spain Again a storm Centre.

Judging from this mornings news, the
downfall of the Sagasta government at
Madrid is but the precursor of violent and
doubtless revolutionary events. which are
not likely to be long postponed. The
tendency 10 a general outbreak has been
apparent throughout Spain for months. The
long -befooled Spanish people are stupid
with amazement at the effacement of their
country from the colonial map of the
world, and are quite ready 10 believe the
monarchy and all its agents and higher ad-
herents responsible for the calamity. An
ignorant and irascible commonalty, under
such conditions, is the easy prey Of dema-
Eogues and adventures, and the unfortu-
nate kingdom is full Of such gentry
Exactly what form the impending storm
may take it would be impossible now TO
say. No one knows the relative strength
of the Carlists and Republicans, both OF
which factions have been waiting impa-
tlsntly for an opportunity to oyerturn the
dynasty and the existing order generally.
Ether of these elements. if backed 10y the
c0uspiring generals who like Weyler. have
no particular love for the Queen and little
Alfonso. might be strong enough to seize
power. Possibly in the end, the whole
matter viii result in placing either Don
Carlos or his son on the throne. What
might be called a republic by way Of 4
temporary makeshift would in reality
smount to nothing more than military
Dictatorship. As that kind OF government

The cabinets of Europe. and they would not

AS always happens in the case of any
Spanish proposition. il will depend largely.
and perhaps wholly, upon who can offer
the most aIluring bribes 10 a few leaders
who are regarded as holding the balance Of
power between the factions. One thing
seems to be settled, and that is that the
present throne is bound TO be demolished.
Queen Regent Christina has not been
popular at any time. and her unpopularity
has not diminished any since the war with
america Her latest action in appointing
General PoIayieja TO the war portfolio, has
simply destroyed what little credit she

Rrdeeming the Desert.

One Of the features of the closing night
Of the Fifty-fifth Congress was a lively
effort made by Senator Carter to secure
the passage Of an appropriation bill. The
object OF the bill was TO provide for the
watering Of the arid lands in Montana,
Nevada and other far Western States,
al the Government expense. 1t is said
that this measure, if it had been sue
cessful. would have added immense tracts
of land to that already under cultivation
in the Northwest.
The proposition however, in connection
with the immense amount CT good already
done by similar irrigation schemes in the
West, suggests an interesting train of
thought. To the members of the First
American Congress it would have seemed
utterly absurd that large tract of land,
practically a desert in its natural state.
could be made fit for the habitation of
human beings. They could have under
stood the principle as applied to a small
farm, but the idea of making half State
arabic by any such means they would have
dismissed as a chapter from Gulliyer S
Voyage to Laputa." Yet the thing has
been done, not once or twice. but many
times What is more, il is averred that
the climate as well the soil of some
OF the Western States has been changed
by this means. and that Nature, in soli-
iudes once fit only for the coyote and the
sage-hen, is now fostering the efforts ol
man TO establish homes. What fairy tale
of Dean Swift is more marvellous than
this?
Another fact which is known to scien-
tiic men is that the cutting off of forests
in many States is not only affecting the
water supply, causing floods and droughts
alternately. but that it actually changes
the climate to some extent, making il
more changeable than in former years
This is one of the strong arguments fol
the preservation of our forests by law
agains the reckless depredations of the
lumbermen. With all the materials
now at hand for fuel and building pur-
poses, there is no need that We should
lose our forests; and If the present un-
scrupulous waste of timber continues, ii
will not be long before some other Sec
tions of the country besides the far

(From the New York Herald-)
DIR. Schott, of Naulieim, Germany. who has
devoted considerable time to the study OF bicy-
cling from hygenic point OF view, gives these
facts the results of his studies:
Bicycling, just mountain climbing, acceler-
atcs the action of the heart. and thus quickens
the pulse. This naturally tends to enlarging
the heart during action. process which during
rest takes backward turn, and the vital organ
resumes its normal state.
BY violent or, say, excessive exercise on the
wheel. when the pulse heats at 40 per minute,
the conditions change. The expansion OF the
heart does not fall back to the normal, as is
best proved by the fused up look Of the cycle
racers after tournament. Should this tsrained
exercise continue the enlargement OF the heart
continues with it, and fatal results inevitable.
The older the wheelmen the easier do the
muscles of the heart assllBe-ssBdue proportions,

TURMOIL AT HARRISBURG.
Legislators iDenOunee Published
Report of Fridays Proceedings.

Harrisburg. Pa, March 6.-When the
comparatively few members of the house
of representatives, who are in the city,
surprise in store for them. A member
from Philadelphia examined the bound
copy Of the Legislative Record" which
is placed upon each desk, and found that
it contained a stenographic report of the
proceedings of both houses on last Friday.
The Quay men professed the utmost sur
prise and indignation at the discovery, ani
denounced the report of what they term a
'rump organization on the files as an in
suit TO the dignity of the house.
The law under which the Legislative
Record" of Pennsylvania is printed, is a
regular one, differing from that in force
at Washington, and most of the States.
The work is done by the government
direct, but by contract at so much per
page.
The contractor furnishes the stenograph-
ers who make the report. and is naturally
willing TO have as many pages as Dossi-
BILE. The Record is only regarded as a
semi-official document, the journal kept
by the clerk being the recognized authori-
ty. Still, it is published by contract with
and under the direction of the General AS
sembly.
The Record" for Friday last not only
contains full report CT the proceedings of
the two houses. but of brief personal dis
pute between Speaker Farr and Represen-
tative, Bliss and others, after the former
had declared that the house had adjourned.
Also by some mistake of the stenographer
w. c. kreps, of Franklin, one Of the most
radical Quay Republicans in the legisla-
ture, is made to participate in the organi-
Zation of the anti-Quay house. and to ad-
dress parliamentary enquiry to Mr.. Bliss
after the latter had been chosen chairman
on motion of MIR. Fow, of Philadelphia
Kreps is very wrathy, and promises tc
make all sorts of trouble for whoever was
responsible for the use of his name in sucf
a connection

action to be taken in the premises.

sent From His Home.
New York, March 6.-John Ballard Mil
Ter, an inventor. with an Office in Manhat-
tan. has been missing from his home. in
Eighty-th third Street near Twelfth Avenue.
Dyker Heights, Bay Ridge, since January
% last, when he left Bay Ridge TO meet
friend in Manhattan.
His wife, formerly a Miss Eberhardt,
whom he married last September, is almost
Frustrated by his disappearance. Neither
she nor Mr. Mller's friends can explain
his absence. Mrs. Miller fears that some
harm has befallen him.
There is a mortgage ON the Miller home
which was purchased from Walter john
son, and it is thought possible that certain
installments shortly due on the property
caused Mr.. Miller much worry. But this
fact his friends say, can in no way be con-
nected with his disappearance.
Mr. Miller left his home. as was his Gus
tom, on the morning of January % last
to go to Manhattan. He remarked to mis-
wife that he had an appointment with 4
friend named Cushman at the Astor House.
He did not return that day nor the next.
When a week passed without any lidings
of her husband Mrs. Miller became much
worried. Trusting, however, that business
was responsible for her husbands S absence,
Mrs Miller said nothing about it until an
other week had passed without any I'D
ings. Then friends were informed and a
systematic search for some trace OF the
missing man was begun.
1t was learned that Mr.. Miller met Mr..
Cushman, as arranged, and after complet-
| ing his business with him arranged to
meet him again in the afternoon. He fall
| ed to do so, and from that time all trace
| of him was lost. So far as is known, he
| did not have any great amount OF money
| when he left home. He was not drink
| ing man and his habits were always regu-
| lar.
He is described as being about feet II
| inches in height, with iron gray hair and
| mustache. He wore a fashionable gray

Howells puts into the mouth of mis- AL
trurian suggestion On this line. In
telling of the Altrurian Department of
Public Works, he says that one of the
first things accomplished by it was the
cutting of a canal through an isthmus
which connected the continent with the
mainland, so that the equatorial current
could llow along the shores of the coun-
try: and he states that by this means the
climate was changed from inhospitable
bleakness to balmy warmth. Changes
greater than anything in the fanciful de-
scTiptions of this book may yet be
wrought by American skill and inventive
genius in years TO come. We may dis
cover, one of these days, that we are not
only shaping laws and customs, but a
continent for the home of the greatest
people of the world. In European coun-
uiss engineering skill has grown but
slowly, with the growth of the nation
hampered by the greed of kings and the
hindrance of foreign wars. Here we have
free hand. The science developed
through many generations comes in the
prime of its strength TO land unmarried
by the hand of man. We have no ruler
but ourselves. The will of the people de-
termines what this continent shall be
whether il shall be made desolate by the
greed of few. or beautiful by the en-
lightened effort of the many; whether oul
children's children shall have healthfu
and delightful home, or whether they shal
work all their lives TO undo the conse.
quences of our mistakes. Which shal

Mur1NY OF AN OIL CARRIER.
Three RingIenders shot by the YES

SefS captain
Philadelphia, March 6.-Captain Tor
rance of the oil carrier TancarvilIe, which
has just reached port, told an exciting
story of the steamers last trip to Bel
fast. 5it.i.
The run was devoid OF unusual interest
until January %, when-a strong gale from
the northwest sprang up. For three days
the storm ragged. causing spare propeller
to break from its fastenings and roll from
one side of the vessel To the other. II was
feared that the propeller would eventually
tear hole in the ships side and sink her.
1t was decided 10 summon all hands to put
the wheel in safe place. To Captain
Tcrrance's surprise only the officers re-
sponded to his call The rest of the crew
refused to leave the forecastle.
With a loaded pistol Captain Torrance
ordered the men to work. Before they
would yield three of the ringleaders were
shot. one of whom died before the vessel
reached Belfast
Another of the crew became so badly
frightened that he lost his reason. TIE
Wounding of the ringleaders caused the
others to return to duty and the propeller
was made fast. Captain Torrance was ex-
onerated by the authorities at Belfast
