LOCKE MEETS HIS MATCH.
Irate Mrs. Klein Drives the Con-
stable From Her Store
Law Stops Her Career.

Constable Joe" Locke had a rather ex-
citing experience yesterday in attempting
to appraise the value Of the stock and fix
lures of Mrs. Caroline Klein's grocery and
meat store, at No. II Greenville avenue.
This he attempted to do by virtue Of
writ Of execution issued from the Second
District Court, Mrs. Klein having failed
to keep her promise with Lawyer Frank
McDermott, who secured for his clients,
Demorest and Johnson of New York a
Judgment for s56 to satisfy claim that
firm held against Mrs. Klein.
When Locke called at the store to ap-
praise the goods, Mrs. Klein was very
angry. Approaching the Constable with
a club she threateningly ordered him from
the premises, and said she had been ad-
vised to brain any man who came there
to appraise the goods. Locke has been
Constable for twenty-one years, and mas
never before had any trouble of this char
acter least of all with a woman. His
persuasive eloquence was utterly lost on
Mrs. Klein, however, and she attempted
to forcibly elected him from the store.
1t was an unpleasant experience for the
affable constable but, being even temper
ed Joe has always been recognized g phil
osopher.

being ruffled than the leaves of the pro-
verbal red nosegay which adorned the
lapel Of his coat, which had not been
touched in the scrimmage.
The easiest way is the best way" he
soliloquised.
Then he drove back to the office of Jus
>tice Of the Peace Milton Hanna, opposite
the Court House, and swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Mrs. Klein on
charges of assault and interfering with
an officer in the performance of his
duty
This morning the warrants were served
on her by Constable Mitchell, and she was
taken before Justice of the Peace Hanna
and held for the Grand Jury on both
charges. John Beach, of Beach Bros,
Newark avenue went on her bonds.
When arrafgned before the Justice her
Amazonian spirit had apparently been
somewhat subdued. but even then at
times, she grew somewhat Flip" She
said she had been wrongly advised by
friends to do what she did.
Constable Locke is not over anxious to
see the woman punished, but he says
that no other course was left open to him
than to do what he did. 1t looks as
though Mrs. Klein will be able to satisfy
the claim of her creditors without having
her goods sold.

HAWA|PS RULERS SAIL.
Their Dignity Offended by
the Remarkably Appro-
pirate Cargo Of the
Mariposa.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL 1S9S.-The
steamer Mariposa, conveying the Ha-
waiian Commissioners and 154 men of the
First New York Volunteers I'd Honolulu
sailed shortly after four O'Clock this
morning. She was detained at her dock
all night awaiting the arrival Of delayed
English mails.
When the Hawaiian Commission en-
barked on the steamer Mariposa, they
found the passenger deck stacked with
boxes of onions. Senators Morgan and
Cullen and Representative Hit made a
strong protest to Captain Hayward
against the ship sailing in such a com
dition. They declared that is was an out
rage and an insult to the Government to
convert the vessel which was to carry
the official representatives on such an i'm
portant mission into a freight ship.
Further than this they asserted that it
was unsafe to proceed to sea under such
conditions. Every berth on the steamer
was taken, and a number of passengers
could not get sleeping accommodations.
The Commission was obliged to remain
on the vessel for the reason that it could
not secure any other means of transporta-

ASSEMBLY OF PATRIOTS,

Only Three Votes Against the Measure
to Increase the Strength of the Artil-
Iory Branch, Passed by the House,
Warm Speeches Made.
WASHINGTON, March S.-By an almost
unanimous vote the Hawley bill, pro.
viding for two additional regiments Of
artillery, has passed in the house under
suspension of the rules. Only three
votes were against it.
No effort was made to obstruot action,
but Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader,
pleaded for more time than the 40 min.
utes allowed under the rule, and be.
cause it was refused, after the bill had
been passed he inaugurated filibustering
against District of Columbia legislation.
Mr.. Bailey desired to speak IN favor of
the bill, but could not get time. Mr.
Cox Tenn. and Mr.. Jones (Va.) both
antagoni2ed the bill on the ground it
made permanent increase Of the stand
ing army.
Mr. Hull explained briefly the neces-
sity for these men to man the coast de.
fenses of the country. By July /, he
said pa big guns and 232 mortars
would be mounted, 41G in all. These
guns required Is men each to handle
them and in time of war 60. There
were but 4,025 artillery men all told in
the service. The guns emplaced July
would require 1000 regardless Of any
eXigency that might arise. Even if nc
eXigency arose these men, he insisted,
would be necessary to care for the guns
and Notifications upon which we were
expending millions of dollars.
The charge that this bill was an at.
tempt to increase the standing army, to
be used possibly to overawe the cities,
he SAID he considered too frivolous to
discuss.
Mr.. Belknap (Rep., IllS.), a son of ex.
Secretary of War Belllnap, and Mr.. Nc.
Clellan Dem, N. ", a son of General
Mcclellan, both warmly advocated the
passage of the bill in brief speeches, and
Mr.. Hay Dem., Va,) created the first
open enthusiasm by declaring himself
in favor of taking every step necessary
now to prepare for the emergency which
confronts the country.
Mr.. Shatroth (Colo.) caused round
of applause when he expressed his re.
gret that single voice should be raised
against such a bill at such time. There
was no denying the fact that our foreign
relations with Spain were on the eve OF
arupture.
Mr.. Williams Dem, Miss said that
while his voice was now, as ever, for
peace, it seemed absolutely certain that
Spain was forcing us into war to extri.
cate the Nreigning family from the des.
perate straits into which she was placed
by her futile attempts to subjugate
| Cuba.
Mr.. Lewis Dem, Wash attempted
to offer an amendment prohibiting the
use of these two regiments to suppress
strikes.
The bill was tlen passed without di
vision.
The great chorus of ayes was offset by
three voices on the minority side

Orders Given ut Once to Recruit the
Force at Different Points.
WASHINGTON, March s.-Without de-
lay the officers Of the adjutant general s
department were given the necessary
orders for the recruiting of the new
artillery regiments authorized by con-
gress The purpose is to enlist such
men as have had service in the artillery
wherever possible and no doubt is en-
tertained that plenty Of material
Of the right kind will offer.
The names of the officers of the new
regiments are now being selected. AS

ment as the nucleus of each new COM
pany to take hold of and break in the

pected that in a very short time Uncle
Sam will have two good regiments.
The headquarters of one of these
regiments will be established at Fort
Slocum, in Long Island sound, com.
manding New York, as there are suit
pble quarters available there. The des-
tination Of the other regiment has not
