KILLED BY CANNED SALMON.
A Little Child Seized With ConvuI-
siOns and Dies.

New York, April Canned salmon Is
believed to have caused the death yes
terday of Florence Schneider, nine years
old, daughter of Jacob Schneider. of No.
1916 Third Avenue. The child was sent
to a store on Wednesday evening to get
some salmon for supper. She bought it
in Third Avenue. near 105th Street. Her
mother opened the can and placed it on
the table.
Florence ate a large portion of the sal
mon. but none Of the other members of
the family took any.
The child became alarmingly i'll soon
after she left the table and was seized
with violent convulsions. She was placed
in bed and DR.. Brewster, of 10Th Street
and Lexington Avenue, was summoned.
He decided that the child was suffering
from poison and prescribed an antidote,
but the sufferer grew steadily worse the
commissions increasing in severity until
yesterday when she became unconscious
and soon died.
Coroner's Physician OHanlOn perform
ed an autopsy yesterday but said he
would not be prepared to tell the cause
of death until after he had completed an
examination today. The child had never

Hanana, Manana, Manana.

"Manana" means tomorrow. When
you ask a lazy Spaniard to do any
thing, he always says manana!"
Where an Anglo-Saxon would do a
thing yesterday, a Spaniard promises
to do it tomorrow, and there is not an
instance on record where he has kept
his promise.
"Manana" is what Sagasta says to
Mr.. Mckinley. Inasmuch as the in
dependence of Cuba involves the ces-
sion of territory, the Spanish premier
begs for delay until the Cortes can be
assembled. We have not the least
doubt that Lyman ]. Gage and John ].
McCook would give ii to him. Unfor-
tunately for them, Mr. Mckinley has
a Congress on his hands," and behind
that Congress the most infuriated sew
enty-1ive millions of people that the
world ever saw.
1t is not a question Of the "cession Of
territory that Senor Sagasta has to
consider. 1t is how quickly Blanco and
his horde Of numbering miscreants can
pack their traps and get transportation
for home. There is plenty of time to do
this. The money that the Spanish off,
cials Of all sorts have stolen in Cuba,
long ago has been RENTED to banks in
London and Paris. They have their
uniforms and decorations. They do not
know the use Of other luggage.
As long as the thing is settled. why
does MIR. Mckinley wait until next
Monday? That is a serious question
about which the country is more than
anxious. Is it to prepare for war, or
for foreign intervention? If the latter
should be offered under existing cir
cumstances, whether guilty or not
guilty, it would be a sad thing for the
Administration. All heaven could not

and deluded him into asking for Euro
pean Intervention, or any other thing
in the interests of the Spanish Cuban
bondholders. No man who ever occu-
pied the presidential chair has been
placed in the like situation. The people
at large consider Mr. Mckinley as a
good man. personally. They believe
that, if left to himself, he would do
what the nation wants. We are sorry
to say that they also believe that one
word from Marcus Alonzo Hanna and
Pie Kohlsaat has more weight with

The HeSsian in Our Midst.

In its edition of yesterday the Wash
ington Post said:
But what have we? ''The Star-Spangled Ban
ner?" The words fine, but what OF the music?
1t IS heavy. II inspires, it exalts, it excites no
one. Hail Columbia makes no pulse beat the
faster. II is neither beautiful nor impressive. 1t
IS without grace or fire.
Must things of this kind be tolerated
in the nations capital? Who that ever
heard the glorious. stirring strains of
the 'Star-Spangled Banner has not
been moved to cheers, if not TO tears,
by them. Compare them with Die
Wacht am Rhein.' with the MarseH-
laise: with the Russian or the Portu-
guese national anthems; with anything
in the way of peoples faith, hope and
blood expressed in music. Who dares
to say that the Star Spangled Banner"
is not the peer of any one of them.
Tories may prefer God Save the
Queen Papers lately in the pay of
the Spanish legation may feel chilly
when they hear the inspiring notes of
our nations song. But the American
people do not want anything better
than the ~Star-Spangled Banner"
Oh. say, does the Star-Spangled Banner still wave,
Ger the land Of the free. and the home OF the
brave.
We rather think so. The dear old
song and the music sacred to it are en-
shrined in every American heart. Tor
les, and Tory newspapers, for some in
scrutable- reason, may be permitted to
exist for a time. The reason for that
existence may be concealed from US.
