Madrid. Sept. 2G.-The arrival Of I'm
tied States Minister Woodford from San
Sebastian has made a sensation. The pro-
gram OF the United States has cen as
Certained.
This does no. contemplate a declara-
ton o. war if Spain rejects mediation,
but. according to report, an destinations
proclamation to the world of d%isapproval
Of the Cuban regime, by suspending dip,
lomatic relations with Spain and with
drawing the United States minister"
General Woodtord has declined TO be
intervis wed on the subject, further than
10 say tat his conference with the Duke
OF Tetuan. the foreign minister, Was OF
,he most satisfactory character. The IN
public opinion has been painfully i'm
pressive upon him, but he hopes this will
soon be allayed. as he believes his mis-,
sion favorable TO Spanish interests and
cannot comprehend that Spain could re-
ject mediation assigned to end an inn
poverishing war.
He has not named a time at which the
war must be terminated, but he hopes,
as the result o: his tenders that it will
be ended quickly. He believes the war
is inflicting incalculahle loss upon the
United States and that it is impossible
to prevent the organization OF filibuster>
ing expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro,
tect Minister Woodtord on his journey
from San Sebastian to this city. A party
OF gendarmes. commanded by a sub lieu,
tenant, guarded the southern express. on
which he was a passenger. Secret police
were posted at the station. and the pre-,
feet Of police was in waiting to escort
him to his hotel. The drive through the
streets was marked by no special incl.
dent, though several people saluted him,
receiving a bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family has
not accompanied him. but remains be-
hind the French frontier. Minister
Woodford explains that his party is a
large INV requiring a commod!ous home,
and prefers spending a pleasant Octo-
her at Biarritz until a suitable residence
can be secured here. The legation can
not be used as a residence. General
Wood:ord has already engaged a box at
the Royal Opera house and has pur-
chased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome. but receives
official visitors at the legation. where he
passed the entire morning.

Sorrows of the Trust.

An examination of the nature and methods
of the American Sugar Refining Co. is proceed
ing in New York Lexow. The officers of the
trust are afflicted with pitifully short memories
They are not able to remember important trans
actions involving hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, which have occurred within year. They
also seem to have way of mslaying and los
ing important documents which would be ruin
GUS to any other business but that of trust
The deeds for example by which they obtained
control of much of their property are said to he
"'lost" and certainly are not produced i'll court.
The investigating committee asked for the
companies official records. TO this MIR.
Havemeyer replied that he was instructed l,y
the board Of directors not to deliver these papers
1t now remains to be seen which is the more
inhuential the board of directors of the trus, or
the Legislature of the State of New York. JUS.
at present the directors seem to have the best
of it. Mr.. Hdvemeyer has assumed the role Of
martyr and says the poor trust is being per>e
cuted. But their deeds have hardly entitled
them to benevolence and sympathy on the part
of the poeple.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

FIGHT ON DEPARTMENT STORES.

The. upper house of the Illinois legislature
has passed bill to abolish department stores,
and it is likely the lower house will pass the
bill. Its constitutionality is questioned, how
ever, and il is likely the governor will not sign
it. The little retailers may just as we'll make
up their minds that their days are numbered
The department store is here to stay, and it is
only matter of few years when each county
seat will have its big department store, which
will do the business of the town, and most of
the business of the county, and the present re-
tail merchants will be forced out of business.
Their blind eyes will then be opened.

POpuliStS Make Demands.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 23.-The Popu.
lists OF the senate and house have made form
al demand upon Speaker Reed for representation
as political party instead of as an integral
portion of the minority. This demand was
presented to the speaker today by c. J. Bell of
Colorado and Senator w. V. Allen of Nebraska
1.-THE failure of the speaker to recognize this
great party as distinctive party of the minority.
they say, "has worked great hardship ON the
members of the house and also upon their cou-
stituency, which is one-6fth of the population
OF the United States. The Populist members
were therefore compelled to object to all the
legislation by unanimous consent or permit the
two larger parties to get bills through with their
consent without any recognition whatever for
themselves
"That i'll consequence the Democratic and Re-
publican parties had passed most of the bills
without the objections of any Populist
"We respectfully request that this party be
considered distinct integral part of the minority
and be awarded representation OIL the ways and
means committee, the appropriation committee,
and the banking, coinage and weight and meas
ures, elections committee and other mpo n
committees as distinct party minority"

Judge Riggs took charge of the court in

was shown by recount of the ballots. The
senate decided in his favor, every Republican
senator voting for Riggs. The mouthings in
duiged in by certain Republicans is mere bum
comb, intended to prejudice the ignorant. Ev-
cry person who knows anything about the case
is satifed that result of the contest is fair and
just. ..
Judge Riggs will prove himself one of the
best judges that ever sat on the bench in the

RAILROADS HARD HIT.

Attorneys representing various railway lines
MET in Chicago the other day, but accomplished
nothing owing to a decision of the United
States supreme court. Railroad pools and all
traffic associations which provide for division
of tonnage and profits received a heavy blow
The supreme court decided that the Sherman
antitrust law of 1890 was applicable to rail-
road transportation, and that these pools and
traffic arrangements are illegal
The decision has startled the Eastern railroad
men. When the matter was brought to the
supreme court, these Eastern trunk-lne fellows,
who wanted the anti-pooling law knocked out,
made up 500, 900 "purse" and furnished the
Trans Missouri Traffic Association with the
best railroad counsel in the country. They
were confident of success, but the decision fell
like clap of thunder from clear sky-it was
complete surprise. If the law is carried out,
it will put an end to traffic pools and combin-
atoms. The decision was rendered by Justice
Peckham.
There is rejoicing in cities and towns which
have suffered from unjust discrimination.
Governor Leedy is highly elated over the de-
cision, and thinks the people are at last to tri-
umph. He says: Things are certainly look
ing better Public sentiment is all-powerful,
and think we are in a fair way to get what
we have so long sough in the Western country"
