WEYLER Is UGLY
GENERAL
Says He Always Considered the
United States HypOcrite.

New York, May 25.--A dispatch to the
Journal from Cienfuegos says:
In an interview with Captain General
i Weyler on his arrival here from Places,
in reference to the revolution, the general
said:
Il am not surprised at the action thus
far taken nor shall l be surprised if the
house concurs In the resolution and sends
the bill to the president. Your jngoes
are in the saddle and evidently bent on
forcing the country into some foreign
complications, in order to distract atten-
ton from the fast approaching tnterna-
tional crisis.
The bands of Cuban dynamiters, rail-
road Wreckers. horse and cattle thieves,
plantation burners and highwaymen now
in the field here who hold no port and
possess no seat of civil government, have
no right to expect recognition. Such dis
tinction at President McKinley's hands,
issued in the face of my own statement,
officially declaring the greater part OF
the island to be already pacitied, would
hold the Washington Legislature up to
the ridicule of European powers, and
prompt a healthy outburst of sympathy
with the Spanish cause especially frem
neighboring old world governments.
IF recognition comes. our position will
then be more clearly defined 1t will work
a virtual abrogation of our special treaty
with the United States and place Yam
KEGS residing in Cuba in an identical Pc
sition before the courts with other for
eign residents. And 1 shall be troubled
less by their constant complaints and
their ridiculous demands. l. would also
relieve the Spanish government of all
responsibility for the destruction of for
eign property not actually within the
lines of the Spanish defenses. and simpli-
fy matters by assuring US the right to
board and search American vessels when
ever suspected.
For one 1 shall heartily rejoice that
the emptiness of hypocrisy of the United
States government 5 often reiterated ex-
pressions of friendship shall be finally
unmasked. 1 have always had little conf
dence in the sincerity OF its assertions.

A singular omission in the matter Of
legal formalities is the failure of the
Federal laws to provide for notifying
a President-elect of his election. The
electoral votes are counted, and the re-
suit of the enumeration Is recorded IN
the journals of both Houses of Con
gress; but 1t is left for the President
elect to find out the result in whatever
way he can and to present himself for
Inauguration on the next succeeding
fourth day of March. AS matter of
fact the person elected to the highest
office in the republic gets his notitlca-
ton from the newspapers.

FLORISTS CUT RATES.
Roses and Carnations Given Away by
st. Louis Flower Stores.

St Louis, Oct. 27.-Roses were to be
had for the asking in St. Louis Saturday
and Sunday. Not only cheap roses, but
American Beauties worth Sc a dozen, and
even boxes of assorted cut flowers.
The downtown florists We're engaged in
fierce rivalry and the air was full of
fragrance. Special consignments were
sent for in anticipation of big trade,
and at least 100, 900 roses and carnations
were sold at cut rates or given away.
The Krebs Floral company, COZ Olive
street, started the fun. Mr.. Foster, man
ager of the company said: I'VE are new
corners here and merely wanted to adver-
tise ourselves. Some time ago one of
our competitors made cut and we paid
no attention to it. Saturday we began
special sale of roses and carnations at 20
cents a dozen. 1t was just a special
rate to bring trade, but all these other
fellows went wild and cut our price, and
even gave flowers away. We sold good
roses, the best stock, at % cents, but for
American Beauties we got the regular
price, S. a dozen. We walked up the
trade. We sold 1900 roses and carna-
lions, and all the others did big trade,
for which they can thank US"
Mrs Minnie H. Holmes of the firm of
Conner. Posey & Holmes, 20 South Broad
way. said: I'VE did not start out to cut
prices. We bought out c. E. Mccormick
recently and for an advertisement we
gave flowers away all day Saturday. The
cut started on Olive street, and We pro-
posed both to meet the cut and advertise
ourselves. 1t cost us S. to have a big
sign painted: Roses Given Away. Call
In
They called and we gave away over
5000 roses. We gave away American
Beauties as well cheaper roses, and
carnations, and put up boxes of cut flow
ers for nothing"
Ellison & lessons representative said;
''Krebs started the cut. They came here
to teach us the business, and we went
them one better. They advertised roses at
25 cents a dozen, not more than three
dozen to be sold to one purchaser. We
put them at 20 cents and put in an Amer
lean Beauty with each 81 sale. and no
limit was placed on the number sold to
a purchaser. The war is over now, but
if these people get too gay we may give
them another whirl."

Sketch of Miss Maud Come Who Has
Arrived in America.

New York, Oct. 27.-NIiss Maud Come
'Ireland's Joan of Are was greeted by
a host of friends on her arrival in New
York.
The pictures of her which have been
published, although attractive, have
nevertheless failed to do justice to this
beautiful young Irishwoman. She is
nearly feet 10 inches tall, and her fig
ure, though slight, is well rounded and
perfectly proportioned, giving her state
" appearance. Her movements are easy
and graceful, and in talking she uses a
multitude of fascinating little gestures
Perhaps it is partly this habit, and also
a suggestion of foreign accent about her
English, which makes her appearance de-
cidedly like a Frenchwoman. Her hair,
of rather light brown, is abundant and
wavy; her complexion is clear and bril-
liant, and she has wonderfully expressive
brown eyes.

think" she said. but then I am a poor

BISHOP MILLSPAUGH
Ohciated at the Re-BuriaI of Dr.
Brooks Body

The Milwaukee Sentinel of October
22d publishes long account of the re-
interment of the remains of DR.. James
Lloyd Brock, the great Episcopal mis-
sionary. Dr. Brock was buried in Ben
icia 81 years ago. At the meeting of the
Nashotah Alumni last spring it was de-
cided that the body should be laid to
rest near the grounds of the college
which he helped to start.
The following is part of the account
as published by the Sentinel:
THE memorial services yesterday,
which preceded the re-interment, were
attended by ten bishops and 200 clergy
men. Addresses were made by Bishop
Millspaugh of Kansas and Bishop Tut
tie of Missouri The coffin was borne
from the chapel to the grave by eight
students and was followed by eight
honorary palIbearers and more than 100
robed bishops, ministers and scholas-
tics.
a'Bishop MiTspaugh of Kansas
delivered the sermon. He was
chosen because he was baptized and
confirmed by James Lloyd Brock.
Bishop MillSpaugh is a graduate of
Faribault He alluded pathetically to
this fact in introducing his sermon:
This devoted man of Cod he said
gave himself unreservedly to the work
of missions from his earliest youth. At
ter hearing the missionary appeal of
the sainted Kemper, he kept before him
the idea of an associate mission on the
western border. In his life the saliva
matter. In the midst of rugged expert
ences he was willing for the benefit of
others to relinquish a legacy that fell
to him, rather than turn aside from his
life work. He afterwards received the
legacy and put it in one of these build
ings. DR.. James Lloyd Breck was new
er spoke of as an eloquent preacher,
but he was an effective one. He was a
prophet God enabled him to see into
the future. He thought and toiled for
the future.
4" He fOresaw the work among the
Minnesota Indians now in charge of DR..
GiIfillan who is so much like DR..
Brock in self-deniaI and earnestness. He
fOresaw the schools at Faribault, now
so important Benecia will yet fulfill
his prophecy, and the bishops of north
ern California will know, in Paradise,
at least, that the mission work of DR..
Breck and his successors in California
was not done in vain.
a. The lesson taught by this great pio-
neer missionary since 1841 is that if we
would do successful work we must give
ourselves unreservedly to the Lord.
There are hundreds and thousands Of
men who are now reaping the benefits
of the foundation laid by that apostle
of the wilderness, DR.. James Lloyd
Brock, d. D. There are aged and mid
die aged men in the ministry today who
date their conversion from the teach
ings of DIR. Breck, and his name is cher
ished as that of a great missionary "
The grandsOns of DR.. Brock were
carriers on the Journal several years
ago. One of them became a dentist and
the other followed the footsteps of his
grandfather and became a minister.
