a quaint wedding custom still pre-
walls in many OF the little country
towns and mining villages IL Scotland.
When wedding is held, the contract
ing parties make their guest pay in full
for the eating, drinking and dancing
facilities which are usually provided
on such occasions. The practice still
seems to survive even in Glasgow.
This week a correspondent observed

MILD As BEFORE.
SPAIN APPEALS TO THEM.
Pressure TO he Drought to Bear on
Washington to Give Spain Time to
Try the Armistioe Recently Pro-
chained Russia and GER
many May Spoil Move
by staying out

WASHINGTON, April IS. 49, II was
learned last night, in high diplomatic
quarters, that an exchange of notes
has begun between the European
capitals, with view 10 making strong
representations on the Spanish-Amer-
lean situation. In the same connec-
ton, an informal meeting Of the am
bassadors and ministers IN this city of
the six great powers of Europe was
held late in the day
The same exchange occurred week
ago, as n preliminary TO the joint note
of the great powers presented to Pres
ident Mckinley mildly urging a peace
ful settlement with Spain. II is under
stood, however, that the present
movement Is not of the same mild
character as the former one. Simul-
taneous with the opening of the ex-
change, word came from Madrid that
the Spanish government was about to
Issue another appeal to the great
powers of Europe IL is understood
that this appeal is an initiatory to the
concerted action of the powers, and
there is apparent agreement in ad-
vance that the appeal will receive
favorable consideration.
II is said that Spain's appeal will
recite her grievances against the
United States, stating in detail the
many concessions she has made, and
pointing out that it was In response
TO the urgent representation of the
six joint powers that the last conces-
sion of an armistice was granted.
II the powers determine to act, their
influence probably win be particularly
directed toward inducing the United
States to grant Spain sufficient time
within which to try the arIaistice re-
Gently proclaimed.
During the recent joint action of
the powers, their main influence was
exerted at Madrid, the only
action at Washington being the cc1r-
teous expression of hope for peace.
But the present movement contem-
plates that the influence shall be ex-
erted at Washington rather than at
Madrid, and II is the common belief In
diplomatic quarters that the Madrid
authorities have reached the limit of

A BITTER SPEECH.
Senator Turner of Washington savagsiy
Attnoks the Presidents Message.

Attnoks the Presidents Message
WAsHrSeToN, April 15-In the Sem
ate yesterday Mr. Turner, Populist, of
Washington criticised the administrs-
tion for "the vacillation and irreso-
Lutte, cowardly aad pusillanimous poll
icy pursued by it in the Cuban ques-
tion. He said that the developments
OF the past two weeks had shaken his
faith in those who held the Presidents
ear and confidence.
Mr.. Turner declared himself strong
ly in favor of the resolution presented
by the minority OF the committee on
foreign relations He said he
needed no further justification than
the magnificent state paper which ac-
companied the majority report He
declared, however, that the Same ma
levoleut influences which had para
lyzed the executive and almost caused
the people TO revolt, were still at work.
If these influences should succeed the
whole country would know the dis
graceful story and the nation would
be shamed.
After vohemently attacking the
President for the delays which had
occurred in the sending of his mes
sage to Congress, Mr.. Turner charged
that the delay last week was not due
TO the request of General Lee, but to
the fact that Archbishop ireland had
cabled to the Vatican in the hope that
the pope might be able to bring sbou I
a peaceful solution of the difficulty.
The President was waiting upon the
pope and action taken to secure that
which American diplomacy had failed
to obtain.
Mr.. Turner ridiculed the diplomatic
negotiations of the administration
and demanded to know whether Con-
gress wanted more of IL. He declared
the state department, even with the
support Of the department Of justice,
was weak and unavailing.
The flashing sword of the United
States must be drawn for Cuban in
dependence, and it would be welded
by an arm stronger than ever. Once
uplifted, it should never be lowered
until Spain was driven from the West
ern hemis phere

oREwsoME GOLDEN WEDDING.
All the Male Guests Present Were Pub
lie ExeeutioneTs.

All the Male Guests Present were Pub
lie ENecutioners.
From the report OF the celebration
of the golden wedding of William
Reidl and his wife at Magdeburg, Ger
many, and the silver wedding Of his
son Frederick and his wife, It is TO be
inferred that hangmen are not held in
such disfavor by the women Of Ger
many as the fair sex OF other countries
eyince toward men OF this profession
AT the celebration there were present
300 men, whose occupations were the
same-the execution OF criminals the
majority Of them being accompanied
either by a wife. sister or sweetheart
The elder Reidl is chief executioner OF
the domains Of Kaiser Wilhelm. while
his son Frederick is also a public exc
cutioner Of long service. The eldest son
OF the latter is a soldier in the German
army but his father declares that as
soon as he Is discharged he will secure
him place where his work will be OF
exactly the same nature as his fathers.
The old gentlemen is only 73 years Of
age, but he boasts that he has only il
more people TO string up on the scaf-
fold IN order to have made the record
OF sending 1000 persons into eternity
by his own hands. The son has a rec
ord OF little more than one-third of
this number. Although brought TO-
gether for the purpose OF doing honor
10 Germany's chief executioner and his
son, the assembly OF executioners ae-
tually turned itself into a convention
OF hangmen. The various new meth
ods OF killing of murderers were unan-
imously condemned. and the old-fash-
toned hanging method was pronounced
the one most satisfactory from every
standpoint The men came fIom every
part Of Wilhelm's empire and Included
all the executioners OF note. The
wives and sweethearts intend to or
ganize a club for the purpose Of aiding
the widows and orphans OF the men
their husbands hang.

TALK OF A VETO.
Report That Mckinley VIII Not APP

Report That Mckinley VIII Not APP
prove Recognition Resolutions
WAsHISoToN, April 15.--A report Is
current that the President will
promptly sign and execute either the
house or the Davis resolution, but that
he will veto any measure recognizing
the independence of the present in
surgent civil government of Cuba
Great Britain is said to have int-
mated to the President that recogni-
tion of the independence of the insur-
gent government would cause England
TO align herself with France and Aus
tria, on the ground that it would, in
principle, countenance every upstart
revolutionary movement IN foreign
possessions In the Western hemisphere
under the semblance of a republic
A supplementary reason assigned
for the Presidents alleged purpose Is
that the nominal civil government
elected by the insurgents has been
lavish in placing bonds for services
and influence, TO be validated when
Cuba's Independence is assured and
the government is recognized.
President Mckinley favors the House
resolution, but will accept the Davis
resolution # both houses adopt IT,
1t is claimed that large blocks of
Cuban bonds have been transferred TO
certain Eastern newspapers in consid-
eration of their services In advocating
independence.

THE passage Of the Cuban resolu-
