trail Criminal Court to-day, Florence
Stansfeld, who was charged at the
Westminster police court on November
II with attempting to blackmail Earl
Darlington, the joint hereditary Lord
Great Chamberlain, was sentenced to
eighteen months penal servitude.
The court proceedings developed the
fact that Florence Stansfield, who is
described as fine looking woman of
distinguished manners. had sent letters
to Earl Darlington demanding money
Her counsel explained that his client
had written the letters under mistake
as to the identity of Earl Darlington,
adding that she had known man for
many years who went under the name
of Lloyd, but when she had all along
believed was Earl Darlington. The
magistrate, however, declined to allow
the case to be withdrawn and commit
ted the prisoner for trial.
The Cambridge county court made a
commitment order to-day on the Duke
of Manchester. who was sued for liv-
cry stable debt Of 40 pounds and costs.
The order, however, was suspended
for three weeks, with liberty to appeal.
William Angus Montagu, the present
Duke Of Manchester. is the ninth Duke
and son of the eigth Duke of Manches-
ter. whose wife was formerly Miss Com
suela Yzenge, of New York. The pres
ent Duke was born on March 3, 1877,
and succeeded to the title on the death
OF his father in 1892 The estates of
the Duke of Manchester include KIM
bolton Castle and Brampton Park.
Huntingdcnshire. England, and Tanger-
agee Castle, County Armagh, Ireland.
During the early part of the present
year it was reported that the Duke OF
Manchester was to marry Miss Pauline
Astor, daughter of William Waldorf
Aston, but the report was subsequently
denied. The young Dukes name has
also been mentioned as an aspirant to
the hand of Miss Mary Goelet, daugh-
ter of the late Ogden Goelet. This ru-
NOR went so far as to have 1t that the
Duke was engaged to Miss Goelet,
statement which was emphatically de-
ned by the family.

Rates VIII BE Considerably Reduced
in Many of the Schedules.

Washington, April 2-The republican
members of the senate committee on fin
ance are continuing their work day and
night on the tariff BILL with the nten
ton OF reporting 1t to the senate at the
earliest possible day. They are not yet
prepared to give out any of the results
OF their Investigations, and state that
they have not reached any conclusions
rs to proposed changes. There Is, how
ever, well defined impression about
the senate that the bill will be generally
remodeled and the rates considerably re-
duced In many of the schedules There
Is general belief among western sena-
tors that there will be material changes
in the rates on woods, especially on those
of the third class.
Among other suggestions urged Is re-
turn to the Wilson law of eight cents a
pound duty on hops, instead of the Is
cents proposed by the Dingley bill. 1t Is
claimed that the proposed increase will
be an Injury rather than a benefit to
the producer, and q hardship to the con-
sumner.
There is much contention about the
lumber schedule. The American lumber
men Interested in Canadian forests ap
pear to be especially concerned over the
Dingley rates.
The committee Is not receiving any
verbal statements except from senators
but is giving close attention to type
written presentations of fact and argu-
ment.
Anticipating the Law.
Washington, April 2.-Secretary Gage
today announced that he had decided TO
comply with the requirements of sec
tion q of the pending tariff bill, provid-
Ing for the retention of samples of mer-
chandlse imported under orders given
subsequent to April 1, which were not
purchased, and directed by the owner
to be shipped for import into the United
States prior to April 1. This action, how
ever, will be taken under section As Of
the revised statutes, which authorizes
the secretary to exercise a superntend-
ence over the collection of duties.

CONGRESS AND INDIA FAMINE.

Washington, April 3.-There was brief

adjournment to next Wednesday, in pur-
suance of the policy which has been de-
termined upon. The only business trans
luton providing for chartering a vessel
to carry food to the famine sufferers of
India. incidentally, Mr.. McMillin of Ten
nessee suggested an amendment condemn
ing England's national policy.
After the usual routine business James
Hamilton Lewis, a democratic member
elect from the state of Washington, was
escorted to the bar of the house and took
the oath of office.
The joint resolution from the senate
providing for chartering a vessel to carry
food to the famine sufferers of India was
called up by Mr.. Grout.
Mr.. McMillin said that he did not want
to stand in the way of charity, but this
was a time for plain talk, when, he de-
clared, 1.-The sad spectacle is presented of
the United States having to contribute
charity to the starving subjects of Great

While Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts
contended that Ireland was prosperous
until England broke down the system of
protection, Mr.. Simpson of Kansas be-
lieved it was the English landlord sys-
tenn which ruined both Ireland and India,
an dthat the United States was travelling
towards the same goal.

wHEELMEN IN CHICAGO POLITICS.
Circular In Support of Carter Harri-
son Raises a Stir.

Chicago, April 2.-Chief Consul Patee OF
the Illinois division Of the League Of
American Wheelmen has demanded of
President Potter that george K Barrett,
who got out a political circular intended
to pledge the American Wheelmen's vote
to Carter Harrison for mayor of Chi
cago, be suspended.
In answer to ali r4ven1ng Post telegram
Mr.. Potter says: "A member of the
league may be disciplined or expelled only
when guilty of conduct prejudicial to the
interests of the organization. The wheel
men of Illinois are seeking to elect pub
lie officers who will not be corrupted by
railroad influences, and as l understand
the situation, they have gone into poll
tics for the purpose. The League OF
American Wheelmen will support the cy-
clists of Illinois, and will look to them
to set an example in their efforts for
wheelmen's rights and better roads which
other states may proftably emulate"
Late this afternoon the L. A. w. leaders
in this city went into executive session.
Many of the wheelmen present repudi-
ated the Barrett circular, and the meet
ing issued a counter-circular, which is
virtually an Endorsement of the republic

GOES TO RELIEVE THE MARION.
Departure of the Cruiser PhiIadel-
phia Has No Other Significance.

Washington, April 2.-Secretary Long
is authority for the statement that or
ders for the flagship Philadelphia to pro-
coed to Honolulu have no significance.
1t is said at the state department that
the movement has not been requested
by 1t, as would have been the case had
threatened trouble between the Japan
csc and Hawaiian government entered
into the calculations of the navy depart
ment. The Philadelphia Is to relieve the
Marion, which relieved the Alert. The
reason for the change is said to be the
belief of the secretary Of the navy that
from the Importance of Honolulu COM
mercially and otherwise the United
States should have a ship of a higher
class than the Marion stationed there.
The Philadelphia, while a modern DOW
erful cruiser, Is sadly out of condition,
and it was the intention of the depart
ment just as soon as the repairs to the
Baltimore were completed, to use her
to replace the Philadelphia as flagship
of the Pacific station, and put the latter
craft out OF commission and thoroughly
renovate her. 1t is conjectured that the
Marion may be sent to Samoa to show
the United States flag In that quarter
OF the glCb for the first time in four
years.
Philadelphia Sails Sunday.
San Diego, April 2-The flagship Phil
adelphia will sail Sunday for Honolulu,
and everything Is being rushed aboard
her in the way of supplies.

gagged in the latter operations included
several cruisers. With these were NUM-
her of gunboats and light draught shlps
for maneuvering through ao1aceh'
swamps. ., ,a
The officials of the Spanish legation are
highly gratified at the announcements

the conflict in the Islands. .
Minister Dupuy de LONE cabled at D
o clock last night his congratulatlons 10
General Polavieja, commander OIL ing
Spanish forces, and making the circuit Oh
half the globe. An answer was receiVeu
at o'clock this morning from PoiaVleJa'
expressing his thanks.
General Polavieja's plan or Campaign
was to advance from the south on the
several towns held by the Insurgents
while the fleet operated along the north
ern coast, the government forces grauu-
ally coming together. Half the time ne
was obliged to be carried on litter, ana
active operations were lntrusted to Ma
jor General Tachambro. The lighting on
the northern march has been severe, tlie
losses running into the hundreds me
towns of Silary, Das Marius and santa
ran were stormed successfully and tax
en-. Those, with the towns taken yester-
day, constituted, 1t is said, all the strong
holds formerly held by the insurgents IN
the province Of Cavite. The Spanish
forces have sustained considerable loss
es General Savilla and two colonies are
among those killed during the several
storming operations.
General Polavleja's force now numbers
5000 men.

that the Spaniards have inflicted anothe:
defeat on the insurgents, killing 200 of
the enemy.

WEYLER ENLARGINe HIS TRAPS.
Relieves Gomez Can Escape Him
Only by an Open Boat.

Havana, April 2.-Dispatches from
Cienfugos, province of Santa Clara, an
nounce that Captain General Weyler has
ordered the arrest and Imprisonment of
the chief Of police Senior Merina, several
police inspectors and IS other persons.
1t appears that the captain general while
visiting the marine hospital, which con-
tanned 20 patients, made inquiries which
elected the admission that the ratlons
were of a poorer quality than those serv-
ed in the military hospital, where there
are 300 patients.
The military line across the province of
Puerto Principe from Jeruco in the south
to Moron in the north has been entirely
closed. The Spanish troops occupying
the island of Turiguana, off the Moron
coast, have constructed fort in the only
pass which 1t Is possible to get through,
and the Spanish military authorities be-
lieve that the line of forts stretching
across the part of the island has so re-
strained the movements of the insurgents
that nothing is left to the latter but to
escape by sea in a boat.
