AN IMPORTANT STEP
Has Been Taken bv Spain Toward
Homo Kule for Cuba.
CONGRESS TO BE CHOSEN BY CuBANS
Numerous Skirmishcs Between the
Troops and insurgents
THE DETAILS OF MACEO'S FALL
with Him at the Thine OF His
Dcnth-Palma's Hot Reply.

Washington, December "a Another i'm
portant step toward the plan OF home rule
for Cuba has been taken by the Spanish
authorities. The former plan proposed but
not executed. some months ago, provided
for a Cuban congress OF thirty members. Of
which the queen regent was TO name fifteen
and the people OF Cuba were TO elect
fifteen. II is now proposed to do away
with that part providing for the naming
of the members by the queen regent 20
that the entire Cuban congress will be
elected by the Cuban people. This and the
entire control given TO Cuba In making the
tariff laws of the island, Will constitute
the essential features OF the new plan OF
home rule. Giving the people the election
OF the entire congress is felt to carry out
in spirit az well as in letter tue idea OF
home rule.
Thus far only the general nature OF the
proposed idea and changes have been made
known to officials in Washington and the
draft OF the revised plan CT reforms has
no. yet been received, nor is 1t likely 20 be
completed until after the completion OF che
Porto Rico reforms, which Will be sigutd
by the queen regent tomorrow as a suit
able Christmas act. Undcr The Spanish
system ii VIII be necessary TO submit the
foregoing changes 10 the cortes, which Is
not now in session and Is not likely to meet
before February.
The Christmas day reforms for Porto
Rico are closely allied with those for cuba,
being the second section Of the same law.
They give Porto Rico congress. the prov
intes OF San Juan and Ponce alternating
every TWO years in choosing members Tor
a term of four years. The congress Is
given control OF the whole ISLAND. public
works, telegraph, postoffices, railways ana
navigation, agricultural. manufacture,
trade, immigration and colonization, pub
lie instruction. charities, the health de
partmont, etc.
The hcmc government Will continue TO
be represented by a captain general, who
Will exercise supervisory power and he the
local delegate minister OF the colonies.
The foregoing was approved by the cortcs,
but In tho case OF Cuba 1t is believed the
plans Will be enlarged so as to make the
congress solly representative OF the poo-
pie Of the island fhe definite action OF
the queen In signing the Porto Rico reforms
tomorrow is believed by officials here TO be
the prelude to similar action for Cuba.

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Two Dead and Three Injured Is the Re-

NEWS OF THE RAIL.

The festive drummer is now on his
rounds and the city the past few days has
been full of them. While they are, as
rule, whole-souled and generous and don't
give snap for expenses, there is one
thing that usually sticks in their threats,
and, like Banquo's ghost, "Will not
down." That is the transportation end
of their expense accounts. Time after
time have they endeavored to have a
mileage book which will at least give
them bit of relief. The nearest APP
proach to success in this one direction
is the following clipped from an ex-
change:
A ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul road has prepared a new
form of mileage book, which is looked
upon as a great Improvement by railroad
men, and which is believed to be so ar
ranged as to be acceptable to travelling
men, while offering serious obstacles to
it's Improper use by scalpers.
The new book requires no signature
from the purchaser and no identification
from the passenger on train. On buying
the book the passenger will sign his name
on a separate slip, which will be sent to
the auditor of the issuing road. On the
road the passenger will sign his name to
every strip of mileage torn off, and If he
be not the purchaser of the book he will
not have to tell falsehood for the con-
ductor will ask no questions.
When the mileage is consumed the
cover will be sent to the mileage bureau,
as at present, for the refund of $10 but
If the signatures on the strips of mileage
are forgeries, not corresponding with the
signature on the original separate strip
made by the purchaser, the issuing road
will, on receiving such Instructions from
the bureau, decline to grant the refund
In case the purchaser has been honest
in his dealings he will have avoided much

THEIR LATEST MOVE.
The National Democrats Set UP Per-
manent Headquarters in Chicago and
Propose to Crush Altgeld.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-The continuance of
the national democratic party's organiza-
ton in Illinois for all political purposes
was unanimously decided upon today at
an enthusiastic conference attended by
most of the members of the state central
committee, those who were candidates on
the state ticket and half hundred 9TH
err prominent gold democrats, represent
ing a score of cities throughout this state.
The discussion that the national demo-
cratic party is the only democratic party
and that it's permanence was therefore
fixed and obligatory The address states
that the party's transient antagonist is
the free silver party, but its permanent
antagonist is the republican party and
concludes by claiming that a conserva-
tive estimate OF the Illinois election re-
turns shows over 100,o 900 democrats voted
against free silver Permanent state
headquarters will be kept here and the
party intends to take an active part in
the municipal election of Chicago in the
hope of crushing the democratic machine
dominated by Gov. Altgeld, especially II
the Governor is nominated for mayor.
Adams A. Goodrich, Of Chicago, was
elected chairman of the state committee
to succeed the late Charles A Ewing, OF
Decatur.

FOOTBALL FIGHT.
Nashville and Vanderbilt Wind Up
Their Game With About 250 Sluggers
on Each Team-Other Games

Nashville, Tenn. Nov 14.-One OF the
most exciting occurrences that the VAN
derbilt gridiron has ever witnessed TOOK
place today. The University OF Nasn-
Vile foot ball team and the Vanderpiit
eleven played match game The teams
were unusually evenly matched and the
game was played to within five minutes
of the closing time without either side
gaining any advantage. The last half
was characterized by artistic and vicious
smuggling Finally fragrant slug by the
Nashvilles caused the Vanderbilts TO OPP
emily retaliate and in an instant both
teams were fighting for all they were
worth.
The rooters for both teams were out IN
full force. There were about 300 for each
school and they joined in the scrap In a
very short time When the row was at
its heighth fully 500 young men were en-
gagged in a free-for-all fight, but fortu-
ately they were so crowded that fighting
was hampered. The affair was finally
stopped without anybody being seriously
hurt. the principal damage being done
to hats and noses. No weapons except
walking canes and fists were used.

TROUBLE STIRRED UP
An Old Feud Breaks Out and SO Far
Two Are Dead and One Lying
s. at Deaths Door.

Paducah, KY, Nov. 14.-There is great
excitement in the Sand ridge section of
Ballard county on the re-opening of the
feud between the Taylors and Shelbys.
John Taylor and his son have paid their
lives as forfeit and Mort Shelby is dan
gerously wounded.
The trouble was revived by one faction
setting the dogs on the hogs of the other.
This led to an alteration and then fol-
lowed the shooting in which old man Tay-
Tor was instantly killed and his boy
wounded, so that he died in short time.
1t is thought that Mort Shelby will also
die.
Old Mort Shelby is an uncle of Evans
Shelby, who was lynched for the murder
of old lady Mort some time ago. Mort
himself was once convicted as an access
sorry to the murder, but on another trial
was acquitted.
Ever since this trial the two families
have been at daggers points, and both
sides continually carried Winchesters.
There have been no arrests.
