WHEELER ARRIVES
 IN WASHINGTON The Little General is a Picture
 of Health. AN lICIPATES NO TROUBLE As Yet There is No Evidence of Any Intention to Challenge His
 Right to a Seat in
 Congress
ANTICIPATES NO TROUBLE

Washington, ID. C.. March 16.-(Special)- General Wheeler arrived here this morn ing, and is a picture of health. He report ed at the war department, saw the presi- dent, and urged an immediate acceptance of his resignation, rendered before opening of congress.
 He proposes, as soon as the resignation Is accepted, to present himself at the bar of the house to take the oath of office. General Wheeler anticipates no trouble. There is no evidence yet of any intention to challenge his right to a seat, chiefly be- cause the resignation was offered before congress assembled and the failure to ac- cept it was~not his fault, but because the president wishes him to draw travelling pay.
 It is understood here that Senator Till man will leave for Birmingham shortly to speak there on the dispensary system. The impression prevails that Tilman's purpose is to aid the candidacy of Johnston for senat tor against Morgan.

 NOTHING JUST NOW
Message Sent to President Kru- ger Telling of Her Ina
 biIity to Act.

Pretoria, March 14-Via Lorenzo Marquez. Thursday, March 15.-The German consul has handed the following dispatch ito Presi- dent Kruger:
 "The government of Germany and the emperor will be glad and ready to assist in friendly mediation as soon as the funda- mental conditions to such are apparent-as soon as 1t is demonstrated that both op- ponents desire mediation. Whether the desire already exists on the British side can be found by the republics on diplomacy at London, or through the good offices of a third government, which has no important interests of its own to consider in South Africa. The latter assumption is qualified with a number of nations in and outside of Europe, but not with Germany. Amy such steps on the part of the German govern ment would awaken suspicious of other than a Humanitarian view. The increased mistrust thereby engendered would not promote peaceable settlement The re- qGest of bhe, republics to transmit their ap- peal for mediation to the Austro-Hungarian and Swiss governments whose interests are watched by the German consulate has been immediately fulfilled"

VISITORS ARE
 LEAVING HAVANA
Every Steamer is Crowded With
 Passengers to United States
TO AVOID THE QUARAN TINE
General Gomez Publishes a Letter in Which He Says the Cuban People Are Trying to Shake Off
 Intervening Power

Havana, March 16.-Every steamer leav- ing Havana nowadays takes a full compile ment of passengers, and passages are booked ahead until the end of the month by people desiring to evade the quarantine. The steamship hnes say that the traffic from the United States during the last few months has been greater than ever before. Both the local press and the merchants complain of tine enforcement elf the quar- anttne at so early a date. This time of the year is invariably cle most healthful. 1t is suggested that the quarantine be post poned to ApIdl 15 or May 1.
 Many large capitalists have been looking over Cuba. Reports from the boards of trade in many large American cities as well as representatives of some of the larg- est business houses have visited the island with view to future possibilities. In a few instances -there have been lange pur- dhases of land, notably the purchase of Nipe Bay by an important fruit company.
 General Maximo Gomez publishes let ter he has recently written to his son in San Domingo. In the course of it he says.
 Cuba fought to shake off "a power that oppressed her. She is now endeavoring to shake off an intervening power, although not in an ungrateful way. There Is no breeeh of public order, although the peo- pie are passing through trying times. The only thing that could be spared are the American bayonets. General Wood and Mrs. Wood would be just as safe if left absolutely alone here if they had mill llon soldiers around them Tine police and the regular guards are idle I could go from one end of the island to the other loaded with gold without fear of any loss As for myself, l don't Glave the money 1 need, but it is because don't wish to have it., for 1ienty has been offered me; but I don't pay for lighting, telephone or for ste'51nsi my horses and I am not charged carriage hire"

CRAVE DIGGERS ARE
 FORMING A UNION
Every Body Must be Buried in a Un ol Cof- fin or General Strike Will be
 Ordered in Chicago

Chicago, March 16.-The Times Herald to- morrow will say:
 Unless a body goes to its last resting place in union-made coffin 1t will be re- fused burial in the cemeteries of Chicago and vicinity, if the plans of the labor unions to organize a grave-diggers union are carried out. Already they have com pelled the placing of the union label on every cradle manufactured, and it is the avowed object of the union to unionize everything from the cradle to the grave inclusive.
 "A committee has been appointed by the wood workers to unionize the coffin fac tories. They will begin with a factory on Carroll avenue. They will insist that each casket bear the union label, which is a metal plate with the words union made, amalgamated wood workers interna- tional union of America
 "A large number of the members of the wood workers union have been employed dn the making of collins, but heretofore there has been no movement to compel the factories to unionize their factories, and none of the caskets have born the union label.
 Tt is estimated that there are about 15O grave diggers employed in the cemeteries of Chicago, and by organizing them the labor. unions feel that they could control the situation.
 We aiready have the union label on all cradles made, said Secretary John Lee, of the wood workers, and why should we not have union coffns and union grave diggers? l is to the interest of labor men to have every article used from the cradle to the grave union made. Other trades have brought about the use of union underwear the drinking of union beer, the smoking of union cigars, the consumption of union bread. and why should we not unionize our product?'"

Spencer yilkinson,s Views

London, March 11-Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning Post, says:
 'fThe difficulty now is to imagine a sat isfaetory plan of operation for the Boer commander-in-chies. At an outside esti- mate his available forces can hardly be forty thousand men. The Boer positions will always be turned before a frontal alt tack is made. To await the attack will be to risk capture. The only plan to avoid it will be nasty reldreat."
 Then, proceeding ito discuss various pos abilities for the Boers, MT. Wilkinson ar riyes at the following concluslon:
 ''Tlhe best thing tine Boers can hope for ds to gain time There is chance of their being able again to restore the equilib- rum and turn the balance in their own favor. By gaining time they may hope for some foreign intervention or complication. Great Brdtafn must, therefore, push the war with the strongest vIgor and must not spare any effort to keep the navy and the home defense force up to the utmost effi- ciency, ready for any emergency"

COUNSEL FOR ACCUSED
Kentuckians Under Arrest Will be De-
 fended by Ex-Gov. Brown

Louisville, Ky, March 16.-As a result of meetings held by a number of prominent citizens of Louisville dt is announced that ex-Governor John Young Brown has ac- cepted the employment as chief counsel for the men arrested for the murder of the late William Goebel. This action, it's pro- motors say, is taken in order that no n- nocent man may be convicted through the agency of the $100,0O0 reward appropriated by the last legislature.
 Ex-Governor Brown will be the chief counsel, and with him will be associated Hon. George Denny, of Lexington; w c. P. Breckinridge. of Lexington; Hon. J. c. Sims, of Bowling Green; Hon. A. F. Wilson, of Louisville, and several others. These lawyers have been Instructed to push the cases to an early trial, and failing in that to institute habeas corpus proceedings in the state and federal courts.
 At the meeting mentioned resolutions were adopted denouncing the assassination and urging efforts te-detect and convict the murderers. The fear is expressed that the $l0O,0OO appropriated may result in the prosecution and conviction of innocent per- sons, for political ends. The resolutions conclude:
 The money that may be subscribed Is not to be used for the purpose of shielding any guilty man. It is not to be used directly indirectly for the purpose of obstructing justice nor for promoting political or par tisan ends..
 It is to be used for the single purpose of aiding the accused in the employment of i'm telligent and fearless counsel, in procuring the attendance of witnesses and otherwise in securing to them a fair and impartial trial''
 Following the adoption of the resolutions a subscription was started. There was one subscription for $1,000, several for $500 and others for smaller sums. Colonel John H. Leathers was named as treasurer Of the fund. The names of the subscribers are not make public.
