WHITNEY TALKS POLITICS.
Predicts Democratic Success in Three
Years.

Predicts Democratic Success in Three
Years.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE Journal and
Advertiser today says:
In an interview last night William c.
Whitney said:
IF the Democracy be true to itself,
it will resume control of the nation in
1900"
Mr. Whitney was in England on ell
ection day. He said he knew too little
of the election results to discuss the
situation; but he conceded the i'm
provement in Democratic conditions
and declared the outlook hopeful for
the party.
Restoration of the Democracy to
power depends on the party itself. If
harmony comes it will win. l should
say that the tendency of Democratic
thought is toward a restoration of har-
mony; to that extent the status of the
party as a political organization is I'M
proved
Does the complete restoration of
harmony in the Democratic party de-
pend upon a change in the issues upon
which it's national battle was fought
last year,"
Il believe that issues will changed"
replied the eX-secretary-
Mr.. Whitney declared himself out of
politics and would go no deeper in an
analysis of election results. He did
not say, however, that he would not
take part in the future battles of the
state and national Democracy. AL
though he has held aloof from the
- 81 civ, hA nm
paign of 1896, his friends understand
that his interest in its success has not
waned and he may resume his former
share in it's leadership when the occa-
sion is timely. And that depends up
on what is done with the silver issue.
While the Democratic platform and
line of campaign in Greater New
York were laid down in complete indie
pendence of the gold Democratic fac
ton in which in 1886 Mr.. Whitney be-
longed he was understood to have APP
proved the strict adherence to local
issues, and the waving of the silver
question by the party managers. 1t
now appears that he, in common with
many other party leaders believes that
the silver question will not be the dom
inent question in 1900 and that the
party division resulting from it in 1896
will not exist in the next national cam
paign.
The former secretary of the navy eX-
poets the present Republican admins
tration to create new issues before 1900
which will give the Democracy its OPP
portunity for a more aggressive and
harmonizing campaign than it has had
on the silver issues
Mr.. Whitney declined to discuss the
new Democratic administration of
Greater New York and would say moth
ing as to the probable policy or APP
pointments of Mayor-eleet Van wyck. |

New York. Nov. ia dispatch to
the. World from Madrid says:
The government will not dissolve
parliament nor fix a date for the elc-
lions and the meeting of the new Cortes
until Premier Sagasta can definitely
in December, form an opinion on the
attitude of the American Congress to.
ward Spain, and until President NC
Kinley's message and the contemplate
ed American note on the question Of
the filibustering expeditions enable
him to see the drift of McKinley's poll
cy.
The government and even the lead
ers of the opposition deem 1t unadvis-
able to risk being without a parliament
in case complications arise in its re-
lations with the United States.
Should the attitude of the American
Congress and president be reassuring
Premier Sagasta will dissolve the Cor
ties in December and appoint the cleo
ton for February, thus bringing the
meeting of the new Cortes early in
March.

easier from the houses, in which, like
all Spanish governments, he is sure to
get double majorities, his intention is
to have the elections take place the
same time in Spain and the West IN
dies, even the state Of Cuba in Febru-
airy, which obliges him to adopt excep-
tional measures to carry out all the
polls the policy Captain General Blan-
co and Colonel Secretary Moret are al
reading concerning.
Gen. Blanco and Spanish diplomacy
have again laid much stress on the ex-
pediency of not postponing the publica-
ticn of the whole of information, at the
latest, before the end of November.
Gen. Blanco has found the military
situation in such a condition that with
all the vigor he is displaying in reor-
ganizing his forces, he does not believe
it possible to begin extensive opera
tions in the eastern provinces for some
weeks. So far he has not applied for
reinforcements, but for surplus and
money only.
1t is said that the Spanish govern
ment will provide the State department
at Washington with the text of the CO.
lonial reforms and full details of their
working with all the data required to
give President Mckinley an insight in
to the new policy before declaring his
message.

length and express the hope that the
Turkish government, recognizing it's
mistake will give Austria the satisfac-
ton she demands. Austria, in addi-
ton to the demands mentioned will in
sist upon the Porte furnishing her with
definite assurances respecting other
matters, notably complaints made by
officials of the Austrian company OPP
Grating between the Oriental railroads
which have frequently been brought to
the attention of the Turkish govern
ment. In this connection it is an
nounced here this morning that in ad-
dition to dispatching the cruiser
Franz Joseph and the coast defense
ship Wien and other vessels of the
Austrian squadron in Cretan waters
to Adana with instructions to obtain
satisfaction for the conduct complain
ed of upon the part of the Turkish Off
Gals, the Austrian ships will at noon
tomorrow stop all traffic on Oriental
railroads, and it is semi officially an
nounced will have recourse TO other
important political reprisals. An Aus
trian dispatch boat at Constantinople
with representatives of the Austrian
embassy on board, will accompany the
Austrian squadron to Mersina.

AuSTiQ Mems Business.
Is After Turkey With 4 Red Hot
Poker.
If An Indemnity Is Not Paid By
Tomorrow Noon The Austrian
WarShipS vii Open Fire,

Vienna, Nov. 1.-THE Turkish gov
eminent not having yielded to the de-
mands of the government of Austria
for redress on account of indignities Of
fered an Austrian merchant of Mersi-
ma, the Austrian arnbassF lor at Con-
stantinople, Baron de Caiicc, viii leave
the Turkish capital and an Austrian
warship will lombard the port of Mer-
sina, Asia Minor" tomorrow, if the
demands of Austria are not complied
with by noon Thursday ..
Austria demands that the Turkish
government order a salute to the Aus
trian flag; that the Valif of Adana, in
which district Mersina is situated bedis-
missed from his post and that the To-
cal governor of Mersina be removed.
Il is announced that on Tuesday the
Porte had agreed to the demands of
Austria but this turned out too prem
allure and the sultan, buoyefup by the
easy victory of the Turkish troops
over those of Greece during the recent
war, will not, it is believed, yield I'M
til the last moment. Brazzafeln, who
was the agent at Mersina for the Aus
tria Lloyd Steamship company, was
expelled from Mersina last month be-
cause he was suspected, rightly or
wrongly, by the Turkish authorities,
Of having intrigued against the govern
ment of the Sultan. He appealed to
the Austrian government, and the lat
ter made representations on the sub
ject to the Porte and eventually Braz-
zafelli was allowed to return to Mer-
sina, but when the Austrian merchant
attempted to land, the local minor Off
Gals with the knowledge of the Vail
Of Adana and Mutossariff of Mersina,
it is claimed, allowed Brazzafelli to be |
SO grossly maltreated that he was COM
PEELED to appeal to the Austrian consul |
or protection. The latter promptly in |
in behalf of his countryman
md was himself repeatedly insulted.
This action upon the part of the auth
'rities and others of Mersina was soon
brought to the attention of the Aus
rian government and caused the latter
o insist upon redress. In reply to
trong note of the Austrian government
an explanation of the out
ages it developed that Brazzafelli had
incurred the suspicion of the Turkish
authorities by befriending fugitive Ar
lenians and giving the most deserving
heap passage from Mersina or board
essels of the Austrian Lloyd Steam
hip company. The newspapers of vi
ma today discuss the incident at

NO FOOTBALL AT BUTTE.

Leadville, Col, Nov. 17.-Somewhat
OF sensation has been created in
football circles owing to the receipt Of
a telegram from Butte, Mont, in re-
gard to the fotball match to have been
played there on Saturday. Arrange
ments had been completed between a
team of Colorado players and the
Buttes, but a telegram from the man
ager of the Buttes stated that the
game must be called off, owing to the
objection of the Butte Miners union
to some Colorado players who are IAN
tagonistic to the union" The players
objected to are members in the Ma
tfonal Guard and the action of
the Colorado manager is sup
posed to be on account Of the state mi
litia being stationed at Butte.

RISKING LIFE FOR GOLD.
New England Party Among Hostile
Indians.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. IA party of
sturdy New Englanders, most of whom
hail from Boston, are here, Quitting
for a most hazardous trip over the
glacial fields and snow covered noun
tains of Alaska. They are captained
by Herbert Haines, a newspaper man
of Salem They are bound for Sec
ond colorado located in the upper Cop
per river country in Alaska. IN pre-
paration Of possible encounter with a
hostile tribe of Indians living in the
region they will go well armed.
Several weeks ago a miner returned
from the Copper river region where he
had spent the past half dozen years.
He landed from one of the steam
schooners plying between Alaska and
San Francisco at the latter place. He
had more than $4,000 in gold dust.
This man is friend of Haines and to
him communicated the location of some
very rich gold producing ground in AL
aska, not far from the head waters of
Copper river. Haines Immediately
set out about forming a party and
they are to leave November 20 on the
steamer Thrasher.
The Copper river Indians have for
years brought down gold to the trad
ing stores at the mouth of the river.
They will not tell where they get it and
oppose anything like exploration of the
country. They carry this policy to
the point of armed hostility.

10.
Relations between Italy and Brazil
are daily becoming more complicated,
the legation insists upon the degrade
non OF the officials of Espiritus Santo,
who are accused of convivance in the
recent italian outrages. The govern
ment has SO far evaded reply to this
demand.

Football News.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, Nov. 17.-"Oh,
l knew he could do it,"
1t was Jessie Lincoln Beckwith
whose exclamation of delight caught
the attention of the big crowd out to
witness the football game between the
Iowa Wesleyan and the Keokuk Medi-
Gals. For Warren Wallace Beckwith
had just made a forty yard dash
around the big Medicos and scored the
first touchdown for the Wesleyans
Beckwith was playing the game of his
life and, inspired by the presence of
his young bride, put up a game Of foot
ball that has never been equalled in
this city,
Whittier the rest of the team was in
spired by the same fair presence is
not known, but the big fellows from
Keokuk flushed with recent victories
and averaging about twenty pounds
per man heavier than Iowa Wesleyan,
went down to defeat.
At the end of the game the score
stood AS to in favor of Iowa and over
Beckwith. There was big crowd of
enthusiastic spectators, but none more
so than the daughter of ex-Secretary
of War Robert Il. Lincoln. During
the first part of the game she watched
the struggle from a carriage, but as
the excitement grew more intense she
left the carriage and with several girl
friends followed along the SIDE lines of
tIn ctr
Beckwith was temporarily disabled
she pushed her way in to see how badly
hurt he was and during the entire
game she never yost sight of him.
The heavy line of the visitors prov
ed to be somewhat of an obstruction
to the home players, most of the play
ing devolving upon the half backs,
Beckwith and Hustin. Beckwith was
given all the work he wanted. His
playing was most brilliant and effect
i've.
At the end of the game he was lift
ed to the shoulders of the bowling mob
of enthusiasts and carried off the field.
The day had been a quiet one for the
Beckwfths. At noon they lunched
with Senator Harlan, the grandfather
of the bride. Young Beckwith had
declined to play but it is said that at
lunch the senator requested Beckwith
to play.
The senator was formerly president
of the college and takes great salts
faction in the work of the football
team. 1t is stated that when he learn
ed that on account of the comparative
light weight of the home team the alb
sence of Beckwith would imperil the
success of the home team, he requested
his new grandsOn-in-law to lay aside
his dignity and battle once more for
the glory of Iowa Wesleyan. Beck
with consented and played his star
game. Mrs. Beckwith rode out to the
field in the family carriage and was
accompanied by her mother-in-law.

THE CUBAN CORRESPONDENCE

New York, Nov. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
1t is said to be the present intention
of President Mckinley to incorporate
the recent Spanish correspondence in
his annual message to Congress. He
does not deem it compatible for the
public interest to publish the full text
of the notes pending further CORES
pondence Withheld for the present for
political reasons. The new ministry
fears that its concilliatOry attitude to-
ward the United States, as shown by
its note, may cause embarrassment at
home. and thereby make it impossible
to carry out the proposed reforms. On
the other hand there is the fear that
lingo members of Congress who have
been expecting so much at the hands
of Mckinley may not be satisfied with
all that Spain has promised, and that
another outbreak in Congress will tend
to aggregate the situation in Spain.
The presidents chief desire now is to
stave off action of any kind by Con-
gress until it can be definitely known
whether Spain's new plan is to succeed
Of fail.
