CASHIER STICKNEY,S MURDERER. Trial to Commence and Many Sensational
 Features Expected.

Dover, N. H., Nov. 7.--Au prelimina- res have been completed for the trial of Joseph E. Kelley, the murderer of Joseph A. Stickney, cashier of the Great Falls National bank at Somersworth on April 16 last. The trial will begin in the court house in this city tomorrow and promises to be one of the most in- teresting cases in the history of Straf- ford county, or in the Granite state. It is expected the trial will last from ten days to two weeks. A vast amount of sensational testimony is looked for. There will be a large number of wit nesses, the state having already sum- money fully eighty and it is expected the defence will call upward of fifty.
 Chief Justice Carpenter will be assist ed by Judge Clark in trying the case. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley, the father and mother of the prisoner, Frank w. Kel- ley a brother and his two sisters, An nie and Lizzie Kelley, will be the only relatives from Amesbury, while there will be at least eleven more witnesses, including Drs. Murphy and Fitzhugh, who attended young Kelley during sick ness, while he was under the parental roof. The father of the prisoner arriv- ed here yesterday and has been busi- ly engaged in assisting the attorneys, who are to represent his son.
 The latest medical examination was made few days since when he related his troubles to the physicians. He maintains that he is sane and is con- siderably troubled over the likelihood that his counsel will make an effort to prove that his mind is unbalanced. When the jury is made up tomorrow, there are eighty-eight men from which to obtain a panel. And no extra men have been drawn from Somersworth, where the murder was committed. The prisoner is entitled to twenty challenges and the state to ten.
 Ths father visited his son at the jail to-day and found the prisoner nervous and somewhat excited.
 Information has reached here from Amesbury to the effect that the defence have been unable to secure one impor- tant witness whose testimony was ex- pSCieu lO DS Ol Sicdl Notlut tO LilO pl lS- oner in the person of Dr. Norton, who attended Kelley when he is said to have fallen from the roof of building and injured his head several years ago. Dr. Norton when last heard from was in Washington, but a most diligent search during the past few weeks has failed to locate him.
 Since Kelley's arrest he has frequent ly told how he took the life of Cashier Sticlkney and accomplished the theft of the money belonging to the bank after the deed was committed and the trial will be of unusual interest from the fact that his counsel will endeavor to show that their client was not re- sponsibIe for the murder on account of insanity.

POLITICAL AMNESTY hPPROVED
Spanish Cabinets Action Regarding Cuba
 and the Philippines.

Madrid, Nov. 7.-The cabinet council has approved the proposal of political amnesty for Cuba and the Phillipines. The government denies that the action to be taken with regard to the remarks made by General Weyler to the deputa- tions that waited upon him shortly be- fore he left Havana is the result of any suggestion on the subject received from Washington. No communication has been received from the American government on that matter.
 Fl Liberal referring to mysterious threats made in New York by people interested in Separatist affairs" and to the revelation of gigantic immoral speculation" says:
 "No doubt anxiety has been greatly increased during the last twentyfour hours It is known that the Cuban revolutionary committee is trying to place war bonds among filibusterers, offering ridiculous and imaginary guarantees. The committee proposes also to stamp dollar pieces 'redeemable when the Spanish troops have evacuat- ed Cuba We have done everything to restore peace in Cuba and thereby have acquired the good will of Europe and International right. Therefore we should not tolerate offensive interfer- ences; and we can meet tranquilly any complications arising out of such inter- ference. We do not believe the United States government will associate itself with those adventurers; but even should this happen We must not devil ate from the line of conduct that honor and duty dictate"

 The Hotel San Marco, one of the fin- est and most commodious hotel prop critics in this city, was burned to the ground this morning, entailing loss of about $25G,0O0, with less than LOGO insurance.

Hundreds of men assist ed in removing the furniture from the main floor and large quantity was talk en out. The owner of the San Marco was William Beale, a real estate dealer in Boston, and was leased to Mcdowell X Palmer and would have been opened next month.
 Fearing further incendiarism the own- CTS of the POndce de Leon hotel have ordered steam up constantly to increase the water pressure at a moments notice in case of necessity.

sp4NIsH GOVERNMENT CAREFUL.
No Demonstrations Within a Year Against United States.

New York, Nov. 7.-Captain William Wyndham, who has been transferred as British consul at Chicago after three years service in similar capacity in Barcelona, Spain, was a passenger on the French liner La Bretagne, which arrived here from Havre to-day. After spending week with relatives in Phil adelphia he will leave for his new post at Chicago. He said:
 ''The feeling in Spain against the United States is one of great bitterness. There have been no demonstrations in Barcelona or whereabouts within the last year against the United States and the Spanish government is taking care that there shall be none.
 "The bitterness, however, is very marked, particularly so in Barcelona. Before the Cuban war Barcelona, one of the great manufacturing centers of Spain, prospered chiefly on it's trade with Cuba and Manila. The war in Cuba and in the Philippine Islands has cut off this trade. Barcelona has lost the best and l-lost lucrative market she enjoyed. Only one-third of the men hitherto employed in her factories are now working, and they are on reduced time. All over the manufacturing cen ters of Spain there is similar commer- cial prostration.
 "The Spanish cannot understand why the United States, a friendly nation, should allow so many filibustering ex- petitions to get off safely to Cuba. That fact makes them, additionally bit ter. When I left Spain there were no symptoms of anger against Hannis Taylor, the late minister of the United States to that country. The Spanish were too much absorbed in what Gen. eral Woodford, the new minister might say or do I heard no talk there of war with the United States. Spain has not the money to wage war. As for the re- ported prospective uprising of the Carl- ists, I don't think there Is much danger of that now"

M'LEAN LE1VES FOR WASHINGTON
Indication That He Comedies Legislature
 to Republicans.

Cincinnati, Nov. 7.-John R. Mclean and party left tonight for Washington. MT. Mclean has been considered the democratic candidate for senator, and his departure is regarded as an indica- tion that he comedies the legislature to the republicans. Before his departure Mir, Mclean held a conference with Chairman McConnville and other dem- ocratic leaders. There is nothing known as to the probably policy of the demo- crats as a minority in the legislature, but it is believed they will join the anti Hanna republicans in bringing out a new man for senator.
 The question has been raised as to whether seventy-three votes are neces- sary to elect senator, that number being majority of all. If a majority of a quorum only is necessary some might be sick or absent, as that would be less embarrassing than to be present The point has also been raised as to the succession to the governorship. If Governor Bushnell should be elected senator by a fusion Lieutenant Cover nor A. w. Jones would become the chief executive. As the state senate is dem- ocratic by 19 to IF it is held that a dem ocratic senator would succeed Jones and be in line for the governorship. Among the nineteen members conceded to the democrats in the senate is Sena- tor Voight of Cincinnati, a fusion re- publican, who holds the balance of power in that body, and he is non-com- initial.

A CHURCH CHORUS STRIKES
UNDER PROT. AGRA.
 MONTE AT PEOPLES CHURCH.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., Advocated the
 Election of Low-Agramonte Did Not
 Like This Because His Son Was Im-
 prisoned In Cuba and Mayorality Candi-
 date Favored Non-Intervention.
 New York, Nov. 7-About forty sing CTS, constituting the chorus choir of the Peoples church, of which the Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., is pastor, to-day re- fused to sing out of sympathy with Prof. Agramonte, their leader because the pastor advocated the election of Seth Low for mayor last Sunday.
 Prof. Agramonte is a Cuban and a member of the New York Junta. Ills son has been in a Spanish prison for the last year. The Cubans say that Seth Low opposed any intervention of this country in Cuban affairs and stood against the cause of Cuban liberty since the outbreak of the last war.
 In the course of his sermon to-day the Rev. Thomas Dixon said: T told you a. few Sundays ago of friend of MT. Lows who had been contributing largely to this church who refused to give any more money to us because [ did not like the Citizens Union candi- date and preached against him.
 q was surprised to learn to-day that we have made some others dissatisfied by declaring MT. Lows election to be desirable. Prof. Agramonte has refus- ed, on account of what I said, to lead our choir and the choir has out of sympathy for him refused to sing. So we haven't any choir to-day r have not been told why Prof. Agramonte takes umbrage at my speech of last Sunday. I am not surprised and do not crticise him for thinking as he does. He is Cuban.
 T am told that a sonrof. his 4has for two years been languishing in a Span- ish prison. I do not know whether it is true or not, but the Cubans of" the Junta here, of which Prof Agramonte is a member, say that Seth Low was done all he could against the Cuban cause. So I am not surprised that the professor, with his impulsive blood, has refused to sing in a. church where MT. Lows election was advocated I can only say that I did not advocate my congregations voting for Low with any enthusiasm. I considered 1t my duty to do so because I saw that he was the strongest candidate against Tam many, and even he was preferable to Tammany. I cast my own vote for Low, but cast it early in the morning and took a train and got away from the city as fast as could and went shooting. did not care to be at the funeral. I cast my vote for Low but I had felt for some days premonition of the inevitable.
 T hope that Prof. Agramonte will think better of what he has done. He has been of great service to this church and am thankful to him for that even if he does not come back to us. He vol- unteered to make us a choir and he did it well.
 "This shows what a thorny path preacher has who insists on saying what he thinks I hope that he will come back to us with his cheer. I do not say word against him for feeling as he did about MT. Low, in fact I rath- CT sympathize with him. But if all our supporters leave us, if there are only three, two or one of our friends left we will still be found doing business in the best way we know how in the old stand "
