It is reported from New York that
when Mrs. Lease tried to speak at a re-

and drowned her voice so completely
that she was obliged to sit down.
Kansas people are willing to offer all

WILL ASK DAMAGES OF SPAIN.
Members of the Competitor Crew to Garry
Their Cases to Washington.

New York. Nov. 25.-It Is expected
that the next chapter of the COMPETE
tor story will carry the case to Wash
ington. Captain Laborde will make de-
mands for damages from the Spanish
government, and the United States gov
eminent will be asked to press the
claims. Melton. who has suffered more
than the others, is likely TO make SIM
liar claim. Leavitt, the only other
American in the party, will place his
case before the authorities of the state
department. Captain Laborde is at the
home of his brother. A physician who
visited him said that long rest must fol-
low before Laborde recovered his
health. Laborde. in discussing the case,
said:
ITO begin WITH am an American cit
izen, having been born in the United
States in 1858. Then, the Competitor
was an American schooner and was
regularly cleared under American pa
pers. She was flying the American
flag. There is nothing to substantiate
the Spanish claim that we were pirates.
because there is no evidence Of piracy
on the high seas. The officers of the
Spanish gunboats were the pirates.

assembly will be convened by Gov
ernor Tanner early in January. 1898. was
made possible and almost fact by the
conference of Republican members of
the last legislature held in the senate
chamber
Ninety-four of the 126 Republican
members OF both houses answered to
roll call; ninety-four placed themselves
on record as desiring a special session
for reapportioning the state, and ninety
four members voted to leave the mat
ter of framing a reapportionment bill
with a committee of sixteen members,
six from Cook county and ten from the
state at large, said committee to be
selected by Senator Berry and Repre-
sentative Daugherty, and the result OF
the committees action to be handed di-
rect to Governor Tanner, who would
then decide for himself whether a spe-
cial session would be called. From the
fact that this committee will be select
ed from men desiring a special session
rests the claim that the same will sure
ly be called.

CUBAN POLICY TO BE GIVEN.
Question viii BE Freely Discussed in tn,
Presidents Message

Washington, Nov. 25.-Cuba and the
currency will be the leading topics in
the presidents message. 1t is under
stood that the discussion of the Cuban
situation will be comprehensive While
sincere hope is entertained that the
Sagasta ministry may end the war at
an early date, the possibility Of its fail
ure cannot be overlooked. In that event
it is desirable for the policy Of this
country to be known. A strong intima-
ton Is given that in the failure to end
the present conditions in Cuba at an
early date no hesitation will be shown
in the United States making known it's
position of ultimate Intervention. HUI
mainly and commerce may both be
made the grounds for this action.
The belief is that the Cuban problem
will be solved without danger of war
between Spain and the United States
and will be solved through the good
offices of this country, but the expecta-
ton Is that these good offices will be
exerted within a reasonable time after
congress meets and after the prospects
Of the insurgents accepting or rejecting
autonomy are known beyond question.
1t is the confident belief that the presi-
dents discussion Of the Cuban situation
will tend to strengthen the feeling that
the administration will be able to meet
every phase of il in a manner to satisfy
the conservative business interests Of
the country and discourage radical or
precipitate action.

STRIKE STILL UNSETTLED.
Conference of Miners and Operators Copes
to an End.

Joliet, Ills, Nov. 25.-The joint con-
ference Of operators and miners ad-
journed without coming to any agree
ment. All differences were adjusted
except as to whether the operators shall
pay the men on a gross weight basis or
on a screened coal basis On this point
the convention came to deadlock. The
miners insisted on the gross weight plan
as provided by the state law.
All the operators of the Braidwood
and LaSalle third vein fields, except w.
II. Holcomb of the Star Coal company
agreed to pay on a gross weight basis.
but Holcomb's opposition prevented an
agreement. He fatty refused to pay
on a gross weight scale at his Coal City
mines. Finally the proposition OF the
operators to pay TN cents per ton over
a seven eighth screen or 80 cents a ton
gross weight in the Braidwood field at
the option Of the operators, cents per
ton less in the third vein field and 90
cents a ton for screened coal in the
Streator field, was referred back to the
miners Of the various shafts to vote up
on. The conference then adjourned.

CASE OF CAPTAIN LOWERING.
Private Hammond Finishes His Testimony
Before the Ofhcers,

Fort Sheridan, Ills, Nov 25.-Wheth-
er what in civil life would be called
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm" is simple matter of discipline
in the United States army is what the
court-martial trying Captain Leonard
A. Lowering hopes to decide. The
twelve members constituting the trial
board will, according to Judge Advocate
Hunter, walk over the route over which
Private Charles Hammond was
dragged, receiving kicks and wounds
and bruises, as the soldiers, acting un-
der Captain Coverings orders, hauled
the prisoner from the guardhouse.
II want them to see for themselves
what Hammond had to endure aside
from the alleged assault by the accused
officer" said the judge advocate during
the morning, as he strolled across the
parade ground enjoying the pure air.
"They will be better able TO judge the
severity of the measures adopted TO
bring the obstinate prisoner into court
after counting the guardhouse steps
down which Hammond was hauled"
Hammond has finished his testimony,
accusing Lowering OF extremely brutal
conduct and adroitly defending himself
against Lawyer Blair, who cross-ques-
toned him. DR.. Lippincott. who exam
ined Hammond's wounds also testified.
The defense, which will consist princi-
pally of arguments, then followed. Low
ering may take the stand.

Premier Laurier Eager To Co-0perats
with Uncle sam in Sending Relief to the
People In the KIondike Country.
New York, Nov. 25.-Secretary Of
War Alger. who came to town to at
tend the annual banquet of the chamber
of commerce, said in an interview that
he favored a change in the duty i'm
posed by the Dingley tariff law on white
pine imported from Canada. He thought
the rate of 81 a thousand, as at present,
excessive. Speaking of the plans for
the relief of the Klondike miners in
case of a famine, General Alger said:
II met Sir Wilfrid Laurier while he
was in Washington, and we had a talk
in regard to the Yukon country. We
agreed to work together If it becomes
necessary to send relief to the people
in that frozen region who are seeking
gold.
Canada Will Cooperate.
''The cooperation of Canada being
assured. believe that we could manage
to get provisions to Dawson City in
some way before the summer opens the
Yukon river. Captain Ray, who rep
resents the war department. has gone
to Alaska to report, but just where he
Is I can not say. He left st. Michaels
on Aug 20, and in the middle Of Septem-
Der 1 heard from him at Fort Yukon,
about 1900 miles up the Yukon river
and 500 miles from Dawson City. The
Yukon river freezes and 1t is not easy
to travel on the rough ice. Therefore.
to send relief in midwinter by that route
is not practicable. The government has
about LOO reindeer in Alaska, but they
are scattered Mr.. Bliss. secretary of
the interior. has placed at the disposal
of the war department 100 reindeer that
are within hundred miles of st. Mich
aels 1t is just possible that with rein
deer and with the aid Of Indians small
expedition might be sent by this route.
Provisions at st. Michaels.y
my idea is, however, that in March
an expedition will be sent over the Chill
coot pass by the Dalton trail There are
provisions in plenty at st. Michaels The
last / heard was that 5000 or 5000 tons
Of provisions were there, and as steam
ships ply between there and San Fran
cisco, the danger of starvation is not
great"
do you think Alaska should be made
a territory?'
IT do: because. by next summer, I
think, from 100000 to 100000 people will
be In the Yukon country. My idea is
that two territories should be made an6
the Yukon country should be one OF
them. A territorial form Of govern
ment will be much better than the pres
ent method Of governing Alaska, IN my
opinion. The state Of Nevada has about
IS, 900 inhabitants, and the Yukon coun
try alone will have three or four time:
that number next spring"
