ANOTHER RAsCALLY SERVANT.
He Loans Banks Funds Illegally and
Winds Up by Suicide.

Philadelphia, March 26.-The sudden
death Thursday of John s. Hopkins,
cashier of the Peoples bank, and the
assignment made Thursday night by
the Guarantors' Finance company, were
followed yesterday by disclosures which
showed an important connection be-
tween the two events. The coroner's
investigation developed that Hopkins
had committed suicide by shooting him.
self, and an examination of the affairs
Of the Peoples bank by it's officers re-
suited in the revelation that Hopkins
had during the past two years loaned
the banks funds in large amounts to
Richard r. Lopez, general manager Of
the Guarantors' Finance company.
These loans, which remain unpaid and
aggregate, 1t is said, over 100000, were
made wholly without the knowledge Of
the officers and directors of the bank.
The securities given by Lopez as coll
lateral for the loans were found, ac-
cording to the statement of one of the
banks officials, to have very little value.
In consequence of these relations the
bank closed its doors indefinitely.

Object Of Which Is tn Permit Lake Ship
yards to Build Warships.
Milwaukee, March 30-A movement
was started yesterday trending toward
the abrogating that part of the treaty
Of 1918 between the United States and
Great Britain which stands in the way
of the United States building warships
at the shipyards Of the great lakes.
Steps have already been taken looking
to action by congress annulling
the treaty. The Milwaukee Journal
prints an editorial pointing out
the advantages to be gained by such a
change of policy; the abrogation would
leave Canada and this country on an
equal footing.
The treaty, the editorial says, ties
one of Uncle Sans hands in case of a
naval war with any other power. In an
interview with a Journal reporter p
prominent ship builder of this city mads
mention of the various shipbuilding re-
sources of the great lakes, noting what
great factor they would be in case of
war. 1t is understood that the different
chambers of commerce at all cities on

err to further the movement

CONGRESS IN BRIEF.
Synopsis of the Proceedings of the Ma
tional Lawmakers.

Washington, March 26.-The house put
in yesterday trying to pass the naval
appropriation bill. Because the speak
er refused to permit debate on any sub
ject member chose a filibuster was
inaugurated that took up almost the
entire session, and but four pages of
the bill were gone over The senate
was not In session.
Washington, March 28-During the
debate on the naval appropriation bill
Saturday In the house every utterance
in favor of aggressive action against
Spain was applauded to the echo by the
crowded galleries. A strong effort was
made to increase the appropriation for
the naval reserves, but it failed. An
other effort to have the government
uniform the naval militia also failed.
The main contest of the day was over a
proposition to decrease the number of
timber dry docks authorized by the
bill from four to three, and 1t failed
Washington, March 29.-The report on
the Maine explosion and the president
message thereon absorbed congress yes
terday Every foot of space in both
chambers was packed and the interest
was intense. The reading of the mes
sage and report was listened to intent
ly and eagerly in both houses, and at
the conclusion the documents were re-
ferred to the foreign affairs committees
of both houses, and that ended it except
the excitement. In the senate Money of
Mississippi told what he had seen in
Cuba and charged that the starvation
of the reconcentrados was deliberately
planned by the late Canovas, who pre-
ceded Sagasta as premier of Spain. The

Washington, March 30.-Interest IN
the Cuban situation-the interest might
almost be termed excitement, so in
tense was it-reached climax in the
proceedings of the senate yesterday.
AS on previous days of discussion of
the Cuban question thousands of peo-
pie locked to the Capitol, only few
of whom comparatively could gain adj
mission to the galleries. Within five
minutes after the senate convened AL
len Of Nebraska introduced a resolution
recognizing the independence of the
Cuban republic. This was followed by
a resolution proposed by Rawlins of
Utah declaring war against the king
dom of Spain.
Foraker then introduced a resolution
declaring for such intervention in the
Cuban war as would bring about the
independence of the Cubans. Following
this came resolution by Frye of Maine
demanding that Cuba be made free.
The resolutions followed one another
so rapidly as almost to stun the au-
ditors, both senator's and spectators.
The galleries were in a .commotion and
the people were prepared for anything.
This wss the condition when the vice
president recognized Mason Of Illinois
for'his announced speech on the presi-
dents message transmitting to con-
gress the findings of the Maine court
Of inquiry.
Mason read his speech from manu-
script, but IT was delivered with all
the vigor and fire of which he is capable.
The intensity of the feeling of those in
the galleries was evidenced by the storm
of applause which was elected by his
declaration that he was for war. The
speech was full Of denunciation of
Spain and 5paniards. After Mason's
speech the senate passed seventy four
private pension bills and followed this
order with eulogies on the late Senator
Earle, of South Carolina, one of the
most remarkable OF which was pro-
nounced by Tillman, longtime
political opponent of General Earle.
The house quietly considered private
bills, devoting most of the day to the
consideration of the bill to pay certain
claims for stores and supplies fur
nished to the Union by loyal citizens
of the south during the war. There
was bitter contest over a claim for
t217 900 by the heirs of the widow of
Gen. Robert K. Lee. She inherited the
claim from Mrs. Fitzhugh, her aunt who,
it was admitted, was loyal. The claim
was finally stricken out. but the house
took recess before the bill was paeao6

would be regarded as Jusr In amount by
the United States and other nations of
the world, and fair to both contending
parties.
The matter of an armistice has not
been agreed to by either this country or
Spain, though there is no doubt that
Spain suggested an armistice. What
terms Of peace will be acceptable to the
president cannot be stated, but it is as
serted that no proposition will be con-
sidered that does not involve the prac-
tical If not actual independence of the
Cubans. Under these circumstances the
members of the administration think 1t
only fair to the president that the peo-
pie should wait with patience the re-
suit Of the pending negotiations, since
there is no more loyal American, or one
who will hesitate less than he when the
hour for action has arrived.

NEGOTIATIONS GOING ON AT MADRID
Tension Is Very Great, but the Spanish
Capital Appears Serene.


| Madrid, March 3O.-Beyond the fact
| that a few policemen and a couple Of
civil guards stand outside the Ameri-
can legation there is absolutely no sign
in Madrid Of the tension between Spain
| and America. So far as the general
public Is concerned the matter Is little
discussed, even the press being gener-
ally hopeful of a peaceful settlement
The note Minister Woodford presented
is practically a repetition of the one
presented in September, which, in the
interests of humanity, asked Spain for
an immediate cessation Of hostilities in
Cuba. Upon SPANS reply to this hinges
the conference held at the presidency
yesterday afternoon, at which Senior
Sagasta, the premier; Senior Gullon, the
foreign minister; Senior Moret, the min
lister for the colonies, and General
Woodford were present, and at which 1t
had been hoped a decision would be
reached.
Both governments are absolutely
agreed as to the desirability Of a settle
ment," said a diplomat to the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press, but
the tension is so great between the two
that 1t would only take a little further
strain to split the hawser" The
Madrid press yesterday printed a bare
half column Of the report Of the Amer
lean court of inquiry. General Wood
ford's conference with the Spanish min
listers was of an hours duration, and
the ministers continued In elaboration
after the United States minister with
drew. The conference adjourned to
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. United
States Minister Woodford seemed
pleased with the result and every indi-
cation points to a settlement.
In the course of an interview after
the conference Senior Sagasta said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press that United States Minister Wood
ford asserted that he desired on that oc-
casion to express the desires of his gov
eminent on the subject of the situation
In Cuba and Of the concentrates. Senior
Sagasta added that the conference de-
cided some of these points. and that he
had promised to study General Wood
ford's propositions and to submit them
to the queen regent and then to a cab
met council.

washington, March 30.-The cabinet

situation or ignorance of the presidents

Cabinet at Madrid as to the Situation.
Washington, March 3O.-Congress and
the cabinet divided attention yesterday
on the Spanish situation. In congress-
the feeling which began to take form
after the presidents conservative and
pacific message on the Maine report
was submitted Monday found open ex-
preston in resolutions proposing a
declaration of war, recognition Of the
independence Of Cuba, armed interven-
ton and other decisive and war-like
steps against Spain, and in conferences
Of Republicans having for their
object the overriding Of the
speaker, If necessary to get
prompt action. On the floor, In the
cloak rooms, in the lobbies and in the
corridors, there was little else discussed
than the Cuban situation and the
marine disaster. Every senator and
the testimony and every person who
could procure a copy read it. Every
group OF senators in the cloak room
talked of Cuba. Constant and continual
conferences were held, and all recog-
nized the seriousness of the situation.
House Likely to Break Loose Soon.
On the house side it was apparent
that the Republican majority could no
longer be controlled by what is known
as the conservative element led by
the speaker. Groups of members in a
state of excitement were to be seen on
every hand. In each cloak room there
were members listening eagerly while
portions of the Maine testimony were
read. Members of the committee on
fdfeign affairs grouped together and
discussed plans and possible future pro-
ceedings. 1t was generally acknowl-
edged that q serious condition had
arisen; that a crisis was soon at hand.
1t was the opinion of some of the con-
sentative members that in day or two
the feeling would subside and members
would not be so agitated.
Next Few bays Will BE Momentous.
Much depends upon the next few days.
That congress will not long remain in
active If some decided action is not
taken by the administration is certain
1t is also true that the talk of an
armistice caused a great deal of Ill
feeling. The house proceeded to do
business without outbreak yesterday or
without dramatic incident, but no such
quiet can be promised today, when the
naval bill Is being considered. The day
closed with q prospect that the COM
mittees to whom were referred the
Maine correspondence will act soon,
possibly before the end Of the week.
