BLUE VS.. RED ROCK.
The Street Committee Is Asked I
Abolish the Rather Test.

The Street Committee Is Asked to
Abolish the Rattler Test.
The Street Committee sought enlight-
eminent last night on the subject OF the
respective merits of blue and red rock for
macad amiZing and concrete purposes, as
advocated by contractors and quarry
owners interested in one or the other.
The advocates of red rock also urged the
abolition of the Rather test, while the ad-
vocaies OF blue rock were equally deter
mined in their support of its retention.
The former argued that the Rather test
is altogether inconclusive and unsatisfac-
tory and that whereas it is admittedly the
case that red rock is frequently con-
demned when subjected thereto, q material
like soapstone will pass through it un-
scathed. The red rock party freely as
serted that the blue rock gentlemen con-
stituted monopolistic com mbina alton, and
the blue rock gentlemen assured the
committee that their only desire was to
promote the cause OF good road construc-
tion.
The committee listened to the discus
sion for three hours, and will subse-
quently report its conclusions to the
board.
The principal speakers on behalf of red
rock, and who advised the abolition of the
Rather test, were ]. G. Heggerty, ]. B.
Crocker, Joseph Scheerer, Diggins and P.

sp0mtsh official
NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. 26.-A Herald
special from Havana via Key West says
The Marquis de Palmerola made a scanda-
lous personal attack on General Lee
Wednesday night in the Palace in the
presence of several American newspaper
corresp spondents.
The incident arose because the censor
refused to pass a dispatch for the cor
respondents which said that the release OF
Scott had been demanded because he was
both arrested and kept in prison in de-
fance of the law.
"Who told you that?" shouted General
Palmerola, the Secretary of State for the
island
General Lee," replied correspondent
calmly.
General Lee is liar, imposter and
rebel" shouted the little Marquis with
an oath.
General Lee is of course too busily en-
gagged in protecting the lives and property
of our fellow-citizens to pay any attention
to Palm erola's outbreak.
The situation is still the same as de-
scribed to you on Wednesday.
General Lee leaves Havana st the mo-
ment when he is satisfied that the Gov
ernment at Washington will not do its
whole duty in preventing the occurrence

many disting guished French families who

women, in that place.
The charge against her is that she was
making lint to dress the wounds of the
insurgents. The papers in the case are
now in The hands of the acting French
Consul General here, and it is expected
that energetic action will be authorized
from Paris. The French colony and mer-
chants are very indignant and demand
immediate action on the part of their
country. They ask that Count SaIa. the
Consul-General, now in Paris, return i'm
mediately to his post, as the acting Con-
sul-General, they say, is not protecting
French interests.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Feb. 26-The
tug Dauntless had little tilt with the
cruiser Vesuvius to-day. She tried to
leave the river, when four blasts from I e
Vesuvius' big whistle were heard. The
tug did not obey and a second and third
were blown. Seeing other preparations
made to stop her by force, the tug yielded
and came into dock again. 1t is believed
that this was done to make a case against
the Government for damages stronger, al

LINCOLN, NEBR., Feb. 26.-In the State
Senate to-day Cald we'll of Nichols County
offered the following resolution:
WHEREAS, We are reliably informed by dis
patches through the public press from Cuba
that the flag of this country is daily being dis
honored in the streets of Havana, that Amerf
cans are not only being hlssed along the thor
oughfares Of the city, but are being robbed
and imprisoned and murdered by the Span
can women there, and every atrocity coneeiv-
able for Spaniard to visit on Americans is
being thrust pom them; therefore, be it
Resolved BY the Senate of the State of Ne
brasks, that we regard such treatment as bar
bsrous in the extreme and inimical to the
spirit that should be shown by one civilized
Government 10 another, and that longer ST.
lence or inaction on behalf of the United States
would be q dishonOr to the dignity and loyalty
of the Nation; that we resent and disapprove
the attitude and policy OF the present admir-
istration in its unpatriotic treatment of these
outrages daily committed by Spain against our
National honor; and shat we commend the
action of Consul-General Lee in resigning his
consulsnip rather than obey the instructions
of the State Department in its unpatTiotic, un-
American policy in America.
1t was introduced as a party measure,
being signed by the seven Republican
Senators, but was adopted by an almost
unanimous vote, but one Senator oppos-
ing it.

The late lamented legislature of Arizona was composed of five re publicans, one populist and thirty democrats. The democrats and populist were elected on promises to enact legislation favorable to the laboring classes. To show how faithfully they carried out their ante election promises we cite the fact that everything corporate was exempt from taxation by legislative enactment Reservoirs, reservoir sites, railroads, street railways, fly ing machines, bicycles, factories, taneries, and manufactures of all kinds were included in the list. Ikenberry, the lone populist, intro duced a measure to prohibit cor porations from paying workmen in store orders or script. This meas ure was killed in the lower house by a vote of p to ?, aud every measure affecting workingmen was dealt with in the same way. Charges of bribery and corruption were rife on the streets of Phenix when the bullion tax bill was de- feated and the same charge was made when the prison removal bill was killed. A bill making it felony to publish newspaper within the territory of Arizona passed the as- sembly by vote of 13 to II. It might have been intended as a josh, but in reality it was apparent that many of the members would rather live in a country void of newsgathers where their question able methods could not be published to the world. We commend a pe- rusal of the journal of the late leg islature to the popo-democratic con- vert of the hybrid sheet down the way.

It started out by making grossly ex- travagant appropriations and wound up by repudiating honest debts and killing a number of worthy bills.

SAVE MONEY BY USING
"DANIEL BEST" CRUDE OIL ENGINE.

This Engine can be operated on either Crude Oil, Distillate, Gasoline or Kerosene. It is the cheapest power on earth and Is not tied to any one kind of Oil, but can use any kind that will make gas and is not handicap ped by being compelled to use certain oil. Do not forget this when in need of an Engine.
 We guaraT tee our Engines to work perfectly on California Crude Oil, or Distillate, or any of her kind 0f gaseous Oil; we however prefer CALIFORNIA CRUDE OIL, from COalings, Fresno county. for the reason that gas from Crude Oil will produce more power from the number of feet of gas used than from any other O1l and it is also natural lubricant as well, the valves being always fabricated sufficiently to prevent them from sticking, thus assuring greater dura bility of the working parts than it otherwise would be in using dry gas. Ana an other advantage we claim is, that danger from explosions is reduced to a minimum, there be- ing no accumulation of gas, but is used by the absolutely safe The following is a test that we made with one of our Five Horse Power Crude Oil Engines running ten hours on the different gas oils:
 Cal Crude Oil, 40 gray, 71z gals. at SC. 5 .971z Distillate,, 40 gray. 722 gals. at Se;, 6O Dom; Coal Oil 40 gray. 713 gals. at 1212c .9SA Gasoline "A gray. SA gals. at 15c 1.31H City Gas 1000 feet, 2.
 We manufacture all sizes from twO-horse power up, and will guarantee that our Engines will run cheaper and are more simple in con struction, have fewer parts and hence are more durable than any other Gss Engine the market. Seeing is believing; don't take our word for it, but come and investigate for yourselves. You can always see one in opera ton at our works. We will be pleased to see you and will at all times take pleasure in showing them up. Our engines are especially adapted for running well and mining ma chinery-in fact, for any kind of power de sired. We are the pioneers and first in entOrS of Crude Oil and Distillate Engines. We al- ways lead and never follow. Send for Cata- logue and Price List of the only genuine Crude Oil and Distillate Engine made.
