sidered in the cause which brings them

The subject which brings a represen-
tative element Of New England here Is
the tariff discussions, which began on
Monday and are to continue during two
solid weeks in a manner In which the
public can take part in the discussions.
The ways and means committee OF the
house is giving hearings" on the tariff
bill, or rather on the proposed tariH
bill which Is to be presented to the next
congress. As everybody knows, the
next congress is to he called together as
soon as President Mckinley gets into
office for the purpose of deVising ways
for increasing the revenues Of the gov

vlsng and increasing the tariff on such

he would modify the rigor Of his re-
pressive policy in Cuba and that she
had repeatedly called the attention Of
ministers to administrative scandals
and abuses. Moreover, her majesty
said she
Waited Patiently for Two Months
after the death Of Senior Canovas in the
hope that the new government would
correct these evils. On its failure to do
so she took it upon herself to consult
General Campos, Senor Silvela and
others as to the best means Of pacifying
Cuba by an endeavor to satisfy the au.
Economists and thus virtually to steal a
march on American diplomacy.
All the statesmen whom she con-
suited appear to have advised Liberal
tbinet as the best means of attaining
the queens wishes. Thereupon her
majesty thanked General Azcarraga for
his splendid services as minister of war
and intimated her intention to appoint
Senor Sagasta as president OF the
council

Sagasta's Talk.

LONDON, Oct. ga special dispatch
from Madrid gives the substance of an
interview between newspaper CORE.
oondent and an unnamed member of
. new Spanish cabinet. The latter is
u e.oted as saying that Senor Sagasta
will carry cut the Cuban reforms pro.
posed by Marshal Martinez de Ca1npos
10 years ago. These include the grant
ing of autonomy to Cuba on condition
that she take over the Cuban debt, in.
cluding the war debt, and accept
Spain's customs tariff.
Continuing, the new cabinet minister
is said to have declared that Premier
Sagasta would not consent to customs
union between the United States and
Cuba, and that if the former were not
satisfied Spain was prepared to fight.
as the Spanish navy was regarded as
equal in strength to the navy Of the
United States.
Further. if necessary, Spain, accord.
ing to the cabinet minister, would have
recourse to privateering.
In conclusion the new minister is al.
legged to have said that it was improba.
BILE that Spain would consent to recog.
nize the insurgent debt, but Premie,
Sagasta wculd not prevent the new Gu

RAIL AND WATER ROUTE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-The con.
struction of o railroad from Vancouver,
or from some point east of that place on
the Canadian Pacific line, to Dawson
City and the Klondike country in gen.
eral will not be very difficult OF ex-
pensive undertaking, in the opinion of
Collingwood Schrieber of Ottawa, who
is now in this city. He has arrived with
a party Of Ottawa people including E.
Necomb, deputy minister Of justice.
In discussing the building Of road
to Dawson, Mr.. Schrieber said:
"Two surveys are now being made
from different points on the Canadian
Pacific. The latter company is making
one of the surveys and the government
is making the other. It will be neces.
sary to build only 80 miles Of railroad tc
make good rail and water route from
the Canadian Pacific to Dawson City,
The railway can be operated the year
round, but during the winter months
the water route will not be open fol

KANSAS WON OUT
Federal Court Decides Against
the Kansas City Stock Yards
Company
In the Case Brought by Attorney
General Boyle to Enforce
Rates.
It Means Thousands, If Not
Millions, of Dollars to the
Company.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 5. Judge Foster
has handed down his opinion in the
Kansas City Stock yards case. in which
he decided against the company on
every legal question raised. The opin.
ion is very sweeping and the decision is
. complete victory for Attorney Gen.
eral Boyle.
The stockyards company will appeal
to the United States supreme court.
There were three points on which the
stock yard owners relied. Judge Fos-
ter said that none Of them could stand.
His decision boiled to few words is:
"The law governing stock yards
charges was regularly passed by the
Kansas legislature. The stock yards
company is only an incident Of com.
merce and in the absence of action by
congress is subject to the state laws.
| Congress has not acted to fix regula.
tons governing it. The charges fixed
by the legislature would give reasona.
bic return on capital invested"
! Means a Very Large sum.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Oct. 5. The Kan.
sas City Stock yards case grew out OF
the efforts of the stock yards company
to prevent The enforcement IF the law
passed by the last Kansas Legislature
reducing yardage charges. The taking
Of testimony in the case was begnn in
this city on April 80, last, George w.
Clark, assistant attorney general Of
Kansas, acting as special master. The
purpose of the stock yards people was
to prove that present charges were rea
sonable; that the prices fixed by the
Kansas legislature were ruinous, anG
that in attempting to fix rates the state
interfered with the interstate commerce
The yards lie in both Kansas Cities
being situated on the Kansas Missouri
line. To the company. which is thu
second largest in the country, the re
suit Of the case means thousands, il mo-
millions, Of dollars.

AUTUMN ON WIND RIVER.

The black pines stand high up the hills,
The white snow sits their columns deep
While through the canyons riven cleft
From there beyond the rose clouds sweep
Serene above their paling shapes
One star hath wakened in the sky,
And here in the gray world below
Over the sage the wind blows by.
Rides through the cottonwoods' ghost rank!
And huns aloft a sturdy tune
Among the rivers tawny bluffs,
Cntenanted as is the moon.
Far meath the huge invading dusk
Comes silence awful through the plain,
But ycnder horseman's heart is gay,
And he gees singing, might and main.

queries: "You ask me is the Liberal

need mediation when our Intentions

party-aim at realizing all that America
could suggest?

Liberals, could assent to foreign inter.

Cuban autonomists themselves.
