ENGLAND SCHEMING
To Get Possession of the NicarauRua
Canal by the ''Arbitration
Treaty."
New York Clergy Discuss the Serious Situa-
ton of the Unemployed.-Idaho's
New Senator Farmer.

Peoples Press Bureau, St. Louis,
Feb. S.-Some light is being thrown
on the much talked Of arbitration
by England will insure her control, if
not absolute ownership, of the Nicar-
augua Canal which has been coveted
by her singularly acquisitive sons
since the inception of that great plan.
The Bradley-Martin mask ball, the
unprecedented number of the unem-
ployed and their terrible sufferings
during the severe weather. have pre-
cipitated serious discussion among
the leading ministers of New York
city. Those who have dared to tell
their wealthy flock that critical con-
ditiOn exists, owing to the unequal
distribution of wealth, will doubtless
have to come west soon for more
sympathetic audience. Some OF these
men have taken a truly Christian
stand on this matter. One Rev.(?)
Thomas Dixon (whom we regret to
thus much advertise) said, "If l owned
$1,000,O0O and the public should at
tempt to dictate to me how should
spend it, 1should say as did a certain
mem ber of the Vanderbilt family, The
people be damned.'" Straws show the
trend of the wind and the fact that the
revelers at this grand debauch are to
dress in the style that ante-dated the
French revolution, that the decora-
tiOnS and dances are to be in accord,
is not without meaning to thoughtful
minds. At this juncture of our his
tory, political and social events are so
closely interviewer that it is impossi-
BILE to Seperate them. Populist teach
ings have made politics more matter
Of social science and less matter Of
office holding.
Thatcher, the Populist candidate for
United States Senator in Utah, has
not yet been elected, but his chances
are good.
Hetfelt, Populist, was elected in
Idaho, over Dubois. He is farmer,
native of St. Louis. and lived for many
years in Kansas He is capable, we'll
balanced man and much is expected
of him.
The Republican legislature of Illi-
nois returning vote of thanks to the
Populist legislature of Nebraska for
aid extended the starving poor of Chi
cagO, is the solitary instance of an ex-
change of amenities between the two
elements.
Postmaster Heising of Chicago, Dem
ocrat. is an ardent advocate Of the
postal savings bank.
The following is an excerpt from
the Illustrated American, notorious
gold bug organ: 1.-THE essential prin-
cipals Of Populism were never more
vigorous. They are the decisive issues
in the mighty struggle for which we
are now crystalizing the opposing

Joan was outside.
A faithful few died around her, but
she was captured and led away.
Not one attempt did the brave gov
ernor make to save the grandest hero
inc that ever beathed the divine
breath Of life.
The town was full of French SOL
diers; there was absolutely no danger
that the small squad chasing Joan
could capture it. Had they come in
at the open gate, along with Joan, they
would have been pOwerleSS in the
midst of enemies, shut off from the
succor of friends.
1t was horrible to suspect that the
governor was tired of female dicta-
tation" and was willing for Joan to be
taken.
The poor child was led away to cap
tivity and chains.
For more than year she lived, suf-
fering every day.
Brave? All. greatly and divinely
brave, because 1t was never possible
to wiring from her lips one word of
complaint against the graceless
wretch she had enthroned; and who
now dallied with lewd women, i'd
ling away the time in the luxuries of
the wealth which she had brought
him, and who yet never by word or let
ter or act tried to save her
Dead these five centuries are those
two, the maid and the king; but even
now one shudders to think that the
same God made them both.
The immediate captors of Joan were
Bergundians, allies Of the English.
The man who took her carried her
to his master, noble called the Bas-
tard OF Vendome.
This noble sold her to his master,
another noble named John of Luxem-
berg.
This noble sold her to the English
for $1,000.
Great was the Joy Of the English.
Bells were rung in all the churches;
songs Of thanksgiving were sung, and
the English and Bergundian chiefs all
fiOcked to see her, more joyful than
il they had taken 500 fighting men,"
Where were her friends? Was there
no brave knight In all France to couch
lance, uplift banner. and cry ''To the
Rescue?"
Where was the king? Slipping wine
amid painted women.
Where we're the people--the people
whom she had loved and had deliv-
cred?

There are dignitaries of the church
in full canOncials; there are princes of
the state in all the splendor of velvet
and gold. There is Charles, standing
below the altar waiting to be crowned.
There is Joan by his side-sacred ban
ner in hand. The Archbishop pours
consecrated oil upon Charles head,
and as the crown is placed, peal Of
trumpets rings out clear and strong
Then as the multitude is shouting
itself hoarse Joan kneels at the feet
Of the king and says:

And as she spoke, she wept, and all
those who were in the church wept
with her.
Her father was present-an honored
guest OF the city.
Riding through the streets after the
coronation, side by side with the king,
cheered joyously upon all sides, she

king who hated her for her glory, and
for her influence. They now took
every means to discredit her, Plans

Plans which she disproved were ac-

military movements which she did

FOR AN ACT OF PIRACY.

District Attorney Instructed to Proceed
Against the Three Friends.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. 3.-Attorney Gen.
eral Harmon has given instructions to
the United States attorney at Jackson
vile, Fla, to at once proceed against
the alleged filibuster Three Friends
under section 1927 revised statutes, for
engaging in an act Of piracy. The ac-
tion is taken in view Of the receut de-
cision Of Judge Locke Of Jacksonville,
which held in effect that the Cuban in.
surgents were not people, state, dis
trict or colony, within the meaning Of
section 62l6 revised statutes, under
which the libel was brought. In other
words the expedition in which she was
engaged was not political one. The
attorney general has decided to give
Judge Locke another opportunity of
deciding just what the character of the
Three Friends expedition was. No &C.
ton is now contemplated against the
officers and crew Of the vessel.

INSULTED CONSUL BARKER.

Spanish OHcials Open aud Retain Inn
portant Dispatches.
KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. 3.-Consul
Walter P. Barker, United States repre-
sentative in Saguey La Grande, Cuba, is
indignant over an insult offered to him
by the Spanish authorities of that place
and it is understood he has written q
bitter complaint to Secretary of State
Olney. According to advices received
here, the consul was expecting several
dispatches from the department in ref
erence to certain important matters re-
garding the relations of Spain and the
United States. He learned that the
dispatches had been forwarded. and
when they did not arrive in due course
he made inquiry. He learned that the
dispatches had been seized, opened and
read by the Spanish officials. Consul
Barker was very indignant and called
upon the commandant for the dis
patches, but that official
Refused to Give Them Up.
The Spaniards kept the dispatches
nearly q week, and treated Consul
Barker's complaints with contempt.
Finally, after the documents had been
copied. the Spaniards turned them over
to the consul. The latter, in the mean.
while had written strong letter to
Secretary Olney recounting the circum.
stances.
Captain General Weyler heard of the
matter and ordered the Saguey La
Grande authorities to apologize to
Barker, which they did, but the angry
consul would not accept the apology
and said he had referred the matter to
his government. This is the first known
case where the Spanish officials have
opened state department letters, but
Americans in Havana believe that it
has been done ever since the war began.
1t is stated ON the authority of one
close to Consul General Lee, that his
mail has been frequently tampered

It was the quietest new year the oldest

State House at Harrisburg, Pa,
Entirely Consumed by

The Flames Broke Out in the
Senate Wing and Spread
Rapid4J,
So That Hardly Anything Was
Saved -Menominee School
Buildings Burn.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Feb. 3.-Fire broke
out at p. m. in the senate wing Of the
state capitol, and at l 80 the building
seemed to be doomed, as the fire de.
partment was un liable to control the
flames. The fire originated in the
rooms Of Lieutenant Governor Walter
Lyon, over the senate chamber. It is
supposed to have been started by an
electric wire. The fire burned for sew
eral minutes before it was discovered.
1t made such headway that but little
could be saved in the costly apart
ments Of the lieutenant governor.
Across the hall were the rooms of the
superintendent of public instruction,
Schaefer, who was alone in his Office
when the fire was discovered. He did
all he could to check the flames, but it
was not in his power. All he saved
were the appropriation books. Thou
sands of dollars worth of records were
lost.
The flames had eaten their way
through the senate roof before the fire
department arrived. Part Of the roof
tumbled in before the water was
started. Then the streams were so
/. ssz.allsh the Ore laughed at the play
and burned ON. Soon the great dome
was a mass Of flames. This burned like
shavings. The fire quickly commune
Gated to the house side, and began eat
ing its way along the roof. The house
was in session when the fire was dis
covered, and it quickly adjourned
The members saw the probabilities Of
the fire spreading and the began to save
their belongings. The smoke soon
drove them from the building and little
was gotten out.
The fire will be confined to the capi-
toll building. The entire structure is
now in flames in the interior. Both
roofs have fallen in, and soon the great
pillars at the main entrance will fall.
The walls are cracking and crumbling.
The loss is placed at 81 200, 900; in.
surance $4O0,OO The loss of valuable
records is great. They can never be
replaced.
