Railroad Notes.
Judge Joseph Buflfington in the United
States circuit court, Monday, appointed
Thomas M. King, second vice-president
of the Baltimore & Ohio railway, as re
ceiver for the Pittsburg it Western rail
way. He will give a bond in the sum of
fco ,000. This action was taken after two I
bills in equity had been filed by the Mer
cantile Trust Company of New York city.
The plaintiff's claim that in July 1887,
the Pittsburg & Western company issued
a mortgage for $10,000,000 to secure
t>onds which have lieen hypothecated.
In IS9I another mortgage for $3,500,000
was issued, The outstanding indebted
ness is placed at $3,000,000. The second
suit was on a promissory note for SIOO,
000. This would SAell the entire indebt
ness to $16,600,000.
Judge M. W. Acheson made an order
confirming the appointment for the west
ern district of Pennsylvania of receivers
John K. Cowan and Oscar G. Murry, as
receivers for the Baltimore Jt Ohio. A
number of other papers were also filed in
the matters involving the Baltimore &
Ohio troubles.

the Mercantile Trust Company for sl,.
000,000 was also filed. In answer to this

$929,470 03.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad went
into the hands of receivers, last Saturday.

other payments due and als>ut to liecome
due. The line was chartered in 1X27,
and included in its system 2,06s miles of
railway.
The New York, Pennsylvania Ohio
railroad was sold for $10,000,000 at Ak
ron, 0.. 011 last Tuesday, but the receiver

Washington Notes.
On Friday the Senate, by a vote of 64
yeas to 6 nays, toot the first decisive step
toward the recognition of the Cuban in
surgents as belligerents. The resolution,
which is a concurrent one, does not need
executive sanction, but becomes operative
immediately upon adoption by the other
branch of the Congress. The section
offering the friendly offices of the United
States to Spain fcr the recognition of
Cuban independence is the amendment
offered by Senator Cameron. In the first
section of the resolutions strict neutrality
between the contending parties is speci
ficallv mentioned. The resolutions mean
much to Cuba, and are exjiected to I*.* of
great value to the people who are fighting
for freedom from the rule of Spain. The
resolutions in full are as follows:
"•Resolved, By the Senate the house
of representatives concurring) that, in
the opinion of Congress a condition of
public war exists between the govern
ment ot Spain and the government pro
claimed and for some time maintained by
force of arms by the people of Cuba; and
that the United' States of America should
maintain a strict neutrality between the
contending powers, according to each all
the rights of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United States.
"Resolved, That the friendly offices of
the United States be offered by the presi
dent to the Spanish government for the
recognition ot the independence of Cuba. "
The six senators who voted in the
negative were Caffery. Chilton, George,
Hale, Morrill and Wetmore. The an
nouncement of the result was greeted
with great applause in th? galleres.
The first Presidental veto of this session
of Congress was overridden by the House
Saturday, by a vote of 198 to 38. !22 more
than the requisite constitutional two
thirds. All the Republicans and 32
Democrats voted for the bill, while the
votes to sustain the President were all
cast by Democrats.
The' bill authorizes the Governor and
local officers of Arizona to lease the edu
cational lands of the territory for school
purposes. The President's objection to
the bill was that it did not give the
Secretary of the Interior power to disap
prove the leases, and did not throw proper
safeguards about the timl>er on the lands.
The" statement was made on the floor
that the bill was identical with a similar
bill passed by the last Congress relating
to Oklahoma Territory, at the request of
the Secretary of the Interior, and that
the present bill had received the written
approval of both Secretary Smith and
the commissioner of the general land
office. The statement was also made that
the lands proposed to be leased were now
in the possession of cattlemen and others,
rent free.
The house on Monday passed the fol
lowing resolutions on the Cuban matter:
Resolved, By the House of Representa
tives the Senate concurring that in the
opinion of Congress a state of public war
exists in Cuba, the parties to which are
entitled to belligerent rights and the
I'nited States should observe a strict
neutrality between the belligerents.
Resolved, That Congress deplores the
destruction of life and property caused
by the war now waging in that island and
believing that the only permanent solu
tion of the contest equally in the interest
of Spain, the people af Cuba and other
nations, would be in the establishment of
a government by the choice of the people
of Cuba, it is the sense of Congress that
the government of the United* States
should use its good offices and friendly
influences to that end.
Resolved, That the United States has
not intervened in struggles between any
Euiopeon 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 the
commerce between the two peoples, the
present wir is entailing such losses upon
the people of the United States that Con
gress is of the opinion that the govern
ment of the United States should l>e pre
pared to protect the legitimate interests
of our citizens by intervention, if neces
sary.
Spaniards Attack A Consulate.
Dispatches from Barcelona state that
an attack has been made upon the Unit
ed States consulate in that city, on Sat
urday, notwithstanding the fact that the
building was guarded. During the day
a procession comprising 10,000 persons,
headed by four Republican members of
the Chamlier of Deputies,paraded through
the principal streets of the city as a dem
onstration against the action of the
American Senate. A strong guard had
been placed about the American consu
late in anticipation of trouble, As the
procession passed it there was some de
risive whistling, intersjiersed with eat
calls. The crowd tried to fore:: their
way into the building, but the police and
gendarmes succeeded in driving them
away, but not until Itaey had been forced
to charge the mob with drawn sabers.
While this trouble was going on, the
main body of the procession continued
its march to the town hall, where the
leaders of tile demonstration handed to
the mayor a strongly worded protest
against the action of the American Sen
ate, and also against the speeches that
had been delivered therein on the Cuban
question, it being declared that some of
the speakers had grossly insulted Spain
and the Spanish government in defend
ing Cuban bandits and outlaws.
Subsequently a great crowd assembled
in the I'laza Cataluna, and a numt>er of
patriotic speeches were delivered. The
crowd became greatly excited by the
burning oratory of the speakers, and af
ter the meeting had broken up, a large
number of those who had listened to the
words glorifying Spain and denouncing
the United States, proceeded to the
American consulate, where they gave
vent to their patriotism by stoning the
building, much to the damage of the
windows.
111 the evening there was another out
burst of disapproval of the United States
and all things American. This time it
took the form of publicly dishonoring
the American flag. The rioters had pur
chased somewhere a large American flag,
which, after it had been dragged through
the streets, was pulled to pieces amid
cries of "long live Spain" and "down
with the Americans." There is still
much excitement in the city.
After this outrage on the American
flag, the mob became more violent, and
a proposition to make a further demon
stration against the American consulate
was speeilily acted upon. The mob pro
ceeded to the consulate, in the meantime
arming themselves with stones. Arriv
ing at the consulate, a perfect volley of
missiles was directed against the shield
over the doorway bearing the American
coat of arms, which was battered almost
to pieces. The mob in some way became
possessed of several American flags,
which were destroyed amid ribald jests
and expressions of contempt for the na
tion they represented.
The situation was becoming more and
more threatening, when reinforcements
for the guards at the consulate arrived in
the shape of a detachment of mounted
gendarmes. The crowd was ordered to
ilisjs rse, which they sullenly refused to
do, whcreution the gendarmes charged
them with drawn swords and put them
to flight. Sev.:ial of the rioters were in
jured by being trampled upon. Until a
late hour the boulevards were thronged
by an excited crowd singing "Marseil
laise" and patriotic Spanish songs.
Popular feeling is bitter against the
I'nited States because of the action ofthe
Senate in adopting a resolution favoring
the granting of belligerent rights to the
Cuban rebels. The sto:k market yester
day responded to the excitement and
there was a material decline in purely
Spanish and Cuban securities. In view
of the financial difficulties under which
the government is lalsiring this is a most
unfortunate time for Spanish securities to
decline in value.
Tlic true Americans will throw up
their hats for the Cubans. Let us have
an end to the dominion of the abomnia
blc Spanish in this continent.

The reason our announcement appears
in this paper is because we want to at
tract your attention to our store, we sell
dry goods
but if we don't do it somewhat different
ly from the usual way we wouldn't have
much to talk about, but we think we
have, and the difference is in the prices
may be there are other stores keep as
nice goods, but we are not sure about
that, whether they do or do not, but we
are sure that this store has a very large
and choice assortment of new Silks,
Dress Goods, Suitings and Fine Wash
Goods at prices that will be to your in
terest to find out about.
We make it as simple as possible for
you—have a Mail Order Department that
sends samples everywhere whenever they
are asked for, and make no charge, and
if you'll write and say you want them,
they'll come with prices attached that
will do what we want —sell the goods.
Among the important items are Black
All-wool Serges, 38 inches wide, 25c.
Black Camel Hair Suitings, 44 inches
wide, 50c., goods that are worth a dollar.
I-igured Black Mohair Suitings, 38
inches wide, 25c., and another lot of finer
ones, 35c., and 46 inch ones, 50c.
Plain Black Mohair Suitings in the
various weaves, 38 to 54 inches wid«, 25c.
to 12.50 a yard.
New line of Important Suitings, 38
inches wide, 35c. Navy i>nd Red Mix
tures that have style to tlieui, and they're
all wool.
Fine Coating Serges in choice solid
colors. Blues, Greens, Browns, etc., that
have a lot of merit at the money—called
coating serges, but they're for handsome
suits, 48 inches wide, 50c.
Stylish Tweeds—Sightly Stylish Stuffs,
46 inches wide, 75c., and many other
lines of Fine New Imported Dress Goods
