reference to his recent terrible bereave-
ment, commanded instant attention.
He spoke of the terrible suffering he
had witnessed on the island and said
the government OF Spain has not and
will not appropriate one dollar to save
these people. Discussing the remedy
which should be applied to the evils he
found, Thurston said:
'I counseled silence and moderation
from this floor when the passion Of this
nation seemed at white heat over the
destruction of the Maine, but 1t seems
to me the time for action has now come.
Not action i'm the Maine case. 1 hope
and trust that this government will
take action on the Cuban situation en-
,trely outside OF. the Maine case. When
the Maine report is receiyed. If II be
found that our ship and sailors were
blown up by some outside explosion we
will have ample reparation without
bubble or delay, and If the eXplos' on
can be traced TO Spanish official sources
there will be such swift and terrible
punishment administered as will re-
main a warning to the world forever.
1T was the plain duty of the presi-
dent OF the United States to give to the
liberal ministry Of Spain a reasonable
time in which TO test its proposed au-
tonomy. That time has been given.
Autonomy is conceded the wide world
over to be a conspicuous failure. The
situation in Cuba has only changed for
the worse. Sagasta is powerless, Blan-
co is powerless, to put an end to the
conflict to rehabiitate the island or to
relieve the suffering. starvation and
distress. The time for action has then
come. No greater reason for it can be
expected tomorrow than today. Every
hours delay only adds another chapter
TO the awful story of misery and death.
Only one power can intervene-the
United States of America"
Any hope congress and the people
may have had of getting the report on
the Maine wreck Saturday was thwart-
ed when the senate voted to adjourn
to Monday. Allison moved that when
the senate adjourn il be to meet Mon
day next. The motion prevailed, Ma

The Alleged swindIer Taken into Custody
at 1T. Paul.
ST Paul, March 25.-Six hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars is given as
the amount of money James II. South
all secured by means OF fraudulent
time checks. St. Paul banks hold $780,
600 of these. but none Of them more
than $4,000 individually. st. Paul in
dividuals hold $4,000 more, $4,000 be-
ing held by one business man, who dis
counted the paper at II to Is per cent.
Minneapolis banks and individuals are
caught for about $4,000 and Minnesota
county banks have $4,000 mere, the
rest of the worthless checks being held
by banks from Fargo. s. d.. to Hart
ford, Conn. A little of the paper, about
$4,000. is reported in the hands of Chi
cago parties.
OF this stupendous amount Southall.
who lives unextravagantly with his
family at ST. Anthony Park, hasn't a
dollar left. All of it appears to have
been sunk on the Chicago board of
trade. Since Southall left the employ
of the government last summer he has
run a bucket shop here under an as
sumed name. The public had become
very much exasperated at the slowness
of the government when at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon dispatch came from
the department Of justice at Washing
ton ordering Southalls arrest. The
warrant was prepared by District At
torney Singer and served upon South
all at O'clock.
The Bank of Merriam Park has failed
on account of the time check fraud.

SHOWS pINGREE's STRENGTH.
Result OF Test Vote in the Michigan
Legislature.

result OF Test vote IN the Micnigau
Legislature.
Lansing, Mich, March 25.-The
strength of the opposing factions in the
two houses Of the legislature is be-
lieved to have been fairly tested and
the result tallies with the claims that
the anti-Pingres people have been
making for several days. That is. that
the governors bill will have votes TO
spare IN the house. but will lack at
least two votes of passing the senate.
These ssg1reS refer 20 the bill as intro.
duced and do not apply if the measure
is amended so as TO give the senate the
power to confirm nominations of MEM
bers of the board to assess the prop
erty of corporations or so as to make
these members elective,
These votes were taken in the two
houses on the same resolution. Under
the constitution the legislature in spe-
cial session can legisate only on such
subjects as are recommended in the
governors message. and the Pingree
document mentioned only the property
of railroad, telegraph, telephone and
express companies, recommending that
ii be assessed at its actual value. On
the plea that property of all descrip-
tions should be treated alike in this re-
spect, and as the official records show
that property in the state as a whole is
assessed at only 3S per cent. of it's
value. the -Pingreeites offered res
olutions asking the govern to prepare
another message covering the general
subject of taxation so that all property
could be taxed equally.
Governor Pingrees friends opposed
the resolutions asserting that the OBJ
ject of the enemy was to make way
for the Introduction of flood OF bills
which would preclude the possibility
of the enactment Of any legislation at
this session. They polled sixty votes
in the house to thirty-five by the op-
position. but in the senate could muster
but fourteen, while their opponents
numbered sixteen. One of the fourteen
was Senator Hughes. who is sure to be
unseated before the vote on the bill is
taken. The results warrant the pre-
diction that the Pingree bill must be
in essential particulars before
II can become a law at this session.
