f SPAIN BIDS BOB PEACE Amnesty for Competitor Prisoners Will Remove Serious Danger. . FULL TEXT OF NOTE READ- Considered as Very Pacific by the Cabinet Meeting and Calculated to Alloy Any, Fear (of a Hostile Outbreak- ' Washington, Nov. 10.——Diplomatic representatives of all countries a1e greatly interested in the postponement of the trial of the Competitor prison— ers. It is the general impression that Spain Will grant them amnesty, and thus iemove one of the most serious dangers of friction with the United States. It is said that the Administration is in possession of official confirmation of of the information that these prisoners will be included in an amnesty procla- mation shortly to be issued by the Spanish Government. This action would indicate that the sagasta Ministry intends to start its work of attempting the pacification of Cuba by completely reversing the pol- icy of Gen. Weyler and by removing, as far as possible, all possibility of friction with the United States. The Competitor case has long been looked upon as one of the most threatening to the friendly relations of the two gov- ernments. It is. said here that the Spanish Government proposes to direct the discharge of the Competitor pris- oners upon the condition that they will leave the Island of Cuba at once, never to return. Full Text of Spain’s Note Read. Washington, Nov. 10.—The full text of Spain’s reply to Gen. Woodford’s note was read at the Cabinet meeting yesterday. Its tone was very prolific, and_ was regarded by the Cabinet as satisfac— tory, and as calculated to allay any fear of a. hostile outbreak. CHINA, AND GOLD. New DepurtureJn Her Currency Not Likely to Prove Practical. London, Nov. 10.-—-According to a special dispatch from Shanghai, the Emperor of China and the Board of Revenue have approved a memorial presented in favor of establishing a gold standard and prohibiting the ex- port of gold. It is doubtful, however, whether this will have any practical result. Until 1889 China had no coinage of its own except brass “cash,” small discs ‘with square holes through them, and of which 1,350 are estimated to be worth a tael. In 1890 China opend her mint, and has coined since many millions in cil- ver. The standard of the country is silver, the Mexican dollar being largely used. ' Gold is at present not even legal ten- der in the Celestial Empire. To-day the great masses of the peOple use only the ‘fcash" in their daily transactions. The estimated monetary stock of the country is $750, 000, 000 in silver and $200, 000, 000 in cash. China is supposed to have been the first nation in the wo1ld to experiment with paper money, having had an abundance of irredeemable “shinplas- ters” many centuries before the pres- ent era. SENATOR FORAKER TALKS. States HisPosition as to the Ohio 1, Senatorial Situation. Washington, Nov. 10.—Senator Fora- ker arrived here yesterday afternoon from Cincinnati. He said he thought most of the disturbance over the Ohio Senatorship was in the Democratic papers. He continued: “I do not know a thing about a fight over the Senatorship, except as I see statements to that effect in the news? papers. I have not talked with Gov. Bushnell or any of the members-elect of the General Assembly, directiy or indirectly, on the subject, and I do not know what is contemplated. “All I have said to any one is that, so far as I am concerned, the campaign ended on election day. So long as it ~Was a. fight against Democrats, I spared neither time nor strength. If there should be a. contest among Re- publicans, I shall not have anything to do with it, if allowed to act according to my preferences.” Senator Foraker expects to go to New York to-night or to-morrow. Crank at the White House. Washington, Nov. 10.—Another crank was arrested at the White House yes- terday. He is about 28 or 30 years old, and called at the mansion early, say- ing he wanted to go to the fourth floor. -He asked to be shown to the elevator. When told that there was no fourth floor, he made a bolt for the interior - of the house, saying that the President had invited him to breakfast. He also said that the President had wronged him, and that he intended to right him- self. It was then decided to arrest the man, but he ran away. He was finally found hidden among the greenhouses on the White House grounds, and arrested and taken to the station house. More Appointments. washington, Nov. 10.—The President has made the following. appointments: John T. Wilder, of Johnson City, Tenn. ., to be Pension Agent at Knoxville, Tenn; Dwight Jarivs, to be Appraiser bf Merchandise in the District of Tam- pa, Fla; Eugene A.

Va., Nov. 10.—Mi1ton Hickman, leader of a band of despera- does, was shot and killed near a church ' by Deputy United States Marshal Ra- der and a large posse. The fight was protracted, and Rader and also two of Hickman's band were wounded. Hickman left the mourners’ bench to engage in the fight. He was a. post olllce robber and the leader of 9. dan- ge'rous band. The affair was in the mountains, near Mudd Lety. other popularly known as “the LONG AND SHORT HAUL CASE. l'nlted States Supreme Court Dc- ‘cldes In l-‘nvor of Southern Roads. Washington Nov. 9.—The Interstate Commerce law has received another severe blow at the hands of the Sn- preme Court. The long- pending ap- peal of the commission from the Judg- ment of the Court of Appeals for the sixth circuit in the matter of the or- der of the commission against the Ala- bama. Midland, GeOrgia Central and railroads has been decided against thb commission. the action of the court below being affirmed. Justi'ce‘ Shlras. announcing the opin- ion of the court. said that the case arose from the effort of the commis- Slon to enforce its order made against the railroads at the petition of mer- chants of Troy, Ala... who alleged that ,the railroads were violating the pro- visions of the fourth section of the act. long and _short haul clause." Two questions arose in the consideration of‘the case, said Justice Shires: 1. Could competition caused by rival railroads and water routes be taken into consideration as showing that the circumstances of the two routes were not substantially similar? 2. If the circumstances were found to be not substantially similar, could the railroads themselves, in the first in- stance,‘without appealing to the com- mission, make allowance in their schedule of rates for that fact? 136111 the Circuit Court and Court of Appeals had substantially decided thesa questions in the affirmative. and in their conclusion. said Justice Shiras. the Supreme Court concurred. Mr. Justice Harlan announced his dissent. Taken in connection with for- mer decisions, he said, this decision went far towards defeatlng the objects arrived at in the passage of the law. it not only minimized the power of the Commissioners beyond the Intention of Congress, but it put it in the power of railroad companies, by permitting them to determine for themselves the quality of competition, to destroy the business of dealers at intermediate points.

BUT WAR MAY FOLLOW Theodore Roosevelt Dcnlnauls Suh- elunlinl Increase in Our Navy and “fill Urge to linin- ll Liberal Appropriation. ’ Congress Washington, Nov. 9.—Consul-General Fltzhugh Lee goes back to Havana with instructions from the President to strongly urge upon the insurgents the. acceptance of. autonomy. in order to place the matter plainly before the leaders of the insurgents in the field he Is to communicate directly with them and then to transmit their answeis to the State Department. All this will take time, which the Ad- ministration is willing to grant. II. is thought that the Consul-General can communicate with the Cuban leaders and get his answers to the proposition back to Washington soon after Con- gress meets, and as there is no inten- tion on ‘the part 'of the President to disturb extsting relations before that time the plan is to be tried. Meantime preparations heretofore be- gun will go forward to get the navy in the best posslble shape. and to prepare for actual war should that follow after pacific measures have failed. Of- President McKinley slntention to go to the last length in surging a pa. cific settlement there Is no doubt, how- ever. While he is prepared to maln- taln the right of this country to inter- vene he is exceedingly anxious that an actual test be applied to demonstrate the sincerity of Spain's proffer of au- tonomy and reforms. Every effort is being made to make the navy as complete as possible so that in any contingency the floating fighting power of the United States may be large enough to take care of Spain or any other nation which may feel that it has a grievance. Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy, entertains strong vieWS upon this point. He declares that he believes that the only efficient defense Is a formidable fighting navy of battleships and torpedo boats. He will strongly urge Congress to make a liberal appropriation for the Improve- ment of the navy this Winter. M’KINLEY DESIRES PEACE. Gen. Lee Talk- of Ills Instructions Regarding Cuban Mattel-e. New York, Nov. 9.—Gen. Fltzhugh Lee, who arrived in New York Sunday night, will sail for Havana to-morrow on the churanca. Gen. Lee was guarded in speaking of Cuban affairs, but he referred with sat- isfaction to his interview with Presi- dent McKinley last Friday: “It was, of course, gratifying to me," said Gen. Lee, “to have the President tell me that my course as Consul-Gen- eral met with his approval. He told me that he had received letters from representative men of all sections in which they expressed their satisfaction at my retention in office. Of course I Cannot say what my instructions are. except that I am to look out for the rights of American citizens. To say more would be to get myself into trouble both at Washlngton and at Havana As to President McKinley's wishes, all that I can say is that he de— sires peace." ' Asked as to the effect of Gen. Blan- co’s appointment to succeed Gen. W'ey- ler, Gen. Lee said: “Of course when a commander Is re— placed by another in the field it follows that the new commander is to use a new policy. The new general would understand that, even though he re- ceived no special instructions whatso- ever. What Gen. Blanco‘s policy will be, however, I cannot say." the (try, Annexation Havana, via Key \Vcst, Fla, Nov. 9.-'i‘l1e11e is an increasing lack of con- fidence here in the ability of Spain to establish an autono'mous'form of g0v~ ernment in (Tuba, and it is feared that the Spanish troops will not be able to suppress the insurrection by force of arms. This causes a feeling of uncertainty lh'the future, which increases the busi- ness depression, and, on the‘other hand, it increases the desire among the more level-headed of the population for the annexation of Cuba to the Unlted States. The Government is well aware of this. and a. semi-official hint. conveyed to the annexationlsts through the. col— umns of a newspaper of this city has induced them to stop their secret 1meet- lngs. The annexationlsts were not ac- cused of conspiring against the Gov- ernment. but the curious charge of "gambling” was made against them. Cash for Lost Love. Bridgeport. Ct..

Murderer Sentenced to Death by Hanging at Express Rate. Parkerslnurg, XV. Va., Nov. 8.—The legal trial and sentencing of John Mor- gan, of Jackson County, will go down in the records of West Virginia as a sample of justice as swift almost as lynching. Morgan brutally murdered three members of the Green family early on Wednesday morning, and was sentenced on Saturday to be hanged, having been duly indicted on Thursday and tried with all formality on Friday. Five hours from the time the first evidence was taken in the case before Judge Reese Blizzard the jury had re- turned a verdict of guilty, and it was only sixty hours after the commission of the crime until the death watch was placed over the condemned man. A mob was formed Wednesday night to lynch Morgan. Judge Blizzard stayed at the jail with the Sheriff all night, three times addressing the mob and promising a speedy trial, no favors and full penalty for the accused if he were found guilty. His promises satis- fied the mob. Morgan made a confes- sion, but said that he had committed the murders in self-defence. Morgan weighs 125 pounds, is 27 years old, has large blue eyes, a hooked nose and a low forehead. He comes of a had family. his .father having been murdered by his mother, who was in turn murdered by a. brother of her vic- tim. HANNA WILL BE RETURNED.

Democrats from the East are much encouraged by the results in New York and New Jersey, and say that the indi- cations are that Democratic Senators will be returned in place of Murphy and Smith. Democrats hope for Con- gressional gains in Pennsylvania next year. They say that it is notable that for the first time in many years the Republican‘vote in the State is less than that of the combined opposition vote. CONFESSES MURDER. Thomas Nulty Admits Killing His Three Sisters and Little Brother. Montreal, Nov. 8.—'1'homas Nulty, the eldest brother of the victims of the Rawdon murder, has been arrested on suspicion of having killed his three sis- ters and one brother. The arrest was made Saturday at the instance of De- tective McCasklll, of Montreal, who has been working on the case. The prisoner is about 20 years of age and has been of a roving disposition. He said that he was away from home on the day of the murder and returned to the scene at midnight after it had been committed. He first denied all knowledge of the crime, but his actions aroused suspicion, and he was accord- ingly arrested. Later in the afternoon Nulty con- fessed to murdering his three sisters and brother at Rawdon. Preacher Reader Expelled. , Boston, Nov. 8.—-'The Rev. George A. Reader, who performed the marriage ceremony which united the couple in the lion’s den at the Zoo on Thursday night, has been expelled from the Bos- ton University School of Theology be- . cause of his performance.

SILVERITES 111111110 Think the Prospects for Reform of the Currency Good. OLOTURE IN THE SENATE Some Democrats Would Help Change _the Rules to Clear the Way for a Monetary Bill Which They Would Not Directly Favor. Washington, Nov. 10.—Notwithstanqr ingdhe apparent impossibility that any financial legislation should get through Congress, some of the best informed Democrats and silver men insist in private that there will be a1 determined fight over the question, and that the outcome is uncertain. They exhibit considerable alarm and declare that there is no doubt that desperate ex- pedients will be adopted to get through the Senate the‘ measure that will be passed by the House on the rec-0m- mendation of the President. fley say that the fight will start in the Senate on a proposition to adopt cloture, al- most as soon as Congress meets, and that there are some Senators who will vote to amend the Senate rules who could not justify themselves before their constituents if they voted direct- ly to pass a currency-reform measure. Yet, if cloture is adopted, they be1ieve that it may be possible to pass a cur- rency measure which would be disas- trous to the silver party. The Republicans say nothing of such a plan, and on the surface it does not seem possible of accomplishment, but there is no doubt that those who op- pose currency legislation are extreme- ly anxious, and are preparing for a desperate struggle, which they say may last throughout the entire session. The Republicans have forty-three Senators, and there being a vacancy, forty-five is a majority. The Demo- crats have thirtyvfour Senators, and there are twelve Pouplists and inde- pendents. Two Democrats, Lindsay and Gray, are likely to vote for a re- form of the currency, if they have an opportunity, though they probably would not dare vote for cloture. If they did, it would pass the monetary bill. Now, if some of those who would vote for a currency measure should vote for cloture, it would open the way for those who would vote for currency reform. It is not certain how Senator J. P. Jones or Senator Kyle would vote on the. cloture proposition, but it is thought likely that Kyle would vote for it, and it is not improbable that Senator Jones would do the same. It is impossible to get Republican authority for an assertion that this plan is in contemplation, but there is no question about the Democrats be- lieving it and being anxious about it. THE SEALING CONFERENCE. It \Vill Commence To-Morrow and Will Be on a Broad Scope. Washington, Nov. 10.-—Gen. Foster and Sir Julian Pauncefort conferred yesterday as to the arrangements for the meeting of British, Canadian and American representatives relative to Behring Sea. A general understanding was reached that the arrival of Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian Pre- mier, and party, would permit the meeting to open to-morrow, as to-day Is likely to be given to an exchange of views between the Canadians and Brit- ish. The British Ambassador accom- panied the Premier to the White House this morning and introduced him to the President. This was a call of courte'sy, however, and it was not expected that any of the pending ques- tions would be referred, to. The British Embassy has. extended an invitation to Sir Wilfrid to be a guest during his stay here, but he has determined to re— main with the other Canadian repre- sentatives at the Shoreham, where quarters have been engaged. It is now definitely settled that the coming meeting will take a. much broader scope than'was first antici- pated. At the outset there will be a comparison of notes between the seal experts, Mr. Hamlin for the United States, Prof. Thompson for Great Britain, and Prof. Macoun for Canada. The Canadian Premier and Sir Louis Davies, Sir Julian Pauncefote and ,Gen. Foster will be present in an unofficial capacity, ready to take up the larger phases of the question when the seal experts have concluded their exchange of technical information. WILL use CHINESE AS MINERS. An Announcement Which Caused In- tense Excitement in Illinois. Streator, Ill., Nov. 10.—The an— nouncement that Chlnamen would be placed in the mines of the Northern Il- linois coal field has caused an immense excitement here, and a call has been issued for a full convention of the dis- trict to be held this afternoon in this city. Every shaft will send delegates, and in the meantime the various or- ganizations will get together and take action. It is understood that to-day's meet- lng will be of tremendous importance to the craft throughout the State, as it Is claimed that if Chinamen are allow- ed to go to work here and elsewhere it will only be a matter of time when minesz» employing that kind of labor will be able to undersell those employ- lng skilled hands and thus the price will be forced down. ~The situation , here is looked upon by business men as most serious. The Chinese question has put an entirely new phase upon it. It means to Streator alone the dis- placement of about three thousand men. She 'l‘ramped in Male Attire.
