SPAIN WILL PROTEST.

Bemonstranqc Against Our Cuban Atti-
tude to Be Sent to \Vashington.

MADRID, May 16.--At a cabinet council
the Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign
aflairs, was authorized to draft a formal
remonstrance against the attitude of the
United States in regard to Cuba, which
will bopresented to the government at
Washington, and it is probable that Senor
Dupuy dc Lorne, Spanish minister at
Washington, will be instructed to protest
personally against the policy being pur-
sued by the American government.

It Was also decided that the government
send 40,000 troops to Cuba in September.

WASHINGTON, May 16.--When the Span-
ish minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome, today
saw a dispatch from Madrid asserting that
the Spanish government had authorized a
formal remonstrance to be presented
against the attitude of the United States
in regard‘to Cuba, he replied that this was
directly contrary to all his information
and to the explicit statements contained
In the queen’s speech.

He said that his government had warned
him to pay no attention to disturbing dis-
patches in the press, as they would keep
him fully advised on all points. The rela-
tions between Spain and the United
States. he added, were entirely cordial and
there was no friction of any kind.

Interstate Tariffs Abolished.

WASHINGTON, May 16.—Mexico has final-
Iy followed the example set by the Unit-
ed States and has abolished all taxes on
commerce between the states. These taxes
have been in existence for many years in
Mexico and given rise to much embarrass-
ment to external and internal trade.
United States Consul General Crittenden,
in reporting to the state department the
fact that the repealing law takes effect on
July 1 next, says that while the repeal
meets with general approval, some of the
states will be obliged to seek other meth-
ods of taxation to supply the revenue here-
tofore derived from the tax on goods en-
tering one state from another.

Negro IIIurderers Respited.

KANSAS CITY, May 16.—-Pollard and
Harris, the negroes who were to have been
hanged here today. the state supreme court
having affirmed the death sentences, have
obtained another lease of life. Judge
Dobson of the circuit court issued a writ
of habeas corpus ordering Marshal Kosh-
leer to appear with the condemned men
for a hearing on the application based
upon questions raised as to the legality of
the original indictments.

Hydropliobia Scare In Kansas.

WICHITA, Kan, May 16,—The an-
nouncement made by a council of Wichita
physicians that a dog that bit several peo-
ple here last week was affected with
rabies has caused widespread consterna-
tion. Dogs are being shot by the whole-
sale, and several of the victims will im-
mediately go to Chicago to take the Pas-
teurqtrgatment. None of the people bit-
ten by the dog has‘developed symptoms of
hydrophobic, however.

 

Kentucky Penitentiary Fire.

KUTTAWA, Ky., May iii—Fire was dis.
covered in the boiler room of the Southern
Shoe company in the branch penitentiary
at Eddyville. The big brick building of
the Southen Shoe company is a total loss.
The building machinery and stock of the
Southern Brick works were burned. The
Eddyville Wagon company’s losses are
$10, 000. About 659 prisoners are left
without employment.

New York Democratic Convention.

NEW YORK, May 16.—The Democratic
state committee met in the Hoffman
House today, and in a session lasting 11
minutes filled two of the four vacancies
and called the state convention to meet in
Saratoga at noon J une 24. There was no
opposition whatever to this programme,
which was suggested by Senator Hill
nearly two months ago.

Boomers at Red Lake.

ST. PAUL, May 16.——Five thousand
people are gathered about the borders of
the Red Lake Indian reservation waiting
in the cold and rain for the signal that
will allow them to rush for land. Tho
farming lands are very rich, and the
race for them promises to be exciting, al-
though the mud will prevent any record
breaking speed.

Fined the Texas Miller.

KANSAS Cris, May 16.—-Homer A.
Judd, formerly president of the Indian
Rice Milling company, who' pleaded guilty
to violating the interstate commerce
laWS, has been sentenced by Judge Phillips

‘ to pay a fine of $250 on the second count

only. The first count was for conspiracy,
and the others were for reporting false
weights.

Found 5: Buried Treasure.

TIMPSON, Tex., May 16.—-The Rev. Mr.
Rhodes while plowing his field unearthed
30,000 Mexican dollars. It seems that the
money was buried in a leather satchel,
and it was almost rotten. Mr. Rhodes
bought the place two years ago. For sev-
eral years there has been digging in that
community by unknown parties at night.

Robbers Outwittod.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va. May 16.-—A crowd
of armed men assembled at a watering
tank near Nolan, on the Norfolk and
Western road, to rob the north bound ex-
press train. The «train crew were notified
by wire and passed the tank at a high rate
of speed. The robbers attempted to stop
the train with red lights.

Torturing Armenians.

LONDON, May 16.—A dispatch to The
Daily News from Berlin says that the Con-
stantinople correspondent of The Vossische
Zeitung reports that the sultan's fears of
assassination have led to wholesale arrests
of Armenians, who are‘ barbarously tor-
tured to force confessions from them.

Curfew Law For St. Joseph.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 16.—The city

OREGON IS THE QUEEN
The New Vessel Is the Speedicst Bat-
tleship in the World.

HER RECORD 16.78 KNOTS.

Something of the MagnificentAcquisition
to the American Navy—But For
I Heavy SWell the Oregon
Would Have Done Better.

 

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, May 16.—Aftcr
months of patient toil, after weeks spent
in preparation, after trial trips on San
Francisco bay and speed tests in the Santa
Barbara channel, the Oregon repaid her
builders by doing all they asked of her.
She made an average speed of 16. 78 knots,
beating the world’s record for vessels of
this class.

The weather was perfect. There was
scarcely a ripple on the channel. The big
battleship got under way, at 6.15 a. m.,
and headed for Point Goleta. The tug
Unadilla was already in position at the
scratch line, and the manner in which she
acted showed that the swell was not heavy.

Orders were given for the battleship to
swing around and head for a point 011‘
Point Carpinteria, where a small stakeboat
had been anchored in line with the start
ing point. Once headed for the tug Una-
dilla, the engine valves were gradually
.opened up, and passing the SantaBarbara
wharf the Oregon was going like a deer-

Tnn OREGON.
bound and throwing tons of water at

every jump. More and more way she
gathered. and as she passed the scratch
line she was beating 16% knots.

Between the Unadilla and the Gedney
there was eaten mile course, and in cover-
ing that the big battleship increased in-
stead of diminished her speed. At times
the patent log showed a speed better than
17 knots, and the firemen, to whom the
news was communicated, were spurred on
to fresh exertions. Passing the Gedney
half a dozen persons took the time.

On sped the Oregon toward the Alha-
tross, the next stakeboat. Captain Goodall
steered the battleship closer to the Kelp
than ever he steered any of the cruisers
and thus escaped some of the remaining
swoll. Only ten miles of the'first part of
the course remained to be covered. Down
in the fireroom the firemen worked like
beavers.
gene‘s?" A Fine Performance.

With one big burst of speed the Oregon
passed the McArthur on the western range
near Point Conception. While the long
turn was making at full speed, the run
was worked out. and when 17.08 knots an
hour was announced the scene on the deck
of the battleship Was one of great enthusi-
asm. 'Admiral Beardslee, Captain Cotton
and all the other officers and guests con-
gratuh.‘ l Builder Scott.

From Gaviota point to Point Concep-
tion the swell had been heavy, but when
the Orc you was headed for the McArthur
the second time, it was at once seen that
both wind and swell had increased, and in
consequence sea after sea broke over her
bows. The turrets of the big guns were
placed under water twice, but the ship
never swerved from her course.

It was a hard battle to Gaviota point,
and had .it not been for that ten mile
stretch through a heavy swell the Oregon
would surely have beaten 17 knots. From
that point to where the Unadllla was sta-
tioned the work was easy, but when the
result was announced it was found that
the battleship had made only 16. 49 knots
on the last leg of the course.

When the final result of an average of
16.78 knots was announced, the engineers
and firemen sent up a cheer that was
plainly heard on the upper deck above the
rush of the ship and the roar of the ma-
chinery.

The Oregon, by her work, earns a pre-
mium of $175,000 for her builders. She
carried 160 pounds of steam throughout,
and the revolutions were from 128 to 130
per minute, less than the government al-
lowance. '

Silver Service For the Oregon.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.—-Captaln W.
H. Patterson, a well known pilot of the
Columbia river, is at Santa Barbara, com-
missioned by the Portland chamber of
commerce to extend the big battleship
Oregon an urgent invitation to visit Port-
land. The Portland chamber of com-
merce has raised $20,000 to procure a
magnificent silver service to present in
the name of the people of Oregon in recog-
nition of the honor bestowed in christen-
ing the big vessel. This service the people
of Oregon wish to present there.- The
naval board objects, being apprehensive
that the Oregon cannot pass the Columbia
river bar. Patterson offers to stake his
own reputation and that of every pilot on
the Columbia river that he can take her
safely up, having conducted the Charles
ton, Monterey and Olympia over the bar.

 

The Champion Battleship.

The Oregon is asister ship of the Massa-
chusetts and is the first of our battleships
to be constructed on the Pacific coast.
Preliminary runs had inspired the build.
ers to, believe that she would match the
high records made by her sister ship built
at Philadelphia, but it was not thought
that she would surpass her in speed.

The speed made by the Massachusetts
at her recent trial was 16.2079 knots,which
beats the record. Now the Oregon has
done better, and an interesting riva‘lry
may be expected between these two great
battleships.

The Oregon, like her mates, was pro-

vided for by act of congress on J une 30,
1890. Bids on the vessels were invited
on July 1, following. The bid of the
Union Iron works of San Francisco was
one vessel for $3,240,000 or two for 86,-
400,000. The Cramps of Philadelphia of«
fered to build one for $2,990,000 and two
for $5,780,000, and later the Cramps offer-
ed to build , ship 12 feet longer for 33.-
120,000 an 4 two others for 35.040, 000.
This ad ition of 12 feet was considered de-
sirable the government,and the Cramps
got two ships—the Indiana and the Massa-
chusetts. According to the act under
which the ships were built, one of them
must be constructed ’on or near the Pacific
coast, and the Union Iron works agreed to
take one of the vessels for $3,120,000 with
an additional 360,000 for freight for carry-
ing to San Francisco such material as can
be obtained only in the cast. '
' Like her sister the Massachusetts. the
02".:‘3 was built under an act proposing
vessels of about 8,500 tons displacement,
but her additional length has brought the
displacement up to 10,288 tons.

fiGave Him a Drubbinu.
Knight street was the'scene of a live-
ly husband beating last night. The
wife of Wilbur Hubbard became jeal-
ous of her husband’s attention to an-
other member of the African race, and
proceeded to give him a good drubbing
with a carpet beater. Not content with
that she kicked him several times, he
gallantly crying out “Oh if you
wasn’t a woman I’d give you as good as
you send.” The police put an end to
the melee to the great disgust of the
friends of the woman who had so dex-
te‘rously applied the carpet-beater.

THE RECENT ooreo OF‘GOLD.

Cotton Fain to Respond to the Govern-
ment Report—The Volume of Do-
mestic Transactions Not Overs,
heavy—Failures of the: \Veek.

NEW YORK. May 16.—R. G. Dun &
Co. ’s weekly review of trade says: .

It is now the middle of May, too late for
business to change materially until the
prospects of coming crops are assured and
definite shape has been given to the presi-
dential contest by the conventions. To
date the outlook for crops is highly on-
couraging, and a good yield would great-
ly improve the prospect for all business.
But until the future is more clear there is
a prudent disinclination to produce ,much
beyond orders or to order beyond imme-
diate and certain needs. If this waiting
spirit prevails two months longer, it will
crowd into the last half of the year an
enormous business if the outlook then is
good. For the present there is less busi-
ness on the whole than a year ago, though
in some br ches more, and the delay fol-
lowing months of depression is to many
trying, and causes numerous failures. The
outgo of gold, on German demand to meet
Russian arrangements with China, has
not as yet been larger than is usual at this
season without such special cause, and
with general business on a limited scale
causes no trouble. Speculative markets
are comparatively inactive. but the stock
market is stagnant, ands-tho average price
of railroad stocks hasdeclined less than
half of 1 per cent for the week and the'
average of trust stocks only about a quan
ter of 1 per cent. '

An attempt was made to manufacture
excitement in cotton out of the govern,
ment report. but the price closed exactly
as it began the week, and the port receipts
have been actually larger than last year.
All current arguments based on the as-
sumption that the quantity used in man-
ufacture has been or is now at a maximum
rate are disproved by the closing of many
mills for want of demand and the general
effort to reduce wages which has caused
some strikes. As the mill stocks in north-
ern mills and also abroad are much larger
than usual calculations which ignore these
tend to deceive, and the total supplies are
greater than requirements for four months’
consumption, even at the maximum rate.
Wheatjs but slightly higher in spite of all
rumors, and the Atlantic exports, flour
included, which were last year greater
than western receipts,“ for two weeks
3,059,484 bushels, against 2,917,305 re-
ceived, have this year been only half as
large, l.906,414 bushels exported, against
4,079 530 western receipts.

- . Domestic Business.

The volume of domestic business,
though large in some branbhes, is repre-
sented.‘ by payments through clearing
houses 13. 3 per cent smaller than last year,
16 per cent smaller than in the same week
of 1893. The railroad earnings, which
depend rather upon the quantity of bulky
products shipped to market. have been for
the first week of May 4.8 per cent larger
than last year, but 8.7 per cent less than
in 1893, showing a trifle better than the
returns for April. Monetary difficulties
no longer prevent activity, and good com'~
mercial paper could be placed in large
amount at almost every important city,
but with business so limited the paper of-
fered is not all good, representing in part
accumulation of products for which de-
mand is deferred. An encouraging fea-
ture is that foreign imports are slightly
smaller than a year ago, while exports are
about 10 per cent larger in value, and
stocks of imported 'merchandise lying in
warehouse are considerably increasing.

The most fortunate of the chief indus-
tries at present is the boot and shoe man-
ufacture, which is not only shipping to
customers within 6 per cent of the largest
number of cases ever forwarded in the first
half of May, but is getting many new or
dare, and there are many urgent requests
to anticipate orders for June and July de-
livery. indicating that distribution to con-
sumers has much outrun expectations.
Prices are unchanged at the lowest aver.
age yet reached, practically the same as
in March of last year, but there is a
rather rapid advance in hides at Chicago
—8 per cent in two weeks—and leather
begins to stifi'en a' little. The iron and
steel industry, on the other hand, is pro-
nounced as dull as it ever has been in its
whole history at Pittsburg, in part be-
cause of doubt about the maintenance of
prices recently advanced, and the demand
is so small that in spite of such advances
prices average 1.2 per cent lower for the
week, bessemer pig being no higher than
it was three months ago at $12.65, while
No. 1 anthracite is also lower, $12.50 at
New York. The attempt to hold common
bar iron at 1.2 cents leads many large cus~
tomers to prefer steel bars, which sell at
1.1 cents, and prices of nails are expected
to be reduced because of scanty demand.
There is much promise for future struc-
tural work, but orders are deferred.

Effect of Bargain Sales. .

Textile mills are not yet gaining. Enor-
mous bargain sales of cotton dress goods
and of ready made woolen clothing have
hindered orders at any prices which the
mills can afford to take and must have
partly supplied needs of consumers. For
some cotton goods a more active demand
appears, and low grade bleached are an
eighth higher, but Lonsdale and Fruit of
Loom bleached 4-4 goods are cut to 6 %
cents, and unsold stocks of many kinds
are heavy. Curtailment of production,
partly by intentionjand partly by difier-
ones about wages, has not yet brought
the improvement hoped for. Sales of wool
have been a little larger the past week,
3,543,200 pounds at the three chief mar-
kets, but for two weeks only 6,539,200
pounds, against over 11,000,000 pounds
last year and in 892. The large drives in
clothing have cleared out stocks of some
ready made concerns. but check new busi-
ness, and the general disposition is to
postpone orders as far as possible.

Failures for the first week in May show
liabilities of $4,138,371, against $3,009,-
272 last year and $1,037,538 in 1894. Man-
ufacturing were $1,001,398, against 31,-
006, 666 last year and $432,606 in 1894,
while trading ware, $3,066,425, ' against
$2,002,706 last year and $1,490,922 in 1894.
The increase is less than Well known re—
sults of last year’s operations had led
many to expect and is mainly in a few
branches of business. Failures for the
week have been 224 in the United States.
against 211 last year, and 33 in Canada
against 37 last year.
