he added, amid applause.
Johnson (R.) OF Indiana called atten-
ton to the irrelevent character OF the de-
bate. The committee would have consid-
cred but forty-tive OF the 1853 pages of the
pill by the time set for taking the vote on
its passages.
Dlngley said the criticisms of Johnson
| were well founded. but that the gentle
men on the other side persisted in max
ing assaults upon the bill at every point.
and it must be expected that some re-
sponse would be made.
For the Democrats Dockery CD of
Missouri asserted with great vIgor that
it could not be expected that they would
sit still while a bill of this magnitude and
Importance was being considered and not
make all legitimate assaults against its
provisions.
ChIorate of soda was inserted in the bill
on motion by Payne (R. } of New York, at
3 cents pound.
Mabany (R) OF New York moved to in
crease the duty on lime from to cents,
the rate In the Mckinley law. 1t was an
tagonized by Lentz CD of Ohio.
Dingley's motion to cut off further de-
bate on the amendment was opposed by
the Democrats, who we're not satisfied by
g vote by division, but insisted upon
tellers. The motion was agreed to-123 to
81 Mahanys amendment was rejected.
On motion by Dingley arl-hardening,
for paper makers, was included with
plaster of paris at 81 so ton.
At AIS P. NJ. the committee rose and the

About $4,000

NEW LONDON. Conn, March 27.-The
new gunboat Wilmington on her official
trial trip over the Government course on
Long Island Sound made speed q trife
over fifteen knots an hour. Her require
ment was thirteen knots, and the ship
thus earns bonus of $40, 900 for her build
ers, the Newport News Ship building and
Drydock Company. The conditions of the
trial were favorable, and it is possible that
the official computation may make the
speed Is. .25 knots or a bonus of $45 900.
The Wilmington was constructed by the
Newport News Ship-building and Dry
dock Company, and is designed especially
for river service. She is $50 feet 8A inches
long on the water line and 25l feet 10
inches over all, with a maximum beam of
A feet and a depth from the fat keel to
the top of the beams of the upper deck of
% feet inches
At draught of nine feet her dsplace-
ment is 1890 tons. She will have large
military mast, with two military tops.
There will be a coming tower on the mast
just below the military top, thus enabling
her captain at height of forty-fve feet
above her water line to direct her move
ments. Her berthing capacity is sufi-
cient for many additional men besides her
crew.
Her machinery consists of triple expan-
sion twin engines. having cylinders
141a, % and 33A inches in diameter and
eighteen inches stroke. The total coal
bunker capacity is about $50 tons.
To facilitate landing the large body of
men she has ships boats of an unusual
size, her steam-cutter and sailing.launch
each being thirty feet long.
She is provided with a searchlight, to be
placed on her military mast, but she has
no torpedo-tubes.
The arrangement of the battery will be
as follows: Four 4-inch guns, mounted in
pairs. two forward and two aft, those aft
being mounted on the main deck, those

NEW YORK, N Y, March pa
Herald special from Key West, Fla. says:
1t is stared on the hest authority that a
filibustering exp edition which sailed from
this vicinity last week effected landing
on the north coast OF Cuba, west of
Havana, near Mariel. According to ru-
mors which are current here startling cir
cumstances attended the landing.
The Spaniards, 1t is said. had been in
formed that such an expedition would
land from the steamer Bermuda, and
strong force was placed in ambush on the
northern coast near the point where it
was supposed that the party would at
tenn pt to reach the shore.
The place at which the expedition really
landed was in fact but short distance
from the reported ambush of the Span
iards, and as soon as the Cubans came
ashore with their arms and ammunition
they were met by sharp fire and at
tack. before which they were powerless.
Several of the Cubans, according to the
rumor, were killed and the munitions of
war were seized. Later, the rumor states,
large body OF Cubans came TO the rescue
of the newiy-landed men and boldly at
tackled the victorious Spaniards troops, the
result being that ne Spaniards in turn
were put to flight, the warlike cargo re-
naming in the hands OF the Cubans.
The Spaniards had also, it is stated,
sent several gunboats to that part of the
coast and when the filibustering vessel
sailed she was chased and fired upon, but,
according to the report, was uniniured.

CUBAN FORGERS CAPTURED.
Before Their Operations Are
Checked

NEW YORK, N. Y. March 27.-A special
to the Sun from Havana says: The police
have discovered here another gang of
swindlers. audacious as the one which last
year forged the signature of HidaIgo &
Co. OF Havana on draft OF August Bel
mont & Co. OF New York and swindled
several other foreign banks with CORE
spondents in Cuba. The two principals OF
the last gang, now under arrest, are Span
iards-Sevastion Bernal y Alonzo and An
tonic Marti Herrara, both of Valencia.
Both men carried on their frauds for a
long time from Madrid, Barcelona and
other important towns of the peninsula,
and are said to have defrauded many per-
sons in France, England and the United
States. Last year they came to Havana
with some of their associates, and here
they have obtained criminally more than
$500. 900. Their way of operating was ex-
ceedingly clever.
Knowing by name many persons of
Spanish or Cuban descent living abroad
and foreigners married to Spanish or Gu
ban women, they obtained full informa-
tion regarding the distant relatives OF
these persons.
men tuey duuIeSS6u l6tLerS 10 tQS pro.
posed victims, notifying them that certain
of their distant relatives had died, leaving
large legacies to the persons addressed.
The letters appeared to have been
signed by a notary public, who inclosed
certified copies OF the wills on Spanish
legal paper. The signatures of the no.
taries were certified apparently by the
Havana Consul General of the nation to
which the person was addressed. In each
case the seal OF the consulate was forged
to make the proof of the genulneness
seem conclusive.
Bernal conceived the plan and Marti,
who is wonderful penman. was in charge
of the forging of seals and signatures. At
the house of Marti in Guanabacoa, the
town across the bay where he was arrest
ed, the police found lot OF legal paper,
seals of all the Spanish courts in Cuba
and of all the important consulates, and
forged signatures of nearly all the masis-
trates and public notaries in Havana.
Bernal and Marti were discovered
through information made in Santiago de
Cuba with the Chief OF Police, Senior Tru-
jillo, who after long Investigations asked
that they be arrested in Havana.

sLAsHIAG FRHIGHr RATES.
First Open Cut Made by the Miss our
Pacific Road.


CHICAGO, ILL, March 1.-THE first
open fat cut rates since the anti-associa-
ton decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States was made by the Missouri
Pacific Railroad. 1t made a rate of 33%
cents on eggs in car lots from all Kansas
points to st. Louis, subject to the Mis-
souri, River minimums.
This is a proportional rate on through
business east of the Western trunk-iine
termini and to intermediate points there
of. The tariff rates are raised from IS to
rs cents per 100 pounds. 1t is understood
that the Western lines will publish an
equalizing tariff as soon as the Missouri
Pacifc's rate, which is effective next Mon
day, is made known. The effect of this
cut will be to send 800 600 cases of eggs
for storage from Chicago houses to cities
east OF Pittsburg and Buffalo.
The cause of this cut is the withdrawal
OF roads from the freight associations, and
the effect will be to demoraize the whole
Western freight rate situation next week.
Chicago roads have secured from the
Interstate Commerce Commission the sus-
pension of the long ano short haul clauses
of the act so far as passenger business
from Canadian points 10 the Koote-
mai gold fields in British Colum bia
is concerned, because Canadian Pacific
road put into effect reduction of from
S4 to So from points in Eastern Canada to
the gold fields. This suspension means
that the Canadian cut will now be met via
Chicago.
Net earnings of the Chicago. Milwaukee
and ST. Paul road for February amounted
to S273 6l3, an increase of SIS 875 COM
pared with the same month in 1886.

many. After be fed the country it was
discovered that Re had forged paper to
the amount of $3.50. 900. He returned to
this country secretly, committed bigamy
at Albany and settled abroad with rich
vile. Jones' arrest occurred at Scar
borough, England, where he was known
as the owner of Askdale Stud Farm. 1t

About one cubic centimeter was injected
into white mice. After fifteen hours these
mice were inoculated with actual culture
of the plague bacillus. which experiments
had proved to be fatal to the mice within
twenty-iour hours, showing its efficiency.
The animals which had been previously
injected with serum remained alive.
Tests made to ascertain the curative
powers of this serum have not been so
satisfactory, though in most cases 1t pro-

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 27.-Dr.
Alvan H. Doty, health officer of the port,
sent to President Wilson of the Health
Board yesterday report as to the ex-
periments recently made with the view
Of finding an antitoxins for the bubonic
plague. He visited Egypt and India some
months ago and made some study OF the
plague in those countries. His report
says:
During the latter part of February a
temporary laboratory was constructed on
Swim burne Island for the purpose of in
vestigating the plague bacteria, and if
possible producing a plague antitox1ne.
The work began February II and the
laboratory was stocked with animals for
the purpose of examination. On February
20 q horse was inoculated with The cul-
lure of plague bacillus. This was repeated
on March 8. In order to determine how
early the serum might have acquired
antltoxic properties, about one pint OF
Llood was drawn from the horse March
Is for experimental purposes, and from
this half a pint Of serum was secured.

for the queen in 1868. The stones
used on this Occasion, which are
wholly diamonds, were in the main
crown jewolD, and the crown will there
fore remain tho property of the crown,

for tho use of her majesty was borne
out of the privyp purse. This diadem is

the Maltese cross is decoration

Tho general oll,ct Of this crown is
excellontly shown in tho current coin-
ago, in which it is half concealed by
vol, which was not worn in the oar
lier years Of tho reign, whom this
form Of circlet was in ordinary use;
and, indeed, there wonil seem to be
somo doubt as to whether the par
ticular form of coronot depicted on
tho present coin ISSUES has over been
adopted by tho queen mactuul use at
all. 1t was this diadom, and anoth-
or Of a like shape that preceded it,
which woro usod when her majesty
opened or proroguod parliament,
and also on such occasions as tho mar
riago Of tho princess Royal.
On every occasion on which the
queen visited tho house Of lords the
state crown was tukon out Of the
ragalla room in tho tower Of London
and WAS borne before her on Il cush-
ion. Except for this purpose the
crown has only left tho tower on two
occasions during the roign once for
repair (somo part Of the sitting hay
ing become loosened) and once in or
der to modify the ermine. The
crown has mover been actually worn
by the queen at any function what
ever since the act of coronation SO
years ago, and there is nothing in the
episodes Of the forthcoming com
mcmorntion that will require it's re-
moval from the tower. The state

and 4 rubirs, was over half Il million
dolalrs, apart from tho pricnIiss ruby

Prince, and the large sapphire pur-

ion OF competent critics the stones
still have an intrinsic value of like
