well lose their money in one way as in
another. For instance, there was a
temporary stampede for shares In
bicycle factories, just as idiotic as the
previous rush for Barnato stocks. This
extraordinary specializing or gambl ng
spirit is perhaps accounted for by the
dearth of legitimate investments in
Great Britain. There are very few
new productive establishments being
built, the condition of the cotton trade
precludes new factories, the woollen
trade is not sufficiently active to call
for new mills, agriculture is very de-
pressed, tin mining in Cornwall has
been almost wiped out bV competition
from the straits settlements, appreciat-
ed gold and deprecated silver gives
the Malay tin miner a bonus Of over
5000 per ton in silver, as against the
Cornish tin miner in gold standard
England. The coal and iron trades of
Great Britain are also being run on
very narrow margins. There is a con-
siderable minority of capitalists in
England who have held aloof from the
mining stock craze, but are willing to
invest in mines If they can rely on be-
ing squarely dealt with. In other
words, they are willing to take ordi-
nary mining risks if they are protected
from crookedness and chicanery.

THE real name of the duke Of Te-
tuan, Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs, frequently mentioned in dis
patches relating to Cuban affairs is
Charles O'Donuell, Il lineal descendent
of an Irish king of good old Milesian
times, and his family migrated from
the county Donegal to Spain many
years ago. His father, Leopold O'Dor-
nell, rose to fame and fortune under
Queen Isabella of Spain, and accom-
panied her into exile. He was after
ward permitted to reside in Spain. and
became governor of Cuba for term.
The present foreign min ster, Charles
O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuau. though
proud of his Irish blood, is no lover of
home rule, but rather believes in the
''divine right of kings" Speaking at
a recent distribution of prizes to mil.
itary cadets at Madrid, among whom
there were two @ 'Neills, an O'Connor
and a Maher, he remarked: 1--WE
Irish in settling on the Spanish plains
and Offering our swords to Spain. are
merely returning to the ancient home
of our ancestors. The AIilesians went
from Spain to Ireland: we have merely
come back to live among our cousins, "

But it is suggestive of newer i'm
pulses, says the n. z. Journal Com
merce, commenting in President Nc
Kinley's inaugural address, derived
from the pressure of rapidly forming
public sentiment, that he should so ex-
plicitly restate the plank of the
party platform about trusts, and should
so frankly accept the responsibility for
means to check the growth of monopol-
ist;c combinations in restraint of trade.
That is one of the most suggestive
parts of the address, and one that
may be productive of important re-
suits,

The movement in this City to assist
the struggling Cubans in their fight for
liberty and independence has taken
fresh impetus since Mayor Phelan met
the promoters of the plan, Messrs.
Mascherini and Jones, and agreed to CO.
operate with them by taking hold of the
matter and appointing committee to
head the movement.
For the past few days Secretary Mas
cherini has been overwhelmed with letters
offering sympathy and assistance, and
many of those interested in the cause
have called personally to tender their aid
and services.
Mr.. Mascherini was deep in letter to
Colonel Ethan Allen, who has charge of
the New York headquarters, last evening
when called upon.
There is no question of our succeed
ing in helping the Cubans by moral and
financial assistance" he said, "and even

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. 10.-The
place this evening in the spacious ball
room of the Waldorf Hotel The mise en-
scene was of bewildering enchantment, a
veritable fairy land, resplendent with all
that wealth and taste could command
and graced by the presence of many hun
dreds of memb bers of the fashionable set,
radiant in rich robes of historic renown.
The richness of the decorations the
ancient picturesque costumes. the beauti-
full allegorical toilettes, the commingllng
of so many beauties, old and young,
amazed and charmed all fortunate enough
to have been hidden to the ball.
AS q superb social function it has had

The scene presented was strange specta-

lima gined the graves had opened and the
kings and queens, the princesses and the
titled aristocracy of the decayed centuries
had arisen in chorus to again become
themselves in all their old-time glory
Perhaps there were 700 guests present, all
gorgeously garbed in silks and satins, be-
decked in diam onds.
Almost every character of note in the
times OF Louis XIV and XIV, from the
plebeian peasant to the jewel-crowned
king and queen, were personated. They
presented imposing fl ures, dancing the
stately minuet or whirling in the merry
waltz. Numerous were the pseudo Marie

Empress Josephines, Mary Queen of

soul for Cuba, for only that kind of MAJ
terial can do the cause any good.
81 received to-day a visit from a most
remarkable man. His name is T. B.
Cunningham and he lives in this City.
In I84S he joined the movement that was
started in the Southern States in favor of
Cuba and with others started to embark
for the island. Through some mistake
portion of the expedition reached the coast
ahead of the others and embarked, leaving
the detachment behind.
Those who succeeded in reaching
Cuba were captured by the Spanish war
ship Pizzaro, and laid down their arms
under a promise that they would receive
fair play and a just trial, and within
few days, without the semblance of a
trial, they were shot down like dogs in
Havana.
"Yet this man is willing to start to-
morrow to fight for Cuban freedom.
That is but a sample of the offers we re-
ceive, and | feel assured that within few
weeks we will have all the men we can
accommodate.
Tomorrow President Jones will call
on Mayor Phelan to get the names of
those who are to be appointed as
committee, to thank the Mayor for the
interest he has taken and to learn his
wishes in regard to the mass-meeting in
favor of Cuba that is to be called very
soon.
''With the assistance of THE CALL
we will make that mass meeting the
greatest that was ever held in San Fran.
cisco and will do the Cuban cause much
good.
"The speakers will be prominent men,
and we will have something tangible to
show those who attend"
