FEDERAL OR STATE COURT.
Insurance Company Will Test
Their Jurisdiction.

Topeka, Kans., Oct. 15.-ln Or
der to test in the court of last re-
sort the right of a Federal judge
to interfere in the execution OF
the laws of a sovereign state,
Webb McNall, superintendent of
insurance, has exposed himself to
the wrath of Federal Judge Will
liams and takes the chances of I'M
|prisonment for contempt by a de-
liberate violation of the courts
order. Judge Williams, at Wich-
| tia, recently issued an order to
force Commissioner McNall to is
sue to the Mutual Life insurance
company, of New York, a license
to operate in Kansas, on payment
of the usual fee. Yesterday John
E. Lord, general agent of the
company, rendered the fee and de-
manded the license. Mr.. McNali
ANNOUNCED his purpose to disre-
gard Judge Williams order and
rely upon the Supreme court of
the United States for writ of
Ihabeas corpus in case of i'm
prisonment for contempt.
The issue between the state and
the Federal judiciary is now com
plete, and a fight is on that will
result in settling once and for all
the relative authority of the con-
|testants. ~

MISSING FROM HOME.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 10
A dispatch has been received
from New York, to the effect that
Williams S. Andrews, an eX-
Tammany leader, has been missing
from his home for over six days.
The dispatch created consider
able surprise in Bohemian circles
in this city, as for many evenings
for the past few weeks he has
been the center of a convivial
group at the local press club,
to which institution he was intro,
duced by a prominent member.
About eight days ago he sudden
ly ceased his visits to the club,
and as he had minated his de-
termination to go to New York it
was naturally supposed that he
had carried out that intention.

these objections came from per-
sons high in authority and in a
position to dictate terms to Spain.
The combined weight of conser.
vative influence in Spain which
embraced the bulk of the holders
of Spanish bonds whose interest
would be cut in two, immediate
ly answered this proposition with
the suggestion that it would far
better to stop all war expenses
than to adopt such radical
course. In fact, many of the
conservatives said it would be
better to gain anything in the
way of indemnity which Spain
could obtain by the sacrifice of
sovereignty and accepting an Of
fer to grant liberty TO Cuba, if il
could be brought about in a way
that would not be dishonorable
to Spain. The queen yielded to
this and the result was the resig-
nation of the old cabinet and the
calling upon Sagasta to form a
thew one.

GUATEMALAN REBELLION.
Breaks Out With Icreased Force
In The East.

New York, Oct. ia dispatch
to the Herald from San Jose de
Guatemala, says:
The outbreak in the eastern de-
departments, which it was at first
thought, would be speedily sup
pressed, proves to be one of far
more serious nature than the one
just put down in the west, head
ed by Gen. Prospero Morales,
Daniel Fuentos Barrios and Man
uel Sanchez, who was killed, the
other leaders, after their flight
from Quezaltenango, went toward
the border, where it is reported
they disbanded their men.
1t is not known what was done
with the large quantity of arms
and munitions of war they car
ried with them. 1t is confidently
believed, however, by the rebel
sympathizers, that the leaders
will reOrganize their men and
make a fresh effort against Bar
rios.
In the meanwhile Col. Jose
Leon Castillo, Gen. Pedro Barril.
las, and Col. Jose Montufar, hold
the principal towns in the east,
Jutiapa, Jalapa, Zazafa-cutting
off all government connection
with the Atlantic seaboard. Mail
for the United States, dispatched
on Sunday to 60 by Livingston,
was returned, the rebels being in
possession of a portion of the
northern railway leading to that
port.
The rebels, it is reported, are
camped at Sabineta, fourteen lea
CUES from the capital.
Sixteen carloads of troops that
arrived in Guatemala from QueZ-
altenangO, were sent to reinforce
Generals Solares and ToledO's di-
visions. Gen. Mendizabal re-
turns within a few days with all
available men from the east and
will go Immediately to the west.
Gen. SOlares, the minister of
war of Guatemala, is reported
to have been wounded in a recent
engagement at La Avenido del
GolfO.
The eastern approach to the
city of Guatemala is being forti-
fed. President Barrios saws he
will be able to bring the rebel.
lion to an end within ten days.

says:
Should the city authorities in
Chicago undertake to stop the car
rying of mails on the street cars,
they may find themselves in con.
fict with the entire power of the
United States and their police
may be confronted with soldiers.
No official information has reach
ed the postoffice department re-
|garding the decision of the cOrpo-
ration counsel of Chicago that the
carrying of mails was a violation
of the street car charters, but the
officials are very much interest
ed in the case and are awaiting
developments. No statement
will be made as to what the ac-
ton of the department will be un.
til some action is taken by the
Chicago officials in the direction
OF carrying out the opinion of the
corporation counsel, but the dis
position is to deliver the mails to
the street railway companies and
protect them in transit just as
long as the railways are willing
to take them.
The department will deal only
with the street railway companies
with which it has contracts. 1t
is in no way concerned with any
question that may arise between
the companies and the city.
There is no question as to the
right of the government to send
mails over any highway in the
United States, and while it can
not compel any transportation
company to carry the mails, there
is authority for the protection Of
any company which may under
take to transport them. The de.
partment is not at all concerned
as to the question as to whether
the street railway companies arc
liable to forfeit their charters by
the transportation of the mails.
That is a question between the
companies and the city. The pos
tai officials will not be disposed to
assist the Chicago corporations in
using the mails to break down a
strike among their employees and
further that it may be necessary
to carry on the regular business
of the department.
While it is said the course of
the department will depend large
ly upon circumstances in any case
that may arise, it is the general
impression among officials that
the department will in no way
cOuntenance the putting of mails
on every car or train of cars and
claiming protection for it as
mail train. The trains which reg
ularly cary mails will probably be
all that will receive any protec-
ton from the United States.

New York, Oct. 15.-The
World publishes the following,
based on high authority, which,
it claims, is substantially the in
structiOns issued by President
Mckinley to Minister WOOdford
to the Spanish queen:
None but the most kindly re-
lations exist between the present
administration and Spain, and so
far as lies in the power of the
administration, they will con-
tinue. The beligerency resOlu-
ton which passed the senate at
the last session of Congress mere.
ly bore evidence of the tremen-
dous popular feeling throughout
the country in favor of Cuba.
The House, to be secure, voted
down the resolutions passed by
a view to postponing the issue
and not doing anything for the
moment that could be construed
las, hostile 70 Spain.
The House is strongly in SYM
pathy with Cuba. This feeling of
sympathy throughout the United
States will undoubtedly take
shape as soon as Congress con-
venes and it will be necessary for
the president to communicate
to Congress such recommends
tons as he deems best to make
in regard to Cuban affairs. I'm
der these circumstances the gov
eminent of the United States
rendered its best offices to medi.
ate so as to bring war to an end
on such terms as will be honor
able to both parties. This gov
eminent expresses the hope that
Spain will reply by the end of
October, so as to give the presi-
dent a chance to report to Con
gress by the time it cOnyenes.
The Herald also publishes the
following, which it claims details
the real circumstances which led
to the downfall of the old cabi-
net:
Nearly all af the Spanish
bonds have been flOated in France
and the recent loans were plac.
ed there, but the latest applica-
ton for further loans had not
been favOrably responded to.
The only means therefore, for
raising money was through the
Bank of Spain, to which applica-
ton was made at the rate of So
100000 pezetas, or S12,000,000 Il
month in order to carry on the
war in Cuba and the PHILIPPINE
Islands. The Bank of Spain de-
clined to. make further advances
to the government several weeks
ago, and the cabinet thereupon
removed the governor of the
bank. The recently appointed
governor of the bank then tried
to force the banks committee or
board of directors the favor the
of the government
for additional loans, but his eff
forts failed. This was followed
by the determination of the cab.

interest rate on the government
