Did They See Connen2

The rumor is current to the effect that two
residents Of st. Clair, while on a recent visit
to Philadelphia, saw Phil. J. Connell that
the ex-ehief clerk has been sick and was
under the care of a Pottsville nurse. Billy"
Gordon, formerly of st. Clair but now of
Philadelphia, is alleged to have said that he
can produce Cornell any time he may be
wanted. These rumors came to the ears of
those who are interested in Connell's where
abouts, but thus far they have been unable
to verify them.

A CONCERT.
Brilliant Musical Event at the
tion Church Last Night.

The sacred concert in the Annunciation
church last night proved a grand financial
and artistic success. From both points Of
view the concert was one Of the finest ever
undertaken by local talent aud superior to
any given in town in recent years. An who
took part in the program acquitted themselves
so well that distinctions would be invidious
and it would require much more space than
can be afforded at present to give individual
justice. The audience that witnessed the
concert taxed the capacity Of the spacious
church. Upwards Of 800 tickets were sold
for the event. After the concert the ladies
and gentlemen who participated in IT, with a
few invited guests, went to Bickert's dining
p%arlors and partook of a sumptuous supper.

was excellent.

Monetary Conference Bill Passed.
All the ordinary rules are suspended

can he passed and resolutions adopted by a
two-thirds vote of the house. Friday was
the first of these suspension days and the
house celebrated it by passing the senate
international monetary conference bill.
Despite the seeming wide divergence OF
views on the money question the bill was
passed after a lively debate of two hours
by a vote of 279 to 8. 1t was supported
alike by Republicans, silver Republicans,
gold Democrats and silver Democrats.
The silver Democrats and silver Republic
n disclaimed any faith in the at
tempt to secure bimetallism by an interna-
tional agreement. but they express them
selves as willing and anxious to have the
test made. Mr.. Quigg, Republican of New
York, and Mr.. johnson, Republican of In
diana, both made vigorous speeches in
opposition to the bill. Among those who
spoke for the bill were G. w. Stone, Re-
publican of Pennsylvania, and Mr.. Wat
son, Republican of Ohio. One hours
debate on a side was allowed on the
monetary conference bill. The house
amendments were added to give the bill
greater efficiency. MIR. McCreary, Demo-
crat of Kentucky, who was a member Of
the last international conference. gave
hearty support to the bill.

the books cut the odds down to 3 to 8 at the

Elmhurst, which had Il capital of 10000,

cveA,s ANSWER TO SPAIN.
AL, ofers of Autonomy are Rejected

All Offers of Autonomy are Rejected
BY the Provisional Government.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat printed
the following Cuban correspondence on
Thursday: The Cubans in arms feel that
they have accomplished too much, suffered
too much and been deceived too much in
their relations with Spain, pastand present,
to negotiate for peace on any other basis
than absolute freedom. They will not con-
sider autonomy in any form or under any
guarantee, no matter how secure ii may be.
Through their president, as well as the
commander and chief of the army, they
have catcgorically so stated in answer to
your correspondents question.
The following announcements were
adopted in full cabinet session, jointly
signed by the president of Cuba's pro-
visional government and her general in
chief, and sealed with the seal of the
infant republic:
We take pleasure in answering the fol-
lowing question: "Would you, for Cuba,
accept autonomy, even if guaranteed by
the United States?"
In no form whatever. We cannot admit
autonomy or any solution that %presupposes
the continuance of the sovereignty of
Spain. Our earnest conviction is that Spain
is incapable of governing Cuba, and that
the island of Cuba cannot enjoy a normal
or civilized life under Spanish authority,
no matter what form such authority may
take. Our ideal and the aspirations of all
Cubans have always been absolute indie
~pendence-tO see Cuba, in fact, a demo-
cratic republic. To realize this the Cubans
took up arms in 1868, and again in 1895,
and would take them up q hundred times
more If 1t were necessary. Unless inde-
pendence is achieved there can never be
permanent peace in the island of Cuba.
That there shall be no doubt whatever
upon thes subject, W. have written in Our
constitution the eleventh article, which is,
"Any treaty with Spain must be definitely
based upon the absolute independence of
the island of Cuba.'

The ~unlucky number, ID. figured in the

NO comment, and Il stranger would know
nothing of it, We're he to depend upon
the newspapers for his information, for
not a line in either of them tells of a sim
gle crime. Ordinarily, one would think
that SO many murders were indicative of a
quarrelsome people, hut here it is not the
case, most of them arising from the too
ready use of the knife, and one in partic-
ular being done in pure %wantonnesS, where

A dispatch from Pierre v Mmlc
ranchmen on most of the ranges report
stock to be all right and no doubt about
their pulling through the winter, others are
reporting more snow and a doubt as to the
outcome, unless there is an early tlaw.
The snow is not nearly So deep anywhere
on the range as in the eastern portion Of
the state, and a few days of thaw would
uncover thousands of acres of range. \
thaw of IL week now would mean relief to
thousands of cattle and would be worth an
immense sum to stockmen. Most of them
can pull through without it, but will come
out thin in the spring.

BLACK Hills PROTESTS.
Presidents Forestry Order Would
Work Great Injury.

A Rapid City dispatch says: The order
of President Cleveland establishing the
Black Hills forest reserve created the most
intense surprise and Indignation in this
section. The land set apart embraces a
large portion of the richest mining country
in the Black Hills in old organized counties,
containing many towns and settlements.
The proclamation is regarded as a huge
mistake and every effort will he made TO
have it rescinded at once. 1t comes at a
time when the general prospects of the
Hills were never SO encouraging, and un-
less revoked will he considered an unjust
blow to the rights of the people of this
section.
