with true gallantry has decided to
give the Queen Regent time to find
ont what she is expected to apologize
for and il she is of the mind OF some
of our naval officers, she will do
anything but apologize for an occur
renee that was right in such times
as these, when Cuba is in rebel
lion and draws her supplies from
the States where she has thousands
of sympathizers. Senator Dale
fayors acquisition Of Cuba by the
United States either by purchase or
conquest. Senator Morgan is of
the same mind, but Senator Lodge
demurs at giving citizenship to the
partlcolored and partly civilized
population of the island. And so
while waiting SPANS investigation
of the Alliance affair, those who
love war and wars alarms look with
interest at the little cloud further
South that may without a moments
warming burst into a storm, for
England has sent her ships to Ven
ezucla with a demand for indemnity
which must by paid in money or
concessions, and as the United
States is pledged to the Monroe
Doctrine and has also ordered ships
to rendezvous in Southern waters to
protect the interest of the Nene-
zuelians there may be serious COM
plications.
The most sensational episode OF
the week was the demand made by
the Secretary of State for the recall
of Dir. Thurston, the Hawaiian
minister, who is also an American,
and who has offended by giving to
the papers matters purely diploma
tic.
The President has provided for
two of the ex-congressmen, Spring
or, of Illinois and Kilgore, of Texas,
making them Judges of the new
Courts Of the Indian territory.
Kilgore is such determined and
forcible person that his Court will
in all probability be one of sensa-
tional and dramatic scenes. Other
rejected Democrats still linger here
and hang around the White house
and Departments looking for some
thing that will save them the ne
ccssity of returning to their con-
stitucnts. The poor member OF
congress were not so much to blame
as the eighteen Senators from the
nine States of Nevada, Colorado,
Wyoming, North and South Dakota,
Montana and Idaho, Oregon AID
Washington who held the balance
OF power in the Senate. The eigh-
teen States lying North of the Pc.
tomac and Ohio rivers and east OF
the Missouri have majority OF
forty six in the house out of a total
membership of $50. While the
above States have a majority in the
Senate in a total membership OF
eighty-eight ard only thirteen mem
bers in the House. While the great
States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois have only eight
Senators but one hundred and seven
representatives. Bills originating
in the House had little favor shown
in the Senate.
The gold reserve of the country
is to be still further depleted. The
French took two million as dover
OF Helen Gould, daughter of Jay
Gould who married the Count Cas-
tiliane, and now the heir to the
Earl of ScarSdale is to marry the
beautiful Mary Letter and with her
a princess dover goes. Letter pere
originated in Washington county,
Maryland and from there went to
Chicago where as one of the firm of
Field and Letter he achieved fame
and fortune. Having retired from
business he came here and built a
colonial mansion of white stone on
Dupont circle. The daughters of
the family are all lovely and very ac-
complished, while the good hearted
but illiterate mother is the Mrs.
MalaprOp of society.
Further inroads on our securities
are threatened by the arrival of the
