Special Dispatch to The Evening Star: TOPEKA, Kan., March 22.—Positive in- formation has been received from Con- Sressman-at-large W. A. Harris by the populist leaders in Kansas announcing that he will not accept a renomination. The refusal of Harris to stand for re- nomination has started a robust boom for Jerry Simpson for Congressman-at-large. His most formidable opponent is State Sen- | ator Landis of Medicine Lodge, Simpson's | home. The inside talk among the leading popu- lists clearly indicates that Governor Lewell- ing is a candidate for United States Sen- ator, and that he will not ask for a renom- ination for governor from the populist state convention, which will meet at Salina dur- ing the latter part of May. Governor Lewelling is tired of the execu- tive office and wants to make a change. He is ambitious to go to the United States Senate and will pull every string in that direction. There is no chance for Senator Martin to be re-elected if he must depend on populist votes. pase 2 FRANCIS MURPHY’S CONVERTS. Two Months Eight Thousand Have Signed the Pledge. LOCKPORT, IIL, March 22. — Francis | Murphy, the apostle of temperance, !s con- | ducting a most successful temperance cam- paign in this city. He began his labors last Sunday evening and will continue them through the week. Before coming to Lock- port he led a series of gospel temperance meetings in Joliet, Plaintield, Coal City, Wilmington and other places, and not less |ealled upon the civil guards to maintain RIOTING SPANIARDS | Santander Authorities Blamed for the Explosion. TROOPS SUMMONED 10 THE (IY Preparing Honors for Kossuth in Hungary. ANOTHER BOMB EXPLOSION SANTANDER, Spain, March 22—The! greatest excitement prevails throughout the | elty of Santander today, and only the pres-| ence of a strong force of troops, patrolling | the streets and stationed at every conve- nient point, prevents great disorder and bloodshed. As cabled last night, Santander has been the scene of another dynamite ex- plosion, and the local authorities are blamed for the loss of life which followed. The explosion of last night was the result | of apparent carelessness in removing what | remained of the carge of dynamite in the | submerged hulk of the Spanish steamer Cabo Machichaco, which blew up on No- vember 2 last, while alongside a wharf here, where she had taken fire. When the feeling of alarm had subsided it gave place to fierce resentment against the authorities, and so soon as it was as- certained that there was no danger of a| conflagration a mob of furious people sur- | rounded the houses occupied by the civil! governor and by the engineer who had charge of the supervision of removing the dynamite from the sunken steamship. The governor and engineer hastily barricaded themselves in their houses, while the mob shouted threats at them, and appeared upon the point of attacking thelr resi- dences. The municipal authorities, so soon as they were informed of the situation of affairs, order, and the latter succeeded in driving back ‘the mob. But so many people gathered in the streets, and the attitude of the people being so threatening, troops were summoned from several of the neighboring towns. The mil- itary arrived during the night, and has since been patrolling the streets, occupying | strategic positions and guarding the banks | and other similar buildings which, it was believed, would be attacked by.the mob, In the meanwhile the civil governor and the other local authorities went to the scene of the explosion and organized the work of rescue. Ambulance parties were hastily formed, the wounded were cared for as promptly as possible, and the bodies of the dead were gathered together. HONORS FOR KOSSUTH. Buda Pesth Will Pay the Expenses of His Funera’ BUDA PESTH, March 22.—A committee appointed by the municipal authorities to act for the elty in regard to the funeral of Louls Kossuth has resolved to send a mes- sage of sympathy to the family, and, in addition, a deputation, headed by the vice burgomaster, will go to Turin in order to superintend the arrangements for the funer- al and to lay a wreath upon the coffin. The city of Buda Pesth wil! defray all the costs of the removal of the remains of the Hungarian patriot to this city, and, in addi- tion, the city will meet all the expenses of the ‘funeral and will provide the money necessary for the erection of a tomb and | mausoleum in honor of Gen. Kossuth. The committee having charize of the funer- al arrangements is composed of citizens of Buda Pesth, irrespective of party and poli- ties, and it’has been decided to Invite sub- scriptions throughout Hungary for the erec- tion of the proposed Kossuth memorial. TURIN, March 22.—Telegrams of condo-| lence continue to pour in upon the Kossuth family. The mayors of the various Italian cities have sent messages of sympathy, and Sig-| nor Zanardelli and other statesmen have | sent sympathetic telegrams to the family of the Hungarian patriot. The remains of Kossuth will leave Ti for Bada Pesth, on Tuesday next 70" ™ LIKE THE MADE Explosion of a Bomb in a Church Near Grenoble. PARIS, March 22.—A dispatch from Gre- noble says that a bomb was exploded yes- terday afternoon in the Church of Gallieau, near Grenoble. The bomb, it appears, was placed against a screen inside the main en- trance of the church mentioned and it ex- Ploded at about 4 o'clock, as the congrega- tion was leaving the sacred edifice after the service. The explosion injured twenty persons, three of whom may die as the result of the injuries which they sustained. The explosion caused a panic in the church, during which a number of other people were injured by being trampied under foot. No arrests had been made at the time the dispatch was sent from Grenoble. ANOTHER AFRICAN WAR. INE AFFAIR. The British Again in Trouble With a Native King. LONDON, March 22.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Uganda, says that the British have declared war against the pow- erful king, Kabaraga of Unyoro. It is be- lieved that the king was incensed at the | erection, by the British, of several forts upon his territory, and that he is, therefo marching against the friendly king, Toro, | who permitted this. It is added that the British force, under Capt. Roddy Owen, with a number of Nu- bian soldiers and a Maxim gun, has been dispatched to meet the foree commanded by King Kabaraga. Finally, it is stated that widespread trou- ble is expected. Irish Notes. DUBLIN, March 22.—Ten families on Lord Dillon’s Lough Glynn estate, near Castle- reagh, have been evicted.

OTTAWA, Ont., March Cartwright in the house of commons last evening called the attention of the govern- ment to a stetement in the American press to the effect that the American government had sent out a squadron to protect the seals going north to the breeding grounds in the Bering sea, and that it was the intention of these eruisers to deal with any | one trespassing against the regulations of the Paris tribunal. What he wanted to know was if these regulations were now binding and in force. Sir John Thompson, the regulations of the Pavis tribunal no force or validity upon British subjec until enactment had been passed by Gre Britain. He did not believe that an Ameri- Sir Richard | in reply, said that can squadron had been sent to enforce the P; regulations of the is tribunal. cruisers had been di tched they were, no doubt, for the purpose of seeing that American sealers conformed to such laws as were passed by Congress, or are about to be passed by Congress. Concluding, Sir John said that the modus vivendi was not! now in force. If any Se eee Houk Defeats Gibson at Knoxville.

The Commander Says That They Will Take Food Where They Find It— Gen, Fry Arrested. J. S. Coxey, president of the Commonweal, arrived at Pittsburg yesterday to make ar- rangements for the passage of his command through Allegheny. What these arrange- ments are he refuses to say. Coxey talked at great length about his project, and answered a number of ques- tions without losing his temper. He said the army will start out from Washington, D. C., with 4,000 men. When asked if he realized the responsibility he was taking upon himself by trying to keep that many men in food and contented during the thirty-five days of travel, he said every man going with him understood he was not going to a picnic. The bulletins, he de- clared, showed this. Asked what he would do if his supposi- tion that the residents along the route will feed his men does not prove true, he said they would probably follow the example of Christ in plucking the ears of corn. This led to the question whether he did not think such action will probably land him in jail. He said: “If Christ lived to- day He would be hauled up asa tramp. We have laws that the hungry must be fed.” He advanced a new idea in stating that Congress will be so impressed with the peace army that a special bill will be passed to provide transportation home to the men who walk to Washington. He said he is not in the movement for the glory, but for the good it will do the people. Asked if he be- lieved all his own claims and statements, he said he did. The Daughter of the Regiment. “Mrs. Caroline Coxey” was an entry on the Hurford House register at Canton, Ohio, yesterday. She is the divorced wife of Gen. Coxey. She has a seventeen-year- old daughter, of whom she was given the custody when divorced from her husband. “The father,” said Mrs, Coxey, “had my child meet him at a hotel in Massillon yes- terday. Lieut. Browne was with Coxey when the girl arrived. They proposed to dress her in the Stars and Stripes, mount her on a white horse, and have her ride to Washington ahead of the army of peace. He presented the project in such glowing terms that the girl was enchanted with the idea, and promised to go if her mother would consent, but I put a damper on that | plan, and told them if the child was in- duced to go I would have both Coxey and Browne arrested for kidnaping. More Letters for Coxey, Coxey received three letters promising recruits and supplies from Michigan City, Ind.; Jackson, Mich., and Bradford, Pa. The telegrams indicate that Gen. Coxey is being made the victim of practical jokers all over the country. He accepts all the proffers of recruits and supplies as genuine. Judging by the investigation, so far as it | has proceeded, the crusade will prove a | monumental farce. Secret meetings among the unemployed of Indianapolis have been held for several days, and it is known that a large number of idle men will go to Massillon to join the army under Coxey. ° Left for Washington, A company of eighty or more unemployed workingmen were organized at San An- tonio, Texas, Tuesday, with A. F. Merrill as captain, and they left for Washington by way of St. Louis, where they expect to join the so-called industrial army. Each member of the company signed writ- ten articles of agreement that they wouid | remain together until they have reached their objective point. Excitement at EL so. eneral Lewis C. Fry of the army of un- employed, who arrived at El Paso, Tex., Tuesday afternoon in advance of the first Cailfornia regiment of S00 men, notified the city authorities that the regiment would rive last night, and asked that they be for the one day they would be there. The mayor called a special meeting of city council and citizens yesterday. A a stormy session lasting over two hours mayor Was instructed to have “General” Fry arrested and issue a proctamation tor volunteers to go to the Texas and Mexico line, where they will meet the regiment of | unemployed and prevent their entering Texas, Mayor Solomon also telegraphed Governor Hogg for state troops. A mass meeting was later held, a the action of the city council was demned and a subscription of £00 w ed to feed the hungry men when they reach El Paso. Telegrams from the mayor of Tucson, Ariz., were read, stating that the “ariny” consisted of (4) men and arrived there yes- terday morning. They were wei! behaved and orderly, and after being fed and vided with extra rations started for El/ Paso. General Fry was releasad last night and will go on in advance of the army to- day. tne eee Coxey's Army.

ENGLISH INFLUENCES se Mr. Charles H. Cramp, the senior mem- ber of tae great firm of shipbuilders, is at the Arlington. He was asked last night what he thought about the free ship bill now pending in Congress, and about which considerable discussion nas been indulged in recently. “If you mean the Fithian free ship bill,” said Mr. Cramp, thoughtfully stroking his iron-gray beard, “its object is not correctly stated in its title. It should be called a bill to wreck American shipbuilding; or a bill to promote that industry in Great Britain. Then the public would understand its scope and purpose. It might also be viewed in a political or diplomatic aspect and entitled a billeto provide a neutral asy- lum for the English merchant marine in case of war between that country and any other maritime power.” Mr, Cramp had become wonderfully in- teresting. “You certainly don’t mean to use tl words about wrecking American shipbuil ing in their literal sense, do you?” was suggested. “I most certainly d was the response. “The construction of merchant vessels would cease in this country if the bill be- came a law.” Demands of Coastwixe Trade. “Wouldn’t the demands of the coast-wise trade, which 1s exempted by it, keep our shipyards going?” queried The Star repre- sentative. “That is nonsense,” ¢jaculated Mr. Cramp with emphasis. “Those demands wouldn't sustain any one of the half dozen principal seaboard shipyards in this country, If our own yard was empty; if we had ro naval | or transatlantic construction on hand, I would sign contracts tonight to duplicate every coastwise steamsnip that has been ‘built since 1889, and deliver the whole lot in twelve months. The state of the indus- try ten years ago, when the rebuilding of the navy was begun, fairly represents the capacity of the coastwise trade to suscain shipbuilding.” “Why couldn’t American shipyards com- pete with the English in our present state of development?” “For numerous reasons. For example, we now pay $18 per week for classes of skilled labor that the English builders can get for $40. That proportion runs through all the Principal trades. Manifestly, competition on such a basis would be handicapped. Per- haps if our skilled workmen would be con- tent with $3.40 a week we might talk about competition, but, as far as I have ascer- tained their views—and I talk with them nearly every day—they would not hail such a proposition with enthusiasm American ard British Workmen, “How do your workmen compare with the British?” “On the average, they do more work,and | spect Is not enough to equalize $18 a week with $0.40," said Mr. Cramp, with a smile. He did not know how many men were em- ployed in the various shipyards of the coun- try, but gave some interesting figures about his own. “Our works employ 5,600 men directly, and furnish employment for twice that number in the mills, forges and foundries that make our material. 1 have estimated that our shipyard and its accessories feed, clothe and provide homes for 75,000 men, women and children; and I have no hes- itancy in saying that the passage of the means of livelihood. Our works would un-| pelled to shut down as soon'as the con-| struction now in hand was completed. There would be no alternative, unless our men | would agree to work for about half of their present wages. “Then, too,” continued Mr. Cramp, grow- ing warmer on his subject, “if our ship- building industry were destroyed, and our people made dependent on England for their ships, it would amount in great part} ence. No maritime nation can maintain commercia! independence or political auton- omy without capacity to build ghips. “The South American states ate little bet- ter off than British colonies or dependencies in this respect. The promoters of the free! ship doctrine are a few ship brokers inj Boston and New York, mostly foreigners, and the ship builders and ship owners of England. The latter have maintained here an elaborate and expensive legislative agen- cy for years, and their chief mouthpiece has been editing several metropolitan news- papers so far as this question is concerned. ‘They have been at it ever since 1870. T do/ not now remember all the phases in which | this English legislation has shown its head, | but they have been many.

Every cause must have an effect; contra- every effect must have a preceding cause. What {1s the primary cause of this conception and what will be its effect? We have so long boasted of our freedom, pf our magni ent resource of our un- paralleled prosperity, in fact, the great | American eagle has become so accustomed to spre am, and this ved with such unbounded enthusiasm »plause; our statesmen and orators hav vied “with each other in sounding the praises of our glorious institutions, that we have become | partially blinded in self-laudations, until ndations of our great’ fabric are endangered by an army of “tramps” a hundred thousand strong, that threatens to move upon the capital of the nation and overawe Congress by a grand but peaceful petition of distress, into legislating for the benefit of the toiling—no, not tolling, but idle—millions who are at this moment face | to face with destitution, and almost within | the realms of grim despair. And why?| Simply because they are out of labor and, | therefore, without the power to keep the| gaunt wolf of hunger, nakedness and dis- tress from the door. And who are these men that are threaten- | ing this invasion? If they reach the city, | it will be found that the body will not be | made up of what is termed the “scum of | Europe,” but will be largely composed of | American citizens, many of whom bared | their breasts to the storms of war in 4d fense of their country when blood flowed | in torrents; many of their immediate de scendants, children of men who fought in | performance | the national army in every battle from | Bull Run to Appomattox; men whom every candidate for off from Maine to Cali- a, will ta the hand this fall and solicit thelr votes; for, although a northern man, I must admit, as all others must, that | the cloud is altogether in the north—the southern skies ar, and no mutterings are heard in that direction.

Not to speak | of our own concern, take, for example, the Union iron works ‘of San Francisco; the Columbian works of Ealtimore or’ Mr. Huntington's ship yard at Newport New Their work has never been surpassed b; any foreign builder.” “The demands of the new navy resp not? have been sible for this development, have they | t was mainly due to that at first, but} now there is much important commercial work on hand, or in sight, and the passage | of the Fithian bill would send every ton of | it to the Clyde, the Tyne or to Belfast. Why, such a law would be worth ten mil- lion dollars to British ship yards during the next five years. They could afford to pay that to pass the bill, not to speak of the English ship owners who have between Su0,000 and a million tons of idle and half worn out old hulks to sell cheap. “But, @fter all, that is not the main thing,” continued Mr, Cramp, after a m ment’s refiection. ‘The English govern- ment itself could afford to p: a hundred million—an untold sum, diplomatic advantages which a ready asy lum for its merchant marine, under our flag, would give them in dealing with other raval pc England is princi in fact—for the} ly afraid of France and Russia, particularly the latter, in this respect. I wish I was at liberty to repeat me conversations I have had with emi- nent Russian and French naval officers on this subect. England's weak spot in war is her merchant marine, that is the heel of | her Achilles. Her inability to transfer it} quickly to a neutral flag is a bond to keep the peace in an untold sense. The English Navy. “But, Mr. Cramp, isn’t the English navy fleet?” inquired the reporter. “No, sir,” was the quick response. “Re-/| member the Alal War between Eng-| a and Franc Russia would turn} Alabamas on the ocean, For] every one that the fast British cruisers could catch or destroy two would come out. | ot owners of | and cargoes. In a word, the re not fight a naval power with- out itral asylum for their merchant fleet.” Thereupon Mr. Cramp excused him- self to join a theater party. ——_—__— Koston Sporting Ven Arrested.

The Secretary of the Treasury has pre- pared a statement of the case of Anna- dale for the benefit of the British ambas- sador, who has been instructed by his gov- ernment to investigate the case. The pa- pers submitted by the Treasury Depart- ment show that its officers acted altogether on information volunteered by Anuadale himself, and that if he was improperly de- ported it was his own fault in deceiving and misleading the immigration authorities. Treasury officials are of opinion that the man is insane and ts not responsible for his utterances. When in the United States he claimed to be a British subject, and now he is on British territory he says he is a citi- zen of the United States.
