GAY WEEK FOR BOSTON.
Elaborate Plans to Entertain the

Elaborate Plans to Entertain the
Knights TempIars.
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 22.-Prepar-
atoms for the triennial conclave of
Knights Templar of the United
States are being made Observation
stands are appearing by the score
along the line Of the great parade
and hundreds of decorators are en-
gagged in hanging bunting, flags and
emblems on buildings and residences.
The electrical display will out-do
anything of the kind ever seen in
New England. The floral decora-
tons in the public gardens will be
one Of the features of the city's dec
Grafton. Here two handsome floral
arches are being erected, and a
hundred Masonic emblems in flowers
and plants are being arranged.
Tuesday, the day of the great pa
rade, in which it is estimated near
ly 10000 knights will participate, will
be the great day of the week, and if
the weather is fair it is believed
over 100000 visitors will be in the
New England will be run to Boston,
and banks, public offices and most of
the large business houses will close
for the day. Places Of vantage along
the line of march are being taken
rapidly at from 81 to $40. The SOM
mittee arranging for the parade pre-
diets it will be one of the grandest
pageants ever seen. There will be
over 800 horses in line, 100 bands
will participate, and scores of unique
features are promised by knights
from different parts Of the country.
There will be only a few business
sessions of the conclave, and the
week will be given up mainly to
pleasure. Excursions and recep-
lions almost without number have
been arranged, and it is estimated
that Boston will spend over $500, 900
in entertaining her guests.

rect. The Chronicle says: sit is
rumored from a good source that the
ameer has forbidden the Shahzada to
return until he has secured Great Brit
aims consent that the ameer shall
be Automatically represented at Lon
don. He desires to deal directly with
the government, instead of through
the viceroy of India. This impossible
demand is supposed to explain the
Shahzada's long stay"
According to information obtained a
few weeks ago. the Sha visited
the queen at Windsor castle and per-
sonally Informed her majesty that it
was the ameer's desire to be diplomat
ically represented at London instead
of dealing with the British govern
ment through the viceroy of India.
The Shahzada expected an immediate
answer, but her majesty replied that
she could not decide without consult
ing her ministers. Last week the Shah
zada received a definite refusal. and
me situation now is unpleasant if not
serious, as the refusal amounts to a.
shuo to the ameer and it is thought
lnis may affect the relations between
great Britain and Afghanistan. The
ohahzada, however, starts for home
via Paris next week.

SUBSIDY GRABBERS READY.

One of the first projects to come I'D
IN the next congress will be the
proposition to have the United States
grant an annual subsidy of a quar-
ter of a million dollars to aid in the
construction and maintenance of a
submarine cable between the United
States and Hawaii. The enterpris-
ing gentlemen who contemplate this
raid on Uncle Sans purse have be-
gun well by securing a contract with
the Hawaiian government. Under
TINS they have an exclusive fran
chise for twenty years, and the Ha-
Waiian government is to pay an
annual subsidy of $4,000 The whole
enterprise is dependent upon getting
the United States to bear the lions
share of it's cost. Three years are al
lowed for completing the line; after
which the contract, if unfulflled, will
lapse. This is simply the old scheme
of persuading the United States to
guarantee the cost and losses of a
private business. There is no pos
sible benefit in sight for us in the
construction of q cable between San
Francisco and Honolulu which
would warrant us in engaging to pay
a total of $5,oOO,cOG on it's account.
If there exists any commercial neces-
sity for such a line, capital for the
purpose will be forthcoming. If it
is desirable for national purposes.
then the proper course is for the gov
eminent to lay the cable, pay all the
expenses, and own and operate the
line.
No excuse and no defense can be
offered for a proposition which
amounts simply to a government
guarantee of a private enterprise
against failure. The success of the
Nicaraguan canal jobbers has slim
ulated, naturally, a lot of other
schemes of similar import This is
the foremost of them all. Taking
advantage of the sentiment existing
IN some quarters for the annexa-
ton Of Hawaii, the cable promoters
have fixed UP another Job ont of
which they hope TO turn a pretty
penny for themselves. It is probable

DANGER OF SPAIN LOSING CUBA
FAST BECOMING AP-
PARENT.
QUICK ACTION NECESSARY.
SOMETHING MUST BE CONCEDED
IN THE DIRECTION OF AU-
TONOMY.
CAMPAIGN OF DISASTERS.
Movement for Annexation to the
United States May Soon Be-
come Irresistible.

LONDON, Aug 22-The Havana
correspondent of the Times, writing
of the gravity of the situation there,
urges the necessity of large conces-
sions in the direction of autonomy,
or else even loyal Cubans will drift
into disloyalty. "The only alterna-
tive is a costly campaign in men and
money, followed by the occupation
of the island by $4,000 men for dec
ade. Gen. Campos only opened his
eyes, after the fight at Bayamo on
July II, to the fact that the insur-
gents were armed, disciplined, and
provided with ammunition. With
out the havoc which yellow fever
and dysentery have played and will
play with the troops arriving in this
sickly region, the constant and aim
less marching and countermarching
of the last three months would itself
have sufficed to invalid men by the
wholesale, without help from cpl
demic disease. A remarkable char
acteriStic in the spread of the re-
bellion is the higher strata of So
ciety now Joining the insurgent
ranks. Gen. Campos has tried to
treat with the rebels and has failed;
he has tried to suppress them, and
has failed; he has tried to patch up
a reconciliation, and has generally
failed. The rebels have been quick
to profit by his mistakes. A three
years campaign will cost Spain
Giving autonomy will be bitter
pill, but unless it is swallowed en-
bryo the movement for annexation
to America may gather strength I'M
til it becomes irresistible. 1 am I'M
able automatically to discover the
sources of the rebel funds. Very
little is obtained in Cuba. I am as
sured from revolutionary sources
that the Cuban colonies at Key
West, Fla, subscribe $1,000 to $4,000
weekly to the revolutionary COM
mittee in New York, but I doubt
whether it is paid with regularity"
SUICIDAL FOLLY.
In an editorial on the foregoing the
Times says: 1.-The failure of Campos
to suppress the rebellion has caused
bitter disappointment in Madrid. We
sympathize heartily with Spain's pa
triotfc determination to hold Cuba at
any sacrifice, and we admire her en-
ergy, however misdirected, in resist
ing projects for further disintegration,
and plots concocted in foreign coun-
tries to foment rebellion among her
subjects. AT the same time it is sui
cidal folly for a nation obstinately to
refuse to look facts in the face. Eng
lishmen have no desire to see Cuba
separated from Spain. The movement
for annexation to America is opposed
by most intelligent and Independent
Americans of all parties, and for OBJ
vious political reasons annexation to
America would be regarded with lit
tie favor by British statesmen. We
should be well pleased if Spain were
able to arrive at a practical settlement
with her rebellious subjects, but that
demands a quality of craftsmanship
far higher than has yet been dis
played, and if Gen. Campos is to gain
a victory he must show greater energy
and ingenuity than hitherto

Senator Henderson, in his argument
for the sugar bounty before Comp

dent of the days just preceding the
war, when Greeley was urging peace
full separation and the question of the
constitutional right of coercion was a
topic of general discussion. "In Phila-
delphia," the senator said, Il met a col
ored barber, one of the most intelligent
men with whom [ have ever been ac-
quainted, and who has since died, leav-
ing large fortune. He asked me at
once whether l had been at Washing
ton. I replied that I had just come
from the city"
''Was there any talk about the con-
constitutional right of coercion was
WAS there any talk about the con-
stitutional right of the government to
coerce seeding states?" he asked.
There was nothing else talked
about" 1 replied.
What is your opinion as lawyer
on the subject, Mr.. Manderson?" he
said.

mind myself upon the question, and
queried in turn: what do you think
about it?''

to me just like this: Supposing that
you and I were just now on the
Schuylkill river in a boat of such pc
culiar construction and SO evenly bal
anced that should one of us leave it
the boat would be overturned and
drown the other / do not question
your right to jump overheard if you
want to, nor do you probably question
my right, but 1 just as little question
your right, if 1 attempted to jump
overheard, to grab me around the
waist and hold me-, in order that both

MISSOURI RECRUITS.
Prominent Citizens Working for
Cuban Cause.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. pa
local paper prints the following:
Headquarters were opened in this city
this afternoon looking toward the sue
cess of an expedition already partially
organized in behalf of the freedom of
Cuba. The nucleus of the expedition
consist of 100 picked men, who are
ready to go at any time The method
of procedure is secret, but the lead
ers, all of whom are prominent, say
there exists no doubt about the trans
fer of the men to the island. -
Orville Shelby, son of Fighting Gen.
Joe Shelby, is said to be at the head
of the movement. He and a few of
his closest friends, it is learned, held
a meeting last night lasting until 8
o'clock this morning, at which plans
for carrying out the expedition were
earnestly discussed. The following
named gentlemen are said to have
been present and to have participated
in the conference: Ex-ASsistant Pros
ecuting Attorney L. A. j. Mastin, 3.
G. Crosby, OF Butler, Mo-, son of Rear
Admiral Crosby, U. S. N; J. R. Rus
sell Lincoln, distantly related to the
late president; C. Breckenridge, of
Palmyra, Mo-, related to the dis
tinguished Confederate general of that
name, and others.
Every effort was made to throw the
cloak of secrecy about the meeting.
Just what transpired could not be
fully ascertained, but it is known that
the organization scheme was fully
matured. Diagrams and maps of the
island, and kilograms and letters
showing direct communication with
Thomas Estrada Palma, who has
Cuban headquarters for this country in
New York, were submitted
Orville Shelby, in a published inter-
view, admits that the expedition is
being organized and says the party
will soon leave for the seat of war.

free coinage plank was adopted after
a severe contest in the committee on
platform, and carried on the-fioor of

for to 1896 against it. This year,
the question, and when the whole
contest was conferred on the point
after an eruption of pamphlets such
as no other question ever elected,
the proposition was defeated by
vote of 27O yeas to 525 nays. If any
