STRUCK WHEELING
The Military whs,lmsn Reached tiis city
La NIrhI.

Last Night.
Last night about . o'clock twelve
students OF the Northwestern Military
Academy. Highland Park, Illinois, ar
rived in Wheeling on their wheels,
They were in charge OF Major r. z.
Davidson. and are making the journey
to Washington. y. previously spoken
OF in the Intelligencer. They left High
land Park. which is twenty-three miles
from Chicago. one week ago Monday,
and expect to reach the capitalcity SAT-
uriay next
They are a fine looking lot OF young
fellows, and their picturesque garD AT
,racted much attention last night. They
stayed In the city long enough TO re-
plenish the inner man, then started on
out the National pike. and cauped over
night at West Alexander. Their traps
Including tents and blankets, are strap
ned on their wheels. They are not at
tempting to make n record, but continue
pace that llsures against possible
exhaustion.
Some OF their experiences along the
road have been very interesting. All
are the picture OF good health, and the
sun has given them the appearance OF
bronzed veterans.

Certain Reforms Incorporated in
New York Charter.
According to the New York papers
certain of the amendments which have
been proposed by Senator Raines to
the present election laws along the line
of reforms, have slipped into the char
ter for the Greater New York. The
amendments failed to secure the sigma
ture of Governor Black, and were con-
sequently supposed to have been de-
feated. It seems that the trainers OF
the new charter were equal to the oc-
casion. After January 1, 1898, by vir-
tue of a section of the Greater New
York law, the clerks of the Common
Councils of Albany, Troy, Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse and New York are
directed to compile and publish in
pamphlet form the list of voters in
each Assembly District. Every regis
tered voters name must appear in the
list, and it is believed that the publica-
ton will do away with a good deal of
fraud. This same provision was in bills
introduced by Senator Raines and AS
sembyman Armstrong, and was sup
posed to have been killed

MIR. CALHOUN IN CUBA.
Gold and silver Much Depre ctate
in Value as Money.

Gold and silver Much Depre ciated
in Value as Money.
The Washington Star says that Mr..
Calhoun learned some interesting
things while he was in Cuba. Weyler's
hope is to depopulate Cuba and make
it desert before the Spanish Govern
ment crumbles inward. Then he trusts
to build it up again, with Spanish col
onization, on an empty and bankrupt
treasury as foundation.
The cost of the war to Spain is not
less than eight million dollars month
in gold Usually it is figured at ten
million dollars month. This expense
cannot lessen while the enormous army
of occupancy is kept in Cuba, in order
to give an appearance of pacification.
AS the devastation spreads supplies
grow dearer, and the cost of maintain
ing the army increases. The cOrrup-
ton, too, seems to grow holder and
more grasping. 1t was singing COM
ment that a Cuban made to me one day
in Havana, in discussing the reports of
pacification and comparing them with
the increased cost to Spain of keeping
up the war. He quoted the Spanish
proverb; the message which the spend
Father, send me more money, for [ am
winning This is a very apt illus
tration of the financial and economic
side of the war. Spain is 'pacifying
Cuba and calling for more money to
keep up the war.
If the revolution succeeds through
the bankruptcy of Spain this will be
due to the seeds which have been sown
in an issue of billites for paper cur
rency. The Cuban currency proper be-
fore the war was made up of gold and
silver. The coins were equivalent to
the dimes, quarters, 50-cent pieces and
dollars of the United States, though
they did not hold the same relative
value. The silver peseta is 20 cents.
The gold coin is known popularity as a
