B01IBS FOR CATHOLIC CHURCHES. Tfcej Always Explode lj Mere Contact With the Holy Water. ME DETOUT TEPrERED BI PET1KDS Madrid, April 14. The Anarchist Munoz was again examined yesterday when he gave v ery minute details regarding the manufacture of bombs like those found in the Cortes, which ignite on contact with water. lie admitted that it was his inten tion to place Euch bombs in the holy water basins in the various churches. Munoz ac companied a magistrate and other officials to an open spot, where experiments were made which convinced the officials of the truth of the prisoner's statements. The optimistic view taken of the Anarchist situation here, and the belief that the prompt action of the authorities would pre lentthe committal ot further outrages of that character,, has received a severe set back. It appears now that, after the arrest of Dclboche, Ferreira and Munoz, the Anarchists temporarily relapsed into quietude, but they have again resumed their work in diflerent parts of the country. It would naturally be supposed that all their attempts would be directed asrainst those in authority, but it appears that with Wind and unreasoning maiienancv they only desire to kill for the sake of killing, nnd'not bring about a change in the exist ing form ot government. Petards Thrown Into a Procession. An illustration of this was given to-day at Cadiz. Like all Spanish cities, Cadiz has been closely observing Holy Week. To-dav bein;: Holy Thursdav, there was a public procession of worshipers, the priests bearing religious emblems and relics. A considerable crowd watched the procession ists as they passed all along the streets, a great majority of the bystanders bowing reverently a the religious emblems were carried past them. Everybody in the procession was passing Flowly along without the least thought of. danger when suddenly two men in the crowd of onlookers threw two petards directly into the procession. Those in line were panic Etrickcn and fled in every direction. The bystanders were also terribly frightened and sought safety in flight. In the contusion and rushing the villains who threw the petards made their escape, nml there is not the slightest clew to their identity. A number ot the processionists Mere more or less injured by the explosion, but lortunatelv nobodv was" killed. Many of the people returned to the church from nhich the procession originally cam and offered up thanks for their escape from Jcatli. Authorities Are Mot to Blame. The people are deeply indignant at this latest outrage. The police cannot be blamed for any laxity, for no one dreamed that spe cial precautions would be necessary to pre--ront an attack upon a religious procession. These processions are features in all Span ish cities, particularly during Holy Week, ind seldom heretofore has any trouble oc curred through them. Every effort will'be made to capture the miscreants, and if they are caueht thev will undoubtedly spend the remainder of their lives in penal servitude. Another bomb was exploded in Valencia to-dav, presumably by Anarchists. JUucli damage was done to property, and the peo ple are in a state ot terror. Owing to the Anarchist agitation which lias caused a general feeling of uneasiness the elaborate Holy Week ceremonies in Madrid hae been poorly attended. The many threats that have been made to de stroy the places of worship, and the confes sion of Munoz, who said it was his inten tion to place in the holy water fonts a cer tain substance that uould explode after short contact with water, havesolrightened the churchgoers that they have remained at Lome. The Socialists and the workinsmen's as sociations are divided in regard to the ar rangements lor the May Day celebration. It is not expected that the celebration in this city will be.very imposing. Arrests Slade IMht and Left. The police authorities are very active in consequence of the circular letter recently sent to them by the Minister of Justice, and a large number ot persons supposed to be directly or indirectly implicated in dyna mite plots have been arrested. Many of the arrests hae been made in Cadiz and "Valencia. The authorities here continue to receive letters threatening to kill them and destroy property, but little attention is paid to them. Every possible precaution has been taken to prevent outrages, and every suspected Anaichist is closely watched. A cable dispatch from Paris says: The ma;istrate before whom the matter had been brought has decided that there is no case ngainst Gustav Mathieu, the alleced accom plice of the Anarchist Eavachol, and the warrants which were issued against Mathieu have accordinelv been annulled. Le Soir sys that Kavachol's relatives have been shonn a photograph of the man taken in prison and that they deny his identity. ropeans, Including several Huns, and that he has taken them to Abomey, his capital, where he will hold them in the event of an attack by the "French. ENGLAND STILL WATCHFUL. The British Diplomatic Agent In Cairo In sists That E-ypt's Bights Be Not Sacri ficed Under Cover of the Saltan's Fir man The Investiture Ceremony. Caiko, April 14. The ceremony to-day of the investiture of the Khedive was cel ebrated with much pomp. All the British and Egyptian troops were massed in Abdin Square, fronting the palace. Tribunes had been erected on the sides of the square, and these were filled with officials and others. The Khedive and his Min isters assembled on a dais in front of the palace, where they received Amed Eyoub Pasha, who arrived at 10 o'clock, accompanied by a brilliant escort of cavalry. The firman of investiture was read by an of ficial, who also read a telegram from the Sultan conferring upon the Khedive the ad ministration of the Sinai Peninsula. Upon the conclusion of the reading, the assem bled troops thrice saluted the Sultan. The communications between Sir Evelyn Baring, the British Diplomatic Agent, and Tierane Pasha, Egyptian. Minister of Foreign Affairs, regarding the Sultan's firman, have been published. Sir Evelyn first wrote to Tigrane Pasha, enelosing a copy of the firman received from Con stantinople. In this letter Sir Eve lyn calls attention to the changes regarding the Sinai Peninsula, and asks whether Egypt had received any ex planations from the Porte in recard to these changes. On April 13, Tyjrane Pasha replied to this letter enclosing'a telegram from fhe Turkish Grand Vizier conferring the administration of the Sinai Peninsula upon the Khedive, and inform ing Sir Evelyn that the telegram was en tirely satisfactory to the Khedive. To this communication Sir Evelyn replied that the firman could not be changed without the assent of England, who agreed to the defini tion of the boundary contained In the fir man as supplemented by the Grand Vizier's telegram, which England regarded as part of the firman. Sir Evelyn added that he ex pected that both the firman and the tele gram would be promulgated together. His note concluded with the statement that England could not admit that Egypt's ex isting territory rights or claims were affected by changes in the language of the firman. Sir Evelyn requested that these communi cations be published simultaneously with the firman. GERMANY BABIDLY JEALOUS. She Can't Bear to See Americans Take Her Sonth American Trade Away. Berlin; April 14. An incident which has just occuned her'e is indicative of the growing German jealousy of American in fluence in Spanish-American commercial affairs. Germany, after long continued efforts, at last succeeded in the attempt to coerce the Government of San Domingo in the granting to her the. same commercial privileges as those enjoyed by the United States. Mr. Phelps, the American Minister to Germany, unofficially spoKe to Baron Mar Echall von Biberstein, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in favor of San Domin go, and the result was to call forth adverse criticism from the German press. The news papers, in their comments on the matter, construe the action of Minister Phelps into what they are pleased to term "American overbearance," and all the editorial utter ances are in a similar strain. The evening papers contain articles in which the subject is dealt with at considerable length, and in which there are many spiteful flings at the United States Government. Minister Phelps, in stating the object of his interview with Baron von Bibestein, as sured the Secretary that he came to him spontaneously and not by any instructions he had received from Washington. In pro testing against the action of the .German Government he said that it was ungenerous ior a great power like Germany to lorce a little country like San Domingo to con clude the treaties with the German Govern ment against the will of the United States Government. Baron v.on Bibestein, in ret ply, said ne was not aware that the United States Government exercised a protectorate for San Domingo, but that, nevertheless, Germany only claimed rights in regard to the matter in question which were already recognized.

Suits FIRES, FAILURES AND EA1LWAT NEWS Philadelphia, April 14. President Boberts emphatically denies the rumor that the Pennsylvania Railroad stock is to be listed in the New York'stock market. Dis cussing the general business of the Penn sylvania system, President Robert said to day that it had been good, though there was nothing exceptional to speak of. The iron and ore trade had been considerably de pressed for a long time. That industry had to be helped to some extent In the bituminous coal movement, the, tonnage had been up to fair expectations, and would, ap parently, continue so or better. He said: "We are going to build 7,000 new freight cars at a cost of about $4,000,000. We wlU make many track Improvements in the West. This side of Pittsburg, at least be tween Millersville and Middletown, we will build a double track and in many placee three tracks, and generally straighten the road." He could not say anything about the possi bility of "stock dividend." Nothing that concerned the declaring of a dividend was to be said until the very figuring determined it. He could indicate nothing in that di rection more than -the general business of the road would indicate to anyone. There was every prospect of continuing "good and increasing business.

Fox declares that Borrowe will have to retract his statement that he did not au thorize Fox to permit the publication of the correspondence with Drayton in The Dis patch, or there will be trouble.

A woman named Kruse, convicted of the murder of her hns band, and her elder son, Wilhelm, who was an accomplice in the murde'r, were executed at Dortmnnd to-day. The prisoners confessed the murder, say ing they were weary of keeping the victim because he was unfit for work. Wilhelm. being unable to walk, was partly carried to the scene of execution and sub mitted quietly. His neck having been bared, and the head having been adjusted on the block the executioner severed the head lrom the body with a single sweep of the ax. The corpse was then put in a coffin. The scaffold was immediately sluiced with water preparatory to the next execution, and when everything was ready the woman was led out. She walked firmly to the block and placed her head where she was told to, and in a few seconds the execu tioner had finished his ghastly work. The bodies were at once removed.

A Leg Was Cnt Off in a Mlnnte by the Famous Surgeon Ligton, FaU Mall Budget. It was in December, 184C, that the famous surgeon ListSmamputated a limb painlessly under ether at King's College Hospital, the anaesthetic having been administered by Dr. "William Squire, who is still in practice in London: Among those present on that occasion was Dr. (afterward Srr John) Forbes, the author 'of "A Physician's Holiday." He described to me that he never .felt so near to falling on the floor in all his life as he did when he witnessed the great surgeon Liston amputating a thigh while the patient was in deep sleep. - In those days, in order to save pain, the surgeon cultivated rapidity of action, and lucli an adept was Liston that he completed the removal of the limb withiu the minute. This, combined with tbe momentous results of the annihilation of pain, was the opuse of tne sensation expenenceu vy c oroes. xt was not fear, it was notfaintnessj it was an emotion painful, as he expressed it, irom its overwhelming surprise and pleasure. Every body seemed pale and silent except Liston, who was flushed and so breathless that when he broke the silence with the word "Gentlemen" he almost choked in its utter ance. .- ' Other hospitals soon 'followed suit, and the use of the ansesthetic became the order of the day.- A Monster Elephant ot Ceylon. The Ceylon Independent says that Mr. James Harrison, a Yorkshire gentleman, has re cently "had the good Juck" to kill one' of tho largest elephants ever obtained in Cey lon. The victim was a well-known charac ter in the Dambulla district, having been hunted aud fired at scores of times, but which hitherto had escaped. He is reported to have measured 10. lj at the shoulder, and if this be so he was indeed a monster. But it is not easy to take the shoulder measurement)! a dead elephant with the nicety required to insure accuracy within halt an inch, or even an inch and a half; and Land and Water would like to hear how the tape was applied before finally accept-, ing the height given.

D., April 14 A line was formed at the land office here about mid night last night, and this morning there was quite a long string, which is growing. The men have formed an organization and elected a President, who gives each man a number as they catch on, and they have all agreed to respect these numbers, so that a man can leave his place in the line to get his meals. Many of the men are afraid to trust to this, and have brought pro visions with them to last until Friday, as there is always a chance that the agreement may fall through and they may hare to take their place at the foot of the line. Most of them have purchased and have blankets wifh .them to make themselves comfortable to-night. The crowd is orderly and gopd-humored. The land office has not yet received any of ficial plan of the land,.and Receiver Davis yesterday sent a man to the Sisseton agency fter them.' He would have to ride all night from Brown's Valley, and then turn around and ride back in order to reach here in time. Getting a Tlew of the Promised Land. For a week past every train on the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Bailwav has been dropping offa few laud-seers at "Wau bay, S. D. The numbers havs increased the last four days. They come from both direc tions. Aberdeen has sent in large numbers, who reached there from the north, south and west, and Milbank on the east has sent in many from St. Paul, Minneapolis and Eastern States. Many settlers have come here in order to get the ride across the res ervation, as this has been the only way in which a view of the promised laud could be secured for two weeks past, owing to the orders of the Secretary and the soldiers. The same railroad has. a trainstauding at the depot ready to start for the'Xake Tra verse lands to-morrow morning. The road is just completed to a point in the most fer1 tile lands. More than 500 men are waiting to take passage on tbe first section of the train. The Movements of the Trains. The plan is to pull out of the depot here at 11:30 to-morrow and run to the line, a distance of six miles. Here a halt will be made until 12:30. At the given signal the train will pull out for the rich Lake Tra verse basin land to the north. At the end of the track the "Wilmot Land Company aud the White Beaver Town Site Company will .have wagons, buggies and conveyances of all kinds to take the set tlers to the exact claims. Two hundred and fifty passengers came in on the train from the East yesterday-and twice that number this morning. Trouble is feared at the time the train starts if all are not able to secure transportation. A dispatch from Brown's "Valley, Minn., says: The train from here this morning carried fully 100 men to Graceville, bound for Hankinson, Lidgerwood and points along the northern boundary line. A party of 40 went north to "White Rock. A party under the leadership of Oklahoma Charley are building a large flotilla on Lake Traverse, about seven miles north of the city. It is stated that he has a party of nearly 500 men, which he will conduct to the best lands to-morrow. Their scheme is said to be to put back to the middle of the. lake if surprised. Oklahoma Boomers on the Tip-Toe. A dispatch from Guthrie, O. T., savs: The news of the President's proclamation opening the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands to settlement Tuesday, the 19th insU, reached here late last night To-day un usual stir is manifested, as the numbers of boomers who have been waiting for the an nouncement are making their final prepara tions to move up to the front. Everything is now in readiness for the opening, and no more delay will occur. Very few of the thousands waitine to enter the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country have anything but the vaguest ideas as to the character of the country which they have looked upon as tbe promised land. Some of it is very fair farming soil, but most is poor. A few of the would-be set tlers, disgusted with the outlook, are leav ing, but their places are rapidly filled, and they are not missed. But few attempts to cross the dead lines are made. A newspa per correspondent made a trip into the country and found not a single "sooner." Near Darlington a small encampment of Arapahoes was found. These Indians are all believers in the coming of the Messiah. "Waggoner Beck, a military messenger who was met on his way from B Troop to Fort Reno, says the Cheyenncs held a big ghost dance near the proposed seat of "M" county Monday night. Five Thousand Strangers in Watertown. According to advices from "Watertown, S. D., train load after train load of land seek ers was landed here yesterday to swell the crowd that overflowed the town. Fully 5,000 strangers.spent the night in "Water town, crowding in every available space and sleeping in hallways, churches and impro vised sheds in the lumberyards. Hundreds were taken into the houses of citizens, and every effort was made to make all as com fortable as they could be in a down-pour of rain that is unprecedented in the history of Dakota. The line at the land office is constantly extending, many being comfortably shel tered in wood-package cases; but others with grim resolution brave the elements unprotected. Whenever conveyances can be obtained settlers are getting out along the line of the reservation, and many are getting temporary accommodations with farmers in the country. To-morrow morning the available troops will be deployed into a vidette line sur rounding the" reservation on its north and east boundaries. The bugle signal will open the firing, which will be carried along the line, each man firing one shot. At that instant there will be a helter-skelter race for the town site, 12 miles north and 10 miles west of Brown's Valley, Minn. CURING BY HYPNOTISM. ment From Archbishop Corrlgan. New Yoek, April 14. It was reported. yesterday that a special dispatch had been received by a Roman Catholic prelate in this city from Rome which gave an authen tic denial tojthe report by cable that the Pope, by a letter to Archbishop Ireland, had disapproved the criticism in the Roman news paper, the 'CivUta Cattolica, of tbe Faribault affair. Archbishop Corrigan told a Tribune reporter vestenlav that the dispatch con taining the denial had been received. He said that the Pope was always understood to sanction the criticisms of the Civi'ta Cattolica, as such articles were submitted to the Vatican for ap proval before publication. The Arch bishop thought that it was significant that the articles fn the CivUta on the subject had "gone on crescendo every number," which could hardly be understood it their tone were open to objection. Regarding the dis patch saying that the Pope had disapproved the criticisms, he said that all the cable dis patches from Rome should be received with great caution just at present. The Faribault affair is the transfer of parochial schools to the Board of Educa tion, unconditionally, so that they are con ducted durlng'school hours precisely as any other public school and subject entirely to the Board of Education in every respect. The criticism was made because Archbishop Ireland had leased a parochial school in Faribault, Minn., to the public school authorities. Children of all de nominations were received in the school, and the Catholic children had to go without religious instruction.until after school hours. Then, again, the text books were under the supervision of the-Board of Education, and other teachers, in addition to the Sisters of Charity, were employed. TELEGRAPHING THE WEATHER. Curiosities That Result From the Use of a Code of Ciphers. The weather reports which come by tele graph to the United States Signal Office at 9 o'clock every night are curiosities in themselves. Here is an actual specimen, il lustrating the style: "Boston, March 3L Bashful barmaid damnable bony hirsute pirate." It is wonderful what a lot this means. "Bashful" signifies that the barometer is 30. 12 and the temperature 30 Fahrenheit "Barmaid" tells that the wind is from the north and that .52 of an inch, of rain has fallen during the last 24 hours. "Damn able" says that "the velocity of the wind is 22 miles an hour and that the highest tern- Serature during the day was 42. "Bony" eclares that the sky is covered with cirrus clouds. "Hirsute" makes it known that the observations were made at 8 p. at, that the dew point is 80, and that the local pre diction is for fair weather. "Pirate" com municates the fact that the highest wind velocity during the day was 52 miles an hour. Each letter in every word means something, and in this way it is possible to condense a deal of information within a brief space, each observer having his own key. THE SEX OP A PICIUHE. A Woman's Portrait That Heretofore Passed as That of a Male Hero. London Piccadilly. Changes of sex rarely take place in these prosaic days, and I much question whether a well-authenticated instance has been re corded since the mytholoeical era. How ever, a very close approach to this strange reversal ot nature's decree is reported from Versailles. In one of the famous Salles des Marechaux that form part of the his toric gallery is a portrait that rep resents a somewhat effeminate personage in a mediaeval costume, and has, ever since the collection was formed, borne the name of Jean de Montluc, Marshal of France in 1594, and natural son of the Dominican monk" who served Francis L and Henry XL in the character of.diplomat ist "Within the last few days closer investiga tions have resulted iu the discovery that the canvas has no claim to its masculine title, and it will henceforth be labeled as the effigy of Renee de Clermont d'Am boise, wife of the aforesaid warrior. For a century this gallant lady has held her place among the heroes of France and no one has been any the wiser. A Cat as a Swimmer. Many cats are fond of, rather than averse to, water, aud take to that element freely. Some years ago, when residing on the banks of the Thames, writes a correspond ent of Land and Water, I had a cat which used regularly to swim across the river to an eyot which was infested with rats, the distance being about 40 yards. I often used, to carry her across the broadest part of the stream, opposite my house, at least 100 yards, in a punt, and land her on the oppo site bank, when, regardless of weather or flood, she would boldly follow the punt home. She always swam very'low in the water, with tail erect, and used to shake herself like a dog upon coming ashore. Mother "Washington's Bible. The family Bible belonging to George "Washington's mother has lately been on ex hibition. It has a cover of homespnn cloth, put on by its original owner, and is won derfully preserved for its age, all its pages being still intact except a few at the begin ning torn out and placed in the corner of the Mary Washington monument at Fred ericksburg, Va. The first entry in it is that of the marriage of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball, in 1731, and the next is that of the birth of George Washington, Feb ruary 11, 1732 (O. S.). A Successful Specialist Describes His Meth od of Procedure. "Which is the worse", to become a weak hypnotic patient, or remain a confirmed drunkard?" The doctor was a specialist, and a peculiar gift for hypnotizing -people was his, writes Dr. A. S. Atkinson, describ ing a personal interview. "How do I do it?" continued this specialist "Well, the method is simple. When a man addicted to drink comes to me I can generally tell" by feeling his hand, and in looking into his eyes, whether he is a fit subject Not every man is subject to mesmeric influence, only about one in every ten persons. Naturally, that is. But drink makes them otherwise. It acts upon the brain aud nerve centers. weakens them, and eventually destroys them. With a weakened, degenerated brain the strongest-minded man will become a fit subject for hypnotism. Well, the pupils of their eyes dilate and remain congested: when they are susceptible of my power. They soon pass over into the hypnotic state. By speaking plainly to them I can make, an eternal impression upon their minds. I tell them in .words something like this: 'Henceforth liquor will be distasteful to you. "You will liate the taste worse than the poison. The smell and taste of it will sicken you.' They become profoundly im pressed with this, and afterward they will he unable to return to their former habits. It is a cure," "FOR 25 YEARS I had gas on my stomach," said Mrs. Mary Carroll, a Lawrenceville lady. "I was afraid to eat anything for the heavy, dull pain in my stomach. It made no dif ference what I ate, all food would ca,uso ,pain. I had no desire to eat, my s t omach would bloat terribly, with Eain about my eart 1 olten thought I had heart disease.
