Conflicting Reports from Washington Re
gaTding the Consul General 60 Caba.
WAsHNeToE, Sept 2. No official in
formation can be obtained regarding
the return Of Consui-GeneFal Lee, but
it is understood that he has been grant
ed a leave of absence BY the state de-
partment. with permission to return
10 this country. The business OF the
consulate Will be in charge Of the vice
oonsul-general during his absence.
While state department officials are
unususlly retieent regarding the re-
turn Of Gen. Lee, there seems to be
little doubt that he will not return to
Havana, and that his successor will
soon be selected.
Ez-CongFessman J. Frank Aldrich,
Of Illinois, was decided upon for this
place some months ago. The proba-
bility of an early change in the He-
vsna consulate is taken TO mean ID con-
fdence on the part of the administra-
ton that hostiHties on the island are
soon to close.
a Contradictory Report.
WASHINGTON, Sept. assistant Sec
rotary Day, of the state department,
was asked whether or not it was true,
as reported, that Consul-GeneraI Lee,
now on his way to the Uni ted States,
would not return to Havana when his
vacation is over, Judge Day replied
that the regular 80 days annual leave
had been granted to Gen. Lee and that
so far as he was aware, there was no
reason to suppose the general would
not return to Havana when the 80 days
had expired.

conclusions Of the result of the vote on
the thirteen judges in the last election,
iEjects n few telling facts along with
some interesting figures. That paper
declares that las Bryan's majority in
Kansas last year was $4,000 and the
Republican majority this year IS 10000
in round numbers. therefore the Repub-
lican vote has increased $4,000 over last
year. This majority is SO distributed
over the state that it gives the Suprem-
acy to the Republican party in every
congressional district.
In ~ out of 105 counties the Republi-
cans have elected q majority of the Of
ficerS. They have elected 407 county
officers, where the Populists have 217
and the Democrats six This is n gain
of nine Offices over two years ago. But
two years ago the Democrats and Pop
ulisis ran separate tickets. This year
they fused in almost every county.
More county officers have been elected
this year against fusion than in 1885
against a divided opposition.

A GRAND TRIUMH.

When the War OF the Rebellion was
precipitated upon the country one-half
of the United States had no railway
connection with the other. There was
no railroads west of the Missouri river.
The Pacific states and territories were
further away than Europe, and TO such
an extent were their interests lsolaIeu
that the fear arose that the Pacinc sell
Elements might be induced TO follow lhe
example of the South, or. in the event
of the success of the Southern cause
the Pacific country might conclude 10
do the same thing in some unsa1stac-
tory emergency. The Republican parry
was in power. full of patriotism and OF
nrooressiye ideas. One of its first re-
solves after providing for carrying on
the war was the construction OF a rail-
road or railroads to the PACING. Inc
more conservative of the older parueS
declared the enterprise TO be but Ia
natical dream. by a large minority II
was thought al impOssibility to bulld
railroad through Thousand miles Oh
mountains in which but few years De
fore Fremont wandered and suffered
for months. But the Republican lead
ers were resolved. There was but one
way to do 1t, and that was to induce us
construction by subsidies. The govern
ment started in with large land grant,
of lands worth nothing unless Inc rail-
ways were built. and ali additional loan
of credit of millions of dollars. After
thirty-odd years tie whole business Is
being wound up and wound up by the
Republican party. The roads were bullt
and have been in operation quarter OF
a century or more. Not only were the
Pacific states and territories firmly
hound to the rest of the country but
every division Of the plains and OF the
Rocky Mountains have been settled ana
developed. Railways now penetrate
every section of the mountains and mill
ions of acres Of agricultural lands and
other millions of mining and timber
lands are being utilized and rendered
valuable On the 10Th Of next month
the final transaction will be had in the
sale of the Kansas Pacific, whereby the
government viii get back the money 1t
originally guaranteed The Democratic
papers of the country are emitting their
regulation walls. But that is but nat
ural and to he expected. History new
ertheless VIII accord the credit the many
proud and magnificent results of the en-
terprise to Republican craftsmanship.
The fact stands that vast waste places
and almost impenetrable mountain fast
nesses have been rendered habitable

lem he affirmed that which he could
not know. Moreover, he conradlcOed
his assertion in another part of his arti-
Gle by the statement that the reform bill
submitted to the cortes in 1893 Dy
Senior Maura, then minister for the col
onies. embodied 1.-The first and really the
only honest effort ever made in Spain
to give Cuba anything like genuine
system of self-government" The mo-
ment when Spanish craftsmanship had
reverted to the policy of the Maura bill
was certainly iIl-choeen for the sound
ing of a Jingoistic bugle blast by our
la te minister 10 Spain; and under the cir
cumstances Mr.. Taylors profession Of
admiration for the Spanish people,
among whom he had recently lived,
smacks of cant and humbug.
If Mr.. Taylor thinks 1t fitting to go on
speaking of what came to his knoWl-
edge through his official position, no
power on earth can stop him so long as
the newspapers are agape for his views.
All that Mr. Mckinley needs to say to
Spain is that this is a free country, and
that he has no more control over Mr..
Hannis Taylor, now that this gentle
man is out of Office, than he has over
the Ohio election. He might add, how
ever, an appeal to the forbearance o.
Spain on the ground that she knows
how il is herself.
