him. and he was led to believe that she
would get well.
Specialists were brought from New
York to treat Mrs. Draper, and for a
time she seemed to rally. but a week
ago she suffered a relapse.
1t may have been a premonition that
Mr. Draper had that his wife was dy-
ing, for he. too, became Frustrated

wife passed away on Monday night
and his sons carried the sad news TO
him.
Il must go to her, my sons he said.
We have never before been parted"
He insisted upon leaving his bed and
going down stairs. His grief was pitt

A PENSION SWINDLE.
Three Men Under Arrest for Alleged
Crookedncss.

Providence II. l.. March 2i.-What is
thought to be the biggest fraud in recent
years has just been discovered in this
city. The irregularities cover a period
of about eleven years, and it Is believed
that the Government has been swindled
out of about 100000 Three persons have
been arrested, and fourteen other war
rants are in the hands of the United
States marshal for service.
The first arrest was that OF William a.
Munson. a pension claim agent. which
took place on June II Of last year. The
case has been under investigation ever
since, Munson being too sick 10 be
brought to trial Yesterday J. Garrett, Il
clerk in the store in which Munson had
his office and Cornelius Draper were ar
rested. They are charged with having
made false afiidavits in connection with
Munson's pension cases.
Munson was notary public. The war
rant against him was on ten counts Five
of them charged that five different occa-
sons be made a false certificate on PEN
sion claim and the other five charged him
with uttering and transmitting forged
pension certificates. He pleaded not guilty
and was held in 5000 bail.
The Government officers are not yet
ready 10 give out the full result of their
laborS.

MoKUAWooWEE ACTIVE.
Death md Destruction Threatened
by Hawaiian Volcano.

Honolulu. March Il, via San Francisco,
March A.-On the summit Of Mauna Loa
the crater Mokuawoowee shows for the
first time in fourteen years signs Of ac-
tivity. Hundreds of coffee and sugar
planters around the base OF the noun
tain have become greatly alarmed over
the prospect of an eruption that will be
attended by a food of red-hot lava that
destroys everything in its path.
For several months the crater Of XII
lauea, which is at an altitude of 4ot1
feet on the side of Mauna Loa, has been
active, but it is only within week hat
the summit of the mountain. which is
Zoo feet high. has begun TO smoke. Old
natives say that Mauna LOa never
smokes without lava flowing.
Since the last great eruption in ISL
when the lava stream came down 20
within two miles Of Hilo, the volcano
has been dead. All previous flows Of
lava from Mauna Loa have burst through
the sides of the mountain at an eIeva-
ton of about l000y feet. Without warn
ing stream of lava breaks through a
rent in the mountain side and flows down
into the fertile valleys carrying death
and destruction with II.

I'VE We're talking of New YOrk's mOnu-

been speaking Of the absUrdity of repre-
senting a man Of Admiral Farragut's
sturdy character as standing on the back
of a settee with couple Of mermaids re-
cIining under him. when the conversation
drifted to the Worth monument"

A COMPANY ASSIGNS.
The American Range Finder Con
Germ Fails.

New York, March 24-The American
Range Finder Company, a West Vir-
ginia corporation, engaged in manufac-
turing and selling range finders and
other instruments, made an assign
ment yesterday to Charles B. Van Nos
trand, of No. Sc Wall Street. Edward
A. Wickes, who has an office at No. IL
Broad Street, is president of the COM
pany, and John l. Nisbet, of Yonkers,
secretary. The company was incOrpo-
rated in 1883, with a capital stock of
$500, 900 to manufacture a range finder,
invented by Lieut. Fiske. to determine
the distance and location of ships at
sea. Soon after the company was start
ed the Government placed the finder in
use on the cruisers Chicago and Balti-
more.
In the trade the company has been
regarded as q close corporation, and
Mr. Van Nostrand was considered the
principal owner of the company. The
concern had no factory, and its instTu-
ments were manufactured for it by the
Western Electric Company, and sold on
royalty
William Williams, an attorney, who
drew the assignment papers, said he
did not think the liabilities were large.

is not strange that he should wish to

cording to press dispatches from Rome.
the Pope is using all Of the diplomacy
and influence at his command both in
Madrid and Washington to prevent the
coming punishment Of Spain. 1t is stat
ed that all Of the high dignitaries Of the
Catholic church in America have been
asked TO use their interest with Mr.. Nc
Kinley for peace. 1t is a pity that the
venerable pontif should have been
brought into this affair; because his in
terposition comes too late to be useful.
If he had used the thUnders of the
church to stop the sickening massacre of
it's children in Cuba six months ago.
that might have served Christina and
her son very well. But, probably be-
cause the real facts were kept away
from him. he did not do so. Now the
situation has outgrown the hope of al
deviation by diplomatic or religious
means. and whatever may be the con-
sequences in Europe. Spain has got to
get out Of the Western Hemisphere.

being honestly afraid Of what state OF

Of the country. However. his action in
the present crisis will be dictated to him
by The ineXorable logic of events. 1t is
not conceivable that the Maine report
should be suppressed or referred to the
appropriate committees of the two
Houses unread. Once le- the American
public get hold Of the startling text of
that document. and all Gehenna could

will rise. Mr.. Mckinley probably under

Spanish hyenas

Perhaps il is just as well for US that the
crisis in China is approaching a climax.
1t is reported that unless the Tsung Ii
Yamen comedies the demands of Russia
before Saturday, on that day the forces
Of the Car will seize Port Arthur and
Talienwan and raise the Russian flag.
Then, if ever, Great Britain must speak
and act. and the least hostile British
movement will let loose the dogs of war
all over the elder hemisphere. In such an
event We may be sure that kings and
kaisers will have all they can do to look
after affairs at home, and viii not have
the slightest disposition TO mix up with
US on this side of the Atlantic The woes
of Christina and little Alfonso Will not
be thought of in the general danger to
the peace of Europe. For nobody can tell
where the trouble would end, when once
begun. With Russia trammeled by war
with Great Britain, it might occur to the
German Emperor that the best possible
chance had come to him to get in a final
blow at France. The universal war
which Mr.. Mckinley is said to fear with
the terror of one who has been there, ap-
pears more likely 10 ensue than ever.
The Nineteenth Century has been too Wig
orous an individual to die without a
great struggle Of some sort.

All sorts Of stories are afioat as to
what the next move may be- 1t is said
that the President will ask Congress for
a large appropriation with which TO feed
the reconcent-ados, and there is not a
doubt that millions would be given him
for that purpose without a dissenting
voice. IL is the shame of America that
our refusal to recognize Cuban belliger-
ency last year has enabled Spain to per-
petrate the atrocities OF starvation. out

ilization. The whole nation is mad for
anything that win redeem our honor and

From the Boston Globe)
A proud Spaniard in New York writes to the
press to state that ''low Spain has fallen it has
not vet reached the degradation of settling
question Of national honor by the payment Of dirty
dollars Better revolution bankruptcy and defeat
than to admit that its sovereignty of 400 years
over any part of its territory is for sale" Such
a patriot could hardly do better than go home and
enlist in the Spanish navy.
