MARKING BACK TO THE MAINE.
A Matter Much Nearer Home Than
 Cuba.

Washington, April 5.-The house committee on foreign affairs met at 10:30 this morning. Captain Sigsbee, Admiral Irwin and several experts in explosives have been summoned to give testimony regarding the blowing up of the Maine. Representative Quigg of New York, before he entered the committee room, said that Spain would be held responsible for the blowing up of the Maine.
 He is in favor of reporting a reso- lution instructing the president to drive Spain from the western hemis- phere. The committee is to meet to- night again to prepare a text of reso- lutions to ee submitted to the house The members of the committee, from information they have, believe war is inevitable unless Spain makes a square backdown.

pressed that it will be agreed to by the authorities at Washington.
 In clerical circles it appears to be understod that President Mckinley may bring a pressure to bear upon the insurgents to induce them to accept an armistice, and it is understood the holy see will then exert similar in f1uence through the episcopacy in Cuba. It is hoped here that the ar mistice proposed will be definitely drawn up tomorrow or Thursday.
 The Vatican authorities this even- ing absolutely refused to furnish any information relative to dispatch which President Mckinley is said to have sent to the pope on the subject of the latter's mediation with Spain in which the president was represented as having outlined his views on the Cuban situation.

 Madrid, April 1.-Two companies of artillery and two battalions of chas- seurs sailed for the Canaries today.
 A VAIN WAITING.
 Madrid, April 5.-The minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, in an in- terview just obtained, said the Span ish government is expecting the speedy arrival of a note from the Vat ican in which the pope would indicate the plan he proposes to terminate the present situation.
 THE POPE'S PLAN.
 Rome, April 5.-1t is authoritativezy said the pope's proposed terms are such as can be accepted by Spain and are supported by United States Min ister General Woodford, in forwarding them to President Mckinley.
 IT DOES NOT GO.
 Washington, April 5--Regarding the intervention of the pope between the United States and Spain, it can be again reiterated that no such proposal has been made to this government, and if there is to be papal mediation it must be between Spain and the in SuISS1lIS
 HEARD FROM HEADQUARTERS.
 London, April 5.-A special dispatch from Rome says telegram received at the vatican from the United States has announced the failure of the pOpe's in- teryention. It says President McKin- ley showed himself extremely sensi- ble of the initiation taken by the pom tiff, but it was impossible for him to overcome the prejudice even though it may be unjustly entertained by the majority of the American people against the vatican's intervention in political affairs.
 A SILENT DELEGATE.

A QUESTION OF DELAY.
To Be Submitted to an Impatient
 Congress.

Washington, April 5.-The cabinet meeting today was not of unusual du- ration. Extreme difficulty was en- countered in obtaining details. It was learned that it was practically settled that in his forthcoming mes sage the president will not make inn dence.
 The withholding of this recom- mendation is not because of indiffer- ence to the Cuban cause, but 1t is based upon the fact, as the president views it, that the insurgents have not established any government of their own, or such government at least as would warrant the United States un- der the we'll defined principles of in- ternational law in taking such steps

A DIPLOMATIC STRAW
Shakes Hands With Hay but Mods to
 the Spanish Minister.

New York, April 5.-A London cable to the New York Evening Sun says: European diplomacy often indicates an important political attitude by a social method. The entire diplomatic corps was at yesterdays levee, but a sig nificant interpretation was put upon an incident which the uninitiated ob- server might regard as of no conse- quence. When Col Hay, the United States ambassador, passed before the Duke of York and the other royalties, all of them advanced and cordially shook hands with him. The Spanish minister immediately followed Col. Hay and was received with formal bows.

DEFAMES THE DEAD.
SISTERS GREAT SACRIFICE TO
SAVE HER BROTHER.
Condemned to Die-In Hope of Secur-
ing New Trial She Swears the Vic
tim Was Killed f Her Sake Two
Hundred Men Lost.
Sacrifices Her Reputation.

To save the life of brother sentenced
to death for an atrociouS murder Mrs.
Kate Miller of Greenville, Ala, has sac
rificed all that woman holds most dear
the character of pure woman-and has
sworn that she and the man her brother
slew conspired to take the life of the man
whom she is trying to save. Her great
sacrifice has thus far availed John CAT
ford nothing. A new trial has been de-
MED; sentence has been pronounced and
an appeal taken to the Supreme Court.
John A. Gafford murdered Francis Bar
tow Lloyd on the evening of Aug. 70,
1897, in a lonely spot in an oak grove
three miles from Greenville. There had
been enmity between the men and CAT
ford had warned Lloyd to be armed when
he should meet him. Lloyd had left
Greenville on the evening of the murder
to drive in buggy to his home, FIVE miles
out of town. Evidently his slayer lay in
wait for him in the woods. What passed
between the men or how the murder was
done--whether openly or from conceal
ment-none but Gafford knows. He says
that on meeting Lloyd he demanded an
explanation of Lloyd's conduct toward
his (Gafford's) sister, and that Lloyd drew
his pistol. Gafford then shot Lloyd with
both barrels of a shotgun. Frank Dan
iel and Earle Lewis, young men who We're
riding out on the same road from Green
vile, reached the spot just after the
crime. Gafford then disappeared. The
young men found Lloyd dead, covered
with blood and literally riddied about the
head and upper portion of the body with
shot. The murderer remained in hiding
until morning, then gave himself up to the
sheriff and was taken from Butler County
to the Montgomery County Jail to avoid a
lynching.

Chinese Inland Waters for All.
The Pekin correspondent of the London
Times says: "China has agreed to open
all her inland waters to navigation by
steamers, whether foreign or native own
ed, under regulations to be framed subse-
quently. If not restricted by these regu-
lations the agreement, which is to come
into operation within four months, is
satisfactory and promises a wide expan-
sion of foreign trade. China has also
undertaken to open one treaty port in the
province of HUMAN within two years,
and proposes Yo-Chan, near the Yang
Tse-Kiang, on the borders of the province.
The TsungLi-Yamen's reason for the de-
lay in opening is that the central author
ity at present is poweress to enforce the
immediate opening of any port in the
Province of Human or to protect for
eigners there. China has given Great
Britain satisfactory assurances that she
will not ALLEVIATE to any other power any
portion of the YangTse valley" The
Times, commenting editorially on the fore
going dispatch, says: 1--WE heartily con-
graduate the British minister at Pekin
upon these important concessions"

A movement has been set afoot to nave
the United States erect q monument to

it be deemed inadvisable to erect it over

interest in the matter, which has been
brought officially to the attention of Con-

ENCOURAGING FEATURES
Pointed Out by r. G.. Dun & Co.'s Week
Nv Review of Trade.


According to r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly
review of trade, the dreadful disaster to
the Maine, much as it has affected all
hearts, has not much affected business.
Only in the stock market was an effect
felt. An advance of 10 per cent in wages
by some Gogebic mines is expected to be
general throughout the lake region, eX-
cepting the Mesaba district, and prices of
ore from the other ranges this year have
been advanced Is per cent, with an allot-
ment of 100000 tons outside Carnegie
mines, which betokens an output much
the largest ever known. Cotton has held
unchanged for spot, although little low
er for options. The iron production is at
present greater than the consumption.
Minor metals have advanced. In cotton
manufacture production is restricted by
strikes, and some grades are shade dear
er. The recent opening of higher grade
woolens at advanced prices meets less de-
mand than was expected, with less activ-
ity in lower grades and Unexpectedly
numerous cancellations in light weights,
Indicating larger buying than consump-
ton has yet warranted. Failures for the
week have been 295 in the United States,
against 303 last year, and 80 in Canada,
against SO last year.

1t Is Confidently Predicted that Wheat
Will Go to $3.50 per Bushel.
Reports from over Indiana say that the
general condition of the growing wheat
crop is good, but the acreage is much
smaller than last year. Millers' stocks
are small and many are shipping from
other grain centers. 1t is now known
that the Chicago grain clique headed by
Joseph Letter is rapidly disposing Of his
immense holdings of cash wheat at prices
ranging from $1.15 to Sill bushel. He
has already sold 100000 bushels for
Liverpool shipment at these prices. ALI
foreign markets are rapidly advancing
and the expected supply from the Argen-
tine has been cut off by long continued
rains. It is confidently predicted that
wheat will go to 81 .25 or $1.50 before the
new crop is ready for the market. There
are small stocks in farmers hands and
some have not kept enough for seed.
