Storm still Raging Over the Edict
on the Czech Language.
London, May 24-The Standards corre-
spondent at Vienna says: The obstruc-
ton which characterized the proceedings
in the Reichsrath during the last few
weeks eliminated to-day in an unprece-
dented scene. The president became so
excited in anticipation of trouble that he
tainted before the session opened, and the
vice president had to take the chair. For
hours members of the opposition had re-
course to every parliamentary device for
obstructing business. and finally, when
these were exhausted overturned desks,
smashed inkstands, flung books in the
faces of the speakers, INDUCED in coarse
invectives and finally came to blows in
a general riot.
The German party, infiamed with rage
at the edict making the Czech language
the official language of Bohemia, crowded
with clinched fists around the minister's
table, where Count Badeni sat, pale as
death, and shouted: Down with the
Polish Baden"
Finally the sitting was suspended in
great disorder
The minister OF the majority is in favor
or holding 4S-hour sittings to wear out the
offenders. 1t is believed that Count Ba-
deni holds an imperial decree of prero-
cation, which he will use if all other

Spain to Admit Supplies Free of Duty
and an Army Onicer 10 buy Them.
Washington, May 24-President McKin-
ley to-day signed the resolution approprI-
ating $4,000 for the relief of destitute
American citizens in Cuba.
The President, at the suggestion
Of Secretary Alger, is considering the plan
OF assigning an officer from the commits
sary department of the regular army to
take charge of the assembling of relief
supplies for Americans in Cuba This de-
partment Is trained in the handling Of sup
plies and has advantages In contracting
for large quantities OF necessari ries.
Through the good offices of the Spanish
government II is expected that, If IL is de-
elded TO send food supplies to Cuba In adj
dition to the remlttances Of money our
government will be able to send much more
than would be the case if duty were ex-
acted upon the goods imported. An inti-
nation has been given that such supplies
VIII be admitted duty free. The import
ance OF this remission can be perceived,
when 1t Is realized that the duty on -four
Is $3.50 per barrelor about It's original cost.
In other words the $4,000 appropriation
VIII be practically doubled In value by the
saving of tariff deductions.
IL was said this afternoon that the Pres
ident Tomorrow would begin TO plan the
details of the distribution, so the subject
doubtless will come before the full cabinet
at its regular meeting.

TRIAL OF Won TAUSCH.
He Ascribed the EmperOr's MaIady
to "a CancerOus Basis.


Berlin, May A.-The trial of Herr Won
Tausch, the former commissioner of the
secret political police, who was arrested
on Dec. last, at the close of the sensa-
tional Luetzow-Leckers trial, during
which the imperial chancellor, Prince Ho-
henlohe; the minister for foreign af-
fairs. Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein,
and the German ambassador to Austria,
Count Philip Won Gutenberg, were among
the witnesses, commenced to-day and will
probably last week.
The German court is deeply agitated
over the trial. Baron Won Luetsow, during
his examination to-day, testified that he
received definite instructions to publish
reports about the ear troubles of the en-
peror. The witness was asked if Won
Tausch assigned these troubles to an al
legged malady. He replied: Certainly,
Won Tausch said the malady had a can
cerous basis, was inherited from his
father and that the disease considerably
affected his majesty's general health"
Instead of the customary late night
session, the court rose at 4:3O o'clock this
afternoon.
Herr Won Tausch, who has been in pris-
on since the close of the Leckert-Luetzow
trial early last winter, declared abruptly
that he was physically and mentally in
capable of longer attendance to-day.
1t is probable that the case will occupy
from six to ten days.

SIMPSONS WAR ON THE SPEAKER.
He Objects to Reference TO "A Conn

Washington, May 24.-some OF the mem
bers of the minority were prepared when
the House met to-day to attempt to force
consideration of the Senate Cuban beIig-
erency resolution in the face of the pro-
claimed intention of the republican leaders
not to allow action for the present. and de-
spite the protest of the South Carolina

SPANS PARLIAMENTARY SPLIT.
Premier CanOvas Speaks of the Alb
sence of the Liberals.

sence OF the Liberals.
Madrid, May A.-In the Senate to-day,
in reply to a conservative senator, who
asked why the liberals were absent, Senor
Canovas del Castillo the premier, said:
In the opinion of the government, the
matter which the liberals plead as an ex-
cuse for their absence from the Senate is
an incident of a purely personal charac-
ter, which has already been arranged
The government respects the opinion of
the liberal minority, but rejects their the
ory of the incident and their demands for
the resignation of the minister of foreign
affairs as contrary to the constitution of
parliament.
Formerly, l governed in the absence of
a minority but under the present circum-
stances the responsibility belongs to all
parties. 1t is impossible to face the ne
gotiauons now on foot without serious det-
riment, If we change the foreign minis
ter"
The Marquis Of Perales, on behalf of the
dissident conservatives, declared that un-
der the circumstances they felt compelled
to absent themselves until the liberals
had received satisfaction.
In the Chamber of Deputies the premier
repeated the statement he had made in
the Senate, adding that he regretted the
absence of the liberals, because it pre-
vented Senor Sagasta from defending him
self against certain accusations
arising out of an erroneous Interpretation
of one of his speeches. Senior Canovas
referred to the bad impression which had
been produced in this way at Washington,
where, he said, it seemed to be supposed
that the sale of Cuba was possible thing.
Spain" said Senior Canovas, lis not a
nation of merchants, capable of selling it's
honor"
Senor Francisco Silvela, leader of the
dissident conservatives in the chamber,
who quarreled with Senior Canovas in 1891,
over the expediency of reforming the mu-
nicipal abuses in Madrid, accused the
Duke of Tetuan of a grave error, which
could not be righted by a few eloquent
words. He said the foreign minister ought
to expiate his offense by resigning. In the
course of his speech he described the ac-
tion of the United States Senate in recog-
nizing the belligerency of the Cuban in
surgents as a great iniquity," and char
acterized the diplomatic conduct of the
government as altogether blameworthy,
adding an expression of his doubt as to
the intelligence of Senor Canovas in re-
tanning the Duke of Tetuan under the
circumstances.
After the session of the cortes, the dis
sident conservatives held a meeting and
decided to ask the president of the cham
Der to enter into negotiations with Senior
Sagasta, with a view of inducing the lib
erals to attend the cortes.
London, May 25.-A dispatch to the
Times from Madrid says that the state
ments and explanations of the premier
in the Senate and Chamber Of Deputies
do not tend to break the deadlock, but, on
the contrary, have strengthened the reso-
luton of the liberals to absent themselves
from the eortes until granted satisfaction
for the affront put upon Senior Comas by
the Duke of Tetuan
