CALMER FEELING IN MADRID.
Statement That Minister Woodford IL to
Leave Sunday Is Denied.


Madrid, April "a much calmer
feeling prevails here rejecting the
newspaper utterances and various pub
lished versions of the cabinet meeting.
The statement published in London to
the effect that the United States minis
ter, General Stewart L. Woodford, Is
to leave Madrid on Sunday, Is untrue.
General Woodford reiterated his state
ment that he would not leave until di-
rected to apply for his passports or un-
til they were handed to him. The
minister asserted that he had no inti-
nation of his government fixing a date
for his leaving Madrid. and II might be
taken as fact that no date would be
fixed upon until after President Nc
Kinley's message had been sent to con-
gress, as to leave the Spanish capital
before that would prejudice the whole
case.
The impartial thinks the delay In the
presentation of President McKinley's
message to congress is a good sign, but,
It adds: Nobody Is under any illu-
sions respecting the American policy.
II peaceful prospects predominate they
do so for reasons beyond Yankee con-
troll"
The impartial also says II considers
the action of the powers in Offering
their Good offices az being favorable
to Spain"

Chicago, April S.--Owners Of depart

er McAndrews has had force of in
spectors examining big stores, theaters.
and semi-public buildings In nearly
all cases they have found something to
condemn, and the responsible persons
in each case have been notified to pro-
vide better facilities for protecting the
public against fire, or suffer the conse-
quences. These demands, heretofore
disregarded, have been needed, because
of the increased stringency of the
building ordinance. The Boston store
has complied with the requests of the
department. 1t has cleared the tables

Other department stores have had to do
the same thing. and the facilities for
