this one offered by the. aristocratic club
OF people to whom aristocracy is the
breath of life.
There are several clubs in Madrid,
and they differ one from the other
much as our Century or Union League
or University differ from one another
in New York. Like causes produce like
results, and TO a Spaniard the different
clubs of America would be very muSl
alike. just as the different clubs in
Madrid appear to have common
stamp when viewed through American
spectacleS- Externally. no club in the
world could be more perfectly equipped
and managed, considering the objects
in view than the Madrid club. No
where, either in Bond street or in Fifth
avenue. will you see better dressed and
better bred men than in the club OF
Madrid. OF course, in their reading

there was a great abundance of French
newspapers and reviews. as we'll as a.
valuable French and Spanish library.

IL was a kind Spanish friend who
told me that he had made me a tenn
porary member of the club in Madrid.
and, therefore, l lost no time in avail
ing myself of its hospitality. More
than one of my Madrid acquaintance
had assured me that this was the hand
soonest club in Europe; that the carpets
alone cost fabulous amount and were
made in the royal factory of the Span
ish monarch. l entered a grand drive
way and addressed myself to an i'm
presSlVely attIred porter. asking him
IL this was the club that L was seeking.
He apparently understood what 1 said.
for he replied with vivacity and waved
me politely into a marble veStibule
where was an elevator, into which l en-
tered. The elevator stopped after pass
ing one or two stories. and the boy in
charge made me a courteous bow. wav-
ing me out toward two large folding
doors The building occupied the most
desirable portion i'll Madrid and there
was obviously room in it, not merely
for the officers of the company, but also
for dozen clubs if necessary. | pushed
open great swinging door and entered
the apartment beyond. Some thirty or
forty Spanish gentlemen We're lOunging
about this room. some reading the
newspapers, most Of them smoking
cigarettes. They wore upon their faces
the evidence of high-bred indifference
to the presence of a stranger, which
makes club life attractive to those of
US who dislike indiscriminate compan-
ionship. None of these gentlemen be
trayed any antipathy to me as
stranger.
The room | had entered was Obvious
ly the hall, for in one corner L noticed a
recess where coats and umbrellas were
received by an attendant. There 1 de-
posted my stick and would have left
my hat. also. but the polite attendant
insisted upon my keeping it, which. of
course, L did.
Then 1 steered for the first open
door. bent upon studying the geography
of the premises. 1 opened one door af-
ter another, and never before dreamed
that any club could have so many
doors.

THE VIXEN FOR RLUEFIELDS.
Her Trip to the Philippines Will Be
Temporarily Delayed.

Washington, May 5.-An order has
been made by the navy department for
the immediate dispatch of the convert
ed yacht Vixen to Bluefields. Nicar-
aqua.
The Vixen is now a formidable light
draught gunboat. She is at Norfolk,
itting out for a cruise to the Philip
pines, via SueZ route. The order to
Nicaragua will simply delay her ar
rival at Manila, for it is the intention
of the navy department to replace her
in Nicaraguan waters by another gun
boat at an early date.
II is said at the navy department that
no sdvices of late date have been re-
eeived from Bluefields tending to show
the existence of a crisis there. and it
is likely that the purpose of sending the
Vixen is TO replace the Detroit, which
is too large and of too great draught to
render the best service.

Wardner, Ida, May 5.-Ten COM
panies of United States troops. number
ing between 500 and 500 men. are now
stationed in Shoshone county, guard
ing mining and other property, and all
further fears of outbreaks are past.
Three companies are held at Wardner
to guard prisoners arrested Tor alleged
participation in Saturdays riot, and
the other seven companies are station
ed at Mullan, Gem and Burke for the
purpose of guarding all passes out of
the district and preventing the escape
of those suspected of riotinG.
The number of prisoners here is con-
stantly being increased and diminished.
Suspects are being brought in from
various directions and those found TO
be innocent are released immediately.
The prisoners are held in a barn near
the railroad station under a strong
guard of United States troops. They
were taken out for an airing twice to-
day, when the guard was increased to
prevent a possible outbreak. Crowds
of women and children flock about
camp in the hope of getting a, glimpse
of husband or father, who may be
among the prisoners.
The Bunker Hill e Sullivan mine
company has let a contract for new
machinery and timber for the recon-
struction of the mill, which was blown
up a week ago. The mill site. which
covers several acres. is still covered
with broken timbers and twisted and
bent iron beams and boilers. About
100 men are at work clearing the debris
away and within week the site will
be ready for the new building. The
mine is now being operated with about
seventy-fiye men. General Merriam
went to Burke this afternoon on
special train to look over the situation
and to locate the camps in the most
advantageous positions.
The coroner's investigation into the
killing of Smith and Cheney was con-
tinued this afternoon and a large num-
Der of witnesses testified. While the
investigation is private, the coroner
claims that the evidence against sew
eral of the prisoners under arrest here
is conclusive.
The charges against the prisoners
have not been formulated yet. but there
will likely be four charges against
them, namely, murder, rioting, destroy
ing property and stopping United
States mails.
1t is unlikely that all the prisoners
will be tried, but they will be held I'M
til evidence is collected against the
leaders. The trials may be held in Sho-
shone county, but Governor Steunen-
berg will probably appoint a judge and
prosecuting attorney to conduct the
trials, taking them out of the hands of
the present officials.
General Merriam has his headuuar-
ters here, but a special train is held in
readiness to carry him to any part of
the district whenever he is needed.

WHY q. P. OBJECTS.
Reasons For Staying Out of Western
Passenger Association.
(Chicago Times-Herald)


Notwithstanding the fact that west
ern passenger men are going forward
with their plans for the reorganization
of their association in the belief that
the Union Pacific and some other roads
will become members, it is proDhesied
that President Burt's road will not sign
the agreement.
The proposition now before the pas
senger men is to organize an associa-
ton having jurisdiction over the terri
tory up to Colorado common points
namely, Denver. Colorado Springs.
Pueblo and Trinidad. West of the cities
nameCA lie association is to have no
power.
1t so happens that, with the exception
of the Union Pacific, the lines interested
in the movement do not run from Colo
RADIO common points westward into
Utah. The Union Pacific does, and it
is stated that the other lines between
Colorado common points and Utah
points will not become members of any
association. The Union Pacific is asked
to place one-half of it's line in an asso-
citation, and TO operate the other half
Independent of any organization. 1t
must meet the competition of the Utah
lines, but must do nothing contrary to
agreements east of Colorado common
points. Its officials argue that they
cannot conduct their business in that
way without being constantly in
trouble and without being handicapped.
Furthermore, it is stated that there
is little hope that the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern will join the
new association. Neither has been
represented at any of the meetings. and
each is said to have intimated that it
would not join. These two lines are
the hardest competitors of the Union
;oIe af no
cannot see how they consistently can
be under the regulations and rules of
an association and at the same time
meet successfully the competition of
outside lines as strong a sthe Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific.

scHURMAN IS HEARD FROM.
Makes Report On the Conferences
With Filipinos.

Washington, May 5.-The state depart
1lent today received a dispatch from
President Schurman of the Philippine
commission giving the substance OF the
conferences with the representatives of
Aguinaido and asking for further in
structions. While the text of the dis
patch is not to be made public Secretary
Hay stated that it showed very salts
factory condition of affairs in the Philip
pines and pointed TO "a settlement of the
difficulties there.
The reply of the president to Professor
Schurman's cablegram, il is understood,
stated that he was very anxious TO have
the peace negotiations concluded at the
earliest possible moment and to this end
ne desired that no unnecessary or
humiliating conditions should be inn
posed upon the insurgents
1t is believed in administration circles
that as soon as Aguinaldo is convinced
of the sincerity of the American govern
meut he Will agree to surrender. he VIII
be required, however. to lay down his
arms. This will be the principal condi-
ton. and until an agreement on this point
is reached the negotiations will not make
any progress toward conclusion.

Purchase of New Hose and an Ex-
tension Ladder Determined Upon.
The committee on fire and police had
under consideration last evening the
ACCESSIBILITY of providing additional
equipment for the fire department. The
purchase of 1000 feet of standard quail
ity hose at the price of so cents a foot,
and of a lightweight, strong extension
fifty-foot ladder, costing about s125,
was determined upon, and the commit
tee will so recommend to the city coun-
ell Tuesday evening. However, the real
cost of the hose will be only $500, since
the department sold 1000 feet of old
hose last winter to the Diamondville
Coal company to quench the fire in its
mine.
The matter of disposing of two of the
departments old horses to the street

chase of a new team, was referred to
