tirfed to Almiro. What was left of the
right wing came toward Volo, broken

the mountains was almost as bad as th
paiiic which resulted in the change of

says: ''The news of the retreat from
Pharsalbs was at first received with con

the retreat from Dottiokos as a strategic

General Smolenski has vindicated the

is untarnished. But while all
this is so, the old bellicose

length in the Senate. For the first time
since the de"ba:e began opposition sen

and White, of California, speaking
against it, while Turpie of Indiana,
supported it. Chander, Republican,
of New Hampshire, from the committee

the twelfth census. Hale, in his long
argument against Morgan's resolutibn,
said its object was to prevent Spain
from making a loan and thus prevent
her from putting do-n the insurrec
tion. Tcesdat. The Cujoan question oc
cupied the entire attention of the Sen
ate, the debate taking a large range,
and at times becoming spirited, when
comparisons were made between the
attitude of the former administration
and the present on the subject of Cuba.,
The debate wentover until Wednesday.
During the day Senator Kyle, Populist,
af South Dakota, rising to a question
of privileges, disclaimed having sought

HOUSE.
Thursday. The House adopted a
resolution for bi-weekly sessions to be
held on Mondays ami Thursdays until
further action. The Democrats and
Populists allied against it, and Bailey,
of Texas, says that its only aim was to

Monday. The House resumed the,
transaction of public business, and
entered upon the. consideration of the

the debate under tjbe five minute rule,

Senate amendment to restore the lands
reserved as forest reservations under
President Cleveland's order of Febru

Western members generally supported
the Senate proposition.
Tuesday. The most interesting de
bate was on the appropriation of $50, -000
to improve Pearl Harbor, in the
Hawaiian Islands, which was rejected
by a vote of 85 to 55'. ; Hitt, of Illinois,
wanted the government to take steps to
confirm its title, saving without it as a

Resignations of the Chancellor an
Minister of Foreign Affairs In tbj
Hands of the Emperors
Berlin, May 8. -(By Cable)Througl
out the week the entire preas has beej
full of rumors of a cabinet crisis an
the wildest and most conflicting state,
ments have been published on the sub
ject. The Associated Press learns oft
reliable authority that the facts in the
case are as follows: f.
The resignation of the imperial chant
cellor, Prince Hohenlohe, and the mirvv
ister for foreign affairs, Baron Mar
chall Von Bieberstein, have been in the
hands of the Emperor for weeks, but
no action has been taken yet. On V ed?
nesday his majesty had a long conveif
sation with Prince Hohenlohe and late?;
he received Baron Marschall Von Biebf
erstein. On this occasion, the foreign
domestic and political situation wai
discussed. Regarding, the internal
troubles, the Prussian law of assocnv
tions nd the military trial .bills were
discusstd, but no agreement wait
reached. The Emperor also spoke of
the determined opposition of the policy .
of Baron Marschall Von Bieberstem
upon the part of the Agrarians, the
Conservatives and oven the National
Liberals, and quoted the interpellation
of the government on the subject of the.
Dingley bill in support of his remarks,.
Just for the moment it is certain the
present cabinet will retain their postsj
Both Prince Hohenlohe and Baron
Marschall Von Bieberstein will wait fo
an opportune moment to press theit
resignations. f
The Dinfflev bill debatein the reich
stag has attracted much attentioii
throughout the empue and the news
papers are full of it. The whole Agrarl
ian party still urges the government t
declare a tariff war against the United
States before or immediately after the
Dingley bill becomes law. Even &
considerable portion of the industrial;
classes of Germany favor such a plaru-
The government has received memory
ials from the chambers of commerce
of Dusseldorf, Crefeld, Aixla-Chapv
pelle and Mayence protesting against
the Dingley bill and urging retaliation
The government, however, will nof;
yield to this passage and especially ai
it is doubtful whether the reichsta v
will sanction such a violent policy, th ,
Centre being thus far non-committa
and the Liberals, Radicals and Socialist)
being opposed to any tariff war with th
