Fight On SALISBURY
Divides John Bulls Attention
With the Spanish Crisis.
CHINESE GORDON'S SCORN
Is Recalled at This JunCture
in British Affairs.

copyrighted 1898 by the Associated Press
London, April 3.-The crisis between
Spain and the United States is hard
pushed for first place in public interest
here by the question as to whether or not
the Marquis Of Salisbury will retire from
office, and the consequent reorganization
OF the cabinet. The Conservative newspa-
pers, particularly in the provinces, are
in open revolt. The National Review
sums up the bitter denunciations by quot
THE British race is a race of lions led
by asses
The discomfort is so widespread that the
idea is rapidly gaining that a crisis in the
history Of the Unionist party will soon be
reached. The consensus Of opinion in
clines to the belief that the Marquis of
Salisbury, yielding TO the advice of his
friends, will retire from the foreign Office,
but will remain premier. A certain amount
Of color is given 10 this belief by Fridays
semi-official rumor that the queen will
eonfer upon the Marquis the lord-lieuten-
Rncy of Middlesex and the question Of his
manner. The enemies of Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, are diligently circulating the
report that he aspires to succeed the Mar
quis of Salisbury, which is farthest from
his thoughts at present. Mr.. Chamberlain
knowing that his Liberal Unionist friends
would desert if he tried for the foreign
office. Political club circles consider that
as the Duke Of Devonshire is assured the
premiership If the Marquis of Salisbury
retires altogether, Mr.. A J. Balfour, the
first lord of the treasury, acting secretary
of state for foreign affairs and govern
ment leader in the house of commons,
will succeed his uncle in the foreign office.
This is considered undoubtedly to be the
outcome if Mr.. Balfour can overcome his
objection TO elevation TO the house of
lords. Failing him the foreign office port
folio will probably be offered to Lord Gro
mer with the possible succession of Mr..
George n. Curzon, the parliamentary sec
rotary to the foreign office, who in spite
Of his conceited mannerisms, has greatly

The marvellous hardness of the foreign
office in receiving officially news from
China, which is first published by the
newspapers, drew from Mr.. Curzon, reply
ing to Mr.. John Dillon, the leader of the
Irish Nationalist, an amusing explana-
ton. He said ne would hesitate to say

That Monetary Convention.

-
Those business men discussing the
money question at indianapolis have
but one object in view. They desire to
establish the gold standard in the
United States.
This monetary convention has not
been assembled to discuss what is best
for the people, but to devise means by
which the hands of the money power
may be strengthened. Were it not for
the free silver majority in the Senate
the Republican party would place the
yoke of gold on the necks of the tOilng
masses without an instant's delay. For
tunately this action is out of their
power.
Pretending to advocate sound money.
the members of the indianapolis con-
ventiOn are in favor of debauching the
paper currency of the nation, making it
unsafe, unsound. unsecured. In order
that the banks may secure larger prof
its, these men are willing to return 10
the dark days of wild cat money.
So anxious are they to kill silver"
they have suggested the redemption of
silver dollars in gold, thus creating an
endless chain more extended than that
of the Sreenbacks, which they would
destroy.
They wish to add an interest-b bearing
debt tcosting the nation S13.00O.000 a
year. to the burdens of the people in
order to take 'the government out of
the banking business" Their PROPOSE
tions are unsound and Inconsistent

Republican Anxiety About 1900.

The action of the United States SEN
ate in declaring in favor of the free
coinage of silver is a fair indication of
the trend of public opinion on the sub
ject. The people regard with equanim-
ity the possibility of the restoration of
the white metal to its former monetary
uses. But if this is not to be one of the
issues of the campaign of 1900 what
will the Republicans 90? They have

proposal of McKinley's Secretary Of
the Treasury, to turn over the furnish

A CLAIMS Brain.

1t Is only within a comparatively
short time that the existence of an or
gan properly termed brain in the
lowest orders of animals has been rec
ogniZed. OF course, very far down in
the scale of creation one finds hardly
more than n system of nerves and
ganglia. with nothing especially recog
nizable as representing a brain. But
even clam may be said to have sort
of brain, though it Is extremely small
it can be dissected and properly identi.
fled as the thinking center or principal
ganglion of the creature. This princi-
pal nerve bunch or ganglion has direct
control over the sO-called foot" of the
clam. When it comes to the higher
mollusks, such as the squid, nautilus,
argonaut and other cephalopods, it is
found that they possess quite large and
welldeveloped brains.-Philadelphi

Breadwinners OF the United States.

In 1870 there were u 500, ,923 persons
engaged in supporting themselves and
the remainder of the people-that is to
say, 32.43 per cent. of the total pOru-
lation were so engaged. In 1880 the
number Of breadwinners was 1929
O99, or 34.61 per cent. of the total popu-
lation. In 1890 this number had risen
to 22,735, ,661, or 1851 per cent of the
total population. By "breadwinnerS"
is meant all who are engaged either as
wage earners or salary receivers, or
proprietors of whatever grade or de-
scripuon, and all professional people
in fact, everyone who was in any way
employed in any gainful pursuit. The
figures quoted show that the proper
tion Of the total population thus en-
ployed is constantly increasing. Anal
yzing the statistics, we find some re-
markable results, and in general that
the number engaged in the lowest
walks of business, laborers and the
like, is decreasing IL proportion, while
those employed in the higher walks
are increasing In number relatively to
the whole population.

DUELlNG III EUROPE.
Some Peculiar Methods Among til

Some Peculiar Methods Among the
Italians and Spaniards.
Though forbidden by law and punish
able by Imprisonment in a fortress,
dueling Is very common among the Of
f1cers Of the German army, says Cham
bers' Journal. Until recently they have
been bound by the military code of
honor to accept challenges, though they
were not allowed to fight a tradesman
In 1887 an officer was expelled from
the army for refusing to accept chal-
lenge. But the Emperor of Germany
prohibited dueiing short time ago
and decreed that disputes should be
settled by court of honor.
In Austria the duel, though less COM
mon, is far more deadly than in France
and Germany. Pistols are the usual
weapons and the antagonists are
placed only few PAGES from each 9th
er. With the sword long and furious
duels are also fought out. Both mill
tary men and civilians fight with great
bitterness.
Russian duelists stand fifteen yards
apart and they are allowed to advance
five PAGES at given signal and fire at
will. If both parties advance to the
limit before firing the distance between
them is reduced to five yards. Shou'1
one fire and miss the other is allowed TO
advance his five PAGES before returning
fire. Sometimes one is mOrtally wound
ed before firing, but has still sufficient
strength left to advance five yards.
take steady aim and shoot his opponent
dead
In the Baltic provinces this san
culinary method is replaced by one still
more horrible. The combatants stand
only three PAGES apart; the pistols are
held pointing upward, and at given
signal they are lowered and discharg-
ed. 1t would seem impossible to avoid
killing ones man at such close quar-
tiers, but this is not the case. The duel
lists are both so anxious to get the first
shot that both often miss, the sharp
downward movement Of the arm caus-
ing the bullet to be buried in the
ground or only wound the lower ex-
tremities. Sometimes four or five
shots are exchanged without either
party being injured.
Among the hot-blooded Italians and
Spaniards dueling is common every
day method of settling disputes. The
sword is the usual weapon, though the
stiletto is also frequently used. Some
times in order tO inSure tho deafh Of ot
least one Of the combatants, they are
tied foot to foot and fight it out with
dagsers.

MCkinIey'S Two Policies,

The continued persistence of President
Mckinley in the startling act of riding
two horses ut once in the ring must at
some time give way and be abandoned,
but it is very significant while the per
torrance lasts. Here we have Mr..
Secretary of the Treasury Gage, not
only drawing up financial bills of the
highest importance, proposing the abso-
lutte reversal of our national monetary
policy, but even going before the House
Committee on Banks and Currency to
advocate them. and bringing all the
weight of his official position and all the
prestige of his high office to bear to for
ward the cause of gold monometallism.
On the other hand. we have Senator
WolcOtt. of Colorado, accusing the Sec
retary of grossly misrepresenting the
freSidents true interests and purposes,
charging Gage with having put forth
forged and fictitious statements" and
alleging afresh that the President earn
eSly desires bimetallic international
agreement and the restoration of silver
pearances amuSe the observing public.
But the time is approaching when one
or the other must be discontinued.
Iii the days when Mckinley typitied,
as his followers said. the coming of
prosperity, and before the time wnen
his tariff and his gold policy made the
country Sc familiar with adversely, ev

silver money, but was parading as a

can have no effect except that OF post
ponement of his real purposes, and the
announcement of them must some day

Wolcott will be disavowed and disap-

John Bulls Puddin o.

A terrible indictment has been
brought against the famous English
Christmas plum pudding. 1t is sup
posed to be typically John Bullish. and
yet we are asked to believe that most
of its ingredients are foreign-Greek
currants, American plums, candied
peel from anywhere, except England,
and - eliminating atrocity - French
brandy. The only consolation found is
that the cinnamon comes from Ceylon.
which is at least British possession.
1t is, indeed. blow to find that the flag
on which the sun never sets does not
cover the materials for an English
plum pudding. This is even worse
than importing the roast beef Of old
England from Chicago.
