TERMS FOR CUBAN PEACE.

The Washington Pos. said Tuesday: 1T
that Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy de
LONE the Spanish minister. have ~practi
cally terminated the negotiations on the
Cuban question, which are to be submitted
to Congress when it convenes January ).
The terms of the agreement are based on
the recent official communication from
Premier Canovas, addressed to the Secrc-
tary of State.
1.-The Premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insurgents
and practically asks the United States to
propose these conditions to her rehellious
subjects. In return for our good Offices
sincerely deplores the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on account
Of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us
that she is even now considering reci-
procity treaty which will deal mainly with
Cuban products and which will be framed
in such advantageous terms toward this
government that our losses both in COM
merce and in the destruction of American
property in Cuba will be generously com
pcnsated.
premier Canovas says that Spain can
not, of course, as selfrespecting and re-
spected nation, stand before the world as
having been coerced into measures by the
United States. She has freely granted all
that she now offers, and that in the face
of a rebellion. But she accepts the good
Offices of the United States to act as medi-
ator and to guarantee to the insurgents
amnesty and the enforcement of the new
reform law which she is about to proclaim
in Cuba.
THE form of government offered is,
the Spanish statesman declares, the limit
of independence which can be granted to
province by any nation without abso-
lutely severing the bonds of union with
the mother country Autonomy as en-
joyed by the Canadians, can never be
granted in Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the
insurgents if they lay down their arms
and what she asks the United States to
guarantee, is an act which provides for a
council of administration, which shall con-
troll all matters pertaining to the commerce
of the Indies and all estimates upon ill.,,
general taxation and expenditures of the
island as well as its general home govern
ment.'

through the House, and will be fought
stou:Iv in the Senate.
The announcement that Representative
and Senator elect Money, of Mississippi,
who is Il member of the House COMMITTEE
on Foreign Affairs. had taken advantage
of the Congressional recess to go to Cuba
for the purpose of making personal in
vestigation OF the situation. has caused
much gossip in Washn gton. While every
body knows t:lat M Money means well,
there is disposition To 'errct the publlcl-
ty which has been given to his trip, be-
cause it looks like a reflection upon our
State Department and its agents in Cuba.
Confidential agents of the Wanamaker
and the Choate senatorial hooms have been
working on the friends of Mckinley i'm
order to get him to throw his influence on
their side. But they have not succeeded.
While there is little doubt that most of the
original Mckinley men would rather see
Wanamaker sent to the Senate from Penn
by the way, is being supported by the Ma
tional A. F. 4, aud 'hoaIe elected Srna-
tor from New York instead of Platt, but
they cannot see Il good enough chance for
either to win to advise Mckinley to take
a stand that would make Quay and Plat
the open enemies of his administration.
Hon William =. Holman, of Indiana.
whose familiar face and rigid views on COY
eminent economy have been missed from
the present House has been elected Il mem
Der of the next. and is more determined
than ever to live MP to the reputation he
made as the Watchdog of the Treasury.
When the republicans take the first step
towards an increase Of extravaganza by
the introduction of a new tariff bill, at the
extra session, that will furnish more mon
ey to be spent. it is the purposc of Judge
Holman to make a speech. in which if he
cannot prevent extravaganza. he will at
least attempt to make it clear to the pco-
pie that it exists under present cXpendi-
lures; he will also cndeavor to show that
the expenditures Oft the government should
not exceed $3.50 800 zoe Il year. and that if
they were reduced to that amount the
pres ent tariff would produce an annual
surplus of Sl0o, 900, 900 which could be ap-
piled to the reduction of the bonded debt,
The Pacific railroad LOBBYISTS are So un-
easy about the prospect of the funding
bill to come up in the House January 9TH,
that they have followed Representatives
out of town in order to talk to them in ia
vor of the bill during the recess. The OPP
ponentS of the bill are also active, and the
four days it will be under discussion in
the House are not at all likely To be dull.

We do not believe that it is possible to
appease the popular clamor by the dec
laration that Mr.. Cleveland has so cx-
tended the class system that there will
he only few offices at President Nc
Kinley's disposal. 1t is true that he
will be confronted with condition the
like of which has not been before eN-
perienced on account of the wholesale
extensions of the civil service law, made
by the retiring President. As Con
gress is made up of material opposed

p KILLED IN 4 WRECK.

Twenty seven people are dead as the re-
suit of a horrible wreck on the Birming-
ham Mineral Railroad at a bridge over the
Cahaba river, twentyseven miles from
Birmingham, at 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Only nine persons survive to tell the
tale and some of them will be added to the
list of fatalities. Many of the bodies
gathered from the wreck are so badly
burned that they cannot be recognized at
all.
The train left Birmin CHAM at $50 o clock
Sunday morning. 1t contained men, wo
men and children en- route home to vari
Gus points along the Mineral Road. They
had spent the Christmas season with
friends and relatives in Birmingham, and
were still in the enjoyment of the feast
The morning was cool and the sun shone
brightly. The train proceeded over the
Louisville and Nashville main line to Ia
Goa, fourteen miles south of Birmingham
thence along the Birmingham Mineral
tracks to Gurnee, seven miles WESTWARD d.
and there went upon the Brierfield and
Blocton branch Of the Southern Railroad,
which is used by the Mineral as far as
Blocton, fifteen miles further west.
A few miles west of Gurnee was the
bridge over the Cahaba river. This was
an iron structure no feet high, resting
Il non four stone piers, one on each side
of the river and the other two supporting
the middle span. The total length of the
bridge was 400 feet and of the middle span
$50 feet. The latter rested upon iron work
sixty feet high, the iron work itself held
by the two middle stone piers fifty feet
high. 1t was what is known as 4 beach
bridge, and had no overhead work. En-
actly what made the train fall into the riv
er is not known. The engine went down
over the farthest of the two middle stone
piers and the tender, a combination bag
gage and smoking car and two coaches
went down this side of that pier. The en-
CINE fell on its side and the coaches piled
on top of one another in an indiscriminate
mass. Stoves in the coaches set fire to
the wreck, and in a short while it was II
mass of flames.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsHINcToN. d. c.. December asth.
Nix. acknowledgements not being in
session, the tariff barons who were in and
around the Ways and Means Committee
room at the Capitol, in which Mr.. Dngley
and his republican associates on the COM
mittec to- day began the public hearings
upon the several schedules of the proposed
new Dingley tariff bill, were the center of
attraction. The schedule upon which to-
days hearings were based was that en-
bracing spirits, wines and other bevera gcs.
The republicans had expected that the
South would be largely represented among
those asking for favors under this schedule.
but they were disappointed The next
schedules to be taken up will be that of
cotton goods followed by that on sugar
and molasses.
There seems to be Il general disposition
to misunderstood the issue raised bctw cen
Congress and the President by Secretary
Olney when he SAID that the President
would not obey a joint resolution even if
passed over his veto, directing him to rec
ogniZe the independence Of Cuba, because
the President alone had the right to decide
such questions. 1t is not contended by
the Senators who will oppose Secretary
Olney's position that the President has
not the right to recognize a new state
without reference to Congress; on the con-
trary, they freely cOncede him that right
They claim, however, that joint resolu-
ton of Congress when it becomes Il law,
whether by ordinary methods or by being
adopted by il two-thirds vote over the
Presidents veto, is just as binding upon
the President as any other law In other
words, that while the President may eXer-
else his discretion as to recognition in the
absence of Congressional action, it is in
the power of two-thirds of Congress to
compel him to obey its behests, in recog-
niZing the independence of a new state, as
well as in anything else The claim that
Congress wished to deny the Presidents
right to act independently of it in rccog-
nizing new state has been put forward
to middle the question. The question will
not be settled soon, anyway, as the Cam
erOn resolution for the recognition of
Cuba hasn't the slightest show to get

A current item is to the effect that
rather than stand the cost of feeding
horses through the winter, farmers in
sections of Northern Indiana have kill
ed them and disposed of their carcasscs
to tertilizing factories. The cause of
this distressing state of affairs is not
distinctly stated. 1t may be the lack
of demand on account of the cable and
electric cars, and the use of horseless
wagons in Europe. Or, perhaps, the
advance agent Of prosperity has been
spQw-bound.
