DENVER, Coro., March 5 — Cardinal Satol ited parish schools, hospitals and colleges and received calls and petitions all day,and every momeat from early mass unti!l a late hour this evening was busily employed. The most important petition was presented by a delegation of wealthy churchmen calling the attention of the Cardinal to the troubles arising out | of the yearsof controversy between Bishop | Matz, his priests and members of the; church in Denver. The varochial schools, the complaints of the priests and the de- plorable financial chaos of the diocese were all reviewed, and the Cardinal was asked to make a decision that would effect- ually end all these culties. Cardinal Satolli said that he wouid be in Washing- ton on the 12th inst., when he would lose no time in examining fully the Denver situation. He departs to-morrow for Kansas City.

A Sixstory Structure in New | York May Be Totally Destroyed. Manufacturers Suffer Seriously, and Their Loss Will Be Some- thing Enormous. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 6—2:30 A. . Shortly before 2 o’clock this morning a fire was discovered in the six-story bricl building, 3, 5 and 7 Laight street, ran- | ning through to York street. The first | floor and basement are occupied by the Garvin Machine Company and the Radam | Microbe-killer Company. The upper floors are tenanted by Bernard, Ulman & Co., manufacturers of notions.

Hawley Says the Nation Is in No Condition to Enter a Conflict With Europeans. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5—In the Senate to-day the conference report on the Cuban resolutions was presented by Sherman (R.) of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, the re- port being that the Senate recede from its disagreement to the House resolutions and agree to them as a substitute for its own resolutions. The report was made a special order for Monday next at 2 o’clock. The full text of the concurrent resolution is as follows: Resolved, By the Senate, the House of Repre- sentatives coneurring therein, that in the opinion of Cougress a state of public war exists in Cuba, the parties to which are entitled to belligerent rights, and the United States should observe a strict neutrality between the belligerents. Resolved, That Congress deplores the destruc- tion of life and property caused by the war now waging in that island, and believing that the only permanent solution of the contest, equally in the interests of Spain, the people of | Cuba and other nations, would be in the estab- lishment of & government by the choice of the people of Cubg, it is the sense of Congress that the Government of the United Scates should use its good offices and friendly influence to that end. Resolved, That the United States has not in- tervened in the struggles between any Eu- ropean Governments and their colonies on this continent, but from the very close relations between the people of the United States and those of Cuba, in consequence of its proximity and the extent of commerce between the two peoples, the present war is enteiling such losses upon the people of the United States that Congress 18 of the opinion that the Gov- ernment ox <he United States should be pre- pared to protect the legitimate interests of our citizens by intervention, if necessary. Iu a brief discussion that took place while the report was before the Senate, Chandler (R.) of New Hampshire said that | in his judgment the resolutions were not sirong enough, and that he was in favor of action for the recognition and mainte- nance by the United States of the inde- dependence of Cuba “at the risk of war with Spain.”’ Hawley (R.) of Connecticut, who had voted for the Senate resolutions, intimated that there were considerations which should make Senators stop and think be- fore voting. The United States, he said, had exposed itself to unfriendly criticisms in Europe and it was within the bounds of possibility that this country would find | itself involved in war, not with one nation, but with more than one. He ridiculed the talk about an American army of five or ten miliions, and asked what those men | would do without coast defenses. Would they march down to the sandy beach of New Jersey and offer themselves as food for the enemy’s cannon? They could do nothing else. During the morning business Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska introduced a joint resdlution authorizing the President of the United States to issue a proclamation recognizing the political independence of | Cuba and asked unanimous consent to submit some observations at this time. “Let it yo over,” Hale (R.) of Maine in- terposed. The Vice-President asked whether there was any objection to Allen’s request. Hale did not object, but hoped that the | Senator from Nebraska would not ask unanimous consent unless there was some | distinctively good reasor why he should submit remarks at this time. Allen warned Hale that if he objected there would be no unanimous consent for anything Hale brought in this session. A spirited colloquy, participated in by i Allen, Chandler (R.) of New Hampshire Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio—I move to strike | bly a total loss. Rough estimates place { and Hale, followed. out the last two words, Mr. Chairman. Sulzer—I object, as there is another amendment pending. The chairman—The other amendment has been withdrawn. tichardson (D.) of Tennessee—The gen- | tleman cannot withdraw it without unani- mous consent. Sulzer—Can a gentleman withdraw an amendment with unanimous consent? 1 object. The chairman—To what does the gen- tleman object? Sulzer—I object to the gentleman pro- ceeding. He is out of order. Grosvenor—He is not going to proceed out of order, I can assure the gentleman, [Langhter.] The chairman—The chair has said that debate is in order. Grosvenor—I think. eir, that mv friend from Montana (Hartman) overlooks one very important fact. When we get on our feetina deep religious frame of mind [Iaughter] and it is a new field—when we are plowing in virgin soil, as it were— [Laughter.] Sulzer—I raise the point of order that the gentleman is out of order, because the other day on this floor he said that he had no religion. [Laughter.] Having no re- ligion himself, I submit that he is incom- petent to discuss the question of the re- ligion of any other man. Grosvenor—I never eaid that I had not any religion; but I would rather be with- outa very large modicum of religion than without the slightest intimation of com- ~mon-sense. [Laughbter.] Sulzer—I am sorry for a gentleman who has neither. Grosvenor—It is when 2 gentleman such a knowiedge of his own fail- ures that he constantly advertises them to the public.

L T i SOUTH HOLLAND’S LOSS. | Destruction of the Town of Asperon by Fire. AMSTERDAM, HoLLaNp, March 5.—A conflagration started last night in the smali town of Asperon, South Holland, A strong wind was blowing which aided rendered fruitless the efforts to extinguish the fire. The greater part of the town has been destroyed and it is probable that the fire will not be extinguished until the whole place is cestroyed. A large num- ber of cattle have been burned to death. So far a3 known at present no human be- ings have lost their lives, e FIRE AT SNELLING. Hardware-Store and Barber-Shop De- stroyed, Loss $6000. SNELLING, CaL., March 5.—The hard- ware-store of H. H. Herron, together with an adjoining barbergshop, was destroyed by fire last night. The excellent work of the fire brigade prevented the destruction of the greater portion of the town, which was at one time seriously threatened. The total loss will amount to $6000, with 50 per cent insurance. The origin of the blaze 1s unknown. e Business Houses Burned. DALLAS, Tex., M arch 5—The business portion of the town of Kinney was visited by a disastrous conflagration this mgrning, which did damage amounting to about $250,000. The Jesse Bhain blocx was totally destroyed. The block was occupied by the Kentucky Btore, Lewis & Ditto’s grocery, Targent’s bookstore and several smaller concerns. e Fraud and Mismanagement. CHICAGO, ILL., March 5.—In the Cir. cuit Court this morning Orrin F. Plabe filed a petition for the appointment ot a receiver for the Crowned King Mining Company, which owns property in the Bradsbaw Basin, in Yavapai County, esti- mated to be worth from $750,000 to $1,000,000. The complaint alleges mis- management and fraudulent transactions involving the misappropriation of more than $300,000, which should have gone as Richardson (D.) of Tennessee—I Lelieve | dividends to tbe stockholders. “lcould have delivered my speech in two minutes,’”” Allen finally remarked, with an air of disgust. “I now withdraw my request for unanimous consent.” Sherman (R.) of Ohio, chairman of the | Committee on Foreign Relations, present- ed the conference report on the Cuban | concurrent resolutions. The report is that “the Senate recede from its disagreement to the-amendment of the House, and agree to the same.” Hale (R.) of Maine inquired whether it was Sherman’s purpose to have immediate action.on the report. Sherman disclaimed any desire to force the report through to-day if Senators de- sired to debate it- He had no objection to the report going over, and he suggested that it be made the special order for-2 o'clock on Monday next. After further debate by Call (D.) of Florida ana Hawley (R.) of Connecticut Sherman’s proposition was agreed to, and the conference report was made the special order for 2 o’clock on Monday next. During the -proceedings in the House early in the day the Senate’s request for a conferénce on the Cuban resolutions was agreed to, and Speaker Reed announced Hitt, Adams and McCreary as managers on the part of the House. ———— ROUTINE OF THE SENATE. Postponement of the Seating of Dupont of Maryland. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5.—In the Senate to-day Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, continued and finished the argument begun by him yesterday in sup- port of the committee’s report declaring Henry A. Dupont elected Senator of the United States from the State of Delaware. The matter went over till Monday next, when Turpie (D.) of Indiana, representing the minority of the committee, is to pre- sent an argument on the opposite side of the question. Allen’s resolution declaring that United States bonds and legal tender notes are re- deemable in gold and silver coin went over until such time as he may desire action upon it. Hansbrough (R.) of North Dakota, cre- ating an art commission of the United States was taken up, but objection was made and the bill went over without final action, The Senate then proceeded to the pas- sage of unobjected biils on the calendar, and passed about tweaty-five of them. Among the bills passed was Senate bill to pay $48,858 to the heirs of the late Jokn Roach, for labor and material on the United States gunboat Dolphin. Also House bill to incorporate the Su- preme Council of the Thirty-third degree of Scottish rite Masonry for the southern Jurisdiction of the United States.

DRAINAGE Captain Gi OF THE VA4LLEY. ltette on Navigation Along the | Sacramento Eiver, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5.—The Secretary of War submitted to the House in response te a resolution a letter from Chief Engineer Craighill transmitting the report of Captain C. E. Gillette on the sur- vey made of the Steamboat channel, and from the junction thereof with the Sacra- mento River to the mouth. The river and harbor act of 1894 provides for this pre- | liminary examination with a view to the | improvement and enlargement of the | navigable channel and to increase the | capacity for flood discharge. | Captain Gillette considers that ag far as | navigation is concerned Steamboat Slougn {is not worthy of improvement by the | United States, which opinion is concurred | | in by the division engineer, Colonel Suter, | and by the chief of engineers. Respecting the incapacity for flood dis- charge, Captain Gillette gives a resume of | the exisung conditions and of the commdi- | cation connected with the problem which involves the entire drainage of the Sacra- | mento River Valley, and he states that the problem is one that concerns the United States, in that a solution adopted for drain- | age might be injurious to navigation, or that works for navigation might be injue rious to drainage, or the questions might be solved separately at a cost greatly in excess of the amount required. He considers, therefore, that further ex- aminations and surveys and accumulation | | of information will be necessary, and is of | the opinion that these investigations will cost $8000. Sl e PROFESSOk RISING NAMED. i May Be OUne of the Delegates to the | Chemistry Congreas. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5.— Through the efforts of Senator Perkins | H. W.

He has requested | | the Assistant Secretary to urge that the | | appropriation be made. The name of Pro- | | fessor Rising of the University of Cali- fornia has been mentioned in connection | | with one of these appointments. EEr Ty CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE.

THE VALUE OF SIGHT, A Millionaire’s Offer to the Man Who Can Cause the Blind to See. Will Give $1,000,000 to Anyone Who Restores to Him the Use of His Eyes. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 5.—*'I will give $1,000,000 to any man who will re- store to me my eyesight. I will walk out of the store and hand him the key: So said Charles Broadway Rouss, a multi-millionaire, in the office of his ten- story granite building at 551 Broadway to- day. Mr. Rouss’ eyes had been failing for some time, and day by day it was with greater difficulty that he could distinguish objects. To-day he declared they had al- most totally failed him. “The only thing visible to me,” he said, ‘‘are the huge pillars. Ican just discern the hazy outlines of two,” pointing to the supports immediately before him. “Iam ingtotal darkness, yet, as I still see a light mist. But my doctors say that in a short time all will be night.” He is paying +the' penalty of twenty years of overwork. Mr. Rouss, whose for- tune is roughly estimated at $10,000,000, is now 60 years old. He was born in Woods- boro, Frederick County, Md,, fought under *‘Stonewall Jackson, and the wi came to New York penniless. A goodly rtion of the fortune he amassed has D spent in benefactions. PROTECTED BY THE RUSSIANS, European Hands and Brains Engineered the Korean Coup d’Etat. THE KING IN THE PLOT. With the Crown Prince He Entered the Legation and Issued Decrees. TWO MINISTERS ASSASSINATED These Peculiar Acts of Murder and Diplomacy to Cause Trouble for Japan. TOKIO, Jarax, Feb. 18.—The coup d'etat in the Korean capital on the 11th ot Febru- ary'was the most carefully planned and thorough affair of the kina that has taken place in that peculiarly restless country for many years. Itis impossible to sup- pose that its direction was Korean. European hands and European brains must have played a chief part. There is no longer any doubt that the first act of the drama was the provincial emeute of January. Diligently represented asa mere popular outbreak, due to the people’s un- willingness to obey the Government’s hair- cutting edict, the uprisings throughout the country are now seen to have been planned for the purpose of drawing the troops away from the capital, and thus leaving the coast clear for the conspirators. So quietly and craftily were all the prepara- tions made that not the smallest indica- tion of what was in progress reached the Cabinet Ministers or the Japanese lega- tion. Broadly speaking, it was an anti-pro- gressive coup, having for 1ts leader Kim Pvong-si, the head of the Conservative party. The King was easily persuaded to associate himself with the affair, on the ground that full vengeance would be wreaked on every one connected with the murder of the Queen. The Russian Charge d’Affaires also must have been fully cog- nizant of the conspiracy, and must have promised to further it by protecting the King. During the night of Febrnary 10 a de- tachment of 112 Russian marines, carrying with them a field piece, entered Seoul. They bad marched up from Chemufpo, having landed from two Russian men-of- war dispatcled there a week previously. There was no ostensible reason for the comingof these soldiers. Everything, so far as could be seen, was periectly tranquil 1 Seoul. But within a few hours of their arrival at the legation the conspiracy culminated. The King and the Crown Prince pro- ceeded to the Russian legation. Secure in that asylum, now strongly guarded, his Majesty issued a proclamation declaring that the country being perpetaally dis- turbed by treacherous rebels, noihing re- mained but to seek the protection of the foreign representatives. He aiso directed that seven prominent statesmen, leaders of the Party of Progress, be decapitated and their heads exposed. Meanwhile, orders had been secretly issued for the ar- rest and assassination of the Minister President, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Home Affairs and the Minister of War. ‘The first two, suspecting nothing, were seized without difficalty and decapitated immediately in front of the police head- quarters,w hence their bodies were dragged through the streets and finally burned out- side the city. The Minister of Home Affairs and the Minister of War seem to have effected their escape, but nothing is known as to their whereabouts. A new Cabinet was formed, the King issuing his mandates from the Russian legation, the compound of which was guarded, within by Russian marines, withont by Korean troops. As for the every-day life of the city, it suffered no disturbance. Oniy the leading politicians ot the kingdom were in- volved. Of the seven men whose decapitation was ordered by the King, two were already in Japan. How it fared with the rest re- mains to be discovered. Most significant was the action taken with respect to the provincial insurgents. The troops dis- patched against them by the former Cabi- net were immediately recalled; proclama- tion was made that the people’s true rea- son for revolt had been to avenge the mur- der of the Queen, and a general amnesty was announced. Thus, within a few hours, every adherent of the party of progress, that is to say, the pro-Japanese party, was driven from office, and the ad- ministration was placed in the hands of a Cabinet headed by Kim Pyong-si, the leader of the conservatives, and composed exclusively of anti-progressive, pro-Rus- sian politicians, the seat of Government being transferred from the palace to the Russian legation. Strange to say, not one of the proscribed politicians sought asylum in the Japanese legation or consulates. Neither was the coup d’etat accompanied by rioting or anti-foreign demonstrations; Russian co-operation averted anything of that kind. The news of these events caused much excitement in Japan. Unfortunately direct telegraphic communication between Seoul and Tokio was interrupted at the time. The line runs overiand from Seoul to Fusan, and thence by cable to Japan, Whenever an insurrection occurs in the southern districts of Korea one of the first acts of the rioters is to cut the telegraph. They had done so several days before the coup d’etat of the 11th of February. THencethe only means of communica- tion was by telegraphing first to Chemul- Ppo, and then effecting’ a junction with Fusan, 400 miles distant, by steamer. But as one steamer only happened to be avail. able at Chemulpo her departure with the first batch of telegrams created a break of several days in the chain of communica. tions. The House of Representatives in Tokio had desisted from its daily sessions until the 17th of February, being engaged in committee work solely. But when the opposition learned what had happened in Seoul, they thoughtthatthey saw a chance ot striking a fatal blow at the Cabinet. It is true that no accurate details of the Korean coup d’etat were yet to hand, but that did not seem to signify much. The House met on the 15th of February, and at once the opposition, by way of prelim- inary to introducing a resolution of want BRUSHES of confidence, began to address questions to the Government, accompanying them by speeches of a most uncompromising nature. Their chief contention was that whereas the war with China had been undertaken for the explicit purpose of securing RKorean independence, as definite- ly announced by the Mikado's reseript, Korea did not now enjoy any semblance of independence, her King and Crown Prince being lodged in the Russian lega- tion under the guard of Russiau soldiers, | and her Cabinet Ministers holding their conferences under the shadow of the Rus- sian flag. It was plain that ii the debate continued and if the resolution of want of confidence | were introduced, the language of the oppo- sition politicians might very gravely com- | promise the empire’'s foreign reldtions. Accordingly, just as one of the most de- nunciatory orators was approaching the peroration of his speech, an; imperial re- script was handed to the President, sus- | vending the Diet's session for ten days. By the expiration of that period calmer counsels will probably have prevai and, at all events, full information will available. STUCK FAST 1 The Colombiam Cruiser Cordova Meets With a Mishap. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 5.—A special to the tribune from Perth Amboy, N. says: . While returning from a trial trip outside of Sandy Hook this evening, the new Colombian cruiser Cordova, which has just been fittea out at Ramsay’s ship- vard, ran aground in Princess Bay, off the Mount Loretta Mission. Besides the crew there were forty guests on board. The vessel’s lifeboats were lowered and the guests landed at the Mount Loretta wharf. The Cordova is only two or three feet in the mud, and it is believed that she will float easily at high tide. It isex- pecied that she will sail for Colon on Sat- urday. THE MUD.

World® Dunraven’s Expulsion. LONDON, Ex6., March 5.—1n its current on issue the Yachting World accused the |* New York Yacht Club of having shown |t vindictiveness in the expulsion from mem. bership in the organization of Lord Dun- raven when 1t was well aware that his | Lordship had written and mailed to the club his resignation. The Yacbting World expects, it says, that the yacht societies of Great Britain will express their opinion of the action of the New York club in no minced lan- guage, and insists that the Royal Yacht Squadron, as backers of Lord Sunraven's challenge jor the America’s cup, are bound to take action in the matter.
