Marriage In England.

Englishmen now, it is said, are emu
lating the French in the absolute disin-
clination to marry. When they do de-
eide to take this important step, they
now frequently insist upon that dot
which is part Of the French idea of a
successful and convenable marriage
The real fact Of the matter is that the or.
dinary modern Englishman has no desire
to disturb his bachelor estate. If he has
no title, no special wealth, no great his
toric name to hand down to posterity,
single blessedness is good enough for
him. This state of mind is attributed
by many to the growing independence
Of women. Possibly this is true. prob
ably it is not. Mercenary spirits boldly
assert that marriages in England will,
on the whole, never be successful until
women bring dots to their husbands,
since gold inspires respect if not love.
Marriage on a strictly business basis is
evidently the futuro,for all English wo-
men to look forward tc.-San Francisco

TRIED TO VIOLATE HIS PAROLE.
Julio Sanguilly Attempts 70 Land in Caba
but Is Prevented,


but Is Prevented.
San Antonio. Tex, Jan. IA special
to The Express from Tampico. Mex,
says: General Julio Sanguilly was a
passenger on the Ward Line steamer
Saratoga arriving here yesterday after
noon. Your correspondent found him
at the Hotel Continental at dinner and
introduced himself and asked for an in
terview. He stated that he left New
York ostensibly for TaWpico. two of his
friends having secured his passage be-
forehand and made all necessary ar
rangements for his safe landing at Ra-
vana. He assumed the name Of John
Haley and stated that he was an ir-
valid ard wished to remain in his state
room during the trip. No one in New
York knew of his departure except his
two friends, who were members of the
Cuban junta.
When we arrived in Hs eana arrange
merits were made by which he was to
be taken ashore at o'clock on the day
Of the departure of the boat, but
through the treachery of the man who
was to row him ashore the secret was
divulged to the police, the chief of whom
presented himself at the door of the
generals state room and Informed him
that it was known to the police that
Sanguilly was on board and that he
would not be permitted to leave the
vessel. The general seemed very much
disappointed at being frustrated in his
efforts to land, being very anxious to
orce more take the field"
1t was with great difficulty that the
United States government saved San
guilly's life when the Spaniards had
him some time ago. He was pardonsd
and liberated with the stipulation that
he should never return 20 Cuba.

HANNA STILL NEEDS A VOTE,
According 20 the Outlook the Night Before
the Legislature liallotetl.

Columbus. O., Jan. 1l.-Senator Han
ma was believed last night to be one
vote short OF election. The opposition
was not sure OF % votes for any one
man as against only ~ for Hanna, but
IL felt confident at least on prevent
Ing hanns's election. Sunday night the
Democratic steering committee demand
ed Of kurtz that he furnish at least
eight aftidavits from Republican MEM
hers that they would stand WITH the
sixty-fiye Democratic members in vot-
ing against Hanna. The Democratic
steering committee reported last night
that II was satisfied. Representa-
tive Gayman. chairman Of the house
Democratic steering committee. went 50
Jar as to say Hanna's defeat today was
assured. There is no doubt that Hanna
was beaten for a week previous TO last
Friday. when Representative Manuel,
of Montgomery. changed in his favor.
On Saturday the Hanna men secured
Representative Griffith, of Union. but
they made no accessions Sundayor Sat-
arday, and IL Is the general belief that
they are short one vote. 1t has been
agreed by a conference committee that
the balloting in the two houses will
not begin until p. m. today. and
there may be several changes in that
time. The real work Of the fight on
both sides was done last night.
The workers did not sleep and
Will not until after the balloting be-
gins. There Is 2 feeling among many
Of thoseloppos'ng Hanna that IL he is
not defeated on the fiSst baitot - or
rather by the separate ballotstoday
he will not be defeated at all.
While the opposition still insists on
kurtz as the candidate against Hanna,

ATHLETE AND SCULPTOR.
A Talo OF james Z. Keliy's Powers, as Re.
lated by d Friend.


Although he is not large physically,
several good stories are told about the
prowess Of James L. Kelly, the sculp-
tor whose bronze statues of Molly
Pitcher, General Buford at Gettysburg,
"The Battle of Harlem Heights and
"Sheridan's Ride" have brought him
fame. \ friend Of his said of him:
He has more courage to tho square
inch than any man Of his size I know,
and on several occasions he has been
called upon to show it Unexpectedly.
lone day an expressman, six feet
high and strong in proportion, invaded
his studio. The expressman had over
charged the sculptor, ard the latter de-
sired to refer the matter to the main
ctfice. When the irate expressman en-
tered, it happened that tail friend Of
the artist was visiting the studio. With
an cath the expressman said that he
had come for satisfaction.
"'I intend to smash you to smither-
eens,' he calculated, shaking his fist
and advancing toward the sculptor.
"<Do not wait a moment,' answered
Kelly.
Tho big man sprang at the artist,
and at this critical moment the tall
form of the htter's friend vanished
through the back door. Quick as fash
the SCULPTOR jumped behind the enraged
expressmcn, seized him by the back Of
the neck. and with all the strength he
could summon pushed the burly fellow
to the front deer and kicked him into
the street. 1t was all done so quickly
that the bellicose intruder hardly knew
how 1t happened. He fell on the side
