wevler,s New Policy.

Havana, Sept. 1.-The rebels must be
defeated before the end Of the year
Premier Canoyas cabled to General Wey'
Ter explaining that the Spanish govern
ment has taken alarm at the develop
ments Of recent interview between U,
s. Minister Taylor and the Duke ol
Tetuan, minister of foreign affairs. Gen
Weyler cabled back to Madrid that in
that case he must resort to extreme
methods.
"Do as you please" replied senor
Canovas.
Thereupon General Weyler determined
to issue shortly an edict forbidding the
grinding OF the seasons sugar crop.
When the edict appears, war will be-
gin in earnest Cubans will occupy hills
and woods, the Spanish troops will be in
cities and towns. The sugar mill will be
destroyed by both sides, for Weylel will
adopt Gomez's tactics, and enter upon q
campaign OF extirpation. Cuba will be
desolated by fire and sword. The torch
will be applied by regulars and insur-
gents alike to everything which might
give aid and comfort to the enemy,
Everybody outside the military lines will
be shot without challenge.
There was panic in political and fin
aneial quarters when General Weyler'e
intention leaked out The Marquis Of
Apezteguia, the chief of the conservative
party, was Immediately summoned to
Havana by wire and arrived yesterday
from the Constanzis sugar plantation,
where he was making extensive prepare,
tions for next years crop. A meeting ol
the conservative leaders was held. Plant
ers and politicians of great influence were
present, After long and hot discussion

ATHENA. SEPTEMBER 4, 1896.

Mr.. McKinley's speech to a Wis
iting delegation on Saturday show
cd how hard it is for q candidate
to dismount from his hobby, even
in the face of an emergency that is
obvious to everybody else. In bring
ing forward the old "free-trade"
bugaboo the Republican candidate
was equally uncandid and impol-
itic. Upon this question it seems
to be impossible for Mr.. Mckinley
to be honest in discussion. He
knows that the present tariff, far
from being "free trade" is as high
ly protective as any tariff in the his
tory of the country except that
which bore his name and which
the people twice condemned. SO
far from having "dethroned Ameri-
can manufacturing" the Wilson
tariff has enabled our manutactur-
ers to increase their exports from
$158, 100000 in 1892 to $22S,000,-
900 in 1896. AS for wages Mr.. Nc.
Kinley no doubt remembers that
he was challenged in vain in 1890
to cite one instance in which the
wages in protected industries had
been advanced as the result of the
increase of duties in his bill.
When Mr.. Mckinley proposes to
restore his tariff to increase the
revenues, the country remembers
that the avowed object of his. bill
increasing the duties was to reduce
the Surplus. And so effectively
did it accomplish its purpose that
there was deficiency in the rev.
enues in each of the last three
months of President Harrison's
term. The country wants q rest
on the tariff until the present law
shall have had fair trial under
normal business conditions-that
is, with sound and stable curren-
cy, under no threats of deprecated
money or debt repudiation. Mr..
Mckinley will gain no votes by
mounting the high-tariff hobby
and charging upon the wholly i'm
aginary bugaboo of 'free trade. -

ONCE MORE IN A TRANCE.

The Semblance of Death Again Visits
Mrs. Mary Albertson.
There is sequel to the escape OF Mrs.
Mary s. Albertson, OF Columbia slough,
from being inhumed alive early this
month, says the La Grande Chronicle.
On the 10th inst. Mrs. Mary Albertson
had sufficiently recovered to accept an
invitation from friends near Grants Pass
She was taken very sick two days after
here arrival there. On the third day she
was apparently dead. But from her mar
row escape from being buried alive be-
fore, she certainly would have been sub
jected to one of the most horrible fates
the human mind can conceive, on the
Southern Oregon farm Blochmeier,
whose family Mrs. Albertson is visiting,
writes that Grants Pass physician ap'
piled galvanic battery Immediately
after death had claimed the woman, but
it proved unavailing till last Tuesday
noon. Then the cataleptic attack gradu-
ally abandoned the patient, and at 4
O'Clock she asked for drink of water
She, however, failed to realizs where she
was having delightful visit. In this in.
stance she was perfectly unconscious OF
terrestrial life, and as the theosophists
have it, her astral body had been mean
dering about in celestial realms.
BloChmeier adds that it was fully two
hours before Mrs. Albertson could grasp
who he and his family were, and it was
almost impossible to convince her that
she had been in death-like trance for
five days.
"She remembered nothing about her
leaving home," continued the writer,
"and for several hours she ravled like
one demented for one having been brought
back to this earth. At nine o'clock at
night, however, she grew calmer and
quite lucid. She was then able to realize
her phenomenal situation. When she
was bright enough to appreciate her
second narrow escape from living burial,
she went into commissions, and at mid
night she again was in trance"
The letter in Thurman's possession
says that since then up to Friday even
ing, Mrs. Albertson, has but once been
brought to herself by means of galvanic
battery. She has not taken any nourish-
ment since her attack on the farm, and
she was wasted away to mere shadow
A strong feature in connection with this
case is that while in the trance condition
Mrs, Albertson's respiration and pulsa-
tion are absolutely imperceptible. Yet
she must breathe, and her heart must be
in action. Her medical attendant, who
is skilled one, say the afflicted woman g
life hangs on the slightest thread, and
certain death is likely to ensue at any
moment. But in this case there will be
no interment till decomposition has set
in.

this campaign and how the people

this campaign and how the people
of old Montgomery county feel
about Bryan. The people in the
gold mining district are about 95
per cent for Bryan and Sewall.
One of our neighbors, w. S. STRAIT
ton, gave $4,000 the other day for
the Bryan cause. He is the sole
owner of the famous Independence
gold mine. He has always hereto
fore been Republican, and while
he is a protectionist he feels that
the west demands some favors at
the hands of national legislation.
His mine pays him about 100000
month. He will do all he can
for the Democratic ticket, This
district does not produce an ounce
of silver and the claim cannot be
made that silver mine owners are
interested in this part Of the state.
Of course I am still republican,
but I feel as if the people should
have some show for the future, il
not for themselves for their child
rem. We old line. Republicans feel
very lonely this season, and the
showing we can make will be de-
cidedly small in Colorado"
Mr.. Patterson was for six years
clerk of the court in this county
and was active in Republican
campaign work here for years

The Democratic Platform.

The platform which has been heralded
to the people of these United States by
the democratic party in convention as
sembled, on which it is predicted the
brilliant Bryan will be swept to victory
by tidal wave is as follows;
We, the democrats of the United States,
in national convention assembled, do re-
affirm our allegiance to those great essen
tial principles of justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded, and
which the democratic party has main
tanned from Jefferson's time to our own
freedom of speech, freedom of the press,
freedom Of conscience, the preservation
of personal rights, the equality of all
citizens before the law, and the faithful
observance of constitutional limitations.
Recognising that the money question
is paramount to all others at this time,
we invite attention TO the fact that the
federal constitution names silver and
United States, and that the first coinage
law passed by congress under the consti-
tuition made the silver dollar the unit OF
value and admitted gold to free coinage,
at a ratio measured by the silver dollar
unit.
We declare that the act of 1878 de-
monetixing oliver without the knowledge
or approval OF the American people has
resulted in the appreciation of gold and
corresponding fall in the prices of
commodities produced by the people; 8
heavy increase in the burden OF taxation,
and OF all debts, public and private; the
enrichment OF the money-lending classes
at home and abroad; paralysis OF indus
tries and impoverishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to the sim
gle gold standard, which has locked fast
the prosperity OF an industrious people
in the paralysis Of hard times. Gold
'monometallism is q British policy.

Baseball Revival. .

A baseball revival has struck La
Grande, and the Chronicle boastfully re.
marks: The baseball grounds at the
athletic park, in the First ward, are being
dragged and smoothed in expectation OF
some fall sport at the national American
game.
Several swift teams can be formed from
the ball players in this city. La Grande
is the only place in Eastern Oregon which
has won and held the championship of
the Inland Empire at professional base
ball.
Our speedy players should practice up
and chow the baseball tossers OF Baker
City, Pendleton, Summervllle, Union and
the Cove, that La Grande has also the
amateur, champions Of Eastern Oregon.

in which General Weyler's expected edict
was denounced without stint, resolutions
were adopted to this purpose:
First--That committee composed of
the Marquis Of Apezteguia, Pasquel Col
gocha and Fatacco Sanchez visit Weyler
and try to prevail upon him not to issue
the edict.
Second-If he persists in his determi-
nation to issue the edict, that the govern
ment at Madrid be urged to recall Weyler
to Spain.
These audacious resolutions are the
talk of the city, as it is well known that
Spanish rule in Cuba has always been
upheld hy and in control of the conser-
vative party, especially in times of war,
and that the party's resolutions are in eff.
feet law. 1t will not be the first case OF
a captain-general being virtually dis.
missed by the Cuban conservatives. In
the last war Captain General Dulce was
sent back to Spain by the volunteers
conservatives. Captain General Campos
was also sent to Spain by them.

AT THE coming election the
women of the three states of Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming will have
the right to vote for president and
vice-president. In those states the
women are put on an equality
with the males as regards the right
to vote. They can vote equally
with the males for presidential elec-
tors, congressman and Legislature,
This will increase the total vote,
but will not add to the number OF
presidential electors either of these
states is entitled to. The electors
are distributed in proportion to the
total population, and not in regard
to the number of voters.

receive his training in most practical

WAys
At New York receiving training ship
the Minnesota, is stationed all the year
round, excepting when she is ordered off
on summer cruise, and the apprentices
on board are educated at the expense OF
the government and trained 30 as to make
first-class seaman. The course is not 30
elaborate as that OF Annapolis, but is a
great deal more thorough than is received
in many OF the public schools.
An apprentice who shows marked in
telligence and willingness to learn may
be given the opportunity of taking a COM
plete course in gunnery, electrical work
and torpedo work, and he is then fitted
to fill position of warrant officer.
Unlike the army, though, there is at
present no way for young man to ac-
quire commission, except by taking the
course at Annapolis.
A custom formerly existed in the navy
of taking certain percentage OF appren-
tices for the navy academy, and some ol
the best officers of the navy acquired their
commission in this way, but it was found
that this custom worked more harm than
good. and it has been abolished.
According to Captain Merrell there ls
always room for young men of the right
kind in the navy as apprentices, and
these, applying at the receiving ship In
dependence in Sau Francisco, need have
no fear of being refused.

How and Where They Can Serve

How and Where They Can Serve a
Marine Apprenticeship.
Several inquiries from parents OF Am
erican you this have been lately received
by The Oregonian asking how they can
get their boys into the new navy. In
one such communication, fond mother
writes that she has boy 1S years old,
who has finished his schooling and Is now
looking about, with poor success, for an
opening in some of the vocations of life,
Her boy is strong, healthy and wants to
get into the navy and go on cruiser that
will visit foreign ports, so that he can
see something OF the world. "But,"
writes his mother, che does not know to
whom to apply in regard TO shipping"
Unfortunately, no attaches of the naval
department are stationed at Portland, but
Captain Merrell, Of the United States
lighthouse department, enlightened a
reporter to some extent on this point
yesterday.
The new navy provides, according to
Captain Merrell, Tor an apprentice system
with room for some 500 boys, between
the ages of IL and 2l Receiving stations
are located at New York and San Fran
cisco, and training ships on the great
lakes receive youthful recruits from al.
most all OF the lake ports,
