WILLIAMS IN HAvERHILL.


Haverhill, Mass. Oct. 26.-Thomas
Saunders presided at the Democratic
rally Monday night. and members of the
Democratic city committee occupied
seats on the platform. Mr.. O'Keefe was
the first speaker and prefaced his re-
marks by stating that Haverhili was
the first city last year that supported
Mr.. Williams action at Chicago. THE
party" he said, will stand by the plat
form adopted at Chicago. as II stands
more than any other for the rights OF the
common people. AT no time in Its his
tory has the Democratic party been so
free from corporate influence as IL is to-
day. No agent OF any corporation. be he
William c. Whitney or any other man,
can dictate 10 II. Ii was early in the
eighties that the late Governor Butler
attempted TO rescue the party from the
power OF corporations" This reference
TO Governor Butler called forth a storm
OF applause.
Mr.. OKeefe spoke on the injunction
question, and said that men are now
forbidden from walking in front of
factory where a strike is in progress by
an edict of the supreme judicial court.
Mr.. Williams followed with one of his
characteristic speeches. He said: mo
more insane. empty or meaningless plat
form was ever produced than that which
came from the Republican convention of
1897. There is not a living issue i'm IL
that Is worth considering. and with such
a platform of air / am not surprised that
the Republican speakers have all retired
fearing to stand upon il lest they should
have fall. The distinguished junior
senator from Massachusetts has made an
apology to the shoemakers Of New Eng
land for what he acknowledges to be a
sacrihce OF their interests. The governor
rose TO make two statements first, that
the Republican party had gone too far

How the United States Has Served the
Interests of the Spanish.

Washington, Oct. 26.-It is not doubted
among officials that the basis of the
Spanish reply to Mr.. Woodfords note
viii be the charge that the United States
has not observed the requirements of
international law in the matter of pre-
venting filibustering. In this case the
state department Will have pertinent
facts to present which, its officials be-
lieve, will completely ALLEVIATE from
Spain any sympathy that she may have
attracted from other European nations
on that score.
IL is asserted that in no single case
where the Spanish authorities have
brought to the attention of our gov
ernment the fact that an illegal ex-
pedition was about 10 start from our
shores for Cuba has IL neglected to use
all the means permitted by our laws to
prevent the start. 1t has been so
indulgent in this respect as to accept
statements from the Spanish officials
not accompanied by proofs Of the facts
alleged, but mere suggestions that they
had reason to believe that an expedition
was forming. In cases our government
has proceeded to lengths in restraint OF
American commerce on insufficient evil
dence furnished by the Spanish gov
ernment that has resulted i'm the prefer
ence of large claims by American ship
owners for illegal detention of their
ships.
Then the expense of maintaining the
patrols along the Atlantic and gulf
coasts has been very heavy. Every
time the state department has been
obliged to call upon collector at port
the result has been heavy bill of ex-
penses for tugs, special officers and other
charges, while the attorney generals
office and most of the executive de-
partments have been put to more or
less trouble and expense. The navy
department especially has been en-
barrassed owing to the necessity for
diverting vessels from other places for
the disagreeable Florida patrol. One
official roughly estimated the expense
the United States has been put TO to
protect the Cuban coast for Spain at
about s2,000.000. This IL probably a
large estimate. but naval officer who
is thoroughly cognizant OF the strain
put upon the department by the patrol
stated that IL would really be cheaper
for the United States TO send a fleet TO
Cuba and blockade the coast there
against incoming filibusters than to try
to stop them on our own extensive coast
line.
Altogether the officials here are con-
hdent of their ability to show that the
government has more than complied
with the requirements of international
law. which, as laid down in the Alabama
arbitration, simply demand that a ma
tion use due diligence" to prevent the
departure of hostile expeditions. on
this phase 81 the case the correspondence
may be kept alive between the state de-
partment and the Spanish government
until congress meets. but IL is expected
that unless some results in the direc-
tion of the suggestions of Mr.. Wood
ford are forthcoming by that time. the
president will refer the entire matter
TO congress and await Its orders.

Synopsis Of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. l.. A. Toboldt, of the
University Of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for five centuries, is certainly
we'll worthy of careful study.
My experience with this reme-
dialagent has been such that ]
may truly say that no remedy
which ever employed has given
me SO much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
baffled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
only a limited amount of exercise
was indulged in, ! obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be-
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
DR.. Toboldt's lecture, with
table of cases treated. will be

plication to the agents of the
