The woman was tired Of the same

right. She agreed to become Mrs.
Sedgwick if they arrived safely in Sc

for their transportation, which really
meant that he carry their provisions

chips. I'll have a lot Of coffee berries
instead"
All agreed to accept coffee berries
as substitute for the worries, and all
turned up at the house as soon as the
wife had Joined her party. The chips,
or coffee grains, were doled out by the
banker and the game started. Owing
to the warmth of the room a window
near the hosts seat had been raised
Luck was with the host. The game
progressed quietly and nearly every
pot found its way eventually to the
stack Of berries at his side, until he
had enough to make beverage for the
crowd. By II o'clock two or three had
dropped out and gone home, and those
who remained had given ali the coffee
beans to their entertainer. Then the
wife returned.
She noted with evident satisfaction
that the game was devoid of anything
as suspicious as chips, and greeted all
pleasantly Then she stood leaning on
her husbands chair, chatting about the
play.
AS she chatted she carelessly fin
gered the little pile of coffee beans
and at every other word would care
lessly flip one or two Of them out of
the window, or absent-mindedly put
one in her mouth and bite it in pieces.
The banker saw and grinned with
fiendish glee. Every grain of coffee
which she cast to the winds or ground
up between her pretty teeth represent
ed quarter. At every fresh flip her
husbands eyes opened wide; his stare
became more maniacal. By the time
the pile had dwindled down to half it's
original size he was on the verge of
imbecility, but he saved himself and
the rest Of his pile. Springing up in
the middle of story his wife was tell
ing, he said:
MARY, for heavens sake stop chew
ing that coffee. You make me nerv-
GUS"
Mary looked and wondered, and there
was a CLEAN of suspicion in her eyes
as she babe them goodnight and re-
tired. The husband sadly cashed in
his diminished pile, and the game
broke up.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-'The be-
havior of congress has been admirable
during the protracted crisis of the last
two months" said Representative NC
Call, of MaSsa chusetts, this morning,
but L regret to say that there have been
some exceptions. 1 am VeXed with
those orators who have taken this
time to indulge in the luxury of fam
boyant speeches. The situation IS
grave enough without that sort OF
thing 1 believe the authors of these
patriotic addresses, in most instances,
are men who were too young to go TO
the last war, and would be found to be
to old to go the next one. l am by no
means without hope that through the
resources of diplomacy and fair dealing
we shall be able to reach an amicable
settlement Of the present difficulties.
Certainly it is the part Of statesman
ship to count we'll the cost Of war be-
fore embarking on it. 1t is not difficult
to get into war; almost anybody could
show us how to do that; but it may be
quite another matter to emerge from
one with honor. When fire is once
kindled you cannot tell how far it will
spread or what proportions the confla-
grafton may reach.
"And even If we could assume that
war with Spain would be but a naval
parade, with no loss OF life or property,
grave problems would still remain in
Connection with the termination of Span
lsh rule on the island. The two classes
of people there, the insurgents that now
are, and the fanatical loyalists, would
surely be in trouble, and the United
States could not well consent to stand
by and see the island given over to an
archy or to the horrors of civil strife.
Il take it that the native patriot, when
he has ceased to be struggling for lib
erty, will be Invested of a good many
Of the ornamental qualities with which
our imagination now clothes him. L
believe the United States would ulti-
mately be compelled to annex the ISL
and or to assume a Drotectorate OF
some sort over it. and either course
would be open to grave objections; the
republican form Of government does
not thrive well in the tropics.

An unknown man made his appear
ance in the vicinity of Washburn post
office, Hennepin county, at daylight
yesterday, remained at the house Of a
farmer all day, and without warning
hanged himself. No reason except in
sanity can be assigned for the deed.
The stranger was well dressed. He
appeared to belong to the middle class,
and weighed about 200 pounds Deputy
Coroner Deziel went out to view the
remains.
About o'clock yesterday morning
the strange man was seen about the
postoffice at Washburn. He was in
quiring the way to the house Of a man
unknown in that neighborhood. He
talked somewhat incoherently. People
in the vicinity directed the stranger to
the main road as he said he had lost
his way. He said he had wandered all
night. After finding the main road
he lost his way again, and finally
wound up at the residence of L. c.
Stacy, farmer residing mile from
Washburn. He remained about the
house until 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
Then he went into the garden, secured
a piece of rope and hanged himself to
an evergreen tree. The body was dis
covered a half-hour after. From his
talk the man is supposed to have been
deTnented.

BRAINERD, March 27.-Friends of John
Walling, who net a horrible death on Nor

week, have just returned to this city ON their
way to Royalton where Waling lived, after
giving the matter thorough investigation.
and it has been proved beyond doubt that
there was no foul play connected with the
affair, as at first supposed.
Inc information brought by them is that
Wall1rg had started on Saturday to move
his headquarters to Lake Hattie, and had with
him a pair Of blankets and a cant hook.
Reaching Norway brock where he had a small
pile of logs banked, he began to roll them
into the river, the logs being frozen to the
ground
He put the hook into one, and in endeavor-
ing to loosen it the hook broke and he fell
and two logs rolled onto him, pinning him
to the ground. one log lying across his hips
and the other lower down. With his pocket
knife he dug the frozen ground until he had
made hole which let his body into it, re-
leasing the weight of the log farthest up on
his body, but exhausted himself, and was I'M
able to proceed in the same manner to get
the other log loose. With the log across him
he lay until Monday afternoon without food
or water. and suffering untold agony. A trap
per found him in this condition and released
him. and, after relating his experience, he
died, only living short time after assistance
arrived.

LONDON, March 2S.L"On FRIDAY"
says the Madrid correspondent Of the

polntment another official interview
with Senior Gullon, in which he received
the official reply Of the Spanish govern
ment to the American memorandum of
March %. The Spanish reply, couch
ed In firm language, says the Spanish
government cannot agree with the con-
clus1ons the American government has
drawn from inaccurate information,
that does not tally with the recent &C
tivity and progress of the military
operations In Cuba, and the visible
popularity and progress of the new
colonial institutions, which have been
loyalty accepted and are supported by
even the old adverSaries of home rule
III the colony.
'Spain." the reply continues, can
not naturally admit the interference
which is foreshadowed in the American
note. and deprecates the sending of
official relief and war vessels to Cuba
as being the very elements that have
retarded the pacification of the colony.
Spain reminds the American govern
ment of all the concessions she has
made to preserve peaceful relations,
and to conciliate the United States,
the last proof being her willingness to
submit the conflicting commission re-
ports as to the Maine to arbitration.
In conclusion. the Spanish reply
shows that the government believes it
has reached the extreme limit Of con-
cessions compatible with the honor and
dignity of Spain, and will not admit
