 The report was adopted by an almost unanimous vote, only two members speaking in opposition to it. The dele gates claimed i'll submitting their re- port that they carriei out their mission in an unbiased and nonpartisan man ner and they simply pictured the low state of the workingclass as 1t was, without reference to politics.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat re- ceives a large share of its patronage from the Democratic States of Ark ansas, Texas, Louisiana and Tenn essee. In view Of this fact, and the further fact that conservatism and sound argument is better, it is strange that that paper resorts to aspersions upon these people, also vile epithets and stinging syitupera- ton. We can not see how our peo- pie can afford to patronize such a vile sheet. Ii our people would stop taking it awhile, it might learn some sense.

Those of our citizens who have books, one or more volumes, suit able for a school library, would be doing a noble act by donating them to the Public School Library of this city. It is true, the library is as yet in an embryo state, containing only about four hundred volumes; but if every citizen who is able would do nate a volume, it would make the library one of the largest in the State.

night. when he suffered a relapse.
The end was painless. He passed
away surrounded by friends. For days
he had been lowering between life and
death. at intervals conversing with
friends regarding his work. Upon
one occasion friend at the dying
mans bedside referred to the success
of "Trilby" as book and play,
whereupon Du Maurier replied, Eyes.
it has been successful; but popularity
has killed me at last"

ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.

LONDON. Oct. 13.-Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the En-
chequer, speaking at Darlington to-
night, declared that the actual posi-
tion of the powers with regard to the
Eastern questions was that Russia,
Austria and Germany were deter
mined, with view to preserving Eu-
ropean peace, to maintain the statu
quo in Turkey. That had been Eng
lands traditional policy, he said, any
departure from which would meet
with active resistance by the powers.
At the same time absolute inaction
was more dangerous to the peace of
Europe than would be united interfer-
ence by The powers to compel Turkish
reform.
England's present policy. the Chan
cellor affirmed, was to secure a concert
OF the powers to insist upon reform.
ITe asserted. most omphatically, that
the Government did not desire to act
alone or to obtain any special advant-
age for England.

Cecil Rhodes, Earl Grey, administra-

held final indaba with the Matabele
chiefs. Mr.. Rhodes announced TO them
that, after yielding up their arms and
those of their number who have been
guilty of numbering whites, the Mata-
beles must locate themselves in spec
flied districts of the country. The
principal chiefs would be held respon-
sible and would receive monthly sal
aries from the British Chartered South
African Company. The chiefs all
agreed to this proposition and it is
believed that the whole Matabele
trouble is now at an end.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The Suns
Washington special says: The pub
lication in the Sun this morning of

that the practice ship Bancroft shall

aroused new interest in the Turkish
question. Attempts have been made

60" The significance of this state
ment, coming directly from an Off
cal of rank in the Spanish army with
in this week, certainly will be regard
ed as of no little Importance. 1t i'm
plies the admission of the election of
Mckinley, as the informant goes on to
say that only action adverse to Spain
is expected from the new administra-
ton. This view of the situation out
lines clearly the policy of the Spanish
Government, and tends to show that
it is massing troops in Cuba with the
determination of making one desper-
ate effort to crush completely the
Cuban forces.
My information also implies the ad-
mission on the part of the Spanish
Government that if it is unable to de-
feat the rebels during the coming dry
season with the great force at its com
mand in Cuba at present, with the Adj
ministration in the United States
friendly to Spain, it cannot hope to
continue the contest successfully after
McKinley's Inauguration on March 4
