CoNst-L CoNGOSTO,S VIEWS.

Very remarkable is that statement given
60 the public in The Times OF this morning
in effect that the Spanish consul at Phila-
delphia, Mr.. Congosto, declares that Spain
is in favor of Cuban autonomy. 1t is said
that the consul Issues this declaration as
a formal statement" The first thought
that will occur to any one reading 1t is that
it is very peculiar that the consul at Phila-
delphia should have been deputed to give
this astonishing news TO the world. The
Spanish Minister, Mr.. Dupuy de Lome
does not seem to be in evidence. Appar-
emily he is not in close communication with
his government.
Americans would applaud any step of
Spain toward a larger liberty Of the citi-
of the Philadelphia consul receives some
corroboration, tho people of this country
will be slow to accept any suggestion that
Spain would agree TO Cuban autonomy.
Any step in that direction means an encour-
agement OF the republican movement, not
only in Cuba, but also in the mother coun-
the political idea upon which existing
Spanish rule is founded.
Therefore. Americans VIII take with a
grain of salt the statement of the Pt iladel
phia Spanish consul until he is corrt borated
by q higher authority.

TOM REEDS WHEEL.
Described as a "Poem In White" !"

Grand Beach, Me-. Aug. GA poem In
white is what Names big Congressman,
Thomas Brackett Reed, might fittingly be
called when he is dressed in his snow white
sweater, all ready for a ride on his glitter
ing bicycle. The wheel arrived last week
and 10 Il beauty. 1t weighs but twenty
eight pounds, and was designed and made
especially for Mr.. Reed. The machine is
constructed Of the best material obtainable
in the market, and was made unusually
strong, as the Presidential possibility, after
all his banting, even now tips the scales at
269 pounds.
The next question was what to wear
while riding the bike, AMI at last after much
pondering, Mr.. Reed purchased white
sweater. 1t is as white as the driven snow.
and 1t took enough material to make a bi-
cycle suit, boomers and all, for some Of
the winsome maids who ride wheel here.
And it quits Tom to a T, and now he would
not part with 1t for any amount OF money.
Mr.. Reed declares that it is much more
difficult TO ride a wheel than bucktng
bronco. The first OF the week, while taking
a lesson, the big man came within an ace
of indulging in a bath in the briny deep. AT
Grand Beach there is gradual incline from
the sea wall to the waters edge. Mr..
Reed was learning to ride and was quite
near the water. He was doing remarkably
well. and the instructor released his hold
on Thomas and told him to go 1t alone
No sooner had he done SO than the contrary
wheel started for the breakers at 2:3O
clip, with its rider pOwerless to stop 1t.
Never before had Mr.. Reed ridden 60 far
without falling off, and TO the onlookers 1t
seemed as though he would certainly go
into the surf. He shouted for assistance,
and his cousin rescued him just as the wheel
was on the edge of the Administration

DAY OF CHEAP FARES.

The announcement that the company
which will control the consolidated WASH
ington and Georgetown and Rock Creek
Street Railway lines, will, in all prob
ability, soon give transit over the COM
bined routes for une fare, or six for a
quarter of a dollar, is a movement which
has been for some time inevitable, and
whose consummatiun will lead to- new and
vitality important conditions.
Vast capital invested In suburban prop
erty is the force which is driving capitalists,
not only to construct new roads, but to
reduce fares that patrons may go uptown,
downtown, and all around town." as Mr..
Rudyard Kipling would sing, for the one
fare that is paid for the shortest distance
That some kind of mild revolution must
result from this new franchise is plainly
apparent. Just what phenomena the revO-
luton will exhibit may not yet be fully
predicted. That it will lead to q spread
of city population, over larger territory,
with enlarged breathing and elbow room.
is 10 be expected. Reduction of city rents
will probably be another result. That any
portion of the city trade win be dispersed
is not probable. The reverse is apt tn be
the case Trade will still be concentrated,
and IL rents be reduced, trade will be cor
respOndingiy increased.
The drift of events toward cheap fares
from central city to distant country, is
one of the most absorbing themes for
present speculation, and is naturally ex-
citing the attention of capitalists, and of
investors of all kinds, as well as the vast
army who work for wages.

PROTECT THE PENSIONERS.

1t is an enduring shame that large Gle
ment among the veterans who draw pen
sions should become victims OF all sorts of
sharks on the day when they receive their
pay. The manner in which they are robbed
is an old story, but 1t is none the less worthy
of renewed comment and denunciation.
yultures of all ages and sexes and occu-
pations lie in wait for these veterans, who
are too often weak Of mind and aimless of
purpose, and entice them to dissipation
which in a short time robs them of the
quarterly allowance paid to them out OF the
pockets of the people of the whole United
States.
The abuse is one which obtains through
out the States, but it is particularly fla.
grant in Washington. the headquarters of
pensions, the most fascinating spot for the
residence of men who became disabled in
the cause of the Union. Here an especially
vigorous effort should be made to protect
them from the flock of comorants which
besets them on payday.

With memories wild ard haunted,

So restleFs, weak, and weary,
She seemed so sad and dreary,
With sighs ard groans the burden If hey

Beside her comes Ambition,
Clear Coincidence and Contrition,
A trio that can never know dispat
Their faces ever meet me,
And constantly entreat ME

Of an instrument tested, it appears, at
Some of the most important smelling estab-

The apparatus consists, as explained, of
a horizontal flue, some / 500 feet long,
exposing surface for radiation and con-
densation of the heated cases of upward of
54 ,000 square feet. Through this flue the
fumes are drawn by means of a fan, the
outer circumference of which at full speed
revolves with a velocity of nearly tw miles
a minute. The fumes thus under pressure are
forced into a spacious building, from which
thereis no means of escape except through
a filter of textile fabric, the oolorless gases
passing through into a stack beyond, while
the valuable SCOT or smoke condenses on
the inner of lower side; from here tits col
lected from time to tine, compressed into
moids, and fed back again into the furnaces,
where the valuable metalsare duly extracted
and separated. not one particle of valuable
fume, it is declared, escaping under this

PRAISE FOR THE MARINE BAND
A Concert in Which Mr.. Fanciulli
Gained Great Distinction.

udlHeU uTeat D1SIluCIIOn.
From the Philadelphia Times.)
Last evening" s programme was made up
mainly for popular summer concert and
might have been played a well in the open
air. But the performance OF the ''William
Tell overture was electrifying. 1t was
frankly transcribed for the military band,
with an admirable distribution of the ill.,
strumental color that gave In equivalent for
the strings without mere imitation. and it
was played with romantic appreciation and
with magnificentfervor. This is always one
of the favorites, b,th of musicians and lis
teners, and it may be emphaticaIly said D
Fanciulli's performance that within its
lines 1t was as good as the best. The sclec-
tion from ''Gioconda"- was also nobly
played, with discrimination and effect,
and there were two or three medleys Of
familiar airs that showed musicianly feel
ing, humOr and taste. There were, of
course, the usual encore pieces, intro
ducing various tricky effects, the employ
ment of the voices of the band being I'M
commonly successful, and there were some
fascinating waltzes and two-steps, In
Guiding Sousa's Justly popular Liberty
Bell march. The programme was varied
by the singing of the Letter Carriers Chorus.
an excellent organization of some thirty
voices, whose work was most creditable
to them and their conductor.
Mr.. Fanciulli, fine-lOoking man, with
a quiet, but resolute manner, won the
confidence of the audience on his first
appearance. when he gave a new march
of his own, composed for the occasion, and
long before the concert was over he had
established his reputation as a mastery
conductor. The Marine Band is one of the
few artistic Institutions maintained by
the United States Government, and it was
a pleasure to find that its standard has not
deteriOrated since the authorities have
confined it more strictly than before to
its proper public functions.
