Colonel Ray Has a Scheme to Replace Them WITH CUBAN 'RECRUITS Other Good Points Claimed-Twenty-Third Kansas. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) SanUaso de Cuba. Feb. 1L The depart ment ia giving- serious attention to the state of health of the Third Immunes, as weM as to the depletion of the regiment by s kness and the enormous number of dis charges that have been granted, and the probability Is that they will be trans ferred before long. Colonel Ray has a scheme for reorganizing the regiment, whlen he belieefl could be made to work successfully. It Is that four companies of Cubans could be enlisted, many of whom have been insurgents during the war. He woudl not at first have any Cuban com pany officers but would appoint to the companies officers of his regiment who have made some progress ir the Spanish language. For each company he would have an interpreter, but he believes that ne men would very toon learn English, r all military orders would be given to them In that language. He believes that Cubans all over the province would -willingly join companies thus organized in the different immune regiments and that the members of these companies would In reality be immune, which it has been con c'usively proved that the others are not; Indeed, those enlisted from the gulf states have succumbed to fevers and malaria muh quicker than those who have come from colder climes, proving that the colder climate a man comes from, the better h-ealth he has enjoyed in Cuba. Colonel Ray himself is an instance of this, for he has lived for many years where the win ters were very cold, he has been in the Klondike and similar places, and has not sine his arrival in Cuba suffered from a jungle day's sickness. Colonel Ray believes that the term of enlistment for these Cubans should not be less than two years and that they should be enlisted simply for service in Cuba and as the troops that he brought down with him from the states are gradually dis charged, he would be In favor of making fresh companies of Cuban troops, officered as before by Americans. The highest rank to which a Cuban would be eligible in his plan would be that of sergeant. He alsa believes that in six months it would b e possible to have his regiment almost entirely of Cubans and he would make It )mpulsory for officers to pass a certain Ftandard in Spanish within that time, which, if they were unable to do, he would ask for their resignation, promoting in thir palces good men who have serv ed In the Tanks and who will be given op portunities of passing the linguistic test, not that ho believes In making the ex amination a hard one but merely sufficient Spanish for them to converse on ordinary subjects, and particularly relating to mili tary affairs. He would also make pro motion to non-commissioned officers from among the Cubans themseK'es linguistic, the men having to pass a course of Eng lish. These Cuban troops, officered by Ameri cans, ho believes to be the best form of governing Cuba during the military oc cupation, for the men would very soon get to know that their officers were doing the best for them that it was possible to do, fo rtheir health and comfort would be loiked after in ways that were never done before, and also that the people themalves would become more competent, as the sol diers, though wearing the American uni form, would be their own race; In fact. Colonel Ray's idea Is very much on the 1 nes of the Indian regiments which have bcrn found so successful under British rule in Tndla. Colonel Ray believe that in the next few months at least half of the army of occupation should be immune regiments enl's-ted in this fashion. This would save a 1 i nf transportation, would Ub entirely in Cuba the money earned by the men a-' be a boon both to the United States ini to the inland of Cuba. The Second Immunes, stationed at J i ban and Hoigmn, are enjoying com- HERIT MAKES IT FAilOUS. The Only Kcracdy iu the. World, Ex cept a Suraricnl Operation, That Will Certainly Cure Any Form ofl'iles. Tie study of phjsiclans, the experi ments of chomis-ts, the loudly advertised pretensions of quacks, have been for j ears expended in one direction: to find a pile cure that will cure. The resuhs have been a number of harmless, and in most cases useless, oint ments, suppositories and even internal remedies, which the public have weighed It the balance of experience and found -wanting; nearly all of them gave some re ief, but nothing approaching a radical cire resulted from these preparations. The remedy required is one that imme dia'ely stops the pa-n so seveio In most t ase of piles, and then by contracting the small blood vessels (capillaries) to their r "mal size, produces a radical cure by reluclng and finally absorbing the'tumora ani healing the inflamed, raw mucous sarfaces. Until two years ago no such remedy had been produced, but at that time a supposi tory was placed upon the market which h s since proven itself to be the long-s-ught permanent cure for this common and distressing trouble: it has rapidly be i 'me famous throughout the United Sta'es and Canada, and is now sold bv nourly all druggists under the name of fio Praanld Pile Cure. I is now the best known, because its room and safety have advertised It wo-ever used. It has been advertised by word of mouth, from one sufferer to an other, people who had tried everything c se even submitting to painful ami dan gerous surgical operations without avail hnally have found that piles may be cured t thout pain and without expense, prac tically, as the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold i r the nominal price of 50 cenu? and P.r package. The Pyramid instantly stops all pain and at the same time coaUinb no cocaine. morphine or narcotic; the acJ-U and healng properties contained in the rem edy speedily remove, cause a healthful r-a'ural contraction and absorption of tumors: it will cure any form of recta! truuble except cancer and ad.-ancei tu!a. which, by to way. nearly always result from neglecting proper and timely treatment for piles.

FOR GRIP Sunny Side, Thomasville, Ga.f January 17, 1S99. F. HUMPHREYS, M. D. My Dear Doctor I cannot sufficiently thank you for the grateful and immediate relief your Specific No. 77 gave to me. I was Teally very ill Sunday evening. I had a fierce Chill and what -we used to call "The Rigors' in the Army, followed by a very high fever. The pains, pericarditis and osreritls, arising from the Cable Car injury, as well as the Grip, are at this moment, Tuesday morning, almost entirely abated. Sincerely yours, SCHUYLER HAMILTON, Maj.

THEN THE WHIPPING-POST paratlvely good health and are doing work that has been satisfactory to the depart ment, but they are- no more Immune than any other of the Immune regiments, and it is doubtful if they could stand a summer without great loss of life, and though Colonel Hand has not been heard from on the subject, it is probabJe that he would welcome the addition of a few com panies enlisted In the manner proposed by Colonel Ray. The Fifth Immunes, now In Santiago, have not proved a very healthy body of men and they have also suffered from the climate, fo rtheir sick list is still large, even at this time of the year, and Colonel Sargent is believed to be in favor of try ing tne plan proposed. Tne Fourth Immunes, stationed at Man zanlHo, have enjoyed goal health and it is not thought that Colonel Petit would desire to try this innovation. With regard to the three Immune regi ments at San Luis, the Ninth, the Tenth there is no reason, being quartered where tney are, in the healthiest part of the mortmains, as far away as possible from anywhere they could do mischief, that they should not retain theia. former health for ever, until the time of their disbandment arrives. Two companies could easily do all in the way of guarding property that these three regiments are permftted to per form, antagonism to them among the Cu bans being too great to risk their being sent to any towns or cities of anyize. Washington, Feb. 11. The secretary of war today gave orders for the mustering out cf the Third regiment, now stationed at Santiago. This regiment was recruited by Col. Ray, a regular army officer. They are to leave Santiago by March 11. Dr. Hull's Cough Nyrap cures over night the most stubborn cold as well as all its complications tickling in the throat, husky voice and violent .coughing.'

On account of the intense cold, the men were well covered with blankets, but whA released they were so benumbed that they could scarcely stand. Upon being thawed oue two iof the three, together with six others, were sent to the whipping post.

A large delegation is expected to go from Wichita to the Oklahoma annual livestock convention, to be held at Woodward Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday. Messrs. William M. Paugh and Ed Healy, of the Stock Exchange, are on the projsam, as are also Mr. George P. Dold, Superintend ent Dulaney and the stock editor of the Eagle. Besides these interested parties, there will be representations from, the Commercial club and other organizations, besides several small parties who go for the pleasure and profit of such an impor tant meeting. Some of them will leave Monday night and another party Tuesday morning. Among the latter groups will be n, party who are to take part on the assigned program: Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wallace, Miss Kathryn Monahan' Mr. Fred Dold and C. E. Bigeiow. But for the severe weather a much larger representa tion from Wichita would have been made, and as it is, the livestock market right at the gateway of the sister territory will be well represented. It promises to be the most successful of all previous annual gatherings at Woodward, and Secretary Bolton deserves great credit for his enter prise. Mr. L. R. Dulaney will have charge of one large party coming from several points and leaving all together from Wichita. pHERE is something about a dyspeptic stomach that makes one sour, cranky, makes the eyes see green, makes the brain dull, and the lines of the face drawn.

A poorly managed opera company, a blustering manager, an unexpected gar nishment were the side attractions at the Crawford opera 'house last night, which culminated in a scathing rebuke by the leading lady, surrounded by her "child ren," in the last act. The primary cause for this unusual slde piay may be attributed to the irony of fate, which has vigorously pursued the Dorothy Morton Opera company for some time, in their vain endeavor to find paying audiences and evade a note that they had had given to one John Dowden of Lincoln, Neb., for money loaned to enable them to reach; the next town.

"I see that the Eagle, in giving an ac count of the recent capture of those ten postoffiee robbers at Fort Reno, Indian Territorj. gave all the credit to the deputy United States marshals," said Chief Clerk Clyde M ReeI. of the railway mail service, yesterdaj. 'This, of course, was not the fault of the Easle. but I happen to know something about that case, and I am sure your El Reno correspondent has been im posed upon by the men who were hunting for story. "The real credit for the big capture be longs to Postoflice Inspectors Beebe and Stice. The only work performed by the deputy marshals was to serve the war rants after Beebe and Stire had sworn to tfcem and placed them in the marshals hands. "The two inspectors oommenced work on the case the second day of Februarv. ronized. As the show was about to begin the manager demanded his share of the receipts1, and not meeting- with Immediate attention proceeded to laden the orderly precincts of Manager Martling's office with sulphurio adjectives, and declared that the performance would not begin unless Im mediate settlement was made. Thereupon Hon. Sam Amidon, ,yho happened to be present, entered upon the scene, and in the ame of the Beevolent Order of Elks and the state of Kansas, hoth of which bodies he is a member, demanded an immediate fulfillment of the contract, at a penalty of having their belongings attached, for breach of promise, whereupon the first act began, while the blustering manager, un known to few, was being led captive to the city jail by Officer Kline and compelled to give bail in the substance of his watch and chain and other jewelry. Everything went smoothly in the first act, the performers little thinking of the fatal stab fate had in store for them, and which appeared in the form of a gar nishment against the Dorothy Morton Opera company by the aforesaid John Dowden. Manager Martling was in his office counting the receipts with the trea surer of the company when the notice was served, and at once notified the company, who were now waiting for the second act. With one accord they declared the show was at an end so far as they were con cerned, but the commanding eloquence of Samuel Amidon was again pressed Into service, with the desired result, and the company, much against their will, pro ceeded with the second act, and continued the play through, in a very abbreviated manner. At the conclusion of the performance, before the curtain dropped. Miss Morton announced that she had a few remarks to make, which would vindicate the company of any intention to "lay down." nd with the members of dier company grouped around her, sho commenced a vituperate tirade against the "inhuman villain and wretch" who had hounded the company with the garnishment.

TBB ftPinnrtn BELJLTOJC C0 JLtU.ri, Ca. The extreme cold -weather interfered se riously with the promised success of the Elks' benefit performance of the Dorothy Morton Opera company at the Crawford Grand yesterday afternoon and evening. Financially It was a success, owing to the popularity of the Elks lodge and their hustling abilities, -but not one-half who had bought tickets attended, owing to the L extreme cold. The company presented "Girofla-Girafla" at the matinee and "The Beggar Student" at night. Both performances were much marred by the inability of Miss Morton and other members of the company to sing, being afflicted with severe hoarseness and sickness. This wou'd not have been so much noticed had Jt not been for the long waits before the performance began, and again for the second acts, owing to trouble regarding some matters with the manager of the company. "The Beggar Student" was presented In a fair manner. The audience were prob ably disappointed in the performance, as they had expected something very fine. Miss Morton could not do herself iustice, owing to a severe cold, which nrevented her from singing at all. Mr. WHkc. -the baritone, as the prince, was a disappoint ment, but the tenor. Mr. Edward Webb, was very good indeed. He, too. was troubled with a cold, but succeeded in singing his numbers very creditably in deed. He Is also a graceful actor Mr. Webb is popular In Wichita, having ap peared here several times In opera, the last time being with the Corinne Opera company. Count Orlandorf also did some good work. Miss Annice Leichester. as Bronislava. was exceedingly clever, aad both -her singing and acting was very ac ceptable. The chorus work was good con sidering the size of the company, and did seme good ensemble work. The costum ing of the company was gorgeous.

I uulilu Americans Hate Germany on Insular Episodes AND TARIFFS BE HANGED Germany Ignores These, But Is Frantic About Trade. (Copyright, 1S99, 'by the Associated Press.) Berlin, Feb. 11. The United States am bassador here, Mr. Andrew D. White, has now Tecelved detailed instructions' regarding Samoa, both "by mail and ca ble. He declined to give their nature but said: "I do not se any reason to change tho opinion I have previously expressed that the difficulties "would be entirely ad justed diplomatically. My instructions have not made the task of coming to an amicable understanding more difficult. I have had several conferences with Baron Von Buelow (the Gernfan minister of for eign affairs) during the week about Sa- moa and the Philippines, and our commer cial relatiors. I found the German gov ernment very conciliatory." Mr. White utterly disbelieves the re ports that Germany has financially sup ported Aguinaldo, and similar stories. With reference to the latter allegations, a high government official- said to the Associated Press correspondent here: "These reports are utterly baseless. It Is true that a commercial syndlca-te for the export of arms and ammunition has existed at Hong Kong for years and is still doing a thriving business. Its mem bers are English, Americans, Japanese and Chinese, but at does not contain a single Gorman. The consul of Germany certainly does not belong to the syndi cate, nor is ha in any way interested in the arms and ammunition trade.' American affairs have occupied a large space in the German press during -the past week. The events at Manila have been followed keenly and the press com ments are plentiful and varied. Gener ally speaking, the papers are rather sym pathetic to the Americans, hut fears are expressed that the task of subduing the Filipinos will prove harder than the Americans suppose. The Vossiche Zei tung in ti.i article on ithe American suc cess say: "If America insists upon estab lishing a permanent American rule in the Philippines, the United States stands just on the threshold of a colonial war, of whose dangers and expense, blood and money, American newspaper strategists have probably no adequate idea." The Kreuze Zeitung says: "Whoever talks of this situation calmly must admit that the final victory of America is not only certain but desirable. The Tagalos, with their Aguinaldo, are certainly incap able of self-government. We are unable to discover in tills Aguinaldo, who has played with more than hostile Intentions between two powers, any traits of real greatness." The Kreuz Zeitung then rejoices that the relations between the United States and Germany are improving, and pays a high tribute to Mr. White for his steady efforts in that direction. The paper next advises a partition of the Samoan islands, Germany taking the one upon which Apia, the capital, is situated, and which con tains more than half tho total population of the entire group, and the United States and Great Britain dividing Savali, Tutil la and anua. In the course of his speech today in the reichstag on German-American, relations, Baron Von Buelow emphatically declared that Germany only intended to protect the life and property of Germans in the Phil ippines and added: "Now -no have no fears. Wo are convinced that our coun trymen in the Philippines are safe under American protection." The baron then referred to the Fourth of July speech of the United States ambassador here, art. Andrew D. White, whicn, he said, did Germany justice (Cheers). Tns minister afterwards spoke of trio "perfidious press representatives of both countries," and enumerated many historical ties between the two nations, adding: "It will not be well to rupture those ties. We will treat the United States without provocation but without weakness." There has been much astonishment at tho fact thait the Prussian diet did not take any official notice of the death of General Count Von Caprivi, the former chancellor. They did not send a delega tion to the funeral and it did not adjourn mark of respect to the dead man. as 1M the relohatag. This studied neglect is attributed to the fact that the diet is dominated by the Agrarians, of whom Caprivi was the pet enemy, in conse quence of his commercial treaty and pol icy.

'In the reichstag today Count Von Kanitz, the. Agrarian leader, at the instance of the German govern ment, interpellated the government on the I question of commercial relations between the United States and Germany. The min ister of foreign affairs, Baron Von Bue low, intimated hia readiness to reply to them. Introducing the interpellation, Count Von Kanitz referred to the prohibitive effects of the Dingley bill and contrasted the de crease of German exports with the in crease in American exports. He said that to announce the treaty containing the favored nation clause was now scarcely necessary, as the Americans no longer tuny observed their treaty. The Americans, h eadded, must be made to understand that the Germans have no need to obtain their whole list of necessaries from them alone. If one country closed its markets to an other, good commercial relations could not permanently continue. In this connection, in the interest of the purchasing power of the country against American measures, a tariff war certainly undesirable, but in the event of such a- struggle, America owing to the greater volume of her im ports, had much more to lose than Ger many. The count concluded with express ing the hope that the federal government would act cautiouly and energetically. His remarks were applauded by the Rightists. Baron Von Buelow replied that it was im possible, in view of the pending negotia tions, to make an exhaaustive declara tion of the position taken by the German and American governments. In the i specific question, Germany's differences with America were mainly attributable to conflicting interpretations of the favored nation treatment assured b ythe treaty of 1SSG. (Loud cheers.) "The German government has always considered these clauses of the treaty as implying favored nation treatment for Germany on all tariff questions. Conces sions of any other kinds which the United States might grant, say, in return for some special consideration, Germany would only claim if she made a corresponding return to tne United States. Upon thi view is based the well-weighed meaning of the treaties. Germany can not recede from this position. As repards the differ ential treatment of German sugar apart from the Dingley tariff, he German gov ernment objected that this treatment was opposed -to the most favored nation treat ment and that it was a customs surtax in correctly calculated. We have secured the removal of the differential charges arising from unfair reckoning of the surtax, but Germany has a further demand respecting the deduction of additional excise from the so-called over-contingent which has been persistently rejected. On the other hand, the American government has promised to consider Germany's proposal fo rthe de duction of the general industrial tax to which German sugar is subjected. "The question of tonnage dues has arisen from the fact, that in viw of our decla ration of ESS. according to which no ton nage or lighthouse dues corresponding to the American tonnage and lighthouse du ties are collected at German harbors, America granted veas?Is from Germany exemption from these dues and afterward withdrew the exemption, although in the meantime no change whatever was made in the German shipping dues and the situa tion having in every respect remained as it was. There are. however, indications of an Inclination upon the part of the United States, by amending the present legislation, to remove all causes for com plaint. "Again, our interpretation of the mot favored nation treatment does not admit that the United States .should grant us the i -x j. i. r NHinp isnn rwiiiPiinnM si fi thihv nn'flinoM i same tariff reductions as France obtained for various goods under the reciprocity convention of 1903, sad which was recently extended to the same products from j Switzerland.

"The federal government claims the con fidence of the reichstag that it will know how to follow such a course as will lead to the interests of the ftherland, entrust ed to the ministers, being permanently safeguarded In the best and safest way." The imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen lohe, who is not yet quite well, made his appearance in the house, and shook hands with Baron Von Buelow. Dr. Lieber, the Centrist leader, followed. He acknowledged the difficulty of discuss ing In the reichstag, negotiations which were still in suspense, but they all agreed in regarding as wrong the interpretation of Article 9, of which the Americans were so enamored. Such an interpretation could not have held water, even at the time of i the conclusion of the original treaty. Be- i sides the sugar 'and tonnage differences, Dr. Loiber continued, Germany seriously objected to the arbitrary customs valua- j tions at New York. But with tho feeling of mutual irritation abroad they must be doubly careful not to pour oil on the flames. And irritation, the speaker point ed out, prevailed especially in the eco nomic sphere. A pan-European tariff coali tion against the United States was not feasible; but eventually Germany would be forced to adopt "an autonomist tariff. Dr. Lieber said, he had expected that the uneasiness caused by political rumor, par ticularly In connection with the Philippines must be allied to the answer to the inter pellation, and he therefore requested the minister of foreign affairs to make a fur ther statement regarding the political re lations between Germany and the United States. Prince Herbert Bismarck said he thought nothing good was done in a hurry, and the reichstag ought to be content with the well weighed statement read by the for eign minister. Certainly the government's representatives who were present deserved the confidence of the whole house. Con tinuing, Prince Bismarck expressed the opinion that the American treatment was unfair, and ho desired that it should be repaid in kind. He also expressed the hope that the reichstag would show unani mous confidence in the government. Dur ing the course of Prince Bismarck's speech reference to Frederick the Great's recog- i nition of American independence and American protection of Germans during the siege of Paris, were vociferously cheered. RUSINESS BEFORE POLITICS Germany Is Worrying: liess About Island Than KvportK. Berlin, Feb. 11. The commercial relations between the United States and Gerraanv are absorbing more attention than their political relations, partly on account of the reichstag interpellation on the subject today, tinroduced hy Count Kanitj, the Agrarian leader, with the approval of the government, which hopes thereby to exert pressuie on the Washington government, which, it is claimed here, is hanging back needlessly and interposing ohstac'es in the way of a mutual understanding regarding reciprocity.

The honor, the glory of the signal victory at Manila 2ast Saturday night and Sunday morning belongs to the citizen soldier, to the volunteer. A regiment of Kansas boys were at the front and in the thick of the conflict. The most brilliant and successful charge made, and the one marked 5y the least of disaster was made by the Kansas citizen Eoldier. There is no denying the fact. At Santiago the credit really belonged to the regulars who were afforded the opportunity by the officers in command. But the volunteer citizen soldier is just as implicitly to be depended upon, and Manila furnishes the verification. There comes no criti cism or complaint of the lack of courage or the want of tefQdency upon the part of the soldier citizen at Manila from the officers in command. At Santiago, outside of Roose velt's Hough Riders, the volunteers had little show or op portunity. At the present 'time, according, to the latest re ports of the adjutant general's office, there are on duty at all points in the Philippines 28,918 troops 12,507 regulars and 16,411 volunteers. Kansas was among the later arrivals. However, there is no better fighter in the world than the American soldier be he regular or volunteer, and following the fall of Iloilo, and the ratification of the Paris treaty by (the cortes, combined they will speedily stamp out the last vestige of opposition, after which we will proceed to realize on the investment and to cut a wide and profitable swath in the financial, industrial and governmental affairs of the Orient. As for anything further, leaving out the hope of China for continued nationality, through America's acquisition of the key of the eastern situation, and the Jap's broader op portunities in securing a sympathizing and encouraging neighbor, Aguinaldo stands responsible for the conflict of last Saturday night and Sunday. In forcing the gunpowder issue tie' sealed his own doom and opened the way to complete the work so encouragingly begun by Dewey. In asking for inde pendence for his. people AguinaJdo was somebody. In at tempting to force it, he lost his opportunity. This govern ment would not harm the hair of the head of a single native of the Philippines. But the madness of their leader forced the decision of the sword. The shooting down of the brave eavages who stood naked before our guns with their bows and arrows was almost as deplorable as it was pathetic. But fate had placed the nation in a position where it could not honorably avoid responsibility. Despite all foreboding, we do not doubt that in the end the extension of our jurisdiction will prove a blessing to the islanders as well as an ultimate advantage to ourselves. path. As an army officer lately attached to the Paris com mission declared, the jurisdiction of General Otis "extends beyond his outposts 1,900 yards, with sights up, wherever he happens to be." Another Populist Humil iation. The effort, or apparent effort, of tihe Pop senate, through indirection, to force the supreme court to decide the Leedy Epecial session legal is little short of infamous. For one, we have entertained little or no doubt that the extra session would be held to have been constitutional, if not exactly reg. ular or defensible. The only indication to the contrary Is the Etand taken by ex-Judge Albert H. Horton, who holds that the call and the entire subsequent proceedings were illegal. But whether or no, the state senate's attitude is a state humiliation and a disgrace, if not a scandal. Aguinaldo Born a Traitor. The question, or wonder, with many is as to .where 'the adherents of Aguinaldo get their arms and ammunition; whence their munitions and subsistence. It will be remem bered that Aguinaldo had deserted his land for a price and that he was a resident of Hong Kong up to the time DeWey's fleet was ordered away from that port. "When Aguinaldo landed at Cavite on the 19th of May, it was directly in the Interest of theUnited States. But for Dewey he could not have even -returned to Manila. On the day named Dewey permitted him to take from the arsenal 479 Mauser rifles, not with any expectation that he would turn them against this government Later,' from captured Spanish prisoners he secured 3,500 rifles. Later, a little steamer called the Faon brought from Hong Kong 5,000 Remingtons. He has four Krupp field pieces, having a caliber of 3.15 inches. These are the only arms which Aguinaldo has not obtained surreptitiously. That hJa has thus secured others there can be no doubt, for in an official dispatch General Otis says that Che insur. gents have received "a good many Mauser rifles, a few field pieces and quick-firing guns, with ammunition, during the last few months." An investigation will reveal the sources of supply. One dispatch says that a number of the cap tured Krupp guns are new, and so are the rifles, while the ammunition bears a date since June. This furnishes a sub stantial basis for a belief that some one has violated inter national law and furnished the Tagal leader with arms and ammunition. One rumor says that a German firm at Hong Kong furnished him with 30,000 stands of arms. It is known that Aguinaldo has been dickering with Spain for arms and ammunition. General Rlos, commanding the Spanish troops, recently notified his government that Aguinaldo offered to release the Spanish prisoners on hand ing over to him thejcannon, rifles and 3,000,000 cartridges be longing to the Spanish. American consent was asked by Spain and refused. It is significant that General Otis wired that Spanish officers served the Tagal artillery in the battle before Manila. The Return, Refuses to Let Up. The Lawrence Journal should make up Its editorial mind that it will, some time in the future, cease to rub it in on the fellows who believed that silver was a possible money metal at some ratio, and that the world would be just as rich to hold on to it as money. All legal tender money is fiat money, whether of paper, metal or what not. If gold were universally abandoned as money metal nobody could esti mate, probably, anywhere near what its commodity value would be per ounce or pound. A gold coin is supposed to contain within itself its fiat value. But does it? "Who knows? Nobody. It is at present the least varying for the purposes of a standard, but the discovery of a single boulder of that metal as big as a barn would knock nine tenths of the tenets of the money-mongers crazy. Our con temporary may be right in its continuous assertion that free silver is" a fallacy, but it was not always so. Free silver at any ratio is probably an impossibility, and that contention if not shattered is at least relegated. But as for the money question, that will be the llvest of the coming years. As a metal for the single standard, gold, unquestionably, is preferred by the commercial and, financial world, but that fact will not keep the question out of politics, either in the United States or in "Western Europe. High or Low Legal Interest. Statutory laws are not necessarily dominant. They can not contravene any natural law and but few financial or commercial laws. The probabilities are that no state ever benefited its inhabitants by efforts In lowering the legal rate of interest. In the absence of the power to force the holder of money to loan it the "legal rate" cuts no ice. If it does anything.lt restrains or discourages the loaning of monkey in any locality where the legal rate is lower than the real rate or value, so that all such legislation as a rule works a real harm to the very class sought to be benefited, the borrower. The Merchants' association of New York are opposing and endeavoring to get all the merchants in the Interior of the state to join with fhem in opposing a bill now before the New Tork legislature to reduce the legal rate of interest from 6 per cent to 5 per cent The Merchants' asso ciation insist that such a proceeding will be calamitous to small merchants, burdensome to farmers, harmful to whole sale and manufacturing interests, and generally bad for the prosperity of the state. The argument is that the banking capital in the United States pays not more than 4 per cent per annum, which average includes states where legal rate of interest is 7 and 8 per cent "This profit" the New York merchants say, "is derived almost entirely from ordin ary commercial loans to merchants and farmers at the rate of 6 per cent. Credit is ability to borrow. It depends upon willingness to lend. It ceases when lending means loss. The banking business is nothing but the machinery of credit "When banking doesn't pay, banks go out of business and credit stops. That means that the business of the average merchant Is reduced about one-half, and that great numbers of small merchants are driven entirely out of business." Pen itentiary Binding Twine. Penitentiary labor and its products have long been a source of contention in Kansas. Labor unions having threatened, political parties have resolved. The convicts of the early years were, because of complaints, taken from the shoe, harness, tailoring, wagon and other shops and sent down under ground to dig coal. Later, this state coal output commenced to be felt by the miner. Them followed more rouble. Now comes John Seaton of Atchison with a prop osition, to adopt the Minnesota state prison plan of using its convict labor for the manufacture of binding twine, which manufacture, while not Interfering with any Kansas labor er's interest, might benefit the farmer. Minnesota cleared 5S7.OO0 last year on the binding twine produced by Its con victs. A committee headed by Seaton visited the Stillwater, Minnesota, penitentiary this week, and their report is en tirely favorable. The White Alan's Burden.

No obstacles should be thrown in the way of Ameri can investments in Cuba. Americans and Spaniards In Cuba have joined in a remonstrance to General Henry against the provision of his tax order which specifies that "taxes on lands of owners who reside abroad will be increased by 50 per cent" The absentee landlord is ordinarily a menace to the social welfare; but the penalty named, added to the climatic risks, would seem to be unduly severe. One effect of its enforcement would be to discourage Americans from Investing in Cuban plantations on which they might reside during the winter. Aside from this consideration, it would be wise policy for a regime which is to be but temporary not to antagonize public sentiment unnecessarily.

Mr. Saulius slowly entered the room. The servant in dress suit and white cra vat, had opened the door without recog nizing him. He was a stranger in this house, which sheltered his wife and his daughter. Ten years had passed since he had en tered this house, since he and his wife had separated. They had been divorced foolishly. The reason? A peccadillo, that she had taken seriously. Both their lives ruined! During this time he had seen his daugh ter but once a month, and he had never seen his wife, except one time, at a dis tance. In the Bois. Now that Queen, the daughter, was to be married he came to lead her to 'the altar. The room was filled with flowers, white roses and boughs of lilacs. The wedding presents were placed on a table in a corner of the room. Mr. Saulius turned round at the sound of footsteps. His wife stood before him. He bowed ceremoniously; she returned his salutation, 'offering him a chair. He seated himself. They began to talk upon indifferent subjects. Then the scenes of their former life passed before their eyes. At first, smiling, joyous, brilliant with changing colors, illumined by the sun, then sad, dull and wretchedly dreary. Evoked by the circumstance that caused them to meet again they both recalled the day when they were married, and, Mrs. Saulius, turning her head suddenly, said almost involuntarily: "Let us hope that Queen will be happier than her mother. She is good and gentle. An unhappy marriage would kill her." She stopped abruptly, regretting the words. Mr. Saulius looked at her sadly and re plied: "Yes." "Mr. .Guersac Is a charming man," he said again, after a while. "He loves Queen dearly. I hear only the most favorable reports of him. One can only reproach him (if it be a reproach) with his lack of fortune. But the settling of a young girl whose parents are divorced is always dif ficult." "Yes," said Mrs. Saulius, sadly, "we have no right to be too exacting." There was another silence. Then Mr. Saulius said: "You will feel lonely now." She bowed her head. "However, you will be able to see her eyery day, as she willxontlnue to live in the neighborhood." "It will not be the same. My home will not bo her home," 'she said. A cry of reproach escaped him. "What have I suffered then?, I, who have seen her but once a month for the last ten years?" "I have never denied you the privilege of seeing her," she replied. "Yes! A half-day's visit, brought by a governess or a nurse. Do you think that Queen, little as she was, did not under stand? That she did not have the Intui tion of the injury that was done to me? That she did not suffer from it?" Mrs. Saulius flushed, and, rising, ex claimed: "Ah! Injury! You exasperate me. How ever, you are right Children always suffer for the faults of their fathers." He coldly corrected her. "Of their par ents." She looked at him proudly. "With what do you reproach me?'" she asked. "Your lack of heart. You were relent less. For an error of a moment." She interrupted him indignantly: "A friend of mine! -Whom you met here in this room at my house!" "Yes. I did wrong, but it was only a passing weakness. In reality, I loved only you, and you wero without pity. Guided only by your wounded pride, you wished the separation, and nothing could change your determination. You pursued your work of vengeance with a fierce te nacity. You wished it complete, not only in separating yourself from me, but in taking away the child that I loved as much as you.' You broke two hearts, but your pride was satisfied." She stopped him with a gesture. "Sir, you are mistaken." He replied more coldly. "I forgot myself. I ask your pardon. This is neither the place nor the hour for explanation. -And, then, what good will it do? All is indeed lost!" "O, I pray you. do not pose as a mar tyr! If any Jives have been sacrificed they aro mine and our daughter's. As regards yourself, you have certainly profited by the liberty that I returned you. You did not seem to suffer because you did not see me any more." "It is true." said Mr. Saulius, trying to steady his voice. "I continued in my course, but I did It for revenge. I wish ed to conceal my pain for you. I acted indifferently. I wished to make you as unhappy as you had made me, to make jou suffer in your turn. I tortured myself' in vain. I understood that If you were so decided, if nothing could move you, yoa certainly no longer loved me." At this confession the poor woman gave a cry of pain. "II" "Yes, and you joyfully seized this occa sion, which offered Itself, to regain your freedom." He went on: "You were so much the more pleased because you loved perhaps some one in secret." "You thought that of me?" she cried. "Yes." "'It is horrible! It is frightful!" Sho sank into a chair, hiding her face In her hands. Then suddenly seizing his hand and pull ing him to her. sho looked into his eyes and gave expression to the feelings so long concealed. "I adored you!" she said: "I suffered a thousand deaths! If I did as you say it was because I thought you had ceased to love me. Ah, If I had known! We have both been deceived! Neither of us would confess or make the first advance. Our pride has stood in the way of our happiness, and for lack of a moment's frankness both our lives have been ruined. "We know it is too late. Our youth Is gone. It would be useless to at tempt to reconstruct the edifice of our happiness. "We are not the same." Mr. Saulius looked at his wife intently. He understood the mistake which had separated them. Each had believed the one had ceased to love the other, and, wounded and indignant, they had sepa rated. Her words, "I adore you," sent a thrill of happiness through him. and lighted for a second all his past lonely life like the last flame of a conflagration burn ed out. "You loved me? Is it possible?" he cried. "Yes," replied the woman In a broken voice. "You will never know how much! The grief, the regrets of what I have lost through self-love have broken my heart. And the comedy of Indifference that I Im posed upon myself I wished to play until the end He pressed her hand gently; "My poor Madeline! I, also, have been crueJly pun ished. Ah. If I had known!" She made a quick gesture. "Or if we had taken time to consider." "Yes." "Bnt now it Is too late, and our lives are ruined, ruined forever. My poor friend. What ?hall we do new?" At this moment rustle of silk was heard on the 5 1 a Irs. the door opened, and Mareelle. la her wedding robes, a bouquet of orange blossoms at her corsage, her pretty face beaming with happiness, en tered and threw herself into her father's arms. 'Father! My dear father! It Is yon? If you only knew how happy I am! Mr. Saulius press ad her to fate heart. "My child! My dearest daughter! God bless rou!" Then, disengaging himself gentry from hftr r.hnifl he turned towards his wlf. and, smiling, said Jo her: "What shaB wj J do new? Watch the happiness of eer ehBdreo!" From the Freaeh. Coffee and lis History, The first trustworthy record of coffee, "even among the people to whom it became the elixir of life, is Its mention by Scheha beddln Bey, an Arabian writer of the fif teenth century, who says the then Mufti of Aden learned its use when visiting the court of Persia. It was at first drunk only by the dervishes to stimulate them In the ceremonial antics of their religious services. But the people found out Its virtue and it was soon carried from Aden to Cairo, to Damascus.' and to Aleppo. In 1554 coffee-houses were established in Constantinople. The mosques were de serted for them, and the priests soon de nounced coffee on the plea that it was in toxicating and thus forbidden by the Ko ran, and also that the roasted berry was a form of charcoal and hence not allowed as food. Laws prohibited its use. but it was still drunk in secret and finally a Mufti who had perhaps himself yielded to its charm, gave a new and evasive in terpretation of the law; Its sale by license was authorized, and coffee-houses became the source of large revenues. The pulp of the berry, which will not bear trans portation, furnished a beverage of rare aroma called "the Sultan's coffee." The first European known to have men tioned coffee was Rauwolf. a -German physician, wljo became familiar with It In Constantinople, and whose book of travels was published In 1573. George Sandys, he who in Virginia, by his trans lation of Ovid, first on American soil ren dered tribute to the classics, In 1510-15 wrote in his 'Travailes' a description of the Turkish empire, wherem he said of the Turks: "They sip of a drink called coffa. In little china dishes, as hot as they can suffer it." It was asserted by those who Introduced coffee into England that even at boiling heat It will not burn the mouth. Burton wrote of it, while still a. foreign "drug:" "The Turks have a drink called coffa, so named of a berry as black as soot and as bitter (like the black drink among the Lacedemonians, and perhaps the same), which they sup as warm as they can suffer, and which helpeth digestion and procureth alacrity." There is nothing to substantiate this sug gestion that coffee was known to the Greeks, although one writer supposes it to have been the nepenthe of Homer. Coffee was not known in France before 1G40, when it sold for about twenty-elcht dollars the pound. It is said that the first cup of coffee made In Paris was for the Dauphin, later Louis XIV, It was earlier used in England. Under date of May 10, 1637, John Evelyn wrote in his diary: "In my time there came to Baliol College one Nathaniel Conopios, out of Greece, from Cyrill the Patriarch of Constantinople, who was the first I eversaw drink coffee, which custom came not into England for thirty years after." But seven years before this visit of Con opios, one Daniel Edwards, a Turkey mer chant, had returned to London from a life spent in the East His friends were so pleased with the strange beverage offered them that his servant, whom he had brought from Smyrna, was allowed. In 1632, to set up a coffee-house, and there was "coffee made and sold on St. Mich aeils Alley, Cornhlll, by Pasque Rossie. at the sign of his own head." A Turk's or "Sarcaren's" turbanned head became a popular sign for coffee-houses. This first venture was speedily followed by the Sul tan Marat and the Sultan Solyman. In Pasqua's handbill, setting forth "the ver tues of the Coffee drink," ho promises the cure of nearly all known maladies, and avers, "it Is a simple. Innocent thing" which "doth much quicken the spirits and make the heart lightsome." Pasqua's shop was the first of the coffee-houses which became so famous in the literary and political history of Lon don. They were at once a club and a daily hourly newspaper. There public opinion was found and disseminated. The Newsmongers' Hall was a not. Inappropri ate name given them. Their convenience was minutely set forth by an Italian Vis iting London in 1G69, who says: "They have divers rooms or meeting places of newsmongers, where one hears all that is, or is thought to be news, true or false, as may be. In winter, to sit around a largo fire and smoke for two hours, costs but two soldi. If you drink, you pay for all that you consume." The Rainbow, said to have been the sec ond coffee-house opened In London, was in Fleet street, near the Inner Temple Gate. Child's coffee-house in St Paul's churchyard was the resort of the clergy, of the physicians, and of the learned men coming to the early lodging of the Royal Society In Gresham College, hard by. About the Inn of Court were the Grecian. Squire's, Searle's, and others, frequented at an early hour by law students, "some of whom are readie dress'd for Westmin ster at Eight in the Morning, with Faces as busle as if they were retained in every Cause there." Steele. In a charming vein of philosophic raillery, classifies and an alyzes their successive sets of visitors. The coffee houses were not approved by government They were called "semina ries of sedition" and it was said, not with out truth, that they "were used to nour ish rebellion, to spread lies, and to scan dalize great men." The King's order, in 1675, for their suppression no doubt cre ated a prejudice against the domestic use of coffee. It advanced in favor but slow ly. It was denounced as the "sirup of soot, the essence of old shoes," and though no royal pen wrote a counterblast it was preached against with as much zeal as had been used against tobacco. One preacher said of those who used It: "They cannot wait until the smoke of the Infernal regions surrounds them, but en compass themselves with swoke of their own accord, and drink a poison which. God made black that it might boar the devil's own coior." "We think better of coffee nowadays, and cannot condemn its use unless m the quantity by which Hartley Coleridge measured his tea "Cups? I do not count by cups! I count by pots." The Abys feinlans in every physical stress depend upon "coffee-balls." They roast and pul verize the berry, mix the powder with butter, and make it Into balls, an inch in diameter, one of which, on a day's travel, sustains them better than bread or meat. The same principle is potent as an Intellectual stimulus. Sir James Mack intosh u?ed to say, "The diffsrenoe be tween men is the difference in the amount of coffee which they drink, to which as sertion may be added the injunction of J Sidney Smith: ir you want to improve your understanding, drink coffee." Better authority is the expert testimony of our own Dr. Draper, who declares coffee to be, "not merely a fashionable potation, but one of the great civilizing agents. In creasing the power and the Indaaacs of man." The Chinese and Their Emperor, Nowhore are the occupants of the throne mora jealously shielded from the contamination of the popular gaze than In China. To seclude the monarch has been part of the great sham by which the mandarins have deluded the people. For the last hundred years few indeed of the lieges have seen their sovereign's face. If he traverses Pekin the streets are screened with matting to shade the Au gust One from vulgar eyes. The late Em peror Tung Chi. on a famous Occasion re turning from the Temple of Heaven, had the screen removed, and so won Immense popularity. It belongs to the general scheme of humbug to represent the "Car nation City" as all gorgeous within. Na tive fancy pictures "roofs of gold and sil ver vases, in which swim fishes of silver and gold." Inside those arcane enclosures the superior mortals of the imperial hier archy drink the nectar of China, that del icate tea denied to ordinary lips, and pass delighted lives In planning China's weal. Poor John Chinaman, who pays the tax es and bears the burdens. Is supposed to believe all this; but he does nothing of the kind. The Chinese stage and the nov el have made the public pretty familiar with the weary monotony of the secluded absolutism and cloistered Intrigue of the forbidden city. Happily, though Chinese royalty is rarely seen, it is much given to addressing the people, and there Is nothing In Celestial literature half so amusing as these addresses. No other country Is blessed with anything like our Pekin Gazette, as foreigners will persist In calling the King Pao. more correctly tho "Reporter of the Capital." Besides be ing the oldest newspaper extant this wonderful daily issue is court Journal, blue book of the empire, official confes sion sheet, and palace mouthpiece all in one. Here the Emperor does penanco for his 'sins and tho Empress-Dowager pfu rades her goodness; her viceroys and offi cials of every rank confess their short comings and ask for punishment; and here in ceasless flow rolls the titled hy pocrisy of the land; for in China It is the Pharisee that smites upon his breast. Hardly a day passes without some im perial allocution, and of lato the ruling Empress has been laying bare the secrets of her soul. As I fear very few people In England subscribe for this unique and entertaining journal, and many have perhaps never before seen a Celestial ediot as It Issues from the Dragon throne, I send you a strictly literal translation of one that ap peared a few days ago at the risk of ex posing how much I may have traduced this good lady's character. It Is, as you will perceive, a lay sermon to the robbers and brigands to leave off their naughty ways and become good children, and thus it reads: "I. the Empress-Dowager. Tzo-hsl-tuan yu. etc.. desire to issue this decree as an exhortation to my people throughout the empire. Of late all the reports sent to me by the Viceroys and Governors of provinces concerning summary execu tions have mostly referred to robbers and brigands. The ferocity of such men Is, indeed, cause for indignation; but, again, their stupidity moves my heart to pity. Now. the common excuse of these rob bers when caught Is that they have been pushed to rob by hunger and cold, but they never think that In doing so thoy have made themselves amenable to the last penalty, and that they never can es cape with life. Moreover, such men are active and able-bodied. They are never composed of weak and incapable classes. Now, how much better would it not have been for these men to direct their ac tivity and energy to farming and agricul ture to get a livelihood; or. If not. they can easily join the army us soldiers. where they can always have a chance of rising m the social -scale by bravory and dillgonco in their duties. "What a difference- this to being chained and confined In prison! Such being the case, let me ask which of the things mentioned be fore will give a man most chance? More over, as robbers as soon as they are cap tured they engulf their parents and broth ers, wives and children In the general catastrophe. Can they bear the respon sibility all this incurs? "Now, although I am living In the in nermost recesses of the palace. I am yet night and day filled with thoughts for the welfare of my people, and so issue this admonition to my children to consid er their evil ways, and deserve my anx iety for them by becoming good citizens. Let the Viceroys and Governors of prov inces make known this my decree to my people in the empire." Peking Corre spondence London Telegraph, January 11.
