ter of our history has been parti-

it should be found and the wedges

He was compelled to draw his revolver be-

WASHINGTON, Doc 80-The Post this
morning says that IL has been learned
from an authoritative source that Secre-
tary Olney and Senior Dupuy de Lome the
Spanish minister, have practically termi-
mated the negotiations on the Cuban ques-
tion, which arc TO be submitted to CON
gress when 1t convenes on Jan. 8. The
terms of the agreement are based ON the
recent official communication from Pre-
mier Oanovas addressed TO the secretary
of state.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord TO the insurgents
and practically asks the United States to
propose these conditions TO her rebellious
subjects. In return for our good offices
Spain assures this government that she
sincerely deplores the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on account
Of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us
that she is even now considering recipro-
city treaty which will deal mainly with
Cuban products and which will be framed
In such advantageous terms toward this
government that our losses both In COM
merce and In the destruction Of American
property In Cuba will be most generously

vIoLAToRs OF LAW.

At the last term of Court a man
from Shohola was indicted for what
is commonly called "ticket scalping"
which is the buying of Rail road
tickets of passengers who have used
them in part, and reselling to others
With the guilt or innocence of this
party we have no concern, no doubt
he will be fairly dealt with. But
what shall be said of a corporation
which by running Sunday excur-
sions, bringing large numbers of
people within the borders of our
county, many of whom probably are
not active members of churches,
Sunday schools or temperance or
CARNATIONS, and turning them out
for day of such kind of recreation
as they would naturally seek? The
Rail road doubtless makes money by
this business, but the morals and
general walfare of that community
suffers untold effects. The minds
and manners of the rising genera
ton must be tainted with the sights
and sounds which greet their eyes
and ears, and what was once a
peaceful law abiding hamlet is now
turned into a bedlam of revelling
and debauch. That those who live
in glass houses should not throw
stones is an adage which may ap-
ply to corporations as well as in
dividuals.

LONDON, Dec e9.-The Paris CORE
spondent Of The Times this morning re-
news his surmises regarding opposition
by European powers TO Intervention by
the United States in Cuba. He says:
1.-THE Austrian court and government
have long bSaa uneasy over the attitude Of
American jingoism toward Spain, and
such uneasiness has long been the subject
of diplomatic talks. The queen regent Of
Spain Is che of the most beloved princess
es of the Austrian house. The love and
respect she has won from the Spaniards
have strengthened the affections reserved
for her In her own family, and there will
be no hesitation in demonstrating that
affection whenever 1t becomes question
Of defending the interests of the country
whose honor she protects with unmixed
enthusiasm and which has become as dear
TO her as II she had been born on its soil "
The Times Paris dispatch further re-
ports that The Temps remarks upon the
Cuban situation that military successes
and the attitude of the United States
should facilitate concessions by Spain "It
would be tactless, adds The Temps, ITO
spoil the situation by explicitly suggest
ing to the Madrid cabinet steps apparent

glory of the country. 10 would be more
opportune to use toward Washington dis

BULLETIN ON POULTRY.


We have received from DIR. b. H.
Warren State ZOologist Bulletin No.
II on the diseases and enemies of
poultry. In the introduction the
Importance of the poultry industry
is shown. 1t is there stated that
the value of the fowls and eggs pro-
duced in the United States annually
is three hundred and forty three
million dollars being equal to the
wheat crop of the country. Penn
sylvania is one of the leading states
in this production and the value of
the poultry and eggs raised by her
is about twenty two million dollars.
This bulletin treats of the various
diseases of fowls and gives the most
approved remedies for their cure,
also gives some interesting matter
concerning the furred and feathered
enemies of domestic fowls. DIR.
Warren estimates the loss from
these depredators at not less than
$3.50. 900. He combats the idea that
wildcats are daring and ferocious,
and says they are cowardly and will
flee their pursuers.
A report from correspondent in
the southwestern part of the state
says "the catamount is destructive
and ferocious animal, for one at
tackled me one night when 1 was
going home from courting a girl,
and treed me on a fence and 1 had
to stay there till day light" DIR.
Warren slyly intimates that wild
cats may be inclined to seek such
tender food.
Those interested would do well to
write for and obtain this bulletin as
the information contained in it is
very valuable to poultry raisers.

TO WHEELMEN

In the late bicycle contest in New
York the winners rode sitting nearly
erect. The fashion to have drop
handle bars and sit doubled up
which is affected by scorchers,
SHOULD go out among sensible riders,
and those who wish to receive the
full benefit of this pleasant and al
most universal exercise. The lungs
must have play in order to endure,
and the chest should be expanded as
much as possible. We hope there
fore during the coming season
wheelmen will discard the hump,
and sit sensibly upright ON their
machines.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 30-One of the most
destructive fires to the property of tn,
Consolidated railroad in recent years is
now smoldering in the immediate heap of
bituminous coal at the coal supply sta
tion, New Haven yards, where the loco
motives of six divisions get their supply
Of fuel. There are upward of $4,000 tons
in the yard at the present time, and it is
estimated that between 10, 900 and go, 900
tons have been consumed by the fire, caus-
ing loss varying from $40, 600 to $50, 0O0
The fire was caused by spontaneous com
bustion and was discovered two weeks ago
Since then a number of men have been
working day and night digging through
the coal heaps to extinguish the fire, and
1t will require several weeks yet of con
slant labor to ascertain the full extent Of
the damage.

CARDINAL coRRleAN.
The New York Archbishop Soon to Re.
oefve the Red Hat.


ROME, Dec. ae.-The Italian newspa-
pers announce the impending elevation Of
the Catholic archbishop Of New York to
the cardinalate, and, with respect to this
matter, The Arena, one Of the best inform
ed journals in Vatican affairs, makes the
following remarks:
Every one knows of the conflict which
has long existed in the American episco-
pate relative to certain doctrines, the prin-
cipal apostles of which were the ex rector
OF the Catholic university at Washington,
Bishop Keane, snd Archbishop Ireland Of
st. Paul
1t is also known that the pope recently
had an interview with Mgr. Keane, who
has given his holiness such explanations
that Leo XIII has completely absolved
him of the alleged errors of which he was
accused.
This event has certainly produced
great impression among American bish-
ops, who up to the present have been op-
posed to Keane and Ireland. In pardoning
these prelates the pope has, so to speak,
disapproved Of the conduct of their ac-
cusers.
ITO lessen, however, the effect which
this pardon may have produced on the
American episcopate his holiness has de-
cided to raise to the cardinalate Mgr. Cor
rigan, who represents the party hostile to
Keane and Ireland" "
