Nc Room for Lieutenant Carranza In the

No Room for Lieutenant Carranza In the
Dominion of Canada
Washington. June 7.-Steps have
been taken by which Lieutenant Car
rama, who has conducted the Spanish
spy system at Montreal, with his asso-
ciate, Senior du Bose, the former first
secretary of the Spanish legation here,
will be expelled from Canada within
the next few days, unless they adopt
their own means to leave before an in
%ternational question is raised as to
their presence in Canada. The Car
IanZa letter, detailing his spy system,
was communicated to the British am
bassador. Sir Julian Pauncefote, to-
gether with all other information
bearing on the operations of the Span.
iards in Canada. The ambassador was
quick to act in the matter, and. with
out awaiting the slow process Of the
mail he cabled the entire matter to the
foreign office.
No doubt is entertained as to the
speedy action of the authorities at Lon
don, now that a specific case has been
made out against the Spanish officials
in Canada. They would have taken
the initiative, had there been more
than suspicion as to the operations of
Carranza. But the Carranza letter wal
proof positive, and the British officials
will move quickly;and,of their own voli.
tion toward securing adequate redress.
The state department has not cabled
Ambassador Hay, not deeming it nee
essary to do more than simply lay the
facts before the British ambassador
here. 1t is expected Lord Salisbury
will call the attention of tho Spanish
government to the undesirability of
having Carranza and du Bose remain
in Canada. as their actions are SO obvi-
ously hostile to the United States.

Cape Haytien, June THE United
States troopship Resoulte, formerly the
Yorktown, under convoy of the tor
pedo boat destroyer Mayfower, the
convertd Ogden Goelet yacht Of the
same name, arrived at Mole st. Mich
olas Saturday and departed shortly
after.
Advices from Mole st. Nicholas say
that Saturday, some distance off Jean
Rabel, a port on the west coast of
Hayti. half way between Port de Paix
and Mole St. Nicholas, a combat took
place between three Spanish and four
American warships. The American
ships are said to have withdrawn from
the combat. One of the Spanish war
ships entered the harbor of Jean Rabel
for water. Officers of ships lying at
st. Nicholas Mole were extremely reti-
cent.
Jean Rabel is an insurgent seaport,
and there is 10 telegraphic station
there. 1t is thought possible that the
Spanish ships encountered were the
vanguard of the Cadiz fleet. The
names of the American ships were not
ascertained, but it is believed here
that they were probably scout boats.

~TrOopship Pursued.

Port au Prince, June 7.-According
to the latest advices from Santiago de
Cuba, there were not more than II
ships in the ofing all day, and it is
believed there that the three missing
vessels have gone for provisions and
munitions of war.
At b O'Clock this evening, the
steamer Nouvelle Voldregue arrived
here from Cape Haytien, after touching
at all the ports along the coast. She
reports that yesterday. at Mole st.
Nicholas, she saw the United States
troopship Resolute awaiting instruc-
tions. The vessel was under convoy.
1t was ascertained from passengers
on the Voldregue that the Resolute
had been pursued, between Jean Rabel
and Mole St. Nicholas, by two Spanish
c%orvettes. From the same source, it
is learned that Admiral Cervera's
squadron is not, in its entirety, in
the port of Santiago de Cuba, but that
only a cruiser, supposed to be the
Colon, one torpedo-boat and two auxil-
larry cruisers are there.
A dispatch from a government source
at Port au Prince says:
"A Haytien informant, now in San
tiago de Cuba, says the restitution has
greatly increased since the lombard
ment began, and the military comman.
der has been forced to reduce the ra.
tions of the soldiers. among whom
there is much discomfort"

Joseph Ramsey, vice president and gem
eral manager Of the Wabash lines with
several of his subordinate officials, spent
Friday and Saturday in Buffalo, looking
over the terminal facilities with A. E. Rob-
bins, who was formerly with the yandalia.
now superintendent of the Buffalo division
of the Wabash. The Buffalo Commercial
speaks of Mr.. Ramsey as being one Of the
most aggressive and brightest railroad men
in the country. To a reporter Mr. Ramsey
said: THE terms of our agreement with
the Grand Trunk allow us unrestricted
rights in the transportation of both passen-
ger and freight business on the southern.
or airline, branch of the Grand Trunk sys-
tenn. We come into Buffalo unhampered
and with the right to exercise as full priv
ileges on that section as is enjoyed by the
owners. We could not ask for more for it
is practically an Independent entrance into
Buffalo" In answer to the question wheth-
er the agreement was of short limit, Mr..
Ramsey said: "Our agreement with the
Grand Trunk is permanent and will exist
for many years after our death. We will
nave equal rights on this southern branch
without any fear of an abrogation of the
contract. 1t would have required a special
act of parliament to have secured a longer
contract. The Wabash officials are glad to
get such an unhampered entrance into Buff
falo and we will try to make our route
from this city to western points the best
When the spring time table goes into effect
the passenger trains to and from Buffalo
will be put on new and faster schedule
for they will be over the southern
branch. With the hearty and harmonious
cooperation of our friendly connections we
expect to increase the facilities of our traf-
fic department considerably. Naturally we
will be a strong competitor for business for
the Wabash line between Buffalo and De-
troit, Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City and
other western cities is shorter than any
other route. There seems to be a difference
of opinion existing as to our privileges in
handling local business on the southern
branch. Permit me to say that the Wabash
has perfect right to ticket passengers from
one point to another and to carry freight in
similar way on the branch extending
from Windsor to Niagara Falls or Black
Rock"

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1t is fortunate for our country at this
critical time that we have wise, calm, cool,
clear-headed men at the helm of our ship
of state. 1t is equally fortunate that Sena-
tors Mason and Allen are practically alone
in their Apache war whoops in the United
States Senate There is more solid sense
and more true, genuine lofty patriotism in
the Journals short editorials of the 18th
inst. than there is in all this belicose yelling
for Spanish blood and brandishing of toma-
hawks and dancing of war dances by per-
sons who seem to be prompted more by
passion than patriotism, and who are GER
tainly exhibiting more ignorance and pref
udice than wisdom and common sense. Sem
ator Mason seems to think the American
people are clamoring for war and that they
demand that President Mckinley shall at
once pounce upon Spain and claw her eyes
out right away and wipe her off the face
of the earth. The eloquent senator is sure
ly mistaken. We don't want war If it can
possibly be avoided, but if 1t must come, TO

For several years there has been a strong
demand at Richmond, Ind, for a new rail-
way station, but the Pennsylvania Com
pany, which controls all the lines running
into Richmond, has up to this time taken
no action toward satisfying the demand.
About two years ago the company submit
ted plan for elevated tracks through the
city, but this plan was not satisfactory. and
was dropped. Recently a committee was APP
pointed by the city to confer with the COM
pany with regard to new station. A meet
ing Of the committee was held, at which
superintendent J. S. May of the Richmond
division, was present, with letter from
Second Vice President McCrea and Irellm-
mary plans for a station. The letter stated
that if business continued as good as it had
been il is the intention to construct q sta
ton here within the present year. The COM
mittee addressed a communication to Super
intendent May, setting forth what it deemed
best and this communication has been for
warded to Pittsburg. A Ieply ir the shape
of complete plans for a new station is eX-
Dected.

TONNAGE FALLING OFF
RAILWAY TRAFFIC AFFECTED BY
THE BAD COUNTRY ROADS.
Entrance of the wabash into Buffalo
Permanent Arrangement-Heavy
Traffic on the Big Four.

In the week ending Feb. 10 there were re-
ceived and forwarded at Indianapolis 2S573
cars, 22191 being loaded, falling off, as
compared with the week ending Feb. II, of
1886 loaded cars. The Chicago division of
the Big -Four was the only road which
showed an increase over the week ending
Feb. II. Compared with the corresponding
week of 1897, 2,212 more loaded cars were
handled, 6,346 more than in 1896, and 4,629
more than in 1895. The lighter movement
OF last week, as compared with that of the
week ending Feb. u, was wholly due to the
bad condition of the country roads, the
heavy rains the last few days making them
practically impossible with loaded wagons.
The grain movement, however, continues
heavy, especially to Baltimore and Newport
News, while Philadelphia and New York
are handling more export grain than ever
before. The shipments of provisions,
cerealine products and horses and cattle are
unusually heavy West-boupd traffic is not
as heavy in either the higher or lower class
freights; still, in the line of heavy gro
ceries, nails, glass and railway supplies, a
large tonnage is moving, but in coal traffic
the falling off is noticeable. This is the
natural result when strike of coal miners
Is in prospect and the railways and manu-
1acturers lay in larger supply than usual.
Local business continues very satisfactory.
indianapolis manufacturers, with the ex-
ception of two or three lines, are shipping
double the amount of goods they We're in
February, 1897. The roads are really I'M
able to furnish cars for the furniture man
ufacturers in the number desired, and the
malleable iron works, the engine and saw
mill builders in fact all iron industries are
heavy shippers, while the cerealine mills
and packing houses are loading more cars
than at any time in years. At the stock
yards business was a little off last week.
but still largely in excess of February last
year. and only good country roads are
needed to keep business very active. Be
low is given the car movement for the week
ending Feb. 10, and for the corresponding
weeks of 1897 and 1896:

CHAIRS MADE IN PRISON
THEY ARE DEMORALIZING BUSINESS
OF LOCAL MANUFACTURERS.
Penitentiary Goods from other States
Coming In-One Manufactures
Finds 1892 ExcelIed.

Indianapolis has two large chair manu-
featuring establishments which have be-
come noted for the excellent quality of
work they turn out and the catching de-
signs in chairs, but their field has been
entered and their business badly democrat
lied by chairs sent into the State by the
penitentiaries of six other States and the
penitentiary in northern Indiana The con-
tractors failing to make a success in the
manufacture of bicycles, sold their lease
to a chair manufacturing company which,
with the outside penitentiaries, is placing
chairs on the market of Indiana and sew
eral other States at prices which a legiti-
mate manufacturer cannot compete with.
The very States that are shipping goods
to Indiana, it is stated, will not permit
penitentiary manufactured goods sold in
their respective States. The local manufac-
turers are exercised over the matter, as
at the penitentiaries they are putting in
modern machinery and are manufacturing
and selling goods at figures which would
ruin a legitimate industry.

VERSAILLES, Ind, Feb. 19.-Hon. Hugh
u. McMullen, of Aurora, who has been en-
poyed by Attorney General Ketcham TO
assist Prosecuting Attorney Connelley in
the investigation Of the September lynching
was here yesterday. 1t was learned that
as the grand jury had found no indictments
against any of the persons connected with
me lynching, some steps would be taken by
the states attorney next week to procure
the arrest by bench warrants or otherwise
OF persons against whom they have suffi-
clent evidence TO warrant such proceedings
Ihere has been an impression that Sheriff
Busching, who was not at his residence the
night of the lynching, would be arrested for
completely, and that some of the other
county officials would also be arrested for
participating in the affair. Those persons
who are suspected of knowing something
about the lynching have expressed them
selves as secure in the belief that the state
will never convict a person charged with
the offense. Public sentiment here is
against any further agitation of the matter
but there is some anxiety to know just
when the Governor and attorney general are
going TO let up on the investigation.

DANGERS IN NAVAL LIFE.

Electrical Review.

Electrical Review.
Those who believe that a naval officers
life in times of peace is one of ease viii
undoubtedly change their views after read
ing the following experience, as told by
well-known officer i'll the United States
navy:
II came very near going up into the air
in small bits on this last squadron cruise:
We were at heavy gun practice at sea, and
but for the quickness of gunners mate
would never have returned. AS you prob
ably know the heavy guns In the turrets
are fired by electricity the gun being dis
charged simply By pressing button. The
officer in command of the forward turret
on our ship during rapld-f1ring practice
was just about TO press the button to flre
one of our big guns when gunners mate
was seen to grab at something on the wall
of the turret and then fall in a heap on
but the gun was not discharged. When the
mate came to he was asked what had hap
pened, and he informed the officer that the
breech Of the gun had not been locked and
that what he grabbed at on the wall was
the wires forming the electric firing cir
cult When he saw that the officer was
prepared to fire the gun and at the same
time observed that the breech of the gun
was not locked the only thing that oc-
CURED to him TO prevent the gun being dis
charged was to destroy the circuit. which
he did promptly and effectively. When all
this occurred there was charge or $50
pounds Of powder in the. gun. another
charge of the same size In the turret ready
to be seryed, and the passageway leading
to the powder magazine was wide open.
tSut Tor the QuiCkneSS OF the mate
the gun would have been discharged. the
breech block would have blown out inside
the turret the gases from the burning
powder would probably have ignited the
charge lying In the turret. this explosion
would have gnited the powder in the mag
azine, and the chances are that the whole
ship, crew and ALL would have gone up in
the air. A thought that has occurred TO me
is this: Suppose the accident had occurred
what do you imagine the verdict OF a
board of inquiry as to the cause of the loss
of the ship would have been? Since this

any of the large guns until the breech is
