WANTS PAUNCEFOTE RETAINED.
London Times Praises His Services as
Ambassador Here,


LONDON, March 3.-The Times saws edi-
torially this morning:
ITO displace Lord Pauncefote at a Grill
cal moment like the present would be to
carry official pedantry to the point of folly.
1t cannot be denied that it is largely Que
to his personal action that the United
States and Great Britain have been brought
closer together than at any period in the
history of the two countries since their
painful separation in the last century
Moreover, the ambassador has in hand
the threads of negotiatio on several i'm
portant questions. With the approach of
general election the political atmosphere,
especially in the United States has ten
dency to become electric. 1t would be
mistake on our part to regard too seriously
the movements of political opposition in
America under such conditions: but if is
clear that the presence at the British en-
bassy at Washington of an experienced
and cool-headed diplomatist who womb
know now to discount the extravagant Ian
suage of presidential campaign is of no
inconsiderable advantage"
Inc editorial proceeds to dilate upon the
necessity. on the part of the amba ssad ,r
OF prudence. combined with vigilance, dur
ing the presidential campaign, and then
says:
1t is possible that a new ambassador
might be entrapped into acts or statements
that would compromise Great Britain.
lhere are questions pending between the
two governments which 1t is the interest
or certain sections on both sides of politics
beyond the Atlantic to exaggerate and even
envenom. The most difficult element in
the problem is the pressure upon President
Mckinley's administration to interfere l..
behalf OF the Beers. The attitude of Wash
lngton has hitherto been beyond reproach:
but presidential election puts a severe and
even a dangerous strain upon political viz
tue"
After declaring that "a heavy responsible
lty will rest upon those displacing Lord
Pauncefote," the editorial refers to the
Irish and German vote in the United States.
and concludes as follows: We do not be-
litVe that America will be tempted to as
sumo an unfriendy attitude, but it is we'll
for us to remember that We cannot leave
our empire to the mercy and chances of
politics in any other country"

The longest canal in the world is the
Erie in New York, extending from AL

The Paris Figaro says that the word
"sirdar," which has been 50 frequent
ly used since the exploits of Lord Kitch-
ener, is q contraction of the Arabic
words, "Sayer ed Dar;" that sayer
means inspector or watcher, and dar
means palace-ergo, inspector of the

tionary, however, says that ''sirdar''
comes from the Persian 'sardar;"
"sar," the head. top, and "dar," holding
possession-hence a chief or general.

BLIND FISHES.
Two Singular Species Are Found II
the Fresh Waters
Of Cuba.

According to DR.. Gill, Cuba 10 re-
mark bic for two species of blind fishes,
distantly related TO the cod family and
otherwise represented only in deep sea
forms, says the New York Tribune.
They have, after many years, adapted
themselves to the fresh water of the
caves in which they have become iso-
lated, and have lost their sight after
living many generations without seeing
daylight. In Cuba there are also fresh
water gar pike curious because of
their RESENT ance to alligators. This
similarity in appearance is suggested
by the gar pixies" hard, bony scales
which resist musket-shot; also by its
snout, conspicuously crocodilesque
Other freshwater fishes Of Cuba are
related to similar species Of South
America, Mexico and the southwestern
United States. Those related TO our
species are some forms Of killifshes and
mumlnachogs. The only food fish in
Cuban water is a large mullet, which
has wandered inland from the sea.
DR.. Gill says that the fresh-water
fishes of Porto Rico are scarcely known
to scientific men. The fish commits
sion vessel Fish Hawk is now in Porto

TO ADJUST WAGES.
Dig Four Fircmcn to Meet General
Manager Schaf Soon.

A conference has been called by the adj
justing board of Big Four lremen with
General Manager c. f. Schaf. of Cincin-
natl, to be held on or after Dec. 10. The
adjusting board has not given out what the
demands will be, but they are or sufncleht
Importance to cause probable contention
before an adjustment is reached. the
firemen want a restoration of the scale OF
1893. The present scale is q few cents on
the hundred miles below that scale. put
this is not the principal difference oetWeen
the board and the railroad. Since 1888
there have been fourteen new engines put
on the road. These engines are much
larger than the old ones, each being capa-
BILE of hauling about 30 per cent. more ton
ceive 10 cents more than iremen on the
old engines. 1t is commended that TINS Oil
ference is not in proportion TO the IN
creased tonnage the big engines haul. -.
A corresponding increase in wages would
mean an advance in wages above the pres
ent scale OF 6S cents. A compromise is ex-
pected to be reached somewhere between
these figures and the present scale, but
the firemen will maintain that the relative
proportion should be carried out 10 the
last figure. These differences exist only
on freight trains, as the passenger hremen
are apparently satisfied. No answer has
yet been received from General Manager
Schaf, who will likely set the time and
place for the conference. as that matter is
left in his hands in making the request.
When he answers and a date is set. the
adjusting board will be called together
and a settlement will be effected. No Sc
rious contention is looked for, both sides
state.

Hayes once attended one of the ovangelist's
meetings and was one of the first to rise
to her feet when a request was made for

TAN SHOE BETRAYED HIM
ALVIN ANDERSON ARRESTED ON A
CHARGE OF BURGLARY.
Detective Work hi Resulted Satis-
factorily-James Edgey Also
Arrested.

Alvin Anderson, of sos Athon street, and
James Edgey, of 429 South West street.
were arrested yesterday morning and
charged with burglary.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning Terry
Moore. Waterman, passed the Finn grocery
at SAG West Washington street. Inside ne
saw a man. Moore pounded on the front
door and asked the fellow what he was
doing there and then ran TO the rear.
where he thought the burglar would at
tempt to make his escape. While Moore
was in the act of pulling himself to the
roof of the back part OF the store the man
inside came out over the roof and jumped
off into the alley, making his escape.
Moore saw him sufficiently to get a good
description and in Kerstin9s restaurant X
was found that Frank Anderson had been
in there shortly before and secured a lot
of matches.
The district police, johnson n Miller,
appeared on the scene and assisted In the
investigation. Finn, the owner OF the store.
was summoned and In the store II was
found that entrance had been secured by
breaking two transoms after getting into
the building through the skylight. A can
filed with pine tar had been overturned
and a tan colored shoe was found. After
some trouble II was learned that Anderson
lived with relatives at sos Athon street
and Sergeant Giblin, the patrolmen and
Moore went to the house.. Anderson was
found in bed. In the room was one tan
shoe, the mate to the one found in the
store. His clothing was found to be be-
smeared with pine tar. Several pounds of
smoking and chewing tobacco were found
In one Of the drawers Inc was of the same
kind as sold by Finn. When Anderson
was told to dress he arose and donned his
brothers clothing. Sergeant Giblin tied a
knot in the leg of the trousers covered
with the tar, and into the sack thus made
placed the stolen tobacco and sent Ii TO
headquarters with the prisoner.
Moore called the bicycle police and with
them went to the home of Edgey, who was
seen about the place and whom 1t was
thought had watched the front Of the store
and assisted in getting a box filled with
tobacco from the store to the roof where
1t was found. Edgey's father would not
admit the officers until after a walt of
about two hours and then he called them
In and asked that the young man be taken
from the house by the rear entrance so as
not to attract the attention of the people
going to church. Young Edgey was greatly
angered by the act of his father and
abused him., saying he thought ii was a
scheme 10 send him back to prison. where
he had been until recently and released on
parole. He threatened his father and also
to give the police som hot ones" so
there would be some good cause for his
return to prison. He denied having any
thing to do with the burglary, but later
admitted that he had not reached home
until about the time Anderson was seen
In the store. Anderson is another paroled
prisoner, having been sent up for burglary.

Only a few slight personal injuries result

three Of the crossbars before it was stopped
in the middle of the square between New
Jersey and East streets.
S~helby-street car No. 264 ollowed the
English-avenue car down the incline. 1t
ran at such speed that the motorman was
unable to stop before the car struck the
one standing dead on the track. with
the brakes set. The force was sufficient to
drive the first car ahead about twenty-five
feet.
The motorman of the Shelby-street car
said that the light of the Greenwood car.
which was ascending the grade in the OPP
posite direction. blinded him, so that he
could not see the other car. which had no
lights. Passengers were thrown with force
toward the ends of the cars and several
windows were broken.
The injuries OF the passengers fortunately
were few and not serious. One man was
cut by flying glass, another had his shoul-
der bruised and one woman was slightly
bruised. "A number of spectators noticed
the speed of the ears and stopped to watch
the descent. expecting something to hap
