Marcus Aurelius Hanna has met his
match. Hanna wanted to go to the SEN
ate, but so does Gov. Bushnell, and just
now the governor seems to have the right
of-way. At any rate he has appointed
1t. CIV. Jones as Sherman's successor
and at the end of the unexpired term he
intends to try for the place himself.
This move, it is said, will precip1tate a
bitter fight between the Hanna McKin-
ley and Foraker Bushnell factions and it
is feared that 1t will become a factor in
national politics. Well, it. 1t won't

A North Carolina lawyer makes the
point that any man who will break into

occupants will coolly murder them if
murder is necessary to escape detection.
This, he maintains, is the burglars code

with the fixed purpose of killing rather
than he caught. 1t is on this belief
that the tarheel states penalty for burg
larry is founded, a.peralty that prescribes

The small island of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been ia
nous for its rich tin mines, which are
controlled by the Dutch government. In
describing the geology of Billion be-
fore the Royal Academy of Sciences in

an account of the mysterious "glass
balls of Billion" which are found
among some of the tin ore deposits.
They are round, with grooved surfaces
Similar balls are occasionally found IN
Borneo and Java, as well as in Aus
tralia. Mr.. Verbeek thinks they cannot
be artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volc s,ic bombs. Besides, he
says, the CLASSY rocks produced by the
nearest volcanoes are quite different in
their nature from the material of the

pondent called on Premier Sagasta,
who said, in response to queries:
You ask if the Liberal party would
assent TO mediation by the United
States with view TO fastening the
pacifcation of Cuba and inducing the
rebels in arms and exiles to accept
autonomy. Why should we need me-
diation when our intentions. long and
often expressed by the Liberal party,
aim at realizing all that America could
suggest No spanish party, certainly
not the Liberal, could assent to foreign
interference in our domestic affairs or
with our colonies. No government
could hope to induce a nation to ac-
cept such interference.
IF America, as we firmly believe
and hope, is disposed to be sincerely
friendly with us. let her enforce the
rules of international law and stop the
flow Of moral and material aid, with

with her confidence, and that the Lib

questions of the day in Spain and GER
tainly would grant Cuba autonomy
along the lines traced in the program
of the Cuban autonomists themselves.
| said so in my manifesto in June and
have repeated the same promise during
the government holidays. The Liberal
party is prepared to grant Cuba all
possible government, broad tariff
and every concession compatible with
the inflexible defense of Spanish rule
and sovereignty in the West Indies
We believe this will satisfy the major
ity of the Cubans and we will act thus
spontaneously.
The new Prime Minister spoke with
much warmth and an unusual flow of
words, though the statesman is gener-
ally reserved. 1t is understood that
the Liberal party will take in hand the
vigorous reform of abuses in the ad-
ministration in Spain, in the Philip
pines, and in Cuba especially and ini-
tiate extensive reforms in taxation and
