THURSDAY, JANUARY "a, 1897.

The end of the Cuban war is ap.
parently drawing near. 1t is reported
that Secretary Olney has notified
Spain that unless she promptly proffers
full local self government to Cuba she
will face the immediate danger of a
recognition of Cuban independence.
Spain has at last concluded that all
her efforts to suppress the insurrection
are useless. Approaching this fact
which has been apparent to all nations
for the past six months, Prime Minis
ter Canovas has definitely accepted
Secretary Olney's proffer of American
intervention, as wei, as the terms
which President Cleveland and Mr..
Olney prescribed as the price for
their interference and the use of their
prerogatives in attempting to bring
about a state of peace in Cuba. Mr..
Olney submitted in full to Senor
Canovas the terms for peace with
Cuba, upon which the Administration
was prepared to intervene and use its
efforts to bring about a settlement be-
tween Spain and its colony. They
provide for home rule in Cuba, by
which Cuba is to govern herself; col
lect all taxes; disburse all public
money; Spain to be debarred from
all share in the revenues of the island,
and from all interference in elections.
A money remuneration to Spain for
this practical loss of the island is talk
ed of. What will come of these
negotiations remains to be seen.

UNCLE SAM AND JOHN BULL AT
PEACE.

President Cleveland sent the follow.
ing message to the Senate Monday
afternoon transmitting the Anglo
American general arbitration treaty
To the Senate-I transmit here
with a treaty for the arbitration of all
matters in difference between the
United States and Great Britain.
The provisions of the treaty are the
result of long and patient deliberatlon
and represent concessions made by
each party for the sake of agreement
upon the general scheme.
Though the result reached may
not meet the views of the advocates
of immediate, unlimited and irrevo-
cable arbitration of all international
controversies, it is nevertheless, con-
fdently believed that the treaty can
not fail TO be everywhere recognized
as making long step in the right
direction and as embodying a practi-
cal, working plan by which disputes
between the two countries will reach
a peaceful adjustment as matter Of
course and in ordinary routine.
In the imitation of such an impor-
tant movement it must be expected
that some of its features will assume a
tentative character looking to a
further advance and yet it is apparent
that the treaty which has teen formu-
lated not only makes war between
the parties to it remote possibility
but precludes those fears and rumors
of war which Of themselves too often
assume the proportions of national
disaster.
1t is eminently fitting as we'll as
fortunate that the attempt to accom-
plish results so beneficial should BIZ
initiated by the kindred peoples
speaking the same tongue and joined
together by all the ties Of common
traditions, common institutions an(
common aspirations. The expert
ment of substituting civilized method
for brute force as the means of settlin!
international questions of right vii
thus be tried under the happiest au
spices. Its success ought not to b
doubtful and the fact that its ultimat
ensuing benefits are not likely to b
limited to two countries immediatel
concerned should cause it to be pre-
NOTED all the more eagerly.
The example set and the lcsso
furnished by the successful operatio
of this treaty are sure to be felt an
taken to heart sooner or later t
other nations and will thus mark tn
beginning of new epoch in civiliz
ton. Profoundly impressed as | an
the. efore. by the promise of tran
cendent good which this treaty afford
/ do not hesitate to accompany i
transmission with an expression
my earnest hope that it may CONNER
itself to the favorable consideration

Miners Made Destitute.

A sad state of affairs exists at
Girardville and Centralia by reason OF
the abandonment and suspension OF
the different mines in the neighbor-
hood, and many of the families de
pending on coal mining have scarcely
enough to eat.
To keep them alive, the storekeep-
ers had been supplying them up to a
short time ago, but the time arrived
when they were obliged to turn their
attention in their own direction, and
they found it impossible to keep up
their benevolent work any further and
thus distress falls upon hundreds.

COLEMAN ON THE CUT.

Former President of Cycle Board of Trade Expects No Further Reduction,
 The announcement recently made that some bicycle manufacturers had decided to cut their list price from $1O0 to $75. created very little surprise in trade circles. As is generally known the demand this year has been far q re- liable goods listing at prices within the reach of the public, and it has been an open secret that the higher priced mai- CTS have endeavored to meet this de- mand by putting out a combination of '96 and '97 model, with '06 name plate, or they have instructed their agents to meet competition by cutting prices.
 MT. R. Lindsay Coleman, ex-president of the National Cycle Board of Trade and president of the Western Wheel Works, in speaking on this subject, says:
 Tn establishing our price in 1892, we were fully cognizant of the trade condl- tions as existing then, and we deter mined to meet the popular demand for high grade wheel at an honest and reasonable price.
 Our announcement that we had es-
 abolished our price at $75, was met by the statement of other manufacturers that strictly high grade wheel could not be made and sold at so low figure.
 We expressed the opinion at that time that within i've years other high grade makers would fully realize their error in endeavoring to maintain a fictitious value on their product, and that the prices that we had fixed would within that time become the standard price for other high grade wheels.
 If bicycle is worth it's list price in January, it is worth that same price in July; per contra, if a so called S100 wheel is worth but $75 in July it was certainly worth no more in January. Fictitious values can no more be upheld for any length of time in the case of bi-
 cycles than stocks and bonds. The old adage that water must seek its level. is peculiarly true of bicycle prices. The secret of the success of the Western Wheel Works is that we have dealt honestly with the public, have stood fearlessly by our pledges in estab- | fishing a fair fixed price on our wheels and it is due to the further fact that We go one step further than other man. ufeoturers. in that we not only guanan- 1 tee our wheels, but we guarantee our prices as well, and the purchaser of a Crescent in February has the satisfac- | tion of knowing that his neighbor whc | purchased a Crescent in July, paid the same price as he did.
 II do not anticipate that still fur | ther reduction in the price of wheels | will be made next year, and I believe that when the announcement of '9S
 prices is made, my prediction of 1S9:
 will be fulfilled-that the Crescent price
 will have become the standard higr l grade price"

BIG CLOCK SALE coMING

A peremptory sale of clocks. the stock of Townsend & Montant, of New York, has just been held by order of the Un- derwriters' Salvage Co. of N. Y, who had failed to come to an adjustment with the insured. Among the clocks saved from the fire and auctioned off, were such we'll known makes as the New Haven and Ansonia Clock Go. s, the Seth Thomas, as well as large line of fine French imported clocks. Malley Neely's buyer was at the auction and bought Hberally and as a result New Haven will have great clock bargains soon.
