MIR. TAYLOR DID NOT SPEAK.
Two Stories Regarding His Failure t
Lecture to Catholics.

Two stories Regarding HIS Failure to
Lecture to Catholics.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Hannis Taylor,
former United States minister to Spain, was
booked for lecture on Cuba at the Catholic
University last night He did not deliver it,
and it was reported this morning the rea-
son was that Dupuy De LONE, the Spanish
minister, had objected. This statement was
denied to-day. 1t was said that Mr.. Taylor
did not talk because he had an attack of
bronchitis. This may be true, but the fact
remains that Mr. Taylor was able to at
tend dinner last night and consume guam
titles of food and wine. while to-day he was
around the streets apparently in the best of
health Mr.. Taylor himself says he did not
deliver his address at the Catholic Univer-
sity because of bronchitis At the same
time those who have been running down the
story that Mr. Taylor was choked off on
account of De LOme's protest swear to-
night that that version Is correct and they
are vastly indignant at the Spanish minis
ters successful attempt to suppress free
speech at the capital of the Nation and to
intimidate the Catholic Church authorities

LONDON, Nov. PA dispatch to the
Times from Cape Town describes bold at
tempt to rob the Standard Bank, at Clare
mont, suburb of Cape Town. A masked
man entered the counting room of the
bank, locked the door and by some unknown
means broke the neck of the cashier,
though no mark of violence could be found
on the body. When the manager of the
bank appeared the robber shot and wounded
him slightly. The police then rushed in and
the robber, seeing that all chance of es-
cape was gone, shot himself dead.

A Long-standing Dispute.

Notwithstanding the evident desire of the
British officials to discredit the above re-
ports, a conflict between the French and
British forces in the Lagos Hinterland has
been anticipated for some time. Both coun-
tries have been hurrying troops into the
disputed territory The trouble is of about
thirty years standing. In 1870 France and
Great Britain opened negotiations for the
settlement of their respective frontiers in
West Africa and it was decided in sub
stance that French influence and authority
should be confined to the north of a certain
line and that Great Britain should have
a free hand south of this line The out
break of the Franco-Prussian inter-
rupted the negotiations There was consid-
cradle opposition in both countries to the
ceSSion of any territory, and during the
next five years difficulties frequently Oc-
CURED. Finally it was resolved to appoint
commissioners to reconsider the whole mat
ter and as a result in the course of the
next ten years four separate agreements
were concluded. But since these agreements
were arrived at further difficulties have
arisen owing to the failure of the boundary
commissioners of Great Britain and France
to agree among themselves as to the from
tier lines. Since then both parties have
turned their attention to getting treaty con-
ceSsions from the native chiefs. The French
have been aiming at the establishment of
d great African empire ana ulSpatcneQ eX-
petitions to the Hinterland of Lagos and
Carnotsville to establish headquarters. The
British Niger Company, however, getting
wind of the French plans, dispatched Cap
tain NOW major Lugard to Nikki, the cap
ital of Burgu, for the purpose of negotiating
a treaty with the native rulers, and the
English officer was fortunate enough to
reach there before a French officer De
Occur, who was bound for the same place
and with the same intention, although the
latter had the start, and Lugard secured
his treaty and carried it away three weeks
before Occur arrived at Nikki The
French, however seemed to have chosen to
disregard this fact and have dispatched
armed expeditions not only to Nikki, but
to Broussa, which has all along been ac-
knowledged to be within the sphere
of British influence. Great Brit
ain also sent army officers to
Lagos to organize the natives into military
forces. Lord Salisbury has several times re-
Gently alluded to the Hinterland trouble, in
timating that Great Britain would defend
her African possessions at all hazards. The
matter has been the subject of diplomatic
negotiations between France and Britain
within the past month.

Uses of Fullsr's Earth.

Fuller's earth was originally used for
cleansing cloth Of grease, and also by
furriers for cleansing furs. In the lat
ter. case the fur was covered with a
considerable quantity of the earth and
rubbed or trOdden. 1t has also been
used as an absorbent by druggists. At
the present it's chief use Is for clarity
ing oils. In clarifying lard oil the
fuller's earth, ground to 100 mesh, is
added to the hot oil and stirred for a
short period: the oil is then passed
through filter press, the earth and col
Oring Impurities being left behind 1t.
The degree of fineness of the fuller's
earth is Of great Importance, and 1t is
necessary to heat 1t well before use.
In clarifying lubricating and similar
oils the fuller's earth is now being used
as a substitute for bone black. In this
case 1t Is not necessary to grind the ma
terial SO fine. and the size to which 1t is
ground varies with the grade Of the oil
to be treated.
