SPAIN MAY SUFFER NO CHANGE
THE QUEEN REGENT TRIES TO
SAVE THE CONSERVATIVES.

Marshal CampOs May BE Called to
the Head of Affairs to Form New
Conservative Cabinet and Thus
Postpone the Crisis "A Little Lon
ger-SenOr SIIveIa Believes That
Patriotism VIII Prompt the Cham
bers to support the Government.
Madrid, Oct. Marshal Martinez Cam
pos was in conference with the queen re-
gent to-day for an hour and half He
expressed the opinion that a change Of
policy was possible with the present
chamber, if the majority supported the
new cabinets economic measures and at
titude toward the colonies. Afterward
the queen regent received Senior Sagasta
and Senor Pidal, president of the Cham
Der of Deputies Tomorrow she will
make her decision
Her majesty to-day expressed a desire
to retain, if possible the present cham
bers, believing that a general election
would have disturbing effect. For this,
however, a conservative cabinet would be
necessary. None of the liberals are in
cined to accept Office, as they would only
find themselves at the mercy of the con-
servative chambers.
Gen. Campos has been endeavoring to
effect arrangements whereby the cham
bers might be retained in case the lib
erals were to take office, but so far he
has been unsuccessful.
During a conference of the leaders of
the dessident conservatives with the queen
regent, Senior Silvela declared that in
view of the difficulties in the way of dis
solution, it would be best to retain the
conservatives in office under the leader
ship of Campos; and he said that on the
assumption that the cabinet would receive
the support of all element A majority
of his own section would give it enthusi-
astic support.

known Capt Carter ever since he enter
ed the service, and ne Is morally and pro-
fessionally one of the cleanest officers in
the army.

BEARDSLEE HAS A BUDGET.
II Relates 10 Hawaiian Annexation.
VIII Unfold IL to the President.


Washington, Oct. 1.-Admiral Beardslee.
who has been in command Of the Pacihc
station for three years past, returned to
Washington to-day and~called upon Sec
retaries Long and Sherman. With the lat-
ter he went to the white house and called
upon President Mckinley.
The admiral, in a short while, will make
an informal report to Secretary Long, Civ
ing his views and opinions of the Hawaiian
situation and such information as he has
gained during his long stay at the islands.
The administration Is anxious TO have a
general review of the condition of the is
lands from such an experienced and intel-
ligent source as Admiral Beardslee
Speaking of the reported opposition to
annexation, the admiral said to-day thar
Il amounts to little. The substantial bus
mess interests of the island, with few ex-
ceptions, he said, favor annexation. These
exceptions may be able to work upon some
opposition among the natives, but nothing
Of any consequence, in his opinion can
come of 1t. The interest Of some persons
in annexation is apathetic, but they ac-
cept it as the best horn Of a dilemma.

of the island, received word to-day that
Col. Baldemoro Acosta, of the insurgent
army, has safely landed in Vera Cruz.
He is seriously wounded. His wife is with
him.
dent, the insurgent colonel was enabled to
escape with the conniVance of Spanish
officers. The correspondent also states
that the recently reported capture of a
hotchkiss gun, lot of war material and
twenty-three Americans, was founded on
these facts: A Spanish gunner, who had
been with the insurgents in Tampa Fla,
turned out to be a spy. He informed the
military of the location of the place where
the Cubans had buried a twelve-pound
Hotchkiss gun, which had been landed in
Pnar del Rio about ten months. 1t had
never been dug up, because in landing it
had been so injured as to be rendered use
less. On the finding of this abandoned
gun was based the official report of the
capture of the valuable war munitions
and the American volunteers.
The correspondent concludes by saying
that the insurgents were never stronger
than they are to-day from the extreme
east to the extreme west.

nations of the cabinet ministers and they
were accepted by King George.
All the newspapers, with the exception

completed a shameful betrayal by plac-

the country.
King George has invited NJ. Zaimis to

How BimetaIIism VIII Come.

was the idea of Mr.. Bryan and all Of
his fellow advocates of independent free

Not Too Much Dining.

The recent opinion of an ex-statesman
that the performance of a social func-
ton in Washington interferes greatly with
the proper conduct of public affairs, is ex-
citing considerable discussion, and it is
regrettabie TO observe that many OF our
contemporaries, more or less esteemed.
are taking this view of the case, that
statesmen, politicians. and others, who
happen to he sojourning at the National
Capital, do little but eat and dance.
We assure our bucolic friends that this
is totally wrong impression. There is
eating here, and dancing also. Many
statesmen and many important politicians
eat large dinners, but the dancing is al
most wholly coafiIed to the ohappies, who
have no work to do, and whose work
consequently cannot be inteTfered with.
The dinner. the reception even, often helps
along some important public matter. You
are entirely excusable, then, if you par
ticipate in it, especially since it is often

There are certain austere persons who

An Object Lesson.

An eccentric but long-headed father, in
the old times, gave a party to which he
invited marriageable young women. In the
middle of the floor lay broonIstick The
young lady who, instead of stepping over
it, picked IL up and set it on end in the
corner was his choice for his son and heir.
So they used to inquire about a girl, in the
old times, whether she was the Kind Of girl
who would step over broomstick.
There is a bIoomstick on Pennsylvania
avenue, and it looks. very much as if the
city of Washington were walking around
il, or over it, or under it, perhaps. Is
there any reason why the debris of the
nisbed so much enjoyment and patriotism
to Washington and the surrounding coun-
try ON March should be allowed to en-
cumber the avenue? Grand stands are not
beautiful in themselves, though they are
useful and profitable They are much less
beautiful, useful and profitable two weeks
dtNer the prime OCCASION OF eueiE USE
fuIness has passed.
1t may he that this is a case OF the
thing which is everybodys business and
therefore nohody's business, but isn't there
somebody who can shed a little light on
this subject? For weeks before the ar
rival OF the incoming President the ave
aue was being prepared for its crowd.
Lumber was stacked on it, and crowds
gathered to watch the preparations and
obstruct the passage OF useful citizens.
All this, however, was DOUBTLESS neces-
sary. 1t takes time, great deal of time,
to build grand stands; not only the time
OF the workmen actually engaged, but
that of the gentlemen who stand around
and boss the job. But after the show
is over and the crowds have departed,
these bare skeletons of defunct glories
make us feel sad. Let them be hustled
out of sight, and Tet.the avenue again be
free and unobstructed, an avenue and not
a lumber yard
Don't step over a broomsticki
