ANOTHER GOLD BRICK GAME
How Two EngIishmen We're Duped
With Copper and Zinc.

Chicago, March 1S.AThe assay OF SIX
supposed bars of gold that had been paced
in a trust company's vaults pending the
completion of a sale of mine from which
the gold was supposed to have come, was
completed to-day and showed that the
bars were composed of copper, zinc ana
other metals without a trace of gold
The bars were left with the trust COM
pany by two men giving their names as
r. C. Miller and William Schneider. VINO
published an advertisement In a London
paper offering 10 sell a gold mine for sou :

Fnglishmen say they had borings taken
from the bars and an analysis showed the
borings contained Is per cent gold.
one of the Englishmen went with one OF
the alleged gold mine owners to Cahiorhla
to see the mine but says the alleged own

supposed owner also disappearing from
Chicago. This turn in affairs was preclp-
itated by the demand Of the Engiishmen
that their travelling expenses be paid.

COMPROMISE ON MEAT BILL.

Berlin, March 1S,-The government hopes
to effect a compromise on the meat in

Against Prince Won Eohenlohe's definite

agreement into which all the members CT

Wehner raised false hopes among the
Agrarians and pledged them his word
that the extreme form of the bill. as the
second reading fixed it, would be accepta-

Consequently the Agrarians feel that

relations between Prince Won Hohenlohe

To-day's papers vigorously comment
upon yesterdays proceedings in the

and INSCRIPTIONS obstruction are without

fact is also criticised that the chancel-

Mason and the Beers.
Senator Mason has given notice of re-

Senate leaders consider his resolution
unwise at this juncture. There is differ
ence of opinion as to whether under the

for consideration on April 3, it can be
called up even for speeches in the interim.
1t is probable, however, that some ad-

The Caucus Porto Rican Committee will
begin its sessions in earnest Monday and
a strenuous endeavor will be made to get
the bill in such shape as 90 make it ac-
ceptable to practically all the Republican
senators at as early a day as possible.
Senator Foraker is now engaged in pre-
pairing amendments to the governmental
bill and he will exert himself to the ut
most TO perfect the bill during the pres
ent week. If he succeeds in getting a bill
which the Republicans will accept. the
measure will then be pressed with all the
speed and energy possible.

large stockade forts occupied by Selleh.

advantage was followed up so rapidly that
all three forts were quickly destroyed,
causing the rebels who escaped to take to
the forests.
Several score of rebels were killed.
