MADRID, September John w.

fortnight at the Royal Palace Of La
Granja de San lldefonso. He had fire.
quent interviews with Senior Elduayen,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the
subject of the proposed new CONNER
cial treaty between Spain and the
United States. 1t is understood that
though the treaty was not signed, an
agreement was reached between the
representatives Of the two Governments
by which the reciprocity provisions
contained in the former treaty were
abandoned. The new treaty is confined
to reforms in the Cuban customs laws.
Spain accepts the Interpretation of the
modus risendi signed in February,
1884, which was contended for by the
United States. The settlement Of the
claims Of American citizens against the
Spanish Government arising from in
surrectioDs in Cuba is provided for.
Minister Foster will embark for home
the latter part Of September. His alb
sence will be much regretted in politi-
cal and social circles.

The sestry adjourned at late hour
last night, but accomplished nothing
leading to settlement Of the matter.
Two members Of the vestry are absent
from the city. as is also Bishop Beck
with. Mr.. Shook, vcstrymsn, said
to me tonight: - Il can't tell what will
be done. Even if DR.. Armstrong should
tender his resignation. we could not ac-
cept it now. Things are in a muddle
and will remain so until the Bishop
returns. / can't say what he will do.
Or. Armstrong acted very strangely in
Cincinnati, and even if he was hunting
for niece who had gone astray, he
acted indiscreetly. Much sympathy is
expressed for him and his family.
Hundreds Of ladies and gentlemen have
been in to see me about it to-day"
Nothing will be done for the present.

THE IOWA yACKANAPEs.

Chicago News: When the news Of
Gen. Logan's election to the United
states senate reached Des Moines, To-,
the following telegram, signed, as the
report says, by "a number Of republic
ans" Of that city, was sent To the presi-
dent Of the United States:
ITO :. GROVER CLEVELAND, Wash
ington ID. c.: The republicans of Iowa
send compliments to your excellency
and congratulate you on the beneficial
results Of your dispatch to Illinois:
Send anyone but Logan Thank God,
the republicans of our sister state de-
light to honor the man who will beat
you i'm 1885,"
This message is a specimen of the
low, coarse insults which men Of worth
have To bear from creatures to whom
refinement is unknown. There can be
no question as to its authorship.
Through the thin guise of "a number
Of republicans" the handiwork of J. ,.
ClarksOn Is plainly visible. What he
hoped to accomplish by his insolence we
cannot conjecture. What he has accom-
plished is manifest. lie has simply pa
raded himself as vulgar jackanapes
and called public attention to the con-
temptible dimensions of his mind.

Globe livestock Journal: There Is
some complaint that all the Texas herds
that get into New Mexico, have not
passed inspection. Arizona also speaks
ont and says that Texas cnttle shall not
enter the territory without clean bill Of
health. With all the hemming In Of
the Texas beef, they are held mt high
figures In that country, and buyers
must pay every cent an animal Is worth.
That Is nothing to object to, but II only
shows that the Texans are not overly
anxious IN sell. Just what they intend
20 do with their surplus will be found
out in time, and in no other way, for IL
they know, they say nothing about it.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

The senate committee on Indian af-
fairs is now at work at Muskogee in the
Creek nation. The most important
question, other than the sale Of the Ok
lahoma and Cherokee strips, will be
citizenship. The Indians claim that
their territory is being overrun by whites
claiming Indian blood. Many hundreds
have been declared intruders and or
dered to leave, but the interior depart
ment has interfered and prevented their
eiectment. The proposed sale or lease
Of the western portion Of the Cherokee
territory is being warmly discussed.
An outright sale is generally apparent.
a communication signed by many of
the leading Cherokees has been sent to
the president, asking him to defer send
ing n special committee to negotiate for
the purchase of that section until after
the election OF the new legislature i'm
August, so that the measures may be
brought before the people and delibera-
ted upon during the campaign. Al
though no decided stand has yet been
taken by the leaders of the five tribes
who must unite ON a decision. Bushy-
head, the principal chief of the Chero-
KEGS. and G.. NJ. Poorman. chief of the
Creeks, are for the sale and McCurtain.
governor of the ChOctaws, is also said
70 be in sympathy with them.

A STRIKE THREATENED.

Last Monday the iron manufacturers
and theAmalgamated association whi, h
had been in session since last Friday.
adjourned without reaching any settle
ment. The association proposed TO ac-
cept 10 per cent. reduction, but the
manufacturers demanded further con-
cessiOns which were refused, and the
conference, which met at Pittsburg, Pa.
adjourned sine die with the above re-
suit.
A general strike on the first Of June
now seems unavoidable Both sides ap-
pear determined to hold ont and a bitter
struggle is anticipated.
The officers OF the association claim
that a number Of mill owners will accept
their scale and continue their mills in
operation. This is denied by the mas
tiers who assert that they were never as
strongly united as at present. Secre-
tary Martin Of the association said:
Perfect harmony prevailed but the
manufacturers wanted too much. In
the interest OF peace the workers COM
mittee made concession after conce. /.
sion until finally they were compelled
70 refuse any more changes"
Concluding Mr.. Martin said the iron
workers would stand out forsix months

4 FAVORABLE REPORT.

DIR. Il. ii. Paaren, Illinois state veter-
marian, after having made a tour of
the pleuro-pneumonia infected districts
Of Missouri, declines to give the details
of the result of his investigation as he
has not reported to the governor, but
enough is learned from him to warrant
the assertion that the situation is not
near so bad as at first reported.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear on Governor Oglesby to have him
relax somewhat his restrictions regard
ing the receipt of cattle from Missouri
in the state, and DIR. Paaren's report will
undoubtedly have the effect of causing
the governor to modify the present rules
10 a large degree.

MORE ABOUT LOCUSTs.

A disDatch from Washington by Prof.
Reilly says that the seventeen year 10
Gusts, whose visit he has predicted, are
harmless to growing crops and do no
injury except to the twigs of forest and
fruit trees. Wherever young orchards
have been planted on land which has
been cleared during the last seventeen
years, the trees are liable to suffer
somewhat, but it is probable that kerc-
sene spray upon the trees will protect
them. The ordinary locust, which is so
destructive to growing crops, has jaws
which cut, while the seventeen years
species, more properly called the cicada,
has only beak through which he sucks
his nourishment.

san Francisco Call: The startling
statement has obtained circulation
among the best Informed politicians
that n secret and highly confidential
agent " President Cleveland has been
IN San Francisco for two months col
lectlng reliable information about the
condition Of democratic affairs here
and the relative merits Of the rival fac
tions and leaders. The confidential
agent has Ostcnsibly been look
ing after the business OF a prominent
New York firm, but In reality has been
looking into the political question in a
way which thePacinc coast ambassadors

II Is thought accounts for the remarka-
lie knowledge OF Callfornia's politics
which the president displayed to the
Rstonished committees that have wait

POLITICAL CLIPS

O@~A AOhL OA~AA a.
Those whom the politicians would
destrop they enter for a preliminary
race.
Gen. Sam. Cary predicts that Ohio
will cast 10000 prohibition votes next
fall.
What Malone needs is a fresh grin,
and judging from present indications,
that Is just what he hasn't time 10 ask.
The Democratic leaders i'm Illinois
can now afford to take a tripto Europe.
They have demonstrated the fact that
they are not fit to be leaders.
Mr.. Oberly, the inspector of Indian
schools, has started for the west, and
the first Indian class in reading will
please toe the crack in the floor.
Not to be behindhind, the Saratoga,
IN. " Eagle dominates ex-Presitent
Arthur for governor of New York and
Senator Evarts for president in 1888.
The republicans of Illinois have re-
elected Logan to the senate. This may
be taken it the nature of hint to the
republicans of Main touching Blaine.
Senators VanWyck, of Nebraska and
Sabin Of Minnesota are republicans to
whom Cleveland is looking to aid the
democrats in confirming his appoint
ments, according to the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Secretary Manning and Postmaster
General Villas are the yoke fellows of
the administration. 1t is highly graft
flying to hear that they are a team in
whom the president takes especial
pride and satisfaction.
For an old bachelor President Cleve-
land exhibits fine taste in his selections
for the offices. According to reports
nearly every man appointed to a lead
ing position has wife OF daughter who
is 1.-THE most beautiful woman in Wash
ington."
When Congressman Scott of Erie was
told by Secretary of State Bayard to file
the papers of one of his constituents who
was an applicant fora consulshlp, he re-
piled that he had filed check for S25,-
600 last fall to help elect the admins
tration, and that was all the papers he
intended to file.
The democratic party handles the
reins Of government under circumstan-
ces that make its position somewhat
analogous to that of a man in a new
pair Of shoes. They are not so comfort
able as old ones, but he feels with the
philosophic darky that it is "a heap bet
ter dan gwine bar footed"
The faces of republican editors are
trying hard to stretch into smiles at the
democratic administration. But their
awful struggles risk the danger of lock
jaw, and even IL they are saved from
such bodily anguish they only bear a
sickly, malarious look that will warn
off all observers. Such Is republican
politics.
Mr.. Carl Schurz long ago lost caste
among republicans. If he had not his
pamphlet upon THE New South
would place him beyond expiration. He
thinks the negroes are about as well
treated as they deserve, that the young
generation of southerners is liberal
progressive and well informed, and that
the industrial prospects of the whole
south are full OF rich promise.

J. C. SPOONER.

Colonel Jshn G. Spooner, Of Hudson,
the Republican candidate for Uaitsd
States Senator in place Of Angas Gamer
on, was elected yesterday by the legisla-
tare for che term Of six years beginring
March 4th next. The Senator-elect in
man full of youthful vigor and has Just
passed into his forties. He is possessed
of the br4ins aud capacity to ably repre-
sent Wisconsin ia the Senate of the
United States and will take rank with
the best speakers in that body. Netwith-
standing the Arm support given to Gen.
Fairchild by portion of the Republicans
the contest ended, happily, without any
feeling Of luminosity among the friends of
shs rival candidates. Whatever differ
enees may have existed, however, during
the canvass all should now be allayed, for
there is every reason for believing that
Colonel Spooner will prove worthy of the
high position he has attained and while
being guided by the principles Of the
Republican party will watch with faith>
fulness the best interests OF the entire
people.
