After bor- ing a hole in the window the bullet flat- tened itself against the wall and fell to the floor, where it was picked up. Syl- vester had just retired for the night when the shot was fired. He arose and made an investigation, but was unable to find any traces of the man behind the gun. The bedroom is on the second floor nf the dwelling, and it was the top window light that was broken. The bullet mark on the wall is on a line with the hole in the -window light, which indicates that the shot was fired from some place on a level with the bedroom window. There are only two or three houses of that beight in the vicinity, and it is supposed the bullet came from one of these. The policeman was taken off his beat on O'Farrell_street yesterday afternoon and given a special detail to investigate the if _possible the ty of the person who fired the shot, ylvester is not popular with “de gang’ in the neighborhood where he lives.

It is feared | the strike will next extend to Seville and Verona and a Ministerial crisis it not an unlikely outcome of the trouble. It tran: pires that last Sunday several work- men’s meetings were held in Barcelona.‘ The principal meeting was held at the Circo Espanol and was attended by 6000 persons. Teresa Claramunt, the notorious agitator Bonfulla and other anarchists made violent speeches at this meeting in favor of a general strike. This idea was instantly adopted#and the intervention of the Government agents, who always at- tend such meetings, was openly spurned. TRUTH IS SUPPRESSED. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Senor Robert, Deputy from the province of Catalonia, interpellated the Govern- ment on the recent events at Barcelona. Tutuila Is Domestic Territory.

Plans of the President Made Public to Prevent Pos- sible Panic. Administration Has No Present In- tention of Making General War Upon All the Great Indus- : trial Combinations. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Attorney General Knox's announcement that, act- ing on the President's request, he was preparing papers in the suit to be brought against the Northern Securities Company !in the United States Court, caused almgst as much commotion in Congressional and official circles as it did in Wall street. ‘The public announcement was made on the advice of the Prgsident to prevent any great disturbance in values on the stock exchanges, which was feared if it came in some other way. It was ex- Pplained that the Supreme Court of the United States is expected to deliver a de- cision on the appucation of the Attorney neral of the State of Minnesota at an early date. This daecision may be ren- dered on Monday. The court may grant the appiicaticn, or, which is more likely, it may aeny the application and declare a lack of jurisdiction. Such a decision or- dinarily would have the effect of “boost- ing stocks.” But this will not happen now in view-of the fact that the intention of the administration to break up this com- bination if it can, whether the Minnesota appeal is denfed or not, will put the pub- lic on its guard and prevent any big rise in the stock, followed by what otherwise might have been a panicky decline should the intention of the Government have been withheld until the Government's suit was actually brought. The Call this morning accurately stated the position of the President. It was sald to-day that the announcement of the intention of the Government to bring a suit was based on inside information. that the Supreme Court of the Untted States would throw out the Minnesota case. This is largely guess work. What prompted the Government's action was Trather a feeling that the Northern Securities merger could best be reached, even if Minnesota went on, by means of proceedings taken through the Department of Justice and on the At~ torney General’s own Initiative. Criminal Proceedings May Follow. The President rather felt that if there was to be a prosecution it ought to be conducted under the laws of the United States and by means of United States officials. It can further be stated that if the bill in the equity proceedings now | contemplated by Attorney General Knox is successful in establishing the facts, under the Sherman anti-trust law, that the merger is a ‘‘contract, combination in the form of a trust, or otherwise, or a conspiracy in the restraint of trade or commerce among the several States,” and if it shall be shown that the persons en- gaged in the merger are “monopolizing or attempting to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce between the several States,” criminal proceedings in the United States court will follow. The facts indicated in quotation marks above must be shown under the Sherman anti-trust law: before such criminal proceedings can be taken.

B 'he Minister of the Interior, Senor Gon- 'Zlales. replying in behalf of the Govern- ment, accepted full respensibility there- for. Romero Robledo, supporting Senor Robert, said the Government did not have enough guns and rifles to suppress a £o0- cial revolution if one broke out every- where. Senor Robledo denounced the censorship over telegraphic news from Barcelona and insisted that the fact that Senor Sagasta, President of the Coun- | cil, repudiated any desire to suppress the truth concerning cvents at Barcelona. He declared the Ggvernment sought time to solve the social"problems and appealed to the good will of the Deputies to assist the Government in this task. - After renewed attacks by Senor Robledo the debate was adjourned. In_the Senate to-day General Weyler, the Minister of War, said that while the situation at Barcelona had not yet im- proved, it had not grown worse. He said the street service there was partially in operation and that the bakeries and | oceries were open in spite of the strike. | here had been no disturbances at Sara- gossa and Rets. At Castellon de la Plana, | the War Minister said, the gendarmes had | dispersed groups of strikers and if it be- | came necessary he would call out the First Reserves. FOR MARTIAL LAW. Premier Sagasta is said to be preparing a decree establishing martial law through- out Spain. The signature of the decree, it is believed, will be followed by an ex- treme national crisis. It was persistently sald that when the Chamber of Deputles closed the Minister of War, General Weyler, had a long con- ference with the Queen Refent. followed by a conference with the military authori- tles. Afterward, it is asserted, arms and ball cartridges 'were served .out to the troops in Madrid, who are in readiness to start at a moment’s notice. BARCELONA, Feb. 20.—The strikers to- day mardered three workmen who wished to resume work. The proprietor of a bak- ery who raised the price of bread was algo killed. It is hourly becoming more apparent that anarchists are the prime movers in the incipient revolution. The | markets are wlthnrgt provisions and the strikers are preverking the slaughter of . animals. Additional reinforcements of troops are arriving here. } A mob stormed the arsenal at Sabadell, | not far from Barcelona, and secured forty | rifies, but they were subsequently recov- ered by the troops. Fresh fighting between the troodpl rioters has occurred at Tarrasa and S: dell. Most of the ships in this bave been forced to leave withou! charging their cargoes.

SWIMMER BREWER SECURES MORE WORLD'S RECORDS The Seven-Hundred Yard Mark Has Stood for Six Years in the Name of an Englishman. CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Howard F. Brewer, the Pacific Coast swimmer, broke three | more American middle-distance records at the sportsman’s show to-night. In the 800-yard race against Fred Wie- land of the Central Y. M. C. A. and Fred | Wenck of Yale University, he lowered the refiords for 700 and 800 yards and the half- mile, He made the 700 yards in 10:02 3-5, beat. ing the record of 11:04 4-5, which was held by Stanley B.

He covered the 800 yards in 11:31 1-5, clipping one minute and forty-four seconds off the | record, which was also held by French, and_defeated Wieland, who was second. h{ fifty yards. Wenck was ten yards be- hind Wieland. After beating the record for 800 yards Brewer continued in fl% ef- fort to smash the half-mile mark of 12:45 2-5, which was held by himself.'

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Makes Nerve Fibre and Nerve Force, Cleanses the Blood and Strengthens and Gives Tone to Every Function of . “As a medicine for doing immediate and effective work in sickness, result- ing from impaired nerves and impu blood my family considers your Paine Celery Compound without a peery” “It strengthens and gives tone to the sys- tem.” “It has saved many a doctor’s bil.” So writes J. J. Donahue, Chief of Police of Omaha, to the propfletol:s of this never-failing remedy. FPain2's Celery Compound makes nerve fiber and nerve force, and imparts true health to body and brain. It is the only known positive cure for nervous prostration, resulting from business responsibilities, irregular habits and overwork. Paine's Celery Compound is the one great remedy for dyspepsia and weak nerves. Dyspepsia is caused by acute [inflammation of the nerves centered about-the stomach. Palpitation of the heart, dizziness, cardialgia and dis- tention of the stomach are common in dyspepsia. Languor and irresistible drowsiness are certain symptoms. Paine’s Celery Compound keeps the muscular walls of the stomach in vig- orous action until the process of digestion is made complete. It re- stores energy. gives remewed vigor | to all affected parts, checks dizziness and allays heartburn. It is a safe and reliable cure for nervous dyspepsia. Paine’s Celery Compound will build up weakened and inflamed nerves, keep the stomach, liver and kidneys in healthy action, and make mind and body healthy. It is the greatest reconstructant of the nervous system known to medical science. It perma- nently cures nervous exhaustion. It is particularly efficacious in all cases where the afflicted are ‘“worn our” and “run down.” If you have the first symptom of failing health, if you are consclous that something is wrong, that you | lack strength, if the buoyant feeling of perfect health does not return after each night’s sleep, it is time to give the | nerves and blood the food that nature requires. Paine’s Celery Compound Is rightly called nature’s medicine. Medi- cal sclence has failed to produce its equal as a nerve tonic and vitalizer. It purifies the blood, restores to healthy action every function, remedies depres- sion and languor, strengthens the kid- to-day, has positively no present inten- tion of making a general war upon che great industrial combinations like the steel trust and kindred corporations. The President frankly admits that there Is much that may be good in the combina- tions that have grown up out of our vast industrial development. He has said that there may be much that is bad if these combinations become unmindful of their duty to the public. His remedy is puo- licity, which he advocated with such force in his message. He wants that tested be- fore he thinks of shooting Niagara by an attack on the whole industrial system. There has been a discussion here to-day as to whether under the present law the United States can succeed in breaking up the Northern Securities combination. Most lawyers are willing to take the| opinion of the Attorney General that under the Sherman act the combination is “clearly illegal.” On the other hand it is pointed out that this is entirely a new form of combina- tion of which there has been no decision by the Supereme Court. In the Addystone Company pipe case the Supreme Court e‘l;oke up the combination of manufac- rers in which each concern retained its identity, but who made am agreement to restrict trade, raise prices and destroy competition. No Precedent for Present Case. In the: case of the trans-Missour Freight Assoclation the court held that the numerous railroads which entered into an agreement to maintain the rates on all frelght traffic were violating the law, because the contracts were in re- straint of trade. On the other hand, the court held in the case of the E. C. Knight Sugar Refining Company, swhich was bought up by the sugar trust, that the sugar trust could buy up all the refineries in the country, because the regulation of commerce applied to the ‘“subjects of commerce,” and not to matters of inter- nal policy. The court failed to see thas | there was any restraint of ‘“commerce" in restraining the production. All _thesa cases differ from the present one. In the present contention the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads have not con- solidated, One has not bought out the | other. But the controlling interests in both have been vested in an entirely inde- pendent company formed for the purpo: of taking over the properties. It is held | pense of the Senators. by some lawyers that the court must de- the Body. ; neys to perform properly their work, allays indigestion and gives tone to the whole system. The remarkable increase in the de- mand for Paine's Celery Compound in the last few years is due to the one fact that every person who has ever tried a single bottle of this greatest of restoratives has found that the remedy accomplishes what no other remedy does. It accomplishes all that is claim- ed for it. A sample trial will convince the reader. e ——— cide that this is a matter which courts have nothing to do with. Others agree with Attorney General Knox that the Yery formation of the Northern Securities Company to control these two roads is & combination and must necessarily be In restraint of trade and interstate com- merce. According to & lawyer who has in the service of the Government had much to do with Investigating railroad rates and rallroad combinations the Government will, In the end, be absolutely powerless to break up the Northern Securities com- bination unless there be a further amend- ment of the law. It became clear to-day that the discussion of the matter precipi- tated by the announcement of the Attor- ney General will lead to a very earnest effort to get immediate action in Con- gress. The statement was positively made that the Judiclary Committee of the House would report favorably once more the bill passed by the last House to amend the Sherman anti-trus® law. This bill was very far-reaching its scope and was one of the great bugbears of the interests centered in Wall street in the Fifty-sixth Congress. Defects in the Sherman Act. It was designed to meet all the defects that experience had shown the Sherman act to possess, in order to reach the trusts and combinations and punish them and also to give persons recourse in the courts for damages they might sustain in being crushed out of business. This law passeq the House with but one dissenting vote. It was defeated in the Senate by the very irterests that are now about to be pro- ceeded against by the Attorney Genera) It is quite probable that there will be an effort to prevent the passage of this bil} in the House, because the Senate clatmed a year ago that the bill was passed I the spirit of buncombe and for the pur. pose of giving the members of Congress popularity in the fall elections at the e The House will Y _shortly a bl ent’s ideas as also have before it ver: carrying out the Presta e publicity of trusts and th i dustrial combinations.
