At the right of the President sat the
Secretary of State. James G. Blaine. upon
whom all eyes were riveted most of the
time, despite the stirring utterances of
Mr.. Arthur.
At every lull in rhe ceremonies, there
were indiscreet but enthusiastic calls for
James G. -"Blaine''-"Blaine Of
Maine"
Once. when these calls were SO pro-
nounced as to embarrass all on the plat
form, the man from Maine raised his
right hand in depreciation. and shook his
head. That stilled the tumult for time.
and the next time there was an outburst
a member of the Cabinet arose and said:
"You will hear from Mr.. Blaine In due
time"
The announcement was received with
cheers and hand-clapping on the part of
some, while scowls and mutterings were
indulged in by others. New York was
largely represented, and. Of course. many
Of the New Yorkers were admirers Of

CRIME COMMITTED BEFORE A

Adrian Braun Takes Base Advantage
of a Friendly Call from His Wife and
Assassinates Her Three Western
Governors in Pursuit of Outlaws.
A Heinous Crime.

Adrian Braun, u convict in Sing Sing
prison, New York, murdered his wife,
who was paying him visit. Braun was
convicted of having beaten his wife, but
notwithstanding this Mrs. Braun forgave
him and expressed sorrow because of his
imprisonment. When the two met they
kissed each other and were very friendly
They sat half an hour conversing, only a
few feet from the desk Of Detective Jack
son, who was present. Finally the Off
Ger informed Braun that his time was up,
but Braun pleaded for little time longer,
saying: "Can't we have a few minutes
more" Because Of the trouble Mrs.
Braun had taken to pay her husband Il
visit the plea was granted. Suddenly
Braun raised his arm, and the detective
saw the glitter Of long, thin knife. The
convict brought the blade down with fear
full force against the left side of his wife's
neck One cut severed the great blood
vessels and almost instantly the woman
was dead Detective Jackson sprang up
on Braun, but the convict had time to
cash the woman's head several times
more. Two other convicts who were in
the corridor came to the detectives as
sistance and the murderer was subdued.
Warden Sage had him removed to the
lighthouse. Another knife, similar to
the one with which he had stabbed his
wife, was found concealed in his pocket.

Spain Preparing for the worst.
The Madrid public is much exercised
over the report of the presence of squad
ron of United States warships at Hong
Kong, as it is presumed the vessels intend
to threaten Manila, the capital of the
Philippine Islands, in the event of war be-
tween the United States and Spain. The
impartial, in an article headed Ito Ma
Mia, to New York." quotes an unnamed
high parsonage who scouts the idea of i'm
minent rupture, and says: "The presence
of the warships at HongKong Is only
Washington's policy with the view Of con-
tenting the jingoes." The high person
age" is said to have added: "But America
has not so many warships as to warrant
such bold action. If the Yankees go to
the Philippines the Spaniards will go to
New York. The Globe remarks: The
Government is alive to the critical situa-
tion and is silently preparing for the
worst. But it is too diplomatic to dis
close the procedure by which 1t is pre-
pairing for emergencies. Fortunately the
tranquil prepa rations of the Government
are the best assurances that it will be
ready when the occasion requires -. The
public, seeing the GOODNESS Of Senior Sa-
gasta, should comprehend that he means
acts and not words. However limited the
public's confidence in the premier, they,
like ourselves. have confidence that better
days will dawn promptly"

CARNEGIE ON SHIPS.
ADVOCATES BUILDING THEM
NEAR NEW YORK.
Materials Cost Much Less than In
Scotland, and Much Repair Work
Could Be Secured-Dry Dock Part OF
Eouinment-Convict' Queer Vow.
Might Again Beat the World.

Andrew Carnegie writes letter for the
Iron Trade Review, in which he says:
Nav | call attention to the field which IS
open for a first-class shipbuilding yard
upon the Hudson, East river, or Lower
bay, near New York? The prices paid
for steel by British and German ship
Yards are so much higher than shipbuild-
ers in New York would be required to pay
that the difference would make, in itself,
an excellent profit. Plates are worth
about 500 or $23 per ton in New York.
The quoted price at Glasgow is nearly
$50. Other prices are in proportion, and
all the woodwork of ships is also much
cheaper with us. If yard were built
to-day with the newest appliances the to-
tai cost of labor, even at much hlgher
wages, would be less than in any ship
ward I know of, either in Britain or Ger
many. I name near New York as the
best for several reasons: A shipyard there
would get repair work, which is always
profitable. A drydock could be part OF the
equipment, which would also be highly
profitable. Two years hence the cost OF
transport upon steel, delivered at the ship
yard at New York from Pittsburg, will
not exceed 81 per ton via Conneaut and
the deepened Erie canal. Indeed, 1t Will
be less, since it will cost nothing to send
steel to Conneaut in cars which otherwise
must return to the lake empty for ore. Inc
present seaboard shipyards are so useful
ly occupied with domestic business that
they cannot give foreign business proper
attention. The New York yard should be
constructed on larger scale and with
reference to the foreign demand. l am
satisfied that the United States can read
lily regain the supremacy in shipbuilding
it had when wooden ships were in vogue.
1t only needs an enterprising Western
shipbuilding concern to establish yard
near New York and manage it with the
skill and energy which have characterized
those On the lakes. This is the only
prominent department of manufacturing
in which our country is behind, and it is
one In which it easily can obtain front
rank

Dimp1e Is a Fake.

Because, as she alleges, her handmade
dimple did not show when she smiled. and
for other reasons, Miss Helen Brooks feels
damaged in the sum of $5O, 900. She lives
in Denver and wanted to become beautl-
full. With that end in view she engaged
a archaeological institute of New York
to make extensive repairs and alterations
to her face. Miss Brooks says the 1oD
was fzzlc, and she has begun suit in the
Supreme Court to recover damages. Her
face will be offered in evidence as people $
exhibit A. Having read voluminous ad-
vertisements, Miss Brooks made, she de
clares, several trips from Denver ana
paid 1915 to have her features remod-
eled ut the institute. That was in April
1896. She asserts that the two wrinkles
in her brow were to be obliterated by re-
moving some of the scalp and drawing the
skin back. This was also expected TO
make the arched eyebrows horizontal. In
cisions in the upper eyelids would, she was
told, render the optics larger and bright
err. Her ears, she also claims, were to
be whitfield down and brought in contour
with the rest of the face, and cunning
little dimple in the chin was to complete
the rejuvenating process. A doctor over
hauled and made these extensive repairs
on the face of Miss Brooks, she says, and
the lady weeps now every time she looks
in the glass. The dimple that was to be,
she contends. is nothing but a scar, one
ear is shorter than the other, and the lobes
curl outward like the edge Of gooseberry

Falling Off in Wheat Exports Made Up
in Corn Shipments.

railing Ok In y" neat Tx ports MaQc Up
in Corn Shipments.
Bradstreet's says: Nearly all signs
point to an unprecedented volume Of bust
ness being done or arranging for at the
present time. The aggressive strength of
prices, notwithstanding bank clearings ana
continued large exports, particularly Of
the lower-Priced cereals, q very heavy
volume of business in iron and steel and
kindred lines, and generally satisfactory
reports as to the volume of spring trade
at leading distributive centers are among
the visible features of this trade develop
ment. Few decreases in prices are noted,
sugar being the most important, while the
list Of staples steady and unchanged num-
bers pork, coffee, lead and print cloths.
Trade is larger than usual at the central
west, particularly in dry goods, groceries,
boots and shoes, hardware, lumber and
agricultural implements, the demand for
the latter being a notable feature at near
II all markets. Spring trade has opened
up well in the northwest and the jobbing
trade is quite active. A further shrink
age in wheat exports. but n corresponding
enlargement of the shipments of corn and
the lower-priced cereals, Is indicated this
week. The total exports Of wheat, flour
included, from the United States and
Canada aggregate 3,252,OO bushels,

exports amount to 5,054, G94 bushels, as

Effects of War in Cuba.

Before leaving Santiago de Cuba the Of
fcers of the Montgomery gathered such
data as to the state of affairs in the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba as their short
stay would allow. The province of San
tiago de Cuba contained PCT 81 inhab-
tants at the last census. Since the out
break of the present war no accurate es-
innate of the population has been made.
Before the war the city Of Santiago de
Cuba had 56,776 abitants. This has
been reduced to about 3O 600 by the de-
parture of most Of the able-bodied men
to take part in the war. This loss of pop
ulation was in spite Of the quarterlng
there of about 5000 laboring people from
the surrounding country. In October
there were 253 deaths in the city; In NO
vember, 800: in December, 424, and III
January, 4SG. During the first week in
February the mortality was only one
half of the weekly average Of January.
This marked decrease is attributed to the
free distribution of quinine from the Uni
ted States consulate There is but one
means of public relief in operation at
present, and this is known as the cocina
economico. 1t Is under the mana cement
of a German subject named Nicholson.
The cocina economico is supported by vol
untary contributions Of the citizens Of
Santiago. The Spanish government has
not aided this charity as yet, but the au-
Economist governor. Senior Capules, has
promised Mr.. Michaelson 81 1000 toward
it's maintenance. Wood and coal are given
in addition to food, and there does not
appear to be any urgent need of further
assistance from the United States for the
city of Santiago de Cuba. Eighty-nine
citizens of the United States are now sup
piled with rations from the United States
consulate

Letters Manager Predicts that Wheat
Will Reach $3.50 Per BusheI.
The wheat market has eased up some
lately, but it is predicted that the next
wave will carry prices beyond all recent
marks. May wheat dropped slowly from
$1.O6 to $1.0271a bushel as a result Of
frantic struggle of the Shorts There
seems to be no further doubt concerning
scarcity of wheat in all the primary mar
kets. Receipts at Duluth and Minneapo-
lis are steadily falling off. Armour Is
shipping wheat to Chicago. A careful
estimate shows 100000 bushels of wheat
in northwestern elevators, and not more
than 100000 bushels in farmers hands.
This is not more than enough to keep the
mills going. In the meantime Letter is
shipping his wheat to Liverpool In just
sufficient quantities to keep England from
starving. George French, Letters man
ager, predicts $50 wheat before the next
crop is harvested. 1t is rumored that Ar
mour is a convert to higher prices for
wheat. Farmers are generally holding
what little wheat they have, confident
that they will profit by it.

Insurgents Try to Blow Up Senator

Senator Proctor, Col. Myron Nj. Parker
and Miss Clara Barton, president of the
Red Cross Society, had narrow escape
from death at the hands of the insurgents.
They arrived in Havana and told Of the
Illustration of plot to blow up the train
in which they were travelling to Matan-
zas. The insurgents did not know Ameri-
cans were ON board, but they thought the
train bore a detachment of Spanish Off
GERS from the palace. All the telegraph
wires were cut only eight miles east Of
Havana, where the Cubans had planned
to demolish the train The Spanish troops,
however, learned of the cut wires and met
the Cubans in bloody engagement. AL
though the insurgents were inferior in
numbers, they killed five and wounded
many of the Spanish soldiers.
