Barcelona, Venezuela, May 4. Pres
ident Palacia has sent an army from the
capital to engage the- enemy. A battle
may be expected south of Caracas. The
object of the president in this move
seems to be to draw the revolutionists'
from Valencia and Calabossa, which
they now surround, preventing commu
nication between the government gen
erals Ybarra, Aran jo and Casanas, who
are located in these towns and the cap
ital. If Palacio's. forces . should prove
victorious, they will undoubtedly march
to the rejief t of the beseiged eities.
Palacio seems to have arrived at the
conclusion that he must act aggressively
or the revolutionists will become so pow
erful that they will sweep all before
them.
Reported Furchut of Socorro.
; San. Prakcisco,- May 4. A rather
startling story is circulated here," that
part of the island of Socorro, off the
coast of Mexico tend " belonging, to that
repiiblic, has been 'sold-' to the British
government. , Iti stated the price paid
was $100,000. Socorro is not much of
an island, but there is a good bay there
and it would be a first-lass place for a
coaling station. ' .England is very anx
ious to make a coaling station in that
part of the world, and this fact lends
color to the story. ; ; At the Mexican con
sulate they say they have no news of
such a sale and do not think it is a prob
able event. A merchant, whose advices
keep him constantly informed concern
ing occurrences in Mexico said : "The
Diaz government would' not dare make
such a sale. In the first place they
would not offend the United States, as
this would undoubtedly do. -. But the
main argument 'Bgainst the probability
of the sale of the island is that the Mex
ican people are -exceedingly jealous of
their land and would resent the sale of a
foot of it. It would produce much the
same effect as the sale of. an American
island would on your . people." The is
land of Socorro is one of the group near
which the . brig 1 Tahiti was lost. The
island is uninhabited, and is covered by
rugged mountains.
; Arson as a Fine Art, .
Chicago, May 5, The recent trapping
of certain professors of arson in Chicago
is very important for more reasons than
one. The ' disclosures, prove that the.
Bretestable crime is not confined to skulking-
mauraudera, bent on ' revenge or
plunder. . The. systematic defrauding of
insurance companies was carried on by
fires started deliberately in. fashionable
residence districts. According to, the
preliminary evidence, a band of well
dressed conspirators moved from place
to place,' taking out policies on1 cheap
furniture and then setting fire to the
furniture. Q Ia"thi way- mf snug 'sum
seems to have been realized from the in
surance companies. The boldness of this
procedure is not the only thing con
nected with It that is of interest to the
public. It is the possible consequences
of arson that : render it "so infamous a
crime. ' Bad aa is the burning ef buai-
ness -property, those who- deliberately
get fire to occupied dwellings at night
easily saitfeasa that grade 6f. crime. .

California yesterday L among whom is a
Mrs. Knight,"' niece' of the millionaire
Charles Crocker deceased. Mrs. Knight
is a widow, forty-eight years Of age, and
has three children ir to 20 year of age,
who, as aooh ' as they fihish ' their -education
they will join - their mother; and
devote their lives to Dr. : Teed and the

Mrs. Knight has given all her . wealth
. Sweaters and the Public. ' .
Washixgtou, May 5. The wage-workers
have persuaded congress to under
take an investigation ; of sweaters in
American cities that have " already had
good results from the publicity of its in
quiries.. iBepressive legislation may-be
found necessary but ho one expects that
it wiU reach the root of the evil. ' The
influence of loosely, administered immi
gration laws upon the overcrowded labor
market in cities is a legitimate "corollary
of the present investigation. rThe awak
ening of boards of health to the enormity
of disease-breeding workshops is another
result that is hoped for. Butthe setting
of the legal machinery in .motion wijl
hardly help the victims -of the 'sweating
process as much as the formation of a
sound public sentiment against thought
lessly countenancing the evil. Individ
uals tcan' make sweat shops unpopular
and ' unprofitable. - The ' purchaser of
clothes can insist on knowing the con
ditions under which 'they ' were made.
He can refuse to patronize the emporium
where goods are handled that are the
product, of sweat-shops. - '

arrested man had in his possession : five
powerful dynamite cartridges, and it is
believed if he had not talked indiscreetly

a detective in disguise,' that Mods would
nave suffered a serious and disastrous
explosion. ''. Four other 'men will 'soon
be arrested. - The police today discovered

beyond all question that the majority of
the members of congress believes this
bill is an important one and ought to be
passed. The action of the house today
in deciding to consider,' the1 Vbill means
practically that when the time comes ' it
will go through. It was observed .that

Evans is a well-tokio and easy-going
farmer of this town, past middle-- age.
He married, late in life, a woman mneh
younger than : himself. - She liked to
wear good clothes and have lively com
panions. Eli Jones, a vounsr man about.
town, who was said to have been an ad
mirer 01 Mrs. Evans before she was rn.tr.
ried, continued to pay her marked atten-
none. Alter marriage the unsuspicious -farmer
raised no objections, although
other people we're less tolerant, and won
dered how farmer Evans ' could permit
his wife to nasa so mnlit;mo in v.v.
company of the gay young bachelor Jones. ,
uneaay last Week Mrs. Evans expressed
a desire to go to Utica. and -get some
spring dresses. The same dav Mr. Jones.
came around and suggested to Mr. Evans -:
mat ne contemplated making a business
trip to Utica, and if Mr., Evans , would
lend his carriaee. he ( Jones would rlrivo
Mrs. Eyans to the citv and, return, that
lady and the rig safely home at a season
able time., Mr. Evans lent : .Tnnoa th
I carriage and bountifully replenished his '
wiie s purse lor. tne. stioppuig tour. The
pair, failed to return at the appointed,
hour, a ad a hasty search of . the house'
disclosed the fact that thev had carried
off with them a big trunk containing all of
Mrs. H.vans' best dresses and jewelry
and the family silverware'. The fugitives
have been traced across the country to'
Herkimer,'! and are ' reported . to have- :
taken a West hore train there for Chi
cago. Mr. Evans will begin "an action
for divorce. '.;' ;'
An Important Bspedltion- ' " ,
New Yobk, ;May' 4.-W.. H. Ollder. -who,
with Lieutenant Schwatka,; won
fame in bringing back from the Northern
regions information respecting Franklin '
and his expedition, ' again proposes to -makea
journey to the North, this time
at th head of a party .to ' make a mag--netie'eurvey
of the region immediately-; '
surrounding the Northern magnetic pole.
The American Geographical society, the"
National Academy of sciences at " Wash- "
lngtoii, members of . the United States
coast survey and a number of other -scientists
are interested in the proposed
expedition. ' Although some funds have
been pledged for fitting out the party
and carrying on the work, nothing defi
nite has been determined in the way of "
plans and the money ' required. The-;
American " Geographical' society, witli
Col. Gilder, has taken the initiative in
the matter, and for the purpose of dis
cussing the exploration the society "held" .
a special meeting last night in Chicker
inghall. Prof. Trowbridge said as the
result of the expedition the magnetic -pole
might not only be located, but the
whole' world Ot terrestrial physics bene- ;
fitted. He .said in his opinion ' aU mag
netic surveys bri land should be prohib- -ited,
as the true importance and bene
fits - derived vwer on sea alone. He
looked forward to the- ti me when a sta
tion would be established in the neigh- .
borhood of the tnagne tic' pole, and tele
graphic' communication made between
it and the rest of the world.- - - -
