opinion
that efforts to be made hereafter will
be fruitless. the matter now being
considered as virtually ended"
The Havana papers issued late last
evening extras, which were snapped UP
greedily in the hoUels and cafes. The
Spaniards openly expressed great sat
isfaction and gathered in groups, con-
graduating one. another ON the news.
Some Cubans, however, were slow to
accept the report, and believed that
there must have been some mistake.
THE REACTION OF FEELING
towards Americans, due to Minister
Dupuy de Lome's dispatch was illus
trated at the produce and other ex-
changes, where Americans, who, of
late, have been rather unpopular, were
greeted with handshakes, and on. one
or two cases barely escaped being tcar-
ried on the shoulders of their enthuSi-
aStic fellow members.
The editorials printed in the Havana
papers praise Minister de Lome's dis
erection and the senate's good sense.
Some editors who have been sneering
at the United States almost daily
speak of the great republic in terms OF
fraternal endearment.

NOMINATION OF VIM. M'K1NLEY

Previous to choosing delegates a reso-
luton was adopted requiring all dele
gates to go upon the floor and declare
fer Mckinley and sound money, and
not only to vote, but to work to &C
complish this end. This was to force
an expression from Senator Pettigrew.
The senator stood in the center of the
convention hall when called upon to
state his position, and declared that
he would bow to the will of the ma
jority, that while he had followed a
course which the future seemed to jus
tify, he was now willing to go to st.
Louis and comply with the wishes of
the state convention by voting for Nc
Kfnley and sound money. Directly af-
ter the adjournment of the convention
seven of the delegates held a caucus
at which they resolved they would not
permit Senator Pettigrew to go as
chairman; neither would they permit
him to be upon any committee at the
national convention.

Curious Find I'm PhiladeIphiu.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A skeleton not unlike mammoth and
very much unlike any of the animals of
the present day indigenous to this region
has been unearthed in stone quarry in
West Philadelphia. The men had put in
a big blast and after the smoke had cleared
away they found a most curious state of
affairs. The stone bank that had been dis
turbed evidently formed the front wall Of
a cave that ran back under ground some
thirty feet. The walls of the cavern had
been perfectly formed. In the center of the
pit stood a skeleton. 1t was larger than
that of any animal the men had seen. Four
great tusks stood out from the bony jaw
and some Of the teeth that stood In two
Well-formed, grinning rows were six inches
in length. The smallest tooth was ~
inches long ard about one inch square
Most of the bones were in a perfect state
of preservation. Near the skeleton was
what looked like human skull.
The bones were taken out and put in
pile. Unfortunately, no guard was placed
over them. and crowds Of people who visit
ed the spot on Sunday carried many of the
bones away as relics. When DIR. Milton
Greeman, curator of the Wistar Institute
visited the cave yesterday several impor-
tant bones were missing. What was left
of the skeleton was, however, taken to the
institute for investigation. DIR. Greeman
said that in many respects the animal
looked like rhipoceros. The formation of
the head was not unlike that of q large
bear. DR.. Greeman thinks the animal too
small and too young to have been a mas
todon. The bones were not over 400 or 800
years old. The skull that was found near
by was evidently that Of an Indian.

MASKED CONVICTS.
How the Identity of French Prisoner,
is Concealed.
From the New York World

Is Concealed.
From the New York World
The story of NJ. Bahaut's life IN a French
prison, which is now told in connection with
the. to him at least, glad news of his pardon
by President Faure, draws attention to some
peculiarities of the convict world in the
public of the tricolor. The convict mask so
often referred to by novelists, is usually
believed by readers to be connection of
the writer's brain. but ii is worn in French
prisons today, not as is often suggested by
way of additional humiliation, but as a pro-
lection to the wearer
Although this hood, or mask as it is
called, presents a horrible aspect, strangely
resembling that which is brought down over
the heads of condemned prisoners when
about to be executed, yet the object which
the authorities have had in view in order
ing 1t to be worn by prisoners is merciful
and even philanthropic. The principal pur-
pose of the mask is to prevent a prisoner or
convict being recognized by any of his fell
low-cCnvicts. The government takes il for
granted that some of the men incarcerat ted
Will, after their restoration TO liberty, sue

spectacle and even influential position in
society 1t is these people whom the au-
thorities wish TO protect from being recog-
nized and blackmailed by former fellow
conVicts on the threats of diVuIging the
past to the people among whom the lot of
the reformed convict is cast. So anxious
is the government about the matter that the
prisoner is under stringent orders to pull
the hood down over the face even when he
is in his cell, and any one enters, no mat
ter whether it be one of the guards
visitor Prisoners, therefore, always wear
their hood around their neck. ready for i'm
mediate use, even when they are alone in
their cells.
The only prison in France where the mask
IS dispensed with are those penitentiaries
devoted exclusively to old timers-that is
convicts who are already serving their sec

Concealment of the features with them has
of course, no object.

without dollar to one who can he consid-

about fifty years of age, with little or no

Pierce went on to state that as he had no
