With the rich discoveries of gold in

there is little reason for would-be

No Changes to be Made In the Consular
Offices at Present.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-A Washington
special says General Fitzhugh Lee,
consul general to Cuba, has announced
to his friends that he expects to return
to Cuba about Decem ber 10 and remain
until the conclusion of the war. He
will be accompanied by Walter B.
Barker, consul at Sagua la Grande,
who arrived in this country shortly
after General Lee, and on the same
mission-to furnish the president with
definite information as to the situation
in Cuba.
President Mckinley has decided to
make no change of consular offices on
the island until the rebellion in one
way or another is brought to an end.
The interests of this country and its
citizens, the president believes. will be
better served by officers who have had
experience on the island.

To Maintain Order.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-A special from
Washington says:
President Mckinley will issue an or
der placing large district in Alaska,
of which St. Michaels will be the CEN
ter, under the control of the military
tion the authorities believe that the
lawlessness feared as result of the
rush of goldseekers to the great North
west territory will be suppressed. The
proposed military district will be about
100 miles square.
The determination to issue the order
was arrived at. it is said, at cabinet
meeting. While no official reports of
anything but a peaceful condition have
reached the department, private COM
munications from responsible parties
have convinced the authorities that
something more was necessary than
civilian rule. The authorities say that
offenses committed within the bound
aries of the district, TO be described by
the president in his order, will subject
those responsible to the military, and
prosecution by the civilian authorities
before whom they will be brought.
Tho department is making an ex-
animation of the geographical condi-
tions OF the country in the vicinity of
the mouth of the Yukon, to obtain
data that will enable it to prescribe
exactly the boundaries of the proposed
new reservation. 1t is also desirable
to limit theTeserVation to the smallest
dimensions that will take in ST. Mi

from the town itself.

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.

Protected interests Are Allowed to
Write the Schedules.
1t is becoming known that the agent
of each protected interest wrote the
schedule in the Dingley tariff bill. The
sugar schedule as it now stands was
largely written by Solon Humphreys,
Pierre Smith, John Farr, William IL.
Lefferts, Charles p. Armstrong and
John E. Searles, treasurer of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company.
Thomas Harrison, for the Manufac-
turing Chemists association, wrote in
substance the chemical schedule.
II. B. Newton, president of the Ma
tional Association of the Brick Manu-
facturers, prepared section SO of the
bill.
Green glass manufacturers wrote sec
ton "a, imposing duty upon green
and colored bottles, and their demand
was literally complied with.
Simon Burns wrote section 80, and his
language was followed word for word.
Manufacturers of spectacles, eye
glasses, lenses. opera glasses, etc, had
their schedule as prepared by them
selves adopted without the change of a
single word.
Cotton spinners and cotton manufac-
turers demanded certain rates in writ
ing, and their demands were honored.
The section of the cutlery schedule
referring to pocket knives and table
knives was prepared a month before it
was given out by the committee. 1t
was in the possession of certain manu-
facturer and he showed it to friends of
his in New York and other cities weeks
before anyone else knew what that sec
ton was to be. AT the same time the
majority of the ways and means COM
mittee had decided to submit the retro
active amendment.
1t is a fact that the wool manufac-
turers of the country knew on the even
ing of January what the wool schedule
was to be. The present boom in sugar
is directly traceable to the fact that the
retroactive clause is to be used to put
up the price of sugar to the trade, while
the trust never intends to pay a cent of
increased duty on sugars imported prior
to the date the new bill becomes law

GLOOMY OUTLOOK ZOE HANNA.
democrats May Control the Next
Ohio LeSfsInture

OnAo Legislature.
The recent municipal elections in
Ohio, resulting in democratic victories
everywhere, have rendered quite un-
certain the complexion of the Iegisla-
ture to be chosen in that state in No
yember. Politicians of both parties
naturally are discussing the situation
with deep interest, for it is to be re-
menbered that the new legislature will
elect successor to Senator Hanna. 1t
is asserted by democrats and not denied
oy republicans that the democratic pros
pect of carrying the legislature and
electing a senator have been considera-
bly, frightened by the test of strength
shown in the Ohio city elections.
Two democrats have their eye on the
senatorship. Both of them are rich.
ambitious and great hustlers, and
neither will stop to count the cost with
such a prize in view. These are ex-
Senator Brice and John r. Mclean, of
the Cincinnati Enquirer. Both will
pitch in from this time on. In fact,
both did pitch in weeks ago. They and
all their friends are much encouraged
by the present situation.
Mark Hanna is desperately in earnest
in the endeavor. to succeed himself,
and as his BARRE is a good-sized one.
1t will be on tap from now right along
Hanna is almost always in a talkative
mood. just now he appears to have
relapsed into a thoughtful strain and
evinces no eagerness to discuss the les
son of the spring elections in Ohio. 1t
is understood that the republican mayor
of Cleveland, just reelected, is a bitter
personal enemy of Hanna and carries
his animosity so far as to prefer dem
ocrat in the United States senate to
the friend of Mckinley. This gentleman
is said to control the organization Of
the dense republican constituency of
which the city of Cleveland is the cen
ter. This means fight against Hama
in his own immediate household and
predicts the success of the democratic
legislative ticket in that political di-
vision. The republican boss of Gin
cinnati was washed out of sight in that
city. and it is scarcely anticipated that
he will emerge from the debris in con-
dition to put up any kind of fight
in November. The republican factionaI
dissersions, together with the general
party discomfort so plainly visible,
produce a situation of sponding
elation and depression in the demo
cratic and republican, ranks. 1t will
make the coming state campaign one
of the most lively interest, not only
locally, but nationally. The republic
an chances for picking up a senator in
another state, which might be named,
are fully offset by the imminent pros
pect of dropping one in Ohio.-St. Louis

The bone cutter is as necessary to the
poultryman as his feedInill. 1t enables
him to use an excellent and cheap food,
and gives him profit where he might
otherwise be compelled TO suffer a loss.
1t is claimed that bone cutter pays
for itself in eggs, and really costs moth
ing. Bones are now one of the staple
articles of food for poultry, and no
ration should have them omitted. They
are food, grit and lime all combined in
one, and the hens will leave all other
foods to receive the cut bone. If cut
fine, even chicks and ducklings will
relish such excellent food, while tur-
keys grow rapidly on it. To meet with
success requires the use of the best
materials, and green bone beats all
other substances as food for poultry

When sheep have access to the hay or
