Hone for the Cloakmalxers.

New York. Nov. 27.-The situation IN
the cloakmaking trade was considerably
cleared when FIVE Of the largest con-
Germs assured the Brotherhood OF Cloak
makers that they would neither lock out
nor cut down the wages OF their en-
ployes. These firms employ about oV
per cent. of the labor In that INDUSTRY
and II has been feared that on the ex-
piration Of the peace contracts tney
might wage an aggressive campaign
against the brotherhood.

life Letters Of the most threatening

hotel, where she now lives. While Mrs.
Van Setback was leaving the postofiice
IN the lake front a man touched her

thrust the note in her hand and hurried
away. on arriving at her apartments
IN the Victoria hotel she opened the
note. which was written on a piece of
yellow paper, and read the following:
cit is best for you to keep out of sight.
You have people against you. LOOK out
for vitriol."
Mrs. Van Setback Alarmed.
The note was not signed and was
written in a scrawling hand. The ter
rifed woman at once called in friend
and the note was shown. Not until she
received this warning in such an odd
manner did she pay any attention to
another note received in her morning
mail a few days ago. This note was
written on a piece of the finest Of white

Her friends-and she has many in Chi

A VIGOROUS POLICY.
Spain Determined to Pursue II
In Cuba.
MAY THUS HEAD OFF CONGRESS.
Spanish Ofncials Think the Situation Will
Assume Brighter Aspect by Dec. 0.
Texts of Communications to BE Kept
Secret Until Then.

MADRID, oct. 27.-Although the gov.
ernment of Spain will not give out the
text of its reply to the United States
on the subject of Cuba, it is officially
announced that the reply of the Span
ish minister for foreign affairs, Senior
Gullon, is ON the following lines 1t
expresses regret at the fact that the in
surrection in Cuba receives the sup
port from frequent American filibuster-
the rebellion in Cuba would possibly
not exist. 1t is hoped by the Spanish
government that by granting autonomy
to Cuba and the withdrawing of Ameri-
can support of the insurgents the insur-
rection will shortly be ended.
1t is further officially announced that
the Spanish note is marked throughout
by an energetic tone.
According to the reports in official
will confine himself to acknowledging
the receipt of the Spanish reply, and
after forwarding it to the United States
government will request instructions
from Washington before proceeding
any further in the matter.
1t is not expected that the text of the
answer Of Spain will be published here
before the senate has had the oppor-
tunity of celebrating upon it, and,
therefore, it is understood that the text
of the document may not be published
in the United States until after the re.
assembling of congress.
But before congress reassembles (the
first Monday in December, otherwise
Dec. 6), it is expected by the Spanish
officials here that the conditions of af-
fairs in Cuba, so far as the lnsurrection
in that island is concerned, will have
considerably improved and that, there.
fore, the whole question will have as.
sumed brighter aspect.
Finally, it is announced from official
sources, the Spanish government has
determined to actively pursue new
policy toward Cuba and to take more
energetic military action against the
Cuban insurgents.

During three and half smonths that

the deficiency amounts to S35,00O,0OO.
At this rate the deficit for the year will
be over a hundred millions. The last
year of the Wilson law the deficit was

ed horribly over it. Mr.. John Wana.
maker, the great merchant of Phila-
delphia, in an interview the other day
was asked:
"Has the tariff already raised the price
of goods?"
Certainly it has," was Mr.. Wana-
makers reply. ave received today,
for instance, an invoice of steamer rugs,
They actually cost us S7.57 apiece. These
same rugs we have been selling here in
the store under the old tariff rate for
$3.50. No one would ask us to sell rugs
at that price which really costs us cents
more, so you see the price must 60 up,
It is the same with other things
1t concerns very few about the ad.
vance in steamer rugs, but Mr.. Wana-
maker says: ut is the same with other
things" The potato crop is a failure
this year. Certainly it is a necessity of
life. Well, the Dingley tariff proposes
to meet the scarcity by tax of 25 cents
bushel on importations from Canada,
Ireland and Scotland. This will fall
hard on workirgmen, for they have no
surplus to 90 to and draw from. And
this the Hanna organs call prosperity.

THEADMINIsTkATIoN SCARED

The administration has discovered that the
people are aroused over the contemplated
steal of the Union Pacific railroad.
THE attorney general has notified the or
ganiaton committee that he proposes to ask
the court for an adjournment of the foreclosure
sales of the Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific
railway property to December Is, so as to
postpone final disposition until after congress
shall meet" The dispatches say that this
action is no doubt taken to flee the administra-
ton from embarrassment 1t is no doubt
also true that Mark Hanna has discovered that
his holdings in the Union Pacific stocks were
not first class, ,Ccctoncerng documents. His
communications with Mckinley will evidently
show that like all other acts of this admini5tra-
tion he was the prime mover for postpone
mcnt 50 that he would not be caught in the
net that is rapidly weaving around these
conspirators to defraud the government.
The fact of postponement should not be
taken as a virtue on the part OF the admins
tratiOn, To quote homely phrase the action
of Hanna may only be "a letting 60 so as to
spit on their hands and get better hold"
Should Mark Hanna with his millions of stock
in the Union Pacific be reelected to the
senate, he will be in position to make millions
Of dollars by single act Of congress and
reimburse himself for all the expenditures of
this campaign a thousand fold. Nothing of
moment has been so directly convincing that a
fraud on the government was intended than
the Fastening to withdraw the foreclosure sale
after the people and the peoples press have been
heard from.

NEGOTIATIONS SECRET.

Spain and United States Agree to Keep
Quiet Until Congress Has Assembled.
Government OmciaIs Confirm the Re-
port That woodford Has the Reply.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Confirmation
from official sources is given that the
Spanish authorities at Madrid have de
hvered to Minister Woodford the an
swer of Spain to the representations of
the United States contained in Mr..
Woodford's instructions. Under these
circumstances it is not doubted that the
United States minister has advised the
authorities here on the essential feat
ures of the reply.
The text Of the reply is known to be
very lengthy, so much so that it is
doubted whether the full answer will
be sent by cable. If this is attempted,
however, it will be long and laborious
process of translation and transmission,
the original Spanish being first trans
lated to English, then reduced TO
cipher, then cabled then translated
back from cipher to English. AS the
actual delivery Of the document into
Mr.. Woodford's hands did not occur
until late Monday, these processes
would delay the receipt of the text
probably several days, If any attempt
was made to cable it in full.
The statement is reatfirmed by Off.
cials that no publicity Of the Woodford
instructions, or of Spain's answer, will
be made at Madrid or Washington un-
til after the assembling of congress,
and it is generally believed that the
two governments have reached an un-
derstanding as to holding back the let.
