AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
Pauncefote Sounded Other Ministers
at Austria's Request.


Washington, Feb. 12.-In view OF
the statements and contradictions
more or less official in character com.
ing from the principal European cap
itals respecting the attitude of the
powers individually towards the
United States just preceding the Span.
ish war, the officials here feel nat.
ural reluctance to being drawn into
the controversy and it is with difficult.
ty that even unofficial statements can
be had on this subject.
One fact remains uncontroverted,
namely, that the European ambassa.
doris and ministers here called upon
President Mckinley April Z, 1898, in
the effort to prevent war. The mat.
ter now in controversy is what hap
pened after that call and the question
at issue is as presented in the latest
phase in the European dispatches-did
Lord Pauncefote undertake to secure
the support of the other European
powers in an attempt at forcible re-
straint upon the United States? Sift.
ing all Inc facts the conclusion reach.
ed here is that Lord Pauncefote's &C.
tivities in the direction of Intervention
has been generally misunderstood. 1t
is known that the Austrian minister
was untiring in his efforts in behalf OF
Spain. The United States government
has never cherished the least i'll feel
ing on that score. realizing that the
blood ties between the Austrian and
Spanish houses sufficiently excused
such an attitude. In the course OF
these efforts Mr.. Henglemuller turned
to Lord Pauncefote. as dean of the
corps, and sought to have him see
what measure of support could be Sc
cured for another and more forciblc
representation to the United States as
to the undesirabiIty of war.
Lord Pauncefote was confident that
no such proposition would carry but
he yielded SO far to the application OF
the Austrian minister as to submit his
proposition to the other representa-.
tives of the European powers. The re-
suit justified Lord Pauncefote's judg.
ment of the outcome, and it probably
was the inquiries he made of this pro-
ceeding and not any proposition orig.
mating with himself that led to re.
ports from the ministers and ambas.
sailors here to the European chancel

WHAT about the Gulf and Mani
toba railroad, which was originally
projected to reach Sank Centre from
Kansas City? Two years ago the
HERALD called attention to this i'm
portant matter. Since that time
bonds have been foated for $780,
OOO, 900, and the Sunday papers say
that contract has been let for 800
miles of grading. Would it not be
we'll for our citizens to interest
themselves in the matter? We
have no board of trade-will not
the Improvement society of the
Gradatim club take the matter in
hand?

MARRIBS In JAIL
ALBERT r. PATRICK, AWAITING
DEATH SENTENCE, WEEDS
MRS. FRANCIS.
OFFICIALS ARE 0UTWlTTED

Wedding Contract Signed In the Ma.
irons Room at the Tombs Despite
Measures Taken to Prevent 1t.
Woman Has Stood by the Prisoner
During His Long Incarceration and
Is Now Entitled to Visit Death Cell.
New York, April 1.-Albert T.
Patrick, convicted last week OF muir
der in the first degree for plotting the
death of Millionaire William Marsh
Rice and now awaiting the death SEN
tence, and Mrs. Addie L.. Francis have
become husband and wife in the ma
irons room of the Tombs, according
to The American and Journal.
A pen stroke did it, despite all meas
ures taken to prevent.
The arrangements were so perfectly
made, so secretly planned and so
cleverly executed that not until the
marriage was irrevocably complete
were Patricks guards cognizant that
it was even intended. The fact that
Commissioner of Correction Hynes had
declared his opposition to a marriage
between the prisoner and the woman
who has been so faithful to him during
his long incarceration and the exhaust
ing tension of the long drawn out trial,
made the Tombs officials more alert to
prevent a marriage in the prison.
The marriage is said to have been
ACCOMPLISHED, however, while the ma
tron was present. The latter, however,
was so much preoccupied with attend
ing to the linen and her other duties
that she was unaware what was going
on.
Mrs. Francis, accompanied by her
attorney, her sister and Patrick's faith
er, called at the Tombs and asked for
a conference with the prisoner. He
was escorted to the matron's room and
after a few moments the guard is
said to have stepped outside. 1t is
said the wedding contracts were then
signed by Patrick and Mrs. Francis in
duplicate Under law enacted by the
legislature a year ago this form OF
marriage is lawful when the signing of
the contract is witnessed by two per-
sons. To perfect the ceremony it is
only necessary to file copy of the
contract with a magistrate within six
months.
Samuel B. Thomas, attorney for
Mrs. Francis, made the following state
ment:
GAS counsel of Mrs. Francis advis-
ed her that the contract of marriage
wasabsolutely valid and binding. Mrs.
Francis had been engaged to Mr.. Pat
rick since 1898. 1t was their inten-
ton to be married on the day of Pat
rick's acquittal. They were married
properly and legally and as his wife
Mrs Addie Francis Patrick can visit
him when he is confined in the death
house. which would have been denied
her otherwise"
