~ SPAlN’S New MINISTER.
Much Interest Taken in His Arrival at
. the Capital.
‘Washington, March 9,—Thc new
Spanish Minister to-the United States,
Senor Polo y Bernabe, is expected here
to-day. He will immediately take
charge of the Spanish Legation upon
his .4'1rival.-- The credentials of the new
Minister will be presented scion after
his arrival, 'and it is expected'that' his
first attention will be given to the new
commercial treaty between the United
Staes and Spain, with particular refer-
ence to Cuba. His service as chief of
the commercial bureau of the Spanish
1 Foreign Office has given his knowledge
of the facts leading up to the negotia-
ttions of the treaty, and he will come
sharing the earnest desire of the Sa-'
lgasta Administration to put through
the matt91w 1th the least delay possible.
Minister Vvoodford has been carrying
lIttn the negotiations with the authori-
ties at Madrid, and they are well along
toward completion.
SENOR POLO DE BARNABE.
Senor Polo, as he is called, is by no
means the brusque democrat his father
was. He is a colorless young man, of
almost no force of character at all, and
has been carriedalong in the diplo-
matic offices of Spain by administration
after administration for the sake of his
father and his family. He speaks Eng-
lish fluently, and has a wide acquain-
tance With commercial history, on
which subject he has written a number
of valuable treatises. His wife, Senora.
Hendez de Vigo, the daughter of the
present Spanish Ambassador to Ger-'
many, is an accomplished woman not
unknown in Washington society.
The new Minister is not the Polo who
was attache and third secretary of the
Spanish legatlon here from 1873 to 1881.
That official was a ‘ brother of De
Lome’s successor and'is now dead. The
dead brother’s career was exceptionally
brilliant, and he rose to an importance
almost equal to his father’s.
The rumor that a Southern Congress-
man would ask for the recall of Minis-
ter W'oodford is again going the rounds
among the politicians here. This re-
quest will be made on account of the
recent speech made at a banquet given
to Premier Sagasta and the Diplomatic
. Corps in Madrid.
PREPARlNG FOR WAR.
Spain’s Buckdown Illegal-(led as Only
Temporary—Grave Situation.
Washington, March 9.-—The situation
with regard to our relations with Spain
is in no sense more grave than on Sun-
day. There has been no change that
seems to render preparations for war
less important, on the one hand, nor
_war less probable on the other. There
has been no change in the main issue,
except the development in one direc-
tion with steadily increasing impor-
tance. This is the plain truth, if truth
is desired.
Spain has “for the time being” with-
drawn her request for the recall of
Consul-General Lee. All this indicates
that things moved too rapidly in Wash-
ington for Spain. There is no doubt in
the minds of officials here to the re-
quest for the recall of General Lee
was a. disclosure of the purpose of
Spain to move to desperate measures.
But Spain did not expect such prompt-
ness from the Government. The vig—
orous course of President McKinley
made it necessary to draw bad: a. lit-
tle, but this is well understood to be
but a. temporary experiment on the
part of Spain.
The things that are attracting most
attention, and causing most excitement
are but surface irritants. The great
moves toward war are going on with-
out check. The reliable signs are the
borrowing of money, the buying of
ships and gathering of offensive forces.
The action of Spain with respect to
General Lee is regarded as significant
with. the request Withdrawn as it
would be if insisted on. The request
was never a cause of war, but was an
indication. The withdrawal simply in-
forms this Government that Spain is
not quite as ready for action as her
insistance would have shown her to be.
The appropriation of $50,000,000 by
Congress yesterday for national de-
fense means that this Government is
going to follow out a. policy which can
result in but one of two things—an im~
mediate amelioration of conditions in
Cuba or else war. Spain must back
down altogether or maintain herself
by other means than diplomacy.
Aside from the recognition of the
gravity of the situation in- asking for
phase which cannot be ignored. It is
recognized by every one here, by the
Administration not less than by Con-
stress. that when the President asks
for and gets from Congress by the vote
of all parties such an appropriation to
be used absolutely at his discretion in
national defenses he obligates himself
to bring to a conclusion the irritating
Cuban situation. This he undertakes
to. do. whether it causes war or not.
If Spain wisely decides to avoid dls-
aster and not to go to war, the other-
wise inevitable result can be avoided.
Appazently, the only escape is by her
retirement. 3'
The course of Spain in preparing for
war in the way she is convinces prac-
tically everyone here that she is not
wise enough to, or else not able to re-
the. It is not believed that Sagasta
will dare to yield without making use
of the means which the sacrifices of
the Spanish people have put in his
hands for the defense of the Spanish
contention. .

_'l'HE JURY IS OUT.
End Of, the '1" la! of Sheriff Martin and
' His Deputies. '
W'ilkesbarre, Pa... March 9.—'The jury '
in the case of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies went out at 5. 40 p. m. yester-
day.
Afte1 the jury retired Judge Wood-
ward went to his home a few blocks
away, and left word that he would re-
turn to court at any moment they
wished him. It was discussed and prac-
tically agreed that if a. verdict was not
reached by 9 o’clock an adjournment
would be taken until tp-day.
' At 6 o’clock Judge Woodward ad-
journed court until 7.15, to enable law-
yers and defendants to get dinner.
flax-State Attorney General, in his ar—
gument for the defense, spoke for near-
ly two hours after court convened yes-
terday morning. He said there were
three propositions in this case. First,
that there was rioting in and around
Hazleton from the 3d to the 10th of last
September; second, that Sheriff Martin
was called to Hazleton to suppless this
rioting; third, that the mob which
marched to Latimer, was riotous, law
breaking and disorderly.
In the afternoon District Attorney
Scarlett made the last plea for the
Commonwealth. Judge Woodward be-
gan his charge to the ' jury at 4.30
o’clock, during the course of which he
thanked the jurors for the close atten-
tion they had given the case during the
six weeks it had been on trial. .
The general impression is that the
jury will remain out a. day or two and
that the verdict, if any is rendered, will
be acquittal. A disagreement is said
to be very probable.
DECREASE OF LIVESTOCK.
The Total of liIilch Cows Six-Tenths of
One Per-Cent. Less Than Last. Year.
Washington, March 9.—The Agricul-
tural Department has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin of live stock:
“The returns of the number of live
stock on farms in the United States on
lanuary 1 show 13,960,911 horses,- 2,257,-
665 mules, 15,840,886 milch cows, 29,264,-
197' oxen and other cattle, 37,656,960
sheep and 39,759,993 swine. These fig-
ures show a. decrease of 403,756 in the
number of horses, 100,841 in that of
milch cows, 1,244,211 in that of oxen
and other cattle and 840,283 in that of
swine. There is an increase of 838,317
in the number of sheep and 42, 011 in
that of mules.
While there has been an increase in
the number of milch cows in each of
the New England States and in the
Northwestern States, there has.been a.
decrease throughout almost the entire
South, and this fact, together with a.
slight decrease in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illi-
nois, reduces the total for the country
at large to six-tenths of 1 per cent. be-
low that of last year.

Japan Threatens China.
Peking, China, March 9.——The Rus—

the greatest excitement at the Japan-

young Napoleon of the
Wheat pit would do with his purchase
if he hadnft a nation of hungry months
back of him. He and his descendants
for twenty generations couldn’t con.
sume it. There are not mills enough
in Chicago to grind the grain into flour
in ten years, nor bakers who could
mix, mold and bake it into crisp
loaves in another ten years.
- Fifteen millions of bushels- of wheat!
A bulk nearly three times that of the
Masonic Temple—tho highest and
largest building of its class in the
world. In that gigantic pile, towering
twenty—foul: stories and covering one-
fourtllo fa block of the most valuable
real estate in Chicago,t t'hele are 5. 762,-
294 cubic feet of space—so say the ar-
chitects. But Ml. Leiter s little pile
of wheat would dwarf. that structure
if placed beside it, reaching almost
three times higher, with the same
ground dimensions, . occupying 18,600,-
000 cubic feet.
The highest authority says there are
7,000 grains of wheat to the pound.
Therefore, as Mr. Leiter owns 15,000,-
000 bushels, each weighing sixty
pounds, the total weight of his posses-
sions would require a counter-balance
of 900,000,000 pounds—a total that
would keep a family of five persons
counting steadily for two years at the
rate of 200 per minute without inter-
mission to check off the weight, and
the total number of grains of wheat in
this huge purchase is only 63,000,000,-
000,000. This sum is sufficiently large
to perplex even astronomers, who meas-
ure distance 'of stars by the millions 01
miles—but trillions—never! The star

row of ciphers in his computations.
Let us suppose that Mr. Leiter
wanted to move his wheat to some
other point, and determine approxi-
mately how many cars he would need
if he shipped it all by rail. I He holds

fore, 22,500 cars would be needed to
transport this bulk of grain. The ave
rage length of such cars, including the
space between for the coupling appa-
latus is thirty- six feet. This train
load of grain would be 810,000 feet, 01
153 1 2 miles long. That is to say, it
Mr. Leiter choose to ship all his grain
in one trai... he will have a string 01
cars reaching almost from Chicago to
the Mississippi River at Quincy, Ill.
But if Mr. Leiter doesn’t want to
ship his property, butchooses to grind
it up and put it on the market he can
sit down with pencil and paper and
figure that as four and one-half bush-
els of Wheat will make a ZOO-pound
barrel of flour, he can. place 333,333,333
loaves of bread within the reach of. the
hungry. At 5 cents per Iloaf,‘ Mr. Lei.
tor could obtain '_‘$16,666,666.65 for his
property. As his brokers have claim
ed that he purchased his wheat at an
average of 70 cents per bushels, his
profits as a baker would be a hundred
thousand or. so over $6,000,000.

ARABIAN WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.
l‘lleir Life is Eull of Sentiment and Quaint
, Customs.
the.
Arabians have peculiar ideas on the
marriage question. All Arab will in-
variably otfcr marriage to his brother’s
Widow. It is considered a sign of re.
spect to the dead brother and the liv-
ing woman by so doing, as the Semitic
tradition in the Hebrew and Christian
Scriptures tells us. In an Arab town
a statement made before 'the cadi con,-
stitutcs all the essential marriage cere-
mony. In the desert the only neces-
sary function is the slaughtering of a
sheep within 01' before the tent of the
bride’s father. Arabs not infrequently
change and exchange wives, to the
high satisfaction of all concerned. If‘
a man is dissatisfied with his wife he
may return her to her father, but he
'must also return her marriage portion
in full, and if she be of the Bedouin
'blood a she, camel mustbe added to
the original dower. Arab Wives as a
rule are treated with consideration
and with no small share of tenderness.
In Arabia woman’s positionois one of.
dignity, her attitude one. of self-re-
sspect. Arab men are as full of .senti-
ment as of prowess, and no more
ashamed of the one than the other.
In some Arab tribes a man and maid-
enbreaking together before three wit-
nesses a flat, thin cake of almond paste.
are formally aflianced. An Arab has
an absolute’right to the hand of . his
girl cousin. He must formally Ire-
nounce that right before she can
marry any one else. When a girl has
more than one male cousin, the prior
claim is the oldest cousin’s, or, in
some tribes, that of the oldest unmar-
ried cousin. The man must provide all
necessaries for his wife and if she has
money or earns any she spends it in
dress. If she makes him a skull cap
or a handkerchief he must pay for her
work.
In the land of Ishmael no honey-
moons are ever taken by the bridal
couple after the ceremony has been
performed. However, it frequently
falls to the lot of the
previous to the marriage. If the
bride-elect to"
make a very trying journey just,
is to be married to a man in'a neigh- .
boring town she goes to him—not he-
to her, for she is leaving her home
and he is not—What more natu'ral than
that she should be put to the incon-
venience? Besides, it is considered
luck for the bride to cover the dis-
tance, if there is any, between herself
and her future husband. And what a
picture she makes as 'she "comes rid-.
ing proudly her nuptial camel! She
rides in a litter, canopled by embroid-
ered, tasseled and tinseled silk or ,fine
cloth. On the canopy is an apprdpri-
ate text from the Koran, embroidered
in gold. The camel wears 4a proud
plume of ostrich feathers. His long
neck is dyed deep with brilliant han-
nah.

gaunt legs are swathed and hung with

rich silk. Some girl or Woman friend
rides with the bride, and attendants
and protectors precede and follow her.
