NOVEMBER GALES.
Several Vessels suffer Severely from the
Wind and Waves

While leaving port at Ashtabula, o.,
in a heavy northwest gale, the steel
steamer Roman of the Hanna fleet was
caught in a heavy sea and dashed
against the bottom of the lake, almost
breaking the strong, stanch ship in
two. 1t was only by miracle that
tugs were able to get the Roman back
into the harbor before she foundered
The Roman had just passed outside the
piers bound for Milwaukee with a load
of coal when suddenly big sea seemed
TO run out from under her. dropping
her heavily upon the bottom of the
lake. The steel plates and frames
were cracked and broken by the crash
at point nearly in the middle of her
length. The break extended from the
water line through the rail and even
to the hatch on deck. The steamer
struck bottom but once. Had she snf-
fered another such blow it seems inn
possible that she could have been
saved.

SPANS Reply satisfactory TO Uncle Sam.


1t is stated on good authority that
Premier Sagasta's reply to L. S. Min
lister Woodford's note is eminently sat
isfactory to the L. S. government. In
it the Spanish ministry pledges itself
to correct the abuses of power in Cuba,
which were the subject of so much
complaint during the Weyler admins
tration, and gives assurance of its
friendly feeling toward the American
people. 1t accepts our good offices in
its efforts to restore peace in Cuba,
and in n perfectly respectful and
friendly spirit asks this government as
far as possible to restrain the lnsur-
gent sympathizers in the United
States from giving material aid to the
enemies of Spain in Cuba.
The reply has made favorable i'm
preston upon President Mckinley. 1t
is likely that one of the features Of
his forthcoming message will be a dis
cussion of the Cuban situation, from
which it will appear that there is
nothing in the situation to justify pres
ent interference on the part of the
United States.

Lord salisbury Threatens France.

At the lord mayors annual banquet

other matters, introduced the trouble
between England and France in West
Africa, and said: 1T might not achieve
the general conciliatory process de-
sired if / entered frankly into all the
negotiations between the powers re-
specting Africa. We are all aware of
the great extent of territory east loose
during the last 20 years in Africa and
put up as the object of acquisition for
several enterprising governors. We
desire that territory to be governed on
strict principles of right and with con-
slant regard to It's prosperity and to
the interests of the empire. We wish
trade to pursue an uncheckered course
on the Niger, the Nile and the Fam
best, and in doing these things while
we wish to behave in a neighborlv
manner and to show due consideration
for the feelings and claims of others,
we are obliged to say that there is 4
limit TO the exercise of this particu-
lar set of feelings and we cannot allow
our plain rights to be over-ridden."

Governor Bushnell introduces his
Thanksgiving proclamation as follows:
The year just drawing to close has
been filed with blessings of fruitful
fields and healthful skies. Neither
war nor pestilence nor disaster have
come upon us. Harbingers of peace
have been our morning joys and even
ing benedictions. God has been good
to us as people, and it is fitting we
should publicly make acknowledgement
of His loving kindness. The governor
therefore designates Nov. 25, as the
day for giving thanks.

Evidences of Prosperity In Michigan.
State Labor Commissioner Cox says
that evidences of returning prosperity
in Michigan are abundant The Office
is receiving reports which shows that
there are far less unemployed men in
the cities and villages of Michigan,
than there were year ago. Factory
employees have increased nearly 5000
more than last year being reported
from Detroit alone, and the canvass is
not yet completed. Prices of all farm
products have increased and the con-
dition of the farmer is much better.
Many farm mortgages have been can
celed or partly so, and debts of other
kinds wiped out by the farmer. From
an estimate made from a partial can
vass it is shown that there have been
more than a thousand new mercantile
and manufacturing institutions started
up in Michigan within the past year.
