GEN. WEYLER MUST GO.
The Spanish Butcher Has Been Relieved Of
His Command.

Madrid, October S.-The Cabinet has
decided upon the immediate recall of
General Weyler from Cuba A decree
Twill be issued appointing Captain Cen
eral Blanco, Marquis of Pena-Plata, Gov
ernOr Of the island.
The Queen Regent will sign the decree
tomorrow.
According to FL Heraldo, 10000 rein
forcements will accompany General
Blanco to Cuba.
In the course of the cable message
sent by Captain General Weyler to Pre-
mier Sagasta, placing his post in Cuba
at the disposal of the government, he
said:
"If the functions with which they had
entrusted me had been merely those Of
Governor General of Cuba, / should have
hastened to resign. But the tWO-fold
character of my mission and my duty as
commander in chief in face Of the en-
emy prevented my rendering resigna-
tion. Nevertheless, although can rely
upon the absolute unconditional sup
port of the autOnomist and cOnstitu
titional parties, as well as upon public
opinion, this would be insufficient with
out the confidence of the government
This confidence would be necessary to
enable me to put an end to the war,
which has already been virtually con-
Cluded from our lines at Jurace to Cape
AntOno."
Senior Sagasta replied: "I thank you
for your explanation and value your
frankness. l wish to assure you that the
government recognizes your services and
values them as they deserve, but think
change of policy, in order to succeed
requires that the authorities should be
alone with the ministry. This has moth
ing to do with the confidence felt in you
by the government, for the liberals have
always said that great responsibility for
a given policy does not fall upon those
who carry it out, but upon the govern
ment inspiring it, l shall communicate
your communication to the government
shortly"

Business Situation Not Wholly Satisfactory.
Dun's review of last weeks business
says
while failures were the smallest ever
known in any quarter since 1892, and
business payments through banks the
largest by $26S 100000 ever known in
September, the spectators who profess
anxiety about Cuba or fever at the
South, or municipal election, still have
some influence. Helping them just now
is the fact that after extraordinary pur-
chases for replenishment of stocks from
any section or town there must neces-
sariIy be for a time less buying from
that quarter. Yet business is still in
creasing The productive force steadily
enlarges, the distribution of wages af-
fords an increasing fund for purchases,
and the foundations are laid for larger
business hereafter The weeks ex-
changes are 8.8 per cent. larger than in
1892.
wool has now reached an average of
20.37 cents per pound for 100 quotations
of dOmestics by Coates Brothers, of Phil

a year ago, with much heavier rise on
some qualities, but following an average
decline of IL cents from March, 1893.

The Drought is Broken.

The rain of last Sunday was general
throughout the West and Southwest.
Very general rains have been reported
in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Ohio and Minnesota. In Kansas,
the southern half of the State Jared
the best. Wichita takes first place with
a precipitation of 2.88 inches of water.
The opposite extreme is reported at Con-
cordia, which place got .O8 Of an inch.

purchasing some wool for mixture with
the cheaper wool held for some months
past. The rise has so greatly exceeded
the advance in prices Of woOlen goods
that the mills might have to pause but
for the very large stocks purchased in
advance. Goods are strong, with fur
ther advance in some grades, but In the
aggregate thus far not 20 per cent. from
the lowest point, against 60 per cent.
advanced in the average price OF wool.
Dealings in cotton goods are delayed
by weakness in raw cotton, but neither
print cloths nor other goods have de-
clined since last week, and though the
mills are not quite fully employed, a
continued increase in consumption is
with reason expected.
Failures for the week were 212 in
the United States, against 296 last year."
Bradstreet's says:
Distribution of general merchandise
in the central West and Northwest Is
further checked owing to the prolonged
drought in Kentucky, Illinois, Kansas,
portions Of Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota and the Dakotas Telegraphic
advices to Bradstreet's report serious
damage in Kansas and parts Of Nebraska
and Iowa where early planted wheat Is
budding out; that planted later is not
likely to sprout. Fall plowing is now
impossible, six weeks without rain hav-
ing dried up pastures and compelled
farmers to feed stock.
Manufacturing Industries throughout
the West, particularly iron and steel,
continue active and there is an increas-
ing tendency on the part Of the interior
merchants to remit promptly. While
the volume of trade has decreased at
Chicago. it is ahead of the like record in
recent years. There is moderate i'm
prOyement in business in the South, AL
ALBANIA having raised the quarantine
against Georgia cities and central and
northern Texas points having resumed
commercial relations with Galveston.
Planters continue to hold cotton, which
delays collections. Higher prices this
week are reported for cotton (which has
been declining for some time), coal and
clothing in sympathy with wool, for
naval stores, under heavy purchases by
ldAS6 JIdueISJ WucdJ, uOuT duu GSSS
Print cloths, lard, beef and sugar have
declined. Hides are weaker. Lead is
lower and Bessemer steel sold off so
cents ton under heavy speculative Of
ferings, Notwithstanding the iron and
steel markets as whole remain active
and firm.
Exports Of wheat flour included as
wheat) from both coasts of the United
States and Canada this week show a
heavy falling off, aggregating only
4,SS5,641 bushels, against 5,834,0OO bush
els last week, but compared with 4,050,-
600 bushels in the week year ago,
2,224,0 bushels in 1895, 3,317, 900 bush
els in 1894 and 2,S62,00O bushels in 1893
Corn exports also show heavy drop,
aggregating only 100000 bushels,
against 3,108,O0 bushels last year, 2,772,-
900 bushels in the week a year ago.

MAIL CARRIED In TUBES.
Successful Experiment With Pneumatic
Tubes in the POstOfiCe.

New York, October 8.--A live cat and
eleven eggs made the trip in one Of the
pneumatic carriers sent between the
postoffice and the Produce Exchange
this afternoon. The cat was alive and
unharmed at the end of this strange
journey and the eggs unbroken. This
furnished an illustration Of the FEAST
bility of human travel In pneumatic cars
There were fourteen carriers sent to
the Produce Exchange and back again
to the postoffiCe. In one Of these was
complete suit Of clothes, suit Of under
wear and a pound Of tea.
A toy elephant, on which was an in
scription, &c. o. P.," was sent down and
back, and this will he presented to Mr..
Thomas G. Platt.
Tanmany's tiger emblem In minia-
ture will be presented to Judge Van
Wyck.
A Bible, in which the passage, my
days are swifter than a post" Job tx,
25), was specially marked, together with
a copy Of President McKinley's inaug-
ural address, the whole wrapped In the
stars and stripes, was rushed through
the pneumatic tube to-day from the post
Office to the sub-station in the Produce
Exchange.
Thus was inaugurated a system by
which mail matter can be distributed
many more times swiftly than 1t has
been.
For months the postofice officials have
been preparing for this event. Many in
vitatiOns to prominent men were is
sued, and in but few cases did any one
invited to attend the ceremonies decline
to be present.
Postmaster General Gary manipulated
the lever, and started the first carrier on
its trip down town. Near him stood
Chauncey M. Depew and former Post
master General Tyner, the latter being
the man who first recommended intro
ducing the pneumatic tubes into the
postal system. He was appointed Post
master General by President Grant.
That part of the postoffice in which
the receivers and transmitters are sit
uated was decorated in quite a gorgeous
manner. Huge flags were artistically
draped about the walls and festOoned
from the ceiling. Red, white and blue
bunting was also used to good adVan-
tage.
OF course, the carriers had been seen
to, so that no time was lost in placing
them, and one minute and half after
Mr.. Gary had pulled the lever the men
in waiting at the sub-station in the Pro-
duce Exchange received the carrier and
it's contents.
The transmitting apparatus consists
of a short section of tube just big enough
to contain the carrier, and so mounted
on trunnions in a circular case that it
will swing from vertical position TO a
diagonal one whenever a crank outside
the case is turned. The edge Of the
case is pierced at one point 80 that when
the movable section has been tilted over
it is possible to drop carrier into the
latter though hole. The crank Is then
employed to bring the section back to a
vertical position. 1t is now In alignment
with the rest of the line, and the carrier
instantly drops into the main tube, and
is caught by the blast coming in from
a branch on one side. The tTansmitter
at the sub-station 10 arranged somewhat
differently, but 1t works on the same
principle.
The carriers are made Of sheet steel

The New York OitY Election.

New York, October 9.-The Journals

preferences for Mayor includes 12S,7
ballots. Henry George, Jefferson Demo-
crat, has 40,123; Van Wyck, Tammany,
SG759; Seth Low, Citizens Union, a.
596; General Tracy, Republican, 1922
The Worlds poll includes 100, ,494 bal

O69; Seth Low, 24,526; Henry George,
21,11S; General Tracy, 1929; Patrick
Gleason, Ind, 5,492.
OF the twenty Democratic National
committeeman who have expressed them
selves on the New York municipalcam-
paign, thirteen hold that Henry George
Ia the regular Democratic" candidate
for Mayor and seven favor Tammany.
A dispatch to the World from Wash
ington says: Senator James X Jones,
Chairman of the Democratic National
committee, says that he will take no
part In the municipal contest in Greater
New York."
Senator Jones disclaims any RESPONSE
bility for the action OF Secretary Walsh
in indorsing the candidacy OF Henry
George, merely remarking that as an
individual Walsh had perfect right to
take whatever action he considered
proper.
When asked as to what course he
would pursue in regard to the situation
in New York, Senator Jones said:
Il do not think 1t within my duty to
assume any authority in this matter for
the National committee. AS the Chair
man Of the National committee, do not
propose to be drawn into 1t, for have
no authority to speak for the committee
and it would be impossible to act as an
individual and divorce my own person
ality from my position as Chairman.
There Is no occasion for me to indOrse
or dlsapproVe the nomination of either
Judge Van WyCk or Henry George"
In regard to the letter said to have
been written by Senator Jones to Sena+
tor Murphy, in which he is quoted as
advising q reatflrmation of the Chicago
platform by the New York State conven-
ton, the Chairman said the communi-
cation sounded like something he had
either written or said to some one in
New York; but he said If written It was
not his intention Of having II used as
1t was In the New York meeting.
Chairman Jones said he took the gem
eral ground that "the Chicago platform
was binding upon every Democrat" and
that nothing any State or municipal
convention might do could add or take
away from that platform; 1t could
neither be strengthened nor weakened.
Il believe" said the Senator, "as
firmly in bimetallism and the Chicago
platform as l did the day that platform
was adopted, and the battle of 1900 is
to be fought on the same lines"

When the evidence was all In the Justice

view the situation from the standpoint
of partisan success. while the Citizens
union makes good government the par
amount consideration. 1t is undeniable
that the result of the election will have
an important influence upon the future
of the great city, and as Platt is more
concerned about party success than the
public welfare, he is giving more thought
and work to- local politics than to his
senatorial duties. Tammany has the
better organization, and Platt can COM
mand the most money.
To break the force Of Platt's charge
that the success of Tammany means
silverism, the Democrats of New York
have resolved to say nothing in their
platform on the money question. They
are more likely to be harmonious than
the Republicans can be under Pfatt rule.
which has been more inexorab BILE, if pos
sible. than anything under the reign
of Tammany. The country will watch
the progress of the contest with deep
enfng interest as time proceeds. The
results in Ohio and New York city will
have bearing upon the election of
members of congress next year.

A NEW DEPARTURE

Here is a casus bell. An American
heirese worth $50 900, ,OOo is wooed and
won by one of her own countrymen.
Hence there is gloom in Rome, depres-
sion in Paris, stolid surliness in London
and deep despair in Berlin. There are
gloomy "luds" and wild-eyed counts
brea thing war and invective all the way
from Toulouse to Konigsberg and from
Copenhagen to the Orkneys. Miss Isa-
who has caused all this misery. She
could have had any of the titles enum-
Grated, with a lisping, degenerate
thrown in, but she chose Lars Anderson
of Washington, an American scholar of
good family connected with our diplo-
matte service. While Mr.. Anderson is
receiving congratulations at home
there are a few hundred "bloods" stand
ing around in the market places Of
Europe, with their pedigrees inscribed
upon their apparel, watching and wait
ing for the gentle American relic hun
ter. And now, just as an eligible pur-
chaser is seen in the distance and the
human chattels begin to pose for bid
an upstart with nothing but manhood
and character and education and health
and good looks, supplemented by an hon
orable record, brushes them all aside
Miss Perkins is to be congratulated upon
her choice; and in later years when
Young America can still look abroad
and happily contrast it's opportunities
and its freedom with the constraint and
vassalage of monarchical Europe, surely
her posterity will appreciate the mother
who could not be moved by the popular
vanity to imperil their inheritance So
it happens that gambling debts and
other sporting debts and living expenses
and tailors and doctors bills will have to
remain unpaid upon the other femis-
phere to the extent of s5O,OOOOOO. Dip
