TUESDAYs ELECTIONS.

Elections were held Tuesday in New
York, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and South
Dakota.
The latest returns from Maryland show
that the Senate will be Republican by
a majority of eight, and that the House
is so evenly divided that it will require the
official vote of Carroll county TO decide
which party shall organize this coordinate
branch Of the legislature. The Republicans
concede the election of three Of the four
Democratic candidates from Carroll, but
claim that Grouse, Democrat, who ran be.
hind the ticket, has been beaten by STAINS
bury, Republican, who leads his ticket.
Returns have been received from all the
districts in the county with the exception of
New Freedom, and upon this one depends
the political complexion of the House of
Delegates. The Democrats claim that it
will show majority OF nineteen for Mr..
Grouse, but this the Republicans will not
concede.
Baltimore City went Republican and
Masters majority is about 5000.
In the sixth judicial district Mr.. John
G. Motter was elected Judge over Mr.. Clay.

NO LONGER a COMPETITOR.

A dispatch from Washington, dated o.
iober 3lst, says:
Secretary Wilson, OF the Department of
Agriculture, has just issued a report, pre-
PARED under his direction by Frank II.
Hitchcock, chief Of the section of foreign
markets that gives some interesting facts
relative to the present wheat shortage in
Austria Hungary and the consequent i'm
loIiauon into that country OF American
lraiu. According to the United States con-
sui at R,icbenberg, Austria, an importation
oi 400 carloads OF American wheat was
made as early as August, coming by the
way ui Hamburg. Other importations were
reported, among them one Of 36,700 bushels
oI rcd winter No. and Kansas wheat, pur.
chased through the Vienna Produce Elk.
change. After recountlng these unusual
impoitations OF the present season the bull
letin presents careful review of the grain
situation in Austria Hungary during the
past ten years. The crops OF the present
season are remarkably small
II the official estimates quoted are fulfilled
the combined wheat production Of Austria
aud Hungary will amount TO little more
than 13O,O00,000. or GO,0OO0OO bushels short
OF the crop harvested in 1896, which was es.
timated at about 10000, 600 bushels. Aside
from the abnormal conditions of the present
year, annual statistics OF production, impor-
tation and expectation during the decade
make ii apparent that marked change has
occurred in the last few years as regards the
grain situation in Austria Hungary The
tendency of the various cereals has been to.
wards larger home consumption of the
national product, and a consequent reduc.
ton of the surplus available for shipment to
other lands. Most OF the cereals are now
brought into the country in larger quanti-
ties than they are exported. Barley is the
only grain Of which any considerable
amount continues to be shipped abroad
In respect 10 other cereals, the status of the
monarchy is apparently that of transition
IRON an exporting into an importing coun
try. While 1t is hardly to be expected that
these changed conditions will, to any con.
siderable extent, create an enlarged demand
for American cereals, the facts set forth are
certainly OF interest as indicating the lessen
ed Importance OF Austria Hungary among
the countries with which the United States
IS Obliged TO compete in the marts of the
world. The flour trade with Brazil is large
and increasing, reaching l10,934 barrels per
annum during 1591-95. This increasing
hold upon the market should be controlled
exclusively by United States millers.

A Moscow (Russia) correspondent con.
firms the rumor that New York syndi-
cate has sounded the Cars government
with view of applying for the concession
of constructing railway to Alaska. The
connection with the Siberian line, which is
now Fastening its completion toward Viad-
livestock, would be effected from Alaska by
means of ferries and bridges crossing Der.
ing straits. One fine day, says the writer,
the Trans-Siberian Road will re fat dc-
conpIi and in thirty three days, that is to
say, a shorter time than Jules Verne prog
nosticated, we shall be able to make the tour
around the world. From New York to
Bremen it would take at most seven days,
from Bremen to st. Petersburg one day and
half, from st. Petersburg to Viadivostock
ten days, from Viadvostock to San Fran.
cisco another ten days, and, say, four days
and half thence to New York. Expenses
need not exceed $500.

The November Meteors.

The feature OF greatest interest on the as.
possibility of brilliant display Of Leonids
on the 18th and 14th of the month. Once
in thirty three years at about this time in
November a wonderful shower of meteors
has been observed. The shower OF Novem.
Der IL, 1888, Is reported 10 have caused con.
sternation among the ignorant negroes of
the South, while it attracted attention the
world over The air is said 10 have seemed
as full Of falling stars as snowflakes 10 a
snow storm. In 1866 Europe witnessed a
remarkable display for some six or seven
hours. The Leonids, as these meteors are
called, because they seem TO radiate from a
point in the constellation Leo, are, there.
fore, due TO return in force in 1899, but the
earth will doubtless meet the advance guard
this and next year, while there should be
some stragglers in 1900. Unfortunately,
moonlight will seriously interfere with OBJ.
servations in 1890, while even this year the
moon is between the full and the third quar-.
ter on the 18th of the month. In 1893 con.
ditlons will be more favorable. In any case
it will be advisable TO watch for Leonids
this year, as there is an even chance OF
something spectacular Leo does not rise
until about midnight this month, 30 that the
later the watch is kept up, the greater the
probability of seeing the meteors.
Another well known meteoric sho wer due
IN November is the Andromedes. They
are seen on or about the 9th of the month
and come, as their name indicates, from the
constellation of Andromeda. Every thir.
teen years they appear in unusual numbers
the last two times having been in 1872 and
1885, so that the period will be completed
in 1893. 1t is by no means improbable,
however, that there will be Andromedes
enough to cause comment this year. An.
dromeda is above the horizon almost the
entire night during November. so that the
meteors may be expected at any time, al
though, as a rule, more are seen during the
hours after midnight than any other time.

The Gloom I'm Madrid.

The prolonged hesitation OF the Govern
ment to remove WEYLER and the poor pros
pect Of doing anything in Cuba while he is
in command, combine to produce discour-
agement at the Spanish capital.
The striking fact for us IN the feeling,
which is evidently gaining ground in many
quarters, that American intervention is now
only question OF time, that Spain is at the
end Of her resources, and that the hun
dreds Of thousands Of men and hundreds OF
millions Of dollars she has poured into Cuba
are inadequate to put down the revolt.
The Spanish navy cannot prevent sup
plies from being landed for the patriots
the Spanish army cannot clear the hills of
Pinar del Rio: the Cubans cross and recross
both the trochas, and these enormously
costly fortified lines seem to be little more
than traps for keeping Spanish troops in
garrison. A few weeks ago WEYLER could
find no enemy in Pinar del Rio, but now
that his elaborate movements have produced
nothing, it is only necessary to send out a
reconnaissance in order to find patriot troops
attacking 1t, or to despatch provision train
In order TO expose 1t to raid
Two and half months of the new cam
paign have passed, and in another month
two years of the war will have been COM
pleted, with the patriots stronger than ever.
Such for Spain Is the gloomy prospect. Be
fore long tho Intervention of the United
States to procure peace on the basis OF
Cuban Independence, now expected and
dreaded, may be secretly welcomed by Spain.

which followed the Protestant secessions,
proved irresistible, and could be impeded
only for q moment by individual luke
warmness or resistance. The successor OF
LEO XIII. may not possess his personal
prestige, but IL is pronounced incredible
that he could give the policy Of the Vatican
. permanent direction contrary to that i'm
posed by the drift OF the nations and ac-
cepted by the picked men Of the Church.
Assuming, on the other hand, that the hope
of LEO XIII. may be eventually realized,
have we ground to fear return of that spir-
itual despotism and rigorous supervision OF
civil as well as religious interests which
was exercised by the Papacy at those
very periods of the Middle Ages when
it's temporal power was Insignificant
or nh' We are reminded by NJ. DE
voGtE, that JOSEPH DE MAIsTRE undertook
to calm such apprehensions at time when
civil liberty by no means possessed all the
safeguards accumulated In our own day.
In his book, Du Pdpc. ho says: If
they ask me, What will limit the power OF
the Popei I will tell them: Everything; ;
canons, laws, national customs, royal pow
ers, great tribunals, national assemblies,
inalienahle rights, representative bodies,

A New Transformation.

The Administration OF GROVER CLEvE-
LAND has been remarkable for its opposi-
tion to various ideas and aspirations that
have lain at the root OF the national senti-
ment since the foundation OF the republic.
Before the spring OF 1896 Mr.. CLEVELAND
had committed enough OF these to the sole
keeping OF the Republicans to make the
cause OF the Democratic party hopeless, ana
to drive the Democracy in desperation to
the advocacy of social revolution.
Within the forces which successfully OPP
posed the Repudiationists Is a considerable
body OF men SO absorbed In business that
they spurn the political side OF the Cuban
question with anger and contempt. a
subject which we can say with pride
Is considered very seriously and sym
pathetically by vast majority OF the
American public is hated by all the
Clevelandites and numerous kindred spirits
in the Republican ranks, as an intolerable
intrusion into the domain Of commerce
They shun 1t because, to quote noted mer.
chant Of this district, 1t unsettles values" I"
Meanwhile various eminent Repuda-
tors are Identifying themselves with the
cause of liberty in Cuba: and despite the
efforts OF men like the II a. HENRY CABOT
LODGE, they are reinforcing their once lost
cause with the prestige OF the first principle
OF our national existence. A word should
be enough to wise men.
The sun., 1897-01-13

A few facts should be considered pre-
liminary to the Senate's study In detail OF
the arbitration treaty proposed for this
country and Great Britain.
Tho first Is that arbitration is not tho
ideal achievement Of craftsmanship. Every
enlightened and self-respecting nation cher
ishes some regard for its own sense OK right,
for its convictions ms to the virtue OF its
cause, for its power to understand all ques-
tions which involve its interests, and for It's
ability to deal with them wisely, honorably,
and to the best advantage OF its people.
The theory OF arbitration, moreover. affords
no guarantee OF practical justice in the set
tlcment 1t contemplates.
For nearly acentury, or since 1912 which
saw what was in fact only the last battle Of
the Revolution Of 1916. the United States
has had no war with England, In spite Of
all temptations on either side. War be-
tween the two countries Is scarcely conceiv-
able. Yet situation might arise In which
an agreement for an arbitration between
them, presided over by some European mag
nate, would be grave and possibly IRENE
diable calamity.
In proceeding to consider this treaty,
therefore, the Senate should be mindful Of
the truth that the declaration Of peace OF
the sort to be established by it, demands
deliberation upon its causes, Qualifications,
and dangers, as patriotic, cautious. and
statesmanlike as declaration Of war.
The sun., 1897-01-13

there were many futile outbreaks against
Spain in Cuba, each of which was followed
by the execution or banishment OF those
who took part in It. In the year 1S43. when
the Captain-General was spprehensive
OF more serious insurrection, he estab-
lished military tribunals in every province,
the DEGREES of which were Of the most bar
barous character, providing for trial by tor
ture, death by the Rarrote, punishment by the
lash, starvation in dungeons, and deportation
to penal settlements So ferocious was Spain
in Cuba then that no less than 10000 men,
women, and children suffered In these
ways. Five years afterward, and at sew
eral other times until 1868, there were
local protests against grievances, all Of
which were suppressed In the Spanish
manner. Then came the Ten Years War, In
which Spain was again at her worst. Once
more, in the present war, Spain stands out
as a savage, revelling in carnage and cru
city. 1t is true that the scafYold has been
the emblem of Spain In Cuba all through
the nineteenth century.
That part OF tho Cuban manifesto which
refers to the debts that are charged to tho
account OF Cuba Is instructive; but IL may
here be dismissed with the remark that in
case Of Spain's success in the war Cuba will
have to meet an annual payment OF over
s23, 900, 900 as interest upon this burden of
debt. We fully agree with the argument
OF the manifesto that In case Of Cubas sue
cess in the war she should not DO held respon-
siblc for this debt, or for any part OF It, 1t
was incurred by Spain for her own nefari-
ous purposes, and Spain must be left to
deal with her creditors without drawing
upon tho colony which she has despoiled.
betrayed, and outraged. No Spanish debt
for free Cuba!
The sun., 1897-01-13
Not TO he Deceived.

The Cubans are not to be deceived by any
intrigues between Madrid and Washington.
CANovAs and CLEVELAND may lay plans,
under the specious guise Of reform, for the
maintenance Of SPANS sovereignty in Cuba /;
but what have the revolutionary Cubans
to do with these plansf They have
not been consulted about them, either
by CANovAs or by CLEVELAND They never
asked these parties to form plan for Cuba,
under which Spain should stay there They
have always declared that no plan for the
continuance of Spanish rule upon any
terms would be accepted by them. Their
plan begins with independence. They
formed It two years ago after one OF like
kind formed nearly thirty years ago. and
have never departed from IL in the least at
any time.
What is the use in CLEVELAND trying to
make an arrangement with CASovAs, for
the benefit OF Spain. without first taking
account Of the party in revolt against Spain :
Why should they fool over terms, which,
as they ought to know, are sure to be re-
jected by the party OF most Importance in
the case. which has already laid down other
terms OF wholly different kindi 1t is not
craftsmanship on the part Of CLEVELAND
and CANovAs 1t Is humbug. They seek to
befog the situation, for the sake of the Gov
ernment OF Spain.
We do not believe that the Cub an leaders
or people are to be deceived by these two
impostors. We do not believe they will
surrender to Spain at the instigation Of
men who could not carry out any contract
into which they might enter, or that they
will give up q cause which is sure to be
crowned with success. They will never
trust dissemblers whose enmity to them
has been manifested for years past upon
every occasion.
CLEVELAND, Joined with CANovAs and
WEYLER, will fail in every attempt to
crush the revolution, to deceive Cuba, or to
perpetuate Spain's monstrous rule over .
people who have already rejected 1t.
