WOES OF A GOVERNOR.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 1.-THE
job of governor is not always
one of unalloyed pleasure. Not
long since a gentleman from a
central Texas county arrived in
Austin and for two or three
days lie fairly haunted the gov
ernor's office. His mission here
was to obtain the pardon of a
friend who had been sent up
for manslaughtef or some such
trivial offense. He was armed
with innumerable petitions,
letters, ETC., and after examining
the papers closely the governor
noted we'll the letters of the dis
trict judge, district attorney
and jury that tried the case and
the pardon was granted. Moth
ing more was thought of the
matter until a day or two ago,
when an address denouncing the
governor for pardoning convicts
appeared in some of the news
papers. The address was sign
ed by seven men, one of whom
was the same Individual that
had so besought the governor to
grant the pardon alluded TO
above. Of course such things
are calculated to make the chief
executive feel more or less sore,
or will cause him to be slower
still in exercising the pardon
ing power, although the records
show that he has exercised it
less than any other governor,
taking the first year of his adj
ministration as a criterion.

defense. but, as already stated
in these dispatches, the protec-

remainder Of the escort was
compelled to retreat to a plan

gent loss was 20 killed and a
number wounded.

A WATER MAIN BURSTS.
Houses Washed in the River.
Loss of Life.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 11.-At
an early hour this morning an
immense water main burst with
terrific force on Franklin ave-
nue. hill just west of the Cuya-
hoga river and several hundred
feet of the hill, on which were
located many small houses,
was washed into the river.
a small one story frame
house occupied by Mrs. Mary
Ravey, go years old, was inun-
dated and hurled into the river.
Mrs. Ravey was drowned.
A New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio freight train was
passing the foot of the hill and
several cars were swept into the
river. Three of the train crew
were carried down with the
cars Two men jumped and es-
capped but the third was dump
ed into the river and badly in
.jured.
Houses were washed along or
dropped into a great pit scoop
ed out by the raging water and
much damage was done.
Many narrow escapes from
death are reported. John Nc
Dermott lived in the rear of his
saloon, corner of Franklin ave-
nue. and Columbus street. His
wife and two children slept in
the back room and the hus-
band in the room adjoining.
About 8 o'clock the Waterman
from the Columbus street bridge
aroused McDermott by break
ing his window. He found his
wife sleeping with a child on
either side and the water al
most on a level with their
heads. He carried them all to
the street in their nightclothes.

CUBA UNDER WEYLER.
Another Chapter in Cuban His
tory Opened.

HaV ana, Feb. 1.-THE great
est activity was displayed in
military circles today. Tue
festivities in honor of the ar
rival here Of General Weyler,
the new captain general, who
landed yesterday from the
steamship Alfonso XIII, have
ended and another chapter III
the history of the island of
Cuba has been opened. AT the
captain generals headquarters
the reports which he sent for
on his arrival, telling Of the
number of men available for
actual service, the number Of
sick, the quantity of ammuni-
ton and supplies in possession
of each column or detachment,
the state of the railroad and
telegraph lines and the strength
of the enemy were being collat-
ed by a number of clerks. 1t
is understood that steps are
being taken to organize a large
cavalry brigade for Immediate
service. Considerable difficulty
is being experienced in secur-
ing the necessary animals, as a
great number of them have been
corralled by the enemy. But
it is expected that the efforts Of
the captain general will result
in strongly reinforcing the
mounted infantry now at the
disposal of the Spanish COM
manders.
Orders were issued this morn
ing from headquarters to make
considerable increase in the
number of armored railroad
cars for the use of troops.
These cars have been of great
assistance to the Spaniards in
protecting conveyances of pro.
visions passing through parts
of the country infested by in
surgents. Pilot engines are also
protected, and are sent forward
in order to guard against eX-
plosions of dynamite along the
road and on the military train
itself. Sometimes there are
two of these armored cars at
tached to one train. One for
ward car is placed Immediately
after the engine and the other
brings up the rear. Both are
filled with troops and protected
with boiler iron in most cases,
although this has been found to
be of insufficient protection, in
nearly all cases insurgent bull
lets passing through the cars.
Therefore, recently armor has
been doubled in thickness. But
there is no time for improve
ment. For instance, news was
received here this morning that
the insurgents had succeeded in
derailing a pilot engine between
Coliseo and Sumedrio. The
work was done so effectively
that the military train, with its
armored car, was under the fire
of the insurgents very soon af
t-rward. But, thanks to the
gallant defense Of the military
detachment defending it, the
train was rescued. In addition,

| ing events as they were then. For in
stance: A little while before the con-
vention of the democratic party this year
| Mr.. Carlisle, secretary of the treasury,
| speaking to body of business men, who
were giving him dinner in Boston, said:
"The free coinage movement has lost its
momentum, and is no longer formidable
or aggressive. 1t Is not strong
enough to exert a controlling influence in
the councils of either of the great politi-
cal parties" At the very moment when
Mr.. Carlisle was speaking those words
the free coinage movement, instead of
having lost its momentum, was rapidly
increasing it, Instead of being mo longer
formidable or aggressive" it was daily
and hourly growing more formidable and
aggressive, and kept on growing so until,
at Chicago, but a few brief months after
he thus spoke to the business men Of
Boston, 1t controlled by an overwhelming
majority the councils of the very party of
which Mr.. Carlisle was himself a MEM
Der. He had been living so long in WASH
ington as secretary of president from
Wall street, and dining and wining SO
much among the millionaireS and trust
magnates of the east-the bodies of
business men"-that he had lost touch
with the great body of the people who in
habit the vast territory in the union, out
side of that section, that is q terra incog-
nita to those millionaires and magnates,
and was in total ignorance of the prevail
ing sentiment in his own party. l mean
that organization which was his party
before he left it to keep company with
the president from Wall street and it's
millionaire magnates, and which is today,
as it was in the days of Jefferson, the
party of the people.
No one can know the people, their
wants, their feelings and purposes, who
lives apart from them and is not in full
sympathy with them. The jewellers in
the palaces in the cities Of the east are
as ignorant of the "momentum''-as blind
to the significance of the present move
ment among the people of this country
as the dweller in the palace at Versailles
was to the movement among the french
people when La Rochefoucald went to
him there and told him the real state of
things at Paris in July, 1889. 1T is an
instruction, then" said his majesty.
"Sire," answered La Rochefoucald, lit
is a revolution"
Those gorgeous gentlemen and ladies'
the two or three thousand aristocrats
who glittered around Louis XVI and
Marie Antoinette at Versailles, for whose
maintenance 26, 900, 900 of people were tax
ed to starvation, did not any more COM
prehend the meaning of the uprising of
those people than do the money grandees
in this Countrywide privileged class for
whose special benefit the masses are tax
ed-comprehend the meaning of the up
rising of the American people today.
But the American revolution of 1896 will
be accomplished not--like the French
revolution of 17S9-by the sword, but by
the ballot,

THE KISNEF CT ID DANCE
1t was Very Pretty Affair and One of the
%easOn's Delightful Events

esttOu Events
The Kismet club ball at the Garfield
last night was a most delightful social
event. There were about forty couples
present, representing, without any at
tempt at fattery. the beauty and chiv-
airy of the Peerless Princess. The
yN1ng ladies were especially charming,
ana, in their pretty costumes of various
colOrs and sparkling jewels, presented
a picture that Wichita should feel proud
OF. Very few new faces are seen al
the Kismet club dances but they are
faces that are loYelier at each recurring
event. OF course there were few visi-
tors and attention was naturally di-
rected towards them as, IN the plan Of
gentiLty il ought TO be. but with all due
respect to them they were not superior
in dress, taste, or Ioveliness 10 the girls
of Wichita
The musicians platform was very ar
tistically decorated with ferns. palms
and flowers and presented a very nice
appearance. The music was furnished
by Professor Sanford's orchestra and
was, Of course, very good Behind the
palms the ladies presided over bowl
of punch that was Mt for the gods and
as tempting and alluring as fountain Of
perpetual youth.

''Third-The existing demand for can

fire began in the southeast corner on
the lower floor and quickly spread
through the center of the building.
There was nothing in THAI corner Of
the building which could cause the FIRE
