DEBS WAS MISTAKEN.
A. n. I. Conspiracy Cases to Be
Pushed by the Government.

CHICAGO, March I.-Edwin Walker and
Thomas Mitchrist, of the special coun-
sci and United States District Attorney
General Black had a conference with Judge
Grosscup to-day about the trial of Eugene
". Debs and other Railway Union officers,
which has been set for q rehearing on
the first Monday in May. Tt was agreed
to advance the trial one week If the coun-
sci for defense will agree. Mr.. Walker
will confer with Messrs. Darrow and Greg
DRY concerning the matter. Mr.. Walker
left for Washington to-day to be present
at the hearing before the Supreme Court
on the habeas corpus application testing
the constitutionality of the act under which
Judge Woods committed the officers of the
A. r.. u to Jail for contempt.
The action of the court in setting a date
for the trial dissipates the belief which was
general in labor circles that the case would
never reach a. rehearing. In a lecture de-
livered in the Auditorium here recently,
Debs asserted that the government would
not press the matter, intimating that the
prosecution had become convinced that a
conviction was impossible. The government
attorneys to-day, however, declared that
they would push the case as rapidly as
pOSSible,

Have you thought, in your moments of tri-
umph,
Q you that are high in the tree,
OF the days and nights that are bitter
So bitter to others and me?
When the efforts to do what is clever /.
Result i'll a failure so sad,
And the clouds of dependency gather
And dim all the hopes that we had?
Have you thought when the world was APP
plauding
Your greatness, whatever it be,
OF the tears that in silence were falling
Yes. falling from others and me?
When the hardest and latest endeavors
Appeared to be only in vain,
And We've curtained our eyes in the night

Indifferent to waking again?
For it wants but little reflection,
And you'll be the first to agree
That the favors in which you are basking
Are darkness to others and me.
And it's hard when you lie in the sunshine
OF fortune so smiling indeed,
If you have not a thought for the many
Who'll never-can never succeed.

CUBA N THE CUBANs.
Tax-Ridden People Who Hope for Aid
from This Country.
on Letter in Chicago Post.

WASHINGTON Letter III &HiCdSU IOSt.
The relations Of Cuba and the Cubans TO
Spain are the relations of a slave to a cruel,
avaricious master. The population of the
island was estimated in 1890 at 1881, 687, of
whom the whites constituted 65 per cent, 50
that there are approximately 100000 Gu
hans in Cuba of white and half-caste blood.
Thirty-five per cent. of these can read and
write. Havana has a population of about
200, eco: Matanzas, the next largest city,
about ut 10000 osssia and +; San w ! d .he eu oarre sapi tai
bellion is up, about 1900. The army in time
of peace is limited to 10000 men and the
militia to thrice that number. All the i'm
portant offices in the army. and, indeed,
also in the civil government, are held by
spaniards; who make not the the slshtest ef-
Such small measure of self-government as is
allowed to the natives is of recent origin.
With the Spaniards in authority population
is reduced to a science.
Cuba is divided into three provinces. the
southwest and central being the richest and
most populous, containing twenty-five cit
les and towns and 204 villages and hamlets.
Ten per cent. of the area is cultivated, 7
per cent. is unreclaimed and 4 per cent. is
under forests. There are large tracts of
the island still uneyplored. Slavery was
absolutely abolished In 1856, and education
capital, had a population of 1875, 271 in 1887,
and the population Of the island in 1887 was
whites. ssh Chinese and 4s9, 249 negroes.
The chic produce of the island is sugar and
tobacco. In 1893 sugar To the amount of
bacco to the amount of $4,000 bales was
shipped. In the same year loo, 712. 900 Ha-
vana cigars were exported. The total ex-
ports from Cuba in 1892 amounted
10 50. So 514 pesos. of which 1864, 6S5 pesos
was for vegetable. 7l;e2o pesos for animal
and 8, tS5, 924 for mineral produce. This import
value was put at 56.265,315 pesos. of which
1883 .307 pesos was from Spain. IS. 245, $50
pesos from the United States. 1S.051 .3s4 pesos
from Great Britain. 2,250.9o1 pesos from
France, LOCO, 600 pesos from Belgium and
669.O0 pesos from Germany. The chief i'm
ports are rice. jerked beef and -four. There
are in Cuba 2,Sl9 miles of telegraph, with
167 offices, and about 1900 miles of railway.

DARWIN OF usTRALIA.
He Makes 1t Certain that Man Really

The Queenslander.
A new Darwin has arisen, who has
proved, to his own satisfaction at least,
he has chosen the humble and innocent babe
as the base for his deductions. He sees the
monkey in the man, or rather In the baby.
SO are babies" Therefore,, babies are mon
keys. Could anything be clearer than that?
That is S. s.. Buckman's theory of evolu-
ton Carrying the same idea a little fur
Their, j may. say with truth that dugongs
are snub-nosed; SO are babies. Ergo, babies
are dugongS. The one reasoning is as sense
less as the other.
This Mr.. Buchanan carries the resem-
blance between babies and monkeys through
a whole catalogue Of points" Babies and
monkeys both have pouch-like cheeks" He
is not a family man. or he would know

drawing the vital fluid from the mother.
are no wiser than those quoted, but / shall
deal only with the last-No. II on Mr..
Buckman's list of points of resemblance.
'sChildren are very fond of rolling. This
points to the time when our ancestors had
hairy bodies tenanted by parasites, and al
layed the irritation by rolling"
Shades of Darwin defend us! Has this
genius ever seen a dog rolling, or a cat, or
a horse, or any other of the familiar ami
bitter end it can be proved that we are de-
scended from the horse, the ass, the goat.
the dog, or even the whale. We show points
of re resemblance to all of them at times, par
ticularly the second, and especially when
We get hold of pen and ink and commit to
paper our opinion of things in general.
You cannot persuade me, Mr.. Buchanan.
that my ancestors were ever anything but
men, savages, perhaps. but stu men. and
not goats, nor monkeys, nor kangaroos.
Having studied the Buchanan theory thor
oughly and grasped all it's possibilities, /
consider myself now capabale of demon
strating to my readers that they are kan
garoos or descendants from the kangaroos.
i. The kangaroo stands on its hind legs; so
does man. 2. The kangaroo eats vegetable
matter; so does man-when he can get it,
3. The kangaroo hops; ditto man, especial
lv when he has tro-den on the penetrating
end of a tack. A. The kangaroo's arms are
shorter than It's legs; SO are mans. 5. The
kangaroo runs away when 1t il scared: man
does the same. 6. The kangaroo sometimes
passes food 10 it's mouth with its paws;
ditto man when he does not possess a fork
or does not know the use of IL. Z. The
Kangaroo looks behind him as he is moving
off. so does man-to-wit, Lots wife. And
so on. / might find resemblances all the
way from the tip of the kangaroo's nose
10 the end Of his massive tail. but further
comp.rison is quite unnecessary. There is
enough food for reflection in these seven
points TO keep our nursery philosopher from
sfeening for half a century.

TO EvIcT THE EVIL ONE.
GuIIibiIfty of N Woman Who Fnncfee
Herself Possenscd of the Devil.

Paris Letter TO London Telegraph.
An extraordinary case illustrative OF the
superstition and gullibility which render
some people an easy prey to designing in
dividuals has Just occupied the attention OF
the Amiens Police Court. At that town
lives a venerable maid, who, by some crazy
fancy, took il into her head that she was
possessed of the "evil one" who every
night made his unwelcome appearances at
her abode and sent her furniture spinning
in all directions. She implored the gem
darmerie and the police to rid her or the
diabolical presence. At last a good-natured
commissary sent an agent of the law who.
of course. saw and heard nothing TO pass a
night at her abode.
In her despair the old lady now had re-
course to a s-omnambulist, who told her
that the only way to make everything hap
py and comfortable once more was to pro-
cure a mysterious mirror which was then
i'm the possession of a merchant In New
York, and which she warranted to act as
an infaliible talisman. The worthy dame
had no idea of exposing herself to the dau<
gers of the deep with the inevitable accom-
paniment of NAL de mer, so In her per-
plexity she applied to a business man named
I.enne. who consented TO- start at once on

penses should be paid
Lenne was supplied as q first instaliment
with 500 francs, but in 2 fortnishs he reap,
from New York that the talismanic mirror

Six hundred francs was given him for this

the northwest was blowing and the fire
soon swept across the street to yard No. 2,
where also several thousand bales of cot
ton were stored. 1t took the firemen six
hours to get the fire under control. The
