that privilege because of great party
steal.
His speech in reference 10 the proceed
ings had at Washington in the matter oil
seating the senators from Montana is
calculated 10 mislead the public from the
actual facts of the case. He said that ls
democratic senators had refused 10 vote
in favor Of seating Clark and Maginnis,
and that IL he could not convince his own
party that his claim was just he would
have stayed at home. This brought forth
much applause from the republicans, and
some of them, who had not followed him
closely, understood him 10 say that
Is democratic senators at Washing
ton voted in favor OF seating the
republicans. Sanders and Power, but even
Sanders would not be guilty OF making
such statement TO an audience OF that
kind. Ii is well known here that some Of
the democratic senators were OF the opln-
ion that neither set OF senators were duly
elected and would not vote in favor Of
seating any Of them, and il is also known
that three republican senators failed TO
support Sanders, and Powers, claim for
seats.
His speech was eloquent and well
worhed and because Of the speakers
great eloquence was pleasant to listen TO,
but he did not make any great hits for his
party.

PHlLIPsBuRG, Oct D.-Whcn Mr..

likened the democratic party to a lot Of

in his desperate race Of explanation and
apology long enough TO have glanced
Phllipsburg way yesterday and to-day,
aud could he have seen the reception
given W. w. Dixon he would have thought
that there was at least few pretty heavy

The Drummond train, having aboard
Mr.. Dixon aud Mr.. Pemberton. arrived a,
the Philipsburg depot at / 10 y. m. and
was decorated with flags and banners
from the engine 10 the last car. Almost
every available team and carriage in this

long procession, headed by the Granite
band, paraded the principal streets.
The distinguished gentlemen were
entertained while here by James Il.
Risque and after n short rest proceeded
10 Granite, still accompanied by the band
and long line OF carriages. The Knights
OF Labor hall proved 10 he altogether too
small, and there were fully 200 men who
failed to gain admit,ance. Everybody
was agreeably surprised i'm Mr.. Dixon,
as II had been given out by
republicans and uncontradicted by demo-
crats that he was not an orator, but in
the opinion Of all who heard him here,
he made the best speech and used the
most convincing and gentlemanly lam
guage of any speaker who has yet visited
this part of the country so far in the cam.
paign.
Mr.. Pcmberton followed aud held the
interested and delighted audience until
IL o'clock.
Mr.. Dixon, while at Granite, was the
guest of Superintendent Wier and at 2
O'Clock to-day he was brought 10 Philips

CUBA WANTS RECIPROCITY.

They say.


WAsHGNGToS, Oct. 3O.-The department
OF state has received a copy Of a petition
forwarded by the tobacco growers and
cigar manufacturers union Of Cuba 10 the
Spanish government urging negotiation
OF n reciprocity treaty between Cuba and
the United States. The petitioners assert
that they are confronted with the simple
problem on one side Of ruin, stagnation
aud misery, and on the other with abund-
ance of wealth aud promising future.
They say that the United States buys from
Cuba tobacco and sugar to the extent Of
Sal,pO,0OO. For that market they demand
reciprocal concession or which is the
same thing, exemption for their -four,
lard, machinery, hardware and other ar
ticles in our tariff, TO increase exports 10
this island. In one word, they want 10
pay us for the tobacco aud sugar they con-
stme with goods they produced. To-day
they only sell us 100000 or Sl2,UoOo,
and they desire TO increase this amount to
Sl,m0,0O that they buy from US. This is
what the Mckinley bill amounts 10.

DIR. JUsTlN's NV SHELL.
His Experiment Yesterday Proved Very
Successful.


Urea, N. Y, Oct. 9.-Another expert
ment with Justin's dynamite cartridge
was made in private to-day. The shell
was similar TO the one used the last time,
excepting II was bored out OF solid steel
and had no blow holes and was instead
Of u Of an inch in thickness. A cotton
Biakely rifle was used, similar 20 that
burst in the previous experiment. The
shell weighed 275 pounds and contained
nine pounds of sand. Instead OF dyna-
mite the charge was 10 pounds OF hexa-
gonal powder.
The shell was fired into sand bank AT
a distance Of 30 yards and recovered
almost intact. The shell was opened and
justified the correctness of Justin's
theory Of the late explosions. Another
tes, will be made with the same shell and
on the third test dynamite will again be
used.
