Advance car No. 2 of the Wards Great
London Shows arrived in town Friday,
June "a, and early Saturday morning the
town and surrounding country was ablaze
with bright -hued pictures announcing the
forthcoming of the worlds greatest one
ring snow, museum and trained animal
exhibition. For p years Wards London
shows have enjoyed prosperous tour of
the West and South and this season Mr..
Ward is reaching out for new fields to con-
quer, and Judging by the excellent notices
given by the press of the va rious cities in
New England thus far visited, the Ward
shows must be of more than ordinary ex-
cellence.
Speaking of the performances given in
Boston the Bweek of May 10th the Herald
of that city says: fsNot only were we sur
prlsed at the clean per formance given by
the Wards London show, bnt it was a
treat to return to bOyhood circus days
and look once more upon the one sawdust
ring and the genuine young clowns. AS
for lthe performance we could wish for
nothing better. 1t has been our pleasure
to watch the performance of many trained
horses, but never before have we seen the
equal Of Prof Van Vrankin's educated
horse, Forrest" dumb as the animal Gre
alton may seem, this noble animal does
every thing but speak. The LaMoths gave
clever exhibition on the flying trapeze,
Bros. ground sand lofty tumblers and
Mons Beauvis, the sensationism one-arm
acrobat, were other features, in fact the
entire performance of Is acts were all feat
ures."
Wards London shows will give two ex-
in Barton, Friday, July 2. See
advertisement for further information.

Official notice is said to have been
received at Wash ington that Spain is
about to put in operation her promis-
ed reforms in Cuba and that the is
land is to have local self government
similar to that of Canada. This
would be interesting, if true, but like
all Spanish pro misses, may be accept
ed with many grains of allowance.
Weyler still remains in command in
the island pursuing his policy of de-
vastation and murder, and any re-
form with which he is identified will
not be likely to inspire confidence
in either Cuba or the United States.
What effect real autonomy like that
possessed by Canada, would have
upon the Cubans, if offered by a new
Spanish ministry, which now pro-
poses reforms after so long absolu te-
ly refusing them, is the same ministry
that has assumed the responsibility
for Weyler IS bloody career in the is
land. 1t is detested and distrusted by
the Cnbans and it's offer now of peace
with reform comes at a late day, too
late to be favorably considered.

The opposition of the little group
'of Cleveland senators, aided by one
'or two silver malcontents, like Petit
grew of South Dakota, may prevent
the ratification of the Hawaiian an
Inexation treaty at the present extra
ordinary session of congress, but its
ultimate fate is not doubtful. By his
message recommending the adop-
tion of the treaty, President McKin-
hey has made it an administration
measure, and as such it will receive
organized republican support, while
the opposition to it is highly frag-
mentary. There will be no objection
Ito a full discussion of its provisions,
but any attempt at wilful fllibustering
on the part of its senatorial oppo-
nents will rouse public feeling in its
favor to an extent that will compel
Its early passage. Public opinion is
stronger than senatorial tradition in
a matter cf such grave public i'm
portance as the annexation of
Hawaii. and Senator White, who an
nounces that be is prepared to fight
all summer to prevent the passage of
the treaty, will speedily find that
dog in the -manger position cannot
be occupied without serious loss of
eelf respect.

GENERAL WOODFORD'S MISSION.

General Woodford, who has been
selected by President Mckinley to re-
present the United States in Spain,
has a more delicate mission by far
than any diplomat who ever repres-
ent the United States in Spain, has a
more delicate mission by far than any
diplomat who ever represented this
government there. Although it is
not known just what course the pres
ident will take in regard to Cuba it is
generally understood that he will de-
mand indemnity for the Ruiz murder
and will also call upon the Spanish
government to disavow all RESPONSE
bility in the affairs. Tt is thought
that the president will go still further
and ask Spain to withdraw her troops
and allow the people of the island to
govern themselves or else to give
them their independence. The Span
ish minister has taken pains several
times to let this government know
that Spain will never relinquish the
island because of foreign interfer-
ence, but it is thought by many that
this is only bluff and that the gov
ernment Of Spain would, although
making show of resistance, really
welcome interference by this coun
try. Whatever course the president
may take, if it is at all aggressive, it
must make General Woodford's mis-
sion a hard one. He will probably
be obliged to make it known, to
Spain, in a manner the least liable to
cause break between the two ma
tions, that this government cannot
allow things to go in Cuba as they
have been going for the past year.
While he will have to be friendly with
the Spanish officials he must, never
theless, be firm and show them that
this government is in earnest. It will
be hard for Spain to acknowledge de-
feat as their people are a proud race
but they cannot do otherwise and
they should accept it with the best
possible grace.

A Havana dispatch reports that
Zen. Weyler has won praise from Gu
bans and Spaniards by committing
he death sentence of a young Gu
ban, IA years old, who was caught
lighting under an insurgent chief, to
ife imprisonment. Those who know
something of the dungeons in which
6panish political prisoners are con-
lined may regard the mercy extend
ed by Weyler to the youthful patriot
hs of rather doubtful quality. But the
rarity of his pardons entities the
spanish commander to credit for fore
going even once the pleasure of
shooting an enemy, and Americans
can join Cubans in placing one
good mark to his account, which is so
1readfully overbalanced on the
side.

followed little informal camp fire
talk by Mathews, Williams, Marnock.
Nixon and David Morse and others
The regular camp-f fire in the evening
was cut short because of the anxiety
of the president and others, (among
home on Wednesday night, but we
have no doubt a supplementary meet
ing was held, as there was plenty of
prepared powder left, with the fuse
all ready to be touched off. The
camp fire was opened by piece
