Dancer of Flood MAY Pass,

Pittsburg, Feb. 22-The great ice
gorges on the Monongahela river and
Allegheny river still remain intact, and
If the present weather conditions con-
tinue the danger from a food and an
ice gorge will not be as great as fear
ed. The situation in the rivers at the
present time is not so alarming. So
far there is no flood in sight.

SEVERE CENSORSHIP PREVAILS
General Strike Throughout Spain May
Faii-BuIk of the Trades Unions De-
cline to Join Strike on Account of
Lack of Financial Resources.

Madrid, Feb 21, via Bayonne.
France, Feb. 22.-The censorships of
kilograms via Barcelona is exceedingly
severe, even some of the official mes
sages having been stopped. The Mad
rid Heraldo declares the censorship
to be only comparable to that of Tur-
key.
Firing continued at Barcelona
throughout Thursday night.
1t is feared that trouble may arise
at Cartagena, where 10000 miners are
idle.
Owing to the heavy imposts on the
dynamite monopoly, making it impossi-
bic to proftably work the mines, the
dynamite duty, which formerly
brought 100000 pesetas to the state,
now produce 100000 pesetas
According to other reports the
troops at Barcelona are continuously
engaged in taking barricades at the
point of the bayonet.
Among the many persons arrested
is Senor Reoyo, president of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
According to the best available in
formation the movement for a gen
eral strike throughout Spain has fail
ed. The leaders of this movement
counted upon the fact that the strength
of the army had been reduced by the
recent disbandment of $4,000 trained
troops, who have been replaced by
cOnscripts, and upon the expected sup
port from the trades unions through
out the country. The prompt meas
ures taken by General Weyler, how
ever, had a deterrent effect, and the
emissaries sent from Barcelona to all
the leading industrial towns did not
meet with the expected response eX-
cept in a comparatively few cases.
The bulk of the trades unions decline
to join the general strike on the
ground that their financial resources
were not sufficient to hold out any
length of time, and further that the
Republican and opposition political
parties deprecated a general strike and
that the Socialists were equally ad-
verse thereto. Fable Iglesias, the lead
er of the Spanish Socialists, in his pa
per, Ell SOcialisto, declares that gen
eral strike might at some future time
be beneficial, but not now. He points
out that the four previous and prema-
ture attempts were shown to be such
badly prepared and equipped enter
prises, that they only made the con-
dition of the workmen more unfayora-
bic.
Other prominent Socialists also con
demn the present movement.

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers

manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs

RED TAPE AND OLIVE OIL.
Customs Officers Fooled by Supposed
Smuggling Plot.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Giuseppe Sic
cardi, an Italian ship chandler of Brook
lyn. has just come happily through har-
rowing experience with the New York
customs officials
Siccardi on January II delivered a lot
of ship stores on board the Italian bark
GariJaldi Captain Parodi. which was ly-
ing at the Atlantic docks. about TO put to
sea. Among these supplies were four
cases of olive oil, ALMOST necessary of
life for Italians. In due course the Carl
baldi cast loose and was towed down the
NaTrows and out TO sea by a tugboat, the
Jacob Cooper.
The Cooper, however. on her return
brought back some unexpected cargo, for
Captain Parodi as the GaTibaldi was on
her way out OF the harbor discovered the
olive oil. He had ordered four cases of
kerosene oil, and apparently no substi-
tute, however excellent, would satisfy
him, for he would not let the tugboat
the four cases OF olive oil. with an ac-
companying letter to Slccardi.
When he Cooper tied up at the Allan
tie docks the customs officers found and
seized her consignment OF olive oil, and
for while We're joyful in the idea that
scheme of Wholesale smuggling had been
unearthed. BY and By Siccard appeared
with his letter TO corroborate the eX-
plantations of the tugboat men. and after
several days spend in unwinding red tape
the ship chandler got back his rejected
but palatable wares.

No Danger OF European sunday.
IF anybody thinks we are in danger of
having Continental Sundays he does not
know the sentiments of the working peo-
pie. There is not the least danger, no
matter how Indifferent the church may
get.
The chief danger 1f the rest day is
not from the poor or even the drunken
man, or the poor man who crawIs out of
his tenement to, seek some recreation or
social relaxation in nearby saloon. 1t
is from the deliberate desecration of the
day by people who have got plenty of
leisure.
The society people are on the church
membership rolls. and have pews in the
churches. but are seldom seen in them.
The reason is that they are engaged in the
soul-destroying chase after social dis
tinction.
