BRITAIN's AFRICAN POLICY.
She Does Not Intend to Relax in the
Slightest Her Hold Upon
rerritOry

London, Feb. 24.-In the house of COM
mons to-day, in reply to question as to
the West African situation Mr.. Chamber
lain said he expected a friendly and sat-
isf&ctory settlement, but, under the agree
ment with France. he could not give details
until the negotiations in Paris We're ended
The difficulties he observed had not arisen
regarding the delimitation of the Say
Boruel line, but in the delimitation west of
the Niger. Speaking generally he would
say that the competition of other nations
had compelled Great Britain to adopt
more forward policy in the hinterlands of
her African colonies. From the French
standpoint. he could only admire French
policy, which had carved out for France an
enormous empire. from which she would in
the future derive well deserved benefits.
Mr.. Chamberlain said: 1T is n lamen-
table fact that We allowed ourselves to be
forestalled in Sierra Leone and Gambia,
the government determined that the same
fate should not attend the Niger and the
gold coast Consequently, ii decided to
raise a frontier force under Captain Lu-
gard to occupy the hinterlaud of those ter
ritories. The creation OF this force is
necessary whether the difficulties with
France are satisfactorily settled or not.
In conclusion. Mr.. Chamberlain asserted
that the cabinet was united In its African
policy. He believed the country was almost
united and that, while ready to make con-
full relations with foreign powers. the
country would not allow important British
interests TO be sacrificed.
Mr.. Labouchere's motion TO reduce the
colonial vote was then rejected by a vote

DIVING BELL rendered.
Opportunity offered for Maine Court
of Inquiry to Inspect
Wreck.

Milwaukee Wis, Feb. 24.-The members
of the court of inquiry into the cause of the
Maine disaster at Havana harbor will be
able to make personal submarine inspec-
ton of the wreck IL they so desire. The
American Wreckng and Salvage Company,
owners of the diving bell invented by Wor-
den G.. Smith. with which the old wreck Pc
wabic was located last summer in 160 feet
of water in Thunder bay. Lake Huron has
offered the government at Washington the
services of its bell. With the aid of the
apparatus the whole commission could be
taken to the bottom of the harbor. and the
wreck could be looked over thoroughly un-
der the powerful rays of electric lights. As
tc the success of the apparatus there is no
doubt, as the operations on the wreck of
the Pewabic showed last summer. when
part of the cargo was recovered after
lapse of thirty years, during which time
numerous divers who made the attempt
failed on account of the great depth in
which the wreck lies. 1t is said that with
the aid of this bell wreckers can operate
al greater depths than has ever been
known before and this fact is brought out
by the experience on the Pewabic. The
services of the bell have been offered to
the government through letters written to
Congressman Often and Senator Spooner,
now n Washington.

SENATOR MANDERs0N's VIEW.
Says That II Spain Was Implicated 1t
Would BE Good Cause
for War,

Chicago, Feb Aft the Spanish gov
ernment was directly implicated in that
explosion, it would be good cause for war
with the United States said ex-senator
Henderson, of Nebraska, to-day.
Il have every confidence in the ability
of our authorities to learn the facts and
handle the affair with strong hands. If
the Havana harbor was interlaced with tor
pedoes and dynamite with the knowledge
of the Spanish authorities. and our gov
ernment was not informed of the condition,
Spain would be responsible for any harm
that might come to one of our vessels. and
an explosion under such circumstances will
be equally good cause for war.
president Mckinley Is pursuing the
proper course in this NATTER continued
Senator Henderson, land / do not believe
he will make mistake whichever way he
acts. The investigation Will develop the
facts. and popular judgment should await
the outcome If the Spanish government
proves that it had no hand in the terrible
explosion, but that It was the work of
outsiders, We will be at the end OF our
string and will have to pocket the loss.
But IL it develops that Spain was at the
bottom of it, full reparation and most
abject apology will be its only way out.
OF course. If this were given, it would OBJ
viate a war.

Prominent California Pioneer and
Wall Street Operator Passed
Away Yesterday

New York. Feb. 2i.-Major Abba A. Sc
lover died to-day in this city of diabetes,
aged "A years. When a boy, his family re-
moved to Cleveland where he attended
school and later studied aw. AT the out
break OF the Mexican war young SeIover
enlisted i'll the Federal army. He joined
General Scott's army at Vera Cruz and
was attached TO the staff of Major F. LalIy.
who commanded the expedition which left
Vera Cruz to cut its way through to the
City of Mexico.
After the City OF Mexico had been taken
he took an active part in the expedition or
ganized under the leadership of Brigadier
General Lane for the purpose of capturing
General Santa Ana. After the Mexican
war was over he gave up military life and
came to this city, where ne entered a mer-
camille house as salesman. In March, 1879.
he sailed for San Francisco and was among
the early pioneers of California. He Was
elected Il member of the first common
council of the city. and was also appoint
ed chairman of the committee on health
and police, and rendered great service at
the time of the memorable cholera sea-
son.
He was an intimate friend of Senator
Brcderick. and was seated at the table when
Judge Terry offered Senator Broderick the
insult which resulted in the death of the
pedition having for its object the conquest
of the Hawaiian islands. King Kameha-
meha having approved of the undertaking.
The expedition was abandoned, however.
At the commencement of President Pierce'S
administration he was offered the position
of postmaster at San Francisco. but de-
clined all political honorS and entered the
real estate business under the firm name

tate, consisting of an area of seventy
square miles, which was sold in 1863 to d

At the outbreak of the civil war Major
Seiover went to Europe for the purpose of
buying arms for the federal government,
and returning shortly afterward, entered
the busy life of Wall street where he made
and lost several fortunes. One of his most
unpleasant experiences occurred in 1873.
when ne formed pool with Jay Gould and
James r. keene to put down the price of
Western Union. Keene and Selover sold
the stock industriously, but some unknown
influence kept buying 1t in and holding the
price up. Major Selover and Keene sus-
pected Jay Gould and the formers sus-
picions became SO firmly rooted that. meet
ing Mr.. Gould in Exchange place one day.
near Broad street, he picked him up and
threw him into the areaway of a barber
shop. Gould picked himself up and walked
away without saying a word. but Major
Selover's impulsive action cost him many
thousands of dollars thereafter. He re-
tired from active business about six years
ago.

THE SOUTH is FOR WAR.
Captain scovilIe, of Shreveport. Says
the Militia There Is Being
Drilled Every Night.

Captain NJ. L. Scovile. assistant general
freight agent Of the Pittsburg & Gulf at
Shreveport, La. was in Kansas City yes
terday and will remain to-day. He was
in conference with General Freight Agent
Sargent yesterday afternoon when seen
by reporter. but stopped to say that the
old Confederates of Louisiana were anx-
iouS TO take up arms against Spain
There will be great disappointment IN
the South If war does not grow out OF
the present troubles with Spain. ] believe
a little brush would be good thing for
this country. The militia of our state had
been virtually dead for several years until
the Maine disaster occurred. Now the
boys are drilling every night and the old
men are watching them. Some of us old
fellows are too far along in years to get
into the militia, but we would be very apt
to find a way to break into a war should
one occur. We know how to fight. and
We wouldn't require much preliminary
practice to do our work properly in
battle"
Captain Scoville says ne voices the SEN
timent of the people of the South in de-
Claring a war would be Just about the
right thing at the present time. He did
not say so but it is likely the Pittsburg
& Gulf would have to find another man to
handle its freight business on the South
ern division If there should be call for
volunteers.
