HIS MATRIMONIAL RECORD.
Seventeenth Wife Shook Anderson When
She Counted Her Predecessors.

Seventeenth Wife Shook Anderson when
She Counted Her Predecessors.
George Washington Anderson, the
confessed husband of seventeen wives,
most of whom are still living, has just
been sent by the seventeenth to the
Peasants county poorhouse, West Vir-
ginia, while she attempts to recover n
little of the wealth that she gave up
to marry him, and sues for a divorce
Anderson was GO years old and his
bride "a when they eloped to Parkers-
burg last month and were married
there. They had known each other
only two days, but In that time he had
learned the lesson he had so often and
so easily learned before, and she, see
ing in him. no doubt, the realization
Of a lifetime's longing, accepted him
as soon as he proposed. He repre-
sented that he was drawing a pension.
She was also receiving a pension, but
as he was drawing support from the
government she willingly gave up hers
for him. After the honeymoon was
over the old man fell i'll, and the wife's
devotion to him was remarkable. But
as time wore on she began to suspect
that he was not all he represented
himself to be. The time to fill out
vouchers for his pension came ana
went and he neglected to attend to
his. She began a search through his
pockets after the papers, and the first
thing she found was his written con-
fession that he had been married 16
times before he saw her. That took
all the glamor of the married life
which she had hoped would bring her
happiness, and when he added that
nearly all of the preceding 16 are alive
and well she bundled hir- bodily out of
the house and had him taken to the
poorhouse, where she would no longer
have to support him. She then in
structed her lawyer TO bring suit for
divorce.-ChicaGo Journal.

CUBA IS va
%4 HAPPY

Gen. Wood, military governor of
Cuba, is in Washington. He says
everything is harmonious in the island
and it is prospecting. What is wanted
is the repeal or reduction of the sugar
tax now in force by the United States.
With the former granted Cuba would
embark on a career of unprecedented
prosperity.
AS public affairs go they are in such
a condition that they could be turned
over to the Cubans on forty-eight
hours notice. Every position not held
by a Cuban has one just below it held
by a Cuban who thoroughly under
stands his American superior's duties.
The tranquil condition of Cuba can
best be understood by the fact that
Gen. Woods home is only protected
by a single Cuban guard, and one could
Journey all over the island without
molestation as we'll as in the United
States. Highway robberies are not
unknown in Arizona or New Mexico,
and perhaps on a tour through twenty
towns of Cuba they may occur, but
they are a rarity.
In the Pinar del Rio and Puerto
Principe provinces no troops are sta
toned, and but 1900 throughout the
entire island. The people appreciate
the change Of the last ten years Two
years ago last January we were issuing
100000 rations, today not any, except
in the hospitals. There are $50 900
children enrolled for the public schools
when at that time there were but few.
OF these children $4,000 attend school.

AGUINALDO CLOSELY GUARDED
Prscaution to Prevent Escape OF Injury
by Luna's Friends.

Precaution to Prevent Escape OF Injury
by Luna's Friends.
Washington, d. c., April 15.-Under
instructions, Gen. Macarthur is close
ly guarding Aguinaldo, both to prevent
his escape and to prevent any injury
being done him by friends of the late
Lieut.. Luna. Lieut.. Col Clarence Ed
wards, who was the Acknowledgement
Of Gen. Lawton's column, said thar
there seemed to be very little doubt
that Aguinaldo had given instructions
for the death of Luna.
Luna was killed in Cabanatuan by
one of Aguinaldo's bodyguards, who
had been drawn up in honor of the
insurgent general, who, Col. Edwards
said, was "the Lawton Of the Filipino
service" Aguinaldo had sent peace
commission to treat with the Ameri-
cans, but Luna arrested some of them
and sent his own commission.
Jealous of his popularity with the
army and desiring to preserve for him
self the dictatorship, Aguinaldo, Col.
Edwards added, is believed to have
given the orders which resulted in his
rivals assassination. Luna has many
friends and it would not surprise Off
GERS here should an attempt be made
on Aguinaldo's life in revenge for the
assassination of the popular insurgent
officer. Aguinaldo's delay in issuing
the manifesto advising general sur
render of the insurgents and delivery
of arms and their acceptance Of Ameri-
can sovereignty is causing comment.
Officials of the war department assert
their faith in Gen. MacArthur's ability
to induce Aguinaldo to issue the de-
sired address. Aguinaldo has demand
ed certain conditions as preliminary
to this action and discussion mas oc-
CURED on the points which he has
named. Before the address is issued
1t is expected it will be cabled in full
to the secretary of war for submission
to the president, and will be amended
by the authorities here if amendment
is desirable.

TROUBLE FOR STEEL TRUST.
Has Strike on Hand at the Beginning
of Its Existence.

Pittsburg, April 16.-As a result of
the dispute that for week past has
involved the employees of the w.
Devices Wood plant of the American
Sheet company at McKeesport, Pa,
and the company, about half of the
men are on Il strike and the opera
ton of the plant is badly crippled.
The cause OF the trouble was the
recent discharge of seven men, who,
the men claimed, We're dismissed be-
cause they We're members of the new
ly organized lodge of the Amalga-
mated association. The strike was
ordered at meeting of the local
lodge and went into effect at o'clock
yesterday morning. All is quiet
about the yards today. None of the
discontinued workmen are lettering
about the mill, and there is no pros
pect of trouble. The members of he
firm say that they will continue the
operation of their plants and that if
they are troubled by the strikers /;
Mckeesport they will ship their ma
terial elsewhere for manufactures The
mill employs about 500 men and abou'
half of them are out.
The event is looked upon as mo-
mentous throughout the iron and
steel trade of the country, the fact
that it is the first conflict between
organized labor and the new United
States steel corporation. and because
of the announced intention today of
President T. j. Shafer. the head of the
Amalagamted Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers. to tie every
plant of the new combine, steel, tin.
tube, structural iron, wire and all. if
necessary, to win the fight. AS to the
chance that the men in all the mills
of the United States Steel corpora
ton will be called to come out, no one
connected with the management of
any of the organized plants in the
new corporation will consent to be
quoted. The only underlying com
panies in the new corporation whose
mills are entirely independent of the
Amalgamated association are the Car
negie interests and the National Tube
company

HAY REvERSES METHODS
Preparing Treaty With England on
the Canal Question

New Orleans, April 15.-Judge Par
lange in the United States circuit
court has handed down decision
dismissing the suit brought by the
Boer representatives here to prevent
Inc Shipment of mules and horses
out of New Orleans TO the British
army in South Africa. The decision
is lengthy one.
Judge Parlange holds that the
transactions between citizens of the
United States and the British govern
ment were conducted under the order
of private citizenship and that the
courts had absolutely no jurisdiction
to interfere. The horses and mules,
the court said, were bought in
neutral territory. Judge Parlange
| continues:
"If the compliments could be heard
to assert here rights personal to
themselves in the treaty invaded and
if the mules and horses involved in
this cause are munitions of war, all
of which is disputed by the defend
ants, it would become necessary to
determine whether the United States
intended by the declaration of the
treaty (of Washington, May 8, 1871,
to subvert the we'll established prin-
ciple of international law that the,
private citizens of neutral nation
can lawfully sell supplies to bellig-
erents.
at is almost impossible to sup
pose a priori, that the United States
would have done so and would have
thus provided for the most serious
and extensive arrangement of and
injury to the commerce of our citi-
zens, whether two or more foreign
nations should go to war; and it
would seem that there was nothing
in the treaty. especially when it's his
tory and purposes are considered,
which would warrant the belief that
the United States insisted upon in
sorting therein new principle of
international law from which the
greatest damage might result to the
commerce of this country and which
the government of this country has
heretofore strenuously and invari-
ably followed. The principle that
neutral citizens may lawfully sell to
belligerents has long since been set
tied i'm this country by the highest
judicial authority"

MULE SUIT KNOCKED OUT
Judge at New Orleans Decides Against
fhe ROnrS

Washington, April 14.-There is au.
thority for the following statement
of the status OIL the Panama nego-
tiations:
After the adjournment of the SEN
ate and the lapse of the pending Hay
Pauncefote treaty, Secretary Hay de.
clded to pursue the subject further.
But to avoid the possibility of an
other failure for the same reasons
us brought about the loss of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty the secretary de-
termined to reverse the usual method
of procedure in framing treaties. He
therefore concluded to first consult
the ratifying power, the United
States to ascertain if it was possible
for the senator's to agree upon the
basis of a treaty, which should be at
the same time acceptable to the ex-
ecutive branch of the government and
to Great Britain. 1t was realized
that unless two-thirds at least of the
senate could be brought into agree
ment in advance upon the basis of
the treaty it would be perfectly use
less for the executive to embark in
negotiations with Great Britain for
the information of another conven.
ton.
Secretary Hay is devoting himself
now to the ascertainment of the feel
ings and desires of the senator's and
consequently not having completed
this work. has not begun negotiations
with Great Britain for a new treaty.
1t is not an easy undertaking to test
the senate in this fashion. not only
because of the number of senator's
who must be sounded, but also
of the indecision of some of
the men who rank as leaders.
1t is not even possible to pre-
dict now, because the results OBJ
tanned are SO inconclusive that the
state department will not be able to
acquaint Lord Pauncefote with the
basis upon which it is willing to ne
gotiate for a treaty before the am
bassaaor sails for Lonuon next June.
1t is even possible that Lord Paunce-
fote may feel it incumbent upon him
to delay his departure for time,
or even to omit his leave altogether
IT by so doing he can better ascer-
tain the senatorial conditions, for the
ambassador is naturally DESTROYS to
assure himself of success before he
again undertakes to frame treaty
which shall bear his name. 1t fol-
lows, negotiations not having been
started, that nothing has passed be-
tween the governments of the United
States and Great Britain respecting
a quid pro quo to be demanded by
Great Britain in consideration of the
release of the United States from the
restrictions imposed by the Clayton
Bulwer treaty.

CONVENTION ORDERS COMMISSIONS.
Cuban Delegates Refuse to Specifically
Reject the Platt Amendments

Havana, April 15.-At the opening
of Saturdays secret session of the
constitutional convention Senior Nu-
nez asked that the convention either
reject or accept the Platt amend
ment, as the resolution adopted Fri
day was not formal declaration and
was misleading. The conservatives
considered the resolution practically
rejected the amendment, while the
radicals and the radical press main
tanned that it did not, and Senior
Nunez, therefore, asked that yea
and nay vote be taken This was OPP
posed by the radicals who have al
ways avoided taking decided stand
The conservatives were pleased at
the point, and. as a split was threat
ened among the radicals. Il compro-
mise was offered and agreed to by
the terms of which a resolution was
adopted that the convention should
not express itself either for or
against the amendment, and that a
commission be sent to Washington
to reach the best possible terms.
The commission will not be au-
thorized to settle definitely the ques-
ton of the relations between the Uni
ted States and Cuba, but will report
back to the convention.

ROYAL SPOUSE QUITS THE KING.
Marie Amelia, Queen of Portugal, De
CideR to Leave.

Lisbon, April 16.-The startling an
nouncement is made in court circles
that Queen Marie Amelie, wife of
Don Carlos, king of Portugal, has
resolved to become nun. This is
a 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 Por-
tugal, where trouble between the lib
erals and the clerical elements had
been brewing for long time. Queen
Amelie is a devout Catholic; while
Don Carlos sides with the liberals.
and during the recent disturbances
he openly espoused their cause
against the church. Violent scenes
between husband and wife in the Lis
bon palace followed
There are other grievances against
the king which steeled Queen Amelie's
neart The king has proved several
times of late unfaithful to his mar
rage vow, which recently led to a
public scandal. A prominent physi-
clan in Lisbon committed suicide over
the loss of his beautiful young wife,
whose affections had been alienated
by the king.

JAPAN SENDS ULTIMATUM
Demand on China Taken as a Chal-
lenge to the rluscoyites.

London, April 16.-Japan has issued
an ultimatum to China that Russia
must be elected from Manchuria, the
alternative being that occupation of
that province shall become interna-
tional instead of solely Muscovite.
While directed to Emperor Kwang
Hsu, through Lii Hung Chang, the III
timatum is undoubtedly meant for
st. Petersburg. 1t is the serving of
notice on the car that he must ADAM
don Manchuria or fight.
The wording of the ultimatum does
full credit to the reputation of Mar
quis Ito as the Bismarck of the
orient.
Beneath the flowery language is con-
cealed the mailed fist. First present.
ed as Il petition, Japan's demand is
now couched in words of command.
1t is highly significant that Lii
Hung Chang, ardent special pleader
for Russia, should be chosen as the
meuum for transmitting the ulti-
matum, and especially so when it is
considered that Japan sent her first
message to Kwang Hsu through
Prince Ching. 1t is shrewdly conjec-
tured here that Earl Lis first mes
sage, after the receipt of the ulti-
matum, went to the car instead of
to his own nominal sovereign.
That Japan has determined to pre-
cipitate crisis in the far east is
now no longer open to doubt. That,
while openly acting Independently,
she has been promised support by
other powers, Great Britain among
them, is more than probable.
One thing is certain. Russia must
now show her hand. She can no
longer hide her purposes behind the
assertion that she must retain her
troops i'll Manchuria to preserve or
der and protect her interests. Inter-
national aid in so doing is now a fore
gone conclusion. Therefore clash
seems inevitable.
Japan's assurance to China that
all the nations regard the latter as a
friendly power" is interpreted here
as an oriental intimation to Russia
that she herself is not considered
in that category as far as Japan is
concerned.

of a saloon and wholesale liquor house.
He is an ardent Democrat. He has
sent letters to the editors of the daily
papers stating that he is no longer con-
nected with the saloon business. He
has promised the mayor to retire from
the trade. =
