Herlin, N. H., Dec. 1S.--Part OF the
plant of the Glen Manufacturing COM
pany was destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon. The burned property was
knawn as stockhouse c, and was filled
with paper, pulp and supplies. The
building burned quickly, and for a time
adjoining property was threatened. 1t
is thought that the fire was set by
tramps, although there is another theory
that II was caused by spontaneous COM
bustion. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
and is covered by insurance.

gress Regarding Cuba Be Postponed.
Washington. Dec. 1s.-The Post says
today: Secretary OF State .Olney has
cautioned the members OF the commit
tee on foreign relations TO go very slow
ly in regard to the Cuban question. The
secretary urgently recommends that all
action be postponed In congress until the
end or the present campaign, when, IL
the Spaniards are not successful. he be-
lieves. as recommended I'm the presl-
dents message. that some form Of prac-
tical Intervention should be applied by
the United states.
majority OF the members OF the COM
nittee express ignorance OF the inten-
tion OF Mr.. Olney TO appear before the
committee. but there is no doubt that
he told Senator Sherman. who saw him
yesterday. that he would be glad 10 ap-
pear at the committees meeting, 10
throw all the light possible on the sub
tect, for their guidance. ii Is the expec-
tatlon OF all the members of the commit
tee that vote Will be reached at the
meeting today on the Cameron resolu-
tion declaring for Cuban independence,
and the frien is OF the resolution express
no doubt that the resolution will receive
the approval Of a majority OF the COM
mittee.
AS Secretary Olney In his report 10 the
president made a special point of the
necessity OF conceallng the Identity OF
the agents relied upon by the state de-
partment to keep IL informed Of the
progress OF events In Cuba as well as the
details OF their reports, II is probable
that he will give his information under
pledge OF secrecy, made necessary TO en-
sure the safety OF such consular officers
In Cuba as may have served the depart
ment In news capacity.
The intention OF the majority of the
members OF the committee on foreign re-
lntions who intend TO vote for the Cam
eron Cuban resolution is to vote to re-
port the resolution today and allow II
TO remain on the senate calendar until
after the holiday recess. Different sem
ators have urged members OF the foreign
relations committee not to be hasty I'm
the matter OF acting on the Cuban reso-
buttons, and suggest delay, but so far IL
mas not influenced the majority men,
bers or the committee. The reply has
been that the best way is to have the

In the analysis of mans living

ness ia that one word Thought,

from another in the difference OF
expression that each may give
to the universal thought force.
1t is possible that this great en-
ergy came into existence at the
time of birth or will it go out at
death, or is the fact that this
force is all existant, a persistent,
eternal energy. This force, when
directed by an individual of
highly developed will power,
makes of such an individual
either beloved of man, or, on the
other hand, a destroyer of civil
ization; he may have more head

of ambition, become a Napoleon,
or ne may have the welfare OF
nations as his motive, and we
have martyrs and patriots, and

General Weyler, lest perchance
he might some time in the
dim future become a char &c uI-
on the so called charity of tina
public.
Thousands of refugees from
tyranny have come hither in
times past, many Of them with
out a dime in their possession,
some indeed, owing the very
price of their passage to a gem
erous b%enefactor. Kossuth, as a
notable example, was brought
over on a government vessel at
the expense OF the nation.
It is as hard to predicate the
future of an unknown immi-
grant as that of a newborn babe;
but we give the baby the benefit
of the doubt, although his
chances of being self supporting
are considerably less for the i'm
mediate future.
Abstractly, it is easy enough
to defend the restriction of imml-
grafton, and it is proper to urge
its enforcement in case of no>
torious importations of contract
labor or assisted" emigration of
criminals and paupers from for
eign countries; but in the case
of an emigrant whose only de-

From the market materialist red

Among those Armenians de-

The Heavy Cotton Market.

Never before has so large a part
of the cotton crop been mar
keted at SO early a date. Even
the great crop of two years ago
was much later in moving to such
an extent as the present crop has
already gone to market.
From September LIST to Octo-
Der 26th this year, the exports of
cotton were 1854, 900 bales
against only 632, 900 for the same
period last year. The receipts
from September 1st to the present
time have been $50, 900 bales
more than those of the same pc
riod last year.
The remarkably early maturing
and marketing of the cotton crop
has had much to do with the flow
of gold to this country which has
recently given a stimulus to bust
ness.

The result Of the election yes

William Mckinley will be the
next President of the United

the States that we're classed as

but by many Republicans, and
he will have a large majorIty in

The National House of r pres

that with the aid of the more

The Pinkerton detective force
of Chicago a few days ago added
to the uncnviable reputation tina,
they have achieved during re-
cent years by arresting a man in
New Orleans without process OF
law, for an offence alleged to
have been committed in Chicago.
and removing him from Louis
lana without obtaining the pa
pers necessary in such cases.
The occurrence, as reported in
the New Orleans newspapers,
looks like a case of kidnapping,
in which the detectives have
committed a graver ofense than
| the man whom they abducted.
There was a legal way in which
to obtain the custody OF the man
who was wanted in Chicago. but
the detectives preferred to act
in defiance of law ,.as they have
so often done b fore.
LORD Salisbury has made a de-

The Legation claims authority to
hold the prisoner IN the ground
that it's premises are Chinese ter
ritory, according to the law of
nations. The Chinese ambassa-
dor might pertinently ask by
what authority of international
law lyman, an American citizen,
was arrested by an English de-
tectiue on French soil and held for
extradition; but two wrongs do
not make one right, and it is
probable that Sun Vat Sen will
save his head, thanks to the char
~acteristic English respect for the
right of asylum on behalf of po-
litical offenders of every kind,
save only offenders against Eng
land.
