GORMANS' THIN TRICK.
HIS OGsr to Restlre as noas of the Mary
land Democracy has a Cable TIED TO u.
Editor Absl,s Answsr.

Editor AbslI's Answer.
BALFpIdRE. Nd. Oct. 1.-THE sua
publishes lengthy editorial reply to
Senator Germans letter, which in part
is as follows;
mo person with ordinary Intelligence
can read the letter from senator Cor
man to the sun, which is published in
our advertising columns To-day, With
out at once percelvIng nat II is a mere
campaign trick, emlhently Characters
tic In It's palpable insincerlty of the
source from which It proceeds, II Mr.
German really wishes 10 retire fIom
the contest, the way for him 60 do is to
retire, not simply tu prale about his
willingness TO sacrifice his personal
ambition for the good of the party un-
der certain impossible and preposterous
conditions. II Is not necessary for him
to come 10 the sun TO ask permission TO
do so. II he wanted to step down and
out. Or had any real intention of doing
so, he could have effected that purpose
with FAR smaller expenditure OF cash
and words, But that Is the very last
thing he has any Intention of doing
His sole object is to assume heroic
attitude In the hope OF deluding the
public into the belief that he Is great
patriot who is willing to sacrifice him
self for the party II the cruel and per-
fldious Sun will only let him. What a
splendid and noble figure our senior
senator presents as he strikes this dra-
IL NJ aalt fro IQnllaf
on the Sun 20 permit him 20 retire"
After referring to Mr.. Germans offer
to meet the Sun half way In the offer to
secure Democratic success In Mary
land, the editorial continues:
Nice, him half way? The sun does
not do things by halves. There Is no
half way house between an honest cur
rencV and spurious one; between an
honest ballot and fraudulent one
between an honest tariff and one mani
pulated In the interest of trusts and
monopolies.
at is not necessary to discuss at
length Mr. Germans defense OF his
public career. He confesses that he Is
opposed to civil service reform; that he
Is opposed to the Australian ballot law,
and that he mutilated the Wilson tariff
bin. His quotations from President
Cleveland in justification Of his attI-
tude on the Wilson bill with not deceive
even the most ignorant or forgetful.
an conclusion the Sun will say plain
ly to Mr.. German that even II he re-
tires from the contest the difficulty OF
restoring harmony would still exist be-
cause not only would his machine re-
main, but because his machine Is
pledged to financial policy and conse-
quently to q senatorial nominee OF his
own color and character.

Smallpox in San Domingo.

Havana, Dec. 6.-The deplorable
condition of the country grows NOR,
and more apparent. Refugees and re-
concentrates are growing more and
more miserable. According to reports
from San Domingo smallpox is making
terrible ravages among the concentrates.
Since April last more than 1000 have
died in the city alone, to say nothing
OF the suburban towns, which are like
wise affected.
The local authorities take no steps
whatever to check the mortality. The
streets of the city are thionged with
famine stricken wretches, who succumb
to disease under perhaps some lonely
porch, and sometimes fall dead in the
gutter, where they remain.

The house of representatives present
ed an animated appearance long before
noon. The surrounding corridors were
filled with jostling, moving crowds be-
fore II O'Clock. The galleries which
overlook the floor were black with peo-
pie. Floral tributes for mem bers were
numerous, and in some instances i'm
posing.
AS the hands of the clock pointed to
IL Speaker Reed, attired in a black
cutaway coat, and wearing a red tie,
assembled the rostrum. The crack OF
the gavel subdued the din on the floor
and conversation in the galleries. In
the deep silence which followed the
calling of the assemblage to order,
prayer was offered by the eminent
divine, Rev. Chalres A. Boney, Of
England. who delivered an invocation
solemn and impressive.
The speaker then directed the clerk
to call the roll. The roll call showed
the presence of 3Ol members. There
were SO vacancies from death or rosig-
nation during the recess and the Gre
dentials of the mem bers.elect We're read
by direction of the speaker, who then
administered the oath of Office to them.
On motion of Dingley resolution was
adopted for the appointment of com.
mittee of three to join the senate COM
mittee to wait upon the president and
inform him that congress was ready to
receive any communication he desired
to make. The speaker named Dingley,
Grosvenor and Bailey for this honor.
On motion of Henderson of Iowa daily

TROLLEY CARS COlLIDED.
Three Persons Killed and n Score In.
jured Near Detroit.

IeTsOus hIlieu anu ScoTc
jured Near Detroit.
Detroit, Dec. 1.-Two suburban cars,
carrying some 20 passengers, and both
running at speed OF 25 miles an hour,
collided on the Detroit e. Oakland cleo
trio railroad, at o'clock this afternoon
Three men were instantly killed and a
score of persons injured, several of them
seriously. The dead are:
John Savage, superintendent of the
road Charles M. Whitehead, motor
man; John Kelly, OF Detroit, book
agent. A dozen others were more or
less seriously injured.
The exact cause OF the accident is not
yet known. According to the schedule,
car leaves Detroit and Pontiac every
hour, and there are three sidings along
the road. Today the cars were behind
time. Tho one bound southwark for
Detroit had passed an outbound car at
a switch two miles from Pontiac, the
crew apparently being ignorant OF the
fact that another outbound car was ap.
preaching them less than two miles
away. The weather, was foggy and the
rails slippery from sleet. The collision
occurred near gravel pit half way be.
tween Pontiac and Birminghay, at the
foot Of two steep grades, down which
{ cars ran at full speed. The ears
"ere driven half through each other,
and were crushed to pieces.
Had it not been for the stout con-
struction of the cars, both of which
were new, it is doubtful whether any of
AS it was, nearly all Of the ii passen-
gers in the southbound car suffered
some injury. Some of the injured were
taken to farmers houses, others were
brought to city hospitals.

Danger Of the Importation OF As's''c
Cholera.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Surgeon'deh.
eral Wyman, OF the marine hospi'"i
service. has submitted his annual re-
port to Secretary Gage. 1t shows tns'
during the fiscal year ended june 'o'
1897, the total number OF patients
treated at hospitals and the dispensarles
connected with the service was 54,471.
Although the total number OF patleh's
treated was 673 in excess OF those treat
ed during the previous fiscal year, tne
expenditures were 1888, 536, when 1t
sci 200 less than the previous year.
The number of immigrants inspected
by officers of the service at the variou
ports aggregated 232 ,327. The surgeon
general says:
1.-The necessity of legislation to secure
proper shelter for deck crews on west
ern waters. to which my attention was
called in the last report, was met ny the
act of congress requiring every steam e.
boat upon the Mississippi river ana It's
tributaries to furnish place for the
crew with protection from the weather.
This subject is one that has long en-
gagged the attention OF the marine hos
pital surgeons, who have made frequent
reports thereon, and this action OF con-
gress will be productive of much Keller.
although the act does not take effect
until June 30, 1898. To meet the
growing demands for the service, new
regulations have been prepared, and
will shortly be issued
The surgeon general invites attention
to the excellent work by officers OF the
corps during the recent visitation OF yell
low fever in the South. Officers were
assigned to infected districts, and, al
though Il number of them were not i'm
mune to yellow fever, nevertheless they
responded with alacrity and performed
their duties with judgment and eff
cheney. Three officers contracted yellow
fever and one lost his life by accident
in the line of duty.

DUE TO THE KLONDikE RUSH.
Big War in Passenger Rates to Ar
rive Soon.

Milwaukee, Dec. 2.-The war in pas.
senger rates between Chicago, Milwau-
kee and ST. Paul is likely to continue,
and railroad men look for the liveliest
kind of cutting in rates further west,
owing to the big rush to the Klondike.
A well-known railroad man said TODAY
that since the rate dropped to 81, reduc-
lions in fares will likely result as far
west AS Portland. The nominal rate ia
$40. 10 second-class on the St. Paul road
and s59.70 first-class. With 81 from
Chicago to st. Paul as basis, the fare
will probably be changed to SAT second
class and *57 first-class. He added that
this was merely preliminary for the
establishment of an entirely new SEIZED.
ule of rates to the West January /.
which will be much lower. All the
roads are preparing to make special
rates to the points nearest the Klondike
region, and each road is after all there
is in it.

GENERAL PANDO SHOT
Standards Discredit 1t in the
Absense of Proofs.
SPANISH DEFEAT AT MATANZAS
Santa Clara the Reported scene ~
dos Last Fight-Smal1pox
in San Domingo.

New York. Dec. GA Herald dis
patch from Havana says: "A repo''
that General Pando, who was placed III
charge of military operations IN Cuoa
nv General Blanco, has been killed IN
an engagement with insurgents IN
Santa Clara province, has just reached
Havana. This has caused the utmost
excitement in palace and social Circles
and every effort is being made to GET
news from General Pando's force TO
verify the startling news.
No details OF the killing OF the com
mander have been received. but IN
abatement is that he was shot in a bal
tie with insurgents while on the march
from Sagua la Grande to the southern
coast of Santa Clara, where he was to
take ship for Manzanillo.
Officers at the palace declare that the
story must be thoroughly confirmed be-
fore they will believe it.
General Pando's plan was to march
right through the heart Of the territory
where General Gomez forces are said
to have control. simultaneously with
the report of Pando's death comes news
of a battle near Matanzas in which the
Spanish forces were driven from the
field. This engagement was bitterly
fought, and it is asserted that the
losses of the Spaniards was very heavy.
The same report says the Cubans
will not allow any cane grinding, and
also that the Spanish towns do not IA
vor grinding, because they hold the
zones of cultivation and grow tobacco
with cheap labor, which they would
lose if the reconcentrados return to
work on the estates.
A letter received by local paper
from correspondent in the East gives
news of big fighting last week near
Bayamo between the rebel Chief Rabi
and General Linares. General Rabi
had only 500 men when General Lin
ares had two columns. No details OF
the fight are at hand, but the Spanish
loss is said to have been heavy, one col
umn being nearly destroyed.
A force of 1000 Spaniards, with ar
tillery, have forced the rebels into the
hills of Pinar del Rio. They must re-
main there or come out and fight, a
thing the Spanish commanders think
they are not likely to do. Small bands
are still moving about with great eau
ton.
Reports of the condition and move
ments of rebels in the east are most
conflicting. 1t is said that Gomez is
coming west with 10000 men, but it is
also said that Gomez is still at the
camp where he has been for the last 10
months, and is being attended by DR..
Candea, staff surgeon.

Burned to the Water Line,

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE steamer
George W. Morley, of Cleveland, was
burned to the waters edge on the beach
at Evanston tonight. Her crew of IS
men got ashore without trouble. The
Morley was DO md from Milwaukee to
Chicago without cargo, and when off
