STRUGGLE BETWEEN POLITICIANS
A Prominent Spaniard Accounts for the
Cuban tuatiOn.


LONDON, Oct. 4.-Truth prints a
statement said to emanate from a prom.
inent Spaniard, accounting for the Gu
ban situation. He is quoted as saying
that in Spain there is no such thing as
public opinion and that the government
of that country is mere struggle be-.
tween Il number Of professional politi.
clans and that with very few exceptions
these politicians endeavor to feather
their own nests.
Captain General Weyler is credited
with having amassed fortune in the
Philippine islands and he is said by the
Spaniard referred to, to have increased
it in Cuba, although probably he has
had to divide with good many politi-
clans at home. The Spanish army is
pronounced to be as rotten as the Span.
ish civil service system and, still &C.
cording to Truths informant, when a
Spanish regiment is sent to attack u
force of insurgents, the Spanish com.
mander sends an emissary with purse
who makes arrangements which pro-
vide that while the Spaniards march
one way the insurgents go away by an'
other route.

are mainly dependent, cannot be

Cattle are now nearly extinct, and
great pressure is being brought upon

imported from abroad.

THRONE AT STAKE
Q.~.,en Regent of Spain Voices
Her Anxiety Regarding Her
Sons Kingdom.
Afraid the Liberal Policy Will
Not Be Strong Enough
to Stand.
Advisers Tell Her There Is NJ
Alternative---Cuba a Ques-
tiOn of Politics.

New YORK, Oct. "A special to The
Void from Madrid via Bayonne says:
In all her consultations with the Span
ish generals and the leaders of the
political parties, the queen regent has
laid stress chiefly upon the question OF
Spain's relations with the United
States and the best means Of averting
the loss of Cuba through prolongation
Of the war and consequent American
intervention, thereby imperiling the
stability of her sons throne, let alone
playing into the hands Of the Republi-
cans and Carlists who have been
especially troublesome of late. The
queen insisted strongly upon discussing
whether Spanish rule in the West
Indies would not be jeopardized by a
too extended grant of autonomy. thus
enabling the separatists to prepare
gradually and legally their revolution
toward independence. She earnestly
asked the statesmen if they really be-
lieve a liberal government would be
strong enough to make the majority Of
the Spaniards accept extended home
rule, involving a sacrifie of Spanish
material interests in the colonial
markets and heavy burden for the
Spanish treasury if saddled with part
OF the Cuban debt. The queen ques.
toned whether Sagasta would be able tc

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Considerable Discussion as to Feature
Desirable to BE Incorporated.

Considerable Discussion as to Features
Desirable to BE Incorporated.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-There has been
a great deal of discussion lately, in
view of the advocacy by Postmaster
General Gary of postal savings banks,
as to the features which it would be
well to incorporate into any law passed.
The latest thing now being talked is
for the government to pay its interest
on the small deposits, say in sums be.
tween S25 and $3.50, in stamps. 1t
would increase the sale of stamps, which
will be just as good as money to the de-
positor, and it will relieve the treasury
of a great deal of trouble in figuring
and paying interest. Suppose the gov
ernment, through its postal savings
banks, pay per cent interest quarterly.
On hundred dollars there would be
dollar coming due every three months.
For this the postmaster.banker could
simply hand out ~ 2-cent stamps and
70 1.cent stamps. The average person,
or head of q family, in the United
States, it is figured uses from IS to $l2
worth of postage per annum.
The proposition recently suggested to
General Gary is to pay little higher
rate of interest where stamps are used
to pay off the coupons than where cash
is paid. Not over ~ to per cent will
be paid in cash.
Another scheme is to issue govern.
ment obligations, something like certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness, and place them
on sale at every postal savings bank.
They can be taken up by patrons Of the
government, who have a fair postal
savings bank account, and thus the
wage earners and the thrifty of all
classes in each community will become
creditors of the government.
These are but q few of the many
propositions that will be brought to the
attention of congress soon after it con
venes. The postal savings bank ques
ton will become one of Importance and
interest as the session advances, and
eventually the system will undoubtedl,
be given trial.

Union Pacific Sale viii Take Place
on Monday.
A NEW PROPOSITION IN
REORGANIZATION COMMITTEES
TO BID s5s,ooo,ooo.
Sufficient to Cover the Full Amount
of the Governments Claim-In
London It Is Acknowledged That
the Road Must Go to the Reorgan-
ization Committee.

Washington. Oct. 26.-Although the
government officials decline either to
affirm or deny the report of its accept
ance of the new proposition Of the re
organization committee Of the Union
Pacific railroad, there is no reasonable
doubt of its accuracy. This PROPOSE
ton is understood 10 be an Increase of
the original guarantee bid of $50, 100000
to a sum sufficient to cover the full
amount of the governments claim
against the Union Pacific road proper,
which, on Oct. l, aggregated sos. 057 ,39o.
This includes the principal OF the debt,
which amounts TO 1925, 512, and the
balance Of the interest paid by the
United States, amounting to $50, $3.50, SS6.
This represents the full amount OF the
Union Paeifcs obligations to the gov
eminent. The sale of this line Will be
proceeded with, as originally intended.
about Nov. 1. As to the Kansas PACING
road, the committee withdraWs its
guarantee and consents 80 a postpone
ment of the sale to any date to suit
the convenience of the government. This
action, It Is understood, leaves the gov
ernment in the same position with re-
spect TO the Kansas Pacific as before
the negotiations we're Instituted, and in
this situation the government may, if it
desires. postpone the sale indefinitely
The debt of the Kansas Pacific TO the
government aggregates nearly S13.O0O.-
GOO, Of which ss,o33,ooo is principal, and
the remainder unpaid interest. Whether
the government will ask the court to
order q sale of the Kansas Pacific on
Dec. 10 cannot be stated, but should it
so decide. 1t is understood that no OBJ
lection will he raised by the reorganiza-
ton committee. The net result of the
new organization, go far as concerns
the Union Pacific, is regarded by the
officials as highly advantageous to the
government, as it secures all that it
has ever claimed to be due it, and rem
ders it practically certain that a. very
large share Of the debt Of the Kansas
Pacific viii be realized whenever 1t may
desire to consent to it's sale.

Late advices from London confirm
rumors that have heretofore reached
this side of the Atlantic that Il finan-
cially powerful syndicate is in process
of formation in England, France and
Germany to buy all the paying claims
of miners in the Klondike region. Of
course this will lead to a vast amount
of speculative valuation, but there is
q claim in the Klondike, as elsewhere.

CONSUMPTION CURE.
DR.. HirschfelderJs Formula Given to
the Public.

San Francisco, Oct 26.-Omcial no.
tice has been received by the Belgian
consul, Leon Guislain, that the minister
Of foreign affairs had transmitted doc
uments concerning DR.. Joseph O.
HGrschfelder'S consumption cure to the
royal academy of medicine of Belgium,
and that the academy had commits
stoned DR.. Vanlair. one of it's titular
members. to make an examination
The formula for making oxytubercu-
line, which it is claimed makes con-
sumption durable. is briefly stated as
follows:
Veal is soaked in water, and its juice
is then expressed, boiled and filtered
Glycerine, peptone and salt are put in
the liquid, which is made slightly al
kaline with a carbonate of soda
In this liquid the germs of tubercu-
losis are grown. When they are fully
developed the liquid with the germs is
boiled and filtered. The resultant liquid
is tuberculine.
This tuberculine is the basis of DR.,
Hirsehfelder's preparation. Peroxide
of hydrogen is added to it, and the mix
ture is heated for $50 hours, at the end
of which it is oxytuberculine This is
clarified with a caustic soda solution
and per cent of boric acid is put in to
keep it from decomposition.

formalities have heen gone through the
question tpras TO politics. Then the
politician gets in his work, venturing
the opinion that it is a ridiculous no
ton that craftsmanship should be intro
duced into municipal affairs This is
agreed with by others Of the clique and
then they will endeavor to draw out
their victim, with the hopes of getting
a similar expression from him or her.
One of the worst features of this little
scheme is the fact that il cropped out
in several instances that the names of
the heads of the church were used as
being opposed to partisanship. This
was resorted TO, however, when it was
apparent that the victim was strong
church member.
1t seems that this is the method they
have adopted for conducting Il cam
paign and it is not surprising that
something Of this character should be
done. as it would be disgraceful for
them to attempt q public demonstra-
ton with the small force now remain
ing, coupled with the fact that these
are not enthusiastic in their position.
1t is well for Democrats to bear in
mind this fact, that with the exception
of the mayor and 4 few councilmen
on the non-partisan ticket, that ticket
is practically Republican. II is whis-
pered around now that the Republican
nominee, s. :. Jones, is to be supported
in place of Rodger Farrer, the nom
partisan nominee, and that the Demo-
cratic councilmen on the non-parusan
ticket are to be substituted with the
Republican nominees for councilmen.
Under this plan, if the Democrats can
be outvoted. there viii not be a Demo-
crat elected to Office.
1t is well for the Democrats to in
quire and find out if they are not being
used as catspaws for a great Repub-
lican victory.
1t can be said of the Democratic
party that they are carrying on a
clean and legitimate campaign, which
has always been characteristic OF the
party in our city. and they believe that
despite the sharp practice that has been
