Should Recognize Cuba

Chicago. Dec. 2S.-Hon. John E. Red
mond the Irish member of the British
parliament who is in Chicago to lee
ture tomorrow night, said when asked
his opinion on the Cuban question::
THE United States should by all
means recognize Cuba. This country
is the sponsor for what exists on this
side OF the ocean, and recognition is
the only road left for Uncle Sam. do
not think European powers would in
terfere If the Cubans were recognised
Any one who knows anything about the
relations of nations knows that no
other country is looking to interfere
in SDain's behalf. l do not think that
Spain would go so far as to declare war
against the United States"

will be an international conference.
Several European countries are inter-
ested in the matter and sentiment in
favor of further recognition of silver
through international agreement is
spreading abroad. There may be a
conference within a short time after
Major Mckinley is inaugurated."
OTHER TOPICS.
Senator Wolcott talked on a number
of other topics and remarked that a
pronounced anti-silver man with a rec
ord of opposition to bimetallism would
probably not be looked upon in the
west with favor as secretary of the
treasury. 1t is understood that the fed
eral appointments in Colorado will be
in the main made upon the recommend
alton of Senator Wolcott.
Politicians from Minnesota who were
here today declare that there is active
opposition to the appointment of ex-
Governor Merriam to the cabinet, and
that if he were appointed Senator
Davis would oppose his conformation

States. and invoked the knitting
together of the hearts OF all the
people of the Union for the advan-

Turpie, in. presenting petition
concerning the Turkish massacres,
said the Armenians were charged
with no revolt but only with being
Christians. The time has come,
said he, when there should be an
official notification to Turkey and
to the Mohammedan church that
there has been a decaGence in its
power to proselyte with the sword.
We have already sent message, but

would go crashing through the grand

The fire was started by an incen-

The loss will fall heavily on the
