 Judicial Conception of the Word "Acci-

 ST. LoUIs, Feb. 16.--In a decision of the United States court of appeals af- firming the decision of the lower court, wherein Mrs Sarah I. Smith obtained judgment against the Western Com mercial Travellers association for s5, 900 on the death of her hus- band, Judge Sanborn gives the judicial conception of the word ac- cident Freeman o. Smith died from blood poisoning in 1895, as the result of a sore toe, the skin of which had been abraded by tight shoe. Judge Sanborn held that the death of the defendant had been brought about by an external accident and that it was accidental. What is not the result of design or prearrange- ment," said the judge, ''is accident. No man in tentionally wears the skin off his toes and such injury must be con- sidered accidental"

 sinclined to strike.
 BosToE. Feb. 16.-The proposition of the American Federation of Labor to order a general strike in the textile mills of New England seems to meet with a decidedly cool reception in the manufacturing centers where at pres ent there is no trouble. There are two reasons put forward for this: First, that the operatives do not see what they are to gain by it, and sec ond, they have pledged in the best of faith their financial help to carry on the struggle at New Bedford. In sew eral cities last night the operatives of cotton mills met to discuss the general strike proposition. Only in New Bed- ford was any sympathy shown for it.

REQUIRES A DIRECT ANSWER

President Mckinley Not Satisfied with
 spaiu's Evasive Action in the De Iome
 Matter.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The depart ment of state has notified Minister Woodford to suggest to the Spanish government that a disavowal of the sentiments expressed in De Lome's letter on autonomy and reciprocity might remove considerable misunder- standing which exists i'll this country and would be highly acceptable to this government. This cablegram was sent to Minister Woodford by Assistant Secretary Day, who wrote it by direc- tion of President Mckinley It is mild in tone and not calculated to give offense, but if it does not bring a prompt reply from Spain, a demand" instead of suggestion" may follow. The suggestion to Spain is the result of the unsatisfactory nature of Min ister Woodford's report President Mckinley is determined that Spain shall answer one way or the other whether she indorses De Lome's senti- ments, and will brook no unnecessary delay. Until the question of Spain's sincerity in dealing with the United States is settled, the cable will be used instead of the mails to bring about a speedy understanding.
