nection With Leans to Pensioners.

torneys for S.iolation of law in lending
money to pensioners on certificates depos-
tied collateral took place this afternoon

sistant District Attorney J. e. Laskcy.
while Attorney r., C. Taylor looked after
the interest of Mr. Warning,

sums since them. but never when his { Il
titeate was not i'll his tRay's) possession.

Representative Hit Of Illinois. chairman
OF the House committee on foreign affairs,
Is still confined 10 his home. and there is
no prospect that he will be able either to
attend the sessions of the committee or the
House during the stirring events of this
week. This is regarded as unfortunate in
some respects, but Mr.. Adams of Pennsyi-
vania, the acting chairman, has had diplo-
ma nc experience as minister to Brazil dur
ing the Harrison administration and Is re-
sarded as fully capable of handling the
resolutions when they are presented to the

FAILURE OF popE.s INTERVENTION
vatican Officially Notified That Such
n Move is Impossible.

LONDON, April "a special dispatch
from Rome, published here this afternoon,
saws a telegram received at the Vatican
from the United States has announced the
failure of the popes Intervention. 1t says
that President Mckinley showed himself
extremely sensible of the initiative taken by
the pontiff, but it was impossible for him
to overcome the prejudice even though 1t
may be unjust, entertained by majority
of the American people against the Nati-
cans intervention in political affairs.

only when the United States threatened
armed Intervention II 1t was not done.
Every other prcmise had been postponed
and DELAYED, 1t was the duty Of the Amer
lean CongrHas tos Intervene for the Cuban
republic The government OF Cuba ought
to be recognised. aAaintained and supported.
Ar. TurpfS said4t had cost us millions to
shut on the supply OF ammunition which
would haveffatted the Cuban government to
secure its freedom. He denounced In scath-
ing terms fhe mahner in which Spain had
conducted TIE waA In Cuba, especially the
starving ofthe people there.
He said fb was aonly the Spanish Moloch
who woulT say. ,asuffer little children to
come unto he ana we will starve you to
death" ..
He said De LONE YVES typical of that d.
piomacy which meets a man with smile
and attacks him behind his back with
sneers and deceit Spain countenanced him
on his return after his insult to the gov
eminent and the people Of the United
States. t =
The senator then took I'D the Maine and
SAID the Spanish authorities had made no
attempt ate TO discover, the perpetrators of
that crime. The destruction of the Maine
was an insult that could only be replaced
by making it impossible for it to occur
again. by placing Cuba and Havana out of
the power of Spain forever.
Mr. Turpie said the cause of the war
was Spanish sovereignty and dominion in
cuba, and until this was removed there
could be no peace.
Mr.. Turpie concluded at 1:3O pm At
the conclusion OF Mr.. Turpie's address Mr..
Lodge asked the Senate to reconsider the
vote by which 1t yesterday ordered the
printing of 5000 copies of the Maine report
and concur in the House bill providing for
the printing of 10000 copies of the report.
6oln requests We're complied with.
Sundry Civil Bill.
The Senate then resumed consideration
OF the sundry civil appropriation bill, TAX
ing up the amendment suggested by the
committee, vacating the executive order of
February y, 1897, setting aside large tracts
Of land in the western states for forest re-
servations.
The amendment was considered on the
basis of Mr.. Chambers suggestion amend
ing the amendment so as to limit the revo-
cation to year.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Black tiers of people from gallery rail to
wall again encircled the House when 1t con-
vened at noon. Feverish expectation that
possibly the Presidents message might go
to Congress today drew thousands to the
Capitol. The diplomatic gallery was crowd
ed. 1t was known on the fioor that the
message would not be transmitted until to-
morrow.
Under the arrangement made last week
to-day was set aside for the consideration of
bills on the private calendar.
After dispoSing of some minor bridge bills
and pension bills coming over from the ses-
sion last Friday night the House resumed
the consideration Of the John Roach claim,
which was the unfinished business.

Basis of Pope's Initiative.

ROME, April 5.-The popes initiative is
based wholly on the fact that Spain, when
she asked for the good Offices of the pow
ers, also asked for the popes good offices.
The interposition of the pontif has thus
far been confined to efforts to bring about
an armistice between Spain and the insur-
gents.

Provisions Down.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The sharp break
in prices in Wall street to-day was due to
thofreports that yellow-fever had broken
out among the American forces about
Santiago. The proportions OF the break in
prices is a demonstration that there Is an
enemy in Cuba which is more feated than
the Spanish army. There was undoubted-
ly a good deal Of liquidation. induced by
the reports, but there were also the OBJ
vious ear-marks Of bear raid, in the
piling up Of all sorts of alarmist rumors.
There was an extensive covering move
ment in the final dealings, which caused
substantial rallies all through the stock
list, and the speculation in bonds as well.
Net losses Of between one and two points
are nevertheless very literally sprinkled
ali through the list.
There was an extensive movement 10
realize also In some or the junior mort
gage bonds, which have been advancing
during the last few days. The reaction IN
these was as sharp as in the stock Iist,
but there was a large absorption at the
decline, and an easy rally in most cases.
BOND MARKET HEAVY.
The market was heavy from the start
on London selling based on the decreased
estimates Of the government crop report.
The peace rumOrs which carried up
Spanish as sharply had no effect on
