The cost of each an expedition was such that the English and Canndian governments would have nothing to do with it, the liauard being one that the home sec retary would not countenance. The proposition, however, has met with the approval of a syndicate of English capitalists, who sends forth 160 men from Ban Francisco, with James Bra aell at the head. William J. Bryan has accepted an in vitation to speak at Gladstone Park, near Oregon City, on tho 12th of July, the day before the annual Chautauquan assembly will open. His subject will "Bimetallism."

Captain Miller has information that the war department has appropriated $34,000 for a transporation fund for the army post at Spokano, which makes a toUl of $106,000 this year. The Bun dry civil bill carries $50,000 more, all to be spent this year. The intention is to transfer two companies to Spokane, probably from Fort Sherman. As fast as the barracks buildings are built, other companies will come from Forts Walla Walla and Sherman. A special to the Now York Journl from Havana says: The opening of private letters by Weyler's postofflee employes has been made the subject of energetic protests by more than one lo cal consul. The representative of a leading South American republic went twrsonally to the palace to complain that his mail, both official and private, iiad boon tampered with, while Dr. lirnnner, of the United States marine hospital service, detailed here as as sistant sanitary inspector, attached to the American consulate, received sev eral letters from his wife, the envelopes of which had been clipped off at the postofllce before delivery. They were delivered open, no attempt whatever having leen made to conceal the fact of violation. Upon tho doctor's com plaint General Leo sent a sharp note of protest to the captain-general's office. An expedition has jnst left Philadel phia that has for its object the explora tion of the country around Mount St. Eli as, Alaska, and possibly the asoent f that mountain, which for a long time waa considered the highest in America.

The whole sale grocers of Iowa who have been caught on the short side of tea have sent a delegation to Washington to see what Senator Allison can do for them. Before the tariff of ten cents a pound on tea was publicly suggested by tho senate committee these grocers sold for future delivery in such quantiites that one Chicago house stands to lose f 100, 000 if compelled to furnish taxed tea, and Iowa bouses will also loso heavily. The importers have discounted the future and have sold their stocks at a liberal advance on former prices. One Chicago and New York house is report ed to have oleaned up $250,000, and other importers are supposed to have done equally well. The grocers tried to cover, with the result that the de mand for immediate shipment raised in Japan 1 cents. Some of the gro cers, rather than stand this, decided to countermand their orders and take their chances of securing a modification of the tariff bill. The delegation sent to Washington was appointed at a conference in Chi cago last week and hoaded hy F. A. Hancock, of Dubuque. They will ask that the tariff bill be amended to pro vide for a rebate on the tax on all tea imported to fill orders taken before the senate bill was reported. Burled In the Mississippi. St. Louis, May 26. The ashes of Rudolph Rosin were oast into the Mis sissippi river last evening, from near the center of the Eads bridge. Rosin had spent most of his life in the vicin ity of Cincinnati. About a year ago he visited his birthplace in northern Germany and while there was taken sick and died. During his illness he prepared a will in which he provided that his body should bo cremated and his ashes returned to his Cincinnati relatives, and kept by them until May 23, 1807, the anniversary of his birth, and then thrown from the Eads bridge of St. Louis into the Mississippi river. Last evening a well-dressed man walked on tho bridge from St. Louis. He carried a small black box. When near the center ho stopped, opened the box and emptied what appeared to be a few handfuls of asheB into the river below. Without priest or prayer, all that remained of Rudolph Rosin was thus oast into the great river. Dunham Arrested Again. San Jose, Cal., May 26. Sheriff Lyndon is in receipt of telegrams from Lagrango, Tex., which indicate that possibly Dunham, the murderer so much wanted, may bo under arrest there. Last night a telegram was re ceived from Sheriff Lossein, of La grange, saying Dunham is in jail there. This afternoon the following came from the sheriff at Lagrange: "Description of Dunham' corresponds with your description given the Pink- erton agency. His identity was given away by Furgason, a chum of his, to whom ho made the statement of being the murderer from California." A warrant has been wired to La. grange. Florence I Happy. San Francisco, May 20. The decis ion of the United States supreme court was received by Mrs. Uiuckley, of this oity, today with undisguised satisfac tion as it virtually settles her title to the Blythe estate forever. The appeal taken to the supreme court by the "Kentucky" Blythes from this state was their last effort to secure their al leged rights as against Mrs. Hinckley, who, being an alien, had no legal right to inherit property in this country, according to the construction of the law of inheritance. A French statistician has cumulated that tho eye travels about 6,000 feet in reading an ordinary-sized novel. No wonder the eye gets tired. A College Assignment. Terre Haute, Ind., May 26. The trustees of the Coates college for wom en, founded by the late John Coats, of Grenneastle, made an assignment to day. The liabilities amount to $U, D00, while the assets consist chiefly of unpaid subscriptions to the college, which will be hard to realize upon. AlonaoLowe of Greenfield, Ind., has lifted one of his horses clear of the round, and he oao shoulder alone and wry a barrel of sugar. Much Opposition to the Beer Tax- Western Senators Want Duty on Wool Increased. Washington, May 20. The Kcpubli Can caucus today emphasized the fact that there is a n ide divergence of opin ion among the Republican senators on rates of duty fixed in the variout sche dules of the tariff. ' The senators were in caucus nearly four hours. Tho only official announcement that was made after tho caucus adjourned was that it was decided to appoint three senators in addition to the Republican members of the finance committee, who were to act as a committee to assist in getting the tariff bill through the senate. It was generally stated, however, that an agreement had been reached that there should be no set speeches on the hill from the Republican side, except that of Senator Aldrich, which is to be de livered tomorrow. A resolution of memorandum, offered by Senator Burrows, waB agered to hy those present. It sets forth that in the sense of those present, there not being a full attendance of the caucus, was that Republican senators having amendeinents to offer should present them to Republican members of the finance committee, and if the amend ments are approved by the committee, they are to be offered in the senate; if disapproved, the senators presenting them are to have the right to submit them to the Republican caucus. The finance committee is to hold sessions each evening for the purpose of hearing propositions from Republican senators and to decide upon the advisability of presenting such amendments in the senate. The object of this proposition is to prevent the Republicans from dividing upon various schedules which might be presented. The necessity of this ar rangement was developed by the de bate, and the various contentions of senators. In the early part of the caucus, Sen ator Aldrich was called upon for an ex planation of the bill, and some of the amendments. During the remarks, Senator Ciillom oalled for a statement on the sugar schedulo, over which there has been so much controversy. The exDlanation nresented was larselvtech nioal, but the senators who heard him understood that the house schedule will largely exclude the coarse and low grades from Java, the Philippine isl ands and other points. The protection in the senate bill was 75 per cent, and equalized the high protection on low grades and high grades. The effect of the house schedulo would be to shut off the lower and cheaper grades of sugar, the system of compound duties pre sented by the senate bill being for the purpose of making this equality. The average rate in the senate bill was 76 per oent, with a differential of one eighth cent on refined sugar. Senator Aldrich said this was not as advanta geous to the sugar refiners as the hoiise bill. The explanation seemed to cause general satisfaction; at least, no one questioned the senator further. Debate on various schedules con sumed the time of the caucus. A great deal of opiosition was developed to the increased tax on beer, and duty on leather. Senators Piatt of Now York, Hanna of Ohio, and Spooner of Wis consin, were especially vigorous in the opposition to tho increased tax on beer. It was pointed out that the Democrats had already stated their op position to this tax, that they thought it would be wise to have an arrange ment effected whioh would relieve Re publican senators from embarrassment. It was determined that efforts should be in ado to secure the revenue both from beer and tea by a tax which would accomplish the same result. Western senators referred to the wool schedules. Senators Warren, of Wy oming, appearing as the spokesman for the woolurrowers of the West, said that the duties proposed by the committee were, in lus judgment, inadequate, and he thought there should bo some in creases on the lino of amendments pro posed by the Western Benators. This statement raised a storm among the Western men, who said that if suoh a method was proposed, they would be compelled to vote for placing certain articles on the free list, or reducing the duty on them. They did not expect the Democrats would vote with them to increase duties. The Westerners announced that to settle with the East ern men who voted to reduce the du ties on their products, they would Vote to reduce the duty on articles which their people purchased and did not produce. It was this state of affairs that brought forth the proposi tion of Senator Burrows to submit proposed changes to the Republican members of the finance committee and then to the caucus. There was no talk of bolting, and no senator said lie would vote against the bill as a whole. It was on the matter of schedules that they disagreed. The question of abrogating the Ha waiian treaty caused a lively debate. Senator Aldrich stated that the com mittee intended to bring in an amend ment to this portion of the bill. Sen ator Frye opposed the abrogation in the strongest possible terms, while Senator Nelson made a vigorous speech in sup port of the committee amendment, de claring that the revenue which would be raised from the duty on Hawaiian sugar would be greater than that which the committee expected to get from tea. He declared the admission of Hawaiian sugar free was in the interest of the sugar refiners DEMANDS ON SPAIN. Fenetuela. Mexico and China to I' rote 01 Subjects In Cuba. New York, May 26. A dispatch to the Journal from Havana says: In a demand recently made upon Spain through the Venezuelan consul, Persident Cream's government insist that citizens of that republic residing in (Jiuia snail, in case of arrest upon political charges, bo accorded equal privileges Willi citizens of the United States here, including exemption from trial by military tribunals and assur ances of a speedy judgment by civil courts.

He also denies that any guns fell into the bands of the enemy during the retreats from Reveni and Velestino. . The Berthel column (Italian) insisted on coming here, several of the volun teers refusing to return to Italy, on the ground that they are liable to arrest as deserters. The government has decid ed that the column must retum to Ital ian territory, and will undertake to board and lodge only those liable to arrest. General Weyler Interviewed. New York, May 20. A dispatch to the Journal from Ceinfuegus, Cuba, says: In an interview with Captain Gen eral Weyler.upon bis arrival here from Placeraa, in reference to Senator Mor gan's resolution, the general said: I am not surprised with the action thus far taken, nor shall I be if tho house concurs in the senate resolution and sends it to the president. Your jingoes are in the saddle, and evidently bent upon forcing the country into some foreign complications in order to i distract attention from the fast-ap proaching internal crisis: ' "The few scattering bands of Cuban dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse and cattle thieves, plantation burners and highwaymen now in the field here, who hold no port and possess no seat of civil government, have no right to expect recognition. Such distinction at President MoEinley's hands, issued in the face of my own proclamation officially declaring the greater part of the island to be already pacified, would hold the Wushingotn executive up to the ridicule of European powers, and prompt a healthy outburst of sympathy for the Spanish cause, especially from neighboring Old-World governments, also possessing colonies in tho West In dies. In brief, recognition muy aid The Ambassadors Instructed. London, May 25. The correspond ent of the Times at Constantinople says: The powers have instructed tho ambassadors to act as their rcpresen tatives in mediating between Turkey and Greece. A collective note will be handed to the porte forthwith. Palace circles now realize that great maladdress has been displayed on the Turkish side. The question is how to retreat from the present situation with out humiliation, and a change of minis try is being discussed as the best way to save appearances. Amount of the Indemnity. London, May 25. The Standard cor respondent at Constantinople says the peace negotiations continue. It is sorted the amount of indemnity will be reduced to 8,000,000, 2,000,000 to be paid in cash to Turkey and 6,000,000 to bo accepted by Russia as part payment of the indemnity owed her by Turkey, It is said here that after the simper sion ol Hostilities, tne weeks, nndor tho pretense of washing their linen, crossed the bridge over the Arta and were attacked by Turkish commanders, who drove them back, after heavy fighting for ten hours.

The Athens cor the Cuban junta in placing a few bonds I fPondent of the Times says that ow- in the United States, but it will at the same time assure the successful issue of our proposed new Spanish loan in Paris, London and Vienna, and enable us to carry on tho war with renewed vigor. "Personally, I shall be glad. If rec ognition comes, our position will then be more clearly defined. It will work a virtual abrogation of our special trea ty with the United States, place Yan kees residing in Cuba in an identical position before tho courts with other foreign residents, and I shall be trou bled less by constant complaints and often ridiculous demands from Ameri can consuls. It would also relieve the Spanish government of nil responsibil- ity for the destruction of foreign prop erty not actually within the line tf Spanish defenses, and further simplify matters by assuring us the right to board and search Amorioan vessels whenever suspected." Continuing, tne captain-genoral ex pressed dulight ot the proposition to have consuls here furnish freo trans portation to all Americans who desire to go to the United States, but said ho considered the plan to distribute to res ident Americans as an indirect and un justified attempt to interfere in local affairs. The Luetgert Munlor. , Chicago, May 20. While lying un der a bed in the home of Frank Biulk, the former night watchman at tho Lnetgert factory, one of Captain Sehut tier's detectives is said to have lis tened to a conversation between the ac cused wife murder and tho watchman. Tho admissions made by Luotgort on this occasion are said to have caused the immediate arrest of the men, and the story of what his employe will be tohl tomorrow in Justice Kersten's court Other portions of Bialk's testi mony will be nearly as interesting. lie will swear that Lnetgert ordered him to remain away from the vat room on the night of May 1, that twice during the night he sent him out for a bottle of medicine. Upon his return with these articles Lnetgert each time op ened the barred doors, reached through the opening, took the bottlo and hast ily closed and barred the door. Several witnesses were examind in the case today, but nothing of import ance was developed. Port Townsend, Mar 20. Sealers are now fully realizing tne fact that disasters never come singly. After a remarkably hard season and unprece- dentedly light catch, they are able to get an offer of only 5 per skin. The fleet of Neah bay Indians, seven boats in all, 10 men to each boat, averaged only 47 skins. The Indians say they will never again go on a sealing expe dition as it takes upward of t'-IOO to buy supplies for the boats foi a sao son's rmise. ing to the disquietude caused by the presence in the city of large bodies of volunteers, the government has hastily recalled the force of gendarmes sent to Arta, and will take measures to deport these dangerom allies to their various countries at the earliest possible date. Most of the volunteers making up the Berthel column are anarchists, and the government has dealt wisely in refus ing to allow them to come here, al 'liough they insisted on the privilege. The government sent them from Arta ;o Seavarda, and there disarmed them, with orders to leave for Italy in Greek vessels. Thereupon they began to in dulge in all sorts of excesses, and got into conflict with the inhabitants, with the result that one Italian was killed and six were seriously wounded. Finally, after a great deal of trouble, they were sent to Bringzie, under the escort of two Greek men-of-war. Excesses of the Italians. London, May 25. The correspond ent of the Daily Telegraph in Epirus gives a terrible picture of the excesses of the Italians, while traveling from Arta to Zaverda. He says: "They stole brandy and drank it like water. Armed only with revolv ers and bayonets, by the time- they reached Zaverda they were quarreling fiercely among themselves. The vil lagers, thoroughly alarmed, gathered in readiness to fight the Italians, and the situation became serious. A Greek tried to pacify a Garibaldian, who was about to dash his brains ont with a stone, whereupon an Italian fired and wounded the Greek. Instantly, tho cry was raised 'A Greek has been killed I' and the villagers began to fire their rifles. The firing becamo general, but the Italians displayed a flag of truce, and the embarkation was effected though with great difficulty. "Several officers told me they did not expect to reach land alive, as their ruffianly soldiers would surely kill them." Armistice May Be rrolnncrd. Paris, May 25. Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, had a long conference to day with M. Honataux, minister of foreign affairs. It is understood that the Greco-Turk ish armistice will be prolonged if, at its expiration, the peace negotiations should not be finished. The Hetairia at Work. Athens, May 25. The forces of the Ethnike Hetairia have distinguished themselves more since than during the war. Bands of irregular deserters are pillaging and devastating the PhthiolU district, where the condition of the vil lages is most lamentable. two Parsons Perished and Three 14 jured In 'W York.

The injured are: Mrs. Mary C. or darrio Bowles, boarding-houso koepor it 28 Hollis street, Boston, dangerously burt; Miss MacDonald, slightly burned )n the face; F. S. Phaps, slightly burned on the face. While a tenant named Lamont was srawling tho narrow sill to reach the idjoining houso, the body of a woman 'truck a large sign which hung on tho )ntside and to which he clung for sup port. The sign was torn from its fas tenings and fell with a crash to the street. The woman was Mrs. Bowles, who had precipitated herself from the third Boor to the street below when she found that egress from the house by way of the stairs was choked by the flames. She waa picked up and taken to the hospital. ' The origin of the fire is not known. but it is believed that a belated tenant lit a matoh in the hallway to see his way and carelessly tossed the still burning match away. The fire started t the foot of the stairs, and the light wall acted as a flue to carry the flames to the roof instantly. KT MARK HANNA'S FURNACE. k Number of Workmen Seriously Burt In Newcastle. Newcastle, Pa., May 25. This morn ing, tbe big Kosena I urn ace, in tnis city, owned by benntor Mark Hanna and ex-Senator Cameron, let go, and the next instant a heavy volume of ooke, iron ore and coal came crashing through the roof of the casting house, burying in the neighborhood of 80 men under the debris. Manager Keis was taken out with skin hanging in shreds from his hands and arms, and his legs were terribly burned and bruised. A number of others were badly burned and bruised.

Sinclair, in company with five young men, started at 8 A. ju. lor a general day's outing, their destination being about 12 miles from town. Upon ar riving at the creek the party ate lunch. and all went in bathing. Sinclair, who was unable to swim, had waded out a few yards from shore, and accidentally tepped off into a deep and. treacherous pool, and, before his excited compan ions could rescue him, had sank for tbe last time. The news was brought to this plaoe, and everything possible was done to recover the body, but with out avail. Giant powder will be used tomorrow in an effort to raise tbe body. Sinclair was 24 years of age, and leaves an aged father and mother to mourn bis loss. Manos in Disgrace. London, May 25.
