Just liefore the final adjournment of the machinists, it is sid they passed resolu tions in secret demanding that those who had charge of typesetting machines shall be members of the international association of machinists. The sessions of the machinists were held in secret, and the passing of the resolution was supposed to have been known only to the convention. The officers of the con vention af'erxard denied that such a 'step had been aken and it was given ont that the matter had finally been re ferred without action. As the position ai letted to have been taken by the ma chinists is Htrenously opposed by the typographical union . and the "engi neerr," a sharp fight is anticipated, if iucli a measure has really been adopted.

Christiansen of the South Bend police department was shot and instantly killed shortly after 10 o'clock last night. Detective James Millea of Chicago, for many years an employe of the Lake Shore railroad, as detective, is locked up here on the strength of a statement of ancther de tective, Ja -k Ca'iiey, of Elkhart, Ind., who says M i Ilea did the shooting. It was at firet generally sup-iosed that tramps killed th. oilier, as the latter was on watch for hoboes who had bro ken open Lake Shore freight cars at Elkhart. Two tramps left a train at the Michi gan street crossing and one of them, on seeing the oflieer, began running across the common just north of the tiack. Christiansen started after him and a fusilade of idiots began, one ball strik ing the patrolman in the face, kill'ng Jhim iiiMantly. The chief of police bad information pointing to either Carney or Miilea, Carney soon after fastened the crime on Millea. The latter took it coolly, lie is raid to have killed three men during the big railway strike in Chicago. One hundred tramps had been arrested on suspicion and were driven out of the city today. t.anj- Kiiila In a Hint, Sharon, Pa., May 13.

A dispatch to the Herald from Havana, via Key West, l'la., says: Apparently reliable news of the most imporunt insurgent success in mor.ths has just reached Havana. It appears that Gen Calixito Garcia and General Babi fell on a Spanish forci which was carrying food and supplies from Man zanillo to Bayamo, early last week, cap tured the convoy, routed General LonoB column, and pursued him so vigorously that he fled to the coast with the rem nant of his brigade and took a ship at Caboeorus for Manzasillo. , It is said that so severe were the losses and so thoroughly disorganized were tiis men that theSpunish general did not dare att .pt to retrace his steps to Manzani . by land, fearing that he would be aain attacked and this time wiped out of existence. These engagement, which are regard ed by the Cubans here as more impor tant than any battle since Caearijic: ra, go to show how helpless the fcipai. h are in the country east of the truclia. Spain has lost 5,000 men and food and arms without end along toe road to I'.ay amo and now the Spanish soldiers call it "the road to death." A I! If ting- Wreck, San Francisco, May 14.

The loss to stock and plant is estimated at from $400,000 to $425,000, with insurance of $-115,000. The build ings destroyed numbered ten, four of which were two and a half story frame structures, and one a five-story build ing. The remaiuder were one-story sheds. Tho fire had almost full sway after it started, from the fact that the fireman could not. get to the rear of the strip of Ian 1 on which the tannery was situated, being bounded on three sides by tidewater. Almost simultaneously five tenement houses on Telegraph hill were burned. The families occupying them barely es caped with their lives, so rapidly did the flames spread in the ramshackle wooden houses. Loss, about $75,f,00.

IN" TJ1E SENATE Senate Discusses the Morgan Cuban Resolution at Length. ITS PASSAGE MAY ESTRANGE SPAIN Senator Hale Thinks Tliat the Fpaniah Minlatnr Would Demand Hi i'aiwp rU aud lime Morgan and Turpi Defend Th mieltre. Washington, May 11. The Morgan Cuban resolution was discussed at con siderable lengt h in the senate yesterday. For the first time since the debate be gan the opposition sentiment expressed itself. The speeches were not of a kind to stimulate the galleries, being in the main calm and dispassionate reviews of the situation in Cuba. Mr. Hale main tained that it would tie most unwise to einbarass the president by the adoption of these resolutions at a time when he wks investigating the subject. He inti mated, also, that the adoption of the resolution would lead to the withdrawal of the Spanish minister and the termi nation of diplomatic relations between Spain and the United States. The sen ator eaid few real Americans were im prisoned in Cuba. He had never heard of a genuine Yankee being among them. They were all Sanguillys or Delgados or Ruizs. The senator said (he real mo tive lor the Morgan resolution was shown in the recent statement of Mr. Morgan that the passage of this reeolu tion would prevent Spain from maki:g a loan, and thus prevent her from put ting down the insurrection. Mr. Gallinger (rep., N. H.) ditsenlcd fr ini this statement, saying the ques tion of a loan was but one ground on which tlie friends of Cuba had favored the recognition of Cuban belligerency. Mr. Morgan also dissented. Referring to the reports that another Spanish loan as being negotiated, Mr. Turpie (dem. hi !.) said: "Spain ia n.w on its last legs finan cially. Shall we fill up her treasury? Are we charged with supporting and maintainins the Spanish credit? 16 it our duty to support too armies ana na vies of Spain cu laud and sea in her vain efforts to subject the patriots of Cuba once more to the oppression of the Spanish yoke? I think not. But the eenator from Maine i-ay-i that if we pass the resolution the Spanish minister will ask for bis passports, break up diplo matic relations and go home. I do not attach importance to that consequence. Ministers have heretofore received their conge and gone away without destroying the political, geographical or physical equilibrium of the American hemi sphere. I do not attach the slightest importance to the fact that the Spanish minister may be instructed to ask for hi papers, to suspend diplomatic rela tions and to go home." Japan After Hawaii.

News con tinues to arrive regarding the successes of General Garcia in the western part of the island. He bad a sharp engagement with the Spaniards at Holguin after the battle of Jaguina. The Spaniards out numbered him, but Garcia outgeneraled them, and attacked them in the rear and flank, put them in fligbr, capturing over 100 prisoners and inflicting consid erable loss. General Garcia has entire ! conroj 0f tne province now outside of the fortified towns, and moves about with entire freedom. ' .Two days' fighting recently occurred near Arroyo Blanco, in which the Cu bans won signal victories. Three bands of Spanish guerrillas were met in suc cession by' the Cuban force under Gen eral Betancovrt, and they fied in all di rections. The guerrillas lost heavily, j among the dead being two captains and three or four other officers. The details that have reached Havana are meager. A daring raid was made on La Encru- j cijida, on the Santa Clara seacoast, re I eently. An expedition had been lar.ded ! near there the day pievious, and the I 500 Cubans who escor;ed if, after taking J the cargo inland, returned to the coast, j They bad been well supplied with the ! new arms brought by the expedition, I and having plenty of cartridges, dashed into the town at midnight, going , through the different streets and tiring into the houees and at the Spanith headquarters, dashing over the senti nels and creating a general hubbub. The Spanish garrison, hastily aroused, did not know the strength of their as- ! saiiante, and w ere in a panicky condi- tion. As they emerged from their quar- ters they were mot with a withering fire i from the insurgents, w hich they re turned as best they could. The fighting in the streets continued for several hours, and when daylight broke and the Spaniards discovered how few the Cubans numbered, they mustered the entire garrison and drove the invaders out of town. The Cubans had during the night, however, entered a number of stores and secured a quantity of am munition and some arms. They also broke into the commandant's office and took $3,000 in silver. The raid was a ; most daring one, as the Spanish garri- j son consists of over 3,000 troops. The 1 Cuban loss was slight, considering the j amount of firing, and it is stated that I the Spanish lost a great many mert as I the Cubans knew where to fire, and their aim was accurate.

The following story comes from the house of the narrator's sifter at Meer ut, northwestern India: Two sisters are connected with families of undoubted repute, both in India and England. The narrator's a'ster was (seated at :i tai.le reading one evening, when, happening to lift her eyes from her book, she was astonished to see seated in a chair be fore her, and between herself and the door to the bathroom, a man, -a siraD ger to her, who calmly regarded her. It was loo great a surprise for her to speak and demand who was thus "'n truding unbidden upou her privacy, and what was wanted. She ivmniiied for a moment in that silent astonish ment. Then it gradually dawned upon her that the figure was probably not that of a person of real flesh and blood, but a visitor from the unseen world. She remembered having once, as a child, seen a similar figure, under circum stances which seemed to preclude the idea that it was any pen-on still tlie body, and, in later years, in revolving those circumstances, she had remem bered how the apparition had after a little while faded away into invisibil ity. Concluding that this visitor also was not a person of flesh and blood, she sat silently gazing at the subject, while the intruder, whoever or whatever he was, sat also in silence, steadily re garding her. How long this state of things lasted the lndy did not accur ately know, but it was probably not very long, when the mysterious stran ger began to vanish into a thinner nul thinner personal presence, until in a moment or two lie had vanished. She had been vaguely conscious that in a minute or so after she had first seen the strange visitor her two pet dogs had begun to hark furiously in another room. .It h:id been her in variable custom to take a bath at this time in the evening, after which she liberated the (logs. As the animals on ibis evening were making such a tre mendous and unwonted ado she open eel the door of the adjoining room to see what was exciting them. They 'it: once darted to the door of the bath room. This their mistress opened in time to see a huge cobra on the floor, the snake whose bite is certain death. The reptile raised its head angrily, but, apparently, became afraid of the dogs aud wriggled through a hole in the floor and escaped. But for the appear ance of the supernatural visitor she would, undoubtedly, have gone direct ly to her bath from the reading table, and would, with equal certainty, have been bitten by the snake. tiaws of Modern WnrTare.

He still has the tail, but the teeth are gone. After having bitten a number of people with those tusks Mike learned their utility and threat ened to do more biting, so Edward Haa be, the electrician, decided that the teeth must go. lie had already com pletely won Mike's heart, and had taught the monkey to ride on Hover's buck, to shake hands and do other things. So the trusting Mike suspect ed nothing when ltaabe took him on hi knee in the power house, and, taking n pair of nipper used in cuttting wire, told him to open his mouth. In a mo ment there was a crunch, a snap and a yell, mid one of Mike's tusks was it blunt stump just even with his little Incisors. The others quickly followed, alternating with yells and despairing appeals from Mike's eyes, and the prince was disarmed and disgraced. Shu Francisco Examiner, The I'lrat Man Dressmaker.
