Senator Hoar has given notice that he
will introduce a resolution which will ma
terially change the custom of permitting
any one senator to retard legislation upon
the false idea of senatorial courtesy, and
that will enable the senate to act on leg
islatiOn when it desires after reasonable
debate. The necessity of such an innova-
ton is very obvious. The senate has
drifted into customs that render it entire
ly inefficient as a legislative body, and
it is high time such evils should be cor
rected We want an active, positive body
of men in the senate to do something and
not to resort 10 every device to do moth

BLEW Up 4 TRAIN.
Insurgents Capture 800 Spanish Prison
ers Electrical Apparatus Used.

New York. March l6.-A Havana spe-
cial 10 the world says:
Through CubanS here il is learned that
a train carrying Spanish troops was
blown up by dynamite while passing over
a deep gorge south Of Candolaria. Pinar
del Rio province and that nearly 30
soldiers We're killed or injured. The To-
connective and six cars We're demolished.
The tragedy occurred about the 10th inst.
The Spanish general had learned of a
projected insurgent attack. supposedly on
San CriStObal. and he sent off 800 troops
in armored cars 10 re-eufOrce the garrison
there. About ten miles from San CriStO-
bal the road crosses a deep gorge on a
very high bridge. about 800 feet long.
The insurgents. learning Of the departure,
lined the bridge at the bends and the
center with the heavy charges Of dyna-
mite. connecting the explosive by wires
with a battery in the woods, some dis
lance off. Three hundred insurgents lay
in ambush nearby. The Minse brothers
We're in command, and Capt. John Lynn,
the young American electrical engineer,
who has made himself famous in Cuba
for his work on the dynamite gun, con-
trived the affair.
The train approached the bridge about
) o'clock i'll the morning. When fairly
on it all three charges We're exploded by
the wires. The engine and cars went
into the air like 50 many chips and fell
into the deep gorge below. crushing the
dead and injured alike Then the wreck
age caught fire. As soon as the explo-
sion occurred the insurgents dashed from
their ambuscade with wild cries and be-
gan a massacre. But for the timely
hosting of the white flag by Col. Mores.

forces, every man would have been ma
chetted. AS il was the Cubans secured

GRIM WAR BOUND TO CONE.
THAT Is THE GENERAL BELIEF
IN THE CITY OF ATHENS
AT PRESENT.
PLAN OF CAMPAIGN FULLY PREPARED
The Macedonian Frontier Is Now the
Center of Interest and Greece Is
Rushing Troops There-Dis-
appointed at Russia.

Athens, March 16.-lt is the general be-
lief here that nothing now can prevent
war, and the government has its plan OF
campaign fully prepared. The cabinet
had long session today as to the atti-
tude to be taken in face of the coercive
program of Europe, and ii is reported
that decision was reached to take ac-
tive measures as being the only solution
possible for Greece.
The center of interest now is trans
ferred from Crete TO the Macedonian
frontier. 1t is evident from the haste
which the government has displayed in
getting all available troops off by sea be-
fore the commencement of the blockade
that there is a strong conviction that they
will be needed at once. With the sea
route closed the transportation of troops
must be overland, and this will be an
exceedingly slow and difficult process.
owing to the absence of horses and the
incomplete railroad system in southern
Greece. Many war correspondents have
already arrived at Nolo, Larissa and other
frontier points. The Greek officers on
the frontier find the utmost difficulty in
restraining their men, but the departure
of Crown Prince Constantine for the
frontier has been deferred on the advice
of the generals in command, who fear
that his presence would have Il danger
ously exciting influence on the troops.
1t is reported that the Turkish forces
on the Macedonian frontier are raising
a double line of Notifications and are be-
ing constantly reinforced from Salonica.
Since the publication in the semi-offical
press of Count Murray Cretan policy.
which appears at the moment when it is
most calculated 10 influence the French
government, the feeling of the public
press of Greece has been one of the tierc-
est resentment toward Russia. The
Greek royal family is also seriously dis
appointed by the attitude of Russia and
France, who appears to have sacrificed
her Cretan sympathies on the altar of the
RussO-France entente.

The Washington Star announces Mr..
McKinley's policy on the subject of in
ternational bimetallism. The Star says:
1t is understood that the president will
not appoint members of an international
conference commission or take any steps
toward calling conference until after
the expiration of the special session of
congress. The president has in mind IA
comprehensive plan for dealing with the
whole monetary question. 1t is under
stood that he will ut first contine negotia-
tons with foreign governments to the
usual diplomatic agencies. All the am
bassadOrs and ministers to foreign gov
ernments appointed by Mr.. Mckinley will
be given special instructions to devote
particular attention to bringing about Il
friendly understanding on the monetary
question. They are expected to assume
an attitude friendly to bimetallism and to
exert what influence they can toward
inducing the countries to which they are
accredited to give the matter serious con
sidera ton.
There is no use to hurry a policy that
is of such doubtful popularity in Euro
pean countries. If international bimetal-
lism is ever adopted it will be after Il

A police judge in Ohio got gloriously
drunk the night previous, and the next
morning opened court and fined himself
s. and costs for drunkenness alone. The
question is, with swellcd head, Ms he
had, and arraigncd with the other dis
rcputa BILE buns, whether or not he should
not have added another s. for contempt
of court. He must have entertained a
most supreme contempt for the judge,
being himself. Judge Thurman used TO
tell of a magistrate who was often per-
sonally interested in cases coming up be-
fore his court. On one occasion Judge
Thurman was the attorney for party to
a suit in which the justice of the peace
was himself interested. No other testi-
mony being offered ON the side that il was
the magistrates interest TO favor, the
magistrate offered and was sworn and
testified, and, of course, made out case
ON that side. Judge Thurman, after con-
sulting with few neighbors present. be-
gan examining all present as 10 the cred
Utility of the justice of the peace. Every
one of them swore they would not believe
him ON OATH and the justice said as the
only testimony on one side had been SO
successfully impeached that no court on
earth would believe him. he must give a
Judgment for the other side, which Judge
Thurman represented. 1t must have been
rather embarrassing to the court TO have
had its own testimony SO impeached.

RUSSIA IS UNFOLDING.

New York, March 16.-A dispatch to
the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
Bulgaria and Servia have, in view of
the condition of affairs on the Greek and
Turkish frontier, formally communicated
their intention of remaining quiet.
1t may, however. be noted by those who
doubt the wisdom of the action of the
powers. that nothing could have stopped
these two countries from breaking out
into war had Crete been given to Greece
and further that the present good he
havOr of both will be. il is thoroughly
understood, considered later in their fav-
or when the map of Europe may need a
change.
The report that Italy is going to take
the responsibility of restoring order in
Crete is not exact, but in view of sim
plifying the action of the plans under
consideration. the fewest powers possible
say two or three, will undertake the oc-
cupation of Crete, of which one will be
Italian.
At the moment of telegraphing the
results of the discussion in the French
chamber has not reach here, but even
We're it unfavorable to the coercive pro
ject ii would in no wise aeffct the SituaI
ton, as Russia seems TO have made up
her mind.
Nothing can alter the decision. as !
have constantly telegraphed during the
past ten days, because she, thus far, has
been above clap-trap and the sentiments
of buconic societies, revolutionary agitat-
ors, radical orators, boisterous students
and Athenian demagogues. She sees
clearly that the great humanitarian ques-
ton of peace would be involved and be-
fore that there can be no triflina Or hest
tation. All the papers reproduce the
Semi-official Journal de st. Petersburg
article on the governmental declaration
of It's policy.
The Novoe Vreyma commenting on it.
says:
1T will demonstrate that at Athens.
how vain are the hopes of discord among
Russia's attitude should be known. also
the powers In the new phase all the
kingdoms have recognized Russia's pre-
dominant role. From today it is no mys-
fleet, but also her troops if a bloCkadge

begins tomorrow.
1T is painful to resort to force openly
but the responsibility must fall with its
entire weight on Greece. whom the bow
ers have done all to save. There re-
mains nothing but forced evacuation of
Crete by the Greeks. The powers will
not hesitate to do that in the interests of
Greece herself"
The Novesti, which has been warm
supporter of Greece. says that the collec-
tive note was 50 warm that Greece did
not realize it as an ultimatum Russia's
policy is clear. She cannot concede any
thing. even if there be division among
the powers. Russia will carry out her
wishes, but hopes France will help Eu-
rope to maintain peace
