The Venezuela Commission Will Not Ke-

hnrg Reformers Pleaded Ouilty
Statehood BiUs Go Over.
Washington, April 24. In the cau
cus of republican senators yesterday
mention was made of several general
bills which it was considered impor
tant should receive attention before
adjournment, among them being the
Pacific railroads, the bankruptcy, im
migration and tilled cheese bills. But
it was the general ouinion that no
it:erapt should be made to get up any
of these at the expense of appropria
tion bills and that they should be post
poned until the appropriation bills are
out of the way. The order of their
I consideration will be left wholly to the
steering committed.
Considerable interest was manifested
in caucus as to the attitude of the dem
ocrats on the subject of adjournment,
but no one was able to give definite
information on this point. It was
stated, however, that so far the iudivid-.
ual democrats have expressed a wish
for early adjournment. Senator Sher
man appointed Messrs. Allison,
Aldrich, Hale, Davis, Quay, McMillian,
Dubois, Perkins and Pritchard as a
I steering committee.

Washington, April 24. The report

been little progress as yet, toward hav

Proposed Reforms In Cuba Will Amount
to Nothing, '
New York, April 27. A World
dispatch from Madrid says:
It is now evident that the Spanish
government has determined to ayoid
giving offense to those jingo news
papers of wide circulation which are
leading the .anti-American campaign,
or to the republicans who constantly
look out for pretexts and opportunities
to attack existing institutions and
royalty.
The general impression in political
and diplomatic circles is that the gov
ernment will go only so far in granting
administrative and economical reforms
to the West Indies as will give the op
position in the cortes no chance to
make those reforms an issue against
the conservative cabinet. Premier
Cinoya9 will go no further because he
oes not wish to displease General
Weyler and his army and the Cuban
reactionary party, as well as the major
ity of the Spaniards who prefer to post
pone all thuse concessions until Gen
eral Weyler crushes the rebellion, or
at least detaches from the insurrection
the-white chiefs and their followers, to
enable Spain then to exterminate
Maceo and his colored rebels.
The Spanish government is not like
ly to grant to the West Indies execu
tive autonomy or an insular council
with any initiative in finance or tariff
matters that might clash with the in
terests of the mother country. It is
useless to indulge in the belief that
the present government will eo be
yond the very slight degree of home
rule embodied in last year's bill,
which in nowise implies even political
autonomy. In official quarters it is
said that Premier Canovas is more
than ever persuaded that President
Cleveland will not recognize the bel-
lis-erencv of the Cubans nop.Piorx.ka
nor exercise
pressure on the Madrid government,
because the European powers sympa
thize with Spain in her resistance to
American interference. Emboldened
by the present aspect of affairs, the
Madrid press coolly asserts that Spain
might admit any mediation, even
European, sooner th ah A raeViean.4 "

SLELQCIZO'S liuXCHERIES.
Murders Peaceable Countrymen In Cold
Blood Fleeing to Havana.
Key West, Fla., April 27. A letter
from Havana, dated April 25, says :
While Delgado, the American, is
slowly convalesing from the wounds
inflicted on him by Spanish soldiers
under General Melquizo's bidding sev
eral weeks ago, the brutal Spanish
officer is still butchering people in
Havana province. Although official
investigation shows that Melquizo is 1
guilty of all the charges against him,
he has not been suspended from his
command. . He is said to possess in
fluence enough in Madrid to make it
exceedingly uncomfortable for any
superior officer who might endeavor to
bring him to punishment.
News received here tells of his con
duct during, the past two weeks. Near
Campo Florido, so the information
runs, Melquizc arrested nine peaceable
countrymen and by his orders they
were killed. At Minas, 19 "pacifocos"
fell into his clutches and were shot.
Near Balbo be razed 10 farms and
gathered in 40 laborers who were killed
in cold blood. The moat horrible phase
of the last butchery is the fact that
women and children were among those
massacreed. In the vicinity of Juaraco,
Melquizo ordered the slaughter of 47
persons who were taken from fields
where they were at work.
In Melquizo's territory the people
are flocking to Havana to escape him.

Kansas City, April 23. A special
to the Times from Topeka taya five
persons at least were killed outright,
three were fatally and 17 more or less
seriously injured, and great destruc
tion of property was wrought, by a cy
clone wnicn passed over Clay county
last night.
Passengers on the Rock Island
tram from the northwest this after
noon brought partial details of the cy
clone. It started about six miles
south of Clifton and went in a north
easterly direction for 12 or 15 miles,
then lost its . force by spreading. It
passed about half way between Clifton
and Morgan ville. Its track varied
from 150 yards to a quarter of a mile in
width.. It tore through fi, farming
community and left nothing standing.
Houses and barns were wrecked, trees
torn up or broken, fences leveled and
haystacks blown in every direction,
The cyclone was followed by a terrific
rain storm, which lasted several hours,
flooding the devastated district.

Washington, April 2o. The tariff

of considering appropriation bills

Date, isnermaa endeavored to secure
action on the bill relating to fruit
brandies and alcohol used in the arts.
Chandler gave warning, however, that
if the bill was taken up it would in
volve a debate on the entire tariff I
question. Piatt went further by stat-
I in that if thia correction of the rev-
enue laws was attempted, he would
urge that the entire Wilson law be re
pealed and the former McKinley law
revived. ' After these announcements,
the vote on Sherman's motion to pro

The Bermuda Taking on Another Load at
Jacksonville.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 2G. The
steamer Bermuda arrived in port at 6
o'clock tonight and anchored in mid
stream, directly opposite the Clyde
dock. Tugs having a covered barge in
tow, loaded with arms and ammunition,
at once put out for the steamer. The
barge was taken to the far side of ' the
steamer and concealed from view of
the city. Hoisting machinery was at
once set to work unloading boxes from
barge to the Bermuda. " This was com
pleted about 11 o'clock. Six large
lifeboats, capable of holding 50 men
each, which arrived a short 1 time ago
from New York, were also put aboard
the Bermuda. In the meantime, the
Cubans in the city took about 50 for
eign Cubans to the docks, where tht-y
were transported in launches and row
boats to the steamer. Many others
are reported to have been on board

Gold Mines.
A person is never greater surprised
than. when informed that the best pity
ing gold mines in the world are those
in which the ore never exceeds an av
erage of $10 per ton, yet the masses of
the people believe that the great gold .
mines produce $200 to $300 per ton."
The Treadwell mine on Douglass Is
land in Alaska, which has paid a
greater dividend to its owners and
stockholders for the last seven years
than any other mine in the world, has
never exceeded $8 per ton on an av
erage for twelve months. The next
great producing mine in the United
States is the Homestead, and this
mine on an average gives lees than $8
a ton. The Anaconda mine at Butte
gives an average of $12.60 per ton; the
richest mines In South Africa on an
average do not exceed $11 per ton.

The DandeUou Pest.
A new pest to lawns-has developed
this season in the shape of dandelions,
and these are ' over-crowding our
hitherto beautiful patches of blue grass
and clover. In some instances they
have completely covered the area, and
scarcely a blade of grass appears. A
righteous warfare against them has
begun: but the result is very doubtful,
for the prolific root of daudelions pierce
the ground to a depth of several feet.
This growth is said to possess great
medicinal qualities; but our experience
proves it to be more showy than use
