tdfll A: hai'....,es———'~it-1.ivo 1 Has Served
to Awaksn {ace Feeling.
Londczn,Maich21.—-lle111.‘11'kable unan-
imity cf the a'ppiov al by 10111 classes
and masses of the n1e1e suggestion of
an Anglo- -A.me1ican alliance compels
belief in the sincerity of the desire of
the British public for an entente with
the United States. The fact that most
ofthe cable dispatches from America
have proclaimed that the suggestion
has been seriously discussed is heartily.
welcomed here and is lOg‘C—JCZL‘A- d as ex-
tremely important and i,1at1‘.ying,as
evincing a friendly Spillt.
“They are," as a diplomatist put it,
“inspiring hope that the differences of
the past will be buried and that Anglo-
Saxons in the near future will be found
issuing identical notes to all opposed
to their common interests."
“It is not any stretch of imagina-
tion,” the diplatist continued. “to say
that such a union has been longed for
by the best men in (31:31 Britain for
many years, not only because of the
genuine wish for closer bonds of friend-
ship, but because it is a known fact
that all the statesmen of Europe real-
ize that a close alliance between Amer-
ica and Great Britain would constitute
not only the surest guarantee of the
peace of the world, but would afford
proof that the reign of law and individ-
ual liberty is to be extended for the
benefit of mankind. in spite of the ef-
forts to extinguish it made by reaction-
ary rulers and governments.”
Weekly newspapers pay considerable
attention to foe subject. The Speaker
says:
“It is impossible for the statesmen of
either country to find a nobler object to
which to devote their energies and their
lives. Whatever the actual relations in
which the governments of London and
Washington regard the matter, the
American people may be assured that
if they wish for an agreement the peo-
ple of Great Britain also wish for one.
We do not wish to ask the Americans
to fight our battles, just as we feel con-
vinced that they are too proud to de-
sire that we should fight theirs. But
what we do wish and what wise men
on both sides must earnestly desire, is
that each nation shall feel that it has
the other a friend and a brother, on
whose sympathy it can rely in time of
need.”
The Speekcr noting the good feeling
expressed in the United States says:
“The Americans are quite right in as-
suming that they will have the sup-
port of the Britisher should a Contin-
ental alliance attempt to oppress them.
If our people once realize the condi-
tion of Cuba, half of England would
be calling America hard names be-
cause they had not intervened earlier
to stop the horrors perpetrated at their
very doors.”
New Coma: Discovered.
Cambridge Mass, March 21.—A tele-
gram has been received at the Harvard
College Observatory from Professor
Schaeberle, at the Lick Observatory,
stating that Dr. Perrine has just dis-
covered a bright comet. Its position
on March 20, d. 0374 (Oh. 53m. 525.)
Greenwich mean time, was as follows:
Right ascension, 21h. 18m. 36.65.; de-
clination north, 16 degrees 43m. 23s.;
.daily motion in right ascension plus 3m.
44s.; daily motion in declination plus
1 degree 1m. The comet is 2m. in di-
ameter, of the seventh magnitude, has
strong central condensation and a tail
1 degree long.
No Interference by Gertnany.
London, March 21.—The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times confirms the
statement that Germany has no incli-
nation to interfere in' the Cuban ques—
tion. He cites the Berlin Post as say-
ing that Germany’s complex commer-
cial interests, as well as her regard for
the German residents in the United
States, forbid such an interference. The
Daily Chronicle this morning repeats
editorially its declaration that Michael
Davitt’s attempt to show that England
hates America has been “ludicrously
unsuccessful,” and challenges him to
obtain half a dozen votes in support of
a. pro-Spanish resolution in any open
meeting in any town in England, Scot-
land, or Wales.
Sheriff l‘lartin to be Tried Again.
V‘Vilkesbarre, March l9.—Sheriff Mar-
tin and six or seven of the fifty-six
deputies who were recently acquitted
in the Lattimer cae will once more face
a jury on the charge of murder. This
was determined at a meeting to—day of
the Prosecuting Committee. and Attor-
neys Garman, Bic-Galn'en and Scarlet. 1
The attorneys suggested that a
change of venue would be desirable and
that it might result in the admission of
much of the evidence ruled out by
Judge Woodward in the recent trial.
There is some evidence to present.
Gladstone's Health Critical.
London, March 21.——The Pall Mall
Gazette asserts that Mr. Gladstone's
physical condition is appreciably worse.
Intense‘pains whether neuralgia or due
to a. malignant growth, have caused
him extreme suffering, and the result
is that his physical powers and the ac-
tion of his heart have become gravely
enfeebled.
Old Star Route Cases Killed.
San Francisco,
sistant United States District Attor-
ney says that telegraphic instructions ;
have been received f1om Washington '
'to dismiss the Star Route cases. These
old suits were begun by the Govern- '
ment to recover about half a million
dollars, with interest, from the year
1882.
May Shut Out Our lVIeats.
Berlin, March 21.—0fficials of the
Brunswick Government report that
they lately discovered trichinosis in
several packages of American meat.

meat. \

SPANISH TORPE‘DO FLOTILLA.
W asliingtofi Authorities Keep Themselves
Informed as to!“ Movements. '
\‘i’ashington, March 21.——There is no
doubt that the authorities here are
keeping themselves fully advised as to
the movement of the Spanish torpedo
flotilla, now en route from Spain. Up
to last night the official advices were to
the effect that the flotilla had not left
the Canaries, where a. stop was made
to await the arrival of a Spanish
cruiser.
Persons acquainted with the facts
say
only temporary, and that there is no
purpose on the part of the Spanish
Government to turn back the torpedo
boats because of the removal of the
Texas and Massachusetts from Key
West. On the contrary, the purpose,
as made known in Washington, is that
the torpedo flotilla will continue its
trip to Cuba and Puerto Rico.
It was stated by a person highin naval
authority that 110 steps had been taken
toward intercepting this flotilla or
warning it away. There has been con-
siderable conjecture in this line by
naval officers, based on the idea that
if an emergency was in fact near at
hand it would be inexpedient to allow
a large torpedo flotilla to rendezvous
on ii is side.
SA E‘s'l-RAUT AND PIC' (.LES
Legal Opinion as to W'lietlier They Should
is Sold by Dry 01‘ “’et llIeasure.
Washington March 21.——The Sealer of
Weights and Measures for the District
of Columbia recently submitted to the
attorney for the District for his opinion
the question as to whether sauerkraut
and pickles should be sold by wet or
dry measure. The attorney has de-
cided the. vexed point in the follow-
ing opinion:
“The well- known Geiman prepara-
tion of cabbage, known as saue1kraut,
from the methods of its manufacture
contains more or less of liquids, but
the greater part of the preparation is
solid. My opinion is that it should
be sold by dry measure. As to pickles,
the customs, as I am informed, is to sell
both by dry and liquid measure. If
the pickles are not drained they are
sold by liquid measure. If the brine
or vinegar is drained off, they are sold
by dry measure. My opinion is that
sauerkraut should be sold by dry meas-
ure and that pickles should be sold by
dry and liquid measure, according as
they are drained or not.”
Set-Back for \Vanamaker.
Lancaster, Pa... March 21.—The incur-
sion of ex~Postmaster-General Wan-
amaker into this city’s Quay preserve
does: not seem to have been a shining
sucress, gauged by the result of Sat-
urday's hotly fought Republican pri~
mar); election. In fact his visit here
has proved a boomerang, for every
Quay candidate in sight has come out
ahead as far. as heard from. Included
in the slaughter is State Senator C. C.
Kar i‘i‘man, the anti-Quay leader in the
last egislatuie L, who is beaten by J. A.
Stober, an out— and-out Quay, adherent,
who has a majority of 800 or so, re-
assuring a similar plurality of four
years ago. A solid Quay delegation to
the next Legislature, seven all told, IS
also chosen; likewise a full contingent
of a dozen Quay delegates to the next
State Convention.

inches up to thirteen inches, the larg—
est made for use in the United States
Army and Navy. The contract calls
for $551,900 worth of projectiles for the
Navy; $300,000 for the army, and $200,-
000' for both departments. It will re-
quire at least a year, working conin-
ually on the contract day and night,
Sundays included, to complete the con-
' tract.
Mrs. Burnett Seeks Divorce.
Washington, March 2l.—Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett the well-known nov-
ielist has instituted proceedings for di-
vorce against her husband Dr. Swan
M. Burnett. The papers in the case
are withheld from publication. The
Agrounds‘ on which the decree is asked

‘donment and failure to support. The
last named, howevei, is only technical,
as Mrs. Burnett is believed to have an
independent fortune.
Widow Found Read in the River.
New,ark N. J. March 21.—The body
of Catherine Hogan, a widow, was
found floating in the Passaic River off

lips and in her mouth it would appear
that she had first taken carbolic acid
and then thrown herself in the river.
Panda Rumor Untrne.

ably with Puerto Principe as his des-
tination.
