Develops.

able Action of Congress Will

tenSive Than Even Officials
Believed.

MADRID. Nov. l8.-The government
will not dissolve parliament nor fix a
date for the elections and the meeting
of the new cortes until Premier Sa.
gasta can definitely. in December, form
an opinion on the attitude of the Amer.
ican congress toward Spain, and until
President McKinley's message and the
contemplated note on the question of
flibustering expeditions enable him to
see the drift of McKinley's policy. The
government and even leaders Of the op-
position deem it inadvisable to risk
being without parliament in case
complications arise in its relations with
the United States. Should the attitude
of the American congress and president
be reassuring, Premier Sagasta will
dissolve the cortes in December and
appoint the elections for February, thus
bringing the meeting of the new cortes
early in March. It is stated that the
Spanish government will provide the
state department at Washington with
the text of the colonial reforms and full
details Of their working, with all the
data required to give President McKin-
ley an insight into the new policy be-
fore drafting his message. The Spanish
ministers and Minister Woodford seem
to get on very well together.

BAPTISM NOT REQUISITE.

Decided Change Of Sentiment Among the
Baptist Ministers a. to Communion.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-"Is baptism q
Prerequisite to the Lords Supper" was
the topic discussed at the 18th annual
meeting of the Baptist conference now
being held in this city. The position
laken by DR.. o. P. Clifford of Buffalo,
DR.. R. H. Conwell of Philadelphia, two
Of the most eminent divines in the de.
nomination, indicate decided change
of sentiment among the Baptists of the
close communion. Never, perhaps. in
the history of the Baptist denomination
has SO important a doctrine been
stricken down on such short notice. Of
the dozen or more speakers but two
favored the continuance of the close
communion custom of the church.

The KETCHAM PLOT THICKENS

Hint That II May Have Been Her Butler
Who Married Mrs. Wallace.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Relatives of the
late John B. Ketcham will contest his
will, if such an instrument is in exist.
ence, on the ground that he was not
only of unsound mind at the time he
may have signed it, but for ten months
previous. ketcham's two brothers and
two sisters will also deny that their
brother was legally married to Minnie
Wallace Walkup. They will claim that
he was entirely incapable of making
any kind OF contract at the time of
the alleged marriage, or indeed for
nearly a year previous.
Mrs. Walkup's butler. Joe Keller, has
suddenly become a very important fac
tor i'll the pending litigation. Keller.
according to his story, accompanied
John Ketcham and Mrs. Walkup to
Milwaukee on Sept. 70, and was wit
ness to the ceremony which made them
man and wife. Rev. Mr.. Roberts Of
Milwaukee, who performed the cere-
mony, opens up rather startling possi-
bilities by saying, when shown photo
graph Of Keller, that the picture much
more resembled the man whom he mar.
ried to Mrs. Walkup than did the pic.
ture of John B. Ketcham.
The Butler Disappears.
To add to the sensation caused by the
statement of the Milwaukee minister,
the butler, Keller, has disappeared.
Keller left the Thirty.fifth street police
station Tuesday night about 10 o'clock
litter having answered numerous ques.
tions with what the police claim were
evasive replies, with permission to re.
turn to the Ketcham house at 342l In
diana avenue. He did not return to
his mistress house, however, and in
quiry by the different police stations de-
veloped the fact that he had not been
seen since his departure from the
Thirty.fifth street station. The police
believe that Keller, implicitly trusted
as he was by his mistress, has
left the city in order that no words of
his may involve her in further trouble.
