the Ferris wheel, died today at Mercy

tered the Rensselaer, Polytechnic in
stitute, New York, and graduated with

lied the firm Of g. w. G. Ferris & Co.
In 1893 Ferris conceived the wheel
which made him famous and which was
one of the particular features of the
Worlds fair at Chicago. The wheel

tion of it. Its capacity was LAO pas
sengers, and thousands made the revo-
luton in it. The wheel made a for
tune for Ferris and gave him fame as
an engineering genius all over the

was erected in one Of the Chicago parks

GENERAL WEYLER
IS INTERVIEWED
PrefectIy Satisfied With the Results Of
Cujan War.
EXPECTS TO END IT IN A FEW DAYS
Claims to Have Had the Enemy on
tho Run in the Pinar Del RiO..H He
Locates MaccO Near ChristOfal.
Spanish Cruelty.

Havana. Nov. 22.-After a somewhat
lengthy silence Captain General Wey-
Ter has at last been heard from, and in
an interview he expressed himself as
being confident of soon putting an end
to the insurrectiOn. General Weyler
was interviewed in the Jaca camp,
which is located near the town of San
Cristobal, Province of Pinar Del Rio.
He said, after declaring that he was
satisfied with the operations that have
been carried on up to the present time,
that he believed the insurgents did not
have in the hills supplies sufficient to
last them for more than three engage
ments. After these engagements had
occurred it would be easier to estimate
the resources of the rebels, but he be-
lieved it would then be found that the
ammunition of the insurgents was eX-
hausted. He added that he had still
fifteen or twenty days work to perform
at the camp to complete his prepara-
tions for an advance on the rebels. but
that he would wait until after Christ
mas before he moved his troops for
ward. Then he would strike a mortal
blow at the insurrection. When ques-
toned concerning the position of Ma
Geo. the rebel leader. General Weyler
answered.: THE last news l received
about him located him south of the
WSStciu NoIl WHICH Ddu STISlO-
bal is located) He is unwilling to meet
out advances, even when his forces are
in good positions. We will see'
This indicates that so far the results
of the campaign Of General Weyler
are still indefinite.
Some distance to the west of San
Cristobal are mountain passes. where
a comparatively few rebels would be
able to hold their own against any force
that Spain could send against them,
and it>is thought that General Weyler
will not meet the elusive Maceo until
he comes upon him Unexpectedly in
some of these mountain Businesses.

had a day of absolute rest. He took
Mrs. Mckinley out for drive shortly
after breakfast this morning returning
In time to reach his church before the

Kinley went to church alone.
Major Mckinley has been hearing a
great deal from visiting congressman
in the last week about the tariff and
an extra session of congress. He has
talked with good many congressman
about the Dingley bill, and has a good
many letters on the subject. Many Of
the callers think 1t will not be an easy
matter to pass the Dingley bill and
that i. would he better and wiser to
have an extra session of congress for
the purpose Of drafting a new tariff
law.
A good many congressman will be
here within the next ten days and there
will be a great deal more discussion on
this subject in Canton. Major McKin-

Other at Lynn, Mass.

Lynn, Mass, Nov. ga meeting of
the Benchagist Armenian revoluntion-
ary society this evening broke up in
a lively fight Chairs were thrown and
knives We're drawn, but no one received
any very serious injuries. There are
two branches of the society in Lynn
and the meeting was called to consider
the advisability of combining. Some 25O
Armenians were present, including a
travelling organizer who had just re-
turned from London, where he had been
in consultation with the European
heads of the revolutionary movement.
Several of the speakers who adj
dressed the meeting in favor of ANAL
gamatiOn were interrupted. One be-
came angry and asserted that those
responsible for the Interruptions were
not members and should not be al
lowed in the meeting. This was the
signal for hostilities. Men in the gal
lery picked up the seats in which they
sat and hurled them at their coun-
trymen Oh the floor below, who were
not slow to respond in kind. The row
was becoming general as the malcOn-
tents in the gallery had allies in the
body of the hall. when half dozen
of the police arrived. They cleared the
hall with difficulty.

LEADVILLE DIFFICULTY.
A sympathetic Strike is Threatened
in the Mining Camps.

Leadville, Col. Nov. 22.-The report
of probable sympathetic strike of
miners in other camps in aid of the
Leadville strikers is declared to be un-
founded. Union officers declare no such
move is contemplated at present by the
western federation Of miners or any
of its branches. About 100 recruits
from Denver have just been added to
the National Guard Of Colorado, which
is still engaged in guarding the mines
in which non-union miners are en-
ployed.
According to the present muster roll
the Guard consists OF 735 uniformed SOL
diers, including officers, and about 800
emergency men who are not uniformed.
This assembly is kept at an expense to
the state of about $1,000 per day.

There is no doubt that Sir Edgar

what I have written on the subject for
the American Israelite. AS Jews had
been taught to pray several thousand
years before Jesus was born, they do
not believe that any mediator is neces-
sary or possible between God and man.
The Jews are not included in the invi-
tation of the president, and they will
have to return thanks of their own ac-
cord this time. President Cleveland
has until now shown himself exception
ally broad minded. and it is with
