fact of West's plea of guilty and his
confession were considered in the light
sentence given him, of only twenty-five
months for the embezzlement of $15.

TO GIVE ALL SATISFACTION.
Alllanes Affair Will Be Settled as the
United States Demand.
Washington, April 26.—Secretary
Oresham has received a dispatch from
Mr. Hannls Taylor, United States min
ister at Madrid, assuring h.m that
Spain would accede to the demand of
the United States In the Alllanca affair,
and that the .captain of the Conde de
Venadito would be put on trial for his
offense for firing at an American vessel
outside the zone. The tone of the dis
patch is such that the state department
feels its course will be absolutely vin
dicated by the result. One of the prin
cipal missions with which Mr. De Lome,
the new minister of Spain to the United
States, was charged was the Investi
gation of the affair. The new minister
proceeded to Havana instead of coming
direct to the United States, and it Is
presumed his report Influences the ac
tion of the Spanish government.
Will Mot Bulldoze Japan.
London, April 26.—The Daily News
announces positively that England will
not act In concert with the continental
powers regarding the Shimonoseki
treaty. It says editorially: "England's
refusal to co-operate with the other
powers is due solely to the desire not
to take part In matters in which she
has no immediate concern. We trust It
Is not the policy of any of the powers
to do more than endeavor to persuade
Japan. There Is nothing to be gained
worth even the remote risk of war.”

LIQUOR TAX IN MICHIGAN.
Uniform Requirements of R500 Will
Hereafter Be the Law.
Lansing, Mich., April 26.—The sen
ate last night by a unanimous vote dis
posed of the liquor tax question by pass
ing the bill which passed the house two
weeks ago, fixing the uniform tax at
6500. A determined effort was made to
make the tax payable July 1 Instead of
May 1, and also to secure concessions
which would permit saloons to be kep|,
open on secular holidays, but they were
unsuccessful. On the final vote the ad
vocates of these amendments Joined
with the friends of the bill and made
the vote unanimous, afterwards voting
to give the measure immediate effect.

are being completed for the forthcom
ing meeting In this city of the general
assembly of the Presbyterian and the
general assembly of the United Pres
byterian church. Almost the entire ac
commodations of all the hotels have
been pre-empted, and Baptists, Metho
dists and Episcopalians have Joined
hands with their Presbyterian breth
ren in throwing open their homes for
the accommodation of the visitors. The
only objection to the proposal is based
upon the fact that Pittsburg has no hall
large enough to entertain so large an
assemblage and that It would be neces
sary to rent one of the theaters.
GOOD TONE TO TRADE.
FEWER SICNS OF HESITATION
NOTICED.
IVliolciome Gain* Notwithstanding that
Sales Are Behind Production in Som
Branches—Good Trade In Dry Goods—
Week’s Failures.
New York, April 29.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says:
“Neither the rising speculative mar
kets nor the steady gain in Industries
has ceased, and it is wholesome that
there are fewer sgns of hesitation in
the productive industries than in spec
ulative prices. Wage strikes grow more
numerous and cause some trouble, and
retail demand lags behind wholesale
and Jobbing purchases behind produc
tion in some branches, but through
many conflicting reports the fact shines
out that the industries are gaining, not
with a rush and a whirl but more safe
ly. Cotton mills are getting more
money for goods and have quite gener
ally advanced wages. Consumption of
northern spinners at the maximum
would be in eight months 1,350,000 bales,
but they have actually taken 1,950,000
and have a profit on 600,000 bales con
trolled of over $4,000,000. The consump
tion is large and advances seem to be
warranted. Iron production, stimulat
ed because ore, coke and oil were to be
dearer, is retarded by shrinking de
mand for products, for on the whole
new business is said to be smaller than
in February or March.
"The structural demand for buildings
throughout the country was never
larger: the frenzy in oil has started a
large demand for pipe and sheets at
slight advances. Bessemer pig is lower
and sales of southern pig in northern
markets have been large at 25 cents
advance. Finished products are nearly
all at their lowest price.
“Wool has sold at the lowest price on
record this week, 16 cents for Ohio and
9 cents for Texas, and offers to clear
off stocks before new supplies come
forward tempt manufacturers to pur
chase beyond present needs. Sales of
foreign, 8,117,300 pounds in three weeks
of April, against 9,292,500 domestic,
made the total 17,409,800. against 15.
906,100 in 1892, and less of course in '93
and ’94.
“The demand for dress goods contin
ues large and improving, but uncer
tainty in men’s wear goods continues,
and is somewhat Increased by more nu
merous strikes. ■ Colored flannels are 5
to 7% per cent lower, and an auction
sale is to be held and some Irregularity
appears in prices for fine fancy goods.
"Higher prices for wheat—nearly 3
cents above last week’s—tend to check
Atlantic exports which, flour included,
were only 1,868,873 bushels for the week,
against 2,620,445 last year, though for
the previous two weeks about equal to
last year’s.
"Cotton touched 7 cents, receding to
6.93; 1,312,306 bales had come into sight
last week, and British exports of goods
were 120,000,000 yards less in the first
quarter this year than last. With such
facts the rise does not help to lessen
southern acreage.
“The failures for the week have been
230 in tlie United States against 179 last
year, and 37 in Canada against 26 last
year.”
Will Evict the Flouroy Tenants,
Lincoln, Neb., April 29.—Judges Dun
dy and Riner of the federal court have
declined to issue the mandatory injunc
tion asked by the government counsel
commanding the Flourney Land Com
pany and some 235 other tenants to get
off the Indian lands at the Omaha and
Winnebago reservations in Thurston
county. Agent Beck will continue evic
tions of the Flourney tenants.
Omaha, Neb., April 27.—Capt. Beck,
the Indian agent at the Winnebago res
ervation, says when he returns to the
reservation he will enforce the govern
ment regulations, and he will comply
with instructions from Washington in
the meantime while waiting for the dis
position of certain litigation to come
up at the May term of the federal court.
This will affect about 2,500 persons. He
anticipates no trouble.
May Conflict with the Federal law.
Charleston. S. C., April 29.—The dis
pensary law in this state threatens
shortly to assume the proportions of a
fight between the federal and state gov
ernments. In addition to the temporary
Injunction heretofore granted by Judge
Goff, restraining the state authorities
from seizing contraband liquors
brought into the state, another injunc
tion was issued by Judge Simonton of
the United States circuit court yester
day which promises to hasten matters
to immediate issue. Gov. Evans has
said he will not obey the injunction,
and has instructed the constabulary to
go ahead with their seizures.
No Strike Among Illinois Miners.
Springfield, 111., April 29.—Concerning
the reports of an impending general
Btrlke among the miners ex-State Presi
dent J. A. Crawford of the United Mine
Workers of America has the following
to say: "The rumors of a general strike
are false. Being in direct communica
tion continually with the national office,
if any strike was apparent I would be
aware of the facts. Now the only strike
features apparent in this state are
simply some local matters that we be
lieve we can adjust without any lasting
difficulty.”
Be port That Ten Men Are Drownea
Baltimore, Md., April 29.—A report
comes from Burham's wharf, Middle
sex County, Va., that during a storm
on the Rappahannock ten men (two
white and eight colored) were drowned.
When the storm broke a number of ca
noes sought safety under the lee of a
vessel. The vessel dragged anchor and
the canoes were cut loose. It was the
occupants of these boats that were
drowned.

Wisconsin Forest Firm Harmless.
Ashland, Wis., April 29.—Reports ot

MISTAKEN IDENTITY,
Onrrant's Attorneys Try to Briny Wolfe
Into the Murder Case.
San Francisco, Cal.. April 29.—Dur
ing the early days of Durrant’s trial an
attempt was made by his counsel to
cast suspicions upon the Rev. George
Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church. His
attorneys have so far failed in develop
ing any tangible evidence. Elmer A.
Wolfe, a witness of the prosecution,
who corroborated previous testimony
concerning Durrant’s tardiness and
disheveled appearance at the Christian
Endeavor meeting of Good Friday
evening, yesterday was cross-examined
by the defendant's attorney, who en
deavored to show that a similarity be
tween the shoes and overcoats of Wolfe
and Durrant and the resemblance in
statue had led to Durrant’s mistaken
identification by persons who had
really seen Wolfe. He accounted for all
his movements. Chief Crowley said in
the Lamont case the police would pre
sent an even stronger chain of circum
stantial evidence against Durrant than
in the present case.
CHARGES BIG CANAL STEAL.
Scandal Involving S3,000,000 to Come
Cp at Ottawa, Canada.
Ottawa, Ont., April 29.—Signs of an
impending storm in the house of com
mons equal to the scandal session of
1891 are not wanting. Mr. Choquette, a
promient Liberal member, has discov
ered irregularities connected with the
new Sault Ste. Marie canal. The
amount Involved is over $3,000,000. Mr.
Choquette says the walls of the new
canal already show signs of disintegra
tion and are bulging Inwards. He also
alleges a considerable portion of the
original appropriation for the Soo
canal was diverted to other purposes.
Mr. Choquette* declares he is prepared
to make the most sweeping charges of
political jobbery and corruption against
the government. There is considerable
anxiety manifest among government
supporters as to what stand the govern
ment will take when the matter comes
up in the house next week.
Murder Mystery In Milwaukee,
Milwaukee, Wis., April 29.—What will
probably prove another murder mys
tery for the police to solve came to light
last night. The victim is Henry Mosher
of Rochester, N. Y., 29 years of age,
who left his boarding house Thursday
morning with about $150 in his pocket,
and whose body was picked up in the

of the face.
Woman Kills a Man She Loves.
New York, April 29.—Maria Barberl
killed Dominico Cataldi yesterday,
nearly severing his head from his body
with a razor. He had deceived her and
refused to fulfill his promise of mar
riage. Maria does not deem it strange
that she murdered a man who had de
ceived her, and when taken to the sta
tion-house and charged with the crime
she talked about the affair in a cool,
unconcerned manner, as if she had
done what was natural and right un
der the circumstances.
Many Cities Suffer by One Failure.
Buffalo, N. Y., April 29.—Many bucket
shops throughout the United States and
Canada are heavy sufferers by the fail

$250,000. The assets are scattered
through various banks in New York,
Pennsylvania and Canada, and cannot
be figured out for some time. His cred
itors will undoubtedly suffer a great
loss.

San Francisco, Cal., April 29.—Consul
General C. D. Wilder of Hawaii and

Mexico, Mo., April 29.—Intelligence

ville, a small town in Pike county about
thirty miles east of here on the Chicago
