THEY FEAR THE TEST.
John G. Sheehan ON the Attitude of
the Republicnns-HOv Employees
Are Compelled to March in Re-
publican Pnrndes or Else, Give Up
the Opportunity of Feeding Their
Wives and Babies.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-John C.
Sheehan. leader of Tamany hall,
tonight issued an address to the
voters of the city of New York.
The address says
Trusts, monopolies, syndicates
and combines have been so much
favored by legislation in the past
that they have come to look upon
themselves as the real rulers of
this republic.
They fear the result, knowing
that if Mr.. Bryan is elected every
antitrust law will be enforced.
For this reason no effort will be
spared by them to defeat a result
that will prevent continuance of
the special privileges they have en-
joyed in the past. TsTonl
Employers ofslarge cities, the ad-
dress declares, are compelling en-
ployees to, participate in the So.
called Republican parade on Satur-
day next.
The purpose of this parade is not
so much to boom Mckinley in this
city, as to create a sentiment
against the Democratic candidates
in the west, and that thousands of
men who will join in this procession
are in sympathy with the Demo-
cratic candidates sjg' ~
In submitting to such SYSTEM
of tyranny, these employees are
adopting the only wise course open
to them. A refusal 10 march on that
day is certain to mark them for
dismissal on the day. following the
election.
The address closes with an appeal
to voters to observe the 31st as
. flag day when tine colors should
be displayed, with not a star
erased, nor stripe polluted by par
tisan advertisement

LANSDOWNE AT LEEDS.
He Takes Special Umbrnge at the
Remarks Made by Sir Edward
Clarke ON the Venezuela Question

LONDON, Oct. 27.-The Marquis of
Lansdowne, secretary of state for war,
delivered speech at Leeds tonight
He took occasion to deprecate the
speech recently made at York by Sir
Edward Clarke, formerly solicitor-gen
eral, who said that Great Britain s
claims in Venezuela were untenable and
that no honest or impartial arbitrator
or commission could decide in Great
Britain's favor on the evidence.
Lord ;Lansdowne declares that Sir
Edwards statement was a startling
and serious. one. Great Britain S
claims had been carefully investigated
and he believed that most of them
could be supported by satisfactory evil
dence.
Lord Lansdowne added that there
was reason to hope that the time was
approaching when these questions
would be settled by arbitration, or an
amicable compromise upon suitable
conditions When the time came Great
Britain would enter court, not for a
moment believing that every point
would be decided in her favor, but
confident that her claims would be
found to be supported by evidence
based upon the established principles
of international law

NEW yoRK's OPERA SEASON.
Opening Night Turned Out to Be n
brilliant and UnequivocaI Sue

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-When it is re-
corded that the opening night of the
Academy Opera company turned out
to be such brilliant and unequivocal
success, both socially and artistically,
that Colonel Mapleson could have
wished for nothing better than the
event as it proved, the plain facts of
the case are badly stated The familiar
old house, made its very own self once
more by the restoration of its boxes,
has been at least neatly renovated, if
not redecorated, and it was filled in
every nook and corner by an audience
that was evidently from the first in
clined to be well-disposed toward any
thing that might occur in the way of a
performance. The Opera was Aida"
Not long after the raising of the cur
tain, the fact became noticeable that
sense of solidity and security pervaded
the atmosphere behind the scenes. A
little of that inevitable nervousness in
separable from the introduction of
artists to a perfectly strange audience
was observed in Signor Durot (Rha-
dames) and Nine Bonaplata-Bau
(Aida.)
Nine. Bau did work worthy of much
praise. Her voice carries well, is
steadily sustained, but is of a racy,
pungent quality that requires famili-
arity to reconcile the ear to its peculi-
arity. As an actress, she seems thor
oughly versed in the requirements of
the stage, without possessing either
marked individuality or an excessive
amount of grace. But short half hour
sufficed to tell where in a large, per-
haps the largest, point of merit in the
representation lay. Signor Bimboni,
Mapleson's young conductor, presently
showed himself a giant. In the second
act. all Mapleson's artists did finely,
conscientious and entirely capable
work, so that the audience was ex-
cited to a pitch rarely seen except on
last nights of operatic seasons. Cries
of 'Mapleson'' and 'Bimboni' rent the
air amid frantic applause, and all the
cast, with Mapleson, the conductor and
stage manager, passed across the stage
with cheerful countenances and innu-
merable bows.
1t is a great satisfaction to be able
to say so many good things about
Colonel Mapleson's company. If the
promise of last evening is fulfilled, the
New York public has much that is
agreeable to expect from this initial
opera season

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The Sues
Madrid correspondent writes under
date of Oct. II as follows:
The independent newspapers sug-
gest thar what is said on the reasons
for not having already suppressed the
Cuban instruction by ministerial or
gans is merely TO familiarize the public
here with the idea OF a new failure in
Cuba, and thus relieve the govern
ment in advance of all responsibility.
Ell Liberal says: 1T is too late TO
speak of these things now. The time
for antiquities and excuses is past.
Plain language must be used. We
cannot agree that the government
throw the responsibility upon General
Weyler, or that he blame the govern
ment for inadequate equipment. 1t is
the governments duty to, present the
army viii all resources required for
success; but it was also the. command
er-in-chiefs duty to demand at the
proper time all that he needed"
NOT YET NEAR.
According to the Heraldo, whose
good feeling toward General Weyler
is well known, the end of the war is
not so near as our hopes made us be-
Heve, and probably more men VIII have
to be sent TO the Cuban woods. Spain
cannot resign herself to this endless
series of postponements. Should we
keep on in this way we may bleed TO
death before a favorable turn of af-
fairs is reached in Cuba. We all agree
that the coming campaign is the de-
ciSive one Has General Weyler given
the government his formal promise
that he will put down the rebellion
with the resources which he has at his
command and those which will soon be
sent to him? Let US know whether
this is SO or not. The time is getting
near when victory must be decreed."

OTHER MEANS.

says: I'VE have often maintained
that there are other means than blood

are facts to prove it, The leading and
most impartial newspapers in London

sons who have been in Cuba recently
are OF the same opinion. Yet our in

is found out that more men. are

the doings of some shrewd physicians
