The Duke of Tetuans Boxes the
Ears of Senior COmas,
A Senator in the Spanish Cor
tez, During a Session.
DUKE KNOCKED DOWN.
Promptly by the Secretary of
the Senator.
Duel is Arranged But is Finally
Called Off.

Madrid, May 22.-Senor Morel 7.
Prendergast, a former minister, asked
the government on behalf of the liberals
in the chamber of deputies yesterday to
submit all the papers relating to the re-
beIlion in Cuba and to the diplomatic
relations of Spain with the powers.
The premier said:
SPANS relations with other powers
continue cordial, but the advice which
the Americans are offering to US as to
Cuba, cannot be followed, because
Spain will never accept any interven-
ton in a matter which peculiarly con-
Germs herself"
Senior Morel Y Prendergast asked if
it were true that the United States
senate had recognized the beligerency
of the Cuban insurgents.
The premier replied that the report
to this effect was not a surprise to him
as it was a question of creating more
difficulties for President Mckinley in
connection with the tariff bill, but he
said he believed President Mckinley
like Mr.. Cleveland, would decide for
himself in such a matter
The incident finally eliminated in a
free fight, provoked by the statement
of the Duke of Tetuan that Senior Sa-
gasta's speech to liberals had contrib
uted to bring about the vote in the
American senate.
Gen. Louis Pando said things now
happening are due to the cowardice and
feebleness of the government.
Senior ComaS said:
You will discuss that tomorrow"
I'VE viii discuss it, replied the Duke
of Tetuan, but I will accept dictation
from nobody
Nor I either" retorted Senior Comas
at the top of his voice.
At this point the Duke of Tetuan,
pale with excitement. boxed both ears
of Senior COmas and felled him to the
floor. The secretary of COmas threw
himself upon the duke and struck him
a heavy blow with his fist. Several
senators interviewed and a general scuf-
fe enSued with great confusion, and it
was some time before order was re-
stored. The Duke of Teuuan rendered
his resignation Immediately after the
incident. It is believed that he misun-
derstOOd the reply of Senior COmaS as
he is regarded as an extremely cOur-
teOus and honorable man.
Senior COmas is a professor in the uni
versity of Madrid and is held in high
esteem in scholastic and political cir
cles
Senior COmas. Senior Sagasta and the
president of the sea . had - long con-
ference on the subject of the ARRAY, but
all retained the greatest reserve.
Madrid, May 22.-The Duke of Tetu-
an, minister of foreign affairs, has re-
signed as result of the incident in the
senate, when he boxed the ears of Senior
COmas. Senior CanOvas, the premier,
will take the portfolio ad interim. The
liberals of the senate have decided to
until full satisfaction has been accorded
Senior COmaS and the liberal party by
the Duke Of Tetuan.
The Duke of Tetuan and Senator
Comas selected seconds as the prelimi-
nary to a duel
The seconds decided that as the ag-
gressions we're reciprocal, a duel is not
necessary.

CREDIT FONCIER BANKING.
Mr. Dos Passos' Plan is Not a New
Idea.

New York, May 22.-Congressman
John Murray Mitchell of the Eighth
New York district and John r. Dos
Passos talked yesterday of the charges
made by Col J. E. Bloom. chairman of
the committee on organization of the
Democratic Honest Money league that
Mr.. Mitchell had violated confidence
and that Mr.. Dos PassOs was a pla-
giarist. The accusations came of the
publication of Mr. Dos Passos' plan of
credit fOncier banking to relieve farm
ers and others in the west and south
west. Colonel Bloom claimed that he
had a plan, based on the German sys-
tenn of land credit debenture currency
companies, and that Mr.. Dos Passos
''stOle his thunder"
Mr. Mitchell said he had never men,
toned Colonel Blooms plan or even his
name to Mr.. Dos Passos until yester-
day.
Mr.. Dos Passos said in regard to Col
Bloom that he had heard of the gentle
man once, about three weeks ago
through Col. McCoOk of New York, and
he invited him to send Col Bloom to
him, but he has never had the pleasure
of meeting him. Mr.. Dos PassOs added
that he does not claim any originality
for his plan. 1t has been in existence
in France since 1852 and in Germany for
over hundred years. All he is trying
to do is to adapt the European system
to the needs of this country

TILLMANIS ANGRY.
Demands an Investigation of the
South Carolina Dispensary
Law Scandals.

New York, May 22.-Private advices
from South Carolina are that the dis
pensary scandals have reached the grav-
est stage and that sensa tioma1 revela-
lions are probable. Senator Tillman is
the father of the dispensary and as
state officers are charged with all
kinds of fraud the senator has not es-
capped entirely.
The newspapers have bristled recent
ly with personal cOmmunica tiOnS from
Tillmanites and anti Tillmanites, max
ing charges and counter charges of all
kinds of scandal. A few days ago Till
man wrote to the governor, in language
as vigorous and as characteristic as he
could command, referring to-the dispen-
sary scandals,and suggesting an invest
igatiOn. When the letter reached it's
destination the governor concluded that
it was too tart in some particulars to be
published, so he refused to make it pub
lie. There was much curiosity in the
state to know the contents of the sena-
tors letter, but all appeals to the COVER
nor were in vain.
1t is charged that the actual receipts
from the sale of liquor under the state
dispensary system have fallen several
hundred thousand dollars below the es-
Inmates, and the insinuations are made
that certain individuals have realized
large personal profits from their con-
nection with the liquor business in the
state.

BIG TRUST PLANNED.
Big Sash and Door Factories Seek to
Combine and Close Small Shops q

Combine and Close Small Shops. q
Davenport, May 22.-The big manufac-
turers of sash and doors are believed to
be planning a gigantic trust.
The scheme is believed to contemplate
combining the business under one gen.
eral management and the freezing out of
the small manufacturers who decline to
enter the trust. In either event, it. is
said, many factories will be closed and
prices will be advanced.
Representatives of many of the import
ant firms in the business in the Mississ-
ippi valley and the northwest are in
secret session in this city
Notwithstanding the mystery concern
ing the meeting, it is learned that ar
rangements are being discussed for the
organization of all the concerns in this
line of business into one great central
body. After this the plan is to freeze a
lot of little fellows to death by selling
goods so cheaply as to force them to
quit while the larger concerns will be
tempted to come in, if they have not al
ready done so, by offers of large salaries
as employees of the combine, in consdera-
ton of which they are to close their fac
tories. It is said that about one-third OF
the factories in this line of business are
thus to be closed. AS much as 5000 a
year has been offered to some manufac-
turers to come in.
One of the interesting features of the
proposition is the suggestion that $780, 600
a year will be saved in the item of sal
aries of office and travelling men alone.
1t is claimed that the factory saving will
be enormous, and the increase of income,
through better prices, more still.

Now is the season to lay the founda-
ton for future health and strength.
The corner stones of good health are
complete digestion, sound sleep, pure
blood and a perfectly nOurished nerv-
GUS Sytem.
The wonderful success of Paine's eel
cry compound in making people well
and keeping them so, has always been
accounted for by physicians by its ex-
traOrdinary power of nOurishing and
regulating all of these functions.
It is not strange that so many unset
entific remedies do no permanent good
when they disregard this close inter
dependence of the nerves and organs of
digestion and circulation, and attend to
but one deranged part at the expense
of all the rest.
The only possible way that a real
lasting gain in strength and vitality
can come is through purer blood, bet
ter nOurished nerves and tissues, more
refreshing sleep and an economy in the
expenditure of nerve force.
These are the objective points aimed
