LOOMS TALKS TOO MUCH.
Administration Embarrassed by Various In
terviews Purportine to Emanate from
the Minister to Venezuela.

Washington, April 13.-The various
interviews ascribed to Minister Loo
mis- at San Juan have attracted much
attention here and the minister prob
ably will be invited to explain some
of his utterances if he is not able to
enter broad denial of the accuracy of
the interviews. Reflections upon the
personal character of the president
OF Venezuela are not regarded as
proper, according to official etiquet.
and it is hoped that the minister
will be able to repudiate these.

WANT CLAUSE DROPPED.
Rule of the Presbyterian Church Relating
to the Marriage of q Sister-in-Law
VIII Probably BE Changed.

Omaha, Neb., April 13.-By a vote
of 16 to 4 the Omaha presbytery of
the Presbyterian church agreed to
recommend that the sister-in-law
clause be dropped from the church
rules. The clause which has just been
eliminated provides that relatives
marrying are to be considered the
same as blood relatives when matri-
mony is contemplated. In other
words, the sister of mans dead wife
is to be regarded in the same light
as his own sister and his relation to
her is a bar to marriage under the
church laws.

healing is by prayer, than can a min
lister who prays at the bedside of the

-OFFENDS THE QUEEN.
King Carlos and His Wife Quar-.
rel Over Religion.
Hostile Attitude OF tho Portuguese Mon.
arch Toward the Roman Catholic Or
ders May BE the Cause OF His Wife
BECOMING n Nun.

Lisbon, April 16.-The startling an
nouncement is made in court circles
here that Queen Marie Amelie, wife
of Don Carlos, king of Portugal, has
resolved to become a nun. This is q
direct result of the protracted quarrel
between the royal couple over the
kings attitude toward the religious
orders of the country. The agitation
against the clergy in Spain last month
spread to Portugal, where trouble be-
tween the liberals and the clerical
elements had been brewing for long
time. Queen Amelie is devout
Catholic, while Don Carlos sides with
the liberals, and during the recent dis
turbances he openly espoused their
cause against the church.
Queen Amelie is known to be q
woman of strong will power. There
are other grievances against the king
which steeled Queen Amelie's heart
The king has proved several times of
late unfaithful to his marriage vow,
which recently led to a public scan
DIAL. A prominent physician in Lis
bon committed suicide over the loss of
his beautiful young wife, whose af-
fections had been alienated by the
king.
The climax of royal domestic con-
tention was reached last week when
King Carlos caused an edict against
the cloisters of his realm which COM
mands that all religious institutions
will be required to make report of
their rules and regulations to the
respective municipal authorities, and
that all who do not comply within
fortnight will be closed by the gov
eminent. The edict has been received
with storms of indignation by the
clericals and all parties. The queen
tearfully besought the king to re-
lent, but he remained obdurate, and
it was then said that unless the king
would modify his edict she would not
hesitate to take the veil.

IMMIGRATION FACTS.
Washington Ofhcials Say q Better Glass of
Foreigners Are Coming to Our Shores
Italians Going South.

Washington, April 13.-Oficials of
the immigration bureau say the recent
announcement of the arrival of 1890
Italians on a single ship carries moth
ing that is alarming in connection
with the immigration problem. Ex-
perts OF the government who have fol-
lowed the matter say that some of
the best immigrants which are coming
into this country are those from
northern Italy. They come from a
warm, sunny climate, and find homes
in the southern states. They are nat
ural agriculturists, and with the per-
fected method of truck gardening in
Italy and the improved and broader
opportunities offered by the big plan
tations in the south, they become de-
sirable residents. The emigration
from Ireland or the British isles has
almost disappeared. When asked as
to the reason of this, the immigration
officials say that there are few Irish
who could comply with the immigra-
ton laws of the United States left in
that country, as the population has
dwindled from 100000 to less than
half that number. The few emigrants
from ireland come from the city of
Dublin, and they seek homes in the
larger cities of the United States,
where relatives have preceded them.

Berlin, April 13.-A recent article
in the Berliner Tageblatt takes a
gloomy view of the industrial condi-

so bad that the efforts of the char
table are powerless to cope with the

the consequent dismissal of working
