Mexico's Position on the Cuban War.

CRY OF MEXICO, Oct. 21.-An article
appeared in FL Mundo yesterday, in
which it was stated that this country
regarded the United States as a loyal
friend, and that if the United States
should officially suggest intervention
in behalf of Cuba against Spain Pres
ident Diaz would concur with alacrity,
provided both Spain and Cuba would
accept intervention. According to the
article in question President Diaz' per-
sonal attitude toward the Cuban con-
hict is uncertain, he having invariably
preserved 4 discreet reticence.

DOUBLE ENDER CONTESTS.
Neither Side Satisfied With Results
in South Dakota.

REDFIELD, S. D., Nov. 27.-Secre-
tary r. S. Persons, Of the Republican
state central committee, has been col
lecting evidence as to Illegal voting
at the late election, and states that
he has enought evidence now to make
good grounds for contests on, the state
ticket, and that still further evidence
Is being secured. He mentioned one
precinct in which it was possible to
find only 123 voters before election, but
which precinct returned 1853 votes, and
that the committee could secure aff1-
vote in the precinct, which were just
the number their polls showed, and that
the natural inference would be that
the increased vote went for Bryan. He
has testimony to show great deal OF
such voting in border counties, and
contests will very likely be instituted.
The leading fusionists in Pierre are
talking Of contests on their part for
several of the state offices which the
count Will undoubtedly give to the
Republicans, their grounds being tr-
Irregularities in counties giving heavy
Republican majorities, and the action
of Republican canvaSsing boards in
refusing to count returns from Popu-
list precincts on technical irregulari-
ties in the returns made by the election
officials, they claiming enough such
acts on the part of canvassers to ma
terially change results. If neither side
weakens there seems to be lively times
ahead for the state before it is finally
decided who will hold the offices for
the next two years.

of this city. Two years ago Capt VOL
vim and some local associates organized
freight transportation company and
at once began work on what was then
considered an abnormally large ship,
the Zenith City. The boat was planned
to be ahead Of anything afioat on the
lakes In size, as we'll as in details Of
construction, and was looked on by
most ship owners as an experiment and
doubtful one at that. The boat was
built, and fulfilled all expectations, be-
Ing great money maker. She was
quickly followed by the Queen City,
even bigger and the record breaker Of
all cargo carriers on the lakes, being
able to carry in sixteen feet Of water
$500 tons. This vessel also was up
ahead Of the tip top of lake marine
architecture. So profitable did these
ships prove, even in dull years that a
third was ordered, and is now nearly
ready at Chicago. She is the same size
as the famous Queen City and is named
the Crescent City. Within the past
week two more have been ordered, one
in Chicago and another in Cleveland.
Both are to be equipped with quadruple
engines and water-tube boilers, the
first lake freight ships so constructed.
With their completion the Duluth COM
pany will have invested 81, 300, 900 and
will have a carrying capacity of be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 tons on deep

AID FOR WESTERN LINES.
Excursion Rates of the C. p. n. To
Be Met.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The roads of the
Western Passenger association have sent an
energetic protest to the Joint Traffic associa-
ton against the action Of the latter body in
ton against the Canadian Pacific in its ex-
cursions from points in the Northwest to
points in Western Canada. The Western
roads will meet the competition now, no
mater what action the lines of the Joint
Traffic association sees fit to take, as the
Grand Trunk and the Wabash have notified
them that they will carry the business east
of Chicago. In doing this, the two roads
have taken steps to protect themselves
against the penalty that may be exacted for
violation of the agreement of the Joint Traf-
no rates shall be made on any traffic original
ing at or passing through certain specified
gateways, which are the Western gateways
OF the Trunk Lines association. The Grand
Trunk and the Wabash will carry the bust
ness to within six miles of these gateways
and there drop 1t. Both the roads have taken
every means to get the board of managers
of the Joint Traffic association to agree to
some method of meeting the competition of
the Canadian Pacific, and they did not de-
eide to go against the spirit Of the agreement
until everything else had been tried and
found to be of no avail. It is likely that
some Of the other roads in the Joint Traffic
association may take action similar to that
or the Grand Trunk and the Wabash.
A call has been issued for a meeting of the
lines Of the Central Traffic committee to be
held In this city on Wednesday of next week.
INeTe are no matters OF special importance
on the call and the attention of the meeting
will be for the most part taken by the con-
sideration Of routine business.
The illinois roads are somewhat apprehen-
sive that certain political powers in this state
are determined to make as much trouble as
possible. From time to time there have been
vague mutterings Of legislation looking tow
ard two-cent fares and other action calcu-
lated to cut into the revenue of the roads.
The roads think that the election of the Re-
publican ticket has made them enemies in
this state, who will take any plausible pre-
text for doing them an injury, and some
action on the mater will probably be taken
by the roads.

Queer Wedding of Michael Taylor

girl and light dawned upon him. The

few moments with Rev. Stephen Mer-
rift, preacher and undertaken There.

Milwaukee's Attitude Chilly Toward
the Semi-CentennjaI Collaboration

MILWAUKEE,, Nov 26.-The semi-centen-
NAL project, after having been we'll launched,
has received a decided setback, and one
tnat upon the surface seems to- put an end
TO the plan for holding a big exposition. The
members of the subcommittee Of the local
committee of ten, which was appointed re-
Gently by Senator Stout, reported at a meet
ing OF the full committee yesterday that they
believed 1T would be better to abandon the
whole scheme, for the reason that the diff
ferent interests Of the city did not seem to
enter into the spirit of the proposed celebra-
ton and would not come forward with con-
tr1butfonS for the stock
The subcommittee visited the bankers and IT
was mainly the reception they received there
that caused them to make so discouraging
report. So convinced were the members
OF the committee that nothing can be done in
the raising of such fund as was expected
from Milwaukee that they would not receive a
committee from the tanners, which was
ready to wait on them. To this delegation
they stated that the local committee would
take no further action until the members
had consulted with Senator Stout.
1t has been well understood that unless
Milwaukee put her shoulder to the wheel and
gave the semi-centennial project big send
off in the shape OF subscriptions to the stock
there would be no use in going to the state
for subscriptions or to the legislature for
assistance. This was the understanding when
the meeting was held here last week when the
local committee of ten was appointed. 1t
was on that basis that they went to work
Then 1t was thought that the various inter-
ests of the city would recognize the benefit
Of the semi-centennial, both to the city and
the state, and come forward with subscrip-
lions.
mittees that the only ones who are willing
TO subscribe literally to the fund are the
three big breweries. Among the other inter
ests there is an apathy which cannot be over
come. Unless Milwaukee pulls herself to-
gether and takes a new start the semi-centen-
NAL as projected is dead.

OLD NORTHERN COMMITTEE.
Its Absence Is Felt by Lines to
t 80 Duluth

The freight and traffic officials Of
the st. Paul & Duluth, Eastern Mime
sofa and the Omaha roads met with
General Freight Agent Pierce, of the
Omaha yesterday afternoon to confer
relative to a new agreement between
the roads, looking toward an under
standing whereby rates from the head
of the lakes can be maintained
On the death Of the old Western
Freight association, there also passed
away the Northern committee, which
had such matters as the above in
its jurisdiction. Last summer and the
past fall, rates from the head Of the
lakes were demoralized. All the roads
were cutting on coal, -four and other
commodities. 1t is hoped that this
trouble may be obviated In the future.
The new Western Freight association
has no authority over the lines named.
on traffic to and from the head of the
lakes, and it becomes necessary for the
interested lines to come to an agree
ment Of their own. 1t is expected that
the lines will reach an agreement, as
rough draft of one is now under con-
sideration.
