ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. 26.-If the horo-
scope of the Mckinley administration by
julius Ericsson, the young astrologer CT
this city, is fulfilled the Presideni-elect
will have four years of excitement. Among
other things Ericsson says:
'If McKinley's inauguration takes place
at 2:45 there will be grave danger of the
country drifting into war. There will be
cold comfort for the Democratic party in
all this. because they will not be able to
win four years hence.
1.-The opponents of Major Mckinley as
sert that the policy of the ad ministration
will be decidedly in favor of the trusts.
corporations, plutocrats and money-gran-
bers. l beg 10 differ with them. The
astrological indications point to the con-
irarv; in fact, there will be general
breaking up of piutocraiic ORGANIZATIONS.
which will necessarily rebound to the BEN
eft of the masses.
THE administration will be distinctly
American, and startling news may be ex-
pected from Washington from March Is
to 20. Martial men and martial measures
will be to the fore.''

LOS ROLOFF ACCUSED OF AIDING THE FILIBUsTER

sail from this country in about ten days,
Consul General Baldasano procured a
warrant for the arrest of Rolotf, in the
case of the Woodhall, which sailed on
an expedition from the United States
in ] anuary, 1895. The insurgent leader,
when arraigned, was held in $500 add1-
tional bail. He deposited a cash
amount to satisfy this new bail demand
and now the Spanish officials have
ordered detectives to watch every
movement he makes, and they say he
will possibly forfeit the $4,000 now in
the hands of the government and steal
out of the country with the expedition.
The fillibusters are said now to be
ready to sail at a moments notice.
The Cubans purchased for the expedi-
tion 2 1000, 900 cartridges. 5000 Mauser
rifles, rapid fire guns, 1000 gun cart
ridges and large quantity of dynamite
and stores and camp material. This
entire expedition was organized in this
city in cigar factory ia the lower part
of the city. A son of Jose Marti, who
was killed at the beginning of the
revolution in 1895, joined the expedition
as an aide to General Rolotf. The
Spanish authorities, aided by the Unit
ed States marshals and private detec-
tives, are watching Roloff and all
suspected of having joined his party.
Cubans say that if the expedition can
be got away the insurgents will be able
to strike telling blow in the field.

The Pope and Mexico.

A letter from the City Of Mexico last
week says it is rumored there that
Pope Leo, who has recently displayed
marked sympathy with republican iu-
stitutions in France, has indirectly
made known his decided wish that the
republic of Mexico shall receive the
cordial support of the Catholic clergy,
recognizing that the Mexican people
are sincerely attached to their form OF
government and that they will not toll
crate any intrigues looking to the re
vival OF the disastrous imperial expert
ments here. There is nOticeably bet
ter sentiment on the part of the clergy
toward the government, and although
the reform laws will remain unaltered
and the constitution of 1857, which de.
clares for the separation of the church
and state will not be changed, a modus
vivendi has apparently been arrived al
between the church and state which
will insure immunity of the country
from any possible revival of the faction
al conflict based on religious questions.
The presidents tolerant yet firm pol
icy toward the church is now acquiesed
in by all intelligent Catholics, who
have rallied around his administration

Painless Death for Criminals.

A bill prepared by a respons IDLE
committee Of physicians, will be in
PRODUCED at the coming session of tn e
Pennsylvania legislature to abolish
hanging and provide that the death
penalty be inflicted by asphyxiation
The condemned murderer will in flu
ture be killed by gas if this bill be-
comes law.
DIR. J. V. Chessown, who is chairman
of the committee of the Allegheny
Medical society, says: 1--WE have
considered every method in use, and
have decided in favor of gas as the
most practical and most humane.
There are about fifteen odorless
gases that would answer and bring
speedy and painless death. The con.
demned would be placed in cell that
differed in no way in appearance from
any other cell. The only difference a.
all would be in having a curtain tina,
could be lowered over the front with
out noise to make the cell air tight
Then valve would be turned that in a
few minutes would fill the cell with
gas.
The few preparations would be made
while the condemned man was sleeping
They would be witnessed by certain
mum her of persons notified quietly be
forehand. The valve would be turned
by the sheriff or warden and the con-
demned would pass from sleep to death

Woman have made history for the
house of Chimay in the past, and the
last princess has not failed to contri-
butte her quota to the annals, however
unpalata BILE it may be. What is there
in store for this uncomfortable woman
in Hungary, the land Of the gypsies?
1t is true that there she will have
music in plenty, but if all the composers
of Europe failed to have less effect
upon her whimsical nature than the
strolling minstrel Rigo, surely it is not
music that will make the princess con-
tented with her new lot. 1t is not
music which holds the key to her
character. 1t is the spirit of adventure
and caprice. Even now she is begin
ming to chafe under the surroundings.
She has written to friends in Brussels
that she is the most miserable woman
alive Is the fancied love disappearing?
The mansion of the family the princess
deserted is in the little city of Chimay,
in the rich country of southern Belgium,

FillibuSterS Ready.
The New York Herald saws:

L
General Carlos Roloff, secretary OF
war for the insurgent Cuban provision
al government, has just completed the
organization of one of the largest mill
tary expeditions ever prepared in this
country for the aid of the Cuban re
volutionists The disclosure of Roloff's
plans led to his arrest again.
Senior Baldasano, the Spanish consul
general in this city, was notified a
week ago that Rolotf was organizing
his expedition. Great efforts were
made to secure some evidence that
would prove that RoIoff intended
to leave the country, but such evidence
could not be procured. 1t was learned
that the Cubans have purchased larg-
err quantity of arms and munitions of
war within the last three weeks than
ever before in the history of Cuban
warfare, but nothing further could be
learned by the Spanish officials con-
corning this war material except that
it was intended for the insurgent ar
my.
Roloff was under 50, 800 bail to appear
for trial on a charge of participation
in the Laurada fillibustering expedi-
ton. He has furnished $500 in cash,
which the government holds. The
case against ROloff, however, would not
be tried until the middle of March. AS
the contemplated expedition was to

Cuban Steamer Gets Away.

A special to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune from Jacksonville, Fla.
says:
Soon after the landing of the steam
ship Delaware the steam launch Chere
Annie, formerly the Puzzle. of New
York, lying half a mile above the
cutter Colfax, suddenly started out OF
her dock, running downspast the cutter
with all steam up. She appeared as il
moving up to the dock where the
Three Friends and the Dauntless were
tied. Instantly the cutters men were
piped to quarters, the anchors shipped
and in a'moment the smOkestacks were
belching smoke as she started in pur
suit.
The crowds at the bank cheered the
Chere Annie as she sped along whist
ling defiance to her pursuer. After
following the little launch for a mile
down the river the cutter stopped
swung around and came back to anchor
here amid the shouts of the people or
shore.
