The general has accomplished too little as
a soldier TO please the authorities and press
Of Madrid. Jt Is true that some words of
praise have fallen to Wcyler, but these
have not been numerous or hearty The
intimatiOn made that Weyler Is TO be call

is being said in Madrid as upon report
made 10 the state department by Minister
Taylor Mr. Taylor has shown a good deal
of zeal of late in keeping Secretary Olney
advised as TO what is going on at the Span
ish capital Minister de Lome's activity
in keeping his government informed about
what happens at Washington is probably
no greater than that displayed by the
American minister in reporting happen
ings at Madrid. Generally that which Mr.
Taylor communicates TO Secretary Olney
is held In such strict confidence that little
intelligence he conveys reaches the public
Information has, however sifted through
Official sources that Mr.. Taylor has in
formed the secretary of state that General
Weyler is likely to be relieved Of his COM
mand at an early date, and that his sue

ALBANY, Jan. 4.-The legislature Of the
state of New York convenes at noon on
Wednesday. Comparatively few of the
members of either house have yet arrived
here Tho absence Of the Legislators, espc-
cially the country members, is due in some
measure to the change made by the new
constitution, In having the first session up
on Wednesday instead Of Tuesday, as had
been the custom for a decade.
There is really no need of the Legislators
making their appearance much before to-
morrow afternoon, the day Of the evening
upon which the caucuses are TO be held,
for the states have all been prepared and
there has not as yet been heard a whisper
against them except so far as concerns the
United States senatorship a matter that
will be decided in the caucusos Of tomor-
row night James NJ. E. O'Grady of Mon
roe win be selected as speaker Of the as
sembly and Daniel Finn of New York will
get the complimentary nomination from
the Democrats and will by virtue of that
be the leader Of that party upon the floor
On the senate side the proposed turn down
Of the present leader of the Republicans,
senator Ellsworth. by combination said
to be in favor Of Senator Strannhan for
that position, has flzzlcd out, and the lca,.-
srs of it have settled the matter by notify
ing tho senator that all important mear-
ures and action theroupon must be di
cussed in the caucus. They have also nod
6ed Senator Raines that thoy will caucus
upon all excise amendments and rot ID
led upon the floor as they were last year
The lieutenant governor has decided not
to enforce his prerogative Of appointinr
new committees, and the only changes wiz
be the placing Of Senator Coggoshall upon
some better committees than he was las
year, when he posed as an independent, and
the location of Senator Grant upon the
committees formerly held by the deceased

Spain Getting Impatient.

LONDON, Jan. 4-The correspondent at
Madrid of The Times telegraphs to his pa
per: "Ihe country is becoming impatient
at the unaccountable inactivity Of the ox-
ecutive in Cuba, which is inexplicable,
considering the favoring circumstance
the opportune death of Maceo, the COM
plete breakdown of the attempt of the
American filibusters, aided by certain adj
venturous and sympathizing senators to
induce the United States government TO
adopt an active policy, and the consequent
reaction of public opinion throughout Eu-
rope in favor of Spain. All of this points
to one of two crying evils Either the
home goyernment is deplorably lacking in
initiative or the military chiefs in Cuba
are incapable and unworthy of confidence.
Perhaps there is little OF both. Anyway,
public opinion is unanimous regarding
tho latter. Private advices reveal that a
state Of maladministration is prevailing in
the island of most scandalous character.
Even the government organs do not alto
gether deny this and say nothing of the
Liberal papers, which are being prosecuted
for demanding reforms in the administra-
ton in Cuba. This prosecution is an omi-
nous sign and n dangerous action on the
part of the government while public feel
ing is as It is Possibly Senor Canovas'
decision as TO the reforms in Puerto Rico
is tacit recognition that he cannot Longer
run counter to public opinion"

Case of ContumaoIous Witnesses.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4--Broker Elverton
r. Chapman, one of the alleged contu-
macious witnesses before the senate Sug-
ar trust investigating committee Of the
last congress, and his attorney, ex-senator
George f. Edmunds, are In the city. Their
preserice hero is due TO the expectation
that the mandate Of the supreme court Of
the United States denying the writ of er-
ror in Cfnpmans case viii be handed
down to the district court today. In that
event Mr.. Chapman viii surrender him
self to the marshal Of the district, and his
attorney will apply to the supreme court
or one Of its justices for a writ of hahcas
corpus, by which the constitutionality o,
the law under which Mr.. Chapman was
sentenced TO imprisonment for refusing to
answer questions may be tested. Their
hope is that the writ may be granted, and
pending a decision of the question Mr..
Chapman will seek release on bail.

the United States, the senator must be

Democrats who are members Of the state

ocrats who are members of the assembly.
Upon joint ballot therefore, the Republic
an vote Is l5l. and the Democratic vote
only 80. The Republican majority, there
fore, is the extraordinary number of l02
Not even man Of feeble wits could doubt
that the Republican party will elect the
senator
"Only two Republicans have thus far
been considered by the Republican mem
bors of tho legislature for senator, and
they are Joseph II. Choate and Thomas G.
Platt II was clear also from what the
senators and assemblymen said who were
here Attending Governor Black s inaugu-
ration ceremonies that Mr. Platt at pres
ent has the larger number Of supporters
and will be elected senator unless he de-
clines the office. The canvass which the

suspect that just before the caucus of the
Republican members of the legislature Is
held on Jan IL he will declare that he
does not desire the Office and will use his
influence to confer it upon some one else
Eminent Republican politicians say thaI
they believe Mr. platt intends TO 30 I,

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 3O.-The big
coal operators who control the lake
business are about to face another
force in addition to the strikers. The
small operators, who are in the majors
ty in the Pittsburgh district, have at
last broken out in open revolt against
the dictation Of the big thirteen" as
the lake shippers are called. They
openly defy their former masters. and
declare they will open theirgmines at
once, conceding the price demanded by
the strikers. If the plans formulated
by the small operators are. carried out
it is more than probable that their
mines will be in operation by the lat
ter part of this week, and theprice paid
to the miners will be 60 cents per ton.
They have been willing to pay the de-
mands of the miners ever since the
strike was inaugurated. Owing to the
fact, however. that they sold their coal
to the big thirteen" or companies
composing the lake-shipping syndicate,
President Dolan refused to give his con-
sent to. allow their miners to work.
These smaller operators now have plans
which they will present to the presi-
Edent ofsthe United Mine Workers, andi
lis. thou ght he will approve Of them, and
the strikers will gain a temporary VIC
tory #H @ Ell II ~ n S ~
u.s. The ~.bfg thirteen" are the { owners ne :
of the different mines where the most
bitter fight against the demands of the
miners is being made, and they prac-
tically control the coal trade in@this
part of the country. The smallsopera-
tors had to sell their coal to them for
whatever price was offered, and. the
rate paid hardly allowed: them enough
to pay expenses: Last year the price
Offered to the Independent operators
was so low that several of them closed
their mines entirely They have been
wanting to throw OF the yoke ofsde.s
pendence on the .'bigsthirteen," and
think they now havea plan by which Il
can be done. . &
