ALIENS PROTEST.
A.ssention Directed to the Remarkable

A.Nsention Directed ia the Remarkable
Scene in the White House April 7.
WASHINGTON, April 8 .-Mr. Allen
tNeb.) said he wanted to call attention
to the remarkable scene that had &C.
Cured at the White House on April Z.
He referred to the call of the represen.
tatives OF six great powers upon the
president and to the exchange of notes
on the Hispano.American situation.
He declared that no similar scene had
ever been witnessed in this country.
Il want to register my protest." said
Mr.. Allen, against the representatives
of the so.called powers of Europe en-.
rering the White House and telling
this country what it shall do. cannot
understand why the president did not
inform them that this country would
not tolerate any interference from
them; yet here is the first step towards
the breaking down of the Monroe doc.
trine, and the destruction of the nation.
And it is understood that these same
so.called powers ara to go further and
make another assault upon the White
House with more pressing demands.
Within six months, these same powers
will be urging the United States to
agree to arbitration in order that our
liability for Spanish. Cuban bonds may
be determined"

New YORK, April l8.-Bradstreets
says: The effect of the prevailing un.
certainty in foreign affairs il reflected
in a further ~perceptible quisting down
of general trade, 80 far as future on.
gagements are concerned, in nearly all
parts of the country. While there is .
little more activity to be noted in the
demand for seasonable staples at the
West and Northwest where better
weather has helped retail and wholesale
trade alike, rather more quiet is re.
ported at the East and at the South
Atlantic and Gulf ports, where the in.
terruption to business has become par
ticularly serious. The disposition to
buy only actual necessities has devel.
oped a hand.to.mouth demand in the
latter sections of the country, but the
chief effect is found in the indisposition
to embark in new enterprises or to
rontract new obligations pending the
definite settlement of the foreign con.
trOyersy.

Diplomatic Corps in London FL
nally Abandons Hope Of Sue
.cessful Mediation,
Great Britain Steadily Refusing
the EntreatieS of Austria
and Spain.
St. James Gazette Publishes an
Article on an ~"Anti-.American
Holy Alliance"

LONDON, April lS.-The members Of
the diplomatic corps in this city have
now abandoned ali hope of etfectual
mediation upon the part Of the powers
between the United States and Spain.
The Spanish and Austrian ambassa-
doris, however, cling tenaciouslv to the
delusion that they VIII be able to ar.
range, at the last moment, a compro.
mise which will avert war. They have
haunted the British foreign office for a
week past, calling daily, and occasion.
ally more often. They arrived there
early in the morning and for q long
time conferred with Sir Thomas Ander.
son, the permanent secretary OF the
foreign Office, who appears to be wear.
led Of their opportunities. Their efforts
were seemingly rewarded with little
encouragement.
So far as can be learned, the ambas.
sadors Of Spain and Austria made nc
definite proposition, although they be.
lieve a scheme is still possible by which
Spain can be induced to offer real II
oessions, which they think the United
States would accept, providing Great
Britain can be persuaded to unite
with the continental powers in making
further representations to the United
States and ~endeavoring to bring
pressure to bear upon Spain. They re.
aliZe that without Great Britain's CO..
operation nothing can be accomplished,
and it appears to be most doubtful that
Great Britain will participate in such
a concert. On the other hand. it is
certain Great Britain Will maintain the
policy which she has steadily adhered
to, that of refusing to take Il step
which may be distasteful to the United
states

AN ELECTRIC FLUID.

Discovery Which Promises to Revolu.
tionize Many Things Announced.
LONDON, April 1S.-News has been
received here that Rychnowsky, the
electrician Of Lemberg, claims to have
discovered an electric fluid, which he
calls ''electrois." The discovery has
caused a great sensation on the cont.
nent. He obtains it by ~electrolysis. but
it is not identical with electricity. Its
effects are declared to be startling, pro.
ducing light, and causing Geissler
tubes to emit f1uorescent rays. 1t
works photo-chemically, rotates objects
in midair, produces whirlpools in
water and kills bacteria. Metal and
glass thereby can be charged with cleo.
trjcity, and the magnet needle changes
direction under its influence.

Germany Too. the Lead.

BERLIN, April lo.-It is learned from
an authentic source that Germany took
the lead in pledglng the continental
powers to maintain absolute neutrality
in case Of war between the United
States and Spain. The greatest resis-
lance offered to Germany's proposals
was from France and Austria, who &C
guessed only with the proviso that
Europe is to have something to say
towards the end, or after, in settling
the peace conditions.
