Didn't Like Being Squeezed.

Once, at dinner-table in London,
there sat famous, grim old Russian.
His seat happened to be at the corner of
the table, which was somewhat crowded
with distinguished guests. In the very
midst of the brilliant function, of sud-
den the famous and grim old Russian
set both hands to the tables edge, and
gave it a sound, energetic shove. The
glasses danced, the soup spilled, the
fruits tumbled from the epergnes. The
ladies and gentlemen at the opposite side
of the table staggered backward from
the shock. All eyes were fixed in wrath
and CONSERVATION on that Russian
guest. And then said he to the hostess,
in a cheerful and matter-of-fact tone:
"See you. 1 nevair could bear to be
squveezed!"

To Raise Officers Paw.

German army officers are to have
their pay raised. First lieutenants will
receive $500 year instead of $315, cap
tains 1886 instead of 5000, majors 81 500
instead of $3.50, and colonies So, 100 in
stead of $3.50. The money for the in
crease is obtained from the saving the
government makes in reducing the in
terest on the public debt from four to
three and one-half per cent. The change
Is not all profit to the officers, as they
are compelled by the army regulations
to invest their savings in government
funds.

ABSOLUTE FREEDOM.
This Is What the Cuban nsurgent
Leader Gomez Will Insist On.
willing to Pay an Indemnity of $780,
100000 to Spain, But the Offer
Must Be Accepted Within
Four Months.

Gen. Gomensaid in an interview with
a sugar planter of the province of Santa
Clara that the only concession he is
willing to make to Spain is that the re-
public of Cuba should pay war in
demnity to that country in case the in
dependence of the island is fully recog-
nized by the Madrid government.
Gen. Gomez said that even this con-
cession is conditional on SPANS recog-
nizing the independence of Cubawithin
four months from January 1, 1897. If
the concession should be accepted later,
when the island would be completely
ruined by the war and Spain would be
without resources to continue the fight,
he would prefer the triumph of Cuba
without any compromise for the bene-
fit of the Spanish treasury. He added
that his offer had the appreciation of
the government of the republic OF
Cuba, without whose consent he would
not listen to any Spanish oyertures for
peace. He denied also as Spanish
calumnies the news published in Ha-
vana that he was willing to surrender
on the condition of certain or any re-
forms or home rule.
Gen. Gomez did not think that the
amount of indemnity ought to be the
debt contracted bySpain in Cuba, which
amounts now to $4OO,OOO,O0O. In his
opinion $2OO,0OO,OOO was the most that
Cuba could pay without depriving her
self of the resources necessary to the
establishment of the republic. The
only reasonable way of intervention on
the part of the United States, he said,
was to try TO have Spain end the strug-
gle on the honorable conditions now
offered, because the Cubans would re-
ject any proposal not contemplating
the absolute Independence Of the
island,
! These statements have made a sensa-
ton among the few persons in Havana
who know of them, says the New York
Suns special correspondent. They were
made in view of the news sent from Ha-
vana to the Cuban commander in chief
and published in Spanish newspapers,
that he was willing to surrender.
Gomez made his statement before
several persons who are in communica-
lion with influential Spaniards in
Havana that the news might reach Wey-
Ter.
At dinner a. few days ago in the
house of his eXcellency. Don Manuel
Calvo, an influential Spaniard, Gomez
plan was talked over, and it was sug-
gested that the only man who could
bring about peace was Gen. Martinez
Campos. All the Spaniards present
agreed that a liberal measure of home
rule ought to be granted to the island
in which case, they thought, the
forces of the revolution would be dis.
persed.
1t is known in Havana that the
Cuban government is with Gomez and
that, at the instance of one of the sec
'etaries, in case any plan of peace baset
merely on home rule should be present
ed, a decree will issue declaring a trai
tor, subject to the death penalty, any
Cuban transmitting to the insurgenti
in arms Spanish proposals to grant any
thing less than the absolute indepen
dence of the island.

stronger than Ever.

knowledd truth when it says this
age has produced no more wonderful
man than w. j. Bryan. He stands
to-day before the American people
their most peerless citizen although
the shadow of defeat is resting upon
him. His popularity, instead Of
waning, has increased and the afec
ton of the people for him is something
remarkable, the like of which has not
| been witnessed since the days of JEFF
ferson, Jackson and Henry Clay.
Wherever he goes the people turn out
in crowds to hear and see him. And
this is not all due to the man himself,
but 10 the cause he represents. This
is not local but the cry comes from
every State and Territory in the
Union. Not long since A. B. Will
ialus, late OF The Greenville News and
a bitter opponent of Bryan, bore tes-
timony to the fact that if the election
were held to day Bryan would be
overwhelmingly elected. All the evil
dence from the doubtful States, where
the tide of battle was turned against
him last year goes to show that the
cause he represented is stronger than
ever. Hon. Champ Clark, who cam
paigned in the First Missouri district
lately and afterwards delivered an ad-
dress at Roanoke College in Verginia,
says be found it the same everywhere
that the one thing most certain to
bring down the house vas the predic.
ton that Bryan would be inaugurated
president IN 1901. There has recently
been a convention of democratic edi-
tors of Missouri and Indiana which
was in the nature of a conference, and
the almost unanimous opinion Of
those editors was that there should be
no oackdown from the Chicago plat
form and that Bryan was the logical
candidate in 1900. The sentiment
was almost unanimous and universal
in favor Of continuing the fight for
silver. One of the most prominent
editors of Indiana said that the men
who worked for silver in 1896
were just as devoted to it as ever and
hundreds who opposed it had come
over and if the pattle were to be-
fought over now Bryan would carry
the State by a tremendous vote. A
Mr. Wolff, who is the president of a big
iron and ship-building plant at Port
lard, Oregon, and a Republican be.
sides, says "if an election were held
now for president the whole Pacific
slope would vote to elect Bryan over
any man the Republicans could
name" There is no weakening of the
lines here in this State, as we well
know, and the testimony from all
other quarters is the same. Even in
Ohio the Republicans are quaking in
their boots for the promised prosperity
upon the election of Mckinley which
has not come, and in Kentucky the
Republicans are making no pretence
to q ghost of a chance of carrying
the fall Collections. The gold men
are fond of nugging the delusion to
their bosoms that the silver cause is
dead and they talk and write glibly
about the passing of Bryan" Tbs
wish is father to the thought. Bryan
is passing but not passing away. He
is only passing on to a higher plane
Of popularity and to deeper depths in
the hearts of the people. The people
feel that the argument is closed and
the issue joined and there is nothing
to be done now but fight it out to a
successful issue.
