SPAlN'S WAR CLOSING.
Tt Is Said To Have Cost the Riffians Hun
dreds of Lives.

Madrid, November 9.-It is announced
here today that the Sultan of Morocco
has acceded to the Spanish demands for
reparation for the attacks on Melilla by
the Rifians. The Sultan, it is said has
sent 1000 horsemen under command of
his most trusted chief to the Riffians or
dering them to cease hostilities against
the Spanish. If the Riffians refuse to
obey, the Sultan will send an army to en-
force the order. Spain will maintain
defensive attitude until she is assured of
complete satisfaction.
In view of the pacific assurances of
the Riffians and the expected interference
of the Sultan, a truce was declared. The
Riffians demanded that hostilities be
suspended until next Wednesday, when
arrangements might be made for per-
manent peace. General Macias, com
mander at Melilla, declined to grant the
extension, and unless the Rifians should
surrender at noon today, he said
he would resume the cannonade.
The truce ended at noon, and the forts
and gunboats resumed cannonading the
Riffian trenches. 1t is reported that 300
Riffians were killed and 1000 wounded in
the recent trench fighting.

FAST TIME, CONSIDERING.
Direotum and Flying Jib Fail to lower

Hartford, Conn, November 9.-About
1000 people gathered at Charter Oak Park
today to see Directum and Flying Jib
make try at their records. Some wind
was blowing, the air was rather chilly
and the track not in the best condition.
Considering these things, remarkably
fast time was made. Directum was said
to be, to fine form, and when Driver

going at a record clip. without once
getting off his srtide, he sailed around the

did not quite do it, however The time

of iron which we chronicled Immediate

suit OF fear that values, which had ad-

number of sources indicate. there is
feeling that buyers who have been pre-

Boss McKane Likely to Learn Something
of Prison Life.

Boss McKane Likely to Learn Something
of Prison Life.
New York, November 9-The Herald
in an article on John Y. McKane's out
rageous performances at Gravesend,
says:
John Y. McKane is now q free man.
He sat at his desk in his Office in Brook
lyn all day yesterday, and when evening
came,he entered train and returned to
his kingdom by the sea. But he should
not be free man. There is only one
place where he belongs. That place is
behind the prison bars. For this dough-
ty boss" of Gravesend, this pillar in
the church and superintendent in the
Sunday school, has committed crime.
In defying the will of the Supreme
Court, for instance, and preventing the
service of an injunction order issued by
that august judicial authority he made
himself guilty of contempt. His plea
that he did not see the Injunction order
and had no official knowledge of it will
not count for moment in law. 1t was
legally served upon him when Col. Ba-
con forced him to refuse to take it, after
informing him of its nature. For this
McKane may be sentenced to years.
imprisonment and to pay fine of $500.
In the second place, McKane is Grim
inal for his violation of the ballot reform
law, which gives authority for reasona-
bic number of challengeTs to witness the
election outside of the guard rail of the
booths. McKane violently assaulted and
drove away the duly authorized men
who went there with Col. Bacon for that
purpose.
For this he is subject to imprisonment
for a term not less than six months or
more than than three years and to fine
of from $3.50 to $4,000.
He is again liable to the law for having
kept Col. Bacon and his men outside Of
the $50 feet limit, knowing them to be
duly accredited officials.
When the lawyers get their heads clear
OF election excitement and settle down
to review McKane's action thoroughly,
there will be developed another legal
moose by which the ''boss'' may be
shared and brought to we'll merited
punishment.
Col. Bacon and each of his compan-
ions who were victims OF the disgraceful
assault of election day have unassailable
grounds for action for assault, and the
fact that they were assaulted while act
ing in an official capacity may serve,
when the law books are looked through.
to make him amenable to a still severer
law.
A committee of private citizens, rep
resenting several branches of business
and professional life, and made UP ey-
enly of Republicans and Democrats, met
last night in Brooklyn and devised
means for general public movement
against the defiant 'sboss.' This meet
ing is one of no small moment. 1t is
representative of deep sense of shame
which McKanes actions have aroused
throughout Kings county. These men
who stand for the citizens in this matter
are not the men to let the grass grow
under their feet. They are active and
energetic men, who have proved their
ability by business successes. There is
no doubt that they will promptly call
McKane before the bar of Justice.

taught that he mad changed masters but
not burdens. Now the voters have re-
volted against the new master.
The Times says: Not Mr.. Cleveland
has been rebuffed, but Tammany Hall
and Senator Hill. The old-fashioned
conscience of Europe will rejoice that
the verdict went against the novel form
of political morality represented by the
Maynard candidature. The result will
