SpaniardS EXpecI War.

LONDON: A Madrid special to the
Times says: The relations between the
United States and Spain are outwardly
friendly. But there is no use in attempt
ing 10 disguise the fact that the Madrid
Government is straining every nerve to
place the defensive forces of the kingdom
on footing which would enable Spain to
give a good accounted herself in the event
of war with the United States after March
4 next.
The situation appears to be this: Spain
is ready to make certain concessions in
the nature of wider local government for
Cuba, provided the United States with
holds the proclamation granting bellig-
erency status to the insurgents. The mo-
ment this is put forth 10y Mr.. Cieveland's
successor there will be an end of friendly
relations between Madrid and Washing
ton, and no more thoughts of concessions
for Cuba except those to be extorted at
the point of the hayonet.

Reds on the Warpath.

NoGALEs, Arizona: Wednesday morn
ing the citizens of Nogalcs, on both sides
of the international line, were aroused by
fusilade of shots. Rushing to ascertain

the interests of Santo Teresa de Cabora.
AS result seven Indians are dead, two
are badly wounded and will die, and one
is prisoner, Two celadores (MeXican
custom guards) are dead. Another is
mortally wounded, and the keeper of a
fruit stand Is dead.
Intense excitement prevails, and busi-
ness is almost at a standstill. A posse
was organized to follow the escaping
revolutlonists. A courier brought news
from the mountains Of an encounter with
Indians, Poncinio San chez, shief of police
of Nogales, Sonora; Juan Fernandez,
whose brother was killed, and two others,

Bradstreet's Review.

NEW YORK: Bradstreefs says: The
volume of business throughout the coun-
try is practically unchanged. New feat
ures do not point to Improvement in pros
poets for fall business. Industries gen.
orally continue quiet. with more idle men
than week ago. The most significant
feature was higher rates for money early
IN the week, with some difficulty in OBJ
tanning time money. This disappeared
with manifest reaction against the free
silver sentiment which followed the silver
demonstration at New York August II.
There is little or no demand for iron or
steel, notwithstanding the capacity of fur
naces in blast was restricted during July
more than $4,000 tons. Manufacturers of
hardware and jewelry report business ex-
cessively dull. The brighter side of the
picture is found in generally favora bic
crop conditions at the south, which have
stimulated buying at Baltimore, Savan-
nah, New Orleans and Texas.

Democratic Candidates Accept.
William Jennings Bryan formally ac-
cepted the Democratic presidential NOM
ination at Madison Square Garden, in
New York, Wednesday night Mr.. Bry-
ans run across country had played havoc
with his voice. He had gone to bed the
uighU previous with a well-deyeloped at
tack of laryngitis and had been con-
fined to his room under the doctors care
all of Wednesday. 1t was at first feared
that he would not be able 10 speak at
all. Mr.. Bryan, for the most part, made
no effort to deal in oratory, but confined
himself to the reading of a carefully pre-
pared address, from whose text he did
not vary, as from his manuscript he only
now and then lifted his eyes.
1t was a scene to inspire an orator.
Madison Square Garden is a beautiful
auditorium with it's shallow galleries, its
great tiers of boxes at the rounded ends
Of the hall, its low roof studded with
electric lights. Eighteen thousand peo-
pie had assembled in the big place at 8.
o'clock. Every one of the $500 seats was
occupied. and 10000 persons stood in the
open spaces at the ends of the hall
These people had assembled with a huge
stock of good nature, and perhaps one in
five of them came with genuine enthusi-
asm in his heart. All were there TO greet
one upon whom the mantle of fame had
dramatically fallen.
The big hall filed early, not without
huch confusion at the entrances. When
the crowd saw ''Silver Dick" Bland it set
up a shout. which was as nothing to the

A Union Pacific Suit

OMAHA: A suit has been fled in the
United States circuit court which is likely
to demonstrate just what permanent bene-
fits the men on the Union Pacific are to
reap from the famous wage schedule con-
ference held before Judge Caldwell in
March, 1894. Among the rules adopted
was one which provided that no man
could be discharged without just cause,
and another was that the schedule of pay
fixed upon at that time was not to be
altered except by order of the court. The
men in the telegraph branch of the service
allege that both of these provisions have
been violated

hurled down the stone steps countless
times and many were roughly handled
One of their flags was torn, and they were
subjected to great abuse. The mob was
led by Hans Schwarz, who mounted a

acts of violence. Police protection was
appealed for and refused, but later Capt.

and Uttered the ground for miles. Eng-

Decides Against RAILWAYS.

Los ANGELES, CAL: Judge Welborn
of the United States circuit court, rem
dered decision declaring that the Gov
ernment has the right to fix the rate for
transportation OF troops, or other govern
ment business, including the mails, over
any road. 1t is estimated that the decis-
ion will make difference Of from s45.-
900, 900 to $50, 100000 in the amount paid
by the Government every year for trans
portation of mails, troops and other bus
mess. The suit of which this decision is
the outcome, was brought by the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad, hacked by all the
other land grant roads, as a test case. A
trooper, who travelled from Albuquerque, A
n. NJ, to Prescott, A. T., refused to pay
lull fare and rendered the conductor just
half the regular price of a ticket. The
conductor refused to accept this, and,

she came in with Mr.. St. John and took

righto shouted one enthusiast, at which
the people laughed and cheered again.
Presently a lusty shout near the main
entrance, which was taken up and rolled
TO the far ends of the big hall, announced
the arrival of the hero of the hour.
After Mr.. Bryan had worked to the
front of the platform and smiled and
bowed to the audience which cheered him
for fully a minute, Mr.. Jones, chairman
of the national committee, introduced
Elliott Danforth of New York as chair
man of the meeting. Mr. Danforth mere

conclusion turned and placed in Mr.. Bry-
ans lands big roll of parchment, on

audience rose to its feet and cheered. The
band played, and an enthusiast excitedly
waved an American flag over Mr.. Bry-
ans head
Chairman Danforth's Introduction Of
Mr. Bryan was followed by an uproarious
demonstration, which continued persist
emily for several minutes. Bryan himself
waved his hand deprecatingly, but the
enthusiastic ones went on with their
shouting. Chairman Danforth raped

pf the boxes waved a chair out over the

three cheers for Bryan. Chairman Jones
appealed for order, and another Tam
nanyite distinguished himself by calling
for three cheers and a tiger. Finally those
who wanted to hear what Mr.. Bryan had
20 say hissed the ones who wanted to hear
the sound of their own voices, and then
prder was restored.
Mr.. Bryan began reading his manu-
script. 1t was painfully evident. how
ever, that the candidate was not himself.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for one hour and fifty
minutes, and the hands of the clock
pointed to 1875 when he finished the
peroration addressed to the citizens of
New York. The terrific heat had made
the upper galleries almost unendurable,
and before Mr. Bryan had finished a ma
jority of their occupants had de6led
through the doors. Candidate Sewall
was very heartily cheered when he step
ped forward after he, with ''Silver Dick"
Bland and other leaders On the stage, had
grasped Mr.. Bryan's hand in congratula-
tion. Mr.. Sewall wore black frock coat
buttoned tightly about his breast. He
was handed the formal notification
Of his nomination by Senator Jones. Mr..
Sewall makes no pretensions to oratorica1
ability, and, although his voice might fill

about the floor. His words were
few, and at 1851 Chairman Danforth de-
dared the meeting adjourned.
