CUBA WILL BE FREE
Opinion OF Senate Chairman OF Foreign
Relations Committee.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, oct, 7,-The 'Pio-
neer Press" to-day publishes an inter-
view with Senator Davis, chairman OF
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions, relating TO the Cuban situation.
Mr. Davis doubts II any ministry ex-
acting autonomy to Cuba would be sus-
talned by the Spanish people. or wheth-
er II would, IN any event, he accepted
by Cuba. save through the influence OF
our own government with the people OF
the island, He does net favor immedl-.
ate annexation OF the island, but Is of
the opinion that should 1t secure inde-
pendence It's ultimate destiny 10 into
our union without aggressive action on
our part.
lie does not appehend war at any
time with Spain over the question, and
he looks for the collapse OF Spanish
power in Cuba before the close OF the
dry season.
Mr.. Davis said II was quite possible
that the instructions TO Minister Wood
ford we're az such a nature as to have
produced the change OF government In
SPAIN In conclusion, he says:
81 want to say that the United States
has, throughout the last administration
and the present, pursued course SO
forbearlng that Spain has no just rea-
son to complain, The belligerency Of
Cuba should, In my opinion, have been
recognized long ago. This government
has refrained from doing so, and has
enforced our neutrality laws against
her own citizens with the greatest Wig
Hanee and stringency Spain has had
every opportunity, so far as this gov
ernment Is concerned. to win back Gu
ba by coercion or negotiations, and has
failed to do so. The moderation which
the United States has displayed has
been recognized and wondered at by
many OF the leading journals OF Eng
land and continental Europe"

NEW YORK, Oct. 7,-Bitterness and
venom are being injected into local pol
itics. The Sun says Henry George is
sounding the tocsln Of anarchy and red
revolution, and urges everybody to rally
around Tracy, who is the last prop of the
social fabric. Low is denounced as an
"aiIy OF anarchy" The lurid picture Of
industrial disorder and general riot has
so FAR proved unconvincing TO the voters,
They profess to believe that nothing very
horrible will happen. whoever is elected.
Neither the Tammany nor Tracy CAM
palgn Is yet fairly under way,which may
account for an apparent popular drift
toward Low and George. In Brooklyn,
particularly, the bolt from the regular
Republican and Tammany ranks Is very
heavy. Brooklyn casts 200, 1000 votes, and
can easily decide the election.
A big franchise fight Is mixed up in
the contest. The Metropolitan Traction
Company broadway syndlcate) is help
ting TammAny, while the third company
expects more faY,rS under Republican
rule
The old trick OF prediction employ
ment Is being worked hard Thirty miles
OF streets are ripped up. while thousands
OF men lay railroad tracks, put down
pipe and contribute to political enthua-
asm.
The straw vote being taken by the
Journal on the mayoralty, shows a
steady gain for Henry George. who now
leads. The total vote Is as follows:

Murdered m. vic and Then suicrded.

FLINT. Mich, Oct. 7.-Lester l.. Bur-
ton murdered his wife at o'clock this
afternoon, by firing three bullets into
her body and finished the tragedy by
shooting himself dead. The acts were
committed in the parior Of the Dayton
hotel and caused intense excitement.
Burton, who was a lawyer, had FREE
quenuy quarreled with and maltreated
his wife. This resulted in her applying
for a divorce. After this Burton left
town, but returned recently and filed a
cross bill in his wlfe's suit. He had been
drinking this afternoon and threatened
TO shoot his wife and on entering the
room where she was, he deliberately
began the shooting which ended both
their lives. Burton killed himself just
as several persons who heard the Arst
SLOTS, rushed into the hotel parlor.
