Called on the Minister to Express
His Disbelief— Salisbury’s l*olley In
the Orient.
Copyrighted, IS9R, by the Associated Press.
London. Feb. 12,-The De Lome incident
has excited little interest in Ericland, but
the opinions expressed almost unanimous,
ly indorse the position of the United
Slates.
The daily newspapers, with the excep
tion of the Horning Post, have adopted
the view' that the administration took the
right course.
The Sackville-West incident naturally
has liven much quoted, but it must lie
added that it has always been in Die
most friendly terms towards the United
States.
What the Times calls a “well informed
correspondent,” which probably means
someone In the foreign office.writes to that
newspaper to-day that in response to the
cabled request to the United States for
Lord Sackville-West’s recall, Great Bri
tain answered that no action could be
taken until the receipt of ttie language
that it was charged Lord Sackville-West
had used. When this answer was receiv
ed, it appears. Secretary Bayard handed
Lord Sackville-West his passports.
The weekly newspapers express the
opinion that President McKinley would
have done better to Ignore Dupuy De
Lome, and the Statist opines "that a man
better qualified to conduct the foreign af
fairs of the United States than Mr. Sher
man would refuse to notice De Lome,”
and every one participating in the affair,
adding "a government based on popular
suffrage has to expect free criticism.”
Continuing, the Statist says it does not
see why President McKinley, “who Is ac
customed to the rough as well as the
smooth of politics” shows susceptibility
and “objects to allow foreigners the free
dom he admits in the case of his fellow
citizens.”
The Spectator thinks the “practical ex
pulsion of De Ix>me will produce fresh
difficulties between Spain and America.”
Continuing, the Spectator says, “if Pres
ident McKinley were wise he would have
promptly declared he would not pay any
attention whatever, to the purloined pri
vate letter, however genuine. President
McKinley should have publicly called on
de Lome and informed him that he <}id not
need his assurance that the letter was a
forgery, the bad taste and vulgarity of the
language being ample proof of the fact. If
he had had the nerve or wisdom to do that
he would have immensely raised his pres
tige both abroad and in his own country.
“At the same time one cannot be sur
prised that the United States failed to
treat the letter with the contempt it mer
ited. We do not for a moment suggest that
the executive failed to ignore because he
tvas ignorant of diplomatic usage, or lie
cause he was not sufficiently good man
nered td be self-restrained under provoca
tion. The Americans are as good-mannered
as other people and their politicians and of
ficials are perfectly aware of how Lord
Salisbury or M. Hanotaux would have dis
posed of a similar letter, and can guess ac
curately how President Lincoln would have
treated it. It Ls not a lack of manners or
of traditions which made the United
States government take the incident too
seriously, but rather the want of firmness
and savoir faire which has been shown by
the present administration throughout its
term of office.”
The Spectator is not sorry the "mo
ment may toe approaching when the Unit
ed States will intervene to help the ag
onies of Cuba," adding, "their only hope
is in the United States sternly declaring
that the Spanish troops must leave and
that the Cubans be allowed to settle their
own fate. The United States will be
morally justified in saying the war must
end and that Cuba be given peace there
Is no doubt.”
Madrid advices show that the De Lome
affair created much suppressed excite
ment there. The public comments of the
diplomats and the current press were gen
erally objecttonable, but there was an un
dercurrent of bitterness on all sides. Even
pome days before the incident became
known there had been a particularly nerv
ous feeling in regard to the relations with
the Uunited States, as evidenced by
the unusual precaution taken to guard the
residence of the United States minister,
Mr. Woodford. Any rumor, however ab
surd, was taken as gospel in the alarmist
circles, even though a repetition of news
which was stole weeks ago. For Instance,
quite a ferment was caused by a refer
ence to the fact that sixteen United
States warships were off the Dry Tortu
gas, and it was taken as evidence that the
blockade of Cuba had already begun. The
advent of the French cruiser Du RoitrdiPU
at Havana was hailed with delight by the
Madrid press, and much was made of the
polite remarks addressed by the French
admiral to the government officials. These
remarks are said to have been most flat
tering In regard to the establishment of a
new regime, and were. It is said, accom
panied by hearty wishes that peace would
soon return from the establishment of au
tonomy.
Although the Chauvinists noisily persist
in.distorling the situation in the far East,
the great majority are abundantly satis
fied with the Marquis of Salisbury's state
ment, and there is reason to believe that
they will be still more gratified in. no far
distant future. When the. government
shall be in a position to lay the papers
on the subject before parliament, it will
be seen that the conduct of affairs has been
in strict compliance with the principles
enunciated by half a dozen cabinet min
isters. Of course, the pr< infers are not in
a position to reveal the whole story, as
there Is much yet to settle, but he will be
able lo relievo all anxiety with an explicit
statement that he will allow no power to
interfere with British treaties with China,
which give freedom of entry to every |>ort
which may liecome open under authority
or at the request of any power whatso
ever. By his attitude Id regard to Kiito-
Chou bay, the Marquis of Salisbury has
paved the way for a community of joliti
cal action between Great Britain and Ger
many, which will not only produce excel
lent results in the far East, hut help to
assume the stability of the general Inter
national situation. This is already shown
by the transfer of Herr Dledrig, the com
missioner of Chinese customs, to i lie gov
ernment service in Shan-Tung prov
ince, ha having admittedly gone to
Tekin to undermine Sir Kolteri Hart,
orthe Englishman, who has b. c n director
of the Chinese imperial maritime customs
since ISBS. Great Britain's agreement
with Russia will probably also lie found
to be more far-reaching than a writttn
assurance that I’ort Arthur will l>e a
free port and agreeing to the opening of
Ta-Llen-Wan when the railroad reaches
there.
The British warships now on their way
to China are the first-class battleship
Victorious, the first-class battleship Mar-
Ileus, the flrst-ciass cruiser Gibraltar and
the second-class cruiser Bonaventura.
When they arrive, on March 6, or there
abouts, Great Britain will have a pre
ponderance of 20,000 tons of warships over
Russia and France combined in those wa
ters.

LAWS FOR INDIAN TERRITORY.
Comprehensive Measure Designed to
Harmonize Them.
Washington, Feb. 12.—The subcommittee
on Indian affairs, which has been engaged
for a considerable time in framing a meas
ure designed to harmonize the laws for the
government of the Indian Territory and to
bring order out of the chaos prevailing
there, has completed its work and the re
sult will be presented to the full committee
on Monday.
The bill framed Is a most comprehensive
measure. It abolishes all Indian courts in
the territory and requires the President’s
approval of all acts passed by the Indian
legislature. This latter provision is to pre
vent much of the scandalous legislation
enacted by the Indian legislature, which
was prejudicial to the interests of the In
dians as a whole.
The bill extends the criminal and civil
laws of the United States to the territory
so as to prevent a conflict of authority
such as has heretofore frequently arisen
where a white man was murdered by an
Indian or vice versa.
It also allots in severalty the lands of
the five civilized tribes and adjusts pend
ing disputes between them. For insrance,
the Delawares have purchased 107,000 acres
from the Cherokees, but have not yet ob
tained them.
It empowers the Dawes commission to
lay out town sites and provides for ac
quiring lots and the methods of conduct
ing the business of the towns, and in vari
ous other ways provides for the equities
between the Indians.
Mr. Fisher,-chairman of tile Indian com
mittee, hopes to secure action on the meas
ure at this session of Congress.

PEOPLE OK LATTIMER IN A PANIC.
Mnny Fled 4o the Mountnlns on the
Approach of the Strikers.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 12.—Mike Krupa,
a Crystal Road man, was the first witness
in the Lattimcr shooting case to-day He
said he Joined the strikers at West Hazel
ton, with a number of his friends.
“I was in the front rank at Latiimer,”
the witness said, “and I stopped with the
others when the Sheriff ordered us to do
so. to hear what he had to say. The other
men pushed us on past the Sheriff and
then the firing commenced. I ran with
the others. Two men near me fell
wounded.’’
On cross examination by counsel for the
defense the witness said he had not heard
that any man had been beaten at Crystal
Hoad by the strikers because he would
not join them.
The second witness was Anthony (Jay
no. He said while he was at West Hazel
ton one of the deputies seized him by the
coat sleeve, tore it, and hustled him
around, frightening him so badly that he
did not go to Lattimer.
Miss Mary Kohler said that she saw
the strikers arrive at Lattimer and that
they were quiet and orderly. On cross
examination the witness admitted that
the people of Lattimer seemed frightened
when they heard that the strikers were
coming, and that she knew of several
who had fled to the mountains.
John Pattiska said that he saw some
deputies coming out of a Hazelton hard
ware store with guns. "I heard them
say,” he continued, “they were going to
shoot the strikers. At Lattimer I saw
the Sheriff. He w r as pushing his revolver
in the faces of some of them, but he did
Hot Hhoo>t. Some of Ihe deputies shouted,
“Fire,” and the shooting commenced.
We all ran. I saw seven men fall right
away and some others fell as we ran ,t'.i
the school house. A couple of deputes
ran as far as the railroad and shot at
some of the strikers who were running in
the brush.”
Court then adjourned until Monday.
Matthew Long, of the prosecuting com
mittee, said to-day that the common
wealth would have about fifty more wit
nesses to put on the stand.
Mr. Lenahan, counsel for the defense,
denied the rumor that the defense would
not call any witnesses, thereby allowing
the case to go to the Jury without any
evidence. He stated that no motion would
be made to the court to have the case dis
missed on the ground that the common
wealth had made out no case. He said
the defense wanted to show the affair up
in its proper light, and for that purpose
would put a large number of witnesses oi.

SALE OF THE KANSAS PACIFIC.
The Government Guaranteed Pay
ment of the Principal.
Washingtori, Feb. 12.—Attorney General
Griggs has received a dispatch from Judge
Hoadley, the government's legal repre
sentative in the matter of the sale of the
Kansas Pacific Railway, stating that an
arrangement has been affected by which
the Union Pacific re-organization commit
tee would pay the principal of the govern,
ment lien in full. The telegram said the
representatives of the reorganization com
mittee guaranteed that the government
should receive at the sale of l(s interest of
the Kansas Pacific road on Feb. 16, not
less than $6,303,000, the amount of the prin
cipal of its claim.
Thereupon the attorney general wired
authority to accept the guarantee.
The acceptance of the proposition does
not, however, prevent the government
from accepting any "bid In excess of the
amount guaranteed.
In the two transactions by which the
government has disposed of its liens upon
the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific
roads, It receives a total of $64,751 223 Of
this sum $27,236,512 Is the principal of the
debt of the Union Pacific and $31,211,711, the
full amount of the accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of sale. From the
Kansas Pacific the government realizes
$6,303,000, the principal, losing the balance
of interest, amounting to $6,624,107. The
amount realized from the two sales Is
about $20,000,000 in excess of thq amount
the government offered to take during the
last part of the last administration.
As to the Kansas Pacific, the govern
ment officials regard the outcome as emi
nently satisfactory, inasmuch,as the st-m
realized, when taken in connection with
the first liens, which the government would
have been compelled to bid in order to
lrotect its own Interest, represents, in
their Judgment, the full value of the road
This settlement of the matter releases and
returns to the treasury the $900,000 de
posited with the court in order that the
government might be qualified as a bid
der at the sale, $7,515,255 deposited some

IN HEMORIAM.
At a regular communication of Zerubba
bel Lodge, No. 15, F. & A. M., held Thurs
day evening, Jan. 27, 1898, the following
tribute of love and esteem, prepared at a
meeting of the Master and Past Masters,
in accordance with a resolution passed at
an extra communication, held Jan. 16,
was unanimously adopted:
On the 16th of January, our beloved
Brother, Past Master
JOHN HENRY CAVANAUGH,
Was called from labor to his eternal rest.
The summons came to him as the day’s
work was beginning, symbolizing his own
life, which was just reaching the fruition
of the faithful work of years of careful at
tention to business and loving deeds of
charity to his fellowman.
To all Masons, but especially to Zerubba
bel Lodge, his death i3 irreparable. At all
times and in all places his advice was
freely asked and freely given, and his
vast information of Masonic, law and
usages, together with his clear judgment,
made him a tower of strength in the Or
der.
He was one of nature's noblemen. With
a perfect physical, mental and moral de
velopment, he was a manly man, whom
we were glad to know and whom we re
joiced to honor.
He was richly endowed with rare social
qualities that drew about him men in all
walks of life. His personal contact with
them was an inspiration, never ostenta
tious, yet always true to his convictions.
Every man was his neighbor and his
brother. Faith, Hope and Charity were
the embodiment of his character and life.
In his domestic, as well as in the out
ward walks of life, his character was be
yond reproach. A devoted husband, a
tender father, he gave to his wife and
children the entire love of his great and
noble heart. To our Brother the home
was most precious, and mutual confidence,
love and happiness dwelt therein.
To the loved ones left behind, this
Lodge tenders Its deepest sympathies, and
may the Great Architect of the Universe
have them in His keeping.
Although, through misty eyet we look,
but see him not, we do not bid our belov
ed Brother good bye, but wait the trumpet
sound, when we hope to meet him in that
Spiritual temple, that house not made
with hands, eternal in the Heavens.

A STRAIN
On the eyes is a tax which may impair
the sight permanently. No one can af
ford to take such a risk. Fortunately, no
one need do so, as the remedy Is easily
obtained. Our examinations (.which are
free) determine Just what the eye needs
to preserve it from injury, correct de
fects, and strengthen the optic nerves.
It’s exceedingly unwise to neglect the pre
caution of an examination which costs
nothing. Our low prices make cost of
glasses a trifling matter.
