A dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba via Key West, dated March Sd
says:
"a young French girl, Mile. Lou
Use Flament by name, who was ar
rested here a week ago by the Span
ish authorities as political suspect,
walked free yesterday.
After she had been kept 70 hours
in 'incomunicado," the French Con-
sui demanded her trial or immediate
release.
The demand was refused. Two
days later little French warship
steamed into this port from Mar
Unique, and, accompanied by its
commander, the Consul renewed
his demand, this time insisting on
the prisoners unconditional release,
the withdrawal of all charges against
her, apology for the outrage COM
mitted upon her, acknowledgment
of a reasonable claim for damages
and a royal salute to the French
flag.
To do all this the Spanish au-
thorities were given six hours time.
In the meantime the Frenchman
cleared for action, and then calmly
awaited results.
Before the expiration of the third
hour, everything had been acceded
to, and when the Spanish cannon
began to boom their salute of regret
to France, the young French girl
was already at home, receiving the
congratulations of her friends,
among them United States Consul
Hyatt and wife, Chinese Consul Ma
son and the representatives Of va
rious South American Republics.

Mormons Making Converts.

A party of Mormon Elders, un-
der the leadership of B. H. Roberts,
who have been preaching in the su-
burbs of Chicago since October /,
expect to take colony of young
people, many Of them girls, to Salt
Lake City about April l. Meetings
have been held Sunday nights in
Wicker Park, but it seems the gen
eral public has not been aware of
their nature.
OF late, however, reports of anx-
iety about daughters supposed to be
visiting friends on Sunday evenings
and growing unrest in the commun-
ity have led to the suspicion that
the Mormon influence was becom-
ing strong enough to cut figure.
Already it is said that 200 resi-
dents of the Northwest Side have
come over to the Mormon way Of
thinking and the air in the vicinity
Of Wicker Park is thick with grow
ing excitement over the work of
prOselyting.

A warning.

~ warming
Senator Chandler, in his three
hours speech in favor Of the Inter
national Bimetallic Conference bill,
occasionally took on the character
Of a prophet; sometimes foretelling,
sometimes warming. He declared
that President Mckinley and the
other leaders Of the Republican par
ty might, if they would be wise,
indefinitely prolong the ascendan-
cy of the party" But to do this
they must make it "the true party
of the people"
The implication was plain that
the tendency was, and had been, to
make it the party representing
merely wealth. small fraction of
the people-and not by any means
true to the interes ts of the people
in general.
"lf on the contrary" said the
Senator, "this is not done, and the
Republican party should content it.
self with seizing and enjoying the
spoils of office, surrendering unre-
servedly to the money power which
so effectively contributed to it's re-
cent victory, acquiescing perma.
nently in the existing gold standard
and treating bimetallism as Jug
Cling humbug' and the promise to
promote it as pledge never intend
ed to be fulfilled, Republicans will
speedily find the tide of political
battle once more turned against
them, and they will soon exchange
places with their now sore, bleeding
and PROSTATE foes"
Again the Senator declared, II
cannot help saying warningly con-
cerning the worldwide controversy
over the burning question of money;
Unsettled questions pay no heed to
the repose of nations"
1t is refreshing to find a Republi-
can Senator who has looked deep
enough into the "burning question
of money" to find it is a world
wide controversy" and not a tempo
rary and local lunacy of a few sill
yer cranks in the United States.
1t is remarkable, also, to find a
Republican politician and states
man of national reputation and of
large ability referring so frankly to
the money power" as force to be
feared, and admitting the fact that
the same money power $50 effective
ly contributed to it's recent victory"
In the line of this warming we
ask which is more probable, that
the money power" with Secre-
tary of the Treasury of its choice,
will surrender to the people, or that
that power will still insist upon
controlling the government, regard
less of the wishes Of the people?

good stomach punches. White resorted TO
clinching, and was hissed repeatedly by
the spectators.
Sullivan had the advantage in the third
round, landing his left repeatedly on
Whites stomach, while the latter resorted
To his famous left jabs on the face. White
regained some of his speed In the fourth
round and landed some stiff punches on
"Spike' s face, opening up a bad cut over
the Irishman's right eye. He had Sulli-

The fifth was give and take, both men
being tired from the previous round.
When the gong sent the men to their cor
ners they were both very tired.
Neither man had much of an advantage
in the closing round Sullivan did most
of the leading, and his blows seemed to
have the most force. White landed several
times but he lacked the steam. The bout
was a good draw

MRS. COSTELLO SUES.
,laimS She Did Not Receive all
Money Paid for Saloon.
Jury After a Brief Consideration Gave
Verdict for Defendant.

Troubles arising ont Of the sale Of a
saloon by Annie Costello, administratrix
on her late husband, Edward Costcllos,
cd before Judge Rogers and jury this
morning. Mrs. Costello claims that she
sold saloon TO Keller for $l100, and
that this money was advanced by u. Il.
Hoye of the firm OF Hanley, Hoye
~ Co, and that all she has received
of this sum Is s2sa 30. MIR. Hoye claimed
20 have been the agent of Mr.. Keller and
also of Mrs. Costello The latter denied
that she even authorized Mr.. Hoye to act
as her agent, and has been ever since the
sale ON May 10, 1892, awaiting the settle
ment of tho, account. One of the chief
points in dispute was as to the payment
Of the license for tho year ensuing which
had been applied for when tho sale was
made. Mr.. Hoyc, as agent OF both parties,
paid 500 for the license, probate expenses,
attorneys bills, gas bills and mortgage
Of $3.50. 30 on Mrs. Costellos home, as
well a. bill Of 500 that the deceased Mr..
Costello, 1t Is claimed, owed the firm of
which Mr.. Hoyc Is a member. Mrs.
Costello denied that she ever authorized
the baymcnt of any of these bills.
Another strange incident disclosed by
The trial WAS that Mrs. Costello had pre-
viously placed her claim I'm the hands of
a well l-knoyn legal firm, and Mr.. Hoye,
after consultation with the members OF
The firm. agreed that $751; 80 was due,
which he paid. Mrs. Costello claimed
this payment was only on account.
Judge Rogers I'm his charge to the jury
said among other things that IL was to
be presumed that Mrs. Costello sold "a
licensed premises and i'm the consideration
of the claim the amount of 800 paid for
the license must bc stricken ont. At the
conclusion OF the charge Mr.. Owen, attor-
ncy for tho defendant, took an exception
10 the charge, SO far as il referred to the
license.
The jury, after being out for a few
sninutcs, returned for Instructions, and
ono OF the members of the panel asked
the court IL the jury could strike out the
license money and give verdict for the
rest. Judge Rogers said that II Mr. Hoyc
was not the agent of Mrs Costello they
might SO find, but II he was her agent he
could pay the bills he claimed To have
done. Another member of the panel
wanted TO know If the license money
could not be allowed and the rest Of the
bills rejected and this, Of course the
court said, I'm view of his previous charge,
could not be done.
IL took the jury but brief while after
the return 20 its rooms TO reach con
clusion. The verdict was in favor Of the
defendant.
j. NJ Brennan and ID. J. Holland were
attorneys for the defendant.
