EVERYBODY LIKES HIM.
Prosperity Has Not Spoiled Ex-
Senator B. K. Bruce.
The First and Only Colored Man Who
Ever Sat in the Senate-His Views
on Negro Equality Are
Very Liberal.

The appoin tment of former United
States Senator Blanche K. Bruce to
the position of register of the treasury,
an Office that he held under the Garfield
end Arthur administrations, will be
met with general Endorsement all over
the country. OF all the colored poll
ticians Bruce Is the least offensive to
his white brother. Political prestige
has never given him the "big head"
He is the same umobtrusive citizen as
he was when blowing with a black mule
in the cotton fields in Mississippi a
quarter of a century ago. The priv
ilege Of walking on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. as q senator never made him a
fool. When defeated by the people for
reelection he did not charge and swear
and accuse the whites Of ballot-box
stuffing and the like. He took his med,
.icine. When first appointed register of
the treasury he dined that day on pot
liquor and turnip green's. He didn't
ride to his Office in carriage. He didn't
walk up the steps of the treasury build
ing with cigar between his lips and
an air of superiority upon his face.
Neither did a silk tile cover his hnky
hair. 1t was broad-brimmedp ianta-
ton chapeau, and he pulled it off when
he opened the door leading to his office.
That was Bruce.
He possesses more than ordinary in
telligence. He can make speech that
commands attention and brings about
thought from those who listen. With
the exception of Fred Douglas, now
dead, says the Chicago Times-Herald,
Bruce is nearer his people than any col
ored man that has ever appeared on the
political stage in this country. His
word with the negro has been law.
They have followed him blindly and
he has never yet advised them wrong
ly. If it were in his power to-day he
would bring about complete reconcil-
iation between the two races. He is
devoid of prejudices. Slavery was toll
Grated by law. 1t was abolished in a
sea of blood. For him that settled it.
Neither does he believe in negro DOM
nation. and his views on negro equal

ROBBED OF TEN CENTS.

About eleven o'clock this morning
a little colored boy sold some mistletoe
ON Alamo plaza for ten cents. As
he was going down Blum street near
the rear of the Menger hotel too large
colored boys grapped him and took
the dime away from him. He went
crying to Police Officer Hildreth and
told him about it and gave him the
name of one of his assaulters. The
officer went to the scene but the boys
had vanished. He says, however
that he knows them and will get them
later.

SEWER sIpIIoN TEST.

The sewer siphon test made by the

crossing of the river on South Alamo

have proven very satisfactory. All
the flush tanks on the west side of the
river were opened and simultaneous
flow of water was sent through the

Moved for Intervention.

moved Tor intervention.
New York, Dec. 29.-"Governor
General Blanco's acceptance of Presi-
dent McKinley's request that the Am
erican people be permitted to relieve
the sufferings of the concentrates in
Cuba is tantamount to the acceptance
of an offer of intervention by the
United States, in the conflict so long
i'll progress between the people of Gu
ba and the Spanish government"
said Thomas Palma, chief of the Gu
ban junta in this city to an Associated
Press .Nporter today. 'As the admin
istrarion believes peace in Cuba can
be restored only by political interven-
ton it cannot reject the favorable op-
portunity that presents itself to inter-
vene for the purpose of ending the
war in Cuba" continued DIR. Palma.
'TThe deplorable condition of the re-
concentrates has been caused by the
cruel warfare waged by Spain, and
the government, finding itself unable
to relieve the situation applied to the
United States for aid, President Nc
Kinley must see by now that there is
no chance for peace to be established
in Cuba without intervention and liv-
ing up to his word as given in his pre-
vious message must intervene, and
Spain cannot nationally and consist
emily resist such intervention. The
only way to relieve the concentrates
and in fact all Cubans, is to stop this
distress by introducing peace and
independence. With peace restored
the concentrates will be able to return
to their farms and their residences.
We have money, tools and materials
that will set these people right at
work again. Let the American peo-
pie know that the best plan is to inter-
vene for peace and they should inter-
vene Immediately"

THE LINDAHL INQUEST.

Coroner Shook took the testimony
of Dan C. Bitter this morning at the
inquest on the death of the late Ed.
Lindahl. The testimony corroborated
the account published in the Light
Sunday morning. From the testimony
thus far obtained the coroner is Of the
opinion that death was due to vertigo
and probably conclusion caused by a
fall. Deceased was a heavy man,
weighing over 200 pounds. There was
a hole on the back Of his head, which,
however, was not as large as at first
reported, and is believed to have been
caused by fall. Coroner Shook has
not yet rendered a verdict and the in
quest is still open.

military jubilee of King Albert OF Sax
ony, there was great parade. The
young emperor and the aged king were
seen driven side by side with waving
plumes. Immediately after them, in
the following carriage, IN long dresses,
in the solemn and solitary grandeur OF
his baby bed, watched over carefully by
his nurse, was borne the elder of these
two little sweeps, TIE heir presumptive
of the royal throne of Saxony.
In the next carriage was seen the
young prineeling's mother, her royal
highness, Princess Louise of Saxony,
daughter of the grand duke of Tuscany.
This beloved and beautiful woman, pub
licly adored because of her grace and
amiability, is the mother of the two lit
tie princes, George and Christian, whom
recently third little brother has come
TO join.
The happy father of these boys,
Prince Frederick August of Saxony,
who is destined towear the royal crowp,,
is eldest nephew of King Albert anA.
the eldest son of his brother, the fietd
marshal, Prince George of Saxony.
The eldest little son, George, has there
fore been named after his grandfather.
The citizens of Dresden frequently
see these little princes in the new gar
den of the renovated royal castle, play
ing opposite the castle keep.
1t need scarcely be added that the cos
tunes of the two youngsters were de-
signed Tor a. ID worn at a children's mas
querade at the court of Saxony. The
little princes are respectively five and
four years old, and the difference in
their ages is such that there has been
set into circulation an anecdote of a
Saxon workman who is reported to have
observed: "Well, the two little princes
will have to serve their military duty
in the same year."

The Evans breaker Of A. S. Van

from Hazleton was burned to the
ground last night. The operators are
convinced that II was incendiary. The
loss viii be about $4,000. The breaker
has been idle since noon last Tuesday
not as a consequence Of the strike. but
on account of a lack Of water. Tap
ping for water was to have begun to-
day, and the breaker would have re-
Sumed work Immediately The flames
originaed at the top of the breaker so

eral hundred in the mines connected
with Il. All these men have been
working continuously since the Latti-
mer shooting. They were driven out on
two occasions about two weeks ago by
bands Of strikers from Coleraine, but
returned afterwards. There is a well
founded theory that women had a
hand in the fire, as one was heard to
say yesterday: "If we can't get the
men out Wen fix It so that they cant
get in"
General Goblin knew none Of the de-
tails Of the fire until told by news
paper correspondent. He said: IF they
are beginning to apply the torch the
situation is grave indeed. They are
doing the very thing that will prevent
them working or obtaining the redress
they are asking. You see, they have
selected the breaker farthest away
from my troops. The nearest soldiers
to that point are those of the Twelfth
regiment. To reach there the men will
have to march. There is no means Of
transportation"
Asked the effect Of the fire upon the
proposed withdrawal of the militia, the
brigade commander said:
THE troops cannot be moved while
they are burning breakers. There is
the danger of imitation in other sec
tions"
General Goblin sent a detachment of
cavalry to the burned breaker this
morning.
General Goblin this morning made
the revelation that for some days he
has been in receipt of anonymous let
ters warning him that the breakers
would be burned. The handwriting and
construction, he said, indicated that
they were written by persons with
some education. He ignored them be-
cause they were anonymous.

The corrupt combinations which
were maneuvered by the political
shysters last fall were ostensibly in
the interest of silver, but re-
ally organized to allow the politicians
to loot the state treasury. Not sat
isfied with the amount in sight they
tried to get the people to vote over a
million more in bonds, but this was
defeated. The combinations were
known as the democratic-s silver re-
publican and populist. silver com
bines. With the seductive free sill
yer" cry they swept the state. Luckily
for the state treasury, however, one
combine got the state offices and the
other the Legislature. There is now a
