to place collectors on all principal pas

the conductors handled the operation
of the trains. The services of the col
lectors have gradually been dispensed
with since that time, until at the pres
ent time no collectors are running on

Comment.

New York, Dec. S.-A Madrid special
to the World Gays:
The frat news received in Madrid con-
cerning President McKinley's message
came in the shape of telegram to Gem
eral Woodford from the state depart
ment. Mr.. Woodford Immediately sent
1t to the minister for the colonies, Senior
Morel. Minister Morel was at banquet
which his friends had offered him as
compliment for his colonial policy. He
translated the telegram aloud, and all
present expressed much satisfaction
with the presidents declaration touch
ing Spain and Cuba.
The friendliness of the message sur
passed the most sauguine expectations
is loud praise for President Mckinley in
official and political circles for having.
as they say, thus cleared the way for
fair trial of the new colonial policy in
the West Indies which will naturally re-
quire time.
Meanwhile the liberal government
can unhesltatingly dissolve the old cor
tes, call general election for the first
week in February, and convoke a new
parliament on March s.
The Spanish liberals are greatly
pleased with the presidents argument
against recognition of the belIigerency
of the Cubans, and the implicit repudi-
alton of recognition of belligerency, an
nexation of the island or extreme inter-
ference with the rights of Spain in Cuba.
They are equally delighted with that
part of the message recognizing how
quickly and completely they have re-
versed the Canovas-Weyler policy, and
the sincerity of their own home-rule
measures.
Outside of official circles satisfaction
is visible in financial circles, and also
on the part of the general public. Among
statesmen the most pleased is CASTELAR,,
who compares the conduct of Mckinley
with that of Grant, and says that he be-
lieves firmly that all the sane and re-
spectacle elements of the commonwealth
will follow it.
