PATRIOTISM, NOT PROFIT.

BOSTON, Mass. Dec. A.-The Young Mems
Democratic Club Of Massachusetts,, the lead
ing spirit in the gold standard movement
among the Democrats of that state in the
last campaign, at a meeting tonight enter
tained Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Ken
lucky, late National Democratic candidate for
wild applause. He said in part:
The movement at indianapolis has gone
throughout the United States. What has the
Liberal party (as it is called) accomplished?
1t has broken down the dividing line of sec
tionalism. We have saved the life of the
Democratic party. We have awakened the
public conscience by forcing the people to
see that there Is such a thing as a party
who were not after the spoils
I'VE gave courage to those patriots who
despaired of the success of the movement
encouraged the Republican and dismayed
those who betrayed US at Chicago. But what
did the Republicans do? They sought to the
very last of the campaign to evade the is
sue of the campaign. We forced that party
which had always preached sectionalism, and
even the leader himself, to say that the Re
publicans acknowledge that the money Issue
was the main one.
I'VE claim and demand that the party
which benefited by our support and aid shall
conduct the business of the country on a.
sound and healthy basis. We want no offices
the acceptance. of which would defeat the
principles which we sought. We showed the
world that there are people here who are
patriotic for principles and not for private
gain"

FRIENDS OF CUBA.
Remarkable Demonstration Under
the Socfety's Auspices.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-The demon
stration In favor of the Cuban insur-
gents, under the auspices of the Society
of American Friends of Cuba, tonight
was remarkable one. Four thousand
men marched to Cooper Union, led by
Franz Meyer, a survivor of the Virgin
ius massacre. The parade was divided
into ten columns. A large American
flag was borne at the head of the pro-
cession which moved to the strains of
a drum corps of fifty pieces and four
bands When the marchers reached
Cooper Union, the great hall was
crowded, and few of them were able
to wedge their way in. The TRANSPARENT
cies carried at the head of each column
bore the society's emblem Of American
and Cuban flags, crossed and design
that showed the American eagle hold
ing the stars and stripes over a globe
on which was the outlines of Cuba
The larger panels bore portraits of
Washington, Lincoln and the Cuban
soldiers, Maceo and Gomez. Other pict-
ures represented the Virginius massa-

This?''
Col. Ethan Allen, president of the
Cuban league, called the meeting to
order and stated it's object. Several
times during Col. Aliens speech when
President Cleveland's name was NELL
tened, it was bitterly hissed. There
were wild outbreaks when Maceo's
name was spoken. A series of reso-
lutions was read and adopted declaring
that the Cuban republic is entitled to
receive from this nation an official
recognition of its independence, and
that the American people view with
hcrror the energy of demons, whose
purpose is to continue the robbery and
slaughter of unoffending subjects.
Gen. Bradley T. Johnston, of Vir-
giria, said he believed that so per cent
of the people of the United States were
in favor of Cuban independence, and
that fully per cent favored this gov
ernment helping the insurgents to end
the struggle. Mr.. Johnston said that
President Cleveland had no right to
disobey a law passed by congress, and,
if he did, he is liable to impeachment

day outside the camps?" asked Gen.
Johnston.
Col Allen explained the absence of

of representatives concurring, that the ques-
tion of recognition by this government OF

as the lawmaking power.
Resolved further, that this preroganve OF
sovereignty does not appertain to the eXecu-
tive department of the government except
in so far as the president is, under the con-
stitution by the exercise of the veto made
a part of the w-making power OF the gov
ernment.
The Chiffon resolution recites that a
state of war exists in Cuba, which en-
titles the parties to recognition as belli-
gerents and that the United States
should maintain a strict neutrality. MT.
Chiffon said he would urge the resolu-
ton as an amendment to those report

tions. The resolution is as follows:
On motion of Mr.. Sherman, the Call

WESTERN SETTLERS.
Stay Granted In a Case Involving
Their Rights

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21-Solicitor
General Conrad filed motion with the
supreme court today to set aside the
judgement entered, and to grant
new hearing in the case of the North
err Pacific railway versus Leonard P.
Colburn, in order that the United
States may have, an opportunity to
Intervene. He stated that the case in
viewed the rights Of many thousands
of settlers. The case was appealed
from Montana. where Colburn claimed
land within the Northern Pacific grant
on a settlement made prior to the To-
cation of the grant, though no filing
had been made. The interior depart
'ment had uniformly held that such set
tlement exempted land from the opera
tions of a grant. The supreme court
took the opposite view IN the Colburn
case, and rendered an opinion which
the land Office officials say must result
in ousting many settlers from their
homes ali through the West if allowed
to stand. The court granted a stay of
the mandate and will consider the mo-
tion to set aside its former judgment

SANGUILLY ON TRIAL.
Second Hearing of His Case Begun
at Havana.

. HAVANA, Dec, 21.-The re-trial of
the case of Julio Sanguilly, on charge
of treason and conspiracy, began at
10 o'clock today. Sanguilly arrived in
court escourted by eight gendarmes.
The trial opened with the reading by
chief clerk of the prosecutors petition
that the defendant should be sentenced
to imprisonment for life and pay half
the expense of the trial. Sanguilly's
attorney, Antonio Mesa, entered a pro-
test against the trial as infringing the
protocol of the treaty between Spain
and the United States, which makes
necessary and requisite jury compos-
ed of six persons. He refused to ac-.
cept the jury, and claimed that the
law Of Jan. II, 1877, was deficient in
not having been duly recorded. Senior
Mesa's protest on the ground Of the
law not having been recorded, will
form the basis of a new appeal to the
supreme court at Madrid, which will
probably be successful. The testimony
of other minor witnesses was then re-
ceived, and the trial was continued un-
til tomorrow

OF SUFFOCATI0N WHEN
REACHED.
DEATH TOTAL PROBABLY SMALL.
Accident Caused by a Fall of Rock
Which Exploded n Store of
Dynamite.

WlLkESBARRE Pa, 21.-A terrific
explosion of gas occurred this after
neon in Baltimore Shaft No. 2, of the
delaware and Hudson Coal company.
over twenty miners were imprisoned.
but at late hour tonight fourteen
had been rescued alive, and there was
still hope of reaching the others be-
fore the deadly after damp claimed
them as victims. Immediately after
the disaster became known, rescue
gangs descended the shaft, but it was
scme time before the ventilation had
been so managed that they could work
In safety. The party which entered the
mine at 9:45 tonight succeeded in push
ing their way to the plane where the
imprisoned men had been working, and
there they stumbled over the bodies
of a number of unconscious men. AS
quickly as the work could be accom-
plished, they were brought to the sur
face, where corps of doctors was in
waiting. Wrapped in blankets some
of the victims were sent to their homes
and some to hospitals. The physicians,
nave hopes that all may recover. Had
they been in the mine five minutes
longer, all would probably have died
of suffocation.
John Healy, one of the rescuers who
was first to discover the bodies on the
plane, says the men were huddled
closely together They had apparently
abandoned all hope of rescue and wero
resolved to die together. The suppo-
siticn is that the men, when they real
lied their danger, made their way to.
the highest point on the plane. The
smoke found it's way to them, how
ever, and they were all but suffocated
when found.
The theory of the explosion is that
there was fall of rock on the slope
where the. dynamite was stored, that
the dynamite exploded and the smoke
filled the plane Grief was turned to
joy when the rescued men were brought
to the surface. Women and children
Wept and strong men elapsed each
other in their arms
1t is probable that those men who
were In the Immediate vicinity of the
spot where the explosion occurred were
the only ones killed, and their number
may not be more than four or five.

Carthy started the third round with another
wicked uppercut. Then Ryan mixed things
up in manner to delight the crowd. He hit
Mccarthy on the head and face with right

fourth Ryan had it all his own way, hitting
Mccarthy when and where he pleased In

choose, but his blows seemed to lack the
strength for knockout. After two minutes

the representatives of the Transconte-

Office of Chairman Caldwell for the pur-
pose of considering circuitous route
rates, which have of late been in a bad
condition. The melting was in session
all day, but no action was taken. The
finding Of the meeting, when it is COM
pleted, will be made to the next gen
eral meeting of the Transcontinental
Passenger association. There Is
strong disposition on the part Of some
of the roads to abolish these rates al
together, but it is generally admitted
that the time for this has not come
as yet.
1t is said that several important
changes will be made in the freight
department of the Rock Island on
January 1. One of the changes Ger
tain to be made is that H. A. Snyder

truth as to the death of "the brave

called for order.
The Marquis di Rudini protested
against Signor Imbriani's remarks,
and said that if Italy wished to main

OTHER ROADS PUzzLED.

The Soo's cut in grain, -four and
millstuff rates from Minneapolis to the
East, the official tariffs for which were
published in Sundays G o e, has
stirred up competing lines, and the
rate will very likely cause some fun.
The 500 claims that the rate was made
to meet the competition of the Wiscon-
sin Central via Kewaunee and the lake,

There appears to be some specula-
ton as to what the rate really means.
One general freight official said yes
terday: IF the rate applies via the
Soo's regular steamboat line, and In
broken bulk, it is not a cut rate at all,
the road simply applying its Milwaukee
