at the close Of his term became claim
agent in Washington, where he still
resides, entirely forgotten except by
the people of his own state. Secretary
Of War Endicott is forgotten, except by
his Massachusetts, friends. William
C. Whitney, secretary of the navy, is
man of millions, and hence has kept
himself before the people. Senator
Lamar, of Mississippi, secretary of the
interior, was made an associate justice
of the supreme court, and died while
in that position. Postmaster General
Villas became secretary of the interior
to succeed Lamar, and Don NJ. Dickin-
son, of Michigan, became postmaster
general. Dickinson has kept in public
life, or in the public mind, by reason
of his attachment to Cleveland and his
fortunes. Villas secured an election to
the senate, and hence has not fallen
away from public view. But, as mat
ter of fact, the second election of Cleve-
land had much to do with keeping some
of his cabinet ministers before the
public.
Who can name the members of the
cabinet who were appointed by Pres
ident Harrison, in 1889? Think of it,
only seven years since they were ap,
pointed, and only three years since they
went out of office; and how many of the

inet. Can you guess the names of the
others? And yet, it is only IS years
since both of those cabinets were
formed. You will probably recall the
fact that Robert Il. Lincoln, son of
Abraham Lincoln, was appointed secre-
tary of war by President Garfield, and
was retained in Arthur's cabinet. He
was minister to Great Britain during
Harrison's administration.
But, as test of the truth of the fact
that our leading men are soon forgot
ten, how many can to-day give the
names of the members of Cleveland's is
cabinet, during his first administra-
ton? 1t was on or about March 6, 1855,
that the first Cleveland cabinet was ap'
pointed. Can you name the great men
who stepped to the helm and aided
Cleveland in guiding the ship of state
They were all men of superior ability
Can it be possible that they have been
forgotten in so short space of time?
' Thomas Il. Bayard was secretary Of
state. He went into private life ant
would have remained there, but for the
second election of Cleveland, when III
was sent to succeed Lincoln as minis

FOREST FIRES.

Much valuable Timber Destroyed IN tho
Sierra Madre Mountains.
PASADENA, Cal, Oct. 1.-Two de-
structive forest fires are devastating
the western range of the Sierra Madre
mountains on each side of Tejunga.
A strip of valuable timber 25 miles
long and from one to three miles wide
has been laid waste, and the fires are
still sweeping northwest and threaten
ing the destruction of vast area of
forest. The district is thinly popu-
lated and the settlers have had ample
warming. The damage to ranch prop
erty has been trifling thus far and it is
hoped that the fires will be subdued
before they reach the more thickly set
tied sections of Los Angeles county, to
the northward.

Chinamen Assasstnated
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. THE High
binder "Tongs," of Chinatown, are
again in emeuete, and as result Lee
All Nee and All Chung, two members
of the Bo-OnTong, were assassinated
Monday night. All Nee was shot down
in the hallway of a Chinese lodging
house shortly before midnight, and
while the police were looking for the
murderer All Chung met his death on
Pacific street, supposedly at the hands
of Lee Loui, who was captured in the
vicinity while in the act of concealing
freshly discharged revolver.
How Fook and How Tom, both men,
bers of the Bo-Long-Tong society, have
been arrested on suspicion of being inn
plicated in the murder of Ah Nee. A
, prominent Chinaman who called at the
receiving hospital to see Ah Chung, re-
marked when informed that his friend
was dead: Lots more be killed to-
morrow, big fight now." 1t is believed
that the efforts now making to reunite
the Six Companies will result in many
sanguinary feuds between the various
societies, who having once enjoyed
commercial freedom, will never return
to their former state of bondage.

Make Gains.
Hartford, Conn, Oct. Clown cleo
tions were held in all the 1GS towns in
the state. with the exception of Hart
ford, New Haven. Bridgeport, Ansonia,
Derby and Naugatuck. Returns show
that the republicans have made large
gains over n year ago, having nearly
doubled their number OF towns from
1893. In Hartford county in 1898 the
towns stood: Republican, II; demo-
cratic, IA; divided. Z. Returns show
that the republicans have gained three
towns and the democrats have lost
one, five being divided. MiddleseX
county complete shows 12 republican
towns against eight last year. In two
towns national democratic" tickets
were voted for. 1T is probable that the
complete returns will show that the
republicans have gained at least 15
| towns.

strongly opposed to the present recogni-
ton of the belligerency of the Cuban in
surgents, and to any declaration concern
ing their independence as embodied in
the recent congressional resolutions.
The following is hot an official statement,
but it is known from careful inquiry
that it accurately represents the admin
istration's views of the matter.
While the president and members of
the cabinet personally feel the sympathy,
common to all Americans, with the Gu
bans who are contending for self govern
ment, they feel that in their official ac-
ton they should not depart from the
well-settled principles which were fol-
lowed by former presidents and secretar-
les of state during prior instructions in
Cuba.
These were clearly set forth by Gener-
al Grant in his message of 1875, in which
he dealt with the question of the recog-
milton of Cuban independence. and also
with that of the recognition of belliger-

THE SPANISH PREMIER.
He Expresses His Opinion In an In

nc G4PrtSS0S lis OP10IOn In an III
terview.
NEW YORK, March 3.-A special to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Premier Canovas last night made the
following statement: ''I cannot under
stand how some people in the United
States have got it into their minds. that
we,or rather General Weyler, is carrying
on war in Cuba on inhuman lines. 1t
is all false, nothing more than a tissue
of falsehood. venture to state that up
to the present no American consul has
been able to notify his government of a
single instance of cruelty on Weyler's
part, for the simple reason that no such
thing occurs.
''As a matter of fact, have given the
most stringent orders that Weyler is to
be most human. No inhumanities or
cruelties have been perpetrated at all.
The latter are all the imagination of
friends of Cuba in the United States.
Look at General Weyler's proclamation.
1t is nothing more than what obtains
between civilize nations when at war
with one another, as for instance, in the
Franco-German war. As a matter of
fact, the Germans shot spies because the
latter did not carry on the war as recog-
nized on acknowledged lines: that is, by
fighting face to face with the enemy.
AS is natural, we do the same with spies
in Cuba, simply because the latter do
not fight according to the maxims of war
as it is recognized by civilized nations.
Is there any cruelties in this? II is, I
admit, inhuman, but then, all warfare
is in human.
''Then, again, read of the sympathy
expressed by United States senator's for
poor Cuban insurgents. How ridiculous
And how about the poor white inhabit-
ants of Cuba, Spanish subjects, whose
whole interests are bound up in the ISL
and? Is there no sympathy for them?
Surely the latter deserve it more than
the former.
81 consider Spain has been grossly
illuminated, and 1 venture to think that
the self-respecting, nonjingo portion of
the United States electorate are of the
same opinion.
"You see yourself what stringent
measures 1 have adopted to protect the
persons of representatives of friendly
powers in Madrid, and, indeed, through
out Spain. 1 will not allow any disturb
ance of public peace, because 1 feel con-
WINGED that,in spite of what has occurred,
the practical portion of the community
of the United States will recognize the
impossibility of recognizing the Cuban
insurgents as belligerents. The indig-
nation throughout Spain is immense,
but 1 shall keep it in bounds. Today
the cival guard in Barcelona charged a
crowd of students. The civil guard did
well, because gave orders that there
was to be no disturbance of the public

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 2.-The re-
publican county convention last night
adopted resolutions indorsing Shelby NJ.
Cullom, for president of the United
States. Hon. David NJ. Littler, who
presided at the convention, announced
that he was authorized to say that Gull
lom was candidate for president. The
20 delegates were instructed for Cullom
for president. Mckinley received but
two votes out of 155 in the convention,
but when Horace Clark. of Mattoon, can
didate for governor, addressed the con-
vention, the name of Mckinley WAS re-
ceived with cheering as well as that of
Cullom.
A sensation was created by the speech
of Joseph A. Drake, young colored
lawyer, who was defeated for represen-
tative. He declared that the negro must
receive recognition from republicans; /;
that they were aroused from Cairo to
Chicago, and that if they were not ac-
corded proper recognition, they would
be heard from in November. Other ma
tionalities had obtained recognition from
the republicans: and the negroes, who
WELD an enormous vote in the republi-
can party, must also be recognized.
