En.Iishmen wonder Whether "a Sur
plus win BE Repaid.

London, Feb. 2esTan the House of Com
mons to-day, Thomas c. Bowles con-
servative membersstor Lynn Regis, asked
whether it was true that the sum OF vs.
100000 of the AlaBama claims award still
remained in the hands of the government
of the United States and what prospect
there was that anyipart OF 1t would be re-
paid to Great Britain after the claims Tor
compensation had been satisfied. .
Right Hon. George N. Curzon, under
foreign secretary, said 1t was his belief
from accounts published in the United
States, that a certaih portion OF the award
still remained with the American govern
ment 1t would be contrary TO the under
takings of Great Britain in the treaty Of
Washington, made ia 1871 to request the
return of any sum Heft over after the
claims against the award had been salts
fed.
Mr.. Bowes-Is there any prospect of
the United States government Offering to
repay any surplus?
Mr.. Curzon--I am afraid that / cannot
speak for the United States government.

DRY GOODS STORE BURNED.
The Total Loss $47 600 and the Insur-
ance More Than Half.

Wilmington, N. c., Feb. 26.-To-night at
tbs o'clock fire broke out in the large dry
goods establishment of c. w. Polvogt &
Co., on Front street, nearly opposite the
Purcell house. The fire alarm system be-
ing out of order, the fire department did
not reach the scene with it's usual prompt
ness and the fire had gained considerable
neadway before the department got to
work, but by good management the
flames were confined to the building in
which it originated.
Polvogt & Co.'S stock was totally de-
stroyed, and nothing was left of the
building but the bare walls. The value
of the stock is about $4,000; insurance $780,
600. The building was valued at $4,000,
with partial insurance. At one time the
fire bid fair to be one of the most disas-
trous ever known here The Messenger
Office was so seriously threatened that
part of the material and machinery was
removed but the damage was slight.
The paper will be out on time in the
morning.
Tonight at $40 o'clock, before Polvogts
fire could be gotten out, fire broke in the
naval store yards of p. McNair and Cald-
er brothers on Water street, about four
blocks away from the previous fire. The
loss is about 5000.
The buggy of the fire department ran
over a young white man, F'itzhugh Lee
Gibson, of Columbia. s. c., seriously, If not
fatally injurying him.

PERRINE LAND GRANT.
The senate Committee Finds II Reg
uIar i'm Every Respect.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The Perrine grant.
involving 1900 acres Of land in Florida.
which has been under investigation for the
past week by the Senate committee on
public lands, is found by this committee
to be regular in every respect. None Of
the charges made by those attacking the
grant are sustained. The committee re-
port that the testimony shows that the
grant was issued In the regular course
of business in accordance with the laws,
and that the evidence upon which the pat
ents Issued had not the faintest suspicion
of fraud attached to it, The evidence
further showed that the Perrine heirs had
expended something like $4,000 in improve
ments upon the property In order to pro-
tect their grant. and that at fair valua-
tion the whole property was, possibly,
worth no more than that sum. The at
tack against the validity of the grant
came from people who had entered into
contracts with the heirs, and who, the
committee say, pursued this policy In or
der to force a better bargain with the own
ers OF the land.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 26.-The National
League base ball magnates, in session
here to-day, promulgated the schedule for

is IN regard to the coaching. Hereafter
but one coacher will be allowed on the
lines when there Is only one man on a
base. When more than one player has
reached first base, a second coacher can
go on the field and use his lungs to his
hearts content.

that Secretary Olney, as further evidence
of President Cleveland's friendship for
Spain, has instructed Consul General Ice
to act with caution in his dealings with
the Spanish authorities and to spare no
effort to avert further friction with them.
BY Spaniards here this is taken to mean
that Gen. Lee, to meet the appreciation
of his superiors in office, must not be as
persistent as he has been heretofore in
pressing for a recognition of rights of
American citizens.
1t is rumored that the reason why Gen.
Lee still holds his post is that he as

RUIZ TO BE AVENGED.
Spain to Punish Those Responsible
For His Death.

Washington. Feb. 26.-Omcial eablegrams
from Madrid received az the Spanish le-
cation regarding the death of Ruiz show
that the government is aroused to most
energetic action and that orders have gone
forward to Cuba to have a most thorough
investigation into the affair. This is re-
gardless of the question of Ruizs national
ity, for whether he is an American or not,
the government has determined that II
crime has been committed the guilty
parties should be punished. In the mean
time no efforts are being spared to deter
mine whether Ruiz was an American citi-
zen or not and under both the state de-
partment and legation authorities the re-
cords are being searched. So far IL can
be found only that Ruiz, then a dental
student, took out his first papers decar-
ing his intention in Philadelphia on Dec.
l9, 1877. This was near the close of the
last revolution lie soon graduated as a
dentist and returned 20 Guanabacoa In
1880, where he had practlced ever since.
1t cannot be learned that he ever return
ed to the United States, nor does it APP
pear that he lived here long enough TO ac-
quire naturalization. However, the Mad
drid government will push the investiga-
tion of his death just as forcibly as possi-
BILE and IL Gen. Lees charges are correct,
that the doctor was killed or driven to
suicide by his jailor. the severest punish
ment of military law will be executed on
those responsible.
