CLEVELAND AND CUBA.

There may be considerable truth in
!he vstatement that Mr.. Cleveland's
non-committal attitude in the Cuban
matter is due to desire to avoid any
thing that may seem like treading on
the toes of the incoming administra-
tion. Affairs here take decided turn
in Cuba during the past few weeks.
Indeed, up to that time, it is doubtful
whether American interference wonld
have been judicious. Mr.. Cleveland
recognized the situation and made no
aggressive move. Now that the time
appears ripe for action, he has been
criticised by many for maintaining the
same policy of non-interference, yet
his manifest contention that the coun-
try should be committed to no decisive
policy by himself, is soon to resign the
reins of government, is entirely de-
fensible.
Mr.. Mckinley may take up the mat
ter at once and openly counsel Con-
gress to Interfere. If So, he can un-
doubtedly rely upon the full and cor
dial appreciation of Mr.. Cleveland in
his attitude.

The registry law is an abomination In
thatit disfranchises citizens for another
year who neglect to write their names
In book before the close OF the year
preceding. The first duty OF about all
the residents of voters In Pawtncket
and the Blackstone Valley villages is
to register. According to the law this
duty must be performed before Janu'
ary 1st OF the year in which the voter
desires to exercise the privilege. That
means, that every registry voter who
wants to have a share in the political
contests of next year must register on
or before December 81.
The registration must be done at the
City or Town Clerks office, because
there is kept the book provided for the
purpose. 1t is no long-drawn out job ;
it will require only few minutes to
have the whole matter adjusted. No
voter ought to delay in performing the
duty, because he "hss no time"

duty, and it is just as important as will

Sill YER SENATOR'S CONFERENCE

Mr.. Bryan has promised to attend the
conference of silver men which is to be
held In Washington few Gays after
Congress meets, and which will try to
determine the attitude of the silver men
in Congress, not only toward legislation
that is strictly financial in its nature,
but also toward revenue legislation,
which is directly financial. The result
of that conference will come very near
to deciding whether there will be any
revenue legislation at this session. as
suming that the Republicans really de-
sire that there shall not be any, which
is by no means certain. The silver
Senators are in majority, and il they
act together they can dictate the legis-
lation 30 far as the Senate is concerned,
but there is doubt as to whether the
Republican silver Senators will agree
30 act with the silver Democrats on
revenue legislation, and at least one
Populist Senator is also IN doubt.
These doubts are expected to be cleared
up at the conference.

joint convention of Messrs. Hanna and
Mckinney at Canton 10 is not possible,
at the present writing, to state; but the
probability is that when the conference
is over the policy OF the coming admin
istration in important issues will be
pretty clearly defined. That Hanna
himself will be powerful factor in the
manipulation of affairs of state during
the next four years is pretty well proven
by this time, despite the assertion OF
many Republicans that his mission
ended with the election OF Mckinley.

As to Bullets.

A Bridgeport Conn., inventor has
patented "A ''mushrooming bullet. This
is designed to fill very important want
in modern warfare, the new styled rifle
projectile having proved too humane.
The trouble with the latter is that, hav-
ing only the diameter of a lead pencil
and travelling with a velocity of half a
mile u second, it is apt to pass clean
through man without disabling him.
1t lacks what is technically called "stop-
ping power. The bullet devised by the
Bridgeport man has cavity near the
point, which causes it to mushroom"
i. c., spread-on striking, so as "to
produce large and lacerated wound,
accompanied by great shock. In time
OF peace it may be employed for killing
lions, tigers and elephants.
The very newest thing in this line,
however. is the aluminium bullet. Of
course it is very light, aluminium being
only about as heavy as chalk. 1t is not
intended for use in war, but for hunting
and shooting at targets. Ordinary bull
lets have an excess of force for such
purposes, travelling unnecessarily far.
Those Of aluminium, on the other hand,
have about the same force for short dis
tances, but their velocity diminisbes
rapidly beyond 800 yards. For small
game person fond of shooting may
avail himself Of the novel idea of an
other inventor, who suggests that tin
plato shot would be preferable to the
kind now in use. These latter are coat
ed with graphite, to blacken and polish
them, and this is alleged to be objec-
tionable because the graphite fouls the
gun. Furthermore, the lead is acted
upon chemically by the animal juices
SO as to be injurious to the eater of the
flesh. This is obviated ~ the coating

HIS WITS SAVED HIM.
Tho Diver Feigned Death That He Might
Escape With His Life.

Tho Diver Feigned Death That He Might
Escape With His Life.
Some years ago. upon the coast OF
France, there occurred one of those ro-
mantle episodes that seem to belong to
the realm of fiction. A vessel had found
cred within sight Of port-gone down
with all her cargo Two divers were
sent to report upon the cause Of the dis
aster and the prospect Of raising the
goods. One Of these represented the in
surance brokers, who had instituted the
investigation, and the other the captain
and owners Of the vessel.
The brokers man touched bottom first
and found himself on bed Of white
sand. He was fortunate enough almost
Immediately to discover the wreck and
at once climbed the crags upon which
the vessel rested Investigation showed
him that there had keen foul play, for
an auger hole was plainly visible in the
hull of the ship.
He had turned to point out his discov-
cry to the other diver, who was now by
his side, when he felt himself suddenly
clutched by the waist and dragged down
upon the sand. Here his assailant muir
derously attempted to break the glass
of his helmet, but the assailed man
fought desperately for his life.
He firmly believed himself to be in
the clutch of mailman, and for few
minutes the water was thick with sand
that few up around the combatants In
the end the first diver was worsted, and
his assailant forced him to lose hold
upon his line.
Death seemed imminent, but the div
er's wits did not forsake him. Finding
that he was no match for his adversary,
he fell back and apparently swooned,
and in this condition the other man pre-
pared to leave him, cut of from COM
munication with the upper world. He
gave the signal to be drawn up, but as
he began to ascend the apparently swoon-
ing man sprang to his feet and clutched
the rising mans legs with firm grip,
and the two were hauled to the surface
together.
Then, indeed, the ready witted diver
tainted in earnest, and before he regain
ed consciousness his enemy had escaped
to land and when captured was attempt
ing to leave the country. At the trial he
explained the reason of his conduct
1t was the old story of greed leading
to unlawful deed and Of the resulting
