MADRID, Feb, 12.-The Core

with the United States are in progress.
La Epoco, discussing the question
whether the negotiations for treaty of

Washington, decides in favor of the
American capital.
'The American government" the
paper says, ''is better informed on trade
relations between America and Cuba
The only difficulty in the way of a
speedy settlement is the tobacco ques-
ton but, in the view of the good will
which America manifests, it is hoped
that this will not long delay the conclu-
sion of a treaty which will save Cuba
from a serious crisis.

ATLANTA, Feb 12.-At a special meet
ing of the chamber of commerce the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Atlanta chamber of
commerce heartily indorses reciprocity,
and that we congratulate the whole coun-
try, and especially the south, upon the re-
cent success of Mr.. Blaine in that line;
that the Atlanta chamber of commerce be-
lieve it the true policy of the United States
government to enlarge our foreign mar
kets by adopting the principle Of reciproc-
lty with Central and South America and
Canada; that we believe that the connec-
tion of all these countries by better and
swifter means of transportation, both by
land and water, and that the adoption of
a common coinage would advance the in
terests of the people of all the Americas
and help forward civilization and Chris
tianity.

THE CANADIAN CAMPAIGN.


TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 12.-The Globe,
Liberal, says: "Sir John Macdonald's
address to the electors of Canada is as
remarkable for what it omits as for what
it contains. From the beginning to the
end of the formal appeal there is not a
word about reciprocity proposals, which
had been declared to be the reason for
the premature dissolution of parliament.
1t is useless for Sir John to try to OBJ
scure the real question before the coun-
try by prating about his own loyalty, or
flinging charges of annexation and
treason against his opponents. The peo-
pie understand very clearly the question
they are going to decide next March"
The Mail, Independent, says: "The
treason cry, coming from the leader of a
party, is apt to convey the impression to
cooler heads that there is some bad
feature of the situation which it has
been deemed advisable to cover in
storm of patriotic passion. Were the
opposition plotting the overthrow of the
monarchy, and were the plot discovered,
then a good reason for the accusation
would present itself. But so far as can
be seen, the opposition is simply asking
for broad measure of reciprocal trade
with another country. Those who care
fully pursue Sir Johns manifesto will
be surprised to note that it contains no
reference, direct or implied, TO the re-
ciprocity project, upon which the people
have been SO suddenly called to pro-
nounce. 1t does not appear from the
manifesto as it stands, that the premier
looks for a measure of reciprocal trade.
Sir John simply undertakes to place the
enemy on the defensive, in which opera
ton. in view Of the flimsiness of the
treason cry, he is only partially sue
cessful'
The World Tory, says; Sir John
Macdonald's manifesto is such an utter
ance as might at this crisis be expected
from one who stood by the cradle of the
confederation, and shared in the bright
hopes of that time AS a leader of lead
ers. as the central figure in that group
of statesmen whose breadth of purpose
and skill of execution have united
scattered colonies into compact
dominion, he cannot view without emo
ton the movement to undo the labors of
life Behind him the best forces Of
the land are massing. Proud of such a
leader and glorying in so great a cause,
the people of Canada will send up a
chorus on March s. to which the nations
will pause and listen History affords
no precedent that Canada could follow
in accepting a position of commercial
dependency to the United States, nor
with the men, the territory and every
essential of an independent state in
peaceably accepting annexation"
One who is described as "high and
mighty light in the reform camp" is re-
ported by a morning paper to have init
mated that Hon. Wilfred Laurier, the
leader of the Liberals party is in poses
sion of a letter from Secretary Blaine,
in which the latter distinctly refuses to
negotiate with any party in Canada,
but the Reform party, upeA the ques-
ton of commercial union.

Sir Richard Cartwrlghts Views.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 12,-Sir Richard
Cartwright, in an address to the electors
here, referred to the speeches of the four
ministers in Toronto as indicating that
the PARTY did not want to treat with the
United States for reciprocity on grounds
that would be acceptable to the United
States, and in answer to question as to
whether the Liberals favored discrimina-
ton against Great Britain by admitting
American manufactures free and taxing
the manufactures of Great Britain, said,
"Certainly we do, and intimated that it
was more to the interest of Great
Britain that Canada should place herself
in position to pay interest ON tine $780,,
0OO. 600 of British capital inve tied here
than that her interest as trader should
be considered.

From high authority it is learned
within few days arrests on account of
treason, of men now prominent in politi-
cal affairs, will be made. The evidence
on which these arrests will be made is
overwhelmingly direct, and the govern
ment is only awaiting one or two minor
moves before putting the law in motion.
The story has been in circulation that
American greenhacks will be freely dis
tributed in the interest of the Reform
party, especially in Quebec. Sir Johns
friends have been told to be on the look
ont for such an attack.

A TERRIBLE TOMCAT.
He Commits n Vicious and Unprovoked
Assault Upon IA Woman.

tg0m ne New York Times, Cd
Mrs. Annie Wilson, washcrwoman, i5
years old, living at 2707 Third avenue,
had novel and exciting encounter with
fierce tomcat while in the apartments of
William Renncr, tx Fast One Hundred
and Eleventh street, yesterday afternoon.
The assailant tomcat, a monster in size,
has u record for yiciousness. Mr.. Renner
got him from u Mr.. Purdy, who parted
with him after he had vicolisly attacked
and bitten one of the children of his
family.
Since "Tom,n for so he was called, has
been with the Rcnner family he has bit
ten Mrs. Renner and other members of
the household, but Mrs. Renner was 10th
TO part with him, and has continued to
keep him in her house. "Tom" has had
great antipathy to Mrs. Wilson, and has
several times attacked her. but up to yes
terday the woman has always succeeded
in beating him Off.
At about o'clock yesterday, while Mrs.
Wilson was crossing the kitchen floor
with her arms full of wet clothes, the cat
suddenly sprang upon her. with one leap
he fastened himself upon her right upper
arm, which was bare almost to the
shoulder and fastened his teeth and
claws. The woman dropped the clothes
on the floor and attempted to beat off the
Cut, Dut 10 no purpose.
The poor woman, almost beyond her
self with pain and fear, screamed for
help. Mrs. Rennor came to her assistance
and the two women made combined
attack upon tom" Mrs. Renner beat
him with books and sticks, but he would
not let go. Then she stabbed him with a
pair of scissors and that made tom" re-
lease his hold. With groan he dropped
to the floor and skunk away into closet
adjoining the kitchen.
Mrs. Renner shut the door on him and
kept him q prisoner there until Patrolman
Alfred J. Reid of the East Ono Hundred
and Twenty-sixth street police station
arrived Mrs. Renner wanted the cat
killed ut once and the policeman struck
him ON the head with his club and
stunned him. Then he carried the
stunned animal out into the street and
shot him.
Mrs Wilson's arm was terrible sight.
The cat had torn the flesh away in
patches, and the wounds began to inflame
at once. The policeman took the woman
TO Barnes drug store at One Hundred and
Tenth street and Madison avenue, where
the druggist dressed the wounds and
bandaged the arm. Then Mrs. Wilson,
quite unnerved by her experience and
suffering intense pain, went to her home.
