A Roman Candidate.

The aspirant to public Office, like
other Roman gentlemen of station, has
a few slaves, perhaps so or SO, accord
ing to his wealth. His cubicularius,
otherwise valet, attends upon him and
brings him the robe which is SO artistic
ally whitened that from it he gets his
name of candidate. No tunic or fancy
waistcoat must be worn today, in order
that the candidate may better bare his
breast to display the wounds acquired
in the service of his country. After
duly submitting himself to the hands
of another slave, his barber, and after
partaking Of a slight but dainty break
fast, he is ready to 60 forth. 1t is market
day, and he must show himself to the
people, or he must go to the polling
place. the Campus Martius. or pay a
visit to the forum.
On going abroad he must be accom-
panied not only by his supporters, but
by few Of his personal slaves. They
do not all accompany him upon the coca
sion. His cook, for instance, for whom
his master had to pay more than for
his doctor or even for a learned pro-
fessor, must stay at home in order, with
the other slaves, his satellites, to pre-
pare toothsome morsels for the candi-
date and his guests on their return from
the fatigues Of the days canvass As
becomes the dignity Of the occasion, his
scurra. or buffoon. will not accompany
him; but. ON the other hand, no self re-
specting candidate would wish o show
himself without just few OF his at
tendant slaves. Catholic World.

Madrid, Sept. 27.-The arrival Of Unit

Seba stan has made a sensation. The
programme Of the United States has
been ascertained. This does not contem-
plate a declaration Of war If Spain re-
jects mediation. but according to report.

world of disapproval of the Cuban regime
by suspenjing diplomatic relations with
Spain and Withdrawing the United
States minister" General Wodford has
declined to be interviewed on the subject
further than to say that his conference
with the Duke Of Tetuan, the foreign
minister. was Of the most satisfactory
character. The unexpected bitterness Of
the press and Of public opinion has pain
fully impressed him. but he hopes this
will soon be allayed. as he believes his
mission favorable to Spanish interests,
and cannot comprehend that Spain could
reject mediation designed to end an i'm
poverishing war.

He has not named q time at which the
war must be terminated, but he hopes

United States, and that It is impossible
to prevent the organization Of filibuster-
Ing expeditions. Unusual measures were
taken to protect Minister Woodford on
his journey from San Sebastian to this
city, but the trip was quite uneventful.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family has
not accompanied him. but remains behind
the French frontier. Minister Woodford

Berlin, Sept. 27.-The reported Amer
lean ultimatum to Spain has been re-
ceived with pronounced displeasure by
the entire German press. The official
denial from Washington Is generally
disbelieved here and the denunciation
Of "jingoisrn," Yankees insolence," and
the ridiculing Of the Monroe doctrine
have filled the newspapers. The Con-
servative press. as usual, is the most
violent in denouncing American aspira-
lions. The Kreuz Zeitung, in an edi-
| torial on the Forums article by ex-Sec-
| rotary Herbert Con the Cuban question:,
condemns the policy outlined therein
and concludes: III more sober after
thought does not dam the stream Of
American Chauvinism we Germans

Americans finally reach q sounder 1udg-
ment relative to their power. e., IL
they get drubbing to teach them that

| The correspondent Of the Associated
Press here has made Inquiries at the
German foreign office and in other quar-
| tiers which show that while Spain has
approached Germany through her Ber-
lin ambassador repeatedly during the
past year In regard to this. she has only
been assured OF the moral sympathy Of
Germany in her struggle to queli the
