STRIFE FOR A SEAT
Peculiar Condition of
the Delaware Sen
atorship.
SOME UNIQUE ASPECTS.
Democrats May Take Advan
tage to Delay Republican
Organization.
ACTION OF THE GOVERNOR.
He Will Probably Declare No Elec
tion Held and Make an
Appointment.
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 10.-The
condition in which the Delaware senator
ship was left by tne adjournment of the
Legislature of that State is regarded with
special interest in Senatorial circles. It is
believed that the case will present some
aspects that are unique in the history of
the Senate.
It is held by some persons that the out
come of the contest may prevent the or
ganization of the Senate by the Republi
cans at the beginning of the next session.
The Democrats may lind it to their in
terest to continue in control of the com
mittees as long as possible. The Delaware
question would be referred to the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, of which
Senator Gray of Delaware is now chair
man. In the case of a purely partisan con
test the control of the committee might be
of no little importance to the Democrats.
Senator Morgan of Alabama in discuss
ing the question said: "The action of the
Governor in the premises -will be of im
portance in determining the course of the
Senate when the question of seating Mr.
Dupont shall come up for consideration.
The law requires a certificate of election
from the Governor, and while I do not feel
that I know sufficient of the facts in this
case to express a positive opinion, I should
Bay that the presumption would be against
a man who would apply to be seated with
out presenting such evidence of the validity
of his claims. I know of but one instance
in which the Senate has seated a man in
the absence of a certificate of election from
the Governor and that was in the case of
Conkling, whose certificate failed to arrive
on one occasion in time for the organization
of the Senate. In that case, however, Mr.
Conkling's election was undisputed, and
there was a telegram saying the certificate
was on the way to Washington.
"The only way in which the Delaware
Democrats can legitimately secure a hear
ing in the Senate is for Governor "Watson
to appoint a Senator on the theory that
the Legislature had adjourned without
electing, and this, I presume, he will do.
In that event, in all probability, there
would be a close contest. I have differed
from many of my Democratic colleagues
in holding that under such circumstances
the Governor of a State had a right to ap
point, and that when he did appoint it
was the duty of the Senate to seat the ap
pointee. This was the question involved
at the beginning of the Fifty-third Con
gress in the case of appointments from
Washington, Montana and Wyoming, and
I then took a position in favor of seating
these men. You will remember, however,
that the verdict of the Senate was against
them."
FREE MARIXE POSTAL S hit J ICE.
Mail Matters to Be Delivered Among
Shipping at Detroit.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.— The
Postmaster-General has decided to estab
lish a marine postal service at Detroit,
Mich., for the free delivery and collection
of mail matter for the vessels that pass up
and down the Detroit River and carrying
a floating population of 2500 to 3000. More
tonnage passes Detroit than any other port
in the world. During the season of navi
gation on the great lakes a vessel passed
Detroit every seven minutes during the
day of twenty-four hours. The new ser
vice will, therefore, be continuous, and
will be conducted by means of a steam
launch, which will be used by the postal
employes. The new service will be main
tained through the free delivery appro
priation in the bureau of the First Assist
ant Postmaster-General. Mail will be de
livered to the vessels by carriers just as it
is to ordinary business houses.
J&EX FAILED TO PASS.
Women Proved Their Intellectual /Superi
ority in a Civil Service Contest.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.—
Woman's rights advocates will find pleas
ure in the remarks of the Civil Service
Commission on an examination recently
held for library cataloguer and library
clerk for the Agricultural Department. Of
the thirty applicants for the former, all the
men failed to pass, while five out of the
Bixteen women did so. Of the ten appli
cants for the latter eight men failed and
two women passed.
Although Secretary Morton wanted men
for the places, he was moved by these re
sults to change his mind, and appointed
Miss E. H. Wales of Cnicago clerk, and
Miss G. F. Leonard of Albany, N. V., State
library cataloguer.
Every can of Dr. Price's Baking Powder

ADMIRAL MEADE'S CRITICISM.
It May Cause the Oflirer to Receive an
Orerhauling.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.— There
was considerable talk about the Navy De
partment to-day of the published interview
with Admiral Meade criticizing the ad
ministration. Criticism of a superior is an
offense, according to naval regulations. It
is possible that the Secretary of the Navy
and President may pay no attention to the
admiral's utterances, but inasmuch as a
court-martial has been ordered on the
charges preferred by Admiral Meade
against surgeon of the navy for giving
certain matter to the press, the admiral's
apparent violation of naval regulations
may be presented to the attention of the
department by officers of the navy es
pecially interested in Surgeon Kershuer.
Have Jio Fears of Japs.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.— The at
tention of Minister Kurino in Japan was
called to a dispatch from San Francisco,
published yesterday, intimating that there
is a liability of trouble from the Japanese
in the Hawaiian Islands. Kurino char
acterized the statement as absurd and ri
diculous. The Japanese in Hawaii, he
says, are an orderly and industrious
people. Most of them are farmers, and
none have received a military training.
They have shown no disposition to be tur
bulent or to do anything more than pre
serve the status secured them by the treaty.
COLOXEL CRAIGHILL PROMOTED.
He Will Succeed General Casey as Chief

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.— Colonel
W. P. Craighill has been appointed to suc
ceed Brigadier-General Casey as chief of
engineers ot the United States.
Colonel William B. Craighill, who was
appointed to-day chief of engineers of the
army, was born in Virginia and graduated

two. In 1863 he was appointed chief en
gineer of the Department of the Monon
gahela, and was breveted lieutenant-colonel
for services at the defense of Cumberland
Gap. His subsequent services have been
principally on defensive works of the har
bors of San Francisco, New York and Bal
timore, and he is now in charge of the rivers

and H. H. Diedlock, Baltimore.
Next year's convention will be held at
Atlanta.
General H. J. Holton of Virginia made
an address on "State Medicine," in which
he advocated the establishment of a Na
tional health department, to be presided
over by an additional Cabinet officer, and
said the American Medical Association
would never rest satisfied until an addi
tional health department was established
and provisions made for a permanent
National quarantine.
Mr. Woolsey of Philadelphia said there
was no use to establisn quarantines or to
do anything else looking to the prevention
and spread of disease as long as the dirty
paper money was in circulation.
A resolution was adopted memorializing
Congress to pass bills placing acting as
sistant surgeons to serve in war on the
same plane as if first lieutenants in the
regular army.
The new president, Beverly Cole of San
Francisco, was introduced and made a
felicitous speech, after which the associa
tion adjourned sine die.
THEY OBJECT TO THE BILLS.
JVetc York Police Commissioners Ho A'ot
Want to Lose Iheir Powers.
NEW YORK, N. V., May 10.— If Mayor
Strong and the Legislature at Albany heed
the formal expression of opinion of the
Police Board on the Ainsworth supple
mentary police bill that measure will not
become a law. The bill was passed by the
Legislature on Wednesday and came be
fore the Mayor for his approval to-day.
The Police Commissioners were invited to
state their views to the Mayor at a meet
ing of the board to-day. President Roose
velt said: "This bill takes away from the
commission all power of trying cases or
charges against members of the force and
intrusts it to the superintendent and to a
local board convened by him. The board
of police hereby resolve that they will ap
pear in a body before the Mayor to protest
against this legislation as thoroughly
vicious and unwise. It practically would
reduce the board to a nullity. In short,
the bill is in the interest of all that is bad
in the old system, adding much that is
worse. The board of itself will give the
superintendent proper disciplinary powers,
but it must be done in the proper way."
The other members of the board coin
cided with the views of Mr. Roosevelt.

Hazelton in Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.-Seneca
Hazelton, United States Minister to Vene

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1895.
HAS PRIOR CLAIMS.
France Takes a Hand in
the War in the
Far East.
SHE IS AFTER FORMOSA.
Great Britain Expected to Back
Up the Peculiar
Demand.
VERY SLY ARE THE POWERS.
They Promise Japan to Have China
Promptly Pay the Big
Indemnity.
LONDON, J&ro., May 11.— A dispatch
from Shanghai says that France has for
mally protested against Japan annexing the
island of Formosa and has preferred a
number of prior claims. It is regarded as
certain that Great Britain will strongly in
sist on France's claim.
A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid
says that Spain's adhesion to the three
powers that protested to Japan against the
annexation of territory in Manchuria was
promised only on condition that the pow
ers induce Japan to abandon Formosa.
A dispatch to the Times from Paris
says: M. Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, has invited the leading financiers
to meet Saturday to consider the impend
ing Chinese loan, the ways in which the
bourse might co-operate, and the condi
tions on which French capital might par
ticipate. One reason for this action on the
part of Hanotaux is that Russia, France
and Germany, in return for Japan's
pliancy in acceding to their demand, prac
tically engaged to hasten if not to secure
the punctual payment of indemnity. It
will not be surprising if the loan reaches
£180,000,000. The powers while discussing
so important a financial proposition will
not arrive at a decision without consult
ing London, without whose co-operation
such an enterprise could not be under
taken.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10.-Large
opportunities of the introduction of Amer
ican machinery and the investment of
American capital are offered by the peace
agreement Japan has just effected with
China. A provision is made that China
thall hereafter be open to the introduction
of all forms of modern machinery, and
that such machinery shall be admitted
free of duty.
American cotton machinery should
benefit, especially from the new
opening presented, and also telephones,
electric lights, printing presses and many
other devices of civilization which hereto
fore have been kept out of China.
The Emperor of China has hitherto pro
hibited the introduction of modern ma
chinery. As a result the Chinese are using
wooden plows similar to those used cen
turies ago here. Modern tools are included
under the head of machinery and mechan
ical devices, so the American plow and
other implements and tools will enter
China free of duty.
It is stated that cotton machinery will be
brought at once into extensive use, thus
enlarging the demand for the raw cotton
of the Southern States.
The Chinese use so much cotton that the
F.mperor granted a monopol}' of using
cotton machinery to the Viceroy of the
southern provinces of China. He has since
produced large quantities and has pre
vented the British and Americans at
Shanghai and elsewhere from using simi
lar machinery.
Now, however, the Viceroy's monopoly
is at an end and American machinery is
expected to be freely introduced there.
The privileges serur#d by Japan are en
ioyed by the world at large, as the most
favored nations clause compels China to
give other countries the same favors ex
tended to Japan.
PATJSO XHEIR PARTNERS.
The JU organ- Belmont Syndicate Return
ing Some Contributions.
NEW YORK, N. V., May 10.— Messrs.
J. P. Morgan & Co. and August Belmont
& Co., managers of the syndicate that
undertook to place the last issue of Gov
ernment bonds, namely. $(J2,500,000 of 4
per cents, have sent notices to their asso
ciates that they would return 40 per cent
of the money contributed to finance that
is.sne.
The gross purchase price of the 4-per
cent bonds issued last February was in
round figures $65,000,000, all of which the
syndicate contracted with the Govern
ment to pay in gold. One-half the amount
was to be obtained by the sale of half
the bonds abroad and the remainder by
marketing the bonds here. To insure
the success of this programme the two
banking houses mentioned and their as
sociates paid into the treasury at once
$32,500,000 in gold. The bonds were sold
in due time, and the money received
therefor from domestic purchasers has re
mained in the hands of the syndicate
managers ever since.
JJUnder the syndicate's contracts it man
agers were entitled to use all this money
until next October, chiefly for the purpose
of controlling the market for sterling ex
change. That market has now receded,
owing to heavy sales of bills against securi
ties sold abroad, to a point that makes
it unnecessary for the syndicate to retain
all the capital contributed for its opera
tions; hence the return of a Dart of the
amount. It is understood that payments
will be mad<» in checks, although mem
bers of the syndicate furnished gold when
they became parties to the Government
bond operation.

BECVRES A WIRE PLANT.
An Eastern Company Secures the Cali
fornia Works.
WORCESTER, Mass., May 10. — Phil
lip W. Moen, president of the Washburn
& Moen Company of this city, said this
afternoon regarding the purchase of the
plant of the California Wirerope Works by
his company: "The dispatch from San
Francisco relative to this matter is based
on truth. There has been no combination
of the Washburn-Moen Company with the
California company, however, and will be
none. We have purchased for a fraction
of the price mentioned the wirerope ma
chinery of the California Wirerope Works,
with the eood will of that company.
"We have also secured control of the
patents covering the wirerope machinery
owned by A. S. Hallidie. We have leased,
for a term of years, the buildings of the
I California company used for the manufac
ture of wirerope. The plant is used prin
cipally for the manufacture of large wire
rope cables for railways, and for use in the
mines on the Pacific Coast. We have been
operating the plant some little time, and
have In process of construction a thousand
or more large cables. The plant will be
operated in conjunction with our plant
here." ,
WESLEY AX DAY OHSERTED.
Anniversary of the Founding of the
Methodist Church.
CHICAGO, 111., May 10.— The third ob
servance of Wesleyan day in memory of
the founding of the Methodist church was
celebrated at the Auditorium by the
Methodists of Chicago last night. Despite
the high temperature the big building was
packed to the doors, fully 5000 people be

marks by President Charles E. Piper of the
Methodist Social Union Mayor Swift made
a short address on the work accomplished
by Wesley and his followers, and was fol

chancellor of the University of Denver,
who spoke on "The Relation of Methodism
to Social and Civic Problems."
President Warner Miller of the Nica

in the Organization and Development of
our Government."
An address by Dr. E. A. Schell, general
secretary of the Epworth League, upon "A
Layman's Movement" closed the pro
gramme. Between the addresses musical
numbers were rendered on the great Audi

MAKES FALSE REPORTS
Serious Charges Against the
President of an Insur
ance Company.
Other Officers In the Concern Are
Defendants In a Suit for
Removal.
DETROIT, Mich., May 10.— A sensa
tional suit, in which an accounting of the
Michigan Mutual Life Insurance Company
and the removal of President Oscar B.
Looker are prayed for, was begun in the
Wayne Circuit Court this afternoon. The
complainants are ex-Vice- President Joseph
W. Dusenbery of this city et al.
Several officers and directors of the com
pany are made party defendants with the
president. The bill alleges for ten years
past President Looker has made false state
ments concerning the company's affairs,
reporting the valuation of its real estate,
for instance, at a valuation largely in ex
cess of its market value. It is charged
that mortgages taken to secure future pre
miums on life insurance policies have been
treated as assets without any counterchaige
in the accounts of policy holders or other
wise; also, that the reports made to the
State Insurance Commissioner have em
bodied policies whicn have long since ex
pired.
Various other charges are made against
President Looker to the effect that he has
manipulated the company's balance in his
own interests and with the intent to de
fraud the stockholders. An investigation
and accounting is prayed for.
REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR.
The Ranger Appears in Time to Check a
Hit >< i Iki ill mi ill .
NEW YORK, N. V., May 10.-A special
to a morning paper from Bahama, dated
May 9, says: The British bark Chala, which
arrived here this morning, carried 150
troops of the Ecuador Government from
Manta, convoyed by the gunboat Coto
paxi, carrying 200 to Puntasua, off Esmer
alda, May 3.
In trying to effect a landing the troops
met with continuous firing from the shore
and were forced to retreat with heavy
losses. Captain Bayano of the Cotopaxi,
realizing the uselessness of his guns at the
distance from Puntasua, turned his
course to a point nearer to Esmeralda and
began to shell the town effectively. Then
he threatened a regular bombardment un
less the rebels evacuated their position
within twenty-four hours.
At this juncture the Ranger, under cable
orders of the United States to protect
American interests, made its appearance.
It was a timely entrance on the scene.
Captain Watson of the Ranger landed im
mediately under a flag of truce, and his
wise counsel and friendly influence pre
vailing, the rebels quitted Esmeralda and
Captain Bayano assumed possession.
The rebels remain encamped in the vi
cinity. The revolution is everywhere gain
ing in Ecuador. General Alfaro has been
proclaimed its leader. The rebel general,
Bowen, holds Babahoyo, which is on the
Guayas, seventy miles from Guayaquil,
with an army of 1200 men.

TRAGEDY ON A SIDEWALK.
August Tepptr Killa a Servant Girl and
Himself.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 10.-On the
sidewalk in front of 36 North Seventh
street, at 9 A. M. to-day, in the presence of
a throng of passers-by, August Tepper,
manufacturer of novelties, aged 36 years,
shot Clara Herhold, alias Schmidt* aged
20, twice in the right side. He then sent a
bullet into his head, dying almost in
stantly. The girl died half an hour later.
Tepper is a married man. He was des
perately in love with Miss Herhold, but
his advances were coldly received. The
girl came from Germany a year ago and
lived with Tepper's family as a servunt.
Tepper's attentions became so annoying
to her that she left the place a month ago.
Tepper's annoyance of the girl did not
cease, and last week she swore out a war
rant for his arrest. As she had no money
it was not served. Tepper's wife refused
to receive his body and it was taken to the
Morgue.

HOT FIGHTS IN CUBA.
Victories Claimed by
the Opposing"
Forces.
MANY SPANIARDS SLAIN
Insurgents Claim That They
Yet Have a Chance
to Succeed.
MINOR DEFEATS FOR THEM.
Spain, HoweVer, Is Determined to
Crush the Rebellion In
Short Order.
NEW YORK, N. V., May 10.— A special
to the World from Songo, Cuba, says : A
World correspondent interviewed General
Maceo, who was found in his camp in the
forest a league from Jaragueca and forty
miles from Santiago.
General Maceo gave out some details of
the fight at Hondo Creek, near Guantana
mo, in which his brother, Jose Maceo, who
is not dead after all, had a sharp encounter
with 500 Spanish soldiers of Simanceo's
regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel Bosch.
The Spaniards were attacked from am
bush. Jose Maceo had 700 followers. The
Spaniards admit a loss of sixteen killed
and several officers wounded. According
to a letter just received by General Maceo
from his brother the Spaniards suffered
severely. The Cubans used their machetes
with deadly effect when the Spanish sol
diers had fired away their ammunition.
Maceo placed his men in position in
thickets along the bank of the Hondo,
which at that point is a stream about
thirty feet wide. Colonel Bosch ap
proached early in the morning along the
bank of the creek, and on receiving the
fire of the rebels drew his men into posi
tion in a canefield. The firing continued
until 1 o'clock. As usual, the Spaniards
wasted much ammunition needlessly, and
when it was exhausted Jose Maceo
charged across the river and cut many
down with the machetes. One of Maceo's
lieutenants, a French half-breed named
Alcide de Verger, rode recklessly to the
creek, calling on his men to use their
machetes. A shot from the Spaniards
killed the daring man. The Spanish regu
lars were aided by 200 volunteers from
Guantanamo. Colonel Bosch's men with
drew when they had fired away their am
munition. This is a fatal fault of the
Spaniards.
The ollieers appear to make no effort to
prevent the soldiers from banging away as
fast as they can. When armed with a
swift breech-loading magazine rifle like
the Mauser it does not take long to throw
away the 100 rounds with which each man
is provided.
Jose Maceo was left in his position, and
he still held it when the steamer left this
morning for Santiago.
TAMPA, Fla., May 10.— Passengers ar
riving on the steamer Mascotte say the
condition of things is encouraging to the
Cuban insurgents. It is said that Cama
guey has been invaded by Gomez, who,
with 3000 insurgents, besieged Guimaro
on Monday. There were about 2000
Spaniards in the city. After the fighting,
which became disastrous for the besieged,
a regiment of Cadiz numbering about
2500 arrived, attacking the Cubans in the
rear.
Gomez quickly recovered from the first
onslaught. While a small force kept up
the conflict with the forces of the city his
main body faced the new enemy.
The fighting was very fierce, but it is as
serted that the strategy of Gomez and
valor of the insurgents resulted in a vic
tory. The regiment of Cadiz, it is said,
was cut to pieces.
The city, the passengers say, is in the
possession of the insurgents. The Cuban
loss of killed and wounded is put at 700.
Spanish loss 3000.
Smallpox and yellow fever are very
prevelant. Campos is said to be greatly
displeased with the situation and the in
surgent leaders are hopeful of another
crisis in the Cabinet, which will require
Campos to return to Spain.
The Cubans assert that dissatisfaction
exists among the troops over the execu
tion of Gallego. On this account Lieu
tenant Mahey, who was taken to Havana
for execution, was not executed, but was
decorated with medals for valor.
MADRID, Spain, May 10.— The defeat of
the Cuban insurgents under Matagas has
been officially confirmed.
The rebels set hre to the railway bridge
between Caminos and San Luis.
More troops have arrived in Cuba, and
the campaign will now be more actively
pushed. The report from Tampa of a re
pulse on Monday of a Spanish force at
Guimaro by the rebels under Gomez is de
nied by the officials here, who say that no
open engagement occurred.
Senor Castellane, Colonial Minister,
stated in the Cortes to-day that Captain-
General Martinez de Campos was author
ized to introduce reforms in Cuba the
moment he deemed the time opportune.
A dispatch received here from Havana
says the Spanish troops operating against
the Cuban rebels have dispersed two bands,
one commanded by Matagas and the other
by Castillon, capturing their arms and
ammunition.

Austria's Mmperor Arts Upon the Ad
vice of Count Kalnoky.
LONDON, Eng., May 10.— A dispatch to

danger now of an immediate crisis. Em
peror Francis Joseph has decided, in ac
cordance with the note of Count Kalnoky,
Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, that
representations will be made to the Vatican
in regard to the proceedings in Hungary of

who went about the country denouncing
the ecclesiastical bills. Baron Banffy, the
Hungarian Prime Minister, who protested
against Mgr. Agliardi's course, will receive
a high decoration.
After Four Years' Exile.
BELGRADE, Sekvia, May 10. — Ex-
Queen Natalie arrived here to-day after
haying been in exile four years. She was

Englnnd G!re» Assurances.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 10.— Governor
O'Brien received a dispatch from England
to-day intimating that the Imperial Min
istry was willing to give favorable consid
eration to certain suggested concessions on
the part of Great Britain toward consum
mating the union of Newfoundland and
Canada, providing the Newfoundland
Government partly guarantees to perform
their part of the contract, namely, to pass
a measure through the Legislature settling
the French shore questions satisfactorily
to Great Britain and France.
SIR CHARLES IS PRESIDENT.
He Will Guide the Jiestinies of the Grand
Trunk Railway.
LONDON, England, May 10.— The new
board of directors of the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada held a meeting to-day
and elected Sir Charles Rivers Wilson
president and Joseph Price vice-president.
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson succeeds Sir
Henry Tyler, who resigned. He was put
forward for this office in the circulars of
the shareholders' committee, which suc
ceeded in seenring a majority of the
proxies of the company's stock. It will be
remembered that he spent some months in
this country last fall investigating the
Central Pacific Railroad and its relations
to the Southern Pacific on behalf of the
English bondholders. He has long been
prominent in financial circles in England,
and has held many important positions of
honor and trust under the English Gov
ernment. He was one of its commission
ers in readjusting the Egyptian debt ques
tion.
OBJECTIOXS TO nUELIXO.
Practice of Soldiers and Students Com-
ment'd on in the Reichstag.
BERLIN, Germany, May 10.— In the
Reichstag Herr Bebel, Socialist, attacked
the practice of dueling, which he declared
was contrary to religion and morality. He
especially commented upon the students'
associations, in which dueling was for
mally recognized.
The Minister of war, General Bronsart
yon Schellingdorf, replied that Herr Bebel
was incapable of understanding the views
of army officers on this question. Dueling,
he added, was only resorted to in the army
when all endeavors looking to a peaceable
settlement of the matter in dispute had
failed.
BENEFICIAL TO BOLIVIA
Conclusion of the Treaty
of Peace With
Chile.
By the Terms the Little Republic
Cains Territory and a
Pacific Port.
BUENOS AYRES, Argentine, May 10.—
A dispatch from Valparaiso to-day states
that the treaty of peace and friendship has
been concluded between Chile and Bolivia,
by which the former cedes to Bolivia a
small strip of territory and a portion of the
Pacific midway between Iquique and
Pisagua. Chile, in return, receives great
commercial advantages.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 10,-The
conclusion of the Chile-Bolivia treaty is
said to be of far-reaching importance, par
ticularly to Bolivia, as it makes the latter
a Pacific coast country after it has been
shut inland for ten years. Officials here
say that when Chile concluded her war
against Peru and Bolivia, the victors took
all the seacoast territory of Bolivia, leav
ing her land-locked, like Switzerland, with
out opportunity for commerce by the Pa
cific, and unable to maintain a navy. In
1884, a treaty of truce was effected between
Chile and Bolivia, but the latter did not
get back her coast territory. After re
maining hemmed in for ten years, Bolivia
now gains a Pacific port and a strip of
territory. This will enable her to resume
commerce by the Pacific without crossing
Chilean soil, and it will permit a re-estab
lishment of her navy. Minister Cana of
Chile has not been officially advised of the
conclusion of the treaty.
From repeated tests at the World's Fair
and California Midwinter Fair, all other
baking powders were proven far inferior
to Dr. Price's.
Restricting Copper Exports.
LONDON, Eng., May 11.— The Daily
News says it is understood that an agree
ment has been virtually arrived at with the
representatives of American mines by
which the export of copper from the United
States during 1895 will be restricted to a
certain fixed amount which is somewhat
below the exports of 1894. A percentage
reduction is being made on the European
output. The details of the agreement are
to be ratified at the monthly meeting of
the producers next week.
A Rebuff to German Ministers.
LONDON, Eng., May 11.— A dispatch to
the Standard from Berlin says : The rejec
tion of paragraph 111 of the anti-revolu
tion bill in the Keichstag has caused a
great sensation in political circles. It adds
that the Reichstag has administered a re
buff to the ministers and federal councils
which may lead to momentous conse
quences.
