LET BLANCO ALONE
And He Says He Can Paclfy Cuba in
Short Order.

Madrid, Nov. 3.-MarshaI Blanoo, the
new captain general of Cuba, has sent
cable message to the Spanish government
saying he has formed a favorable opinion
regarding the prospects for the pacifca-
ton of Cuba.
A semi-ofhciaI note was circulated to-
day giving a more exact Indication of
the contents of the Spanish note in re-
ply to the communication of the United
States on the subject of Cuba than has
hitherto been published.
The first part OF the reply is a para
phrase of the latest note of the United
States. It concludes with the assurance
that Spain is animated by the same
friendly feeling as is expressed on behalf
of the United States.
The second part of the reply goes into
elaborate details concerning the various
flibustering expeditions. Spain, in con-
Guiding that portion of her reply to the
United States, expresses the hope that
this phase of the situation will be changed
and that the United States will try to
prevent further violations of the inter
national law.
Replying to the offer of mediation by
the United States, Spain says she hopes
the United States will act '1OyalIy and
correctly in helping Spain to pacify Cuba,
especially in view of the fact that such
an extended form of autonomist govern
ment is about to be sincerely granted"
The general feeling here is more hopeful
of a peaceful outcome of the situation.
especially since Marshal Blanco's arrival
in Havana, as it IS believed his presence
will greatly further the solving of the
Cuban problem. At the same time it
is pointed out that the submission of the
insurgents cannot be expected unless
they are entirely abandoned by the United
States

ROCKS DIDN'T EXIST.
Falls That Terro=ized Ohio River Men
for Years Myth.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 3.-Any steersman
could have piloted a steamboat through
the dangerous waters of the Ohio Falls
at any time during the past 100 years
without fear of accident, according to an
alleged discovery made by United States
Engineer Captain Henry Dugan and Cap
tain Dan Varble, the well known falls
pilot today. This will be a surprise to
pilots and the matter will cause end
of discussion on the subject. Ever since
the big boats have been going over the
falls in the high water it has been neces-
sary to hire a special pilot to take them
through the rapids. He is supposed to
know exactly where the dangerous rocks
rear their heads. and is paid a large sum
for steering clear of them. Seven pilots
are licensed for that special purpose by
the government. and they must go through
an examination.
Captain Dugan and Captain Varble
drove over the course yesterday in the
buggy of the former, and observed the
markings of rocks as laid bare by the
government improvements that are GO
ing on. To their surprise they found that
there were no dangerous rocks in the
channel, and Captain Dugan said today
that in his opinion a barge or steam
boat could float over in perfect safety
without the sign of a pilot.

Two Trainloads of Visitors Go in Over
the U. P. and Rock Island.

Denver. Nov. 3.-Two train loads of
Kansas excursionists arrived IN thls
city Saturday morning over the Union
Pacific road The visitors spent the

STEEL MAKING TOWN.
Second Pullman Predicted to Rise at
LomaX, Ill.

Chicago. Nov. 9.-Thompson McCosh
of this city is in Burlington, Iowa,
where he has just completed a deal for
eastern capitalists for 1000 acres of
land at LOmax, Ill, which he says he
will convert into a second Pullman. The
deal has been in process of completion
for several months, and an immense
amount of money is reported to have
changed hands on its final cOnsumma-
ton.
A large steel plant is among the early
possibilities, and other enterprises of
equal Importance are in contemplation.
A model town is to be created. and Mr..
McCOsh promises a pressing rival to
Pullman. The new town has the advant-
age of excellent railroad and shipping
facilities and is expected to grow and
to flourish. Its hacker lives at the
Tower hotel, in Sixty fifth place, when
he is in the city, and there he has maps
and fun plans for the development of
his pet scheme. He says that, as pIen-
ty of capital is behind the enterprise.
there is every reason to believe it viii
materialize in the way he is counting
on.

FIT TO BE A MINISTER.
Chicago Minister Gives a Call to Miss
Jane Addams.

Chicago, Nov. 3-Aiss Jane Adams
may soon be known as Rev. Jane Ad-
DAMS with the right to baptize children,
to marry couples and to exercise all the
functions of a regularly ordained min
lister. DR.. H. w. Thomas is enthusiaS-
tic in his desire that she should become
a regular preacher of the gospel, and, if
he can persuade her, he viii ask the
council of the Liberal Congress of Re
HgiOns to Ordain her. He feels that she
ought to be a preacher, as it would help
her in her great work at Hull House.
He sees into the future like d, prophet
and thoroughly believes that, with a
preachers license, her life work will be
rounded out to perfectness.
You really ought to be a preacher"
said DR.. Thomas to Miss Adams yes
terday. 1T is your field. I feel it
strongly and shall ask the Liberal Con
gresS of Religions to Ordain you. AS a
preacher you can get nearer to the
hearts of the people in the nineteenth
ward and minister to them in a way
which will help the noble work now be-
ing done at Hull House"
My life work is here" said Miss Ad-
dams. L do not yet see the advantage
to my work if 1 were ordained. I help
preachers whenever they wish me to fill
pulpits on Sunday, and this does not in
terfere with my work here. I have
spoken at Jenkin Lloyd Jones' church;
I have helped DR.. Thomas and others
1 can do this any Sunday and am glad
to be able to help. But I am not Ger
tain about the advantage to be gained

BOTTLED MILK GOES UP.
Chicago Dealers Ascribs the Advance
to Scarcity and Dairy Com bine.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-Milk in bottles will
be at a premium commencing today,
when dealers in different sections of
the city viii effect a concentrated rise
of 1 cent for delivering their staple in
this popular way. No change viii be
made in the price of milk in bulk where
it is delivered in pals, the figure re-
naming at cents.
Tickets for bottled milk may be pro-
cured at the rate of IA for 81, which is
a cut of two tickets from the old Milk
men assign the rise in price to the scar
city of milk and the action of dairymen
in effecting a gradual increase in the
charge for cans. 1t is claimed that
dealers are cmpelled to pay . cents
more for ten gallons of milk than four
months ago. Bottles are said to have
become higher in value and more diff
cult to obtain. Prominent dealers say
that just as soon as the dairymen ap-
proach the former standard they viii
reduce the price to cents.

They WILL NOT FUSE.
Senator PETER Says Democrats
and POpulists
Will Not Come Together in
1900 as in 1896.
There Must be New Arran cement
in Which the Two Parties Be-
come One, He Says.

Ex-United States Senator W. A. Pef-
fer, ir his paper the Topeka Advocate,
declares today that such a fusion deal
as prevailed in Kansas last year, viii
never again be accomplished and sub
mits the two following propositions up
on which he suggests an alignment
for 1898:
"First-That the friends of the gold
standard policy, without regard to for
mer political Affiliations. are working
together to maintain that policy.
''Second-That the Republican party.
with its late recruits, cannot be de-
feated unless their opponents unite for
that purpose
Discussing the result of such an ar
rangement Mr.. PETER says:
Neither of these propositions re-
quires argument, but the second needs
to be well thought over to the end that
some feasible, effective and satisfac-
tory plan of procedure may be devised
to get the opposition voters Joined in
permanent union. If such a plan is
found to be practicable, the sooner it is
adopted the better for all concerned
ana for the country, because,
in that event, there is little
enough time to organize the
great movement for the campaign of
1900. On the other hand, if such a plan
cannot be agreed upon, the people
ought to know it, so that they may
proceed alOuS Lne1F own INES as pest
they can.
1t must be apparent by this time to
Democrats and Populists alike that
such an alliance between their parties
as was formed in 1896 will not again
take place. While it would be agree
able to many POpulists. it is not at all
probable that it could be made accept
able to all of them A very large proper
tiOn of the party will not under any
circumstances consent to repeat the
experiment of last year. This the Ad-
vOcate regards as settled. The Nash
vile conference of last July is cOnclu-
insist upon such a combination will re-
suit in a permanent separation of the
two opposing elements in the party,
not that there is necessarily an inseD-
arabic barrier to Z mingIing of voters
who had formerly belonged to both the
Democrat and POpulist parties; but be-
cause of irritating anita gOnism between
the two parties as such, especially in
the southern states.
The Advocate submits whether it is
not the part of wisdom to avoid per
manent cleavage, if it be possible. not
only in our party, but in the ranks of
the reform forces generally: or put
IN another form, is it not wise to un-
dertake the gathering of all the OppO-
sit1on elements into one body in which
each would have equal voice in deter
mining the creed, the name. the Off
GERS and candidates of the new body?
That would relieve the situation from
all discussions about alliances and con-
federations. Nothing then but the
broad field of a general union would
be before US, and the prospect would be
more agreeable and vastly more en-
cOuraging."

not ascTibe the astounding increase in

the fact that well-to-dO and even rich
people are now using the savings banks
for the purpose Of obtaining for their
deposits a rate of interest, which in
the existing condition of the money
market, they could not possibly get at
any ordinary bank.
As the matter stands now it is quite
easy for the rich people to open ac-
counts at the various postoffices

assumed names, and thus evade the ST.

EXPERT EVIDENCE.
Illinois Supreme Court Holds it Must

b , Rendered Without Special Fee.
Springfield, H., Nov. 3.-An import
ant decision was handed down by the
supreme court today, which involves
the right of a physician to receive a fee
for rendering expert testimony The
case is under the title of Dixon VS.. the
People, and was originally commenced
in the circuit court of Sangamon coun-
ty, at the May term, 1895, and grew out
of a refusal to give an expert opinion
by DR.. J. n. Dixon of this city
A lady had sustained injuries from
a defective sidewalk, and had brought
suit against the city. DR.. Dixon was
called to give an expert opinion as to
whether the injuries sustained would
produce the result which she claimed.
He refused to testify until he was paid
a fee as a professional expert. Judge
Creighton held that he was not entitled
to any special fee. DR. Dixon then re-
fused to testify. and the court held him
in contempt and fined him S25 and
costs. The case was taken to the ap-
pellate court, where the decision was
affirmed. The supreme court has af-
firmed the decision of the lower court,
and witnesses will hereafter be com
PEELED to render expert testimony with
