capture he served for time on the staff
Of Major General Hancock, and subse-
quentlY on the staff of General Samuel S.
Carroll He was with the famous Twenty
third In all its battles, and was mustered
out with IL on July 90, 1865. He had a
liking for the military profession, and IL
was said that but for the advice of his fa-
ther he would at the solicitation Of GEN
eral Carroll have attached himself to the
regular army.
At the close OF the war Mckinley re.
turned 20 Ohio, studied law, opened an
Office in Canton, Stark county, in 1867,
and in 1859 was elected prosecuting at
torney of Stark county.
He was elected to congress in 1876, and
served. continuously in the house OF repre-.
sentatives until March, 1S91-14 years In
all--exoept part of his fourth term, when
he was unseated late in the first session
His seat was given to the late Hon. Jonn-
than Wallace of East Liverpool, his Dem
ocratio competitor. In 1878 he was placed
In district consisting Of Stark, Wayne,
Ashland and Portage counties, which was
Democratic by l, 500, but Mckinley carried
1t by 1900 majority. In 1884 he was
placed In a district consisting Of Stark.
Summit, Medina and Wayne counties,
then strongly Democratic, and was elected
by over 1000 majority. Under the Prios
gerrymander of 1890 his district was made
up of Stark, Medina, Wayne and Holmes

Major Mckinley reduced this majority to
303. He received 1900 more votes in the
district than had been cast for General
Harrison for president in 1883.

MADRID, June 23.-The profoundest
sensation has been caused here by the
news of the alleged purport of a report by
United States Consul General Lee to Pres
ident Cleveland on the state Of affairs in
Cuba, which report is said to be on the
way from Havana to Washington.
The effect of the intelligence is difficult
to exaggerate.
All classes of the community are greatly
wrought up, but the oommotion Is espe-
oially great in parliamentary and political
circles
The Hobbies Of the sennte were extremes
ly animated just before Senator Comas be-
gan an energetic anti American speech on
moving an amendment TO the address in
reply to the speech from the throne asking
the government to annul all treaties be-
tween Spain and the United States.
The impression Is general among poll
ticians and military men that the govern
ment will be requested to withdraw Con
sui General Lees exequatur II he really
has expressed opinions as unfavorable to
Spanish rule in Cuba as rumor credits
him with having done.
The minister of the colonies introduced
in the cortes bill authorizing the gov
ernment to expend in the war in Cuba as
much of the colonial and imperial reve-
nues as may be necessary to secure success
and also authorizing 1t to negotiate un-
limited loans or credit
The Madrid press continues to lay much
stress upon the closer relations likely to
be established between Spain, France and
Russia when occasion arises. The mark
edly friendly welcome given to the French
feet in the ports of north Spain is hailed
by Spaniards as happy omen.

It's face value because it was unoontradiot-
ed, but were TO consider her intelligence,
her ability to observe and In spite Of her
few years whether or not for any reason
she would be prejudiced.
The Matter of Motive.
Touching briefly on the case Of the prose-
cution, the recorder said apropos TO the
question of motive, it was immaterial
whether or not Mrs. Bliss was a legal bar
to Mrs. Fleming's enjoying her estate. Il
was only necessary for them, in order TO
establish the fact Of motive. 20 asoertaih
whether or not the defendant Thought
her mother stood in her way. 1t was Lot
even necessary to establish a motive. II
they found that the defendant procured
the poison, put it In the ohowder and sent
It TO her mother, these facts were sufficient
to establish a case Of murder in the first
degree. The establishing of motive could
only strengthen the contention Of the pros
eoution.
While disclaiming any desire TO go into
the question of the various chemical analy-
ses Of the states experts, the recorder ney-
ertheless reoapitulated the results and 10
minded the jury that they had revealed the
presence Of about 80 grains of arsenic and
AZ grains of antimony In the stomach and
contents OF the stomach Of Mrs. Bliss.
After his reading the recorder reminded
the jury that a reasonable doubt was not
a mere suspicion, an imaginary doubt, but
q substantial reason based on a lack Of
evidence. Absolute certainty was not pos
sible often, he said, but II the evidence
satisfied their Judgment beyond any suoh
imaginary doubt, they were in duty bound
to find against the defendant.

$50 far as was able TO Judge there
is only one sentiment in Spain regard
ing the troubles in Cuba and IL Is that
the rebellion must be crushed il every
drop Of Spanish blood is spent in the
effort. CASTELAR,, as well as all Other
Spanish leaders, still adheres to the be.
lief, OF processes TO, that the Cubans
now in insurrection are simply bandits.
They all refuse to recognize q state Of
war in Cuba"
This one Spanish sentiment regarding
the troubles in Cuba has doomed over
the seas at the many times In which
Spain has had troubles in her othea
American possessions. All the countries
of Spanish America that are now inde-
pendent Of Spain were told that they
would be crushed If it should take every
drop of Spanish blood to crush them.
In a number Of cases the boast was the
loudest just when Spain was turning
from the sentiment which held the last
drop TO the more discreet thought that
It was time to shedaddle Fourteen re
publics ON this side Of the Atlantic have
heard Spain's boast within our century,
and have come to know it's emptiness.
Spain has blood in her yet, and some of
1t will be left after Cuba has driven her
out
We desire not trouble, but peace,
with Spain. We cannot, however, per
init her to exterminate the people Of
Cuba. Whatever be her pride, her sensi
tiveness or her bluster, the American
people will surely yet give her to un.
derstand that she must get out of Cuba
