British Bouquets For Bayard.

= London. November 3O.-The anniversary
dinner of the Royal Society was given to-
night. Among the guests was Hon. Thomas
f. Bayard, who proposed toast to Joseph
Lister, the president of the society. Mr.
Bayard paid handsome tribute to the
work achieved by the soicety. Sir Joseph,
replying to the toast, eulogized Bayard who,
he said, had endeared himself to everybody,
by his genuine love for the old country.
Bayard, he added, must have feeling of
the greatest satisfaction as he (Mr. Bayard)
had privately remarked to him during the
evening that the hope of his life had been
almost fulfilled and when he left, he would
be able to feel that the clouds that had once
seriously threatened the amicable relations
of the United States and Great Britains, had
entirely cleared away during his term of
office. This Sir Joseph ascribed as largely
due to Mr.. .Bayard's beneficent efforts.

Swift Action By British Government.

New York, November SO.-A Herald spec
ial from Victoria, B. c., says. That the
wheels of British diplomatic circles move
swiftly when British subjects are outraged
by foreign powers is evinced by case in
which all residents of this province are in
terested. The first intfmation came on
Thursday last in telegram to Premier
Turner from Bell Irving,a well-known mer-
chant of Vancouver, who stated that his
brothers -in-law, Messrs. Beattie, both be-
sidents of British Columbia had been arrest
ed by the Spanish in Cuba, wrongfully i'm
prisoned, and sentenced to death.
Mr.. Irving asked that the government of
British Columbia take immediate action in
their behalf, and the premier at once tele-
graphed the Hon. G. G. Vernon, the British
consular agent general in London, asking
that he communicate with the foreign
office and urging prompt inquiry and protec-
ton for the British Columbians. At the same
time Lieut.. Gov. Dodney cabled to the secre-
tary of state asking him to interview the
foreign office also Immediate replies were
received both from the Hon. Mr.. Vernon and
the secretary of state. The former, in tact,
cabled within Is hours after the despatch of
the premier's message to him, stating that
the desired steps had been taken and the
foreign Office would insure the safety of
Messrs. Beattie and all other British resi-
dents in Cuba.

The Glass Trust All Right.

Indianapolis, Ind, November so.-The
Glass Manufacturers Association met at the
Denison hotel today. Forty-nine factories
in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania were
represented. H. Sellers Mckee of Pittsburg,
president Of the association, denied that
the glass trust had collapsed He said: "Our
agreement expires tomorrow and we are
here simply to make arrangements for re-
newing the agreement. wage scale has
been arranged and the factories represented
in the association are to start up December
10. 1t is not true that several factories in In
diana have started up Independent Of the
trust Those reports were started by job
bers in the hope of controlling prices which,
they cannot do while the trust exists
This afternoon it was announced that 1t
had been concluded to reorganize the asso-
citation on the old lines. 1t is believed the
price of window glass will be materially in
creased.

NO GOLD CERTIFICATES.
Story that Government viii Resume Their
Issue Denied.

Washington, November 30.-There is no
present likelihood that the treasury depart
ment will voluntarily resume the issue of
gold certificates for bullion gold deposited.
Within the past week sterling exchange has
gradually grown stronger, until now it has
reached within fraction of gold exporting
point. During December and January it is
usual for imports to be heavy as result of
which gold has to be sent abroad in Janu-
ary and February to meet the payment of
goods thus imported. At present the gold
reserve is $50, 100000 above the reserve limit
and the treasury rather discourages than
otherwise the receipts of gold, as it reduces
its supply Of currency. In round figures it
has on hand net $7O.0O,o0O in currency
available for its daily business.

ashington, November 30.-Ex-Secretary

ter trip to Hawaii wither he went to Sc
cure concession from the Hawaiian gov
ernment for a cable from Honolulu to Japan
and Australia, as part of the concession
which that government has given Col.
Spaulding. Gen. Foster found the Hawaiian
government undisposed to grant any further
concessions west, until the Congress OF the
United States had decided what action it
would take with respect to the cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu. II Congress
votes subsidy for the latter cable, Hawaii
Will grant a concession for an extension to
Asia and Australia. If the United States does
not subsidize the San francisco and Homo
lulu cable, the Hawaiian government pre-
fers to be in position to entertain proposit-
ions from other governments which desire to
connect the island with Japan and the
south.

Report Of Life saving service.

Washington, November 3o.-The report of
General Superintendent Kimpan of the life
savings service exhibits the most satisfac-
tory results yet accomplished. The annual
loss of life since 1887 when the service was
extended to the sea and lake coasts to June
80, 1895, has been liz persons on board ves-
sells involved in disaster and loss of proper
ty 81 per cent of the value imperilled. The
cost OF the service for the year is 81, ,04O, 300.
Attention is again called to the inadequacy
of the compensation of superintendents of
life saving DISTRICTS who are charged with
onerous duties and required to furnish
heavy bonds, in some cases with penalty
as high as S60, 900. An annual compensa-
ton of $1,000 y deemed no more than simple
Justice and is therefore recommended.

ported skirmiahes In which the losses on
either side were trif1ing. The rebels to-
day blew up with dynamite a bridge near
Seiba Mocha, province of Matanzas,
while train was passing over It, An
armored car attached to this train was
wrecked and one solder wounded.
Thus far 27S members of the Mango
society, which is made up Of criminals
and rufflans of every description, have
been exlied to the African penal colonies.
This society was very active towards
aud after the close of the ten yeai Is war,
and it's members have taken advantage
Of the present condition of affairs to COM
nit all manner of Grimes.
GThe authorities are making every effort
to extradtte them. An order has been
issusd by the local treasury to prevent
the expectation of tobacco grown in the
provinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana
from the ports of other provinces.

Extra session Necessarx. .

Canton, November Ex-senator Lodge
came from Washington to discuss the prob
abilities of legislative action at the ap-
preaching session. Many of Major Mckinley s
callers are urging the necessity Of an early
revision of the tariff, and the new Congress
men are especially anxious for an extra ses-
sion of the body to which they have been
elected. The fact that there will be a
weeks shorter session before Christmas
than last ana the unlikelihood of any proper
discussion of the tariff by the outgoing Con-
gress gives weight to the belief here that the
extra session is absolutely necessary.

SUICIDE AT BRoWNFIELD.
Young Man Hangs Himself in Father-in-
laws Barn.
ESPECIAL TO THE PnEss.l

Brownfeld, November 30.-James Mars
ton, aged "a, married and living with his
father -in-law, Mr.. Towle Peary. committed
suicide some time Sunday night or early
Monday morning. 1t is supposed that he
got up some time in the night. lighted the
lantern, took it to the barn and hung it in
the tie. He then blew it out and went to
the hay loft and hanged himself from a
high beam. He was not missed until early
this morning. Search for him was made
and when found life was extinct.
Mr.. Marston had been out of health for
several weeks and was quite respondent at
times.

harness looms left work because reduc-
ton of two cents per cut. They have been
receiving 81 cents cut. New warps were
put in today and new schedule presented,
giving 30 cents cut. They claim it is a

De Young As Cabinet Possibility.

Canton, Ohio, November 30.-Almost every
train seemed to bring visitor to Major Nc
Kinley this morning. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster
had consultation on female suffrage. In
the majors library at noon Mr.. Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts shocks hands with
M. H. DeYoung of San Francisco. MI. De-
Young is looked upon as a formidable cam
didate tor a cabinet position should the Pa

seems to be at least probable. He had a
long conference with Major .ai pley and

Paris, November 3O.-In the Chamber of
Deputies today, M. Jourde, Socialist, moved
that nj. Clauvin, Socialist deputy arrested
yesterday during the demonstration against
the visit ing Socialist deputies at Carmaux,
be individually released by order of the
Chamber. The question was not one of
party, he said, but involved the dignity OF
the Chamber. M. Barthou, minister of the
interior, said if the Chamber ordered
Chauvin's release, the government would
acquieece in the decision. The motion OF M.
Jourde was carried 286 to 76.

Insurgents Well Armed and Equipped
Impossible for Them TO be Starved
Out-Company Officers Thing Most
Needed.
Baltimore, Move mber 3o.-In discussing the
situation in Cuba, Gen. Bradley v. johnson,
who recently returned from there says it is
impossible to get reliable information as to
the Cuban army. "The bankers, planters,
writers, lawyers, doctors, professors of the
University of Fl havana, and the people," said
he, "are supporting the rebellion. The Uni
versity of Havana is a hot bed of patriotism.
The boys run off by the score to join Gomez
and Maceo. Some of the professors are
ministers plenipotenttary from the Cuban
republic to the South American governments
as Franklin and Laurens were from the
American colonies to France in 1777-7S.
''The insurrection is supported by wealth,
by intelligence and conducted with genius
and courage. think the rebels Outright and
out-manoeuver the Spaniards and they
will wear them out. There is no chance
of the rebels being starved in the Pima del
Rio district, for the woods are full of cattle,
hogs and sweet potatoes.
"They will always have plenty to eat.
IlGy are armed WIN heHlnSUOnS, SpenC6TS,
Mausers and every variety of carbine and
revolver, all of them first rate. Their calibres
vary, which is a terrible disadvantage. In
war all cartridges ought to fit all guns Of
the same kind. They have since left got
some dynamite guns, some cannon worked
by compressed air and some guns for smoke
less powder. They have a few American
and foreign artillerists who will rapidly in
struct other foreigners in the service. As
their artillery is reinforced, skilled men will
be ready to use the new cannon.
81 would say without any definite infor-
nation that they need company officers, cap
tains, heutenants, orderly sergeants more
than anything else. They are making the
gamest fight that ever was made, not except
ing that made by the Confederates in the
Civil War. They are wearing out the Span
lard and after Gen. Weyler comes back to
Havana again, the Spaniards will not throw
up the sponge. but will still sit in the town
and make faces at the rebels who will rule
| the country.
