BIMETALLISM.
THE LEAGUE IN ENGLAND MEETS
IN ANNUAL SESSION.
A Large Attendance, Including Many
Delegates From Labor
Organizations.

MANCHESTER (England), June 3
The annual meeting of the Bimetallic
League opened here to-day.
There was large attendance, includ-
ing over fifty delegates from labor as
sociations.
The Lord Mayor of Manchester pre-
sided and welcomed the delegates. Let
ters of regret were read from Lord An
derham, head of the firm of Anthony,
Gibbs & Sons, a director of the Bank of
England; the First Lord of the Treas
ury. A. j. Balfour; the President of the
Local Government Board, Henry Chap
lin; the Duke of Fife, the Marquis of
Lorne and others.
The annual report of the league ex-
pressed the deepest regret at the death
of General Francis A Walker of Bos-
ton, who was classed as lone of the
greatest economic authorities of the
century"
Continuing, the report said the most
important event of the year was the
election of the President in the United
States-when Bryan polled $4,000
votes on the platform of national BIZ
metallism, and Mckinley polled 7,000,-
OOO VOTES on d. pldtIOT1n pleOSlfS MN u
promote international bimetallism.
The report then referred to the sup
port alleged to have been given to in
ternational bimetallism by NJ. Meline,
the French Premier, in the Chamber of
Deputies, and touched upon the mis-
sion to Europe of Senator Edward O.
Wolcott of Colorado, which was so
successful that it led to the appointment
of the special mission now in France
to which it is earnestly hoped thorough
cooperation will be accorded by the
leading nations so that an international
agreement will be concluded at an early
date"
The report concludes: while the
necessity for international bimetallism
was never greater than at present, the
council can with confidence affirm that
never since 1873 have the prospects been
so hopeful. In view of the serious at
tempt of making secure a settlement on
an international basis, it earnestly calls
on all our friends of monetary reform
to redouble their efforts during the COM
ing year"

STEAMER VALENCIA
Fired Upon by Spanish Cruiser Off
the Cuban Coast.

HAVANA (via Key Vest, June 3
The Ward Line steamer Valencia,
which has arrived at Cienfuegos, re-
ports an exciting experience while off
Guantanamo Bay. The Spanish
cruiser Reina Mercedes signaled to the
Valencia to display her colors. AS the
Valencia did not Immediately comply,
the Riena Mercedes fired a blank shot,
which was followed almost Immediate
ly by solid shot, falling out of range
The Valencia then displayed her colors.
1t is understood that the United States
Vice-Consul at Santiago de Cuba has
entered formal protest against the
act of the cruiser. Captain Quesada
left yesterday by the steamer Mexico
to investigate the affair, which has as
sumed serious aspects.

of Naples states that anthrax bacilli
flourish abundantly in milk. Professor

fresh milk it seems that diphtheria ba-

material for growth and multiplication.
In sterilzed milk, however, their growth
was less abundant. Schottelius con-

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Frenchman Meets With Death in
San Diego County.

SAN DIEGO, June John Ranuis, a
Frenchman about 40 years old, who had
been employed by Mr. Forbut in herd
ing sheep a few miles north of this city,
was found dead this morning by his
employer near the tent formerly occu-
pied by Ranguis at the mouth of a little
canyon, one and half miles east of the
Escondido road, and ten miles from San
Diego.
An investigation showed a bullet
wound in the left side. From the loca-
ton of the wound in the body and the
position of the rifle, it appeared that
Ranguis had hidden the rifle in the
brush, and upon going after it had pulled
it toward him, with fatal result.
The deceased came to San Diego Coun-
ty about a month ago from Los Angeles,
where he had a sister. Another sister,
Mrs. F. Borel, lives at Olive, Orange
County.

Marrying rlan to Reform Him.

''The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness of many a young
girls life" writes Evangelist Dwight L.
Moody, in the Ladies Home Journal"
lis the common delusion that a woman
can best reform man by marrying
him. 1t is a mystery to me how peo-
pie can be SO blinded to the hundreds
of cases in every community where tot
tering homes have fallen and innocent
lives have been wrecked, because some
young girl has persisted in marrying a
scoundrel in the hope of saving him.
have never known such a union, and
have seen hundreds of them, result in
anything but sadness and disaster. Let
no young girl think that she may be
able to accomplish what loving moth
er or sympathetic sisters have been un-
able to do. Before there is any con-
tract of marriage there should be con-
vincing proof that there has been real
and thorough regeneration"

SPANS MINISTRY.
The Queen Regent Accepts the Res
iguation of the Cabinet.

LONDON. June 3.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says:
The Queen Regent has accepted the
resignation of the Cabinet of Senior
Canovas Del Castillo. 1t has caused
profound sensation. Before finally TAX
ing this step, her majesty begged Senior
Canovas to remain in office until to-
morrow in order that she might have
another opportunity to consider the
matter in council, but this only meant
that the resignation would be accepted
Senior Canovas rendered his resigna
ton because he could not again under
take to re-establish relations with the
Liberals. He preferred to leave the
crown full of liberty to decide as to
the best solution. Both houses of the
Cortes voted without debate the finan
cial supplies necessary to enable. the
Cortes to adjourn sine die, and granted
authority for the issue of treasury
bonds and the contraction of loans
guaranteed by the Spanish treasury to
cover the expenses of the wars in Cuba
and the Philippine Islands, with spec
ial lien on the revenues of Spain for
the Cuban war loan. The Queen Re-
gent signed the decree suspending the
sittings, whereupon Senior Canovas i'm
mediately rendered his resignation.
NEW YORK, June IA dispatch to
the World" from Madrid says: The
crisis is extremely grave. The ex-
element in political and financial cir
cles is intense. Never since the death
of Alfonso XIII. in 1885 has Queen
Christina found herself in so difficult a
position. One of two things she must
do, she must keep Senior Canovas as
Premier with his Conservative Cabinet
intact or modified, and keep General
Weyler in Cuba, to persevere in his po-
litical policy with the ample means re-
Gently voted by the Cortes, or she may
call on Senior Sagasta to form a Lib
eral Cabinet, in which Senior Moret
probably would be Minister of Foreign
Affairs, with opportunity to follow his
well-known inclination to come to an
understanding with the United States
Senior Madra. the great home ruler,
Minister for the Colonies; Marshal Lo-
PEI Dominguez, War Minister; Spain's
best financier, Senior Gamazo, Minister
of Finance, and which Cabinet proba-
bly, would send Marshal Campos to
Cuba with full power to conciliate the
insurgents and the loyalists by estab-
fishing more radical home rule than
Senior Canovas contemplated, and thus
disarm the United States.
The Queen can only pursue the lat
ter course after duly considering all the
prospects, because it would be virtually
stalking everything on the success of
the Liberal Government and policy.
The Liberals seem confident, the Con-
servatives are downcast. In the mill
tary and political clubs, the majority
believe that the Queen will decide to
have Liberal Government
The general impression throughout
the city tonight is that Senior Sagasta
is likely to succeed Senior Canovas as
Prime Minister, as the latter could
hardly revise the colonial policy or re-
call Weyler.

Joe P. Taggart, respondent; John d.

versed.
A cross examination cannot go beyond
the chief subject matter of the evidence
in chief, but should be allowed a very
free range within it. Where the de-
PENDANT on cross examination simply
aims to disprove by the witness the very
cause the witness himself has made, the
rule excluding such evidence until de-
PENDANT opens his case has no applica-
ton.
A witness may be asked any question
upon cross eXamination which tends TO
test his accuracy, veracity or credibility,
and the court should be especially lib
eral where the witness is a party to the
suit.
Every error is prima facie an injury
to the party against whom it is made,
and it rests with the other party clearly
to show, not that probably no hurt was
done, but that none could have been or
was done by the error.
