George remain in the field. His offer

than Low will receive more votes than
Tracy. He offered to bet more money

there had been five fever deaths re-

are among those who have had little

it was said that Charles Frederick Ad-

The Administration Not Disposed to
Hurry Senior Sagasta.


Hurry Senior Sagasta.
WASHINGTON, Oct S.-The cabinet
was in session for an hour and half
today, all members being present eX-
cept Secretary Gage. Foreign affairs
the discussion was devoted mostly to
the forthcoming annual reports of the
several heads of the departments. Post
master General Gary remained with the
president for some time after the other
members of the cabinet, discussing
postofice appointments. There was
some discussion of the Cuban question,
but owing to the fact that this matter
is in transitory condition, no definite
action was decided upon. The president
had hoped to secure a reply to his rep
resentations to Spain during the pres
ent month, but 1t was stated at the
meeting that the Spanish cabinet crisis
probably would cause delay in this
matter. There was more or less Specu-
lation on the part of members as to
what would be the temper and charac-
ter of the reply when 1t should be re-
ceived, and the opinion was general
that the new ministry would manifest
a desire to cultivate friendly relations
with this country. The desire of the
administration is to meet these adj
vances, If they are accompanied by g.
policy, on the part or Spain towards
Cuba, that will hasten the close of the
war in accordance with American ideas.
1t is recognized that some time will
be necessary to demonstrate the policy
of the Sagasta cabinet, and the presi-
dents advisers are understood general-
ly to favor the policy of allowing a
reasonable time before following up the
first move made by Minister Woodford
with another of more pressing char
acter, as originally had been intended
in case the first note should not bring
a satisfactory reply.
There was more or less discussion Of
the proposed fur seal conference. 1t
was stated after the meeting adjourned
that it was not yet considered as abso-
lutely settled that Great Britain would
not participate in the conference. The
meeting also developed a confirmation
of the report that the Union Pacific syn
dicate had agreed y increase its bid
to the governmental $4,000, 900, and
that the attorney general, in view of
this fact, had decided not to appeal the
case, but to allow the sale to proceed.

ing the citizens of Chicago Wide
open war has been declared by the
brewers, and there is no telling where
it will end There is every prospect,
however, that it will surpass any pre-
vious beer war, and also that the sa-
loonkeeper will be quickly drawn into
the fight. The Manhattan Brewing
company, a member of the Chicago &
Milwaukee Brewers association, today
cut the price of beer so cents per bar
rel to 81, a reduction of so cents from
SIS having been previously been made
to meet the competition of the five OF
six small out-of-town brewers who
have been doing business in Chicago
The action of the Manhattan company
is believed to be only the opening gun
of the campaign.
