Consul General Williams.

He Objects to Spain's Attitude Toward
Consul General Williams.
New York, Oct. ia special to the
World from Washington says:
The excited dispatches Of yesterday
from Madrid are explained by facts re-
vealed here to-day.
What this government has done mas
been to formally notify the Spanish
government that the action recently
taken by 1t in Havana is in violation Oh
the treaty rights Of this country, and
that for any damage to American citi-
Gems or American dignity arising there
from Spain will be held responsible.
The Spanish minister of the colonies
instructed General Campos to inform
Mr. Williams that henceforth he would
not be recognized as possessing any
authority to transact business with the
governor general of Cuba upon other
than commercial matters. General
Campos sent for Mr.. Williams recently
and communicated to him the instruc-
tions from Spain.
Secretary Olney straightway pre-
pared n state paper in which he disa-
greed entirely with the conclusion of
the Spanish minister.
The action of the latter was based on
the consul treaty existing between
Spain and the United States.
From this treaty, signed in 1700, con-
sular officers did not receive authority
to cover any diplomatic questions. The
treaty with Spain, however, specifies
that the United States consular officers
shall have all the rights and privileges
of "the most favored nations"
This affords the basis for Secretary
Olney's demand. The German govern
ment has consular treaty with Spain,
in which consuls and the consul gener-
al may act as diplomats, If circum-
stances demand.
Secretary Olney informs Senior CanO-
vas that the United States demands that
his government concede the same privi-
leges to the United States consul gener
al that are given to the consul general
Of Germany.
The language of Secretary Olney's
dispatch is said to be peremptory.
Should an American citizen be arrested
at Havana and subjected to trial by
court martial, or should any case arise
that calls for prompt action by the con-
sui general, the refusal Of the local gov
ernment to recognize him might lead to
disastrous results.

taken by Judge Ross, there is no relief
to be obtained in the premises through
suit in equity. 1t is held that If the
liability exists it is purely creature
Of statute" the question before the
court being entirely one Of interpreta-
tion of the law. The usual privileges
for the amendment of the complaint
and the rearguing of the case were Of
fered the counsel for the government,
but it was stated that the governments
attorneys would not take advantage OF
the offer. 1t is understood that the case
will be appealed at once to the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
The court held that the liability OF
the stockholders of the Central could
not be different from those of the Union
Pacific, and had there been consolida-
ton Of the two companies the debt
could not have been collected from the
stockholders, and what would apply to
them then applied now.

NEW RAILROAD SCHEME.
An Incorporation Plans to Build New
Line to Cripple Creek.

An Incorporation Plans to Build New
Line to Cripple Creek.
Denver, Oct. 14.-Articles of incor-
poraton of the Denver & Colorado
Southern Railroad were filed with the
secretary of state yesterday, says the
Republican this morning. The capital
stock of the company is placed at ST.
OOO, 1000 and the incorporators are Eben
Smith, S. W. Dorsey, John G. Montgom-
cry, Robert Fl. Reid and James T..
Gregg. 1t is the aim, the projectors
state, to connect Denver and the Grip
pie Creek mining region, Florence, Can
on City and Silver Cliff by an air line
road with easy grades, and also to pro-
vide terminal facilities in this city for
the Midland Terminal and Florence &
Cripple Creek lines.
1t Is said to be practical by consol-
idation of the Midland Terminal, Flor
cnce & Cripple Greek and the new line
for business purposes and to make
them Independent of lines with which
they are now compelled to make traf-
fic arrangements. At least this Is what
those who are back of the project say.
They state it to be their object to give
the Cripple Creek district more direct
connection with Denver, and to bring
the business now going to other points
to this city. Their route they claim to
be at least sixty miles shorter than the
Midland, and with grades nothing like
those on that road. They state that,
under their present plan there will be
only thirty-two miles of road to build
to complete the system, which will give
the lines now running into the mining
district terminals of their own in this
city and enable them to take an inde-
pendent hand in the competition for
traffic.
The plan contemplates trackage ar
rnngements with the South Park over
its line from Denver to Symes. where
the South Park leaves the South Platte
River. Thence the new line is to con-
tinue to follow the Platte to the mouth
Of Trout Creek and up that stream,
through South Park to Divide, where
the terminus of the Midland Terminal
is located. A third rail is to be laid on
the South Park road to Symes and the
new system made broad gauge through
out. The projectors state that the pros
poets are bright for the early building
Of the road.

Oxen or Horses.


At the Maine State Fair there are 90
entries Of matched oxen and 81 pairs OF
work oxen. This beats electricity and
bicycles. but Maine farmers will never
make the progress they should In this
enlightened day and age until they
adopt good draft horses for the farm.
good draft mares to work and raise
colt every year. as the French and Eng
lish farmers do. These draft colts al
ways bring more money than oxen, and
the mares and maturing colts will do
more and better work than the oxen.-
Western Live Stock Journal.
The editor Of the above paper evident
ly does not know what he is talking
about. He tries to Judge Eastern con-
ditions by Western methods. Oxen
would be quite out Of place on Western
farms. but on most Maine farms they
are essentially in place, and will always
remain a prominent feature Of Maine
agriculture.

and loss is avoided. The retention OF
oxen on Maine farms is not sign OF
stupidity on the part of Maine farmers.
1t is a question of the survival Of the fit
test There are both horses and oxen
on those farms, and as the two are
brought into close competition the
farmer has a good opportunity to OBJ
serve both, and in the course Of few
years he decides that for general work
oxen are the most valuable. A popular
combination there, for small farms. is
a yoke Of oxen and one horse. When
a large load is to be hauled, the oxen are
hitched onto the wagon, and the horse
put in ahead, the whiffletree being
hooked into a ring on the end Of the
tongue of the ox-cart. This IL . IA
vorite method for use in the hay field
and in the wood lot. For the West.
