To Become q Disturbing Element In Span
ish Politics-secre Meetings Hold by His
Adherents in tho Army
London, November 6.-The Madrid
correspondent of The Daily Mail COM
menting on the difficulties that con-
front the Spanish government, says:
General Weyler has a large enough
following among officers Of the army,
owing to promotion or for other Ca
sons, in sympathy with him, to make
both the republican and carlist parties
endeavor to compromise with him in
order to obtain his support. The gov
eminent would be glad to give liber-
ty Of action to demonstrations in his
favor with a view Of gauging the ex-
tent Of his popularity, but it fears dis
turbances of the public peace.
There is much discomfort also among
the officers, owing to the marked
official favoritism displayed toward Of
ficers who have returned from Cuba
and the PHILIPPINES. A hundred or more

ject. General BOroa, the minister Of
war. hearing of the meeting, threat
ened to court-martial the participants
if that should be necessary to enforce
discipline and instructed the colonels
to warn them personally. The officers
promised not to repeat the offence, but
it is believed they will continue to
hold secret meetings. Similar meetings
have been held at Toledo, Barcelona,
Vittoria, Saragossa and Logrono. The
Correspondence Militar published the
facts and advised the officers to mutt
ny il their grievances were not re-
dressed. The editors of three newspa-
pers which printed the news of the
meetings have been arrested and will
be court-martialed. The Madrid papers
got warning and remained silent.

BITS FROM HIS DIARY.
Here is bit from his diary which
may prove interesting: Sept. Gross
ed the equator. In the distance it
across the ocean. Several passengers
kodak'd it. We had no fool cere-
monies, no fantasies, no horseplay. All
that sort of thing has gone out. In
old times silor, dressed as Neptune,
used to come in over the bows, with
his suite, and la:her up and shave
everybody who was crossing the equa-
tor for the first time, and then cleanse
these unfortunates by swinging them
from the yardarm and ducklng them
three times in the sea.
"'Sept. s, Sunday-We are moving so
nearly south that We cross only about
two meridians of longitude day. This
morning we were in longitude lis west
from Greenwich, and 10 west from
San Fran iseo. Tomorrow we shall be
close to the center of the globe-the
! $50 degree of west longitude and the
1S0th degree of east longitude.
"'And then we must drop out day
lose day out of our lives, day
never to be found again. We snail all
| d one day earlier than from the begin
ming of time we were foreOrdained to
die. We shall be day behindhaud all
! through eternity. We shall always be
retorting. But it is isn't to-day, it's
tomorrow We shall be in state of
confusion all the time and shall never
know what true happiness isl
Next day. Sure enough, it has
/ happeped. Yesterday it was Sept. s.
Sunday; today per the bulletin boards
at the head of the compauionway, it is
Sept. 10, Tuesday. There is some
thing uncanny about it, and uncomfort-
able. In fact, nearly unthnkable.
and wholly unrealizable, when
ore comes to consider it. While we
were crossing the one hundred and
eig nth meridian it was Sunday in the
stern of the ship where my family
were and TUESDAY in the bow where |
was. They were there eating the half
of d fresh apple on the 9Th, and L was
at tt e same time eating the half of q
fresh apple on the Sth, and could no.
tice how stale 1t was already. The
family were the same age that they
were when | had left them five minu-
ties before, but | was day older now

Notice to Shippers.

Office OF Commercial Agent,
Ell Paso. Texas, Sept. 25, 1897.
It has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance Of
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seaboard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating 10 New Orleans, or passing
through tina. point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
III. IL L. G. and Southern Pacific; Nj. K.
& T., H. s. T. @. and Southern Pacific:
Q. r. |. & p. 81. & II. G. and Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. M. K. & T., II.
& T. G. and Souther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts is fumt-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

Fort Sheridan Army Scandal.

Secretary of War Alger, bent upon
finding out al about the Lowering
Hammond scandal at Fort Sheridan,
has decided not to depend on army Office
reports or newspaper stories. He will
himself come to Chicago and will con-
duct a systematic overhauling of Fort
Sheridan.
This was decided at Washington, at
which time sealed orders were drawn
up and mailed to Maj. Gen. Brooke at
Chicago.
An sll-pervading silence kept guard
at army headquarters in the Pullman
building when it became known that
Gen. Alger had de cided to coma to
Chicago.

a gentleman who has followed the case
from the moment it was first known
that Capt. Lowering had prodded
Private Hammond with sword and
had him dragged by the heels across a

Magazines and newspapers are pub
llshring from time to time statistics OF
the marriage of women. These show
steady advance within the last two
decades from IS to %. They also indi-
cate falling off in the number of mar
rlages.
The causes of the increasing maturity
of brides and the multiplication OF
bachelor maids are, broadly speaking,
college education, professional life and
galnful occupation. Fifty years ago
girls took or their plafores and put on
their eddlng gowns. Marriage was the
chief end of woman. She accepted II
as she accepted the four seasons. II II

OF her birthtight. Once married, her
husband became her vicar. She merged
her individuality in his, declares the
Minneapolis Times.

clety they are armed to the teeth with

give humble sultors chance to pro-
pose to them they are regarding matri-
mony with the provoking GOODNESS Of a
woman OF the world. Their love Is 70
thoughtful and practical that It ceases
to be love. Disappointed members OF
the male sex harbor revengeful hopes
that cataclysm OF unrequlted affec-
ton will some day break the calm of the
| cold beauty. II rarely does.
In the minds OF many this prejudice

part of educated women betokens dis.
nster to society. Their fears exagger-
ate the Importance Of what Is, after all,

women. The intellectual side Of femi.
