At the afternoon meeting the con-
stitution of the social democracy,
which had been published, was form
ally ratified and adopted. Mr.. Debs
explained at length the aims and pur-
wealth. A colony should be sent to
Washington, from which place he said
an official invitation had been received.
After establishing the colony he would
secure control of the politics of the
state and start the cooperative COM
monwealth. THE first thing we would
do after getting control he said,
would be to call special session of
the legislature. Then we would call a
convention to revise the constitution
and get all the rot out of it. We will
have control of the taxing power and
run tax syndicates and land sharks out

WILL CUBA BE BOUGHT?
Story Current That the Gigantic Suga
Trust Wants the Island.


Trust Wants the Island.
WASHINGTON, June %. "A story is
current that the sugar trust has evolved
or accepted an ambitious suggestion
that Cuba is substantially for sale. and
might as we'll become sugar planta-
ton for a gigantic corporation. sup
ported by the sympathy and the inter
est of our country. In other words
that we might have West India
company, as England had an
East India company and a Hud-
son Bay company, each of which
aided vastly in the extension of
the British empire. 1t is said that the
Spanish minister to the United States
cabled recently to Madrid reports of
the disposition of our government to
decline to interfere by force and also
to support Cuban autonomy, and that
this cable prevented the recall
of Weyler when a change in the
Spanish ministry was in the air to
send to Cuba Campos, who closed the
ten years war with cash in hand, and
might do the same job now by the
same means. much cheaper than Spain
can keep 100000 soldiers in the field.
Col. John j. McCool1 is the man credit
ed with the imagination to conceive
the capture of Cuba with cash as a
means of peace. This, as Col. McCool1
understands it, is merely matter of
business.
The advantage to the Spaniards
would be peace and the extinction of
some hundred millions of hopeless
debt, for the creditors of Spain would
be glad to scale her obligations, and
she would have large sum of money
in hand, instead of Cuba of blood
and ashes on her hands. The gain to
Cuba would be government by cor
poration, limited, instead of crown
absolute, and there could be a
contract guaranteeing civil liberty to
the people on United States models.

almost fatal accident yesterday. She

spider, but not until it had bit

poison from the bites soon spread
through her system and her condition
became alarming. Her flesh pulled up
in rolls and ridges, her ears swelled so
tightly that the blood oozed through
the skin, while her tongue swelled till
she almost suffocated. Physicians
worked for several hours administer
ing all antidotes known, and finally
pulled her through, and she is now
