Experiment Tried in "a Number OF
Parishes ina England.
Pittsburg Dispatch


Last week the vicar designate of ALI
Saints Church. South Merstham, Eng
land, mentioned at church council Meet
ing the intention he with others entertained
of starting a public house in the parish.
He said his idea was to carry on the place
through a manager, who would have no
interest in the business beyond receiving
his fixed salary. The profits would be de-
voted to some good cause in the parish,
and at the same time drunkenness in the
parish would be greatly lessened, while
cial intercourse was increased. We shall
feel interested to know whether the project,
which the Rev. T. p Brocklehurst, the
vicar, anticipates But it will have to an
swer better than Prebendary Denisons ex-
pertinent in a similar direction in North
Kensington. Prebendary Denison started q
licensed house in his parish with view
to show that there are better ways Of con-
Quoting licensed houses than those at pres
emit prevalent. But he had to abandon it.
The house was managed somewhat after
members, and by the rules no member could
order for himself more than three drinks
in one evening. But he might treat his
friends. There was gymnasium, and good
concerts were held with the object of per-
Suading the men that recreation and social
amenities were TO be preferred to mere
drinking. For time all worked smoothly
and well, but the men, who were of q
rough class did not lose their roughness.
but made the club very noisy. Some Of
them, too, appeared to treat each other
some sort of mutual arrangement in the
matter with the object of cheating the very
desirable aims Of the trustful promoter. So
the club was abandoned.

Significant Dispatch from ItaIy's
Minister of Foreign Affairs.

ROME, April 9-The associated cotton
spinners of Milan have sent a long telegram
to the Marquis Vasconti-Venosta, the for
eign minister representing that the mate
rials for their trade are furnished almost
entirely from the southern districts of the
United States, and that the cargoes are al
ways paid for at the port of embarkation,
and frequently shipped on Spanish or
American vessels. They wished to be in
formed if, in the event of an outbreak of
hostilities, the belligerents would ulti-
mately be held responsible for the capture,
the damage or the loss which might be in
fiicted Oh the citizens of neutral powers.
The Marquis Visconti-Venosta replied by
telegraph, as follows:
IF, contrary TO our hopes war should
break out between Spain and the United
States, the Kings government will not fail
to associate itself with all the powers in ali
measures that appear best calculated to
render less serious for neutrals a war be-
tween two states which did not adhere to
the declaration of Paris 1856
This application and the guarded nature
of the reply give a measure of the appre-
tensions which are naturally felt in all re-
sponsible circles at the present aspect of
affairs.

The news of the American consuls leav-
ing their posts spread rapidly about the
city and produced considerable surprise.
Ihe matter was talked about generally and
the remark: Well, let them go" was
heard here and there. The Spaniards say
the fact of the consuls leaving has not pro-
duced the effect which the friends of the
insurgents are alleged to have expected.
The Spanish patriots also claim they are
taxing things cooly and are awaiting
future events with serenity They quote
many prominent people as saying there is
no Importance in the action of the consuls.

THE MADRID PRESS.
Ell Pals Verging ON Delirium in It's
Efforts to Be RabidIy Yellow.

MADRID, April 9.-The Globo QiberaD
this morning rejoices at the ''calmer judg-
ment of yesterdays press" highly COM
mending the utterances of the Corre-
spondencia. de Espana and the Epoca, and
adding: Neither America nor Spain can
ignore the collective action without daring
the Europeau powers. England's participa-
ton necessitates Spain's watchful eye on
the developments. We have not forgotten
that the Times said: In order to treat with
the insurgents the Spanards must pocket
their pride Unless the powers tie the
American hands against further aiding the
insurgents their interference will be of little
benefit to America, Spain or Europe"
The Pals is publishing a series of rabid
war articles, the wording verging on de-
lirium. On it's front page to-day it has the
representation of a Spanish lion guarding
the Cuban flag, with a pig overlooking a
partition formed by the American flag. I'm
der the cartoon is printed the remark: IF
the grunter wants the flag, come and fetch
it." This sensational paper announces in
startling headlines that there has been an
attack on the Spanish embassy at Washing
ton. AS a matter of fact, the Spanish min
lister at Washington, Senior Polo y Bernabe,
has telegraphed denying the affair, and add
ing that the facts were simply that few
roughs had hooted in front of the legation.
The opinions expressed by the newspapers
are contradictory. Some of them hold that
war is inevitable and others hope for peace.
The Correspondencia de Espana says the in
tervention of the powers has produced at
Washington an effect favorable to Spain
1t adds: Spain can accept the friendly
counsel of the powers to solve the question
where she cannot recede in front OF the
American demands"
In discussing the armistice the Epocha
says it is believed that the presentation of
President McKinley'S message to Congress
will be again postponed until next Friday.
'El Correo (offlciaD says: while America
asked for armiStice Spain refused, but to
the voice of Europe and the Pope even
Spain without diShonor may accept the ar
rdngement proposed in the interests of
peace"
Ell Liberal moderate Republican, says:
1.-The powers preliminary proceedings at
Washington do not speak intentions favor
able to Spain. It is clear that the powers
are Indifferent to the opinion of the Spanish
government, while the phrase necessary
guarantees in the note suggests indiffer-
ence to our legitimate and imprescriptible
rights
The Epoca's article last night suggesting
the governments compliance with the pow
erS' intention to find defintiVe and perma-
nent solution of the Cuban questions makes
Ell Liberal suspect that the article in
by Senior Moret, minister of the colonies,
whose object is to upset the war party, and
FL Liberal demands an immediate eXplana-
ton of the terms ''definitive and permanent
solution which will enable Spain to judge
openly of the proposals.

reported to have said: THE responsibility

the almost unanimous opinion that Senior
Sagasta should remain in power, but there
was little doubt expressed that ii would not
be long before a military government would

against an otherwise unanimous resolution
TO support Senior Sagasta was the voice of
