CABINET Meeting.
Union Pacific Road, Cuban and Ha.
waffan Affairs Discussed.

WASHINGTON Oct. 1.-The first meet
ing of the Cabinet since the return of the
President from Massachusetts was held to-
day. and was attended by every member
save Secretary Gage, who is not in Wash
ingtOn. The meeting lasted longer than US
ual, in explanation of which fact 1T was
said that several of the Cabinet members
were present for the first time in many
weeks and naturally they sought the oppor-
tunity to inform themselves fully upon the
condition of affairs upon their return. For
eign affairs occupied the greater portion
of the time given up to discussion, though
the prosecution of the governments case
against the Union Pacific Railroad also
came in for a good deal of consideration.
Indeed, it is said that the only action of the
Cabinet to-day was in the direction Of clos
ing up this issue and it can be stated that
the details of the plans. of the government
have been arranged at last.
The Spanish Cabinet crisis attracted much
attention and was discussed at some length.
For some reason Minister Woodford has
still left his government officially unadvlSed
of the recent happenings in Madrid, and
nothing has been heard from him since his
Interview with the Duke of Tetuan, the
Spanish minister for foreign affairs in the
last Cabinet. This fact compelled a reliance
on the newspaper reports of the recent inn
portant events in Spain. 1t may be said
that there seems to be a general belief
among the members of the Presidents oft1-
cial family that the Madrid crisis, II not
making for our good, cannot be expected
to injure our relations with Spain. This
belief is based on the idea that if Conser-
vative Cabinet succeeds to the Azcarraga
Ministry the worst that can happen will be
a continuance of the present line of policy,
for Spain is too near an end of her financial
resources to put forth more strenuous eff
forts to subdue the Cubans On the other
hand, it is believed that Liberal Ministry
will almost certainly offer good opportuni-
ties for bringing the present war to an end.
The conditions in Hawaii, as revealed by
Admiral Beardslee, were talked of, and with
evident satisfaction the Cabinet received
tho admirals statement that in all Of his
stay in Hawaiian waters his relations with
the Japanese officials, shore and on the
cruiser Naniwa, were of the most pleasant
nature. In no case had there been the
slightest exhibition of a purpose on the part
of the Japanese commander to attempt any
coup, and there were constant exchanges
Of visits between the officers of the Naniwa

DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
Controller Tracewell Says Secretary
Wilson Has No Discretion.

WASHINGTON Oct 1.-The Agricultural
Department has been compelled to forego
hs decision to distribute this years seed
from Washington because of a decision by
Controller Tracewell. of the treasury, that
such distribution would be a violation of
the law by which the appropriation was
made. This decision was rendered to-day
in response to a letter from Secretary Will
son. In his reply Mr.. Tracewell says that
the appropriation for last year was in the
same language as that for the present fiscal
year. excepting as to the amount appro-
priated, and he calls attention to the fact
that Attorney General Harmon rendered a
decision to the effect that the appropriation
Of last year authorized the secretary OF ag-
riculture to purchase the seeds already put
up in packages and labeled for distribution.
Mr.. TraceNell holds, in view of this deci-
sion. that. while the secretary can deter
mine the form in which the contractors
shall deliver the seeds, he cannot purchase
the seeds and employ persons 10 put them
work. 1t must not be forgotten" he adds,
that Congress has used the very plainest
language in providing $4,000 for the pur-
chase and distribution OF seeds bulbs, etc.
and has attached to the appro priation the
specific requirement that not less than S1l0-
600 shall be used in the purchase of valuable
seeds. Congress- thus fixed q minimum
amount and did not intend that a discre-
ton Should be exercised by the secretary Of
agriculture. The whole act is mandatory
in form, and the use OF ene-half OF this
sum in payment for personal services in
distributing seeds would not be a compli-
ance with the specific order of Congress-"

troller adds. Ordinarily has some discre-
ton in the use or appropriations for his

The Note fn Snnin.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA Washington
special to the Times Herald says: 1t is now
possible for the Times-H Herald to give not
the exact text of the famous Woodford
note to Spain, but fair statement of it's
substance. This now celebrated and much
discussed document simply expresses. on
the part of the United States, the hope
that the war will be brought to close as
speedily as possible, but there is no date
fixed when the contamination is to be
reached, and that the interests of Spain no
less than the interests of the United States,
the interests of humanity and the interests
of the world at large are reasons why the
war should be ended with the least possible
delay. And with that in view, acting as a
friend of Spain, because of the great stake
which the United States has in Cuba finan-
cially and otherwise. because of the annoy
ance to which the United States has been
put by maintaining a patrol over and pre-
venting the sailing of filibustering expedi-
tons, and because civilization opposes war,
offices to act as a friend between the mother
country and her rebellious colony in the
hope that she may be able to effect a settle
ment and bring the warfare to a close. This
is all there is in the note. There is not
the faintest suggestion of this government
forcing upon Spain her good offices, IL she
does not care to voluntarily to accept them,
nor is there an intimation that the war
must be brought to an end by certain
time that Spain must return answer to
his note by a fixed date.

by increased activity in wool, hides iron
and steel and their manufactured products,
but business in the quarantined districts re-
mains at a standstill, and at all except q few
Northwestern distributing centers in spring
wheat States, where business is relatively
more active, there is check to the demand
for dry goods, hats and clothing. Favor
able reports come from region extendingV
from Knoxville to ST. Paul and from Omaha
to Milwaukee. The tendency is to increase
estimates of the wheat crops and increase
the probable yield of cotton.
The price movement shows a long list OF
unchanged quotations this week, including
various iron and steel staples, wool, hides,
print cloths, lumber nails copper pork,
beef, coffee and sugar. Increases are con-
fined to a nominal advance for anthracite
coal, 25 cents for Besseiner pig iron, frac-
tional gains for leaf tobacco, naval stores,
butter, lard and another advance for wooden
goods Potatoes have reacted from the ex-
tremely high prices at the West and cotton
is off further. Lead is lower, are corn,
oats and flour, in sympathy with wheat,
which dropped cents on Bradstreet's RI
ported increase of nearly 10,000,OO0 bushels
in the worlds visible stocks.
Wheat (aour included as wheat> exports

The total number of business failures in
the United States for nine months reported
by Bradstreets is 1888, a decrease Of 13 per
