THOSE who started that story about
President Mckinley intending to stop
the sale of the Union Pacific Railroad
overlooked the fact that the sale was
ordered by decree of the United
State Circuit Court. The only thing
that could have stopped the sale would
have been an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, and that the
Government decided sometime ago not
to take.
THE silver trust is preparing to at
tack the railroads. 1t has recently &C.
Cured to the members of the trust that
the cause of the fall in the price of sill
yer is due largely to the cheapness in
transportation of silver ore. A ton of
this ore contains five or six dollars
worth of silver and it is apparent that
transportation cuts an important figure
in the price of the white metal. 1t is
therefore evident that the rapid open
ing up of railroad lines has had much
to do with the fall in price of the
s'money of the constitution"

Cubans Assert That Spanish Resources

the Government Insist That Little Re
mains OF the Insure ction.
{ Washington, April 17.-Spain will be-
gin to withdraw from Cuba at least
part of the great army she has main
tanned there. according 10 trustworthy
information, when the rainy season sets
in, few days from now.
The Initial movement win be the de-
parture Of 10000 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain, and a short time
after that $4,000 troops, 1t Is understood,
Will follow.
Whether this movement is to be con-
strued In favor of or against the insur-
gents is in disp1te.
The Spanish insist that it only means
that little OF nothing remains of the in
surrection; that Gomez has only about
so or 100 followers, and that to watch
these under the conditions in which the
campaign necessarily has been conS
Quoted few thousand men are quite
as effective as the army or 10000 men
which has been maintained IN Cuba.
The Cubans. on the other hand. insist
that SPANS financial resources are eX-
hausted and that the troops are to be
Withdrawn because Of lack of money to
keep them in the service.
Another theory is that the time of
the men to be withdrawn has expired.
In Spain the regular military service is
two years, but in war that time can
be indefinitely extended at the option
of the government.
The 10000 men to be withdrawn first
have served the two years required and
the time OF the 10000 additional soldiers
who will be returned home expires ere
long.
Service in Cuba has not been popular
with Spanish fathers and mothers. The
sight of 10000 young men landed OF
the shores Of Spain will have, it is be
lieved. a good effect.
General Weyler reported to his gov
ernment that he has removed a largl
part of the army from the three west
ern provinces. Pinar del Rio Havan;
and Matanzas. and that he can spare
number of soldiers whose time of serv
ice has expired.
At all events, the rainy season vii
prevent military movements of conse
quence.

ADVICE ON
GAS MATTE RS.

If your light is poor there is
something locally wrong, as your
gas is the same as is supplied to any
other customer.
If your burners spread the light
like the fingers of a hand, they
should be cleaned out or replaced;
cleaners furnished without charge.
If you have old-fashioned shades
with small openings at the bottom
you should change them az once to
get best results from your gas.
If yoor Walsbach lights are not
as good as they we're formerly, they
probably need new mantles or other
attention.
If your stoves do not give out
heat as formerly, the openings may
want cleaning out.
Architects should plan for lib
eral-sized gas pipes in all houses,
even if other illumination is contem-
plated.
Large gas pipes should be put in
all houses, because gas is used in
more rooms than was formerly the
custom, and because heating and
cooking stoves are largely used now
and are mostly placed at the far
thest distance from the meter and
need a full flow Of gas.
Builders and owners Of new
houses should see that gas pipes are
put in every house, because pur-
chasers or renters will expect to
have the advantage of competition
in illumination, even if they do not
want to use gas at present.
Houses will sell better or rent
better if they have gas pipes il
them.
Gas consumers should watch theii
own meters so as to be satisfied with
their bills; meters are so simple tina
any intelligent person can read then
and thus know the cost Of their ga
as time passes.
Housekeepers should admit no on
! to their houses ON the pretense o
being sent from the Gas Office un
! less the applicant is PERSONAL
known or can show the silver badg
: and the lettered cap of company.
All houses should have an outsid
! light burning all night to illuminat
/ their side and back buildings, an
g should also keep some lights burn
! ing all night in rooms and halls t
keep off burglars it is far better t
! use a few thousand extra feet Of ga
D each year than to have the hous
robbed once.
