Sece nd Hand Threats.

Samuel T. Walton testified that he knew
both Canty and Rye; shortly before the
shooting, the Friday night before had
conversation about Rye.
1t was offered by the defense to show
that during that conversation, he COM
municated to Canty threats made by Rye.
1t was stated that the witness learned
of the threats at secondhand and that the
person to whom Rye is said to have made
the threats could not be produced in
court
The court held that evidence of threats
is not admissible until after something
has been adduced to show that the kill
ing was done in self-defense.
Mr. Walton then stated that he saw
Rye the day before the shooting No
ticed that there were several people
around; Rye was very much excited and
gestculating with his hands; Canty was
leaning against the railing but did not
hear him say anything. Canty came into
Jeffords's in about minute after l heard
the talking. When he came in l heard
him say something that Rye had said
What this was the witness would not be
permitted to repeat

Tn Public Won't Stand L.

The notice given by Mr.. Bailey, OF
Texas, the leader Of the Democratic side
Of the house OF representatives, that the
proposed bond bill will be opposed. and
that a substitute looking to the coinage
OF the silver selgnorage in the treasury
will be proposed, will not be popular
with the country at this time. The cool
proposition OF Bailey Is to take advan-
tagc of the war emergency to force the
country on q silver basis. Il It can be
brought about. Fortunately the house
will not be with him.
II the senate. which has a free silver
majority, undertakes the anne tactics It
cannot succeed, in doing anything more
than to obstruct the measure intended to
raise funds for the conduct OF a war
which the senators themselves voted for.
If, IN this great emergency, financial
theorists and politicians attempt 10 OBJ
struct emergency legislation by inject
ing their political and financial hobbies
they will hear from the country in a
way that will teach themthat the people
will not tolerate such tactics.
The war Is going to be a costly one;
the way to meet 1t Is to raise the money
as quickly as possible and not to en-
gage in an effort to foist upon the coun-
try. under a stress Of war. the policies OF
quack flnancIers. 8

Atutudo OF the Great Powers.


The London Daily Chronicle states
the attitude Of the different powers to-
wards this country in the war with
Spain, as follows:
Great Britain-Keen sympathy with
America, the same extending to gov
eminent circles. OF course. q neutral
attitude on the part Of the government
as such.
"France-Thc French government
would probably follow @ severely cor
rect attitude. This would be liable to
two inhuences-one OF race, since the
French, like the 'S%paniards. belong to
the Latin stock; the other. financial. be-
cause Spanish bonds are largely held in
France.
"Germany-Pro-Spanish. IN respect to
public opinion, and more so officially.
The kaiser's encourage, It Is thought,
strongly incllnes to Spain. thinking that
the professions Of America ought to be
'abated.'
Austria Hungary = Strongly pro-
Spanish, for dynastic and other reasons.
"Italy-Popular opinion Cor a free
Cuba, but the official attitude one of
reservc-a desire not to come Into COL
llsion with the other members Of the
triple alliance.
Observation-Disclosures more or less; a
matter having no concern for a coun-
try that has only one vote-that OF the
car"

the sentmeutin England. the Spectator
says. and doubtless With truth.
Fortunately public opinion here Is

hearted grumblings OF q few and they

little The only genuine touch Of feeling
for Spain entertained anywhere here %
that which always goes TO the under
dog" Spain has some supporters, boz
cause she 10 thought to be 90 weak and
the states 30 strong. The real test OF
public opinion Is the admitted fact that
tho British government, even IL they
wanted to, which they certainly do not,
could not show the slightest hostility to
the states without creating IN opposi-
ton 80 strong that It would bring them
TO ruin.
This probably correctly reflects public
opinion in England, and the fact that
tho friendly attitude Of the government
previous to the declaration OF neutrality
excited no opposition in that country
conflrmsiit- There IS every reason why
the British people and their government
should maintain this friendllness to the
United statee. There 10 no reason why
It should DO otherwise.

EnpIand,s Attitude.

The London Spectator explains the at
titude Of the European powers az not
hoing unusual but az nevertheless curl
GUS. The Spectator says that when
England and tho United States are
squablins the European press always
processes an Intense cordlality for
America, but in reality tho continental
peoples do not love the republic. Now"
says tho London paper, they are in full
cry against this insulting and arrogant
power. which dares to act without con-
sidering the feelings OF the concert OF

the way OF business, and the latter has
been practically left u take care Of It.
self, while all attention Is given to the
one topic OF the day. In all lines OF the
market there is more hesitation shown.
Consumers provide only for present
wants, as the uncertainty OF the effect
OF o conflict Is holding back both sides
OF the market. Locally. the most Inn
portant development Of the week was
the agreement OF tho Valley pig iron
producers to close down all furnaces for
thirty days during the coming three
months. This agreement Is backed by
q stiff forfeit, and It Is the general i'm
preston that this nov Will before long
have a decided effect on the market.
At all other points the situation APP
pears to be about the same.
In the east the uncertainty Is keeping
back trade operations. Buyers. however,
jhaye the best endEof the market, but
big orders are expected soon. Present
business is disappointing. At New York
and Philadelphia the pig iron market Is
quiet. There are good prospects in
Bessemer billets.
Manufactured lines are quite SLOW
and at Philadelphia bars are SO low
that the smaller mills are being crowd
ed out. Sheet Iron makers are again
busy, and the tin plate mills are rush.
ed Chicago reports trade conditions
unchanged with consumption large, but
great hesitation In orders. Pig Iron is
hardly as dull as 1t was, but bars are
not SO active. The plate mills are kept
busy and the demand for structural Is
fair.
A fairly good business IN pig iron is
being done at Cincinnati, with prices Of
finished material well sustained. The
western sheet mills are well employed.
At Cleveland all branches Of the mar
ket ore quiet, and In the Wheeling
market the purchases being made are
for immediate use.

Henry Ciews Tells How 1t Will End with
Glory for Us.
Henry Clews in the New York Press:
Here is a programme Of the war Of the
United States VS.. Spain:
Scene 1.-The departure OF ambassa-
doris from the respective governments.
Scene 2.-Spsrring for positions on
the part of the United States and
squaring for fight.
Scene S.-Great show OF fight. Both
sides show delicacy OF firing first gun.
A great deal of oluster. No blood shed.
Scene 4.-United States ships move
and blockade Cuba. but no enemy 10
sight to meet them.
Scene 5.-Spanish ships sail, but no
one, knows where to. Great excitement
felt from day to: day by the American
people asAto their whereabouts. Re-
ports occasionally come in OF their be-
Ing sighted off certain localities. which
create much excitement, especially on
the part of Newport, Boston, Charles
ton and other seaport cities.
Scene 6.-Span!sh soldiers in Cuba
give up from exhaustion of food sup
piles. Great excitement when 1t Is
found that the United States forces,
which by this time have effected a
landing. are marching into, Havana and
have captured 10000 Spanish soldiers
without firing a gun.
Scene 7.-Surrender Of Cuba 10 the
United States government. who agrees
to hold it as trustee. pending the for
nation of a new government to be
formed by the people Of the island. The
fall OF Cuba being the bone Of conten-

and being lost to Spain, Spain goes
into a collapse and peace follows The

Portupal's Attitude.

The attitude OF Portugal Is regarded
as being important than that Of
any Of the European nations. The nc-
ton Of that government in prohibiting
the sending Of news from any OF her
ports concerning naval movements Is
taken as an indication that she will aid
In all ways possible, without involving
herself in the war, her neighbor, the
Spanish nation. Portugal Is naturally a
%sympathizer OF Spain, the people being
very much Of the same nature and many
Of their interests are the same.
II the Portuguese order is carried out
strictly It will be OF some disadvantage
to. the United States in preventing her
from learning the movements OF Spanish
vessels at Portuguese ports, which. they
have been making their base Of supplies.
There Is no indication that Portugal will
actively assist Spain, but her moral sup
port will be Of great Importance In the
above respects.

OHIO. New Crediinr,, Law.

Almost the last oct OF the Ohio legisln.
ture wac tho passage OF q creditors law
which has been before that body in vari-
Gus forms for a generation past. The
business communities, not only in Ohio
but in the country generally, will be in
tereeted in this law and will watch the
operation Of the reform which It will In
augurate. Simply stated. the oct pro-
vides that tho assets Of debtors shall not
be diverted from their legitimate func-
ton OF going as far as they will reach
to the payment proHrata OF all his debts.
so that a favored few will got them to
tho exclusion Of other creditors.
It seems that. nothing Is left rundone
to make the act cover the objections to
the bankruptcy laws already In exls-
tence, and which have been much abused
according to the statements Of those
who have urged the passage Of the
measure. The provisions are briefly
stated by the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune as follows:
The measu declares every sale, con-
veyance, transfer, mortgage or assign
ment and every judgment suffered to be
taken and every act or device done or
resorted to In contemplation Of insolven-
cy, or with a design to prefer n or
more creditors to the exclusion OF others,
void as to creditors Of such debtor, and
shall inure- to the equal benefit OF all
creditors Of such creditor in proportion
to the amount Of their respective de-
nsands, including those which are un-
matured. And any such act or device
done or resorted to by a debtor. in the
event Of q deed OF assignment being
filed within ninety days after the giving
or doing Of such act shall be conclusive
~ deemed and held to be void as 10 the
assignee of such debtor, unless It be a
mortgage made in good faith to secure a
debt created simultaneously with such
mortgage, II the same be filed for record
within three days after its execution.
The law becomes operative after No
vember !, 1895.
Such a law, which eeeks to secure an
equitable distribution OF the assets OF all
debtors, will be welcomed In Ohio, where
preferences Immediately preceding an
Assignment have been permitted. and
owing to the nearness OF this business
community to that state, and the large
amount OF business done there by
Wheeling merchants and manufacture
ers. the passage OF the act has a local
interest beyond anything which has re-
Gently been enacted by tho Buckeye as

While speculatlons are rife concerning

seems reason to believe that 1t will be at
present confined to preying upon Ameci-
can commerce rather than in seeking a
meeting with the American army. The
report from London coming from Span
ish sources, that q Spanish fleet has
sailed to engage in a commandment OF

numerous misleading rumors that arc
given out from Madrid. 1t 10 hardly

Special Disl atch to THE srN.
WASHINGTON, May l6.--Thc Navy De-
partment has been informed Of tie
whereabouts Of the Oregon, and have
also heard news from the Spanish fleet,
but nothing official has been given ont
about either vessels-our ships or the
Spanish. Naval officers have been for
hidden TO give out news or even to talk
to newspaper men.
The report from the Oregon came to
the Department early his morning, and
it stated that the battleship was ON its
way north, I'd it ougitto bcsomewhere
off the coast of 'inana and ready to
leave the South American coast for the
run to either join Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet or take tile outward course around
the Windward and Leeward islands di-
rect to Key West.
The officials at the Navy Department
do not express any fear as to the safety
of the battleship or her companions, the
Marietta and Buffalo, late the Nictheroy,
and Captain Clark has instructions as to
how to proceed. II is profound secret
whether the Oregon will take the inland
course coming through the Caribbean Sea
or continue on the outward course up
the Atlantic Ocean outside the Lesser
Antilles.
As the tregon is soon due off the vene.
zuelan coast there has be some specula-
tion as to whether or not the Spanish
feet sighted at Curacoa will not make a
dash for the Oregon when she arrived off
Trinidad. 1t is known at the State De-
partment that tie Spanish fleet left
