There are still other feelers being put
out by inspired newspapers. Today, they
an feel, or affect TO feel that the plans
TO purchase Cuba, or to guarantee the
Spanish debt. or to force autonomy up

dead and buried. They may be. but We
do not dare to be so sure about il. 1t Is
too recently that Congress was put 10

nose while il slept. for us to be quite
sure on that point Some journals as
sumo confidence that President McKin-
ley will begin proceedings by recognizing
Cuban independence, or recommending
that course in message. Perhaps he
may. and possibly without any string at
tachment. If he has the courage AMI
wisdom to do so, he will find the whole
nation acclaiming his action, and ready
to fight with and for him. But il is al
most too good to be true. There still is

ARROGANT FIDALGoS.
They Feel Certain That America Is
Afraid of Them.

Madrid. March 21.-The situation of the
cabinet. and incidentally of the dynasty,
is considerably better than it was last
week since the people are gradually
being brought to believe by the minis
terialists that Sagasta has managed to
down the United States and to humble
its pride without the spilling of a drop
of Spanish blood
OF courses note is being taken here of
the continuance of the war preparations
in the United States, and of the endeav-
ors of the latter to compete with Spain
in the purchase of cruisers in Europe
But not much stock is taken of this
since il is held to be partly a species of
bluff on the part of the United States
Government designed to satisfy public
sentiment and partly to the obligation
to make good use of the $50 100000 voted
by Congress the other day for purposes
of defense. AS to any question of toler
ating American Intervention in Cuba,
there is less idea of that now than ever
before. Indeed, people are now begin
ming to doubt whether the United States
had ever really thought of venturing up
on such thing.

sympathy which II has manifested for

ii is accorded a respect very different to
the contempt that falls to the share of
America.

SHORTAGE Is CHARGED.
Officials of Queens County Alleged
Guilty of Fraud

New York. March 21.-President Fred
erick Bowley, of the Borough of Queens.
has announced that an official in one of
the departments of the borough was
short in his accounts. The president
would not tell the name Of the official or
the department with which he was con-
nected. The amount is said to be close
to $1,000
President Bowley said that Corporation
Counsel Whalen and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel jerks, in Brooklyn. had
been informed and that steps had already
been taken by them to recover the
amount of the shortage The bond CT
the official has not been found although
a search has been made for it. The man
accused was in the department when
Long Island City became part of Greater
New York. The alleged shortage was dis
covered by Expert Shipman, who was
named by Comptroller Coler to examine
the accounts Of the different boroughs a
the time of the consolidation. The accus-
ed official is said to be in the water de-
partment.

HELD UP A REVIVAL.
Oklahoma Bardits Rob Who e
Congregation.

Guthrie, o. T., March 21.-Four masked
men rode into the little town of Hawley,
Woods County, on Saturday evening, and
finding practically the entire population
of the town attending revival services at
the Methodist Church proceeded to hold
up the congregation.
The minister was praying when the rob-
bers appeared at the door and they wait
ed for him to conclude before they started
their mission. Then came the order
hands up" which was obeyed promptly
by every person in the house.
While two of the bandits covered their
victims with revOlvers. the other two
took up the collection" not sparing even
the preacher, from whom they secured 50
or 81. The few nickels and dimes that
had been taken up by the deacons at a
previous collection were also taken, after
gathering in all the money and watches in
the church.
Two of the robbers visited the stores of
the town and took all the money in sight
while the other two herded the towns
people in the church. All four then rode
off south into the hills. A posse went in
pursuit, but with small hopes of overtak-
ing them.

FOXES IN THE STREET.
Residents i'm Queens borough Chase
Them for Sport.

New York, March 21-Since the con-
solidation of all the territory now con-
tanned in Greater New York there have
been a great many peculiar and unusual
things noted as coming within the
borders of a great city. but no one has
probably thought of the fact that there
are wild foxes running the streets OF
New York city But it is a fact. and
the writer Of this less than a week ago
saw two of them trotting leisurely along
THOMPSON Avenue, not far from the
county court house in Long Island City
OF course they are not so plentiful in
the thickly settled portions. but in 9TH
ers. it is common sight. Around Wood
side and Blissville, for instance, they are
constantly robbing hen roosts and cara
rying off eggs in broad daylight.
They are very plentiful in the vicinity
of Hampstead, and but few persons care
to shoot them, as there is more sport
in trying to capture them alive When
alarmed they make tracks for the near
est cemetery, where, they seem to un'
derstand, no one is allowed to hunt them.

MURPHY FOR GOVERNOR.
1t WOuId Make n Place in the Sem
ate for Croker.

New York, March 21.-There was a be-
lief among politicians yesterday that Sem
ator Edward Murphy, jr., will be in the
thick of the fight next Autumn for the
governorship of this State.
An interesting development of this be-
lief was the announcement that with it
would come the entrance into the United
States Senate of Richard Croker.
Senator Murphy after short visit to
town went back to Washington yester-
day. Mr.. Hill, who was also here, re-
turned to Albany. Before taking a train
Senator Murphy said he had no imme-
date intention of becoming a candidate
for the governorship.
But it can be stated on most excellent
authority that the senator during his visit
here was importuned to seriously consi-
der the proposition. Those who would
like to see Richard Croker in the United
States Senate seem, to have been most
solicitous in their appeals. Even Mr. Hill
appeared to be pleased when it occurred
to him that the nomination of Murphy
for governor would give him chance to
return to the Senate himself.

British Military Officers Here

Major Gen. Gascoigne, of the English
army. visited the city last week and
was the guest of the British embassy
From this city he returned to Canada,
via Philadelphia and New York, max
ing short stops at both places. Gen.
Moore commander-in-chiefo of the Eng
lish land forces in North America, is
also making visit to the United States
and will probably come to Washington.
The movement Of these high officials
of the English army has attracted some
attention i'm view of the active prepara-
tions for war in this country, and they
evidently timed their visit so that they
might take notice of the preparations.
II is not thought that their visits have
any special significance other than a
military interest in noting the move
ments incident to placingca great coun-
try like America on war footing.

ENGINEER MENocAL's DEFENSE
He VIII Claim That He Had No
LnoxxI.dre of Faulty Work.

New York, March 21.-The naval Court
of Inquiry sent here by Secretary Long
to investigate and try Civil Engineer A.
G. Menocal L. S. N, for alleged cuipaoIe
negligence in the construction OF the Gov
ernmcnt dry dock No. g. at the Brooklyn
navy yard. has postponed its hearing in
definitely.
In spite Of all the efforts at secrecy and
the reticence Of the officials of the board,
II has been learned upon the very best
authority that Lieutenant-Command
Menocal. when he is brought to trial. will
disclaim all responsibility for the faulty
and defective work done on the dock. he
will hold to the statement that when the
defective work upon the timber cOnstruc-
ton was done, he was in Florida on
Government mission from the Navy De
partment on tour of inspection. This be-
ing the case. eTwilE argue, he should not
be held to account for the poor construc-
- ton. --z--~
The Court of Enquiry may convene in
day or two. or possibly be deferred for a
week or more. In the meantime the Off
GERS comprising the Court will remain
within easy reach of the navy yard. most
of them staying in New York. The mem
bers of the board sent here by Secretary.
Long are: Commodore II. L. Howison;
Captains II. F. Pickering, c. S. Cotton.

Engineer Menocal will be tried upon
two charges. one alleging inetficiency in
the performance of duty. and the other
neglect of duty. Each charge is support
ed by specifications reciting in detail the
specific manner in which the officer was
negligent or inefficient in the supervision
of the dock construction.

DIR. ZECHOS DEAD.
The Cooper Union Curator Succumi y
to Heart Failure.

to Heart Failure.
New York. March 21.-John Celivergos
Zachos. who was for twenty-seven years
curator of Cooper Union. and among
whose pupils were some of the most
prominent men in business and profes-
sional life in this city, died yesterday at
his home. No. 113 West Eighty-fourth
Street, of heart failure.
DIR. Zachos was best known as an edu-
Gator of young persons, and had many
friends in New York city, especially
among the younger men who attended his
classes in Cooper Union and remembered
him always afterward. He was very fond
of young men, calling them his boys 8"
and today there are in this city many
who have already achieved success who
can look back to the days in Cooper
Union when DR.. Zachos was their friend
and instructor. Recorder John W. Goff
was one of DR.. Zachos' favorite ''boys -
Peter Cooper was close personal friend
DR. Zachos was born in Constantinople
Turkey. on December %, 1870. He was
of Greek parentage and came to this
country when he was ten years old with
DR. Samuel @. Howe, Of Boston to be ed
ucated. He studied in Amherst for a
time. but was graduated from Kenyon
College, Ohio, in 1910. and I'm 1928 studied
at the Medical School of Miami UNIVERSE
ty but did not take his degree. He was
associate principal in Cooper Female
Seminary. Dayton, Ohio 1S51-i and later
became the head of the grammar school
of Antioch College.
During the civil war he served in the
Union Army as assistant surgeon, and in
1865. having studied theology privately, he
was ordained pastor of the Unitarian
church in West Newton. Mass. In 1867
he was pastor in Meadville. Pa. and pro-
fessor of rhetoric in the theological school
at that place. He had been the curator
of Cooper Union since 1871

MONDAY, MARCH p, 1898.
The Climax of the Crisis.

From all the indications, this week is
destined to be a notable one in the an
nails Of the country. The Maine report
is on its way from Tampa, in the Gus
tody of Captain Barker of the Navy, and
will arrive in Washington tonight or to-
morrow morning. Ii Will be discussed al
the regular Tuesday Cabinet meeting. and
then the President will consider whether
he will send it all to Congress at once,
or suppress the most exciting part of it;
or reserve the whole thing until he has
taken diplomatic action which Will COM
init the nation to given policy in re-
gard to the massacre, whether Congress
indorses il or not. This much We CLEAN
from the various remarks Of the Admin
tration press this morning, as well as
some other things of more than ordinary
interest at this crisis. Two powerful in
fuences are mobilizing their forces in
Washington for the impending struggle
for and against the honor Of the American
people One is the non-partisan patriotic
element in Congress. The other is the
army of trusts. monopolies, and the Span
ish-Cuban bond conspiracy. The first is
already skirmishing to hold the Admins
tration to a sense Of American dignity
and duty. The second is using all The
wiles and menaces of Wall and Lom-
bard Streets TO drive Mr.. Mckinley once
more into the slave pen Of the peace
with-dishOnor element. Which belliger-
ent viii win in the preliminary contest,
no one can predict. But the friends Of
country and Of freedom gravely need TO
be on the alert for surprises and perhaps
for treachery.

LECTURE BY EUGENE DEBS.
Explanation of His Plan to Beneht
the Musses,

Baltimore, March 21.-Eugene V. Debs,
of Chicago. lectured here yesterday at
ternoon to large s-audience N
which he gave a description of his pro-
jected "co-operative commonwealth :
plan. Among other things he said:
THE American people are thinking
more now than ever before. They are
asking why it is that under this flag of
forty-five stars they must gather their
rags closer to them in order not to touch
in passing the silks their hands have
fashioned; that they are barred, as
pestlence, from the palaces their labor
has erected. Shall not labor come into
it's own?'' he cried with upraised hands
and eyes. 1T shall The darkness of
the night is passing away and joy COM
eth in the morning e..
Labor has been steadily reduced un-
til il now touches the dead line of degra-
dation. Suppose ] were n physical gian',
and went about the streets of Balti
more oVerthrowing and trampling down
men. women, and children, making them
my slaves by virtue of superior physical
strength. l would soon land in jail, and
you would say it was right. But suppose
my mental interiors, harness them, drive
them into coal mines and factories by
the thousand: that | may revel in lux
ury and wealth. In what respect is an
intellectual highwayman better than
physical highwayman? A human life is
better than all the material wealth of the
world. / am very sure that YOU will
agree with me IL ii is your own life in
question. WITHOUT industry all life rs inn
poverished, and yet industry has been
seized and debauched by the individual
for his own advantage, while the great
masses of men have become hewers of
wood and drawers of water.
'In some Northern factories they have
ceased to barter for the individual, but
hire the family as a whole In some of
these mills but $3.50 per family is paid
in week. The child OF the toiler can no
longer go to school. He must earn his
bread or starve. for his father and mother
can buy but enough bread TO keep them
selves alive. In the Southern cotton fac
tories some children work for 9 1-2 cents
a day. or 81 cents per week.
There is a pardoning power in Siberia,
but none here under this capitalistic sys-
TEN. The former chattel slave was a
dignified integral part of humanity COM
pared with the modern wage slave. Even
the machine that labor produced, which
was intended as a blessing to labor. has
now become its worst foe. The saddest
message a man can take to his wife now
is that he has lost his job. He finds all
doors of opportunity double-barred
against him.
Mature and the best instincts of man
have made everything cooperative he
declared. Just think of the solar sys-
tenn working under the competition plan;
each planet trying to do business for it,
self. The social democracy has nothing
palliative to propose, except an organic
change of system. There shall be exact
economic equality between man and man.
If men are fit to be political equals, why
should they not be economic equals2 Po-
litiCal equality was at first thought TO be
an insane proposition. but has been sue
cessful. We demand an economic democ-
racy as well as a political democracy.,, -
