ALL OVER THE WORLD
THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
Speech In House Of Commons stirs Up
France and Russia,

Speech In House Of Comnons stirs Up
France and Russia.
LONDON, Feb. 0.-Tn the house OF
commons few days ago Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, speaking relative to the
appropriation of e7os,sos for the
expenses of the English expedition up
the Nile to Dongola, said that England
would make further advances. In
voluntarily retiring from Egypt,
France had thrown the whole respon-
sibility for the safety Of Egypt upon
Great Britain. Great Britain might
fairly demand free hand in the
performance of her responsibilities.
She believed she was right and would
not be run out by any difficulties such
as a refusal of money by the Egyptian
mixed court of appeals. The words
of the chancellor have created a sen.
sation in Paris, the French newspapers
declaring that the speech is direct
challenge to France, who must reply
by action. A Russian newspaper
asserts that 1.-The speech has furnished
the opportunity Russia and France
have so long foreseen, when together
they can ask for a definite period
when England will leave Egypt.
And" adds the writer, ''you may rest
assured Russia's pressure will be more
than moral"

Greece's Insistencc on Union May Mean
European War.
ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 9.-The an
nouncement that Prince George,
second son of the king of Greece, will
command the torpedo feet now IN
readiness to start for Crete to join the
Greek squadron, has added strength
to the rumors that Greece will insist
upon the union with Crete. 1t Is a
well known fact that Christians are
now in possession of the whole island,
with the exception of Heraklion and
Petimo, only awaiting the signal from
Greece to proclaim union with that
country. The present uprising in
Crete is looked upon by many states
men in this country as move on the
part of the sultan of Turkey to draw
the attention of England, France and
Russia away from Constantinople.

Gazette pu blishes royal decree com.

Greece and ordering the immediate
dispatch of additional ships to Crete.
LONDON. Feb. 10.--A dispatch from
Canca says the commanders Of the

the epileptic symptoms which marked

These symptoms, taken in connection
with the fears of the result of the
approaching operation by which it is
hoped to remove the bony protubcr-

it is asserted, produced feelings of
morbid melancholy in the Russian
monarch.
Paris dispatch: Senator Wolcott had
an interview with Premier Meline. It
is learned on authority that Wolcott's
interviews so far have been without
the result hoped. That with Presi-
dent Faure was short and formal.
Loubet, president of the senate, is en-
!. thusiastic on the subject Of bimetal.
lism. but Meline is very guarded. He
is reported to have said that however
favorable France might be to bimet-
allism, nothing could be done without
the consent of England and Germany.
In official quarters little confidence is
felt in the success of Wolcotts mis-
sion, though he seems sanguine that
England will participate in the move
ment.
An Athens dispatch gives details Of
the troubles between Christians and
Mohammcdans on the island of Crete.
1t is announced that 1900 Christians
have surrounded the seaport town of
Canea, and that they have already
burned the Mussulman village of
Taratzi in revenge for the burning Of
the town of Galata. Altogether six
villages are reported to have been
destroyed by fire at the hands of the
Mohammedans and Christians, and a
rumor has been widely circulated TO
the effect that massacre of Christians
has occurred at Galata. The Moham.
medsns made an attempt to burn the
telegraph station at Suda. Troops
were landed from the English and
Italian warships, who aided in ex.
tinRuishing the flames.

rom Council Bluffs, Iowa, come.

From Council Bluffs, Iowa. comes a
story that illustrates several phases of
human nature. In that city the other
day a man who is very poor and who
is likely to remain SO, owing to the
fact that an accident has deprived him
of both his. arms, found large roll Of
greenbacks. The money lay in the gut
ter and the finder could almost hear it
beg him to pick it up. This, on ac-
count OF his misfortune, he could not
do. So he quietly kicked the treasure
into the shadow of building and
tried to think out safe method Of
transferring it to his lamentably
empty pocket. At last small boot
black sauntered by, and the man con-
cluded to take chances. With a hne
:pretense Of having just dropped the
bills. the man grufhy ordered the
to assist him. The boy COM
pretended the situation a a giSnce,
seized the little fortune, took to his
heels. and, easily distancing his angry
nursuer. vanished permanently from
the scene.

GOMEZ scoRNs WEYLER.
Cuban Leader Puts No Faith IN IN
Promises of the General.

Promises of the General
HAVANA, Feb. 9.--General Wcyler's
attempt to arrange for a secret inter-
view with Gomez in Santa Clara over
the question Of Cuban reforms mas
proved O complete fizzle.|lt is learnca
that Marcus Garcia resigned the COM
mission delegated to him at the meet
ing in the palace last week because nc
learned that General Gomez had
threatened to hang him as a traitor II
he caught him. Garcia went TO Sanct'
Spiritus but no farther. 1t is sup
posed he communicated with Cen
eral Gomez by letter or special
messenger, and considered discretion
the better part of valor. General
Gomez, sent word, it is said, that he
would not confer with General Weyler
npon any subject whatever. and re-
fused to meet him under any circum'
stances. While the rebel leader
doubted the sincerity of the Spanish
government, and declared that the
proposed reforms would not be pro.
mulgatcd in good faith, he expressed a
willingness to meet any accredited
agent or the government, except Gen
cral Weylcr, for the purpose of giving
the insurgent view of the question.
General Gomez refusal to deal with
General Weylcr has caused intense
excitement in official and speculative
circles. The reforms are acceptable
on their face to the rcformists and
autcnomists but the leaders know it
is impossible to carry them ont at We
present time.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Feb. u.-An
expedition landed in the southern
part OF Pinar del Rio province last
week and brought on a fight between
the Spanish coast guard and Cuban
escort under Capt. Petoris. The
Spaniards los eighteen men, the
Cubans seven Fifteen men of the
Spanish patrol were killed in Havana
outskirts on the southwest side.
While they were passing a large stone
building it was blown up and twenty
men were buried under its ruins. lti is
suspected to be the beginning OF the
''reign of terror promised by Lieut..
Col. Hernandez when he made his last
raid in Havana.
KEY WEST. Fla, Feb. ct is ru-
morcd in Havana that General Weylcr,
who is in the province of Santa Clara
at the head of his troops, will return
to Havana soon, because the frequent
raids made into Havana province have
alarmed him. 1t is no secret in Ha-
vana that the Spanish officials are I'M
easy over the appearance OF General
Rivera in that province, and the posi-
bility of his striking a blow at the
capital itself, has greatly alarmed
them all. Marquis Ahumada has con-
been in close touch with
Weyler General Rivera had Il skir-
mish with troop Of cavalry fifty
miles northwest of Havana and de-
featcd the Spaniards. No details have
been allowed to escape, and the CEN
scrs,iip has been increased the past
fortnight,

THE NEWS IN IOWA
CRIME At WALFoRD.

CEDAR Rapids, Feb. b.-The fire ut
Wslford has caused q very mystifying
condition of affairs. Both Grocer
Novak ana Farmer Murray are missing
and It was certain their bodies were il
the ruins. The day before the fire Q
load of charcoal was placed in the
cellar beneath where Novak slept, and
this continues to burn despite efforts
to quench the FIRE. One body has been
recovered and while the ruins have
been completely overhauled the other
is missing. 1t is possible the other
was completely destroyed. The body
is claimed by the relatives of both
Novak and Murray. Novak carried
S3s, 900 life insurance and the com.
panies decline to pay. There is en-
phasized talk of foul play.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Feb. 6.--The coro-
uer's jury has decided that the body
found in the ruins of the FIRE at Wal
ford is that of Frank Murray and has
ordered it turned over to his father.
The belief is unavoidable that he was
murdered and that an axe was used to
crush his skull. Suspicion surrounds
Novak, who was known to be in a bad
way financially, and IL was certain
that he would be compelled to defa ult
on part Of his life insurance at the
time of the next payment.
VlNToN, Feb. 9.-Frank Novak, the
supposed murderer of Edward Muir
ray, was seen on the morning OF the
ard at q farm house fourteen miles
from Walford.. near Homestead. He
had gun with him and diamond
