TO CONSIDER TOURISTS RATES.
Chicago EastbOund Roads Not Likely
to Raise the Grain Rate.

ANOauS NOt
to Raise the Grain Rate.
Chicago, Oct. "a call was issued to-
day for a meeting of the southeastern
lines, to be held in Cincinnati Oct. IA, for
the purpose of considering winter tourist
rates and the points to which they shall
be applied.
There is little likelihood that the roads
running east from Chicago will follow the
action of the northern roads and raise
the rates on east-bound grain and flour.
They are of the opinion that too much
of this traffic has been going east by the
northern routes and they are not willing
to take action that might result in the
loss of any greater portion of it to them.
1t is likely that a meeting of the traf-
fic officials of the eastern roads will be
held in the near future to consider the
action of the northern roads and to de-
eide upon the best line of action for the
roads out of Chicago to pursue.

IN GENERAL.
BRIEF MENTION OF EVENTS OF
INTEREST.
SPANS Reply to the Offer of the United
States to Act as Mediator In Cuban
Matters Is Almost an Insult and May
Cause Serious Trouble.

Madrid cables state that SPANS re-
ply to the note of the United States
limiting at mediation in Cuba and re-
questing an answer before the end of
October has been placed in the hands
of Gen. Woodford, the American minis
ter there. The communication is
courteous in tone, but very determined
in rejecting the purport of the Amer
lean note.
Spain resolutely asserts her deter
mination to settle the Cuban question
herself without foreign assistance or
interference of any kind. She declines
to fix any date for the pacifcation of
of Cuba, which she proposes to bring
about as she sees fit by force of arms
and by political reforms eliminating in
autonomy combined. While regretting
the losses and damages the insurrec-
ton has inflicted on foreigners Spain
argues that this would not have
happened if international law had been
observed by the United States espe-
cially. The note dwells at length on
filibustering and other material and
moral assistance which has chiefly con-
tributed to the rise and duration of the
rebellion. 1t clearly intimates that
Spain cannot continue the "forbear.
ance shown by Senior Canovas del Cas-.
tito and the duke of Tetuan during the
past two years" and that she now calls
upon the American government to
fulfill more strictly in the future the
rules and duties of international law"
because 1.-THE success of the new home
rule policy and the speedy pacification
of Cuba chiefly depend upon the con-
duct of the United States"
The Spanish press unanimously sup
ports the attitude of the government
which it calls eminently sober and dig
nified, but the impression is that the
controversy with the United States has
reached a critical stage which may be
the prelude to rupture. The Span
ish naval forces in the Caribbean sea
will be strengthened ON the pretext of
a necessity for increased vigilance on
the Cuban coast.
Ell Liberal thinks rupture is posi-
BILE as result of the negotiations be-
tween Spain and the United States,
and adds: eve ought to avoid this
rupture, SO far as duty and honor per-
init; but though the government should
act in a spirit of moderation, the ma
ton will under no circumstances au-
thorize the remuneration of Spanish
rights" III TEMPO publishes the an
nouncement that the reply of the
Spanish government TO the note of the
United States declares that if the
United States does not stop the sailing
of filibustering expeditions from Amer
lean ports Spain will re-establish the
right to search vessels anchoring in
Cuban waters.
London papers advise Spain to go
slow and by ali means avoid rupture
with the United States and say that it
is an idle dream for Spain to hope for
assistance from any European power.

Luetgert Jury Disagreed.

After being locked up in the court
room for &C hours-two nights and one
day-the 1s,jurors who listened To the
testimony in the famous case of Adolph
L. Luetgert, the Chicago sausagemaker
charged with killing his wife and dis
solving the body in a vat of acid, failed
to agree upon verdict. Nine of the
jurors stood for the death penalty and
three for acquittal. Judge Tuthlll
questioned each man separately how
he stood. Finding that there was no
possibility of an agreement he dis
charged them from further consider
alton of the case. Luetgert's wonder
full nerve never deserted him during
the final proceedings, and he heard the
announcement of the disagreement
with smile on his lips. The states at
torney said he would bring the accused
before the court a second time. Coun-
sci for the defense will make applica-
ton for the admission of the prisoner
TO bail.
