rapidly abating. Advices from Vienna
say that Count Goluschowski, the Aus
trian minister Of foreign affairs, held a
conference yesterday with the British
and Russian ambassadors to Austria
and as result of the interview, the
minister was able to communicate tc
Emperor Francis Joseph such reassur-
ing news as justified the emperor In
making preparations to start for Cape
Martin on Monday for a season OF
recreation. The situation now inspires
no immediate disquietude. Greece has
submitted, or at least will submit tc
the behests of the united powers, and
the outlook for complete cessation OF
hostilities is extremely promising.
Whatever may be the result of the
kaisers sudden intervention to prevent
further aggressive action, the best Ger
main opinion credits his majesty with
having averted the gravest danger both
to Greece and to Europe.
The policy of the kaiser has in some
quarters been misconstrued as merely
following the lead of Russia, and in
different to the claims Of the Cretans
or their Greek kinsfolk But the more
reasonable and least biased view OF
Berlin diplomacy is that throughout
dealing with Crete as an integral pari
of the whole eastern question, without
prejudice to the ultimate claims OF
Greece and Crete to have their mutual
aspirations satisfied.

THE COMING "BOYING CONTEST"
Corbett and Fitzsimlnons Actively Train.
ing for the Big Event.

Carson, New Feb. 21.-A warm sun
and mud sleighs, cutters and snow
craft of all descriptions were pressed
into service and by noon CARSON was
a deserted village. Every vehicle head
ed for either Corbett's or Fitzsimmon' 8
training quarters, freighted with v!si-
tors Of both sexes to see the champions
in. action. Among the early departures
was Fitzsimmons. Stepping into pair
Of rubber shoes, he pulled a heavy
sweater over his shoulders and started
on q. dog trot for Cooks ranch, to the
musicaI click of a score of cameras.
7 A chilly reception awaited him, his
baggage having miscarried and he was
obliged to retire while his clothing ar
rived.
Bob's punching bag and other train
ing apparatus followed him in the af-
ternoon and will be set in place to-mor-
row. He proposes to have a handball
court built in the huge training shed
for use should the weather prevent his
working out of doors.
Corbett had a light breakfast early
and played three games Of handball
with his brother Joe. Then Billy
Woods strapped a chest protector
across his breast and pulled pneumat-
&c face over his countenance and dared
the champion to do battle. During the
first bout Corbett picked an opening
and landed right on Woods jaw, which
punctured covering and all but knocked
the Denver man out. Woods was the
most astonished man in Nevada. "He
can't hit with Fitzsimmons can't he?"
mumbled Woods, rubbing his jaw.
Don't you believe 1T; that was the
hardest blow l ever felt
For the ediication of the visitors Cor
bett spared few minutes and played
handball with his brother Joe in the
evening.
Corbett wrote to his wife to day
asking her to make him a belt OF red,
white and blue silk which he proposes
wearing in the battle on st. Patrick S
day. To further preserve the unities,
he will sport a green sash, and from
his corner an Irish flag will hang be-
hind "Old Glory"

Major M,KINLEY,S CALLERS.
After Receiving Few He Left for Cleve
land in the Afternoon.

| Canton, O., Feb. Ex-Governor Brad
ley of Kentucky and Bishop Walden of
Cincinnati were the only callers on the
president -elect to-day. Governor Brad
| ley arrived early this morning and
took dinner with the president-elect
He left for Cleveland in the middle of
the afternono to have a talk with Mark
| Hanna. Mr. Hanna is expected here
on Tuesday and there will be several
other prominent visitors in Canton this
week
J. J. McCook of New York will prob
ably be one of them, and if he comes
he is likely to be offered a cabinet port
folio. His appointment has not yet
been decided upon, but the chances are
that he will be the New York man in
Major McKinley's cabinet. Mr.. Nc
Cook will not be attorney general The
belief here tonight is that he will be
given an opportunity to accept the port
folio of the interior department This
arrangement seems extremely probable
when it is recalled that a good lawyer
is required for the department of the
interior.
James A. Gary of Baltimore is not
lawyer, and he will be postmaster gen.
eral, as there is no disposition to shift
Ex-Governor Long of Massachusetts
from the navy department. AS a result
of this arrangement Judge Joseph Nc
Kenna of California will probably be
the attorney general.
Major Mckinley did not attend
church to-day and was not feeling
quite as well as usual. though it must
not be supposed that he is in danger
of collapse. Captain Heistand, Major
McKinley's private secretary, who has
been confined to bed with the grip for
several days, is much improved.

NINE DAYS MORE OF CONGRESS-.
There VIII be General Clearing Up of
Business Before the Session Ends.

Washington Feb 21.--Only nine more
working days remain to the Fifty
fourth congress, and the condition of
the appropriation bills will compel the
senate to make UP for the time lost
in a futile effort to ratify the arbitra-
ton treaty, which now appears to have
been shelved. The pending sundry civ
il bill and the naval bill will probably
cause some debate. The president has
so far approved the legislative bill,
the consular and diplomatic bill, the
military academy bill and the pension
bill. The army bill is in conference,
and the agricultural bill was agreed to
in conference yesterday.
The Indian bill is now in the senate
and will probably not be passed before
tomorrow night The District of Co
lumbia bill is on the calendar and will
be called up as soon as the Indian, bill
is out of the way. This bill may lead
to protracted debate owing to a fight
between contending electric light COM
panies.
The appropriation committee of the
senate is still considering the postoffice
bill, the scndry civil bill and the forti-
fications bill, all of which will be re-
ported in two or three days. OF the
remaining appropriation measures, the
naval bill and the general deficiency
bill are still in the house.
The house also will occupy the re-
mainder of the time in clearing UP of
necessary business. Three hours de-
bate on the Pacific railroad nara ora nh
of the general deficiency appropriation
bill will take place on Monday in COM
mittee of the whole and then probably
another day will be spent in going
over the measure in open house. The
passage of bills under suspension of the
rules committee will be in order during,
the closing days of the session, but the
house leaders seem determined to shut
down upon all measures asking further
appropriations of money.

THE PRESS ASSOCIATIONS.
United Associated Presses Reject Over
tures of the Associated Press

New York, Feb 21.-The committee
of the United Associated Presses ap-
pointed to confer with a similar com
mittee of the Associated Press of Illi-
nois to-day gave notice to the latter
that it had been instructed to termin-
ate negotiations Notwithstanding the
committee of the two organizatio
met in the most conciliatory and annia-
BILE spirit they were unable to agree
upon a union. Had a union been eff
fected both parties seemed entirely
agreeable to the application of any sur
plus to reduction of assessments and
the payment Of whatever debts the two
organizations might have against
them
1t was impossible for the representa-
tives of the United Press to secure a
union, which would fully protect either
their allied organizations or their mem
bers and clients as individuals. This
was the chief reason why negotiations
came to an end.
The United Press committee desires
to inform it's members and clients that
with the cordial financial and loyal CO.
operation of all the New York members
and it's allied organizations over the
country arrangements have been made
by which the United Press will con-
tinue upon sound paying basis. This
guarantees a permanent and thorough
ly effective service. The United Asso-
ciated Presses have total receipts of
more than S1,000,000 per annum. With
this volume of business it is idle to as
sumo that a strong, efficient and per-
manent service cannot be maintained.
This will be DONE and every member
and client of the United Associated
Presses can feel assured that he will
have a permanent and satisfactory SER
vice. The New York Sun resumes its
former relations to the United Press
and renews its allegiance and hearty
support of the organization. The Her.
aid, Tribune, Times and Journal also
continue their support as heretofore. as
well as the members generally of the
United Press proper and its allied or
ganizations.

Columbus. o.. Feb. Ex-Governor
Bushnell furnished the following state
ment to the United Associated Presses
this evening:
ut had been my intention to make
no announcement in relation to the ac-
tion I would take in the matter of an
appointment to fill the prospective va
cancy in the Ohio representation in the
United States senate until the vacancy
actually existed. But on account of
the manifest interest of the people and
their desire to know what will be done,
l deem it bsst now to make the follow
ing statement:
when Senator Sherman resigns to
enter the cabinet of President McKin-
ley 1 will appoint to succeed him Hon.
Marcus A. Hanna of Cuyahoga county
to serve until his successor is chosen
by the Seventy-third general assembly
of the state. 1 trust this action will
meet with the approval of the people

VIII GENERAL LEE REsIGNe
Rumor to That Effect Reaches This
Country via Havana.


Key West, Fla, Feb. 21-Rumors
have prevailed all day here that some
thing stirring occurred in Havana yes
terday, thought it cannot be confirmed
as yet in any way. The story is that
Consul General Lee is weary of his
work and is ready and anxious to re-
sign if the administration will not back
him up in his latest case-that of free
ing all American political suspects now
in rank Spanish dungeons, or at least
securing them speedy civil trial such
as they are entitled to.
The case of DR.. Ruiz, it is claimed,
brought this up. General Lee investi-
gated the so-called suicide report and
discredited it. He cabled his suspi-
cions to Secretary Olney and was told
to investigate. This he did and then
demanded of the Spaniards that the
body be disinterred and a post-mortem
be had This they refused shortly. Sec
retary Olney upheld General Lee, and
finally General Lees demand was ac-
ceded to by the Spaniards. The post
mortem was held yesterday, it is said,
and while it revealed no actual traces
Of foul play, General Lee decided that
his information was such as almost
to prove it. 1t is reported that he and
the Spanish officials had sharp words
on the subject.
General Lee then cabled Secretary
olney that the administration must
uphold him in his demand for the in
stant release of all Americans unjustly
imprisoned as political suspects, or
give them speedy civil trials this de-
mand to be enforced with the presence
of American warships. If not, then he
would resign.

APArRIorIo oELEBRAr1oN
Held by st. Aloysius t. A. and Ii. Last
Evening.

A Washington patriotic celebration
was held at st. Aloysius hall last even
ing under the auspices of the St. Alloy
sium T. A. and B. society. The hall
was packed and all the standing room
was occupied. Everyone present car
ried small national flag, 700 of these
having been given out at the entrance
James P. Bree was chairman of the
meeting. The program consisted of
music, both vocal and instrumental,
recitations and an address by Rev. A
A. Doyle. The st. Aloysius glee club
sang <the opening chorus. Recitations
were given by Miss Mary Louise
O'Brien and Daniel V. McNamee. Mr..
Joseph Smith sang solo. In his ad-
dress Rev. Father Doyle spoke of the
evil influence of the saloon in politics,
and said he did not believe that a
more unique institution than the Amer
lean saloon could be found in the world.
The saloon is a sort of club for the
Workingmen. With them the saloon
keeper comes into prominence and is
the modern great man in the politics of
the city. If this is not stopped there
will be a need for another Washington
to fight not against the power of Eng
land, but against the power of the
liquor traffic. Father Doyle spoke of
other conditions that make intemper-
ance so common. BY joining hands
and antagonizing this saloon power
in politics, he said we may do the work
of Washington and earn commendation
from our fellow citizens.
The committee of arrangements for
the celebration consisted of James F.
Brennan, Thomas F. Meagher, Daniel
w. Brennan, John ]. Sprightly, Michael
Flynn and James P. Bree.

Funeral of Mrs. Chaplin VIII Probably
Take Place To-day

rake race IO-uay.
Falls Village, Feb. 21.--There were no
developments to-day in the investiga-
ton in the deaths of Mrs William H.
Chaplin, the wife of the postmaster
here, and Charles F. Mead, both of
whom were found yesterday morning
at the Chaplin home with bullet wounds
in their heads. The funeral of Mrs.
Chaplin was to take place at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, but Medical Ex-
aminer Skiff has not yet granted bur-
ial permit The medical examiner said
tonight that he had decided to pursue
the investigation further.
He had heard considerable gossip
bearing on the case since the tragedy
occurred, and he would investigate GER
tain stories that have been reported to
him by villagers.
1t is probable that the funeral of
Mrs. Chaplin will take place, as arrang-
ed, at o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
as the medical examiner will clear up
his investigation tomorrow morning.
DR.. Skiff would not state what the ma
ture of the alleged new evidence in the
case was. The funeral of Mead will
take place on Tuesday.
1t was learned to-day that the door
Of Mrs. Chapins room was forced open,
the wood work near the lock being
broken away. A lighted lamp was
found in the dining room where the
bodies were found, indicating that Mead
and Mrs. Chaplin had had quite a con-
sultation before the crime was commit
ted A railroad man says that he saw
Mead on the railroad track in the rear
of the Chaplin home about o'clock
Friday evening and that is the last time
that he was seen alive.

Students.

students.
The members of the senior class in
the law school who have received de-
grees voted at meeting held Saturday
to wear the hoods authorized by the
corporation to be worn by men having
degrees at commencement.
This is the first time the hoods have
been adopted by the students in any of

was considerable opposition expressed
to the innovation. A large majority,
however voted to wear the hood.
The hoods are black striped, with the
colors of the college from which the de-
gree was received and by color also
designating the department. Doctors,
masters and bachelors degrees are
designated by the length of the hood.
