WRAPPED IN GLOOM.
Officials Depressed Over the Prevail
 ing Situation

London, Nov. 2.-The Times pub fishes long dispatch received by mail from Madrid which says that the general situation presents a picture of almost unrelieved gloom.
 Official circles in declaring against American mediation, fully recognize that the rejection of the proffered good offices of the United States may lead successively to a recognition of the insurgents as belligerents, the rup- ture of diplomatic relations, and fin ally war.
 It would be a dangerous error to suppose that this position is one of bluff The Spaniards know very well that they would be beaten in the long run, but nevertheless the idea of a war with the United States does not frighten them.
 If Cuba must be lost, as they believe

SERIOUS FOR NEW ENGLAND.
The South Cutting in on the Great
 Cotton Mill Industry.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-At yester- days session of the New England Cotton Manufacturers assoc atton Ar thur Parkinson of Providence, R. l., In a paper on the Manufacture and Export of Cotton Goods said: "It is we'll known that southern manufac- turers, with the present conditions, can undersell or compete easily with the eastern mills on mediums and coarse fabrics and the future looks dark for New England. The facilities for manufacturing have been so in- creased that in many Hines of goods the existing manufacturing establish ments can produce a vast amount more than what the United States can consume. and it seems likely that each year will cause stagnation for the in- dustry, and of course the usual stop- pages Of mills during certain periods. As a result of this continued cOmpeti- ton in certain lines of goods for ths home market, the pricss are low, wages are low and tariff legislation cannot help matters, for the merchant and jobber will buy in the cheapest market, and that means southern looms will be engaged ahead and the New England mills must take what is left.'

IS FRANCE AIDING THE MAIIDIi
The Paris Eclaire Makes "a Remarkable
 Statement About the SOudan.

Paris, Nov. 2.-The Ec-aire pub lished remarkable article yesterday to the effect that three French mis- sions were now on their way to Khar- -toum, by forced marches, as the re- suit of an understanding with the mahdi, reached in 1896, by which France recognized the Soudan as an independent state under the suzerainty of the sultan of Turkey, in return for certain concessions.
 In conclusion the Eclaire said France is acting in these regions by express desire of the mahdi in con- formity with the principle of the maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman empire, necessarily pro- claimed by M. Han notaux, the French minister for foreign affairs"

Luetgert Trial Oratory.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-The food Of oratory
continued in the Luetgert trial today
and it will last two days longer. At
torney Phalen of the defense concluded
his address after speaking two hours this
morning, and then Attorney Vincent be-
gan the closing address in behalf OF the
defendant The main point of his argu,
ment today was to raise in the minds OF
the jury a doubt as TO whether Mrs:
Luetgert is really dead. He admitted
that she had disappeared, but insisted
that it had not been shown beyond
doubt that she was dead. Having spent
much time in trying to create the doubt
in the minds of the jury, he insisted that
there should be no half way measures in
the verdict. If Luetgert was guilty. OF
this crime he deserved all that the law
could mete out to him. but If he was not
guilty beyond all doubt he should be set
free.
Mr.. Vincent insisted the case was not
one for compromise verdcts 1t would
not do to sentence the prisoner TO the
because it was just possible
that the woman might turn up some day.
If the jury believed there was any nkli-
hood of her turning up at any later day
it was their business to acquit the prison
err now.

A RECIPROCITY PLAN,
Mckinley VIII Appoint spaciaf
Committee with PIenary Powers

Washington. Oct 14.-The presideut-
has decided to appoint n special COM
missioner with plenary powers to carry
into effect the reciprocity arrangements
of sections 3 and OF the tariff act-
approved July "a, 1897.
It was found upon making invesfigu-
ton of the matter that the regular
force of the department of state is mt
present so overcrowded with pressing
business that serious delay In carryips-
out the expressed wish of congress-
would inevitably follow, If, In addition
to the usual routine work OF the De
partment, its officers were required To
perform the civil examinations and ne
gotiations essential carry forward the,
will of congress as expressed In those
sections above referred to. Moreover, the
pressure for early and consistent action
in the arrangement of measures OF recr-
procity has been very great from for
eign countries as wei as from our own
citizens. The interest of the president
in reciprocity is especially keen, ana
during the connection with the tarin
legislation of $780, while chairman oil
the committee on ways ana means On
the house of representatives, the inciu-
sion In that law of reciprocity PROVISIONS
was conclusive of his determination 10
foster and promote American industry
, and commerce by this means. In view
of these facts the president has deHE~
mated the Hon. John A. KassoT or IOWA
ms such special commissioner with MI
| Chairman Coleman of Kentucky as sec
! rotary.
| The commissioner Is charged partfcu-
! larry to look after the agricultural inter-
| ests both in the north and south, n0t
! forgetting the large and increasing man
ufacturing districts east OF the Aiie@.
ghenies:
Mr.. Kasson has had varied expert
ence In diplomatic negotiations and has
shown much ability In all with whexh
he has been connected. He was mipssr
ter to Austria from June, 1871, TO May,
! 1881, and minister to Germany from
July, 1884, to March, 1885,: Preceding
his diplomatic service, Mr.. kass0n was
! for many years a member OF the ways
and means committee Of the house oil
representatives, and In that place be-
came thoroughly familiar with all ar
poets Of the tariff question and the de-
! bate on that subject.
Mr.. Coleman mas also been Connected
| with the diplomatic service. For ~
| number of years he was secretary of the
United States embassy at Berlin. He
Is deep student of economic questions.
Because or his experience he Is expected
to render valuable service to Mr.. Kas-
son In dealing with these important ne
gotiations. 1t Is expected the commfg-
sion will be speedily organized and
promptly begin its important labors Lkf
will be estab lished In the department Of
state, where suitable quarters have been
ASSIGNED by direction of the secretary
of state.

that Attorney General McKenna will be
nominated for the supreme bench unless
some cause intervenes between now aud

After the adjournment of the court
today the justices and the officers of the

Although his resignation does not take
