ALL "ON THE MAKE"

Londoners Will Turn as Many Honest
Pennies as Possible Jubilee Week.
LONDON, May 24.-London is already
plunged into the queens jubilee prepa-
rations, and for the next six weeks it
promises to be the most uncomfortable
city in Europe. Along the route of the
procession, the fronts of the buildings
are disfgured by hideous soaffoldings,
preparatory to building seats. Even
churches like St. Martin S in the Field,
have been sold to spectators who have
almost completely covered the edifice
mentioned with building preparations,
little sign reading Services as usual, )"
being about the only indication left of
the church proper st. Pauls cathedral
is likewise disfgured by huge stands.
The price of provisions has already
advanced and everything has at least
doubled in cost. For the jubilee week
several of the large hotels refuse to make
any definite arrangements for rooms,
even for old patrons, until week before
the jubilee. Every person who has been
able to do so has let his or her house for
the celebration, and is preparing to. flee
to the country. The fact is that every
one in London is, to use a slang express
sion, son the make"

Lively Experience of the Brit
ish Steamer Ethelred Off
the Cuban Coast.
Fired on by Spanish Vessels
Both on the Way to Ja-
maiCa and Back.
Belief That Captain Hart Was
on Board Reason for the
Double Effort.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-After being
twice chased by Spanish gunboats and
passing through a perfect storm of shot
which splashed i'll the water across the
vessels bows, the British fruit steamer
Ethelred passed through the exciting or
deal unscathed and arrived at this port
fter five days run from Port Anton
10, Jamaica.
When the Ethelred left here May IL
it was the intention of Captain John d.
Hart to accompany her, but he was ar
rested as he was about to step on the
gang plank to go aboard AS it was, his
invalid daughter was passenger. 1t
is supposed that agents of the Spanish
government in this city had notified the
Spanish authorities at Havana that Hart
would be on board the vessel, hence the
effort to hold the Ethelred in Cuban wa
ters.
Chased by Gunboat.
The first encounter with the Spanish
cruisers occurred off Cape Maisyi on the
trip down. Just after dusk on Sunday
evening, May 16, gunboat without
any lights shot out from under the capes
and, crowding on all steam, steered di-
.ectly for the fruit vessel After steam
ing for an hour without gaining an inch
the gunboat turned searchlight ON the
other vessel. All steam was crowded on
the Ethelred which was beginning to
show the Spainiard a clean pair of heels
when cloud of smoke belched from the
cruisers side and second later a solid
shot cut the water half mile ahead of
her bows. Then came second and
third shot, each nearer than the others.
Captain Israel kept ON his course and
after another hours hot chase the Span
iards dropped from the race.
The Second Attempt
The second chase happened last Thurs
day afternoon in almost the same spot
in which the first attempt to hold the
vessel up occurred Just as the Ethel
red rounded Cape Maisyi big Spanish
gunboat Of the newest type started out
from under the cape and gave chase to
the Ethelred. For two hours the chase
was kept up, enlivened now and then by
solid shot throwing up sea of white
spray just ahead of the swift vessels
bows. 1t began to look as if the Span
lard meant to chase the Ethelred clear
to the Delaware capes, when another
steamship was sighted and the gunboat
sheered off and gave vigorous chase to
the newly discovered steamer.

DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.
Internal Revenue Schedule of the Tariff
Bill to BE First Attacked.

Bill TO be flrsC Attacked.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The demo
cratic senator's held caucus and decided
to inaugurate their fight upon the tariff
bill as soon as the bill is taken up in the
senate by a motion to strike out the in
ternal revenue features Of the bill relat.
ing to beer and tobacco.
This result was reached after dis
cussion in which practically all the SEN
ators present participated. The con-
clusion was unanimous that this was
the wise and polite course to pursue.
The talk was based largely upon the
proposition to increase the tax upon
beer, which was generally criticized as
an effort to increase the price of 1.-THE
poor mans beverage" which was pro-
nounced wholly unjustifiable in time of
peace and with $l20,00O,OOO of idle
money in the treasury. The proposed
beer tax was condemned as war tax.
The discussion of other features of the
tariff bill was only desultory and nc
conclusion beyond that stated was
reached

TARIFF IN THE SENATE
Bill Taken Up Ten Weeks After the BE-

ginning of the Session.
WASHINGTON, May 24-On tomorrow,
ten weeks and a day after the beginning
of the session, the senate will take up
the tariff bill for the passage of which
the session was especially called. SEN
ator Aldrich will call up the bill, move
its consideration and make speech in
its support. The Democratic amend
ment striking out the internal revenue
features of the bill will be introduced
by Senator Vest. After this the course
of procedure is somewhat indefinite.
The Democrats are not clear as to
whether they will permit the immediate
taking up of the schedules or will de-
mand an opportunity to make set
speeches bearing upon the general policy
of the bill. The prevailing opinion
among the Democratic leaders is against
the policy of general speeches at the
beginning of the discussion.

Victoria.

lBERALS IN BAD TEMPER.
Government Must Give Satisfaction, or a
Boycott VIII Follow.


LONDON. May 24.-The Standard s
correspondent in Madrid says: In the
conference held on Saturday between
the president Of the senate, the premier
and Senior Segasta, with reference to
the Tetuan- Comas inciden {, the president
said he would not be justified in inter-
fering, as the affair had not occurred in
the senate chamber but in the lobby.
The premier declared that the opposi-
ton ought to be satisfied if the Duke of
Tetuan announced in the senate cham
Der that he never intended to slight or
give offense to the Liberal minority. He
added that the government could not
dispense with the Duke Of Tetuan's
services as minister of foreign affairs,
because he alone was acquainted with
and able to conduct important and deli
cate pending negotiations with foreign
governments (meaning America).
Senior Sagasta promised to give his
followers conciliatory advice, but said
he must be guided by their decision.
Accordingly he summoned meeting Of
the Liberals, who were in no concilia-
tory temper. However, after pro-
longed discussion they
Gave Vote of Confidence
to Senior Sagasta, with instructions to
settle the conflict on the understanding
that they would not enter the cortes
until the government had given them
such satisfaction as Senior Sagasta
deemed proper.
The dissenting Conservatives declared
that they would follow the decision of
the Liberals, and therefore ministerial
lists only have been present in parlia-
ment since Friday.
