Cuban Leaders Dlsaffscted.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The
World will say tomorrow: The
New York representatives of the
insurgents in Cuba have seriously
disagreed, and if arrangements can
be made with the Mexican govern
ment, Secretary Quesado will make
his headquarters in Mexico City.
Civil delegate, usually called
president) President Palma, Trea-
surer Guerra and Antonio Golas
constitute one faction; Secretary
Gonzalo De Quesada, HOratio
Rubens, the junta's legal adviser,
Leon Benoit, his assistant and DR..
Sanguilly, the recently elected
minister of foreign affairs, form
the other faction. 1t is said these
seceders accuse President Palma of
being too conservative and too
close in money matters.

Kimberly was to cement English
as against Russian influence. The
United States declined Lord Kim
berly's overture and as a result the
Russians have been free to execute
their broad plan OF bringing the
eastern world under the influence
of the car.
Several, Interesting eastern events
are to occur shortly. On Nov. 8,
the first installment of 50,000,000
taels on the Japanese war indem-
nifty is due. Russia has already
deposited the money in China but
a grave question has arisen wheth-
er China, having the money, will
pay it to Japan. One faction de-
mands that part Of 1t be retained
for China's home needs with an ex-
tension of debt to Japan. Russia
insists that the full sum shall be
paid to Japan. 1t appears also
from an official report received
here dated the latter part OF Aug
ust, that LII Hung Chang is again
in disfavor and that the leaders OF
the ignorant native factions are
uppermost. The viceroy Of Nam
kin is the head of the opposition
to Lii and the reports reaching of
ficials here show that this Nan
kin viceroy is the new power
in China. A purely nominal
title of imperial chancellor has
been conferred upon Ii, but 1T has
no power or duties. 1t has been
found that Lii is the only man
capable of negotiating the new
commercial treaty with Japan and
he has been named for this duty.
A serious hitch has occurred in the
treaty owing to the Japanese de-
mand that Japanese courts shall
have extra territorial jurisdiction
in China, while no such Chinese
courts are to be allowed in China.
This is a humiliation which the
Chinese resent. But these questions
of treaty, indemnity, ETC., are re-
garded as subordinate in import
ance to the larger question of Rus
STA supplanting British influence.

An Australian Cup Challenger

LONDON, Sept. 81. - Herbert
Moir, who is organizing a syndi-
cate to built yacht to sail for the
Americas cup, is the head Of a
large western Australian corpora
ton with headquarters in London.
Moir said in an interview today:
81 have long wished to build a
yacht to compete for the Americas
cup. / wrote the challenge which
was published first in the Finan-
cial News of last week. Since then
Rose has challenged for the cup.
The boat will be a fin keel craft
and will be built somewhat similar
to the lines of Brittania. Accept
ance of Roses challenge for the
Americas cup will preclude the
possibility of my racing in 1896,
but / shall have my yacht ready
for 1897. The challenge will be
sent to the United States soon."

Polish Church Fight,

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-There was a
ree-for.all-fght in the basement of
st. Hedwig's Catholic church last
night, during the progress of which
heads and noses were seriously
pummelled. The Intervention of
the police alone prevented more
serious result.
The trouble grew out of the split
which occurred in the congrega-
ton OF the church about a year ago
and which resulted in the estab-
lishment OF All Saints church. A
benevolent organization which be-
longed to st. Hedwig's church was
split at the same, the majority Of
the members and officers casting
their fortunes with the new parish.
The members Of this society a few
days ago issued call for a meeting
for Thursday night. The opposi-
ton assem- bled in force and the
meeting had scarcely been called
to order when the fight began.

horrible manner. The mutilated
body was found the next morning
by some miners, who organized a
posse and soon captured O'Connor.

Toronto, Canada, seems, to Harper's
Weekly, to be one of the most regu-
lated cities in the civilized world.
Sunday is kept there like suit OF
best clothes. There are no Sunday
newspapers; the street cars don'trun f;
nothing goes on except interest.
Even the tides in Lake Ontario omit
to ebb and flow on the Lords Dav.
On week days you can ride ON the
Toronto street cars for four cents n
ride, and if you are going to school
you can ride at half rates no matter
how old you are or how big. The
street railways pay the city a just
rent for their franchises, and the re-
sulting revenue is very large and
saves taxes. Nevertheless, it is as.
serted from time to time that Toronto
is losing in population. The good
people don't care, for they say they
would rather live in a good city than
in big one, but covetous persons
who do business or own real estate in
Toronto grumble, and say the town is
too good to succeed.
